Chapter 17 Peach Burning Jinjiang Embankment

Author: Sharkshou Zhazhao

"General Mingji? He's actually here too."

"When I first came here, I saw that General Ming personally drove here for Li Qianyin."

Zhao Ranxi, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yongding, clenched her fists upon hearing this and looked at Li Qianyin and Ming Ji who were walking towards them in disbelief.

"I'm afraid that Miss Zhao is interested in this little general."

Jiang Tianluo was dressed as a female envoy, with a carefree expression on her face as if she was watching a show, and she snickered into Li Qianyin's ear.

Not only that, this young and successful young general was also the dream girl of many young women in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

"Brother Mingji, Qianyin thanks brother Mingji for escorting me."

She changed her usual indifference and immediately turned around to smile sweetly at Ming Ji. Jiang Tianluo was stunned by the speed of her change of expression.

"You! You are really as shameless as everyone says! Brother Mingji and I have a childhood sweetheart relationship, how can it be your turn to call me brother!"

Zhao Ranxi's dignified appearance of a rich family was instantly broken, and she stamped her feet in anger.

"Sister Zhao, that's not what Qianyin meant." She looked aggrieved, and her voice was broken and heartbreaking, "If my sister doesn't like it, then Qianyin won't dare to scream."

"It doesn't matter," Ming Ji didn't know her trick, but he still held back his laughter and cooperated, "Miss Li can call her whatever she wants."

Seeing her sweetheart smiling like a spring breeze at a dead girl who was doing the same thing in front of her and doing another thing in the back, Zhao Ranxi instantly felt furious and grabbed Li Qianyin's wrist and pulled her to the main entrance of Broken Spring Garden.

"If you want to enter the garden, you need to face this couple - I want to see how many words your family can recognize if you are a soldier."

She pointed at the pair in the case aggressively.

"Bing Luzi? Is Miss Zhao scolding your father, or General Mingji?"

Hearing this, people around him began to cover their mouths and laugh.

Zhao Ranxi was so embarrassed that she just wanted to get back 10% quickly, but she didn't expect Li Qianyin to say something shocking again:

"Qianyin's literary talent is indeed not good. If she really can't get in, then forget it. I can't be sorry."

She shook her head, her words filled with regret.

"If Miss Li is wrong, she will ruin my king's interest."

Prince Li Congmin and Princess Li Yunyao came with a group of people. As everyone knelt down in great force, Li Qianyin heard the unfamiliar voice again after a month:

"Li Qianyin, there are distinguished guests coming to the banquet today. No matter how ugly you are today, I and the princess will not punish you. Get up and try."

At this point, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the couplet:

Smoke lock pond willow.

Li Qianyin was stunned.

She clearly remembered that she had met a Confucian scholar before she was reincarnated. The boy said that there was no match in the world that he could not match, so Li Qianyin chanted such an absolute sentence. The Confucian scholar was speechless after seeing it.

He said that he had no choice but to leave in anger.

This couplet has five characters in the upper part, each character is embedded with five characters as its radicals, and the artistic conception is ingenious.

It seems simple and right, but it is actually extremely difficult.

The princess wanted to make a fool of herself with such a quatrain, but she didn't expect that this pair of words would come from her mouth in a thousand twists and turns.

"Li Qianyin, if that doesn't work, just say five words at random - if you don't know the right words, you can always read them."

Zhao Ranxi finally found the opportunity to retort.

After coming back to her senses, Li Qianyin looked at the peach blossoms in the garden and said softly:

"Peach Burns Jinjiang Embankment."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

For a long time, I heard an old man coming from not far away, stroking his hands and praising:

"Okay, okay, I really didn't expect that among the younger generation in Dongdu today, there are people who are so talented and knowledgeable."

After saying that, he picked up a purple hair pen and wrote down these words in detail himself, and ordered them to be framed.

"Old Qin, I have admired you for so long. You are willing to condescend to come to the peach blossom banquet hosted by my little sister. It really makes this broken spring garden full of glory."

Li Congmin put away all his sharpness in front of this old man and became extremely humble.

This Qin Lao, Qin Houfu, was a famous scholar in the Five Dynasties and ten states.

The emperor Li Quan took great pains to invite this century-old scholar to Luoyang to give lectures. He also wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Pingzhou to surrender and submit to the Ye Dynasty as soon as possible.

Seeing the prince like this, even the silent princess Li Yunyao also saluted, and at the same time did not forget to step on Li Qianyin.

"Li Qianyin, why don't you show your courtesy quickly? It seems that I don't know the etiquette of my subjects."

"Hey," the old man directly stopped Li Qianyin from leaning over and helped her up firmly, "My little friend is well-educated and quick-witted. I wonder who's daughter you are?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ranxi gritted her teeth. She hired famous teachers from all over her family. How could she let this little orphan girl from a defeated general's family steal the spotlight?

"She is Li Qianyin, the daughter of the former General Zhaonan." Thinking of this, Zhao Ranxi interrupted Qin Houfu's greetings without hesitation, and acted like a lady, greeting her with a smile, "My little girl, Yongding Marquis Mansion Zhao

Ran Xi, why don't Mr. Qin come up with a pair to test me?"

The old man frowned without any trace, but didn't say anything. He just rummaged through the pile of prepared pairs.

"Mr. Qin, why don't you let me come up with a pair and ask Sister Zhao for advice?"

Li Qianyin smiled slyly.

"Oh? If little Qianyin is willing, that would be great."

Seeing that she was willing to write a few more sentences, Qin Houfu immediately took out a pen and paper and prepared to write for her.

She thought for a while and said casually:

"The class performs six lines, three lines of inner hexagrams and three lines of outer hexagrams."

Zhao Ranxi thought for a long time, only to feel that the eyes of everyone looking at her were like burning fire, and said angrily:

"Li Qianyin, don't try to embarrass me. I'm not a fortune teller, so how can I understand its meaning?"

Li Qianyin smiled and said, "The stick is eight feet long, four feet with you and four feet away from you - Miss Zhao, do you think there are any entertainers in Dongdu?"

After a burst of laughter, and after several twists and turns, everyone entered the garden one after another.

Only Miss Zhao stood outside, her face turning red and white.

Zhao Ranxi has always felt that she is superior to others, and she has a close relationship with Princess Li Yunyao. Naturally, there are many people who dislike her. After this incident, everyone is happy to see her laugh.

But she originally wanted to take this opportunity to see Li Qianyin make a fool of herself, but now she really looks like a sideshow.

Before entering the garden, even Li Yunyao, who was following the prince, glared at her when no one was paying attention, secretly dissatisfied.

Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice.

Zhao Ranxi hurriedly read the couplet again, just wanting to escape from the place of right and wrong.

After thinking for a moment, she whispered a few instructions in the ear of one of the female envoys. The female envoy took the order and left immediately.

"Back then, her father blocked my father's official career and was stepped on by my father. Today, Li Qianyin has humiliated me many times in front of everyone. She must be ruined!"
