Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 85 Chang'an Poetry Club
On the day of Double Eleven, the weather is beautiful, the snow is clear, and in the Furong Garden, a group of literati are cooking tea and wine, talking high-spirited.This time the poetry meeting was really at its peak, from the officials to the wandering poets, to the celebrities in the Chunlou, and even many women from deep boudoirs quietly came in with their maidservants to participate.

Shangguanyi, Shen Sancong, Gao Yue, and Qixin are known as the Four Talents, but this is not the main reason for attracting people. The most important reason is that the number one talent, Xu Chuliu, will finally show up!
Although Xu Chuliu's reputation has long been spread, and everyone knows that Xu Chuliu is a high-ranking official, but because of this, ordinary people really can't see a living person, even a famous talent.

Furong Garden is divided into outer garden and inner garden. The outer garden is a place for people to play, and the inner garden is a place for literati to discuss poetry and papers. Except for famous talents, non-rich families are not allowed to enter.Xu Qing was stopped outside the door...

Shen Sancong, who claimed to be the third talented person, volunteered to be the gatekeeper of the inner garden. He greeted and sent him off, and it was easier to get acquainted with those celebrities and nobles, and he was more real than Shangguanyi as the host.Xu Qing and Xun Xueer came together, and Shen Sancong came over immediately when he saw him, first saluted and asked:
"Are you here to attend the poetry meeting?"

Xu Qing nodded, and Shen Sancong asked again:
"Then what officials are your father and uncle?"

"Uh, no official..." Xu Qing thought for a while, and answered truthfully, no matter whether in his previous life or this life, his family did not have an official.Then Shen San listened, and looked at Xu Qing and Xu Qing again, seeing that Xu Qing was dressed in ordinary clothes, but not shabby, and was stunned when he saw Xun Xueer.So Shen San thought for a while and asked again:

"Is there a noble in the Lingtang?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "No..."

At this time, Shen Sancong's expression became a little disdainful, and he asked again: "Well, what friends do you have who are famous talents?" Xu Qing suddenly replied: "Yes, Shangguanyi is my friend... "

It's just that when Shen San listened to this sentence, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly:

"Well, one of the five talents, do you have the invitation letter written by him?"

"He didn't give me an invitation letter..."

"Here, brother, you are not allowed to enter..."

"I'm a poet, why can't I enter this poetry club..."

"Oh? You're still a poet. Dare I ask your name?" Shen Sancong smiled, already feeling contempt for Xu Qing in his heart. How many literati in Chang'an did he not know, and how many did he not know him?The rest, that's fine.
"I'm Xu Chuliu..."

"Pfft!" Shen San listened for a while and couldn't hold it back. The literati who didn't know him in Chang'an really had a powerful role, and that was Xu Chuliu, the first-time genius, but this one in front of him didn't look like a genius at all. , wearing a leather jacket and a felt hat, and some people believed that he was a rich man. Shen Congsan curled his lips and said:

"This brother is joking, you are really shameless..."

Hey, what are you talking about, Xu Qing frowned and said, "I'm really Xu Chuliu, but my name is Xu Qing now... forget it if you don't believe it..." There was a post saying to Xun Xueer: "Why is Shangguanyi so unreliable? , Xue'er, let's go..."

Unexpectedly, when Shen Sancong saw that Xun Xueer was leaving, he couldn't help feeling a little bit reluctant.Xun Xueer is young, although she has been developed by Xu Qing, apart from her mature body, her face is still as pure as a virgin.Shen Congsan held back and said, "Young lady, you can go in."

After hearing this, Xu Qing looked at Xun Xueer and asked:
"Xue'er, do you want to play?"

"Well...but if Brother Xu doesn't go, I won't go..." Xun Xueer nodded and shook her head obediently in front of Xu Qing, and tucked Xu Qing's collar.Seeing that Shen San was jealous for a while, he didn't know what's so good about that kid, he was like a small landlord in the village, but this beauty is so obedient and considerate, it's really good that cabbage makes that pig
Shen San thought from the bottom of his heart: It's better to let that man in, or let him lose face in front of the beauty. Talented men and beautiful men are the end of the story, and when the time comes, the beauty in front of me...

Xun Xueer wanted to play, but Xu Qing was willing to stop her.So he said, "Go ask Shangguanyi to come see me, and then we can go in together..."

"Brother Xu, I'll be right back..." Xun Xueer looked at Xu Qing happily. With such a good husband, she could wake up happily at night.Shen San never saw the love between Xu Qing and Xu Qing, so he said impatiently

"Okay, okay, for the sake of this young lady, you go in too." Xu Qing was slightly surprised, and heard Shen Sancong say again: "When you get inside, I will take you to stay there. You are not allowed to wander around. Whether it's a gifted scholar or a famous person or an official's son, you can't afford to offend any of them."

Xu Qing was funny in his heart, but there was no need to care about this kind of person. He was a lord. A few people were making tea, but compared to those in the middle, whether it was clothing or anything else, they obviously fell several grades.Looking at Shangguanyi who was chatting and laughing in the center from a distance, Xu Qing curled her lips and snorted softly, almost shutting me down, and you don't want me to show up on my own initiative.

After everyone waited for a long time, the "lead singer" did not come over. They couldn't wait any longer. Some people began to suggest to Shang Guanyi to start the poetry meeting first, but some people began to complain, complaining that Xu Chuliu was late on purpose.

The Furong Garden was built by the Qujiang Pond. Looking around, it is a vast expanse of whiteness. Although there is sun, there is not much melting of the snow, a few branches, and a few black spots.Everyone started to flatter each other, and after the flattery was over, they had to start composing poems with their skills, so that they could reserve seats for the next flattery.

The theme of the poem is naturally inseparable from Dongxue. Shangguanyi groaned for a moment, and with inspiration, he held a teacup, paced slowly, and chanted:

"Open the door in the morning and the mountains are covered with snow, the snow is clear and the clouds are light and the sun is cold.

The eaves are not dripping with plum blossom jelly, a kind of loneliness does not wait for nothing"

Shangguanyi's words are falling, and the four are silent. It takes time to savor poems, and there are very few poems that feel magical once you hear them.After a while, some people began to sigh: "As expected of being the head of the four talents, once you speak, it's really not vulgar."

"Yes yes yes, the poem is elegant and interesting, the words are fresh and fresh, this poem is wonderful..." Qi Xin said with endless aftertaste.

"At this time, it is only worse than Xu Chuliu's in today's world, isn't it?"

"Yeah, if Xu Chuliu didn't come today, brother You Shao must be the poetry leader this time." Gao Yue admired, feeling ashamed.Xu Qing nodded when he heard it in the corner. This poem is not only gorgeous in rhetoric, but also looks like a poem.

"Brother Xu, this is poetry tasting, I think..." Xun Xueer blushed, and she still didn't say a word: I think it's not as good as usual!
"Xue'er, do you still remember the poem I taught you last night? If someone asks you later, you can recite that poem."

"Yeah, I remember Brother Xu's poems..." Xun Xueer nodded.

Just when Xu Qing wanted to continue listening to the poem, an annoying voice sounded:

"You guys are all talking about Xu Chuliu. I'm really afraid that I won't be back today, but I actually met one today." After finishing speaking, Shen Sancong looked towards Xu Qing and said in surprise, "Eh? What are you doing?" Come in, didn't I not let you in, you are impatient!"
