Chapter 33 Drinking together

When Xia Ziqi saw Xu Xian, he immediately put on a smile and said, "I wonder who is so elegant that he comes here alone in a boat. It turns out to be Xu Tanhua." He smiled on his face, but felt disgusted in his heart. But when he said this, everyone at the table was shocked.

Regardless of whether they knew Xu Xian or not, everyone was in awe. The song "The Sapphire Case" has been circulated, and everyone was heartbroken when they heard it!

Before Xu Xian could answer, the young master in Zhu Yi came forward and pulled Xu Xian and said with a smile: "Yuan Dao is some indifferent vulgar creature who disturbed our poetry meeting. I didn't expect that an honored guest came to our door. I'm Jin Shengjie. I was so rude just now."

I'll punish myself with three glasses of wine." He said and drank three full glasses of wine from the banquet.

After drinking, Xu Xian was invited to sit down. After a brief introduction by others, Xu Xian learned that Jin Shengjie was the youngest son of Jin Wancheng, the richest man in Jiangnan. He had only recently arrived in Hangzhou. The reason was that he heard that the most talented woman in Jiangnan was here and came here to pay a visit.

I can’t wait for the New Year to be over.

He invited scholars from Hangzhou to gather for a drink. Halfway through the drink, he saw heavy snowfall, so he moved here to enjoy the snow, drink wine, and talk about literature and poetry.

"It turns out he is Mr. Jin's son. Xu Xian is polite." Xu Xian still has some respect for Jin Wancheng.

Jin Shengjie had a playful smile on his face. Xu Xian had forgotten about him, but he still remembered Xu Xian's appearance. On Lantern Festival night, Dinggu had two beauties sitting downstairs. Later, he helped his father regain the six black diamonds, but was taken advantage of by him again.

After a training session, I really remembered it deeply. I can’t say I want to get back on track today.

Xu Xian felt a little bored, so he went out alone to explore the secluded places. It was just a way of relaxing his mind. However, when something like this happened, he had known that he would never come. But now he had to borrow someone else's boat to go back, so he decided to join in and said:

"Sorry for disturbing you." He took a seat in the corner and sat down.

Jin Shengjie refused to let him go, "I came to Hangzhou and invited famous people all over the place, but I heard that Brother Xu lives in Qiantang, so I didn't invite them. Today is such a great fate, let me toast you first."

Xu Xian said nothing and drank with a smile.

Jin Shengjie smiled and said, "It's your turn now."

Xu Xian asked strangely: "Why is it my turn?"

"Recite a poem. We agreed before the banquet that if you want to sit down at the table, you must first write a poem about the heavy snow. And there can't be a single word "snow" in the poem. Mr. Xu is a great talent, so there must be no problem.

!" Jin Shengjie, however, deliberately wanted to test Xu Xian. During the banquet, he only ate and drank, and did not recite any poems to open the banquet. The people around him did not expose him, but just watched the excitement.

Xu Xian lamented in his heart: I knew it.

Without refusing, he said: "Here comes the poem." The people at the table were greatly surprised. Although this question cannot be said to be extremely difficult, it did not come so easily. Jin Shengjie was also curious about what kind of poem Xu Xian could recite.

Xu Xian played with the cup in his hand and said with a strange smile on his face: "There is nothing on the lake, there are black holes on the well, the yellow dog's body is white, and the white dog's body is swollen."

"Hahaha" everyone roared with laughter. Wen Wu was the first, and Wu Wu was the second. Who among the people sitting here was convinced by Xu Xian, the leader of the four young talents in Jiangnan. When he saw him coming, he was arrogant and unruly.

Mr. Jin was so polite, and Xia Ziqi was not the only one who was dissatisfied. At this time, he still laughed loudly and let out such bad breath.

Xu Xian played with the wine glass in his hand, looked at the laughing faces of everyone, and cast his eyes boredly into the snowflakes in the sky outside the pavilion. The world is vast, and this smiling man is nothing compared to it. He himself is not worth mentioning.

Unconsciously, a sense of indifference spread in his heart and gradually penetrated into his bones.

"Okay!" A sudden shout broke the laughter, and Jin Shengjie slammed the table, startling everyone. "There is no word for snow, the meaning of snow is full of it, and he is witty and wise, not out of the ordinary, Brother Xu

He is indeed a great talent.”

Xu Xian thought to himself: This Jin Shengjie is quite talented. The poem he recited can be regarded as the originator of limericks. Although it does not follow the rules of the limericks, the fact that it has been passed down through the ages is enough to prove its value. At this moment, he just cupped his hands and said: "Thank you very much."

Seeing everyone drinking, talking and laughing, Xu Xian couldn't help but think of Pan Yu, but now the protagonist was replaced by Jin Shengjie. It's just that he didn't have Mingyu's roundness and smoothness, and his ability to make everyone feel like a spring breeze. Instead, he was crazy and wanton, like

He has thorns all over his body. Although he is good at joking, he never underestimates other people's feelings when joking. However, after a few bursts of laughter, the atmosphere became very lively.

But one thing he has in common with Pan Yu is that everyone wants to fawn over him. The Great Xia Dynasty did not suppress business, but encouraged it. Although the status of businessmen could not be higher than that of scholars, it was second only. Jin Wancheng, the richest man in Jiangnan

He is not just an ordinary businessman. Collusion between government and business is not a word that was coined in modern times.

When a group of men, even if they are scholars, chat together and drink some wine, the topic will always turn to that topic involuntarily. When they talk about sleeping with prostitutes, oh, as they say, sleeping with flowers and sleeping with willows, they are all excited.

Face flushed.

Xia Ziqi said: "Brother Jin, I have heard about the famous names of Yangzhou Shiyan for a long time. You must have tasted them all!"

Another red-faced scholar echoed: "Not only Shi Yan, don't you know that last year's Yangzhou courtesan, Miss Su Wansu, became a member of Brother Jin's room. I heard that Brother Jin did not participate in this first snow test. This is why,

If he participates." He wanted to say, "He will be the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River." But he was still worried that the words would reach Pan Yu, so he froze there. Then he had an idea and said, "I will put it above those four young talented people."

"

Jin Shengjie blinked and said jokingly: "I'm afraid I'm the first of these four young talents from Jiangnan!"

Xu Xian, the current leader of the Four Young Talents in Jiangnan, burst into laughter.

Xia Ziqi immediately asked: "Brother Xu, why are you laughing? We all admire Mr. Jin's talent."

Xu Xian smiled and shook his head and said: "I have no intention of making fun of Brother Jin, I just suddenly remembered something."

Jin Shengjie asked curiously: "What's the matter?" He was humorous and was more interested in interesting things than poetry.

Xu Xian coughed twice, cleared his throat and said: "Wasps and rats are sworn sworn brothers. Please go over and make a pledge of alliance. I have no choice but to be listed as the third person. My friend asked me: How can I be listed under the rats?"

Jin Shengjie received the question with great interest: "Why?"

"One of them knows how to drill and the other knows how to stab. I can only let them go."

Jin Shengjie immediately burst into laughter, while Xia Ziqi and the red-faced scholar stared at Xu Xian with embarrassment. Xu Xian didn't care, poured himself a drink, and drank it slowly.

Others tried to smooth things over by saying, "Brother Jin has been hanging around Yangzhou for a long time, and today he came to Hangzhou. I don't know what the scenery is like. Compared with Hangzhou, which one is better or worse?"

Jin Shengjie thought for a while, as if he was nostalgic for the romantic days in the past, with an intoxicated look on his face: "A thousand dollars buys a smile, and we play and sing every night. Or I get drunk to have a sweet dream tonight, or I write lyrics for Sakura to sing in a low voice, it's really like heaven.

.Although Hangzhou is called a paradise on earth, it is nothing more than green mountains and green waters, which are far inferior to the scenery of Yangzhou. I am afraid that this Caifeng girl will not be able to live up to her reputation!"

Everyone here is from Hangzhou. The more ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient, the stronger the sense of regionalism. When Jin Shengjie said this, they all had expressions of disdain, but no one refuted it, and it was a bit awkward for a while.

But I heard someone chant: "Even if I quit my job, I have a dream of a brothel, but it's hard to be affectionate." Xu Xian was shaking his head to himself, as if lamenting.

Jin Shengjie was startled and was about to say something when he heard the young man in Tsing Yi call out: "Miss Caifeng is here."

Everyone straightened up and looked, and saw a painted boat coming through the snow and stopping at the shore. A woman in green came out and said: "It's snowing outside, please get on the boat."

Jin Shengjie said with a smile: "This Miss Caifeng is very proud. It seems that our banquet will have to be changed three times."

Xu Xian stood up and said: "Mr. Jin, I won't go. Please lend me your boat to take me back!"

But Jin Shengjie came to stop Xu Xiandao and said, "How about that? Those three sentences of yours are extremely subtle. I want to ask you for advice again!"

"A thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend, but half a sentence is enough to talk without speculation." Xu Xian and this group of people basically talk without speculation, but Jin Shengjie, who is full of sharpness, seems a little more interesting. But he doesn't want to join in the fun.

, persisted for some time. Jin Shengjie had to order his boatman to take Xu Xian to the shore, but when Xu Xian was about to board the boat, he was pulled back by him.

Turning around, Jin Shengjie winked, "There are poems for entering and leaving the banquet. If Brother Xu can recite it, I will give it up. If he can't recite it, I will let my ship sail far away immediately. You have to finish this banquet with me."

No."

Xu Xian knew that this handsome young man was going too hard, and he couldn't pull him back. "What kind of chanting technique are you going to use?"

Jin Shengjie smiled and said: "Since you say Hangzhou is good, you will use Hangzhou as the title. I have to be satisfied. But I won't embarrass you. If you can't sing a sentence, I will let you go." Take Hangzhou.

Anyone can recite poems, but it is extremely difficult to satisfy him. And if a scholar with a good reputation cannot recite poems in Hangzhou, it would be a big embarrassment.

Xu Xian hesitated for a moment, and the scholars waiting to board the boat were impatient, but Jin Shengjie, the host, couldn't get on the boat. How could they get on? It would cost a lot to invite Cai Feng to the boat.

Caifeng asked through the curtains in the boat: "Qingluan, why haven't they come up yet? Do you want me to invite them?"

Qingluan turned around and whispered: "Miss, it's Xu Xian who cheated. He was forced to recite poetry? Let's wait and see how he embarrassed himself." Her resentment towards Pan Yu and Xu Xian was quite deep.

Xu Xian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Poetry cannot be recited." When Jin Shengjie was stunned, he broke free from his hand and jumped on the boat.

Jin Shengjie said with a sullen face: "That's it, that's all, let's send this vulgar thing away." He ordered the boatman to sail. Qingluan clapped his hands and smiled and said, "He is indeed a straw bag."

The ship slowly sailed away, and Xu Xian stood on the deck and smiled: "There is a poem."

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but be drawn to him again. Xia Ziqi couldn't help but think of the first time he met Xu Xian. Although Xu Xian was magnanimous at that time, it didn't leave a big impression on him.

The figure with flying clothes in the wind and snow has become so flying without knowing when.

"The southeastern shape is beautiful, the three Wu cities, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Smoked willow painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, there are hundreds of thousands of homes. Clouds and trees surround the dike and sand. Raging waves roll up frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The cities are lined with pearls, and the houses are full of flowers.

, compete for luxury.

The lakes are stacked with Qingjia. There are three autumn osmanthus and ten miles of lotus. Qiang pipes clear the sky, and the water chestnut songs fill the night. They play and fish for old lotus babies. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. They listen to the drums while drunk, and enjoy the haze. Pictures of the future.

It’s a wonderful scene, let’s go back to Fengchi to praise it.”
