In the elegant hall in the backyard of "Hefeng Tower", there are three people sitting, Li Chong with a white robe and a black face, Yan Biyun with a fluttering purple shirt, and Su Jin in a green shirt. There are even maids serving in the huge elegant hall.
nothing.
There was a faint scar on the wound on Su Jin's head. It seemed to be fine, but his spirit seemed a little depressed. Yan Biyun was also absent-minded, and Li Zhong, who was originally taciturn, made the atmosphere in the hall even worse.
Extremely dull.
Judging from the seating arrangement, the person sitting at the main seat today is Li Chong. From this detail, Su Jin can guess that Li Zhong's hosting today seems to regard this banquet as an apology for himself, rather than a farewell to Yan Biyun.
Yan Biyun and Li Zhong only met through Song Shaoqing, and it seemed that there was no need to reveal their whereabouts to Li Zhong.
From this point, Su Jin felt a little bit of vanity. He had only known Yan Biyun for more than 20 days. Yan Biyun also said goodbye to him when he was leaving. This shows that this Yan Dongjia still treats him as a friend. Maybe
More than just friends.
The three of them sat in silence for half a day. After all, it was Yan Biyun who felt that Li Zhong was doing this badly, so she broke the silence and reminded: "Master Li, didn't you say you have something to say to Master Su? How long will it take if you don't say it now?"
Li Chong hurriedly swallowed the mouthful of food he was chewing carefully, stood up and said to Su Jin: "Master Su, Li Chong has offended a lot of people with his words that day, so I came here to apologize today. I have never been good at speaking, and my mother has also
You reprimanded me for speaking out loud, but I hope Mr. Su will be honest."
Although Su Jin had only met Li Chong twice, he had already initially figured out Li Chong's character. He was a master who was both eloquent and sensitive to his heart. He had a lot of poems and books in his stomach, but he was clumsy with his mouth.
It was so serious that he would offend someone in less than three sentences; and Li Chong himself was ignorant, and he was not the kind of person who relied on his talent and arrogance to deliberately seek trouble.
For a person with this kind of personality, Su Jin can only classify him as a nerd, so why would he care about him? In fact, there are also cute things in Li Chong's personality, one of which is that he can correct his mistakes after he knows them.
There is no pretense about identity; like this time, Su Jin's real identity is actually just a businessman. From a secular perspective, although businessmen hold a lot of money, they are still the ones that scholar-bureaucrats and scholars are unwilling to associate with.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, although the status of merchants had been improved, there was no discrimination against merchants. Even the Song Dynasty's criminal system stipulated that intermarriage regardless of family background was stipulated. Moreover, the more stable the society, the more wealthy people were respected by others.
Respect, so businessmen are no longer synonymous with 'smart businessmen', 'profit-seeking', 'profit-minded', and 'cannot afford to be early without profit'; but even so, from the perspective of thousands of years of tradition, the characteristics of businessmen are exactly what literati call them
Something you try to stay away from.
Li Chong's identity is a bit scary. He was a candidate for the rural examination in the second year of Baoyuan. He was originally awarded the position of county magistrate, but unfortunately his father died of illness, so Ding You was at home; his father Li Ruian once served as the magistrate of Shouzhou, and his grandfather also
He once reached the level of a fourth-grade state official, and he can be said to be a scholarly eunuch from the third generation. Such a person can be so polite to Su Jin, which fully shows that Li Chong is actually just dull, but not pedantic. He is a casual person.
When Su Jin's lyrics moved him, he resolutely chose to apologize to Su Jin instead of ignoring it.
Of course Su Jin understood this. Although he didn't know Li Chong's identity and background, Song Quan, who looked like he came from a high-ranking official and a wealthy family, could make friends with Li Chong. He came all the way from the capital to see him, which shows that Li Chong was able to make friends with him.
Zhong Ding was also from that circle.
Su Jin smiled and cupped his hands in return, saying, "Brother Li, why do you care so much? He even specially prepared a banquet to make Su Jin feel flattered."
Li Zhongdao: "It should be like this. Mr. Su has been in Luzhou City for more than ten years, and I didn't find out that there is a talented man hiding in the city. I am really ashamed."
Su Jin smiled and gave in, then heard Li Zhong say again: "Master Su, I have an unkind request. I wonder if I can be rude?"
Su Jin originally said: Since it is an unkind invitation, I will forgive it. But at this moment, I really couldn't say anything, so I said: "I am all ears!"
Li Zhong cheered up and said: "I and several friends have founded a poetry club called 'Luohua'. I believe Mr. Su has heard about it. This poetry club meets on the 18th of a single month. I wonder if Mr. Su is interested?"
Su Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be able to find it without any effort. He was wondering why people in this literary and art circle were silent, but he didn't expect that Li Zhong was one of the initiators. Now it was
Caught.
Although he desperately wanted to agree, Su Jin's bad habit started to show up again, and he frowned and raised his forehead, seeming to be embarrassed.
"Why, Mr. Su, do you have any worries? In fact, this is just a gathering of Luzhou scholars and some friends who like to write lyrics. It only takes one day and does not waste much time."
Little did Li Chong realize that Su Jin was just trying to tell the truth, and kept describing how elegant the poem would be, how fun it would be, and how he would be able to see many new words.
In fact, Su Jin was not very interested in these things. His purpose of showing off was to promote his own status. He was sure that people like Li Chong would try their best to persuade him, the new king of poetry, to participate, so that he could make seven mistakes in the poetry meeting.
If it's eight, Li Chong won't be able to stop him.
"It's nothing to worry about. I can spare a lot of time in a day, but I'm just afraid of making a fuss at the poetry meeting."
"Where does this come from?"
"In my spare time recently, I came up with a few new poems praising beauties. I might as well ask you talented and beautiful ladies to give me some pointers. However, these poems are all based on my Su Ji's pictures of ladies in ready-made clothes. At the poetry meeting
If I take it out, it will be suspected of being publicized for Su Jiguang, and I'm afraid it will cause everyone to talk about it."
Su Jin frowned, showing a sincere sincerity.
Li Chong was stunned when he heard this. On the one hand, Su Jin said that a new poem had come out, which made him look forward to it. On the other hand, he did not want Su Jin to seek commercial interests in his "Luohua" Poetry Society. Li Chong was not a fool.
Knowing that once he nodded, he was condoning Su Jin's actions, so he hesitated.
"There is no way to lose one's soul. The west wind blows behind the curtain, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." Su Jin rapped his fingers on the edge of the table and chanted in a sweet voice.
Li Chong and Yan Biyun, who was sitting next to him, looked at Su Jin in disbelief. The words Su Jin deliberately chanted had already touched Li Chong's heart. He felt itchy and said eagerly: "What else? There is more.
Woolen cloth?"
Su Jin smiled and said nothing, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a red river shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and Mance tasted it methodically.
Yan Biyun was both amused and annoyed at the same time. This guy betrayed himself at the critical moment. It was really disgusting.
Li Zhong understood what Su Jin meant. He no longer hesitated and said, "Mr. Su, I would like to formally invite you to attend the "Luohua" Club meeting on May 18th. I also invite you to come."
"Don't you dare disobey me!" Su Jin stopped being pretentious, and both parties reached a tacit consensus.
In fact, Li Chong also had difficulties that he couldn't tell. Although he was a scholar, he was not without a competitive spirit. The "Luohua" Club was as famous as the "Qiuyun" Club in Bianliang and the "Shuangyan" Club in Yingyingtianfu.
Excellent works of poetry are also emerging one after another, but there has never been a poem in the club that can overwhelm the other two poetry clubs. On the contrary, the Bianliang "Qiuyun" Club has had many good poems in the first half of the year, and it has the potential to overwhelm.
It is true that Bianliang City is an important place in the capital. Millions of people gathered in Bianliang Capital City, which must have hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many talents. The "Autumn Cloud" Society was established more than a year ago, and the founder was Song Quan and Song Shaoqing. The competition between friends is often more intense than that between strangers.
It’s even more intense. Although Li Chong and Song Quan are close friends, they both hold back their efforts to surpass each other in this aspect. For Li Chong, Su Jin’s appearance is obviously a gift from God, and this poetry society will surely flourish.
What a great honor it must be to make an outstanding performance and completely surpass the other two clubs.
That's why Li Chongcai was willing to give up part of his own persistence and acquiesced to Su Jin's commercial promotion in the poetry club, in order to get the result that he valued more. As soon as Su Jin's new line came out, he no longer hesitated, and soon
Obviously this will be an exquisite piece of poetry, and with just this sentence, the conclusion has been sealed.
Su Jin was so happy that his plan was done, and he couldn't help but reveal his fierce drinking style. He caught Li Chong and drank more than ten drinks. In the end, Li Chong had to stagger back and retreat. When he left, he still sighed in his heart:
As expected of a talented person, it is no lie that he has written hundreds of poems about drinking. It seems that if he wants to make further progress, he needs to practice his drinking ability.dd
