Chapter 22: Poetry Club (1)
Xue Tan ignored the inexplicable smile of the man in blue, he turned to face Yin Qingqi, and also introduced to her: "This is the eldest son of the Shen family in the east of the city. Shen Weizhi. ”
Then he introduced the two black-shirted men: "The second son and the third princess of the Xie family in the east of the city." Xie Runmo, Xie Runbai. ”
Yin Qingqi had heard of the Xie family before, she was prominent and honorable, her titles were re-elected, and her literary talents were successive, and her father wanted to find someone for her to match the son of the Xie family.
Fortunately, Qi Yuan asked her to use it as a shield in the past, otherwise I don't know how embarrassing it would be to see these two sons today.
Thinking of Qi Yuan, Yin Qingqi's heart sank again.
She smiled and nodded, as if she had said hello. The three of them didn't seem to care about the etiquette of the exchange, and they nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Now that Xue Tan and Yin Qingqi are also here, everyone has arrived. The so-called poetry meeting is about to begin.
I saw Xie Runmo slowly walk to a piano and sit down.
Yin Qingqi noticed that there was still a suqin in the pavilion.
Xie Runmo played slowly, the sound of the piano was melodious, light and distant, echoing between the mountains and flowing water.
Yin Qingqi has heard the sound of the palace musicians, heard the sound of the geisha of the Jinghong Pavilion, and now listens to this Xie Runmo touching the qin, and it is a little different.
Others always bring some secular philistines, but Xie Runmo's piano life only has simple feelings.
This piece is just a pre-poetry session.
After the song, Xie Runmo got up slowly, and said to Yin Qingqi with a smile: "Since it is the person brought by Xue Gongzi, he must also have some skills. Otherwise, today's first song, let you play! ”
Yin Qingqi knew that Xie Runmo had good intentions, she subconsciously looked at her hands and quickly thought about how to deal with it.
It's not impossible to play, but I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a lot in the next few days.
If you don't play, you will arouse everyone's interest.
Yin Qingqi knew that she was already leaning towards the former, she was about to agree, but she heard Xue Tan say: "Brother Xie, let's spare us, this girl looks at Shui Ling, in fact, the music she plays is actually noisy!"
Xie Runmo also noticed Yin Qingqi's movements, and her desire to speak stopped, he could see that Yin Qingqi was going to agree, but since Xue Tan said so at this moment, although he was puzzled, he had no choice but to give up and retreat to the piano.
Shen Weizhi stood up with a smile and said, "This is not good, since you are here, you always have some strength, Brother Xue is still protecting at this time, then we can't let you."
Xue Tan knew that he couldn't protect Yin Qingqi, so his eyes also turned to her, with an inquiry.
Yin Qingqi replied generously: "Then I'll make a poem today."
This is indeed an era that respects women's lack of talent and virtue, but the Hou Mansion doesn't care about these at all.
This was completely unexpected by Xue Tan, what he said to Yin Qingqi last night was half-true, just to coax her to come to participate and distract by the way. At this moment, listening to Yin Qingqi's mouth, a poem was written vividly, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
The remaining three were also a little surprised, the girl in front of them was improvising a poem, and in the blink of an eye, a poem came out without a draft.
It was Shen Weizhi who reacted first, and he couldn't help but admire: "Good poetry, good poetry!" Since this is the case, I, Shen, will continue to follow the girl's instructions. ”
After that, Shen Weizhi pondered for a while, and four more lines of poetry appeared.
Yin Qingqi listened to Shen Weizhi's words, and carefully pondered Shen Weizhi's poems just now in her heart, which were powerful and naturally appropriate.
Yin Qingqi also looked at Shen Weizhi slightly. He does not wear his hair in a regular bun or even wear a crown like others, but he is easily tied together, and he talks elegantly, and his narrow eyes are slightly narrowed when he speaks, and he has a very lazy feeling.
Xie Runbai also picked it up.
Xie Runbai looks like his name, white and pure, full of scholarly spirit, innocent and clean but not weak, full of quaint demeanor.
His verses are as fresh and elegant as he is, but they still sound powerful.
Next is Xue Tan.
Yin Qingqi saw Xue Tan so serious for the first time. I saw his peach blossom eyes slowly raised, and between a shallow smile, a poem also came into being.
Xie Runmo has been stroking the piano on the side, showing his elegance.
Yin Qingqi understood the game between them, starting with one person writing four lines of poetry, and the next person starting with the last word of the poem written by the previous person, and then writing four more sentences.
In fact, it is solitaire in the form of verses, which is a very old routine.
After this round, there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
Those people seemed to want Yin Qingqi to play with them next, but Yin Qingqi waved his hand and refused with a light smile: "I'm just looking for someone to drink for you when I join, all of you sons are too powerful, I'm still listening to it."
By the way, if one person can't catch it, then he will be punished for drinking, and then he will start the next round of solitaire.
For Yin Qingqi's refusal, those people didn't care, and quickly entered the game.
Yin Qingqi turned around and turned his back to them. The melodious sound of the piano surrounds her ears, and the mountains and rivers in front of her eyes are high, and between the pitches, she seems to be one with nature, so happy.
No wonder Xue Tan said that he was greedy for the beautiful scenery in the mountains, which also made some sense.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of the piano stopped, and Yin Qingqi heard them coaxing: "Brother Runbai, punish wine!"
It turned out that Xie Runbai lost.
Xie Runbai was not hesitant, he generously picked up the wine glass and poured the strong wine in one gulp, which was bold and atmospheric.
This round should have been played for a long time, and everyone looked at Xue Tan and said to him unceremoniously: "Brother Xue, it's time for lunch."
You're welcome because they've always been.
I saw Xue Tan get up. walked over and told Yin Qingqi to wait for a while, and then went out along the same pavilion road, and disappeared.
Yin Qingqi remembered that they brought some pastries in the car when they went out this morning, and she thought that they were just for them to eat on the road, but she didn't expect to bring them to these people.
I don't want Yin Qingqi to be reluctant, the key is that there are still too few pastries, and they can't be able to do it at all!
Yin Qingqi wondered in his heart why these people didn't bring their own things to eat in advance, and bothered Xue Tan.
She thought to herself, too. When she came back to her senses, she found that Xue Tan's figure had appeared by the lake.
If she read it right, he carried a hare in one hand and two pheasants in the other.
Xue Tan didn't come over, so he simply sat down over there. He beckoned to Yin Qingqi.
Yin Qingqi also walked along that road, Xue Tan was wearing a white dress today, and he was standing by the lake at the moment, and it seemed that he had merged with the lake.
Seeing Yin Qingqi approaching, Xue Tan hurriedly explained: "We are used to this division of labor, I prepare the ingredients, and they are responsible for roasting." Since you are here with me, just wait and eat just like me! ”
Yin Qingqi originally planned to help, but when Xue Tan said this, he simply gave up his original idea, and they sat down by the lake together.
But Xue Tan was not honest when he was sitting, he picked up a stone from his hand and hit it into the water with precision.
Xue Tan quickly flowed into the water, the water by the lake was not deep, I saw Xue Tan bend down and put his hand in, and he actually fished out a fish.
Xue Tan handed the fish to the three of them, turned his head and called Yin Qingqi to eat.
Yin Qingqi was not polite, went to get the freshly roasted chicken breast, and took a bite carefully.
Yin Qingqi was mentally prepared for not being delicious, and after eating, she confirmed her thoughts.
Sure enough, it didn't taste good.
