Chapter 150
Yuan didn't want to pay attention to it with a cold face, but Princess Kerou and Chen Jiating, who saw Qi Xianger's face, looked a little bad, and the others didn't speak for help. The scene became a little cold for a while.
"Since there is a gift, Miss Qi also took it out for everyone to take a look. After seeing the gifts from the princess and Ms. Chen, we are also very curious about Miss Qi's gifts!" Lin Shuran suddenly spoke out and looked at Qi Xianger friendly.
Qi Xianger, who was standing there awkwardly, couldn't help but look in Lin Shuran's direction, with gratitude in her eyes, and then asked the maid who followed her to take out a scroll.
Qi Xianger approached Yuan with the scroll in both hands, and said with nervousness and timidity: "This is the word "Bao Fu" I wrote, I hope my wife will be blessed."
Yuan never gave Qi Xianger a good look. He just responded with a "hmm" and signaled the maid around him to accept the gift, but did not intend to open it in public for everyone to see.
Qi Xianger's eyes showed disappointment and reluctance. Since she helped her once, Lin Shuran didn't care about helping her again, so she smiled and looked at Yuan and said, "No one has ever seen the word "Miss Qi family". Don't you open it and see?"
When Lei Yingying saw Lin Shuran speak out, she understood and said, "Yes, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis, just open it and let us all see how the lady in the Duke of Qin's Mansion is good at calligraphy!"
Princess Qingyang smiled and said, "Madam Dingyuan Hou, let me see Miss Qi's words when you open it."
Yuan was a little unreasonable when she refused. She turned her face and smiled and said, "Then let's take a look together. Although Miss Qi is a concubine's daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she thought that she had studied books and learned calligraphy at home. It should not be too bad. Don't laugh at her then!"
Qi Rouer, who was sitting there, had a complicated expression on her face. I don’t know if she was gloating or was afraid of embarrassing her in public. In the past few years, her mother had not let the nanny teach Qi Xianger and other concubines carefully. It was already the greatest gift for them to allow these concubines and concubines to live the life of a young lady in the Qin Dynasty. It would be impossible to think about making a name for themselves to defeat the legitimate son and daughter.
As soon as the scroll was opened, everyone was shocked. They originally thought that the concubine of the Duke of Qin would either make a laugh or even if the handwriting was well written, it would not be too amazing. But at this time, the hundred words "Fu" on the scroll were flowing and every word was full of flowers. Without years of practice, you could not write such words.
Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying also looked at each other in surprise, and at the same time they both looked at the woman standing not far from Yuan's family, who lowered her head slightly again. One was so hidden and the other was amazing. It is rare for women in the boudoir to have such profound attainments in calligraphy.
Qi Rouer was so shocked that her chin was almost falling off. How could this be possible? She looked at her sister Qi Xianger with disbelief, and her eyes gathered like waves. This little bitch had deliberately hidden her shortcomings in the mansion for so many years, and could write such good words.
Yuan also looked at Qi Xianger sideways. It seemed that her idea was right. Qi Xianger was a very scheming woman, so she should not be underestimated.
Princess Rou and Chen Jiating had a sense of crisis at this moment. When Qi Xiang'er heard that the prince tried his best to marry her, she looked charming. From now on, the three of them lived in the same house, so they had to be careful.
"Ms. Qi is well written. I remember that the words written by Mrs. Xu are even more amazing. I wonder how they compare with Miss Qi?" Princess Qingyang turned her gaze to Lin Shuran again.
Lin Shuran didn't know what Princess Qingyang said meant, but she still said modestly: "Thank you for your praise, but I haven't spent time on chess, calligraphy and painting for many years. Now I forget to write with my pen and play the zither, and forget to tune with my music every day. Every day, I am a vulgar woman!"
"Look at what Mrs. Xu said, you are the daughter of the Grand Tutor of the dynasty and the niece of the Wen family. Even if you don't touch the pen for a few years, you can still write a wonderful painting. Take advantage of this opportunity today. I will order you to write a poem to me and give it to me, so you must not disobey!" Princess Qingyang's voice suddenly became majestic. Although there was still a smile on her face, Lin Shuran knew that she was not joking.
"Is the princess a bit forced?" Lei Yingying became a little dissatisfied, but Yang pulled her arm from the side. The princess is a royal family and has a higher rank than Lin Shuran. It is not too much to ask her to write a poem. Others may not be willing to write a poem to the princess.
"Madam Xu doesn't want to?" Princess Qingyang ignored Lei Yingying, but looked at Lin Shuran in a sharper tone, as if it was about to come.
Wen and Ming were also a little nervous. Who doesn’t know that Princess Qingyang has a bad temper? She may offend her for a while or a while. She may offend her from somewhere. Her means of revenge are also very vicious. If you can offend her, don’t offend her.
Lin Shuran also understood this. She smiled calmly and replied: "Thank you for the princess's words that are worthy of Shuran. If you don't write well, don't dislike the princess, then I'll be ugly!"
Facing Lin Shuran's awareness of the current affairs, Princess Qingyang's face turned from shade to sunny again. She smiled and nodded. Yuan immediately ordered someone to get a pen and put it in front of Lin Shuran.
After picking up the pen and dipping it ink, Lin Shuran thought for a moment and wrote a poem on the best rice paper. She wrote a sentence, and Lei Yingying followed her to read a sentence. The first sentence she read was: "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent."
Then Lin Shuran wrote, and she recited: "One look at the city, and then the country."
When Lin Shuran finished writing the last sentence, she immediately spoke: "It's better not to know the beauty of the city or the country, but it's hard to get a beautiful woman!"
"Why haven't I heard of this poem in this palace?" Princess Qingyang really likes the poem written by Lin Shuran. Any woman likes others to praise her, especially the words "beautiful" and "beautiful" greatly satisfy her vanity as a woman.
As soon as Lin Shuran finished writing, a maid came over to give the paper written by the poem to Princess Qingyang. She looked carefully again. Lin Shuran's calligraphy attainments were obviously higher than Qi Xiang'er. After all, she was from a scholarly family and had been taught by Lin Wen's family for many years. In terms of the momentum and background of this brushstroke, Qi Xiang'er and she were incomparable.
Lin Shuran said in her heart that she certainly had never seen her, because there was no poet who wrote this poem at all in this time and space. She also wanted to deal with her job temporarily, so she had to reply: "Your Highness, this is what I thought of writing temporarily. If I don't write it well, I will be very grateful."
"I think you wrote very well, so I accepted this poem. Come and go to the princess's house to get the pair of golden jade Ruyi. I want to give it to Mrs. Xu. This is my palace's reward, don't refuse!" Princess Qingyang folded the paper on which Lin Shuran wrote the poem and put it away, and ordered the maid to return to the house to get the reward for Lin Shuran.
