Not long after Li Chouxin and the others entered the store, the shopkeeper ran over.

"Childe, there's a little flower outside, sitting by the wall, as if he is following the big flower who was holding a wooden sword for wine before, just outside?"

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Li Chouxin knew that it was Zhang Xiaopan, but it was very strange, what did Zhang Xiaopan do here?

With curiosity, Li Chouxin walked out and walked towards Zhang Xiaopan.

Zhang Xiaopan saw Li Chouxin coming over, got up and wanted to leave but didn't want to go. Li Chouxin saw something unusual, grabbed Zhang Xiaopan's arm, and asked, "Xiaopan, why are you here?" Is it for me? ”

Zhang Xiaopan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to convey Pei Chen's meaning or not.

"Did your big brother Pei Chen ask you to come?"

When Zhang Xiaopan heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, I came with you quietly, and it has nothing to do with Brother Pei Chen." ”

Looking at Zhang Xiaopan's appearance, Li Chou knew that Zhang Xiaopan was lying at this time, and knew that he couldn't ask at this time, so he pulled Zhang Xiaopan to Fuman Building, saying that he wanted to invite Zhang Xiaopan to have a good meal.

Zhang Xiaopan wanted to refuse, but he was dragged in by Li Chouxin.

Zhang Xiaopan sat next to Li Chouxin, looked at the sisters sitting together, his dirty face turned red in an instant, where had he seen such a beautiful girl, and he began to feel uncomfortable.

Qin Yin saw that Zhang Xiaopan was a little embarrassed, and teased: "Yo, what's wrong with the little brother?" Is it that the heartbeat is too fast, and the face is red. ”

The rest of the people laughed after hearing this, which made Zhang Xiaopan even more uncomfortable.

At this time, Ziwei said: "Okay, okay, just a few of you just flirt with your worried brother, this is still a child." ”

Zhang Xiaopan glanced at Ziwei and expressed his gratitude.

"Aren't you going to invite me to drink? Come on! Zhang Xiaopan could only turn his head to Li Chouxin, which eased his embarrassment a little.

"Little Er, serve wine and food!"

Xiao Er listened to Li Chouxin's call, and immediately came up with good wine and food.

Zhang Xiaopan looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Xiaopan's appearance and said, "Eat, it's not enough to serve later." ”

Zhang Xiaopan was not polite, and directly ripped off a chicken leg and sent it to his mouth. Several people looked at Zhang Xiaopan's gobbling up, and they all felt a strange and indescribable feeling, such a big child, I am afraid that it is the first time to eat such a delicious thing.

Li Chouxin took the opportunity to ask, "It really wasn't Pei Chen who asked you to come?" ”

"I told you no, I came by myself." After that, he stuffed a lump of braised pork into his mouth.

"What about wine? Aren't you going to ask me for a drink? Zhang Xiaopan asked Li Chouxin.

"Just you, what kind of wine do you kid drink? A bowl should be drunk! Zhu Wei said.

Zhang Xiaopan looked at Zhu Wei and said, "Who do you look down on, as long as there is wine, Brother Pei Chen will give me a taste, who doesn't know how to drink." ”

After hearing this, Li Chouxin poured a bowl for Zhang Xiaopan and said, "Don't wait until you get drunk and tell all the secrets, don't say that I drunk you when the time comes." ”

Zhang Xiaopan didn't answer, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, and his spicy face turned red all of a sudden.

"Look, let's just say that you don't know how to drink, and you have to be strong." Zhu Wei said.

Zhang Xiaopan glared at Zhu Wei, and then drank the remaining half bowl, and after drinking, he didn't rush to speak, but grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, looking satisfied.

Several people were worried that Zhang Xiaopan was drunk, but Zhang Xiaopan drank more and more, and after a while, he had three bowls of wine, and his speech became sluggish.

At this time, Li Chou asked in his heart: "Xiao Pan, did Pei Chen ask you to come?" ”

Zhang Xiaopan shook his head and didn't speak, picked up the wine bowl and drank another bowl despite the obstruction of several sisters, at this time Zhang Xiaopan began to feel a little floating, as if the people in the restaurant were also spinning.

Looking at Xiao Pan's trance-like appearance, Li Chouxin asked again.

This time, Zhang Xiaopan didn't shake his head and said: "I don't know what Brother Pei Chen thinks, since he heard what the sad son said, he agreed to compete with the sad son." Of course, at this time, he had forgotten that Li Chouxin was sitting beside him.

Li Chouxin, who heard the news, was inevitably a little excited, and hurriedly asked, "Did you say when?" ”

Zhang Xiaopan said at this time: "Three days later, in the evening, the temple in the east of the city was broken. ”

Li Chou wanted to continue to ask something, but found that Zhang Xiaopan had fallen drunk on the table.

A few people slowly began to eat and drink, waiting for Zhang Xiaopan to wake up.

Almost half an hour later, Zhang Xiaopan opened his eyes in a daze, and muttered, "What time is it?" I still have to find food for Brother Pei! ”

Li Chouxin patted Zhang Xiaopan and said, "You can see if you have anything to say to the shopkeeper, I'll invite you this time!" ”

Zhang Xiaopan didn't ask for much, just a roast chicken and a pot of wine.

Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Xiaopan, who was swaying with roast chicken and wine jugs, and asked, "Can you do it?" Do you want me to send you back? ”

Zhang Xiaopan blinked, and saw clearly that it was Li Chouxin who spoke, and while saying no, he wondered if he had leaked the news just now.

Then he staggered out of Fumanlou, but no matter how erratic his body was, the roast chicken and wine jug in his hand were clenched very tightly, and several people watched a slender figure swaying and disappearing into the street at the door.

Just as a few people were about to return to Fumanlou, a group of people suddenly appeared on the street, led by three men, followed by seven or eight women with heavy makeup, who were beating gongs and drums to promote a news.

"Neighbors, talents! Tomorrow afternoon, the annual Sun-seeking Poetry Meeting will be held in Qianxiuzhai! At that time, the dignitaries, rich children, and literati in Xunyang City will come to the grand event. The application fee is 30 taels of silver, regardless of the price! By the way, in addition to the above, Qianxiuzhai also deliberately introduced a new Oiran jade glaze this year, which is also a peerless elegance, both talented, and it will be a pity to miss it for life! ”

"What is this Sun-Seeking Poetry Meeting?" Li Chou turned around and asked about the shopkeeper.

Before the shopkeeper could answer, Zhu Wei ran forward and stopped the person who was shouting.

The man saw that the person who came was a little girl, and said: "Little beauty, our poetry meeting in Qianxiuzhai has never been attended by a woman, if the little beauty wants to participate, it is better to enter Qianxiuzhai to be a little Oiran, with the girl's appearance is no problem!" ”

"Phew! You're the Oiran! I'm here to sign up for my son-in-law! ”

"Your son-in-law? Who is your son-in-law? What is the last name? Where is it now? The man asked a few questions.

Zhu Wei also replied in one breath: "Yes, my son-in-law wants to sign up, and my son-in-law's name is Sorrowful Son, right there!" After that, Zhu Wei pointed her finger at Li Chouxin, and Li Chouxin suddenly expressed surprise!

The man looked in the direction that Zhu Wei knew, and saw a handsome boy standing at the door of Fumanlou, and there were a few beauties with thousands of postures behind him, which was really incomprehensible, obviously accompanied by so many stunning beauties, and he had to go to Qianxiuzhai to join in the fun.

"Good! Sorrowful son, tattooed silver thirty taels! The man registered while reading, and did not forget to stretch out his hand to Zhu Wei.

Zhu Wei didn't ink, so she directly took out thirty taels of silver and handed it to the man, and then returned to Li Chouxin.

Before leaving, the man did not forget to remind: "Sorrowful son! Please come on time tomorrow, you won't be able to enter after the time, and the money will not be returned. With that, he continued to advertise to the street in front of him.

"Little Zhu Wei! What are you doing? It's nonsense! Li Chou said angrily and funny to Zhu Wei.

"Oh, sad brother, isn't this poetry your forte? I still remember how I wrote my sister in Oroling, what 'Oroling wine with crape myrtle, when will I come back from the south to the north...', which made Zhu Wei very envious, why should I write about me this time. After Zhu Wei finished speaking, Li Chouxin didn't say anything, but Ziwei's face suddenly burned.

"Zhu Wei! Don't mess around! Ziwei said suddenly.

Zhu Wei said mischievously again: "Sisters, see it, my sister is going to be angry!" ”

At this time, Qin Yin Seyu and others next to him also said: "Isn't it, how romantic my sad brother was at that time, I still remember it vividly, I don't know when my sad brother will write us into the poem?" ”

In an instant, the front of the Fuman Building was full of vinegar.

Li Chouxin did not rush to ask Zhu Wei, but quickly changed the topic, turned around and asked about the shopkeeper Xunyang Poetry Club.

The shopkeeper was a little funny, but he still maintained his professional ethics and replied: "This Yang-seeking poetry meeting is run by Qianxiuzhai in Mingli, once a year, in fact, it is jointly organized by the government and Qianxiuzhai, and every year it uses different gimmicks to attract the majority of literati to consume, in fact, it is to make money for them." However, this Yang-seeking poetry meeting is not useless, the literati meet, and there will be a lot of famous articles every year, and this Qianxiu Zhai's Oiran is indeed a standout, with a variety of styles. ”

Li Chouxin heard that he had a preliminary understanding of this Yang-seeking Poetry Club, and now that he had signed up, he had no choice but to participate in it.

Several girls saw that Li Chouxin decided to participate, and they also wanted to go together to witness Li Chouxin's demeanor, which stumped Li Chouxin, after all, even if several people were dressed as men, all of them were too eye-catching, and in the end, Li Chouxin only agreed to take one person to go, as for who it was, they chose it before dawn.

Li Chouxin hurriedly ran away and returned to the upstairs room and closed the door. I only heard that a few girls were still chattering over who was going with Li Chouxin, and they didn't decide why for a long time.

The next morning, Li Chouxin was woken up by the knocks of several girls.

Li Chouxin went out to see that the six girls were all dressed up carefully, and said: "Brother Chouxin, we have already chosen, this time Shuyi will go with you, but it is still early, you have to promise us one thing, otherwise you will feel better." ”

Li Chouxin was dizzy early in the morning, thinking that it was good to have a red face with him, but when he was annoyed, he was really annoyed. So he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Wei hurriedly said: "Before going to the poetry meeting, you have to accompany us to go shopping first, and you have to buy us new gifts!" ”

"Huh? Isn't it the same thing? These are clearly two things. Li Chou asked.

"That's right, that's one thing!" A girl retorted in unison.

Li Chou was helpless, so he had to agree.

Li Chouxin took a few girls to walk around Xunyang Street, saying that everyone would buy a gift, but in fact, everyone was carrying more than one in their hands, so Li Chouxin couldn't cry or laugh.

At noon, a few people finally returned to Fumanlou, and then they rested a little. After a simple lunch, Shuyi urged a few people to go back to the room to help them dress up, although a few people were a little jealous, but they still went back to the room with a small face and Shuyi.

The shopkeeper ran over at this time, "Son, you are really blessed, these girls revolve around you like this every day, you are really envious of others!" ”

"You little second brother, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, didn't you see that I was so embarrassed in the morning?"

At this time, the shopkeeper said: "But all enjoyment must be paid first, son, you still cheer up, after all, there are still poems of Qianxiu Zhai waiting for you." ”

Li Chouxin listened to the words of the shopkeeper, drank a glass of wine, and planned to go back to the room to repair for a while.

It didn't take long for Shuyi to knock on Li Chouxin's door and say, "Brother Chouxin! The poetry party is about to begin! ”

Li Chou was very puzzled, and when he went out, he looked carefully at the person in front of the door and found that it was the meaning of the book. So the two of them talked and laughed and walked towards Qianxiuzhai, looking like two friends.

In front of Qianxiu Zhai, the crowds were boiling, and they were all watching this grand event, but they were all joining in the fun, after all, only people who paid the money and registered could go in today, and Li Chouxin also arrived at the door at this time.

After the turtle at the door checked the roster, Li Chouxin also walked in, and Shuyi behind him followed in as his own scholar.

entered Qianxiu Zhai, full of rouge. Today's poetry will be on the first floor, as soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw that the people in front of them were looking for their seats according to the registration number, Li Chouxin glanced around, the entire first floor except for a wall with the theme of the Xunyang Poetry Club hanging in front of it and three desks and seats, the rest of the seats were lined up along both sides until Li Chouxin came to him.

Li Chou looked at the seat in front of him, which was his number, so he sat down. The people who walked in looked at Li Chouxin, and they all shook their heads, and said from time to time that no one would sit here in previous years, and everyone would only scramble to sign up and move forward, this person probably came to fish in troubled waters.

Some people also say that there are so many people who have signed up this year that it is understandable to sit here.

But Li Chouxin didn't care, after all, it wasn't his name.

As the people who entered were all seated, Shuyi looked around, lowered his body and said to Li Chouxin: "Childe, Shuyi just read it, I'm afraid that there are seventy or eighty people participating in this poetry meeting, even the blind Wu Dabao is here, and Childe wants to be a blockbuster but has to show his strength!" ”

Li Chouxin smiled, don't worry, let's see how others behave first, let's watch the excitement.

"Doesn't Childe want to fight against Oiran?" Shuyi said.

Li Chouxin looked at the book and said, "Am I the kind of person who came specifically to see the Oiran?" ”

Shuyi listened to Li Chouxin's words and pushed Li Chouxin with his knees.

At this time, the old bustard of Qianxiuzhai came out and announced the beginning of the poetry meeting.

Then a woman in a red shirt walked out from the side, this woman was graceful step by step, convex and backward, slender figure, good looks, a little red lips are very charming, and she can be regarded as enchanting.

"The little woman Yu Liuli has seen all the adults and talents. The next poetry meeting will be presided over by a little woman, and this year a new rule has been revised, where the poetry will get the top three poems, Qianxiu Zhai will pay 100 taels to buy it, paste it outside for the passers-by to taste. ”

"It turns out that this is jade glass, it seems to be really amorous....."

"Yes, this figure, this appearance, it's really fascinating."

"If only this beauty could look at me more."

For a while, everyone praised the jade glaze when they saw it.

At this time, Yu Liuli said: "Next, I will formally introduce today's judges, first of all, Mr. Ouyang Qing from the capital Xijing, the name of Mr. must have heard of it, and now he has written more than 300 poems, which can be described as a poet; This is Meng Lang's talented woman Xie Zhaoling, a poem in the boudoir that makes people feel sad and angry; Finally, this is our local cultural master Siqing, who has long been famous in the local area. Today, we are fortunate to invite three of them for the absolute fairness of this poetry meeting. ”

After that, the three of them sat down under the theme of the Sun-seeking Poetry Club in front of them and greeted each other.

Yu Liuli said again: "Don't talk nonsense, the next thing to look at the performance of your adults and sons, there are three themes in today's poetry meeting, the first theme is 'Splendid', please use the splendid elephant to make a poem; the second theme is 'Acacia', please make a word with this; this third, it will be announced later, it is naturally related to the little girl Jade Liuli, and now please make the first question." ”

As soon as Yu Liuli finished speaking, everyone in the audience began to create.

Wu Dabao took the lead in offering ugliness:

There are beauties in the splendid building

Dabao lovesickness will never be

I had no choice but to eat three glasses of wine

I had everything in my dreams

Wu Dabao had just finished reading, and everyone burst into laughter.

Wu Dabao argued: "The judges haven't said yet, what are you laughing at, besides, Young Master Ben is the fastest!" ”

At this time, Ouyang Qing on the stage said: "Fast is fast, the meaning is also very clear, but there is still a lack of heat, the next one." "Ouyang Qing can be regarded as leaving a show for Wu Dabao, after all, he is the son of Taishou.

One of the men sitting in front stood up and said:

Qianxiu Zhai hides splendor

Splendid drinking alone in the audience

If it makes the beautiful woman laugh

Drink all three hundred and never stop

Everyone applauded, but Ouyang Qing poured cold water on them: "I really don't know if you are participating in the poetry meeting or here to flirt with other girls, the next one!" ”

After a series of displays, none of the wishful works could enter the eyes of the three judges, and they saw that everyone shook their heads in unison every time they read a song.

Seeing Li Chouxin, everyone completely forgot their ugly state just now, and laughed one after another.

"Just him? If he can write two sentences, Ben Gongzi will leave immediately. ”

"Don't look at it, it's definitely another playboy, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it."

"If he can write it, I'll crawl out of here, and please be a witness!"

“......”

Wu Dabao was also puzzled: "Why is this kid here?" Could it be that in addition to superb swordsmanship, he can also stand out from the crowd in the field of poetry. However, he is sitting in the last seat at this time, and it seems that it is more likely to join in the fun, and see how he will make a fool of himself later, hum! ”

At this time, Li Chouxin stood up, looked at everyone, and said with a smile, everyone, you have to remember what you just said, I am very sad and have a grudge, if you can't do it, I will help you fulfill it.

Splendid building in the middle of the splendid

Three cups of drink to exhaust the sorrows of life

If you are idle, you should go upstairs

But the annoyance is gone

As soon as Li Chouxin's poem came out, although it was not amazing, it was already dozens of times better than the people present. I saw that there was silence on the field, and the three people on the stage nodded again and again.

"A good idle person should go upstairs, but the annoyance is gone. Even I may not be able to write such a good sentence. Ouyang Qinglian praised.

Xie Zhaoling, who had not spoken for a long time, also said: "Indeed, looking back at life in the Splendid Building, borrowing wine to drown sorrows, waking up time has gone in vain, and the idle body is still downstairs, it is indeed a good poem!" Good poetry! ”

Siqing also praised again and again.

At this time, Li Chouxin looked at the few people who had just made a big statement, and they all didn't dare to look at each other with dodging eyes.

However, one of them got up, said to go, and walked straight out of the door, but he also talked about it. And the one who threatened to climb out by himself was still sitting on the seat at the moment as if nothing had happened, Li Chouxin walked up to him and said, "Brother Tai just said that he was going to climb out, why, he forgot it so quickly?" Do you need to help you? ”

The man stammered back: "This is Qianxiuzhai's poetry meeting, so I can't help you mess around." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Chouxin grabbed it and threw it towards the door, only to see the man stumble out of the door.

Seeing this, the guards on the side thought that Li Chou was going to make trouble, so he rushed up, but was persuaded to go back by Yu Liuli's look.

Li Chouxin returned to his seat, picked up the cup and had another cup.

Looking at Li Chouxin's appearance, Yu Liuli began to be a little curious, but still announced: "The winner of the first question is the sorrowful son, and at the same time, the sorrowful son will also get our one hundred taels of silver to buy the work. ”
