Chapter Twenty-Four: The Poetry Meeting Begins

Today's capital is particularly lively, and the scholars from all over the world have also gathered not far from the city gate. They gathered www.biquge.info from afar, chatting in twos and threes, chatting about what they had seen and heard in various places and interesting things, and looked at the private school not far away from time to time. As the place where the Beijing Poetry Society was held, it was naturally even more crowded, but the auspicious time had not yet arrived, and it was impossible to enter for the time being, and many people were waiting anxiously outside.

Shen Qiwu, like those scholars, stood on the boulder outside the private school very early, followed by Huan'er and a few extremely strong family members. The crowd in front of her was surging, and she knew that she couldn't come alone, she was a weak woman who was afraid that she would be easily drowned by this sea of people.

"Miss, why are there so many people? Will you be able to sit down in the meeting? Huan'er wiped her face with a handkerchief, her face was red by the spring sun, and there were so many people here, her tone of voice couldn't help but be aggravated.

Shen Qiwu looked into the distance, the boulder she stepped on was the place where Chen Kebin blew the mustache yesterday, her face was expressionless, "Do you think everyone can go in?" There are only two or three hundred people here, and if you really want to go in together, I'm afraid that only the palace can fit it. ”

"Only those who have actually been invited will be allowed in, and the rest will have to wait outside."

"And what are they waiting to do here?" Huan'er was very puzzled and asked with some doubts. Since they can't get in, why are these scholars still congested here? Don't all scholars like to be pure? How did you become so fond of joining in the fun?

Shen Qiwu smiled slightly, looking at these scholars in front of him, with a slight mockery in his tone, "Because when the poetry meeting ends, the Guozi Prison will encourage them here." For these scholars, perhaps they are already very content to see the wine of the country's priest. ”

Huan'er nodded thoughtfully, burying her head and not knowing if she had thought it through.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The soldiers made way for a passage and waited for a carriage to pass slowly.

The carriage is carved with dragon patterns, the appearance is exquisite and luxurious, followed by dozens of soldiers wearing armor, at first glance, it belongs to the royal family. The carriage drove slowly and stopped in front of Shen Qiwu.

The curtain of the car was lifted open by the person sitting inside, revealing a clear human face.

"Why, you still haven't gotten in the car?" Zhao Mu looked at Shen Qiwu, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked with a little playfulness.

Shen Qiwu glanced at him coldly, very dissatisfied with his frivolous tone, and snorted coldly, "You better take care of yourself, I'll naturally come in later." ”

"Oh." Zhao Mu was a little disappointed, but quickly wiped it off his face and turned into a look of indifference. "Then you'd better hurry up, it looks like it's about to start." After speaking, he lowered the curtains, led the way by the guards, and the carriage quickly arrived at the door of the private school.

Shen Qiwu watched Zhao Mu get out of the car and enter, she just frowned slightly, and her eyes looked away, as if she was waiting for someone. As the crown prince, although Zhao Mu said it, the really important person doesn't seem to have appeared yet.

"Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer." Shen Qiwu muttered to himself, looking into the distance without taking his eyes off the road.

At this time, a group of people slowly appeared at the end of her eyes.

The corners of Shen Qiwu's mouth finally hooked up a smile, looking at his clothing style, it must be Yuan Hao, the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, who is here.

Yuan Hao walked slowly with a large group of guards, and the scholars knew their identities when they saw their strange clothes. Although the two sides are national enemies, after all, they are guests from afar, and the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty say bad things behind their backs, but they will not show it openly. A road was still given to the people of the Jin Kingdom for passage, but most of them were reluctant.

When passing by Shen Qiwu, Yuan Hao raised his eyes and glanced at her and smiled at her kindly.

Shen Qiwu also smiled back, but the meaning was difficult to understand.

She saw Yuan Hao and the handsome guard beside her talking to each other, and her eyes returned to Shen Qiwu from time to time. Shen Qiwu didn't know what she was talking about, but the guard also glanced back at this side.

His eyes were very sharp, this was Shen Qiwu's first feeling, and then his heart was cold, he seemed to be watched by a soaring eagle, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Then Yuan Hao handed over the invitation and entered with the guard. There was a rule at the Beijing Poetry Meeting that only one of his entourage could be brought with him when he entered, and the rest could only wait outside the door.

Today, this rule must naturally be strictly observed, because the prince is here, the little prince of the Jin Kingdom is here, and the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is here.

"Is there really a martial arts master?" Shen Qiwu's vest was still a little cold, and she was really shocked by the guard's sharp gaze, and she got goosebumps all over her body. She frowned, feeling incredulous.

"Let's go in too, Huan'er, you just wait outside for us to come out." It's almost time, and the important people are already there. There's nothing left to wait for. Shen Qiwu ordered the family members to wait outside, and he took Huan'er into the poetry club.

Although the Beijing Poetry Club was nominally presided over by the crown prince Zhao Mu, Chen Kebin seemed to be in charge of the rest of the private school and some specific matters. It is said that the choice of this venue is also because of the advice of Chen Kebin, although this private school is not very famous and not as good as other book clubs, but it is close to the moat, and the back of the private school is a winding moat.

There have been several large ships hanging colored cloth docked on the moat, this is the warship of the Great Zhou, extremely hard, once dominated the sea. However, later, because the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not as good as the next generation, the innovation of this warship naturally stopped. Now it can only be used as a flower boat.

Today, except for those famous talents and beauties who were invited, the big men have already taken the lead in boarding the big ship and looking at this side on the bow of the ship hung with colored cloth.

Shen Qiwu saw Zhao Mu from a distance, the lilac robe he was wearing today, wearing a gold lun, looked extremely bright in the sun, and he waved his hand very hard towards Shen Qiwu's side.
