As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Of course, Miss Wen didn't go to the poetry fair just to humiliate Hua ManLou.

From her words, it can be heard that this young lady hates empty talks that harm the country. She admires the great powers like Guan Zhong and Shang Yang who can strengthen the country. She had unabashedly admired Huamanlou during the Tuenling incident, and she also admired Huamanlou even more during the war against Wala.

Wen Liang feels that if Datong loses, the capital will be in danger; if it is defeated by Wala, then Zhao will be in danger. Therefore, Huamanlou's series of operations can be described as a merit that can be recorded in the annals of history—even if he is an exceptionally promoted military officer Well, but what about the military officer, not much better than the group of scholars who only know how to talk?

Therefore, the purpose of Miss Wen's going to the Poetry Club was only out of morality, and she didn't want Hua Manlou to fall into this position.

But Wen Yuchen was immediately horrified: My younger sister heard that Hua Manlou was going to attend, and she wanted to attend immediately. This matter...is not right, could it be that my younger sister really fell in love with that martial artist?

In this winter, Wen Yuchen suddenly felt a layer of white sweat on his head—his father, Mr. Wen Ge, always favored his younger daughter, so whenever Wen Liang did something out of the ordinary, he was always beaten by Mr. Wen: The so-called elder brother is like a father , who told you that you can't even take care of your younger sister?

So Wen Yuchen immediately felt that letting his sister go to the poetry meeting was purely for death, and tentatively said back: "Little sister, what, after all, Huamanlou is an official of the imperial court, so everyone is really just asking for advice, not Too much for his face..."

This is true. Although some narrow-minded scholars want to overwhelm Huamanlou, many people still have brains. They just want to 'expose' Huamanlou's poet status, but they will not go too far ——The emperor has covered it up for others, if he gets up and slaps his face hard now, isn't this a joke about his own future?

But Miss Wen became more and more angry: "The so-called academics are excellent, and they are in politics. A group of cystic worms who can't read well, why should they point fingers at those who have made great achievements in the country?"

Wen Yuchen suddenly felt very heartbroken, and even he scolded him for these words, because he can't read well, and he has some opinions on Huamanlou...

But Wen Yuchen didn't continue the debate, because he knew that what his younger sister believed was that nine bulls would not be able to pull it back, so he could only comfort himself: This girl is purely admiring, it must be admiring, it is definitely not a fancy That martial artist, um... how could my little girl have such high eyesight that she fell in love with that rotten gambler Hua Manlou?

……

Da Zhao Chongwen despises martial arts, and the more he develops, the more he has the taste of "only reading is good", so to a certain extent, it is not a problem at all that Huamanlou intends to mix in the literati circle in order to be a happy salted fish of.

Let's just look at these literati, they point out the country's passionate writing, they indulge in a tour of the mountains and rivers, even if they linger in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, they can also do this very elegantly, talking about poetry, tasting silk and bamboo, playing Tea circle or something, self-proclaimed poet and scholar, life does not know how comfortable.

There are some differences between scholars and civil servants. After all, civil servants have entered the big dye tank. They have many things to worry about, but what are scholars afraid to do?They dared to abuse power, dare to make trouble, and even dared to sit-in and demonstrate at the Meridian Gate, which can be described as rampant.

After reading a lot of the words of the sages, it can be said that the stunned young scholar is not pleasing to anyone.They stand at the commanding heights of morality, with the Four Books and Five Classics on their heads, and follow the example of the Qingliu Ke Taoist who criticizes realism. They are invincible when they see whoever they see—it is just that the cavalry of the Wala people are a bit hypocritical...

Even if they cause trouble, the government usually calms things down. After all, civil servants are now in power, and the root of civil officials is scholars. If the reputation of Shilin is bad, how can officials be stable?What's more, behind the scholars is the country gentry group - after Fan Jinzhong was promoted, didn't someone come to visit and make friends immediately?

In short, scholars live a particularly nourishing life, and rich scholars are even more nourishing. The poetry club was created by these people. Is its purpose...

Come on, the most important thing for scholars is their reputation, and their reputation is more important than their lives. Isn't such a grand poetry meeting the time to become famous?

Come on now, most of the young ladies from the official families of the capital will be present, if they are favored by some young lady, wouldn't they be famous and popular?And there will be someone to take care of her in her future career, so how could everyone miss such a favourable, cost-effective thing?

Three, let's talk about poetry and songs, how can we miss the big names in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion of the capital?

It has to be said that the brothel pays more attention to the training and education of the top players than the young ladies of many official families, and the treatment is almost the same. Otherwise, if they don't have a common language and vision, how can they win the favor of arty dignitaries?Therefore, the cultural level and poetic attainments of some top girls in the brothel are not inferior to those of some self-proclaimed talents, and even a little bit higher.

Therefore, the goal of some scholars is on this group of girls, after all...

The top card, how could the top cards lose money in their hands?Don't you see how rich Du Shiniang is, who sank the treasure chest angrily?If you appreciate it, you will get both money and sex!

In short, this group of people is just to get close to rich women.

According to the situation in previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting is the most grand, but the winter solstice poetry meeting is not so good-after all, it is cold, so the scale of the winter solstice poetry meeting can only be smaller, and if it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is not very cold, It is even possible to set up a large garden to hold a poetry meeting, and the gifted scholars and beauties present are even dazzling, and anyone who is caught out will be a famous person.

It's just that there is a Huamanlou now, which makes many people unable to sit still, and a few leaders made a total decision, so they immediately decided to make a big deal.

Jia Yixiu, a student of the Imperial College who was born in Jinzhong’s wealthy family, provided the money. Gu Xinghuai, who was born in the Gu family, a big crocodile in the tea industry in the south of the Yangtze River, provided his own teahouse and bought two adjacent ones to serve as venues. As a result, the liveliness of this Winter Solstice Poetry Fair instantly overwhelmed the Mid-Autumn Poetry Fair a few months ago, and the entire capital became lively for a while.

In addition, there are gossip rumors circulating, for example: Ms. Shan Meimei, the top brand of Zuifenglou, said that if there are excellent lyrics, she will sing on the spot; The talented poet who writes poetry talks at night by candlelight...

Just the day before the poetry meeting started, another piece of news was made public: Wen Ge's old mansion had a rich daughter, and Miss Wen's family would participate in this poetry meeting!

Some good people have long said that Miss Wen's family is not only the most talented woman in the capital, but also the most beautiful woman in the capital. However, because Wen Liang has never liked such activities as poetry fairs, many people have never seen this wonderful woman who is famous in the capital. Girl, but now...

The circle of scholars boiled instantly.

(Obviously I have two or more shifts, one shift in the morning and one shift in the evening yesterday, isn’t this another shift in the morning?)

110. The Clown Has Arrived on the Stage

For the poetry meeting, Huamanlou's expectations are no less than those of scholars.

It's a circle of mixed scholars, and you can also see many little sisters who don't leave the house of officials and eunuchs, and young ladies who are fat, swallows and thin in Qinlou Chuguanhuan, tsk tsk, drooling just thinking about it, okay?

Huamanlou, who is trying to live a life of salted fish, is an ordinary person, and he has also reached the age of lust and Mu Shaoai—at least physically, it is normal to look forward to a little peach blossom or something, and you can't point to him bitterly guarding the Qin Dynasty. live?

So in the early morning of the winter solstice, Huamanlou got up, groomed carefully, and then changed into official clothes, and asked Qin'er very shamelessly, "Is the young master handsome?"

I have been in touch with Huamanlou for a while, and I am not surprised by the strange words that Huamanlou pops up from time to time, so I rolled my eyes and said: "Master looks good in flying fish clothes, but wearing this clothes On the contrary, neither fish nor fowl, neither civil nor military..."

These words broke Hua Manlou's defenses in an instant, he stretched out his hand to pinch Qin'er's small face and said fiercely: "Can you just say something nice to coax me to die?"

Qin'er said with a smile: "The master said, you can't tell lies without conscience. In my opinion, the young master is more than heroic, but not handsome enough, and this dress detracts from the young master's mighty aura but does not mention the young master's handsomeness. So it’s rather ugly…”

I have to say that Qin'er's aesthetics seem to be similar to those of Qi Wanrong's group of chicks in the southeast and northwest. They all agree that Huamanlou wears flying fish suits and sleeve arrows. gun……

This is the tragedy of the Wu Xun family.

Hua Manlou was so angry that she directly grabbed the little girl and moved her body to turn around, slapping her buttocks with no seriousness, "I'll make you stop talking nicely, and make you mock me!"

I have to say that although nothing happened between the two of them sharing the same bed, Qin'er's attitude towards Hua Manlou became more intimate, and she dared to laugh at him more boldly, and for some reason, she could have done it again. Bed quilt, but both the master and the servant don't seem to care about it, so until now, the two of them are still warming each other as if they depended on each other...

Therefore, today's small physical contact is not new, but Qin'er still blushed, stomped her feet and complained: "Master!"

Hua Manlou said with a smile on his face that he didn't do anything, "Change clothes, change clothes, don't wear these things anymore!"

……

The poetry meeting started in the afternoon, because it takes time for everyone to judge or recite, so the poetry meeting will continue until late at night, and the organizer will provide drinks during the period... Cough, dinner is provided to satisfy the hunger.

Huamanlou, who was looking forward to it, set off early with Qin'er. Along the way, he was thinking about the poem he was going to show today—it's the winter solstice now, and yesterday it snowed very well, and about winter, snow There are quite a lot of poems like ah, Huamanlou, so he has a bit of difficulty in choosing.

"Hmmm... When the flying flowers come out of the house, sit and watch the green bamboos turn into qiongzhi... This is not bad... There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone? It's okay, but I don't know if there are plum blossoms on the scene? The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice Feng, it's snowing thousands of miles... Fuck, this won't work, the second half is more terrible..."

Hua Manlou didn't take Qi Wanrong's reminder to heart at all, after all...

Scholars, what bad thoughts can a scholar who is well versed in the books of sages have?No one will stop at the door and say, 'Sir, you are not welcome here if you are disheveled', right?

But actually...

"Brother Jia, why don't you put up some couplets at the gate, those who don't match are not allowed to enter?"

In the lobby of Yuzhuxuan, which is the venue of the poetry meeting, several organizers are happily discussing how to make the floor full of flowers.

The person who spoke was Gu Xinghuai, the young owner of the tea house. This person has red lips, white teeth, thin body, and quite handsome appearance. If he stands facing the wind with his hands behind his back, he may attract many ignorant girls—just like the definition of a beautiful woman these days is a weak willow and Fufeng. , the definition of a handsome man also tends to be weak, so his skin can be said to have taken advantage of it.

The Xiong Jia that Gu Xinghuai talked about was Jia Yixiu who was born in Jinzhong's wealthy family, but this person's looks tended to be rich, and he looked more like a businessman than a scholar.

He only heard him laughing and said: "If you make a fuss about this matter, then Huamanlou may really have no way to get in. How should the subsequent play be sung?"

Standing next to Jia Yixiu was Mu Wenbin, a gifted scholar from Jinling. He heard the words and said, "Why not... put a couplet at the door to stop him, then invite him in, or send someone to give him a cheat sheet, so... "

"Let's go to the city first, Brother Mu is easy to plan!"

"To the extreme, to the extreme, if he can't even match the simple couplets, I'm afraid he will feel ashamed when he enters the arena. How can he have the face to sit and talk with me?"

"What if he turns around and walks away?"

"It's okay, Brother Jia, as the master, shows up when he is in a difficult situation, and talks nice things to keep him, presumably..."

"Wonderful!"

A few people started digging pits one after the other, trying to keep Hua Manlou in an embarrassing situation where she wouldn't get angry and leave—it's just embarrassing, but if she gets angry and walks away, then ...

Although Huamanlou seemed narrow-minded, but without him as a foil, where would everyone have fun?Without the foil of green leaves, how can you get into the eyes of a group of officials and ladies?

That's right, Jia and Gu are not short of money, so they have no interest in famous prostitutes. They only hope to get in touch with powerful people, so that their family can get rid of their status as businessmen.

And the people around are coveting the top names in the brothel.

Just like those people on the basketball court in middle school, when they see a young lady standing on the sidelines, they will try their best to crush their opponents to pretend to be B. Although the situation is different, the reason is the same...

In particular, you can't get close to the young lady at the basketball court just because you play well, but if you write good poems, it is very possible to get in close contact with these top names in brothels with all kinds of flair and beauty—— After all, there are few rich people, and most scholars cannot get in touch with these girls.

And if it gets out, this is not only a good talk, but also increases the prestige, so why not do it?

While discussing, several people made various arrangements, and by noon, things had almost been arranged.

Just when Jia Yixiu was planning to arrange lunch, a servant came to report: "Young master, that flower has entered the city!"

Jia Yixiu clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "It's done! I'm afraid he won't show his face or is too timid to come. Is this person ignorant or fearless? Do you really think he can beat this talented man from the capital?"

Jia Yixiu was indeed worried. After all, there were too many people talking, and the news that everyone hoped to teach Hua Manlou a lesson had already spread, so he was afraid that Hua Manlou would avoid the battle if he found out about it.

If you have to talk about this matter, it doesn't matter if Hua Manlou doesn't come, because although he is a military officer, he is also an official of the court. If he just said that he is busy with official duties, what can they do with scholars?

But now that Huamanlou is here, the stone in Jia Yixiu's heart finally fell to the ground: "Gentlemen, the clown has already appeared on the stage, and it's up to you next!"

(Hey, is it updated again? Who said I update every day?)

111. Was it cracked just like that?

Gu Xinghuai's financial resources are evident by buying two adjacent teahouses for the poetry meeting and urgently connecting them to the main building, with some simple decorations attached.

The main venue of the poetry club is Yuzhuxuan. On the left and right sides, one is used to entertain the top cards in the brothel, and the other is used to entertain the eldest ladies of officials and eunuchs—the two groups of people really cannot be put together, which shows Gu Xinghuai's intentions.

In addition, the first floor of Yuzhuxuan is a hall, which will be used as the main venue, and the second floor is some Accords, Accords are for entertaining some dignitaries present, after all, it is obviously not appropriate for these people to sit downstairs.

In addition to good tea, the venue will also provide candied dried fruits and various snacks, as well as stored fruits—don’t underestimate this, this year’s fruit in winter is enough for a family of seven or eight to eat for two days…

In this way, the expense becomes even more astonishing, it can be called a huge sum of money—real gold, not the gold that Emperor Guangxing bestowed on Huamanlou...

Just after the time passed, people from Yuzhuxuan had already arrived, and they stood outside the door and began to comment: "Gorgeous! Gu and Jia are really rich and generous!"

"Who said it wasn't? But today even the eldest lady from Wenge's hometown will come. If there is no such skill, I'm afraid they won't come!"

"Hey, there are couplets at this door? Why is there only Shangque?"

Beside the door of Yuzhuxuan was a stack of red paper that looked like couplets, and it was obvious that words were mentioned on it, and the top one was written with big characters of "Teaching children with poetry and books". One look, you know it's a pair.

Hearing the sound, the two young fellows came out of the door and the scholars rushing to the scene cupped their hands, and one of them explained with a smile: "Masters, my young master said that the poetry meeting is to make friends through literature, so if you don't have ink in your chest, this poem will not be good." It doesn't matter if you go in."

Another person said: "Exactly, my son also said that the space of Yuzhuxuan is limited, if someone who can't read big characters gets in, I'm afraid it will be rude to the beauties upstairs on both sides, so I simply set up a place at the door." Put down the couplets, and you can enter the door if you match them."

I have to say that pairing emphasizes neatness and harmony, while scholars nowadays specialize in stereotyped writing, and stereotyped writing is all about parallelism and antithesis. Isn't the restriction much stricter than pairing?

So after thinking about it for a while, everyone knew who made the rules for this matter, so some people immediately echoed: "It's extreme, it's extreme. The poetry meeting will always make friends through literature. If you can't even match the right words, what kind of literary atmosphere is there?" ?”

"The guest is up to the host. Since the host's house has rules, we should obey them. Brothers, who will come first?"

"Let me come!" A young man in white robe stood up, looked at the couplet with a smile and said, "But teaching children with poems and books? My answer: only pass on righteousness and filial piety to children and grandchildren!"

"Good!" A group of onlookers started cheering.

One stood up with a smile and said, "That's good, Brother Weikang, it's a good idea to use 'Don't use strange skills to deceive the world' here, what do you think?"

Everyone laughed.

What I said, although it is clearly a confrontation against the former, is actually full of connotations, so both the speaker and the listener feel a sense of superiority in IQ spontaneously.

The two young servants were also laughing, let everyone laugh, they stepped aside and respectfully said: "Although the couplets are right, both young masters are right, please!"

At this moment, someone in the back row suddenly said: "This is also okay? Then I say 'Why do you regret a hundred deaths to serve your family and country', can you?"

There was a sudden chill on the scene.

He Xi a hundred deaths to serve the family and the country, hearing these words, there is a taste of gold and iron horses, which is obviously the style of a general, so everyone can't help but curse in their hearts: the inner heart is full of flowers, why did they suddenly kill so much? A stupefied young man?

But from the point of view of the battle, you can't say that he is wrong, and the words are majestic, even bigger than the previous pattern of "passing righteousness and filial piety to the children and grandchildren", and it immediately blocked everyone's throat. .

A group of scholars hurriedly turned their heads to look at him, but saw a smiling young man in a flying fish suit standing in the back row. Seeing everyone turning their heads, he cupped his hands and said, "I've seen you brothers, you've made a fool of yourself, you've made a fool of yourself..."

A group of people stared blankly at the young man, looking at his flying fish suit, and some people even consciously or unconsciously murmured: "Flowers... flowers all over the building?"

Hua Manlou admitted very easy-going and generous: "It's just me, I don't know your brother's name?"

No one answered, and the quiet needle drop could be heard on the scene, and this group of scholars who were laughing wantonly just now was extremely frustrated—theoretically speaking, Huamanlou should have arrived a little later, at least when the scene became more lively Only then did he appear, so that he was worthy of his identity.

What is Huamanlou's identity?

You don't need to mention the military officer of the fifth rank, the son of the earl, and the large amount of traffic on the capital's headlines recently. Judging from today's events, he can be regarded as a main character no matter what, at least his importance exceeds The young lady of the official family and the top card of the brothel, right?

Guochao pays great attention to these things. There are unspoken rules about who should arrive early to warm up, who should be late to enjoy the welcome in the lane, and who should come out last for the finale. Should be the last to appear.

But this big BOSS suddenly appeared at the beginning... What's the matter, want to have a plot to kill?

Although there are no games this year, the truth is the same...

What made this group of scholars vomit blood even more is that Hua Manlou should know that everyone wanted to shame him today, so even if he appeared suddenly, it should be Ku Daqiu's deep and cold eyes, but his face was kind and pleasant. What's the matter with surrendering his identity and claiming to be below?

Is this guy too scheming, or is he just a fool?
