Chapter 222: Red Flowers and Green Leaves

"The owner of this Chunfeng Building is also a wonderful person, and it is said that he built four restaurants on Qingyun Street. However, only one place is usually opened, and all of them are opened when the township test is completed. While walking, Xiang Chengxian chatted with Fang Yingwu.

Fang Yingwu looked at the street, many of the shops were facing heavy traces of construction, and the price of selling was also heavy. Then he said: "On this Qingyun Street, it really hasn't been opened for three years, and it's been open for three years." ”

It was not the first time Xiang Chengxian had come to the provincial capital to participate in the township test, but when he heard Fang Yingwu's words, he still felt interesting: "Not bad, Brother Fang Xian's witty words, that's what it meant." ”

Half an hour later, Xiang Chengxian pointed to a brightly lit restaurant in the distance and said, "That's it." ”

The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the Accord. After entering through the building door, Xiang Chengxian took Fang Yingwu with him and went around the stairs to the second floor.

Seeing that there were three or four guarded house slaves blocking the road, Xiang Chengxian reported a person's name, so the two were led to a larger room inside. There were already more than a dozen people in the room, and two or three groups were sitting casually, and the scene was extremely relaxed.

In this atmosphere, there is no need to be bound by etiquette, after Xiang Chengxian entered, no one asked him who he was, and he did not introduce himself. Just looking around, Xiang Chengxian came directly to a beautiful scholar and sat down, and at the same time greeted Fang Yingwu.

Xiang Chengxian saw Fang Yingwu sitting down, pointed to Fang Yingwu and introduced to the Qingxiu scholar: "This is Fang Yingwu in my county, extremely talented. ”

The other party Yingwu introduced: "This is Brother Fu Jiru, a talented man from the local West Lake Poetry Society, you and I were able to participate in the event this time, or it was introduced by Brother Fu." ”

Fu Jiru and Fang Yingwu saluted each other, and said: "Look up for a long time." ”

As for whether it is really "long-awaited". That is, God knows, you know, I know. However, when Fu Jiru heard the name Fang Yingwu, he did flash a trace of doubt. I feel as if I've heard this name somewhere. But he didn't think much about it, and there were many familiar names. Not bad for this one.

Xiang Chengxian nodded a few more people, and whispered to the other party: "These people are all from the West Lake Poetry Society, and they are also the initiators of this rally." ”

Fang Yingwu has seen them one by one, and he is not too impressed, but if he can join the West Lake Poetry Society, which is said to be very powerful, and can initiate an assembly, he must be a celebrity in Hangzhou. As for the others, including themselves, they are probably outsiders invited by the initiators.

Today, after a long period of peace, literati organizations such as the folk literary society and poetry society have sprung up. However, it is said that this association arose among the scholars and doctors who lived in the villages. In the beginning, it was often initiated by old men such as Zhishi officials. Later, however, young people discovered the benefits of being organized, and associations flourished.

Even Chun'an County has East Society and West Society, but Fang Yingwu has a high heart and is not interested in these cultural societies in the county, so he did not join.

Just as he was talking happily, someone suddenly shouted at the person in charge during the banquet: "Brother Zhou! Is there only talk tonight? There is alcohol, and there is no beauty to accompany the wine, which is inevitably a little boring! ”

Is this a disturbance or a heckler? Fang Yingwu heard the words and looked at the main seat. The name of the person in charge sitting there was Zhou Yiyuan, and he had just heard Xiang Chengxian's introduction.

Zhou Zhou Yuan did not have a look of displeasure on his face, and replied: "Now that the township test is imminent, there are many high-level talents in the province. Tonight is just to gather all the old and new friends to meet and talk, and ask our generation to fulfill the friendship of landlords first. Don't you know that the West Lake Yaji is the right topic the day after tomorrow? ”

The previous man coaxed again: "Even so, Brother Zhou has to show some sincerity tonight!" ”

Zhou Zhou Yuan patted the case and said: "I can't say that you are a splasher." I sent someone to invite Miss Feng Xiao to come! ”

Several people in the room applauded. Fu Jiru turned his head, and the other party said with a smile: "Friend Fang may not know something. Miss Feng Xiao is this year's Oiran of the city, and you may have seen it tonight. ”

The crowd continued to drink and gossip. Fang Yingwu also talked to half of the master, Fu Jiru. I can sit here, or rely on Fu Gongzi's recommendation, and I still have to give the face I should give.

I don't know how long it took, the curtain shook, the incense breeze fluttered, and a beautiful woman suddenly flashed in, which immediately attracted the eyes of the whole room. Fang Yingwu looked up a few times, and couldn't help but applaud in his heart, this appearance was really as beautiful as a flower.

But I saw that the decoration of this beauty was not complicated, and the bun was pulled a few times at will, and it was loose; The simple green jacket and red skirt covered the curvaceous and delicate body, and it was also loose, so that a narrow trace of skin was exposed on the chest.

Looking at her demeanor again, she was very lazy and weak, her starry eyes were half-open and half-open, and there was a little maid next to her who was carefully supporting.

"This is Yuan Fengxiao." Fu Jiru introduced the other party Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian.

Yuan Fengxiao walked into the house step by step, and asked Zhou Yuan lazily: "The slave family is sleepy tonight, and I received a summons from Zhou Gongzi before I fell asleep, I don't know what Zhou Gongzi commanded?" ”

Zhou Zhou Yuan pointed to everyone: "Some friends think that this place is not lively enough, so they asked Miss Fengxiao to come to the rescue." ”

Someone shouted: "Brother Zhou has such a big face, he even said that he would invite the Oiran to come!" It's just that there are more than a dozen people here, even though Miss Feng Xiao is outstanding, but she lacks skills, where can one of them be enough? ”

Zhou Zhou Yuan scolded with a smile, "It's all this hour, where can I find a dozen outstanding beauties temporarily?" That's all there is to it, if you don't accept it, you can ask for it yourself! ”

Someone else asked: "One Oiran also competes ten, but I don't know which one to accompany Miss Fengxiao?" Could it be that Brother Zhou wants to monopolize it? ”

Zhou Zhou Yuan hugged his fists and begged for mercy from everyone again and again: "You don't have to give you any problems, who should Miss Feng Xiao accompany, and please compete on your own, and never participate in the next!" I think let Miss Feng Xiao make the question and be the judge, you each write a poem, whoever is the best, tonight is who monopolizes the Oiran! ”

Xiang Chengxian couldn't help but wink at the other party, and said in a low voice: "There are so many talented people in the banquet, Brother Fang Xian is going to add glory to our county, I am optimistic about you!" ”

Fang Yingwu was unfazed and noncommittal, the activity of comparing poems was really not challenging for him, and it was enough to copy a few poems from his stomach.

When the Oiran heard this, he lightly opened his lips and said: "Seeing the grand meeting of the sages tonight, I will take the night banquet as the theme. ”

Zhou Zhou Yuan called the store and brought paper and pen to distribute to everyone in the house. Written. and it may be handed over to him, and he may read it in public. for publicity.

This kind of literati game is commonplace for everyone. In this way, they didn't say much, and they all bowed their heads and pondered. Wen Si is fast, and he has already started to write. Fang Yingwu was "confident", so he was not in a hurry, and wrote a poem casually and handed it to Zhou Yiyuan.

But he said that Zhou Yuan was very busy this week, holding the scroll and reading constantly, "Qiantang Shao Chen." Shengyou Liangxiao lined up and sang who played the purple cloud back. The Milky Way is faintly starry. The head of the string orchestra is intent on urging"

Putting down this, he picked up another scroll and continued to read: "Chun'an Fang Yingwu. The river Han is close to the Yao seat, and the curtain is empty. The golden cup shakes the night shadow, and the candles cut the sound of spring. A smile hides the hook play, and the low back dances in the snow. The joyful singing did not stop, and the moon shone on the three watches. ”

After reading this poem, Zhou Gongzi was stunned for some reason, and then continued to read. Here, Fu Jiru also glanced at Fang Yingwu in surprise. couldn't help but admire: "Friend Fang is really talented. ”

Xiang Chengxian alluded to the Oiran, and the other party Yingwu gave a "men understand" look, and the other party Yingwu arched his hand, and made a "congratulations" mouth shape in his mouth.

Gradually. Everyone finished the question. After Zhou Zhou Yuan also recited more than a dozen poems one by one, the room suddenly became quiet, waiting for the results of the competition. The atmosphere is slightly subtle.

Who in the world is not competitive? Even if it's a play on words, who wouldn't want to win? Not to mention that the winner can win a "monopoly of the Oiran" affair. Especially someone like Fang Yingwu who came from out of town. Who wouldn't want to make a splash in a provincial capital?

Zhou Zhou Yuan did not waste time, after asking and leaving nothing missing. sent all the poems to Yuan Huakui's hands, "It's all here, and I also ask Miss Feng Xiao to be the examiner to select the best." ”

In more than a dozen longing glances, Yuan Fengxiao put the scroll on the case, elegantly raised his hand and flipped through it, pursed Hongling's small mouth and muttered for a moment, and finally said: "If the slave family evaluates Shao Gongzi's best!" ”

Zhou Zhou Yuan immediately applauded: "Miss Feng Xiao has a good eye, and she thinks so in the future!" ”

He turned his head again and congratulated a young man not far away who was not as good as the weak crown: "Brother Shao Xian is the leader tonight, this is a good omen of great luck, congratulations!" ”

During the banquet, several people shouted together: "Congratulations to Brother Shao Xian for monopolizing the Oiran tonight!" ”

For a while, the room was extremely noisy, and Yuan Huakui also complied with the agreement, walked to Shao Chen's side in a curling manner, sat down and smiled, and began to pour wine for him.

This Shao Gongzi is young, his body is also a little thin, and he seems to be a little jerky, so he can only return the salute to everyone again and again at this time.

Xiang Chengxian was very surprised, in his opinion, Fang Yingwu's poem was definitely the best one tonight, how could he let this surnamed Shao grab the best in a blink of an eye?

Is it because Fang Yingwu is his own person, so he has the illusion of loving the house and Wu, or is it because his taste for poetry has dropped sharply and is out of the public level?

There was no word for a night, and when the song was over, the crowd left Chunfeng Building.

When the bright moon was in the sky, Xiang Chengxian and Fang Yingwu walked side by side on the street. Xiang Dagongzi was worried that after Fang Yingwu lost in the strongest item, he couldn't think about it, so he comforted: "Tonight is just an accident, Brother Fang Xian doesn't have to mind, there are more opportunities like this!" ”

"What an accident, tonight is not an accident at all." Fang Yingwu sneered. Xiang Chengxian is not stupid, hearing Fang Yingwu say this, he suddenly realized something in his heart.

Fang Yingwu continued: "Can't you see it yet? This elegant gathering, it is a few locals of the West Lake Poetry Society who have made a bureau!

Tonight, they deliberately invited Yuan Fengxiao to play the double reed, and deliberately let Shao Gongzi come out on top, in order to praise Shao Gongzi's fame!

As for us outsiders, they are all brought in and used. Through our word of mouth, Shao Gongzi's fame naturally spread to all parts of the province.

You look at it, the West Lake Yaji is probably still the case the day after tomorrow, they treat themselves as red flowers, and we as green leaves! The water in the provincial capital is really deep enough, and under the lock of fame and profit, people's hearts are full of calculations everywhere. (To be continued......)

PS: The state is so bad, I don't feel anything when I write something, I release it with my strength, damn, I won't sleep tonight!
