Chapter Ninety-One: The Noise and the Crane Tower

What should come, will come. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The elegance of Heming Tower tonight is embellished on the elegance of the literati and nobles, and the people gathered here are all to see Ye Guozhu's brilliance, and even alarmed several Suzhou talents, who want to come to Hangzhou City to see it. Prominent figures with heads and faces gathered here, but only Li Lanting and Zhang Xun were missing, both of whom coincidentally excused themselves from the party on the grounds that they were ill, and the initiator was another great Confucian scholar with status and face in Hangzhou.

Both of them were people who had seen Ye Guozhu for the last time in Hangzhou City, and they knew that this banquet was not as simple as the phenomenon, so they directly closed the door and did not come to participate.

Su Zizhan and Xie Xuanzhen sat together, he raised his head and looked around a few times, as if he wanted to find a familiar figure among the guests at the banquet, but unfortunately Chen Zhongqing, who had originally agreed to attend the banquet, failed to arrive as promised at this time. On the contrary, it was the new talents in Suzhou who came to the door to stir up trouble that attracted special attention in the banquet. They all wanted to kill the prestige of Hangzhou's great talent in front of Ye Guozhu.

The candles flickered, and the figures were stacked. The others in the room drank and talked happily.

Only a few lonely figures sat in their seats, watching the banquet come and go.

"Xing Mingyang, Qiu Zishan, Zanxian Guan, almost all the people who can get their hands on Suzhou are here, is this to make trouble in Heming Tower?"

Su Zizhan raised his head and glanced at the few great talents who were drinking and talking, then lowered his head again, and said to Xie Xuanzhen beside him, "Are you sure Chen Zhongqing will really come?" ”

"Yes."

With a wave of the paper fan, Xie Xuanzhen smiled and said, "I have investigated, and there is indeed some relationship between Ye Guozhu and Chen Zhongqing, and these rumors are not groundless. Second, this word review meeting may be an opportunity for Ye Guozhu to arrange for Chen Zhongqing to appear in Hangzhou, and even Liangzhejiang Road, after all, it is not only us who are sitting here, but also other people who come here. ”

Xie Xuanzhen pointed the paper fan at the other two tables, and following the direction of the fan, Su Zizhan found other interesting characters. Not only the Li family Haoqiang in Huzhou, but also the Su family in Huzhou, and the powerful families of all sizes are concentrated here to see Ye Guozhu.

"Some people who came to send Ye Guozhu are sycophants, some people who came to smash the field on the spot and want to fight for performance in front of Guozhu, and some people I can't understand."

Su Zizhan's gaze fell on an inconspicuous table in the corner, their burly figures were taller than the weak scholars in Hangzhou City, and the elegant dress of the scribes could not hide the killing intent tempered by some kind of frontier warrior on their bodies, he only regarded them as the guards responsible for protecting Ye Guozhu, so he didn't care much.

Zanxian Guan picked up a pot of wine and walked towards Xie Xuanzhen with steady steps, he avoided the other people who tried to come forward to toast, moved a chair and sat down in front of Xie Xuanzhen, and the wine jug in his left hand filled the previous champion in front of him. He glanced at Su Zizhan next to him, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smug arc, "It's strange, why is there only Gongzi Xie, Brother Hong?" Did you know that the talented man in Hangzhou was going to the bureau, so he specially excused himself and couldn't come? ”

Xie Xuanzhen has excellent self-cultivation, and he didn't care about the other party's cynicism at all, "Brother Hong is sick and can't come to this party, so I thank Gongzi Zan for his concern." ”

Zanxian Guan waved his hand and said with a slight smile, "Eh, where, I heard that Gongzi Xie lost to a little-known little character in the Dragon Boat Festival, what is his name?" Chen Zhongqing, right? I didn't come here this time to ask Gongzi Xie for advice, a few of us came from Hangzhou, all of us wanted to compete with this Zhongqing Gongzi. Let's see if the readers in Hangzhou are better, or if our Suzhou ones are better. ”

"Huh."

Xie Xuanzhen was disdainful in his heart, but he was still polite on the surface.

Zanxian Guan and a few others made sufficient preparations for more than ten days, and took out a few of their most proud words to appear at the banquet, they just came to do something, win Ye Guozhu's closed disciples in front of everyone, and be majestic in front of everyone, why not?

Besides, this is Liangzhejiang Road, the territory of the wealthy family, and the hand of Bianliang, who is far away from the emperor of the sky, can't reach here, and Zanxian Guan dares to have fearless provocations, which is also because of this.

"I know that Gongzi Xie lost to Chen Zhongqing, but this time, we will definitely not lose. What a great talent in Hangzhou, I think it's a liar who deceives the world and steals his name, hahahaha. Nuoda can't find a literati in Hangzhou City who supports the faΓ§ade, and we in Suzhou feel ashamed for you. ”

Zanxian Guan stood up with a smile, walked towards the original seat, and put Xie Xuanzhen and Su Zizhan aside, Su Zizhan, who originally wanted to teach a few words, was pressed down by Xie Xuanzhen and shook his head.

In the past, it was the scholars in Hangzhou who competed with each other, but now it is outsiders who provoke trouble, and they naturally stand aside in unison.

"There's no need."

Xie Xuanzhen suppressed his anger and said to Su Zizhan, "When he meets Zhong Qing, he will naturally know." ”

It was not only the literati and writers of Hangzhou City who were invited, but also the little Yanhou Nangong Hua who came dressed elegantly, and she got the invitation letter through some means, just to come to see Chen Zhongqing.

The impression of the heroic scholar who took a knife upstairs that day has been deeply engraved in her mind. Xiaoyanhou was like a flower that attracted bees and butterflies, attracting the attention of several Suzhou scholars present, among whom Xing Mingyang stepped forward and flattered the woman who almost won the title of Oiran in one step.

"In Xia Xing Mingyang, it is an honor to meet Xiaoyan today."

On the surface, he was congratulating respectfully, but his eyes were not honest on her, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, wanting to have a relationship with her.

Xiao Yanhou didn't have the slightest interest in this young man who volunteered, and just replied a few times casually.

Xing Mingyang couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw that the other party was not disgusted with him, so he dared to continue, "Can you have the honor to invite Miss Nangong to the seat?" ”

Nangong Hua looked left and right, trying to find a familiar figure from the crowd, but she didn't see the background of the Yushu Linfeng scholar.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, Xing Mingyang's smile was still on his face, and the gesture of please was still deadlocked, not retracted. With a slight cough, the Hangzhou genius smiled and asked again.

"Nangong girl? I don't know if I can tell you about it. ”

Nangong Hua brushed the green silk in front of her forehead behind her ear, revealing a faint smile, like a hibiscus out of the water, a peerless figure of elegance engraved on the lady's picture.

Xing Mingyang's heart was pounding, thinking that the other party also had a good impression of him, and just as he was about to rack his heart to say the next sentence, he heard an unacceptable answer.

The beautiful woman took her skirt and replied bluntly, "No, I didn't invite you today." ”
