Chapter 35: Merlin Poetry Society

The snow reflects the red plum and the plum is more red, and the plum lining is white and the snow is whiter!

The Xiafu Plum Garden can be called a scene in the capital, and since the day of its fame, it has made many people who want to lead the way worry. Although the Xia Mansion is hospitable, after all, this is the mansion of the second-rank general of the dynasty, and it is not something that anyone can enter if they want to, so many people can only think about it. Today coincides with the birthday of the third lady, and all those who wish for their birthday can get the warm hospitality of the host's family.

Those who are lucky enough to enter the garden are all guests who come to celebrate their birthdays, most of them are the sons and ladies of the wealthy mansions, of course, there are also those who have never had anything to do with the Xia Mansion, the literati and the ink writers, they are different from the former, most of the former are fun-loving people, just to take this opportunity to see the excitement and chat about what they have seen, and they are the real people who love plums, how can they miss this good opportunity to see the flowers?

There is an octagonal pavilion in the center of the plum garden, called the Meiyou Pavilion, which means "meeting friends with plum". Meiyouting was originally a flying eaves and corners, red pillars and green tiles, but after a few heavy snowfalls, it is no different from this world.

Xia Xue'er walked towards the Mei Youting with a familiar car, the closer she got to the center of the plum garden, the more people she saw, in groups of three or two, or watching the plum fighting wine, or appreciating the plum poetry, or talking and laughing, or frolicking, so lively! It's just that the environment is too noisy, but it is incompatible with the dark fragrance of red plums and the cold arrogance of spring.

Suddenly, two sons who were supporting each other came out of the merlin on the side, staring at Xia Xue'er with four eyes, with a wicked smile on their faces.

Xia Xue'er looked at the two of them looking like dogs, the clothes and accessories were all good, and with the lewd smile on their faces, she knew that they must be the sons of a rich and noble family, and they were pure scum who corrupted the social atmosphere! With her current ability, not to mention two drunks who can't even walk steadily, even if they stand here a hundred times more sober, she can easily beat these two villains with bad intentions to cry dad and mother!

Xia Xue'er glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, did not speak, and turned to the side, intending to bypass. Not to mention that today is her birthday banquet, there are many guests, she doesn't want to and can't do it, not to mention that she has to save her energy to deal with Bai Yining's open guns and hidden arrows, she really doesn't have time to pay attention to such a little minion.

Seeing that Xia Xue'er was leaving, one of them hurriedly said: "The girl is so handsome!" It is said that this red plum is amazing, but I think it is compared with the girl, but it is really inferior! ”

The other then asked, "Dare to ask the girl whose daughter she is, how come we have never seen each other before?" As the two spoke, they staggered towards Xia Xue'er, and the smile on their faces became more and more intense.

Seeing this, Xia Xue'er just wanted to speak, Cuizhu took two steps forward and scolded sharply: "Bold! This is our third lady! ”

"Third Miss?" The two were taken aback, their bodies staggered, they almost didn't fall to the ground, they looked at each other, and they all asked each other incredibly: "Could it be today's birthday star, Miss Xia Jiasan?" ”

"It's the little girl", Xia Xue'er smiled contemptuously and said: "Don't bother the two sons Yaxing, farewell!" "Let's take a detour.

When the two sons heard this, they instantly woke up, and they were frightened. Although they are also rich and noble brothers, they can't compare to the woman who was just despised by them when it comes to family background, not to mention that the eldest young master of the Xia family is still their top boss, and Xia Xue'er is Xia Qi's own sister!

Thinking of this, the two hurriedly turned around and said in unison to Xia Xue'er's graceful back: "Please wait!" ”

Xia Xue'er frowned and turned her head to look at the two pale faces.

One of them bowed to Xia Xue'er with a fist, and the other hurriedly did the same.

"Fang Cai is what we have eyes on, how offensive, and please don't remember the villain, don't blame it!"

Xia Xue'er didn't answer, but raised her eyebrows and turned her head. Just wanted to take a step forward, but saw the second brother Xia Xing standing not far away chatting with friends, it happened that Xia Xing also turned his head to look at this side, and saw Xia Xue'er without a doubt, so he walked in this direction after explaining a few words to his friends.

"Cher! Cher! Xia Xing was worried that his sister didn't see him, and shouted as he walked. Unsurprisingly, his actions attracted the attention of many people in the park.

I had heard that the third lady of the Xia family was peerless, but now that she has encountered it, she naturally wants to see the flowers, and for a while, everyone looked sideways in the direction where she was. And this look made the two brothers who wanted to have bad intentions towards Xia Xue'er even more embarrassed, and their faces turned green!

Summer walked to Xia Xue'er's side and noticed that something was wrong with the two of them, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

One of them hurriedly replied, "Oh? It's okay, it's okay, just now our two brothers just said hello to Miss Three, birthday wishes! ”

The other also echoed with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, yes, birthday, birthday." ”

Summer travel often traveled, made friends, and practiced the ability to recognize people. It wasn't that he couldn't hear how much water was in the words of the two brothers, and besides, these two brothers were very good women, and they didn't have a good reputation in this capital.

So, he turned his head to look at his sister. Xia Xue'er didn't speak, but smiled at the second brother, but her eyes were quiet like a pool of stagnant water. Xia Xing knew that his sister was not wronged, so he did not pursue it. looked at Xia Xue'er dotingly and said, "It's not early, let's go over quickly!" Out of politeness, Xia Xing gave a fist salute to the two brothers, and then took his sister away.

Xia Xing instructed loudly as he walked: "The third sister will not pay attention to those two people in the future." ”

Xia Xue'er was puzzled after hearing this, the second brother has always only looked at fate and talent when making friends, and did not ask about the level of the family. For him to comment like this, there must be something hidden in it. Looking at the change in the attitude of the two people towards her, I think it is because of her status. But what kind of identity is that person who dares to flirt with a woman in broad daylight?

So he asked seemingly casually: "Looking at their clothes, they are not ordinary people, who are they?" ”

Xia Xing sighed and said lightly: "The two youngest sons of the Ministry of Rites are twins, they got an errand in the Ministry of War last year, they don't learn all day long, they don't have any right skills, they spend all day drinking, and they spoil a lot of girls!" ”

Xia Xue'er rolled her eyes and sighed: "It's really two waste straw bales!" Didn't anyone come out and teach them a lesson? ”

Xia Xing answered: "What can be done, acting in the name of the old father, who wants to take care of such an errand that offends people!" ”

The military department is the territory of the eldest brother, no wonder the two of them were so flustered when they learned that they were the third lady of the Xia family, and they were also a master who ate soft and feared hard! It's just that now as long as there is no big movement, no one dares to control them, can they only watch them behave indiscriminately and bully innocent girls?

Just when Xia Xue'er was indignant in her heart, she and her second brother had already walked to Meiyou Pavilion. Xia Xing stopped and clapped his hands vigorously, successfully attracting the attention of the people around him, and for a while, those who were drinking, chanting poetry, chatting, and appreciating plum blossoms all stopped, and stopped to look at the two people in the pavilion.

Summer Xing introduced in a loud voice: "Excuse me! Please allow me to introduce the young lady standing next to me, she is today's little birthday star! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to send your blessings! ”

"Today's Merlin welcomes guests, integrating time, place, and people, and knowing that there is no shortage of talented people present, a unique poetry meeting was specially organized! Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to drink and chant poetry and meet friends with poetry! ”

As soon as Xia Xing finished speaking, he got a sound of praise.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"The second young master has a heart, and this arrangement is the center!"

Many people have already made a lot of poetry, gearing up, and eager to try.

Some people also raised the question in their hearts, "I just don't know how to use poetry to meet friends?" Second Young Master, can you elaborate on the rules? ”

Xia Xing looked at the people who were enthusiastic and surrounded him, smiled slightly, and explained: "There are differences in talent, and there is a difference between strength and weakness. It's just that since it is a poetry to meet friends, then "friends" is the key, and you must not hurt the harmony. I have ordered someone to prepare a good drunken glow, and in my opinion, how about drinking a glass of wine as a punishment for losing? ”

The mention of the summer line really got the approval of many people, and as soon as the words fell, someone shouted good.

"Good!"

"Just do what the second young master says!"

Xia Xing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since there are no objections, then our poetry meeting will begin!" ”

Subsequently, a small servant brought seven or eight pieces of Huanghuali head case and put it away, moved several altars of drunken Liuxia for backup, and the maid placed the jade wine utensils and retreated to the side to wait.

Xia Xing took advantage of the gap when the guests were seated one after another, and whispered to Xia Xue'er: "My mother has already explained, you just have to take a closer look at who can get into your eyes, and the rest is left to the second brother!" ”

Xia Xue'er only nodded slightly after hearing this, and didn't say anything. glanced at the people present, or looked at her openly, or looked at her secretly, the mother's thoughts have been successfully conveyed to the guests who came to celebrate her birthday, she has nothing to say, it is estimated that no one present today will not be able to see that this is a **naked blind date, right?

No, someone can't wait.

As soon as everyone sat down, before they settled down, a man in red stood up, first bowed to Mei Youting, and then straightened his waist and said: "I heard that the third lady is talented and intelligent, and her poetry and literature are excellent, can you show your hand today and let me wait to open my eyes?!" ”

Xia Xue'er leaned over and saluted back, and replied with a smile: "Childe, this is too much to promote a little girl, I just read a few poetry books, and I can't talk about poetry and writing, so naturally I don't dare to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong." ”

The man in red was a little reluctant, and continued: "Third Miss is too modest, your talent is well-known in the capital, who doesn't know that General Xia's palm pearl is not only beautiful as a flower, but also a talented person!" ”

Xia Xue'er smiled lightly, only she knew the meaning of this smile. Xia Xueer is indeed a rare talented woman, she is good at poetry and painting, but that is what Xia Xueer had in the past, and now Xia Xueer does not have such a high talent for poetry, and it is okay to memorize poems!

said lightly: "It's just a rumor, and the son also believes it?" ”

The man in red stared at Xia Xue'er and replied firmly: "When I see it today, I can know that the rumors are true and credible!" ”

Xia Xue'er took her eyes off the man in red, looked at everyone and said, "The little woman thinks that her piano skills are okay, how about playing a song for everyone?" ”

"That's great!"

Qiu Ju put the piano on the table, and a maid came forward intimately and added two cushions to the seat, and Cuizhu helped Xia Xue'er to sit down on the cushion, and the two silently retreated to the side.

Xia Xue'er's slender jade fingers stroked the strings, as if caressing a restless and childish child. The sound of the piano is sometimes long and long, sometimes low and hoarse, sometimes clear as splashing jade, sometimes trembling like a dragon's chant, twisting and turning, and not shocked.

Her fingers roam between the strings, like an elegant dancer, changing her graceful dance posture all the time, and like a good conductor, strictly directing the vibrating of each string.

I saw her body swaying back and forth with the melody, and the hair that fell down her chest also flew with the breeze. Looking at the people around him, the hand holding the wine glass was frozen in the air at this moment, and some people even spilled the wine in the glass but didn't know it; was originally talking, but at this moment, one by one's mouths opened slightly, but they couldn't make a half-decibel sound; Those who had been admiring the plum blossoms under the tree stood motionless at the moment, letting the snow on the branches stain their shoulders white, and never reached out to dust them......

The huge plum garden has lost its previous hustle and bustle for a while, and there is no other sound except for Xia Xue'er's stirring and gentle, soft and proud piano sound! The sound of the piano seems to have the power to breathe people's souls, and everyone is sucked out of their souls by it.

At the end of the song, some people applauded, and the applause woke up the others who were still addicted to it.

Xia Xue'er looked for applause and found the person who reacted first. It was Mu Feiyang, who was standing under a red plum tree in the distance at this moment, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Mu Feiyang didn't seem to want others to see him, and the moment Xia Xue'er saw him, he turned around and walked away, gradually merging with the snow white.

A man in a green robe stood up, bowed deeply to Xia Xue'er, and said excitedly: "This song should only exist in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times!" Miss Xue'er is really skilled, admire, admire! ”

As soon as Xia Xue'er heard this, she knew that this person was a person who loved music theory, and after bowing back, she replied humbly: "The son is too famous." ”

"It can be seen that the rumors in the market are indeed true, and please ask the third lady to start today's poetry meeting!"

Xia Xue'er followed the prestige, and saw that the person who spoke was still the original man in red, and guessed in her heart, could it be that this man in red loves poetry, otherwise why would he always pester her to compose poems?

"Xun Fang is not drunk and drunk, and the day of sleep leaning on the tree has been slanted. After the guests wake up late at night, they even hold red candles to enjoy the remaining flowers. Xia Xue'er picked up a glass of drunken Liuxia, and the aroma of wine spread, mixed with the air, and flowed into the heart! Then he said, "It seems that I have to be the first person to lose this poetry meeting." With that, he raised his head and drank the wine from the glass.
