Xiao Jiading understood that Du Erniu had already gotten the title of the Poetry Club and was looking for him to cheat. He told the scholar Wen Yan to go out of the house by himself, and then took Du Erniu to his residence.

After entering the door, Du Erniu closed the door and said with a smile: "Big brother, I have already got the topic." In addition, there is good news for you, and you must be happy to hear it. ”

"Oh? What's the good news, isn't it that you're getting married? Xiao Jiading said with a narrow smile.

Du Erniu's chubby face turned slightly red, gave him a big white eye, and said, "No! It's my godmother who said that I want you to be the deputy head of our 'Bailu Poetry Society'! ”

"What?" Xiao Jiading glared and said, "Why didn't you notify me and develop me in?" ”

"Notice? Didn't Sister Huang inform you yesterday? ”

"Sister Huang? Huang Shiyun? ”

"Yes, we discussed it the day before yesterday, it was Sister Huang who proposed to my godmother, Mrs. Ji, the head of our poetry club, to let you join our poetry club, you are a member of our yamen, and you defeated Zhong Wenbo, the first talent in Yizhou, when she said this, everyone said yes. So it was decided, Sister Huang said that she would notify you, didn't she tell you? ”

Xiao Jiading immediately understood that yesterday afternoon, Huang Shiyun came to find him, and one of the things was because of this, but he was choked by a few words from himself. Then she stayed and waited for herself, I am afraid that she would have to discuss this matter with herself. wanted to persuade herself to join their poetry club, but she didn't expect that she was drunk, and she took the initiative to take care of it, but not only was she drunk and slept all night with her quilt hugged, but she was also scolded by herself in the morning, and of course she didn't have a chance to talk about it.

Xiao Jiading heard Du Erniu say that he wanted to join their poetry club by himself, because Huang Shiyun and Tang Rongxuan in this poetry club gave him a bad impression, and he really didn't want to be in the same stream with such a person, so he said: "I think about it, forget it, my crooked talent is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance." You thank Mrs. Xie Ji for me, and thank her for her kindness. ”

Du Erniu was anxious when she heard this, and hugged his arm: "Big brother!" If you don't participate in our poetry club, we will definitely lose this year's competition with the state government yamen. - We've lost three times in a row! Just help us! ”

Xiao Jiading was curious: "What event?" ”

"Our 'Bailu Poetry Society' in Shaocheng County and the 'Tiaozhihua Poetry Society' composed of people from the state capital Yamen hold a competition every year, and the color is very heavy. We've lost three times in a row. Moreover, this year's competition stabbing history attaches great importance to it, and he wants to serve as a referee with Tang Sima! ”

Xiao Jiading couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this. Said: "Tang Sima? ”

"Yes, it's Tang Lin Tang Sima who recommended you to serve as the county commander."

According to his own speculation, it is estimated that his poem was written to the bottom of his heart, and he got his favor, coupled with his analysis of the case he proposed, which increased this favor, and felt that he might be a manufacturable talent, so he recommended himself. Everyone said that he was their backer, but they had only seen him once. Last time, I told Ya Niang about meeting him, but Ya Niang said that it was difficult to see even herself. Not good appointment.

Since he was sponsored because he admired him, he should try his best to find opportunities to show more. On the one hand, it is the ability to handle cases, and on the other hand, it is poetry. Because it is estimated that Tang Lin recommended himself for these two reasons.

Now, Tang Lin is going to participate in the poetry club competition of the state and county yamen as a referee, which is just an opportunity to show himself.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared! Xiao Jiading firmly believes this.

If you want to climb the big tree of Tang Lin, you must find every opportunity to have more contact with him, so that they can understand and appreciate themselves. Only by constantly showing one's ability in front of the leader can one be appreciated by the leader and have hope for further promotion. Xiao Jiading is very clear about this.

So, he made a quick decision, put aside his dislike for Huang and Tang, and used this poetry meeting as a stage to show his ability.

Xiao Jiading sighed, and said to Du Erniu with a wry smile: "You know the truth, I especially hate Huang Shiyun and Tang Rongxuan, but I like to be with you very much, and now you beg me again, which makes me very embarrassed......

When Du Erniu heard Xiao Jiading's words, she seemed to be a little loose, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, hugged his arm tightly, and shook it: "Big brother, good big brother!" In this case, you can look at the face of the little sister and agree to the little sister. Don't pay attention to them, ah no, don't pay attention to that Tang Rongxuan, in fact, Sister Huang is very good. Her former angel said good things about you, and my godmother also admired you very much, she read your poems and said it was amazing! ”

"Really?"

"Hmmm! The day before yesterday, Sister Huang showed everyone the poem you wrote, saying that it was your new work, and she finally got it. We've all copied a few of your poems, and they've all spread now. It's so well written! ”

Xiao Jiading immediately understood that what Huang Shiyun took out to show them should be the ones he copied when he was eating wine at her house that day, this Nizi didn't say that she went to her house to eat and drink, and didn't use this to show off, which made Xiao Jiading's disgust with her somewhat lessened.

Xiao Jiading felt that his arm was experiencing her curves and temperature in Du Erniu's plump arms, and his body began to react out of harm's way, so he quickly pulled out his hand, patted her shoulder, and said, "You pat my ass like this, don't you just want me to participate in your poetry club?" Okay, you helped me, I should help you too, I promised! ”

This favor must be given.

Du Erniu jumped up happily, opened her arms and hugged him all at once: "Great! Brother Xiao, you agreed, but you can't regret it! ”

Xiao Jiading was originally holding one arm and had already reacted, but now that the whole person was being held, he was afraid that it would be more troublesome, so he quickly pulled Du Erniu's arms down and said, "Don't be like this, like a child, talk well!"

"People are happy!" Du Erniu didn't care, "The game time has not been set yet, but it's too soon." We will notify you in advance. The day after tomorrow, our poetry society was formed, outside the city on the willow embankment. Let's go together then! ”

"The day after tomorrow?" Xiao Jiading was also preparing to go to the grave of Su Yunxia's mother when he was off the day after tomorrow, and did his filial piety for this poor girl, so he said, "Then can I go later?" I have something. ”

"We went to eat at noon, didn't you do things well in the morning?"

Xiao Jiading was immediately relieved and said, "Okay, then I'll do things in the morning and go together at noon." ”

"What a shame! It's decided, by the way, I'll tell you the topic this time, you can help me prepare two songs, I don't expect to take the first, as long as it's not the last one. ”

After that, Du Erniu said the topic.

After listening to it, Xiao Jiading felt that the topic was very popular, and there were a lot of related poems in his stomach, so he chose a few of them and told her. Although it is only a mid-stream level poem, for Du Erniu, it has far exceeded her expectations, and she can't help but be overjoyed, remember it with her heart, and say worriedly: "Big brother, you have enough good poems for me, so what should you do?" ”

Xiao Jiading deliberately stabbed and laughed: "My talent for becoming a poet in seven steps is not a waste of fame." ”

Du Erniu was immediately relieved and went out in a hurry.

Xiao Jiading came out of his residence and walked to the signing room. When he was about to arrive, a middle-aged man came to him, nodded and bowed to Xiao Jiading: "Xiao Zhiyi!" ”

Xiao Jiading took a closer look, it was the city order of the Yamen, and his surname was Zuo. It's just that the last time County Lieutenant Deng took him to recognize people, they met once, and they didn't have any contact. This market order is in charge of the market, which is equivalent to the current director of the industrial and commercial office. It's just that commerce has always had a very low status in ancient times when agriculture was heavy and light commerce, so his city order was not as awesome as it is in modern times. Xiao Jiading arched his hand and said: "It's the Zuo City Order." Is there something wrong? ”

Zuo Shiling looked a little sneaky, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Is Xiao Zhiyi free at night?" A piece out of the slum to sit? ”

Xiao Jiading knew that he must have something to ask for him, so he said: "Zuo Shiling doesn't have to be polite, if there is anything to use for brothers, just say it." I'll do my best. ”

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and there is one more friend and one more way, Xiao Jiading understands this very well. So it's very polite to speak.

Hearing these words in Zuo Shiling's ears made him very excited, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you, thank you, it's not something special, it's the case of the Wu family, and his husband wants to tell Zhiyi about it." He has a good relationship with me, so he has come to me,—— please rest assured, I know how to measure and will not let him make any unreasonable requests. Besides, Xiao Zhiyi has been coming to the yamen for so many days, and the younger brother has not taken the opportunity to sit with Zhiyi. We happened to be together tonight. What do you think? ”

Su Yunxia, who sued her mother-in-law in order to avenge her biological mother, her mother-in-law was called Wu, and there was no Wu in the other cases at hand. Xiao Jiading couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and asked, "Wu's case?" Is it the one who killed his aunt? ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, her husband's name is Su Laocai, and he wants to meet you. Ask me to make an appointment, I just want to be close to Zhiyi, I don't know if Zhiyi appreciates his face? ”

When Xiao Jiading heard that it was indeed that case, he wanted to know what Su Yunxia's old father wanted to say to him. said immediately: "If it were someone else, I would have pushed it, but since Zuo Shiling opened his mouth, this face must be given." ”

Xiao Jiading's favor immediately made Zuo Shiling's whole body flutter, and he hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you, thank you for holding the clothes." Then it's decided. The yamen people are talkative, let's go separately, after the yamen disperses, the younger brother is waiting for the clothes at the Huanhuaxi Wharf, okay? ”
