Poor Family Chapter 487

  Chapter 487 Beauty Appreciating Snow (Part 2)

  Admiring the snow is actually a winter outing. For ordinary people, the most is to go up the mountain to enjoy the snow scenery, and then go down the mountain to leave. If the conditions are better, several families will rent a pavilion together, and then enjoy the snow by the fire.

Of course, the pavilions are also divided into grades, with different scenery and different prices. The cheapest pavilion costs 10 guan for two hours, and some pavilions with the best scenery start at least 50 guan. Only the rich and powerful can afford it.

  Cao Xing spent 60 guan on this pavilion. Of course, it was not his money, but the travel expenses given to them by the Cao family.

This is a small and exquisite octagonal pavilion, about a dozen square meters, with two burning charcoal pots for everyone to keep warm, a table and warm wine, and thick soft mats on the floor. very good.

Cao Jiaojiao spread out all the food on the table, each food was packed in small bamboo dills, there were various snacks, cakes, fried pine nuts and pumpkin seeds, and of course there was a teapot, which was boiled on the brazier With hot tea, everyone sits around a small table, chatting while drinking tea, and enjoying the fairyland-like snow scene at the same time.

The seat allocation is very interesting, three men sit on the east side, four girls sit on the west side, Cao Xing sits in the middle, Li Yanqing sits on the left, Wang Jun sits on the right, Wang Jun of course wants to sit opposite Cao Yun, The seat was already taken, but unexpectedly Cao Jiaojiao wanted to sit by the brazier and eat yam eggs, so she changed seats with her elder sister, and Cao Jiaojiao was opposite Wang Jun, which really made Wang Jun feel depressed.

The opposite of Li Yanqing is not Pan Qianyun, but Cao Yun. Cao Yun is more greedy. She has been engrossed in eating all kinds of snacks and busy peeling pine nuts. Looking at the scenery, he didn't notice the pair of eager eyes on the other side.

   Everyone chatted for a while, Pan Qianyun rolled her eyes, and asked Li Yanqing with a coquettish smile, "I don't know what position Li Tanhua has now?"

   "I work in Yushitai, just a low-ranking official." Li Yanqing bowed slightly.

  Cao Xingzhong patted Li Yanqing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yanqing is too modest, you are a sixth-rank imperial servant, and you are the best among young people."

  Pan Qianyun exclaimed exaggeratedly, and her eyes were filled with reverence, "It turns out that it's the imperial censor, I thought it was a small county magistrate!"

  Cao Yun also took a quick look at Li Yanqing, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, it was really unexpected, he is still so young

  Wang Jun snorted softly, "It's just a rank six, my father is a champion general of a rank three."

  Li Yanqing smiled lightly, "So I'm just a low-ranking official, not worth mentioning."

  Cao Yun raised his brows, but asked with a smile, "Is there anything interesting for Mr. Li to tell us?"

Li Yanqing didn't want to mention the matter of Yushitai, but since Cao Yun brought it up, Li Yanqing couldn't refuse, he thought for a while and said: "Then let's talk about a case I tried! It's quite interesting. "

   Cao Xing laughed, "We applaud!"

He took the lead in applauding, but only Cao Jiaojiao responded to him. Wang Jun curled his lips in disdain, but Pan Qianyun refused to let Li Yanqing follow Cao Yun's train of thought, interjecting and laughing: "What's the point of talking about the case, let's play poetry Solitaire!"

  Wang Jun laughed and applauded, "Good! Good! Playing Poetry Solitaire is the most interesting. It's the same as last year. Whoever loses is fined a drink, and Qianyun will start!"

  Li Yanqing smiled and stopped talking, Cao Yun also smiled indifferently, and continued to look down at her book.

  Pan Qianyun said enthusiastically: "I opened the first sentence, the pupils cut the waist like a beam, and it rhymes with 'beam'."

There are several ways to play Poetry Solitaire. The difficult way is to require the end of the previous sentence to be the beginning of the next sentence, and the simple way is to rhyme the second line with the same rhyme, but the words can be different. This is called the same rhyme between the dragon body and the dragon head. Different characters, and then the following poems will have the same character at the end of the second sentence.

  Pan Qianyun pushed Cao Yun, "Mother Yun, it's your turn!"

  Cao Yun put down his book and said with a smile: "Several early warblers compete for warm trees."

  Cao Jiaojiao said anxiously: "Thousands of pear trees are blooming!"

  Although there is a tree, it is not at the end of the poem. It is an invalid solitaire. Everyone laughed, "Jiaojiao can forgive me, and continue talking about trees."

  Wang Jun thought for a while and said, "Qingchuan Lili Hanyang Tree!"

  Below is Cao Xing. Cao Xing scratched his head, but couldn't find a line of poetry for a long time, so he laughed at himself: "I'll give you a fine drink!"

  He raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, which was regarded as an unanswerable punishment.

  The next one was Li Yanqing. Before Li Yanqing could speak, Pan Qianyun asked him anxiously: "Li Yushi, do you want me to help you?"

  Li Yanqing shook his head, "Dongfeng puts thousands of flowers and trees at night!"

  Cao Yun was a little surprised that she didn't know this line of the poem, so she asked, "What is the source of this line of Li Guanren's poem?"

  Li Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then remembered that it was Xin Qiji's poem, which hadn't been published yet!

   "This. This is a poem I wrote." Li Yanqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and take this line of the poem as his own.

  Cao Xing said with a smile: "It seems that the poems written by myself are counted, and there is no violation of the rules. Ah Yun, it's your turn."

  Cao Yun took a deep look at Li Yanqing and didn't say anything. At this time, Cao Yun couldn't remember, "I want to say a line of the poem in Spring River Flower Night Moon, but I kind of forgot."

  Cao Yun smiled slightly and said, "Is it 'Luo Yue Shaking Love Man Jiang Shu'?"

   "Yes! Yes! That's it."

   "This is not acceptable. Ah Yun must be punished with a drink. Just now I was fined if I couldn't say it."

  Cao Yun had no choice but to raise his wine glass and take a sip. Pan Qianyun smiled and said, "Then I'll finish it. Looking back, Fen Dai are all vulgar, right!"

  Everyone said a few more poems and solitaires, and they were all very interested. At this time, Cao Yun shook the teapot, "Ah! There is no water."

  The steward of the pavilion went somewhere, so Li Yanqing took the teapot and got up and said, "I'll come!"

  He walked quickly towards the ice pool, which he also saw just now. There was an ice cave the size of a bowl on the ice pool, and the job was to draw water from the ice cave.

  There is a small bucket next to the ice cave, Li Yanqing carefully drew a bucket of water, he said with a smile to everyone: "I caught a fish!"

  Everyone was overjoyed and ran over one after another. There was really a small fish swimming in the bucket. Cao Jiaojiao clapped her hands happily and said, "I'll catch the fish!"

  Of course she couldn't catch the fish, and Li Yanqing had to help her. Not long after, Cao Jiaojiao shouted excitedly, "Come on, Da Scholar, I caught the fish."

  Cao Yun was so urged that she had no choice but to put down the book and walked over with a smile, "If you catch it, you will catch it. You must call me over."

  Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Miss Cao, do you want to catch one too?"

   "I'm afraid not."

   "It's okay, I'll teach you!"

Li Yanqing handed the small bucket to her, Cao Yun pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay! I'll try it too." She put the small bucket into the ice cave, Li Yanqing looked at the ice cave and whispered to her: "Put it down slowly. Go, be sure to be steady, this bucket should have been filled with spices, which will attract fish, all right! Hold your breath and wait patiently for a while."

  The two caught fish with their heads together. Wang Jun in the pavilion was really dissatisfied. He drank a few glasses of wine, and Pan Qianyun next to him sneered, "What a concubine!"

  The anger in Wang Jun's heart was immediately ignited by this sentence, "Too much bullying!"

  He slammed his wine glass on the table, and was about to get up, but Cao Xing grabbed his arm, "Yanqing is my guest, don't mess around!"

  At this moment, Pan Qianyun laughed tenderly, got up and said, "I want to go for a walk, Brother Wang, please accompany me!"

   "Okay! I'll accompany you."

  Wang Jun was furious in his heart. He didn't want to see Cao Yun catching fish again, so he followed Pan Qianyun to the mountain road. ． ． ． ． ．

  At this time, some fish had already entered the small bucket, Cao Yun was very nervous, "What should we do now?"

  Li Yanqing taught her in a low voice beside him: "Pull slowly, get up a little bit, good! Pull quickly."

  Cao Yun pulled up all of a sudden, but was still a step too slow, the little fish jumped out and fell on the ice, Jiaojiao jumped on it all at once, "I caught it!"

  Cao Yun giggled happily, Cao Xing said to Jiaojiao from a distance: "There are three little fish, come here Jiaojiao, third brother will teach you how to grill fish!"

   "Okay!" Jiaojiao excitedly ran over with a small bucket.

  Li Yanqing stood up, but Pan Qianyun and Wang Jun were not in the pavilion. He looked around and saw Pan Qianyun and Wang Jun enjoying the snow along a path.

  Li Yanqing said to Cao Yun: "We sat for too long just now, let's go too!"

  Cao Yun nodded, turned around and smiled at Cao Yun: "Shall Ah Yun go for a walk together?"

  Cao Yun was busy peeling pine nuts, he shook his head, "I'm too lazy to move, you go!"

  Li Yanqing put on a gesture of invitation, Cao Yun smiled shyly, and walked slowly along the mountain road with his hands behind his back to the beautiful snow scene on the other side.

   "Li Guanren is very skilled at catching fish!"

  Cao Yun asked with a smile, "Have you been naughty since childhood?"

Li Yanqing shook his head with a smile, "If you want to say that you are naughty, the main reason is that the family was too poor at that time. Dad often went to the county to copy books and was not at home. The family really had nothing to eat, so we had to go to the river to catch fish. Winter is on the river. Drill a hole in the ice and sharpen a branch to catch fish."

   "Oh! What about your mother?"

   "My mother died when I was two years old, and my father borrowed a large sum of money to bury my mother, and I have to repay the debt!"

  Cao Yun glanced at Li Yanqing very sympathetically, "However, if you are so poor, you can still study hard and finally pass the imperial examination. I think your mother should die in peace under the Nine Springs."

"Thank you!"

  Cao Yun bowed her head and walked slowly, and she asked again in a low voice: "Is the poem Li Guanren wrote just now, "Dongfeng night puts flowers and thousands of trees, is it complete?"

  Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, it's a que, "Sapphire Case"."

   "Can you tell me about it?"

  Li Yanqing thought for a while and then slowly said: "The east wind blows thousands of trees at night. It blows more and falls, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

  Moth willow golden strands. Laughter filled with dark fragrance. People look for him thousands of Baidu. Looking back suddenly, the man was there, in a dimly lit place. "

  Cao Yun read it twice silently, 'People searched for him thousands of times, but when I looked back, the man was in a dimly lit place. ' As she chewed these few sentences, she felt a little crazy, she suddenly looked at Li Yanqing brightly, "Li Guanren, can you write this poem for me?"

  Li Yanqing nodded, "If you like it, I will give it to you."
