Chapter 18 Over the Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

Fei Hung Pavilion, on the banks of the Shuangxi River, is full of people and lively.

The literati and scholars of Dayou, the boys and girls in the museum come and go, their clothes fluttering; The sound of the piano is lingering, and the aroma of wine is bursting.

……

……

When the porter informed Pei Sangongzi that he had arrived, everyone looked in the same direction in surprise.

As everyone knows, Pei Sangongzi's Xunyan Building, in addition to doing some merchant business, the most important thing is to do some work to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

Well, it's not a killer organization, it's a murder search organization.

Pei Sangongzi is good at finding murderers and solving cases, he can dissect corpses with one hand, and treat diseases and save people with the other.

No matter how complicated the case is, as long as it is handed over to Xunyanlou, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

Therefore, if the government officials encounter a bizarre case and really have no choice, they will always quietly find Pei Sangongzi and ask him to take action.

The world still knows that Pei Sangongzi hates one thing most in his life: it is to chant poetry against and be elegant.

He has always refused to participate in a conference like Qu Shui Liuzhen, which is mainly composed of poetry, but today he suddenly came here......

Everyone thought to themselves: It can't be that there is some bizarre murder case here, right?

Thinking like this, most of their mood of chanting poems against each other suddenly disappeared, and they looked at Pei Sangongzi with a little horror one by one.

It was Su Yanwu who presided over the Qushui Liuyu meeting, and when she saw everyone's reaction, she hurriedly smiled: "You don't have to be nervous, Pei Sangongzi is just here to participate in the Qushui Liuzhen meeting today, everyone can rest assured." ”

She said to Pei Sangongzi again: "Feihong Pavilion is fortunate to invite Pei Sangongzi to be present this year, it is really rare, Pei Sangongzi, please here." ”

Pei Ji'an's face was as usual, and he found a place to sit down in the direction pointed out by Su Yanwu.

Everyone relaxed and continued to talk and laugh.

Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Su Yanwu walked to the arch bridge in the middle of the stream, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that everyone has heard of the conventions of the Qushui Liuzhen Society, in order to avoid anyone not knowing, Yanwu hereby informs: Qushui Liuqing Meeting, whoever stops in front of the wine glass will perform a show."

She smiled: "This alone is indeed a bit tough, but - the music is flowing, there is no limit to talent, no limit to musical instruments, your performance is wonderful enough, you may be the first; Your performance is unpopular enough, and you may also be number one. At the same time, each person is limited to one first, so the first is actually very easy to take. ”

She waved her hand, and more than a dozen little girls under the bridge walked up with trays in both hands, and Su Yanwu continued: "Feihong Pavilion has prepared rich rewards for all the first......

Everyone stretched their necks to look at the bridge, only to see that in the tray of more than a dozen girls, some were ghost balls half-carved by Ghost Hand Lu, some were extinct heart-turning bottles, and there were several treasures such as lyres and ruyi mirrors, each of which was enough to make people covet.

However, everyone's hearts did not put on these treasures, but looked at the calligraphy and painting held up by the maid on the other side, and someone asked: "Miss Su, I don't know whose masterpiece is the calligraphy and painting over there?" ”

Su Yanwu smiled and took the painting in the hand of a maid: "This is painted by the head of the Feihong Pavilion, and the painting is the grand occasion of today's Qushui Liuzhen. ”

She took the words in the hand of another maid: "This is the "Sungai Collection Preface" written by the deputy lecturer of the Feihong Pavilion, and the poems written by you today will be compiled into a book by the Feihong Pavilion, which is called "Sungai Collection". ”

When everyone heard this, they were excited, just waiting for the conference to start, show their skills, and win calligraphy and paintings.

According to the regulations of the Qushui Liuzhen Society, to take the first place in the Qushui Liuzhen Conference, it is indeed as Su Yanwu said, in fact, it is not difficult, pick an unpopular instrument to play, if no one also uses this instrument, then the first is the bag.

But it is a bit difficult to take the first place in the Qushui Liuyu meeting by composing poetry.

Because every literati is proud of the goodness of his poems.

In addition, the poems written today can still be compiled into a book, in the name of the Feihongkan, plus the popularity of the Qushui Liuyu Society, this booklet is absolutely a big seller in Kyoto, and then his poems will be able to be passed down through the ages!

Therefore, most of the poems are composed of poems in the annual Qushui Liuyu meeting.

……

By this time the mountain chief had already put the wine glass into the stream.

Along the way, several scholars have written several poems, which have won a round of applause from everyone!

The wine glass swayed and stopped in front of a handsome teenage girl, who was unknown to most of the people present.

Although everyone can participate in the Qushui Liuyu Meeting, they are all teenagers and girls over fifteen or sixteen years old, literati and scholars, but it is rare to see such a young person among them.

Everyone looked at her curiously, wanting to see what kind of show she was going to perform, wouldn't it also be poetry?

What good poems can you write at such a young age?

Xia Yuanxi's face was calm, not in a hurry, she picked up a Tao Xun from her side, and smiled at everyone: "I know that poetry is shallow, so I can't help but compete with you for the first place in poetry, and the program I performed is: Tao Xun." ”

She put Xun to her mouth and slowly blew the song "Vain Eyebrows", Tao Xun's low voice was like crying and complaining, lingering grievances, and it made everyone goosebumps.

After she finished the song, she asked everyone with a smile: "I don't think everyone should have competed with me about Tao Xun, right?" ”

Everyone saw that she was smiling brightly, and Fang Cai's performance was indeed ingenious, which could be described as unpopular, and they all shook their heads and smiled: "Little girl, it seems that you are going to get the first place in today's Qu Shui Liuzhen." ”

Seeing this, Su Yanwu asked loudly: "Since no one performs Blowing Tao Xun again, then this little girl can choose a prize as a reward." ”

Xia Yuanxi bent towards everyone, walked to the bridge, and took the heart-turning bottle without thinking.

Everyone was puzzled: "Little girl, the first reward is rich, why did you just take a fancy to this heart-turning bottle?" ”

Xia Yuanxi smiled proudly: "Because, in addition to calligraphy and painting, this bottle is the most valuable!" ”

Su Yanwu was also puzzled and asked, "Then why don't you take calligraphy and painting?" ”

"Because, the calligraphy and paintings of the mountain chief and the deputy speaker, I don't dare to sell them even if I take them."

Everyone: Feelings: This little girl is going to sell the prize when she takes it?

……

……

Huaiyu, who said that he wanted to find a place to hide, was pulled by Shuangyan to the top of Liantao Tower at this moment, and just happened to see the scene of Xia Yuanxi taking the first place by the stream.

"Sister Xia is amazing!" Shuangyan couldn't help but admire.

Huaiyu nodded.

"You say, is Sister Xia really going to sell the heart bottle?"

Huaiyu nodded: "Yes, the powerful mother in her family, if she doesn't come to her for money, she won't be able to live for a day." ”

Huaiyu got angry when she thought of this, she didn't understand how there could be such a mother, she couldn't dote on her son, but she was so vicious to her daughter.

After Xia Li was put on the official road that day, Xia Li didn't know what to say to her family, Aunt Xia always had to run to the school hall to ask for money for three days, saying that Yuan Xi now has no worries about food and clothing in the school, and there is money for anointing, and she is much better than at home, and she wants to subsidize her family.

Xia Yuanxi was afraid that she would make trouble directly in the academy, so he gave her the silver taels on her body every time, and sent her away with kind words.

Every time Huaiyu and Shuangyan stomped their feet in anger, Xia Yuanxi always fainted: "What can be done?" After all, that's my own mother. ”
