When Ma Xianglan was hesitating, she heard Ji Qingwen smile "hehe", and said softly: "It is said that in addition to the newly opened 'Qianyun Building' in Suzhou, the proprietress also has another industry on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing?" Well, I'm a good guy to the end, you can pick two grandfather clocks here! ”

Two?

Ma Xianglan was silent on the surface, but she almost screamed in her heart: Two grandfather clocks are nearly eight thousand taels of silver! And with the workmanship of a few table clocks here, if you really buy it with 8,000 taels of silver, you may not be able to buy it!

After this temptation, Ma Xianglan had already made up her mind, "hahaha" laughed dryly, and said: "Master Ji is really talented, and your seven laws are even better than Mr. Yu Shan!" According to the Nu family, the leader of today's poems is none other than Lord Ji! Then please come with me, and go upstairs to meet Liu Ru is girl for a while! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the atrium. One of them said: "Old bustard, you are too unruly, how can this kind of poem be ranked first?" ”

Ma Xianglan twisted her neck and asked rhetorically: "Which of the seven laws with the theme of 'Acacia' is better than this one of Lord Ji?" Why don't you make one for me? If you're not convinced, you can try it! ”

This really made the spectators full of people stupid - Li Shangyin's "Untitled" has been one of the best masterpieces among the seven-character poems throughout the ages, and among the seven laws that express the feelings of "lovesickness", it is even more ancient and unprecedented-let is beyond the times, even if someone can write a poem that goes hand in hand with him, it is undoubtedly self-inflicted.

However, Ma Xianglan's rhetoric still couldn't convince the public, but I heard someone say: "Old bustard, you just said that you were composing poems in competitions, but you didn't say that you were memorizing poems in competitions." This poem is known to women and children, and it is Li Yishan's "Untitled". Your old bustard also claimed to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how could you not know? ”

Ma Xianglan's mouth pursed: "What poem do you say this is Li Yishan?" ”

"Untitled!" Someone immediately replied.

"What's untitled? How can there be a poem without a name? You said carefully, I might as well buy a copy of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and check if there is such a poem. Ma Xianglan said.

"The title of the poem is "Untitled". Li Shangyin and Li Yishan's 'untitled' poems are famous, and those who have read the book for a few years know it. Your old bustard won't know? The man's tone was a little angry.

didn't wait for Ma Xianglan to answer, but heard Qian Qianyi smile and said, "What are you arguing with him?" The old bustard was obviously bribed by Lord Ji, so he was willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb, use strong words, and cheat for him. If you can come up with a Western table clock that looks exactly like him, it will be your poem. ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he thought: I didn't expect that this Qian Qianyi is not small, and he has a bit of the style of a literary master......

But listening to Qian Qianyi and said: "Don't be complacent, Lord Ji is opportunistic like you, how long can you be indiscriminately charged?" It's better to take advantage of your youth and learn more real talents to be real. ”

Ji Qingwen smiled disdainfully, and bowed to Qian Qianyi: "I have more advice." ”

After that, he ordered Huang Degong and Xiao Duozi to wait in place, then turned around and followed Ma Xianglan to the "Qianyun Tower".

Ji Qingwen followed Ma Xianglan straight up to the third floor, walked along the aisle for a long time, and stopped at the end, but saw Ma Xianglan stretch out his hand and knocked on the door a few times, and said with a smile: "Girl, according to your meaning, today's Dou Shi has already been compared to the leader, and I have led him outside the door." See you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an answer from inside the door: "Mother, please invite him in." ”

This voice was gentle and euphemistic, but with a hint of heroism, it was the voice of Liu Rushi that Ji Qingwen had heard.

Ma Xianglan replied, "Okay", then stretched out her hand to open the door, and said to Ji Qingwen: "Lord Ji, then please come in." If you and Miss Liu chant poems well, the slave family will not accompany you. But Miss Liu's poetry is very high, don't recite other people's poems to deal with it, be careful that the girl drives you out! ”

After speaking, Ma Xianglan retreated with a smile and went downstairs to choose two of her favorite among the six Western table clocks.

Liu Ru in the house heard the words "Lord Ji", but he was stunned and asked, "Lord Ji?" Which Ji-sama are you? ”

Ji Qingwen stepped into the door and said with a smile: "Miss Liu is really forgetful, when the weaving workshop was parted, it was only a year of hard work at most, why did you forget me Ji Qingwen?" ”

Liu Ru was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Ji, come on, come on, please come in and sit, please come in and sit." ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he dared to step into the house, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Liu Ruye's room was full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, in addition to a yaoqin and a pipa, not like a girl's boudoir, but more like a scholar's study.

When I raised my eyes, I saw that Liu Ru was wearing a light red lake silk gauze skirt with a crimson smock on the outside, and her face was slightly powdered, which looked extremely charming and moving; The two eyebrows are raised intentionally or unintentionally, showing a rare heroic spirit between the eyebrows.

When Ji Qingwen saw Liu Ru for the first time, she was still dressed as a man, and she only felt that this "son" was too delicate, but now that he saw Liu Ruyi's women's dress, he knew that the so-called "Qin Huai Bayan" was not exaggerated, such eyebrows and eyes, such a look, no matter where it was placed, it was a great beauty second to none.

Looking at it, Ji Qingwen was a little stupid, his two eyes stared directly at Liu Ruye's face, unwilling to move away.

Liu Ru seemed to have long been accustomed to the man's gaze, and with an extremely elegant attitude, he put the book he was reading on the table, got up and squatted down, and said, "Lord Ji, I haven't seen you for a long time, please come and sit here, we have a few words to say!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Ru smiled and bowed, stretched out his jade-like fingers, and pointed to a Xiudun beside him.

Ji Qingwen was already drunk when he saw her posture like this, and involuntarily sat on the show pier she designated according to Liu Ruye's instructions.

Ji Qingwen was restrained, but Liu Ru was generous, poured a cup of warm tea for Ji Qingwen, and then covered his mouth and smiled: "Lord Ji, as you said, the farewell of the Suzhou weaving workshop that day happened to be around the year. In the past year, Lord Ji has made a great career, and it is a ninth-rate woman like me who has a thunderous reputation for adults! ”

When Ji Qingwen heard such a beauty praise himself so much, he immediately became proud, and pretended to be humble and said: "Personal struggle is inseparable from the trend of the times." I'm just standing on the cusp of the times, and there is a saying: When the wind is strong, pigs can go to the sky-"

These few sentences amused Liu Ru very much, covered her mouth and smiled: "It's really interesting for adults to talk, compared to those old pedants and little filial piety who pretend to be serious, I don't know how strong it is." ”

Ji Qingwen heard that Liu Ru was praising himself again, so he got even more carried away and said, "That's not it! I was fighting poetry downstairs just now, and I couldn't even compare with Qian Qianyi, otherwise how could I have the fate to come up and meet Miss Liu? ”

When Liu Ru heard this, his expression suddenly tightened, and then he relaxed again, and said with a smile to himself: "Don't hide it from your lord." Today's mother's topic was originally drafted by myself, in order to let Qian Shouzhi (Qian Qianyi's character) be the leader, and to meet him justifiably...... Unexpectedly, Master Ji's poems were better written than Mr. Qian's......"

Ji Qingwen chewed this sentence for a while, and finally turned from joy to anger, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, it turns out that you are deliberately making a game, I was almost tricked by you!" Hum! I won't tell you that I don't have any ability to write poetry, but what I have is money, two Western table clocks, and I will compare the good poems written by Mr. Qian Shouzhi in your mouth! ”

Liu Ru is such a smart and clever person, as soon as he heard this, he immediately guessed that Ma Xianglan was greedy for money again, and temporarily changed his mind to designate Ji Qingwen to win, so he said faintly: "The so-called 'planning is in people, success is in heaven', Mr. Qian Shouzhi deliberately discussed with me about the matter, but it was downplayed by Lord Ji, and it was crack......ed like this."

"Deliberate"? "Discussed something?"

When Ji Qingwen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "What do you mean by this?" What do you want to do? Tell me clearly! ”
