Sima Hui sat next to Pang Degong and said in a low voice: "Duke De, that kid's situation is a little bad." My father doesn't like it, my brother doesn't love it, and it's really embarrassing for him. ”

Pound said fairly: "Moral exercise, distinguish the occasion, don't talk nonsense." ”

Sima Hui nodded, and then said no more.

Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu, and then at Liu Biao, who was suspicious with a hint of disgust, and suddenly understood Liu Xiu's refusal to talk about the matchmaker that day. In Liu Xiu's situation, I am afraid that I can't make the decision when it comes to getting married.

"What kind of lotus poem will this kid make?"

Pang Degong was faintly worried in his heart, but he was full of expectation.

Liu Xiu sat at the end, close to the window, looking at the lotus flowers outside the window, Liu Xiu thought carefully. In front of the scribes of Jingzhou, the poems Liu Xiu chose must fit the scene.

Compared with the last time I came to Lianxianglou, the lotus flowers in Lianhu Lake have been competing to bloom.

Red, white, complement each other.

Pieces of lotus leaves, spread on the turquoise water of the lake, the scenery is pleasant.

After not seeing Liu Xiu open his mouth for a long time, Liu Cong suddenly interjected: "The third brother, Brother Kuai Jiache and Brother Cai Jiazhen appeared on the stage, all of them are talented and quick to write poems. You look out the window for a long time, but you still don't speak, and if you can't think of it, it's not a shame to admit your misfortune. ”

seems to be to break the siege, but in fact, it is secretly witty, with the intention of satirizing Liu Xiu.

Cai Mao took a sip of wine and said, "Master Xiu doesn't read much, so he really can't do it, and I don't think the princes here will be blamed." Xiu Gongzi, don't worry. ”

At this opening, everyone present heard the voice.

On the surface, it is a relief, but in fact it is aimed at.

If Liu Xiu really couldn't compose poetry, no one here would embarrass Liu Xiu, but who would look down on Liu Xiu? In the eyes of the scholars of Jingzhou, Liu Xiu was a vulgar person who did not understand poetry and books, and was not worthy of respect.

Liu Xiu sneered in his heart, Liu Cong and Cai Mao were wearing a pair of pants, and he had already heard the meaning of the target.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu squinted at Liu Biao.

At this time, Liu Biao's face was slightly gloomy, as if he was displeased, as if he was angry, as if he felt that Liu Xiu had lost his face.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu no longer had hope in his heart. He stood up and said loudly: "Princes, the boy thinks of a poem, please appreciate it." Entitled "Red and White Lotus"

Pang Degong smiled and said: "Listen to the old decay!"

Sima Hui said: "Come quickly!"

Liu Xiu bowed slightly to the two of them, and said loudly:

The red and white lotus flowers bloom in the pond, and the two colors are generally fragrant.

Just like the three thousand women in the Han Palace, half heavy makeup and half light makeup.

After reciting a song "Red and White Lotus", Liu Xiu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The kid is only shallow and shallow, please comment on the seniors." ”

Sima Huipin read it, his eyes were even more radiant, and he praised: "A song "Red and White Lotus" by Xiu Gongzi is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, simple but elegant, elegant but subtle, which can be called a wonderful product. ”

The rest of the people echoed this assertion.

Liu Cong's face sank like water, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes, just now he finished writing the poem, and was appreciated by many scribes in Jingzhou, but he could also hear that it was all hypocrisy, and there was no sense of admiration.

Liu Xiu's song "Red and White Lotus", he felt that it was not very good, but it was praised by everyone.

In my heart, very uncomfortable.

Cai Mao was informed by Cai's in advance and knew that Liu Xiu didn't read much, so he thought that Liu Xiu would definitely lose face after being harassed. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu was so good, and the artistic conception of a "Lotus Poem" far surpassed others, and even Cai Mao appreciated it in his heart.

Appreciation is appreciated, but it is impossible for the positions of the two sides to change.

Cai Mao still has a bad demeanor, and said: "A poem by Xiu Gongzi overwhelms everyone." In the link of poetry, Xiu Gongzi is a well-deserved first. Next, I will still write an article about lotus with the title of lotus. Since Gongzi Xiu has won the first place in the first part of the poem, let's start with Gongzi Xiu this time, what does Gongzi Xiu think?"

seemed to be asking, but Liu Xiu understood that it could not be changed. In front of Liu Biao, Pang Degong, Yi Zhuge Liang and others, once Liu Xiu refused, he admitted that he was incapacitated.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Deju, the kid will be ugly again." ”

Pang Degong said: "Master Xiu, the old man is looking forward to it. ”

"Mr. praised, the boy was ashamed. ”

Pang Degong's public support made Liu Xiu's heart feel a little warm. He and Pang Degong only have a one-sided relationship, just a conversation in Lianxiang Building that day, and there was no intersection, however, Pang Degong's selfless support moved Liu Xiu's heart.

Liu Xiu has a long figure and a lofty instrument, and today he is even more gorgeously dressed and extraordinary. His gaze swept over the people in the hall, neither humble nor arrogant, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Princess, the boy's article is entitled "Ai Lian Said". ”

Everyone looked at Liu Xiu and waited quietly.

The emotions in Liu Xiu's heart calmed down, and he became even more calm, and said loudly:

"The flowers of land, water, plants and trees are very lovely. ”

"Chu Quyuan loves chrysanthemums alone, and since the Qin and Han dynasties, the world loves peonies. To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed. ”

"It is called a chrysanthemum, a recluse of flowers, a peony, a rich and noble flower, and a lotus, a gentleman of flowers. The love of chrysanthemum is rarely heard of. The love of the lotus, who is the giver? The love of the peony should be carried out by all. ”

Writing the most famous articles about Lotus, Zhou Dunyi's "Love Lotus Said" is one of them.

This article can be called a prose for the ages.

After Liu Xiu finished reading, he faced everyone and arched his hand: "The kid is ugly, please taste it." ”

"The lotus is good, the text is good, and the people are better. ”

Xu Shu's eyes showed a deep appreciation and admiration.

Pang Tong muttered: "As soon as this article comes out, today's Yonglian article is no longer interested. ”

Zhuge Liang's handsome cheeks also showed a deep interest. He also had some knowledge of the situation in the governor's office. Liu Biao's third son, the eldest son Liu Qi is not valued and no one cares about him; the second son is deeply loved by Liu Biao and is very popular; the third son Liu Xiu is a concubine and his nationality is unknown.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu was brilliant.

Meng Gongwei, Shi Tao and others also showed curiosity in their eyes, admiring Liu Xiu's literary brilliance.

In a short period of time, such a wonderful article was made, which is convincing.

Everyone in the hall praised and admired it even more.

The Wenhui is just a simple meeting of friends with literature, and Liu Xiu's writing has won everyone's appreciation.

Pang Degong said: "Borrowing things and words, being a man should be like a lotus, out of the mud without staining, straight from the outside to the outside, and the son of Xiu deserves the title of 'Lotus Gentleman'." ”

Sima Hui echoed: "Yes, yes, the title of the Lotus Gentleman is worthy of the name. ”

After everyone heard this, they clapped their palms and laughed, and they all called Lotus Junzi.

For a while, Liu Xiu's title of Lotus Gentleman was recognized by everyone.

Pang Degong looked at Liu Biao and said: "Liu Jingzhou has a son like this, congratulations, it is really a tiger father without a dog." ”

Liu Biao said humbly: "Pang Gong praised it!"

Although he is humble, everyone can see that Liu Biao is very happy. The younger generation of Jingzhou, Wolong, Zhuge Liangfeng, and Pang Tong are not Liu Biao's people, and they don't want to be used by Liu Biao, which is a pimple in Liu Biao's heart. Now, in front of all the scribes in Jingzhou, Liu Xiuwen is overwhelming everyone, and Liu Biao's pride in his heart can be imagined, and his mood is even more comfortable.

Cai Mao saw Liu Biao's expression and sighed lightly in her heart.

His original intention was to embarrass Liu Xiu, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but it made Liu Xiu successful.

In Liu Cong's eyes, the anger was even worse.

Yiwen's proposal to meet friends was proposed by him to Cai, who thought that Liu Xiu could not understand poetry and books, and wanted to use this to make trouble. Unexpectedly, the person who showed his face this time became Liu Xiu, and he became Liu Xiu's stepping stone.

Pang Degong suddenly said: "The old man also has a lotus poem, but it is not written by the old man. It's rare to get together today, and the old man also said it, please comment on it. ”

Liu Biao was in a good mood and said: "What can make Pang Gong remember it in his heart must be extraordinary." ”

Everyone agreed, with a look of expectation on their faces.

On the one hand, he was a hermit, detached from the outside world, and was not moved by fame and fortune; on the other hand, Pang Degong was well-versed in ancient scriptures, brilliant in writing, and even more strategic; moreover, Pang Degong was born in the Pang family in Jingzhou, and his prestige was incomparable.

As soon as he opened his mouth, even Liu Xiu's limelight was suppressed.

Pang Degong glanced at Liu Xiu and said, "The title of the poem is "Feeling of Watching Lotus Lake"!"

Liu Xiu's expression was strange, "Guanlian Lake has feelings", isn't this exactly what he saw Pang Degong and others write? Could it be that Pang Degong wants to move his poems out again, what is the purpose?
