Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 268 Dad and Mom Come to Beijing
Li An suddenly realized that he seemed to have gone astray.

Su Shi first invited him to participate in the poetry meeting because he wanted him to become famous.

Li An is not very interested in this. The reason why he is willing to come here is actually to show off in front of Hai Wenren.

However, he suddenly realized that he and Su Shi went to Hai's house to visit Hai Wenren, and they had already been appreciated by Hai Wenren.

There seems to be no need to show off at poetry gatherings.

It is said that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

The identity of those who came to the poetry meeting was not simple. If he overshadowed everyone, it would be inevitable that some narrow-minded people would feel unhappy and slander him behind his back.

It’s not that Ang Lee is arrogant. After all, the poems that can be passed down to future generations and memorized by him are the best among the best.

Among the people present, even Su Shi, who is known as the immortal of poetry, is not very accomplished in poetry now.

He picked out a song at random, and these people were no match for him.

But this is reversed for the Su brothers. Su Shi, the older brother, listens more to his younger brother.

Li An shook his head when he heard this and said: "Brother Zizhan, I am prepared, but I am not good at poetry. Today, the heroes from all of Bianjing are gathered here. I just heard the poetry they wrote, and I feel ashamed." , I won’t show my shame anymore.

Su Shi smiled and said: "Zi Qian, haven't you been prepared for this? Such a good opportunity is not the time to be humble."

At this moment, a burst of applause and praise came over.

In his opinion, there is no difference between An Li and the like-minded friends Su Shi met in the brothel.

"I often hear people say that Young Master Qi has great literary talents, but now I see that he is truly worthy of his reputation. This poem is probably unmatched by anyone today."

Li An and others looked over and saw Qi Heng surrounded by a group of people praising him and thanking him.

So he said: "Brother, Zi Qian may have his own considerations, so please stop trying to persuade him."

Qi Heng didn't know whether he felt Li An's gaze or just looked over, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Li An shook his head secretly and didn't care.

After several contacts, he gradually changed his opinion of Li An, but he was not close to him.

After all, fame is tiring.

To be honest, he still admired Qi Heng's character.

It is said that the eldest brother is like the father, and the younger brother usually listens to his elder brother. Even if the brothers don't get along, they rarely contradict their elder brothers outside.

Su Shi wanted to persuade him again, but Su Che saw a bit of Li An's thoughts.

If someone were to steal a woman from him, he would have used his family background to deal with him.

Now that I see Ang Lee refusing to become famous in this way, I think highly of Ang Lee.

Seeing Su Che speak, Su Shi felt sorry for Li An, but said nothing more.

"The poem "Little Gongye" has a beautiful artistic conception and makes people feel the liveliness of the Lantern Festival just by watching it. It is really admirable."

Su Che actually didn't have a good impression of Li An at first.

In Ang Lee's view, it is completely unnecessary.

Therefore, he didn't care about Qi Heng's provocation.

When Qi Heng saw that Li An didn't respond, it was as if he had punched cotton.

But if he were to come over and provoke him face to face, he wouldn't be able to show his temper.

Su Shi didn't know Qi Heng, so he glanced at it and then looked away, a little dull: "Since Zi Qian doesn't plan to write poetry, there's no point in staying here. How about taking a look at the scenery on the top floor?"

"Brother, this is a very good suggestion. I have always heard that during the Lantern Festival in Bianjing, lanterns will be hung all over the city, just like a city that never sleeps. The only view from Jingxian Tower is the Fan Tower and the pagoda of Daxiangguo Temple. Now that we are here, it is It's time to appreciate it." Su Che said with a smile.

Li An and Sheng Changbai also felt that sitting here chatting was a bit boring, so naturally they would not refuse.

So the four of them walked upstairs together.

As mentioned before, Jingxian Tower looks like a tower, so the floors above it get smaller.

The entire fifth floor is less than half the size of the second floor. It is very empty and without any decoration. There are several poems carved on the wall facing the entrance.

At this time, most of the people participating in the poetry meeting were busy writing poems and making friends downstairs, and not many people came to the fifth floor.

There were only seven or eight scattered people standing by the wall admiring the poems on the wall. When they heard the footsteps, they looked back at Li An and the others, and then looked away.

Li An looked around and saw two lines of writing on the wall on the left, and was surprised: "Is this left by Mr. Fan Wenzheng?"

What is written on the wall is not a poem, but the famous line from Fan Wenzhenggong's "Yueyang Tower" that has been passed down through the ages: "Be anxious when the world is worried, and be happy after the world is happy."

"No, this was copied by Master Hai." Su Che said.

"What a pity for Mr. Fan Wenzheng." Su Shi sighed.

"Brother, be careful!" Su Zhe's expression changed and he looked around.

The New Deal was initiated by the officials at first, and later it was the officials who stabbed the reformists in the back.

Su Shi complained on behalf of Fan Wenzheng. If someone with ulterior motives took advantage of him, he would be in big trouble.

Su Shi was a little dissatisfied with Su Che's caution and wanted to refute, but was stopped by Li An.

"Brother Zizhan, we are here to enjoy the scenery, and we don't want to talk about these spoilers. Let's go outside to enjoy the scenery on the terrace."

After saying that, without giving Su Shi a chance to speak, he pulled him towards the door on the side.

After walking through the door and onto the terrace, a gust of cold wind blew by, making Li An couldn't help but shiver.

Looking around, you can see that Bianjing Street is crowded with people and brightly lit, just like a picture of the prosperous times when the sea, rivers and rivers are clear.

On the other side is the outside of the city, which is dark, like two worlds.

Unfortunately, Jingxian Tower is close to the outer city wall and the inner city cannot be seen clearly.

The poetry meeting lasted until late at night, while Li An and the other two were enjoying the scenery upstairs and did not participate.

After the poetry meeting ended, the four of them went shopping together and felt the fireworks of the Lantern Festival before going home.

……

"Master, Master!"

Li An heard a knock on the door and a shout in a daze.

When I woke up, I felt weak all over and my head was dizzy.

Li An knew that he probably caught a cold while admiring the scenery at Jingxian Tower last night.

Qiang braced himself and said, "What's the matter?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice had become hoarse.

Haitang said: "Sir, the master and his wife are here!"

Li An was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to realize that Haitang should be talking about his parents.

After coming back to his senses, Li An quickly got up, got dressed, opened the door, and asked, "Why are my parents here? Where are they?"

"Why, your dad and I can't? Are you here? It's almost noon, and you're still sleeping."

Mrs. Liu had just walked to the door of the courtyard when she heard Li An's voice.

Because of her excitement, she didn't even notice that there was something wrong with Li An's voice.

Li An looked at his parents and Shi Lin and his son who came in, and said in surprise: "Mom, dad, master!"

Seeing her son's pale face, Ms. Liu's smile froze. She quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Aniu, why do you look so bad? Are you sick? Have you seen a doctor?"

Li An was asked a series of questions by Liu and didn't know how to answer them.

Sensing the worry in Liu's tone, Li An forced a smile and said, "Mom, I'm fine. I just caught a cold last night."
