The guests Pan Su invited were not only the children of the Wuxun family, but also many of the children of the civil servants' mansion.
The male guests and female relatives gathered together to eat, drink and have fun, recite poems and make fus, which was very lively.
Far better than the deserted streets outside.
During Zhao Heng's great funeral, the people couldn't celebrate during the festival, but they would hide in their own house, chant poems, make fus, drink and play, and would not be investigated.
After Kou Ji and his party arrived, those who were familiar and unfamiliar all got up and gave salutes.
Then he accompanied Kou Ji to say a few scenes, and then dispersed separately and continued to have fun.
Kou Zhun was on all sides of the Suigong Hall, and put the cap of a powerful minister on his head, but this did not mean that everyone had to fawn on his grandson.
As long as those who can appear in this poem meeting, they have a solid background and a prominent background. They may be afraid of Kou Zhun in their hearts, but it does not mean that they will kneel and lick humble.
How about Kou Zhun even if the right is in the hands
As long as he doesn't turn the world upside down, it will not be enough to affect the wealth and glory behind everyone here.
Pan Su found a seat next to him, placed Kou Ji and his party, and then everyone began to continue the poem meeting.
Cao Yu was holding a wine glass, and the wine staggered among them, mixing like a fish in water.
Kou Ji, Fan Zhongyan, and Liu Heng sat there like outsiders, drinking and eating vegetables, and occasionally listening to other people's poems and poems.
Kou Ji didn't often mix in circles. Even though he was a member of the circle, everyone didn't know him well, didn't understand his temperament, and didn't know how to talk to him.
Going up rashly, it is easy to be seen as kneeling and licking the Kou Mansion.
Fan Zhongyan is talented, but not enough in status and status. He is not familiar with others, so no one cares about him.
As for Liu Heng, someone would occasionally say a word or two to Liu Heng and drink two glasses of wine, but that was all.
They are more familiar with Liu Heng's elder brother, Liu Congmei, but not very familiar with him, Liu Heng.
When I ran over to drink with Liu Heng, it was mostly because of Liu Congmei's face.
Fan Zhongyan lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, chuckled his mouth, and smiled bitterly at Kou Ji beside him: "Although the wine is good, it can be like chewing wax, like sitting on pins and needles."
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and said with emotion: "I also regret a little..."
Kou Ji turned his head to look at Liu Heng and asked, "How about you?"
Liu Heng stared at the place where the ladies of the opposite houses were sitting, and whispered: "I don't regret it later, I don't know, I only know that there are two girls on the opposite side secretly looking at you."
Kou Ji raised his brows and said in amazement: "Is there anything else?"
Fan Zhongyan immediately became interested, "Which two?"
Liu Heng made a vague finger.
Kou Ji and Fan Zhongyan followed what he expected.
Fan Zhongyan saw the two girls and sighed in admiration: "A well-knowing lady, a charming and charming rich lady, not bad..."
Fan Zhongyan glanced at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "Brother Kou Xian, you are blessed. According to my observation, among these young ladies, none of them can be compared to her."
After seeing the two girls that Liu Heng said, Kou Ji pulled his face and rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Fan, where do you see that you are so beautiful and charming
It is clear that they are two spoiled and willful little girls, okay? "
In all fairness, those two girls are indeed the brightest among many girls.
But Kou Ji had a bad impression of the two girls.
Because of the two girls, one is Xiang Yan and the other is Xiangjia sister.
Although the two of them look good, their temperament in front of Kou Ji is too savage.
Liu Heng said gossiping: "Four brothers, I think the two of them are really good. People are staring at you, it must be interesting to you."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes.
Although he didn't know why Sister Xiang Yan stared at him, he was sure that they were definitely not interested in him, so they stared at him.
…
the other side.
Little sister Xiang Jia has been grinding her teeth since Kou Ji appeared, as if she had seen an enemy.
When she saw the purse hanging from Kou Ji's waist, she was shocked.
She hurriedly pulled Xiang Yan next to her, and said anxiously: "Sister Sister, didn't you lose the purse you embroidered a few days ago? I saw it."
Xiang Yan was taken aback, and asked, "Where is it?"
The little sister Xiang Jia hurriedly pointed to Kou Ji's waist.
Xiang Yan glanced at it and saw a chubby purse hanging around Kou Ji's waist. On that purse, two colorful mandarin ducks were embroidered.
It was something she embroidered and added to her dowry.
When she left it in the room, she lost it without knowing why.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't find it.
She thought it was impossible to see it in this life, but she didn't expect it to appear on someone who shouldn't.
Xiang Yan bit her silver teeth slightly and whispered: "How could it appear on Kou Ji."
Little sister Xiang Jia said angrily: "He must have stole it when his grandfather invited him to the house as a guest."
Xiang Yan glanced at his sister, shook her head in deep thought, and said, "You and my boudoir are in the backyard. He came to my Xiangfu as a guest and has never been in the backyard. How to steal
Having said that, Xiang Yan roughly knew why the purse came to Kou Ji's hands.
It must be her old and shameless grandfather, who secretly walked down from her room and then stuffed it to Koj.
Her old and shy grandfather is rigid and unreasonable when it comes to educating people, but when it comes to men and women, he has always been a shy old man and can do everything.
Xiang Yan felt that when she saw her embroidered purse hanging around Kou Ji's waist, she should have been angry.
But now instead of being angry, she is also a little shy and flustered in her heart.
She was afraid that after Kou Ji took the embroidered purse, she would think wildly and feel that she was in love with him.
In fact, Xiang Yan knew about the existence of Kou Ji a long time ago. The reason why she went into the hall of Xiangfu regardless of her image and threatened not to marry Kou Ji was also related.
That was when Kou Ji was studying with Zhao Zhen in the palace.
As their husband, Xiang Minzhong will inevitably compare them with their grandchildren after returning home.
Xiang Yan naturally learned about the temperament and knowledge of Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji and others from Xiang Minzhong's mouth.
At that time, Xiang Minzhong hadn't thought of Kou Ji as a grandson-in-law, so in his mouth, Kou Ji was a little clever, a little cunning, and a little unlearned.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Yan has no favorable impressions of Kou Ji.
Then he broke into the Xiangfu hall and said that to him.
Now Kou Ji's position in the city of Bianjing is rising step by step, and the spread of her reputation step by step has changed her mind.
In the Song Dynasty, no one would question Kou Ji's name of pure filial piety.
From the moment he built the Kou bus for Kou Zhun, his filial piety was spread to every corner of the Song Dynasty.
Then he was the guardian of Zhao Heng, kneeling and almost disabled his legs. After the spread, his name of pure filial piety became unshakable.
At the end of the year, those noble children who profited from the Kou bus donated a large number of Kou bus to the Six Diseases Museum and Solitary Garden in the name of Kou Ji, pushing Kou Ji Chunxiao's reputation to the top.
Nowadays, in the territory of the Song Dynasty, when it comes to filial sons and virtuous grandchildren, there must be Kou Ji's name.
This is also the reason why Kou Ji ridiculed hundreds of officials in the court, no one spread his rumors and slander his reputation.
When Kou Ji Chunxiao's reputation reached the top, he ran to discredit Kou Ji, not only could not hurt Kou Ji, but he would also be blackmailed for himself.
Since then, Kou Ji performed his courage in Yanfu Palace and promoted his prestige for the Song Dynasty, which was even more popular among the people.
Da Song was bullied by the Liao people for many years. Under Zhao Heng's blind protection, when the Liao people arrived in Da Song, it was also arrogant and domineering.
The people dared not speak.
Kou Ji's move greatly increased the power of the Song people, and the people naturally treated Kou Ji as a hero.
Kou Ji's reputation is growing, and it is inevitable that Xiang Yan's attitude towards Kou Ji will change.
Although I still don't like Kou Ji, I love Kou Ji, but at least it's not as annoying as before.
however.
Little sister Xiang Jia didn't understand Xiang Yan's thoughts.
Ignoring Xiang Yan's explanation, she immediately wanted to go to Kou Ji to ask a question, but was hurriedly stopped by Xiang Yan.
The actions of their sisters naturally attracted the attention of others.
Immediately, the young ladies from other houses approached and asked why.
The little sister Xiang Jia didn't open the door, she immediately told them that Kou Ji had stolen Xiang Yanxiu's dowry.
Those daughters of various prefectures were a little uncomfortable when they heard this.
Xiang Yan has always been one head higher than them in the circle of their sisters.
The combination of talent, appearance, and family background is far better than others.
It is also because of this that Xiang Yan's gaze at the husband-in-law is far higher than that of them.
They have also been discussing in private, wanting to know who has the qualifications to win such noble peonies from Xiangfu.
In terms of ins and outs, there was only one person who was finally selected.
Who
Zhao Zhen!
They felt that, with Xiang Yan's vision, talent, family background, and appearance, only the concubine in the palace, or the back position, could put her down.
They also knew that Xiang Minzhong preferred Kou Ji to be his son-in-law.
But Kou Mansion did not respond, and Xiang Yan did not nod.
Can't count.
But now it's different.
Kou Ji took the purse Xiang Yan embroidered for her future husband, and there was no trace of irritation from Xiang Yan.
That would be very intriguing.
Their gossip heart ignited in an instant, chasing Xiang Yan and Xiang Jia sisters, asking for details.
Then, after the questioning was over, the matter was passed on to those who did not know.
Then, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the people who participated in the poem meeting in the garden knew about it.
I don't know who passed the message when something went wrong.
At the end of the word, it became Xiang Yan admiring Kou Ji, and privately gave Kou Ji a purse.
Xiang Yan hid his face and left after hearing that the words had changed.
Those noble children who admired Xiang Yan were fried.
They stared at Kou Ji one by one, as if they were looking at their enemies.
If the taste changes, it will inevitably reach the ears of the three Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't explain much.
Obviously it was Xiang Minzhong's old man's mess, but he couldn't tell it to the public.
Because even if he tells the truth, those present will not believe it.
Xiang's daughter is well-known in Bianjing, and she has no worries about marrying.
How many people beg Xiang Minzhong to marry Xiang Yan.
Xiang Minzhong did not agree.
Even if he liked Kou Ji, he couldn't give up his face and do such a shameful and embarrassing thing.
Fan Zhongyan looked at those Xiangui children who looked at Kou Ji with the eyes of enemies, and said with a smile: "Kou Xian, it is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauty, now you feel it?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said faintly: "Nothing to feel good about..."
Liu Heng looked at the hot gazes of those people and pretended to be timid: "If they swarm up and want to kill you, can I run first?"
He was teasing Kou Ji.
If those people really want to swarm up, he will have to take a shot and defend Kou Ji one or two.
Kou Ji rolled his eyes again and said, "If they really swarmed up, I would definitely lie flat, lie still, and let them do what they do."
Liu Heng was taken aback, and laughed: "I forgot, you are following an unreasonable master."
Those people could not wait to poke Kou Ji full of holes with their eyes, but they really didn't swarm them.
It's just that someone spoke up and asked Kou Ji to write a poem, embarrassing him.
One by one, those people said that they were very low and insignificant.
Saying that I am a child of Xungui's family, I only know how to use knives and guns on weekdays.
They are the kind of people who speak nonsense with their eyes open without blinking.
Just now, they were all vying for poems and composing fuss. They couldn't wait to tell everyone that they learned to be rich and talented one by one.
Many people always think that most of the ancient generals and noblemen are the kind of muscle lumps that are not learning and skillful, but can only use knives and guns.
actually not.
What about other dynasties, Kou Ji didn't know.
But Kou Ji was in the Song Dynasty and had a clear understanding of the children of the Song Dynasty's noble family.
The children of Jiangmen Xungui's family, trash and dude, only have two or three sons.
The rest are talents with both civil and military training.
It's just that they were included in the ranks of Wuxun from the moment they were born.
In this age of emphasizing literature and fighting martial arts, even if they are talented, they have to hold back and endure, not show up or leak, and even pretend to be an unlearned dude to the outside world.
For example, the little guy Li Weixian.
At a young age, he knows far more than the average Jinshi.
When studying with Zhao Zhen in the palace, the officials who often asked him were speechless.
Those officials need to show their husband's identity, or use sophistication to escape from him.
A proper genius, a Jinshi, that is a matter of hand.
But he came from a family of honorable people, even if he is talented, it is difficult to follow the path of a civil official, and he can only sway in the ranks of honorable people with full of talent.
Therefore, Kou Ji didn't believe a word of words from the noble family who said that they had no knowledge or skills, or could not read or write.
People kept belittle themselves, just to humiliate him and criticize him after Kou Jiyin's poem was written.
For example, when Kou Ji made a poem, when someone stabs at him word by word, he can say: "Oh, brother Kou, I am a rude elder who is not good at writing and knows that this word is not suitable here. You are a beautiful scholar. How can you not know?"
