At about nine o'clock in the morning, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the hot air of the blazing sun spread across the earth, driving away the last cool breeze left in the morning. The temperature began to climb towards the highest point of noon, but even this could not suppress the strong desire of the students to show their talents and make a splash at the poetry meeting.

The star pavilion in the south of the city, and the moon tower in the east of the city, the hundred flower courtyard in the west of the city, and the Yue Caoting in the north of the city, are listed as the four top green buildings in the capital, and they are also the property of the Tang family, another wealthy family in Beijing. At this time, the square in front of the main entrance of the Xingxing Pavilion was crowded, and the students who had arrived gathered in twos and threes gathered under the sunshade umbrella prepared by the organizers of the poetry club for everyone to chat enthusiastically.

Located on both sides of the main entrance of the Star Picking Pavilion, a wooden shelf with a height of two meters and a width of two meters is placed to hang the masterpieces of talents that will appear today. Of course, space is limited, and only the recognized top 10 can be showcased here. Above the main entrance, there is a banner with a red background under the plaque of the Star Picking Pavilion, on which the four vigorous and powerful characters of "Star Picking Poetry Club" are written on it, and at a glance it is the handwriting of calligraphy everyone.

Inside the gate, there is a circular hall, and in the center is a small square open stage, which is arranged with flowers. A number of tables and chairs are also placed around the stage, which should be reserved for the seats of the more famous talents, and on the left side of the stage is a long platform with the same height as the stage, on which a long table is placed, with melons and fruit snacks, and a few Taishi chairs are placed behind the table, which is undoubtedly a VIP seat.

Every few steps around the hall against the wall was a wooden basin with ice cubes piled up, all of which were spiked. The constant release of cold air into the surroundings made the entire hall unusually cool and contrasted with the heat outside. From this, it can be seen that the strong financial resources of the owner of this Star Picking Pavilion are abundant.

When Zheng Yu and his entourage arrived, the poetry meeting had not officially begun, and she was naturally qualified to enter the hall and sit in the hall in the name of the second talented woman of Liu Manwenjing. And Zheng Yu was also invited to an exclusive position in the hall because of his patron status. Zheng Ying rejected Liu Manwen's invitation and stayed by Zheng Yu's side. And Liu Manwen took Liu Hongguo to the middle position.

There aren't many empty spaces in the hall anymore. Only in the middle area are two slightly larger tables, presumably for characters with heads and faces. Zheng Yu sat at a table in the corner, which was a table with a total of eight seats, all reserved for sponsor Jia. At this time, he is the only one, and after calculating the time, it is estimated that the other people will probably not come. Zheng Ying sat next to her and concentrated on dealing with a table of melons and fruit snacks. Zheng Yu took a glass of wine and sucked it, looking around at the chirping talents in the hall, bored.

The wine is not bad, amber with a hint of sweet and sourness. It's about 20 degrees Celsius, with ice cubes, it's cool in the mouth, and when you swallow it, it's mixed with a slight burning heat, and it's very comfortable to enter the abdomen. After drinking a glass, he was still unsatisfied, and opened his mouth to shout: "Little Er, three more glasses"

"Brother Tai has a lot of wine! Come! I'll have a drink with my brother! ”

It was not Xiao Er who sent the wine, but a handsome boy with bright eyes and bright teeth. Dressed gorgeously, with a valuable jade pendant hanging around his waist, he looks like the son of a rich family. At this time, he stood in front of Zheng Yu and filled Zheng Yu's empty cup. Placing the wine jug on the table, holding a full glass of wine in both hands, he stopped in mid-air and waited for Zheng Yu to respond. Seeing that the other party was so refreshing, he didn't shirk it, paused slightly with both hands to hold the wine glass, and then drank it all.

After drinking the wine, the person who came sat directly next to Zheng Yu, hugged his fist at him, and smiled.

"Under the abruptness, the word Zhangjing. This Star Pavilion is a family property. ”

The person who came was the eldest son of the Tang family, and the Tang family was mainly engaged in catering and entertainment industries such as restaurants and green buildings, all over the country, and the wealth was not inferior to that of the Liu family. Tang Tu's father, the current head of the Tang family, Master Tang, is low-key and has no reputation. But Tang Tuqin's second uncle's reputation is great, and the current secretary of the military department, Tang Wentong, is also. Tang Wentong was injured on the battlefield in his early years, leaving him with a dark disease, resulting in infertility. Therefore, Tang Tu, the next heir of the Tang family, treats him as his own.

Zheng Yu has heard a little about this person, after all, the Tang family has a big business, and it will often become a topic of conversation after dinner. Just like Liu Manwen is also famous in Shangjing, but Zheng Yu is not mixed with the literary circle of talented and beautiful women, so he doesn't feel anything. Go into the toilet by yourself to solve it, and you will care about whether the person in the pit next to you pulls SHI or not.

"Uh, Brother Tang, in Xia Zheng Yu, I haven't taken the word yet, a martial artist, there is a dart game in the city, and it hasn't opened yet." Zheng Yu hastily introduced himself. and pointed at Zheng Ying and said, "This is the sister." Zheng Ying nodded stupidly and continued to eat.

Tang Tu also nodded in response, and continued: "I have also practiced martial arts for many years, so I saw that Brother Zheng had martial arts in his body, so I came to get to know him." Brother Zheng, I don't know what this dart game is? "Tang Wentong himself was born in the military, so when he cultivated Tang Tu, he went in the direction of Confucian generals, thinking that he would be both civil and military in the future, as for inheriting the family business, he couldn't pee in the same pot as Tang Tu's father at all.

Zheng Yu heard that the other party had also practiced martial arts, and he was considered a person all the way in the current crepe environment. changed his previous cold attitude, and probably explained to the other party the purpose and business scope of the dart game. After listening to it, Tang Tu understood that this kind of organization had actually existed for a long time, but it did not subdivide the business scope and formulate relevant industry systems.

The two were chatting when there was a commotion in the hall, and then people got up to greet the white-clothed man who had just entered. Looking at Zheng Yu's idiot-like eyes, Tang Tu hurriedly introduced: "This person is Xu Jiujue, the eldest son of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and I are not all the way, a typical second ancestor", and showed a look of disdain after speaking. It's as if he's not the second ancestor.

After Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty in the history of time and space, there were two princes, one was the eldest son Xu Huizu, who inherited the title of Duke of Wei from Xu Da. It was not until 1645 that Xu Jiujue succeeded to the title of Duke of Wei, and a month later he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was demoted to a commoner. There is also the fourth son Xu Zengshou, who secretly helped King Yan rebel and was killed by Emperor Jianwen. The last Dingguo Duke was killed by Li Zicheng. But when he came to this time and space, Xu Zengshou was indeed killed for helping King Yan, but unfortunately King Yan's rebellion was unsuccessful, and there was no Dingguo Gong who was posthumously sealed later, leaving only Wei Guogong to pass on to the present. Xu Jiujue was only about twenty years old at this time, and according to normal history, it was still early for him to take the throne.

Zheng Yu knew about Xu Da, the Duke of Wei in history, but he didn't know anything about it, and he didn't know that Xu Jiujue would finally be cleared in the history of normal time and space. Anyone who is not a professional in history will study these. Anyway, I feel like this thing looks very powerful now.

Tang Tu continued: "The man in Tsing Yi next to him is called Pang Shiyuan, and his name is Wenchang. has the name of the first genius in Beijing, last year's Xie Yuan (the first place in the township test). This time, I was invited to teach the experience of Qiuyu. This person does have real talent and learning, but he is obedient to Xu Jiujue, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Xu Jiujue's dog. Another man in a Chu colored robe is called Liu Shijie, the second son of the Liu family, a wealthy businessman in Beijing, and will also participate in the township test this year.

Zheng Yu heard the abrupt words before he noticed that Liu Shijie was also among those people, and said in his heart: "This kid still has this connection, plus Uncle Liu's family assets, this time Qiu Yu is estimated to be easy to make a name for himself, no wonder he is so arrogant and arrogant." ”

Xu Jiujue and his entourage didn't notice the abruptness in the corner, Zheng Yu and the others. After greeting everyone present, Xu Jiujue actually walked over to Liu Manwen, and when he came to him, he clasped his fists and said, "It's really a blessing to meet Fairy Liu here." ”

After Tang Tu saw it, he was about to introduce it, but Zheng Yu said, "This woman doesn't need to be introduced, I know." Tang was stunned for a moment and then showed a lewd expression of "I understand", Zheng Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

At this time, the venue was not very chaotic, Zheng Yu could probably hear their conversation, but he didn't expect that Liu Manwen's status in the literary circle was not low. Then I saw Liu Manwen squatting slightly and said a blessing: "Little Grandpa Xu, the little woman is polite." After politely replying to Xu Jiujue, he actually took the initiative to say to Pang Shiyuan: "Brother Wenchang, I haven't seen you for some days, are you okay?" ”。 Pang Shiyuan smiled slightly, and replied lukewarmly: "There is Miss Lao Liu's concern, and it is as usual below." Liu Manwen's expression was stunned when he heard this answer, his face was obviously a little lost, and he turned his head and called Liu Shijie softly, "Second brother." Liu Shijie nodded in agreement. At this time, Xu Jiujue's face was also a little unhappy. Lead the people to sit in the empty seats in the middle.

Zheng Yu was amused in his heart, he actually had an unexpected gain from participating in this poetry meeting today, hahaha. Judging from the performance of those people just now, this is obviously a love triangle. Xu Jiujue wanted to take down Liu Manwen, but Liu Manwen was obsessed with Pang Shiyuan, Pang Shiyuan didn't know if he had feelings for Liu Manwen, anyway, because Xu Jiujue would definitely reject Liu Manwen thousands of miles away on the surface. As for how Liu Shijie hugged Xu Jiujue's thigh, isn't it simple, he is Liu Manwen's second brother.

When Zheng Yu fell into a happy gossip conjecture, a roll call came from outside the door.

"The eldest princess arrives at !!!!"
