Chapter Ninety-One: A Coincidence
After inscribed his name at the end of the answer, the gentleman handed the brush back to the maid, and then put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the table next to him with a smile on his face, as if with a confident expression.
"Am I meeting the right person? That's too white, isn't it? Ye Tianheng stared at the rice paper and whispered: "And this is six words to five words, it's not appropriate!" ”
Li Yingcheng took over the conversation: "White is a little white, and the number of words is really not right, but don't say it, these two sentences are connected and thought, it really has a unique charm, and there is a kind of finishing touch that makes people suddenly feel enlightened, and it hits people's hearts!" Looking at the poems that are stacked with rhetoric, it seems that there is really nothing that can beat this sentence. ”
"yes...... It is indeed far better to pile up rhetoric than to return to the basics, and such sentences are more beautiful. Ye Tianling sighed softly, obviously he also liked this sentence very much.
The three of them unconsciously moved their eyes to the scholar who was drinking wine not far away, Li Yingcheng shook his head and smiled: "After a while, the maid will take these rice paper to the geisha who asked the question, and she will choose the favorite answer, and now it seems that most of the top prize tonight is this scholar, but I don't know which geisha is the one who came up with this question." ”
"It's none of this with us, let's go! Eat, I'm hungry. Ye Tianheng rubbed his stomach and said.
"I haven't stuffed you enough after eating so many snacks just now!" Ye Tianling glanced at him and said angrily.
"Hey...... That's how much you ate! It's simply not enough. Ye Qianheng smiled dryly, while finding an empty desk, the four of them walked over and sat in pairs, and a maid came to entertain them.
The ordering of food was handled by the three of them, Lin Xifeng was silent, he thought in his heart, is there anything wrong with this matter? He still didn't want to believe that someone could answer this sentence word for word, this coincidence was too incredible.
Just when Lin Xifeng was pondering, a maid-like woman walked down from the building on the south side, walked straight to the rice paper with the question written, looked at the rice paper with the answer written for a while, and suddenly a trace of surprise flashed on her face, and then she talked to the maid who was guarding the side, under the guidance of the maid, she set her eyes on the scholar who had written the answer before, and then returned the same way, walking quickly upstairs.
Lin Xifeng's eyes just caught a glimpse of this maid, his brows furrowed slightly for a while, and finally remembered her identity, she was the maid who was with the woman by the West Lake that day, looking at the appearance of this woman trotting quickly upstairs from the rice paper, Lin Xifeng understood that she should report the answer to the woman.
Lin Xifeng looked up at the building on the south side opposite, then retracted his gaze, looked at the scholar sitting on the desk in front of him, was silent for a while, and then raised his hand to beckon a maid and asked her for a piece of rice paper and a brush.
"Brother Lin, what do you want pen and paper for? It's hard to want to answer the question, but if you want to answer the question, just go there and write it on rice paper! What's the use of writing here. Seeing Lin Xifeng's actions, Ye Tianheng couldn't help but pout and educate.
After Lin Xifeng wrote a line of words on the paper, he folded the rice paper, returned the brush to the maid, and then looked at Ye Tianheng and said with a smile: "What do you kid care about me, let's listen to the piano carefully!" ”
When Ye Tianheng heard this, he pursed his lips and stopped talking.
At this time, there is a geisha kneeling on the wooden platform, stroking the piano with her hands, and the song she plays is "Mountains and Flowing Water", this song is divided into two songs, not divided into sections, it is rumored to be composed for Boya in the Warring States Period, this guqin song is also widely spread among the people together with the story of Boya Drum and Qin meeting bosom friend.
It's just that although this music is melodious and beautiful, Lin Xifeng didn't have the heart to appreciate it, his eyes kept on the building opposite, and after a while, he saw the maid running through the corridor on the second floor, and then entered a side room.
"Miss, Miss, someone has written that answer." After the maid entered the house and closed the door, she rushed to the woman sitting in front of the bronze mirror and cried out in surprise.
Hearing this, Master Li hurriedly took away the red paper in Sakura's lips, and a bright smile suddenly bloomed on Allure's face: "Is he really here?" ”
"This ...... This ......" Xiao Yue suddenly hesitated.
Seeing this, Master Li couldn't help frowning slightly: "What's wrong?" ”
"Sister Fang Caiqiao pointed out to the slave maid the scholar who wrote the answer, his name is Zhou Tianchen, looking at his appearance, he is not the son by the West Lake that day......"
"Not him?" Master Li was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly sat up from the chair, picked up the white veil and wrapped it in her pretty face: "You hurry up and point me out this person, and I'll see who he is." ”
As she spoke, she walked quickly to the door, opened the door and walked out, standing by the railing and looking at the full number of literati in the courtyard downstairs, the maid hurriedly followed, her eyes searched the crowd, and then pointed to Zhou Tianchen: "Miss, it is the boy in the green shirt in the seventh column of the second row." ”
Master Li followed the maid's guidance, and only after a while, he found Zhou Tianchen, whose face was red reflected by the lantern, and the latter happened to be sitting facing him, and after looking carefully for a while, Master Li's eyebrows tightened unconsciously: "It's really not the son of that day, how can this be?" ”
Lin Xifeng's attention had been on the opposite pavilion, and at this time, he naturally noticed the second daughter on the opposite pavilion, raised his head slightly, locked his eyes directly on Master Li, and chuckled.
After Master Li noticed the unscrupulous gaze behind Zhou Tianchen, he looked down suspiciously, and then met Lin Xifeng's gaze, time stood still for a moment, and Master Li's expression also stopped for a moment, and then suddenly covered Tan Kou and screamed in disbelief: "It's him!" ”
The maid naturally saw Lin Xifeng, and was also surprised, and stammered a little: "It seems to be ...... It seems like he'......"
Seeing this, Lin Xifeng smiled and raised the rice paper in his hand, after Master Li saw his actions, he was slightly puzzled, and after a while, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyue, he may want to show me that rice paper, you go and get it for me." ”
"Yes, miss." The maid did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted down the corridor.
The courtyard is still melodious, and no one seems to pay too much attention to Master Li upstairs, after all, there are often women looking down next to the wooden railing, which is not a strange thing, and most of the people who often come here also know that the second floor of the building on the south side is occupied by women who have not yet received guests, even if they want to go to a kiss Fang Ze, Qing. The building is also not allowed, so I can only hope in my heart that they will also go out to welcome guests early.
The maid walked quickly to Lin Xifeng, who did not procrastinate, handed over the folded rice paper to her, and the maid immediately turned around and turned back the way she came.
