Chapter 4 Jiankang Poetry Club

For more than 30 years since the founding of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, which confronted it, has been mired in decades-long civil strife until it split. The Northern Wei Dynasty was weakened, so it was naturally unable to invade the south, and the Southern Liang was partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and there was no war for decades, the economy was prosperous, the people's hearts were stable, and the emperor Xiao Yan attached great importance to culture, so that the whole country was full of cultural atmosphere.

Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu was himself a brilliant monarch, with high attainments in poetry, music, painting and calligraphy, and he could be called an all-rounder. Under his influence, several of his sons were also obsessed with literature, among which the most accomplished were the third son Xiao Gang and the seventh son Xiao Yi.

Every year on April 16, Xiao Yan will open dozens of palaces in the east of Taicheng to hold the "Jiankang Poetry Club", inviting all students in Jiankang City to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taicheng and read poetry.

"Sister Yu, come out today, don't tell General Dugu, last time you secretly ran to pray for blessings, and almost took your life, I ........."

"Don't worry, princess, I'm just going out for a walk, you don't have to worry about me, I'll go back naturally."

Two beautiful figures crashed into the eyes of Xiao Yi, who was overlooking Taicheng on the city tower, he fixed his eyes and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, the flowing woman covered her face with a light veil, and was carefully watching the flowers along the way, like a fairy in the world... Isn't she the person in the dream she has been thinking about.

"Seventh brother, what are you looking at!" A gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Xiao Yi turned his head and saw that Xiao Gang was already standing beside him at some point.

Without waiting for Xiao Yi to reply, Xiao Gang pulled him down the city tower: "Today, many literary students are here, if they are a blockbuster, they can be hired as officials and become famous all over the world, we still go to meet these students for a while, and it is the right thing to take a few more jobs for my father to serve the country!" “

Driven by Xiao Gang, Xiao Yi said hello to those familiar students, then sat down in the position arranged before, and watched the talents in front of him recite their poems one by one, and both of them savored it.

But it didn't take long for Xiao Gang to show an impatient look, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Yi: "Seventh brother, there aren't many wonderful works, but you can listen attentively!" ”

After speaking, he took a sip of tea and stood up slowly: "That's the end of today!" ”

Xiao Gang can be a literary at the age of six, and he has a "poetry fetish" at the age of seven, he is good at palace style poetry, and his literary style is different and extraordinary, where does he put these people in his eyes.

Xiao Yi is also a smart person, so naturally he won't talk much, and when he was about to leave, a fragrant wind hit behind him, and a young woman dressed in a bewitching dress had already sat down next to him.

"Lord Wang!" **'s voice came, and the woman pulled Xiao Yi's sleeve and whispered: "Why doesn't the prince have poems to participate in the competition this year?" I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and now I'm really disappointed. ”

Xiao Yi frowned and pulled away the woman's hand: "This king has already taken the poem, how many students are there in the world?" If you listen attentively, you will not be disappointed! ”

"It's just a bunch of rotten wood, what's there to hear?" The woman said disdainfully, and at the same time held Xiao Yi's hand tightly: "Lord, it's better for you and me to go to the back hall to drink and chat, you see, I even have ready the wine and food." The wine is the best Fenjiu, which is suitable for drinking in the season of Yanghua, and the dishes are also cooked by my own hands, and the prince must love to eat! ”

"The seventh brother has a beautiful woman as his companion, it's really worth the trip!" Xiao Gang smiled, looking at the beautiful face in front of him, he felt a little awkward, this woman is the daughter of Shangshu Xu Ying, and she is the beauty that many Jiankang teenagers dream of, but Xiao Yi doesn't have a good impression of her.

"The third brother smiled!" Xiao Yi looked helpless, since they met at the poetry meeting three years ago, this Xu Yunyun has been stalking him so far, which is really annoying, but her identity is respectful, and her father Xu Ying is deeply valued by his father, and he is really not rude.

Seeing that he was no longer talking, Xu Yunyun immediately handed the food box full of wine and food to Xiao Yi: "Lord Wang, you take it, I'll go first, and wait for the Lord to come!" ”

After Xu Yunyun finished speaking, she quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Xiao Gang saw that there was no need for him to stay, so he immediately spoke: "Seventh brother, let's go!" I won't wait for you! He turned and walked into the crowd.

Just when Xiao Yi was in a dilemma, the figure appeared in his sight again.

"Girl!" Xiao Yi no longer hesitated this time, walked forward quickly, and bowed down.

The butterfly love who was separated from the princess Xiao Xinzi looked back: "It's you, the prince is also there!" ”

"I wonder why the girl is here? What about the Dugu generals? Xiao Yi deliberately looked around.

Die Lian said indifferently: "I saw the pleasant scenery in the city, and I came here unconsciously. ”

Xiao Yi saw that she was reluctant to mention Dugu as she wished, and she was happy in her heart: "I see! It's better to meet by chance, this king doesn't know how to pass the time, and he happened to meet a girl, why don't you go there and sit down, and enjoy the poems while eating wine and food? ”

Xiao Yi saw that Dielian was a little hesitant, and continued: "Don't worry, girl, I will inform General Dugu of your news here, so that he won't look for him everywhere." ”

Suddenly seeing the person in his dream, Xiao Yi's body and mind seemed to be floating in the clouds, and he had long forgotten Xu Yunyun's appointment, and even her food box had become a tool for him to invite the veiled woman in front of him.

Seeing Xiao Yi's sincere expression, and being a little stuffy after walking for a long time, Die Lian frowned slightly after looking at the bustling crowd around him, and then followed him towards the porch.

………

At this time, Xu Yunyun led the maid into a side hall, waiting for Xiao Yi's arrival with joy, but he didn't know that he had thrown the matter out of the clouds.

"Xiao Ling, you said that the prince is here, what should I do to please him?" Xu Yunyun asked the maid beside her nervously.

The maid smiled "poof", leaned into Xu Yunyun's ear and said, "Miss doesn't have to do anything, just persuade the prince to drink." ”

"Drinking?" Xu Yunyun was stunned: "What's the use of drinking?" The amount of wine in the prince is one of the best in Jiankang City! ”

"Miss, you're too worried!" The maid's voice was a little lower: "The wine in the box you gave to the prince today has been put by me, and after drinking, it will be unbearable, and when the prince comes, the young lady only needs to be more gentle with the prince, wouldn't it be a good thing immediately?" Marrying the prince is a matter of course! ”

When Xu Yunyun heard this, her face flushed: "What, how can this work?" It's a shame if your dad knows! ”

"The lord knows that you and the prince have cooked raw rice and cooked rice, so he will only ask the emperor for marriage immediately, and your marriage with the prince is a certainty!" The maid's eyes were full of expectation: "Wait a minute, you will listen to me, once the prince is emotional, I will withdraw from the palace to guard the door for you, and then I will ......."

"You girl, you're so bad!"

"It's not for you, Miss, so you don't have to read the name of the prince day and night."

"Giggle......

Crisp laughter came from the side hall, the voice was full of joy and expectation, but they didn't expect that Xiao Yi had forgotten her completely, and naturally she would not step into this side hall for half a step.
