Chapter 16: Xu Jingzong

A gust of river wind pushed the banquet to another gaochao, and this gaochao did not make a noise, but made the whole garden quiet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw a huge painting boat slowly sailing in the Qujiang River not far from Qujiang Pond, and it appeared ghostly on the dark canvas-like river. On the deck of the boat, eight large red lanterns hung around the ship. Under the lanterns, a few well-dressed little men walked up and down the aisle on the boat, and the boatman and whistle struggled to push the oars in their hands. Under the waves, and in a burst of singing, the painting boat came from a distance.
"The fairy of Qionglou sings high, and the song is in the late autumn moon palace pavilion" The song is accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano, which was uploaded by the river wind from the painting boat to the apricot garden.
Many people came to the Qujiang River and looked at the painting boat stupidly.
Someone who knew the inside story began to speak: "This is the beginning of everyone's competition, I don't know who is coming?" ”
"What a beautiful painting boat, such a beautiful singing voice." The eyes of some young ladies from rich and noble families flashed with envy and longing.
Some literati clenched their fists, and really wanted to fly to the painting boat in the wind and waves, and rub the girl who sang the song in their arms for a burst of love.
Only Guo Shan was a little puzzled, he thought the voice was very good, but this lyrics, Guo Shan felt that it was not esoteric, but it was difficult to resonate with him.
Tang Juan pinched Guo Shan's wrist, his eyes shone brightly, and said, "Brother, is Sister Su Su here?" ”
Guo Shan shook his head and said, "No, rent such a big painting boat and find so many followers, I don't think this pomp can be done for dozens of taels of silver each, right?" Could it be that Miss Susu has invested a lot of money in order to win the championship? ”
Guo Shan, who has been in the future for a long time, is well versed in the way of hype, and in the eyes of others, the beautiful painting boat and beautiful singing voice and the fairy atmosphere created by the painting boat and singing are full of copper smell and utilitarianism in Guo Shan's eyes. Suddenly, just as the painting boat was about to dock, a rather luxurious painting boat also appeared on the river.
It turned out that this other painting boat had been waiting on the river for a long time, just because the night was dark and the wind was high, so no one had found that such a 'big insect' was hidden on the river at night.
Oh, it's another luxurious painting boat.
The painting boat that had been singing before stopped in front of the painting boat that was blocking the road, and out of the painting boat that stood in the way came a handsome young man. Dressed in white silk clothes, the chest is embroidered with mountains and rivers. At a glance, you can see that this young man's background is extraordinary.
There were one or two young men beside him, all with gold-sheathed swords at their waists, and long boots with black curls.
When Guo Shan saw it, he knew that this was a group of rich sons.
"Beautiful scenery, boating on the river. I didn't think that it was a blessing for me to meet Miss Yu, I don't know if Miss Yu appreciates her face, and is willing to let me get on the boat to drink and talk? "The boys on the painting boat that blocked the way spoke first.
This sentence is big, and it was blown to Qujiang Pond by the river wind. provoked a dry of scholars to beat their chests, hating to be taken by these rich gentlemen.
The old man looked at those sons enviously, and felt that this was the sharpness that the sons should have. Look at your own young owner again, hey, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.
Guo Shan pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "It turned out that it was a bunch of well-fed people who had nothing to do." ”
In Guo Shan's view, it means that there is nothing to do when you are full.
So rich, rented such a luxurious boat just to block the way, and then boarded someone else's girl's boat? These pickled girls are really willing to spend money.
"It turned out that it was Miss Yu who came, I don't know when Sister Su Su will come." Tang Juan was a little anxious, after all, she didn't come to see the excitement, she came to help Wang Susu.
The same is true for Guo Shan.
In the end, he has been a neighbor with Wang Susu for a long time, so he naturally goes to Wang Susu. This selfishness is not selfishness, it can only be regarded as a friendship to the point that it is not kind to it.
patting his sister on the shoulder, Guo Shan said: "Don't worry, Miss Susu will definitely come on a bigger painting boat, and she will definitely be more eye-catching when the time comes." ”
Wang Susu came, not by painting boat, but by a small boat.
Compared with Miss Yu's boat, Wang Susu's boat is really not gorgeous. Not so eye-catching.
However, it does not hide her elegance at all, and it is enough to attract attention because of herself.
Very plain dressed in white, the cloak that dragged the ground was slightly agitated in the wind. Sister Ning stood on her left side, followed by only two little maids holding the qin.
At night, on the river, the wind came slowly.
Guo Shandu looked a little stupid, and finally couldn't help but praise it secretly.
I have to say that Wang Susu's appearance is not much different from before, but I have to say that in this situation, she has brought Guo Shan a great impact.
"This dress is worth a plus." Guo Shan couldn't help but praise. In his opinion, if Wang Susu also appeared on a luxurious painting boat, it would certainly be popular, but it would inevitably be suspected of following the trend of Yu Girl. In that way, no matter how gorgeous it is, it will eventually fall to the bottom.
And now her appearance like this is not gorgeous, but it is enough to attract attention.
There are still many scholars and scholars who know Wang Susu, and they have begun to talk about each other.
Guo Shan was also talking about it, while Xiao Juan stood on the railing and waved at Wang Susu and Sister Ning over there. It's a pity that there are too many people and it's too noisy, where did Wang Susu and the others see Guo Shan's side.
Guo Shan also saw Miss Yu who was going to fight with Wang Susu, who was also a beautiful woman. The age is about 20, which is the moment of maturity and beauty. Dressed in a black wool coat and wearing a black veil, he gives people a seductive look out of thin air.
Behind him, there were some powerful sons who led horses, laughing and laughing with the gentlemen.
There are also those who talk to Wang Susu, and they are also powerful sons.
In the end, as soon as Wang Susu and Miss Yu met, the magnates on both sides seemed to have the meaning of colliding with sparks. Fortunately, Jin Wuwei, who manages public security, ran out, otherwise the two gangs of sons really don't know if they will draw their swords against each other.
"Brother, let's go over and find Sister Su Su?" Tang Juan tugged at Guo Shan's sleeve and wanted to run over to talk to Wang Susu.
Guo Shan shook his head and said, "It's useless for us to go now, haven't you seen that your Sister Su Su is also tired of socializing with those scholars?" ”
Tang Juan took a look, and sure enough. Wang Susu was surrounded by people and could barely pull away, and at this moment, she ran over and was afraid that she would not have time to take care of herself.
Guo Shan sat comfortably on the railing of the gazebo, slowly drinking wine to warm his stomach. Squinted, looked carefully at the brightly lit place, and then asked, "Steward Hu, is the competition about to start?" What does the process look like? ”
The old man suddenly heard the young owner call himself, and was stunned for a moment, and then after understanding Guo Shan's question, he immediately said what he had inquired about earlier: "In fact, the so-called competition will have such a competition in Qingming Furong Garden every year, but it is not a dispute between everyone. ”
"I know that." Tang Juan held his brother's hand and said, "Sister Su Su told me, in fact, the competition does not mean that she is the only one who compares with Miss Yu. It's that the talents in the apricot orchard can all participate, and the reason why everyone competes is just because Miss Su Su and Miss Yu have the confidence to win the championship. ”
"Oh?" Guo Shan raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he meant.
"Every year on the first day of the Qingming Festival, when the Furong Garden opens, because there are many dignitaries and literati playing in the Furong Garden, some scholars decide to hold a poetry meeting. One is to be famous, and the other is to make friends. Later, the poetry club became a kind of competition. The comparison is four kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and once you are famous in the competition, you can become famous. Therefore, the competition has continued from the Wude period to the present, and it has developed into a habit. The old man replied.
Guo Shan nodded, and finally figured out that there was such a custom.
Immediately, he was puzzled again: "But if that's the case, I'm afraid that there are all the Manchang'an people who participated in the competition, right?" How can Miss Susu have the confidence to win the championship? ”
He felt that there were too many learned people in the world, and he couldn't distinguish between the superior and the inferior at all. Where did this Miss Yu and Miss Su get the confidence to win the championship?
Tang Juan smiled and said, "Because Sister Su Su and they have already prepared the song of this competition in Furong Garden, they want to make up their own music." Poetry, I want to write poems by myself. I want to draw a painting that I want to make by myself. The three things have to be thought about by others who have not seen or seen the others, but this song is the most difficult. Who can make a song in an instant? What good song doesn't take a year and a half to study? But who in the world will take the time to study this? ”
Guo Shan understood that he was unprepared for a long time.
"It's hard, it's hard. Miss Su Su has made preparations this year, how do you know that Miss Yu is not prepared? Guo Shan said again: "It's difficult, it's difficult." ”
He naturally hopes that Wang Susu can win, after all, he will still be interested in the people he is familiar with.
The fight unfolded under the leadership of a man in a robe.
To everyone's surprise, this year's Qingming Festival competition was presided over by the celebrity Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong, who is it?
Tang Qian had followed Li Mi, and was recruited by Li Shimin, who was the king of Qin at that time, because of his fame. Among the famous group of scholars of the Qin Mansion in history, this one accounted for one. Guo Shan remembers correctly, the sentence he often sings when he reads, 'Fluttering Luo socks are in light of the sky, scorching the new makeup and appreciating the moonlight.' That's what this guy did.
I didn't expect to kill Guo Shan that I would be able to see this product on a trip to Furong Garden. This product is notoriously lustful.
