The main building of the natural residence is built on the water, covering a very wide area, and there are passages leading to the main building on all sides of the small lake.

Entering the main building, Tang Ning threw the sign to Xiao Jue, and soon someone respectfully took them to an accord upstairs.

When he came up, Tang Ning noticed that the crowd below was bustling and very lively, and asked casually, "What are you doing down there?" ”

"Lantern Festival Poetry Society." After Xiao Jue sat down, he said casually: "In order to attract guests, the natural residence will hold a Lantern Festival poetry meeting on the day of Shangyuan every year, and the leader can get rich prizes, I don't know what this year's prizes are, looking at their appearance, it should not be thin......

As soon as Xiao Jue's words fell, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

At the door of the Accord, a waiter was embarrassed: "Two sons, this Accord already has distinguished guests, and the villain will ......change it for you."

A young man frowned at him and asked, "We came early, why don't we let them change?" ”

Xiao Jue pushed open the door and walked out, asking, "Change what?" ”

"Little Grandpa Xiao......" Seeing that it was Xiao Yu who came out, the young man's face changed slightly, and his eyes looked at the young man behind him.

The young man smiled and arched his hand: "A misunderstanding, since it is Grandpa Xiao, let's go somewhere else." ”

Tang Ning saw Xiao Jue stand up and walk out, and walked in again after a while, thinking that the matter had been resolved.

He casually asked, "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Jue waved his hand and said, "The son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the second young master of the Tang family are vying for a place with us, he Tang Ershao doesn't have such a big face, it's almost the same to call his eldest brother here, regardless of them, let's order food first." ”

Tang Ning flipped through the menu for a moment, and looked up at him: "Second Young Master of the Tang Family?" ”

Xiao Jue nodded and said, "The son of Tang Qi, a native of Dongtaishe, Tang Zhao." ”

Tang Ning handed the menu to Xiao Jue, glanced out the door, and said, "You often come here, you can order it." ”

Xiao Jue ordered, got up and opened a window in the Accord, standing in front of the window, he could see the situation below.

Countless people gathered around a high platform, there were many seats on the stage, and some people were already seated, and in the middle were a few women dancing, who had seen the dance of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, and then looked at this ordinary dance, and always felt that they owed something.

In another pavilion.

After Liu Li sat down, he shook his head and said, "I don't know what Grandpa Xiao is doing here, this location is far inferior to their place." ”

The young man behind him waved his hand and asked, "How did you do the thing that you did?" ”

Liu Li showed embarrassment on his face and said: "I don't know why, my subordinates lost people yesterday, but don't worry, Ershao, I have asked them to find it, there are many people in the past two days, and after the Lantern Festival, I will let them ask one inn after another." ”

Another young man in the Accord had a look of curiosity on his face and asked, "Who are you looking for, do you need my help?" ”

Liu Li looked at him, and after being stunned, he patted his head and said: "Yes, if you don't say that I have forgotten, your father is the county commander of Ping'an, this piece is your Changyue territory, and it is not easy to find someone......"

The young man looked at him and said, "Let's not mention this matter first, have you done what you have done?" ”

Liu Li patted his chest and said: "There are so many people in Jingshi, you can hit two who can write poems by throwing a brick at will, I found someone to write Shangyuan poems half a month ago, a full ten, high quality, and I also bought a judge to ensure that we only have three less songs, rest assured, this time, no one can compete with us!" ”

Chang Yue said with some surprise: "Natural Residence is really willing this time, the leader of this poetry meeting can actually live with Miss Su Mei for an hour, Jingshi doesn't know how many people are looking forward to this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be a dragon battle tonight......"

Liu Li showed a look of anticipation on his face, and said: "It is said that at this hour, I can still make some excessive requests to Miss Su Mei, if it were me, I would let her play a song for me, her Xiao Sheng is known as the magic sound, I have long wanted to see what kind of magic sound it is, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to ......."

The young man looked at him and said, "If you can come out on top this time, you will see it in a while." ”

"Then thank you Second Young Master first......"

The main building of the Natural Home has two floors, the Accord upstairs and the lobby downstairs, which have a completely different atmosphere.

Young gentlemen gathered around the table in groups of three or five, looking at the high platform above, whispering.

"Brother Chen, how was the song you just now?"

"I'm afraid there's not much hope."

"Brother Chen is humble, you have been carving this poem for months, how can there be no hope?"

"What if I have been carving for a few months, the second son of the Tang family took out ten songs at once, and among the ten songs, three of them were selected, all of which were ranked in the forefront, how can this be compared?"

A young man patted the table, his expression slightly angry: "Who doesn't know that their poems are all bought, in order to win the first place and win the opportunity to be alone with Miss Su Mei, they even do this kind of thing, they are also scholars, I am really ashamed of them!" ”

The person next to him shook his head, sighed and said, "Forget it, this kind of thing is not something we can participate in in the ......"

Upstairs in an Accomodation, several richly dressed men were also stunned for a long time after listening to the news brought by the next person from below.

"Tang Zhao is in first place?"

"Tang Zhao, that shameless one, bought ten songs?"

"He can make a song, and this son will follow his surname, doesn't he have any face at all?"

Several people have quite a background in Beijing, and this time they are also here for Su Mei, although they also bought two poems, but they are all secretive, and they also know that this move is a bit shameless.

didn't expect that there was no shamelessness, only even more shamelessness, buying ten poems at a time and smashing them, this second son of the Tang Mansion was simply shameless to the extreme.

On the high platform, several old men also frowned.

They were invited to be the judges of the Lantern Festival Poetry Club, because everyone has different preferences, and the poems are not easy to distinguish, their task is to select the best ten poems from all the poems tonight, and finally Miss Su Mei personally chooses the one she thinks is the best.

Of course, the more poems included in the top ten, the more likely it is to be selected by Miss Su Mei.

One person stroked his long beard and said, "Second Young Master of the Tang family, this time it's a little unlikely......

Another shook his head and said, "He alone has three selections, which is a bit too blatant." ”

An old man in Tsing Yi raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and said: "We are so good at the poems, we can't control the above things, and we don't dare to care, no matter what else, these three poems are indeed qualified to be selected......"

Several people shook their heads and continued to look down at the poems handed by everyone.

……

Xiao Jue was halfway through eating, went down for a spin, and when he came back, he just sat down, then shook his head and said: "Tang Zhao, this guy is too shameless, he actually bought ten poems, it seems that he is determined to win the prize this time!" ”

Tang Ning put down his chopsticks, looked at him and asked, "The prize this time is very rich?" ”

"Not to mention rich, if anyone gets the leader this year, it will be in the face of the commander of the whole Beijing division." Xiao Yu said with some regret: "If I had known that Natural Residence would actually take this out as a prize, I would have bought twenty of his songs, and it would be worth spending more silver." ”

He shook his head and said, "Xiao Fu, come and pour me wine." ”

"Okay." A voice came from behind him.

Xiao Jue's face changed greatly, he turned his head to look at him angrily, and said loudly: "How many times have you said it, you are not allowed to stand behind me in the future, stand behind me again, and break your legs!" ”

"I've eaten it, you eat slowly." Tang Ning wiped his mouth, got up and walked to the window, sat at a small table, there was pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, sat here, looked out the window, the high platform below had an unobstructed view, and the sound of everyone talking was also clear in his ears.

"This time, I'm afraid that Tang Zhao Gongzi is going to come out on top."

"There's no way, who makes the family rich and shameless?"

"It's like this every year, what's the meaning of this Lantern Festival poetry meeting?"

……

"Tang Zhao."

This second young man of the Tang family should be the one who instructed the servants of the Ministry of Rites to let them run away for nothing Most of the Beijing Division, and deliberately disgusted people behind the scenes, Tang Ning sighed lightly, then spread out a piece of paper and picked up a pen.

The road is narrow, and the narrow road meets.

Who wouldn't be disgusting?

Li Tianlan also got up and left the table, standing beside him and watching.

A bright color appeared in her eyes.

It didn't take long for the bright color to turn into surprise.

Then, it changed from surprise to shock.

After a few more moments, the shock began to become numb......

I don't know how long it took, Tang Ning moved his wrist, waved his hand to the subordinate standing next to Xiao Jue, and said, "Xiao Fu, come over for a moment." ”
