Chapter 303 The First Collision ([-])

On August 45th in the [-]th year of Kangxi, the Mid-Autumn Festival has come, and the huge imperial city is filled with lights and festoons, filled with a festive atmosphere. After entering the palace, in the small square in front of the Wenhua Palace, groups of courtiers can be seen laughing and talking everywhere. As for the top ministers from the first rank and above, they gathered in the main hall, and they were also chatting and laughing endlessly. It was harmonious, but Hong Qing was a weary cat in the corner, letting the old fifteen brothers chatter away, but her mind had already gone to nowhere.

Nothing else, tired, entangled in all kinds of affairs of the Ministry of Industry, Hongqing has not had a good rest for several months, a rare day of rest, but was dragged into the palace by the third master early, helping the officials of the Ministry of Rites to prepare I have been busy with all the matters of the night banquet tonight. At this moment, I am really sleepy and tired. I just want to find a place so that I can have a good sleep. How can I care about other people? Talking about something.

"Hey, Brother Qing, look quickly, why did the fourth child bring his second child?"

Just when Hong Qing was drowsy, she suddenly heard the old sixteen exclaimed from the side, Hong Qing's spirit trembled involuntarily, she looked up and saw the fourth master leading Hongli Walk slowly into the hall.

Hmm, what is fourth master trying to do?Could it be...

Although there is not much difference in age, Hongqing and Hongli don't have much contact with each other. After all these years, they only meet each other during the New Year and Qingming ancestor worship ceremonies without saying a word After a few words, after all, the status and status of the two are quite different, but Hong Qing never dared to underestimate this "Emperor Qianlong". The fourth master actually brought Hongli here, and Hong Qing immediately murmured in her heart, her mind turned quickly, and she had vaguely guessed the intention of the fourth master's move, and her face couldn't help but look a little wonderful stand up.

"Hey, there's nothing to guess. Hey, I heard that the second boy of the fourth family can write good poems. Didn't Huang Ama say that he wants to compare poems with words? Isn't this a treasure offering?"

Although Hong Qing had guessed the root cause, she didn't say much, but the old fifteen was quick to speak, and revealed the intentions of Fourth Master with a look of disdain on his face.

"Bao's presenting treasures, according to my father, showing ugliness is about the same. As for him, well, compared with our brother Qing, it is far behind. There is nothing to offer."

The old sixteen was a bastard who was not afraid of anything all day long, and he only admired Hong Qing in his life, so he was very unhappy with Fourth Master's move, so he bluffed without restraint.

"Uncle Sixteen speak carefully."

Although she had a lot of jealousy towards the fourth master and his son, Hong Qing was unwilling to talk about people's faults behind their backs. Hearing that the old sixteen's words were getting more and more outrageous, she had to raise a point aloud.

"Well, it's okay if you don't talk about it, hey, brother Qing, I'll have to watch you later, don't let the fourth son really get complacent."

Now that Hong Qing had opened his mouth, Old Sixteen dared not speak any more nonsense, but when the topic changed, he encouraged Hong Qing.

"Ah."

Hong Qing let out a noncommittal expression, but her eyes fell on Hong Li who was meeting with everyone from all walks of life. Although her face was calm as usual, her heart was full of ups and downs. There was nothing else, Fourth Master chose this moment The launch of Hongli only means one thing, that is, the fourth master has already seen through the old man's intention to change the prince, and this is for Hongli to come out to disrupt the situation. Obviously, this move is not something that the fourth master can think of with such a little IQ , there is no doubt that there must be a master behind it.

Who is the one?Dido?Although that guy said he was capable, he obviously didn't have such ability, could it be Wu Sidao?It's possible, very likely!
Thinking that the person standing behind Fourth Master might be Wu Sidao whom she had not seen for a long time, Hong Qing's heart twitched involuntarily, and her eyes sharpened instantly.

"My nephew met Uncle Fifteen, Uncle Sixteen, and Qing Baylor."

Perhaps because of the induction, Hong Qing's eyes froze just now, and Hong Li had already noticed it, but seeing his surprised sideways face towards the corner of the hall, he saw Hong Qing and the three of them gathered in one place, and his eyes immediately It was Yi Ning, who immediately turned around and asked Fourth Master for instructions, then walked slowly to Hong Qing and the others, and bowed respectfully.

"Ha, no, no."

Old Sixteen had a thick skin, even though he had just criticized Hongli before, but when he turned his head, he smiled very happily, waved his hands carelessly, and greeted him affectionately.

"Brother Li, you're being polite. I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been?"

Old Fifteen was not very talkative, and because he was not familiar with Hongli, he just nodded with a smile when he greeted him, which was regarded as a greeting. Li, greeted with a smile.

"I'm sorry, elder brother, my younger brother has always been fine."

Hongli has always been chasing after Hongqing, and today he came here to participate in the banquet, but he was determined to overwhelm Hongqing, but Hongli's city is deep, and there is no words He even revealed that he was just entertaining politely, with the demeanor of a modest gentleman.

"That's good. As a brother, I've heard for a long time that the younger brother is very talented. Today's literary comparison depends on the hard work of the younger brother. I hope that the younger brother will not lose the high hopes of my fourth uncle and Mr. Wu."

Looking at Hongli's confident and calm face, Hongqing suddenly thought of teasing him, so she put on the posture of a big brother and comforted him gently.

"Brother was joking, with your gems in front of me, how dare I be proud of myself."

Hearing that Hongqing had revealed her intentions in coming here, Hongli's heart trembled involuntarily, and he quickly lowered his head to cover up, and said with a little panic and humility.

It really was Wu Sidao, damn it!
Hong Qing acted like this, originally for the purpose of spying on the truth, seeing Hongli's performance, how could she not see something strange, the last trace of uncertainty in her heart dissipated, and she cursed secretly, she still has to do it again After stimulating Hongli, he saw that the third master had led a dozen or so young eunuchs out of the back hall, so he stopped talking and turned his gaze to the third master.

"My lords, Huang Ama has an oral order."

The third master and his party entered the main hall, and everyone had actually stopped chatting, but the third master still made an announcement on airs. on the ground.

"Huang Ama's oral order: This article is divided into two parts: the clan and the courtiers. All the texts are covered. Choose the best three and hand them over to Yulan, and Huang Ama also has a banner for the competition, hang it at will, don't speculate, respect it."

The third master obviously enjoyed the feeling of kneeling all over the hall, and after obviously procrastinating for a while, he proclaimed the old man's oral order in a dragging tone.

"Thank you, Lord Long, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the oral order is announced, according to the court regulations, it is necessary to shout long live three times. This is the meaning in the title, but there is nothing to say.

"My lords, this king has already prepared the papers and pens and ink outside the palace. If there are any contestants who want to participate, please invite them all."

After everyone had finished their salutes, the third master waved his hand gracefully and said please.

"Third Master, please first."

"Third brother, you come first!"

……

The third master is known for his literary reputation, and he is the most talented among the elder brothers. Even if he is placed in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty, he can be regarded as a master. In addition, his status is respected. If he does not go first, others will not be able to move. , so they could only humbly ask the third master to take a step ahead.

"Forget it, then please forgive me, Meng Lang, let's come together."

For everyone's courteous treatment, the third master was very useful, but he was not in a hurry to leave, but after pretending to be modest for a while, he made a look of not being able to shirk, waved his hand neatly, and walked out of the hall After seeing this, a group of high-ranking ministers saw that they didn't want to lag behind, so they all rushed out of the Wenhua Palace in disorder, only Hong Qing and a few other young ones stood still.

"Good calligraphy, good poetry, good, the third master is worthy of being a giant in today's literary world, good!"

"Pretty!"

"I didn't say it, this word is perfect!"

……

At this time when the left and the right are surrounded, the third master is full of pride in his heart, and his original ability has been brought into full play. When he swipes the pen, the pen is like a dragon and a snake, and the ink is splashed endlessly. The quatrains were already on the paper, and immediately aroused the unanimous praise of all the courtiers.

"My lords are laughing at me. Xiao Wang is just throwing bricks to attract people's attention. He's showing his ugliness. He's showing his ugliness. Please feel free, gentlemen. Xiao Wang still has to preside over the venue, so I won't do more to accompany you."

Being praised so much by everyone, even the third master can be regarded as a man of the city, but he can't help but feel a little flustered. Fortunately, he is still vigilant in his heart, and he hasn't forgotten the business, but seeing him make a group salute in a chic way. , Confessed a scene, and then went far away amidst the voices of everyone seeing each other off, while the rest of the ministers and workers kept giving in to each other, there were always many people who were confident in their own calligraphy, and walked forward in a row. Several copies of the paper were written quickly with a brush.

"Uncle Fifteen, Uncle Sixteen, Brother Qing, all the ministers and workers outside should have stopped, so why don't I go and have a look?"

The main hall has long since been empty, but Hong Qing is not in a hurry to leave the hall, so she just keeps talking nonsense with Hongli. Yi Yi caught a loophole, hurriedly interrupted, and proposed to invite Hong Qing to participate in the competition.

"Brother's name is ugly, just hide your clumsiness, brother Li can go on his own."

Hongqing has long seen through Hongli's intentions of coming close to her and lingering, she just intends to overwhelm her in public, although she has no fear in her heart, but she doesn't intend to do it so easily I mean, so I humbly said with a smile.

"Brother is too modest. The so-called competition is just for entertainment, so why not join in the fun? Two uncles, brother Qing, please!"

Hongli was determined to overwhelm Hongqing, since he refused to let Hongqing escape like this, so he turned his body and gave way graciously, assuming a posture of forcing invitations.

　Ask for help, ask for help, the monthly pass is urgent, and will be killed, I implore the brothers who still have the monthly pass to support me, Lao Feng hereby please!
