Chapter 19: Birthday Poems
"Old man Gongsun has arrived!"
As the words came out, the courtyard fell silent for a while, and I saw an old man with gray hair walking in a purple-red long-life shirt in front of the mansion hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Don't look at the old man's age, but his spirit is very good, his movements are neat, and his steps are steady. Next to him is the granddaughter Gongsun Ningxuan, who is generous and smiling, like the god of Luoshui.
"You can come to the old man's birthday banquet, the old man Sun Yi has thanked everyone here." The old man seemed to be in a good mood and smiled.
"Bowu, why is there only a granddaughter of Lord Fu Yin, but why hasn't his son appeared?" Looking at the old and the young, Meng Fan asked with some curiosity. The 70th birthday is a grand day, and it is a little strange that the family did not arrive.
"The son of Grandpa Gongsun is the iron-blooded general of my Great Xia Dynasty, and he led the army to station in the northern fortress to defend against the Xiongnu, because of his existence, the Northern Xiongnu did not dare to go south. At this moment, although it is grandpa Gongsun's birthday, the general can't come back. Ye Bowu said with emotion, and he admired this general Gongsun very much.
"I see, this general is really admirable." Meng Fan admired, if it weren't for the fact that these people were squandering their blood, far away from their hometowns, and guarding the frontier, how could they have such a prosperous era as Lin'an Mansion today.
Next, the old man Gongsun and the others said something more, but Meng Fan didn't pay attention to listen to it, it was nothing more than some words of blessing from everyone, and Meng Fan was also boring to listen to. Instead, I inquired with Ye Bowu about some foreign enemies around the Great Xia Dynasty.
Ye Bowu also knew that this eldest brother had just returned to Lin'an Mansion, and he also told him everything he knew.
"Big brother, big brother...", interrupting Meng Fan's contemplation, Ye Bowu said, "I want to celebrate Grandpa Gongsun's birthday." His old man's favorite poems, do you have some good poems to help me. You also know that it's easy for me to go into battle and kill the enemy, but this poem is really difficult for me. Ye Bowu drooped his head and frowned.
"Oh? Do you also want to go up to Lord Fu Yin to celebrate his birthday? Meng Fan asked curiously. But not all people are qualified to go forward to celebrate their birthdays, otherwise they will not be overcrowded, and this noon will be spent in the birthday speeches one by one.
"Well, I don't like that Su Mujin the most, I always like to show off my name as a talented person, and I have the ability to go into battle with me to kill the enemy to see who is more powerful." Ye Bowu said sullenly, obviously very wrong with Su Muchen.
"What, you say he's Su Muchen? What is the first genius in Lin'an Mansion? Meng Fan was surprised, damn, handsome and talented, this guy is really good. Looking at his appearance, he is also Gongsun Ningxuan's suitor, why didn't he catch up? Meng Fan was curious.
"Yes, big brother, is there a way to press him, every time I am compared to him." Listening to the tone of the eldest brother, Ye Bowu was even more annoyed, could it be that the eldest brother had no choice.
"Well, it's not nothing, although he is a great talent, we will not lose to him." Meng Fan pondered for a while and said, but Meng Fan's words made Ye Bowu happy, the eldest brother is not only easy to get along with, but also very knowledgeable, even for the first time in Lin'an Mansion, he is not timid at all, no wonder he can still live well if he offends his sister like that.
"Come here with your ears." Looking around, Meng Fan whispered to Bo Wu.
Ye Bowu hurriedly put his ears up, listened quietly, the more he listened, the more excited he became, and at the end, his face was excited, and he couldn't wait to rush up to show it.
After everyone celebrated their birthdays, the old man Gongsun smiled. At this time, Su Muchen walked to the front of the hall from the side, saluted Gongsun Yi, and said respectfully: "Grandpa Gongsun, today is your seventieth birthday. ”
"Okay, I'm happy today, but I can listen to the talent of our Lin'an talent." When it came to composing poems, the smile on the old man's face really became even thicker, and his eyes drifted over his granddaughter from time to time. The provoked grandson Ning Xuanqiao's face was slightly red, and she was stunned by a few young talents who were sitting closer.
Su Lianqing, the governor next to him, smiled very happily, his son is the first genius in Lin'an Mansion, seeing his son so outstanding, he naturally has a lot of face when he is Lao Tzu.
On the other hand, the governor on the side left the night for a long time, although he was also smiling, but this smile was a little bitter. Although her daughter is indeed very good, not much worse than Na Su Muchen, and she is also a think tank in the army, with great courage and strategy, it is a pity that she is a daughter.
In this era of male superiority and inferiority, the status of women is inferior to that of men after all.
Ye Chang also has a son from his knees, who is brave and brave, and is a rare general, but it is a pity that this literary style is far from his sister, not to mention compared to Su Muchen. It's no wonder that Ye Changli smiled bitterly.
Su Muchen walked a few steps in front of the mansion hall, smiled indifferently, and looked at Gongsun Yi on the stage, this faint smile coupled with his handsome appearance, there were already many young ladies of the family who blushed, with some confusion in their eyes, and looked at the son in front of the stage.
Su Muchen waved the green fan in his hand slightly, and said: "Penglai pine and cypress branches are beautiful, and the abbot hibiscus is fresh; Mount Tai is not old, and the sea of blessings is endless. ”
Bang Bang Bang -
Suddenly, there was a round of applause and applause around, worthy of being the first genius in Lin'an Mansion, and the poems came casually.
Gongsun Ningxuan, who was next to Gongsun Yi, couldn't help but nod, this poem is indeed excellent.
After hearing this, Meng Fan secretly praised: "The name of a talented man is not boastful, and his reputation is well deserved." Just thinking about it, he frowned, the poems he told Ye Bowu before seemed to be pressed by the poems of this Su Gongzi.
His mind was in a hurry, so he hurriedly looked to the side, but there was still a figure of Ye Bowu. Meng Fan secretly said badly, isn't this a pit for his little brother. said that he wanted to tell him an evenly matched poetry couplet, but he miscalculated. This makes his eldest brother where to put his face in the future, Meng Fan's brows darkened.
It's just that even if Meng Fan is in a hurry, it is already too late, because Ye Bowu is already standing in the middle of the hall door. glanced at Su Muchen coldly, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandpa Gongsun, Bowu has also prepared a poem today, wishing you a hundred years of old age." ”
"Oh? This was very pleasing to the old man, and I wanted to listen to it. After that, the old man didn't forget to smile at Ye Changli. For the boy of the night family, Gongsun Yi is also familiar, he is a good hand at killing the enemy, but he has always been not good at this poem, how did he change his personality today.
Ye Changli was also very puzzled, seeing that his son was not sitting next to him just now, he thought that he was trying to hide from the poetry couplet, how did this jump out, it was a little abnormal.
It's not just Ye Changli who is wondering, Ye Qiuhan and Gongsun Ningxuan are even more wondering, what kind of play is this younger brother doing, why did he suddenly change his personality, isn't he the most annoying poetry? Ye Qiuhan and Gongsun Ningxuan glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
"My poem is: The vicissitudes of life are not old, and the future generations of the blessing are forever healthy; The world is happy and the family is prosperous, and I only wish to put the longevity hall every year. Ye Bowu said with a smile, and looked at the old man expectantly.
"Good, good. Bowu's talent has also improved a lot. Gongsun Yi's eyes showed a thick smile, and he was very satisfied with Ye Bowu's performance.
There was another round of applause.
It is indeed rare to be able to produce two good poems in one day.
......
"Miss, you asked me to find the seat before Young Master Ye, I have already looked for it, and it happened to be at the same table with Young Master Liu. And... The two of them seemed to get along quite well. A little guy quietly came behind Gongsun Ningxuan and whispered. The little guy was the same guy who took Meng Fan to the seat before, so he was very impressed with Meng Fan.
"It seems that he is indeed helping Bowu." Gongsun Ningxuan said with a smile to Ye Qiuhan on the side.
"He? How can a scoundrel make such a good poem, although in terms of artistic conception, it is weaker than Su Muchen's poem, but it is also a rare masterpiece. Ye Qiuhan obviously didn't want to believe that a somewhat shameless guy could make such a poem. However, her brother's level, she knows very well, and she will never be able to make this poem.
"Don't worry, look closely, if I'm not mistaken, he'll make a move later." Gongsun Ningxuan said mysteriously.
"Oh? Why? Ye Qiuhan's dark eyes widened, staring at Gongsun Ningxuan and asked.
"You, when you see your brother, you care about it. Haven't you noticed that Bowu is still very confident on his face now? Gongsun Ningxuan shook her head and sighed. Those who are confused by the authorities are clear, and the bystanders are clear, this is the truth.
"What does that mean? Okay Ning Xuan, don't play dumb riddles, tell me quickly. Ye Qiuhan was already anxious, grabbed one of Gongsun Ningxuan's arms and asked anxiously.
"Have you ever thought about why Bowu is so confident, someone must have promised him to help him think of a poem that can defeat Su Muchen, or at least a poem that can be on par with Su Muchen, but at this time he lost slightly to Su Muchen, do you think that with his character, he is the kind of person who suffers?" Gongsun Ningxuan smiled and woke up the night and autumn cold.
Ye Qiuhan suddenly realized, yes, it can be seen from the previous lottery winnings that this person is by no means the master of losses, let alone doing things that are at a loss.
"It's just that he can really make another poem in an instant, and it will be a poem that overpowers Su Muchen?" Ye Qiuhan didn't believe it, even if his brother's previous poem was made by Liu Fan, but he wanted him to make another poem that overwhelmed Lin'an's first genius immediately? Is it really possible?
"I don't know, if it were someone else, I might still be able to guess a thing or two, but for this person, I can't even guess." Looking at the young man who was looking down and thinking about something, the look in Gongsun Ningxuan's eyes was a little complicated.
