Kaiyuan Merry

Some of the poets in the circle knew what happened to Li Qi, some admired Li Qi for his prodigal son turning back, while others ridiculed Li Qi for failing repeatedly.

Those who laughed at Li Qi naturally felt that his talent was not as good as him and were jealous of him. On the contrary, those truly talented poets all admired Li Qi's tenacity.

However, at this time, the ridiculed Li Qi aroused the sympathy of most of the poets. After all, they were of the same status as Li Qi. Since this businessman dared to ridicule Li Qi unscrupulously, it meant that he did not take poets like them seriously. inside.

A rage of the same hatred gradually rose in the hearts of the poets, and many poets have decided to write some poems at will in order to take revenge on these businessmen who are full of money.

Li Qi didn't respond fiercely to the sarcasm of his childhood friend. In order to avoid showing embarrassment, he just took a sip of his wine pretending to be calm, feeling slightly bitter, and Zhong recalled Wang Wei. [

Of course he knew why he would think of Wang Wei. If he had been selected as a Jinshi, with an official status, why would he need to suffer such humiliation?

I really want to just walk away... But I still can't, because it will offend the host of the banquet. Even if the rich businessman's political status is not high, it is too easy to secretly deal with a powerful poet.

Seeing Li Qi's cowardly look, Jia couldn't help showing a smug smile, not caring that he made the atmosphere so weird.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhu Xin, a rich businessman who was the host of the banquet, scolded Jia Yu in his heart that this junior would not be able to behave. He smoothed things over and said: "Everyone don't have to be so restrained, just have fun. Being able to come here is a way of giving me face, and it will be decided later." There are rewards."

After the wealthy businessman finished speaking, he asked his servants to present a gift to each poet, which can be said to be treated equally, which shows that this businessman is indeed slick.

From Zhu Xin's point of view, the lower-quality second generation like Jia Yu is really a little tender. You can have a sense of superiority, but is it necessary to be so obvious?Don't look at these poets who are down and out now, maybe they will jump into the dragon's gate in the future. Besides, because the poets have literary names, they must have connections in the literary world. Even if the relationship is mediocre, at least they can be familiar. Just reach out and carry it?

At this moment, Zhu Xin already knew the news that Wang Wei and others were also in this restaurant. He couldn't help but feel moved, and said to all the guests present: "There are some important people next to us, why don't you all come with me?" How about a toast?"

The guests can do as they please, and everyone can't do it themselves, so Zhu Xin led a group of people to Wang Wei's private room.

As a rich man in Chang'an, Zhu Xin certainly has a protective umbrella in the officialdom. For Wang Wei, a new Jinshi, he dare not treat him like an ordinary poet. According to his protective umbrella, this Wang Mojie seems to be just A direct descendant of a famous family, but in fact his background is unfathomable, even registered in the heart of the Holy One, it can be said that he has a bright future.

When he said these words, that adult obviously wanted to make friends with Wang Wei, but he just suffered from no chance.

Zhu Xin, a rich man in Chang'an, kept these words in his heart. He was still wondering who occupied the best private room, but he didn't expect it to be Wang Wei, an unfathomable big man!

With a mood of apprehension and anticipation, Zhu Xin, who was holding a gold bottle, finally entered the private room, and found that Wang Wei and the others were chatting and eating, and the atmosphere was very good.

After all, in general private gatherings, everyone is more relaxed, and there is no need to make a special toast. Drink as much as you want, and the atmosphere is naturally good. Like the gathering held by the wealthy businessman Zhu Xin, everyone may have heard of the other party's name , but after all unfamiliar, so they are more restrained.

All the poets were still wondering who was worthy of this rich businessman's respect, but when they found out that it was people like Wang Wei and Cui Zongzhi who were both close and far away from them, their feelings became more contradictory and complicated.

To say that they are close to me is because Wang Wei and others are also considered rookies in the literary world, and they also have the status of poets, but it is just an embellishment, and to say that they are far away from me is because they already have the ideals that people dream of. official status.

Not to mention Cui Zongzhi and Wei Zhi's official ranks, they are not so lucky to be the sons of prime ministers. Although they are also envious, they don't expect that they will be able to have such a good pregnancy.

Therefore, Wang Wei, who was able to rank third in high school in the first imperial examination, was the object of their longing.

In fact, the official status obtained through Jinshi, whether in the officialdom or among the people, is more rooted and popular, full of confidence, because it is ultimately based on one's own strength, and this strength does not only refer to talent, but also connections and luck. , Play on the spot, etc.

Now even if it is said that Wang Wei has a better future in the officialdom than Wei Zhi and Cui Zongzhi, no one will object. [

When Wang Wei and the others saw such a group of people coming in, they behaved differently. Wang Wei quietly observed who it was, and after discovering that there was someone he knew well like Li Qi among them, he knew that it might be a group of people having dinner. The poet heard that they were in this private room, and then came to say hello.

Cui Zongzhi showed a warm smile. Obviously, some of these poets have a good relationship with him.

Wei Zhi turned into an iceberg again. To him, he was not a familiar person, and he didn't even bother to say hello, which showed how arrogant he was.

When a group of people came here, a few people found that the leader was a businessman with a fat body and a rich face. Zhu Xin toasted Wang Wei generously and said, "I said which son has reserved this private room?" , I didn’t expect it to be the famous Prince Wang, congratulations to Prince Wang, a high school scholar, and I offer you a toast.”

Wang Wei saw that he was obviously the leader of this group of people, so he gave him a face, smiled reservedly, and took a sip of wine, although his face was still gentle, but the unique arrogance of the children of the family was very natural. out.

The reason is simple. When facing someone like Zhu Xin, no matter how rich he is, he is just a businessman and his political status is too low.

If it is really treated equally, it will make people look down on it. What kind of identity should have what kind of performance. Since Wang Wei is now a proper "scholar", when facing "businessmen", he should naturally use attitude of looking down.

Zhu Xin also felt that it was very normal, he just drank it down with a smile, and then toasted the rest of the people.

Jia Yu also followed Zhu Xin to toast. When facing a promising Jinshi like Wang Wei, he naturally did not dare to be disrespectful. In his eyes, Wang Wei and those poor poets are not on the same level. is the real big shot.

Jia Yu showed a humble smile, and was about to flatter Wang Wei, and then offered a glass of wine cautiously.

But what made Jia Yu embarrassed was that Wang Wei didn't even glance at Jia Yu, but he said to Li Qi in the crowd, "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, what good poems do you have?"

Wang Wei's tone was indeed very sincere, Li Qi could feel Wang Wei's enthusiasm, he just felt a sense of being respected spontaneously.

What made Li Qi secretly happy was that when Wang Wei took the initiative to greet him, Jia Yu's face suddenly became gloomy. It can be seen that Wang Wei inadvertently slapped Jia Yu hard for Li Qi.

Li Qi was about to speak, but Jia Yu, who was very unwilling in his heart, couldn't help but preemptively said: "My lord, how could this poor poet have any good poems, that is, he just spends his time doing nothing but practicing Taoism and alchemy, so why waste time on him?" , come, this cup, I respect you!"

Although he was unhappy with the arrogance of Wang Wei, a child of a family like this, Jia Yu still did not dare to show any disrespect, and only dared to vent his displeasure on Li Qi. He felt very good about himself and felt that Wang Wei should give him more respect. Pay attention to it, instead of focusing on a small person like Li Qi.

Wang Wei laughed lightly, without even standing up, he casually placed the jade cup on the table, ignoring the guy's desire to clink glasses at all.

Wang Wei has always been very observant and has a precise eye. This guy is just the son of a businessman. Because Wang Wei greeted Li Qi first, his face became very ugly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes. Some festivals.

Wang Wei didn't care what feud he had with Li Qi, but a small businessman's son dared to flirt with a son from a family like him, this feeling of himself was too good.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Zhu Xin thumped in his heart, secretly thinking that something was wrong, this junior surnamed Jia was really ignorant, even when he toasted Wang Wei, he always maintained a humble attitude. Taking a symbolic sip of wine is already a great way to save face, but judging by the attitude of this family, does this person surnamed Jia want to toast with King Mojie?

Seeing that Wang Wei didn't seem to give face at all, Jia Yu's face darkened suddenly. After all, he was still young, with a little blood, he was well protected by his family, and he was talented in business, so even if he was afraid of Wang Wei in his bones Wei Wei's power, but he couldn't help but want to struggle and resist.

"Why, doesn't the prince give Jia this face? It's just a glass of wine." Jia Yu's voice suddenly increased, and after he said the words that almost forced Wang Wei to drink, he felt his whole body was boiling with blood, and a wave of breakthrough broke out. The pleasure of authority even made him forget Wang Wei's identity.

Wang Wei treats people relatively mildly. He has never taken this kind of small businessman's children to heart. Only this time, he realized that this kind of little person like a fly really thinks that he is also a descendant of an aristocratic family. [

Before Wang Wei got angry, some people would have long since seen such a small person jumping up and down here, affecting people's mood.
