On the last day of April, Yan Shu held a banquet at his home and invited the ten people with the best words in the previous Luoyang peony banquet.

He gathered these ten people together to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival and select suitable people from them.

Xu Yu disguised himself as a servant early in the morning and went to the front yard and knocked on Xu Pingyi's door.

Xu Pingyi was served by the maid to tie up his hair, and while letting the servant wear a brocade robe, he said: "Enter".

When Xu Yu heard the sound, he pushed the door in, and called out to the eldest brother with a smile.

Looking at his eldest brother Yushu's appearance in the wind, Xu Yu's eyebrows and eyes smiled even more crookedly. It's just that her eldest brother's appearance can't be picked out at all, and his temperament is elegant and atmospheric, and she won't get tired of it no matter how you look at it.

The so-called beautiful and delicious, pleasing to the eye, and graceful, means that she is a character like her eldest brother.

Xu Pingyi saw Xu Promise's outfit, first confused, and then knew her thoughts, and said: "Liuniang, this can't be done, Yan Sicheng opened this banquet today, many people who go know you, you will definitely expose your identity when you go, and it will affect your reputation." ”

He was the sixth out of ten, and out of the other nine, he promised to recognize at least five people, and it was a real risk to appear in it.

When Xu Promise heard this, he didn't speak to persuade him, and only gave Xu Pingyi a look.

Xu Pingyi understood, and retreated from the little people around him, and then heard Xu Promise God say mysteriously: "Big brother, do you remember the Wu lady who died at the peony banquet a few days ago?"

"Naturally, I remember, didn't my mother ask her to teach Siniang female workers?" Xu Pingyi didn't know why Xu promised to ask this, but he was a little vigilant. The voice was visibly suppressed.

Xu Yu smiled slightly, a little mysterious, and said, "Big brother." Wu Niangzi also taught me, I heard that her case has been settled, as Yan Sicheng, the case will be concluded and someone will tell him as soon as possible, I am thinking about Hu Niangzi in my heart, I want to know the result earlier, so I made this decision. If you can't know it at the first time. I will not be at peace in my heart, and I will blame myself. ”

When she promised to go to King Ning's mansion, she learned from the county lord of Jiaren that she would announce that Xu Qian was the murderer of Wu Niangzi, with the temperament of the county lord of Jiaren. Today is undoubtedly a good opportunity, with a big enough scene and the people involved in it also present, she will not miss this opportunity.

Xu promised not to tell Xu Pingyi the truth. It's really because of his temperament. He didn't have half a city. Treat people sincerely, if you know that Xu Qian was framed as a murderer by the county lord of Jiaren, today's banquet will definitely not go, and even if you go, it is easy for people to see the problem.

Although Xu Pingyi is smart, he has always been completely trusting the people he trusts, and he agreed to the promise without thinking too much, and he also agreed with her in three chapters: no words. Words that are recognized and cannot be spoken, and that parents are not blamed.

Promise listened to his request. It was clear that he intended to take all the responsibility on himself.

When they arrived at Yan Shu's mansion, there were only two people in the flower hall, one of them was dressed in brown robes, promising not to know each other, and the other was dressed in green clothes, which was Song Qi.

The Song brothers have always appeared in people's field of vision at the same time, and this time only Song Qi came, because the ranking of Song Jiao's words did not enter the top ten.

After Xu Pingyi greeted the two, he sat down, Xu Yu stood behind him, and his eyes kept looking into the courtyard.

She looked at it for a long time, and then she saw the person she wanted to see, Xiao Yuan was dressed in a black brocade robe, holding a folding fan, and strode in.

"I've seen three!"

Xiao Yuan originally had a smile on his face, but when he stepped into the house, his expression changed, and he didn't shiver with a few people present, and went directly to the table, with his usual pride and no one in his eyes.

The last time he went to the peony garden, he only left one poem, and he didn't intend to compete for the noun, but he was ranked tenth by Yan Shu, which was really unexpected, but it was also reasonable. He has never revealed it in the past, and this time he wrote a lyric at a real level, and it is normal for Yan Shu to pay attention to it.

On weekdays, he might not be invited.

It's just that today it is likely to be used by the county lord of Jiaren to slander the Xu family, promising to come, he will definitely come.

The little guy behind him lowered his head after entering the courtyard, Xu Pingyi looked at it twice, and recognized this person as Hu Ling who was dressed as a man. He frowned slightly, glanced back at Xu Yue, and Xu Yu hurriedly shook his head, indicating that Hu Ling had nothing to do with her when he came here.

Later, Fan Zhongyan, Ye Qingchen, and Ding Mo also went to the flower hall, and when everyone arrived, Yan Shu, who was wearing regular clothes, came out.

"Thank you for the invitation, I don't sell it, today I want to choose the top five from all of you to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival. “

Yan Shu had a faint smile on his face, and his gaze passed over the ten people one by one.

He knows all these people, and he also has a rough judgment of their knowledge and ability, but Dou Shi is not the same as a person's knowledge, so he has to investigate one or two more and choose the best one.

"You might as well choose one of the flowers that bloom in this season, and use it as a poem, or give words, and I will judge. ”

After Yan Shu finished speaking, he let the little guy put pen and ink on it, and observed the demeanor of several people at the same time.

He is not much older than the few people here, but his fate has been bumpy, he has experienced more things since he was a child, and he entered the office early, so he is more mature than his peers.

Ding Mo asked: "Sicheng, if we are ten of us, if we choose the same flower, how can we be good?" There are many flowers that bloom this season, but there are only a few that people are familiar with and use to give words, and repetition is really unavoidable.

Yan Shu smiled: "It's easier to compare like this, it's okay." ”

Ding Mo nodded, thought for a moment, and without hesitation, let the little guy on the side grind ink.

Xu secretly applauded Yan Shu, she felt that his method was very ingenious, not only to test the level of everyone, but also to explore their hearts from the flowers they selected.

Ding Mo was the first person to start writing, he was only full of capital, and the poems should be captured, and after a while, Bai Xuanshang had a seven-word poem.

Yan Shu didn't rush to see it, so he didn't take the poems out, just sat quietly and looked at the scenery outside the house.

Ding Mo's heart was calm, but Xu Qian, who pretended to be his little servant, couldn't stop, she stood behind Ding Mo and read his poem silently twice in her heart, and couldn't help but turn crimson.

Ding Langjun has her in his heart, otherwise how could he agree to let her be a little maid, and chose the flower on the skirt she wore when she went to Ding's Mansion today - Fusang flower!

When Xu Pingyi thought about it, half of the people's poems had already been made, and he promised that he couldn't wait, so he read all the poems of several people in the same row as Xu Pingyi.

Song Qi made a poem related to begonias: "Sleep on the jade screen, blow away the redness." The weather is suddenly light and warm, lined with agarwood foil. The bead curtain is about the begonia wind, and the corners of the eyebrows are dragged sadly. Last night, there was a bright moon in the court, and the cold swing red rope. ”

Although she doesn't know how to appreciate poetry very well, she has a good history and knows what kind of talent Song Qi is.

Among the people seated, except for Fan Zhongyan, it was Song Qi who learned the best.

It's just that she doesn't understand why Song Qi, a young man, would make such cold words.

On the other side, she saw Ye Qingchen's white xuan written: "Laughing at the smoke pile and raining Xiao Sen, the cliffs and rocks rub their feet and scatter." Remember to sprinkle the deep grass, drunk and wake up the moonrise and come to find it. ”

It's an interesting poem.

The people beside him were still thinking about it, and when they saw his poem, they said: "Ye Jiafifteen Lang, what kind of flower did you write in this poem? ”

Ye Qingchen smiled indifferently, his eyes were clear, and he looked at the person who asked him: "What I write in my poem is bamboo flowers. ”

When the man heard this, he put down the pen in his hand and laughed: "I don't see where there is bamboo, let alone bamboo, is there a flower in bamboo?"

A disdainful smile appeared on Xu Yue's face, this person wanted to find Ye Qingchen's stubble, but he didn't find the right time. (To be continued.) )
