Red Mansion points are hard to earn

After finishing her birthday, Lin Daiyu leaned on the couch, quite unhappy.

"What's wrong with Yu'er? Didn't she go well when she had her birthday yesterday?" Lin Hanchuan wondered when he saw it. Although it was written in the book that Daiyu was sad when she saw the flowers and shed tears in the wind, since he got along for so many days, he felt that Daiyu He has a lively personality, is full of curiosity, and writes poems and articles well. Apart from that, he has the same preferences as other young girls. Sometimes he thinks that his clothes are too plain, so he happily matched clothes for him jewelry.

"Maybe I'm overthinking. Sister Lixuan didn't seem very happy when she left yesterday."

"But I didn't take good care of her?" Lin Hanchuan asked hastily. Liu Xuan is a relative of Mrs. Lin's side. The Lin family is small, and there is a girl who is the same age as Daiyu among the relatives, but it should not be offended.

"How could my sister's arrangement be wrong? Sister Lixuan talked about clothes and jewelry yesterday, and was refuted by sister Bao citing scriptures. Although I helped her a few words, I'm afraid she will be a little unhappy in the end."

"Miss Bao has always been exquisite, why did she have an argument with Xuan'er?"

"Speaking of which, Xuan'er is also at fault. She loves to dress up very much. Seeing that Sister Bao's clothes are plain, she wants to advise her. Who knows that Sister Bao calmly refuted her, I'm afraid I feel very wronged."

"That being said, it's Miss Bao that Xuan'er is annoyed with, so what's the matter with my younger sister?"

"Having said that, I'm really sorry, and I plan to invite Sister Xuan over in two days."

"It's just a trivial matter. My sister has made up her mind, so don't worry about it. Just invite Xuan'er to come over in a few days, so we sisters can talk."

"Sister said, since that's the case, I'll send someone to post."

Lin Hanchuan persuaded Daiyu a few words, and saw that she ignored the matter and turned around to correct Lin Moyu's article, so she was relieved.

It's just that Lin Daiyu was happy, but he was worried.Such a girl who is unparalleled in talent and beauty, sensitive and worrying, what kind of talent and beauty can she find to be worthy of her?It would be easy to casually match Daiyu with a son or brother of comparable family background, but Lin Hanchuan always felt unwilling.

He had something on his mind, so he picked up a piece of paper on the desk, and saw that it was a poem written by Daiyu, but it was about peach blossoms.Lin Hanchuan read it silently twice, and gradually had a vague plan in his mind.

"Tomorrow is March [-]rd. Is there a holiday in the academy? You just go out for a day." Seeing Lin Moyu coming back, Lin Hanchuan asked.

"It's a holiday, my husband said, take us out of the city tomorrow to go out and write poems."

"Traveling is to compose poems. Tomorrow there will be peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains. Why don't you use peach blossoms as the theme and hold a poetry competition. The winners will be rewarded. Mo Geer will take this poem by Yu'er to see. Who can beat you."

"My sister is always stable, why are you messing around like this? How can boudoir poetry be passed on to outsiders?" Daiyu blamed.

"Yu'er, my plan kills two birds with one stone. First, it will make our Tingyun Academy famous in the capital, so that the poor students in it will also have a good reputation in the future, and it will be easier to find a way out. Second, the poetry conference must set up a lottery Yes, if there is less, it will make others laugh at our shabbyness, and if there is too much, it will cost a lot of money for nothing. It is better to put everything in and out in your purse. This poem of my sister will definitely win their hearts and minds. Besides, Mo Geer In the name of my sister, who would have thought of it on my younger sister's head?"

"Eldest sister's words are inappropriate. I have limited knowledge in poetry and prose, and all the teachers and classmates in the academy know it. If I take this song from my sister, it will be suspected of trying to gain fame." Brother Mo said, what he said It's tactful, but he really refuses to show off Lin Daiyu's poems as his own.

"Sister, this method is too absurd. But meeting friends through poetry is an elegant thing. I wrote this poem today because I saw the peach blossoms in our yard blooming well. If I want to go out and sing poems tomorrow, I will not be able to do without the peach blossoms, Mo Brother, it’s better to prepare early.”

Seeing that Lin Daiyu and Brother Mo were not cooperating, Lin Hanchuan had no choice but to find another plan.

The weather was fresh on March [-]rd, and sure enough, most of the literati in the capital went out for an outing.

"In the past, King Chen had a feast of banquets, and Ruan Jie was a native of the old tour. Now we go out in Tingyun Academy to find beauty. It is also an elegant thing to meet friends through poetry. Everyone, please show your talents. I will give you a generous gift from Tingyun Academy for the winner. "

"Where did this small academy come from, and what kind of literati gatherings are there? I really laughed out loud." The young master immediately said with a sneer when he heard this.

"My lord, don't make jokes, maybe you can't beat me at Tingyun Academy." A gentleman said dissatisfied when he saw it.

After hearing this, Mr. Jinyi became very competitive, and wrote a poem himself, throwing it out and commenting on it.

When they saw it, everyone stopped, some for generous gifts and money, some for the sake of showing off their talents, and finally attracted the masters of the Imperial College.

"This peach blossom poem is out of the ordinary. It has a new idea, clever words, and it still has a simple style." After receiving the circulation, everyone nodded their heads one after another, and they all recommended Daiyu's work as the first.

"It's just the inscription, why only Tingyun Academy is written?" the gentleman from Guozijian asked doubtfully.

"The people from Tingyun Academy really won?" Mr. Jinyi was not convinced, and ordered the servant to fetch it. When he saw it, he fell silent and searched everywhere for the poet.

The masters of Tingyun Academy also looked at each other, wondering who wrote this poem, only Lin Moyu knew it well after seeing the poem, secretly thinking that the big sister is too naughty, how will this end?

In the end, the poet was not found, and no one wrote the right handwriting. Sure enough, as Lin Hanchuan expected, Tingyun Academy gained both fame and fortune.

"Big sister is too naughty, why did she make her own way and pass on her poems, what should I do now?" Lin Moyu turned around anxiously.

"What are you in a hurry for? Isn't it just a poem? You even earned the money back for us."

"Elder Sister, you don't know that the King of Beijing Jing was there that day, and now he is digging three feet to find the poet."

"King of Jingjing?" Lin Hanchuan's heart was broken. As the saying goes, poetry expresses ambition, and literature contains Tao. He just wanted to use peach blossom poems as a matchmaker to find a like-minded person for Daiyu, but he never thought of climbing King of Beijing.Besides, there are many concubines in the palace of Beijing, how could he be willing to let Daiyu suffer in the rich and beautiful brocade once she enters the palace?

"Yes, the King of Beijing Jing pretends to be a rich man, and also goes to enjoy the spring. He must not let him know that this peach blossom poem is written by his sister." Lin Moyu stomped her feet.Although the Beijing Prince's Mansion is well-established, but the Prince of Beijing already has a concubine, with his elder sister's talent, learning and appearance, how can she be inferior to others?

"It's okay, only you and my sister have read the poem written by my sister, and I transcribed it with my own handwriting and ordered my confidant to submit it to your poetry conference. No matter how capable the King of Beijing is, he can only find it out on me." That's all." Lin Hanchuan thought for a moment and said.

The peach blossom poem written by Lin Daiyu spread throughout the capital in just a few days, and even the emperor heard about it.

"I heard that a peach blossom poem has become famous in Beijing recently, is there such a thing?" the emperor summoned the minister of the Ministry of Rites and asked Mingzhi.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is such a thing. This poem is very popular with my young son, so I can also memorize it." Zhang Mingzhi recited it with the emperor as he spoke.

"Sure enough! Who has this talent and learning, can he serve in the court?" The emperor asked anxiously. Since he became the throne, he has been thirsty for talents, and he is afraid that there are some mountain and wild jewels that he can't use for him.

"It's a pity that the style of this poem should be made by a boudoir girl."

"It was actually done by a woman, can you find out?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have found out that it was done by the wife of Xie Yan, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment." Zhang Mingzhi paused, he only found Xie Yan's wife Lin Qiongyu's head from the handwriting, but learned from Xie's servants, This Mrs. Xie only likes to eat, drink and have fun every day, and is too lazy to write poems and articles.After a little investigation, it turns out that Mrs. Xie has a younger sister named Daiyu, who is good at reading and writing on weekdays.It is self-evident who made this poem.There is such a genius in the boudoir, which is a perfect match for his youngest son.

"Is it Xie Yan, who is a researcher in Jinke? He is very lucky." The emperor said slightly sour.

"Exactly, I have the guts to ask His Majesty to decide on something." Zhang Mingzhi knelt down and said.

"Ai Qing, please hurry up, it's okay to talk about something."

"This minister's youngest son, Zhang Jia, is seventeen years old. I heard that Mrs. Xie still has a relative and sister waiting in her boudoir, so I dare to ask Your Majesty to make the decision."

"I heard that you are a young boy who is both talented and academic. If you hadn't kept your filial piety at home, you would definitely be the leader in this subject."

"Your Majesty is wrong."

"I heard that your son has been proposed for marriage since he was seven years old, why have you waited until now to ask to marry Xie Yan's wife and sister?" the emperor gossiped.

"I didn't know anything when I was young, and I only loved to travel around. It was only after the death of Zhuo Jing the year before last that I regretted it and devoted myself to career and economics. I saw this peach blossom poem a few days ago and was full of praise. I heard that the minister concluded that it was done by a woman, so I didn't care about other girls. Due to his good character and appearance, he immediately forced his grandmother to marry him. It's a pity that Mrs. Xie has already married and heard that she still has a sister, so I boldly begged to come here to comfort my son's infatuation."

"It turns out that it's what the son likes, and I will accomplish a beautiful thing." As he said that, he made a decree in front of Zhang Mingzhi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Mingzhi felt relieved, wiped off his sweat, and finally managed to grab his daughter-in-law before King Beijing, avoiding his mother's nagging.
