Chapter 143: The First Talented Woman of the Ages
Just when the audience fell into some kind of strange silence, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the inn, and then I saw Freezing Dots running in from outside with a grin.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu, Song Kai and Jiang Siyu, Freezing couldn't help waving his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Yao, are you already eating?"
"Yes, what about you, have you eaten?" The corners of his lips curled slightly, and Yao Ruoyu's face regained a smile, completely losing the prestige that had just overwhelmed the entire inn, "If you haven't eaten, come over together, Xiao Er, add a pair of chopsticks." ”
"Okay, I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving. Freezing didn't notice the weird atmosphere in the inn, ran over with a smile, and sat next to Song Kai.
The four of them ate and drank for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table, and said coquettishly: "I said, why don't you ask me if I got an invitation?"
Song Kai tilted her head silently, and Yao Ruoyu laughed: "Anyway, if I don't ask you, you will say it too?"
"What! It's excessive!" pouted, Bing Dian took out four fiery red bronzing invitations from his sleeves, and smiled proudly, "Look! This is someone got it, exactly four copies, we can go over to participate in the poetry competition together tomorrow." ”
For some martial arts idiots, King Wu Yue's natal sword Zhanhu is undoubtedly the most important, but in the minds of most people, the poetry meeting of the first beauty in Jiangnan can almost stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhanhu.
So when they heard what Freezing Dian said, everyone in the inn couldn't help but relax, since Yao Ruoyu and the others came for the poetry competition, then the target should not be Zhanhu.
Of course, there are also a few people whose eyes flickered, worried that Yao Ruoyu and the others were not only for the poetry competition, but also for Zhanhu, if that was the case, a powerhouse of the Five Realms who was enough to fight with the city lord could be said to be the most top-notch figure among the contenders.
That night, most of the people in the Qinglong Inn didn't sleep well, all of them were shocked by Yao Ruoyu's kendo killing intent, but Yao Ruoyu and the others slept very comfortably, and they didn't wake up one by one until the next day.
By the time Yao Ruoyu, Song Kai, Jiang Siyu, and Freezing Diandian all got up and freshened up, it was already time.
After knowing the time, the freezing point suddenly jumped his feet in a hurry, because the time of the poetry competition was noon, and it was two o'clock at the moment, and it was only half an hour before the poetry competition began.
However, Yao Ruoyu was not in a hurry at all, he knew the location of Nanhu, and the distance from the Qinglong Inn was very close, even if he walked over, it would only take about half a moment, so there was no need to be in a hurry.
It's just that they couldn't resist Freezing Point's urging, Yao Ruoyu and the others still had breakfast quickly, and then they were dragged into the carriage by Freezing Point and rushed towards Nanhu.
Because of the relationship between the Zhanhu Sword and the Poetry Competition, the entire Nanhu Lake is now crowded with people, almost all of them are literati and warriors, the former is here to participate in the Poetry Competition, and the latter is to compete for the Zhanhu Sword.
Therefore, the carriage of Yao Ruoyu and others only took a cup of tea, and they found that they could no longer move forward, because the road ahead was already overcrowded, and countless carriages were blocked on the road, forcing those literati who were riding in the car to get off the car and walk, go to the dock and take a boat to Yanyulou.
Yao Ruoyu originally wanted to sacrifice the altar and bring people over directly, but after thinking about it, in order to hide his identity, it would be better to be an ordinary person with peace of mind, so he called Bingdiandian and others, got off the carriage directly, and walked towards the dock.
The four of them walked for a while and came to the pier by the South Lake.
Although there were a lot of literati and scholars who came this time, most of them didn't have invitations, but they just came to have a good time, and by the way, they thought about whether they could fish in troubled waters and blend into the smoke and rain building.
It's a pity that the city lord of Jiaxing has already been prepared, and has ordered the officers and soldiers to take over the wharf, and only those with invitations can board the ship and enter the island, and no one else is allowed to board the ship.
Therefore, after Yao Ruoyu and the four of them showed the invitation, they boarded the passenger ship on the shore under the arrangement of the officers and soldiers, and at the same time, sixteen men and women of different ages boarded the passenger ship, and they were accompanied by literati and scholars who also held the invitation.
Because they didn't know anyone, Yao Ruoyu and the four of them occupied a window seat and sat down, and the others were similar, and according to the situation they knew, they spontaneously formed a small group.
However, in this group of people, there was a slender young scholar who was sitting alone at the window, looking at the scenery outside the window with great interest, and it seemed that it was the first time he came to Jiangnan, so he was very interested in the scenery of Nanhu.
If the scenery is beautiful, the South Lake of this era is naturally not as good as the modern one, but the South Lake of this era is better than that unique cultural atmosphere, in this era, Jiaxing under the unique quiet atmosphere, the South Lake also has a quiet and elegant atmosphere like a literati.
Therefore, all the people in the cabin were happily reciting poems there, and from time to time a few poems appeared, and then there was a burst of applause, but I did not know how much of the praise was true and how much was false.
As for Yao Ruoyu and the four of them, except for Yao Ruoyu, who likes poetry, the other three don't know anything, so only Yao Ruoyu writes poetry there alone, and the other three people are boring and chatting about everything.
"Song Kai, do you say that the Zhanhu Sword is real or fake?" Grabbing Song Kai's sleeve, he said indignantly, "I think it's absolutely fake, how can it be so coincidental, Aunt Chen is just going to hold a poetry competition here, and so many people have come, they must all come for Aunt Chen's beauty, men, they are all creatures who look at their appearance." ”
Yao Ruoyu almost didn't laugh when he heard this, and said, "Dot, your theory is very current, who taught you?"
"My mother!" He said that men look at women based on their appearance, and few people look at the inside," Freezing pouted and asked, "Song Kai, you said that you will look for a wife in the future, do you look at the appearance or the inside?"
If it weren't for Song Kai's poker face, he would have almost rolled his eyes at this moment, his criteria for finding a wife in the future don't seem to have anything to do with Freezing Point, why does this girl speak like a wife questioning her husband.
Sure enough, it was three days without fighting, and she went to the house to uncover the tiles, but she was not so cold to her for a few days, and she had already climbed the pole to show such a posture, if she really had a better attitude towards her one day, maybe this girl would do something.
Just when Song Kai was angry, Yao Ruoyu and Jiang Siyu were snickering, the passenger boat finally arrived at the island in the lake, Yao Ruoyu was sitting by the window, and the outline of the Yanyu Building could be faintly seen.
There were already many officers and soldiers on the shore to maintain order there, and after everyone got off the boat, they were led by the officers and soldiers to the destination of this time, Yanyulou.
At this time, there have been many guests arrived, they are gathering together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, reciting a few lines of poetry from time to time, and the building and outside all exude a bit of elegant atmosphere.
"Have you heard? The No. 1 beauty in Jiangnan is already in Yanyu Building. ”
"Oh, where, where?"
"Haha, Brother Qi, don't be in a hurry! That beauty is on the roof of the Yanyu Building, waiting for the poetry meeting to start, and she will come down. ”
"Alas, don't laugh at me, brother, I heard the name of the first beauty in Jiangnan for a long time, but I haven't been able to see her true face, since I have this opportunity today, I naturally hope to see it sooner. ”
"But speaking of which, is that really so beautiful, and deserves so many people to come for her?"
"Hey, I guess Your Excellency hasn't seen the true face of that person, right? Xiaosheng was fortunate to see it, since then, Xiaosheng has become lovesick, his wife at home, and the red card of the Qinglou are as boring as white bones in my eyes, only the dreamlike face is still in my mind, and I can't ......forget it for a long time."
After walking into the Yanyu Building for a while, Yao Ruoyu found that although everyone around him was talking about poetry, it was more about the first beauty in Jiangnan, Aunt Chen in Freezing Point.
To be honest, Yao Ruoyu has not seen beautiful women in later generations, especially the endless stars in later generations, which can be seen almost everywhere on TV and the Internet.
But at this moment, hearing the almost fanatical and pious talk around him, Yao Ruoyu faintly looked forward to it, thinking that the number one beauty in Jiangnan could really be so beautiful that so many people were obsessed with it.
Because Song Kai and the others were looking forward to the appearance of the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, they had no interest in chanting poetry, so the three of them looked for a place to sit after strolling for a while, and Yao Ruoyu wandered alone, and soon came to the garden behind the Yanyu Building.
There is also a group of literati talking and laughing here, Yao Ruoyu walked a few steps in the garden, and suddenly saw more than a dozen literati surrounded by a man wearing a fancy costume and a goose yellow hat.
Yao Ruoyu glanced at it a few times, and found that the group of people had a lot of flattery for this man, and he was secretly curious, speculating about the identity of that person.
"That is Huang Xiucai, the president of Jiaxing Xiuzhou Poetry Society, who is talented, good at pairing, and is known as [Jiangdong to the king]. ”
Just when Yao Ruoyu was secretly thinking about it, a beautiful and graceful female voice suddenly came from her side, which sounded gentle and elegant, but in fact, it revealed a bit of indescribable condensation, so that Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but turn her head and follow the voice to the young woman who walked to her side at some point.
This woman should only be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a melon seed face, beautiful facial features, elegant eyes, and a slightly wide white robe on her body, which is also a little white because of frequent washing, but such a simple and old robe, but the woman's elegant and refined, Jiangnan woman's unique softness and gentleness are perfectly displayed.
To be honest, Yao Ruoyu, who was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, has almost no resistance to this kind of woman, but after all, thinking of Xu Xuanrong, he still quickly gathered his mind.
When the woman saw Yao Ruoyu turn her head, she smiled and said, "Seeing that the son was staring at President Huang, I thought that most of them were guessing his identity, and it was the little woman who dared to introduce one or two." ”
Yao Ruoyu smiled dumbly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Huang Xiucai? ”
The woman smiled implicitly and explained: "His father participated in the imperial examination many times before his death, but unfortunately he has not been able to reach high school, so after the birth of his son, he deliberately named Xiucai ......."
"Do you want your son to win at the starting line?" Yao Ruoyu understood, and smiled unconsciously.
"Win at the starting line?" the woman frowned slightly, as if she was muttering the meaning of this sentence, and after a moment, she smiled, "The words are unique, rarely heard, and the child's speech is also interesting." ”
Yao Ruoyu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you girl for your guidance just now, you still don't know the girl's name?"
The woman leaned slightly sideways to let Yao Ruoyu make a gesture, and chuckled: "The son is polite, the little girl's surname is Li, and her name is Qingzhao." ”
