When Bai Fuling said this, those who had a good impression of her beauty, or those who had doubts about it, couldn't help but be greatly disappointed. It turns out that this beauty is really lying, and there are still some people who insist that Bai Fuling was forced to submit to power. Reluctantly admitting his mistake.
It wasn't that no one saw Yang Mei's poem written for Bai Fuling just now - at that time, not far from Bai Fuling's side, there were two young ladies who watched Yang Mei write those four wonderful poems with their own eyes, and they were secretly shocked and admired for a long time.
From the beginning of the dispute, they hid far away and hid in a corner, lest Bai Fuling or Yangmei would ask them to testify, they dared not offend Xia Xinxin, and they did not want to lie against their conscience. They knew that Bai Fuling was innocent, but they had no choice but to watch her being forced here by Xia Xinxin.
In fact, none of them knew about Bai Fuling... She had never been a soft persimmon!
Xia Xinxin hadn't completely let go of the tone in her heart, she was almost choked on the spot by Bai Fuling's next words.
"I was not feeling well just now. My housekeeper couldn't bear to bother me, so she wrote this poem for me. I didn't expect it to be favored by Miss Xia. In this case, Yangmei, you can write another plum blossom poem, a poem chanting Xueshi, please comment on all the talented men and women present." Bai Fuling looked at Xia Xinxin with a smile of sarcasm and contempt.
Bai Fuling's intention is clearly to let her housekeeper write two poems that are not inferior to "Plum Snow Fighting for Spring and Not Willing to Come Down". How can a maid be so powerful? Everyone else in the waterside pavilion found it incredible, but Xia Xinxin couldn't believe it.
But Bai Fuling's confident eyes made her feel guilty. A dignified number one talented woman in the capital, not only is she not as talented as the servants around the lady of the Duke's Mansion, but she is willing to degenerate and commit plagiarism. Such a scandal is enough to make her irreparable!
But now it was hard to get off the tiger, and she could only go to the dark one way.
She suppressed the panic in her heart, pretended to be angry and said with difficulty: "Miss Bai is too deceitful, what kind of place is this, how can a humble servant be allowed to be presumptuous?!"
Yang Mei was still a little stage fright at first, fearing that things would get out of hand and make things difficult for the old man and his wife, so when she heard her say "simply", she suddenly became angry.
Xiao Mi spoke again, saying venomously: "You dare not let Yangmei write poems because you are afraid that her poems will be better than yours, which proves the fact that you plagiarized her poems!"
Xia Xinxin wished she could rush over and tear Xiao Mi's mouth, but she couldn't do anything in public, she could only ask the Second Prince for help "full of grief and indignation": "Cousin! They...they are really deceiving people too much!"
The second prince also felt that something was wrong, although he liked Bai Fuling's beauty, but the Xia clan was his mother's family, if Xia Xinxin's face was disgraced, he would feel bad too. He was about to say something when a dark, thin but bright-eyed young man walked out of the group of talents. He bowed to the second prince and said, "Your Highness, since Miss Bai said so, why don't we hear what she, the stewardess, can do?" It’s a good poem, everyone should criticize it in public, so that they can be convinced.”
The second prince pondered for a while. I am afraid that today's affairs will not be good. If he expresses his position too early, he will inevitably get a bad reputation among the officials for oppressing others with power and favoring his relatives. He is going to do his best to recruit new officials. The little cousin took the risk, so she nodded.
Yang Mei was so pissed off by Xia Xinxin, she bowed to everyone present, and said: "The daughter of the people is showing her shame!" She is a good citizen, and she has been with Bai Fuling for many years, and she has long since stopped calling herself a slave. She minded Xia Xinxin's words very much, so she revealed her identity as soon as she opened her mouth, she was not a slave!
She also didn't intend to leave room for Xia Xinxin, so she read out one of Bai Fuling's immortal poems on the spot: "All the fragrances shake down and the only one is Xuanyan, occupying the wind to the small garden. Sparse shadows and slanting water, clear and shallow water, dark fragrance floating in the moon dusk Frost birds steal their eyes first when they want to go down, and pink butterflies know how to get together and break their souls. Fortunately, there is a little song to make love with each other, and there is no need for sandalwood boards to share a golden bottle."
I don't know who took the lead to applaud, and then the audience was amazed!
The realm and imagery of this poem is obviously more than that of the previous poem "Plum Snow Fighting for Spring and Not Willing to Fall". Everyone couldn't help but recite the lines in the poem repeatedly, and the more they read, the more they felt the infinite charm.
Only Xia Xinxin stood there blankly, and the poems from Yangmei's mouth came to her ears word by word, like five thunders hitting the top, and she was at a loss.
The admiration of the crowd came one after another, and finally slowly subsided, Yang Mei said: "The second "Song of Snow", the north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks, and Hu Tian blows snow in August. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, there are thousands of trees and thousands of trees. The pear tree is blooming."
This poem combines the customs of the north, and it happens that Bai Fuling came from the border town. Although it is not as brilliant as the previous one, it is really easy to suppress all the so-called masterpieces of today's so-called talents.
The crowd was full of admiration and admiration, and they looked at Yang Mei full of admiration and surprise. I didn't expect that a female steward next to Miss Bai's family would have such an amazing talent.
Xia Xinxin's ears were ringing, and there were only two words left in her mind - it's over!
After Yang Mei recited the two poems, she bowed her head and saluted, and stepped back behind Bai Fuling.
Everyone woke up from the shock, and the gazes they cast on Xia Xinxin were extremely strange, and no one believed her words anymore. The conception of any poem by the female steward next to Bai Fuling is not inferior to that of contemporary writers. There is really no need to go to extra lengths to accuse her of plagiarizing a poem that is enough to look down on everyone today, and it is so coincidental that Bai Fuling's one is missing from the manuscripts of a room full of people.
Xia Xinxin swayed twice, her throat was sweet, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell on her back, the maid beside her rushed to help her.
In this chaos, the second prince suddenly heard the sound of the wind above his head, he knew something was wrong, he instinctively stepped back and squatted down, and pulled Huang Xixin who was closest to him to block in front of him.
Huang Xixin was just a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, he didn't have time to react, he was hit hard on the head by a hard object, unable to stand and fell forward.
After stopping like this for a while, the guards brought by the second prince had already reacted, and rushed forward to help the master back quickly. Poor Huang Xixin was beaten to the point of bleeding and passed out on the spot.
Because there are many rich officials in the hall, and the Xia family pays special attention to etiquette, and pays attention to the defense of men and women. The area of the water pavilion is limited. The second prince is afraid that his guards will accidentally bump into those delicate ladies when he enters the hall. There was no one else besides these officials' children and their cronies and servants, so the guards were not allowed to follow the water pavilion, and they all stayed near the hall door, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a mess.
The accident happened so suddenly that the people in the hall were stunned for a moment before they could see what happened, and they couldn't help but let out a burst of screams.
The one who knocked down Huang Xixin was the large copper frame that was originally hung on the beams of the water pavilion to hang lamps and candles. For some unknown reason, it suddenly fell and almost hit the second prince. Fortunately, His Royal Highness has tested and reacted quickly. Pull Huang Xixin to be the scapegoat, otherwise, even if he is not crushed to death, he will inevitably die.
The more unlucky one was Mr. Huang Xixin, the champion of the new department, who was hit straight. He just wanted to get close to the second prince so that he could rise to the top as soon as possible.
Xia Xinxin, the only host in the water pavilion, was unconscious, and the others were terrified. The second prince was guarded by his personal guards, and after a moment of shock, he had a headache again. Just now, he pulled Huang Xixin to act as a substitute for the dead ghost. Everyone here can see clearly. The word spread that he worked so hard to manage " The reputation of being courteous to virtuous corporals and seeking talents is over.
The hall was in chaos, and suddenly a few people walked in at the entrance of the hall, the leader was none other than Xia Xinxin's elder brother, Xia Guoxun, the author of the picture of snow reflecting winter plums.
Just now, Xia Xinxin's nanny saw that the situation was not quite right, so she sent someone to ask Xia Guoxun to calm down the situation, so as not to lose Xia Xinxin.
This courtyard was given to Xia Guoxun by Mr. Xia Ge. His Royal Highness the Second Prince had such an accident in his property. The champion of the new division was seriously injured and passed out. In comparison, Xia Xinxin blatantly plagiarized the poems of a servant of the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion. It's a big deal, Xia Guoxun is well-known as a young and mature man, and he couldn't help but change his face when facing this series of troubles.
However, he quickly calmed down, sent someone to invite a doctor to treat Huang Xixin, and at the same time sent someone back to Beijing to report the matter to his grandfather Xia Guolao, and ordered the servant girls to take good care of Xia Xinxin, before walking in front of the second prince apologize.
The second prince waved his hand and said: "I have nothing to do in the palace, but it has caused everyone to be frightened. Cousin will send the guests away first, and then slowly and thoroughly investigate this matter."
Xia Guoxun secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was afraid that the second prince would think that someone had intentionally assassinated him, and would launch an attack on the spot and demand that all the guests in the waterside pavilion be detained for investigation, then things would be even more troublesome, the guests invited today are all either rich or expensive If they insist on keeping them for questioning, their parents will find it difficult to deal with them. And once something is found out, many people will be implicated, and they must be fried in the court.
The second prince actually felt that this accident was strange, and he also wanted to find out who was behind the scenes. However, according to past experience, some people may not be able to deal with it even if they are found out. Rather than offending people because of this, it is better to be tolerant and fight a good name. He still has to worry about Huang Xixin's aftermath work, and he doesn't want to make his reputation worse.
Yangmei, Bai Guo, Grandma Yun and others kept Bai Fuling firmly in the middle, followed the grandma who saw off the guests, and left Xia's other courtyard, and returned to Beijing in a carriage.
There were still only Bai Fuling and Xiao You on the ebony carriage. Not long after the carriage left the Xia Family Courtyard, Bai Fuling said coldly, "Who are you? What did the accident just have to do with you?"
There was chaos in the hall just now, she paid special attention to observing Xiao You, this time she did not miss the terrifying killing intent on Xiao You's face...
