Chapter 132: The Tongue Is Fast
Today's Peach Blossom Banquet, although it was hosted by Mu Million, he was relieved to regard himself as a human flesh set board. Except for the first toast, he did not speak, as if he had the gist of his mouth.
Originally, these scholars were chatting with each other, and as a businessman, he couldn't interject too much, so it was better to watch from the sidelines with a leisurely and comfortable look. First, he is self-aware, and secondly, he has been in business for decades and knows the truth of planning before acting.
Tang Shiyan of Hanjiang Mansion is also a figure that Mu Million has heard of. Li Xin personally welcomed Tang Shiyan in, and although Mu Million was silent, he was also quietly observing.
However, after seeing Tang Shiyan's appearance, Mu Million couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, this son is indeed not as good as Li Xin's jade tree in the wind, it seems that he was inferior in the provincial capital at the beginning, and it is not accidental that he retreated.
Li Xin welcomed Tang Shiyan in, and then smiled and gave up his seat, "Brother Tang Xian is a guest from afar, so please take a seat." ”
The scholars present today are all talented and famous, and they are all under forty years old, in terms of reputation and status, Tang Shiyan is also one of the best, only slightly inferior to Li Xin.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Tang Shiyan to sit on the seat on the grounds of being a distant guest. However, according to common sense, Tang Shiyan naturally wants to be grateful, and when the time comes, it is normal to let Li Xin take the lead.
But when Tang Shiyan was about to speak, Ye Xingyuan secretly stepped on him, made a look of infinite admiration, and said loudly: "Senior Tang! I heard that you are extremely famous in the provincial city, and the junior brother thought it was an exaggeration before, but he didn't expect to be so respected. At such a meeting, he can also be promoted to be the head of all talents, and I am deeply admired!"
Ye Xingyuan's words were sincere and sincere, and he really looked like a fledgling teenager. After a few words, it was said that Tang Shiyan was not good enough to push back,
And Li Xin was squeezed by Ye Xingyuan, so he could only make the fake come true, and he had to force Tang Shiyan to sit in the first place outside of Mu Million, and he hated to retreat to the second place.
This young man must have done it on purpose! Li Xin thought, obviously he was just a few polite words. In his mouth, how did he become "the head of all the talents"? Unexpectedly, Tang Shiyan himself was a straw bag, and there was a powerful person around him, so he had to guard against it.
Fortunately, learning is a hard kung fu, and Tang Shiyan is the chief at this time. If he showed his cowardice at the time of the paper, it would only be even more embarrassing, and Li Xin could only comfort himself like this, and ate two glasses of wine sullenly.
Ye Xingyuan shamelessly pretended not to understand, so he sat down next to Tang Shiyan, although this old man was talented. But I'm afraid that I can't control this kind of scene, and I still need to help myself.
Although Tang Shiyan sat as the chief guest, he was very happy to see Li Xin secretly deflated, but he was worried for a long time, and he didn't even care about drinking more wine on the table, so he only whispered to Ye Xingyuan: "Brother Xian, this chief is not easy to do." You pick me up, and if you can't do it later, you'll be roasted on the fire. ”
He did not go to the provincial capital for six or seven years, and now he has revisited the old place. Suddenly, I realized that what I had lost was not only the green years, but also the sharpness of the year.
If it was the former Tang Shiyan, even if he knew that it was difficult, he would never be restless, as the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. But now he is afraid of wolves and tigers, and he only relies on his anger at Li Xin to hold on.
Recalling the sage's scriptures, texts and strategies that he was already unfamiliar with, Tang Shiyan only felt that his back was cold, and he hadn't finished grinding his spear yet.
Ye Xingyuan smiled secretly in his heart, and just cheered up: "No matter what." Taking a step first is a step, at least it's good to make Li Xin angry at this time, and we'll talk about it later. Ye Xingyuan knew that he didn't have much confidence in Tang Shiyan and himself, so he could only comfort him in another way.
Tang Shiyan glanced at Li Xin carefully. Although this person looks calm, it is always a little stiff and unnatural when you look closely. Knowing that Li Xin was indeed emotionally affected, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thanks to Brother Xian's action, I don't know what problems they will have in the future, which makes people so uneasy." ”
Ye Xingyuan didn't bother to say anything more. Anyway, Tang Shiyan doesn't lose the battle, his waist is straight, and he is also chic when answering. After all, there is a foundation of great talents in Hanjiang, and if you don't pretend to be able to force them with both hands, how can you get the first title of the four talents of Hanjiang Mansion?
So as long as Brother Tang doesn't show too timidity on the scene, that's enough. According to Ye Xingyuan's plan, it is to let Tang Shiyan hold on to the scene, and those who lose cannot lose the battle. When it's time to get the ink in the dance text, you can kill the audience in seconds.
With Li Xin's temperament, he probably won't be able to last long Ye Xingyuan drank and ate food, and thought at the same time, this person is arrogant, and this time the banquet will definitely not be long.
Ye Xingyuan came here today because he wanted to convince people with his strength. simply chose to go-for-tat at the beginning, forcing the other party to use decisive means, and then quickly decided, finishing things early, and avoiding long nights and dreams.
This strategy seems to have been successful, but after three rounds of drinking, Li Xin can't wait. He walked to the center of the lobby and said with a loud smile: "Today, all the gentlemen gather, enjoy the peach orchard, we are elegant, how can there be no literature if there is wine?
In fact, this has already been said on the invitation, and most of the scholars are prepared, so they just took this opportunity to communicate with each other and discuss the fashion trends of recent articles, so they all nodded at this time.
Ye Xingyuan, who was a "fledgling", clapped his hands and said: "Senior Li's words are very wonderful, the beauty of peach blossoms, light and elegant, and the memory of poetry alone is inevitably monotonous. ”
Huh, this is a good idea! Tang Shiyan was overjoyed, thinking that Ye Xingyuan really had a quick wit. This Ye Xingyuan has never been invited, and he is young, so he will say a few words casually.
It is also an article, and the current essay is not the same as a prose travelogue. Tang Shiyan thought to himself that although his poetry talent was not as far as Ye Xingyuan, he was better than Li Xin. If you talk about prose, it will be half a pound or eight taels at most, and you will never lose easily.
However, Li Xin obviously would not agree to this proposal, in his eyes, Ye Xingyuan was Tang Shiyan's spokesperson. Ye Xing's avoidance of the important can only show that Tang Shiyan is still dying.
So he smiled and said: "Brother Ye Xian is still young, although he has the meaning of romance, he doesn't know the god of Confucianism and Taoism, we are diligently pursuing, so why did we come?
In Li Xin's mind, this big hat is buttoned down, this young man can't say anything anymore, right?
But Ye Xingyuan frowned and said: "Flower appreciation is an elegant thing, we see the peach blossoms gracefully, and we are thinking that we are open-minded."
Tang Shiyan quietly gave Ye Xingyuan a thumbs up under his sleeve, praising this little brother for being really righteous enough to fight for himself to this extent. However, they have already made arrangements today, but I am afraid that they will not be able to do so.
Li Xin sneered and interrupted Ye Xingyuan's words, "Brother Xian's words are wrong, Mr. Mu summoned all the gentlemen today, on the one hand, to appreciate the talents of everyone, and on the other hand, he also hopes that all the gentlemen will discuss the way to enrich the country and support the people, and share the worries of the imperial court and the government!"
If you don't know the sufferings of the people, and can't solve the people's upside down, you will make a thousand and 10,000 peach blossom poems, and no matter how many flowers are blooming, it will only whitewash the peace!
The more Li Xin spoke, the more righteous and awe-inspiring he became, and his words had been prepared a long time ago, and he hated that no one would pick out the words, but he didn't expect Ye Xingyuan to hit the muzzle of the gun, so he naturally screamed without saying anything. These words are not only aimed at Ye Xingyuan, but also an attack on Tang Shiyan, who pretends to be a merry and talented man.
Ye Xingyuan scoffed, as far as Li Xin, a person who loves to camp in the court of the powerful, can understand the rich country and raise the people. This Li Xin has only been in contact for a while, and it makes people feel extremely disgusted, no wonder Tang Shiyan hates him so much.
Ye Xingyuan thought about it carefully, in fact, these righteous and awe-inspiring words should have come out of his Ye Xingyuan's mouth to be logical, Li Xin is the green onion again, dare to come and grab the lines?
Although Ye Xingyuan is not happy with Li Xin, he has played tricks with all kinds of characters in the past few months, and he can be regarded as moving his qi and body, and his temperament has changed fundamentally. only smiled faintly: "Senior Li's words are sincere, no wonder there are rumors on the street that Senior Li is worried about state affairs, and he is born early, and he can't be an official as soon as possible. ”
Morning Shenghua is a fart! Li Xinxin glanced at Mu Wan. At this time, Master Mu was still the appearance of an old god, with a piece of transparent fat on his chopsticks, and he was squinting and looking carefully, as if he hadn't heard anything, Li Xin was relieved.
Even if Ye Xingyuan's words are sarcastic, they can't be called scolding in normal times, but today Mu Million, who is trying to recruit a son-in-law, is here, why do you always mention other people's ages?
Li Xin hated this so much that he could only pretend not to care and said: "Whether to be an official or not is secondary, my generation of scholars, after all, we must do our best for the society." I am still in the prime of life, and I can't be willing to be a backward person. ”
Li Xin had to emphasize that he was in the prime of life, and the two conditions of age and widowhood were minus points, and he must not be poked again.
Ye Xingyuan applauded and praised, "Lao Ji is in the middle of nowhere, his ambition is thousands of miles, and he is good!"
Li Xin was furious, and on the surface he was praising this, but even fools could tell that it really meant a slap in the face. In front of Mu Million today, he hates someone mentioning an old word the most!
Looking at Ye Xingyuan, who was not as old as a weak crown and was heroic, at this time Li Xin knew that he was congenitally insufficient, and he would definitely not be able to win the fight, and in the end, he would definitely be unlucky.
I had to pretend to be deaf and said to myself: "Today's article, Mr. Mu has entrusted me to write here, please come up and watch, and then discuss state affairs with wonderful writing." In my opinion, Tang Xiandi is the first genius of the Han River, and this frontispiece article must be done by you!" )
