Chapter 13 Childe stays
The moon falls and the sky is full of frost,
Jiang Feng's fisherman was sleepy.
Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City,
Midnight bell to the passenger ship.
After reciting it in a low voice a few times, the more Qihong presided over it, the more satisfied he became, and the more he tasted it, the more pleased he became, especially at the end, he couldn't help but smile. Glancing at Liu Fan in amazement, Qihong smiled and said: "Lao Qu wanted to be a referee when he went down the mountain today, but I didn't expect to see the demeanor of talents in Jiangsu and Zhejiang one after another, and Lao Qu is worth the trip."
Liu Gongzi's poem starts from the scenery in front of him, and draws a hazy and quiet, cold and beautiful night map of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the first two sentences of this poem are written about the autumn night scenery, it seems that a young wanderer came to this Jiangqiao Village, and was intoxicated by the moonlight and the beautiful scenery of the lake. The last two sentences describe the beauty of artistic conception.
Just as the wanderer was indulging in the scenery in front of him, the bell of Hanshan Temple reached the side of the passenger ship of this painting boat. This implied Zen transcendent bell, will be full of thoughts of the night to wake up, the poem before and after the two couplets, the description of the content is complex and simple, embodied in the feeling of a real and a virtual, this poem wonderful, will be passed down through the ages. ”
Hearing Qihong's words, He Qingming hurriedly spoke: "When the master just presided over the evaluation of Brother Bai's poems, he used three wonderful words in a row, and then praised them three times in a row. When describing this young master Liu's poems, he did not mention a good one, nor did he praise a wonderful one. It can be seen that although Young Master Liu's poems are not bad, they are not as good as Brother Bai's poems after all. ”
Seeing that He Qingming misled the onlookers with just a few words, Yu Ning'er immediately stood up and retorted: "I'm afraid Brother He's words are suspected of confusing the public, although the host master gave different evaluations when commenting on the two brothers, but he has not yet made a final ruling, Brother He is so anxious to overstep his bounds, is it possible that he is worried that the Shujian Alliance will lose?" ”
"Who's worried?" After being poked in the center, He Qingming was a little angry, and when he saw that the people around him were looking at him, he held back the anxiety in his heart, and pretended to be calm and urged Qihong to host: "Master host, now that the poems of the two families have been written, please ask the master to comment on the level, right?" It is a matter of honor and disgrace for both sides, and I hope that the master will consider it carefully. ”
According to Lao Gu's humble opinion, the poems made by Bai Gongzi and Liu Gongzi are rare masterpieces, and they may even be included in the "Hanlin Academy". To be honest, it is really difficult for the veteran committee to evaluate the competition of this game. ”
Qihong presided over with emotion, and then he walked to the side of the case, carefully read the poems created by the two, and pondered for a while, he rolled up the poems written by Liu Fan and put them away, stuffed them into the robe in public, and then he said a Buddha call to everyone, and then left the arena with a smile and walked alone in the direction of Hanshan Temple.
"Master, what do you mean by that?"
"Huh? How did host Qihong go? ”
"Haven't you won or lost yet? How did he go back? ”
"Qihong hosts such a departure, how should this competition be calculated?"
Not only the surrounding onlookers were suspicious, but even Yu Ning'er, He Qingming and others were puzzled, and they couldn't understand what Qihong meant? Only Liu Fan showed a thoughtful expression, and just when everyone was confused, Bai Yutang walked to the side of the case, looked at the poems he wrote, and he shook his head and sighed:
"Master Qihong is worthy of being a monk, he said that the two poems are equal and can be included in the Hanlin Academy, but in fact, he already has the answer in his heart, but Qihong presided over the care of me, and he didn't say it in public. Qihong took away the poem he liked, and this is the evaluation he gave. ”
"Brother Bai must not speculate, Master Qihong has not said it himself, why should you be arrogant?" Hearing that Bai Yutang had the intention of admitting defeat, He Qingming hurriedly spoke out to stop him, wanting Bai Yutang to swallow the words behind, he really couldn't afford to lose, if he lost to the Red Sleeve Building again in this game, then there would be no need to compare later.
Although He Qingming's prompt was very obvious, it was a pity that he underestimated Bai Yutang's scholarly spirit, he ignored He Qingming's thoughts, put away his poems casually, and then bowed to Liu Fan: "Brother Liu is really not showing his face, Bai Mou's heart is happy and convinced, Bai Mou has something important to do tonight, and he will ask Brother Liu for advice in the future." ”
After speaking, Bai Yutang turned around and left the crowd, looking at his back as he left alone, everyone remembered that when Qihong hosted and commented on Bai Yutang's poems before, he had said that Bai Yutang was going to leave Suzhou tonight, and when everyone was looking at Bai Yutang's figure in a daze, He Qingming stared at Liu Fan opposite with a gloomy face.
"What are you staring at me for? I didn't say that his poetry was not good, he himself admitted defeat and left, you can't blame me. Liu Fan shrugged his shoulders, and when he saw He Qingming still glaring at him again, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he deliberately stimulated: "He Gongzi, you have already lost two games in a row in three games, is it necessary to compete?" ”
"You...... If you hadn't interfered indiscriminately, our Shujian League would have won today's competition, and it was because of you that we failed again, I ...... I...... I'm not at odds with you. He Qingming pointed at Liu Fan with his finger, trembling with anger.
"All the fathers and fellow villagers take a look, the son of the dignified prefect can't afford to lose, and if he loses the competition, he doesn't find the reason from himself, but threatens the opponent to compete. Please help the elders and villagers present to testify, if I have three longs and two shorts in the future, I will definitely have nothing to do with Gongzi He. Liu Fan shouted to everyone with a look of grievance.
Chu Minghui: "He Qingming, do you dare to try him?" ”
Yu Ning'er: "I didn't expect Gongzi He's qi to be so narrow. ”
Liu Fei: "If you can't compare to others, you threaten each other, who is it?" ”
Liu Na: "He Qingming, I didn't expect you to be such a villain." ”
Xu Xiaofeng: "Hmph, I looked down and walked away, and since then I have withdrawn from your Book Sword Alliance." ”
Onlookers: "See? He Qingming, this is going to retaliate. ”
Hearing the ridicule of the surrounding crowd, He Qingming was suddenly a little anxious, although he was the son of the prefect, but he couldn't afford the notoriety of retaliating against the opponent, seeing that everyone was provoked by Liu Fan, they all came at him, He Qingming was angry and anxious, and jumped to his feet angrily: "I...... I didn't mean that, everyone misunderstood. ”
Although He Qingming tried his best to explain, but everyone didn't listen to his defense at all, let him dry his mouth, that is, no one believed it, in the face of everyone's disdainful and questioning eyes, thinking of the result of this failure again, He Qingming was impatient, "poof" spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted in anger.
Seeing that He Qingming was stunned, the people of the Shujian Alliance hurriedly carried him to the doctor. Xu Xiaofeng said goodbye to Liu Fan and a few others, turned around and left Jiangqiao Village, he had already broken away from the Shujian League, and had nothing to do with He Qingming from now on, so he didn't leave with the people from the Shujian League, seeing that the people on the side of the Shujian League had left, and the crowd of onlookers had dispersed.
When the Shujian League and the surrounding crowd of people all left, only the people from the Red Sleeve Building were left in front of Jiangqiao Village, and Liu Fan and Chu Minghui still had to go to Shen Wansan to find someone to see a doctor, so when they saw that everyone was almost gone, they also planned to leave, and when the two of them had just walked a few steps, suddenly a soft voice came from behind them: "Gongzi stays." ”
Hearing the call, Liu Fan and Chu Minghui turned around at the same time, only to see Yu Ning'er looking at Liu Fan with a shy face, and said in a low tone, "Can you please stay for a while?" ”
"Looking for you." Throwing an ambiguous look at Liu Fan, Chu Minghui pushed Liu Fan in front of Yu Ning'er with a smile, and said loudly: "He has time." ”
"Miss Ning'er has something to do with me?" When she came to Yu Ning'er, Liu Fan looked at her with a little suspicion.
Seeing that Yu Ning'er took the initiative to stop Liu Fan, Liu Na and Liu Fei hurriedly led the sisters in the Red Sleeve Building aside, muttered a few quietly, and then pointed to Liu Fan and Yu Ning'er who were standing on the shore, and then the girls showed a burst of coquettish laughter.
Originally, Yu Ning'er was a little shy because she took the liberty to stop Liu Fan, but when she saw the coquettish laughter of Liu Fei and the sisters, the expression on her face became even more shy, and she stomped her feet in shame, and then she mustered up the courage to say to Liu Fan:
"Thanks to Brother Liu's help tonight, the little sister knows the depths, if it weren't for Brother Liu's shot, the red sleeve building would definitely not be the opponent of Xu Xiaofeng and Bai Yutang, Brother Liu faced the two great talents of Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone, and made the other party lose and convinced, and the little sister also deeply admired.
Before the little sister had also heard of Brother Liu's reputation, mistakenly thought that Brother Liu was a gentleman who did not learn and did not know, so he was offended just now, after just a competition, the little sister only then understood that people are not good-looking, the little sister has a reluctant request, and I hope that Brother Liu can agree.
Just as the imperial court holds the imperial examination every three years, in order to select outstanding societies, the imperial court will conduct a ranking of the societies in all counties and continents of the country every five years, and the imperial court will give special rewards to all the societies that can obtain the ranking.
Now it has been four and a half years since the last evaluation and ranking, and there is another half a year for the imperial court to evaluate the county and continent societies, and the little sister wants to invite Brother Liu to join the Red Sleeve Building, and then represent the Red Sleeve Building to participate in this evaluation and ranking, I don't know if it is possible? ”
"I'm a big man, it's a little inappropriate to participate in your Red Sleeve Building, right? It's okay to give it a try temporarily, but if you join the Red Sleeves Building permanently, with my reputation, I'm afraid it will have a negative impact on you pretty women, so forget about it. Liu Fan waved his hand and refused Yu Ning'er's invitation, not planning to join the Red Sleeve Building.
Seeing that Liu Fan rejected her invitation, Yu Ning'er was a little surprised, because in the rumors she heard before, the second young master of Yangzhou Liu Mansion was not only bad but also greedy and lustful, but now such an opportunity to get along with many beauties up close, he actually refused, it seems that this second young master Liu is not as unbearable as rumored.
Seeing that Liu Fan wanted to leave after finishing speaking, Yu Ning'er hesitated, and then changed to a tactful way, she did not let Liu Fan immediately agree to join the Red Sleeve Building, but asked Liu Fan to think about it for a while, Yu Ning'er said that before the start of the school competition, she would go to Yangzhou to find Liu Fan, and then he would decide whether to participate in the school competition.
Just when Yu Ning'er and Liu Fan were talking, Chu Minghui in the distance suddenly shook his body, coughed continuously for a while, he suddenly fell to the ground and fell unconscious, seeing this scene, Liu Fan remembered Chu Minghui's body, and secretly said "Oops," He hurriedly ran towards Chu Minghui's side......
