Today is the Lantern Festival. Dongshan Temple has set up a vegetarian restaurant and hung lantern riddles. It was first planned by the three eldest grandsons, and unexpectedly attracted many legitimate daughters and ladies from famous families to gather together.
Everyone has an extraordinary status, and everyone comes from a famous family. The worst is probably the Zhao family in Tianshui, a prominent family in the county. In terms of status, the Zhu family is obviously the lowest.
Even though many women present knew Mr. Zhu and knew that Li Shan was engaged to Mr. Cui of Qinghe, but except for a few people, few people talked to her.
But such a righteous act immediately attracted rave reviews... The aristocratic family members are not wild beasts. Relatively speaking, they like to follow rules, not to mention that the person Zhu protected was also born in the Yang family of Hongnong.
Princess Qi waved her hands and was about to leave, but was held tightly by Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin... What happened today seemed to be an offense caused by the Zhu family, but in fact it had become a dispute within the Yang family of Hongnong.
In any case, due to the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty, the Hongnong Yang family's reputation and power increased greatly, but Princess Qi wanted to bully Yang Guang's daughter. It would be a joke to tell it.
However, they no longer wanted to enjoy the lantern riddles. Everyone sat down in the side hall and tasted the vegetarian food of Dongshan Temple... Dongshan Temple was first famous for the legendary scriptures from the West, but the later painting style... because of the lantern riddles and because of Dongshan Restaurant
, and Su Zhai, which is already famous in Jingzhao.
After all, the main ingredient of Suzhai is soybean products, and there are many types of soybean products... and Li Shan's family in his previous life opened a tofu shop.
"I have seen both sides of Madam Zhu before." The plump Yang smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, the house in Yanshoufang..."
Mrs. Zhu nodded slightly, and when she saw that she was about to go up the stairs, she supported Mrs. Yang with both hands, "That is my son's new house, and it will be repaired this year."
"That's the place to get married." Yang nodded and said with a smile, "We will live next to each other in the future and talk a lot."
Not far away, Ms. Zhang saw Ms. Zhu diligently helping Mr. Yang up the stairs, and she couldn't help but frown slightly. This girl's status among the Yangs of Hongnong was not prominent. Although her husband, the warrior Yun, was given the title of Duke, he was listed among the heroes of the Yuanmou in Taiyuan.
listed, but has no real power.
The daughter Cui Xiaoniang beside her said with a deliberately bright voice, "I just heard that Mrs. Yang is three months pregnant."
"That's true." The Changsun family in front looked back at Miss Cui and said with a smile: "The clever mind is really the work of Tianhe."
The sullen Princess Qi glanced at Miss Cui, whose cheeks were dizzy, and said something in her heart. King Qi once wanted to marry her cousin to Li Shan, but was politely rejected... Half a year later, Li Shan
Then she got engaged to Mrs. Cui.
I don’t know who revealed this matter. Yang Shidao, who returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was very angry about this... It’s not that he blamed Li Shan, the popular man in front of His Majesty, but that he blamed King Qi and Princess Qi for their indiscriminate matchmaking.
The Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin at the front suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Yu Wenshiji sold the house to Li Shan. It turned out that his ex-wife, Princess Nanyang, became a monk in Dongshan Temple.
Everyone has different thoughts, regardless of the status of the husband's family or the mother's family, but only the family's reputation. In-laws and old friends sit in the side hall and enjoy the prestigious Dongshan Suzhai together.
The princess's name was Guanyin, so she knew she was close to Buddhism. The children of the Zheng family had a close relationship with Buddhism. She glanced at the vivid carp on the plate and frowned slightly.
Princess Qin said with a smile: "It is made of beans, fried in vegetable oil, and seasoned, and finally made into a fish shape."
"It's bitterly cold in the north. If you eat vegetarian food, men can do well, but women will inevitably be weak." Changsun explained: "After Huairen made Gewurztraminer, he then used his skill to melt it. It can replenish the body and strengthen the qi without weakening the meat."
“I’ve heard the name Qiong Yao for a long time.”
“Dongshan Restaurant also has this dish, but it’s too expensive.”
The topic turned to Li Shan, and Zheng Guanyin smiled and said to a young girl: "You have lived in Longxi for a long time, and have you heard of Li Caikao?"
The young girl looked like she had just been married, and her voice was clear and sweet. "Just now I heard at the foot of the mountain, 'My clothes are wet with the rain of apricot blossoms, and my face is not chilled by the willow wind.'"
Although the apricot flowers are not in full bloom yet, some of the apricot flowers at the foot of the mountain have already bloomed, and they are pink, white and tender red, so beautiful.
"Zhigui told you," Zhang said, "He and Huairen are the best friends."
Changsun whispered in Zhu's ear: "She was born in the Zhao family in Tianshui. Last year, she married into the Zhang family in Wucheng. Her elder brother got the daughter of the Zheng family."
In other words, this Zhao family is the Zhang family's sister-in-law, so she can be regarded as an in-law of the Li family... If you think about it again, the Zheng family can also be regarded as an in-law of the Li family.
"Such a poetic talent is truly a gift from heaven." Mrs. Zhao looked at Miss Cui, "The article "The Theory of Love and Lotus" will be passed down to future generations, and it will definitely be a good talk."
"Such a token is so enviable!"
"When future generations read this article, they will definitely know the story of Furong Garden."
Several young ladies who had gone out to play with their mother sat together, chattering incessantly and whispering in secrets. Mrs. Cui's head was lowered to her chest.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Miss Cui, "Li Langjun went north to take office, and he also wrote such wonderful articles as "Inscription on the Humble Room". I wonder if there will be any good works in the near future?"
Mrs. Cui hesitated for a moment. She had been writing letters for more than a month, but no poems had been sent. The only poem "A few plum blossoms in the corner, Ling Han bloomed alone" was sent by her betrothed.
At this time, a slightly sharp female voice sounded, "The story of Nanliang Zhongrong, written by Guo Pusuo, is no longer an idiom."
All the ladies present were from well-known families, and they had been familiar with poetry since childhood. They understood it as soon as they heard this... Zhong Rong, a literary giant from Nanliang, commented on Jiang Yan, a veteran of the three dynasties, saying that Jiang Yan dreamed of the ancient Guo Pu asking for his five-color pen, and he himself
After that, it was difficult for Jiang Yan to write poetry again. This is the so-called allusion to Jiang Yan's talent being exhausted.
Mrs. Zhu turned her head and glanced, and sure enough, she was Princess Qi.
Everyone looked at Princess Qi, and then at Mrs. Zhu whose expression remained unchanged. The banquet that had been lively just now fell silent for a moment.
Zheng Guanyin glanced displeasedly. Princess Qi Yang had been spoiled since she was a child. Because her parents died early and she had few elders to discipline her, she developed such a temper... After all, she was just a girl who was not yet twenty years old.
As for the little girl, she has to fight for it.
Mrs. Zhu didn't bother to answer, and she didn't feel embarrassed. Although she still didn't know where her son's poems came from, but just by listening to them with her own ears, there were dozens of amazing poems that had not yet been spread.
The atmosphere in the silent palace was a little weird. Zheng Guanyin was a little annoyed, but because of the relationship between King Qi Li Yuanji and the prince, he couldn't reprimand him casually. He was about to wink at Princess Qin when he saw someone standing up not far away from the corner of his eye.
.
"Years ago, the Liu bandits wreaked havoc in Hebei and poisoned Shandong. The army was defeated and the enemy rode close to drink from the Yellow River."
There was a hint of trembling in her voice and a hint of childishness, but Miss Cui, who was tall and tall, looked directly at Princess Qi, "Wucheng fell, and more than a thousand people from various tribes had butcher's knives hung on their necks. If Li Langjun hadn't attacked the enemy at night, we would have been defeated.
It’s almost like hell on earth.”
"Now, Li Langjun is in charge of acting as the governor of the state, resisting the Turks from the north, forcing more than 10,000 troops to surrender, and returning Shuozhou to the territory. Even if his talents are exhausted, what is there to regret?"
