Chapter 59: The Lantern Festival Poetry Club
On the fifteenth day of the first month, Shangyuan Festival, the lights in the city are bright on this day, the tourists and ladies are like weaving, the carriages and horses are noisy at night, there are lanterns hanging everywhere, the city does not close the city gate tonight, the carnival all night, no matter how remote the place is, it is a lively and noisy atmosphere.
At this time, a very wide manor in the city is even more lively, the scholars in the garden with lupine scarves, gorgeously dressed sons, talking and laughing, talking and laughing, all the talk can not escape the poetry, it is very elegant. It is the Lantern Festival poetry meeting that Le Xuan said before. Chen Siye was also in this garden at this time, shopping and eating.
He didn't want to come, but Qiu Ju had to ask him to drive them over, and the pedestrians along the way were like carp, and they couldn't move at all while driving the carriage, and they set off when it was still dawn, and it didn't arrive until it was dark.
The women in the carriage couldn't wait, looking at the various lanterns on the side of the road and couldn't help but take a closer look, they got off the car one by one with veils, saying that they were going to walk over, leaving Chen Siye alone to catch the carriage.
And although Chen Siye didn't really want to go, it was obviously impossible to turn back halfway through, let alone turn around at all, so he rushed to the destination with an empty car. Fortunately, he also had an invitation and was not stopped by the doorman. Although he entered the garden, he couldn't find a few women in Mingyuelou, and when he inquired, he found out that it was a different seat for men and women, but it seemed that they would have a performance later, and it seemed that he could only wait to find them again.
Since you can't find anyone, you can only go shopping, anyway, the food and drink are free, and you can eat enough. He was not interested in this poetry at all, like copying other people's poems in the novels he used to read, he was very disdainful of this kind of thing, although he also copied a lot of things.
was eating a snack, when he suddenly heard a man dressed as a scholar next to him say: "I heard that the leader of today's poetry club can get the evaluation of the county lord of Pingle, the first beauty of my big season, and I don't know who can come out on top, and I can see the county lord's heavenly face, if I can be praised by the county lord, I am willing to die." ”
Hearing this, the other people around echoed, "Yes, yes, I have only seen the county lord once, or in the Mingyue Tower, it is really peerless, and the appearance is unparalleled." "The county lord lives in a simple place, I have never seen it, I will not praise it today, if I can see the county lord, I will be satisfied." "There are also three people from Mingyue Tower, it seems that they are also here tonight, but they are shy and can't go to Mingyue Tower. Maybe I'll be lucky tonight, and I can meet the three of you when I meet the county lord. ”
Chen Siye heard that they were talking about Le Xuan, and praised Le Xuan to the sky, and couldn't help laughing, the last time he was tricked by Le Xuan, he was still resentful. However, after writing out the reference and giving it to Le Xuan, the system prompted that the task was completed and he got twenty points, which gave him some comfort in his heart. With the rest of the previous spending, he still has twenty-two points.
The people around heard Chen Siye's incongruous sneer, and they couldn't help but look angrily, and the man dressed as a scholar frowned and looked at Chen Siye and said, "Brother Tai, what do you mean, is there anything wrong with what we said?" ”
Chen Siye was stunned for a moment, he couldn't laugh anymore, so he said: "No, I think what you said is very right, the county lord is simply a fairy." After saying that, he left in a hurry. A few people were satisfied.
Don't dare to provoke, don't dare to provoke, don't dare to provoke, if you say something about Le Xuan, it is estimated that they will come up and beat him.
After a while, the poetry meeting seemed to have officially begun, and no longer heard the gossip of people around, they all talked about poetry, and from time to time new poems and lyrics flowed out, and the scholars on the side would record them on paper, and in a short time, they could hear the scholars and maids reading out the new poems everywhere in the garden, leaving them for everyone to judge.
At this time, on the other side of the garden, the six girls of Mingyuelou and Xiao Tao were sitting in a small pavilion, Xiao Tao sat at the stone table, holding her cheek with one hand, listening to a maid not far away read a new word, the expression on her face seemed to be impatient, so for a moment, I heard Xiao Tao say to the other women: "This Shangyuan poetry meeting, it's not fun at all, it's better for me to watch the lanterns outside and visit the temple fair." ”
Qiu Ju also nodded again and again: "That's it, why don't I take you out over the wall and come back?" ”
When the girls heard this, they all laughed, and the Su family and the Lin family glanced at each other, only to hear the Su family quip: "Today's Shangyuan Poetry Club, if you stop a random person in this garden, it may be a talented man with a name and a surname in Jiangxia Mansion, or a son, Xiao Tao Qiuju, if you go and give it a try, maybe you can look at which talented son." ”
This participation in the poetry meeting, at least you have to have some fame, or some identity, if the fame is not enough and the identity is not enough, you can't get the invitation, obviously except for the three everyone, the other people are all following Le Xuan's invitations.
As soon as she heard this, Xiao Tao suddenly remembered Chen Siye, and said with a slightly red face: "What a talented son, I don't like it." After a pause, he said: "I don't know where Chen Siye went, if he was asked to tell an interesting story, it wouldn't be so boring." ”
Speaking of the story, several other women also became interested, Xiaochan said: "I have read the biography of Sword Fairy Wonder Hero written by Senior Brother Xiao Yezi twice, but I still can't get enough." Cuiyun also nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Tao frowned when she heard this, "Did he also write a book for you?" Is it handwritten? She thought that Chen Siye had given it to everyone, and she suddenly felt unhappy.
Xiaochan nodded and said, "Yes, but there are only two copies, which are not enough to read, and now they have been passed on to Sister Ming." When I heard that there were only two copies, and six people had to pass them on to read, Xiao Tao suddenly smiled again.
Suddenly, Qiu Ju seemed to remember something, and said: "By the way, Xiao Yezi seems to have made a poem before, as if it was called Jing Ye Si, which was taken by Sister Lin." ”
Mingyue Suqi said: "He can also compose poems?" On that day, Chen Siye wrote down his silent night thoughts, but he was taken to Lin by Qiu Ju, and Mingyuesu went out to play at that time, and he didn't know about it.
Then he asked, "What kind of poem is it, and how is it done?" Hearing this, Xiao Tao also pricked up her ears.
Lin smiled and said: "There are only four short sentences, but they are meaningful, fresh and simple, and the taste is endless." It's very much to my liking. Lin didn't directly say whether it was good or not, but just said that it was with her, and after speaking, he recited the poem in her Qingyue voice.
Mingyue Su tasted the product carefully, and said in his heart that he didn't know if he was looking at the bright moon in the sky, or the bright moon building, or... Herself? She didn't know that Chen Siye hadn't seen her at that time.
After listening to this poem, Xiao Tao said excitedly: "Sister Lin, if Chen Siye comes up with this poem in today's poetry meeting, can he come out on top?" ”
Lin said with a smile: "This Shangyuan Poetry Club will make poems related to the Shangyuan Festival, and his poem has nothing to do with the Shangyuan Festival, even if he takes it out, he can't do it." Secondly, this poem is too simple and clear, even if you think about it, you can't get any ranking. ”
Xiao Tao was a little disappointed and said: "So that's the case, then I don't know if he will write poetry again, if he robs the leader, wouldn't it be interesting?" After speaking, he seemed to think of the picture of being taken by Chen Siye as the leader, and he couldn't stop giggling.
Seeing her like this, the Su family joked again: "I said why Xiao Tao didn't want to meet a group of talented people, it turned out that she had someone she liked." ”
These words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and they asked, "Who is it?" "Which son?" "Peach, you say it yourself."
Two blush flew on Xiao Tao's face, and he said with a stalk around his neck: "I don't have anyone I like!" ”
Seeing that she didn't say anything, all the women asked Su again: "Sister Su, tell us quickly, who is it?" ”
Su everyone covered their mouths and smiled, looking at Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao pouted, looking like she didn't like someone. She felt that everyone Su would definitely not be able to guess.
Seeing that Xiao Tao didn't say anything, Su revealed the mystery and said: "Naturally, it's Xiao Yezi, how many times did Xiao Tao mention Xiao Ye tonight?" ”
Xiao Tao suddenly blushed to the base of her neck, and said loudly: "Sister Su, don't talk nonsense, I don't like him!" Don't believe him, I don't like him! ”
Seeing her reaction, the girls still didn't understand, and their reactions were different, but they all opened their mouths to laugh at Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao couldn't stand the laughter of the women, stood up and said hurriedly: "Oh, I said I don't like it, I don't like it, I won't tell you!" He turned and ran away.
Seeing that Xiao Tao ran away, the girls laughed and chatted a few more words, and Mingyuesu also got up and said, "It's boring to sit, I'll go to the garden too." ”
Then Qiu Ju, Cuiyun, and Lin got up and left, leaving only Su and Xiaochan sitting at the table and looking at each other.
