Chapter 57
The decoration of the painting boat is exquisite, and there are maidservants coming to serve, which is very different from the atmosphere of the examination on the previous big ship.
ββIn fact, the scholar who can pass the three levels and walk to the top of the painting boat is already considered a winner.
The Oiran would meet with them behind the beaded curtain to see who had the best poem to be the guest of honor.
There is also a mustard seed magic power in Sumeru, but it is a two-story small building in the painting cabin.
Upstairs hung a curtain of beaded beads with light and a little later, where Oiran appeared to talk to the scholars.
The downstairs is divided into ten tables, with various fine melons and fruits and refreshments, which are the seats of each person.
Ye Xingyuan casually found a place to sit down, and began to look around.
Fang Shuhan is not proficient in swordsmanship and has not passed the third level, so among the last ten people, there are no acquaintances except for Zhang Gongzi, so there is no idea of talking.
Therefore, Ye Xingyuan only ate some fruits at will, and at the same time quietly observed the situation of these maidservants on the painting boat.
"A pair of thief eyes, looking everywhere, really a womanizer!"
Ouyang Ziyu didn't know what Ye Xingyuan was going to do, he just thought that he was peeking at the woman's color, and he was quite disdainful.
Seeing Lu Wei again, he shook his head and said, "Cousin, cousin, a raccoon dog!"
Ye Xingyuan had long been accustomed to Ouyang Ziyu's desire to add sin, and knew that the best way was to turn a deaf ear.
After a while, I heard the ringing bell upstairs, and a red-clothed girl supported a slender figure behind the beaded curtain, and finally sat down in the center, and everyone knew that it was Ding Huakui coming.
"The little woman is just a willow posture, it is rare for everyone to carry love, gathered here, grateful. β
Ding Huakui's voice was gentle, and he blessed everyone, the shadow was full of shadows, and his posture was extremely graceful, and a few young people who were not old couldn't help but cheer.
Ding Huakui doesn't like to talk, and it's too much to say so many words in front of people, and if she doesn't speak at the moment, she will be endorsed by the red-clothed girl.
And the red-clothed girl looked around and said: "Since all the sons of the family have arrived, there is no need to waste time, my young lady wants to see your talents, please gentlemen!"
According to the rules, Oiran should also chat with a few winning scholars and talk about poetry and poetry to give life ideals, which can be regarded as a relationship for the future.
After all, Oiran still has to come out to do business, and he must be tactful in handling things, and he must not easily offend people.
But this Ding Oiran is abnormal, as if he is too lazy to pay attention to people, and his performance is quite high, which makes these scholars below very curious.
"I'm going to be ugly first!"
Oiran is in a hurry to start, and there are people who can't wait to get the first shot.
Zhang Gongzi seemed to be afraid that he would not be the first in the world, so he was the first to jump out and say that he would appear first.
Then Zhang Gongzi turned his head, glanced at Ye Xingyuan a few times, and then walked downstairs to the Oiran and arched his hand to the bead curtain, "Xiaosheng Zhang Ning, I want to see Oiran Fangze, so I am here to present a poem." β
Ding Huakui said softly: "I would like to hear Zhang Gongzi's masterpiece." β
Zhang Gongzi laughed, turned around proudly and chanted poetry loudly, "A branch of red dew condenses incense, ** Wushan is in vain." By asking who in the Fan Palace is like, the poor barbarian is leaning on new makeup!"
He shook the folding fan, paced the square steps, and just finished chanting the four lines of poetry in his mouth, and listened to the applause from below.
Many people thought that tonight was Ye Xingyuan's stage, but they didn't expect Zhang Gongzi, who is not usually famous for poetry, to suddenly have such a wonderful sentence!
The literati who can pass the three levels to get here are either the children of famous families, or they have real talents and real learning, and I can't hear the quality of this poem.
In this poem, two allusions are also used.
It is said that the barbarian is the most famous Nanban beauty in the past thousand years, the legend is that she has a slender waist and limbs, and her body is as light as a swallow, she can do the dance in the palm, and she is virtuous and virtuous, and she is loved by the lord of a small country in Nanban, and she is the queen.
It's a pity that the fame is too prosperous, and even the emperor of the Central Plains at that time also moved his mind, so he sent the second division general to the south, drove 100,000 troops to destroy his country, destroyed his temple, and plundered the beauty and returned.
The barbarian sparrow is beautiful, and sure enough, the emperor was fascinated at first sight, built a golden house and hid it, and specially built a fan palace to relieve his homesickness.
Immediately, everyone speculated that Zhang Gongzi didn't have this level on weekdays, and most of them were done in advance, right?
However, if you want to buy such clever poems, I am afraid that it will cost a lot, and the Zhang family can really afford it!
But considering the benefits of the wheel beads, the cost is totally worth it.
Except for Ye Xingyuan, everyone present will use this brain, but they can't find a suitable gunman, after all, good poetry is hard to find.
The Zhang family doesn't know where to invite the masters, with this wonderful word, maybe they have a chance to compete with Ye Xingyuan!
"Dog thief!
Ouyang Ziyu was furious, although she had a bad memory, she still hadn't forgotten what she had just seen in the afternoon.
These four sentences and twenty-eight characters are clearly poems written on the table by Ye Xingyuan with pig's trotters, why did this surnamed Zhang take the lead and take it for himself?
Ye Xingyuan remained silent, grabbed Ouyang Ziyu and sat down again, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impatient, this matter is also in my expectation." β
Since Zhang Gongzi got up, Lu Wei had been bowing his head uneasily, and he was even more startled when he heard Ouyang Ziyu shouting angrily.
Listening to Ye Xingyuan's words again, he was puzzled, raised his head and just made contact with Ye Xingyuan's eyes, and hurriedly turned his gaze away, not daring to look at Ye Xingyuan.
Ye Xingyuan leaned over and whispered to Lu Wei: "My good cousin, you really made a contribution, and you lost it to you selling my poem to someone surnamed Zhang." I don't blame you for that, but you have to spit out as much money as he gives you. β
Did Lu Wei betray Ye Xingyuan's poems?
Ouyang Ziyu was stunned, why wasn't Ye Xingyuan angry?
In her impression, Ye Xingyuan is not such a good-looking character, why is he so tolerant?
Lu Wei hurriedly took out the silver ticket from his arms and threw it to Ye Xingyuan like a hot potato, "I have no choice but to do so." Zhang Gongzi threatened to kill me, I didn't dare to resist"
Ye Xingyuan stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, "If you are afraid of him, you are not afraid of me?" Since the news of Mrs. Mo in my room spread, I suspect that you leaked it. Today, I'll let you see how much ability this boy has, you have to polish your eyes!"
Will it be counted?
Lu Wei was also confused, he was a child, Ye Xingyuan's poem was fresh and refined, interesting, and fragrant to read, it was definitely a good poem.
So when he sold it to Zhang Gongzi, the other party had no doubts, was ecstatic, and decided to use it before Ye Xingyuan at night.
Could it be that this unknown predecessor is the work of Ye Xingyuan who deliberately made a fool of himself to Zhang Gongzi?
But even if he can't see it, how can Zhang Gongzi and the people around him not see it?
Ye Xingyuan: What is the idea of this?
All the scholars around were applauding, but the people on the Oiran side who judged the quality of the poem were not very good-looking.
The old deacon changed his usual kind expression, his face was pale, and his teeth were clucking.
The maidservants standing around all raised their eyebrows, and some even had tears in their eyes.
The bead curtain in front of the Oiran was also trembling, and although she couldn't see the face of the Oiran, she could guess that she must be in a mood now.
What's going on?
Zhang Gongzi was also stunned, he had just received everyone's applause with satisfaction, and he thought that the Oiran should have praise, but he didn't expect that he was greeted by just silence.
In the end, it was the red-clothed girl ring next to Oiran who opened her mouth first, and pointed at Zhang Gongzi with apricot eyes wide and scolded: "What a thief! Dare to humiliate my young lady in person!"
What the?
Zhang Gongzi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and there was no problem in stuffing a duck egg.
I just "do"
A good poem, where is there a face-to-face humiliation?
What's going on?
A group of sturdy servants poured in from nowhere, and pushed Zhang Gongzi out.
Zhang Gongzi inadvertently turned around when he was struggling, and happened to see Ye Xingyuan's smiling expression, and he didn't have the anger after being plagiarized.
Zhang Gongzi had a vague realization in his heart that he was calculated by Ye Xingyuan, and there was definitely something wrong with this poem!
After that, Zhang Gongzi shouted a few words at Ye Xingyuan, but no one paid attention to him.
The sturdy servants pushed him out of the cabin with all their hands and feet, and if it weren't for the presence of his prince, they would have invited him to go down to the river to take a cold shower.
A group of scholars watched this scene, looking at each other for no understanding, Oiran was silent for a long time, as if he was barely suppressing his emotions, before he spoke leisurely, "Princes, forgive me, the concubine is a person from the Southern Barbarians, and the people don't know the etiquette, please Haihan." β
This year's Hanjiang Mansion Oiran turned out to be a barbarian?
The rest of the scholars all exclaimed slightly, this is big news.
It's also a shame that this Ding Oiran was kept secret, and he didn't leak any news at all, but he made Zhang Gongzi, who didn't know it, suffer a big loss.
The allusion of the barbarian sparrow is naturally a romantic affair for the Central Plains, and it is not surprising that there are many poems among the literati and scholars throughout the ages.
But for barbarians, especially those with hearts, it is clearly a shame that cannot be washed away for thousands of years.
mentioning the fan palace and the barbarian sparrow in front of the barbarian woman, this is really a face-to-face humiliation, Zhang Gongzi's fate can only be said to be self-inflicted, and the scholars can only smile bitterly.
As expected!
Ye Xingyuan verified the conjecture in his heart, and seeing Zhang Gongzi's ugliness can only be regarded as a bypassing gain.
Based on the information he received from Fang Shuhan and Mo Niangzi, he was ninety percent sure that Ding Huakui was a foreign barbarian, and her subordinates were so angry when they heard that Fan Gong and Barbarian Bird were so angry, which also meant that their identities were not simple.
If Miss Ding is really just a joker, then even if she is angry about this, she will not attack on the spot, and no matter how she is, she can't be rude to customers, especially customers like Fuzun Gongzi.
But even her servants and maids are so angry, it can be seen that their identity will never be as simple as a fireworks girl.
Is there really another purpose for entering the Central Plains?
