Chapter 32: Seeking Poetry

"It's a pity that the flowers will be better next year, and I know who I will be with."

"Sent him back?"

"Grandpa, the sedan chair sent to pick up my uncle has already returned home, and I think my uncle and young lady are already asleep at this moment."

In a small room, Zhong Liwu was holding a manuscript of poetry in his hand and was talking to Wei Ling.

The room should be less than ten square meters in size, surrounded by airtight, not even windows, and a few bright lights on the table.

There was a sharp sword stuck in the right side of the room on top of a pile of skeletons, and then I looked at the door, the gap between it and the wall was very tight, this should be a dark room.

Zhong Liwu was dressed in simple brown clothes at the moment, there were no other accessories on his body, he looked neat, he and Wei Ling were sitting opposite each other at a table, there was no tea on the table, only a chessboard, and there were no chess pieces around.

"He is a wise man, and since he has written such verses, he probably knows them in his heart." Hearing that the person had been sent home, Zhong Liwu nodded, then looked at the poem manuscript in his hand, and sighed to Wei Ling.

"Tsk, I was holding back before I thought I came to my uncle." After Wei Lingpin finished reading this poem, his mouth was also amazed.

"He didn't have to hide it, His Majesty is not a stingy person, and he also thinks highly of himself. On the contrary, the more sloppy people are, the more worthless they are......" Zhong Liwu tapped his fingers on the chessboard, and thought of something, he continued: "But after tonight, he can be regarded as emerging in Xuan'an, and I think he himself understands this, and it is not too late. ”

"Your Majesty is afraid that he will regret letting him marry our house." Wei Ling chuckled twice.

"No, if there is a war with Zhaoguo at the end of the year, I will be the commander-in-chief, and Your Majesty may think it is a pleasure to make me an enemy of my son-in-law's home and country." Zhong Liwu also had a faint smile.

"Your Majesty has to force us to a dead end, my grandfather is already at the top of the official rank, if this battle is won, there is no way to advance, but if it is defeated...... If you lose, you don't need to say much. ”

Talking about this matter, Zhong Liwu didn't want to say much, he straightened out his thoughts and instructed Wei Lingdao:

"Tomorrow, when he wakes up, bring him a letter, he has made a meritorious offering, and I have agreed to the businessman's matter, and let him bring someone to see me another day." The second is to remind him not to be afraid to act in the future, and to do it boldly, he will not worry about his life before this autumn and winter. Give him another token, and it will be much more convenient to go in and out of the house and run some errands on weekdays. ”

"Grandpa, this is what you want to ......"

"It's nothing, this is the treatment that a prince should enjoy."

"By the way, do you know why he clashed with the Mi clan that day?"

"Returning to Grandpa, I just learned today that Mi seems to have been in contact with Lu Guogong's people, and she persuaded Miss to remarry a few days ago......"

Hearing the news, Zhong Li's expression turned cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Help me draft a letter of resignation."

……

The smell of alcohol lingered in his throat, his limbs were still a little numb, and his head was groggy.

I remember that last night's preface was on the Fenghua list, and the lyrics are said to have been on the top of last night's list, and no poems came out after the Qingfeng Collection, and everyone in the Peach Blossom Poetry Society must toast him one by one, and there is no way to refuse......

Later, it seems that an unusually luxurious sedan chair came?

"Xianggong, you woke up, the concubine made a sobering soup, let's drink a little first." A familiar and soft voice sounded in his ears, Situ Xi's heart was a little more relaxed, and he turned his head to see Zhong Lisu holding a spoon and blowing gently.

"Uncle, I heard that you were brilliant and brilliant at the poetry meeting last night, but unfortunately the slave didn't see it with his own eyes. Early this morning, the slave maid passed by the Fenghua List, and there were many people inside and outside the area, as well as officials guarding it, all of whom were discussing their uncle. Whispering also sat at the end of the bed, she looked excited, and shook Situ Xi's futon with her hand.

"Cough, cough, whisper, who taught you the word "Yan Qunfang?"

Hearing her words, Situ Xi coughed twice, speaking can actually be simpler, if you really can't figure out the use of a word, you can completely describe it directly.

Or is this girl not going to be intentional, right? It's really possible!

"Uncle, why are you staring at me like this......"

"Xianggong, a letter and a package were sent from the house in the morning, which were specially given to you, and the concubine went to get it for you." After Zhong Lixuan finished speaking, he took out the letters and packages from the cabinet next to him.

Huaiming Mansion? Could it be a reply from Lee?

Opening the letterhead, Situ Xi took out the letter paper in it, glanced at it slightly, and his face became a little serious.

This letter was actually written by Zhong Liwu to him, and other things are easy to understand, but the letter said that "until this autumn and winter, there is no worry about your life in Chu State", this is a countdown to yourself, that is to say, there may be changes in the relationship between Chu and Zhao in the autumn and winter this year.

At the end of the article, it is also written, "It is better to destroy it after reading it".

He put down the letter and opened the package, which contained some money and the token mentioned in the letter, which was made of jade and intricately engraved with the word "Zhongli".

It's a good thing.

"Bang bang bang-" A rhythmic voice sounded from outside the courtyard, and someone was visiting.

Nodding to Zhong Lixuan, she walked quickly into the courtyard and opened the courtyard door.

"Nine Kings, I'm bothering you again." This is Fan Lao's voice.

He walked in the door and saw that Situ Xi was still in bed, and quickly apologized.

"It turns out that you are still resting, I'm really sorry, the old clumsy saw that it was already noon, so he knocked on the door wantonly, thinking that the Nine Kings should have had a good drink at the poetry meeting yesterday. Lao Clumsy walked down the street today, and the scholars and red sleeves along the way were all talking about your name. ”

Looking out the window, it was already noon, it seemed that he had slept for a long time, and he would drink less wine in the future, and he always felt that he could eat and drink nonsense like in his previous life.

"It's okay, I woke up just now, but Mr. Fan came at the right time, what you asked for has come to fruition, and my father-in-law has promised, just go to the house with me another day."

"Seriously!" Hearing this news, Fan Lao was overjoyed, for this matter, he walked around Xuan'an for more than a month without results, and today he finally had some eyebrows, and he couldn't help but bow down to Situ Xi again.

"Fan Yong has thanked the Nine Kings here! In the future, the old clumsy will definitely repay the nine kings for this favor! ”

"Mr. Fan, please hurry up, I'm just taking money to do things, it doesn't have to be like this." Situ Xi hurriedly moved to help him up, this old man is not young, it will not be good if he hurts his waist pole in his own house later.

Let Fan Lao sit down on the seat next to him, Situ Xi poured him a cup of tea, and then asked him what he meant.

"Why did Mr. Fan come to look for me today?"

"That's right, Jiuwang still remembers the flower master I met last time in front of Jinsefang, she read the poem you made at the Taoyuan Poetry Club last night, and wanted to ask you to compose a poem for her, of course, she also prepared a lot of money for the pen."
