243 [Oiran and Maid]
"Master Qin, please take a seat."
Pei Yue had long been accustomed to being the focus of everyone's attention. He took the initiative on the court as a matter of course and did not look at Xue Tao's face. He asked Qin Xu to sit on the left side of Xue Tao, then he sat on the right side, and invited Qin Xu who came up from the eighth floor.
Ten people, including Zhao Xianhong, the prefect of Xingyang, sat down. After finishing all this work, he saw Xue Tao, who was caught in the middle, looking slightly gloomy.
As expected of a feudal official, if it were a dandy like that, he would have turned the tables and turned against him.
Only now did Qin Xu notice the strange atmosphere at the table, and he was immediately startled. He thought that Xue Tao and Pei Yue had just had a conflict, so he stopped pestering Pei Yue for lyrics and thought about how to deal with the next situation.
On the other hand, Lingzhou farewell Liu Renji, who was also sitting at the main table, asked curiously: "Oh? Could it be that Lord Pei just wrote some good words downstairs? Why don't you let us appreciate it too? Sir, please don't go too far."
So stingy."
At other times, Pei Yue didn't want to be so high-profile. After all, he copied the lyrics himself, and he felt a little ashamed of Yi An. However, Xue Tao's attitude made him very unhappy. After all, we are an imperial envoy, and we came to Lingzhou to help.
Why do you put on a bad face all day long when you do things?
At this time, Pei Yue was very sure that Xie Xinci downstairs was Xue Tao's man, so he looked at Liu Renji and smiled and said: "I think Bijia knows the rules of today's lotus banquet. I'm just a rough guy who wields swords and guns.
How can a person know how to recite poems and compose lyrics?
?But the person who thanked everyone said that each person should write a lyric. Although he later said that I didn’t have to do it, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing? The person who thanked everyone was not only talented, but also a beauty with the beauty of the country. I think Xue
Does the governor also recognize it?"
He suddenly turned the topic to Xue Tao, with an impeccable and gentle smile on his face.
Xue Tao said expressionlessly: "I've heard of it."
Pei Yue laughed loudly and said: "This is what heroes think alike, right? In front of such beauties, although I am not literate, I still want to earn some face, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. What's more, I am still an imperial envoy, even if
I am just a deputy envoy, which also represents His Majesty's majesty. If His Majesty knows that I have to rely on charity from others for a banquet in Lingzhou, wouldn't it be a loss to His Majesty's face? Mr. Qin, are you right?"
Qin Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile: "Brother Pei is right."
He regrets it very much now, especially after seeing Xue Tao's attitude towards Pei Yue. He should not have gotten involved in this matter at all. How about letting Pei Yue continue to stay in Xingya? It's all his fault that he only saw those nine
Everyone, after being encouraged by others, became obsessed with pulling Pei Yue over.
Pei Yue, however, had no intention of paying attention to his confusion and continued: "I think that Mr. Xie is not very old, but he can secure the position of the chief poet. He must be an amazingly talented person. With me being illiterate,
With so much skill, why would you bother to show your shame in front of her? Liu Biejia, do you think this is the truth?"
He was shooting here and there with a stick, seemingly without a clue, but he seemed to be hinting at something, which made everyone at the table feel dizzy.
Liu Renji is actually just a good old man. If he didn't have this kind of character, he wouldn't be able to survive for a long time under a strong person like Xue Tao. He intuitively felt that there was something wrong with Pei Yue's words. However, he was the one who was trying to ease the atmosphere just now, and Pei Yue was also giving him face. At this time
Naturally, I couldn't keep silent, so I had to nod cautiously and said: "Your Majesty, you are being too modest, but I am indeed a talented female lyricist."
"That's right, otherwise why would she be the oiran?"
Pei Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then said to everyone: "Since I don't want to break the rules and climb the stairs shamelessly, but I don't want to be embarrassed in front of Mr. Xie. It's really a dilemma. Can you teach me how to break the situation?"
Everyone was silent.
Xue Tao said indifferently: "Pei Yue, the banquet is about to begin. Let's make a long story short."
Pei Yue laughed and said: "What the governor said is that I was indeed a bit verbose today. Looking back at the scene at that time, I suddenly remembered that the maid at home, named Taohuazhe, had always liked reading and had written many poems before. One of the poems
The composition happens to be related to lotus, so I borrowed this poem to use it. I’m sure you guys won’t blame me for being too ridiculous, right?”
In fact, even Xue Tao is a little puzzled. Can a mere maid's lyrics really change Xie Xinci's attitude? Can it really make the talented people from Lingzhou who followed behind turn pale?
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Master Pei, what kind of lyrics are they? Can you let me wait and see?"
Pei Yue showed a hint of embarrassment, as if the poem was really ordinary.
Zhao Xianhong, the prefect of Xingyang, plucked up the courage and said: "Master Pei, if you are willing to come up with this wonderful poem, how can it be ridiculous? In my opinion, without this poem, tonight's Furong Banquet would be a bit eclipsed!"
"
These words completely aroused the curiosity of the rest.
Zhao Xianhong, who usually could only be a yes man next to Xue Tao, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention today. He felt a little excited and recited the poem written by Pei Yue with great energy.
In fact, except for Pei Yue, everyone else tonight is a truly knowledgeable person. Even if he is not good at writing poems, his appreciation level is still very high. After all, it is difficult to become a high-quality civil servant without reading thousands of books. When Zhao Xianhong cadenced Li Qingzhao's words,
When I recited the poem Yi Jian Mei, the beauty of the words from Pei Yue's previous life suddenly came to this world, and the impact was even more exaggerated than Pei Yue imagined.
Just because these people understand, they understand the weight of this poem better.
After Zhao Xianhong finished reading, he was still immersed in the beauty of the transcendent meaning, shaking his head and praising it repeatedly.
Those who were able to reach the top were all high-ranking civil servants in Lingzhou, and at last they were at the prefect level like Zhao Xianhong. Therefore, they still had at least some sense and praised the poem one after another. They did not distort the facts because of Pei Yue's status as a martial artist.
Liu Renji endured it again and again, but was finally convinced by this poem and sighed: "There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I frowned, but it was in my heart. These three sentences are particularly wonderful. Although the words are simple, they can capture the feeling.
The fleeting mood of farewell, and the depiction of it so vividly, it is impressive and unforgettable. In my humble opinion, this work ranks first among the best poems about this year's Hibiscus Banquet."
Zhao Xianhong hurriedly said: "Indeed, I'm afraid even thanking everyone can't write such words."
Liu Renji looked at him with complicated eyes and did not take up the topic.
As the master, Xue Tao looked as usual and even praised him twice. Pei Yue had to sigh that the governor of Yizhou was really good at nourishing qi. He was trying to trample his face under his words, but he could not hold back.
Get angry.
It can be seen that his plans are very big.
Xue Tao's heart is not as calm as he shows.
Xie Xinci is the oiran he has trained with all his efforts. No one in Lingzhou will question this matter. However, tonight Pei Yue used a maid to humiliate him.
He didn't believe Pei Yue's nonsense at all. If a mere maid could write such words, she would have become famous all over the world. What's more, I really don't know your background? Three years ago, you were just a person who couldn't even eat.
How can a maid who likes reading come from a well-fed bastard?
This poem was either written by Pei Yue himself, or he ordered someone to prepare it in advance. The reason why he took it out tonight was just to use this little trick to disturb his mood.
