Ahem!

Zhang Xuan suddenly stopped laughing and couldn't help coughing dryly.

He immediately looked at Cui Huan, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm laughing at him—one"

For Cui Huan, because of Cui Ying's relationship, Zhang Xuan has always called Cui Huan "second brother", but now he is called "him", Cui Huan and Li Xiuxiu didn't hear it, but the careful Cui Ying noticed this detail.

Cui Huan was surprised, "What are you laughing at me?" ”

"I'm laughing at you......" Zhang Xuan laughed again, "In a few days, you should call me brother!" ”

"I called your second brother for a few months, but you want to call me my brother for life, I want to laugh when I think of this."

Cui Huan was stunned and suddenly realized. And Li Xiuxiu blushed, stomped her feet shyly, and said angrily, "Brother! ”

That's it. From Cui Ying's point of view, Cui Huan is Cui Ying's brother, and Zhang Xuan is Cui Huan's brother-in-law, so he must be called brother; But on the other hand, Cui Huan found Zhang Xuan's sister again, and became Zhang Xuan's brother-in-law again, wouldn't he want to change his name to brother in the future?

Cui Ying smiled dumbly. However, thinking about it is also a problem, the two of them are indeed a little embarrassed in the future, and it is difficult to really distinguish clearly.

At this time, Cui Ju's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Zizhan is an important minister of the court and Xiuxiu's brother, in the future, Huan'er, you should treat him as a brother, and the etiquette cannot be abolished!" ”

Zhang Xuan was originally joking to adjust the atmosphere. Now that he heard Cui Ju take it seriously, he himself became a little embarrassed.

Although Cui Huan was a little reluctant, his father's fate was like a mountain and he had to obey. He made up his mind, so he had to bow down and bow to Zhang Xuan, "Cui Huan greets my brother." ”

Zhang Xuan avoided it.

"Lang Jun, my father's life, the second brother doesn't dare to disobey. Slave look, what my father meant, the future of the second brother still has to fall on you. Cui Ying smiled lightly, "At the beginning, you made a promise in front of your father in order to help Xiuxiu speak." ”

"Huh. He is a well-known talent in Chang'an City, and there must be no problem with this year's Spring Festival. If it's not bad, presumably Yang Guozhong will also look at my face and give me some care. ”

The smile on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth looked a little sly, "Actually, even if it's not for Xiuxiu-first, he's your second brother, can I still help him?" Ha ha! ”

Cui Ying was stunned, and then chuckled, "Lang Jun is so slippery!" Father, you've fallen for it......"

"Shh Zhang Xuan covered her lips with her fingers, "Ying'er, don't mention this matter in the future, I'm afraid that Xiuxiu will feel uncomfortable if she finds out." ”

"Hmm." Cui Ying nodded obediently.

The two continued to move forward, the plum blossoms beside them were fragrant, Zhang Xuan smiled and pinched one and handed it to Cui Ying, "Ying'er, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and it has its own wind and bones!" ”

Cui Ying frowned and said, "Lang Jun, what are you doing with the flowers?" If the branch is injured, it will be difficult to germinate next year. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches." ”

"Flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." Cui Ying muttered, her eyes flashing with a different kind of brilliance.

"It's a wonderful sentence, it's wonderful! Zizhan is full of talent, I am ashamed of myself. Cui Huan listened to it and immediately clapped his hands.

Li Xiuxiu's eyes were also shining, and she said softly, "My brother is quick and quick-witted, rare in the world, and this is a good sentence." ”

Zhang Xuan was embarrassed for a while, and quickly took the initiative to smile and divert the topic.

Drinking in the Cui family garden is naturally a happy part.

It's just that when Zhang Xuan was still having a banquet with the Cui family's father and son, Zhang Zhang hurriedly entered the Cui family's living room and whispered a few words in Zhang Xuan's ear.

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was very surprised, and his expression became very strange.

Cui Ying was a little strange, so she asked softly, "Lang Jun, but there is an urgent matter at home?" If there is something, Lang Jun will go back to the house first. ”

Cui Ju also smiled, "Yes, virtuous son-in-law, you are an important minister of the imperial court, and you have an important position, if you have busy official business, go and get busy first." We are a family, and we don't have to be formal. ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

For a moment, he looked back at Zhang Li, and said lightly, "Zhang Li, don't pay attention to him, just leave that post in the study." If that man comes again, you will say that I don't have time to see him. ”

Zhang Zhang nodded and walked away.

Zhang Xuan looked back at Cui Ying and Cui Huan and let out a sigh, "Li Taibai came to visit and gave me a post, asking me to meet and fight poetry on the night of Shangyuan!" ”

Everyone was taken aback.

Although Li Bai's career was unsatisfactory, he was "given gold and released" by the old emperor a few years earlier, which was equivalent to being expelled from Beijing by the official. But this person is famous all over the world, and he is recognized as a poet and a leader of the world's scholars.

Li Bai has been famous for a long time, but it is not comparable to Zhang Xuan, who has just emerged.

Zhang Xuan didn't know why Li Bai found him. In his opinion, with Li Bai's arrogance and talent, he shouldn't be jealous because he is a little talented, so he will take the initiative to come to the door, right?

If Li Bai was this kind of person, Zhang Xuan really looked down on him.

But Zhang Xuan was not ready to pay attention to Li Bai.

First, he has a lot of affairs and has no energy to fight for poetry; Second, he is also self-aware, although he has the golden finger of the traverser, it is almost impossible to overpower Li Bai, a poetic immortal; Third, he is now in a high position, and he no longer needs to be famous and in the limelight.

With a lot of power in his hands, there are a lot of things to do, and this kind of boring poetry fighting activity can no longer arouse his interest.

"Virtuous son-in-law, Mrs. Li is famous all over the world, and her poetry is bold, I am afraid that no one can match it. How is the son-in-law going to respond? Cui Ju frowned and asked.

Before Zhang Xuan could speak, Cui Ying had already preemptively smiled and said, "Father, Li Bai is certainly an immortal in poetry, but Zhang Lang's talent is not inferior to him...... Lang Jun, what are you afraid of him doing? Just compete with him, even if you lose a little. ”

Cui Huan nodded again and again in agreement, "Yes." The elder brother has a good mouth, and his writing is brilliant, so he doesn't have to be too frightened. simply fight with Li Baidou, let the world see his brother's talent! ”

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going to respond to him." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that there are a lot of things now, and I don't have the time or energy to socialize such things." ……

……

Shibai went to the general's mansion and ordered a poem equivalent to a war book, but did not get a response from Zhang Xuan.

However, Li Bai went again the next day, and although he didn't see Zhang Xuan, he still stubbornly sent the second copy of the fighting poem.

For several days, no matter how persistent Li Bai was, Zhang Xuan did not respond at all.

However, the news soon spread throughout Chang'an City, causing a lot of rumors.

Some people say that Zhang Xuan was afraid of Li Bai's talent and fame, and did not dare to fight poetry with Li Bai face to face; Some people also say that Zhang Xuan has a false name, for fear of being ugly in front of Li Bai, a great poet. And so on and so forth.

In short, public opinion has taken on a one-sided stance.

It's no wonder that Li Bai's fame is really too big, to the extent that there is no controversy. Compared with Li Bai, Zhang Xuan is at most a rising star, nothing more.

It's just that no matter how different discussions are in and out of the city, inside and outside the palace, Zhang Xuan always sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and does not make any response, maintaining a strange silence.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, he still entered the palace in the morning to assist the prince in managing the government, and sat in the general's mansion in the afternoon to deal with the military affairs of the two guards. From time to time, he went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to inspect to perform his duties.

Zhang Xuan was silent and did not respond, but Yang Yuhuan in the palace was a little angry.

Yang Yuhuan admits that Li Bai has great talent, but she also firmly believes that Zhang Xuan's talent, talent, and talent will never lose to Li Bai. Moreover, Li Bai is just a cloth cloth scholar, and he is not good at anything except being able to recite poetry, but Zhang Xuan is almost omniscient about Wen Taowu.

Yang Yuhuan's dormitory.

Wan Chun grinned, "Niangniang, otherwise, Niangniang and Wan Chun will come forward to organize a Shangyuan poetry meeting, invite Zhang Xuan and Li Bai, and let them fight face to face, and divide the winners and losers?" ”

Wan Chun likes this kind of lively occasion the most, and she can't wait to summon Li Bai and Zhang Xuan into the palace immediately and let them compete.

Yang Yuhuan hesitated for a moment, smiled and nodded, "Okay." The main palace came forward, on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, the Shangyuan poetry meeting was held on the top of the Suzaku Gate Tower of the Imperial City, which could be regarded as having fun with the people and spending a good night together. ”

Wan Chun clapped his hands happily and said, "Niangniang, Wan Chun is going to Zhang Luo ......."

Jade True View. Den.

Li Zhiying put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Li Bai, who slowly walked in with a depressed expression, and said with a smile, "Qinglang, are you going to find Zhang Xuan to post again?" ”

Li Bai nodded, but sneered, "It's a pity that this little guy doesn't respond to Yiyi Heng, he doesn't respond, I'll wait until he responds, I must take this bad breath for Ying'er." Isn't it known as the first scholar in Chang'an City and the first genius in the Tang Dynasty, why don't you even have the courage to fight with me? ”

Li Zhiying shook his head and sighed softly, "Qinglang, this son does have some talent, but this is not false. It's just that he may be self-aware, and he is unwilling to respond to you, which is also a smart move. Forget it, Qinglang, don't get into this kind of trouble

When Li Zhiying said this, suddenly there was a bright light in his eyes, he stared at Li Bai deeply, and said quietly, "Qinglang, do you still have the heart to be a hero?" ”

Li Zhiying guessed correctly. Li Bai invited Zhang Xuan, on the one hand, to vent his anger for Li Zhiying, and on the other hand, to regain his reputation and see if there was a chance to appear again. If the old emperor was healthy and reigned, he would not have this kind of thought, but now that the crown prince is in the court, his heart is alive again.

Li Bai's eyes flickered for a while. He nodded silently and said softly, "Ying'er, I was demoted out of Beijing to travel the world, and I have experienced many ups and downs over the years. I still can't let go, why I have the ambition to serve the country and the talent to stabilize the country, but I have never been able to serve the country! I'm not reconciled! ”

"I returned to Chang'an this time because I was looking for an opportunity. However, since this kind of thing happened to you, Ying'er, my heart will fade. Whether it succeeds or not, I will be by your side, and from now on, no matter birth, old age, sickness or death, I will not leave you half a step. (To be continued.)
