Chapter 18: Jokes
At the end of the day, the people in the pear orchard were noisy, and the wine had passed seven rounds, taking advantage of the wine, everyone's poetry became more and more high, and the masterpieces were frequent, and Li Shaoqing looked at it with a smile. The reputation of this Wenhui was out, and he, the prefect, could barely stand firm and take a breath.
Chen Ziyun sat in the pavilion, coldly watched everyone chanting poems with great interest, climbing and talking to each other, took a sip of wine, retracted his gaze, signaled the little servant to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, pondered for a while, Fang took the pen and wrote a small order, got up and showed it to Zhong Yu: "The kid is only a shallow learner, he barely writes a few sentences, and I don't know whether it is good or not, and I ask Mr. for advice." β
The people in the pavilion were all stunned, Li Shaoqing didn't hold back, almost coughed, didn't wait for everyone to look over, hurriedly turned his head and quickly covered his mouth, took a breath, and cautiously glanced at Wei Jingyan, who still had that polite and detached smile on his face, and couldn't see the slightest joy or anger.
Xu Shiheng only glanced up at Zhong Yu, then glanced at Chen Ziyun from the corner of his eye, sneered, and dragged Lu Yudong to pull up.
When the people at the table closer to the Surabaya Pavilion saw this scene, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they whispered to each other.
Zhong Yu raised his eyes to look at Chen Ziyun, who was standing in front of him respectfully, and was looked at by a group of students, and was forced to almost get off the stage, and snorted with an extremely ugly face. A hairy boy who didn't understand anything wanted to use his fame to be in the limelight, did he really think that his Chen family could cover the sky with one hand in the south?
After taking the rice paper and taking a look, Zhong Yu's anger was finally smoothed out, although the Chen family kid was not kind, this little order was written with some charm, but it was a pity that his pride and ambition were narrower after all. Thinking about it, Zhong Yu didn't open his mouth to comment, and handed the rice paper to Li Shaoqing below with a faint expression, "Let's take a look!" β
Li Shaoqing took a breath, hesitated for a while, and was trembling by Zhong Yu's cold gaze, so he had to take the rice paper hard, read it from beginning to end, and read it again, Yu Guang paid attention to the expressions of several masters, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan is a rough person, looking at this word, I think of the wine I just drank, I only feel that the aftertaste is endless, but I can't say one, two, three." You have to ask the big guys to comment on it. As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Ziyun again, and seeing that there was no displeasure on the latter's face, Li Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the small order to Lu Yu, and motioned for Lu Yu to transcribe it and distribute it to the great Confucian talents in the courtyard.
Xu Shiheng didn't have anyone to speak, he raised his chin and read two sentences, the jade fan in his hand was waving, and the wine came up for a while, so he simply raised his hand and called a little girl over, said goodbye to Wei Jingyan and the others, and turned around to go to the back corner tower.
It was very quiet in the corner tower at this time, and the little girl respectfully led Xu Shiheng up the corridor, bypassing the room where Wen Qinggui was resting, and was just about to walk forward, but saw Xu Shiheng raise his hand and rub his brows and stopped.
The little girl hurriedly took two steps back, and explained to Xu Shiheng with a smile: "Second master, there are people in this house, your house is in front, our shopkeeper has already arranged it, and has also prepared a sobering soup......
As he was talking, there was a very ambiguous muffled sound in the room, Xu Shiheng raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to stop the little girl's words, there was some excitement and gossip in his eyes, and he pointed at the little girl with a fan and asked, "Who is in this room?" β
"This ......" the little girl pulled her sleeves in embarrassment, and said vaguely, "The slave and maid don't know much, so I just looked at Fang Cai like Uncle Wen coming here, and the shopkeeper also specially explained to the slaves and maids not to disturb the nobles' purity......"
Before the words fell, the voice in the room suddenly became high-pitched, and in the quiet corner tower, through the thick door, this undulating muffled hum loomed into people's ears, which was extremely beautiful. The little girl blushed and looked at Xu Shiheng as if begging for mercy: "Second master, look at this ......"
"What are you afraid of, you are still here!" Xu Shiheng waved his hand nonchalantly, and leaned to the door to listen carefully to the movement inside, his face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because he had too much wine or was too excited.
Just as he could hear it, the door "squeaked" and opened a crack inside, Xu Shiheng almost stumbled down, but fortunately he was quickly helped by the little girl, and then he came back to his senses and stood up, stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little brighter, he staggered over, raised his foot and kicked the door open, and the situation in the house was unobstructed in an instant.
The little girl looked at her coldly, and suddenly let out an "ah", fell back to the ground in a panic, took a shuddering breath, and turned her head and ran away in fright.
Xu Shiheng didn't have the time to take care of others at this time, his eyes were wide, and he looked at the people in the room in a daze, and he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter, and fell to the ground holding his stomach with his stomach in laughter.
When the people in the corner tower heard this movement, they all rushed over in surprise, and they were all stunned when they saw itβtwo men in the room were wrapped in white stripes, one was the well-known uncle of the Wen family, Wen Qinggui, and the other was forty or fifty years old, and he looked extremely sloppy. The situation is simply chaotic and moral, and it makes people sick to their stomachs.
Everyone was so shocked by this scene that the three souls lost their six souls, and they were stunned for a long time, and suddenly broke out into a sigh. Wen Qinggui's little servant Fu'an turned back from the back of the firewood room with a satisfied face, and when he saw this battle, his intuition was not good, and then he looked into the room with the door wide open, and suddenly his face was colorless with fright, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah".
Tan Sanniang hid behind the room and looked at this lively scene coldly, snorted with satisfaction, and went to the attic to find Lu Ran silently.
This noisy and shocking kung fu spread to the pear orchard in the blink of an eye, and the literati who were still appreciating and complimenting Chen Ziyun just now were all dumbfounded when they heard the news in the corner tower, and looked at Chen Ziyun unconsciously, and their faces gradually became strange. The courtyard was silent for a while, Chen Ziyun was so angry that his face was pale, and the fire pressure in his eyes couldn't be suppressed, so he glanced at the little guy with his wrong teeth, and the little guy understood and ran quickly to the back corner tower.
In less than half an hour, the pickled matter of Wen Qinggui, the uncle of the Wen family, secretly having fun with the old steward around him behind his back at the literary meeting, spread throughout the entire Baohe Building, and even the ladies in the Xishui Corridor Pavilion listened to the news, mixed with some unspeakable gossip, such as Uncle Wen was willing to be a plaything and let the steward do mischief, and for example, the steward was extremely ugly and lost Uncle Wen's vision to be "different", and so on, as much as it was unbearable.
Chen Ziyun stood in the Surabaya Pavilion calmly, suppressed the fire and suppressed it, arched his hand towards the people in the pavilion, and said in a muffled voice: "The Wen family has no way to teach the son, and such an ugly thing happened, which made everyone laugh." As he spoke, he turned to the talented people in the courtyard and raised his hand politely, "The master will not disturb the Yaxing of all the people, and say goodbye first!" β
