So the fact that she was able to leave poems at Qingya Restaurant is not to say that the princess was so good at poetry.
This is because Qingya Restaurant has specially opened a wall for the scholars and students who come to leave their writing materials.
Because Su Changan said, "When all the writings in the world gather together, it can be called literature."
Therefore, Su Zifeng immediately did such a thing.
And no matter how high or low, no matter what your status is, once you write it, it will be posted.
It is also because of this that many people come to Qingya Restaurant.
After all, this is the reason why many scholars can be successfully associated with the Empress's literary talent.
Although there are still some people who feel ashamed of themselves and dare not leave behind any written records, there are still many people who are willing to do so.
such as
This princess, Her Royal Highness.
Moreover, the calligraphy left by this princess is indeed indescribable, and many students even feel that it can be compared with that of the Queen.
However, it was rejected by many people, simply because the writings left by the princess were only "strange" and far inferior to the poems of the queen!
Everyone was arguing about it, but in the end not many people talked about it anymore.
but.
Many people were interested in the sentence left by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and they all followed suit.
……
On this day, there were still many scholars gathered in the Qingya restaurant.
Most of them are this year's high school Jinshi, because a few days ago, the official appointment notice was issued, and many people will go to other places to serve as county magistrates or county magistrates.
Therefore, today's Qingya Restaurant has a more atmosphere of separation and sadness.
One of the tables.
Yan Shu, Liu Xuan, Liu Sanbai, Li Ziyu, Wei Zijian, Zuo Shaoweng, Li Wei, and Wei Anming.
Several people were sitting at a table.
At this table, only Yan Shu and Zuo Shaoweng stayed in the capital, while the others all had to go out of town.
The mood at the table was low.
Li Wei looked left and right, and couldn't help but said, "When are we going to eat? I'm hungry."
Hearing this, the people at the table looked at Li Wei, feeling helpless.
Li Wei frowned and said, "It's not like we won't see each other anymore. We'll meet again in the capital someday. You make it seem like we're all going to die. It's so uncomfortable. Look at how Gu Chiyu said goodbye to her classmates, drinking and chatting happily. She was so happy. But we made it look like grown men were about to cry."
Liu Xuan looked at Li Wei and smiled, then said: "That being said, after this separation, I don't know when we will meet again. For example, the three of us, An Ming, Zi Jian and I, are going to Japan. You are going to Liuzhou, San Bai is going to Yuzhou, Zi Yu."
Speaking of Li Ziyu, Liu Xuan frowned.
Chapter 249 What reason will my sister find to refuse to see me today?
And it was not just Liu Xuan, everyone else at the table also looked at Li Ziyu. Even Li Wei, who was the most optimistic by nature, thought for a while and said, "Actually, I can ask my father for help. My father admires Ziyu very much. If he..."
When Li Wei said this, Li Ziyu stood up and interrupted him with a smile, and bowed to Li Wei: "Brother Li, you told me about this, but I refused. Today, I, Li Ziyu, will refuse your kindness again. Although I am not as talented as you, the Queen once said that everyone has things to do at the moment. Ziyu is not talented, but I think what the Queen said makes sense. When you are alive, you should fulfill your responsibilities every day."
"I am originally from Shuchuan. Now, due to my favor and reputation, I happened to pass the imperial examination. I feel that I should do something. Now that I have been appointed as an official in Shu, I naturally cannot refuse. Moreover, I am not the only one. People who have been granted official positions in the same exam are scattered all over Daxia. I, Li Ziyu, just happened to be assigned to Shu. Why can't I go? A gentleman is open and honest. I have no regrets. I am just going to Shu. I have always wanted to be an official. Now that I have been granted an official position, how can I not do it? Moreover, I am going to be the magistrate of a county. I can do something for the local people and realize my ambitions. Shouldn't you be happy for me?"
At the end, Li Ziyu was particularly open-minded and cheerful, and even picked up the wine cup to drink together.
When everyone saw this, they also picked up their wine glasses.
but.
Everyone looked at Li Ziyu, and everyone had a worried look on their face.
Shu is the territory of the King of Shu. Even in the time of the previous emperor, there was a tendency in Shu to obey orders but not announcements. Today, the idea that the King of Shu might rebel is something that many students would quietly mention from time to time.
Many officials who went there in recent years either returned to Beijing in disgrace or died suddenly. It was extremely dangerous!
As a result, many officials would often shy away when they heard about Shu, and were unwilling to go there no matter how much the cost.
"That being said, but..." Wei Zijian looked at Li Ziyu, but when the words came to his lips, he sighed.
Liu Sanbai also frowned and said, "Not all the people in Shu have gone back. Aren't An Zhang and the others not going?"
Li Ziyu smiled slightly: "That's my hometown, it's like a place where wolves, tigers and leopards gather. Everyone knows that I, Li Ziyu, am in a bad mood, but now I am more open-minded than you. Moreover, I return to my hometown to be a parent official. To some extent, it is better than you, Sanbai, who can't go back to your hometown. And I don't have to travel across the ocean like Liu Xuan, An Ming and you guys."
Zuo Shaoweng looked at Li Ziyu, smiled and said, "Ziyu, let me toast you."
it is more than words.
Zuo Shaoweng speaks very little when dealing with people and things, because he sees things most clearly.
Li Ziyu had already made up his mind to leave, and Zuo Shaoweng knew there was no need to persuade him any further.
Li Ziyu smiled brightly.
But right now.
"When I went upstairs, I heard you all talking about how dangerous Shu was. Did you guys misunderstand something?"
When Yan Shu and others heard this, they were all stunned and looked towards the stairs beside them.
I saw that the person coming up was a woman, but she was wearing a black and red men's suit and had a bun on her hair. She was dressed like a man, but her face was like a white fox, very charming and beautiful.
He was accompanied by two followers, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and frivolous, with a knife hanging from his waist. He was a swordsman.
There is a scar on the woman's face. Although it cannot be said to be ugly, it cannot be called beautiful either.
When Yan Shu saw the leading woman, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Yan Shu, then turned their eyes to the beautiful woman.
Your Highness
There is only one princess in the capital city now, and that is Xia Tingyu, the daughter of King Shu.
In addition, the woman's appearance was exactly the same as the one in the rumors, so it was natural to immediately understand the identity of the visitor.
Immediately!
Zuo Shaoweng and others all bowed and saluted towards Xia Tingyu.
The people at the nearby tables naturally heard what Yan Shu and others called the newcomer. After being startled, they immediately bowed to Xia Tingyu.
Xia Tingyu was very casual. After gently waving her hand, she smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite."
After saying that, he glanced at Yan Shu, then at Li Ziyu: "Mi Wanjun's nephew?"
Li Ziyu looked at Xia Tingyu, bowed calmly and said, "Yes."
Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "It's okay. Mi Wanjun only scolded you when he mentioned you. I don't know why he was angry. I heard about what happened between you two. I think he should thank you. When it comes to you, you generously admitted it. The difference is obvious. Just for this, I will scold you back later."
Xia Tingyu walked to the table, glanced at Yan Shu and the others with her fox eyes, and asked, "Shall we share a table?"
When everyone heard this, no one dared to disagree and naturally took a step back.
Xia Tingyu was not polite. After she sat down, the woman with the scar on her face immediately handed the chopsticks to her. Then, after seeing Xia Tingyu take a bite of the dish, she said, "I remember you were going to be the magistrate of a county in Nanshan County?"
Li Ziyu nodded: "Yes."
Xia Tingyu nodded: "It's a bit remote there, and it's bordered by foreign tribes, but it's okay. My father has had good talks with the barbarians in the mountains over the years, so there's no need to worry about being invaded by foreign tribes. Apart from that, there's nothing else. How can you say that about our Shu country and still want to stop Li Ziyu from going back?"
Li Ziyu said: "Your Highness has misunderstood. You are trying to dissuade me because you are reluctant to leave. After all, I am going there alone, and the journey is long. My classmates and friends are reluctant to let me go."
Xia Tingyu nodded: "The friendship between classmates, I understand!"
But after saying that, Xia Tingyu seemed to be indifferent to the matter. He turned his head to look at some of the verses below the poem he wrote hanging on the wall. Although those sentences were neat, they were not the best after all. So Xia Tingyu said, "I happened to pass by here today and remembered the poem I left here before. It was said that many people took up the next sentence, so I came up to take a look."
At this point, Xia Tingyu looked at Yan Shu and said, "Why don't you add a stroke, Mr. Zhuangyuan? Do you think my writing is not good enough?"
As she said this, Xia Tingyu's foxy eyes blinked a few times. Although there was no other expression, she seemed to be born with a charming figure. Just like that, she exuded a kind of charm.
Yan Shu took a step back and bowed, "Your Highness, I am not very talented and learned. I came here today because I saw your poem, 'Idle as busy, butterflies fly over the pink wall in pairs. Busy as idle, egrets stand on the beach when hungry.' I just thought it was strange and had a deep meaning. I have been thinking about it with my friends for a long time, but I really can't think of a short song that can be matched, so please forgive me, Your Highness."
Xia Tingyu smiled slightly when he heard this.
Yan Shu's words sounded simple, but in fact they had helped Zuo Shaoweng and others to get away with it, because he and his friends had thought about that sentence for a long time.
And
He praised Xia Tingyu calmly.
just
Even if Xia Tingyu heard it, she ignored it. After all, she didn't think of doing anything to others, but targeting you, Yan Shu, so she continued: "When I saw you in the Imperial College before, I felt that you were too modest. You are obviously very talented, but you don't show off. What I said is just an ordinary drinking game. How can you, the No. 1 scholar, not respond? Or are you going to reject me again?"
At the end, there was a hint of pathetic tone in Xia Tingyu's words.
Hearing this, Zuo Shaoweng and others looked at Xia Tingyu. Everyone could tell that Xia Tingyu was forcing Yan Shu.
About the matter between Yan Shu and this princess.
In fact, everyone has heard of it.
It is said that a few days ago, when the princess visited the Imperial College, she met Yan Shu because Yan Shu was helping Xun Kuang to dry books.
Unexpectedly, this princess who had been wandering around the capital and doing whatever she wanted, expressed her desire for Yan Shu to be her aide the moment she saw him.
And Yan Shu naturally refused.
This made Her Royal Highness the Princess very embarrassed.
This is obviously done intentionally.
However, Yan Shu looked at Xia Tingyu. He had heard from Xun Kuang and Mu Xu about this princess.
Xun Kuang said, "She's very pretty, but if you see her, run away. If you can't run away, don't let her get entangled with you."
Mu Xu didn't say anything, he just looked at him and said, "Shu, just run away when you see me. I'm tired of talking to that kid."
Present
Yan Shu was helpless for a moment, and he also understood what his two teachers meant. But looking at Xia Tingyu, Yan Shu thought for a while and said: "Movement is like stillness, the vast blue lake is like a clear mirror. Stillness is like movement, the shadow of the long bridge follows the wine flag."
