Chapter 22 The second generation of officials gathered

(Thanks for the long support of the mechanical command!!) )

"Everyone, I'm sorry, Wei is late. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" came to the pavilion, and Wei Shuxuan apologized.

"It's good to be here, no one expects you to be on time." A teenager said.

"Little Brother Haoran is finally here?" Zhao Jie, who was in the seat, saw Wang Haoran behind Wei Shuxuan at this time, and hurriedly came over and enthusiastically held Wang Haoran's shoulders, and brought him to King Han to introduce to everyone: "Everyone, this is Wang Haoran, the writer of sketches who caused a sensation in the entire capital at that time. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jie introduced everyone present to Wang Haoran one by one, Zhao Jie didn't introduce it, and Wang Haoran was startled as soon as he introduced. Don't look at the little children here, but all of them are not small, Du He, Zhao Jie, Wei Shuxuan, needless to say, there are also Li Yuanchang, King of Han, Li Tai, King of Wei, Li Ke, King of Shu, Changsun Wuji's second son, Cheng Chuliang, the second son of Cheng Yanjin, and Li Chongyi, the eldest son of Li Xiaogong...... It is simply a gathering of the second generation of officials at the central level.

It is worth mentioning here that Li Tai, the king of Wei, is also used to calling him the Fourth Prince. According to historical records, Li Tai was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he knew calligraphy, painting, and poetry and writing, and Li Shimin doted on him very much. It is precisely because of this that Li Tai is arrogant and arrogant, and he has offended many people, and even the second generation of officials here now rarely have anything to do with him. Only Cheng Yanjin's honest son Cheng Chuliang really admires Li Tai's talent and gets closer to Li Tai. Later, Li Tai came up with the idea of becoming an emperor, but unfortunately he didn't do anything about it, so he was implicated and degraded because of the prince's rebellion, and the days since then have been ordinary.

Wang Haoran felt pity for what happened to Li Tai, what a talent! What kind of throne to fight for, if you can be a free prince in peace, you may be able to leave a name in history in calligraphy and painting, or articles and poems.

Eh, wait, talent? What Wang Haoran lacks is talent! Since Li Tai's future is so regrettable, why not recruit him? Thinking of this, Wang Haoran was excited, and he didn't realize what a shocking idea it was to recruit a prince.

Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, is also a person who loves painting, and he will be a great painter in the future! He once went to Yu Shinan Mansion to see Wang Haoran's paintings, and he couldn't forget it for a long time, and said many times that he wanted to meet Wang Haoran, which was why Zhao Jie warmly invited Wang Haoran to participate in the Yaji. After King Han invited Wang Haoran to take a seat, he was about to ask about sketching, but there was a sudden commotion outside the pavilion. Looking in the direction that everyone outside was watching, I saw a plump girl slowly boarding a luxurious ship with the support of the maid.

"Do you know who that girl is?" Zhao Jie, who was a little older, asked with a smile.

"Could it be the courtesan that Chai Lingwu and Fang Er Gongzi are fighting for today?" King Han asked.

"Exactly. This person is Fan Qiusi, the first courtesan in the capital, and I heard that it costs a hundred taels of silver to see her! It's very expensive. ”

"No matter how expensive she is, she's just a courtesan, what does she do? Come on, come on, let's play ours. Li Ke, the king of Shu, said disdainfully.

The gathering of all the boys is just eating, drinking and having fun, and what poetry is against and beautiful women are accompanied, that is something that only others can do. If they are so young, they will not be able to explain it to their elders.

I don't know how long later, a group of people came out of the luxurious boat in Qujiangchi, and one of them shouted to the people on the shore: "All the literati on the shore, tonight is such a beautiful day, but you are just groups of three or five chanting poems against each other, so boring. Ben Gongzi thought of a game, everyone participated, how about having a good time? ”

There was a cheer on the shore, and someone recognized that the person who was wearing and talking was Chai Lingwu, so he asked, "How to play the game that Chai Ergongzi said?" ”

"You have to have a jackpot to play a game, right? What do you use as a lottery head? ”

"The game is simple, you only need to compose a poem, and then you will choose the best one, and the best one will be ......," Chai Lingwu paused before continuing, "Fan Qiusi, the first courtesan in the capital, will play a song for him in front of him." ”

As soon as Chai Lingwu's voice fell, everyone was in an uproar, it was usually difficult to meet the first courtesan in the capital, but this time there was such a good thing, for some people, it doesn't matter if they can get the first place, the important thing is that no matter who wins, everyone can meet Fan Qiusi.

"Chai Er, this son knows that Ma Zhou's guy is on your boat, with him, who is sure to win the first place!" The one who spoke was the second son of Fang who was looking for Wang Haoran before.

"Haha...... Fang Er Gongzi doesn't need to worry about losing to Ma Zhou again, this time Ma Zhou will not participate in this game. Chai Lingwu didn't care about the unreasonableness of Fang Yiai, and joked with a smile.

Seeing that no one on the shore asked any more questions, Chai Lingwu said: "Since everyone has no other problems, let's start!" Who comes first? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone shouted: "Xiaosheng come first, you should be throwing bricks and leading the way." The scholar cleared his throat and said, "Talented people gather in the Furong Garden, and they all want to be the first; Not for fame and profit, just for the beauty of the side. ”

"Good!" Everyone praised. Although this poem is not a good poem, it is very good as a brick to attract jade.

"Not bad! I don't know who this name is? Chai Lingwu asked.

"Xiaosheng Guangyuan Liu Xuan." The scholar just now was overjoyed and hurriedly replied. It is a rare opportunity to report to oneself in front of the royal family and nobles, and maybe in the future, a certain royal family and nobleman here will change his hand so slightly because of today's impression, and his situation will be very different.

Some people took the lead, and others went out one after another, and for a time the sound of poetry and cheers continued. The people in the pavilion also listened to it with relish, Wang Haoran felt bored after listening to a few poems, it was better to talk about the dim sum in front of him with Cheng Chuliang, who didn't like poetry. I think what he learned back then were classic poems that had been passed down for thousands of years and could still be talked about, and the poems made by these people could really be degraded to the point that there was no scum left.

"Good poetry!"

A burst of cheers was louder than before, and Wang Haoran raised his head to see what was going on. Listening to the discussion of the Han King, it turned out that the second son of Fang had made a masterpiece, which attracted applause from the audience. Isn't this second son the fat boy who was looking for his bad luck before? I can't see that there's still a bit of ink!

"Good poetry indeed! I didn't expect Fang Ergongzi's poetry attainments to be so good. Chai Lingwu also commented very objectively.

Later, a few more people stood up and chanted poems, but compared with the poems of Fang Ergongzi, they were obviously at a disadvantage, and then no one stood up and chanted poems.

"Who else has a good work?" After being quiet for a while, Chai Lingwu asked, but no one answered.

"It seems that tonight's competition is won by Fang Ergongzi, can you agree?" Chai Lingwu asked again.

"Agreed." The crowd replied.

"That ......"

"Wait a minute! Boy, I also have a poem. Chai Lingwu was about to announce the results of the competition, but Wang Haoran was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted loudly, startling the Han King and them. Wang Haoran's idea is very simple, anyone can win here, but this person who has offended himself can't!

The most surprising thing is the people in the pavilion, this kid was just thinking about eating snacks just now, why did he suddenly think of composing poetry? Wei Shuxuan guessed a few points, so he told everyone about Fang Ergongzi's bullying of Wang Haoran, and everyone suddenly realized.

"But little brother Haoran, the poems of the second son of Fang can be regarded as excellent works, can you be sure of winning him?" Zhao Jie asked.

"It's not a big problem."

Cheng Chuliang laughed and said: "I said Haoran, we didn't pay attention to the outside just now, I don't know what kind of poem the second son of the house wrote, can you hear it clearly?" ”

“…… No. ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, they didn't even know what the poems written by the other party were, and they could still be so confident, where did this confidence come from? Li Tai has never been so arrogant.

"It's you!" Fang Ergongzi recognized Wang Haoran and laughed, "I said that you are a bastard boy, you can't learn a few words to compose poems, think carefully about your poems and then say them, so as not to be too embarrassed!" ”

"I'm really sorry, the kid can really write poetry after learning a few words."
