Copying poems and dating

Zuo Shaoyang looked carefully for a moment and said, "No wonder it's so expensive. After wearing this jade, it looks really good. It's not comparable to ordinary people... Reading website)"

"Is that true?" Bai Zhihan couldn't see it himself, but he could tell from Zuo Shaoyang's eyes that he really liked it, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

The two continued to stroll next to the shops in the east city. It was already sunset. Before long, they heard the sound of four gongs. All the pedestrians on the street began to walk out, and all the shops began to close.

Zuo Shaoyang knew that the sound of the gong should be a signal to close the market, so he took Bai Zhihan out of the south gate, found a taxi carriage, and returned to the Penglai Inn where they lived.

The next day, Zuo Gui's father took Zuo Shaoyang, Bai Zhihan and Ding Xiaosan out to find the shopkeeper Bao from the Jishi Pharmaceutical Store recommended by Zhu Yaogu, and discussed asking the media to tell the couple about their marriage.

After reading Zhu Yaoqiu's recommendation letter, as well as the inscription and sword gift from Prince Zhao, he was very enthusiastic and said that the Zuo family had a wealthy family, a thousand acres of fertile land, a large mansion, and several other shops. Especially with Prince Zhao, it was not difficult to find a satisfactory wife. I wonder if the Zuo family had any special requirements for marriage.

Zuo Shaoyang and his father have already discussed it and require three requirements: one must be a family of officials and scholars; the second is that they have no disability and are dignified and virtuous; the third is that the woman must agree that Zuo Shaoyang can take a concubine one year after getting married.

After hearing the three conditions, Zhangguan Bao was in a difficult situation and said that the first two were easy to deal with, but the third one was. Although it was common for wealthy families to have three wives and four concubines, they could make accusations of doing this in the future, but now they nodded and agreed to take a concubine in the future. They married to the remote Hezhou, which was a bit difficult. However, since it was recommended by Zhu Yaogu, Zhangguan Bao still patted his chest and said that he would do his best. Let them wait for the news.

Then I had to wait. There was no news from Mr. Qu, so it was difficult to inquire, so the family started to visit the capital.

I visited the East City, and then visited the West City.

The West City is surrounded by well-off homes, which are a little money but not much, so there are both high, medium and low-end ones in West City, which are even more lively than East City.

This time Bai Zhihan was prepared and said that he would not buy anything Zuo Shaoyang would not buy anything, but she would not want it even if he forced her to buy it. Zuo Shaoyang actually had no money to buy expensive things. Fortunately, there were many cheap and good things in the western market, and there were many delicious foods. The family was mainly full of food and eyes.

Just after they visited all the places that can be visited in the capital, Manager Bao finally brought good news.

That afternoon, they came back from the street after shopping, carrying large and small bags of things. The inn shopkeeper told them that the shopkeeper Bao from Jishi Pharmaceutical Store had been waiting in the waiting room of the inn for a long time, so he hurriedly invited him to sit in the house and talk to him with tea.

Manager Bao said: "I have served the PICC media more than once or twice. I just count the hardest one this time. Finally, I've done it."

Zuo Gui was surprised and said, "Whose daughter is?"

"The ancestors of the Wang family in Xicheng once worked as a proofreader from the ninth rank of Hongwenguan. They were tribute students and officials."

"From the ninth rank?" Zuo Gui obviously felt that his official position was a bit low, but he was also a family of officials and a scholarly family. He asked again: "What is the appearance of a talent?"

"I have seen it. My appearance cannot be said to be beautiful, but it is not bad anymore. It can definitely be said to be dignified."

"That's good, did that person agree to marry for one year?"

"This has cost me some verbal remarks. I definitely disagree with it before. I talked about the power of your Zuo family in Hezhou, with thousands of acres of fertile land, the largest medicine shop, and a large mansion. The doctor once received the title of "Supporting Army Model" enthroned by Prince Zhao and awarded countless treasures. In addition, I am looking for the most famous matchmaker in the capital. A tongue that is so good that it is so tempting to make people moved. Since it is so good, as long as you are good to your daughter, you should take a concubine. I agree so much."

"That's great," Zuo Gui said happily, thinking that although it was a bit exaggerated when Zhang Guest Bao introduced himself when he was a matchmaker, it was basically true. No one would say he was cheating on the marriage at that time, and then said, "Where is the betrothal gift? How much is the betrothal gift?"

Manager Bao raised his face and slapped: "Thirty silos were originally going to be fifty, but we had been talking for a long time, and it was finally said that it was thirty silos."

Zuo Gui's father breathed a sigh of relief, and could still take out the betrothal gift. He nodded and asked, "Okay, thank you, when will we meet? - Zhonger must nod in person for the wedding."

"They said it, it's OK at any time. It's right to look at each other. They also have to look at each other and see if they're as good as they say."

"Haha, then what about tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, I'll go back to the other person. Tomorrow morning, we'll visit us. Let the two meet and talk."

Things finally came to light, and the Zuo family was very happy. Zuo Shaoyang had never seen this woman before, so he couldn't say anything about it, but it was not easy for him to agree to take a concubine. It was no problem at this threshold. He felt a little favorable.

Unexpectedly, when they met the next day, Zuo Shaoyang was shocked. The woman looked like a little bit, but she was vulgar and swearing from time to time. She was very interested in the land and houses of the Zuo family. She said that she never left the money. This made Zuo Shaoyang lose interest and shook his head secretly.

After saying goodbye, Zuo Shaoyang shook his head to Manager Bao and said, "This woman is not suitable for me. Can you find another one?"

"Not suitable?" Both Zhanggui Bao and Zuo Gui's father were surprised. Zuo Gui's father asked, "Why is it not suitable?"

"I'm too greedy for money, talk vulgar and have dirty words. I don't look like a lady from a family at all."

Manager Bao smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I don't know, I can only look at the girl's appearance and family background. It's really hard to grasp this kind of conversation, knowledge and cultivation."

Zuo Shaoyang said: "How about this? Next time I talk about a matchmaker, I will ask the woman if she knows whether she can write poems and essays. That's all. Any woman with knowledge and talent will not have much poorer conversation and cultivation."

Manager Bao scratched his head: "This is even more difficult, because the daughters of officials and families know about writing and writing about words, but if they say that they are good at chanting poems and writing about essays, there are probably very few. After all, women do not take the tribute exams, and they should just open their eyes and open their eyes to blindly write about words. Why should they recite poems and writing about essays? - Otherwise, Mr. Zuo, write a poem, and when I say that I am a matchmaker, I will show it to the daughter. Can I understand it? I am afraid that my knowledge will not be very good. If you can understand it, you should be able to match the young master."

"This is a good idea," Zuo Gui's father stroked his beard and smiled, turning his head to look at Zuo Shaoyang, "It's good, I don't know if Zhong'er can write poems and essays that can be used to show off. Don't use them to make a fool of yourself. Otherwise, Zhi'er, you have both great calligraphy and painting, so you can write a poem for him."

Bai Zhihan hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, you don't know that the young master's poetry and essays can be compared with the most famous poetry and talent today, and cannot be compared with the young master."

"Oh?" Zuo Gui's father smiled, "What kind of poetry has he done, so you admire it?"

Bai Zhihan recited famous poems by poets such as Lu You, who were copied by Zuo Shaoyang before.

Manager Bao was so elegant that he didn't feel surprised. Zuo Gui's father was a well-read poet. After hearing this, he widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Zuo Shaoyang: "Zhong'er, did you really make these poems?"

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "I told Zhi'er that it was not written by me, but by a friend of mine."

"Who is it?"

"This..." Zuo Shaoyang stammered, "He was named Du, his name was Fu, his courtesy name was Zimei, and his nickname was Shaoling Ye Lao."

"Oh? Du Fu, Du Zimei, Shaoling Ye Lao?" Zuo Gui's father twisted his beard and pondered, frowned and thought about the poetic talent he knew about, without any clues, and looked at Bai Zhihan again.

Bai Zhihan stuck out his tongue and whispered: "Master, this person Zhi'er has never heard of it. Such a poetic talent should have been well-known for a long time, but for some reason he was unknown."

Bai Zhihan's words were obviously saying that Zuo Shaoyang was lying, and Zuo Gui's father's face sank: "Zhong'er, is this person fabricated by you?"

"It's really not."

"No, then, where is he?"

"This, I met him one by one, I don't know where he went."

Zuo Gui's father lost his mind again, Bai Zhihan whispered: "Master, regardless of whether the young master's poems were written by this fabricated person, just let the young master copy them and take them to the other party to read them. This can not only determine the woman's knowledge, but also show the young master's literary talent, so that the other party can feel more at ease to make a marriage."

"Well, that's right." Zuo Gui's father nodded frequently and said to Zuo Shaoyang, "I don't care whether these poems were made by you or others. Now you can write another poem that suits the situation on the spot and use it for the blind date exam for the female literary talent. This is also your own wish. Write it quickly."

Zuo Shaoyang laughed dryly: "Then, let me think about the poems my friend had recited before, and plagiarize one for use."

"Do you want to go down and think about it slowly?"

Zuo Shaoyang saw that the sun was already west, and there were not many poems and songs in his stomach. If there was no suitable one, he would never think about it when he went back and said, "No need, I'll think about it here."

Zuo Gui's father was even more surprised. The ancient Cao Zhi made a poem in seven steps. Could it be that his son also had such a great genius? He twisted his beard and said to Bai Zhihan: "Zhi'er, prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Okay" to see Zuo Shaoyang write poems on the spot, which was an extremely exciting thing, Bai Zhihan began to prepare quickly.
