Chapter 167: Receiving an Invitation
When everyone was drinking, someone happened to send an invitation, saying that it was for the master of the Secret Capture Pavilion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Lord of the Lin Pavilion took it and laughed: "Stay in the capital for a few more days, and someone will send an invitation to the meeting, it seems that I am still the prestige of the Gu Hall Master who has shaken the capital, this is ostensibly to invite me, but in fact, I still want to meet you!"
He was slightly drunk, shook the invitation and said, "Brother Gu Xian, although you are famous in this mansion, you are young after all. Time is short, and no one in the capital knows your talent, like a pearl hidden in your bag. This time, let Brother Wei take you to see and see, and I can also see and see the literary world in the capital!"
The lord of the Lin Pavilion was unsatisfactory in the imperial examination in the capital that year. Although he is also famous, he was not angry and did not get into the exam, so he had to go back. Now as soon as I arrived in the capital, an invitation was delivered, which was a bit of a puff.
Gu Ziyao also knew a little bit about the Lin Pavilion Lord, and now he just wanted to find an opportunity to ask for the spiritual energy holy object with peace of mind. I wasn't interested in anything else, so I shook my head and said, "Since I wasn't invited to this Wenhui, I won't go, and the seniors will go by themselves." ”
The lord of the Lin Pavilion was drunk, and saw that the invitation was actually from the Mu Mansion, and he was even more proud, and said: "Brother Xian, don't blame the brother for not bringing you, this is the banquet of the Mu Mansion to enjoy the flowers, probably to see the famous scholars in the capital." ”
Since Mu Million wanted to recruit a son-in-law with great fanfare some time ago, it was impossible not to make preliminary preparations, at least to find out the situation of the scholars in the capital, and then he could have a target after the test.
Gu Ziyao was still not interested in this matter, and said two more perfunctory sentences. As he was talking, he suddenly saw the Lin Pavilion Master's face collapse. Because on the invitation, the Pavilion Lord saw a name that he hated the most.
"How dare this person ask me out?" The Lin Pavilion Lord gritted his teeth, angrily put the invitation on the wine table, and sneered: "I can't imagine that I haven't seen him for a few years, he has become a guest in the Mu Mansion, it really pollutes my eyes!
Gu Ziyao was stunned, looked down, and saw that the name was "Li Xin" written on the invitation, but she didn't know what kind of person it was, so that the Lin Pavilion Lord hated it so much?
Listening to the description of the Pavilion Lord, this person seems to be about the same age as the Pavilion Lord, and his marital status is "widowed".
Lin Meng probably knew the inside story, and hurriedly persuaded: "Daddy, calm your anger, I heard that since you left the capital, Li Xin's reputation in the capital has become more and more famous in the past few years, and he can be regarded as a famous provincial city." Mu Million is a vassal and elegant, and often holds him, and the post of this flower-viewing party is also sent by him. ”
Mu Million is a businessman after all, and although he is rich, he is almost forced to mix in the literary and artistic circles. If Li Xin is a well-known talent in the provincial capital, he will send the invitation on his behalf, and the style of this article will be much more elegant.
"He has the courage to invite me now, and he doesn't want to take it alone?"
At the beginning, Li Xin competed with him Lin Zhenyuan, and suffered several defeats, so he has been secretly using small means to exclude the Lin Pavilion Master from the capital's literary and artistic circle.
Therefore, the Lin Pavilion Lord didn't quite understand, this time Li Xin had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he actually dared to take the initiative to invite him? He picked up the invitation again, looked at it carefully, and suddenly let out a cry, and suddenly his face was full of sadness.
What's the matter? Gu Ziyao leaned over and couldn't help but laugh dumbly when she saw the theme of this meeting. It is no wonder that the lord of the Lin Pavilion has changed from complacent to depressed, this time the article is not about poetry, but about the study of the world, and even the current literature of the imperial examination. And Lin Dacai is good at wind and snow and literature and painting, and he is not very good at those, and he has abandoned economics for many years, so he is now in the stage of grinding guns, reviewing hard, and recovering strength.
No wonder the enemy family will kindly invite Tang Dacai to the meeting, there is no good banquet and no good meeting!
Gu Ziyao was quite speechless about this, she didn't expect that when she first arrived in your realm, someone would immediately come to the door, and it was not the officialdom of the capital that she was worried about before, but it was a romantic debt left by the Lord of the Lin Pavilion. Sure enough, it was the villain's revenge, from morning till night.
After a sigh, Gu Ziyao said: "This Li Xin is obviously prepared, and he wants to give his seniors a dismount." Since this is the case, I accompanied my seniors to participate in the literary meeting to make a strong appearance. ”
Originally, Gu Ziyao didn't want to go, he just wanted to complete his purpose in a low-key manner, and he didn't want to show his head. Similar to this kind of literary meeting, as long as he doesn't find his head by name, he will definitely push it.
But to be a man, you always have to talk about righteousness, the Lord of the Lin Pavilion can be regarded as a friend, and he has always taken good care of himself. Seeing his friend in trouble, standing by is not his Gu Ziyao's style.
The Lord of the Lin Pavilion was greatly moved, shook his head and said: "The virtuous brother is a righteous person, and he is worthy of the name of 'Timely Zhuge 'in the heart of the Secret Capture Pavilion, but they didn't invite you, why should they go with Brother Wei to embarrass people? So there is no need to bother you." ”
Damn! Gu Ziyao couldn't help but complain a few words, how could he be "embarrassed" if he was kind enough to help? But looking at the expression of the Lin Pavilion Master, Gu Ziyao suddenly figured it out, no wonder he didn't believe in himself.
Although he Gu Ziyao has outstanding achievements, he rarely shows his pen and ink talent, and he usually cherishes himself and rarely writes articles.
Moreover, when Gu Ziyao interacted with the Lin Pavilion Lord, he only talked about Fengyue and did not talk about the current strategy, and in the Lin Pavilion Lord's heart, he still classified Gu Ziyao as a literary and artistic talent, and he didn't think how good Gu Ziyao was at writing papers.
Therefore, the Lin Pavilion Lord didn't know what Gu Ziyao's level of current literature was, and of course, few people in the entire capital knew about it. At this time, of course, I was worried that Gu Ziyao would be "embarrassed" by herself.
However, how did this nickname of "Timely Zhuge Matter" reach the ears of the Lord of the Lin Pavilion? That was taken by the soldiers of the Secret Capture Pavilion when they discussed in private, Gu Ziyao smiled bitterly, and only said: "Senior, the so-called three stinkers, race Zhuge Liang, one person counts the short, the other counts the long, and we go together." If you encounter any problems, you can also discuss them with each other. ”
The Lin Pavilion Lord sighed, "Having said that, the virtuous brother doesn't know that Li Xin is tricky. In this meeting, we must be deliberately targeted. I can't wait to prevent it, so I'll just leave it at that. ”
He turned his head to the guy who came in with the invitation: "Please tell Master Mu that Lin Zhenyuan only arrived in the capital today, and he was tired of traveling." I'm a little tired and plan to rest for a few days. I don't want to go to this article, thank you for your kindness on my behalf. ”
The messenger nodded and said: "Pavilion Master Lin doesn't have to worry, the master specially left a message, saying that if Pavilion Master Lin doesn't dare to go, then there is no need to go, Mr. Li Xin Li will explain to Master Mu." ”
