In the evening, Kong Rong and Liu Xuan jointly left the inn and went straight to Situ Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The carriage of the two stopped at the gate of Situ Mansion, and the attendant who greeted the guests immediately walked up and hurriedly welcomed Kong Rong and Liu Xuan into the mansion.

The people who arrived included Ma Riyan, Yang Biao, Shi Sunrui and others.

Wang Yun, as the master, was already in the hall. Seeing that Kong Rong and Liu Xuan had arrived, he smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Kong Xiang, Shizi, please take a seat." ”

"Xie Situ!"

The two thanked each other and took their seats in the hall.

"Step! Trample! ”

A moment later, a sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Liu Xuan looked up, with a look of surprise in his eyes. The person who came this time was Cai Yong, but the person who followed Cai Yong was Hedong Weining, whom Liu Xuan didn't want to see the most. This kid is dressed in a noble style today, with his chin slightly raised, looking quite proud.

Wei Ning also saw Liu Xuan, paused for a moment, and regained his composure.

Cai Yong took Wei Ning into the hall and sat down after seeing the salute.

After a while, the rest of the people arrived.

Wang Yun looked at the people present, and with a wave of his hand, he saw the attendants outside the hall rushing in, placing all the prepared wine and meat on everyone's desk.

Wang Yun had a smile on his face, took the wine glass, and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo's dismissal of Li Dao and the removal of Jiao Ren are not big, but it is always a happy event. Especially when Kong Xiang and Shizi first arrived in Chang'an, they were also very happy. Ladies and gentlemen, we respect Confucius and the son. ”

"Thank you Situ, thank you duke."

Kong Rong returned the salute with a wine glass and nodded to everyone.

Liu Xuan was the same, and drank all the wine in the cup.

After the opening, the atmosphere became relaxed.

In particular, everyone saw Liu Xuan's clever words and eloquence in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they had a good impression of Liu Xuan, and they toasted Kong Rong and Liu Xuan one after another.

Only Wei Ning was depressed.

Liu Xuan, a wicked man, has been favored by so many people, which is really hateful.

As soon as he thought that in the Taoist temple, he was forced to kneel down to Ganmei and kowtow to apologize, and was also broken by Xiahoudun, the anger in his heart was difficult to suppress, and there was always a frustrated air hovering in his heart, lingering.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the atmosphere is more warm.

But the higher the atmosphere, the more depressed Wei Ning became.

The mood is not good.

Because the officials of the imperial court praised Liu Xuan one after another and ignored him. was left out in the cold, and Wei Ning's heart was even more nameless angry.

Wei Ning looked at Liu Xuan with a smile on his face, and couldn't suppress it after all.

He smiled, got up with a wine glass, and said, "Wang Situ, tonight for Kong Xiang and Liu Shizi to pick up the wind and wash the dust." Coincidentally, it was the prince who defeated Li Dao and defeated Dong Zhuo. On such a joyous day, we should sing poems to celebrate today's joy. ”

Wang Yundao: "Wei Gongzi is a beloved disciple of Bo Jiao, and he is outstanding in learning, do you plan to write poetry?" ”

Wei Ning smiled, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Wang Situ praised it, I have this plan in the future." But it is too monotonous for a person to recite poetry. It's better to invite the prince to come, and it will be more lively. ”

Wang Yun smiled and said, "What does the prince think?" ”

Liu Xuan said: "Situ set up a banquet, one is to catch the wind and wash the dust, is the second to chant poetry? ”

The words changed abruptly, faintly questioned, with a hint of edge.

Wei Ning was still not in a hurry or impatient, and said lightly: "Tonight, I will wash the dust for Kong Xiang and the prince, and recite poems, which is also to make the princes happy and add color to the banquet." There seems to be some reluctance in the son's words, if the son of the world is unwilling, just say it, don't force it. After all, poetry is not something that can be done casually. ”

After a few words, he even cut and beaten, but he wanted to beat Liu Xuan back.

Everyone looked at it, but they didn't speak, but there was a faint look of expectation. In the eyes of these old foxes, they didn't think there was anything inappropriate about Wei Ning's actions? It's normal for young people to compete and win. Liu Xuan became famous in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Ning was unconvinced, and he had the intention to fight, which was also fun among young people.

Liu Xuan shook his head and said: "Although it is an elegant thing to recite poetry, in my opinion, it is a waste of time and a waste of words. ”

Wei Ning smiled and said, "Shizi, I'm afraid I don't understand what I said." ”

Liu Xuan said: "Whether you understand or not, someone decides." ”

"Rub!"

Kong Rong suddenly stood up and said, "Princes, he is quite outstanding in terms of the poetry of the prince. In the past, when he was in Beihai, the prince once wrote poems with plum, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, and the three poems were natural and lofty. I know a little bit about it below, and I will read it to you. ”

Wei Ning frowned, but he didn't expect Kong Rong to intervene.

Liu Xuan said: "Kong Xiang, it doesn't have to be like this. ”

Having said that, Kong Rong's calf protector moved Liu Xuan's heart for a while.

Wang Yun was already interested, and said: "How can you hide good verses, Kong Xiang, please say." ”

Cai Yong also likes literature, and said: "Kong Xiang said quickly. ”

The rest of the people joined in.

Kong Rong smiled and said: "The first song "Plum Blossom", all the princes listen. ”

"There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens them alone."

"I know that it's not snow, it's because there's a dark fragrance."

This plum blossom poem is far-reaching, savoring it, and it is even more comfortable. In the word, it is simple and natural, without half a point of deliberate carving and showmanship. With poetry and words, it also reveals the noble heart of the son. In the following opinion, this is a rare good poem. ”

Kong Rong's words caused everyone to burst into discussions.

This verse is indeed extraordinary.

After reading them one by one, he looked at Liu Xuan's eyes with even more admiration. They are world-famous Confucians, and they will not think that Kong Rong will help Liu Xuan cheat. Because once exposed, it will have a great impact on Liu Xuan and Kong Rong, and they will have a stigma for the rest of their lives.

Liu Xuan saw it in his eyes, laughed in his heart, and said secretly: "The Prime Minister is powerful!" ”

Wei Ning smashed his teeth and swallowed them in his stomach, and asked, "Kong Xiang, what about the other verses?" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked expectant.

Kong Rong flicked his sleeves and said: "The poem about bamboo is called "Bamboo Stone". ”

"Insist that Qingshan will not relax, and the roots are in the broken rock."

"Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind is blowing from east to west, north and south."

The idea of "Bamboo and Stone" is even more exquisite, borrowing bamboo words and aspirations, and the iron bones are fully revealed. This poem by the son of the world can be called wonderful. Although it is different from the current style, it is wonderful. ”

Kong Rong commented, and everyone bowed slightly.

Anyone here is a master of the literary world and can distinguish between good and bad.

Wei Ning frowned, very uncomfortable.

Wang Yun was aroused and couldn't wait, and asked, "What about the third chrysanthemum?" ”

Kong Rong said: "The third poem about chrysanthemums is called "Chrysanthemum". ”

"The sassy west wind is planted all over the yard, and it is difficult for the cold fragrance and cold butterflies to come."

"If I am the Green Emperor in his year, I will bloom with the peach blossoms."

Kong Rong looked emotional, and said: "Writing chrysanthemums, it is quite extraordinary to be able to write so heroically and magnificently." It is precisely because of Xuan Gongzi's outstanding poetry that I have done this more. In fact, on King Kang's birthday, the son of the world also wrote poems. At that time, the heavy rain was pouring, and the prince used the heavy rain to celebrate his birthday, which was exquisite. ”

At this moment, Kong Rong kept praising Liu Xuan, just to make a name for Liu Xuan.

Wang Yun asked, "How is the birthday poem written?" ”

The rest of the people stared at Kong Rong one after another.

Kong Rong smiled slightly and said: "The prince wrote it like this, but what can I do, but what can I do, but it is raining today." The torrential rain wishes King Kang a birthday, and the longevity is more than the torrential rain! ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

After hearing this, Cai Yong took the lead in praising it.

Wang Yun also stroked his palms and laughed, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and said, "Okay, a good life is more than the torrential rain." It's heartbreaking. ”

At this moment, Liu Xuan, in the eyes of everyone, is already a model of talent.

Wei Ning was left to dry, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
