The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 95 Yan Xiao

Wind chill, plum fragrance.

The surrounding guests condemned Dou Hao, Zhao Chengxu and others.

"These juniors are really rude, how can they say that they are old?"

"Who says it's not, tsk tsk, you're uneducated!"

"........."

"........."

As everyone said this, Dou Hao and Zhao Chengxu were anxious and angry, their cheeks were slightly red, Liu Wei and Zhao Defang looked at each other and smiled, as if they didn't take those people's condemnation to heart.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "Master Yan is here, Master Yan is here."

Hearing the voice, everyone hurried out of the way, and then a graceful man in his fifties approached surrounded by people. Liu Wei glanced in that direction, and saw that Yan Xiao looked calm, as if he didn't If there is any emotional turmoil because of the trouble here, I think he is an extremely well-mannered person.

But behind Yan Xiao, there was another person whom Liu Wei knew, Pan Mei's son Pan Weiji.

Liu Wei knew that Pan Weiji had been targeting him all the time, and even guessed that many of the previous things were caused by Pan Weiji, but Pan Weiji was not very old, which made Liu Wei dare not think about many things about him. Liu Wei was a little surprised to see Pan Weiji.

Pan Weiji followed Yan Xiao, and was shocked when he saw Liu Wei and the others. He was not familiar with Yan Xiao, but his father, Pan Mei, knew Yan Xiao. He came to greet Yan Xiao on behalf of the elders. In addition, he also has the intention of making friends.There are quite a few people in his Shenwu Workshop, and these people also need food and clothing, and they also need to help take care of their families, all of which need money. Although Pan Weiji has a lot of property in other places, he is a little tight after all. If he could get Yan Xiao's help, he might be able to expand the scale of Shenwu Workshop.

It's just that he didn't expect to meet Liu Wei in this garden full of plum blossoms.

As Yan Xiao approached, he already understood what was going on. Seeing that those scholars had offended King Qin Kanghui, his heart sank. He was about to go forward to salute, but Zhao Defang stopped him with a wave.

"Boss Yan, it's just a misunderstanding. My two friends are a little outspoken. Don't be surprised."

Although Zhao Defang hates those scholars who like to flatter, if their identities are known, people will inevitably think that they are bullying others, and these scholars are often arrogant and difficult to deal with. not good.

Yan Xiao is a sensible person, after hearing Zhao Defang's words, he quickly smiled and said: "Since it's a misunderstanding, then forget it, you all come to my Yan Mansion today, don't you think it's not a pleasure to come here?"

The surroundings were silent, in this place, who would dare to make Yan Xiao unhappy?
But Dou Hao and Zhao Chengxu were a little unhappy, because just now Zhao Defang said that the two of them were open-minded, and they were open-mouthed. They just wanted to teach those sycophants a lesson.

But they didn't want to spoil Zhao Defang's affairs, so they could only hold back the anger in their hearts.

As soon as the scholars saw Yan Xiao coming, Zhao Defang immediately changed his mind, thinking that Zhao Defang and the others were afraid of Yan Xiao, so they were a little complacent, and also a little unreasonable.

"It's really great that you can correct your mistakes, but you should learn to be polite to others in the future."

"That is, don't just dare to be a hero in front of us."

"........."

Those scholars talked more and more vigorously, Yan Xiao Ze's cheeks were reddened, and he was very hesitant. These scholars are all talented, and it is very likely that they will ascend to the court in the future. He intends to recruit these people, so he does not dare to show any Blame it, for fear that these people will become prosperous in the future and hold grudges, but Zhao Defang in front of him is not easy to provoke.

For a while, he didn't dare to offend.

Pan Weiji stood behind Yan Xiao, saw Yan Xiao like this, knew that Yan Xiao wanted to win over these scholars, and was afraid of offending Zhao Defang, so he stood up and smiled slightly: "I don't know why some of you are angry, but look at everyone If you are a scholar, if you want to fight for strengths, why not fight for knowledge? It’s a bit of a shame to try to make a quick move here.”

As Pan Weiji said, he glanced at Liu Wei and smiled at Liu Wei. He didn't mean to expose Liu Wei and the others' identities; he knew that Liu Wei and Zhao Defang didn't want to reveal their identities. Offending Zhao Defang, and he knew very well that with Liu Wei's talent and Zhao Defang's identity, if he said it, which of these scholars would dare to compare?
It's not more than learning, where is there fun to watch?
Moreover, no matter whether Liu Wei wins or loses, he has something to say. If Liu Wei wins, he will have to find a favor with Zhao Defang, and if Liu Wei loses, he said that he thought Liu Wei's talent , shouldn't lose, so, then Liu Wei can't do anything to him?
The most important thing is that what he said happened to solve Yan Xiao's danger. Originally, Yan Xiao didn't want to offend no matter which side, but he was not good at favoring that side. Now Pan Weiji's words have found a very fair solution. However, he said that Xiao stayed out of the matter.

As soon as Pan Weiji said this, Dou Hao and Zhao Chengxu felt that Pan Weiji was partial to them, because who knew that Liu Wei on their side was recognized as a great talent in the capital?How could they be afraid of a few unknown scholars?
So after Pan Weiji said something, Dou Hao immediately stood up and said: "Okay, it's more like learning, I just don't know if you scholars who only know how to flatter will dare to take up the challenge."

Those scholars thought they were talented, but they felt that the people in front of them looked more like playboys, and they were even more fearless in their hearts, saying: "Compare, compare, whoever is afraid of whom."

Seeing that both sides agreed, Yan Xiao felt at ease, and said: "In this case, let's have a poetry competition. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so there should be some prizes. This old man has a set of the four treasures of the high-end study room. Whose poetry is better?" How about sending it to whom?"

When everyone heard that it was the Four Treasures of the Superior Study, they all expressed their willingness.

And among those scholars, the one surnamed Wu seemed to be more determined to win, so he stood up and said, "I don't know what kind of poems you want me to compete with?"

Yan Xiao seemed to appreciate this scholar surnamed Wu very much. When he saw him standing up, he stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Today in this plum garden, it is natural to write poems about plum blossoms. Each person writes two poems, one poem and one poem. Ci, whoever is the best, the Four Treasures of the Study will be his."

After Yan Xiao finished speaking, those scholars, Dou Hao and the others had already started planning. Of course, Dou Hao and the others didn't care about the Four Treasures of the Study. It's just to save face.

After such a short time, the scholar already had thoughts, so he walked among the plum blossoms and recited two poems.

After one person chanted, the others followed suit. Dou Hao and Zhao Chengxu were both ordinary people, so after they chanted, those scholars sighed. Liang, but his poems show that he is knowledgeable.

After Zhao Defang finished, only Liu Wei and the scholar named Wu were left on both sides.

The scholar surnamed Wu was full of ambition at this time, he pondered for a while among the plum blossoms, and then recited two poems related to plum blossoms. Everyone couldn't help but be amazed when they heard the poems written by this man.

Liu Wei didn't value these scholars very much at all, but only after he heard the poems of the scholar named Wu did he realize that this person has real talents and practical learning. charm.

So he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

After the scholar surnamed Wu finished his work, seeing everyone praised him very much, he felt a little proud, so he looked at Liu Wei and said, "Only Xiongtai is left." Originally, the scholar surnamed Wu didn't want to be so polite, but he wanted to show Demeanor, he still used the term "brother", and besides, although they were arguing fiercely just now, the man in front of him didn't speak, so he used a more polite term.

After Liu Wei stood up, she smiled lightly: "Brother Taiwan's poetry is good, and you will definitely get a good result in the spring test after the spring begins."

The scholar surnamed Wu smiled lightly, then stretched out his hand slightly: "Please."

Seeing this, Dou Hao and Zhao Chengxu felt a little annoyed, so they cast their eyes on Liu Wei and urged him to act quickly.

Liu Wei shrugged, and then recited a poem, which said:

Mei Xue struggled for spring and refused to surrender.

Mei Xu Xunxue is three points white, but Xue loses Mei for a while.

After finishing the poem, everyone was shocked. Many poems about plum blossoms in the past and present regard plums and snow as the messengers of the spring, but the plums and snow in this poem are unhappy for the fight for spring, which is already novel in style. Unexpected, but only this level of meaning has never been mentioned by the ancients.In the last two sentences, each writes out the strengths and weaknesses of the two: plums are not as white as snow, and snow does not have plum fragrance.

The short lines of verses have created new ideas, and after careful consideration, I feel that there is a hint of exhortation. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so you must be self-aware.It is right to take advantage of others and make up for one's shortcomings.

As soon as this poem came out, Dou Hao, Zhao Chengxu and those scholars all blushed.

And when they were ashamed because of the dispute just now, they suddenly realized that the young man in front of them had such awareness and talent, it was really extraordinary.

"Brother's awareness is higher than ours, and we are inferior." The scholar surnamed Wu is an open-minded person, but after he finished saying this, he smiled and said: "It's just that I still want to talk to my brother." Let’s compare the lyrics, please write another poem.”

Literati are sometimes bloody and stubborn.

Liu Wei smiled, and then casually recited a song called Sheng Chazi and Chong Yemei:
Hundreds of flowers bloom on the head, see you in the ice and snow.The frost and the moon will know each other, and the spring breeze will be known first.

The master has deep affection and doesn't care about concubine Jiang's complaints.Fold my most complicated branches, and I will recommend you to curling.

After Liu Wei chanted this, he smiled again, and at this time, everyone looked around one after another. Among the plum blossoms in the garden, there were several trees with several layers of leaves blooming like small white lotuses, which were exactly the heavy leaves mentioned in the poem. plum.

When everyone saw the heavy leaf plum in the plum blossom forest, they couldn't help exclaiming, this young man is very talented, and he even has a lot of knowledge about plum blossoms!
