Chapter 31: Gathering and Drinking

Xu Xian felt a little bored, and went out alone to find a secluded visit, which was considered a distraction, but when he encountered such a thing, he didn't know it would come. It's just that now I have to borrow someone's boat to go back, so I'll just make up a seat. said: "I'm bothered." "Just pick a corner and sit down.

Jin Shengjie refused to let him go, "I came to Hangzhou and invited celebrities all over the place, but I heard that Brother Xu's family lives in Qiantang, so I didn't invite you." Today is really a great fate, I will toast you first. ”

Xu Xian didn't say much, and drank with a smile.

Jin Shengjie smiled and said, "It's your turn now." ”

Xu Xian said strangely: "What is my turn?"

"Poetry, I said before the banquet that if you want to enter the table, you must first have a poem about the feast, which is based on this heavy snow. And there can't be a snow word in the poem. Xu Gongzi is talented, there must be no problem!" Jin Shengjie is intent on taking a test for Xu Xian, just eat and drink when the banquet is held, and where to chant what opening poems. The people next to him didn't tear him down, just watched the excitement from the sidelines.

Xu Xian sighed in his heart: I know.

didn't push back, and said: "The poem is coming." The people at the table were surprised, although this question could not be said to be extremely difficult, but it did not come like this, and Jin Shengjie was also curious about what poems this Xu Immortal could sing.

Xu Xian played with the cup in his hand, and said with a strange smile on his face: "On the lake, there are black holes on the well, the yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen. ”

"Hahaha" Everyone burst into laughter, there is no first in the text, no second in the martial arts. Which of the people here is convinced by Xu Xian, the head of the four little talents in Jiangnan. Seeing him coming, the arrogant and unruly Jin Gongzi was so polite, and Xia Ziqi was not the only one who was dissatisfied in his heart. At this time, he didn't laugh out loud and let out this evil breath.

Xu Xian played with the wine glass in his hand, looked at everyone's laughing faces, and looked boredly at the snowflakes outside the pavilion. The world is vast, this laughing person, compared with it, is not worth mentioning, he himself is not aware of it, a sense of indifference spreads in his heart, and gradually penetrates into the bone marrow.

"Okay!" broke the laughter with a loud shout, and Jin Shengjie slammed the table, startling everyone. "There is no word in the snow, the snow is full of meaning, and he is witty and wise, not vulgar, Brother Xu is really talented. ”

Xu Xianxin said: This Jin Shengjie has some talents. The poem he chanted can be regarded as the originator of limerick poetry, although it is not based on the plain, but it can be passed down through the ages enough to prove its value. At this moment, he just arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Seeing everyone drinking and laughing, Xu Xian couldn't help but think of Pan Yu, but now the protagonist has been replaced by this Jin Shengjie. It's just that he doesn't have Mingyu's round and wishful thinking, and everyone feels like a spring breeze, but he is crazy and wanton, like a thorn on his body. Although he is good at laughing, he always doesn't estimate the feelings of others in his jokes, but with a few bursts of laughter, the atmosphere is very hot.

However, he and Pan Yu have one thing in common, everyone wants to scold him. The Great Xia Dynasty did not suppress business, but encouraged it, although the status of merchants could not be higher than that of scholars, but it was only secondary. Jin Wancheng, the richest man in Jiangnan, is not just an ordinary businessman, and collusion between officials and businessmen is not a word that has only been coined in modern times.

A group of men, even if they are scholars, chatting together and having a drink, the topic always involuntarily turns to that aspect. Talking about the Scoop Chronicle prostitute, oh, in their words, it is a sleeping flower and a willow, and their faces are flushed with excitement.

Xia Ziqi said: "Brother Jin, the younger brother has heard the name of Yangzhou Shiyan for a long time, you must have tasted them one by one!"

Another red-faced scholar Ying He said: "It's not just Shiyan, don't you hear that even Miss Su Wansu, the Oiran of Yangzhou last year, became a person in Brother Jin's room, I heard that Brother Jin didn't participate in this first snow test for this reason, if you participate." He wanted to say, "He is the first genius in Jiangnan." But he was still worried that this word would reach Pan Yu, so he froze there, and then said with a wit: "Set on the four little talents." ”

Jin Shengjie blinked and said jokingly: "I'm afraid I'm the head of the four little talents in Jiangnan!"

Xu Xian, the current head of the four little talents in Jiangnan, burst out laughing.

Xia Ziqi immediately asked: "Why is Brother Xu laughing? Jin Gongzi's talent is something we all admire." ”

Xu Xian shook his head with a smile and said, "I have no intention of making fun of Brother Jin, but I suddenly remembered something." ”

Jin Shengjie was curious: "What's the matter?" He is so witty, and he is more interested in interesting things than poetry.

Xu Xian coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said: "The wasp and the rat bow down, please go over to make an alliance, and as a last resort, be listed as a third person." My friend asked me, "How can I be listed under the rats?"

Jin Shengjie received it with great interest: "Why?"

"One of the two of them can drill and the other can stab. I had to let them go. ”

Jin Shengjie immediately let out laughter, and Xia Ziqi and the red-faced Xiucai were full of shame and glared at Xu Xian fiercely. Xu Xian didn't care, poured himself a drink, and drank it slowly.

Others said: "Brother Jin has been lingering in Yangzhou for a long time, and now he is coming to Hangzhou, I don't know how the scenery is, and which is better or worse than Hangzhou?"

Jin Shengjie thought about it, and seemed to be nostalgic for the original Fengliu time, with an intoxicated look on his face: "A daughter buys a smile, and sings every night." Or buy a drunk dream tonight, or write lyrics and sing with Sakuraguchi, it's really heaven. Although this Hangzhou is called a paradise on earth, it is nothing more than those green mountains and green waters, which are much worse than the scenery of Yangzhou. I'm just afraid that this Caifeng girl is also famous, but it's actually difficult to deserve!"

Everyone here is from Hangzhou, the more ancient times, the inconvenient transportation, the stronger the regional concept. Hearing Jin Shengjie say this, he was all pale and dismissive, but no one refuted it, and he was a little cold for a while.

But I heard a person chanting: "Zong Cardamom resigns, Qinglou dreams well, and it is difficult to be affectionate." Xu Xian was shaking his head and making a lamentation.

Jin Shengjie was startled, and was about to say something, but he heard the little girl in Tsing Yi shout: "Miss Caifeng has arrived." ”

Everyone straightened up and looked, and sure enough, a painting boat came in the snow and came to a halt on the shore. A woman in Tsing Yi came out and said, "It's snowing outside, please get on board." ”

Jin Shengjie said with a smile: "This Caifeng girl's shelf is very big, it seems that our banquet is going to change three times." ”

Xu Xian stood up and said, "Jin Gongzi, I won't go, and borrow your boat to send me back!"

Jin Shengjie came to grab Xu Xian and said: "How is it good, listening to your three words, it is extremely subtle, I have to ask for advice again!"

"There are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation in more than half a sentence. "Xu Xian and this group of people basically don't talk and speculate, but this Jin Shengjie, who is full of edges, is still a little more interesting. But I didn't want to join in the fun, so I persevered. Jin Shengjie had to order his boatman to send Xu Xian to the shore, but Xu Xian was just about to board the boat, but he stopped him.

Looking back, Jin Shengjie squeezed his eyebrows and teased his eyes, "There are poems that enter the seat, and there are naturally poems that leave the seat, if Brother Xu can chant it, it will be natural to stop, if he can't chant, I will immediately let my boat sail away, and you have to finish this banquet with me." ”

Xu Xian knew that this gentleman was twisting, and it was really nine cows that couldn't pull it back, "How do you want to chant?"

Jin Shengjie said with a smile: "Since you said that this Hangzhou is good, you will take this Hangzhou as the theme, and I have to be satisfied." But I don't embarrass you, if you can't say a word, I'll let you go. "With Hangzhou poetry, anyone can come, but it is really difficult to satisfy him. And the literati have a good name, and they can't chant Hangzhou, which is really ugly.

Xu Xian hesitated for a while, and the scholars who were waiting to board the painting boat were impatient, but Jin Shengjie, who was the east, was not on the painting boat, how could they get on, and it would cost a lot of money to invite Caifeng's painting boat.

Caifeng asked through the curtain in the painting boat, "Qingluan, why haven't they come up yet, do you want me to invite them?"

Qingluan turned his face and whispered: "Miss, it's that cheating Xu Xian, what about people forcing him to recite poetry? Let's wait first, I'll see how he is embarrassed." Her resentment towards Pan Yu and Xu Xian was quite deep.

Xu Xian thought for a while and smiled: "Poetry can't be chanted." Taking advantage of Jin Shengjie's stunned moment, he broke free of his hand and jumped on the boat.

Jin Shengjie said with a gloomy face: "That's it, that's it, send this mundane thing away." So he ordered the boatman to sail. Qingluan clapped his hands and smiled: "Sure enough, it's a straw bag." ”

The boat slowly sailed away, and Xu Xian stood on the deck and said with a smile: "There is a song. ”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but be drawn to him again. Xia Ziqi couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Xu Xian for the first time, although Xu Xian was frank at that time, it didn't leave much impression on him.

The figure in the wind and snow has become so flying.

"The southeast shape wins, the three Wu capitals, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. Cloud trees surround the embankment. The angry waves roll frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious.

Heavy lakes are stacked on top of each other. There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the drums and enjoy the smoke and haze. It is said that the picture will be good and return to Fengchikua. ”

The sound of chanting reached everyone's ears through the wind and snow, and the man on the boat saw the distance in the sound of the wind and snow and the chanting, and finally vaguely saw him disappear into the bow of the boat.
