Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Genius of the Nation (Happy Spring Festival to Everyone)
There are two major poetry meetings in Bianliang City throughout the year, one is the Shangyuan Festival, that is, the fifteenth day of the first month, and the other is the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club. These two major literati gatherings are also highly valued by the imperial court and will participate in them.
In addition to these two poetry gatherings, there are also many other literati gatherings, such as spring outings, such as some other festivals, which are also quite grand. As for the gatherings between friends in the literati circle, there are countless of them.
During the Shangyuan Festival, the whole city is brightly lit, and all the people in Bianliang City will go out to visit the lanterns. The Mid-Autumn Festival is not the case, people don't go out much, mostly in their own homes, friends gossip, relatives entertainment.
However, the major famous shops in the city have long been overcrowded. The literati wore their most appropriate clothes, combed their hair meticulously, and wore crowns and hats without the slightest skew. During the day, those street stalls that clean noodles will also be crowded with these literati.
The young man folded the fan in his hand, brushing his chest from time to time, showing an appearance that was not annoying, and a gentleman's graceful bearing.
The girls in the famous building of the main store also freshened up early, and even adjusted the strings to the best state repeatedly, waiting for the guests who came today.
Gan Qi naturally dressed up, less than twenty years old, but there is no need to wear a crown, a refreshing bun is enough, but Gan Qi's Confucian shirt looks a little old, although there are no wrinkles, but at a glance, you can know that it has been some years, and the light blue has been slightly blue and yellow.
Apparently this dress is not Ganch's own, but Ganch's father's. It took Wu Qiaoer a long time to iron the folds on it with a charcoal bucket.
Su Shi, who was walking with Gan Qi, was different, dressed in a cyan Confucian shirt, and was an indescribable literati chic. There is also a Su Zhe, who is dressed almost the same as Su Shi, and the brothers complement each other.
If it weren't for Wu Qiao'er's insistence, where would Gan Qi be willing to wear this out? It still fits the robe of pink satin embroidered flowers and birds. That's right, it's pink, maybe it can also be called "crimson", an extremely angry pink.
In the Tang Dynasty, men began to wear pink, which was a status symbol, and there were many pink official uniforms. Later, the folk also began to become popular, and now in the Great Song Dynasty, red is the standard color of official uniforms, and even the emperor wears red official uniforms, and pink is considered to be following the trend. Later generations may find it difficult to imagine that the men on the streets in ancient times wore a riotous pink from time to time to go out.
Yuxian Mansion was already overcrowded, but no one noticed that two young people came in the building, and there was a poetry meeting tonight, so there were no guests in those boudoirs. Everyone is in the Yayuan Garden of Yuxian Tower.
In the garden of Yayuan, there are boxes one by one, and groups of literati are talking and laughing everywhere. It is really rare for a group of three people like Gan Qi and Su Shi to do this. Scholars don't have a little network, so they can't help but be looked down upon, plus Gan Qi wears a set of decades-old Confucian shirts, so those little guys who serve people are too lazy to get around these two people, probably because they think that these two people can't find a few tips in their pockets.
Fortunately, Gan Qi, Su Shi, and Su Zhe could also enjoy themselves, and they ordered wine and food, but no one sent them for a long time, and the three of them were not angry, and laughed at themselves.
Although Su Shi is a foreigner, he is more familiar with this Yuxian Building than Gan Qi, and he smiled with Gan Qi: "Brother Gan, I came here with my brother once before, and the girls in this building are really not comparable to the small places in Chengdu, whether it is posture or makeup, or piano skills and singing, they are all top-notch." ”
Su Shi said and gave a thumbs up, which shows that he is sincere.
Gan Qi replied when he heard this: "How can Zizhan say that Chengdu is a small place? ”
Su Shi waved his hand again and again and said: "When I studied in Chengdu in the past, I still thought that Chengdu was a big city, and it was nothing to compare with Bianjing. ”
"Zizhan, since you were here last time, why didn't you talk about it?" Gan Qi said with a smile, the so-called elegant things, there is no need to say more.
When Gan Qi asked, Su Shi hadn't answered, and Su Zhe on the side had already smiled and said: "Brother Gan, a few days ago, my father was here to meet guests, and my father was in front of him, what other elegant things can my brother talk about?" Haha......"
"Oh, the original way is like this, no wonder Zi Zhan said that he was going to come to Yuxian Lou as soon as he opened his mouth before, I'm afraid that he has already taken a fancy to which girl, right?" Gan Qi teased.
Su Shi was not hypocritical at this time, and said: "A girl's family surnamed Xiao is very good. Later, I'll give her a song, so that she will be famous all over the world. ”
"Why didn't Zizhan give him a song last time?" Gan Qi asked.
When Su Shi heard this, he raised his head and replied: "When you are feasting, it is not easy to play, and you always have to take care of everyone's face." ”
At this time, Su Shi was really young, and his youthful arrogance was undoubtedly revealed, and Gan Qi only praised when he heard it: "Zizhan is atmospheric!" ”
Su Zhe also nodded and said: "I read too many of my brother's words, and then listen to others fill in them, it really tastes like chewing wax." ”
Sometimes, geniuses and mortals, there is such a big gap, some people have read books all their lives, poetry and articles are inseparable from the word "hold", some people lift the pen, everything is at their fingertips.
Su Shi suddenly raised his hand and pointed behind Gan Qi, and asked, "Brother Gan, do you know that person?" The man kept looking at you. ”
When Gan Qi heard this, he looked back, and he really met an acquaintance, and replied: "I recognize it, it is a person of my clan, whose name is Gan Zheng, and he is a great talent of Guozi Learning." ”
Su Shi was puzzled and asked, "The people of Guozi Learning, why didn't you go to the Runan County Palace, but you came here?" ”
Gan Qi shook his head and said he didn't know.
But Gan Zheng, who was not far away, saw Gan Qi turn around to look at him, and immediately said to the people left and right: "Brothers, it's really rude, you can't accompany you for a long time, it's not too early, it's time to leave." ”
The people on the left and right hurriedly got up, and someone replied: "Brother Gan, just go, you can come here to sit with your former classmates, it's already thoughtful." It's too late, I'm afraid that the banquet will start at the palace, and many gentlemen will be late in front of them, and they will really lose their gifts. ”
Someone else said: "Brother Gan go quickly, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”
Gan Zheng arched his hands left and right, and looked at Gan Qi a few times, and suddenly lowered his head to say a few words to the people next to him, and when he saw the people around him, they all looked at Gan Qi's side, and nodded while looking.
Su Shi saw such a scene and asked, "Brother Gan, since you are brothers of the same clan, do you want to go over and see each other?" ”
"Not necessarily." Ganchi replied.
Su Shi actually saw that something was wrong, so he didn't ask much, but said in a casual tone: "The son of the country is a great talent!" ”
Gan Qi could hear the ridicule in Su Shi's tone, and he also knew that Su Shi saw that he and Gan Zheng were not dealing with him, and said with a smile: "Why should Zizhan be stingy." ”
"Haha...... Didn't Brother Gan praise his brother's magnanimity in front of his head? Su Zhe spoke.
The three of them immediately leaned forward and folded together, and Su Shi also laughed at himself: "I have always been stingy. ”
At this time, he saw Gan Zheng passing by Gan Qi's side not far away, holding his head high, folding his fan lightly, just passing by Gan Qi's side, Gan Zheng suddenly turned around and said: "Brothers, if the palace is scattered early, I will come to look for you again, and I will not return tonight if I am not drunk." ”
The person who was already more than a dozen steps away also hurriedly replied: "Old bachelors and old gentlemen, how early they sleep, they can't stay up late, the banquet in the palace will definitely be dispersed early, we will wait for you to come, and we will not return if we are not drunk." ”
Gan Zheng heard this, nodded, and raised his steps, as if riding the wind, indescribably chic.
Su Zhe commented: "Pretentious." ”
Su Shi said with a smile: "The son of the country is a great talent!" ”
Gan Qi raised his hand slightly, but he didn't say anything yet.
Su Shi had already said again: "Brother Gan, don't say it, I've always been stingy." ”
Gan Qi could only laugh and not speak.
Su Zhe continued: "If this guy is a Jinshi, there is a chance that he will be able to soar from the ground!" ”
