State Pastoral Mansion, Back Hall.

The moonlight is bright, and the soft light sprinkles in the hall, which adds a little artistic conception.

Liu Biao held a family banquet and invited Liu Xiu.

In the past family banquets, only Liu Biao, Cai's Liu Qi, Liu Cong, and Liu Biao's nephew Zhang Yun, and the rest of the family never notified Liu Xiu to participate. Today, Liu Xiu is the Taishou of Yuzhang County, in charge of Youxian County, and is regarded as the core member of the family.

In addition, Liu Xiu is famous and is already quite famous.

In such a situation, no matter what, Liu Xiu had to participate, and he was even more important than Liu Qi and Liu Cong.

Liu Biao is the head of the family, sitting on the main seat, and Cai is sitting next to Liu Biao.

Liu Qi is the eldest son and sits in the first position on the left, and Liu Cong is the second son and sits in the first position on the right. Liu Xiu, Zhang Yun and others, one left and one right, sat down in turn.

The people of the Liu family gathered together.

As the head of the family, Liu Biao first picked up the wine bottle and said: "Today's family banquet, one is to celebrate Xiu'er's safe return from Xu County, the second is that Xiu'er is about to go to Youxian County to practice, and the third is to celebrate the prosperity of the family. ”

After that, Liu Biao picked up the wine bottle, raised his head and drank it all.

The rest of the crowd drank one after another.

Liu Qi looked at Liu Xiu with a faint smile on his face, thoughtful.

Liu Cong glanced at Liu Xiu, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but it was well hidden.

Liu Biao's recent days have been very beautiful, and he has lived a very happy life. Liu Xiu's deeds in Xu County were enough to make Liu Biao happy for a long time. Especially recently, some people have asked about Liu Xiu, and Liu Biao tirelessly told him, full of pride. Liu Biao's interest was so high that the banquet was quite lively.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the atmosphere is even higher.

Liu Cong bowed his hand to Liu Biao and said, "Father, my son's literary talent is not as good as that of the third brother, and I dare not show ugliness in front of the third brother." It's better to let the third brother write a poem to cheer up the family banquet. ”

Zhang Yun's eyes flashed, and he also echoed: "Uncle, there are too few poems, in Xu County, the ministers under the command of Xiu Gongzi Wen Dou Cao Thief, it can be seen that Xiu Gongzi is brilliantly written. In my opinion, at least two poems will do. ”

Liu Cong and Zhang Yun walked very closely.

Seeing Liu Cong speak, Zhang Yun immediately agreed, wanting to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's outstanding talent is well known, and now in front of Liu Biao, especially at the family banquet, Liu Xiu can't make satisfactory verses, and in Liu Biao's heart, Kong Hui is dissatisfied.

Liu Qi saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, but he never spoke.

However, Cai pursed his lips, a smile appeared on his face, and he was not to be left behind, and suggested: "Xiu'er, today's family banquet, it is rare for your father to be so happy. You can just make two poems to cheer up your father. ”

In the speech, the two poems are directly located.

Liu Xiu secretly scolded Cai's in his heart, do you think the poem is a cabbage, can you pick it up casually?

Liu Biao was in high spirits, and he didn't notice Cai's Liu Cong's thoughts, he looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Xiu'er, dare to give it a try?"

Liu Xiu replied: "The father has an order, and the son should obey it." ”

Liu Biao bowed slightly, and his eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

"Third brother, slow down!"

Suddenly, Liu Cong interrupted again.

Liu Xiu looked at Liu Cong, his eyes narrowed slightly, this Liu Cong is really annoying. But sometimes, Liu Xiu thinks Liu Cong is very cute, and it is precisely because of Liu Cong's constant provocation that Liu Xiu can continue to rise with opportunities.

To some extent, Liu Cong is Liu Xiu's stepping stone.

Liu Xiu said: "Does the second brother have anything to say? Could it be that the second brother also wants to write two poems." ”

Liu Biao became interested and said, "Cong'er, is this really the case?"

Liu Cong shuddered, his head shook like a rattle, and said, "In front of the third brother, my son doesn't dare to be ugly." In terms of talent, the third brother dumped me for ten miles and eight miles, and I couldn't catch up. The son interrupted because the son had an offer. ”

Liu Biao asked, "What proposal?"

Liu Cong smiled and said: "What my son thinks is that with the talent of the third brother, it may be easy to write poems directly, so it must be a little more difficult." ”

Liu Xiu immediately shouted: "Father, second brother is bullying me." At a critical time, Liu Xiu didn't mind being aggrieved, at this time, the crying child had milk to eat, and he wanted to win Liu Biao's support.

Liu Biao smiled and said, "Let's listen to what Cong'er has to say first." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a smile. With the foreshadowing just now, he also had an idea in his heart. Since Liu Cong wants to target him, he will not let Liu Cong have a good time.

Liu Cong said: "Father, since it is a family banquet, it is better to let the second brother write two poems, one related to his mother and the other related to his father." In this way, it can be regarded as the right time. ”

Two poems, different subjects.

It is more difficult to have to do with the father and the mother.

Liu Cong put forward such a condition, which immediately increased the difficulty of writing poems. As long as Liu Xiu can't write poems, it is Liu Xiu who will lose face in the end, and it has nothing to do with him.

After Liu Biao heard this, he applauded loudly.

This proposal is the most suitable for Liu Biao's appetite.

Liu Biao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Xiu'er, Cong'er's proposal is very good, what do you think?"

In his eyes, there was a strong sense of anticipation.

Liu Xiu observed his words and knew that this was impossible to refuse. Once refused, I am afraid that Liu Biao's heart will leave a big pimple.

On the other hand, this is another time to tout Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was happy, and many of Liu Xiu's things were much easier to operate.

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Father, my son thinks that the second brother's proposal is very good. However, the son has a request. ”

"What request?"

When Liu Biao heard that Liu Xiu agreed, he was already very happy.

Liu Xiudao: "In the past, the ministers under the command of Wendou Cao Thief in Xu County, at that time, Cao Cao specially asked an attendant to pour wine for his son. For today's family banquet, it is better to let the second brother pour wine for his son. ”

"Well, that's a good offer too. ”

Liu Biao didn't ask for Liu Cong's suggestion at all, and waved his hand and ordered: "Cong'er, whether your brother can make two poems depends on your level of pouring wine." ”

When Liu Cong heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

looked at Liu Xiu's eyes, revealing a trace of helplessness, and said in his heart, you are ruthless.

He looked at Liu Biao, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "In order for the third brother to make two good poems, it is incumbent on my son." Besides, I am the elder brother of the third brother, and it is only natural that I pour wine for the third brother. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he nodded in praise.

Liu Cong stood up, walked in front of Liu Xiu, and then squatted down and poured Liu Xiu full of wine. At this time, Liu Xiu stood up again and said, "Father, my son is prodigal after drinking, please be considerate of my father." ”

"It's okay!

Liu Biao is on the rise, his eyes are full of expectation.

"Wine!"

Liu Xiu waved his hand, stretched out his right hand, and didn't bend down to take the wine bottle on the table at all. Liu Cong secretly scolded Liu Xiu in his heart for not taking the wine himself, but in the face of Liu Biao and others, Liu Cong had to honestly pick up the wine bottle and hand it to Liu Xiu.

"Goo-dong!"

Liu Xiu took the wine, raised his head and drank it all.

He paced back and forth down the hall with his hands behind his back.

One-step!

Two steps!

......

After Liu Xiu walked back and forth for six steps, he still bowed his head and pondered, and had not yet made a poem. Liu Biao, Liu Qi, Liu Cong and Cai Shi and others were a little anxious. Liu Cong's heart was full of joy and joy, and he poured another glass of wine and said, "Third brother, drink another glass of wine." ”

Liu Xiu nodded slightly, took the wine, raised his head and drank it all.

"There it is!"

Suddenly, Liu Xiu spoke.

At this moment, Liu Biao's body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes showed a look of expectation.

Liu Cong's heart was messy, and he secretly scolded himself for being troublesome. He thought to himself, if he didn't hand the wine to Liu Xiu, maybe Liu Xiu still hadn't thought of the verses.

At this moment, Liu Cong couldn't wait to slap himself twice
