Chapter 15: Opportunities
Cai Mao smiled slightly and replied, "Mr. Degong, this is Liu Xiu, the third son of the lord, who is also among the Wenhui. ”
Liu Xiu hurriedly said: "The kid has seen Mr. Degong!"
After speaking, Liu Xiu looked at Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan again, and arched his hand: "Mr. Decao, Mr. Chengyan, the kid is polite." ”
Pang Degong smiled and said: "The old man learned that Liu Jingzhou held a literary meeting, and he was still wondering if Xiaoyou would participate." Unexpectedly, Xiaoyou turned out to be Liu Jingzhou's third son, which is really unexpected and unexpected. ”
Sima Hui quipped: "Little friend, you are not honest." ”
In a word, with a joking meaning, it reveals that the relationship between the two parties is not ordinary.
Liu Xiu replied: "It's all the boy's fault, the three gentlemen want to beat and scold, and the kid admits it." ”
"That's it, see you!"
Pang Degong laughed and took Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan upstairs.
Cai Mao stared at Liu Xiu, and suddenly felt that she couldn't see through Liu Xiu. From the conversation between Pang Degong and Liu Xiu just now, Cai Mao can see that Pang Degong attaches great importance to Liu Xiu, and the relationship is even more extraordinary. However, Liu Xiu has no power, no power, and is unknown, when did he get on the line of Pang Degong?
Liu Cong stood aside, his handsome face already blue. He stared at Liu Xiu and said in a deep voice: "The third brother is really a good method, even Pang Degong and others know him, which makes the second brother admire." ”
Liu Xiu said with a calm expression: "The second brother has won the award, I am lucky, and I have met Mr. Degong once in a while." ”
Liu Cong pursed his lips, looking like you were a liar.
Only once encountered, the Pound Guild is such a posture, it is absolutely impossible.
"The old man saw Pang Degong and them just now, and he seemed very happy to see their appearance. Not far away, Liu Biao was dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a virtuous crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist, striding over.
Cai Mao smiled slightly, and replied: "Lord, the lotus flowers in Lotus Lake are competing to open, and today is the best time to enjoy the lotus. The three of Pang Degong were in high spirits and were quite happy. The time is right for the lord to hold a cultural meeting this time. ”
Liu Xiu saluted and said, "The son has seen his father!"
Liu Xiu didn't say any extra words, nor did he show off his conversation with Pang Degong.
Cai Mao was worried that Liu Xiu would speak indiscriminately, and after listening to Liu Xiu's words, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. But Liu Xiu's calmness and calmness are no less than an adult, which makes Cai Mao feel like facing an old fox, this kid is not easy to deal with.
Liu Cong also followed: "The son has seen his father!"
Liu Biao bowed slightly, glanced at Liu Cong and Liu Xiu with satisfaction, and asked, "Where is Liu Qi?"
Liu Cong immediately said, "Big brother is resting upstairs!"
In a word, a flash of anger flashed on Liu Biao's face, and he immediately regained his composure.
When Liu Xiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then returned to calm.
After listening to Liu Cong's words, Liu Xiu became more cautious in his heart. He didn't expect that a simple greeting would be secretly boring. The matter of reception, Liu Biao should be given full authority to Cai Mao. However, Cai Mao asked Liu Xiu and Liu Qi to go upstairs, and let Liu Cong follow the reception alone. If Liu Xiu also went to the second floor, then now, Liu Biao would also be angry with Liu Xiu.
At the beginning, Liu Xiu didn't have insight into Cai Mao's plan, he just wanted to know a few more people, but he didn't expect this to be the result now, but fortunately he didn't go up, otherwise he would have been beaten by Liu Congyin.
Cai Mao also glanced at Liu Xiu, and from Liu Xiu's eyes, he understood that the other party could see it, but Cai Mao believed that Liu Xiu was a smart person and would not talk nonsense.
Cai Mao waved his hand and said, "Lord, everyone has arrived, Lord, please!"
Liu Biao said: "Let's go!"
Liu Biao took the lead, Cai Mao followed, and Liu Cong and Liu Xiu walked last.
On the second floor, Liu Biao sat in the main seat in the center, and Cai Mao and Liu Cong sat in turn, all of which were very high positions. Only Liu Xiu's position is at the end of the right side.
This situation fell into the eyes of those who have a heart.
Seeing this, Pang Degong Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui smiled at each other and did not speak.
Liu Biao, as the lord of Jingzhou, attended today's literary meeting without any politeness, and picked up the wine bottle to make an opening speech. After some opening remarks, Liu Biao waved his hand and said: "Enjoy Lianhu Lake today, meet friends with texts, and hope that you will show your talents and strengths." ”
Cai Mao echoed: "The Lord is reasonable!"
Liu Biao shook his head and said, "Today is to meet friends with literature, not to talk about business, and not to talk about official status. ”
Cai Mao understood what Liu Biao meant, and knew that Liu Biao should not only have the status of the state pastor, but also be approachable, so that the atmosphere was warm, so he immediately changed his words: "Jingsheng Gong, I will not be formal." Today, the lotus flowers are in full bloom in the lotus lake, it is better to take the lotus as the theme, please write poems and make friends. ”
Liu Biao smiled and said: "De Jue is reasonable, it should be so!"
The corners of Pang Degong's mouth were smiling, when they met Liu Xiu, they were also here, and they were also themed on lotus. Now Liu Biao is holding a literary meeting, and it is with the theme of lotus flowers.
Sima Hui said in a low voice: "Degong, you say, can that kid still make a poem about the lotus?"
Huang Chengyan glanced at the direction where Liu Xiu was and said, "There may be, but this kid suffers a little." After all, he had already made a poem, and it was a little difficult to make another one. ”
Pang Degong was small and said, "We'll see!"
"There is a poem below, please enjoy. ”
The person who spoke was a child of the Kuai family, named Kuai Che. He stood up, walked to the window near Lianhu, paused for a moment, and began to chant loudly. Kuaiche's voice is loud and strong, and when he sings the verses, he adds to the momentum.
After a poem was sung, there was a chorus of praise from the audience.
Kuai Che humbly excused himself, with a modest smile on his face, and returned to his seat to sit down.
There is also a poem below, please enjoy it. ”
The person who spoke was a child of the Cai family, named Cai Zhen. He also walked to the lotus lake, carefully observed the lotus lake outside the window, and began to chant poetry. Compared with Kuai Che's poems, Cai Zhen's poetry style is different, but the two are indistinguishable.
After Cai Zhen stepped back, there was another burst of praise and encouragement.
With Kuai Che and Cai Zhen appearing, the atmosphere of the Wenhui gradually became lively.
The young children of each family have recited poems and written poems.
The people who participated in the meeting, Ma Hui and others from Kuailiang Pound Company are first-class celebrities, and if they get the appreciation and comments of one of them, it is an opportunity to make progress.
Suddenly, Liu Cong stood up and said, "Boy Liu Cong, I also made a poem, please comment on it." In front of everyone, Liu Cong sang out the lotus poem he had prepared earlier.
As soon as the poem came out, there were countless people who praised it.
Liu Cong is Liu Biao's son, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, so he has to take care of Liu Biao's face. Either way, it must be praised. Liu Cong listened to everyone's praise, there was a hint of pride on his face, and he glanced at Liu Xiu and sat down.
Liu Biao's mood at this time was also quite comfortable.
The son was praised, and he was honored to be a father.
Suddenly, Liu Cong arched his hand and said: "Father, the third brother is talented, it is better to let the third brother also write a poem." ”
Liu Biao frowned slightly, he didn't know what Liu Xiu's talent was. In front of everyone, Liu Biao couldn't refuse Liu Cong's request, and asked, "Xiu'er, do you have the courage to chant a poem?"
Liu Xiu got up and said, "If the father has an order, the son will sacrifice the ugly." ”
Liu Cong's heart was excited, and a look of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes. But in front of everyone, he made a look of anticipation and said, "Third brother, I look forward to your masterpiece for my brother." ”
Liu Xiu sneered in his heart, Liu Cong's purpose was to make him make a fool of himself in public.
Liu Xiu faced everyone in the hall, bowed his hand, and said without humility or arrogance: "The kid is only a shallow learner, please give me more advice." ”
Speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, behaving decently, this bearing made everyone secretly praise
