Ouyang's expression was wonderful, looking at the rice paper in his hand, sometimes his face sank like water, sometimes his brows were wrinkled, sometimes his expression relaxed, and finally he returned the rice paper to Xiaocui with a smile.

Xiaocui was a little nervous, and asked hesitantly: "Master Ouyang, you...do you like my poems?"

"Okay! Of course it's a good poem!" Ouyang replied surprisingly simply, but the joy on Xiaocui's face hadn't lasted long enough before Mr. Ouyang asked with a half-smile, "Miss Xiaocui, this poem...is it really true?" From your hands?"

Xiaocui felt guilty, and when asked by the other party, her pretty face turned red immediately, and she replied falteringly: "Of course I wrote it."

It's okay if you don't answer, Xiaocui's deceptive expression made Ouyang more sure of his guess.A little bit of joy stood up and saluted Xiao Cui.

"Miss Xiaocui, don't hide it anymore. This poem was clearly written by Xia Ruxia, the No. masterpiece.

Why!Unfortunately, it was not the right time, so I failed to express my heartfelt heart in front of everyone in Xia.By the time I became famous, Mrs. Xia had indeed become Mrs. Li.This is a great regret in my life.Master Xia's style of writing is poignant and graceful, and the poems he wrote are worth every penny, and there is no one else in the world who can imitate them. In the hands of Miss Xiaocui, besides Master Xia, who else can produce such a masterpiece? "

Where did the little girl expect this to happen?It was seen through by others, and I was so impatient that I wanted to find a hole drilling machine.When I wanted to explain something, I heard Mr. Ouyang say:

"Miss Xiaocui please tell everyone Xia that I, Ouyang Heng, already understand the meaning of the poem."

Xiaocui was confused, thinking that it was about her and Mr. Ouyang's business, so what's the matter with the second wife?But the little girl's thinking is also very naive, anyway, at least she knows Mr. Ouyang's name.After thinking about it, he returned to Li Quan and Xia Ru happily.

Xia Ru's task today is to help Li Quan be a gunman, and now she didn't write a poem for the master, but wrote a love poem with a little maid, feeling weird.Seeing Xiao Cui running back with a strange expression, she muttered to herself, could it be that her work is still looked down upon by others?

After asking, I found out that my work was recognized by others!In fact, it's nothing, but after listening to Xiaocui convey Ouyang Heng's words, Xia Ru realized something bad happened!

Because Xiao Cui likes Mr. Ouyang, Xia Ru's poems for Xiao Cui naturally imply affection.But the other party took it as Xia Ru wrote it to him, and he must have thought that everyone Xia had feelings for him.

Xia Ru is aware of the misunderstanding, and besides, the master is by his side, and everything Xiaocui said falls into the master's ears.The master is not a fool, and he must be able to think of the problem.Although it was just a misunderstanding, for ancient women, it was also a matter of fame.

Xia Ru was worried about Li Quan's troubles, so she clutched her chest nervously, and hesitated to speak: "Master...Master, I..."

Li Quan's reaction was a bit slow, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He laughed: "Xiao Ru, I never thought that after you married me for so many years, your charm is still the same as before."

Li Quan's nonchalant performance reassured Xia Ru a little, but he remembered the embarrassing name - "Ouyang Heng".

……

……

From the first topic of the magistrate, the poetry meeting can be regarded as entering the topic.The scale of this poetry meeting was unprecedented, and the famous and important figures in Bizhou City were not in the main building of Yifeng, but in the more elegant backyard.

There are three small pavilions of different sizes standing on the circular pond with a bend of not less than [-] square meters.The three small buildings are divided into three different orientations, enclosing the pond in the middle.The ground is a flat bluestone road, cleaned spotlessly.There are only chrysanthemums in full bloom in the flower bed, all kinds of chrysanthemums are competing for beauty, full of love.

In autumn, there is no good scenery to appreciate. There are only empty lotus stalks and a few withered and yellow lotus leaves in the pool.But this dilapidated view is concealed by pools of rose petals and delicate krathongs.The backyard is just as beautiful because of these decorations.

And the people in the lobby want to enter the backyard, no matter how talented you are, you have to pay 1000 taels of silver.Of course, except for beautiful women.

But even if there is such a high threshold, the young masters around the gate of the backyard are still flocking to it.Not to mention being lucky enough to meet such a big man as the magistrate, just hearing that all the top names in Bizhou's famous brothels will perform, there are a lot of people willing to pay for it.But there are very few young masters who are truly courageous enough to spend 1000 taels at once.

Li Quan, as the protagonist of the poetry meeting, today's main event location is still in the backyard.When he saw that the atmosphere in the main building had become active, he took Xia Ru into the backyard.

In the previous life, she was a slut that no one cared about, but in this life, she is the focus of everyone's attention no matter where she goes.As soon as the front foot stepped into the backyard door, several enthusiastic scholars poured three glasses of wine.The magistrate with the mustache was the first to come up to talk to Li Quan, and he looked affectionate like a long-lost brother.

Of course, not everyone likes Li Quan, because he is so rich that it makes people jealous.Especially those wits who pride themselves on their fame.Studying for a lifetime is not as much money as someone earns in a day. It is strange that proud scholars can feel at ease.

Soon, a man in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake raised his wine glass and said loudly:

"Master Li, are you here? I have been waiting for a long time. Could it be that you patronized Merry and Happy, picked girls in the building, and forgot all our students? I don't know that Master Li has the answer to the first question of the magistrate." Yet?"

Li Quan glanced at the other party and asked Xia Ru: "Who is this person?"

"Master, that is Mr. Han Feng, Mr. Han. His ancestor is Han Wensui, who was the prime minister of the previous dynasty. The Han family has a high reputation even now. It is said that Mr. Han is a master of poetry. He thinks very highly of himself, so he doesn't bother to participate The imperial examinations do not have any fame nowadays, so they have always regarded themselves as students. But the reputation in the Qing Dynasty has caught up with the contemporary people."

"No wonder you dance like this." Li Quan stroked his beard.

Xia Ru leaned into Li Quan's ear and whispered, "Master, don't panic, he asked you about your previous poems, so you just say that..."

Before Xia Ru told Li Quan the impromptu poem, Li Quan interrupted:

"Oh, don't worry about him. I'm a cloth seller, so what's so strange about not knowing how to write poetry? Just ignore him."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Xiaoting's direction, nodded his feet, and made a wait-and-see gesture.Suddenly he shouted at the servants around him:

"Look at you! Look at you + the drinks and desserts on the young master's table are all finished, why don't you make up for them? Come on! Serve young master Han some good wine and meat!"

After speaking, he said apologetically to Han Feng: "I'm really sorry, it's not good for Mr. Li to discipline his subordinates. It caused Mr. Han to not eat well."

Han Feng was stunned, and didn't react for a while. He looked down at the mess on the table, and his face turned green immediately! !

Chapter 34: Old and new oirans

In the small pavilion located in the middle of the lake, there are two red lacquered wood carved square tables filled with freshly prepared delicacies.The young masters inside didn't move any more.

These young masters are all respectable figures with a radius of thousands of miles.Li Quan didn't like this kind of clown character who insisted on his identity, but in order to show the quality of this poetry meeting, he had to invite him specially.And all of these people were born in a scholarly family, they were lucky and wealthy, and they looked down on businessmen.He thinks that the Li family just spent huge sums of money to curry favor with scholars this time. While they despise Li Quan, they don't regard Li Quan as their master at all.This was the provocation before.

Several people considered themselves to be extraordinary, and were not very interested in the first question of the magistrate, so they chatted in the small pavilion.With nothing to do, he naturally put his mind on the delicious wine and snacks on the table. He didn't notice after finishing everything, but he didn't expect Li Quan to make a mockery of it.The dignified scholars are so gluttonous that they look like those who come to cheat for food and drink, and they all have bad expressions on their faces.

At this time, a voice came over: "Mr. Han, hello, brothers."

"Brother is..."

"I'm going to Ouyang Heng." Ouyang Heng paid 1000 taels of silver and came to the backyard with great interest. All the scenes just now fell into his eyes.Seeing the stiff expressions of the people in the pavilion, they smiled lightly and said:

"Why do you guys do this? The other party is the number one profiteer in Bizhou, and he is the best at playing tricks. Mr. Han reads all the books of sages. How can he fight against him? Don't worry, this table full of delicious food and wine was originally prepared for me. As long as I When you have a clear conscience, let the man surnamed Li say anything!"

Ouyang Heng was not a well-known figure at all, and the others in Han Feng could only be said to be second-rate figures in Bizhou's literary circles. According to their usual temperament, they didn't bother to talk to him at all.But at this time, they were worrying about not being able to find the steps. When Ouyang Heng said this, they immediately looked at each other and smiled, deeply convinced, and took the wine glass in their hands as a matter of course.

Ouyang Heng was overjoyed, as long as he got online with these few people, his reputation would definitely be even stronger in the future, and the 1000 taels was not in vain.

……

……

As soon as Li Quan arrived in the backyard, he picked up the wine glass and got to know everyone present one by one. Apart from the young masters at the Huxin Pavilion, there were also gentlemen from several major academies in Bizhou, and some respected seniors.The rest are well-known ladies from various households in Bizhou and well-known nobles from various technical institutes.

I don't know whether it's because of their own identities or because they are not familiar with each other. The three types of people, Young Master, Xiu, and the old man, happened to be divided into three pavilions on the lake.All the young ladies did not show up in the annex building.

Only a few who came in from the main building sat at the open-air stone~ table and talked and laughed.Holding his glass of wine, Li Quan wandered along the way, first went to the pavilion where Han Feng was, and had a few words of false flattery with some young masters. Seeing that these guys were sneering at him with bad intentions, he turned around and went to the girls' pavilion without staying.

This place is completely different from the previous pavilion. Just the fragrant breeze at the door made Li Quan grin comfortably.The small pavilion covered the scenery inside with silk, but the light laughter of the room made Li Quan a little distracted.

But there are all well-behaved ladies, who know how to be courteous with their status, and Li Quan can't show his wretched side. He chatted briefly and asked every girl's name. Unfortunately, they are all too beautiful. , As a result, one did not remember.In the end, there was only reluctant to leave.

Li Quan didn't go to the last pavilion right away, he was not in the mood to look at those old guys, but went to the auxiliary building first and walked around.

The beautiful girl in Yifeng Building seemed to be talking to the girls again. When she saw Li Quan coming in, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Master Li, the poetry meeting went well? Can you see the girl you like?"

Li Quan nodded his head: "I have suffered from Meigu these past few days, and the poetry society is running very well. There are too many good girls out there, and I am dazzled."

Meigu smiled coquettishly, and patted Li Quan's chest with a small fan winkingly: "Master Li, you are really good at talking. It's hard to choose girls outside. Let's just look at our daughters!" Meigu pointed to the five or six girls with extremely good looks and self-cultivation around her, and continued, "These are the treasures of my Yifeng Tower. If it were someone else, I would not be willing to show them! Master Li Is there something eye-catching?"
