Jinling, the beautiful capital of the Southern Dynasties, has been famous for its abundance of literati and beauties in the past dynasties, and it is the only one that enjoys the reputation of the flower capital among the capitals of various countries.

Travelers from the cold north, if they are lucky enough to come to Jinling, it is difficult not to have nostalgia for it, and the most difficult to part with is the ten miles of Qinhuai.

Ten miles of Qinhuai literati gathered, more businessmen gathered, in addition to a bustling market, there are many Qinlou Chu Pavilion.

In a core area on the north bank of Qinhuai, there is a high-rise building called "Qifeng Pavilion", which is one of the most famous Chu pavilions in the whole Jinling.

At first glance, the name of this building is a bit arrogant, but in fact, it has its own origin. This building was originally called "Huayu Building", more than ten years ago, Xiao Ruixue's mother Zhu Yan also made a pillar here, but she was redeemed by Xiao Hui not long after her debut, so her fame has not spread. And now, this building has already had a new hostess, and her fame is second to none in the minds of the literati of Southern Chu, she is Yuan Shu, who is known as "the first beauty of Southern Chu". The three words "Qifeng Pavilion" were inscribed by Sun Jun, the king of Zhao, for her, and I heard that the emperor had permission behind it.

Some people may ask, where did Yuan Shu's title of "the first beauty in Southern Chu" come from, is it because of her unparalleled beauty?

This is a word of wisdom, Yuan Shu does have extraordinary beauty, but people are thousands of good, flowers are a hundred kinds of red, and it is difficult for a person's beauty to be called the first in everyone's minds.

In fact, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, Qinhuai River will hold a grand event of Oiran competition, and famous prostitutes from Jinling and even the state capitals of Southern Chu will come to participate, Yuan Shu has won the championship for three consecutive times since her debut, and the name of "the first beauty in Southern Chu" has just gone away, all in all, this is also a well-deserved name.

Today is the twenty-eighth day of September, coinciding with Yuan Shu's eighteenth birthday, many literati and dignitaries have come to celebrate her birthday, making Qifeng Pavilion a lively and jubilant.

"Look, everyone, everyone Yuan is out!"

In a group of maids holding the moon in the stars, Yuan Shu walked down the stairs, she was wearing a pale pink water-sleeved dress, with a faint plum blossom makeup on her face, smiling silently, a pair of starry eyes were shining, and under the background of the tear mole in her left eye, she showed tenderness like water.

"Friends, don't come unharmed, right?" Yuan Shu's voice is sweet but not greasy, and there is an inexplicable goodness.

"I'm fine! Yuan, everyone is really getting more and more beautiful! ”

"Yes, everyone Yuan, you are a little more immortal than when I met you at the Oiran competition last year!"

"Yuan's smile is sweet and moving, and his complexion is also quite good!"

In the face of the tide of praise, Yuan Shu responded very calmly, she always smiled, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Hey, that's King Zhao, right? Oops, King Zhao is here too! When everyone focused on the protagonist Yuan Shu, they suddenly found a person who was not the protagonist but was better than the protagonist.

The man had a slender figure of seven and a half feet, dressed in brocade clothes, and was smiling against the railing at this time. He is obviously a man, but his fair face is handsome like a woman, and he has a pair of moving peach blossom eyes, which is just like Pan An in the world, but the most striking thing is his extravagance exuding from the inside out. Imagine this Southern Chu world, except for Zhao Wang Sun Jun, who can combine such appearance and temperament?

"It's really His Royal Highness King Zhao!"

"Long time no see, His Royal Highness King Zhao!"

"Your Highness is really getting more and more handsome and extraordinary!"

Many people present knew Sun Jun, so they bowed their hands to him.

Sun Jun was dashing and dignified, he smiled and saluted everyone: "Today is the birthday of the Yuan family, you don't have to care about this king!" This king is also here to act as a green leaf for everyone in Yuan, if you have any good poems and paintings, just dedicate them to everyone Yuan! ”

Yuan Shu glanced back at Sun Jun, and the two looked at each other and smiled, full of affection.

Everyone also applauded, Sun Jun's words set the tone for today's banquet, that is, not to talk about noble status, only to talk about elegance. So everybody was excited.

An official named Xu Yun of the Ministry of Industry used to be one of Yuan Shu's admirers, although now there is no chance to be her guest in the scene, but it is also excellent to show his strengths on today's occasion, he was the first to stand up: "Yuan everyone, this is a portrait drawn by Xu for you, I hope you can give me more advice!" ”

"Lord Xu is too humble! Your lady's picture is a must in Jinling, you can paint for me, the little woman can only read the grateful, how to talk about advice? Yuan Shu took the scroll with a smile on her face, and asked softly, "Lord Xu, I wonder if you can open it at this moment?" ”

Xu Yun smiled slightly: "Open it!" ”

Yuan Shu slowly unfolded the scroll in front of everyone, and when she saw herself lifelike on the scroll, her eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and she exclaimed: "The painting is so good, I almost mistakenly thought I was looking in the mirror!" ”

This witty remark couldn't help but make everyone laugh, and among the many compliments, Xu Yun also became red: "In this way, please accept it!" ”

Yuan Shu said lightly: "Thank you, Lord Xu!" ”

"Everyone Yuan, Li made a partridge song for you, and I hope you will give me a lot of advice!" Another talented man from Suzhou stood up to perform for Yuan Shu.

The touching smile on Yuan Shu's face did not diminish in the slightest.

In the Qifeng Pavilion, all kinds of literati and scholars sang and I appeared, and the guests and hosts showed their joy. However, the feast, though elegant and long, was still coming to an end after several hours. It's just that there is one other person among them, and the most important one, who has not yet displayed any of his talents.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, since you are dedicated to supporting everyone Yuan, how can you not leave some ink treasures? Everyone knows that you are an iron painting and a silver hook! ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Zhao, your poetry is also unparalleled in the world, why don't you let me wait and have the honor to witness your demeanor?"

In the midst of everyone's thousands of calls, Sun Jun finally stood up from the banquet, he took the wine glass handed over by Yuan Shu and took a sip lightly, as a tribute to everyone, and said with a smile: "Since everyone is so invited, then the king has no choice but to offer a sacrifice of ugliness!" ”

Just as the little servant went to fetch the four treasures of the study, another person suddenly stood up during the banquet: "Wait, His Royal Highness King Zhao, I have a proposal!" ”

Everyone looked for words, and saw that the speaker was a white-clothed scribe, who looked to be about thirty years old, with a white face and a shallow beard, an elegant appearance, and a very polite tone of speech.

When Sun Jun saw that person, he couldn't help but smile: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Qian Fu Yin, why did you sit there?" ”

It turned out that the white-clothed scribe who spoke was an official in Southern Chu, who lived in Jinling Mansion Yin and was surnamed Qian Minglun. (Author's note, it was mentioned before that Qian Lun's official position was Jingzhao Mansion Yin, but I later found out that Jingzhao actually refers to a fixed area in Chang'an, and Qian Lun's name Jingzhao Yin is a bit inappropriate, so it was corrected to Jinling Mansion Yin, and the same is true for the follow-up story.) ）

Qian Lun said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, the lower officials came to celebrate the birthday of everyone Yuan this time, just to appreciate the scene of the audience gathering together, it doesn't matter where you sit." ”

Sun Jun nodded: "Then what is your so-called proposal?" ”

Qian Lun said: "The banquet is coming to an end, and the lower officials feel reluctant, so they think that there is any other way to add a little more color to it." I know that His Royal Highness's pen and ink are unparalleled, so I also want to offer an ugly, and I want to try it with His Highness, I wonder if His Highness can agree? ”

After listening to Qian Lun's words, many people in the audience began to talk to each other.

Sun Jun laughed after hearing this: "I have heard for a long time that Yin Kaishu of Qianfu is a unique in the world, and this king has long wanted to learn from you, but today I really can't ask for it!" ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Zhao, for your face!"

"Learn skills, how can you talk about appreciating faces?" Sun Jun smiled slightly, "But, although it is a skill, you can have fun if you can have a bet!" ”

Qian Lun was stunned and said, "Yes, I don't know what His Highness is willing to bet on?" As he spoke, his eyes seemed to glance at Yuan Shu inadvertently.

"Take the colorful glazed treasure tree collected in my palace as a bet."

"Uh, then the lower official would like to-"

"Wait, Qian Fu Yin, I just want a treasure from your mansion!"

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Futu" in the previous dynasty!"
