Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 429
Fu Ruojin also looked at that side with a smile. Now he wished that Ye Chen, whose alias was Chen Qing, would die. But after Xiangyuelou suffered a loss a few days ago, he also improved a lot in character. I will not express my thoughts again.

He had already thought about it, even if he faced that Chen Qing, he must not make people feel that he was jealous of that Chen Qing from his expression and attitude.On the day of Xiangyuelou, the words Chen Qing said before leaving, 'jealousy is the devil' deeply stimulated him, but also made him laugh a lot.If it wasn't for the fact that he has a lot of friends and has indeed written quite a few poems of a certain standard in recent years, the name of a talented man is real, otherwise, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, where the emphasis on literary names is already like life, he may have He was knocked out of the dust, and his official career was ruined.

In any case, he no longer doubts Ye Chen's talent for poetry. Thinking about the later competition between him and Li Shiwen, there may not be much suspense. The famous prostitute in the brothel felt bored for a while, but she didn't show it on the surface, she was laughing and watching with everyone.

However, under the expectation of others watching the excitement, and when the anger of both parties reached the highest point, the subsequent development of the situation was beyond everyone's expectations. It's simply incomprehensible. Of course, this is mainly because they don't know that Ye Chen, whose pseudonym is Chen Qing, is not from the same world as them.

After Ye Chen and Liu Zongyang came in, they searched for their favorite programs and watched them for a while. Ye Chen was still a little interested in these programs, at least more interested than competing with others in poetry.So, before Liu Linxuan's boat with the dignitaries arrived, he wandered around watching the performance.Those who can perform here are all beauties, and the level of performance is indeed not low.After Ye Chen watched it, he felt that the trip was worthwhile.

The two walked for a while, and Liu Zongyang was a little tired, so he decided to rest on the Qinghe Tower for a while and drink a cup of tea.

As a result, when they were downstairs, they heard the commotion from above. Along the way, they did not expect to meet Chen Jun and Chen Feng.Originally, everyone had already greeted at the door, but if they knew what happened above, it would be unreasonable not to come up as Ye Chen's Chen Qing.

As soon as Ye Chen and Liu Zongyang went upstairs, Chen Jun looked over here, and was immediately ecstatic.Say hello to both of them loudly.

Ye Chen nodded casually: "Brother Feng, Brother Jun, you are here too!"

"Uh, cousin." Chen Feng reacted, nodded not far away, with a strange and hesitant expression, thinking about how to word his own cousin.

Ye Chen and Liu Zongyang walked over, greeted Chen Jun and Chen Feng's cheerful friends whom they met earlier, and looked at the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the tables. They seemed to have written poems, thinking These people really complied with the phrase 'feeling full and warm thinking***' or 'full food and support'.

Someone on the other side also greeted at this time: "Liu Zongyang. Brother Liu, I'm Li Shiwen, I've admired you for a long time."

Liu Zongyang and that Li Shiwen had never met formally before, but there were also invisible confrontations in some occasions such as poetry gatherings. They were famous for each other, and they smiled and said, "Hehehe, it turns out that brother Shiwen is also here, what a coincidence."

Although the two sides were a bit at war before, they stopped for a while at this time, and those who were with Chen Jun and Chen Feng and those who were at the table with Li Shiwen heard Liu Zongyang's name, and immediately stood up to say hello, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries again. Liu Zongyang casually said something like "Everyone is elegant", Li Shiwen thought for a while, and then he said with a smile: "Just now everyone was composing poems and lyrics for Miss Zhu Bingbing, brother Liu and this brother, Chen Jun, Chen Feng, etc. Brothers know each other, why don't you join in the fun?"

If it sounds to others, this is already a voluntary declaration of war. Li Shiwen was born in a scholarly family. Although his reputation is similar to Liu Zongyang, he has always looked down on a merchant family like the Liu family. It's just that he and the people around him don't know Chen Qing who Ye Chen is pretending to be.

Liu Zongyang naturally sensed that there was something different in the atmosphere, but he didn't know much about the situation, so he naturally wouldn't agree rashly. He casually declined, and another man who picked up a brush but hadn't written poems because of Liu Zongyang's arrival also smiled. He asked: "I don't know who this young master is? Chen Jun, you don't want to introduce us." Now that Li Shiwen has decided to challenge Liu Zongyang, the rest of them are naturally nothing.

"He's my cousin Chen Qing." Chen Jun had recovered his composure at this time, and he was faintly ready to take revenge.

The other side smiled: "Oh"

Ye Chen on the side could only stand up and cup his hands, but the laughter on the other side stopped abruptly, and his expression froze, and he said, "You are Chen Qing and Chen Zhongshu who wrote "Recalling Homeland"?"

The person who didn't know the identity of Ye Chen's pseudonym Chen Qing was stunned.Then it was natural to meet again, but compared to the casualness just now, when everyone greeted Ye Chen at this time, they were a little more solemn.Ye Chen naturally felt very bored, but for this sake, he used Chen Qing's name. In order not to reveal his identity, he could only deal with these people.

Not long after, Ye Chen sat on the window seat next to the confrontation and drank tea.But here, the situation resumed the confrontation, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones were all ready, and the person who was about to teach the Chen brothers a lesson with poetry had already picked up the brushes. Look complicated.

That pen can't fall.

There were whispers in the crowd, spreading around, just now they were all watching the lively without restraint, and many people understood what happened, but at this time, the whole atmosphere became a little weird, everyone seemed to be talking about some secrets .

Fu Ruojin looked there for a long time, took a mouthful of vegetables and chewed slowly in his mouth, unable to comprehend the scene in front of him.

"What the hell happened?"

Literati and inkmen, fighting poetry and writing, are fighting for one breath, even if you lose, you can't lose the battle, you can't lose your demeanor.People like Fu Ruojin are actually used to this kind of thing, basically they can guess the result after reading the beginning.

Under normal circumstances, everyone says that the text is not the first, and the poetry is a little worse, and usually there is no big problem.Of course, because of Li Shiwen's presence at the moment, the two brothers of the Chen family were too poor there, so the other party pushed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone over after some taunts.If it was outside, it would be possible to fight in this situation, but there are so many onlookers right now, if they fight in this gathering place, they will inevitably be kicked out by the officers and soldiers who maintain order, and they can't speak for a while.

When Liu Zongyang came upstairs and showed that he knew the Chen family brother, it would be impossible to escape under such circumstances.Afterwards, Li Shiwen made it clear that he challenged, and when the content came to this side, Fu Ruojin and the others laughed. This boring quarrel finally became interesting.

Who would have known the identity of Ye Chen's pseudonym Chen Qing, but after a few words, it was as if cold water had been poured on the two sides who were at war with each other. As if being suppressed by something invisible, Liu Zongyang only said hello a few times, and then went to the side with the acquaintance, and it seemed that he would not intervene anymore.It's just that Ye Chen's current identity is after all cousins ​​with Chen Jun and Chen Feng, and he couldn't leave, so he sat in the same position as Chen Feng just now.Regardless of whether he wants to compose poems or lyrics, it looks like he is ready to stand up for Chen Jun and Chen Feng.

And this is why the few people who originally wanted to write poems hesitated to write.Fu Ruojin had seen their poetic talents before, especially Li Shiwen, who seemed to have some worries in his heart while holding the brush. He seemed to have a poem, but he was hesitant when he wanted to write. How could such a thing happen.

I can't hear the conversation over there, and I can only let some information slowly pass over. The strange atmosphere spread among the talented people watching the theater around, whispering and pointing, the Chen brothers relaxed their emotions, While feeling happy, they occasionally looked at each other, and then looked at Ye Chen.

Someone shook his head, wondering: "Just now Li Shiwen was provoking Liu Zongyang, why can't he write at this time?"

"Could it be that I thought there was a good word before, and then I discovered that there was a sentence I hadn't thought about?"

"Hmph! Let you write poems to compare with "Qinhuai Night Mooring" and "Reminiscence of Homeland", do you dare to write?" Someone suddenly reacted and figured out something.

The person who asked was stunned, and then laughed dumbly, "Hehehe, I didn't think of this, no wonder... If I used to write poems, I must have been in trouble for a long time. I happened to meet him, and Li Shiwen was in trouble this time."

"Is it Chen Qing and Chen Zhongshu from "Qinhuai Night Mooring" and "Reminiscing Homeland"? I didn't expect to have reached this point." Some people who just returned to Jinling City from other places were puzzled at first, but then stopped talking , looking at the scene opposite, chewing the two poems in my heart, uncertain.

Li Shiwen hesitated for a long time, and finally put down the pen, and the people who came with him surrounded him as if they were amnesty, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.Then he took the poem to the other side, but his eyes stayed in the direction of the window. The previous arrogant and taunting attitude has been swept away. At this time, there are only a few words on the scene. , and then waited a little nervously for the reaction there.

Ye Chen sat by the window, thinking about the various arrangements for tonight, after the incident, the follow-up reactions of Liu Linxuan and Liu Jinyu, and the fact that no one had the slightest doubt about his identity, etc., he made some calculations.
