Zhu Houwei walked slowly along the second floor and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around him. There are bamboo forests on three sides, but there are also differences between them. Zhu Houzhao and his wife took the small light bulb out of the Tingfeng Pavilion and went to the lake for a walk. Although the little girl doesn't like to be a light bulb for the husband and wife who mix oil in honey, she is even more reluctant to stay on the second floor with her second brother, and others are not at ease when she runs around alone, so Zhu Houwei and Zhang Liyuan, who likes to be quiet and don't like to move, are left on the second floor.

Zhu Houwei and Zhang Liyuan talked about the interesting story of Chaoyang Courtyard for a while, and the two stood on the side facing the lake again and quietly admired. It is estimated that in another hour, the banquet will begin.

Suddenly, a person slowly walked to a place three or five meters away from Zhu Houwei and looked at the lake and snow in the distance. His arrival attracted the attention of Zhu Houwei and Zhang Liyuan, and the man seemed to be aware of the two of them. So he generously turned to Zhu Houwei, bowed his hand, and said with a smile, "Disturb the two Yaxing, and hope to forgive the sin." This person is also wearing a white robe, with a square scarf wrapped around his head, and no other ornaments except for the delicate jade pendant in his waist. About in his early twenties, tall, should be 1.85 meters, but he looks like a southerner, with a face like a crown of jade, thick eyebrows and big eyes, gentle and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, a mouth that is not big or small, ruddy lips, slender temples, black and thick hair, a beautiful son, no folding fan and other things, a little less frivolous, a little more steady. The voice is gentle and magnetic, which makes people feel good.

Zhu Houwei smiled and shook his hand, "It's okay, the two of us are just too lazy to go out, and we can't talk about Yaxing or anything." The man smiled and arched his hand and said, "Little brother is also a hearty person. Under the surname Liu Mingxuan, the word is straight, a person from Hangzhou, dare to ask the two Taifu. Zhang Liyuan replied, "Under Zhang Liyuan, the word Qingyu, a person from the capital." Zhu Houwei said, "This is my brother, whose surname is Zhang Mingwei, and he has no words, a person from Beijing." Zhu Houwei saw that he was too handsome and never treated him very well, so it was natural to panic.

Zhang Liyuan asked, "I don't know if Brother Liu came to the capital for a scientific expedition?" Liu Xuan replied, "I'm ashamed to say it, it's very stupid to study in the next place, just a showman." This time I came to the capital to travel, and I came to visit my father and friends. ”

Zhang Liyuan said with a smile, "The capital is the best place, and there are many surrounding scenery. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, Brother Liu came all the way from Hangzhou, and the customs and customs along the way will definitely be of great benefit to Brother Liu's knowledge. I wish Brother Liu an early victory in the Toad Palace and become a pillar of the country. ”

Liu Xuan said with some embarrassment: "Brother Zhang's praise is false, and he is ashamed to be ashamed. However, the customs along the way are really eye-opening, and today it is also a surprise on the way to learning. A few days ago, I came to this Suzhuang to play, and I happened to hear that there would be a poetry meeting here, so I came uninvited, and I was really a little scared. ”

Zhu Houwei shook his hand: "This poetry will come as long as it is an article by a sage Xi, why should Brother Liu be humble." ”

Liu Xuan smiled, "The poetry meeting is about to start, Zhongzhi will go downstairs, listen to the senior brothers' opinions, and don't disturb the two." Leave. "Walk slowly." Zhu Houwei and Zhang Liyuan said at the same time.

Liu Xuan turned his back and walked up the stairs, a sneer on the corner of his mouth. On the second floor, Zhu Houwei asked, "This is the first time you have seen this person?" Zhang Liyuan nodded, "This person has a dignified appearance and elegant temperament, and if he lives in the capital for a long time, he must also have some reputation." However, now that his reputation is not obvious, he should have just come to the capital not long ago. Zhu Houwei nodded and didn't say anything.

The two chatted on the second floor for a while, and then went downstairs, and the banquet was about to begin. The first floor is almost 1,500 square meters, and Zhu Houwei still feels a little crowded when he goes downstairs. There is a raised platform in the center, about fifty square meters. There was nothing to cover around, and the talented and beautiful women who came to the banquet sat on the ground around the stage. In front of each row there is a row of low tables, and a low table seats two people. Zhu Houwei and Zhang Liyuan sat at a table.

Zhu Houwei looked at it, there were at least more than 300 men and women on the first floor, and this was the result of inviting the scholars and maids who brought them out to stay, otherwise there would be more people. Zhu Houwei and Zhang Liyuan didn't find Zhu Houzhao and them, so they couldn't lose it anyway, so they didn't look for it anymore.

On each table there are four treasures of the study, and in the middle of every two tables there is a small stove, where wine is being warmed. The bamboo curtain on the lake was not lowered, so I didn't feel depressed. The fire from the stove also brought heat to the first floor, which was not so cold.

Zhu Houwei thinks it's good to drink a little wine and read poetry. The host on the stage is the Tanhua of the autumn this time, the people in the capital, the official family, in terms of knowledge and family background, they are all very convincing. He is about thirty years old, and he is definitely a young leader, and as soon as he comes on stage, the beautiful women below will gather to release thousands of electric rays to him. This Tanhua's wife died of illness three years ago, and there has been no renewal. There is no concubine room in the family, and it is completely the fifth king of masonry.

After coming to the stage, Tanhualang bowed to the surroundings and said, "In the next wish, the word is from He, and I am ashamed to accept it as a toast for today's poetry meeting." If the words are inappropriate, I hope you Haihan. He stopped, and looked around again.

Zhu Houwei felt a little awkward, and suddenly remembered that at this pause, the people below should applaud. It's a pity that no one applauded, but returned the salute. Zhu Yan continued, "Today's poetry meeting is divided into poems and pairs. First of all, poems, first of all, propositional poems, in the poems there should be bamboo and lakes, and the time is two quarters of an hour (one hour) So, everyone, please. After speaking, he knocked on a small bell beside him, and when it sounded, the timer began.

At this time, the special maid at the venue sent warm hot wine, one by one, as well as preserved fruit snacks. Zhu Houwei saw that some people were meditating, and some began to write hard, but he was drinking wine, eating snacks, and looking at the scenery outside.

Poetry will sound good, but it's actually very boring. Nothing else is fine, you still have to kneel and sit at this Han and Tang style banquet. I don't know how the ancients held up before the chair became popular, anyway, Zhu Houwei couldn't stand it after sitting for half an hour. The passenger didn't pay attention, so he sat cross-legged instead, but no one noticed it. It's still good to have loose clothes.

The proposition poem was completed, and probably more than a hundred poems were collected. Not everyone does it, what Zhu Houwei didn't find was that there would be a poem on every table, as if it was discussed.

The poems that had just been baked were read aloud on the stage, and the people below also began to pay attention, and then wrote down the title and author of the poem that they thought were very good. Each poem is read aloud twice and is read quickly. Zhu Houwei just listened, and the vote was handed over to Zhang Liyuan, these literati seem to have very high quality poems, although compared with everyone like Li Du, it is also good.

After reading it on stage, Zhu Yan came to the stage to speak, this time it was not a proposition poem, but a casual thought, it could be just thought about, or it could be done before, anyway, it was not the same as the predecessors.

Zhu Houwei sat there like a pin, and he planned not to participate in any poetry meetings again, at least he didn't participate in sitting on the ground like this, fortunately, the wine and snacks were a little comfort, otherwise Zhu Houwei would definitely walk away.

Before reading the non-propositional poems on stage, the top three propositional poems came out. Everyone voted, and the three highest votes were quickly elected, and everyone had no objections. Maybe you think you write well and are better than others, but you won't be sad if you don't get the first place, so many people must still appreciate yourself.

The poems without propositions are also read in pairs, a total of twenty links, the most pairs, the fastest, the most neat will be ranked. After the pairs are over, it is time to announce the ranking of the untitled poems. The result of the pair is immediate and does not require voting.

It was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon when everything was completed, and Zhu Houwei breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally completed, it was too offended. When the host announced the end, there was a moth.

I only heard Zhu Yan say, "I counted it just now, and everyone here basically has works." However, there are also students who participate in the poetry club for the first time, and they may not know much about the situation. There is at least one work for two people at a table, and there is only one table on the scene. Saying that, Zhu Yan looked at Zhu Houwei and Zhang Liyuan, who were sitting not far from the east, and also looked at the two of them with the eyes of others. Zhang Liyuan stood up at this time and looked around. Zhu Houwei also got up and made a move, and then saw Liu Xuan behind him, a little surprised, he didn't say hello to him for so long just now, and felt a little strange, but after thinking about it, the situation is urgent now.

On the stage, Zhu Yan said with a smile again: "You don't need to worry, it's normal for you to come here for the first time and don't understand." But can you show us what you've learned? ”

Zhu Houwei asked in a low voice, "You are also here for the first time?" Zhang Liyuan said a little embarrassedly, "For the first time." "And you don't know these rules?" "Hehe" Looking at Zhang Liyuan's smile, Zhu Houwei felt that he had been cheated by an honest person. However, Zhang Liyuan made up for it, and said to Zhu Yan, "Then it's better to make a poem down, please correct it." ”

Zhu Yan smiled again and said, "Actually, there is a regulation of the Poetry Society, and when you encounter such a situation, you have to come from the young. Zhang Liyuan and Zhu Houwei looked embarrassed. Zhu Houwei used to read books and understand the meaning of the book, but the poems and the poems were not interested in Master Ziyang's brother Zhu Houzhao, so he didn't make much friends. Zhu Houwei asked him to make a limerick poem, but as for the pair being able to say the right words, as for whether they can be connected into sentences, it is not guaranteed.

Everyone was looking at this, Zhu Houwei was difficult to ride a tiger, but he quickly gritted his teeth and was ready to go out.
