Chapter 40 Meeting Friends in Writing
"Xiaosheng Cui Hao, I've seen Lord Weihou."
The young man has a high crown in ancient costumes, his steps are light, and his charm is chic,
Despite this, this person's chin is slightly raised, and his eyes are always looking down at the people and things around him, even if he does not reveal a trace of arrogance, the first feeling of the young man is still high and arrogant.
Lan Ziyi saw Cui Hao as a salute, and he also replied:
"In Xia Lanziyi, I will come to the Poetry Society to pay a visit."
Cui Hao smiled:
"I've already seen the door sticker just now, Zhang Zhongtang recommended it, Xiaosheng doesn't dare to slack off. It's just that this poetry society has the rules of the poetry society, no matter what Wei Hou's status is, who recommended him, if you want to join the poetry society, you need to get the consent of all members of the poetry society, and please forgive Wei Hou. β
Lan Ziyi nodded and said:
"This Ziyi understands that if his strength is not good, he naturally shouldn't join the poetry club."
Cui Hao smiled, crossed Lan Ziyi and looked at the Tao family brothers who were gloomy in the back, and asked:
"Dare to ask Wei Hou, who are the next three?"
Lan Ziyi replied:
"These three are Tao brothers, who grew up with me since childhood, and are my brothers with different surnames."
The brothers of the Tao family responded with a simple salute,
Cui Hao looked the three of them up and down,
ε °εδΉ says:
"These three brothers are inseparable from me, and Brother Lautrei let us go in together"
ε΄ζ΅© says:
"Originally, the poetry club had a rule that outsiders were not allowed to enter. But Wei Hou is here for the first time, and it is understandable, so let's come in together today. β
Peach Rabbit heard the displeasure and said:
"What do you mean by extenuating circumstances? You're not here in the White Tiger Hall, the Imperial Horse Prison, and you don't have a tiger talisman, so you don't let people in? β
Lan Ziyi glared at Tao Zhutu angrily,
Cui Hao smiled after hearing this, stepped aside and said:
"Please."
Then he led the four of them to the courtyard.
The villa is built on the mountain, the style is delicate, the stone path is tactful, the grass and trees are abundant, and the door and wall are unique.
Although walking is pleasing to the eye, I always feel that there is a feeling of rejection of the outside world, which makes Lan Ziyi feel that he is out of place here.
"Maybe I'm not in good shape today." Lan Ziyi thought to himself.
After a while, Cui Hao said:
"It's time for Weihou."
A few people came to a building, the building has two floors, is circular, and the repair is very chic.
Lan Ziyi looked up and saw that the building was brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo and the chanting of scholars could be heard even outside the building.
Lan Ziyi asked:
"Brother Cui, why does this building have to be built into a circle?"
Cui Hao smiled:
"Wei Hou will find out when he goes in and sees."
Saying that, he gave way and led Lan Ziyi and a few people in.
Entering the building, Lan Ziyi suddenly realized, the circle is because the center of the building is a stage, the stage is made of white marble, there is a half-story high, take a closer look to find that under the stage is a pool of pools, the koi game in the pool, not disturbed by the noisy environment around at all.
On the stage, there are dancing girls dancing to the beat, and there is an arched bridge on each side, which is connected to the surrounding area across the pool.
Outside each arch bridge, there are two stairs leading to the second floor.
Lan Ziyi looked around, the two floors of the building were divided into many partitions, and the young scholars sat in it at the three-five-one table, or drinking, or laughing, or watching the graceful dancing on the stage, and some closed the door and didn't know what to whisper inside.
Lan Ziyi walked around the stage under the leadership of Cui Hao, went up the stairs, and came to a private room on the second floor facing the stage.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the private room, Lan Ziyi was about to go in, but was pulled by Cui Hao, Cui Hao said:
"Wei Hou, let's let everyone get to know each other."
Then with a wave of his hand, the whole building fell silent,
Lan Ziyi was surprised by how Cui Hao did it, and Cui Hao said:
"Fellow poets, this is Lan Ziyi Lan Weihou, Zhang Zhongtang introduced the Special Poetry Society."
After hearing Cui Hao's words, all the private rooms in the building nodded in greeting, and at this time, there was a voice
"Could it be Lan Ziyi, the son of Beizhen Lan Qianzhen?"
Lan Ziyi walked to the railing and replied:
"Exactly down there."
In the box over there, he said:
"General Wenlan has long been a big name, and when I saw Wei Hou today, he is really a talent."
Lan Ziyi smiled after hearing this:
"Don't dare, don't dare. Dare to ask this brother Taizun's surname. β
The box over there said:
"An unknown junior, not enough to worry about, compared to Ling Zun's martial arts, he has no power to restrain the chicken, but he is just a scholar who sells literature and is elegant. It's just that Wei Hou just came to the capital and needs to be familiar with it a lot, and don't do anything that damages his reputation. β
Lan Ziyi's brows furrowed slightly after hearing this, and he asked:
"What do you say?"
At that moment, a voice came from another box
"The younger brother is not talented, but I heard that Wei Hou was invited to the yamen of the criminal department this morning, and it is said that it was because he drove the royal bridge. The capital is important, but it is not as good as the grassland outside the Saiwai, and it is not a joke if the horse lets go and runs. β
Lan Ziyi was ashamed to hear it, he felt that he was being pointed at and poked when he came out of the gate of the Criminal Department, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and everyone in the poetry club already knew about it. Lan Ziyi stood by the railing and felt as if he was stripped naked, standing under the lantern, being judged. Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi couldn't help but retreat slightly.
ε΄ζ΅© says:
"The sage has clouds: the gentleman meets friends with words, and assists with friends. Although the poetry club is small, but they are all my virtuous and upright people, we are here to make friends with people with lofty ideals all over the world, study poetry and books, and cultivate feelings. Zhang Zhongtang said in the post that Wei Hou and I have similar interests and are determined to join the poetry club. Although I am not a member of the Poetry Society yet, I believe that with Wei Hou's talents, I will definitely be able to join the Poetry Society in the future. It's just that if you want to join the poetry society, abide by the king's law, and respect the saints are the most basic requirements, and Wei Hou must remember it. β
Lan Ziyi blushed to the bottom of his neck when he heard this, and just nodded.
Then Cui Hao waved his hand again, and the building continued the light song and dance just now, noisy and frolicking.
Cui Hao beckoned a few people into the private room,
Not long after the few people sat down, the servants served the wine and food, and Cui Hao raised his wine glass and said to Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, Xiao Sheng is a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, first give Wei Hou a cup."
Lan Ziyi also raised a glass in return, and the two drank it all.
No one greeted the Tao brothers on the side, so they drank a glass by themselves.
Lan Ziyi put down his wine glass and asked:
"Brother Cui is the speaker of the poetry club? Just now, with just a wave of his hand, the whole building fell silent. β
Cui Hao smiled and said:
"It's just a little talented, it's just that he was pushed by his friends in the poetry club to be in charge, and he just manages some daily idle things every day."
Lan Ziyi asked again:
"Brother Cui mentioned just now that I am not a member, so how can I become a member?"
Cui Hao smiled slightly:
"Wei Hou, to be honest, the Jiangnan Poetry Society gathers the most prestigious literary scholars in the country, and most of the members of the Poetry Society are from Jinshi, and the rest are lifters, for example, it was last year that Jingzhao Mansion tried to solve the Yuan. Dare to ask what Wei Hou is famous? β
Lan Ziyi felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to find a place to dig a hole and get into it, but he was speechless for a while.
Cui Hao saw that Lan Ziyi didn't reply, smiled and said:
"My Jiangnan Poetry Society is based on personal real talent and learning, although fame is important, but there is an element of luck in it, and it is not easy to force it."
At this time, Tao Zhuhu, who was on the side, took a sip of wine and said indignantly:
"Cui Jieyuan, what did you say about what happened outside the door just now?"
Cui Hao turned his head when he heard this, and said with a smile:
"What's the matter?"
ζ‘ζ·θ says:
"Just now, someone in front of the public publicly insulted my young master, since Cui Jieyuan is the manager of this poetry society, why did he allow this kind of thing to happen."
Cui Hao smiled:
"I'm just elected by everyone to do miscellaneous things, where is the real power to care about what others say and do? The sentence just now was just a reminder to Wei Hou to be careful, how can it be said to be insulting? This brother is inevitably a gentleman with the heart of a villain. β
Tao Zhuhu listened to the silence for a while, and said, "You ......"
On the side, Tao Zhulu said:
"If Cui Jieyuan says that, we really think too much. It's just that it is rumored outside that Zhang Zhongtang instructed Yushitai to catch the handle of my young master, and the place where he recommended my young master to come is so unfriendly, it can't help but make people think about it. β
Cui Hao smiled and said:
"Zhang Zhongtang is loyal to the country and is upright, how could he do such a thing. Even if it is to attack people, how can you pick a small character of Wei Hou? Brother Tai is really thinking too much. Zhang Zhongtang knows best what kind of person Wei Hou is, doesn't he? β
Lan Ziyi was told about the heartache just now, and he was upset, and when he heard that he was going to quarrel for Zhang Zhongtang again, his heart was like a mess.
Lan Ziyi heard Cui Hao's question, nodded and replied:
"Yesterday, I went to the house to visit Zhang Zhongtang, and today in the Criminal Department, Zhang Zhongtang spoke for me, so I escaped from danger. Indeed, Zhang Zhongtang is not that kind of person. β
Cui Hao smiled and nodded after hearing this,
Tao Zhulu continued:
"What happened last night, there was an impeachment of Yushi early this morning, and I was still entangled in the manpower to block the military plane early in the morning. How could this be done if there was no one behind the scenes? As soon as the first piece was approved, the second chapter was submitted, and who would dare to say that this was a coincidence? The Military Aircraft Department is Zhang Shoufu's territory, can this matter be done without his support? β
Cui Hao smiled:
"The Military Aircraft Department is the Emperor's Military Aircraft Department, but it is not anyone's territory, Brother Tai said it."
Tao Zhulu wanted to continue, but before the words could be spoken, Lan Ziyi squeezed out the words from between his teeth:
"Second brother! Stop it! You haven't even seen the face of the middle hall of the chapter, why are you judging the middle hall? I know him! β
Cui Hao heard Lan Ziyi say this, stared at Lan Ziyi for a long time, and then asked leisurely:
"Second brother? This brother Tai is also a disciple of the Lan family? β
Lan Ziyi replied:
"Brother Cui, as I said just now, these three are my brothers with different surnames, and they are like brothers and sisters with me."
Cui Hao nodded and said:
"It's really admirable that Wei Hou is so affectionate. It's just that kings, kings, ministers, fathers, sons, how can the code of ethics be abolished? No matter how deep the affection is, it is also a family rule. Although the prince of heaven is a father and son, he still acts as a monarch and a minister when he meets, and there is no other reason for him, just because he can't interfere with the road of human ethics. Even if Wei Hou is as close as a brother to your subordinates, this is more or less contrary to the norm. What's more, in this capital, Wei Hou, you are so obedient to biased words and slander the first minister, I am afraid it is not a gentleman's doing. β
Peach Zhulu heard a rare angry face, and Peach Zhutu slapped the table and scolded:
"What did you say!"
Lan Ziyi's heart was like a mess when he heard Cui Hao's words, and he was angry and angry, and the slapping of the table made Lan Ziyi angry, so he shouted:
"Rabbit chase! Don't be rude! β
As soon as these words came out, the Tao brothers stared at Lan Ziyi together, with an incredible look in their eyes.
Peach Rabbit stammered and asked:
"Young Master, you ...... just now"
Lan Ziyi drank a glass of wine, sat upright, and said:
"The young and the old are orderly, respectful and inferior. I am the master, you are the servant, you must not be rude in the future, don't call me young master, call me Weihou! β
Cui Hao heard Lan Ziyi say this, smiled slightly, and nodded,
Tao Zhutu listened to the tense muscles, and the pain on his face was like being stabbed in the back by someone he trusted.
Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Deer are no better, and they sigh one after another.
Tao Zhuhu got up and said
"Since this is a place of elegance, it is not a place for us rough people. Then we'll wait outside and take our leave, Marquis Wei! β
With that, he got up and went out with the two brothers.
Lan Ziyi wanted to cry very much at this time, he especially wanted to get up and stop the Tao brothers and explain well, but he didn't know why, he just couldn't stand up.
