Chapter 118: Wenhui
After half a cup of tea, the stone came back, followed by Zhao Ying, who was still wearing a round-necked robe with a blue edge and a white body, with a pale pink palace silk tied around her waist, which looked particularly energetic.
"Brother Zhao is dressed up so energetically today, where is this going?"
Xu Siye knew in his heart that this Zhao Ying was here to find herself, but looking at Zhao Ying's outfit, it seemed that she had an important occasion to attend, so it was better to ask first. ”
"What did Brother Xu say, didn't I come to invite you? Today, there is a literary meeting in Lin'an City, which is an opportunity to discuss poetry and poetry with many talents. Although it is a literary meeting, it is also to meet each other, and to take care of it in the officialdom in the future. ”
"If that's the case, then please Brother Zhao wait for me, and you and I will go together."
Xu Siye wanted to find out what happened in Xu Mansion back then, and he had to rely on external forces. The more officials you can get to know are the better it will be for you.
"Brother Xu has never liked to socialize with people, why is he so active today? Before I could be invited, I hurriedly said that I would go with me. ”
"It's rare to be able to see a lot of officials who will be ministers in the same hall in the future at the party, so I want to go and make good friends, so that I can take care of each other in the future."
Xu Siye had already made up his mind, and Zhao Ying came to invite Xu Siye to go with him, how could he not agree to Xu Siye's request?
"In this case, you and I will go together, I have already instructed the kid to prepare the carriage, just wait for Brother Xu to pack up and go together."
"I wonder where this poetry meeting is located?"
"It's not a secret, the poetry will be set up on the west side of Lin'an City on the Xiu Mountain, Xiu Mountain is connected to the river in the north, Guanxia in the south, it is one of the few beautiful scenery, besides, there are flourishing trees on it, it looks very beautiful now.
"That is, how can the beauty be disappointed. Not only can I see a lot of friends in the same year, but I can also communicate in terms of words, killing three birds with one stone, if there is no Xu, I will regret it for life. ”
"What is Brother Xu talking about, will I leave Brother Xu alone?"
The two were talking to each other, and they had already seen a plain carriage stop at the gate of Zhao's mansion.
"We're here to do private business, and it's not good to be too public, so let this kid prepare a plain carriage and snub Brother Xu."
"What did Brother Zhao say? I live in Zhao's mansion, I eat Brother Zhao's every day, and I live in Brother Zhao's house, I am already ashamed, but Brother Zhao is broad-minded, and I am afraid that someone else will drive me out. ”
Xu Siye said these words jokingly, but when Zhao Ying heard that Xu Siye was outside of her.
"Am I that kind of person? If there is a bite to eat for me, Brother Xu will be indispensable, besides, you and I have a very good personal relationship, our Zhao and Xu Erfu are like grasshoppers on a rope, who can be missing? ”
Xu Siye saw that Zhao Ying was angry, and knew that what he said just now seemed to be ironizing Zhao Ying for being unkind, and he was already blushing.
"Brother Zhao is angry, it was the younger brother's improper speech that made Brother Zhao so angry, and he will make amends to Brother Zhao here."
After listening to Xu Siye's words, Zhao Ying was still angry in her heart, but she was not as angry as she was just now.
"Brother Xu, look, this is here. Here is an imitation of the Golden Valley Garden, and there is a flowing water, it is a good place to gather, today I am afraid that our old friends will come, and when the time comes, Brother Xu is afraid that he will not be able to take care of me again. ”
"Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? I don't know anything about poetry and songs, and I hope Brother Zhao will mention it more, so how can I ignore Brother Zhao? ”
Although Xu Siye has accumulated a lot of knowledge, he doesn't know anything about poetry and songs, and he can't even distinguish the so-called flat rhyme.
Zhao Ying understands his brother, and he has unique insights into the system, but he has not worked poetry and songs, as well as the Four Books and Five Classics. I didn't bring him to the meeting today to make him much of a showman, but just to let him know more about some officials who were in the same hall.
"Brother Xu is too modest, if Brother Xu doesn't have good poetry, it will be made, but he just knows more people."
Xu Siye and Zhao Ying were talking while looking for a place to sit down, seeing that their original old friends had arrived, they were already sitting on both sides of the river, as if they really wanted to imitate the flowing water.
"I said it today, if anyone can't say it, but he has to drink a big white drink, today I am the east, and I will set the rules."
Xu Siye looked at the person who spoke just now, and thought that there was no such person in this Lin'an City, how could he make him a host?
"Brother Zhao, who is the brother who is presiding over this cultural meeting?"
"He was the first person in Lin'an City to be admitted to Xiucai, but after so many years, he was not admitted to the Juren."
"Is it because he was the first person to be admitted to Xiucai that everyone respects him so much?"
"Not really. Because he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve, he was given the title of a prodigy by the people in Lin'an City, and because he was good at poetry and songs, and today's poetry club is based on poetry and poetry as the main content, so he presided over it, and everyone had no objections. ”
"Today, Shaochang Xianji, everyone who comes gives me face. In the future, it is indispensable to be a minister in the same palace, and I hope you will take care of it. Seeing that it is already a golden slanting, I will not go into too much detail, I just hope that everyone can return with a happy day today. ”
When the man had said this, he went down from the high platform in the middle.
Surrounded by bamboo forests and lush grass, it is also a good place for self-cultivation and recuperation, and because of the clear stream, even in the afternoon, you can't feel a trace of heat.
"Today, since everyone comes to the poetry meeting, they will each write a poem, so that they can distinguish the advantages and disadvantages."
After the man said this, a kid behind everyone walked out with a pen and paper inkstone and handed it to everyone sitting in front of him.
Another boy lit a stick of incense, which was short and thick, and was supposed to be for the purpose of calculating time.
Xu Siye didn't want to come to the poetry club, because his poetry and singing level is really not high, but in today's state, I am afraid that he has to propose a poem, and he was wrong for a while, and he couldn't write a word.
"Brother Zhao, how is this good?"
"Since you can't write it, let it be empty."
Xu Siye is not a person who is good at writing poetry, and now it is very difficult for him to write a poem in a short period of time. Xu Siye's heart moved, so he came up with a way, finished writing with a pen, and hurriedly handed it in.
After Xu Siye finished all this, the incense had just burned out. Xu Siye just breathed a sigh of relief, and soon this ease was broken.
"Now that you have all done it, let's read them one by one in this order, so that everyone can enjoy the strange texts."
Xu Siye suddenly panicked in his heart, he was the last to hand it in, so he was the first to be recited, and just as he was about to leave, he was pressed on the chair by Zhao Ying.
