Asking for red tickets, asking for favorites, asking for clicks, asking for the fierce general brother!——
Immediately, several more scholars recited loudly. Xue Poye took Xiao Moting as his coordinate and looked at his expression. It was obvious that none of the poems written by these people could meet his discernment.
Xiao Moting stroked his beard and looked at Liu Tuo, smiling and saying: "Hefeng, do you have any masterpieces?"
Liu Tuo hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "Seniors, you are reciting poems and praising me, but students are juniors and don't dare to show their embarrassment!"
All the scholars showed admiration and said: "Master Liu, you are so polite. Master Liu is Mr. Chen Yin's favorite disciple and a high disciple. His literary and artistic accomplishments are of course extraordinary, and it is time for him to show off his talents!"
Xiao Moting also looked at Liu Tuo expectantly and said warmly: "Hefeng, since all the seniors have said so, if you have a good work in mind, you might as well recite it and let the seniors give you some advice!"
Liu Tuo pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Since you seniors value Liu Tuo, I would like to ask you to give me some pointers because he is not talented!" His eyes seemed to pass over Xue Poye and he slowly said: "Jin Zhang
The peach banks are blooming, and orchids are connected to Liujin. The songs of birds are like urging people to drink, and the smiles of flowers are trying to attract people. The bells and chimes are setting off thousands of mountains, and the spring is ten miles away from the towers. Looking back in the fragrant mist, Luo Qi's six new bridges are new."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the scholars clapped their hands and stroked their beards and said: "Excellent, wonderful, indeed a good poem!"
Xiao Moting showed a satisfied look, stroked his beard and said: "Brocade tents, birds, smiling flowers, bells, towers, fragrant mist, six bridges... The objects should match the scene. Not only is there something to look at, but also something to be found in the heart. It's very good.
,Very good!"
Next to him, Xiao Suzhen lowered her head and muttered to herself, thinking she was savoring this poem.
Xue Poye glanced at his mouth and was very disdainful. He took a glass of wine and drank. Grandma, today's banquet is just a decoration. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he left. If he left now, it would make Xiao Suzhen a little bit agitated.
It’s not easy to do.
Seeing everyone pretending to be noble, Xue Poye really couldn't adapt.
This arty style is really not as good as drinking and singing with Ulachi, what a life!
Suddenly I heard Liu Tuo's soft and authentic voice: "Junior sister, you have outstanding talent and your poetry is famous in Hangzhou. Do you have any clever lines?"
Xiao Suzhen raised her head, looked at Liu Tuo, she was generous, shook her head and said: "My little sister is stupid and hasn't thought of a good sentence yet."
Xiao Moting looked at Xiao Suzhen lovingly and said softly: "Suzhen, if you get a good line, you can recite it!"
Xiao Suzhen said shyly: "Father, Suzhen really doesn't have any good words!" She looked up at Xue Poye and said softly: "Father, why don't you ask Xue Shixiong if he has any good words!"
Xiao Moting turned his attention to Xue Poye, his expression was not good-looking, and he said calmly: "I heard that you can compose lyrics and recite poems?"
Xue Poye was holding back his anger: "Damn it, did I fuck your daughter or fuck your balls? I don't even give you a good look for such a big opinion!" He was really confused in his heart. Xiao Moting hit him.
He didn't have a good impression of himself from the beginning. After he confirmed that he was Tan Ziqing's student, he didn't even bother to take a look. What was the reason?
"I don't have that ability, so I'd better ask you to do it!" Xue Poye said lazily. Since we didn't gain good looks, there is no need for us to go out with good looks.
Everyone was very unhappy when they saw Xue Poye acting carelessly and not taking them seriously, and they were quite dissatisfied with Xue Poye.
Xiao Moting's face darkened, and he was extremely cold. Xiao Suzhen was also quite embarrassed. She looked at Xiao Moting uneasily and then at Xue Poye.
"Oh!" Liu Tuo said calmly from the side: "I heard from my junior sister that this talented scholar Xue has an amazing talent, and he can occasionally write immortal lines. My junior sister has always admired him so much, why do you belittle yourself today?"
All the scholars immediately started talking, with doubts on their faces. How could Xue Poye have the ability to compose a masterpiece that will last forever at such a young age? Only old people like us, who are well-read in poetry and have a lot of talent, can compose it.
of!
Xue Poye smiled faintly and did not answer.
When everyone saw how presumptuous he was, they started talking a lot.
Xiao Suzhen was shocked and anxious, and lost her voice: "Brother Xue Shi, you...!"
Xue Poye glanced at her and felt quite dissatisfied. It turns out that you are only close to me because of the few poems in my stomach, but you kissed me behind my back with this pretty face. I don't want to play with you.
Xiao Moting sneered and said: "Su Zhen and I said before that your Excellency is amazingly talented and has many beautiful words. I also said that you are amazingly talented and knowledgeable. Now it seems that it is an exaggeration!"
All the scholars even claimed that, and they all looked down upon Xue Poye with disdain.
Xue Poye said leisurely: "I am so vulgar, how can I talk to you over wine? You are all elegant and knowledgeable people. Xiaoke is here today, no doubt he is just a pearl falling from the dust!"
Liu Tuo smiled faintly and suddenly said: "I heard that you are a businessman?"
Xue Poye glanced at him sideways and said, "Not bad, just a small businessman!"
The status of a businessman is low, and everyone despises him even more when he thinks he is a businessman.
A trace of pride flashed across Liu Tuo's eyes. Seeing that everyone was targeting Xue Poye, Xiao Suzhen looked a little uneasy and said hurriedly: "Although Brother Xue Shi is a businessman, he is brave and heroic. In order to redress his grievances, Suzhen once jointly submitted a letter to the court. Brother Xue Shi helped Su
Zhen is very busy, if it weren’t for him, my father would have suffered injustice!”
When Xue Poye heard what Xiao Suzhen said, his depressed mood eased a little. He thought that this little girl had a conscience and came out to speak for him at the critical moment.
When Xiao Suzhen said these words, Xiao Moting not only showed no gratitude, but showed an extremely resentful expression, staring at Xue Poye, the muscles on his face twitched, and his jade-like face turned ashen.
Xue Poye looked sideways and became even more confused. Could it be that he was not good-looking and this old man looked down on him so much? Or maybe he had a vicious eye and had seen that he was planning to seduce his daughter, so he became hostile?
Xiao Moting said coldly: "There is no such thing as a person who is neither a businessman nor a treacherous person who just wants to make a profit. Only a passionate man can fight with swords and sing songs over wine!"
As soon as he said this, not only Xue Poye's face became gloomy, but the faces of all the Confucian scholars also changed.
This was a direct rebuke.
Xiao Suzhen's beauty turned pale, and she looked at Xue Poye with embarrassment and worry.
A cold smile appeared on Liu Tuo's lips.
Xue Poye wanted to leave the table with his sleeves, but he thought in his heart: "If I leave after being insulted like this, these self-proclaimed bastards will look down on me and make me angry and leave. I'm afraid that's what they want to see.
I just won’t let them get their wish.”
Under the gaze of everyone with various expressions, the gloomy look on his face slowly faded, and then a faint smile appeared, and he said leisurely: "Businessmen are all just trying to make a profit? Mr. Chenyin is full of talents, and he can be said to be very knowledgeable about the world.
You see so clearly, why is there such a fallacy?"
Immediately, several people shouted in unison: "How dare you talk to Mr. Chen Yin like this!"
Instead, Mr. Chenyin calmly took a glass of wine from the table and said slowly: "What's the explanation for the fallacy?"
Xue Poye cleared his throat and said loudly: "It is said that businessmen pursue profits and make a living, but I don't know where the food you wear and eat comes from? Without businessmen, goods from the north, south, west and east cannot be circulated, and the country cannot be established.
Without perfect material channels, people's livelihood is uneasy and the society is unstable. This is a real thing. Businessmen are the organizers of materials. Let's talk about our catering industry. Without businessmen like us, you would not have the opportunity to taste the world's famous names.
Food, your mouth is dripping with oil after eating it?"
Someone immediately said: "That's nonsense. Shameless businessmen keep saying it is for the circulation of goods, but in fact they are just chasing the profits behind it. Even if there is no circulation of goods from north to south, west to east, it will still not affect the poor life of ordinary people."
Xue Poye said calmly: "Nature will not be affected. If you can really be content with the status quo, live honestly, not pursue the material prosperity of the world, and hold on to one-third of an acre, then you will really not starve to death." The words were cold.
: "But if that's the case, I'm afraid mankind will never develop. Merchants are not just the circulation of goods, they are the circulation of civilization. The inland is the blending of north and south cultures, and the transactions between border countries are the blending of international cultures.
I remember that during the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian traveled westward, and then I, a businessman, walked the Silk Road in my life. Do you still think that this Silk Road is on the wrong track?"
His words were mixed with a lot of vocabulary from later generations, but everyone was extremely shocked when they heard it.
One person sneered and said: "Don't seek desires and don't pursue profits. This is the way of the world. Businessmen are exactly the opposite of this and destroy my true principles of the world. How can I praise you?"
Xue Poye laughed loudly and seemed very wanton, but everyone was in the middle of a businessman's dispute at the moment, so they didn't take it seriously.
"Don't seek desires, don't pursue profits? This gentleman said it very well." A look of disdain appeared on Xue Poye's face: "Elegant people are indifferent to fame and fortune. I actually believed it before, but looking at you
, I am a little confused. Since I have no desires, why do you have the mood to squeeze me, an ordinary businessman? Since I have no desires, I am naturally indifferent to the things in the world, but why do you want to belittle business? No desires, why do you guys?
Instead of staying at home to drink and drink tea, you come here to sing elegantly. The pursuit of literature is a kind of lust in itself, just like the pursuit of money by businessmen. How many people in this world can escape from the sea of lust and squeeze into the emptiness?
The whirling world of fantasy!"
He spoke very fluently, but his voice seemed calm and thin. Everyone was dumbfounded and shocked for a moment. Damn it, a lowly businessman actually said such a big truth?dd
