Chapter Two Hundred and Eleven: Poetry and Painting(1/2)
"Huh, why is he here?"
When Gu Wendao saw Ye Junsheng, he stopped walking. When he came to the Guo family manor, it was completely arranged by the second young master of Ximen. After all, the Ximen family and the Guo family have always had a good relationship. In addition, the second young master of Ximen and the third young master of the Guo family married, so the relationship naturally became closer.
Today is the day of the New Year's Cultural Fair. Taking advantage of the leisure time in the morning, Mr. Ximen II suggested coming to Zhushan for a trip.
When I asked for it, I couldn't find it. I thought I would meet Ye Junsheng on the narrow road by the Jackdaw Lake.
At this time, the second young master Ximen also recognized Ye Jun's birth and frowned: I have a bad impression of this scholar who was driven out of the boat by his own family.
Gu Wendao's expression was even more gloomy.
Seeing this, the second young master Ximen couldn't help but whisper to a servant of Guo's family beside him: "Awang, go and ask how that person came in?"
Due to its openness, scholars with thick skin always come in to eat and drink, and even hope to make friends with powerful people through this, with a different purpose. Anyway, there are so many people participating, and there is no need to review it, so it is not difficult to be Mr. Nan Guo again. But due to the sympathy, the owner will not easily scold him, just turn a blind eye to the other.
Due to his poor first impression, Mr. Ximen Second Young Master had preconceived ideas and believed that Ye Junsheng was this type of person. Normally, he naturally would not interfere, but the current situation was different, so he decided to ask someone to check it out.
The second young master Ximen and his wife were about to get married. Awang knew the inside story and obeyed the orders of the prospective son-in-law. He immediately came over and asked Ye Junsheng.
After a moment, he trotted back and said respectfully to Mr. Ximen, "Report to the third aunt, the young man has asked. He was invited by the third lady."
Upon hearing this, the second young master of Ximen was shocked and surprised. He knew his fiancée's temperament. He was a talented man with a kind heart and a very proud heart in his bones. She has been a disciple of Master Mu, and she has studied calligraphy and copied copybooks since she was a child. She is a man of all kinds and has made a big name, called "Lin Water Body". Even in Jiangnan, she is considered famous.
In this way, how could she invite Ye Feng to attend the literary meeting? Could there be any hidden secrets in it?
When Gu asked next to him, he couldn't speak loudly. He thought that Ye Feng was an uninvited guest, but at most he was invited by the guests, but he didn't expect that it would be the host's personal invitation. This invitation was so unusual.
Thinking of the truth that Ye Feng’s three copybooks were bought by Miss Guo San, he vaguely guessed a rough idea, but for no reason he didn’t want to tell Mr. Ximen Er.
"The time is almost over, let's go back."
The second young master Ximen was a little depressed, but at this time, it was not appropriate to make things difficult for Ye Junsheng or ask his fiancée. It would be better to take the opportunity to leave and ask again afterwards.
"Brother, they left, and they thought they would come to drive us away again."
Ye Junmei pouted and said.
Ye Junsheng said suddenly: "This is the Guo family. It is not the Ximen family. Besides, after sending invitations, I was rushing the guests for no reason. Are you afraid of being laughed at?"
The girl curled her mouth: "Anyway, they are not good people, especially the one Gu Gongzi, who is the most disgusting." When she remembered the "gold teasing" on the boat and the entanglements that followed, she felt despised. She really wanted to learn from Jiang Jing'er, and she would just knock it down with one punch. However, people have different temperaments, and they can't do many things and can't let go of their hands and feet.
The sun is at its peak, and it is almost time to have a meal. The servants in charge of notifying walked around the manor and asked people to go back to the manor to have dinner.
It was very lively. Because of the difference between men and women, Ye Junsheng could not sit at the same table with his sister, so he had to separate temporarily.
"Well, it's a bit weird..."
When he stepped into the dining room, Ye Junsheng immediately noticed it and saw dozens of pairs of eyes glance at him and kept looking at him.
It must be that the identity was exposed.
I quickly became calculating, but I had the relevant mental preparations long ago. I was very calm and walked in with my head held high. Seeing that Liu Tianchen had left a space for him, I walked over and sat down.
"Junsheng, they all know."
Liu Tianchen whispered.
“It can be seen.”
When he heard his words, Liu Tianchen couldn't help but give a thumbs up and secretly admired: This kind of demeanor of being unstoppable and disgraceful is not simple to appear in a young person, and he has to have some experience to cultivate it. It can be seen that Ye Junsheng must be a person with a story.
Recalling the many rumors about bookworms in the past, Liu Tianchen seemed to understand.
At this time, not all the guests were guests. Some VIPs with good identities were specially invited to go to a higher-level place in the village, not to mention it.
The meal was a bit weird. After the meal, they were invited to the lobby next door to serve tea. During this period, important figures from the Guo family attended and spoke. After a process, it took more than an hour.
Just listen to these things casually. Ye Junsheng agreed to come, and the biggest purpose was to see the Jiangnan style and broaden his social horizons. He didn't have much thoughts about the literary meeting itself.
After the process is completed, it is free to move around the manor in groups, creating poetry. If you have any work, you can write it down with the four treasures of the study and hand it over to the servants of the Guo family. It will be passed on to the judges group formed by the literary club for appreciation. If you feel satisfied, you will order someone to copy it and pass it on to the literary club meeting of another family. On the surface, it is a communication, but in fact it is a competition.
After all, only competition can bring motivation and fun.
The reason why Jiangnan literary world can be unique is closely related to the diverse forms and effective organization of literary associations. I believe that after the competition for talented people, they will reach a peak state.
In fact, during the day, most of the New Year's literary gatherings are relatively dull, and only at night do they really reach climax. The masterpieces are produced one after another, and the atmosphere is very warm.
Originally, Ye Junsheng thought that Miss Guo San would come to him, but after drinking the tea, he still didn't see any movement. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It was not because the other party was negligent, but because he felt that it was not reasonable. Since he invited someone to come, it was reasonable to meet him in person. Later, he accidentally heard someone talk and learned that the other party left early in the morning. He has not returned yet, so he was relieved.
Ye Junsheng was not interested in the internal affairs of the Guo family, so he should take his sister to continue traveling around the country and the rivers. This is not in vain.
"Junsheng, I heard that they all want to ask you for a discussion."
Liu Tianchen came quickly.
"Talking about it?"
"Yes, I'm here to come to you to recite poems and lyrics, or to form groups. There are quite a few people. I'm afraid you'll be caught off guard, so I came to tell you."
Liu Tianchen's expression was not as concerned, but he was very excited and full of expectations.
Ye Junsheng was so angry that he heard him say that it was like a duel between masters in the world. The next moment, there would be swords and swords, and flesh and blood...
"Haha, it won't be."
Liu Tianchen was rumored: "Why not? You are the number one talented man in the north, and your lyrics are spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. Although you praise a lot, there are more people who don't agree with them. They are all holding back their energy. I have heard that many talented men in the south of the Yangtze River know that you will go south to participate in the talent competition. I have been ready to give you a warning, and even said: The talented men in the north are self-proclaimed, not worthy of their reputation, they are mules or horses, and they have to take them out for a walk before they can see the true seal."
Speaking of this, he was indignant. He was also from Jizhou, so he naturally couldn't hear it.
Ye Junsheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "Tianchen, according to your wishes, should I discuss with them?"
"Of course, how could we be afraid of them!"
Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "This is not a question of whether it is afraid or not. The question is whether it is necessary. Others always have their own position on their ideas and opinions. A gentleman is open and honest, so why should he care about the disputes in detail?"
Liu Tianchen is not a stupid person, he can be easily revealed at a glance, alerting him: "Junsheng means that now is just a literary club, not a formal competition for talented people, so there is no need to expose his strength too early?"
"almost."
Ye Junsheng was too lazy to explain more.
Liu Tianchen slapped his thigh: "Yes, it's called a competition, but it's actually bad. Besides, even if they lose, it's nothing, but if you make a mistake in your performance, it's different. It will be widely publicized and your spirits will be scattered in vain."
This guy has made up a lot of tricks.
In fact, this is true. The key is Ye Junsheng’s original intention, he just doesn’t agree with it.
After a pause, Liu Tianchen said again: "Since that's the case, how should they come to the door later?"
Ye Junsheng waved his hand: "It's just a general who comes to stop him, there's no need to be nervous."
Liu Tianchen sighed, "You are still calm, I am really impressed by you." After that, I really had to bow down and express my respect.
When he was in Jizhou, Liu Tianchen actually admired Ye Junsheng very much. He wanted to ask for a piece of brush and ink several times, but he was just for face and couldn't speak.
"Tianchen is welcome."
Ye Junsheng was unwilling to be proud: "Well, then now, I'd better go around first."
"Then I'll go over and inquire."
This guy seemed to position himself as an undercover character who broke into the enemy. It's not that he is so concerned, it's related to the dispute between literary talent in the north and the south. As one of them, he is still passionate and will not be willing to give up the disadvantage and let others humiliate and make jokes.
"Brother, why are these people so boring..."
Ye Junmei said suddenly that since this girl realized that her brother had supernatural powers, her understanding level was naturally different, and she understood that her brother was not determined here.
Hearing this, Ye Junsheng looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and put on a vicissitudes of vicissitudes: "There are rivers and lakes where there are people, and there are disputes where there are people. I am used to it."
Ye Junmei looked at it, laughing, and the flowers were waving.
When she smiled, Ye Junsheng couldn't help laughing: I can't pretend, but it really failed. It seems that I have to read "Actor's Self-cultivation" three times before I can...
No matter what, laughing is always a good thing. Smile more and you will have fewer worries.
So the brother and sister continued to wander and watch.
Zhushan is not high and can occupy a large area. It looks like a large bread, with smooth and graceful lines, without the steep water horns of the mountain.
Among them, the Guo family spent a lot of money to repair the flat stone road, which was like an ecological park.
"Wow, brother, come here, it's so beautiful!"
Ye Junmei, who was cleverly walking, clapped her hands and shouted, shouting.
Ye Junsheng rushed over and looked, but found a valley near the top of the mountain, surrounded by fences, and opened up separately into a garden with more than ten plum blossoms planted.
It is the season when plum blossoms bloom. The flowers are full of flowers, very beautiful, and a faint fragrance floats out. Sniff it and feels refreshed.
It turns out that this bamboo mountain is not just about planting bamboo.
Ye Junmei looked at the plum blossom and liked it very much, and suddenly said, "Brother, have you ever brought the four treasures of the study? I want to draw."
When he came to attend the literary meeting, Ye Junsheng did not come with a book on his back. But the girl knew that his brother had his own magical powers and other spaces, and could collect items, which was probably the legendary magic weapon, so he asked.
In fact, some paper and ink will be placed temporarily in the pavilions on both sides of the mountain forest roads to provide everyone with improvised ink and poems, which is extremely convenient. However, although there are pavilions around the plum forest, the four treasures of the study were not placed, which probably was missing.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Junsheng moved his mind and took out a pair of four good study treasures out of thin air and placed them on the stone table in the pavilion. He rolled up his sleeves and helped his sister grind ink himself.
Ye Junmei has helped him grind the ink for many times, but this reward is very worthy.
Ye Junmei was not polite, sat upright, tied up her sleeves, revealing a white wrist that was as frost as jade, and her ten fingers were as slender as orchids. The calluses caused by hard work in the past were all shed and became flawless.
Ye Junsheng understood that it should be the effect of the Qianyuan Yin and Yang Pill.
