Chapter 22: Peach Blossom Spring
The poetry meeting was held in the most famous peach blossom garden in the Se Garden, and it is said that this is the meaning of Zheng Qingzhi.
The Peach Blossom Garden is a scenic spot in the Se Garden, when Shi Miyuan had a favorite concubine who loved peach blossoms, so Shi Miyuan specially built this peach orchard with a radius of several acres in the Se Garden for his favorite concubine, and named Tao Yuanming Peach Blossom Spring.
In this peach blossom source of several acres, all kinds of peach trees are planted from all over the country. Every time the warm spring arrives, countless pink peach blossoms bloom and compete for beauty, in the colorful falling, the fragrance floats for several miles, and it is a grand scene in Lin'an City.
It is said that when the Peach Blossom Garden was first built, Zhao Yun would personally enjoy the scenery every year. Of course, Zhao Yun will definitely not come to this garden just to see the peach blossoms in this garden, but it also confirms the reputation of the peach blossom source from the side.
More than 200 scholars said that it was not much, and it was not much less, but it was enough for this peach blossom paradise to accommodate them. These scholars sat on the ground at a table of three or five, enjoying the peach blossoms, drinking wine and eating delicious food.
Jia Rudao is naturally among them.
At his table, in addition to him, there was also Yang Duo, who was familiar with him at the Qionglin banquet; In addition to Yang Duo, Shi Xiang didn't know what Lu Dao thought, but he also relied on Jia Yidao's table.
Shi Xianglai was by Jia Nidao's side, and Nalan Yu naturally shared the same table with Jia Nidao again.
Jia Rudao's table also attracted everyone's attention.
It is no secret that Shi Xiang and Jia Rudao are jealous because of the competition with Huang Jiaoniang in Lelou, but now the two are sitting at the same table and talking happily, looking like Shi Xiang even deliberately flattered Lu.
Of course, the most important thing is because of Nalan Yu.
The girls invited from the various green buildings to perform have not yet come out, and now all the men who appear in the Peach Blossom Garden, only Nalan Yu is a woman, and she is also an extremely beautiful beauty.
Looking at the appearance of Nalan Yu talking and laughing with Jia Yidao and Shi Xiang, it is obvious that this woman is not the forbidden body of the two, but at least the same person as the two of them.
It's hard for such a woman with status, status and appearance not to be eye-catching.
However, this joke is just a manifestation of what others see. If someone hears the conversation between Jia Yidao and Nalan Yu, then they won't think that they are talking and laughing.
"Jia Gongzi can also write poems?"
"Not very well, Jia can only recite poetry."
"Bard?"
"Yes, bard. Jia is so wet with a lewd hand. ”
"The hand is so wet?"
“…… That's right, is Miss Nalan interested? Jia must do his best to teach the Nalan girl to be obscene. ”
"Could it be that Jia Gongzi wants to teach Nalan Cricket Sutra?"
“……”
Shi Xiang on the side listened to the two arguing with each other, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead. If he had known that this Nalan Yu was the one who smashed Jia Rudao into the lake, he would not have promised his sister to bring Nalan Yu to this Seyuan Poetry Club.
It's good to have Zheng Hong with him on the road, and when he enters the garden, Zheng Hong, as the owner, naturally has to arrange things. Since Zheng Hong left, Nalan Yu began to quarrel with Jia Rudao, you come and go.
Jia seems to say that he needs to be wooed, and Nalan Yu is his sister's honored guest, and he can't afford to offend. Fortunately, someone came to relieve him.
"Brother Shixian, I regret what happened last night, and I have come to ask for my guilt! Brother Shixian is high and bright, please accept the son in case of worship! Yu Ci didn't know where Lu Dao came from, and he took a deep look at Jia Rudao, although his face was flushed, he still said loudly.
Yu Ci's voice was very loud, at this moment the poetry meeting had not been opened, the emperor Zheng Qingzhi had not yet arrived, and the noisy peach forest was instantly quiet.
No one thought that Yu Ci would take the initiative to apologize to Jia Yidao today and on such an occasion, and even took the gift of a student.
Among the hundreds of people present at the Qionglin Banquet last night, except for Nalan Yu, who didn't know the specific situation of Lu Dao, the rest of the people were very clear. Although the inside story is not very clear, everyone knows what is going on inside, and it is clear that it will not be Yu Cizheng who will report him as Jia Yidao said.
After all, Yu Ci, who is the son of Yu Tianxi, is also a celebrity in Lin'an City, isn't he? There are not only one or two people who know Yu Ci and befriend him and are familiar with his temperament.
In fact, before this, these scholars still had great expectations for today's Seyuan Poetry Society. In addition to the fact that Emperor Zheng Qingzhi will come in person, I also want to see how Yu Ci and Jia Yidao will open and end after they meet.
Although Jia Rudao let Yu Ci go last night, it can be said that he gave Yu Tianxi a big face and saved the Yu family from humiliation, but no one thinks that Yu Ci will be a good stubble, on the contrary, Yu Ci is definitely not an open-minded person.
Yu Ci has a deep background, and Jia Rudao is not far behind.
Those who already feel that they don't have much talent in poetry come to this poetry meeting today, except for watching some beauties to have a good time, the rest is to watch today's dragon battle that will inevitably happen in their opinion.
I thought about a lot of things Yu Ci would be like after seeing Jia Yidao today, either with cold eyebrows or vicious words, but I didn't expect it to be such a scene today.
Is this still the arrogant Yu Ziwan who used to be?
Could it be that this Yu Ziwan was also smashed in the head and lost his memory like that Jia Shixian? Otherwise, how could he perform that disciple in front of so many people? And also say words of reparation?
Jia Rudao, who was fighting with Nalan Yu and stealing fun, didn't expect Yu Ci to give himself such a play. Just, is this true or false?
"Brother Ziwan, what is this for? You're trying to make me Jia Shixian lose my life. ”
Countless pairs of eyes around him were watching, and Jia Rudao hurriedly got up and helped Yu Ci to say urgently. It's just that he is stubborn and motionless.
"Brother Shixian, please accept the son in case of worship!"
Which play is this? After a brief moment of shock, the soldiers began to whisper.
"Brother Ziwan, aren't you worshipping?" Jia Rudao said in a low voice.
"Ziwan hasn't worshiped yet!" Yu Ci said as he broke free from Jia Nidao, took two steps back, and solemnly looked at Jia Nidao deeply.
“……”
In Jia Rudao, he was slightly stunned, but his kung fu was alive, and he received this solemn gift from Yu Ci. Of course, this is also because he doesn't know exactly what kind of way Yu Ci has this gift, if he knows that Lu Dao is actually performing a disciple ceremony, he will definitely not accept it.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a crisp bang resounded throughout the Peach Blossom Spring.
Originally, a cadre of scholars who were still talking about it closed their voices and sat upright.
Is this the beginning of the poetry meeting?
"Brother Ziwan, please take a seat." Jia Rudao pulled Yu Ci, whose face was flushed, but his eyes were exceptionally clear, to sit on the side of Xiao Ji.
Nalan Yu looked at Jia Rudao and Yu Ci who was sitting in a precarious position with a puzzled expression, and directly told her that she seemed to have missed something. Driven by curiosity, he pulled Shi Xiang and asked in a low voice.
……
Four old men with fluttering white beards and robes appeared outside the park. At present, it is Zheng Hong, the initiator of this poetry meeting, who is not the emperor Zheng Qingzhi who is leading the way, and who is not the emperor Zheng Qingzhi who walks in the middle?
Not all peach trees are in the Peach Blossom Garden. At the beginning, in order to facilitate the enjoyment of the scenery, Shi Miyuan deliberately built a pavilion in the open area in the center of the peach blossom source, named Tinglan Pavilion.
Jia Rudao only knew Zheng Qingzhi, and he didn't know any of the other three old men.
Hearing that the seats had already been set up in the Lan Pavilion, as Zheng Qingzhi and the four of them sat down, all the scholars got up and said in unison: "Students meet Master Zheng, meet all teachers!" ”
The remaining five old men are obviously all famous people.
"No need to be polite, today's old man of the poetry club has time to invite Master Yuan, Master Du, and Master Li to come and guide you, and you don't let Master Yuan, Master Du, and Master Li down when you are a good student."
Zheng Qingzhi said aloud to the three old men sitting next to him.
"Students follow Master Zheng's teachings."
"Then, Master Yuan, Master Du, Master Li, the poetry meeting will start here?" Zheng Qingzhi looked at the three old men beside him and said with a smile.
"Zheng Gong is in charge." The three old men, known as Master Yuan, Master Du, and Master Li, smiled in unison and bowed in return.
As the four of them finished greetings, a large number of servants brought up the paper, ink, pen and inkstone that had been prepared one by one and placed them in front of the scholars.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
The literary style of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and there was not much false etiquette between the upper and lower levels. Especially when discussing knowledge, the atmosphere is extremely open-minded, and it is common sense to evaluate and circulate books with each other.
What's more, poetry and lyrics are elegant things, how can such elegant things make the atmosphere extremely dull? Wouldn't that take away the joy of poetry and lyrics?
The melodious sound of drum music sounded, and a large group of women wearing various colorful skirts came from the peach forest.
All kinds of women's body fragrances gather together to instantly overshadow the faint fragrance of peach blossoms, which makes people can't help but sway.
There is no doubt that this appeared, naturally they were all the top brands or famous prostitutes of the various green buildings who had been dressing up in the backyard house before.
The group of women came and then stopped at the edge of the peach grove on the side of Tinglan Pavilion, and dozens of servants of the Se Yuan quickly pulled up a long and wide pink gauze tent to surround the place where the women were standing.
It was the resting place of these women, and of course there was a wine feast in the tent. And through the pink gauze tent, you can still see the outside scene, but it is not easy to see the beauty inside.
With the appearance of these women, the already warm atmosphere suddenly became even higher. The hormones of each of the scholars have risen sharply. On such a grand occasion, if you can get two or three good words and sentences, you can not only win the appreciation of all teachers, especially Master Zheng, but also maybe you can also hold the beauty.
Looking at Shi Xiang, who was constantly twitching his nose and smelling the various body fragrances in the air and looking intoxicated, Jia Rudao secretly wiped the cold sweat on his head.
