Chapter 13: A Reluctant Decision

Hua Manting stood outside the Yanyu Pavilion, watching Li Chen'an exercise with interest with his hands behind his back.

Su Muxin, who was dressed in green clothes, stood behind him with a bookcase on his back, and he was very puzzled by his teacher's early morning coming to the shore of Huaping Lake.

But he didn't dare to ask.

In fact, this is not the first time Hua Manting has seen Li Chenan.

Since he read the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" on the third day of March and knew that the poem was written by Li Chenan, he remembered this name in his heart.

With his erudition, he knew that this word had never appeared, that is, it was the first time that this word appeared on Miss Zhonglisan's painting boat.

On the evening of the second day, he met with Ning Chuchu, and was entrusted by Ning Chuchu to persuade Li Wenhan to return the Shen family's marriage certificate, and at the same time, he also knew that Li Chenan was indeed Li Wenhan's eldest son.

He was naturally strange, so on the fifth day of the third month, that is, the day before yesterday, he took Su Muxin to Erjinggou Alley and stood under the big banyan tree at the east end and watched for a while.

Li Chenan was talking to the craftsmen in the shop, and he didn't notice that there was an old man and a young man outside.

Su Muxin didn't know what the teacher was looking at, and then the two went to the Qianmo Academy.

This encounter this morning was indeed not intentional by Hua Manting, he came here just to revisit his hometown, and it was purely a chance encounter with Li Chenan.

At this moment, Li Chenan also finished the basic movements, sweating profusely, his muscles were very sore, he turned around with a grin, and saw the white flowers in the court.

"You are Li Chen'an?"

Li Chenan was stunned, he didn't expect this old man to know him, he nodded and grinned: "It was Li Chenan who was born later, and the old man looked a little ......?"

"Ah, the old man is full of flowers, and he knows your father. ”

Li Chenan was stunned, and this name came to his mind, this old man is the head of the Tai Academy, and he is a great Confucian!

His mind turned in an instant, this old man is full of peach and plums all over the world, if the plaque of his tavern is nominated by this old man, or if the tavern can hang a picture of this old man, wouldn't the style of the tavern immediately go up a notch?

Thinking of this, he had the idea that he had to get close to the old man, and he had to ask for his old man's ink treasure before the tavern opened.

"It turned out to be Mr. Hua, the kid has eyes and doesn't know Taishan!"

Saying this, Li Chenan bowed and saluted, "I have heard that the old man has lived in Kyoto for a long time, and he has admired him for a long time, but the kid has not left this Guangling City, although his heart yearns for it, he can't do it for the time being." ”

"When I went out, I heard the magpies chirping in the tree, and I wondered what good things I could do today, but I met the boss here, which is really the luck of the boy's three lives!"

As soon as Li Chen'an's words came out, Hua Manting was stunned for a moment, thinking that this kid is articulate and has a lotus flower, where does it look like the stupid appearance of the fourth princess!

Originally, Hua Manting was very interested in Li Chenan, but when Li Chenan said this at this moment, he simply borrowed the donkey from the slope to learn more about Li Chenan.

The two foxes, one old and one young, each made up their own minds.

So, he stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "I have lived in Kyoto for a long time and have a little light taste, and Guangling Spring is good, so I came here to have a look." If the virtuous nephew is fine, why don't we go and sit in the smoke and rain pavilion for a while?"

In Li Chen'an's arms, he stretched out his hand and said, "Boss, please!"

Hua Manting is in front, Li Chenan is behind, and Su Muxin, who was ignored by Li Chenan, is at the end.

The three of them entered the Yanyu Pavilion, Hua Manting and Li Chenan sat opposite each other, and Su Muxin stood honestly behind Hua Manting.

Li Chenan thought he was a family member of Hua Manting, because he was young, still wearing green clothes, and carrying a bookcase.

"On the third day of junior high school, the literary meeting held by the third lady of Zhongli Mansion on the painting screen lake, almost all the students of Guangling City gathered, why didn't you come?"

Hua Manting went straight to the point and asked such a question.

"The kid just has something to do, and the Zhongli Mansion kid can't climb high. ”

"Oh......" Hua Manting sighed meaningfully, and asked, "Then do you know what the final result of that meeting will be?"

"The boss doesn't believe it, the kid has been very busy these days, and he really hasn't paid attention to it, if the boss knows, please tell the kid. ”

Hua Manting stroked his long beard, and said with his eyebrows: "That literary meeting is very interesting, and there are many excellent poems, among which there is a poem called "Butterfly Loves Flowers", have you heard of it?"

Li Chenan was stunned, thinking that the handsome boy really handed over the poem, and he didn't know if he won the top spot in the end.

He was curious, "The boy hasn't heard of it yet." ”

Hua Manting looked at Li Chen'an, pretending, you kid pretended to be quite like that!

He recited the poem, and Li Chenan's face was still unshocked.

"What do you think of this song?"

"Ah...... You alright. ”

He instinctively humbled himself, but he didn't expect that these words would not be very comfortable in the ears of Su Muxin, who didn't know-

What do you mean by okay?

This is a word that teachers are full of!

This kid really doesn't know how thick the sky is!

So, Su Muxin spoke, and there was naturally a hint of mockery in his tone: "So Brother Li can make better words than this one?"

"Ah, this ......"

Li Chen'an's mind turned in an instant, if he wanted to get Hua Manting's approval, he couldn't hide it, he had to show his hand in front of him.

This poem was sent by the handsome boy, and the flower boss didn't know that he had written it, so making another song would not affect the reputation of the handsome boy.

In addition, the stupid character of the original owner also needs to be changed, after all, no one wants to deal with a fool more.

"Since this brother has this request, I will recite a song casually, and please don't laugh at the old man. ”

Hua Manting was suddenly overjoyed, thinking that you little fox's tail can't be hidden!

If Li Chenan can really make another comparable poem in front of him, it is enough to show that Li Chenan is a person of true knowledge.

As for the rumors, even his father's words, after all, what he sees is true at this moment.

Su Muxin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this kid to be so thick-skinned, thinking that even he and Qi Zhixue couldn't surpass the words, this kid was unashamed to say that he could recite a song casually...... He laughed, this is the fearlessness of the ignorant!

At this moment, two more people came outside the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.

Li Chen'an's eyes lit up, one of them was the handsome man who bought his own lyrics, and the other was an extremely beautiful girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl was as weak as a willow, her little face was as bright as jade, her thin eyebrows were like smoke, and her eyes seemed to have spring water flowing between them.

Judging from Li Chen'an's countless experience in reading women in his previous life, the beauty of that girl can really be called a shy flower and a sunken fish and a goose!

Just as Li Chenan was looking at Zhongli Ruoshui, Ning Chuchu winked at Hua Manting and Su Muxin.

The two walked into the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.

Li Chenan also moved his gaze to Ning Chuchu.

"Childe is good!"

"Brother, it's good!"

"Why does Childe have time to come here today?"

"It's all because this smoke and rain pavilion is the best to watch the spring color of Huaping Lake. ”

Ning Chuchu's lies blurted out, and she also pretended to be curious and asked Li Chenan: "Why is Brother Tai here?"

Ning Chuchu didn't mention the word of buying, of course Li Chenan would not reveal the bottom of the buyer.

"When I ran in the morning, I happened to meet Mr. Hua...... This boss is the famous flower boss of our Ningguo!"

Ning Chuchu acted in a full set, she turned her head to look at Hua Manting, and bowed: "It turned out that Lord Hua was on top, and I looked up for a long time!"

Hua Manting didn't know which one they were playing, and thought about it, probably because he didn't want Li Chenan to know their true identities, so he also returned the salute: "I dare not be a ...... Just now, Lao Yu and this little brother were chatting about poetry, and Lao Yu thought that the song "Butterfly Love Flower" born on the third day of junior high school was already a subversive existence today, and this little brother said that it was okay...... So my student asked this guy to compose a song as well. ”

"It seems that the two of you are also from the scholarly family, why don't you share the same product?"

are all acting, only Li Chenan is kept in the dark.

Zhongli Ruoshui and Ning Chuchu didn't expect Li Chen'an to compose another song, they came only because Zhongli Ruoshui wanted to come.

She said she wanted to take a closer look at Li Chenan.

At this moment, when they heard that there was such a good thing, of course the two of them were willing.

Zhongli Ruoshui's gaze had already fallen on Li Chenan's face.

Hey, this guy is obviously very handsome!

The sword eyebrows and starry eyes and nose are like hanging gall, and the temples are like a knife...... Especially the charm inadvertently revealed in those eyes, it really doesn't look like a seventeen or eighteen year old, and there is a breathtaking taste in the flash.

At this moment, he can still calmly compose lyrics in front of Hua Lao Ru - his face is not red and his heart is not beating, either he is too thick-skinned, or he does have great skills.

She glanced back at Ning Chuchu, fortunately this girl came to see, otherwise she really thought that he was not good-looking.

How did Li Chenan know that the person in front of him was the famous Zhongli Ruoshui.

He just wanted to get Hua Manting's approval and asked him to write a word or two for his tavern.

What words do you want to compose and copy now in order to startle Mr. Hua and make the deepest impression on him?

He stood up, walked two steps, and came to the fence of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion and looked at the early morning picture screen lake.

The appearance seems a little profound to Zhongli Ruoshui.

Even Ning Chuchu was frightened by that back.

Hua Manting's old eyes were looking forward to it, but Su Muxin laughed shamefully in his heart, this person has an onion in his nose - pretending to be an elephant!

At this moment, Li Chenan suddenly turned around.

He glanced at everyone with a smile on his face, "There you have!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned, so soon?

Ning Chuchu was shocked, thinking that he was afraid that it was what he had done in the past, but it didn't matter.

Hua Manting's face also showed a hint of surprise, "Please also ask the little brother to recite!"

Li Chenan flicked his sleeves, "This word is called "Green Apricots, Wind and Rain for Flowers", and please judge the boss!"

He paced slowly, and recited the poem out of his mouth:

"The wind and rain are sorrowful for the flowers.

After the wind and rain, the flowers should also rest.

Persuade the gentleman not to be drunk before the flower,

This year's flowers, next year's flowers, white heads.

Take two or three ou.

The benefits of picking up the brook mountain are chasing.

But there is nothing to teach to drink and have nothing to do,

Whether there are flowers or no flowers, choose very spring and autumn. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhongli Ruoshui immediately felt an open-mindedness rushing to his face.

The look on Hua Manting's face suddenly tightened, he looked at Li Chen'an, and suddenly a sense of realization suddenly appeared in his heart-

He stood up, straightened his sleeves, and bowed to Li Chen'an.

Li Chen'an hurriedly dodged away, but Hua Manting said: "I heard the word little brother, old and decaying...... Shame!"

Ning Chuchu was shocked.

Su Muxin looked at Li Chen'an in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief!

Of course, Li Chenan accepted it when he saw it.

He bowed to Hua Manting and said apologetically: "Xiaosheng still has something to do at home, I don't know where the old man lives temporarily? ”

"My brother is waiting for my little brother to come to the Light Ink Academy today!"

"Xiaosheng doesn't dare to be, at dusk, see you or leave. ”

"Okay, brother, I'll wait for you!"
