Chapter 91: Love Poems (4)
The Golden Wind Tower here is the focus of the city of Bianjing tonight.
Under the eaves, a huge red lantern was hung high, and above the lantern, the word "love" was written in thick hair.
The handwriting is flying and phoenix dances, and the cursive script is unparalleled. The signature is the word "Qian". Anyone who knows it knows that this word represents Mi Fu.
The carriages parked outside the Golden Wind Tower were endless at a glance, and the guests were staggered left and right, and they were in and out in an orderly manner.
At this time, a carriage carrying a two-headed horse slowly stopped, and the manager of Jinfeng Tower quickly ordered someone to take his feet and pedal over.
"Oh, Mr. Chongyuan's journey is so bright that the Golden Wind Tower is so bright. Please come and ask...uh."
The butler just reached out to pull the curtain of the car, but no Xu Jiang was seen. He saw that it was Xu Fen. His smile froze at first, and then he said, "It turns out to be Mr. Xu, please come inside."
There was a difference in attitudes before and after, and Xu Fen was not stupid, so he could understand it, but he also knew that he could not afford to offend the person behind Jinfeng Tower, so he bowed his hand to the manager, and then walked into Jinfeng Tower with his head held high and his chest held high.
When you walk into the main entrance, you will see a garden with elegant layout and leisurely ancient charm. Various precious stones are piled up to form steep rocks, corridors and pavilions, interlaced in an orderly manner. The hanging lanterns illuminate the entire yard. After looking around, you will find the location of several friends...
At this time, a huge force suddenly came from behind him, pushing him staggeringly and almost fell to the ground.
"Who is the one who doesn't open his eyes?"
A lot of anger surged into his heart, intending to vent the resentment that the manager had just brought to him on this man.
However, when he turned his head and saw that he was stunned.
"Jane, Your Highness, King Jian!"
The person who came was Zhao Si. He frowned slightly, glanced at Shifen, raised a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Are you stupid to read? A good dog doesn't understand if you don't block the way?"
Xu Fen was holding a breath in his heart, but he didn't dare to vent. He knew that Zhao Si had resentment towards their Xu family, because his father Xu Jiang and he supported Empress Dowager Xiang, that is, King Duan Zhao Ji, who proclaimed himself emperor.
The reason why Xu Fen has been making money in the past few years is to please King Duan, hoping to make a fortune in the future. He is very self-aware and knows that once his father Xu General retreats from the Privy Council, he will lose his domineering capital.
"Haha, Your Highness Jian is joking, please ask first." Xu Fen bowed his hand in a humble and arrogant manner, and gave in to the side.
Zhao Si raised his sword-brow and wanted to take the opportunity to give Zhao Ji a warning, but he didn't expect that he was so brave and could laugh when scolded as a dog. It was so boring.
Watching Zhao Si go directly to the third floor, Xu Fen smiled with a gloomy look, muttering with a little hindsight: "Just a free prince without power, you will be nice in the future."
After saying this, I felt much more relieved. Xu Fen turned his head and walked towards his friend's place, raised his head again, and his face was full of spring...
"Brother Xu."
"Mr. Xu..."
Enjoying all kinds of compliments along the way, Xu Fen had already abandoned the unhappiness that Zhao Si and the manager brought to him.
When I arrived at the banquet, someone gave up his seat.
"Hahaha, you guys came so early."
Xu Fen pulled out the paper fan from his waist, unfolded it handsomely, and said while fanning.
The few people here are his fans, saying that their fans may have given him some face, but in fact they are all flattering people.
Xu Fen himself knows this more than anyone else, but he just enjoys the feeling of being praised for his feet.
"Brother Xu, you are late. As agreed, you will have to punish yourself for three cups, hahaha..."
"It's easy to say. If you can hold the beauty back tonight, don't talk about three cups, it's okay to have thirty cups, and three hundred cups."
Xu Fen raised his wine glass and drank it all. Several people present laughed. One of them came over and asked, "Brother Xu, the poem has been published. Brother Xu has a draft of his absurdity. I will write it out to open everyone's eyes."
"Yes, Mr. Xu is knowledgeable and talented. He will recite a song tonight no matter what. Miss Su from Jinfeng Tower just now said that she will play and sing the top ten masterpieces tonight."
Xu Fen's eyes lit up and said in surprise: "Miss Su is willing to come out to sing tonight?"
Several dog-legged men came over one after another, and one of them said, "Brother Xu doesn't know that there are many amazing people coming tonight. I just saw Mr. Wanqiu (Zhang Lei) and Mr. Wujiu (Chao Buzhi) get off the carriage together."
"That's not, when I came in, who was walking ahead? Do you know?"
"Who?"
"Mi Fu, didn't you pay attention? The word "Love" outside was written by Grand Secretary Mi himself."
Xu Fen was stunned at first when he heard this, then a light flashed in his eyes: "You said Mr. Nangong is here too?"
Mi Fu is also known as Mi Nangong, and many people directly call him Mr. Nangong.
Xu Fen admired Mi Fu extremely, dreaming that one day he would be like Mi Fu, and would be able to have a prosperous life between the officialdom and the scholars!
The man nodded: "Yes, and I heard that he would read the poems tonight, and he would select the best top ten and give them to Miss Su to play and sing."
"Oh, this is a great opportunity. Brother Xu, you have it long ago... Cough cough, with Brother Xu's talent, it is definitely not a problem to enter the top ten. Lu will congratulate Brother Xu first."
Xu Fen was prepared for a long time today, and they all knew about this because the poems prepared by Xu Fen were "excellent works" that they had been struggling with for seven or eight nights before they could integrate.
Although these people are all flattering people, their talents and knowledge are actually not bad. Two of them are top students in the Imperial College, and they are just one chance to enter the court to become officials. This is also the main reason why they please Xu Feng.
When Xu Fen heard their instigation, he immediately became brave and hoped that it would be great if his poem could be taken by Mr. Nangong and he would go upstairs to talk to him.
Thinking of this, Xu Fen slapped the paper in his hand and said enthusiastically: "Come here, I'm here to serve you in the pen and ink. I already have a draft of my heart."
The servant who had been waiting behind him for a long time immediately brought the four treasures of the study.
The hall also became quiet because of his voice. Many people came to them and found that it was a lot of people, and they surrounded them.
"So it's Brother Xu. I've got a draft of it so soon. Write it up and take a look. Let me wait and see it."
"It's easy to say, please wait for a while, hahaha..."
Xu Fen gathered at him when he saw everyone, and his vanity was already bursting out. When he bowed, he still looked towards the third floor. How great would it be if it could attract Mi Nangong's attention? It would be a pity that there was no one behind the windowsill.
When he picked up the pen, Xu Fen did not forget to ponder. Seeing that there was no movement on the third floor, he sighed in disappointment.
At this moment, a noise came from the front door.
"Everyone, everyone, the one who is playing the game is here. Luoshui Poetry Club has sent a poem. The first sentence at the beginning makes us unable to compete. Brothers, come and take a look. You have to fight back quickly, otherwise we will lose tonight."
