Chapter 169: Flowing Water

The so-called flowing Qushui, first seen in Wang Xizhi's Tengwang Pavilion preface, later generations felt that it was very compelling, so they imitated it, and by the time of the Tang Dynasty, it had long been broken.

The so-called meandering water, refers to a zigzag river, the heritage of the palace is profound, and it can be made in a place like Chang'an in their own homes, and they don't know whether it is artificial or natural, everyone sits on the edge of the spring in the ice and snow, accompanied by the strange flowers and plants that bloom in the cold winter all around, it seems to have a bit of a fairyland feeling, but it does not feel cold.

A maid came at this time, handed a big fork more than one meter long to the hands of the guests, and saw that from the source of the hot spring water, slowly flowed down a wooden plate, on which there were various brands of wine, as well as fruits and vegetables.

This is the so-called flowing water, but this is not to let everyone make a better fork, in addition to the wine and food on the wooden plate, there will be some words, the guests need to improvise according to the words on the wooden plate to compose poems, do it in order to get the wine and food on the plate, if there are two people in a plate at the same time, it is better than to see who made the poem, it is considered the fun of the literati to drink and feast in their leisure time.

I saw that Qin Hao had just knelt down on the stall, and the sons on his side scattered in a hurry, and they all ran to the opposite side of the spring.

Li Xin was furious, such a move obviously did not intend to let Qin Hao eat.

Qin Hao was calm as usual, gently shook Li Xin's hand, and signaled him to be calm.

Li Tai smiled: "Brother Qin, are you still sure of this?" Do you want Xiao Wang to help you? ”

Qin Hao also smiled: "Fortunately, it's not a martial arts competition, if this is a group fight, I'm afraid I will have to slip away." ”

Li Tai said: "Qin Gongzi doesn't know, after all, this banquet is organized by the Wang family, what is the topic, I'm afraid that before the food is served, people already know, and even some staff members have done poetry early, if Brother Qin is all improvised, I'm afraid he will really go out hungry today." ”

Qin Hao said confidently: "It doesn't matter, back then, Cao Zijian was known as a talented person, Qin was not talented, but he was also confident that he would not lose to the ancients, and the prince himself was." ”

Li Tai's eyes lit up, and a little arrogance was aroused in his heart, so he said: "In this way, Xiao Wang will consult Brother Qin's high school." ”

After that, Li Tai had already lifted his robe and walked straight to sit opposite the spring.

Qin Hao saw that there were still people on his side, in addition to Du He, Chai Lingwu and Dai Zhide actually knelt on his side, which made him slightly surprised.

"Brother Chai."

"Hehe, Brother Qin's talent, how can others not understand the younger brother, there are many people opposite, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat enough to sit opposite."

Dai Zhide also said: "I feel the same way, and I'm still waiting for Brother Qin to have a glass of wine." ”

Qin Hao laughed when he heard this, and at this time, those wooden plates had floated in front of him, and said to Li Xin: "Which one do you want to eat?" My husband will help you get it. ”

Li Xin glanced at him and said, "What a thick face, who are you husband, I want that pear." ”

Qin Hao looked over, only to see a plate of two pears, only a flower word was written on the wooden plate, and there was a hoof, only a cloud word was written on the wooden plate, a glass of grape wine, and a spring word was written on the plate.

Generally speaking, the topics on the Liuyu Qushui Banquet are from easy to difficult, and the appetizers are all very simple topics, such as flowers, moons, people who have read books for two years can make a few sentences, and it is not so easy to distinguish the high, the purpose is to let the scholars who are a little shallow in learning can also eat, and some real talents will not make a move at this time, such as Li Tai, seeing that Qin Hao is going to use flowers as a topic, he has no intention of getting up at all.

It's a pity that there are only a few of them in total, Chai Lingwu and Du He are eating and drinking, and Dai Zhide can barely make two sentences, but when he saw a white-faced Xiaosheng standing up on the opposite side, he smiled and said: "I'm here to throw bricks and lead jade, and offer ugliness." ”

"The snow in front of the pavilion is vast, and the warm spring water is murmuring. The flowers under the moon are gorgeous, and the toast is full of Confucian robes. ”

On the other side of the river, they applauded together, although this little poem does not contain half a flower word, but it is a pun on the word "competition", not only to say that these flowers can bloom on the shore in winter, but also to say that today's banquet is not how beautiful it is, but it is expensive to meet the situation, and it is really not good to make a strong poem in a moment.

Du He said in a low voice: "This is Xue Qian of the Xue family, and he is also a good hand at dancing knives and guns on weekdays, but I have never heard of his literary talents, and the poems should not be written by himself." ”

Qin Hao was slightly angry when he heard this, he was actually from the Xue family, this is really unreasonable, what is the relationship between me and your sister, do you not know in your heart? Why is the elbow still turning outward? Well.... said that he and Xue Qing really don't seem to have anything to do with it, and besides, this time he is for Li Xin, and from a certain point of view, there is nothing wrong with people.

Xue Qian finished chanting the poem, as if he was holding the victory, stretched out the pole to fork the plate of pears, and listened to Qin Hao chanting: "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, come in the middle of the night, go in the morning." When you don't have a lot of spring dreams, you can't find anywhere to go to the clouds. ”

While speaking, Qin Hao forked the pear away with a fork, and took away the hooves and grape wine in one go, and came to a big bag.

Only then did everyone react, and there were three words in a poem, such as flowers, clouds, and spring, and the artistic conception was much more profound than Xue Qiang's, and even satirized them.

This is.... Poetry that came up with an impromptu idea? Who is funny, this poem can be used to be admitted to the Jinshi!

Seeing Qin Hao handing out his hooves to Du He and Chai Lingwu, giving pears to Li Xin, and wine to Dai Zhide, he said with a smile: "Since a few of you are sitting with me, Qin always has to take care of the food." ”

As he spoke, Qin Hao saw a few more plates floating on the flowing water, and there was also wine and food, with the words wind, moon, and autumn written respectively.

But it was Li Tai who stood up first, and said like Qin Hao just now: "Xiaoxiao autumn wind, the soldiers began to go on the expedition, the boudoir in the Guannei, and the moon is looking forward to the return of the army." ”

After chanting, ignoring the applause of everyone, Li Tai just stared at Qin Hao with burning eyes, holding the pole in his hand but not moving, obviously waiting for Qin Hao to return the move, this one is also a poem and three words, and it was improvized, Li Tai's talent can be seen high.

Qin Hao said with a smile: "King Yue is so literate, Qin admires, admires, today is still in the victory of my army and congratulates, always talk about some things in the snow and the moon is boring, Qin also has a poem, please taste it." ”

"Chang'an is a month, and thousands of households pound clothes. The autumn wind blows endlessly, and it is always a jade relationship. He Riping Hulu, the beloved man went on an expedition. ”

I secretly said in my heart, although you Li Tai can be regarded as a good learner, and he is much stronger than me, but unfortunately, Lao Tzu is now possessed by Li Bai.

Li Tai smiled bitterly, the two poems have similar intentions, there is only resentment in his poems, but they are written majesticly, and there is a faint meaning of triumph, but it is much better than his.

This Li Tai is also a gentleman, naturally he will not be able to afford to lose, and at the moment he gave up his hand to admit defeat, Qin Hao accepted all three dishes with a smile.

On the other side of the river, dozens of sons and brothers watched Qin Hao and their elegant toasts and drinks, Du He and Chai Lingwu held their hooves and leg of mutton and gnawed on their mouths full of oil, and they felt resentful for a while, just a cold wind blew, and everyone felt a little cold when they had no food in their stomachs.

Who the hell is cleaning up whom? Faintly, everyone has some bad premonitions.
