Chapter Ninety-Five: If you don't have a face, you won't be given face
Where there is excitement, there will be people who watch the excitement, and after the news is released, Piaoxianglou will also be lively.
Many people came in droves, half of them came to join in the fun, and half of them gambled on Bent at Fu Kee Gambling House to cheer on the drums.
It's just that Xu Qian is sitting in the private seat on the second floor of Piaoxiang Building, and the spectators can only listen to the news downstairs or in the cubicle.
Xie Zhao and these people have not yet arrived, at this time the hall is already boiling, many people can't help but whisper, some people say that Xie Zhao and others may not be willing to come, and some people say that Xu Qian has been too strong recently, which makes these people jealous.
All kinds of remarks were varied, and after half an hour, someone suddenly shouted: "Come, come, look, the one who started is Yang Tongzhi's Yang Gongzi, Yang Gongzi is the second in the college exam this time, and the level is not below Xu Qian, but I don't know why, it actually made Xu Qian the first." Yes, there is also Xie Zhao Xie Gongzi, the Xie family is a real relative, the hereditary Marquis of Yasukuo, he was born in Beijing, but he was sent to the old house in Hangzhou to study since he was a child, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not trivial. ”
"There is also Su Tong Su Gongzi, Su Gongzi is the most witty, although he can't make a poem in seven steps, but the poetry has always been the best in Hangzhou. Even Mr. Zhang Tang and Mr. Zhang also came, Mr. Zhang devoted himself to the way of calligraphy, and his calligraphy is subtle and does not lose the childish spirit, which can also be called a ......"
In everyone's eyes, Yang Tongzhi took the lead, Xie Zhao and the others followed, and they were alarmed, and regardless of their level, they only said that except for the soup, the rest of the people were young people from Hangzhou, and they rarely got together, but today is good, and they are all here.
"That Xu Qian is really arrogant, if he only offends one of them or two of them, he will challenge six people."
"Since Xu Qian dares to challenge, maybe he really has a chance of winning."
Someone sneered: "There is a ghost to win, but it's just grandstanding, I have pressed seven taels of silver to bet on Yang Gongzi and others to win, let's see." ”
Yang Tongzhi and the others didn't pay attention to these gossips, and walked up to the second floor of the Piaoxiang Building in a chic manner, and Xiao Er led them to Xu Qian's private seat, and the door of this elegant seat was not closed, which just gave those visitors the convenience of getting a glimpse.
The six of them walked into the private seat, Xu Qian stood up, just smiled faintly at them, and said, "Please take a seat." ”
Xu Qian was too lazy to have too many greetings with them, and then said, "Please report to your home." ”
This kind of indifferent attitude not only made the spectators feel that Xu Qian was crazy and chic enough, but also made several of the six people sneer.
Yang Tongzhi shook the paper fan in his hand and said with a slight smile: "The contemptible Yang Tongzhi has a relationship with Xu Gongzi, so he won't report himself." ”
Na Su Tong said angrily: "Contemptible Su Tong, I thought I would meet Xu Gongzi for a while, it is better to meet than to be famous, Xu Gongzi is really crazy." ”
Xu Qian nodded and smiled at Yang Tong's jaw, which was considered to give him a little face, but to Su Tong, he didn't even look at it? Mad? Madness is also forced out by you, you don't give others face and expect others to give you face? Do you think this is in your Su family, you are used to being expensive, and all your subordinates have to act according to your eyes?
In the end, Xie Zhao also reported home, and said calmly: "Contemptible Xie Zhao......"
When he called himself Xie Zhao, Hongxiu, who was standing behind Xu Qian and pretending to be a maidservant, couldn't help but look at him, and soon, she showed a deep look of disappointment.
In the palace, Xie Zhao's reputation is excellent, some people say that he is handsome and chic, some people say that he is very beautiful, but in reality, Xie Zhao's figure is quite tall, but his appearance is mediocre, and he has nothing to do with that handsome and chic, and the most eye-catching thing is the top of his head - Xie Zhao is a bald man.
Not to mention that bustards love money, sisters love pretty, even the princess who is high above is also a person, there are always people in this world who think that most women admire the talent of men, not counting the appearance, in fact, this is just the dream of most people, the princess is also a person, this age is just a girl's feelings, and the heart naturally hopes that there will be a prince charming-like character, and this Xie Zhao is really too far away from all women's dream lovers.
Hongxiu's face was ugly, Xu Qian was also a little surprised when he heard that Xie Zhao reported his home, he thought that the future would-be horse was not handsome, at least his appearance was passable, so he secretly looked at Hongxiu's face, wanting to see if Hongxiu was satisfied, and glanced at it inadvertently, and the look full of disappointment was under Xu Qian's eyes.
Xu Qian smiled bitterly in his heart: "I came all the way to show the princess the future concubine, but now I am such a crooked melon and cracked date, if it were me, I am afraid that I also want to die." But...... I think it's really uncomfortable to be the princess Yongchun, who has a good youth to entrust to such a man, and I see him every day, but I'm afraid that life will be difficult. ”
Xie Zhao didn't expect that behind Xu Qian's provocation, there were still people secretly looking at him, but his face was calm.
It's just that Su Tong saw Xu Qian silent for a while, and sneered: "I salute you before I call you Xu Gongzi, but you can't afford the word "Gongzi" after this cheap servitude, and this Gongzi came all the way to ......."
Xu Qian came back to his senses, his eyes fell on this Su Tong, and he smiled slightly: "You are the son of Su Tong?" I've heard your name a long time ago, and it is said that you can become a poem in seven steps, right? ”
Su Tong said proudly: "What, are you not convinced?" ”
Xu Qian sneered: "What kind of thing are you, and you are worthy of me to serve you?" When a man is alive, the most important thing is fame, he can't even do well in Jingyi articles, he is idle all day long, and he makes some crooked and sour poems for his own amusement, doesn't Su Gongzi think it's ridiculous? Su Gongzi's article on the government examination last year, I also read it, and the topic is that the heart also makes no praise. Your solution is to litigate and seek more, and if you want more, you will seek both. Ha ha...... It's really ridiculous, but I don't know how much effort your Su family used to reluctantly let you get a student, the words don't make sense, ridiculous! ”
Xu Qian suddenly poked Su Tong's sore foot, and Su Tong said angrily: "You...... You ......"
He even said two words of you, but although Xu Qian laughed and scolded, he couldn't argue with every word, this world is really good when the article is done well, and the poetry is just a small way.
Xu Qian interrupted him coldly: "If it is Xu someone to solve the problem, ......" Xu Qian just shook his head, and immediately had a draft, and then blurted out: "There are those who do not wait to listen and obey themselves, and those who are in power really make it so." As for your problem-solving, I advise you to study at home honestly, and don't come out to take the exam and be ashamed. You can have today, it is nothing more than relying on your Su family to be rich, but you must know that you are rich for only three generations, and you can't shadow your great-grandchildren. ”
After a few words and scolding, every word was ripping Su Tong's heart, Su Tong felt like his heart was being cut open, and he saw that his heart was dripping blood. He was extremely angry and clenched his fists, but Xu Qian's Jingyi was indeed a few grades higher than him, and if you want to scold back, you also need to have some skills.
And the spectators outside the door suddenly burst into applause, many of the spectators are readers, and they may not have merit and fame to make any good articles, but the level of appreciation is there, but seeing that Xu Qian's blurted out the problems are many times better than Su Tong's articles, he naturally sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmph, Su Gongzi is an idle person, he refuses to write boring articles, he entertains himself with poetry, you are so humiliated, it is too much." This time he spoke, surnamed Wen Mingtao, Wen Tao is very famous in Renhe County, he is a popular figure in the Renhe County Township Test, and he has a deep attainment in the Bagu article.
Xu Qian's eyes flickered, fell on Wen Tao's body, smiled slightly, and said, "You are Wen Tao?" I've also heard of your name early, and the Bagu article I heard is doing well, good, very good, it's just ......" Xu Qian sneered: "It's just that in my eyes, it's still not worth mentioning, I am the county test, the government test, and the hospital test. ”
Wen Tao said angrily: "But not necessarily." ”
Xu Qian laughed and said, "The duck has a hard mouth, so why bother yourself." I remember you wrote a poem, and it looked like ......."
