On the boat, Wang Dao and Liu Jianyuan were sitting with several great scholars, and among them there was a man who was a little younger than Wang Dao and others.

This man's name is Yagyu Shiro, and his status can be said to be a very big one. He is the husband of the sister of the current emperor, and one of the few relatives who can hold power in the new Song Dynasty. Today, he was specially invited by Zhou Dafu to appreciate the Jianghuai Poetry Fair.

The singing and dancing dispersed, and then a servant shouted: "The scholar at Jiangning's son-in-law's house has composed a Wing Chun poem. Please give it to a great scholar for evaluation."

When Yagyu Shengbai heard that the scholar raised by his family had written a masterpiece, a smile appeared on his face, and everyone on the side also congratulated him. After all, he was a powerful person, and the face project must be more comprehensive.

Under the appreciation of many great scholars, this scholar's poems could be regarded as excellent works, so many writers began to copy his poems and posted them in the boat hall for everyone to appreciate, while others were brought ashore by outsiders.

Wang Dao, who was sitting above, was a little angry. When he first arrived at the poetry meeting, he told all the great scholars that Chen Xiuping was a great talent and would definitely shine in this poetry meeting. And some great scholars knew Chen Xiuping's identity.

He was the son-in-law of the Su family in Jianghuai. He didn't take it seriously and just said what Wang Dao said.

It has been such a long time, and Chen Xiuping has not yet appeared at the poetry meeting. Wang Dao's face was a bit lost. Some scholars who were somewhat estranged from Wang Dao also teased the Chen Xiuping Wang Dao was talking about because he was afraid of being in this poetry meeting.

It's embarrassing, so I won't come.

In the painting boat, Sun Ning'er is the eldest daughter of the Su family. According to the strength of the Su family in Jianghuai, she can naturally enter the main painting boat. However, she cannot enter the upper compartment. She can only sit in the hall prepared for the female relatives.

place.

Naturally, Suning'er didn't care about this. The purpose of her coming to this poetry meeting was to discuss some business. However, it was said that a big shot came to this poetry meeting. Many people were rushing to enter the upper attic. Unprepared, Suning'er could only fall behind.

Just be an idle spectator in this hall.

It was late at night, and the scholars who were older or in poor health were no longer energetic. They all wrote their own poems and left the boat. If they won the ranking, they would be seen on the list the next day. Naturally, most of the scholars

Not in good health.

The younger scholars started their own carnival. There were quite a few beauties at this poetry party, and some women from big families would also show up at this poetry party. If they could win the heart of a woman from a big family,

For some scholars from poor families, it can be said to be a blessing, so the time to pick up girls has come.

And those rich and powerful scholars have even more fun. Fame and beauty are basically linked together. If their poems are chosen, beauty will come to them. This can be compared with those in brothels.

It would be a good thing for the top stars to spend the night together.

At this moment, Sun Ning'er, who was staying in the hall, was being pestered by these so-called literati, among whom Xue Hua had the loudest voice.

At this moment, Ping'er was also led by a maid who led the way to Suning'er's side.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to discuss business today, so just sit with the ladies and maids of the Zhou family."

"Yes, eldest master."
