Episode 342: The Protocol

On the right side of the hall.

In the window position, Luo Qingzhou was sitting there, talking to Kong Zhe and the other two scholars.

On the stage, a woman with a graceful figure is dancing gracefully to the sound of the piano.

Several people admired and chatted at the same time.

Song Ruyue took Bai Ling and didn't rush over, but sat down at a table behind them, eavesdropping.

Miss Tang, the owner of the cruise ship, was talking to a young man in front of her with a smile on her face at this time.

The young man was surrounded by many people, all of whom were full of compliments.

At this time, Kong Zhe was introducing Luo Qingzhou: "That person is the Bai Yulou of the Bai family in Jiangnan, known as one of the seven talents in Jiangnan, and he became famous very early. In this imperial examination, she also won the lift, and she was personally invited by Miss Tang to get off the boat. It is said that he is the best at writing lyrics, and many women in Qinglou in Jiangnan dream of it, want to ask him for a good poem, and are even willing to serve him for free for half a year......"

Luo Qingzhou glanced at it and said curiously: "Write a poem, and you can play in the Qinglou for free for half a year?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue, who was sitting in the back, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Kong Zhe smiled: "Of course, with his talent, even if he lives in the Qinglou every day, he doesn't need to spend a penny." On the contrary, those Oiran cards and so on, will take the initiative to give him money. ”

The young man named Li Fang next to him explained: "If he writes a good poem for the woman of a certain Qinglou to sing, not only will the woman's value double, but the Qinglou will also be famous, and there will naturally be more and more guests." ”

Another young man named He Wensong said with a smile: "Brother Luo, just like the song "Water Tune Song Head" that has been circulated in your Mocheng, you listen, this song is now circulating all over the country. Many people had never heard of Meaux before, but as soon as this word came out, the name of Meaux immediately became famous throughout the country, and this is the effect of good words. ”

Li Fang sighed: "As soon as this "Water Tune Song Head" came out, the other words written by the moon were overshadowed, I really don't know who could write such fairy words. Not to mention the women in the Qinglou, those literati and writers, talented sons and talented women, who heard this poem, wasn't they drunk and amazed? Our lady of Taishou there publicly shouted last month that if the author of this poem was a man, no matter how old she was, whether she was married or not, she would be willing to marry him. ”

Kong Zhe laughed: "Brother Li, if this matter is serious, I will go back to Mocheng to publicize and publicize it at that time, maybe the person named Yuemo will appear." ”

He Wensong sighed: "It's a pity that there is a peerless good poem, and I don't even know whether the author is a man or a woman, so it was circulated." If I can make such fairy words, when I go to Kyoto, I don't have to go to find a place to live, and I can go directly to live in the Qinglou. Today live in Chunhualou, tomorrow live in Qiuxiangyuan, the day after tomorrow to live in the Aromatherapy Pavilion, change places every day, change the bride to sleep every night, without spending a penny, it is really beautiful. ”

"Haha, Brother He, I'm afraid that you won't be able to stand it when the time comes."

"I'm afraid that if Brother He lives for a month, he will be sucked dry."

Luo Qingzhou saw that everyone was joking, and also casually interjected: "Die under the pomegranate skirt, and be a ghost is also romantic, maybe Brother He is willing to die of exhaustion on a woman." ”

As soon as these words came out, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and turned his head to look, just met a pair of beautiful eyes that were blazing.

He froze, turned his head away in silence, closed his mouth, and said no more.

"Brother Luo, that's a good point! Die under the pomegranate skirt, and be a ghost is also romantic! Sure enough, it deserves to be the first place in the Mocheng Branch, and it is a good literary style! ”

He Wensong clapped his hands and praised, and then said with a smile: "This time, Miss Tang invited many Qinglou artists to accompany her, as well as two Qinglou top brands, all of whom are very tasteful. Later, if Brother Luo can make a good poem, he doesn't have to go back to the room at night, and there will be beauties who invite Brother Luo to go to Wushan, hahahaha......"

Kong Zhe and Li Fang also laughed along, with obscene expressions on their faces that only men understand.

Luo Qingzhou also smiled stiffly.

When he turned his head again, he happened to see the back of the mother-in-law with Bailing, angrily leaving.

Bai Ling seemed to sense his gaze, turned his head, smiled at him, and then slashed his palm on his neck, making a head-killing motion, with a gloating look on his face.

The singing and dancing on stage finally ended.

Tang Yan'er came to the stage and said a few words, in addition to welcoming talented people and talented women from all over the world, he also focused on introducing the white jade building, which is known as one of the seven talents in the south of the Yangtze River.

When it came to Bai Yulou, many women in the audience secretly looked at the talented man, and their beautiful eyes were shining.

Next, the dinner begins.

Everyone gathered in twos and threes and began to enjoy the hearty dishes and wines.

Tang Yan'er took the maid and walked towards Luo Qingzhou, and when she got closer, Fang said with a smile on her face: "Young Master Luo, why didn't those family members come down to eat?" Do you want the maid to bring the food and drinks, or call them down together? ”

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said: "Thank you Miss Tang, they don't like to be lively, so there is no need to call them down." ”

Tang Yan'er smiled: "Okay, then I'll ask the maid to send some wine and food." ”

Luo Qingzhou thanked him again.

Tang Yan'er pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master Luo, there are a lot of excellent poems that have been circulated in your Mocheng City in the past few months, and two of them are very mysterious, one is called Yuemo and the other is called Luomo. Everyone guessed that they should be the same person, and they also guessed that this person might be Qin Weimo, the number one talented woman in Mocheng. You and Kong Gongzi are both from Mocheng, have you seen that Miss Qin? ”

Kong Zhe was about to shake his head, when his heart suddenly moved: Qin Weimo? Miss Qin?

He suddenly looked at the young man beside him again, and said in surprise: "Brother Luo, the last time I went to visit you with Brother Miao, it seemed that I went to the Qin family. That Miss Qin, can't she be from your house? ”

After speaking, he hurriedly said: "Brother Luo, although he is from Mocheng, he has been living outside, and he doesn't know the situation in the city. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yan'er and the three of them all looked surprised.

Seeing this, Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to say, "That Miss Qin is indeed from the Mansion." However, whether she made those poems or not, I don't know, and she has never admitted it. ”

Tang Yan'er was stunned for a moment, and said with a puzzled face: "Young Master Luo, aren't you surnamed Luo?" How to live in Qin Mansion? ”

He Wensong and Li Fang next to him were also full of curiosity.

Kong Zhe reacted suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly wanted to divert the topic: "Miss Tang, that ......"

"It's down to the Qin Mansion."

Luo Qingzhou said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yan'er was stunned for a moment, and her face showed an incredible look: "Rich? ”

He Wensong next to him was also full of surprise and said, "Brother Luo turned out to be in the middle?" ”

Kong Zhe's face was full of guilt, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

In these years, the reputation of the son-in-law is not good, to say that it is good, it is to eat soft rice, used to sow seeds, to say that it is ugly, it is a slave servant.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Miss Tang! Miss Tang! ”

At this time, a scholar in front of him seemed to have something to do, and stood up and shouted.

Tang Yan'er hurriedly apologized for her guilt and left.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Kong Zhe hurriedly snorted and changed the topic: "I heard that one of the Qinglou Oiran invited by Miss Tang this time is a beauty from the Hundred Flowers Country, so I want to take a good look at it later." ”

He Wensong and Li Fang both recovered their previous looks, and said with a smile: "I really want to take a good look, I heard that all kinds of stockings that are popular among women now are from Baihuaguo, hehe, those stockings are worn on the legs, they are too tempting, and they feel extremely silky to the touch......"

A few people were still chatting as usual.

However, Luo Qingzhou could clearly feel that the other two were estranged from him.

What if you get the first place in the exam?

In this era, it is all about birth, if you are born humble, even if you are talented, you will still be looked down upon by the children of the family if you become a high-ranking official in the future.

Besides, his top name is only that of a small Mocheng, and the gold content is not even as good as that of Jiangnan Zhuangren.

Luo Qingzhou didn't bother himself anymore, drank a few more glasses, got up and left.

Kong Zhe wanted to stay, but he felt that it was indeed a little embarrassing for him to stay here, so he nodded apologetically and said, "Brother Luo, rest early and meet again tomorrow." ”

At this time, Tang Yan'er was talking on the stage.

The poetry meeting officially began.

Luo Qingzhou didn't stop, went upstairs directly, and returned to the room.

Not long after he entered the room, Song Ruyue calmed down again and went down with Bailing.

I searched around the hall on the first floor, but I didn't find him, and at this time, I happened to hear Tang Yan'er announcing on the stage that he would take "wine" as the title of the poem.

All the talented people and talented women began to bow their heads and conceive.

Bai Ling walked to the side of Kong Zhe and asked fiercely, "Where is my uncle?" Was he seduced away by the Oiran of the Qinglou? ”

The three of them were stunned, seeing her pink eyes, pretty and moving, even with a fierce expression, it was very cute, and they were all stunned, as if they didn't hear what she asked.

Song Ruyue also came over at this time and asked coldly, "What about people?" ”

Kong Zhe suddenly reacted, and hurriedly said: "Brother Luo has already gone up just now, he should go back to the room to rest, didn't you see it?" ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and then left quickly.

"What a handsome girl, call Brother Luo and Aunt, could it be Brother Luo's maid? Tsk, even those daughters of everyone in Kyoto are not as good as this girl, Brother Luo's son-in-law is really enviable. ”

Li Fang suddenly sneered and said, "Still envious, didn't you see that Brother Luo was not here for a while, and people came to him aggressively?" Believe it or not, Brother Luo will definitely be punished later, and he will even be slapped by the beautiful maid just now? The beautiful woman didn't seem to have a good temper, and she was probably punished more harshly. I have a son-in-law next door, and I see him beaten and punished every day. ”

He Wensong suddenly sighed: "Hey, the son-in-law is really miserable." Brother Luo's ability, why bother, it is estimated that it is also forced by the family. ”

A few people sighed for a while, and then remembered the business of composing poetry, and hurriedly meditated.

in the room.

Luo Qingzhou was standing in front of the window, rubbing Xia Chan's shoulder diligently.

Xia Chan held the sword and stood there motionless, looking at the night outside the window, her pretty face was still as cold as frost.

Fluttershy snickers and embroiders on the bed.

"Squeak......

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Luo Qingzhou immediately retreated, took a step, and pretended to be walking and thinking about things.

Song Ruyue walked in with a cold face.

Bai Ling followed in with a smile and said, "Uncle, you are so powerful, you actually tricked Chanchan in." ”

Luo Qingzhou said: "There are many mosquitoes outside. ”

Then he arched his hand and said, "Mother-in-law, is there something wrong?" ”

Song Ruyue was originally aggressive, and wanted to question him why he said such shameless words, but in the face of his eyes, it suddenly occurred to him that if he reprimanded and questioned this kid in front of so many people, he suddenly became angry, what if he secretly ran away tonight?

Isn't that a chicken and egg beating?

Now this kid is already free, and he hasn't married Weimo for a day, so he can't relax and annoy him for a day, otherwise the bamboo basket will be empty, but it will be miserable.

Thinking of this, her momentum suddenly weakened, and a smile appeared on her face, "Qingzhou, that ...... There's a poetry meeting going on below, why don't you go? ”

Bai Ling immediately said: "It seems to be based on wine." My uncle has never drunk, so I shouldn't be able to write it. ”

This method of agitation is too naΓ―ve.

Luo Qingzhou ignored her and said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest early." ”

When Song Ruyue heard this, she glanced at Xiao Fluttershy, who was standing next to the bed, and Xia Chan, who was standing in front of the window, and couldn't help but say, "How are you going to sleep?" ”

Luo Qingzhou pretended not to understand: "What are you going to do?" ”

Song Ruyue narrowed her eyes, and suddenly said, "Xia Chan, you and Bailing go over there to sleep with Pu Jia." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people in the room were stunned, and their eyes looked at her in amazement.

Song Ruyue hurriedly said: "I slept during the day, and now I don't sleep." I'll just sit here and read a book all night. ”

Bai Ling couldn't help but laugh, remembering what the scholars had just said, Madame was afraid that my uncle would be secretly taken away by the Oiran below tonight.

Xia Chan held the sword, didn't say a word, and went out.

When Bai Ling was about to leave, Luo Qingzhou suddenly said, "Bai Ling, wait, I'll write a poem, you can take it and give it to that Miss Tang." ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue's heart suddenly tightened: "What are you going to do?" ”

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "We were able to get on the boat this time because that Miss Tang had a heart of love and talent. When she sent us up before, she also said that I should go down to participate in the poetry meeting, and if I don't write one, it won't be good. After all, she will definitely not collect the travel fee this time, and we can't owe her a favor in vain. So I wanted to write a song, which can be regarded as a support for her. ”

Song Ruyue frowned and thought about it, and immediately said, "Yes, you can't owe her a favor in vain." If you owe it, you don't know how she will handle you in the future. Qingzhou, write a poem, don't write it too well, it's going to be okay, just be so-so. ”

The corners of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he said, "Qingzhou knows." ”

Fluttershy quickly pulls out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, spreads it out on the table, and begins to grind the ink.

"Wine?"

Luo Qingzhou thought for a while, walked to the table, and picked up the pen.

Generally, the update is gone after ten o'clock, and it is too late to come back and not be able to write
