Chapter 17 Blind Date
Although Xu Ji's poems are not a masterpiece, they seem to be better than Xu Wenlai. Besides, the time limit for a stick of incense is quite extraordinary. In this way, the sisters nodded and praised each other, and were even more looking forward to the third young master's literary talent.
Xu Hao pretends to be in a state of hard thinking, but poetry cannot be produced. A lyrical prose essay can be used for one or two paragraphs, let alone what kind of classic quotes like if life is just like the first meeting, bend the bow and shoot the eagle, and Sanmao’s “turn around and leave in one second, forget in one lifetime.” These classic quotes will ensure that everyone will be furious on the outside and tender on the inside.
Hongye kept hinting at his brother Xu Hao, but unfortunately Xu Hao deliberately turned a blind eye. After a stick of incense burned out, he was ashamed to say that he could not do it.
Xiao and Xu Qinglian were immediately very disappointed and sighed helplessly. Liu and others laughed secretly, and Wang became more and more energetic.
However, the old lady asked in confusion: "Brother Hao also wrote a poem in the morning. Lao Xian thought it was good at that time, so she could replace poetry with poems."
"No, the time has come, I admit defeat." Xu Hao shook his head openly and refused.
"Then I won't force you." The old lady was not paying attention to him, and looked at the cabin next door with a meaningful look. "Tonight, you two brothers copied the poems and wrote an article with spring and handed them to me tomorrow morning."
Xu Wen complained secretly when he heard this, looking at his own sister Cui Tao with a pleasing look, then stood up and respectfully with Xu Ji. Xu Hao felt a little sorry for his mother and sister, and walked over apologetically and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
Xiao was extremely regretful and felt very disappointed in his face. He said with regret: "I will study hard for me in the future and I will punish you for three months."
"Yes." Xu Hao was mentally prepared and did not feel any surprises.
The official boat next door slowly rowed towards the distant capital. At this moment, the old lady stood at the bow of the boat and stopped to look into the distance. Her expression was very complicated, and she also had a hint of worry in her joy.
At night, Xu Hao sat in the study and buried his head in "working". Xu Qinglian and Xu Hongye came in outside. Hongye said angrily: "I have told you that I have been back many times. Why are you like a wood? Xu Wen was so angry that he was so angry because he had Cuitao helping cheat."
Hongye was sitting on the chair with anger, staring at Xu Hao fiercely. Xu Hao raised his head and stared at her.
"You said that the poem you gave was something that a man could do? What is the meaning of the Star Bridge in the sky? Today, the Ruizhu Palace is hidden in the guild. The fragrance of the parrot's spring branches is hidden deep, revealing the decoration of Xiaoxiang. If I said it in public, wouldn't the whole family be laughed to death? I said that I am a man in love with spring. Hey, I understand."
Hongye stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, laughed, and complained: "Now everyone is talking about the stupidest of your brothers, but you can read the whole poem word by word just by looking at me saying it once. It's so powerful, why can't you do it yourself?"
Xu Qinglian said embarrassedly: "I was nervous for a moment and wrote poems according to my past habits. It's mine."
"The brain is really good." Xu Hao was complacent. He admitted that this body had much better memory than before. Perhaps because the brain itself stored too little things, the data transmission was faster.
Xu Hao smiled and said, "I'm not sticking to it. It's really that the situation today is too strange. The old lady asked the three brothers to write poems for outsiders for no reason, and the title of the word "Chun" is also based on the theme. I think there is a risk here, so I just admit defeat and save trouble."
Hongye shouted, "Mom said that maybe the man from the Imperial College was sitting on the boat. Such a good opportunity was wasted, it's really true."
Xu Hao said disdainfully: "So what? It's not difficult to enter the Imperial College. At worst, I'll ask someone."
"No." Xu Qinglian shook her head and said, "What I care about is your reputation. You have to know that even if you enter the Imperial College, you have to participate in the imperial examination with thousands of students. How many people have wasted their lives for this? If you could impress several gentlemen with poetry today, such a reputation will make the future smooth, it will not be difficult to be recommended by the Imperial College in the future and become an official."
"There is still this?" Xu Hao was very surprised and then laughed: "Sister, you really praised me. How can I touch others? Why don't I ask me to buy a piece of tofu and hit me to death."
"Oh, what if you get a clever hand in a while, it's a pity." Xu Qinglian felt quite regretful.
"Stop." Xu Hao stood up and walked leisurely, saying as he walked: "You must have real talent and knowledge when writing poetry. I know the best of what I am. Even if you have learned a skillful hand for a while, or cheated secretly, you will be famous. When you go to the Imperial College, which is full of talents, you will still be embarrassed. This is not the right way."
Hongye shouted: "Brother, you can't be a little confident, you are so smart."
"The key to being self-aware. My IQ is only over one hundred, and there are more than two hundred and fifteen people." Xu Hao said angrily, raised his head and thought for a while, and smiled secretly: "Besides, what kind of gentleman is there in that boat, there is such a one or two."
"Miss? Are you talking about whose daughter is sitting on the boat?" Xu Qinglian thought for a while, suddenly realized, and murmured to herself, "No wonder she blocked the pearl curtain and saw outsiders, and used the word spring used by her daughter's family. I'm afraid you guessed it."
"Whose lady is so bored? Why don't she come out to meet her sisters in the house?" Hongye immediately raised a question.
Xu Qinglian realized that it was whiter, her face turned slightly red, and she covered her mouth in surprise and shook her head and sighed.
Xu Hao laughed and said, "Why are you embarrassed to meet? Even if you are all relatives, you will become a mother-in-law and husband soon. If you are you, would you be embarrassed to run out?"
"Ah!" Hongye opened her eyes wide and shouted incredibly: "God, it turns out that's the case, no wonder."
Xu Hao stood and walked to the door, glanced at the red line drawn for himself on the ground, curled his lips, and then chuckled with smugness: "It seems that my intuition is indeed very accurate. Today I have escaped a disaster. The old lady actually played a blind date quietly. Ha! It seems that my second brother is going to be the choice of the screen bird."
"What should I do with my elder brother? How can I get married first?" Hongye said with his little finger while counting, "The two sisters of the uncle's relatives in the mansion have been engaged. Jingxuan from the third uncle's family is eleven years old this year, and Jingzhu from the fourth uncle's family is eight years old. Who will it be?"
"If you love someone, it's enough to get married. By the way, could it be the princess of the King of Yan family? Aren't the old lady always thinking about climbing up to a royal relative?" Xu Hao asked.
Xu Qinglian said slowly: "The Yan Wang family does not have a daughter of the right age. Besides, the identity of the legitimate relative may be the other two aunts."
"It's enough to satisfy the old lady," Xu Hao smiled arrogantly.
Hongye said regretfully: "What a pity. My brother can become the princess and princess. Now they are cheap, and I'm so angry."
