Chapter 90. Poetry Conference
readx;
It is said that the woman in white asked Lao Yuhua what she thought of Liu Wenyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Lao Hua was reluctant to take his eyes off the other party, but he was afraid of blaspheming the beauty and abrupt the fairy, so he coughed twice and said: "If the girl really wants to know, I always know something about him, if you want to hear it, I will come out ......"
"You don't have to say so much, I just want to know if he's as amazing as you sing?" The beautiful woman in white asked.
"This ...... Of course not. What immortals guide the way, what slaying demons and eliminating demons are all fake, and I always call Hua just begging for food, singing and singing casually to fool the two money. Lao Zhaohua had to say truthfully.
The white-clothed beauty raised her eyebrows, and said coquettishly: "That is, you people, hearsay, adding oil and vinegar, but you have turned a small god stick who is not in the stream into a big hero, the crow becomes a phoenix, and the bed bug becomes a dragon, which is also a rumor made by you......"
Seeing that he was reprimanded by the beauty in white, he didn't know where he got the courage, and suddenly said: "The girl is right, I made some nonsense, but the little willow god is not as unbearable as you said, as far as I know, he is very effective in calculating hexagrams, and he is also very strong in observing feng shui and seeing yin and yang, and he is even more kind-hearted, and the people praise him." It's a pity that this Mr. Koyanagi had bad luck before, and encountered a lot of bad things, first he was fired off Xiucai, and then he was kicked by his fiancΓ©e, he wanted to die but didn't die, and he was embarrassed enough. The beauty in white didn't expect Lao Zhaohua to say good things for that Liu Wenyang, and frowned: "Is he really as good as you say?" β
Lao Zhaohua regained his cheekiness and said, "I don't know if it's okay or not, I just know that if I meet his fiancΓ©e." I'm going to ask three questions......"
The beautiful woman in white: "What do you want to ask?" β
Lao Hua: "First, I want to ask her why she is so poor and loves the rich and no longer marries, second, why she is blind without beads, and third, she doesn't regret this after that, but the originally good Langjun can't become a family!" β
The old screamer scolded very coolly, but he didn't notice that the face of the beauty in white became more and more ugly.
The pretty girl next to her didn't wait for Lao Yuhua to finish speaking. angrily reprimanded: "Well, you sloppy old flower, no matter if you have something to do, you go to beg for money and food, but there are too many things to worry about." β
I was scolded for being cold, and I was stunned like a clay man, and I really didn't understand where I offended this little aunt and grandmother.
The beautiful woman in white was furious when she saw the pretty girl. He said, "Okay Pomegranate, send some money to let him leave, I'm a little tired." β
As soon as the pretty maid heard the young lady speak, she glared at the old beggar viciously, and then she found out a penny and didn't count how much it was. Throw it directly to the old beggar. Lao Zhaohua originally thought that he would not get the reward, but he never thought that the other party was so generous, so he hurriedly took the money and thanked him in a panic.
seems to be afraid that the other party will regret it, and then ask for so much reward money back, after Lao Hua put the money in his pocket. After saying thank you, leave immediately.
The pavilion was quiet again.
The beautiful woman in white plucked the strings with her onion fingers, but found that her heart was very confused, and she no longer had the heart to play.
"Pomegranate. Do you think I'm paying for sin? I was in a good mood, but I found someone to scold me for no reason? The beautiful woman in white asked with a slight frown.
With a "poof", the pretty girl Pomegranate fell to her knees at once, and said with a frightened expression: "I'm sorry Miss, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have called this old beggar here." He shouldn't be allowed to talk nonsense! β
Seeing that the maid pomegranate was so frightened that her face was pale, Su Muxue, a beautiful woman in white, couldn't help but smile slightly --- and said, "Okay." I don't blame you, you don't have to look like this. ββ¦
Then there was a hint of haughty coldness on her glamorous face. "Even if Liu Wenyang really became famous? Not yet a fortune teller! According to his current appearance, he will never think of gaining fame for the rest of his life! My life will be controlled by myself! In the future, my husband, even if he is not a champion of Jinshi, must be from a prominent family, how can he be a lowly family like them?! β
The maid pomegranate knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, what you said is that with your beauty, you will definitely be able to find a talented and illustrious gentleman, and the master will no longer accuse you, let alone lock you in this back garden." β
Su Muxue sighed, "He didn't do this for people to see, so that people could understand that his family education was strict...... Although it is confined, where is it that suffers me? On the contrary, I heard that my father was looking for new family affairs for me, like the Ma Gongzi just now, who was deliberately put in by my father, but I thought I didn't know ......."
Seeing that the young lady said this, the maid pomegranate said boldly: "The slave maid heard that Ma Dongsheng, the son of the horse, is also a famous talent in Poyang County, not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also good at writing articles. And his father is the lord of the county, not only has a wide range of contacts, but also has a huge influence, and even the new county lord doesn't buy it; Such a family background is also one out of a hundred......"
Seeing that the little maid pomegranate said it quickly, Su Muxue couldn't help but say, "It seems that you think that Ma Dongsheng is not bad, right?" β
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave just thinks that compared to that Liu Wenyang, this Ma Dongsheng is also outstanding, I don't know how many times better!"
When Su Muxue saw Pomegranate say this, she nodded and said, "You're right...... Although Ma Dongsheng's demeanor is a little frivolous, in comparison, even ten Liu Wenyang is better than one Ma Dongsheng! After saying this, Su Muxue's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of contempt, her choice was absolutely right, then Liu Wenyang would never be able to turn over, forever!
β¦β¦
"Ahh In the Guanxiang Pavilion, Liu Wenyang, who had just walked around with the little boy Mingyue all day, rubbed his nose vigorously, he thought that someone was saying bad things about him behind his back?
Just when Liu Wenyang was rubbing his nose, the maid Chunmei and Qiu Ju came with food.
Seeing Liu Wenyang, Chunmei, who liked to talk, said: "Young Master Liu, you are blessed tonight, seeing that it is almost the Shangyuan Festival, our chef of Chunfeng Building specially made a few delicious side dishes." We've brought it up for you to taste! β
Hearing that the food was exquisite, Liu Wenyang, who had already had some belly drums, couldn't help laughing: "I thought you forgot to deliver the food because of something, but you came in time, otherwise I would have eaten outside with Mingyue!" β
Mingyue's helper placed the two baskets of meals on the table, but they were three meats, three vegetables and six delicacies.
Among them, "dried scallop winter melon balls". "Lotus Lotus Root Crisp" and "Fengyang Stuffed Tofu", Liu Wenyang can roughly recognize, as for the other three plates, I don't know what they are.
Liu Wenyang stretched out his chopsticks and tasted one of the plates, but he felt that the meat was tender and crispy, especially the red cherries on top of it, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
"What is this dish?" Liu Wenyang couldn't help but ask.
Na Chunmei smiled and said, "Childe Xu hasn't eaten it." This dish is called 'Hidden Jiao in the Snow', but it uses one pound of eels on its back and six egg whites. 2 red cherries, soy sauce and sugar. Shaoxing wine, chopped green onion and ginger are baked! β
Liu Wenyang couldn't help but smile when he heard her say so seriously: "It seems that you must be very good at cooking, and you can talk about this dish well!" β
Chunmei heard Liu Wenyang praise herself, and couldn't help but feel happy, and said: "The other two dishes are 'Shrimp Big Black Cucumber' and 'Lingzhi Love Yuechan'......" That Chunmei then explained the condiments and methods in detail, which made Liu Wenyang's appetite move.
A table of meals has been eaten by Liu Wenyang and Xiao Tong Mingyue in a short time.
patting the belly, Mingyue licked her mouth. I only feel that after following the young master, this life is extremely happy and satisfying.
Liu Wenyang was full of food and drink, and it was inevitable that he would be a little bored, just because there were few entertainment activities in this Ming Dynasty. Most people are well-fed and mothers-in-law drill ** to make villains.
So Liu Wenyang asked that Chunmei if she had a fun game, and Chunmei said that she wanted to play Go.
After Chunmei and Qiu Ju finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, they took Go and came over. Liu Wenyangyan also wanted to be a vassal and elegant, but he was really not good at Go, and he lost to Chunmei and Qiu Ju without playing kung fu.
Seeing that his ability to play Go stinks so much. That Chunmei and Qiu Ju couldn't help but be surprised. In their opinion, Liu Wenyang is handsome and handsome, and he is simply the best type of talent. This kind of person should be familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now...... This chess skill is also terrible.
"Childe. But I wonder if you will participate in this year's poetry competition? Chunmei asked suddenly.
"What convention?" Liu Wenyang was stunned, he was wrong again, and Chunmei took the opportunity to eat a few of his chess pieces.
"It's the poetry competition held by those talented and beautiful people in Poyang City, many people who want to be famous want to participate, if you want, we will tell the master and let her find a way to squeeze out a seat for you."
What kind of character Liu Wenyang is, as soon as he heard it, he understood, it turned out that this poetry conference was the same as what the bookstall owner said before, to put it bluntly, it was a "limelight conference", but he was famous, it was already loud enough, so why fight for this vacant position. Besides, although I have a lot of inventory of famous artists from the past and present in my stomach, who knows what their rules are? If they let it be written on the spot, their own bad words will be enough for them to suspect. It's better to hide than to be strong. It can also be a little more inscrutable.
Thinking of this, Liu Wenyang shook his head and said, "I won't participate...... The wind and snow are not for me. β
"Besides, I wholeheartedly help people watch fortune telling, and I rarely participate in activities like reciting poems that are not beneficial to people, so I appreciate the kindness of the two."
Liu Wenyang's words made Chunmei and Qiu Ju awe-inspired, and said in their hearts, Liu Gongzi is really not a mortal, he only thinks about helping people, but he doesn't have the slightest intention of selling his reputation.
How did the two of them know that the Liu Dashao in front of them didn't want to be in the limelight, but was afraid of revealing the stuffing, so he was wronged and clumsy.
"In that case, we don't have much to say...... Yawn! But it was Chunmei who yawned and looked a little sleepy. is also facing a bad chess player like Liu Wenyang, and playing chess with him is really boring.
Liu Wenyang also felt a little embarrassed, so he suggested that it would be better to come to some lottery heads, and if he lost, he would pay ten cents a game.
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately warmly welcomed by Chunmei and Qiu Ju, and said straightly: "This color is good, so it will be more interesting to play." β
Needless to say, Liu Wenyang became a "general who often loses", and he was often rounded up by others after less than three minutes, or he was directly annihilated.
Ten texts, twenty texts, thirty texts. Fifty ...... Chunmei and Qiu Ju are winning more and more money in front of them, and the two of them are becoming more and more energetic. Especially Chunmei, who was yawning and stretching her waist just now, is even more radiant at this moment. In her eyes, Liu Wenyang on the other side has already become a money bank that can be withdrawn at will, and a money warehouse that can be exploited at will.
A layer of fine sweat appeared on Liu Wenyang's head. It's not that he's afraid of losing money, but he loses too often, or loses to two little girls, it's really faceless.
All this was seen by Xiao Tong Mingyue, who was very upset for his young master. In his opinion, it's not that the young master's chess skills are too stinky. It's that these two girls have teamed up to calculate the young master.
Just when Mingyue wanted to open her mouth to persuade the young master not to go down again, Liu Wenyang suddenly said, "Why don't we play in a different way!" β
"Changing the way? How to play? Chunmei said curiously.
Liu Wenyang smiled, separated the black and white, and said, "Now I will teach you a very simple chess method, and you will be able to learn it as soon as you learn it." Please note! As he spoke, Liu Wenyang gestured on the board.
Not to mention, it's really simple, it simply made Chunmei and Qiu Ju smile and bend over, "Young Master Liu, don't you want to rely on this new way of playing to turn over?" β
Liu Wenyang rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "I have that plan!" β
"Giggles, then you're wrong. Don't cry your nose when you lose! "Chunmei and Qiu Ju are familiar with Liu Wenyang, but they are not big or small, and there are no rules.
"Then give it a try. See who begs for mercy first! β
β¦β¦
A new battle has begun.
I saw Liu Wenyang's demonstration just now very simple, Chunmei and Qiu Ju thought that this kind of chess method was very easy to play, but they really knew that it was endless!
There is such a thing in the whole world, which looks simple, but is actually complicated.
Soon. Chunmei and Qiu Ju were defeated in the hands of Liu Wenyang in a row.
Losing and losing, the original winnings in front of the two quickly flowed back. Chunmei was anxious, and Qiu Ju was annoyed. The two of them wanted to fight with Liu Wenyang to the end. But the result is ...... The two lost a lot of money instead!
Xiao Tong Mingyue gloated, he didn't expect his young master to be so capable, so he turned danger into victory after a while.
Especially at this time, the chessboard is even more ingenious, it is almost full of chess pieces, and it is about to be drawn, but Liu Wenyang created a loophole, and the five sons connected and completely defeated Na Chunmei.
Chunmei had a bitter face: "What should I do, I lost ...... again"
Tears; "Let's do it again!"
Liu Wenyang stretched his waist and yawned, "I'm sorry, two beauties, it's getting late, we're going to sleep!" β
"No, you can't!"
"Not allowed!"
"But I'm really sleepy!"
"Moraipi!"
"Don't steal chickens!"
Liu Wenyang was almost speechless, and said: "I'm not playing tricks, nor am I playing stealing chickens, I'm really sleepy and tired...... Why don't you win your money, and you take it back? β
"Humph! You have a conscience! β
"Ha, count you as interested!"
Liu Wenyang: "......"
After a while, Fang said: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!" β
β¦β¦
In the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, the twelfth day of the first month.
In the morning, Liu Wenyang went out to do Tai Chi to exercise his arms and legs, but unexpectedly the wind blew, and soon he found that he seemed to have a cold, his head was hot, and his body was cold.
Especially in this early spring season, wearing clothes is the most particular, and if you are not careful, you will catch a cold, make you sneeze and have a runny nose, and there is no special medicine in this era, which makes you feel extremely uncomfortable.
At least Liu Wenyang has this feeling, his nose is not breathing, his head is dizzy, and his whole body is sore, which makes people restless.
Xiao Tong Mingyue saw that the young master seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so she found some thin ginger shreds, stirred the shallots and brown sugar, and boiled three bowls of water into a bowl for Liu Wenyang to drink.
Ginger soup drives away cold and sweating, and is the best home remedy for treating colds and fevers. After Liu Wenyang drank this bowl of soup, he lay down on the ** to rest, closed his eyes but couldn't sleep, so he took a newly bought novel from under the pillow and looked at it to relieve his boredom.
In the early Ming Dynasty, many ordinary people liked to buy some books and periodicals such as words and lyrics on the street. Most of these books and periodicals belong to woodcut books, with poor engraving, blurred handwriting, many typos, and most of the content is vulgar and low-level, such as "**Three More Si Lang", "Good in the Nunnery**", and "Eighteen Touches in a Minor", etc.
Of course, there are also some more popular lyrics, such as "Song Taizu Fights the Tiger", "The White Lady Swims in the Lake and Meets Xu Xian", and "Kunlun Nu Flying Sword Cutting the White Ape" and so on. These lyrics are placed on the street stalls, a thin book, usually three cents a book, many people who go to the city to buy goods if they have a small change will buy two copies and put them in a basket, with a flat pole as a entrainment to take home.
Of course, most of them are illiterate, and they buy these books not to read, but to listen. After buying it back, I asked the literate person in the village to make a pot of tea, and surrounded the big guys to listen to him. This kind of "reader", although most of them only know a few words, many words can't be pronounced, so they make up their own random words, anyway, the book doesn't know whether he reads right or wrong, in short, there is tea to drink, and everyone's admiration and expectation for him, which definitely makes him very satisfied.
In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, the publishing industry relied on these prodigal book deals to gradually coax, and now Liu Wenyang is holding this book in the Ming Dynasty's "street culture", a small thin book engraved with "The Big Girl Pulls Cabbage".
Looking through it, I saw that the things written in it were really interesting. Like many folk novels, this book is not signed by its real name, but only written "Poyang's Eighth Genius Book".
The eighth talent, who knows how old it is...
