Chapter 488: Beauty Appreciating Snow (Part 2)

Snow appreciation is actually a winter outing. For ordinary families, at most, they go up the mountain to enjoy the snow scenery, then go down the mountain to leave. If the conditions are slightly better, several families will rent a pavilion and then roast the fire to enjoy the snow.

Of course, pavilions are also divided into levels, with different scenery and different prices. The cheapest pavilions cost ten cents of money in two hours, while some pavilions with the best scenery start at least fifty cents of money, but they can be purchased for one day, which is generally affordable for only the powerful and noble families.

The pavilion that Cao Xing bought cost 60 stagnant, 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 well-boiled charcoal basins for everyone to keep warm, and a table and warm wine. There is also a thick soft mat on the ground, which is in very good condition.

Cao Jiaojiao spread all the food on the table, and each food was placed in a small bamboo locust, with all kinds of snacks, cakes, fried pine nuts and pumpkin seeds, and of course a teapot with hot tea on the brazier. Everyone sat around the small table, drinking and tea, chatting, and enjoying the snow scene like a fairyland.

The seat allocation was very interesting. Three men sat in the east and four little ladies sat in the west. Cao Xing sat in the middle, Li Yanqing on the left and Wang Jun on the right. Of course, Wang Jun wanted to sit opposite Cao Yun. The seat was already seated, but Cao Jiaojiao wanted to sit by the brazier and roast yam eggs, so she exchanged a seat with her sister. The opposite Wang Jun became Cao Jiaojiao, which really made Wang Jun feel depressed.

Opposite Li Yanqing was not Pan Qianyun, but Cao Yun. Cao Yun was quite greedy. She was eating all kinds of snacks with all her concentration, busy peeling pine nuts in her hand, while Cao Yun held a book in her hand, looking at the scenery on the mountain while reading, without even noticing the pair of eager gazes on the opposite side.

Everyone chatted for a while, Pan Qianyun's eyes flicked and asked Li Yanqing with a delicate smile, "I don't know if Li Tanhua's position is now?"

"I am working in the Censorate, just a low-ranking official." Li Yanqing bowed slightly and said.

Cao Xing patted Li Yanqing on the shoulder and smiled: "Yanqing is too modest. You are the sixth-rank attendant censor and the best among young people."

Pan Qianyun exclaimed exaggeratedly, his eyes suddenly filled with respect, "So it's the Censor, I thought he was a small county magistrate!"

Cao Yun also quickly glanced at Li Yanqing, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. It was really unexpected that he was still so young.

Wang Jun snorted softly, "It's just a sixth rank, my father is the champion general of the third rank."

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "So he is just a low-ranking official, not worth mentioning."

Cao Yun raised his eyebrows, but asked with a smile: "Is there anything interesting to tell us about Guanren Li?"

Li Yanqing didn't want to mention the matter of the Censorate, but since Cao Yun took the initiative to propose it, Li Yanqing was not easy to refuse. He thought for a while and said, "Then let's talk about a case I tried! It's quite interesting."

Cao Xing laughed, "Let's applause!"

He took the lead in applauding, but only Cao Jiaojiao responded to him. Wang Jun curled his lips disdainfully, but Pan Qianyun refused to let Li Yanqing follow Cao Yun's thoughts, and interrupted and said, "What's the point of telling the case? Let's play poetry and lyrics!"

Wang Jun laughed and applauded, "Okay! Good! Playing with poetry and lyrics is the most interesting. Just like last year, whoever loses a drink of wine, Qianyun will start with it!"

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

Pan Qianyun said excitedly: "I opened the first sentence, and the pupils cut the water and waist are like buns, and the rhyme of 'buckle'."

There are several ways to play poetry and lyrics. The difficult way is to require the end of the previous sentence to be the beginning of the next sentence, while the simple way is to use the same rhyme in the second sentence, but the characters can be different. This is called the dragon body and the dragon head with the same rhyme and different characters, and the subsequent poems must be the same as the end of the second sentence.

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

Cao Yun put down the book and smiled and said, "Several early orioles compete for warm trees."

Cao Jiaojiao said anxiously: "Thousands of pear trees bloom!"

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

Wang Jun thought for a while and said, "The Qingchuan is clear and Hanyang trees!"

Below is Cao Xing. Cao Xing scratched his head and couldn't find a poem for a while. He had to laugh at himself: "I'll get a drink!"

He raised his glass and drank it all, which was a punishment that he could not answer.

The next one is Li Yanqing. Before Li Yanqing could speak, Pan Qianyun said to him anxiously: "Civil Li, do you want me to help you?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The east wind bloomed thousands of flowers and trees at night!"

Cao Yun was a little surprised. She didn't know about this poem, so she asked, "What is the classic of this poem by Guanren Li?"

Li Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it was Xin Qiji's poem, which had not been published yet!

"This is the poem I wrote." Li Yanqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and take this poem as already available.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It seems that the poem he wrote is considered, and there is no violation of the rules. Ayun, it's your turn."

Cao Yun looked at Li Yanqing deeply and didn't say anything. At this time, Cao Yun couldn't remember it, "I want to say a poem in the night moon in the spring river, but I've forgotten it a little."

Cao Yun smiled and said, "Is it the 'falling moon shook the love of the river tree'?"

"Yes! Yes! That's it."

"This is not possible. A Yun must be punished with a drink. I couldn't say it just now, but I would be punished with a drink."

Cao Yun had no choice but to raise his glass and take a sip. Pan Qianyun smiled and said, "Then I'll finish it. Looking back at the powder and makeup, it's right!"

Everyone said a few more poems and was full of interest. At this time, Cao Yun shook the teapot and said, "Ah! There is no water."

The manager of the Pavilion didn't know where to go, so Li Yanqing took the teapot and stood up and said, "I'll do it!"

He walked quickly towards the ice pool. He had just seen an ice cave with a size of a bowl on the ice pool. The manager was to draw water from the ice cave.

There was a small bucket next to the ice cave. Li Yanqing carefully drew a bucket of water. He smiled at everyone and said, "I caught a fish!"

Everyone was overjoyed and ran over. There was really a small fish in the bucket. They were swimming around 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. Soon, Cao Jiaojiao shouted excitedly, "Come on Dashu Niang, I've caught the fish."

Cao Yun was urging her to no avail, so he had to put down the book and walked over with a smile, "If you catch it, just catch it, you have to call me over."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Miss Cao wants to catch one too?"

"I'm afraid I won't."

"It's okay, I'll teach you!"

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

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

The anger in Wang Jun's heart was immediately ignited by this sentence, "It's too much to deceive others!"

He slapped the wine glass heavily on the table. Just as he was about to get up, Cao Xing grabbed his arm, "Yanqing is my guest, don't do anything randomly!"

At this time, Pan Qianyun laughed and stood up and said, "I want to go around, Brother Wang, please accompany me!"

"Okay! I'll accompany you."

Wang Jun was very angry. He didn't want to see Cao Yun catching fish again, and followed Pan Qianyun to the mountain road...

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

Li Yanqing whispered to her: "Pull it slowly, get up a little bit, okay! Pull it quickly."

Cao Yun pulled up suddenly, but still slowed down. The little fish jumped out and fell on the ice. Jiaojiao rushed forward, "I caught it!"

Cao Yun was so happy that he giggled. Cao Xing said to Jiaojiao from a distance: "Three little fish are here, Jiaojiao comes here, third brother teaches you how to grill fish!"

"Okay!" Jiaojiao ran over excitedly with the bucket.

Li Yanqing stood up, but Pan Qianyun and Wang Jun were not seen in the pavilion. He looked around and saw Pan Qianyun and Wang Jun enjoying the snow along a small road. They were talking while walking, and Pan Qianyun's exaggerated laughter came from time to time.

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

Cao Yun nodded, turned around and smiled at Cao Yun, "Will Ayun go for a walk together?"

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

Li Yanqing took a pose of invitation. Cao Yun smiled shyly, then walked slowly along the mountain road along the beautiful snowy place on the other side.

"President Li is very skilled in catching fish!"

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

Li Yanqing smiled and shook his head, "It's a bit naughty, mainly because his family was too poor at that time. My father often went to the county town to copy books and was not at home. There was no food at home, so he had to go to the river to catch fish. In winter, he would drill an ice hole in the river and use the branches to sharpen the fish."

"Oh! What about your mother?"

"My mother died when I was two years old. My father buried her mother and borrowed a lot of money to pay off her debt!"

Cao Yun looked at Li Yanqing with great sympathy, "But you can still study hard in such a poor person and finally get into the imperial examination. I think your mother should be in peace in the underworld."

"Thank you!"

Cao Yun lowered his head and walked slowly, and she asked in a low voice: "The poem Li Guanren just wrote just now, "Is there any complete flower and tree blooming at night in the east wind?"

Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's actually a poem, "The Qingyu Case."

"Can you tell me?"

Li Yanqing thought about it and said slowly: "The east wind bloomed thousands of flowers and trees at night. It blew down even further, and the stars were like rain. The fragrance of BMW carvings was everywhere. The sound of the phoenix flute moved, the light of the jade pot turned, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

The moths and the willows are golden in their golden wisps. The smiles are filled with fragrance. They look for him in the crowd for thousands of times. When they look back, the man is in the dim light."

Cao Yun read it silently twice, 'Looking for him for a long time, when he looked back suddenly, the man was in the dim light.' She chewed these sentences and felt a little confused. She suddenly looked at Li Yanqing with bright eyes, "Prince Li, can this poem be written to me?"

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