Zhao Ming became even more excited when he thought that Princess Yonghui, one of the main concubines of King Yan, was also here. Seeing that Zhao Ming greeted the two of them so enthusiastically, Yang Peng was afraid that it would inevitably attract attention, so he said: "Go and greet other guests.
Don't worry about us!" Zhao Ming's idea was to stay with King Yan and the princess to show his hospitality. However, since King Yan asked him to greet other guests, he did not dare to disobey, so he agreed and left.
Chai Yonghui breathed out and said: "This uncle from Xiangxiang is so enthusiastic that it's really unbearable!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "To express your gratitude for nothing is either adultery or theft!" Chai Yonghui's heart moved, and he frowned and nodded.
The two people followed the flow of people to the backyard. They saw that the small backyard was brightly lit and crowded with people. There were probably hundreds of people. Looking over, they saw pieces of Confucian scarves and fluttering Confucian shirts. Almost all of them were Confucian students, Yang Peng.
He Chai Yonghui was wearing ordinary casual clothes, which made him look very conspicuous here.
Chai Yonghui recognized several Confucian scholars and couldn't help but sigh: "After all, it is the birthday of the most talented woman in the world. All the famous talents in the Central Plains are here!" When Chai Yonghui was in her boudoir, she also had some contact with the so-called talents in the world.
So I got to know some of the famous talents.
Yang Peng held Chai Yonghui's slender hand and said with a smile: "I'm afraid these guys who come here are all drunken men. It's not because of the wine, it's not because of Miss Zhao's reputation as a talented woman, but because of her charming appearance! We should understand that scholars have a high-sounding mouth.
Those are all false. Reading poetry and books is actually about two things, one is money and the other is sex. The saying goes, 'There is a house of gold in the book, and there is beauty like jade in the book.' This is the truth."
Chai Yonghui rolled his eyes at Yang Peng and said angrily: "That's not what those two sentences mean!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "I think that's what they mean!" Looking at the yard in front of him, he saw seven or eight people sitting in the pavilion of the pond in the distance.
Personally, the person standing among the stars holding the moon is Chai Yonghui. Under the light of the fire, Zhao Xiangxiang, wearing a long aqua dress, looks particularly beautiful, like a hibiscus emerging from the water or a cuckoo under the moon. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she is still a beauty.
A rare beauty, especially the bookish temperament that comes from her soul, gives her a charming charm that is different from ordinary women. The few Confucian scholars surrounding her are handsome and elegant, and they must all be arrogant.
It’s just that Yang Peng, His Highness the King of Yan, doesn’t know any of the great talents.
Yang Peng smiled and said to Zhao Xiangxiang: "Your bestie is there, let's go over there." Zhao Xiangxiang nodded. The two walked over hand in hand.
The two walked into the pavilion. The talented people in the pavilion suddenly saw two men walking in holding hands, with very strange expressions. Zhao Xiangxiang showed joy, and quickly stood up to greet them. She hugged Chai Yonghui's arm,
The appearance was very intimate. When all the talented people saw this scene, they were all shocked. Then they cast their jealous eyes towards Chai Yonghui. However, after seeing Chai Yonghui's appearance clearly, they were all stunned again. They just thought that this pretty face was even more beautiful than Miss Zhao.
Ah, how could there be such a beautiful pretty face in the world!? When they came back to their senses, they all felt sorry for themselves. They just felt that the pretty face was so handsome, and Miss Zhao naturally liked him. Although these talented people in the pavilion were all
Those who are slightly famous do not know Chai Yonghui, so they do not know that this pretty girl is actually a big beauty pretending to be a beauty. As for those talented people who know Chai Yonghui, they have not come over. They are interested in Luo Yanran, and naturally they do not want to let Luo Yanran.
Yanran saw that she was too close to Zhao Xiangxiang and was far away from the pavilion. She could not see clearly the appearance of the people in the pavilion, so she did not recognize Chai Yonghui.
Zhao Xiangxiang glanced at Yang Peng and wanted to salute, but thought that since the other party came here in plain clothes, he must not want his identity to be known. With this thought, he did not salute, but just called softly: "Brother!"
Yang Peng chuckled, "The girl is getting more and more beautiful, I, the eldest brother, can rest assured!" Zhao Xiangxiang's pretty face blushed slightly, and she whispered some instructions to Ju'er, the personal maid beside her, who responded with a quick step.
After leaving, Zhao Xiangxiang asked Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui to sit down. The two sat down next to Zhao Xiangxiang.
A handsome young man sitting on the other side of Zhao Xiangxiang clasped his fist at Chai Yonghui with an unkind expression and said, "This young master is very unfamiliar, I don't know how to call him?" Chai Yonghui has been the princess for a long time, and everyone is respectful in front of her.
When he suddenly saw someone talking to him so rudely, he couldn't help but feel angry! But he didn't want to be on the same level as the other person, so he turned around to talk to Zhao Xiangxiang and ignored the talented man! "
When the talented man saw that the other party ignored him at all, his contempt was palpable, he couldn't help but feel very angry and wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare to get angry because of Zhao Xiangxiang's face. He sat there with his face flushed.
When the other talented people saw that he was defeated, they were secretly happy, and then they couldn't help but feel the same hatred and resentment. They felt that the pretty boy was too arrogant. A talented man in a black scholar's shirt clasped his fist towards Zhao Xiangxiang and said: "Miss Zhao, I don't know what these two
How do you call the young master? I am blind and do not know the wise men."
Zhao Xiangxiang couldn't help but feel troubled, and then she thought about it, pointed at Yang Peng and said: "This is my sworn brother, surnamed Yang." The talented people bowed their hands to Yang Peng: "I have admired you for a long time!" Yang Peng secretly laughed and returned the favor.
Zhao Xiangxiang pointed at Chai Yonghui again and said: "This is also my sworn brother, his surname is Chai." The talented people searched their minds for a talented man named Chai, but found nothing. They thought he was just a nobody, and they couldn't help but secretly despise him, but it hindered him.
In Zhao Xiangxiang's honor, they all clasped their fists and said, "I have admired you for a long time!" Chai Yonghui also returned the gesture.
The talented man in black said with a smile: "I have never seen these two in Shilin. I guess you are not locals of Tianjing New City, right?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "We are locals of Tianjing New City. You haven't seen them before."
But we are not surprised, because we are not Confucian scholars or scholars!"
Everyone suddenly realized that they could not help but show contempt and arrogance in their expressions. This is the case with scholars. They are inferior in everything but good at reading. They look down on everyone else! Fortunately, they are still in the way of Zhao Xiangxiang's face, otherwise, they would be on the spot.
There were a few people who wanted to walk away to show that they were noble Confucian scholars who were not filthy with the "mud".
The Confucian scholar in gray who had just begged Chai Yonghui said to Zhao Xiangxiang: "Wan Sheng has been studying the Book of Songs recently, and I just feel that the Book of Songs is truly the originator of all kinds of poetry and poetry in later generations! The words in the Book of Songs are concise, but the artistic conception is very profound.
For example, there is an article "Guan Ju", Guan Guan Ju dove, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of hunting. There are many water plants flowing left and right. A graceful lady, I have longed for it. I can't get it, but I have been dreaming of it. You are leisurely leisurely.
, tossing and turning. The water-lily seeds are scattered, and they are picked from left and right. The fair lady plays the harp and the harp. The water-flowers are mixed, and they are played by the harp and bells and drums." After reciting, he shook his head and sighed with emotion, and exclaimed: "The first words and sentences of the Book of Songs are at the beginning of the book of songs.
When I smell it, I feel that it is somewhat crude and straightforward, but when I taste it carefully, I find it to be endlessly memorable and full of profound artistic conception. People are always looking for the best poetry. In fact, this "Book of Songs" is the best poetry, and it has returned to its original nature.
, all the beauty and splendor are condensed into the simplest words." This showman's surname is Sun, and his name is Sun Tongfang. He is a well-known talent in Henan.
Zhao Xiangxiang couldn't help but clapped her hands and praised: "Master Sun is indeed extraordinary. He can avoid being harmed by glitz and see the true meaning of poetry! Alas, there are thousands of talented people in the world, but few can really understand the truth.
There are so few! Gorgeous words cannot make a moving poem, but poems that are full of emotions can often touch people's hearts even if they are simple!"
All the talented people agreed, praising Zhao Xiangxiang as one of the few in the world and saying that she truly deserves to be the most talented woman in history. In fact, this is not an exaggeration. Zhao Xiangxiang indeed deserves the title of the most talented woman in history.
Zhao Xiangxiang felt embarrassed by this wave of flattery. She looked at Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui and saw that they were looking at her with smiles, and she became even more embarrassed.
All the talented people thought she was looking at the pretty boy affectionately, and they were immediately jealous. Sun Tongfang deliberately wanted the pretty boy to make a fool of himself, so he clasped his fists and said, "This Mr. Chai must have unique insights into poetry and songs. I don't know."
Can you please tell us so that we can all learn a lot!" All the talented people agreed. These people had just heard Zhao Xiangxiang introduce that they were not scholars, but they still wanted to use this to make things difficult for them. You can imagine the despicable intentions of these people.
.In fact, this is also a common problem among scholars. These guys are not good at fighting wits and usually like to compete with others in aspects that they are good at but others are not!
Chai Yonghui was influenced by Yang Peng and looked down upon these guys who could only recite poems and write about them. Seeing that they wanted to test themselves, he just despised them and ignored them at all.
Sun Tongfang was ignored by Chai Yonghui twice. He could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He got angry and reached out to grab Chai Yonghui's shoulder. He became so angry that he wanted to do it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, there was still a distance from Chai Yonghui's shoulder.
A few feet away, a big hand suddenly came across and grabbed his wrist! Sun Tongfang was furious, struggled to break away, and cursed: "Asshole!" However, he tried his best to break away, but he did not break away.
I just felt as if my wrist was bound by an iron hoop, and I couldn't break free at all.
Sun Tongfang was so angry that he raised his other hand and slapped Yang Peng in the face. Zhao Xiangxiang was horrified when she saw that he dared to attack King Yan, and shouted: "Don't do it!" She felt a flash in front of her eyes.
Hua, I saw that Sun Tongfang's other hand also fell into Yang Peng's grasp. Seeing that the beating failed, Sun Tongfang was controlled by the other party and couldn't break free. He cursed loudly: "Asshole, let me go quickly.
, otherwise you won’t be able to eat and will have to walk around in circles!!” The noise here attracted everyone’s attention, and the Confucian scholars gathered around one after another.
When Yang Peng heard Sun Tongfang threatening him, he chuckled and said: "You want me to walk around without food? Very good. Now let me walk around without food. I would like to see it." Sun Tongfang saw that the other party was not intimidated.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do. I couldn't get away. I wanted to make the other party suffer, but I didn't have the ability.
Yang Peng saw many Confucian scholars gathered around him and thought to himself: "Today is Miss Zhao's birthday. If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, you can't make the situation too embarrassing!" With this thought, he let go of Sun Tongfang. Sun Tongfang originally
Not knowing what to do, he suddenly saw the other person letting go of his hands. He couldn't help but be startled, and then his eyes showed pride. He thought that his intimidation had worked, and the other person let him go because he was afraid.
Sun Tongfang snorted at Yang Peng and said proudly: "For Miss Zhao's sake, I won't argue with you about this matter!" Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui couldn't help but smile at each other, both with strange expressions.
The Confucian scholars who gathered around to watch the excitement couldn't help but feel disappointed when they saw that there was no excitement after the reconciliation between the two parties. They dispersed one after another and continued talking about their previous topics.
Yang Peng and Sun Tongfang sat back in their seats. Sun Tongfang snorted at Yang Peng and lectured: "There are many people in this world that you cannot afford to offend. Don't act rashly in the future, otherwise you won't know how you will die after you go out!"
Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui couldn't help but smile. Yang Peng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your advice!" Sun Tongfang felt unhappy when she saw the other party's frivolous words, but felt uncomfortable continuing on this topic. She snorted and turned around to continue.
Talking to Zhao Xiangxiang about music, chess, calligraphy, painting and literary talent; Zhao Xiangxiang was a little absent-minded and frequently glanced at Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui. Sun Tongfang was jealous and worked harder to express himself. Yang Peng whispered to Chai Yonghui: "Then
A talented man is jealous of you!" Chai Yonghui's eyes showed contempt, and then he rolled his eyes at Yang Peng.
Suddenly there were clattering footsteps from the archway in the backyard, and everyone couldn't help but follow them. Through the dim lights, they saw a large group of people pouring in from the archway. The person leading the way was Zhao Xiangxiang's uncle Zhao Ming. Behind him
The crowd was surrounded by a peerless beauty dressed in a snow-white white dress. She had a graceful figure and a fairy-like temperament. She wore a gauze curtain and a bamboo hat on her head. She was mysterious and seductive.
The whole backyard suddenly became agitated, and all the talented people rushed forward to pay their respects. They completely lost their grace. For a moment, the backyard was extremely noisy: "Miss, Xiaosheng Zhao ** pays homage to the lady. I can see the lady. I whisper..." However, this person
Before the scholar could finish his words, he was pushed away by others. The person who pushed him away clasped his fists and said urgently: "Li**, a young student, is twenty this year and is not married yet..." At this time, other people were also fighting.
Introduce yourself: "Xiaosheng Liu**, I have admired Miss for a long time!..." "Xiaosheng Chen**, I have a poem that I want to give to Miss first!"...
Looking at the scene in front of her, Luo Yanran couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling very irritated. As the flower protector, Zhuang Shaocheng saw so many flies swarming in, and felt even more irritated, but he had to maintain his demeanor.
He raised his voice and said: "Everyone, don't be messy. How can we be so messy? We are scholars, not untouchables working as coolies in the market. Please respect your identity and don't make Miss Yanran annoying!"
These words were very effective. Everyone felt that they were afraid of being disgusted by the goddess in their hearts, so they stopped making noise, and the scene suddenly became quiet again. However, everyone liked Luo Yanran, but they were unwilling to stay away.
Crowded around Luo Yanran. Luo Yanran was among the crowd and stood out.
At this time, the pavilion in the distance was very deserted. Only Yang Peng, Chai Yonghui and Zhao Xiangxiang were left. Chai Yonghui looked at Luo Yanran in the distance, snorted coldly, and said: "It's so secretive that Wushan is not exposed.
Her true face! I don’t know if she is really a peerless beauty!” Zhao Xiangxiang said with a smile: “No matter how beautiful you are, she will be dwarfed by sister Yonghui! Peerless beauty, these four words refer to a woman like my sister!
Yang Peng nodded in agreement: "That's right, these four words are tailor-made for my little sister! It's hard for others to compare with my little sister's beauty!" Chai Yonghui felt happy and full of affection.
He glanced at Yang Peng.
At this time, a large group of people came towards them. Luo Yanran, who was dressed in white and covered with a gauze, was walking in front, followed closely by all the talented people. Zhao Xiangxiang quickly stood up to greet them, but Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui did not move. Although they
They were in private, but considering their status, Miss Luo Yanran was not worthy enough to welcome them, and I am afraid no one in the world could be worthy.
The two girls met outside the pavilion. Zhao Xiangxiang was very excited: "Sister Yanran, I heard that you are coming, I am so happy!" "It's been a long time since I saw my sister, and she is even more beautiful and charming!" Luo Yanran's tone was very
Excited, obviously she was also very excited at this time. Most of the talented people heard Luo Yanran's voice for the first time until this moment, and they only felt it was soft and tactful, as if she was crying. Although it did not mean to move people's hearts, it actually did.
It was so heart-stirring that probably only a small number of the talented people present fell in love with this voice.
Zhao Xiangxiang took Luo Yanran's slender hand and walked into the pavilion. Many people couldn't help but look at Luo Yanran's slender hand. They saw that the ten fingers were as slender as white as jade.
The tall and talented man followed the two women into the pavilion, but saw two unrelated people sitting in the pavilion. He couldn't help but show displeasure. Then he noticed that although one of them was a man, he was very beautiful, with red lips, white teeth, and fair skin.
, his eyes were filled with affection, and his temperament was elegant and clear, which made his heart tremble, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
Zhao Xiangxiang took Luo Yanran's hand and came to Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui, and introduced Luo Yanran: "These two are mine, my adopted brothers. One is named Yang and the other is Chai." Luo Yanran said with a smile: "
You two are polite!" Chai Yonghui nodded slightly in return, and Yang Peng smiled and said: "Miss Luo, you don't have to be polite!" When all the talents saw that Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui were so trusting, they couldn't help but get very angry. The great talent Shang Shiheng was the first to
He jumped out and scolded: "Miss Yanran, what kind of status do you have? I'm saying hello to you. Your ancestors have accumulated great virtues. How dare you make such a big deal? It's really unreasonable!" Most of the talented people rushed to join in, vying to be in front of Luo Yanran.
Show off in order to win the favor of the beautiful lady! However, another great talent, Zhuang Shaocheng, Luo Yanran’s escort who came along the way, sneered and remained silent.
Zhao Ming ran up, stood in front of Yang Peng and Chai Yonghui, pointed at Shang Shiheng's nose, glared and cursed: "You are so bold, how dare you do the following!"
Shang Shiheng was stunned for a moment when Zhao Ming pointed at his nose and scolded him, and then he became even more angry. He felt that you, a small business guy, usually nodded and bowed when he saw me, but today you dared to attack me in front of so many people.
Yelling, if I don’t give you some clues, you really don’t know who this young master is! As soon as he thought of this, he wanted to have an attack. At this moment, Luo Yanran said: "This young master must be Yan Yunjun
How can we compare with the generals if we are just white bodies? General, please forgive me for any rudeness!" After saying this, he received another blessing.
The talented people were originally in a raging mood, but after hearing Luo Yanran's words, they suddenly became silent. Those who had just started shouting and cursing showed obvious panic, especially those who had previously attacked Yang Peng and threatened Yang Peng.
Peng's Sun Tongfang was so horrified that his face turned pale.
Yang Peng couldn't help but feel contempt when he saw that these talented people were acting completely different from each other. If these people could still angrily accuse him after Luo Yanran said what he said, then he would still treat him as a person. What does that mean now?
They are just a group of villains who follow the trend, bully good and fear evil. People say that reading makes sense, but the more you read, the more you will understand the principle of being wise and protecting yourself.
It was Luo Yanran who broke the awkward silence at the scene. She only heard her say: "The general acted righteously before, so that the little girl was able to get out of trouble. I haven't thanked the general properly yet. The little girl here thanks the general for his help!" As she said this, Yingying paid her respects.
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Miss, there is no need to be polite, it's just a small effort!" He glanced at Zhao Xiangxiang and smiled: "I'm just here to celebrate Xiangxiang's birthday today. Miss Luo just treats me as an ordinary guest.
Yes!" Luo Yanran responded: "Yes."
Zhao Xiangxiang quickly greeted everyone: "Everyone, please take a seat!" Then he helped Luo Yanran sit down next to Yang Peng. Shang Shiheng and Zhuang Shaocheng sat under Luo Yanran and Chai Yonghui respectively, while hundreds of other talented people sat down.
Sitting outside the pavilion, enough tables, chairs, and tea had been prepared in the yard, and no one was left without a seat. After the talents sat down, they neither drank tea nor ate snacks, and all looked at the moving person in the pavilion.
figure, thinking about how to attract the beauty's attention.
Shang Shiheng turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Shaocheng, with an annoyed look on his face. He felt that Zhuang Shaocheng knew the man's identity, but deliberately didn't say it, clearly intending to stumble him. As soon as he thought about it, he wanted to take revenge later.
At this time, Xiao Ju, Zhao Xiangxiang's personal maid who had gone down before, came back, holding an exquisite small wine jar in her hand, she came straight to Yang Peng, presented the wine jar with both hands, and said: "This is specially prepared by my lady for my eldest brother!
"Yang Peng chuckled and glanced at Zhao Xiangxiang. Zhao Xiangxiang's pretty face turned red and she didn't look at Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the wine jar and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang is really my close friend!" Zhao Xiangxiang's pretty face turned even redder.
Yang Peng uncorked the bottle, smelled it, and exclaimed: "Good wine!" Then he raised his head and drank a few sips, and his heroic spirit was naturally revealed. Chai Yonghui and Zhao Xiangxiang saw it with great splendor, and Luo Yanran seemed to also
He was looking at Yang Peng, but his face was covered by a veil and his expression couldn't be seen.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
