"Since it is a literary society, if you want to chant poetry, why don't you start with poetry?" Han Yuning proposed.

"It's all up to Miss Han." Chen Buzhi nodded in agreement.

"All of you are young and handsome people from Xijing, and their vision and knowledge are all first-class of their peers, so let's write poems with the theme of irony." Han Yuning set the theme.

Everyone was a little surprised, generally speaking, Wenhui wrote poems mostly to write some wind and snow, and rarely wrote satirical poems. But even if it was proposed by the daughter of the first assistant, everyone did not dare to object.

Some visitors are already thinking about whether Han Yuning's move is the instruction of Lord Shoufu, and how they should write it to please Han Jaefu.

When everyone was immersed in hard thinking, Bai Min did not meditate on poetry, but just drank wine and ate some fruit.

The green plum wine prepared by the Chen Mansion was extremely low, and the people who came to the banquet were all fifteen or sixteen-year-old golden branches and jade leaves, and they couldn't drink too strong wine.

Bai Ming's appearance attracted the preconceived idea of the gray-white brocade-robed young man before, thinking that he couldn't compose poetry, but only knew how to climb the relationship when he entered the text, and his heart became more and more disdainful.

After half a pillar of incense, the first person to complete the poem was completed, and to Bai Ming's surprise, the first person to complete the poem was Chen Buzhi.

Writing poetry is not a strong point that I don't know, Bai Compassion said.

He forgot that Chen Buzhi was really not good at writing those flowery poems, but he was also outstanding in satire.

"The name of the poem, the sparrow." Chen didn't know the name of the poem, got up and recited:

One litter, two litters, three or four litters,

Five litters, six litters, seven or eight litters.

Eat up the emperor Qianzhongsu,

How much less is the phoenix?

Chen Buzhi's voice was a little frivolous, with a little disdain in his words, which matched the poem quite well.

A simple limerick poem, without flowery rhetoric, but with a deep meaning, it profoundly satirizes the corruption of officials in the world and no one considers the people.

Bai Mingxin said that it is indeed an unknown style.

"Good poetry!" Han Yuning took the lead in applauding and praised, "I didn't expect that Chen Gongzi is not only a genius in cultivation, but also outstanding in poetry." ”

All the guests also praised the good poems, but looking at their expressions, they didn't have much admiration. Although Chen Buzhi's poems are very good in idea and cleverly written, they are not elegant enough and are not first-class.

The second person to finish the poem was Zhao Huiyan, the poem's idea, battle, and wording were very mediocre, and everyone symbolically praised a few words, and then passed.

The third is a young man in a gray and white brocade robe, although the poem is not enough, but the words are gorgeous, and the battle is neat, and he has also received a lot of praise.

In a short time, eleven of the thirteen people in the hall have written poems, and Han Yuning is the one who wrote the question, and if she doesn't participate, only Bai Min will be left.

"Brother Bai, don't eat it, it's your turn." Zhao Huiyan reminded softly.

Hearing this, Bai Min wiped his hands, and was reading a poem, when suddenly, a piercing voice came.

"If you can't write a poem, don't pretend, leave the banquet as soon as possible! This is not something that a down-and-out warrior like you can stay! ”

The owner of the voice is the young man in the gray brocade robe.

When everyone heard this, they frowned, and they were a little dissatisfied with the mean words of the gray-and-white brocade-robed young man, but they did not say anything to stop them.

Chen didn't know that his friend was insulted, he didn't make a sound, and even had a smile on the corner of his mouth, he believed that the poems written by Bai Min must be better than him, and the brocade-robed young man could only slap himself in the face in the end.

Only Zhao Huiyan, seeing this situation, thought that Bai Min really couldn't write, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Bai may not be feeling well, and he is slow to compose poems, why are you so aggressive, Brother Pei?" ”

Bai Min looked at Zhao Huiyan, his expression was slightly surprised, he had only chatted with him for a few words, but he didn't expect him to speak for himself.

Seeing that no one except Zhao Huiyan made a sound, the young man became more and more rampant, and sneered: "Hmph! Zhao Huiyan, don't pretend to be a good person here, it's not your right to speak! ”

"You ......" Zhao Huiyan was a little angry, but thinking about the father of the young man surnamed Pei, he didn't say anything more after all.

Bai Min is also a teenager after all, and it is inevitable that he will be a little angry when he encounters this situation, so he got up and looked at the young man, and said coldly: "Since you are so sure that I can't write poetry, why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Hmph, you're worthy of it too? Do you know who I am? The boy continued to shout, his expression and words were full of extreme disdain.

"I don't know who you are, but if you don't make this bet, you're guilty." Bai Min deliberately provoked the young man.

"Bet on it! How to gamble? "The boy is an impulsive character, and he was provoked, so he actually responded, and he didn't think that Bai Min would make a bet, and he was sure.

Seeing this, the other guests also shook their heads, sighing that the young man surnamed Pei was too impulsive.

"How much money do you have?" Bai Min asked.

"Why are you asking this?"

"That's it."

"Twenty taels."

"That's it? Is there anything else of value? ”

"There's a piece of family heirloom jade, what are you going to bet on?"

"Don't worry, how much is the jade worth?"

"Two thousand taels."

"In this way, we compare poems, and everyone evaluates who writes well, if I write well, you give me your piece of jade, if I am not as good as you, I will give you three thousand taels." Bai Min was about to lose the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Okay, but I don't need three thousand taels, two thousand taels is enough, so as not to let people say that I am bullying you. The young man looked rebellious, and in this regard, he paid attention to fairness.

"Can you bother Miss Han as proof?" Bai Min looked at Han Yuning.

Han Yuning nodded: "I'm here to testify." ”

"And I'm going to get started?" Bai Min looked at the brocade-robed young man.

"Let's get started, I'm going to see what you can write."

"The title of the poem is "Po Xijing." Bai Min first reported the name of the poem.

He walked slowly to the middle of the banquet hall, and in a cold voice, began to chant:

smoke cage cold water moon cage sand,

Night Park Xijing near the restaurant.

The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country,

Across the river, he still sang "Summer Garden Flower".

This Xijing refers to the Xijing River, and "Xia Tinghua" is a popular track in the former summer.

After Bai Min recited, the audience fell silent, and everyone was shocked by this poem.

Chen Buzhi took the lead in breaking the silence and praised loudly: "Good poetry! What a poem! ”

Zhao Huiyan waited for a while before coming back to his senses, and then exclaimed: "It's indeed a good poem!" is obviously satirizing businesswomen, but in fact it is satirizing officials who are greedy for pleasure. The talent of the white brother is admired by the younger brother. ”

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings "Xia Tinghua" across the river." Han Yuning looked at Bai Min and repeated these two lines of poetry stupidly, and the coldness in his voice was a little less.

The audience praised endlessly, and some people have begun to record the poems, ready to take them back to share with their families and friends.

Only the young man in the brocade robe sat on the seat, his expression was dull, and his eyes were full of shock.

Bai Min walked in front of the young man and was about to ask for the jade pendant, but he didn't expect the young man to delay it, and directly took the jade pendant off his neck and handed it over to Bai Min.

The young man's decisiveness surprised Bai Min slightly.

The reason why Bai Min specially invited Han Yuning as a witness was that he was afraid that the young man would pay his debts, but he didn't expect the young man to afford to lose.

"What's your name?" The boy asked.

"White mercy."

"My name is Pei Zhi, you sit here with me."

"What do you mean?" Bai Min was a little puzzled.

"This is a literary banquet, your poet, you shouldn't sit in that seat." Pei Zhi said seriously.

"It's pretty exquisite." Bai Min looked at Pei Zhi and said with a smile: "It's not that you sit anywhere to decide your dignity and ability. ”

With that, Bai Min turned around and returned to his seat.

Pei Zhi looked at Bai Min's back, looking a little dazed.

"Since Brother Bai is unwilling, Brother Pei, you can continue to sit in your seat." Zhao Huiyan continued to play round.

"Bai Gongzi is such a poet, I don't know who you are learning from?" Han Yuning regained her cold voice and asked.

"No teacher."

"No teacher?" Han Yuning's voice was a little surprised, "Which elder in the family is teaching?" ”

"There is only an aunt in the family, who teaches some principles of life, and everything I learn is from books."

"Today's saint loves poetry, Bai Gongzi's poetry is rare in the world, after returning to Beijing, I will ask my father to recommend you to His Majesty. With your poetic talents, there is hope for the revival of the family. Han Yuning listened to Pei Zhi's words before, and had a preconceived idea, thinking that Bai Min was a down-and-out clan.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Bai Min with envy.

Bai Xinxin said Han Yuning, this is planning to take me under his command, but unfortunately I am a citizen, and you can't recommend me.

"Miss Han's kindness Bai is grateful, but he is sorry for the grass people, not the scholars, so Miss Han doesn't bother."

"People?" Han Yuning exclaimed.

Except for Chen Buzhi and Zhao Huiyan, the others in the audience fell into shock again.

Chen didn't know that the scene was embarrassing, so he came out and explained: "Bai Min was invited by me, and he is a guest of my house. ”

"It turned out to be a guest of the Chen Mansion, Chen Gongzi really picked up a treasure." Han Yuning smiled faintly, obviously she didn't believe in this explanation, who would let the doorman sit at a table alone at the Wenyan.

But in fact, Bai Min was indeed invited by Chen Bu to help, Chen Bu was worried that he would not be able to write poems at first, and wanted to rely on Bai Min to save face. The only difference is that the two are friends, not up and down.

"If Bai Gongzi is tired of staying in the Chen Mansion, he can also go to the Han Mansion to live." Han Yuning threw out an olive branch again after hearing Bai Minmin's identity.

"Bai knows." Bai Min nodded, not accepting it directly, but also not refuting Han Yuning's face.

"Miss Han, it's time for the banquet to continue." Chen Buzhi hurriedly said, he was in a hurry to turn over this matter, otherwise he was afraid that there would be trouble again.

"Okay, the banquet continues." Han Yuning nodded, she knew the truth of recruiting talents, and she didn't intend to push Bai Min too hard.

During the banquet, Bai Min showed amazing talent and rich knowledge accumulation, which amazed everyone, and Han Yuning's eyes became more and more hot when he looked at Bai Min.

This person must be dug up, Han Yu said in his heart.

The banquet lasted until late at night and finally ended, and Bai Min deservedly became the protagonist of this banquet.

After the banquet, Chen didn't know that as the host, he wanted to send Han Yuning and others out of the mansion, Han Yuning insisted on being accompanied by Bai Min, but Chen didn't know that he had no choice but to let Bai Min follow.

On the way to send people away, Han Yuning praised Bai Min many times, did not hide her appreciation, and extended an olive branch again, but was still politely rejected by Bai Min. Bai Min was reluctant to join a force he didn't understand, even if it was powerful.
