Chapter 150: Show off
"Actually, it's fine." Du Bai is not lying, she is just an ordinary level, not fast or slow, but he has an external body, so he is very fast.
"You could just write in this direction, and the lines should be ......"
He patiently respoke it for her, and Miss Yuening also listened carefully, for fear of missing a single detail.
At this moment, the performance of the painting boat in the distance seemed to have come to an end, and many people were already walking back, and many noisy voices poured into this originally quiet environment again, making the sound of the lecture no longer pure.
"That's all for today."
Du Bai stopped lecturing.
"Okay."
With some disappointment in his heart, Yue Ningxian wiped his hand on the chessboard, a faint light flashed, and all the paper, pen and ink on it disappeared, leaving only an endgame chessboard.
"Childe, why don't you play another game of chess?"
She opened her mouth to invite, but Du Bai waved her hand and didn't look at the chessboard, "Forget it, it's not early, it's better to go back early, the lady at home is still waiting for me." ”
Yue Ning's fingers fiddling with the chess pieces trembled slightly, and her eyes stared at him with a little complicated eyes, and she slowly withdrew her gaze, and sighed softly, "Since that's the case......"
But before she could finish speaking, she heard a somewhat surprised man shouting from a distance: "Brother Du? Is it Brother Du? ”
Du Bai looked up at the visitor with some confusion, but saw four young scholars looking at him under the embankment tree not far away, with a little surprise and some strange colors in their eyes.
"Is it a friend of Childe?" Yue Ning followed his line of sight, frowned slightly when she saw the appearance of those people, then stretched out, and turned to ask him with some curiosity.
"It should ...... It used to be. ”
Du Bai vaguely guessed the identities of these people, but he was still unsure, but his brows were also furrowed, and he looked like a guy in trouble.
He originally wanted to walk away as if he didn't hear it, but he didn't expect these guys to walk slowly, especially the first one of them trotted over, which just broke his mind of wanting to run.
"Sure enough, it's Brother Du! I didn't expect to be so coincidental to meet you here! “
The scholar looked a little happy, as if he had really met a confidant and friend.
Although, at the moment, several people are not very familiar with each other at all.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Du Bai smiled, but sighed in his heart, I am afraid that it will be delayed for some time.
"I still have some urgent matters at home, I'm afraid I can't talk for a long time." He wanted to leave.
However, he was stopped.
"Hey, Brother Du, we've only seen this for a long time, why are we in such a hurry to leave?" Another person persuaded, "I heard that you have joined the Su family, you must be angry when you go back, you might as well chat with me outside, how can a manly man be afraid of the inside?" ”
"If Madame asks, she will say that she writes poems and lyrics with me and other scholars, and she will definitely understand you."
In their minds, even if they are rich, they must be angry everywhere at home, and they are not happy.
Who would have guessed Du Bai's real situation?
At this time, someone finally noticed the veiled girl Yuening on the side, and when she saw a pair of clear eyes, she seemed to feel a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, but suddenly asked Du Bai narrowly, "Oh, Brother Du, you are accompanied by a beauty, so you don't want me to bother?" ”
"We're just friends, don't slander the innocence of other girls." Du Bai frowned.
"That's offended."
The man smiled, but there was a bit of disdain and jealousy in his eyes.
At this kind of night, lonely men and widows have a private meeting in such a quiet place, who believes that they are friends? It's just that I didn't expect this Du Baiyan to be blessed, even if he is rich, he will be accompanied by a beauty. After all, just by looking at those eyes, you can also see that her appearance should not be bad.
This blessing made them a little dissatisfied.
They are also scholars and talented people who have read poetry and books, what is not as good as this Du Bai who is willing to eat soft rice in terms of talent and appearance? Even if they go to the painting boat, they are also blinded by others, and there is naturally a little inexplicable resentment in their hearts.
When thinking like this, one of them pretended to be regretful and said, "Brother Du, although you are now in the Su family and can no longer enter the examination room, you should not degenerate yourself. It's a pity that you didn't come to yesterday's poetry party! There are many talented people who have participated in the poetry meeting, and good sentences are frequently published, which is a great event for readers such as us! ”
"There are also a few sons, in order to celebrate the poetry meeting, they specially spent a large sum of silver to invite the people who passed the painting boat, and invited the Oiran to appear to help the fun, but it's a pity that Brother Du, you are not so blessed to see the Oiran side."
In their minds, the Oiran is a daughter who rarely asks to meet, and Du Bai is a wealthy person, so it is naturally even more difficult to meet. So at this time, I had some intention of showing off, and deliberately exaggerated.
The scholar seemed to have memories, and praised "The Oiran has a moon-like appearance and a slender figure, and it really deserves to be the Oiran here." I've seen a lot of women, but I've never seen such a stunning woman! It's a pity that even if we are like that, we can only look at it from a distance, and we can't see it up close. ”
"Oiran?"
When the other party sighed, Du Bai subconsciously looked back at the girl behind him, only to see her eyebrows and eyes smiling, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I was indeed invited to participate in a poetry meeting last night, and it was probably just a boring poetry meeting for literati, and it was not interesting, so I didn't take it to heart." Speaking of which, I have seen these people there, but I am not very impressed. ”
Du Bai nodded, and when he looked back at the guy who was still bragging, there was something strange in his eyes.
"If this guy knew that the woman standing in front of him at the moment was the Oiran he had been thinking about, and his boastful talk at the moment fell in the ears of the other party, I don't know what expression he would make......"
It's a little funny when I think about it.
"By the way, I wrote a poem for that Oiran last night, listen to it......"
Saying that, the other party shook his head and read a few lines of poetry, which did sound a little charming, but it was not enough to say how eye-catching it was, but even if it was just such a sentence, it was enough to be praised in this kind of small circle.
After all, it is not a big place like Fucheng, and the level may not be very good.
"Brother Du, what do you think?"
The man seemed to be showing off, and smiled slightly, "This poem was obtained by accident last night, and I think it is good, can you evaluate it?" ”
His poem was considered to be at the upper middle level last night, and now he deliberately wants to show off in front of Du Bai, purely wanting to listen to some praise, and by the way, show his talent in front of that beauty, and he should also get a little sideways.
"Hmm...... It's okay. ”
It's just that Du Bai's random answer made him not very satisfied, and he immediately frowned.
What do you mean by okay? Even this poem is just okay, does this Du Bai really think that he is a great talent?
He was naturally a little unconvinced, and looked at Du Bai, "The poems below were appreciated by many literati last night, so I think it should be more than okay......"
