dream of red mansion

Chapter 160
"My lord, I heard that Jia Jialin was a gifted poet, and he was well-known, and was even appreciated by the Holy One. Since I met you today, why don't you invite him to congratulate you with a poem, firstly to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and secondly, to open my eyes. ?”

It was the voice of a middle-aged man.To be able to sit here, the status should not be low.

On the first table on the left, the fifty-year-old Prince Teng frowned when he heard this.

At this time, I suddenly asked someone to write a poem, and it was fine if I did it well.If it's not done well, wouldn't it disappoint the Queen Mother?On such a happy day like today, Wang Ziteng didn't want to make the Queen Mother feel unhappy.

But since people have spoken, no matter how hard they try, the scene still needs to be maintained.Fortunately, he also knew some of Jia Qing's deeds, thinking about asking Jia Qing to write poems, even if he didn't do well, it shouldn't make the Queen Mother unhappy.

So he said to Jia Qing: "I have heard about my nephew's talent and name. I wonder if my nephew would like to try it?"

Jia Qing naturally knew Wang Ziteng, but he had never communicated with him, but he knew from his senses that Wang Ziteng was a capable person.

"I've met my cousin. Since I got two more red envelopes today, I can only present a congratulatory poem to make up for it."

Wang Ziteng smiled slightly, didn't say much, and indicated with his eyes that Jia Qing could start writing poems.

Jia Qing was not busy, but turned his head to look at the kind Queen Mother again, not only that, two seconds later, he even lightly circled around in a small half-circle to look disrespectfully.

The crowd waited attentively, and after three breaths, they heard Jia Qing's first sentence:
"This lady is not human"

When everyone heard it, some didn't believe their ears.In a blink of an eye, he looked at his colleagues around him and saw that they had a hellish expression, so he believed what he heard.

Then, each expression was inexplicable.

Isn't this guy here to kick the gym?

Even the Queen Mother, who had been smiling all the time, frowned.

Only Wang Ziteng had no expression on his face.Looking at it, Jia Qing once again had a high opinion of him, without pausing, read the next sentence:
"Nine-day fairy descends to the mortal world"

call

I don't know how many people exhaled secretly, and the atmosphere warmed up.

The queen mother also laughed, this flattery was too much, but it also made people laugh from the heart.

"Born a son to be a thief"

Unexpectedly, Jia Qing's next sentence made everyone's thoughts hang up just now.

Having a son to be a thief, isn't that scolding Wang Ziteng?

Playful eyes focused on Wang Ziteng, as if he was really a thief.

There were also people who were quick to change their minds, seeing Jia Qing repeating his old tricks, they all guessed that Jia Qing would turn around again, so instead of looking at Wang Ziteng, they looked curiously at the innocent looking Jia Qing.

Jia Qing didn't pretend to delay, and quickly revealed the answer:
"I stole a flat peach and offered it to my mother!"

At the same time, I don't know how many people said in their hearts: Great kindness.Although this doggerel is too straightforward, it is humorous and interesting. It is really ingenious to present such a poem on the Queen Mother's birthday.Just looking at the uncontrollable smile on the Queen Mother's face, you can tell how good the effect is.

"Okay, as expected of Jia Linlang!",

It was the person who asked Jia Qing to write a poem before. After Jia Qing finished reading, he first applauded and praised loudly.

It was hard for meng lang's actions not to attract Jia Qing's attention.

Jia Qing looked up and saw this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his eyes were powerful. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he didn't wear a crown like ordinary literati. Jia Qing guessed that he was a general.

Seeing Jia Qing looking over, he smiled gratifiedly at Jia Qing.

Relieved?Jia Qing secretly wondered, he had never seen this person before, why did he have such an expression?
However, there is no need to be suspicious of generals who understand poetry.There was no military examination in the imperial court, and all the generals in the army were either selected by the children of martial arts generals, or they were selected by the imperial examination, and then served as military officers.

Just like Wang Ziteng, he is an out-and-out literati, and now he is one of the few senior military officers in the world.

Waiting for the people in the hall to finish their comments, the Queen Mother said:

"I told your ancestors about you before, how well-behaved and sensible you are to deceive people. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it.

Although you use the two red envelopes I gave you to pay for this poem, I don't think it's enough!In this way, you don't have to rush out, and you will go inside with me later, and I will pick two more good things for you. "

She said that because Jia Qing is only 11 years old this year.If Jia Qing is an adult, even if she makes her happy, she will not bring him into the inner curtain, there are other family members in the house!
Jia Qing didn't refuse. Although he despised Jia Baoyu just now, he felt that it was a happy thing.

Ignoring those women, the girl in the boudoir of this era is a cute existence that makes you blush for a long time at a glance...

After thanking the Queen Mother, Jia Qing stood behind the Queen Mother and waited quietly for the people behind to come to pay their respects.He has taken up too much time.

"My lords, eat and drink well, but I'm sorry..."

When the people who came to pay their respects to the birthday were almost gone, and all the food and wine had been served, the Queen Mother stood up tremblingly and said.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall stood up.

Wang Ziteng said: "Cuixi, it's good to help the old lady in..."

"Yes."

Cuixi is the maid who helps the Queen Mother distribute red envelopes.

When the queen mother moved, it was similar to the movement of Jia's mother in Jia's mansion, and a large group of people followed.

"Brother, you follow too."

The queen mother took two steps, and Fang remembered that she invited someone to go in with her just now, so she turned her head and said.Seeing that Jia Qing was already following her, the old man smiled and turned his head to continue walking.

Pass through the back hall, pass through the Chaoshou verandah, and enter the back house of the palace in about a short while.Because there are almost no male servants in it.

A group of people surrounded the Queen Mother and entered a courtyard with a more grand layout, and were welcomed into a hall called Yixuan Hall by the maids and servants who came to welcome them.

Whether it is birthday or birthday celebrations, there are always a lot fewer concubines.Generally, only those who have a good relationship with the whole family will bring their relatives to visit.

But even so, Yixuan Hall was still overcrowded.In the hall, which is similar in layout to Jiamu's Rongqing Hall, all the screens in the middle have been removed, making the whole scene extremely spacious.

In addition, Yingyingyanyan filled the room... Well, most of the people sitting there were grown women and wives.But if you count the maids who shuttle back and forth, it can be called a garden full of beauties.

Seeing the Queen Mother entering the door, all the people who were sitting stood up, said hello and watched the Queen Mother and her party go to the innermost part.

But Jia Qing, although he didn't look around, so as not to be rude.But he suddenly found that since he entered the hall, there were no less than ten pairs of beautiful eyes watching him secretly.

He is beautiful in his heart!
That's right, the girls in the boudoirs who came with their elders from various mansions had already talked for a long time, drank tea for a long time, and everywhere they saw were women... Now that the Queen Mother suddenly brought a young son in, how could one not be curious?
If they saw a strange boy alone in private, they would naturally be shy and avoid him.But now a large group of them are standing, and Jia Qing is only alone, so they will look at Jia Qing quietly, and only lower their heads when Jia Qing looks over "inadvertently", and then, He quietly raised his head again...

In fact, not only is it a boudoir girl, but also orders from various governments and grandma are also looking at him. I don't know whose family he is, but he was brought here by the Queen Mother.

No, when the Queen Mother arrived at the main table, she just greeted a few "old friends" and called them to sit down, when one of the old ladies said: "Old birthday boy, who is this young man? Spirit!"

What?
For the first time in so many years, Jia Qing was described as being energetic!

Looking up, there are a total of seven old ladies including the Queen Mother on the main table, and each of them looks no less than 60 years old.They are all brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, dressed in extraordinary ways.One of them is Jia Mu.

The person who spoke was an old lady who was sitting next to Jia Mu, who seemed to be older than the Queen Mother, but what she said made people so... energetic!
The Queen Mother said: "He is the boy prodigy from Meimei Shi's family as we mentioned earlier."

All the old ladies looked at Jiamu together when they heard the words, and seeing Jiamu smiling and nodding, they looked at Jia Qing again.

"It looks good..."

"It looks really handsome!"

……

Jia Qingxin said, this is a normal reaction.Spirit, your old man needs to grow spirit!

"Come on, bro, sit down next to your ancestor."

When the Queen Mother saw her sisters, she said what she should see and what she should say.Jia Qing was brought in by her, and she didn't want him to stand all the time, so she pointed to an empty seat next to Jia's mother.

It's just that Jia Qing can't sit here.Don't they dare to sit here without seeing Mrs. Wang?Every old lady here is an ancestor-level figure in each mansion, and it is a bit too ostentatious for him to sit here as a junior.

"Madam Xie loves you, but you can't afford to be a kid, so just stand there!"

Jia Qing politely declined.The Queen Mother didn't want Jia Qing to sit with them, but she didn't force her anymore, but looked up at the scene, and then said:
"Since you don't want to sit here, that's fine. It's just that I brought you in, but I can't make you stand all the time, otherwise you might scold me in your heart!"

Jia Qing didn't even dare.Jia's mother also said: "He is a family of children, so it's better to stop more."

The Queen Mother said: "No, no... In this way, there is still a seat next to Miaoyin, Cuixi, take my brother to sit there."

Turning around, she said to Jia's mother, "Miaoyin is my little granddaughter, she is as old as your elder brother."

The meaning of this sentence is worth aftertaste, Jia Mu also smiled and said: "Okay, that will be more harmonious."

Mother Jia said to Jia Qing who hadn't moved yet: "Brother Qing, be more polite. I won't forgive you for offending your sister!"

Jia Qing was a little speechless, you guys are trying to set the pace for me to be a baby kiss... said in his mouth: "I know the old ancestor." Turning around, he said to the Queen Mother: "Thank you, Madam, for your appreciation." Finally, he turned to the whole family The person at the table said: "Retire, kid..."

After speaking, under the guidance of Cuixi, he went to the table on the left.The voice of the old lady at the beginning came to my ears: "Your brother is too polite, not like a child, but like an old pedant..."

"Where, brother Qing just learned to be polite from a young age..."

This is Jia Mu's voice.
