Chapter 131 There is a beauty in the north!
Yuyin Pavilion.
Fenghuang looked at Li Nuo, blinked, and asked, "Sir, do you understand poetry?"
Li Nuo glanced at her and said, "You look down on me, don't you? How about I write a poem and you check it out first?"
Phoenix smiled slightly and said, "Okay..."
Three months ago, he presented two birthday poems to Old Madam Song at the birthday banquet at the Song Mansion.
One of them was just a playful piece.
Although the other song is a masterpiece, there are rumors that it was written for him by his father.
I can take this opportunity to find out whether the rumors are true or not.
Li Nuo asked: "What kind of poetry do you want?"
Phoenix said: "It's similar to the one just now."
Li Nuo looked at Fenghuang with a strange look.
The content of the poem just now is straightforward and simple.
The whole poem has only one theme, which is to praise how beautiful a woman is.
She really had so much money that she had no idea where to spend it, that she actually spent a hundred taels of silver to have someone write a poem to praise her beauty.
Li Nuo has a new understanding of her narcissism.
Fenghuang walked to the table, spread out a piece of paper, and said, "I'll grind ink for you, sir."
Li Nuo shook his hand and said, "No, I need some time to think about it. I'll give it to you tomorrow when I pass by Yuyin Pavilion."
Although there are many ready-made poems in the poetry library in his mind, most of them need to be modified and cannot be used directly.
Moreover, if he wrote on the spot, his real handwriting would not be very good enough to be presented.
You can write it at home, and when you go to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow, ask Gu Yanran to help copy it.
After returning to the Song Mansion and finishing his meal, Li Nuo returned to his room and began to screen in his mind.
He quickly chose a poem.
The skirt is embroidered with two butterflies, at the banquet at the East Pond, we first met. The rouge and powder are not deep and even, and the idle flowers are light in the spring.
Look carefully at all the good things, everyone says, willow waist. Yesterday the mountains were dark, when I came, there were clouds on my clothes.
This poem "Drunk with the Whip" was given by Zhang Xian to a singing girl at a banquet. It depicts a beautiful woman and is one of Zhang Xian's more famous poems, which meets Fenghuang's requirements.
It's just that the sentence 'Dongchi Banquet, first meeting' needs to be changed, because he and Fenghuang first met in Yuyin Pavilion. Except for this sentence, every word can be unchanged.
This poem is a famous piece of work by Zhang Xian. She made a fortune by selling it to her for eighty taels.
Li Nuo had just revised the poem and copied it down when several gentlemen from Qingfeng Academy appeared at the door.
These days, he has been busy with the work of the Anti-Theft Bureau, and the four old people have made several wasted trips. Li Nuo decided to talk to them for another half an hour today.
Not long after he and the four old gentlemen left, two figures slowly walked into the courtyard.
Song Jiaren walked into the room, sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, and suddenly saw a piece of paper on the table.
She picked up the paper and looked at it, a look of confusion on her face.
She knew the meaning of the sentence "A silk skirt embroidered with two butterflies, Yuyin Pavilion, and the first meeting", but she knew every word of "The rouge and powder are not deep and even, the idle flowers bloom faintly in spring", but she didn't know what they meant when they were connected together.
The latter sentence seems to be about a woman with a thin waist, but what does "Yesterday the mountains were dark, and when I came, my clothes were covered with clouds" mean?
…
Song Yu was sleeping and was woken up by someone.
He got up from the bed, looked at the little girl standing beside the bed, and asked, "Ning'er, what's the matter?"
Song Muer said: "I am Muer, not Ninger..."
She handed a piece of paper to Song Yu and asked, "Brother Yu, can you help me see what this poem means..."
Song Yu took the paper, looked up, yawned, and said, "This is a lyric, not a poem, Two butterflies embroidered on a silk skirt, Jade Sound Pavilion, first meeting... This is a reversed sentence. The correct order is, Jade Sound Pavilion, first meeting, two butterflies embroidered on a silk skirt..."
Song Muer asked: "What does this mean?"
Song Yu said: "It means that when I first saw a girl in Yuyin Pavilion, she was wearing a skirt embroidered with two butterflies, her rouge was not deep and even, and she was like a spring flower... It means that this girl was born beautiful, and she was beautiful even without rouge, just like a spring flower..."
Song Muer was stunned, and suddenly a bad feeling arose in her heart.
Song Yu, however, had already regained his spirits. He looked at the second half of the poem on the paper and continued, "Look closely and you will see that everything is good. Everyone says that she has a willow-like waist. This means that everyone only says that this girl has a good figure, but the lyricist thinks that she is good in every way. Yesterday, the mountains were turbulent and dark, and when she came, her clothes were covered with clouds. You may not understand this sentence, but you just need to know that this is praising the girl for being as beautiful as a fairy in the sky..."
Song Muer bit her lip and regretted coming over to ask on behalf of Sister Jiaren.
Song Yu looked at the poem in surprise and asked, "Who wrote this poem? Why haven't I heard of it before? It's about a girl from Yuyin Pavilion. Is it Yuanyang? No, Yuanyang doesn't deserve such an evaluation..."
Although Song Yu liked Yuanyang, he had to admit that Miss Yuanyang was not worthy of this poem.
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he whispered, "It's not a mandarin duck, and it's definitely not a nightingale. She has no figure at all. The only girl in Yuyin Pavilion who can match this poem is Miss Phoenix..."
He looked at the paper carefully and said, "This is a love poem, an excellent confession of love poem, describing the author's love at first sight for a girl. The whole poem is fresh and graceful, especially the last two lines, which are both real and imaginary, with amazing imagination. It is really well written... By the way, who wrote this?"
Song Muer grabbed the paper and immediately said, "I don't know either. I picked it up outside!"
She took the paper and walked back to a room. She smiled at Song Jiaren and said, "Sister Jiaren, I asked Brother Yu. He said, 'The rouge is not evenly applied, just like the wild flowers in spring, colorful and messy, so ugly..."
Song Jiaren asked: "What about the back?"
Song Muer's eyes rolled around, thinking and saying, "Yesterday, the mountains were dark and the clouds on my clothes mean, it means... it means that last night, this woman went hiking and didn't come back until the evening. Her clothes were covered with mud and water. She still thought the stains were as beautiful as clouds. Sister Jiaren, this woman is really sloppy!"
Although what Muer said seems to make some sense.
But Song Jiaren always felt something was wrong.
Song Muer pressed the paper under a book and said to Song Jiaren, "Sister Jiaren, I forgot a few moves in that sword technique. Can you teach me again..."
…
In order to make up to the gentlemen, Li Nuo lectured to them for more than an hour before finishing the course.
His throat was about to smoke from talking, and he was about to go back to drink some water. Before he even entered the yard, he was dragged and pulled to the gate of the Song Mansion by a small figure.
Before she could speak, Li Nuo asked, "The King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth?"
Song Muer looked anxious and said, "It's already this late, and you're still using secret codes. Something big has happened!"
After a moment, after hearing Mu'er's words, Li Nuo was stunned.
Was that poem seen by my wife?
Just see it, it’s not like he wrote love poems to Fenghuang without telling his wife.
Eighty taels of silver for a poem, eighty taels of silver he earned himself, which has special meaning. He also plans to use this money to buy a gift for Muer and his wife...
After listening to his explanation, Song Muer said helplessly: "Although Brother Li Nuo, your intentions are good, but you have never written a poem for Sister Jiaren. If I were Sister Jiaren, I would be angry, let alone a stingy Sister Jiaren..."
Li Nuo thought about it carefully and felt that what Mu'er said made sense.
He has never been in a relationship, so how could he notice such details?
Fortunately, there is Muer.
After a moment, Li Nuo walked into the yard and returned to the room.
Song Jiaren sat at the table, looking at a book of poetry.
Li Nuo poured a glass of water, and after drinking it, he suddenly said, "My dear, I haven't drawn a picture for you for a long time. Let me draw a picture for you."
Song Jiaren was a little surprised. She put down the poetry book and said softly, "Okay."
This time, Li Nuo took a different approach and painted a picture of her looking back while dancing with the sword.
Although there is only a back view and a side profile, it captures her full charm.
This picture has long been deeply imprinted in his mind.
A look of surprise appeared in Song Jiaren's eyes.
She liked this painting more than any of the previous ones.
There is just too much blank space next to the painting, which feels a bit awkward, but she is already very satisfied with it.
Li Nuo put down his paintbrush, and Song Jiaren thought the painting was finished.
At this time, Li Nuo picked up the pen again, dipped it in ink, and filled in a few lines of words in the blank space at the lower left corner of the painting.
beautiful woman.
There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent.
One glance can conquer a city, and another glance can conquer a country.
I would rather not know that such a beautiful woman is so stunning that she can topple a city or a country, as such a beautiful woman is hard to find again.
…
Although Song Jiaren didn't understand poetry, she already knew a lot of words.
Even though she didn't quite understand the last two sentences.
But she knew what peerless beauty meant.
I also know what it means to topple a city and a country.
The painting is beautiful.
The handwriting is very beautiful.
Importantly, the title of this poem is also her name.
This made her face turn slightly red.
At this moment, she didn't know what to say, and her fists were clenched tightly in her sleeves.
After finishing the painting, Li Nuo's body was covered with paint and he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Song Yu was still catching up on his sleep when he was woken up by Mu'er for the second time. He said helplessly, "Mu'er, what's wrong again?"
Song Muer handed over a piece of paper and said, "Brother Yu, take another look at this poem!"
Song Yu rubbed his eyes and took the paper. There were only three lines of short poetry on the paper, but he looked at it for a long time.
Song Muer glanced outside and asked, "Brother Yu, how is this poem?"
"One glance can conquer a city, another glance can conquer a country. I would rather not know that she can conquer a city and a country, as such a beautiful woman is hard to find again..." Song Yu sat up from the bed, muttering to himself.
This poem may seem exaggerated at first glance, but upon closer inspection it is truly heartfelt and leaves a lasting aftertaste.
Song Muer asked: "Brother Yu, I would rather not know that it is difficult to find a beautiful woman again than to be able to overwhelm a city or a country."
Song Yu said slowly: "This sentence means that he would rather give up the city and the country than give up the beauty in the poem. It expresses the man's strong love for the woman. This is also a confession poem..."
Song Muer asked: "Which one is better, this poem or the one just now?"
Song Yu said without hesitation: "Of course it is this one. This is a masterpiece with ancient charm that will surely be passed down through the ages. No one has ever been able to describe a beauty like this. How can that vulgar and vulgar poem be compared with this masterpiece? Strange, where did you see this poem? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Song Muer said with a smile: "Of course you haven't heard of it. This is what Brother Li Nuo just wrote for Sister Jia Ren. The name of the poem is Sister Jia Ren's name. Brother Li Nuo is amazing..."
