Chapter 37: A Lady's Toast
Cai Yong couldn't help frowning when he saw the voices of discussion in the audience, and after glancing at Wang Yun, he said: "Now that it's autumn, then I'll take the autumn scenery as the theme and express what I have seen, I don't know which talent will come first."
As soon as he spoke, the audience gradually fell silent.
After a few breaths, a plainly dressed young man stood up, bowed to the wooden platform, and said, "Xiaosheng is Yingchuan Chen Xun." After introducing his own family, he began to enter the theme and said: "Autumn flowers and grass are yellow, wind and rain are desolate, tears and candles are sad, and one disappears and the other grows." I think that since the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu conquered the Huns, and when the trade was at its peak, the four seas were leveled, but now it is the autumn tree and yellow leaves, falling in the West Mountain. Pathetic, alas! The student is not talented, and he asks for forgiveness after a few words of vain. After speaking, he bowed.
When everyone in the audience heard this, they were all shocked, this person actually alluded in public, so bold, they couldn't help but inquire about their identity and background, and several stunning people on the stage naturally looked sideways, only the beautiful eyes of a woman fell elsewhere.
Cai Yong and Wang Yun on the stage changed color one after another, Cai Yong stroked his beard and said: "Today, we will only talk about the autumn scenery, not anything else, and I hope you will be cautious in your words and deeds, and think twice." He waved his hand to Chen Xun, who had just spoken, and motioned for him to sit down, and said sharply: "It's better to do this, Wen Ji, the daughter of the old decaying family, strokes the qin, so as to broaden the thinking of all the talents."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Cai Yan.
Cai Yan is known as the first talented woman in Beijing and has attracted much attention. As soon as she got up, many young people in the audience were stunned, looking at the beauties on the stage with straight eyes, and such an obsessive look was not polite at all.
After Cai Yan's beautiful figure bowed, Qianbai's jade hand stroked the piano, and a melodious sound wave began to spread around, the sound of the piano was urgent and slow, fast and slow, as crisp and tactful as the yellow bird out of the valley, and as pleasant as the mountains and flowing water, everyone in the audience shook their heads and closed their eyes, looking like the situation. Everyone was drunk, only one person drank alone, this person was Wei Ning, it was not that he didn't want to close his eyes and listen, but those beautiful eyes kept looking at him, and he could only drink alone to show his innocence, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
After the tea effort, the wonderful sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and everyone in the audience had their own attitudes, some were still intoxicated by the sound of the piano, and some had to talk very happily with their ears, so they didn't know whether they were talking about Cai Yan's daughter, or the beauty of the piano.
Just when everyone was talking to each other, Cai Yan on the wooden platform stood up again with a salute and said: "I have heard that Gongzi Wei Ning knows the rhythm of the qin, I don't know if I can deign to stroke the qin." The voice was as beautiful as clear flowing water, and everyone in the audience was thrilled to hear it, only Wei Ning had a bitter face and made a sound.
In recent days, a big news in the capital has shattered the hearts of many talented people, Cai Yan and Cai Wenji, who enjoy the title of the first talented woman, actually set a marriage, after some detailed investigation, the person who made a marriage with Cai Yan was actually Wei Ning, a tyrant in the market of Anyi, Hebei, although he was born in a famous family, but his reputation was extremely bad, and most of the talents heard about it, they all thought that Wei Ning had used some despicable means, and they were all angry and beat their chests, eager to kill him and then quickly.
Everyone followed Cai Yan's gaze and locked on Wei Ning himself, who was dressed in gorgeous armor, Wei Ning looked at everyone's cannibalistic gaze, stood up hard, glanced at Cai Yan on the wooden platform, and said: "I can't play the piano in the next place, but I can nominate one person, this person has been well versed in the rhythm of the piano since he was a child, the sound is released, and he can send and receive freely, and he will definitely be able to respond to the voice of a talented woman."
Although everyone's eyes could kill him a thousand times, they still couldn't help but wonder who Wei Ning was talking about.
Looking at everyone's wolf-like eyes, Wei Ning opened his mouth and said, "This person is Yuan Qi, the son of Yuan Taifu."
After speaking, he looked at Yuan Qi, who was angry and fat-headed, and had big ears on the other side.
After Yuan Qi heard the sound, his fat body slowly stood up, touched his round chin and said with a smile: "Wei Gongzi is really good at laughing, presumably Gongzi is talking about another person from my Yuan family, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu." ”
When the handsome man sitting in front of him heard this, he stood up and said angrily: "Yuan Qi, what are you talking nonsense." Although he can also play the piano, but being instigated to play it like this, no one must be willing.
Yuan Qi replied: "Among the descendants of my Yuan family, didn't you Yuan originally think that you were the most talented, and Ben Shao was just a foil to you."
After Yuan Qi pronounced it, Yuan Shu, who was a little gloomy beside him, also spoke: "Yes, brother, your talent is unparalleled in the world, why don't you show your literary talents."
"You, you!" Yuan Shao pointed at Yuan Qi and the others, his face was very angry, and the words were all on this, he didn't know that those rumors must be the ghosts of these two people.
"I heard that Wei Gongzi and Miss Cai Wenji have a marriage, but I don't know if it's true or not." Just when Yuan Shao seemed to be angry, a handsome young man in a brocade robe stood up and turned his conversation to Wei Ning again, but his eyes looked at Cai Yong on the wooden platform.
After hearing this, Cai Yong nodded at him after a little thought.
Everyone in the audience looked sad when they saw such a situation, and the sighs sounded one after another, and the young talent who stood up to speak was particularly obvious, with an extremely sad look, and looked at Wei Ning who was drinking opposite, "I don't know what talent Wei Gongzi has, Miss Cai Wenji can be matched, I really want to know a thing or two." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Wei Ning with a look of resentment.
Even Cai Yong, Wang Yun and the four women on the stage looked at him.
After listening to this, Wei Ning picked up the wine glass, his heroic posture was enviable, and he smiled with some wine: "Caide, what is Caide." Ensuring the prosperity of the country and benefiting the people, not making the people unclothed, and not making the people hungry! Winning in battle, not letting the soldiers die in vain, not letting the soldiers kill in vain is virtue! These two words are not for you to use to fight for the wind and be jealous. ”
looked at Dong Ci with disdain, this name was still heard by him.
After hearing this, everyone looked thoughtful, and the two plainly dressed young men in the back seat glanced at each other, and the one on the left said, "Wen Ruo, what do you say about this person." The handsome young man on the right shook his head and said, "It's not yet broken."
Cai Yong and Wang Yun on the high platform both nodded with relief in their eyes.
Just when everyone was thinking, Mihuan on the wooden platform picked up the wine glass, and walked down the wooden platform under the surprised gaze of everyone, and walked in front of Wei Ning with a slender and delicate body, and said calmly: "I have heard that Miss Cai Wenji's future husband is handsome and heroic, and now she is even more famous when she sees it, and the little woman has the liberty to come to pay tribute to her son." After finishing speaking, the green sleeves covered his face and drank the turbid wine in the bowl.
