Dao fellow initiates

At this moment, not only a few princes and princesses, even Qin Xiaochuan and others also found it quite interesting, and fell into deep thought.

Time passed by like this, and almost half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the entire Mingyue Pavilion was unprecedentedly quiet, which had never happened since its establishment.

This is a romantic place, never has it been so quiet.

At this moment, someone finally recognized the reality, moved the whole body with a single hair, followed by a sigh, and then joined together, like a bunch of mourning wives.

Zhou Xun's frowning brows relaxed a bit, and he smiled wryly, "Brother Liu, you really have a big problem!"

Yang Mu laughed and said, "I've thought about this question for a long time, and it's almost impossible to say it's perfect."

Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows: "So, Brother Liu still has the answer in his heart?"

"Let us wait and see!"

Yang Mu deliberately kept a little sense of mystery. The answer will be revealed sometime, but not now.

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, poured a glass of wine, and drank it down.

At this moment, Zhou Min slowly said: "Brother Liu, I have a couplet, although it is not perfect, but it can barely match, I know you must have a better answer, so let's take it as an introduction! "

Yang Mu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing is too famous, why don't you come and listen."

Zhou Min murmured: "The first couplet: Smoke locks the willows in the pond; I will go to the second couplet: Swallows hold mud and build nests!"

After hearing this, all the talented people clapped their hands in amazement, thinking that the couplet is very good, four o'clock under the swallow can be interpreted as fire, and the five elements are complete, which is wonderful!

Yang Mu nodded slightly. Although this couplet is good, it also has a shortcoming.

"What do you think, Brother Liu?" Zhou Min asked curiously. Now he is not the sixth prince, nor His Royal Highness King Jing, but an intellectual who loves learning and is eager for answers.

"Does Your Highness want to hear the truth or lies?"

When Yang Mu's voice came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Min hurriedly replied: "It must be the truth!"

Yang Mu's voice came out again: "Well, Your Highness, this couplet is neatly aligned, and the artistic conception is not bad. There is only one shortcoming, that is, the word "chao" is not Kibe, which is a pity."

Zhou Min also had regrets in his heart. Hearing what Yang Mu said now, he felt even worse.

"Master Liu must have the answer in his heart, why not say it out and let me open my eyes."

This is Yun Shu's voice.

Yang Mu's heart skipped a beat, this tone...why does it mean a deep palace grudge?
However, seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, he didn't want to whet people's appetite any more, so he immediately smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say, even I don't have absolute confidence in this couplet. Refer to it!"

snort!
Hearing this, Yun Shu couldn't help but snorted inwardly.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, it was rare for him to be humble once.

I only heard Yang Mu continue to say: "I think this couplet is: Jinghan Huoshudi."

In his previous life, he had seen a lot of couplets, but there wasn't a really perfect one. It seems that he liked this one the most, and he just used it to deal with it today.

Mirror Han Huoshudi!
Everyone gasped first, and then carefully considered these few words. No matter in rhyme or artistic conception, they are much better than those of His Royal Highness King Jing, which is why they were surprised in the first place. reason.

Although there were expectations for Yang Mu's second line, everyone thought King Jing's second line was very good, but Yang Mu's second line was even better.

Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, a gleam flashed in his eyes. This second couplet is very beautiful. If it is compared with the scenery, it is even more beautiful than the first couplet. She likes it very much.

He was about to reward him, but just as he was about to stretch out his hand, he retracted it again. Thinking of this, it should be regarded as compensation for the other party's undoing his second line!
Zhou Qing and the others nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with this line.

"Brother Liu is a great talent, I am convinced!"

Zhou Min laughed loudly, as if the knot in his heart had been untied, he drank three glasses of Yuling wine in a row, a blush appeared on his face, with a hint of drunkenness.

The geniuses below are even more amazed, saying that Wen Wu is the first and martial arts is the second, but today, they all want to respect Yang Mu as the first.

After seeing that the time had been delayed by more than an hour, Zhou Qing showed up and said something on the scene, announcing the end of the essay meeting.

The talented scholars only felt that they were not satisfied, and thought that this kind of high-quality literati gathering should come more times. Although the limelight has been robbed by Yang Mu, they are very convinced in their hearts. This life is in vain.

I saw a group of talents on the first floor disperse, but they did not leave Mingyue Tower. After Zhou Xun said it, he realized that the real gathering of geniuses was after the literary meeting, and the venue was on the third floor, so there was no need to clear the venue.

Following Zhou Xun came to the third floor, in a larger private room, which is exquisitely decorated, and there is also a rockery and water scene in the room. Golden carp are playing in the water, and the jumping water splashes fall down, clear and melodious, filling the whole private room. life.

The faint floral fragrance is pervasive, refreshing!

Yang Mu, Zhou Xun and Zhou Ce came to this box, it was empty, Zhou Qing and others hadn't arrived yet.

However, the sound of footsteps was coming from far to near, Zhou Xun pulled Yang Mu back to the side, only to see Zhou Min walking in quickly, when he saw Yang Mu, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Haha, Brother Liu is really here!"

Seeing that he ignored Zhou Xun directly, Yang Mu greeted himself first, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, facing his enthusiasm, took a step back, bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, grass people are only ordinary people, so you can't be your Highness. "

Zhou Min said indifferently: "Here today, you and I have no difference in status, we will make friends through literature!"

Yang Mu smiled wryly and said nothing.

It just so happened that Zhou Qing and Zhou Mi came in together, and the two of them looked at Yang Mu, and they both consciously ignored Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun was not angry, and stepped aside consciously, anyway, he was used to it.

After exchanging a few words with Yang Mu, they all secretly revealed the intention of soliciting, but he didn't answer, nor refused, anyway, fishing, who can't.

Zhou Qing and the others were jealous of each other, so they didn't force too much, they just clicked.

As for why they value Yang Mu so much, it's not because of how good his poems are, but because besides his outstanding literary talents, he also has a strong cultivation base. This kind of all-rounder is a person who can really do great things. They How can I let it go.

But because Yang Mu deliberately didn't disclose his realm, they could only roughly perceive that he was above the fourth or fifth stage of the Xuanhai realm. Considering his current age, such a realm is really not easy.

Followed by the sound of several footsteps, the steps were heavy, and it was Lin Hanzhou and the others.

The three of them walked in almost together, and greeted several princes one after another. Even the fourth prince Zhou Xun was not rude. Several princes could ignore them, but they could not as courtiers.

Yang Mu's eyes fell on Lin Hanzhou. Speaking of which, he is still Yue'er's uncle, and he is also his own uncle. I have to say, this uncle is really young!

Lin Hanzhou is only in his twenties this year, and to warriors, he is like a child, not much different from Yang Mu and the others.

Not to mention that he has a heroic aura, handsome face, sword eyebrows and star eyes, three-dimensional facial features like a carefully carved sculpture, this appearance, a proper girl killer, I don't know if he is married... Yang Mu was curious think.

If it is said that Liu Qingge has the best skin among the people he has met, then Lin Hanzhou has that kind of anime face that satisfies all the fantasies of contemporary women. Fortunately, he is Yue'er's uncle. Be careful yourself.

Lin Hanzhou vaguely noticed Yang Mu's gaze, and looked at him curiously.

"Young Master Liu, what do you think is wrong with me?"

Being publicly executed, Yang Mu couldn't help digging his toes in embarrassment, and quickly explained: "There is nothing wrong with it, but when I saw Your Excellency, a poem came to my mind involuntarily."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and the sound of light footsteps outside the door sounded, and Yun Shu's voice was a little curious, and came from a distance: "Mr. Liu has another masterpiece?"

Seeing that it was Yun Shu, Yang Mu hurriedly saluted. After all, he was the one who had the lowest status among the people present, so in order not to show any lies, he had to be cowardly when he was cowardly.

Besides, brother Jin Yuan has such a personality, gentle and elegant, cautious and courteous.

"Greetings to Your Highness the Eldest Princess! I dare not say it is a masterpiece, it's just a broken sentence!"

Yun Shu's figure appeared outside the door curtain, he let out a soft sigh, and said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me!"

The rest of the people were also curious, of course, including Lin Hanzhou himself.

Yang Mu's face remained the same, but he smiled wryly in his heart. That poem is very good to describe Liu Qing, but it doesn't make much sense when applied to Lin Hanzhou. I'm afraid it's not perfect!
"I'm ashamed, seeing this lord just now, I couldn't help but think of my dead friend, so I stared blankly, I'm sorry!"

It turned out to be thinking about old friends, and everyone suddenly realized.

"I don't know what relationship this old friend has with poetry?"

Yun Shu seemed to intend to oppose Yang Mu, holding on tightly.

Yang Mu pretended to be a little sad, and sighed: "My old friend was born with a good skin, he was as gentle as jade, elegant and handsome. When he was alive, I often said words to tease him, Moshang is like jade, the son is unparalleled in the world." , That’s how I describe it, but I died young, I saw that this lord looks a little like my old friend before, so I lost my composure, I hope you can forgive me!”

Lin Hanzhou frowned slightly, but he didn't expect such a reason. Knowing that the other party didn't mean it, he shook his head, expressing that he didn't blame him.

However, Yang Mu's words attracted people present to look at Lin Hanzhou frequently, seeing that he had a handsome face, but he also had a heroic aura. The two temperaments seemed to be contradictory, but they were perfectly integrated in him. together.

At first glance, it is really the same thing, he is indeed a handsome young man.

Zhou Qing couldn't help laughing and said, "Is Han Zhou still unmarried?"

Lin Hanzhou didn't know why he asked such a question, but he still said honestly: "There is no good match!"

Regarding this matter, the adoptive father had worried a lot the year before last, but he didn't want to start a family for the time being, so he refused.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing smiled even more happily.

"That would be great. None of my younger sisters have ever married. I will have a chance to bring you to meet some other day. If you agree with me, I will ask Father to give you two marriages!"

"Han Zhou was born with a good-looking talent, and he was the right commander of the Duwei Mansion at a young age. If such a talent doesn't pay close attention, even this prince can't stand it anymore!" Zhou Qing laughed heartily, and his tone was sincere, without any hint of falsehood.

If you can get married with Lin Hanzhou, it will be equivalent to climbing into Lin Xiang's faction in disguise. With Lin Xiang as the backing, Lin Jilian will probably be stable. It should not be underestimated either, others don't know, but their princes are well aware that this so-called ranking of the Four Great Talents was announced by Zhou Qizong, the dean of the Imperial City Academy. In the end, it was difficult for them, the juniors, to visit.

But what I can know is that whenever the father encounters something that cannot be decided, he will go to the academy to ask this old ancestor for advice. From this, it can be seen that the other party must have something brilliant.

The sudden announcement of the Four Great Talents this time is presumably after careful consideration. Lin Hanzhou is usually very low-key, but he was accidentally included on the list. If there is nothing special about it, Zhou Qing would not believe it.

Therefore, even if it is only Lin Hanzhou alone, it is worth his investment. Anyway, he has a lot of sisters and so on. He is so used to raising them on weekdays, isn't it just for this day?

When Zhou Mi and the others saw this, how could they not know the second brother's purpose, they were all contemptuous in their hearts, but they couldn't help but regret that they didn't do it first.

Fortunately, what Lin Hanzhou said next made them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Second Highness, for your kindness. I have no plans to start a family yet."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, we can get to know each other first, it doesn't matter."

Yang Mu called him a good guy in his heart, this conspiracy was written on both his faces, and he just said: don't rush to refuse, there is always one that suits you!
Hearing this, Lin Hanzhou felt a little embarrassed, and remained silent for a while without speaking.

Zhou Qing had some thoughts in his heart. Among other things, his younger sisters should have good looks, good-looking bodies, and different temperaments. Maybe Lin Hanzhou is right for him. Naturally, it’s good. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have one, with his appearance, I'm afraid that if my younger sisters see him, they won't be able to chase him in time.

Among them, he is just doing the work of matching the strings, and there will be no loss if he succeeds or fails, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a white wolf with empty hands.

Seeing that this was about to turn into a blind date meeting, Yun Shu interrupted: "It's getting late, let's all take your seats!"

Zhou Qing and the others were a little surprised. They didn't know how Yun Shu had followed up. After all, the matters they discussed later had nothing to do with her.

But if she wanted to come, he and others couldn't stop her, so they sat down one after another.

A mahogany round table is enough to accommodate 20 people, and the total number of people present is just ten, which looks very spacious.

Following Zhou Qing's order, the beautiful and delicious maids walked in with trays of delicacies, and after a while, the table was filled with all kinds of fragrant dishes.

Although it is not as complete as Youwei's, but for Yang Mu who has been hungry for a long time, the aroma is very delicious!
Seeing that the princes obviously had something to say, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry for a while. After drinking and eating three points full, Zhou Qing glanced at Yunshu, and said slowly:

"It was not my prince's idea to invite a few people here today, but after discussing with my third brother and King Jing, we held this gathering together. However, today's Mingyue Building is not a real meeting place."

"You must have received the news. After half a month, the royal father will hold a hunting conference in Muyun Mountain of the Imperial City Academy. In addition to our princes, there will be other talents from the three dynasties participating. Competition, but it is related to the face of my Zhou Wu Dynasty, it does not matter if my family loses, but I am determined not to lose to outsiders."

"Thus, my prince, my third brother and King Jing set up this game, just to ask the three of you to help us."

The hunting conference clearly ordered the second prince Zhou Qing, the third prince Zhou Shu and the sixth prince Zhou Min to participate. The three represented Zhou Wu's face. Emperor Xuantian authorized them to recruit talents by themselves. Since there was no mandatory requirement, they found Qin Xiaochuan. three people.

With the strength of these three people, it is enough to help them.

Yang Mu ate a good melon on the sidelines. He didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. He seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

However, it is not extremely unusual. After all, the three dynasties came to visit, and the battle was huge. It was difficult for the Southern Confucian Academy to know, but it was known half a month in advance today.

As for the hunting conference, he didn't know anything about it.

Obviously, Qin Xiaochuan and others already knew about this matter, and there was not much change on their faces. Only then did Lin Hanzhou understand why his adoptive father asked him to come.

Qin Xiaochuan was born in a soldier, and his speech is the most straightforward.

"What do your Highnesses want us to do?"

Zhou Qing said: "It's so simple. It just so happens that the three of us are going to fight in this hunting conference, so we invite each of you to choose a prince. Of course, we won't embarrass you, so we will decide by drawing lots."

The three of Lin Hanzhou nodded slightly.

In this way, it couldn't be better, even if it won't offend any prince, it seems very fair.

The three of them have special identities, even if the princes compete for the throne at that time, it will not affect them, so they don't need to take extra steps to stand up, just do their jobs well.

Seeing that the three agreed, Zhou Qing immediately made the three pieces of paper that he had prepared into balls, and after messing them up, he asked Zhou Mi and Zhou Min to choose first.

Zhou Xun and Zhou Ce were completely reduced to a foil. The two knew about this, but they were not good at martial arts.

He once begged Emperor Xuantian, but he knew that this matter was related to the face of the dynasty, so the emperor naturally rejected him.

On the other hand, Yun Shu's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As Zhou Qing and the others spread out the notes in their hands, although they all had smiles on their faces, the three of them had different thoughts in their hearts.

Looking at the name in his hand, Zhou Qing almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

And Zhou Mi smiled wryly in his heart.

Zhou Min smiled wryly at the name in his hand. When a literati meets a martial artist, he really doesn't know luck or misfortune. This is destined to be an unforgettable journey.
