Literati Sanctification

Chapter 124 Hong Ning Meng

The minister of the Ministry of Industry returned home with an inexplicable expression on his face, and saw his wife happened to be in the courtyard, so he asked, "Where's Meng'er?"

"In the boudoir, what's the matter, master, can I find Ningmeng?"

Seeing her master questioning her, Wu asked in a strange manner. Her master had just retreated from court. According to past experience, he would not come directly to Hong Ningmeng. It seems that there is something wrong with the current situation. generally.

"It's okay, you haven't eaten yet, ask Ning Meng to come over for dinner."

After Hong Yuanhua heard the words, he smiled slightly, and gave orders. After hearing the words, Mrs. Wu nodded lightly, then turned around and went to Hong Ningmeng's boudoir to call her out.

Those who go up early are very early, so the wife and others at home are waiting for Hong Yuanhua to come back for dinner. In the boudoir, Hong Ningmeng has already woken up and is still embroidering. After hearing her mother's call, Just left the boudoir.

In the lobby, seeing his daughter approaching gracefully with lotus steps, Hong Yuanhua also had a flash of relief in his eyes, and then said.

"One thing happened in the hall today."

Hearing this, Hong Ningmeng stared at her father strangely with her beautiful eyes wide open. He would never tell them at home about the affairs of the court, and they would never bother.

But right now, her father is talking about the court affairs in person. This is the first time, which makes her a little strange. Not only her, but also Wu Shi, who is on the side, is also a little strange. What kind of medicine does my son sell?

"The emperor canonized Heng Xiulin as Doctor Zijin."

Hong Yuanhua stroked his beard, then smiled and said, after he finished speaking, he looked at his daughter, as long ago, after seeing Heng Xiulin's poems, his daughter seemed to be She was fascinated by it, and later came the poems such as peach blossom poems, which made her very curious about Heng Xiulin, who had never met before, and seemed to be obsessed with him.

He saw all this, so he often went in and out of the palace, and asked Jiang Huang about Heng Xiulin. Now Jiang Huang suddenly canonized Heng Xiulin as Doctor Zijin. Xiu Lin has already entered the imperial city.

"Doctor Zijin, this is the title of the head of literati!"

Hong Ningmeng didn't realize anything at the moment, but when she heard what her father said, she opened her mouth slightly, and then looked at her father with some surprise. out?
"Yes, that man's name is Heng Xiulin."

Seeing that his daughter hadn't come to her senses, Hong Yuanhua said to her quite meaningfully.

"Heng, Heng Xiulin?"

Hong Ningmeng didn't know what her father was talking about at first, but when she woke up, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she was pinching the corner of her clothes, a little at a loss.

"Heng Xiulin, but is that the one who wrote the poem about happy rain on a spring night and peach blossoms?"

Wu Shi also stared wide-eyed at this time, and asked in surprise, her daughter seemed to have admired this person for a long time, so she naturally remembered this person, and now she heard her master say that, she immediately thought of him.

"Of course it's him. Thinking about it, he should have arrived in the imperial city. A few months ago, the emperor intentionally came to him to enter the imperial city. Now counting the time, it's time to arrive."

Hong Yuanhua nodded, and then responded. He was also a little curious about this literati. He was able to write such poems. His literary talent was extremely extraordinary, but he didn't know where he lived. Otherwise, he could invite him Let's talk at the door, um, by the way let my daughter have a look.

"Father has seen that man?"

Hong Ningmeng looked at her toes a little shyly, and then asked softly, since the happy rain on that spring night, she has remembered this person, and being in the place of the peach blossom poem made her even more concerned about Heng Xiulin. Admiration, now hearing that Heng Xiulin has come to the imperial city, I feel shy in my heart, but faintly, I look forward to it even more.

"Hey, the emperor directly canonized Heng Xiulin today, but I have never seen this person before, but I think the emperor has already seen it. Tomorrow, my father will go to inquire about it, and then come to the door in person call."

Hearing his daughter's question, Hong Yuanhua smiled similarly to Wu Shi, and then laughed loudly. It's not that he didn't want to ask the emperor about the whereabouts of Heng Xiulin today, he really couldn't ask.

Now that the emperor has just appointed an official who does not belong to the two factions, you can't wait to inquire about it, and then try to win him over, what is this?I'm afraid that after seeing the emperor, the emperor will not give them a good face.

Although he didn't mean that, but who knows if the emperor will think so, what the emperor thinks is the most important thing.

However, with the previous foreshadowing, he asked the emperor Heng Xiulin a lot of times. He thought that after tomorrow, if he asked Jiang Huang, Jiang Huang would not have any opinions.

"My daughter has something to do, so I won't eat."

Hearing Hong Yuanhua's profound words, Hong Ningmeng's cheeks flushed with shame, and after leaving a hasty sentence, she turned and ran away.

Seeing this, Hongyuanhua immediately burst out laughing. Although he has never met Heng Xiulin, Hongyuanhua has a very good impression of Heng Xiulin. You must know that a talented person who can write those poems is already a talent Remarkable.

Moreover, there is also Doctor Ziguang, who was conferred by the emperor himself. He wanted to marry his daughter to Heng Xiulin not because of this title, but because of the emperor's approval of Heng Xiulin. Presumably the emperor is extremely satisfied with Heng Xiulin.

Even the emperor is very satisfied with Heng Xiulin, what can he say?It can already be said that the emperor is a person who has passed the test.

Hong Ningmeng hurried back to the boudoir, thinking about what her father said just now, her heart beat continuously. Although she was already fond of that person, she had never felt so uneasy.

Hong Ningmeng slightly removed the things on the table, and then revealed the poems below.

"Plant peach trees every year, and bloom when the heart is broken."

"Last year, the spring hate came late, the flowers fell and the people were independent, and the swifts flew together."

"Acacia is said on the strings of the pipa. At that time, the bright moon was there, and it once returned home according to the colorful clouds."

The table was full of poems written by Heng Xiulin, all of which were collected by her and placed here, and she would take out these poems from time to time to have a look.

That person must be an infatuated and very talented talent, Hong Ningmeng looked at the poems on the table, and suddenly thought of it with slightly red cheeks.

"Miss, why did you come back like this without eating any food?"

Hong Ningmeng's personal maid came to the boudoir with the dishes, looked at her little house and complained, after putting away the things in her hands, the maid walked to Hong Ningmeng's side, looked at the poems in front of her, All of a sudden, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Master Hengxiu Lin came to see Miss Hong Ningmeng!"

The servant girl sneaked up to her lady's side, and suddenly said loudly.

"Ah? Mr. Heng?"

Hong Ningmeng, who was startled by the maid's words, quickly covered her things, then turned around quickly, and saw the maid with a weird smile on her face, Hong Ningmeng didn't know that she was being tricked by this maid, At that moment, he stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek firmly.

"Ah, Miss, Miss, it hurts!"

The servant girl's cheek was pinched by Hong Ningmeng, and she cried out in pain again and again. In fact, Hong Ningmeng didn't exert much strength at all, but the maidservant did it on purpose.

"Hmph, you girl is really getting smaller and smaller."

Hong Ningmeng let go of her hand, looked at her maid angrily and said.

"Hee hee, Miss is very happy now, Mr. Heng has already come to this imperial city, I think Miss will be able to see him soon after coming here."

The servant girl looked at her young lady, and immediately said with a smile, her young lady has been obsessed with Heng Xiulin for a long time, she naturally knows it, and seeing her young lady like this now, she naturally made her young lady happy.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Listening to the maid's words, Hong Ningmeng immediately spat, but the blushing on her face betrayed her thoughts.

"Tell me, if Mr. Heng sees me, will he like me?"

Hong Ningmeng was thinking about what the Hengxiu Lin looked like, and suddenly thought of something, and then said with some worry, she also felt a little insecure about herself at the moment.

"Miss looks so good-looking, then Mr. Heng will definitely fall in love with her, and, with the master here, I think there will be no problem."

Hearing the words, the servant girl immediately assured her that her lady is not weaker than others, and she is also a top-ranked beauty in the imperial city. If that Heng Xiulin met her lady , Do not believe he is not tempted.

"That's good."

Hearing the consolation from her servant girl, Hong Ningmeng felt a little certain in her heart, and then said.

"However, miss, that young master has now been canonized as Doctor Zijin, and I'm afraid there will be more people eyeing Mr. Heng at that time. If you don't win Mr. Heng's heart earlier, I'm afraid someone will intervene at that time."

The servant girl has been in Hong Ningmeng for a long time, so she has some knowledge, and she is very clear about the status of Doctor Zijin, and she is very clear about the attraction of such an amazing talent to those talented women.

Looking at the scene at the Lantern Festival, one can know how those talented women surrounded talented men.

"Young Master Heng is amazingly talented, so he will naturally attract the hearts of countless talented women."

When Hong Ningmeng heard the words, she immediately smiled and said, she didn't feel a little uneasy because of her maid's words in her words, but she was extremely proud of Heng Xiulin for being able to do this.

The servant girl looked at her young lady helplessly. This is not a trivial matter. If it attracts other people's attention, the competition will naturally increase. Doesn't her own young lady even know about this?
Some didn't understand what her lady was thinking, and the maid was also a little helpless, so she simply stopped thinking about it, and on the other hand, because of the emperor's canonization, the whole imperial city was boiling because of it.
