The talented woman Liu who became famous with one poem
An unknown poem from the inner chambers of the Lu family quickly spread among the female members of the family, and even spread throughout Jinan Prefecture as the unreliable men of the family frequented brothels.
It is said that several famous girls' schools specifically teach this work, which is known as a model of women's "poetry expressing one's aspirations"!
Of course, Liu Buqi, who lived deep in the inner house, had no time to deal with all this!
I used to be obsessed with movies and TV series about palace fighting and vying for favor for a long time, and I thought I could handle it easily.
But when he was really caught up in this group of women including aunts and uncles, Liu Buqi found that he was completely unable to cope with it!
Come to think of it, this isn't about talent; the experience gained from childhood is far more important than natural intelligence!
Liu Buqi's experience and modern people's way of thinking make it impossible to make any progress in this inner house where background and hierarchy are important!
Fortunately, the poem she plagiarized unintentionally caused quite a stir, giving her the opportunity to finally escape from the quagmire of the Lu Mansion again!
Mr. Han, who had previously taught Liu Buqi needlework, not only occasionally came to the Lu family to serve as a guest female teacher, but was also the clerk of Jinan Bookstore, which was equivalent to a librarian.
The bookstore is a gathering place for scholars and elegant people, who often hold poetry readings and other activities. Mr. Han would also invite some noble ladies from famous families to attend.
Liu Buqi's anonymous poem spread throughout the city. As the person who happened to be at the scene, Mr. Han judged Liu Buqi by his own standards and felt sympathy for his talent!
A formal invitation to Liu Buqi to attend a poetry reading was placed on Lu Ren's desk.
The official Lu family, who prided themselves on passing down poetry and literature, certainly could not blatantly prevent the women in their family from attending the meeting.
Liu Buqi was fed up with the etiquette and hypocrisy in the inner house, and regardless of Qin's overt and covert verbal obstruction, he took Bai Jinjing and Zhang Xiruo and went to the meeting as if fleeing.
However, while attending meetings was fine, writing poetry was definitely not something she would do again! Liu Buqi didn't want to bear the eternal infamy of being called a literary thief, nor could she afford to do so, even though no one knew about this so-called "thief" except herself!
Mr. Han saw that when she attended the party, she either wandered around with the maids and servants, or casually flipped through an ancient book. She did not join in the poetry appreciation and lyrics appreciation of the literati at all, so he just thought that she looked down on these mundane works.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Mr. Han keeps inviting Liu Buqi and he keeps accepting the invitations. They can be considered a good match for each other. The main thing is that Liu Buqi feels very happy!
On this day, when Liu Buqi came to the poetry meeting again with the invitation, he found that a group of scholars he had never seen before suddenly appeared from nowhere, filling the entire bookstore!
Relying on her big body, Zhang Xiruo grabbed a good seat on the second floor. Just as she picked up a book and started reading it with relish, she heard thunderous cheers coming from downstairs!
With the mentality that it would be a waste not to watch the excitement, Liu Buqi quickly looked for the source of the "joy" downstairs.
On a four-cornered platform downstairs that was surrounded by people, there was a woman and two men sitting in each corner, and Mr. Han was standing in an empty corner.
"So it's a poetry competition! It's so rare that a beautiful woman would come on stage."
Liu Buqi actually disdained the so-called literary interest of poetry competition. Several grown men were arguing with each other with red faces to see who was better, but in the end, most of their works were just awkward poems written to suit the occasion!
It would be fine if it was just for self-entertainment, but in Jinan City or most places in the entire Taiyue except for the border areas, this pretentious style of poetry has become the style of literati!
This is really speechless. Since Liu Buqi traveled to this era, he has basically never left the territory of Youzhou. The people and things he has come into contact with are only soldiers and wars.
The only few scholars I know of are all capable of picking up guns, riding horses, and going into battle to kill the enemy, such as Yue Lingxi!
But when I arrived in the prosperous city of Jinan, I found myself to be a non-mainstream person, and the most popular thing was the whining everywhere!
Of course, no matter how I think about it, I have no ability to change these things. It's rare for a woman to go on stage to compete in poetry, so I'll just watch the fun!
"No wonder, no wonder, I was wondering why there were so many people here today! It seems they came here just to see the beauties!"
The only woman on the poetry competition stage was a true beauty! Her elegant and graceful yellow palace dress was clearly worth a fortune, with delicate skin and a slender figure.
Especially her delicate facial features are extremely attractive, and the light rouge leaves a subtle blush on her fair cheeks. What's even more infuriating is that although she is so thin, she has a great figure!
Especially when she opened her cherry lips and slowly recited the poem in a lazy voice that made people confused, her expression and demeanor made not only the men but even Liu Buqi herself feel that this was the ultimate beauty in the world!
Every time Mr. Han asked a question, this woman would finish it quickly, and her every frown and smile would always cause thunderous applause!
Of course, both this woman and the other two men who competed in poetry still created some love poems and exclamations that sounded dull.
At this time, the sharp-eyed Liu Buqi discovered that Bai Jinjing, who had just entered from outside, was blocked by the crowded crowd and could not move, so he hurriedly called Zhang Xiruo beside him to go and meet her!
Zhang Xiruo, a man who dotes on his wife, quickly pushed this group of weak scholars aside. Although he made a way for his fiancée, it also caused a commotion.
The woman on the stage who had finished writing the assigned poem also noticed the commotion here. Her eyes followed the steps of Zhang Xiruo and Bai Jinjing and she found Liu Buqi sitting on the second floor!
Then she casually waved to Mr. Han to come over. After the two of them lowered their heads and exchanged a few words, a gleam of light flashed in the woman's eyes.
The news Bai Jinjing brought back from the tavern was bad! General Wang Changling had been wounded by an arrow while pursuing the retreating Steppe Khanate troops. The situation was not optimistic!
This veteran is of immense practical significance to Yue Lingxi, and there must be no mistakes!
He shook his head in frustration. Now he no longer had the nerve to watch the fun! Let Zhang Xiruo lead the way, and Liu Buqi went straight downstairs and headed home!
"Mr. Liu, please stay!" A sudden and lazy voice came from the poetry competition stage. Liu Buqi, who was thinking about something, turned a deaf ear to it. It was not until he reached the door that he was stopped by two strong men!
Zhang Xiruo's scarred face frowned, and just as he was about to take action, a strong man spoke first.
"My young lady invites Mr. Liu!" Turning around to look at the woman who had stood up on the stage, Liu Buqi was a little suspicious, "Is there something wrong?"
"I recently heard that the Lu family in Jinan Prefecture had a concubine who was very good at writing poetry. I didn't expect to run into her here today!"
"I don't know, could Master Liu please give me some advice?"
Exposing her concubine's identity in public was a naked humiliation! Calling her "Master Liu" all the time was a naked attempt to incite hatred among the scholars present!
Liu Buqi, whose face was already a little gloomy, was very puzzled!
"Have I offended her in some way?"
