Chapter 113: A Sparrow
Today, the weather was fine, and the Autumn Girl led the group all the way to a wide water pavilion, which was surrounded by pavilions and blooming plum trees, forming a beautiful gathering space.
Waiting for the group to walk through the winding corridor to the entrance of the corner of the water pavilion, the pavilion was almost full of guests, and at this time they all stood up to greet them, only a dozen empty seats remained in the north head, which seemed to be prepared for Liu Fan and others.
Liu Fan said depressedly, "Miss Qiuhua, isn't it just a drink, there are so many people?" ”
"Drinking should also talk about an atmosphere, General Liu came thousands of miles away, and the concubine was afraid that she would despise the general, so she notified a few friends to come together to cheer the general."
After a little introduction by Miss Qiuhua, among the more than 20 people waiting in this water pavilion, it was divided into three distinct groups, the east is Hou Yaowen, Wu Youde and others headed by the four major talents in the capital series, in addition to the two of them, among the four talents, there is also Pan Dongzi, the son of Pan Wenyuan, the secretary of the ministry, and the other is Ling Han's brother Guo Lingchen, but Guo Lingchen did not show up today, he has rarely participated in such gatherings, and although Xu Shen is also very talented, but the name is still slightly inferior to the four people, as the saying goes, 'Wen has no first, As for who among the four people comes first, it can only be the opinion of the benevolent and the wise.
There are more people in the south, adding up to more than a dozen people, but all of them are women, it is the Oiran series of the four major Qinglou in Beijing represented by Qiuhua, in addition to Qiuhua, there are still the hibiscus girls of the Huancai Building, the Yunshen girls of the Piaoxiang Courtyard, the Yuhe girls of the Flower Pavilion ......, and the Furong girls of the Huancai Building and the Yuhe girls of the Yuhua Pavilion are younger, it is estimated that they are about sixteen years old, but they are the new Qinglou Oiran, in fact, Qiuhua and Yunshen are not very old, the oldest Qiuhua is only nineteen years old this year, introduced by Qiuhua, The Hibiscus girl turned out to be the younger sister of Narcissus, and the former Oiran of the Flower Pavilion had only married Zheng Qi, the head of the household, as a concubine a few months ago.
The six or seven people in the west are all young sons, the leader is less than twenty years old, although he is handsome, but his face is with a ruffian, Qiuhua quietly told Liu Fan, this is Yang Yu, the son of today's Zuo Xiang, sitting next to it is Huang Sheng, the king of Yanzhou County, and Han Shuyu, the son of Dali Siqing, the three of them are all famous gentlemen in the capital, and occupy three seats in the four major gentlemen in the capital. Immediately uninvited, these people have a lot of power behind them, and the servants don't dare to stop them at all.
Waiting for a group of people to finish the ceremony, the maids of Qunfang Pavilion have already laid out the side dishes and various snacks and fruits for drinking, and the Qiuhua girl got up and put the lamp with both hands, and said softly, "The concubine is destined to know General Liu, and she admires the heroism of the general, and admires the general's peerless talent, so after returning from Liangzhou, she will go to visit the general twice and fail to be a pity, so that yesterday I heard the news from Hou Gongzi that the general had arrived in the capital and wanted to come to the Humble House to fulfill the last agreement. The concubine was a little excited and carried away, and sent a servant to send a message to the sisters to come here early this morning. ”
"As for Yang Gongzi and Hou Gongzi and others, they are also the best friends of the concubine, the general doesn't have any scruples at all, today you have to talk and count, it is best to rest when you are drunk, and the concubine will respect the general and his party and all the friends sitting there." As he spoke, he raised his lamp and drank it all.
Seeing that the girl Qiuhua drank it all, more than 30 people in the pavilion stood up and drank it together. Waiting for the Qiuhua girl to salute three times, Hou Gongzi saluted three more, and when Xu Shen picked up the wine cup and was about to speak, Yang Yu, the prime minister who was sitting on the throne of the west head, stood up and said, "Qiuhua everyone, what's the meaning of respecting you like this, I think General Liu and his entourage are also refreshing people, why don't we make a wine order, and drink according to their ability, otherwise General Liu and others will complain that we are not victorious when they are drunk, and it doesn't show the literary talent of all the talented and beautiful people, right?" ”
As soon as Yang Yu finished speaking, he immediately attracted a round of applause from everyone in the pavilion, this is the truth, I heard that this General Liu is the author of the song head of the water tune, and the people in a small place have made such beautiful poems, so that the literati in the capital can't raise their heads for two or three months, I heard that this person has not read much, although the original Ministry of Rites and Rites Lord Jiang and the Ministry of Officials Pan have said that this poem has never appeared before, but this does not mean that this poem must have been written by this person, Today is just the opportunity to see if this person is really talented.
Now that Yang Gongzi has put it forward, everyone just pushed the boat along the river, and unanimously agreed that it would be disrespectful to General Liu and others not to take poetry as an order in front of everyone like General Liu. Today, the wind and the sun are beautiful, dozens of plum trees around are competing to bloom, Pan Dongzi Gongzi, who is sitting next to Hou Gongzi, is even more proposed to make a poem on the theme of plum in turn, if it is difficult to make or the poem is really not good, then a fine wine.
After listening to Yang Gongzi and Pan Gongzi's proposal, Liu Fan immediately stood up and objected, "Today, a few of us are just invited to Qiuhua to have a drink, why do you have to rack your brains to compose poems, besides, you can't drink a glass of poetry and wine for a long time, I have a wine order here that is simple and easy, and everyone doesn't have to spend any brains, you can also have a good drink when you drink, I said it to see if everyone agrees." ”
As soon as everyone saw this person talking about poetry, they immediately jumped up and objected, and the previous suspicion deepened a little, and most people thought in their hearts that they must explore the details of this person, maybe this person finally showed an ugly face, and it was also a contribution to the Daqi poetry world.
But today this person and his party are Qiuhua's guests, and the others are here as friends of Qiuhua's family, and it is not good to be too persecuted at this time, so they all looked at Qiuhua and everyone said, "Today, General Liu and his entourage are Qiuhua's distinguished guests, and how to ask Qiuhua everyone to call the shots." ”
After listening to everyone's opinions, Miss Qiuhua stood up and said, "Please also ask General Liu to tell me about your wine order, if it is feasible, it is okay to follow the wine order that the general said." ”
"That's right, it's very simple to say this wine order, it's to count sparrows."
As he spoke, he immediately began to sing, "A sparrow with a beak, two paws on the wall, two eyes clear, and a tail behind the wall; Two sparrows, two beaks, four ......"
Before Liu Fan finished singing for the second time, the crowd immediately burst into laughter, and the side led by Yang Gongzi in the west was even more booed, and Huang Sheng, the king of Yanzhou County, hugged his stomach and smiled, "What is the difference between this and the lotus falling sung by those scoundrels and beggars in the market?" ”
Miss Qiuhua, Hou Gongzi and the others looked embarrassed, and they didn't know how to deal with the next scene. Only Liu Fan and his party of eight people sitting in the north were silent, Li Min, Ling Han, and Shoujing were all red, I don't know how they felt at this time, but Dong Zi, Ma Qiang, and Hai Xiancun felt inexplicable, isn't it just a wine order, this wine order proposed by my brother (Brother Fanzi) is very good, what's so funny, these people are really sick.
When the laughter was low, Miss Qiuhua said with an embarrassed face, "General Liu, this wine order doesn't seem to be appropriate......
Liu Fan doesn't care what other people think of his proposal, even if the laughter and boos reveal his contempt for himself, he doesn't care much, it's just a bunch of boastful sons, can't I live without you? If you effectively distance yourself from these vassals and elegant guys because of this proposal, it will be unbelievable, but now you obviously can't get rid of it, if that is too much to live up to the friendship that Miss Qiuhua and Hou Gongzi and others treat themselves, even Ling Han and Li Min will also receive a lot of criticism for what they have done in the future......
“…… Well, it's about plum blossoms, but I still have a suggestion, today's theme is to drink and have fun, not poetry and literature, we are divided into four teams, southeast and northwest, each team can make a poem and lyrics at will, and it is not limited to making a whole song, that is, to make one or two sentences as long as everyone thinks it is a good sentence, after the evaluation, the first and second people do not need to drink, the third team each drinks a lamp, the fourth team each drinks a bowl, of course, if it is the beauty team of Qiuhua, it will be halved.
