Chapter 107: Jinxiangyuan
"Kinka-in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Standing on the Golden Horse Street in the east city, Jia Wei looked up at the plaque of the Jinxiang Courtyard, the wine shop on both sides of the song building is brilliantly lit, the voices are boiling, the Jinxiang Courtyard is one of the most flashy existence, there are dozens of delicate red lanterns hanging in front of the gate, instantly giving people a hint of drunkenness, the house is scattered with small buildings of different heights, each small building has a small lantern hanging, under the halo of the lantern is one or several graceful figures, leaning on the railing, long sleeves are raised, the charming scenery is coming, and the fragrance of fat powder in the air is floating in the distance.
"Second master, there are a few over there, it seems that they are recruiting you."
"It's useless to recruit me."
Smiling at Mingyan beside him, Jia Wei entered the gate of Jinxiang Courtyard, and Mingyan and Li Gui followed him in.
There was a flower hall not far from the door, Feng Xue and the others agreed to wait for him here, and a maid who greeted him at the door saw that she took Jia Wei and the three of them there, and then turned back.
As soon as they entered the flower hall, when they found Feng Xue and the two figures, Jia Wei was stunned, and there were Jia Lian and Jia Rong with them, at this time, the four of them also saw Jia Wei and the three of them coming, and they all got up and walked this way, Feng Xue and the two of them were smiling, but Jia Lian and Jia Rong put on an unhappy look, Jia Lian waved the folding fan and said, "Brother Bao, you are really not interesting, I invited you a few times, you all shirked in every possible way, the two of them called you, but you agreed happily, and said that you would come that day." ”
"Second brother, this is also no way, the situation is different, they insist on using me as a signboard, see that Tang Xiaoqing, don't I agree?"
Jia Wei smiled, Jia Lian and Jia Rong were naturally called by Xue Pan, and it is rare for people like Xue Pan to lend them a lot of money, and they still call them when they eat and drink, they are simply born losers.
"Haha, forget it, but next time we invite you, we can't refuse."
"How dare you."
Saying this, Jia Rong also interjected two sentences, everyone laughed, Jia Lian and Jia Rong regarded Jia Wei as the gold owner, and planned to play a little autumn breeze from time to time, how could they really be angry with Jia Wei, Jia Wei was naturally just perfunctory and smiled brightly, so at this moment, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and then Xue Pan urged, rushing to see Tang Xiaoqing, Feng Ziying was not so anxious, but it was also a look that couldn't be suppressed, the group came out of the flower hall and went to the serious courtyard inside, and the bustard mother was there to greet the guests, If you want to see Tang Xiaoqing, you must first meet the bustard mother.
Along the way, pavilions, pavilions, rockeries, ponds, etc., there is everything, and its luxury and beauty are far better than the general large courtyards.
Feng Ziying is familiar with a few familiar roads, bypassing several corridors, and arriving quickly, here a corridor is connected to the outside of the gate, is the entire Jinxiang Courtyard center courtyard, entering the courtyard gate, there are already waiting maids to welcome them to the hall, a woman in her thirties, full of beads and emeralds saw them, smiled and stepped forward to greet them, and Xue Pan and the four of them said a few words at random, quite familiar look, naturally it is the bustard's mother, and then asked Jia Wei, Feng Ziying came out to make an introduction to both parties, the bustard's mother's surname is Li, so Jia Wei and her are each other's "Li mother", "Young Master Wei" also said a few words.
After Xue Pan picked up the conversation from the side, the topic was naturally Tang Xiaoqing, the topic was concentrated, Jia Lian and the three also joined, Jia Wei looked at random, glancing east and west, at this time, the maid who welcomed the guests came with a few people from afar, Jia Wei's eyes swept by, one or two of them were somewhat familiar, so they fixed, looked at each other, and then shrugged...... Okay, I actually ran into Wei Ruolan.
Led by the maidservant, Wei Ruolan and his entourage walked through the courtyard, went up the steps, the main hall was brightly lit, and at this moment came to the threshold outside, before entering, Wei Ruolan saw Jia Wei at a glance, was stunned, and then floated a tacit smile, Jia Wei was also funny, stepped forward, and bowed, "Brother Ziyi is also here." Turning his gaze slightly, he retracted it, and there was one person beside Wei Ruolan, who was a little rude to him in the Guozijian at that time, but the others didn't know him.
"The little young girl is so famous, she has to come."
Wei Ruolan said, entering the hall, very calmly, interacting with famous prostitutes is fashionable, naturally it doesn't matter, several people also came in, looked at Jia Wei slightly, the scholar who was rude to Jia Wei in the Guozijian nodded slightly, and Jia Wei also nodded at him.
After saying a few words with Wei Ruolan, a large group of people were in the house, out of care and etiquette, many words could not be talked at this moment, and then they introduced each other to their companions, in fact, the Wei family and the Jia family are world friends, but in their generation, they move around less, and they are inevitably alienated from each other, at this time, when talking about the origin of the two families, there is no shortage of topics, Jia Lian and Wei Ruolan chatted, Jia Wei learned the name of the rude person at this time, the surname is Xia Mingcheng, the word Wenhua, and the two sides also talked a little or two, but lightly.
After a while, the topic was still focused on Tang Xiaoqing, but there were a few more Wei Ruolan, more enthusiastic, Xia Cheng and others took out the invitation, Jia Wei also took it out, and handed it to Li's mother together, Wei Ruolan himself is one of the principals of the poetry club, there is no need for an invitation, he is not so boring, he writes one for himself, and tonight he has to go in with Xia Cheng and others, of course, as soon as everyone introduces, the focus is undoubtedly him.
A servant girl walked away quickly with their post, naturally going to Tang Xiaoqing's side and handing it over to her to decide whether to see or not.
Everyone was waiting in the hall, Jia Wei and Wei Ruolan talked at this time, talked about the reasons for the invitation, and the matters at the poetry meeting, these questions Jia Wei naturally did not take the initiative to go to the country to ask, but since they met here, they might as well ask, talk for a while, and everyone who should know is basically understood, the reason for the invitation is really as Li Kun and others said, it is to see that he may have unrevealed poetic talent, the other party did find Zhao Heng to understand his situation, but also frankly said that the invitation to do poetry has nothing to do with the background of the family, the matters at the poetry meeting, He said a lot of things, some of which he had heard from Li Kun and others, and some of whom he had never heard of.
Here they were chatting, and there were also talking in twos and threes, and Mother Li was also talking a few words from time to time, so casually speaking, Xia Cheng casually asked which other scholars asked to see Tang Xiaoqing tonight, Mother Li also carefully read out the names of several people, and when she read a name called "Ji Qian", several companions who came with Wei Ruolan, including Xia Cheng, all looked slightly sluggish, Wei Ruolan was talking to Jia Wei, and when she heard it, her expression also changed slightly, and then she smiled and shook her head imperceptibly.
"Why, Brother Ziyi seems to be ...... to this person," Jia Wei asked tentatively.
"Oh, I'm not much of this person, it's just that this person has a bit of a conflict with me." Wei Ruolan said with a smile, but she didn't hide it.
"I'm a little curious, Brother Ziyi is one of the most talented people in the capital, this person has an intentional dispute with Brother Ziyi, could it be that this person is also a first-class person of Brother Ziyi?"
"Brother Shen praises falsely, but speaking of this person, ......"
Wei Ruolan pondered the wording, talking about this Ji Qianlai, although it was euphemistic and vague, but Jia Wei combined some speculations, but it was also roughly clear, this Ji Qian's word Yuzhen, eighteen years old, is indeed one of the famous talents in the capital, on various occasions and Wei Ruolan has competed in poetry and articles, and occasionally beats Wei Ruolan, but most of the time it is slightly inferior, because of the extremely conceited temperament, so he is always unconvinced, and the words are not concealed, Wei Ruolan does not care about him, but Ji Qian always regards him as an opponent.
This time Ji Qian is also one of the directors of the Tongshan Poetry Club, like Wei Ruolan, both of them are new directors, there are several directors, some of the directors are old, only responsible for the organization, and they are not easy to compete in poetry, but young and handsome people like Wei Ruolan and Ji Qian, although they are in charge, they still have to participate in the poetry, before, Ji Qian has released a rumor that he will overwhelm Wei Ruolan at this Tongshan Poetry Conference. Therefore, when they met Ji Qian here tonight, Wei Ruolan and others couldn't help but have some emotional reactions.
