Chapter 667 Legendary Story
Although Lin Yue knew nothing about these ancient skills, she had a good memory and was willing to work hard. Under the careful guidance of her teacher, she gradually mastered some of the tricks. Every afternoon, Lin Yue sat in the pavilion in the garden and gently stroked the zither. Although the sound of the zither was still a little unfamiliar, it had a unique charm in this quaint environment. The maids on the side praised softly, and Lin Yue felt happy when she heard it. However, the days of this wealthy family were not all smooth sailing. Lin Yue discovered that there were some contradictions within the Su Mansion. His father, Su Zhenguo, was often away from home fighting, and his mother, Liu, was in charge of the family affairs. But Su Zhenguo's concubine, Li,
She has always been dissatisfied with Liu's control of power and often stirs up trouble in the mansion. Li gave birth to a son named Su Yi, who is a few years younger than Lin Yue. Li wanted her son to get more love and resources, so she was quite hostile to Lin Yue, the legitimate daughter. One day, Lin Yue was admiring flowers in the garden and happened to meet Li and Su Yi. Li said sarcastically: "Oh, Miss, you are in a good mood today. All the flowers in this garden are compared with you." Lin Yue was unhappy, but thinking of her status, she still responded politely: "Auntie, you are too kind. The flowers in this garden are delicate and beautiful. How dare my daughter compare with them." Su Yi snorted coldly: "Sister only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, how can she appreciate the beauty of these flowers." Lin Yue was angry when she heard it, but she still resisted it. Another time, at Lin Yue's birthday banquet, Li deliberately arranged Su Yi to show his talent in front of everyone, trying to steal Lin Yue's limelight. Su Yi's sword dancing skills are indeed good, winning rounds of applause from everyone. Li looked at Lin Yue with pride, her eyes full of provocation. Lin Yue stood up and said calmly, "My brother's swordsmanship is superb, and I admire him. Today is my birthday, and I want to present a song for everyone." After that, Lin Yue walked to the piano table and played a song "High Mountains and Flowing Water". She has been practicing diligently recently, and her piano skills have made great progress. The melodious sound of the piano echoed in the hall, and everyone was fascinated by it. After the song was played, there was thunderous applause. Liu smiled with relief, while Li's face turned pale. As time went by, Lin Yue's life in the Su Mansion gradually got on track. Not only did she adapt to the identity of a rich family, but she also won the respect of the people in the mansion with her wisdom and kindness. One day, her father Su Zhenguo returned triumphantly. Lin Yue was nervous and excited when she saw this majestic general for the first time. Su Zhenguo looked at his daughter, who had grown up to be a beautiful girl, with a loving face, and asked Lin Yue about her well-being. Lin Yue felt the long-lost fatherly love, and her heart was full of warmth. During her days in the Su Mansion, Lin Yue did not forget to improve herself. She often read ancient books and learned ancient cultural knowledge. She also used some of her modern concepts to make suggestions for the Su Mansion. For example, she suggested opening a private school in the mansion so that all children in the mansion could receive education, regardless of gender. This suggestion was strongly supported by Su Zhenguo and Liu. After the private school opened, Lin Yue taught in person and taught the children some modern knowledge and concepts, and the children admired her very much. Lin Yue knew that it was a blessing for her to travel here, and she had to cherish this hard-won life. During her days in the Su Mansion, she enjoyed both the luxury of fine clothes and food, and also faced the challenge of family conflicts. But with her own efforts and wisdom, she found her own place in this ancient world and wrote her own legendary story. As time went by, she looked forward to what kind of excitement was waiting for her in the future.
Traveling through the Song Dynasty: Lu Kang's legendary rise to fame through poetry
Lu Kang felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and his head was dizzy, and his body fell rapidly and uncontrollably. When he finally came to his senses, he found himself in an ancient street. The houses on the street were all wooden structures, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings. On the street, pedestrians were bustling, men were wearing long robes and square scarves on their heads; women were wearing skirts, with high buns and exquisite pearl hairpins. "Where is this? Why am I here?" Lu Kang muttered to himself, full of fear and confusion. He looked down at himself, wearing a coarse linen shirt, which was out of tune with the gorgeous clothes of the people around him. At this time, an old man passing by saw that he looked flustered, so he kindly asked: "Young man, what's wrong with you? You look confused, are you lost?" Lu Kang quickly grabbed the old man's sleeve and asked anxiously: "Old man, may I ask where this place is? What dynasty is it now?" The old man stroked his beard and said: "This is Tokyo Bianliang, and now it is the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty." "Reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty?" Lu Kang's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he had traveled to the Song Dynasty. After a brief panic, Lu Kang gradually calmed down. Since he was here, he thought, since he had traveled here, he should find a way to survive first. Lu Kang found that he was in a bustling market with many shops on the street selling various goods. He touched his body and found that he only had a few copper coins, which was obviously not enough to make a living. Just when he was worried, he suddenly heard someone talking next to him: "Have you heard? There will be a poetry conference in the city recently. The winner will not only get a generous reward, but also get a position in the court." "Yes, this is a good opportunity to stand out. I wonder which talented people will emerge this year." Lu Kang's heart moved. He had a strong interest in poetry in modern times and had accumulated a lot of classic poems on weekdays. Now that he has traveled to the Song Dynasty, this poetry conference may be an opportunity to change his destiny. So he decided to sign up for the poetry conference. In order to prepare for the poetry conference, Lu Kang asked around for information, learned about the rules of the competition and previous winning works. He also found a private school, borrowed some poetry books, and studied hard day and night. Although he has modern memories, he still doesn't know enough about the poetry style and cultural background of the Song Dynasty, and needs to make up for it. Finally, the day of the poetry conference arrived. Lu Kang arrived at the competition venue early. It was a magnificent pavilion called "Wenyuan Pavilion". Many scholars and writers gathered in front of the pavilion. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding poetry scrolls, exchanging their thoughts on poetry, and each of them was determined to win. Lu Kang was wearing simple clothes, which made him look a little out of place in the crowd, but his eyes were firm and full of confidence. The competition began, and the first round was poetry recitation. The topic was given by the host on the spot, and the contestants needed to recite the relevant poems within the specified time. This was a piece of cake for Lu Kang, who easily coped with it with his modern memory. Whether it was Li Bai's bold poems or Du Fu's melancholy works, he could recite them word for word.
