Jianghu Xiaobai Chapter 33 Lijiang Poetry Club
Early the next morning, when the guards of the Su family downstairs were about to start patrolling, they saw that their "young master" got up earlier than them, and after instructing a steward to prepare something, he ordered that it was strictly forbidden to disturb him.
It is said that before the start of the Lijiang Poetry Meeting, all the guards are strictly forbidden to go upstairs, because he has to prepare poems for the poetry meeting, and he wants to use the poems he writes to win a jackpot.
After hearing this, all the guards had a strange look on their faces, they couldn't be clearer about what kind of virtue their young master was, if they wanted to talk about bullying men and women, the young master was an expert, let him write poems, it would be a little difficult for him.
But even so, they didn't dare to disobey the little prince's order, so they could only watch their young master not go out for a day upstairs.
Although they talked a lot, no one dared to go up and disturb him, which is why the little prince of the Su family was not a good thing on weekdays, and these guards were afraid of him so that Lei Luo did not show his feet.
......
A few days later, the annual poetry meeting of Lijiang County was held on the banks of the Lijiang River in anticipation of the scribe students.
At this time of the year, the Li River is very lively, especially at night, when the lights are on, the entire Li River is full of red lanterns, and the beautiful painting boats in the river are also dotted with lights, heading towards the center of the Li River.
If you look down on the entire center of the Li River to the coast from a high place, the entire Li River seems to be a night sky dotted with stars, dazzling and gorgeous.
The person in charge of presiding over this Lijiang poetry meeting is the largest gathering place of scribes in the entire Lijiang County, Jile Building, which together with several surrounding buildings has another name, called Qinglou.
Legend has it that this building has a great background, and the black and white dishes in the entire Lijiang River can be eaten, and even the Bai family and the Su family will give face to this building, and the scale of the green building is also the largest in Lijiang County.
The venue of this poetry meeting, the Bliss Building, is ingenious, not arranged in their building, but prepared a huge painting boat on the water surface of the Li River.
At this time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and small and exquisite painting boats loaded with Kabuki girls and literati were heading towards the center of the Li River, where a giant painting boat of sixty or seventy zhang in size was parked.
The boat is not only huge, but also resplendent inside, there are three floors of pavilions above the deck alone, each floor is hung with red lanterns, and from time to time there are women dressed in light veils and colorful bodies singing and dancing, like a fairyland on earth.
Lei Luo was on the bank of the Li River at this time, looking at the literati and artists around him, drinking and fighting from time to time, he sighed and sighed.
"If I didn't practice martial arts at the beginning, but found a academy in Lijiang City to study, I don't know if I would have achieved fame in the exam, and then seek a half-official position to become a parent official?"
"Young Master, aren't you ready to get on the boat, haven't you always been the first to arrive in the past?"
"The person who is waiting for Ben Shao has not yet appeared, don't worry, besides, this kind of big scene, naturally the person who appears in the finale is the most powerful," Lei Luo said arrogantly.
He was afraid that he would show some flaws, so he tried to act as realistically as possible, and after finishing speaking, he looked around, as if he was waiting for someone.
The steward is also a little curious, who is his young master waiting for, you must know that this little master loves to join in the fun, and the Lijiang Poetry Club is held every year, according to the past, his own young master must have been unable to hold back for a long time.
According to last year's situation, his young master may have been drinking and flirting with those geisha at this time, but he is just a steward, and he can't decide what this little prince wants to do.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a group of people came out of the street, and the first to appear were five men in silver brocade robes, and these men had a white jade waist plate hanging from their waists.
Behind these silver-robed men were followed by several young men in gorgeous clothes, and behind the young men, dozens of black-uniformed guards followed.
Looking at these familiar clothes, Lei Luo muttered quietly, "It's finally here!" and then greeted him with a smile.
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Bai to travel, he is still so in such a position!" Lei Luo strode forward, walked towards the group of centaurs, and shouted loudly as he approached.
When the Bai family guards heard someone shouting their young master, they were secretly on guard, especially the silver-robed guards surrounded Baiyun Peak in case of accidents, but when they saw the comer, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all made way for the comers.
"Brother Su, why didn't you go to the Jiangzhong Painting Boat and come to me instead?" Bai Yunfeng also wondered, this little prince of the Su family and himself are not so familiar with each other.
"Brother Bai has seen the outside, how do you know that Su Mou is here, not to discuss important matters with you?" Lei Luo sold a Guan Zi Dao.
"You have something important to discuss with me, Brother Su, don't be joking, you and I don't communicate much on weekdays, this poetry meeting may still be a competitor, what can you discuss?"
Bai Yunfeng was curious in his heart, if ordinary people were so entangled with him, maybe he would ask the guards to blow him away, but the other party's identity and background were not under him, and the Su Bai family had no grievances, so he could only listen patiently, and he couldn't be too nonsense.
"I'm going to sell it here, why don't you and I take a painting boat together and talk on the river, after all, there are many people here, it's not a good place to discuss what I'm going to talk about next," Lei Luo said mysteriously after looking around.
"A few of you, hurry up and prepare the boat, I have something important to discuss with the sons of the Bai family today," and then Lei Luo instructed the steward of the Su family behind him.
The stewards were ordered to get ready and began to prepare, and in a short time a beautiful painting boat sailed to the shore.
Seeing this, the Bai family guards didn't know how to act, they could only look at Bai Yunfeng, and when they saw their young master nodding at them, they stood silently on both sides of the other party to guard.
"Since Brother Su has this Yaxing, Bai Mou will accompany him," Bai Yunfeng wanted to see what the other party was going to say to him, so he agreed, and at the same time commanded the Bai family behind him.
The Su family's guard steward and the Bai family's guards got on the boat together, Lei Luo and Bai Yunfeng and the Bai family's sons stood in front of the boat and talked, and the guards were on guard around the boat in case there were problems on the side of the boat.
"Brother Bai, the annual poetry meeting of the Lijiang River is the flourishing era of literati in the entire Lijiang County, even the Jinshan County, the state pastoral capital, has celebrity scribes visiting to participate, I don't know how sure you are about winning the championship this time?" Lei Luo asked after seeing everyone in the Bai family sitting down, raising his glass to Baiyun Peak.
At the annual poetry meeting of the Li River, the Bliss Building will invite an Oiran, when the poetry of the literati students can overwhelm the others, then this student can win the championship and spend a good night with the Oiran, so many students come not only for the name, but also for the championship.
Bai Yunfeng's words, then it must be for the Oiran, if you want to say that he wants to use poetry skills to dominate the crowd, there are really not many people who believe this, at least Lei Luo doesn't believe it.
"Don't worry about Brother Lao Su, my brother went to the capital of Dongyue before, and specially asked for a poem for me from the bachelor of the national academy, the words are exquisite, in my opinion, I should be able to win the first place," Bai Yunfeng was prepared, and took out a brocade book and said proudly.
"I don't know if I can let the little brother take a look," Lei Luo was a little curious, the other party was really prepared.
At the same time, he was even more speechless about this Bai Yunfeng, he actually wanted to use such opportunistic tricks to deceive the talent of the Lijiang Poetry Society, wouldn't he be afraid of revealing his stuffing!
"Since Brother Su wants to see it, then I can naturally give you a look, but this poem was begged by Bai, Brother Su still doesn't want to be a villain," Bai Yunfeng warned, and then handed the brocade book to Lei Luo.
"Su understands," Lei Luo chuckled after taking it.
He opened the brocade book and found that this poem was solemn, revealing a way of being an official and upright between the lines, which was very inconsistent with the artistic conception of this poetry meeting, and it was strange that this kind of poetry could win the championship!
Lei Luo frowned and returned the brocade book to Bai Yunfeng, "Brother Bai, I don't know if you have seen this poem in person?" and then asked with a strange face.
"I haven't read it yet, what, isn't this poem bad?" Bai Yunfeng looked at Lei Luo and frowned, a little strange.
Since the other party's face was a little wrong, he also hurriedly opened the brocade book and began to read it, but the more he looked at it, the worse his face became, and he was a little uncertain in the back.
"Su knows that Brother Bai wants to win the championship, but this time the poetry meeting will be held on the Li River, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival and the full moon festival at this time, but your poem has no water, no moon, and no beauty, you said that this poem was written by you on the spot, do you think I believe it, will others believe it?" Lei Luo teased.
"You, you, do you have the heart to see Bai's joke!" After seeing the content of the poem, Bai Yunfeng's face was ugly, and at this time, Lei Luo's teasing also made him scold him fiercely.
"How dare you, I want to help Brother Bai win the championship, and this time I specially prepared a second word for you, come on, present the word!" Seeing Bai Yunfeng's ugly face, Lei Luo's face did not fluctuate, and he commanded the steward behind him.
After a while, a steward handed over a golden brocade book to Lei Luo, and he also politely handed the brocade book to Bai Yunfeng, with a confident look on his face that satisfied you.
"Brother Su, you prepared it for me, when does Bai need to worry about Brother Su, you come to worry about me!" Bai Yunfeng's face was full of disbelief at first, but when he opened the brocade book and took a look, his eyes widened and he looked shocked.
"This, this word, this!" he stammered a little as he spoke excitedly.
I saw that on the brocade book that Lei Luo handed over to Bai Yunfeng, there were four words written "Water Tune Song Head", as follows:
When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky.
I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace.
...... (Quoting Su Shi's work "Water Tune Song Head, When Will the Bright Moon Be There")
"I don't know if Brother Bai is still satisfied with the poem that Su prepared for you?" After seeing Bai Yunfeng and the Bai family disciples behind him all looking at the brocade book in their hands with a dull expression, Lei Luo's face was even more teasing.
