Of course, there are castles and garrisons in Stone Town, and it has little to do with the poetry meeting held outside Stone Town.

Stretching out his hand and grabbing the reins of the horse, Xiao Shilian said: "Shizhong, we are here!" ”

Li Xinchen nodded, the lively scene in front of him obviously surprised him a little, and Li Ping, who had been in the army, widened his eyes. This poetry society is not so much a poetry meeting as a gathering of young people under the pretext of a poetry society.

After all, compared with the Han Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties paid more attention to communication and exchanges between families.

The families were united in various ways, one after another, and finally connected into a big net, and the political, military, economic and cultural of the entire dynasty was actually shrouded in this big net, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was known as "the world of Wang Xie", and what kind of power the Wang family and the Xie family had can be imagined.

In particular, the alliance between the families means that they advance and retreat together in policy, which means that everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, so how to maintain a stable relationship with the rest of the families is a problem that every family must seriously consider, otherwise once the other party does not advance and retreat with you in the court, it will not send you to death?

The most common way is naturally marriage, but not every family has daughters who can't marry - all the heads of the family looked at the emperor Chen Ji, who gave birth to forty-two sons and more than twenty daughters, and tears - so most families still pay attention to the interaction between young people on the basis of marriage, and even many middle-aged people in the family will join in.

This is also why the poetry club is so popular and lively.

The family pays for you to make friends, play and have fun, wouldn't it be a fool not to come?

Of course, compared with the Wei and Jin dynasties during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was more attention to etiquette, and women were rarely seen on the street, and it was naturally impossible for everyone to walk rashly on the street.

Handed the horse to the entourage behind him, Xiao Shilian smiled and raised the fan in his hand, this guy was dressed in white short brown, tied his hair with a black scarf, I don't know when he inserted a folding fan from his belt, he just pulled it out at this time, and shook it slightly, if it weren't for the short brown worn for horse riding really didn't match this style, it really had a bit of the taste of the young man of the world.

And Li Xinchen is not so particular, he is simply cyan short brown, with a white scarf to tie his hair, and his hand is not pretending to hold a fan like Xiao Shilian, but on the handle of the knife hanging from his waist. But when he got here and took a closer look, Li Xinchen found that almost everyone had a fan, even if the mountain breeze and the river breeze were very cool, they had to pretend to fan a few times, and he had become that other.

Of course, Li Xinchen came today with the intention of watching the excitement, and he really didn't plan to do anything blockbuster at this poetry meeting where he didn't know the rules - as an out-and-out science student, even if he dabbled in poetry, he only tasted it, and it was impossible to write poetry on the spot - so he simply recognized Xiao Shilian, and at least he would not commit any taboos with him.

"This poem will be divided into three parts," the fan in Xiao Shilian's hand lightly slapped the palm of his hand, and just said a sentence, and then paused, "Brother Dashi?" ”

Li Xinchen was stunned, wasn't it Pei Zilie who walked over quickly? This guy is dressed in a dark straight coat, and he is really heroic. And similar to Li Xinchen, Pei Zilie also did not hold a fan, but hung a sword at his waist and stood in the open space, with a killing atmosphere that was completely different from those of the handsome sons around him.

After all, he is a young warrior who fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and this momentum is incomparable to the rest of the children of the family who grew up under the infiltration of wine and wealth.

"I didn't expect the two virtuous brothers to come over," Pei Zilie smiled and arched his hand, and then looked at Li Xinchen with some surprise, "Why didn't you come out with Miss Li'er?" ”

Li Xinchen said with a smile: "Li'er has been tired all the way, and she was frightened outside Guazhou the night before, so she just wants to recuperate at home, and Brother Lao Pei is worried." ”

"Why do you care so much about Miss Li'er?" Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows.

Pei Zilie asked rhetorically: "Then why do you care so much about me and Miss Li'er?" ”

Xiao Shilian suddenly understood that this guy was teasing himself, and snorted coldly and did not speak. And Li Xinchen patted him on the shoulder angrily and funny: "Okay, you should tell me what the three parts of this poetry meeting are." ”

Xiao Shilian nodded and stretched out his hand: "You see that among the woods on both sides of the road ahead, there is a note on each of the lanterns, in fact, this is an anagram, only by guessing more than ten anagrams, and telling the people waiting there at the end of the road accurately and accurately informing the answers, can you enter the next part, which is called 'Taosha'." ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, although guessing the word puzzle is interesting, it doesn't mean that everyone can guess it, this time it can indeed eliminate a lot of indiscriminate guys.

As soon as the fan was raised, Xiao Shilian pointed to the road up the mountain and said: "Continue to go up, it is 'poetry', mainly based on the poems of ancient and modern sages, and this pair of poems is to see how your own level is, and secondly, to see the level of the people around you, and finally only take the most that can be matched." This part is called 'Song Xian'. ”

After a pause, Xiao Shilian raised his head a little helplessly: "Do you see the colorful flags on the top of the mountain, that is where the third part is located, all those who pass the second level will improvise poems there according to the selected theme, and several Confucians who are invited to come will make comments on the spot to decide who will win the 'laurels' of this poetry meeting." And this level is called 'Yongzhi'. ”

"It's a good name." Li Xinchen smiled bitterly, but he didn't know where his three-legged cat level could go?

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded, and more than a dozen young people in various colored robes walked over while talking and laughing, and when they saw Xiao Shilian and the three of them standing here, their faces suddenly changed slightly, and they all immediately showed a smile, but in this smile, there was more ridicule and provocation.

"Yo, isn't this the stinky boy of the Xiao family, how can you still have the courage to come here?"

"Didn't you lose badly last time, and this time you will be embarrassed?"

"Hahahaha, maybe he thought that he had been on the battlefield for a long time with a group of Qiu Ba, and this poetry and song had grown even more!"

Pei Zilie's fingers lightly tapped the hilt of the sword, his eyes were cold, obviously the sentence "Qiu Ba" just now had pierced his heart. And Li Xinchen looked thoughtfully at these sons and daughters of the family, and looked sideways at Xiao Shilian: "Do you know them?" ”

Xiao Shilian gritted his teeth and said, "They ······ Also 'acquaintances'! ”
