Chen Jiayao smiled and looked around, a long white dress, black hair like a waterfall, standing alone in the bow of the boat, quite a peerless beauty, especially her voice, soft and tactful, with a slight playful energy, made the eyes of the infatuated man and woman become very hot.

As soon as her words fell, echoing voices sounded around her, and before Liu Hao could speak, Wu Feng took the lead in speaking: "Jia Yao, it seems that there is still someone who has not shown up, you might as well wait a while, so as not to lose and be unconvinced." ”

Wu Feng's tone, with full mockery, caused the laughter of other families, originally he was not talking about me, but when he said this, the scene was out of control, swearing, slandering, complaining, and gritting his teeth, so he scolded me unreservedly.

Since I provoked a lot of people, now is the opportunity to fall into the ground, even if Liu Hao helps me speak, it still won't help.

It was also at this time that a long boat came to the lake again, and there were several figures sitting on it, all of them were gray-haired old men, and when everyone saw them, they became much more respectful, and their mocking words stopped, especially those poor and talented women, and bowed down to several old men.

These people, all the respected seniors, are university scholars in the provincial capital, because this banquet is particularly important, the head of the Chen family specially invited them to come over, can be a referee for this meeting, these old guys are very graceful and upright, as long as they are not used to seeing things, they will make some comments, in the past few years, the big family has been scolded all over again, and the big family does not dare to provoke.

"Peng Lao, he is actually the famous poet Peng Lao."

"There is also the pavilion master of the charm of the Accord, the idle cloud monk."

"That is Wei Danqing, who is known as Danqing's wonderful pen, known as calligraphy and poetry."

"I'm going, the three famous people in the provincial city are all here, and this banquet has suddenly risen to a higher level."

……

In the past few years, Chen Jiayao held banquets, but this time to choose a fiancé for her, she needs to find some notaries, the three famous families in the provincial capital, naturally suitable for this position, even if it is the Chen family, it also needs the Chen family to ask for it in person before they let them come.

Chen Jiayao bowed to the three famous masters and said: "The little daughter of the Chen family, Chen Jiayao, welcome Peng Lao, Xianyun Jushi and Danqing seniors. ”

As soon as Chen Jiayao's voice fell, others also paid tribute, you must know that in the provincial capital, the big family pays attention to the façade, and they are very respectful to the scholars with status, because they are too famous, as long as they publish a poem and scold a few words in secret, it is possible to make the family lose assets, and the big family has an attitude of not provoking and trying to give these people face.

The three famous artists, of course, are the highest qualifications of Peng Lao, he said: "Don't detain, I am entrusted by the head of the Chen family to preside over this literary meeting, here gathered young talents from the provincial capital, the future literary world, it depends on you!" ”

Chen Jiayao said with a smile: "Old Peng is polite, you are the leader of the literary world in the provincial city, and you have dominated the literary world for decades, and our juniors are so favored by you." ”

Peng Lao was in a good mood, chatted a few words, glanced around, and said directly: "It's almost time, then I announce that the Wenhui is ...... now."

"Wait!"

Before Peng Lao finished speaking, a voice sounded by the lake, interrupting his words, only to see a sound and shadow, running quickly from a distance, coming to the location of the lake, and beckoning to the center.

When Liu Hao saw it, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, drove the longboat over, picked up the figure by the lake on the boat, and then slowly drove towards the middle of the lake.

Seeing this, Elder Peng showed a displeased look on his face, and said angrily: "Which family's disciple, how dare you be so abrupt? ”

Hearing his words, Tian Zhijie sneered: "Old Peng, that guy is a hillbilly from Jiaocheng County, who doesn't know how to be polite, and has no respect for his elders, and has caused a lot of trouble in the provincial capital, maybe he will contradict you later." ”

"How dare he?" Peng Lao glared at the beard, turned his face sideways and said: "Scholars should have integrity, the old man is literate at the age of three, composes poems at the age of five, and publishes a "Qing Shui Fu" at the age of ten, shocking the literary world, after sixty and seven years, the backbone of the reader has never succumbed, I want to see, who dares to curse the old man?" ”

After Peng Lao finished speaking, the Xianyun monk next to him spoke up: "Hmph, if you don't know etiquette, how can you be called a scholar?" It's just a reckless man! ”

It was the other Wei Danqing, who frowned slightly, but did not speak.

……

Aboard!

Liu Hao looked at me and asked in surprise: "Brother Zhao, why did you come so late, the Wenhui is about to start!" ”

I said helplessly: "It's hard to say, but fortunately, I caught up!" ”

"Hey, you're in trouble now, if Chen Jiayao presides, you won't be treated by her at most, but this time it's the three famous artists in the literary world who host the literary meeting, if they don't like you, your plan to pursue Chen Jiayao will be completely ruined."

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, until now, the master still hasn't moved, seeing that the time is coming, I came over hard, and I can only rely on myself.

After a few simple conversations, I asked about the three famous artists, and I had some confidence in my heart, and it was a big deal to make up nonsense.

Come to the center.

I became the focus of the audience, the three famous families, the disciples of the major families and the poor talented women, all looked at me, because the three famous families were present, the others did not dare to speak, but Peng Lao snorted coldly: "The talents of the provincial city are gathered together, is it difficult to wait for you?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, I wanted to apologize, but this old guy took the lead in making trouble, which made me feel a little unhappy, but after all, he is a famous man in the provincial city and the leader of the literary world.

I held back my anger and apologized: "The kid knows that he is wrong, and I hope that Peng Lao will forgive me." ”

Peng Lao didn't pay attention to it anymore, glanced around, and shouted loudly: "The Wenhui has begun, and since there are many people this time, a preliminary examination will be held first, and the three of us will be screened separately." ”

When the words fell, the maid by the lake picked up the musical instrument and began to play the silk and bamboo movement, which was melodious and refreshing.

Peng Lao three, each selected two, let the two of them compose poems, the winner can pass the initial test, the loser is eliminated, because of the ruffians mixed in it, this method can be screened out, so that they don't get through the trick.

At this time, on the Tian family's boat, a echoing voice sounded: "Peng Lao is really powerful, this method is wonderful, some people want to get through the tricks, it seems that it can't be done, haha!" ”

When I heard this voice, it didn't look like Tian Zhijie and others, my eyes swept over, and stayed on Tian Zhicai, among the four people of the Tian family, only he was the least familiar to me, if I guessed correctly, he just said something mocking, I am afraid that he is alluding to me.

I'm not polite, Peng Laode is highly respected, I don't dare to mock out loud, but what is Tian Zhicai, if I am even afraid of him, I will not have the face to mix in the provincial capital.

I thought about it for a while, and said righteously: "It's not a loss to be the son of the Tian family, the tone of his speech is superior, we are poor, although we have no money and no power, but fortunately there is a blood, as the so-called background does not distinguish between high and low, how is the husband, how are the ruffians, can come here, that is by their own ability, it is much better than some bullying guys!" ”

My words were cleverly said, not only refuting Tian Zhicai, but also currying favor with those poor talents by the way, as well as some ruffians, I know the current position, I don't deal with the big family, only by uniting the poor and talented people, can I compete with the big family.

"Okay, Buyi can also be proud of the prince!"

"What a guy who doesn't distinguish between high and low, Wenhui is a guy who bullies people with his literary talents, so don't come out and be embarrassed!"

"The Tian family is amazing, huh? We have passed the appreciation of elegance and vulgarity, and we also rely on our ability, why do we say that we have passed the test in confusion? ”

……

I saw that the disaster was leading to the east, and Tian Zhi was angry enough, and he looked at me with a gloomy face, wishing that I would kill him.

I laughed in my heart, this fucking provincial city Tianjia was raised by a group of bitches, he mocked me first, and he didn't allow me to refute, if I refuted, I actually put on a victim face, and I was disgusted to look at.

Peng Lao didn't pay attention to it, but looked at me and said loudly: "You, the first to appear!" ”
