Most people have now heard of this poetry meeting, and there are already many students around who are gearing up, hoping to express their ambitions in this poetry meeting through Xie Xiuyuan's words.
Wen Ranran originally thought that Lu Shenyan was like this, but the next second, Lu Shenyan's words surprised Wen Ranran.
"Poetry party? What a shameless thing, it's just a vanity carnival for the rich!"
Wen Ranran: "..."
Xie Xiuyuan also seemed to be choked, but this child's psychological quality was relatively strong, and he was obviously an old acquaintance with Lu Shenyan, so he pretended not to have heard such depressing words from him.
"Let me tell you, His Majesty really wants to select talents this time! You...you said you are so old, how long have you been in the capital? Ah? Seven or eight years, right? You don't want to go home with honor and glory for your ancestors
Take a look?"
Xie Xiuyuan is young, but compared with Lu Shenyan, who is almost a full round older than him, he is like a worried old woman now.
When Lu Shenyan heard the word "go home", his eyes seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and then fell silent again.
"Go home? Over the years, my family may have forgotten that I am a person... just let them treat me as dead!"
Xie Xiuyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, "At least there are still people in your family who are thinking about you! Look at my house... basically no one is there!"
Lu Shenyan looked at Xie Xiuyuan, hesitated to speak, and finally stopped his so-called wildness.
"Brother Xie, you know me... I have lost confidence in the so-called court. I can't speak freely or express political opinions... If I say anything harsh, I will be demoted and suppressed by my peers. Maybe, in my lifetime
, is only suitable for a mediocre life, and be a vulgar person with an unfair heart!"
Xie Xiuyuan was stunned. Looking at Lu Shenyan like this, he didn't know how to persuade him.
Lu Shenyan was an old senior he had known since he first came to the capital.
At that time, Xie Xiuyuan was already a leader among the scholars, but he was severely beaten by Lu Shenyan at a poetry meeting.
That mouth was so venomous that it was so heart-wrenching that it criticized the so-called political opinions of my youth as worthless and hit the nail on the head.
So Xie Xiuyuan got angry... and had a fight with Lu Shenyan, who was over 30 years old.
When scholars fight, they naturally have little strength to speak of. In the end, the literary fight turned into a physical fight and ended with Xie Xiuyuan having a black eye and Lu Shenyan having a claw mark on his face.
Since then, the two have known each other for a long time. Although they are more than ten years apart, they have become friends forever.
Nowadays, the Xie family has been overturned. Xie Xiuyuan is ranked in the third rank, quite similar to Cheng Fenglou back then, but Lu Shenyan is still the poor scholar who hangs around the streets of Qinlou and Chuguan, making a living by writing lyrics and buying paintings.
.
"Besides..." A trace of awkwardness flashed across Lu Shenyan's face, "Back then, I directly criticized the emperor and swaggered out of the Tai Chi Hall. If I go back now... I would be so embarrassed!"
Xie Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. Seeing the awkward look on Lu Shenyan's face, his expression drifted slightly.
I am an old man in his thirties, is it really okay to be so arrogant?
"I don't care... I have to tie him up for you!" Xie Xiuyuan couldn't help but said, pulling him back to go back, "Stop drinking your shabby rice wine, I have a good flower carving in my house!"
Lu Shenyan curled his lips and brushed away the other party's hand, "No, you are a high-ranking official now. Maybe the people around you will think you are looking for me to have some shady plot! After saying that, get out of here! I won't do it at the poetry meeting."
I'll go, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand my bad temper, and I'll just spray those scholars until they're so ashamed that they can't even get off the stage!"
Xie Xiuyuan looked at the angry and eager eyes of the people around him with his head down, and pulled the other person back awkwardly.
"You...speak less! Wasn't the beating you received before enough?"
As soon as the other party opens his mouth, all the scholars in the room will probably cry...
If it weren't for the fact that he was now rich and often came to play with Lu Shenyan, he would have been beaten to death before he could leave the Qingfeng Tea House.
"Stop talking? Isn't it true that they are incompetent and talentless?"
Lu Shenyan sneered, successfully arousing hatred throughout the building.
