Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 91

Today is the day of the Xufu Poetry Festival. Many scholars in Runzhou City are very attentive. The scholars who received the invitation felt extremely proud and proud of being able to join this poetry festival.

First of all, because Xu Qingwan was the first talented woman in Runzhou, and she was very beautiful, this was a rare item for ancient women. In addition, the Xu family had a strong background. During the Yang Wu regime, Xu Wen was a powerful person. He almost ascended to the throne as emperor, but later died of illness. Xu Wen's several direct sons were not good enough. Instead, his adopted son Li Fang took the lead and replaced Wu State to establish Jiangnan Tang State.

Although the Xu family was defeated in the vortex of palace power, Li Bian was grateful for Xu Wen's upbringing and cultivation, and did not kill the Xu family. Except for Xu Zhixun and Xu Zhixun, he took care of other Xu family members. In particular, the descendants of Xu Zhijian, who befriended Li Wei, are more supportive.

This Xu Qingwan is the great-great-granddaughter of Xu Zhijian. The family has been operating in Runzhou for decades and has a strong foundation. In addition, Xu Jiatao keeps a low profile, and is no longer involved in major events and confidential central positions in the Tang Dynasty, nor does he do business too much. In this way, it does not show the mountains and does not show, focusing on poetry and classics, but gradually transformed into a scholarly family.

In the past few years, Xu Qingwan's talent has risen to fame. After winning the title of "the first talented woman in Runzhou", every year from February to November, during these ten months, the Xufu Poetry Conference is held to convene many talents and talents in Runzhou. Everyone came over to talk about poems and articles, and if there were good works, they would be organized into books, which could be regarded as a kind of literary grace, and were talked about by local scholars and Confucian scholars.

"There is Taowu Lane in front, and the Xu Mansion is located there." Peng Qingqing lifted the curtain of the car, saw the entrance of the alley in front, and told everyone in advance.

Qingqing's father, Peng Zeliang, had a good personal relationship with Xu Yonghua, the head of the Xu family. Therefore, Peng Qingqing had followed her father to visit Xu's residence several times, and she had also met Xu Qingwan several times.Therefore, the two women are generally friendly, and Peng Qingqing is more willing to go to Susu to communicate and play.

"I'm there today, do I need to write poetry?" Su Chen said worriedly.

His "name of a genius" is not worthy of the name. Although the two poems "Qu Yuguan" and "Butterfly Love Flower" circulated in Runzhou were indeed written by him, they were not his first works. He just recited and copied them. Just come out.Once the article is discussed on the spot, he will reveal his secrets.What is the whole Tang Wen, Pian Fu, etc.,

Unless he only discusses poetry, he has recited a lot of Tang and Song poetry, and he can throw out a few Song Dynasty poems at random to scare these talents and ladies.

Bai Susu glanced at him and said calmly, "Let's see the situation, I hope you can play freely, it depends on the situation, and you won't fall into the name of a genius!"

Peng Qingqing said by the side, "That's right, Sister Susu seldom participated in this kind of poetry meeting before, but this replay has made rumors, presumably the Murong Yaner and Ding family, who have a bad relationship with us, will definitely bring in talented people. Or talented women help us, use poetry to run on us, you have to fight for your strength, kill the Quartet, and let them stop being arrogant."

"I'll try my best." Su Chen felt a little guilty.

The streets of Taowu Lane are obviously much wider, the width of which can pass four cars side by side, the streets are clean, and the roads are paved with bluestone and blue bricks, which is much stronger than many yellow mud roads.

The huge Xu Mansion, located in the core area of ​​Taowu Lane, covers an area of ​​tens of acres, sitting north to south, with high walls of blue tiles, and a pair of white marble lions with a height of half a zhang at the gate. The gate, shiny copper nails, copper rings, glittering luster, a plaque inscribed with two gold lacquer characters "Xu Fu".

When Su Chen, Bai Susu and the others got off the carriage, they found that some carriages and sedan chairs were parked in the open space in front of the Xu residence. These were the necessary means of transportation for the well-known Confucian scholars and powerful people, the sons of the Yanei and the ladies. , Ordinary scholars and scholars come here on foot.

At every Xufu poetry meeting, Xu Qingwan would invite one or two great Confucians in the city or those who were dismissed from office in Runzhou. In the past, they were talented, famous and influential. They were responsible for commenting on the poems at the end. Poems that can be recognized are naturally It will soon spread in the city, and the fame of the talented person can also be quickly raised.

Su Chen stopped at the gate of Xu Mansion, looked around, and found that there was a small garden opposite Xu Mansion, which was full of peach trees.

It is the March season, when the peach blossoms are blooming, colorful, and very beautiful.The name of Taowu Lane has something to do with this peach forest.

"When we come out, we can go to enjoy the peach blossoms!" Su Chen smiled and made a request.

Peng Qingqing shook his head and said, "No need, there is also a flower garden in the courtyard of Xu Mansion, where you can enjoy peach blossoms."

Bai Susu asked Xiaotong to hand over the invitation to the concierge servant of Xu Mansion. After the inspection, a housekeeper introduced them to Xu Mansion and took them to the Splendid Courtyard where the poetry party was held.

I have to say that the mansion in Xu Mansion is magnificent and magnificent, with a view of every ten steps. Along the way, you can see rockeries, waterfalls, promenades and curved bridges, and buildings are intertwined. , turned into the garden courtyard on the east side.

Passing through the Moon Gate, you will see the open courtyard in front of you. The garden is surrounded by water. Before entering the garden, you can see the scenery, move flowers and trees, surround mountains and make water, pavilions and pavilions, white walls and black tiles, which completely constitute a perfect Jiangnan water town. A picture of a garden.

At this moment, many young people have gathered in front of them. The ladies and female relatives are watching the lotus pond and lotus at the long bridge of the stone pavilion, laughing and whispering. There are also versatile women playing the strings, flute and pipa.

The gentlemen stood on the grassy ground two feet away, and there were many square tables on which were placed drinks, fruit plates, cakes, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The poetry meeting has not yet started, so everyone is in groups of three or five, each chatting and laughing.

This scene gave Su Chen the feeling that it was just like what the ancients wrote: There are great scholars in chatting and laughing, but there are no white people in exchanges.You can tune the plain qin and read the golden scriptures; there is no mess of silk and bamboo, and no labored shape of the case and slips.Really comfortable and elegant!

"Huh? Isn't that Bai Susu, the eldest lady of the Bai family? She really came to participate in the poetry party." Someone with sharp eyes immediately recognized the identity of the two women when they saw Bai Susu and Peng Qingqing.

"Oh my god, it's really Bai Susu, does she really dare to come?"

"Beside Bai Susu is Peng Qingqing, and who is the other scholar in white? Could it be Su Yixuan, a talented scholar in Jinling?"

"Su Yixuan is here—"

When the scholars, scholars and ladies saw Bai Susu approaching, they fell into surprise and discussion.

"Where is Su Yixuan?" When more and more people heard the name "Su Yixuan", they stopped discussing with the people around them and glanced at him.

Hou Shijie, Liang Youcai, Fang Chenbo, Zhao Yu and others all squeezed in front of the crowd, wanting to see what Su Yixuan looks like first?

"Young Master Su is here." Among the many ladies, a beautiful woman who quickly came out was the talented woman Xu Wanqing. When she learned that Su Yixuan followed Bai Susu to participate in the poetry party, her face showed surprise and smiled. greeted.
