"Thank you, brother-in-law." Yuchi Shuang happily accepted it, and her admiration for her brother-in-law increased by one.
In her mind, Jiang Hai is good-looking, talented, wealthy, and generous. He's the ancient version of a top student, tall, rich, and handsome.
After a while, Yuchi Ziling came out of the room.
She wore a light blue silk dress, a white gauze top, embroidered with silver thread, and a pink belt, which made her slender waist look even more graceful.
She had her hair in an elegant bun, with a jade hairpin and a few pearl flowers adorning her hair.
Her face was lightly made up, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, her lips were like cherries, and a faint smile hung at the corners of her mouth.
Yuchi Ziling said, "Okay, let's go."
Jiang Hai was a little stunned. The eldest lady usually looked heroic and valiant, but after dressing up she became extremely gentle and even her voice became softer.
Seeing his wife, who had transformed into a fairy, coming over, Jiang Hai couldn't help but hook her chin and teased,
"Oh, who is this young lady? She is so beautiful and charming. Would you like to go to a literary gathering with me, enjoy the moon and scenery, and write poems and lyrics?"
Yuchi Ziling raised her foot and kicked his calf, saying playfully,
"Whose young lady are you teasing? I told you to be so frivolous."
Jiang Hai was prepared and dodged it.
Then I saw an embroidered shoe flying more than ten meters away.
Jiang Hai was still in shock.
"Oh my god, luckily I dodged in time. If you had kicked me with such force, I would have never been able to leave the house."
The girl who lost her shoes hopped twice on one foot on the spot. Seeing this, Jiang Hai hurried over to support her.
The servant Ban Cai'er went over and picked up the shoes.
"My lady is so formal today that even her embroidered shoes are on display." Jiang Hai said.
"That's right, I just don't like wearing this."
Well, the eldest lady’s tsundere nature is still there.
After putting their shoes back on, they left the house and got on a carriage, heading towards the venue of the literary gathering.
The venue for the literary gathering was located not far from the west gate of the capital.
There is a Dream Lake over there, and a Qingmeng Garden was built along the lake.
The literary gathering was held in the garden, and it was naturally called the Qingmeng Literary Meeting.
This literary gathering was slightly different from the literary gatherings that Jiang Hai had in mind.
Most of the participants are candidates from the capital, and the main purpose is academic exchange.
Since most of the participants are candidates and the personnel turnover is high, there is no fixed group of literati like in elegant gatherings.
Moreover, it is held every three years, with a long time span, and a large number of participants, starting from a few hundred people.
At the same time, there were also many young ladies from wealthy families of officials, most of whom came to see the talented man show off his literary talent.
Some of these beauties would also join in the literary pursuits.
However, most of the topics discussed, apart from the literary talent of talented men, are some elegant activities more suitable for women, such as playing the piano, chess, and tea art.
So it gradually evolved, and this grand literary gathering held every three years became a bit magical.
In addition to academic exchanges, it also has a bit of the meaning of a blind date conference.
Although this meaning was not made clear, everyone who came knew it well.
The literary gatherings were hosted by the more famous literati in the capital, as well as professors from the academy, and professors from the Imperial Academy would also be present.
The imperial court supported the Grand Literary Society and even lifted the curfew for that day.
When talking about the literary gathering, we have to talk about Prince Xuan's son Yang Zhe. He also came to the literary gathering to hunt for new concubines before.
As a young man in his thirties, two of his concubines were found in literary circles.
But he can't come this year, and he's still lying on the board at home with his legs crossed.
Wenzhi drove the carriage towards the west of the city.
Jiang Hai stared at his wife in the car, as if thinking about something.
Yuchi Ziling felt embarrassed by his gaze. How could he stare at someone so directly?
"What are you doing? Staring at me like that."
Jiang Hai frowned and turned to drive out to Wenzhi Road.
"Wenzhi, let's stop by Jiang's house."
"Okay, Master."
Wenzhi agreed. To go to the west of the city, he had to pass by Xishi, and then he could turn to Jiang's house on Fushan Street.
Jiang Hai didn't say anything else and just stared at his wife.
Yuchi Ziling was so angry that she almost went crazy. What was wrong with this guy today?
Soon they arrived at Jiang's house, and Jiang Hai said, "Wenzhi, wait for me."
He rushed into the house, using his so-called Qinggong, which he had practiced for two days, and was only a step or two faster than a normal person.
"Hey, young master, you're back." Uncle Fu greeted Jiang Hai hurriedly when he saw him.
But before he could finish his greeting, Jiang Hai had already run to the study.
Then he came out and asked his maid to bring him a silk fan.
A moment later, Jiang Hai came out with two fans and got into the carriage.
"Wenzhi, let's go."
After saying that, he handed the silk fan to Yuchi Ziling.
Yuchi Ziling took the fan without knowing why.
"What is this for?"
Jiang Hai said calmly,
"My lady, you are too dazzling today. I will drive away some flies and mosquitoes for you in advance."
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Ziling picked up the fan and took a look. Wow, there were quite a lot of words written on it this time. There were two big words written on the fan: [Married], and a line of small words below: [My husband is tall, rich and handsome].
"..." Yuchi Ziling was speechless.
"What kind of person is this tall, rich and handsome guy?"
Jiang Hai almost choked, opened his folding fan, on which was written [Tall, Rich and Handsome], and said,
"It's not a thing, it's me."
"Oh, it's you who are useless." Yuchi Ziling followed his words and then said, "Hahahaha."
Miss Yuchi couldn't help but laugh at her own train of thought.
Even Cai'er and Yuchi Shuang beside them couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Hai pursed his lips in frustration. This was just a wrong lead, and he had to blame himself.
Yuchi Ziling calmed down and asked,
"Then how did you become tall, rich and handsome again? Before, you were called Aquaman or something. You have so many names."
"Brilliantly talented, incredibly wealthy, and incredibly handsome. Check it out."
Jiang Hai raised his thumb and pointed at himself, very narcissistic.
"You again. But you wrote me as married, but you yourself are just tall, rich and handsome. Is there another deeper meaning?"
Yuchi Ziling glanced at Jiang Hai's folding fan.
Jiang Hai calmly turned the fan over, and there were words on it: [Married], [Wife is fair, rich and beautiful].
After seeing these words, Yuchi Ziling realized what was happening and turned her fan over. Sure enough, there was also "白富美" (white, rich and beautiful) on it.
Now Yuchi Ziling blushed a little. She actually did this and felt a little conceited, but she enjoyed it very much.
At least she felt that Jiang Hai was not the kind of person who wanted to take advantage of the literary meeting to choose a concubine.
"Well, are you satisfied now, my lady?"
"Haha, isn't that a bit too ostentatious?"
"It's okay. I'm using it to keep the flies away. No one's looking for it, so you don't have to take it out."
"A bit childish, I think."
"Whatever, I think it's fun."
"All right."
Yuchi Ziling finally put away her silk fan and looked outside the carriage, her thoughts a little vague. Apart from the fact that her husband did things a little strangely, he was a pretty good person.
