Chapter 32: Xining Pavilion

September 9, Chung Yeung Festival. In the previous life, because of the development of culture, this day was designated as Respect for the Aged Day. In fact, in history, this day is just a day of autumn. The whole family goes out and gathers together to enjoy the autumn scenery, somewhat similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

However, in this world, it is a continuation of Qin Yi's historical activities in his previous life, and brothers and friends travel together to enjoy the scenery outside the city. As Qin Yi saw, by the Xining River, there were many pedestrians there, admiring the scenery in the rice fields. or the people of Danqing, painting on the ridges; Or there are literati and writers, standing on a high place, reciting poems to enjoy the scenery.

However, Qin Yi didn't have the energy to appreciate all this, instead he quickened his pace and went west along the Xining River, about to go to Xining Pavilion.

Xining Pavilion is located in the area of Xining River close to Xicheng, built near the river, looking at Xining Pass in the distance, backed by the city of Xining Town, and facing a valley across the river. Ascending to the attic and looking north, it is a large area of ripe golden rice at this time.

The rivers in the Great Xia either flow from west to east or from north to south, but this Xining River is strange, flowing from east to west and flowing into the territory of Xirong. But this river is extraordinary, nourishing many towns along its banks. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the Xining River is the mother river in the western part of Daxia.

Qin Yi's speed was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at Xining Pavilion.

Although he grew up in Xining Town, he rarely came to Xining Pavilion. After all, in Qin Yi's impression, Xining Pavilion, a place to enjoy the grand scenery, is indeed a place unique to those famous families in Xining Town. In fact, he never imagined that he would be able to come to Xining Pavilion one day.

When Qin Yi looked up, under the early morning sun, Xining Pavilion was really as you said, carving dragons and painting phoenixes, and the pillars were exquisite. This is simply not the attic that the western part of Great Xia should have, it should exist in the imperial palace. At least, Qin Yi thought so at the first glance of Xining Pavilion.

"Come, please show me the invitation!"

Suddenly, someone walked out of the gate of Xining Pavilion and blocked Qin Yi's way. Qin Yi raised his eyes to look at each other, but saw that this person had a public face, without the slightest expression on his face, and was wearing rattan armor, but he was not wearing a helmet. Seeing this person's outfit, he knew that this was the guard of Xining Pavilion.

After all, Xining Pavilion is a place for some famous families to visit and meet with each other, and it is not something that ordinary people can approach.

Therefore, the people who come to Xining Pavilion, except for those famous families and officials, all need invitations. This is the rule, Qin Yi naturally knows it.

"I received an invitation from Liu Ruyan to participate in the Chongyang Cultural Conference!"

As Qin Yi spoke, he took out his red invitation and handed it to the guards in front of him. When the guards unfolded it, they made a "please" gesture and got out of the way.

"Yo, I didn't expect the celebrity Qin Yi, who is full of flowers, to come too?"

Qin Yi was about to take a step and enter Xining Pavilion, when a voice that was neither yin nor yang came from behind him.

"I thought you were too timid to participate in this Chongyang Cultural Meeting? What's the matter, do you want to fight poetry later? However, I don't think your level of poetry is so high, I'm afraid you have to admit defeat to me in front of everyone, right? ”

Qin Yi turned around with the sound, but he saw Xue Gui. This is a well-known figure in the academy, the second grandson of the Xue family in Beicheng, Xining Town, and his knowledge and talent are praised by the people in the academy. Even a strict division commander like Ke Zhengshan has a blue eye for him.

He and Qin Yi had a confrontation in Huamanlou, but that time Qin Yi overwhelmed him with the words "Fixing the Storm: Self-Seeking", so as to win Liu Ruyan's favor. Of course, because of this incident, Qin Yi and his family suffered persecution from Zheng Ping. If you want to say that there is no shadow of Xue Gui behind this, Qin Yi will not believe it if he is killed.

After all, how could a person with a prominent background like Xue Gui, after a famous family, be willing to be pressed by a poor ghost scholar like himself?

It is precisely because of this that Xue Gui will see opportunities from time to time, and he will sarcastically mock Qin Yi.

However, Qin Yi is not a vegetarian either, and sneered at each other: "I heard that Xue Gongzi's talent is very good, and he almost won the first place in the literary meeting in the building a while ago, I don't know if you let me?" Or am I already at a higher level than you? ”

His words were like a sharp knife inserted into Xue Gui's heart, which made people extremely uncomfortable. I saw that Xue Gui's face turned pale, and he was speechless, and said hesitantly: "You...... Don't be arrogant...... Later, the manager will tell you to lose face in front of Liu Ruyan! ”

After finishing speaking, Xue Gui walked away and walked into the gate of Xining Pavilion. After he is a famous family, he does not need to show an invitation. This is the biggest difference between him and Qin Yi, and why does he always have a condescending expression, as if a poor person like Qin Yi has to serve him?

Seeing the arrival of the young talents around him one after another, Qin Yi also followed into the gate of Xining Pavilion. At this time, he no longer felt bad about the situation that he had just met Xue Gui and was ridiculed by him. He's relaxed and ready for the next challenge.

Chongyang Cultural Society, after all, the people who came were all from the whole town, and even from the surrounding towns. Although these people are all young talents, as Qin Yi knew before, they are mixed. Therefore, in this literary meeting, Qin Yi has predicted that no matter what, he will not be able to avoid the links of fighting poems, fighting words, and even competing articles!

In fact, a person's reputation is accumulated step by step with this. For example, Qin Yi's poem in Huamanlou a while ago has been spread from Huamanlou and sung in several green buildings, and people naturally know that this poem was written by Qin Yi.

He walked into Xining Pavilion, climbed to the highest floor, and looked at it, many young talents had already arrived at this time. Qin Yi saw some familiar people, including Zheng Ping, but Qin Yi did not step forward to say hello, but silently found a place marked with his name and sat down.

This is the highest floor of Xining Pavilion, and the environment is naturally extremely beautiful. There are only railings on all sides, and the beautiful scenery outside the pavilion can be enjoyed by everyone. The space on the top floor is huge, because of the square shape, there are the same number of tables arranged on each side, and the four treasures of the study are placed on it.

The tables on each side are divided into three rows and five columns, and there are a total of 60 tables and chairs, which means that the number of people participating in this meeting is at least 60 or more. Each person has their own number, which is based on the location, so that the communication will be carried out at the beginning of the meeting. Qin Yi is in the first row of the east row, which means that he is the first in the second row on the east side of Xining Pavilion.

The four sides of the table are neatly arranged, enclosing the huge space in the middle, and the table of black stone jade is placed in the center, which should obviously be the location of Liu Ruyan, the organizer of this cultural meeting.

The young talents came one after another, nodding their heads to each other, and the noise was not short, but Qin Yi was the only one who sat in his own place and did not participate in their discussion at all.
