Chapter 40: Zhou Xin

Half an hour later, Liu Yang sat in the spacious carriage with a helpless face. Next to it are the chattering Zhang Ya's second daughter, and Liu Yu, whose face is blue and swollen. This kid blindly admired himself, so Liu Yang had to pull him into the water.

"Cousin. Feeling Liu Yang's gaze, Liu Yu's chubby face also showed a helpless smile. He was extremely reluctant to go out, but because of the power of his sister, he had to accompany him out.

Liu Yang probably understands that Zhang Ya took a fancy to her own literary talent last time, so this time she had the intention to invite him to participate in the poetry and wine conference, and although Liu Qiaoer is a cultivator, as a best friend, she has to accompany her.

He felt a little helpless in his heart, he felt that this kind of elegant gathering tonight was not so simple, and the two women were outstanding, and it was difficult to guarantee that it would cause something else.

The Great Cadre established the country with martial arts, and the whole country was mainly cultivated, but in this generation of Emperor Qian, both civil and military, he respected the national policy of martial arts as the body and the soul, so there was a trend of elegance in the empire for more than ten years. Moreover, there were many schools in the imperial capital that taught knowledge and etiquette, and even the Imperial Academy, which was famous throughout the Great Qian, had specially opened Confucian lecture halls to train some literati and scholars.

The flourishing of literature naturally attracted the love of many young sons and ladies of aristocratic families in the imperial capital. Therefore, from time to time, some people hold some elegant poetry meetings or cocktail parties in restaurants or teahouses in the imperial capital.

The owner of the poetry and wine conference tonight is called Zhou Xin, from the Zhou family, although the Zhou family cannot be compared with the eight great families, it is a relative of the royal family, and it has a strong foundation, and it is also a first-class family in the imperial city.

Although the plain terrain of the imperial capital is flat, it is divided into two by a cold river from east to west. Moreover, there are many rumors about this cold river in the city, some people say that there was no such a monstrous river before the establishment of the imperial capital, and it was formed by the ravines that were unintentionally split by the founding emperor and the immortal master in the previous war. It is even rumored that this cold river is transformed by a giant dragon in the sky, and after being killed by a peerless powerhouse, the continuous body turns into this cold river, and every rainy season the tide is turbulent will emit a dragon-like roar.

No matter how many rumors there are, Hanjiang is the most popular place for literati and artists in the entire imperial capital. There are many restaurants and teahouses by the river, and I don't know how many of them, among which the most majestic atmosphere naturally belongs to Wangjiang Tower.

Since it is Wangjiang Tower, it is naturally unique, not only can you see the endless river, but also see the whole picture of most of the imperial city.

The scale of Wangjiang Tower is not the largest restaurant in the imperial capital, but it is about 30 zhang high like a spire towering into the sky, and it is the highest restaurant in the city.

The sky was dark, the night was as cool as water, and after the drizzle, the smooth water trails of the streets were slanted, and the light of the lights reflected the smooth stone slabs, becoming slowly bright.

Tonight, the sound of the river on the shore is louder, and the Wangjiang Tower standing at the head of the river is also more lively than ever. The only eldest daughter of the Zhou family invited countless young talents in the city to taste wine and poetry, which made many talented and beautiful people happy.

Or many people are not very profound, but since childhood, they have subtly thought that they are extraordinary, and they all want to become the pride of the elegant party to gain favor.

"Brother Han, didn't you expect you to come tonight?"

"It turned out to be Brother Li!"

Many young masters greeted each other when they met, these people usually have a deep intersection, and they are naturally very familiar with tonight's party now.

"I didn't expect the two brothers to come, I'm afraid that the winner of tonight's poetry and wine conference is one of the two of you. ”

"Yo, it turned out to be Brother Wu. ”

"Last time, I heard that you wrote a poem, but the drunkenness of the concubine made a royal princess look sideways, and tonight it seems that she is going to show her strength again. ”

"Haha...... It's everyone's love. ”

The young talents who came to tonight's party were all threes and threes or mavericks, but without exception they were all powerful figures, and none of them had a simple background.

On occasions like this, the children of the poor family basically can't get involved.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove in the distance. The white and holy horse, with a silver saddle, walked slowly with graceful steps.

The wheels of the carriage are made of a very special material, and even if they come into contact with the hard ground, they do not make any noise.

The figure driving the carriage was not very tall, but the robe he wore was very well-fitting, a neat robe, leather shoes, and a brand-new whip in his hand. It was Zhang Ya's carriage.

"Miss is almost here. ”

The coachman's calm voice came in from outside.

Hearing this, Zhang Ya nodded, her beautiful eyes fell on Liu Yang, and said with a smile: "I can see you tonight, don't let me down when the time comes." ”

"Sister Zhang Ya, I ......"

Liu Yang wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Qiao'er next to her, and she also said, "Cousin, don't be modest. She's never looked up to anyone else, and you're the first. ”

As she spoke, she also glanced at Liu Yang. Let the latter smile helplessly again.

As the carriage stopped, Zhang Ya and the others got out of the carriage slowly.

"Isn't this Miss Zhang Ya?"

"Next to Liu Qiao'er?"

The two of them are really beautiful, especially Miss Zhang, who does have the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose as rumored. ”

"Well, who are the two people behind? It turned out to be Miss Zhang, and they were in the same carriage. ”

"It's very eye-catching!"

......

Many people recognize Zhang Ya and Liu Qiaoer, after all, like two women, one is learned and the other is cultivated, so naturally they are also the objects of admiration of many people.

A young man dressed as a Confucian just walked to the door, and when he saw Zhang Ya coming over, his eyes were a little straight for a while. His extremely handsome and smooth and fair face, with his angular-cut coldness, dark and deep eyes, glowing with charming color, his thick eyebrows, his high nose, and beautiful lips all exude nobility and elegance. He stopped, and his eyes suddenly fell on the two men behind Zhang Ya.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he remembered something, and said softly: "I heard that Wang Jun was beaten by the heir of the Liu Mansion by pestering Zhang Ya a few days ago, could it be that these two people are Liu Yang and Liu Yu?"

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Zhang Ya and the others.

"This Wangjiang Tower is really magnificent, although it has been established for less than 20 years, it is famous in the imperial capital, and I heard that there are several kinds of fine wines in it, each of which tastes very good. Looking at the magnificent restaurant, Liu Yu couldn't help licking his lips, an idle gentleman like him didn't like this kind of elegant place, but he heard that Wangjianglou had a lot of good wine, and it was a first-class wine.

"If you have a few drinks tonight, I'll beat you up a few times. Liu Qiaoer's eyes were slightly picky, so that the former suddenly stumbled and almost fell.

"Sister, who doesn't know how to drink when you come to the restaurant!" Facing his sister's dictatorship, Liu Yu couldn't help but look at Liu Yang and said, "Cousin, are you right?"

"Cousin, I don't think you're really fit to drink that much. Facing Liu Qiao'er's sharp eyes, how dare Liu Yang say good things to this little fat man, he didn't want to let this cousin also find a chance to clean up his house. After all, you can't beat them yet.

"Qiao'er, you too, since you're here, it's okay to let him have a few drinks later. Zhang Yaqiao smiled and continued: "I may not be in this Wangjiang Tower for a long time, I heard that a new wine has recently come out, and it has even attracted the attention of the royal family. Taking advantage of Zhou Xin's party tonight, she will have to bleed profusely. ”

"Miss Zhang and Miss Qiao'er haven't seen each other for a long time, and the two have become more beautiful and moving. Suddenly, a voice rang out.

When everyone followed the prestige, they saw an extremely handsome man leading several guards slowly. He looked a little special, with a kind smile on his face, and there was no jade ornament on his body that showed his wealth, and he looked very elegant.

"Zheng Wushuang!"

Zhang Ya didn't speak, but Liu Qiao'er next to her took the lead. She took a step forward and said in a coquettish voice: "I had a draw last time, so I might as well take advantage of tonight to ask you for advice!"

Hearing this, the elegant man's expression was a little stiff. He smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Qiaoer, tonight is a gathering of poetry and wine, and it is not good to use your hands and feet." ”

For Liu Qiaoer, he also has a headache. Although he is a woman, he will not lose to himself in his cultivation, even if he wins the competition, he will not be happy, on the contrary, if he loses to a woman, he will have to lose his reputation as a demonic cultivator.
