Chapter 096: I Heard You're Married
On the morning of Laba, a two-horse luxury carriage came to pick up Xu Xian to participate in the Laba Poetry Meeting.
The Laba Poetry Club was held in Ninghou Mansion and was presided over by the eldest lady of Ninghou Mansion.
It turned out that the Laba Poetry Club was held in a fixed location, and it was held by Bianjing celebrities and ladies in turn.
When Xu Xian arrived at Ninghou Mansion, the other invited talents were also basically present.
Xu Xian and these talents got to know each other, and found that they were all famous talents in Bianjing and even the entire Dasheng Kingdom, and he was the youngest and youngest invited talent.
Although those great talents have been famous for a long time, they are very polite to Xu Xian, praising Xu Xian "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together" and "The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the moon dusk" These two poems are very well written, which can be called a stroke of genius.
Xu Xian responded modestly, realizing that his worries before coming were unnecessary.
He originally thought that there would be a jealousy and poetry competition at the poetry meeting, but now the attitude of these great talents is basically more modest, with one saying and two saying two, and they will not belittle others and elevate themselves.
Not long after getting to know each other with seven or eight talented people, the poetry meeting soon officially began, and a group of celebrities and noblewomen with outstanding temperament and appearance appeared in front of Xu Xian and other talents.
Although it was a poetry club, the atmosphere was very easy-going, there was no grand limited theme, and there was not even a fixed seat, so they gathered in a large courtyard to compose poems and comment on poems.
In fact, it is the celebrities and ladies who really write poems, they make poems in advance, and at this time they take them out for everyone to appreciate, and Xu Xian and other talents play the role of judges.
Xu Xian saw Tang Wanrong, she was with Liao Xueyan.
These celebrities and noble women, Xu Xian knew Tang Wanrong and Liao Xueyan, so he had to take the initiative to go up and ask for a salute.
"Xu Xian, the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers, Leaning on the Dangerous Building" you gave me has been spread in Bianjing, and many people love it very much." Liao Xueyan said to Xu Xian with a smile, "'The clothes and belts are gradually widened and they will not regret it, and they will be haggard for Yi' has become their mantra. ”
Xu Xian smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Third Miss, for making a name for yourself." ”
"Hee-hee, you're welcome. Your poetry is already good. Liao Xueyan said with a smile.
At the end, she glanced at Tang Wanrong and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the county lord doesn't like Zhang Yang." If she spreads the song "If Life Is Only as First Seen" you sent, I'm afraid it will be even more crazy. ”
Actually, she still thinks that the poem that Xu Xian gave her is better, but after all, she has to pat Tang Wanrong, the county lord's ass.
"Xu Xian, I'm disappointed to you, the county lord didn't help you make a name for yourself." Tang Wanrong apologized to Xu Xian.
Xu Xian smiled and said: "It's good that the county lord likes that poem, Xu doesn't care if others know." ”
"Hmm." Tang Wanrong bowed slightly, and some charming smiles appeared on her beautiful face.
The poetry club is not as beautiful or obscene as outsiders think, and the ladies and ladies and talented people all pay attention to the etiquette, not to mention that there is a large group of waiting maids watching next to them, and it is impossible to do anything out of the ordinary.
Of course, it's not all poetry, there are three or four unmarried young talents who are clearly favored by more young celebrities.
Although Xu Xian is already married, he is very young, and celebrities who don't know the situation think that he hasn't married a wife yet, so he is almost surrounded by celebrities talking, so that it is difficult for him to find an opportunity to say a few words alone with Tang Wanrong.
"Look, those people have been deceived by Xu Xian." Liao Xueyan smiled mischievously and whispered to Tang Wanrong.
They sat in a corner resting and sipping tea.
Tang Wanrong was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”
"Tell you a secret." Liao Xueyan put her small mouth together and said mysteriously in Tang Wanrong's ear, "Xu Xian has already married." ”
"What?!" Tang Wanrong was taken aback and shouted loudly.
Liao Xueyan looked at Tang Wanrong with a somewhat strange gaze, and said, "County Lord, you won't be interested in Xu Xian's liar, right?" ”
"Hehe, how is that possible?" Tang Wanrong forced a smile and said, "I, I'm surprised, after all, he seems to be very young, and he has only been on the show for a short time." ”
Liao Xueyan snorted angrily with great sympathy: "It's not! This Xu Xian must be a hungry wolf, otherwise why would he get married so early? ”
Tang Wanrong didn't speak, in fact, she didn't listen to Liao Xueyan's words, she was very uncalm in her heart.
Her sweetheart has already married, how can she be calm?
The poetry meeting was coming to an end, and Xu Xian finally had the opportunity to talk to Tang Wanrong alone.
"I heard that ......" Tang Wanrong looked at Xu Xian, and her voice paused for a while before continuing, "You are already married." ”
Xu Xian's face couldn't help but feel guilty, and he said silently: "Yes." ”
She ...... How are the people? Tang Wanrong said again.
Xu Xian said: "She's fine. ”
"That's good." Tang Wanrong sniffed, and said quietly, a little to herself, "Although I am a county lord, outsiders seem to have a noble status and enjoy wealth and glory, but in fact, I am just a bird in captivity, and I have no freedom, including my own marriage." ”
Xu Xian's mind was a little blank at this time, and he could hear Tang Wanrong comforting himself and telling him not to feel guilty, because even if he didn't get married, I was afraid it would be difficult to marry her.
"I think the poem you gave me that day was good. If life is only as it first sees, hehe, it's really good. Tang Wanrong then said, "This is the best poem in the world." ”
Xu Xian sighed and said, "I'm sorry ......"
"There's nothing I'm sorry for, after all, I left first." Tang Wanrong forced a smile and said, "It was me who retreated cowardly first." ”
She finally said, "Okay, I'm a little tired, I'm going to leave and go home first." ”
Xu Xian's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything after all, so he could only stand up and bow his hand to Tang Wanrong to say goodbye.
Tang Wanrong also stood up and silently returned the salute, then turned around and left.
Looking at the lonely shadow that Tang Wanrong left, Xu Xian wanted to shout her name loudly, but what qualifications did he have?
He couldn't give her any happiness, not even a promise, and if he pestered her any more, it would only bring her more pain.
This is no longer a question of whether he works hard or not, and it is not a question of whether he gives up his life.
It is impossible for the dignified county lord and the emperor's niece to be a concubine, or even a flat wife.
Tang Wanrong kept holding back her tears, and when she said goodbye to Liao Xueyan and the host Miss Ninghou Mansion when she left, she had a smile on her face and seemed to be having a good time.
It wasn't until she got into the carriage home that the tears in her beautiful eyes suddenly fell uncontrollably like beads of broken threads, and the jade hand covered her small mouth tightly and began to cry.
Her heart has been completely disillusioned, and the world has completely lost its color.
