Chapter 621 Poetry
In a blink of an eye, it was mid-April.
Lin Feize took advantage of the high morale to pursue the victory and took back many cities. Now only the fortress of Yizhou City has not been taken back, and the battle has temporarily fallen into a stalemate.
The capital is gradually returning to its former prosperity, and the victims outside the city have been resettled properly. They can all return to their homes when the war is completely over.
At the time when late spring and early summer intersect, it is expected that the cold spring will be gone, and the bright and sunny summer will be here.
Wei Jia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, suddenly handed over a post, inviting Lin Chuqian to attend the poetry meeting.
This is not the first time someone has invited her to participate in a poetry meeting. Ever since she danced swords and recited poems at the palace banquet, invitations were often handed over, but Lin Chuqian refused them all.
But this time it was hard to turn down the kindness, because the post was inscribed by Mrs. Wei herself.
Coincidentally, she also knew Mrs. Wei. She was Li Yi, the niece of Mrs. Wang who was struggling to seek medical treatment for her hidden illness, the princess of Qinyuanhou's mansion, and Li Zijing's first sister.
I didn't expect that the news of Li Zijing's death in battle had just passed, and she was in the mood to hold a poetry meeting?
After thinking about it, he felt that the other party's special invitation must have other motives, and after inquiring about it, he found out that Wei's Mansion and Shen's Mansion are quite related.
The eldest son of the Wei family married the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
The inextricable relationship between the nobles in the capital is really intricate and troublesome.
Since he couldn't refuse, he could only go resolutely.
That day, Lin Chuqian deliberately wore a gorgeous and tacky dress, and brought along Gao Zili who had recovered from illness,
I almost forgot to explain that Gao's family and Shen Wei's family have always had different political views, and they rarely communicate in private.
Lin Chuqian brought Gao Zili, a well-known bully in the capital, and she showed her attitude as soon as she appeared on the stage.
She is the daughter of a military general, after all, she can't climb up to a scholarly family like her Shen's family.
Mrs. Wei, Li Yi, the Princess of the Marquis of Qinyuan, greeted them personally at the door, and she was very enthusiastic when she saw the two of them.
"Sister Yi." Although the Wei family has little contact with the Gao family, the Qinyuan Marquis Mansion is quite close to the Gao mansion, and Mrs. Wei even grew up watching Gao Zili grow up.
Mrs. Wei was quiet and gentle, she just nodded with a smile: "I never thought Ah Li would come too."
"Sister Wei is really eccentric." Gao Zili pulled her and said coquettishly: "I was not invited to the poetry meeting, only Ah Qian was invited. If I didn't happen to be in the mansion today and ran into her to go out, I wouldn't have known that she was going out in the capital. There’s also such a thing as poetry.”
Mrs. Wei smiled quite awkwardly, thinking that the poetry society has always existed, but she never thought of inviting her.
Lin Chuqian held back her smile, thinking that what Gao Zili said in the car just now was really effective.
When you walk to the backyard of Weifu, you will see elegant green bamboos and orchids, which are fresh and elegant, quiet and distant, and have a poetic flavor of a paradise.
As soon as Lin Chuqian and Gao Zili entered the arena, they attracted everyone's attention. There was a commotion in the crowd, and they whispered that Gao Zili would come here, and they even talked about Lin Chuqian's dazzling appearance from beginning to end. Durable attire.
They were all waiting to see if it was that distinguished guest that Mrs. Wei would go to meet in person, but it turned out that this kind of person came.
Lin Chuqian calmly pulled Gao Zili to find a place to sit down.
Mrs. Wei ordered someone to bring tea and cakes, and everyone gathered around to watch an orchid and began to chant poems.
Gao Zili yawned continuously, which often attracted people's attention.
Lin Chuqian smiled secretly, and yawned together. The two of them acted vulgarly and impolitely. Seeing someone showing impatience and contempt, she secretly rejoiced, thinking that the purpose of this trip had been achieved.
Mrs. Wei and others' interest in reciting poems and having fun was finally disturbed by the two of them. Mrs. Wei raised her eyes and asked in a gentle tone: "I wonder if Miss Lin is interested in reciting a poem?"
Everyone looked at Lin Chuqian one after another. Under the attention of everyone, she blinked her eyes innocently, stood up and pretended to think for a while, and finally raised her head to face everyone's expectant gaze, she shook her head seriously: "I'm really sorry, although I Interested, but unable to write poetry."
All the people present showed sarcasm, but Madam Wei had a good temper, she just smiled and said: "I think this place is boring, but there is a fish pond in the mansion which is quite interesting, why don't Miss Lin go and have a look?"
Lin Chuqian thought it was because she finally felt that she and Gao Zili were too intrusive here, so she wanted to drive them to another place to cool off.
"It's so good." She readily agreed, took Gao Zili and the two of them to leave the banquet with the servants of the Wei Mansion.
"Finally, I left that group of pretending 'every ladies'." Gao Zili, who had endured for a long time, couldn't help complaining.
Lin Chuqian smiled secretly. "It's just that the interests are different. It seems that you are good at shooting slingshots, but in the eyes of others, you still feel that you are too detached and have no girlish posture."
Gao Zili had no words to refute, so he pouted arrogantly and remained silent.
The two followed the servants to a fish pond. After the servants left, the two looked down and saw that there were fish in the fish pond, but it was just a deserted small lake.
The lake water is turbid, with silt visible to the naked eye underneath, and new buds sprouting faintly, and there are only green weeds floating on the water.
It looks like a lotus pond.
It's just that the lotus hasn't bloomed yet, and the lake is quite empty.
"Is this the fish pond that Sister Yi mentioned?" Gao Zili questioned.
Lin Chuqian smiled lightly, thinking that Mrs. Wei really took great pains to drive the two of them away.
Even the lotus pond can be called a fish pond.
"If you come, please be safe, Ah Li, sit down and have a cup of tea!" Lin Chuqian sat down slowly, there was tea and snacks on the table, and sitting here was quite special.
Gao Zili had no choice but to sit down with her, looking quite unhappy.
Lin Chuqian smiled helplessly, raised her hand to pour tea, and after taking a sip of the tea, sighed secretly that it was still worse than Qingqiu.
As soon as they put down the teacup, they saw a man walking towards them from under the side tree.
Lin Chuqian faintly felt a headache, and before she got up, she heard the man salute gently and politely.
"In the sinking curtain, I rashly broke into the two abrupt ones."
It turned out that he was Shen Wei, son of the Shen family, but he had a dignified appearance and a dignified appearance.
How could it be an accident that he appeared here today?
Lin Chuqian stood up in embarrassment and saluted. "I think Mr. Shen came before the two of us, it's because we were abrupt."
Seeing that she had seen through today's little trick, Shen Wei looked a little embarrassed, smiled and didn't know how to answer, but only raised his eyes and peeked at Lin Chuqian a few times, feeling uneasy.
As soon as Gao Zili heard Shen Wei, he stood up excitedly and stood in front of Lin Chuqian, asking sharply, "What is your intention for appearing here today?"
"...I just want to express my heart to Miss Lin face to face." Shen Wei was ashamed, turned around and suddenly looked at Lin Chuqian in embarrassment.
"Show your heart?" Gao Zili snorted softly. "It's too much to do, Ah Qian has long been with the boss..."
Lin Chuqian was shocked, and quickly covered her mouth for fear that she would say something shocking.
"Mr. Shen, don't laugh at me, Ah Li has a rather stubborn temperament."
Gao Zili was very dissatisfied with her mouth being covered, and stared at her with round eyes. Lin Chuqian warned in her ear, and she agreed to shut up embarrassingly.
Shen Wei stood by the side hesitating, last time he just caught a glimpse at the palace banquet, and after the meeting, he was worried and unforgettable, and seeing the beautiful woman again today, he was very excited.
Gao Zili finally calmed down, Lin Chuqian pulled her away, thinking that since he met the client today, it would be good for both of them to make it clear, so as not to delay others.
"Master Shen, can you tell me something?"
Shen Wei suppressed the throbbing in his heart and nodded slightly. "Please miss Gao to stay away for a while."
"No, is there anything I can't listen to?" Gao Zili protested.
Shen Wei looked embarrassed, Lin Chuqian had no choice but to push Gao Zili's shoulder.
"A Li, you go to the front and wait for a while."
Gao Zili stared dissatisfiedly, but finally reluctantly walked away and waited not far away.
Lin Chuqian looked up and saw her kicking the pebbles under the tree in dissatisfaction, she couldn't help being amused by her childishness, she looked back at Shen Wei, and found that he was looking at her in a daze.
"Young Master Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Lin Chuqian sat down again, picked up the teacup and hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head to drink tea, making a loud and indecent drinking sound on purpose.
Shen Wei approached and sat opposite her, seeing her so could not help but chuckle. "Miss Lin doesn't have to be like this."
"What does Mr. Shen mean by that?" Lin Chuqian pretended not to understand.
"Today you purposely dressed gorgeously, and you made a fool of yourself at the poetry meeting. Miss Lin just wanted people to mistake you for a vulgar and shallow person." Shen Wei looked at her with a smile, and naturally understood what she was doing.
"Young Master Shen is wrong." Lin Chuqian put down her teacup and corrected her seriously: "There is no need to deliberately, I am a vulgar and shallow person."
"You can recite poems and compose Fu, and you can also dance with a sword. How can Miss Lin be so vulgar and shallow?"
Facing the admiration and admiration in his eyes, Lin Chuqian felt troublesome and had a headache. She lifted her feet and crossed her legs, leaned on the table with her head tilted, and was out of shape.
She said: "Mr. Shen, in fact, I am lazy by nature. I don't like to recite poems, and I'm not good at singing and dancing. field."
"It's not a misunderstanding." Shen Wei seemed to be very sure of his intentions, and he looked up at her solemnly. "No one has ever moved my heart so much in this life. Miss Lin, maybe you will find it abrupt, but at the palace banquet that day, the poems you recited or the sword you danced were not the reason why I fell in love with you, but the reason I fell in love with you at that time. The Lin family is deeply imprisoned. You, a weak woman, can break into the palace banquet alone and plead for her father in full view. This kind of courage is commendable, and I am deeply impressed. I just feel that you are very different from all the women in the world same."
Lin Chuqian didn't know what to say after listening, so she just asked, "If you admire and admire me, you don't have to marry me?"
"It's not just admiration, it's... even more admiration."
Shen Wei took the trouble to explain, and revealed her feelings to her, but who knew that she would react like this, and couldn't help being anxious.
Lin Chuqian held her forehead, only feeling a headache.Even He Changsheng was upset, and now there was another Shen Wei who came out of nowhere.
"Miss Lin doesn't need to rush to reply." Shen Wei said softly: "I can wait patiently."
Wait patiently?
Lin Chuqian was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered that He Changsheng had said something similar.
"You don't have to rush into any decisions because I will always be waiting for you," he said.
But later in Bitian Lake, he took her hand to cover her chest and said, "I can wait for you forever, but I don't want you to continue to turn a blind eye to me."
He said, "Qianqian, I just want you to understand what I mean."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let out another long sigh, and murmured: "Someone said this to me before."
Shen Wei was taken aback for a moment, and asked softly: "Couldn't Ms. Lin already have her own heart?"
"No." Lin Chuqian subconsciously shook her head and insisted on denying, "I don't have anyone else in my heart."
After all, her heart should belong to herself alone.
