Chapter 144 The Great Talent
Seeing Zuo Mingxin change her Gengtie post so hastily, Zuo Mingjing felt a little complicated.
I don’t know whether her future days will be happy or sad, sweet or bitter? But looking at her sister standing with a smile on her face, Zuo Mingjing thought to herself: At least no matter what, it is her own choice after all.
Qian Duoduo was thinking about this. She had always admired Zuo Mingxin the most, and she could only be happy for her at this time.
Her eyes secretly fell on Wang Xiao from time to time.
This masked robber who rushed into his house was actually possessed by a horse?
After that night, she was a little confused.
The servants in the mansion were silent, and outsiders said that the second brother had raped a civilian girl and was hacked to death by his father.
Qian Duoduo didn't understand what happened specifically, and was very curious...
Everyone congratulated Qin Xuance and Zuo Mingxin. But Wang Xiao and Qin Xiaozhu whispered a few words and walked into the kitchen with their sleeves rolled up.
Qin Xuance chuckled and asked, "Tiger, you actually want to cook by yourself?"
Qin Xiaozhu scolded: "It's not because of you that a thief kills a talented person? If I were asked to cook it, would you dare to eat it?"
Wang smiled and said, "It's good to let you have a taste of my craftsmanship."
Qin Xuance cupped his hands and said, "I am getting engaged today. You not only gave me the horse, but also cooked the food. I will keep this affection in my heart. Whenever I have an order from you in the future, my brother will not hesitate to do it."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"hey-hey……"
After a while, the smell of cooking came.
Qian Duoduo was curious, pretending to be casual, walked slowly for a few steps, and turned her head to look at the kitchen.
Her eyes glanced at Qin Xiaozhu who was doing the work, Zhuang Xiaoyun who was chopping firewood, and Geng Dang who was lighting the fire... Then she saw Wang Xiao standing in front of the stove, holding on to the spatula, looking a little focused.
She originally wanted to see what kind of person this robber was, but now she felt that he had some indescribable feeling.
In the kitchen, Wang Xiao and Qin Xiaozhu were talking quietly.
"I'm a family man..."
Qian Duoduo suddenly realized that the feeling could indeed be described by the word "home".
She was in a daze for a while, and suddenly found that Zuo Mingjing and Song Lan'er had also stood over at some point.
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but panic and was about to explain something.
But I heard Song Laner say: "It smells so good."
Zuo Mingjing smiled generously and said, "I didn't expect Fu Ma to be a good cook."
Wang Xiao responded: "I only know a little bit of cooking skills, braised pig's trotters, Huadiao wine is the soul."
Song Laner said: "There are not many men in the world who can cook."
"Why aren't there many?" Qin Xiaozhu said, "There are a lot of them in the restaurant."
Qin Xuance joked: "What Miss Song said is that there are not many people who can cook and are as good-looking as him..."
When Qian Duoduo heard their playful words, she felt more and more disgusted with herself as a concubine.
Everyone is generous and generous, but I feel like a thief.
After a while, Wang Xiao cooked the pot of braised pig's trotters and put it on the table.
He seemed to have been burned, holding his ears with both hands, looking very silly.
This robber was not fierce at all, and Zuo Duoduo was no longer afraid of him.
Qin Xuance said loudly: "Today, Ming Xin and I are engaged, so everything should be decided by the two of us. Let me set a rule first..."
"Today in this courtyard, no one is allowed to talk about status, and no formal etiquette is allowed! It's time to sit and drink. The so-called, it is rare for people to get together and rejoice, and let's pour a glass of wine and rejoice together."
Originally, Geng Dang and Zuo Xiaoyun were quite ashamed of their status and did not dare to sit across from these official ladies. The women on Zuo Mingjing's side also felt uncomfortable dining with men at the same table. At this time, after hearing Qin Xuance's rules, the four of them
The men and five women sat down on two sides.
Zuo Mingxin was quite satisfied with the atmosphere, so he joked: "It's a rare saying that 'it's rare for people to get together in this world to be happy', so I'll say it again, meeting by chance is the most enjoyable place in this world."
Song Lan'er said angrily: "You just sing and harmonize, so I should also say, today is a good banquet, and it is difficult to express the joy."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Qian Duoduo and said with a smile: "It's your turn, take the next sentence."
Qian Duoduo was a little panicked and said in a low voice: "Pleasure and pleasure happen at the same time all the time, but I don't care about it, just like falling flowers and catkins."
Song Lan'er heard her reciting a sad sentence like "falling flowers and flying catkins" again, so she begged her to change it.
Qian Duoduo stroked her hair around her ears and her face turned red.
Zuo Mingjing said with a smile: "Don't embarrass Duoduo, I'll just say a word for her. Let's try new tea with new fire, and make poetry and wine while we are young."
Song Laner suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I almost forgot, your favorite is Dongpo's Ci."
She turned her eyes to Wang Xiao and said to Zuo Mingjing: "Is there a reincarnation of Dongpo sitting here today? Don't you want to ask for advice?"
Who knows that Zuo Mingjing said: "If you ask for advice, ask for advice. Now that I have said that I will not be polite today, am I still afraid that you won't do it?"
Saying this, she turned to Wang and said with a smile: "In the presence of the reincarnated Po Immortal, this little girl is here to ask for advice."
Wang Xiao's face turned red and he became a little embarrassed.
He looked around and saw Zuo Mingjing with a faint smile on her face, which was very bright.
When I saw her for the first time, she had no expression on her face. She looked unhappy when she saw Zhishu answering the gift. Who would have thought that when she smiled, she would be as bright and clear as the clouds and the moon.
He couldn't help but secretly thought that the two Zuo sisters looked like Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in appearance, but their personalities were very different.
"Hey, sister is asking for advice from you." Qin Xuance poked the king and said, smiling.
Zuo Mingxin said angrily: "Bah, who is your sister?"
Qin Xuance looked at Geng Dang and Zhuang Xiaoyun, who looked confused, and said with a smile: "If this is not the case, if you write a lyric, you can read a poem for us."
Qin Xiaozhu said: "Yes, I can't read poems either, so you can do it for me."
Song Lan'er said: "He is the reincarnation of Po Immortal, but he wants to compose a song now."
Wang laughed and said, "But I can't compose lyrics."
Zuo Mingjing smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Fu Ma, it's because he dislikes us for being stupid, so he doesn't want to teach me."
Although her words were joking, there was quite a bit of expectation in her heart.
The Zuo family is a poet and calligrapher, and both Zuo Mingjing and his sisters are talented. Zuo Mingxin likes to read Ouyang Xiu, but Zuo Mingjing likes Dongpo's poetry the most.
Recently, two poems copied by Wang Xiao have been widely circulated, and Zuo Mingjing is very concerned about it. At this time, he had already thought of asking for advice in person. After all the hard work, there was no reason to let go.
Wang Xiao was a little flustered by her, and said: "You want new poems?"
When Zuo Mingjing saw him relenting, she nodded and said: "Poems are also OK, lyrics are also OK. Banquets are OK, poems and wine are OK..."
Song Laner said: "You can also write poems to praise our sisters."
"Bah, you are too talkative."
Song Laner chuckled: "It's rare to meet a great talent. Wouldn't it be a big loss if I didn't ask for two poems to praise myself?"
Wang Xiao was really embarrassed when several little girls looked at him so earnestly.
He is not a cultural person, so he memorized a few more famous poems because he had a beautiful Chinese teacher in the past.
At this time, not many people rose to the occasion.
After a while, he thought of a poem that could be used, so he had to read it:
