In the era of great unification, the Ming Dynasty was relatively special. This specialness came from all aspects. For example, the combination of politicians and talented men often appeared in other eras, but it was rarely seen in the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Cao Mengde, who wrote "Short Songs" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling, who wrote "The bright moon grows on the sea, and the ends of the world share this time", and Wang Anshi, who wrote "There is no snow in the distance, but the fragrance comes from the dark fragrance."

Even if they abandon their political achievements, they can be kept in history by just poetry and prose.

But in the Ming Dynasty, similar situations never happened. From the beginning to the end, almost no cabinet masters left famous poems in history.

Of course, there are objective reasons for this. After all, the Han, Tang and Song dynasties had finished writing everything they could. Later generations really had no choice. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty used eight-legged essays to win scholars, and good literary talent might not be able to write well.

Therefore, although the literati of the Ming Dynasty also wrote poems, they focused more on other aspects. For example, Li Zhuowu had to comment on the narrative, such as Xu Wei and Tang Xianzu, who were both quite successful in operas.

However, officials in high positions will not follow the crowd, and they have two choices.

One is the unique study of mind in the Ming Dynasty.

The other is poetry commentary.

I can't write good poems, but I can evaluate whether a poem is good or bad... Actually, this is a very rogue thinking mode, but it was quite popular in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shizhen actually controlled the literary world for twenty years with this. Personally, he had not many popular works passed down from generation to generation... This is to assume that he was not Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng.

Xu Jie is good at both aspects, so when he saw the sentence "Fallen red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers", he easily judged that it could not have been written by his daughter.

Zhang was still talking excitedly, "The Qian family was stunned at that time. He was shocked and kept asking who wrote it... He was absent-minded, and it was said that he almost fell down when he went out."

Xu Jie's eyes fell on the paper on the table again, and he muttered again, shook his head and asked, "Whose poem is it?"

"Written by Can Yat."

"Um?"

Zhang didn't dare to stubborn anymore, and hesitated for a while before whispering: "It's Xiaoqi...it's said that he wrote casually."

From the name, we can see the difference between the two. Miss Xu Si named Can, but Xiao Qi has no official name yet, because she was born at Qi Jin and Qi Liang and got Xiao Qi's nickname, and has been used until now.

However, there are more than just Xu's family in similar situations. Qian Yuan's sister is already thirteen years old and has no name, only the name of a young girl.

Even the later Emperor Wanli noted Zhu Yijun's name until the second year of his father, Emperor Longqing, ascended the throne and was about to become the crown prince. He was five years old at that time!

"Huh?" Xu Jie looked up and smiled with interest. "I remember that she imitated Fang Weng's Bu Suanzi last year and filled in new words, but unfortunately she only had half a quid."

This is also one of the reasons why Qian Yuanyi wanted to steal people. He was really afraid that the two poems released were spread all over the world. Not only himself, but also Zhao Wenhua and Wang Cuiqiao must be crazy!

But who wrote it? This is not the focus of Xu Jie's consideration. He asked Qian Yuan's words and expressions in the backyard, frowned and thought hard in his heart.

"Master, the girl who has been reborn is already seventeen, so I can't wait any longer." Zhang couldn't help but remind.

Xu Jie was in a very good mood tonight and asked with a smile: "Does the wife like the Gu family or the Qian family?"

"The Gu family is very dull and has no fame. It is said that they didn't even pass the county examination last year, so they were afraid that they were embroidered pillows and piles of grass." Zhang was excited and analyzed carefully: "But the advantage is that they have no mother-in-law, and their grandparents are all in their hometown in Songjiang, so they can live a good life."

Xu Jie was still thinking in his mind and asked casually: "Where is Qian Zhancai?"

"He is handsome and a Juren. Maybe he will be able to pass the Jinshi this year, but he is too arrogant and difficult to get along with. I am afraid that the girl Can will suffer in the future." Zhang said angrily: "I have never forgotten what happened two years ago!"

This is talking about Qian Yuan’s refusal to marry two years ago, but Xu Jie didn’t care about it. Others didn’t know it, but he knew it, which was also the reason why he felt that Qian Yuan was not sloppy.

"I am too arrogant and not easy to get along with?" Xu Jie shook his head and said with a smile: "If I am really eccentric, how can I broaden my connections? How can Suiyuan have many guests? How can he become famous all over the world?"

Zhang heard the tendency in her husband's words and said hesitantly: "But Fu'er, I'm so angry today... I'm still jumping my feet until now."

"It has nothing to do with him." Xu Jie didn't care what his son thought, and said with a smile: "When Zhan Cai left, he said that he would send some Songjiang pastries in a few days to relieve your homesickness."

"Then...will he mean it?"

Xu Jie pondered speechlessly, and suddenly a knock on the door sounded.

"Master, Madam." An old woman walked in with a plate.

"What's wrong?"

"The Qian Mansion has sent pastries, and several young masters like to eat them. The fourth lady asked the old slave to leave a portion for the master's wife to taste."

The woman respectfully put down the plate and went out. Xu Jie smiled and looked at Zhang. The latter shook his head helplessly. Before he could even turn his horoscope, his heart was no longer at home.

I specially asked the servant to send a copy to the study, but it was Miss Xu Si who was hinting at something.

This is not a good thing for Zhang.

But for Xu Jie, this was a hint given by Qian Yuan.

Zhang was angry and refused to eat it. Xu Jie tasted it, and the softness melted in his mouth, and the sweet fragrance filled him. He couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

"I haven't seen such pastries before." Xu Jie pushed the last little bit of the rest to Zhang, "Is there such pastries in Songjiang?"

Zhang tasted it and pursed his lips and said, "I have never seen it before... It is said that the Qian family is good at cooking. The mooncakes made by himself three years ago are very famous in Huating."

"Send it so soon..." Xu Jie murmured a few times. It's only been more than three hours now, and he can't even wait the next day.

Seeing Zhang and his wife finish the pastry, they wiped their mouths and asked again. Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "This matter is for my husband to think about it again... Although Qian Zhancai is only two dozen, he is very thoughtful. The previous refusal to marry is not rude."

"Although he is just a juren, he is not very important in the court, so his marriage is not easy to act rashly."

Zhang thought about it and asked intently: "The master is suspicious, the Qian family just wants to lean on it?"

Xu Jie thought about it for a while, "It's hard to say. He refused to marry before and had a fight with Fan again, and suddenly his attitude changed drastically..."

"I think the master is too worried." Zhang smiled and said, "Mu Ai is also a common thing for young people. Although Qian's family was respectful and polite when they entered the backyard, they were very tough in their words and even took the Pan family out to tell the matter."

"It was still the two lines of poetry that Can't help but calm him down. Looking through history books, there were countless similar things, but this time it was a man and a woman who was inverted." Zhang covered her mouth and smiled: "Although that mouth was really sarcastic, the Gu family was much inferior to that person."

Xu Jie thought about it and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Indeed, no one dared to regard Qian Zhancai as an ordinary person, but he was only twenty years old after all.

Zhang packed up his things quietly and left the study room, and went straight to the small building to find his daughter.

"Don't worry, the nails are knocking tightly." Zhang whispered: "No one dares to talk about this in the future, what about that girl?"

"I've been back a long time ago, so Jin Buyao didn't want it, she just asked for the thrush." ​​Miss Xu Si helped Zhang sit down, "Xiao Qi also said that she wouldn't follow..."

"I don't dare to say anything," Zhang said with a smile: "Your father hasn't settled yet. If you are looking at each other, it should be in the first month of the year. Don't wear it too brightly, just be more elegant."

"Yeah, I'll follow my mother's arrangements."

"The Gu family is not even a child. The Qian family is already a great scholar. In two months, it may be a Jinshi on two lists. Your father also valued him very much. He is handsome and has a good cooking skills. He was good at that time."
