Chapter 132 Taiping Poetry Club, Poetry Writing and Poetry Competition
Walk towards the peach blossom.
Along the way, many people looked at him with awe in their eyes.
After all, he is the Minister of Household Affairs. In the final analysis, he is still an official. Even if he is serving the people, he still has official authority.
It's just that Xu Qingxiao doesn't put on airs. Whenever she looks at herself, Xu Qingxiao will respond with a smile.
This small gesture made many people smile and bow to him.
Even at the back there were people who dared to say hello and shouted "Hello, Mr. Xu".
Xu Qingxiao will also respond.
In almost two quarters of an hour, Xu Qingxiao walked under the peach blossom picture.
The connector signal given to him by Baiyimen is here. As for who his connector is, Xu Qingxiao has no idea.
But Xu Qingxiao didn't have anything to worry about, after all, the other party would take the initiative to arrange it.
The only thing that made Xu Qingxiao embarrassed was that this peach blossom place was the famous 'Peach Blossom Temple' in the Wei Dynasty.
With the word peach blossom, everyone understands it.
But it's not a martial arts building, but a literary building.
And it's more formal than Nanyu Mansion. To be honest, you can still get money from the shepherds of Nanyu Mansion. Or if you have a strong background and power, and you really want to force them to submit, why not?
Although the reputation is a bit unpleasant, it is very satisfying.
But Taohua Temple is different. It is known as the first building of the Wei Dynasty, and it is comparable to Guangling Pavilion. The Qinghuan in these two places are all beautiful in the Wei Dynasty. They have been selected from a variety of places since they were young, and they have been selected for food and drink.
Used.
I have been reading since I was a child, and it is not the kind of memorization, but a real talent for reading. Only in this way can I gather my talents, and even some top-notch Qinghuan people have become famous.
This is simply a fatal temptation for the princes and nobles. After all, they no longer like the laid-back women, and they like this kind of arrogance.
As for the martial arts building, none of the martial arts buildings in Great Wei Jing are of high quality. After all, this is Kyoto, and since the empress ascended the throne, she has been vigorously cracking down on such things, so the literary building is more popular.
The rich and powerful just like to be different. The harder it is to get it, the more difficult it is to get it, the more they like it.
Of course, in order to prevent poor scholars from entering and defrauding girls, admission to Taohua Temple and Guangling Pavilion requires VIP cards. It is not troublesome. Just deposit some silver coins and cannot take them out within three years.
All consumption will be deducted from it. This boss is really a good business man.
I brought out the exclusive membership set, it’s awesome, it’s awesome.
At this moment.
The question that Xu Qingxiao was thinking about was not how beautiful the girl in Taohua An was, but whether she would be discovered if she went to Taohua An.
After all, no matter how much a place like this brags about elegance, it still has that meaning in the final analysis, and it is still a bit inappropriate for the dignified Minister of Household Affairs to come to Peach Blossom Temple.
In fact, after all, it is still the emperor's problem. If the emperor is a man, Xu Qingxiao is not afraid. It's not like she is here to do anything. But the emperor is a woman, so she definitely doesn't like this aspect.
If you go back and use this matter to educate yourself, wouldn't it mean that you are going to die in society?
"Forget it, never mind."
Having almost arrived at Taohua Temple, Xu Qingxiao didn't think much about it. After all, it was more important to meet the people from the Baiyimen.
If he disappeared, these people would probably come looking for him.
It doesn't matter that Cheng Lidong came to visit, he couldn't find anything, and the big fuss was just to find out whether he practiced any other magic.
But when the man in white comes to your door, it's no small matter at all.
Thinking about it, Xu Qingxiao felt a little scary for no reason. The Minister of Household Affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty, it was just a matter of practicing strange arts, and he still had nothing to do with the rebel organization.
Good guy, what is this if it's not a rebellion? Think about it deeper.
In the future, when he becomes the Prime Minister of the Wei Dynasty, he will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Then he will practice the magic to the first level, then to the second level of Confucianism and Taoism, and then to the leader of the Baiyi Sect.
hiss!
Then in the future, wouldn't you be able to say that the person standing in front of you is, Xu, Prime Minister of Wei Dynasty, the first person in different arts, Confucianism and Taoism, the leader of the White Clothes Sect, the leader of the mind, the person loved by the people of the world, the Qing Dynasty
night?
Awesome, bro.
Xu Qingxiao's heart became even heavier. Good things and bad things came together.
No matter what, the more I think about it, the more annoyed I become.
Xu Qingxiao simply ignored it and walked straight towards Taohua Temple.
At the entrance of Taohua Temple, there was no woman soliciting guests, but it looked extremely elegant. Standing outside the door, you could hear the sound of some strings, and those who didn't know thought they were in some kind of teahouse.
The door is not big, so at most two or three people can enter together.
Walking into the door, there is a lifelike peach blossom stone wall at the entrance. Sandalwood is lit on both sides. It smells very good. Every place is well made and shows elegance.
It was cool inside the nunnery, with a gentle breeze blowing.
Now that she has entered Peach Blossom Temple, Xu Qingxiao stopped being pretentious and crossed the entrance to truly enter.
A peach-colored stone platform is lined up, with some women standing on both sides, gorgeously dressed, each of them is considered to be of high beauty, and they are all relatively young, no more than twenty-five years old.
As soon as they saw Xu Qingxiao arriving, everyone subconsciously made a salute. When a distinguished guest came, they naturally had to salute.
But when they saw who it was, everyone was stunned for a moment.
They looked at Xu Qingxiao's face, which was very handsome, and her Confucian and Taoist temperament seemed gentle and easy-going, giving people an innate good impression.
Although in terms of appearance, Xu Qingxiao cannot compare to Hua Xingyun, but the difference is that Hua Xingyun has an extremely handsome image. Even though Hua Xingyun appears gentle, it still makes people feel a little awe-inspiring.
But Xu Qingxiao makes people feel close, in other words, very down-to-earth.
"Xu Qingxiao?"
"Isn't this Mr. Xu?"
"Is this Xu Wangu?"
After a few people came to their senses, they couldn't help exclaiming for a moment. As women from Peach Blossom Temple, although they were not ordinary people, they naturally knew how to be elegant when they could stay in such a place.
If the Qing husbandmen are very picky in choosing a mate, they are naturally picky too, but not as picky as the Qing husbandmen.
And who doesn’t love the great talents in the world? Especially for these women, powerful warriors are everywhere. Although immortal monks are also desirable, generally speaking, immortal monks practice quietly and are a bit ethereal.
The reason why literati are so popular is not only talent, but also many factors, such as appearance, living habits, etc.
Look at Wu Fu, he works hard when he has nothing to do, goes out to eat, his mouth is full of oil, he talks a little, opens his mouth and shuts his legs, it looks a bit uncomfortable.
As for literati, they speak elegantly and behave appropriately. They can compose some poems when they have nothing to do to satisfy their vanity. To take a step back, when a man chooses a mate, he doesn't like to talk about his grandma's legs.
When you go out to eat, your mouth is full of oil and your voice is very loud, right?
And what does Xu Qingxiao look like in the eyes of these people?
It’s a treasure! A treasure among treasures!
He is handsome in appearance, has never had any scandals, has an extraordinary temperament, is of the sixth grade in Confucianism and Taoism, is the youngest minister in the Wei Dynasty, wins the hearts of the people, is talented, has famous sayings and nouns throughout the ages, and is the best parallel prose throughout the ages.
This kind of person is simply the dream of countless women.
In fact, the women in Taohua An have already fallen in love with Xu Qingxiao. They often talk about Xu Qingxiao and wonder why Xu Qingxiao doesn't come to Taohua An.
All the princes and princes of the Great Wei Kingdom came to Taohua Temple and never returned. Even Hua Xingyun also visited Taohua Temple.
Although Xu Qingxiao has been in Wei Dynasty for so long, he has never been here once. There are even rumors that Xu Qingxiao does not like women and has disappointed countless women.
But what I didn't expect was that today, Xu Qingxiao came.
Faced with everyone's exclamations, Xu Qingxiao's first reaction was, No! I am not Xu Qingxiao, I am Chen Xinghe.
It's just that Xu Qingxiao couldn't say this, and she wasn't a fool.
"Master Xu, why are you here today?"
"Sir Xu, please, please."
"Master Xu, I like you so much. Master Xu, can you give this little girl a name?"
"Master Xu, Master Xu."
The women from Taohua Temple came one after another and directly surrounded Xu Qingxiao. Some women were not afraid of taking advantage of themselves and even stayed close to her.
Xu Qingxiao could no longer control herself now.
Who can withstand it?
"Everyone! Everyone! I'm here to find a friend."
Xu Qingxiao said with a smile. Halfway through, a woman directly hugged his hand without any regard for taboos. Such enthusiasm must be blocked.
"quiet."
At this moment, a voice sounded, and a woman, who was about twenty-five or six years old, came from behind the stone platform. She was wearing a red Luan robe and had some majesty. With a sound, the girls woke up.
She walked slowly, looked at Xu Qingxiao, and bowed gracefully.
"Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry. These sisters are a bit rude. I hope Mr. Xu won't be offended."
When she opened her mouth and said this, her voice was clear and generous.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's just that Xu came here today to find a friend and hopes that the girl will lead the way."
Xu Qingxiao said slightly politely.
I didn't lose anything. Moreover, someone else wouldn't feel bad about being treated like this. It's just a bit unseemly.
"Oh, who is the person Mr. Xu is looking for? I will look for him for you."
The latter opened his mouth and asked who Xu Qingxiao was looking for.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao fell silent.
Uh. I did come here to find a friend, but the problem is, I don’t know who the other person is.
Seeing Xu Qingxiao's silence, the latter immediately understood and smiled.
"Mr. Xu, I understand. I will take you in now."
The latter smiled slightly, and the other girls couldn't help but smile. They all got it wrong, which made Xu Qingxiao a little speechless. He wanted to explain that he really came to see his friends, but he thought there was no need to explain.
"Do you need a guest order?"
Xu Qingxiao spoke. He heard that Taohua Temple needed a guest order, so he asked in advance to avoid being embarrassed when he asked.
"Sir Xu, everyone in the Wei Dynasty needs a distinguished guest order, but you don't need it. Taohua Temple has been waiting for you for a long time. You come to us, which is really a blessing."
The other party laughed.
The purpose of the guest order is to prevent some poor talents from coming in to deceive women's feelings, so it was set up, but how could a truly powerful and distinguished person ask for this.
Especially for Xu Qingxiao, to put it bluntly, as long as Xu Qingxiao is willing, it doesn't matter if he eats, drinks, or even goes whoring here for free.
To put it more directly, Xu Qingxiao only had to go in and shout out who was willing to help pay the order. It is estimated that the woman from Taohua Temple would have already taken action before the other royal nobles paid.
So what kind of guest order is needed?
Otherwise, he was insulting Xu Qingxiao.
"It's time to work."
Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly and then followed him.
"Sister Liu, I'm coming too."
"I'm here to help, too."
Seeing Xu Qingxiao leaving, these women came over one after another, wanting to follow behind them, but with a look from Sister Liu, they all stopped.
Wait until people leave.
The crowd’s voices couldn’t help but resound.
"Humph, Sister Liu just wants to eat alone."
"That's right, that's right, on the surface it's official business, but actually I don't want to be alone with Xu Wangu!"
"I'm so angry. Mr. Xu finally came here, but I didn't expect that he would be monopolized by Sister Liu."
"Let me tell you, I just met Mr. Xu. Oh my god, I haven't been clean for the past few days."
"You met Mr. Xu? I touched him just now."
The women were discussing, and they didn't seem to be reserved at all.
For Xu Qingxiao, this was just an episode.
In the inner hall of Taohua Temple, Xu Qingxiao suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
From the outside, Peach Blossom Temple is only very high, but when you really get inside, you find that it is very spacious, with rockery and flowing springs, antique flavor, and the faint sound of the piano, which accentuates this elegance.
I have to say that this design is very good. It makes people feel safe and classy. This shopkeeper has some brains and is very good. I will get to know him if I have the opportunity in the future.
At this moment, Miss Liu's voice sounded.
"Master Xu, there are three places in Taohua Nunnery. One is the Gathering Banquet. All guests will come to the Gathering Banquet. There will be Qing Guan people performing their talents in the nunnery. The other is the High Mountain Banquet. Generally speaking,
It is a gathering of friends, there will also be some people performing songs and dances, and the third is a place for meditation and solitude."
"But no servants will come unless we have already made an appointment. Which banquet is Mr. Xu going to?"
Miss Liu opened her mouth and explained to Xu Qingxiao the three banquet halls of Taohua Temple.
"Let's have a gathering of talents."
Xu Qingxiao also understood that one was a place where the public gathered, but the waiters were all there, so it seemed more lively, the other was a small gathering, and they didn't like to be too noisy, and the third was a private room, which was well arranged.
Normally, Xu Qingxiao would definitely go to the Jingxin Banquet, but he still doesn’t know who the people from the Baiyi Sect are, so he might as well go to the Gathering of Talents Banquet.
Find the person from the White Clothes Sect first before talking about anything else.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, please."
The other person smiled and then led the way.
After a while, Xu Qingxiao came to the gathering banquet.
The entire venue is very large. It is divided into three floors, each with its own pavilion. The first floor is the hall with many tables. There are large tables on the left and right sides and a small table in the middle. It can accommodate about six people. The large tables on both sides can accommodate up to two people.
ten people.
On the stage, there was a beautiful woman sitting, who was playing the bamboo flute. The sound of the flute was beautiful and very pleasant to the ear.
"Mr. Xu, do you need to arrange a private room for you?"
Miss Liu opened her mouth and asked Xu Qingxiao.
"No, just go to the lobby."
Xu Qingxiao spoke out, then glanced at the lobby, and suddenly saw an acquaintance.
It's Wang Ru!
Why does this guy like to come to this kind of place?
Xu Qingxiao felt a little emotional. He didn't see Wang Ru often, but most of them were in places like this.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but walk in the direction of Wang Ru and say hello.
But as soon as he got closer, he heard Wang Ru's voice.
"I'm not bragging. Brother Xu is the most unusual scholar I've ever seen. He never comes to a place like this. Even if it's a literary house and a gentry, Brother Xu doesn't like it."
"Brother Xu loves books as much as his life. He is not like ordinary people like me. Come and toast to Brother Xu."
Wang Ru was boasting, but just as he was toasting, Xu Qingxiao's voice rang out.
"Brother Wang Ru."
As Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded, Wang Ru, who was toasting, was stunned.
Xu Qingxiao?
Wang Ru stood up and turned back to look at Xu Qingxiao, his eyes full of surprise.
Several scholars beside Wang Ru also stood up immediately and bowed to Xu Qingxiao.
"I've met Xu Wangu."
"Brother Wan Gu, I have long admired your great name."
"Brother Wan Gu, I have really admired you for a long time."
Everyone stood up and bowed to Xu Qingxiao.
"Everyone is well."
Xu Qingxiao also saluted in return, while Wang Ru couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
"Brother Xu, didn't you say you never come to a place like this?"
He was a little embarrassed.
Inexplicable social death.
"Something's wrong." Xu Qingxiao lowered her voice. He came here just to say hello. After all, if Wang Ru found out later, Wang Ru would definitely come back to say hello, so it was better to come directly and say hello first.
"I understand, Brother Xu, do you want to sit down?"
Wang Ru invited.
"No, I'll sit there alone."
"Have a good meal, everyone. Brother Wang Ru, come see me next time at Shouren Academy."
Xu Qingxiao smiled, which was considered as a way to support Wang Ru.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ru suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll see you at Shouren Academy next time."
After saying this, Xu Qingxiao randomly found a quiet place to sit down.
However, with the reaction of Wang Ru and others, many people have already paid attention. Gradually, more and more people are paying attention, wanting to see the true appearance of Wei's eternal talent.
Not only that, there were also many women in Taohua Temple who looked at her, including the woman on the stage, whose flute playing was not smooth, and their eyes fell on Xu Qingxiao from time to time.
This is the benefit of fame.
"Mr. Xu, do you need to arrange anything?"
Miss Liu opened her mouth and asked Xu Qingxiao what she wanted.
"A little sake and a few plates of side dishes are enough."
Xu Qingxiao smiled, and the latter nodded immediately, then waved, and immediately a boy walked over quickly.
"Sister Liu."
The young boy was very handsome, wearing the clothes of Peach Blossom Temple. He looked about twenty-six or seventeen years old. He looked at Miss Liu with a smile.
"Bring a pot of fine wine and ask the dining room to prepare six exquisite side dishes for Mr. Xu."
She spoke out and gave instructions to the other party.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, please wait a moment."
The boy looked at Xu Qingxiao and said with a flattering smile.
"I'm tired."
Xu Qingxiao smiled gently, and the latter quickly went to prepare things.
After the boy left, Xu Qingxiao also waited quietly.
"Mr. Xu, this is the peach blossom card. If you like a gentleman, just call me and I will give this peach blossom card to him. If he is willing to accept it, we can arrange to chat in a private room."
Miss Liu opened her mouth and handed a peach blossom card to Xu Qingxiao.
"Thank you."
Xu Qingxiao took the object, but the latter did not stay any longer, not wanting to disturb Xu Qingxiao's elegance.
After Miss Liu leaves.
Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but start to think deeply.
Sitting here, I have attracted the attention of many people. People who want to come to Baiyimen will contact me as soon as possible.
Just how to contact is a problem.
In the public eye, it is impossible to show up directly, so according to basic logical reasoning, the person from the Baiyi Sect should be a pure man, either mediocre or top-notch.
This is a method used by conventional rebel organizations.
There is a 90% chance that he is the top one. After all, he is very famous. If he finds an ordinary man, he will be easily noticed. But if he is the top one, there will be no problem.
I have good food and sex, and I am young and vigorous. It is normal to talk to girls about my life, and everyone can accept it.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao waited patiently.
Just when the music was about to end, Miss Liu came again, holding a tray in her hand. The peach blossom cards on the tray had been piled up. It looked a bit exaggerated and attracted the envy of many people.
"Mr. Xu, this is the Qing Guan card. After you arrived, these Qing Guan people have fallen in love with you and want to invite you to the room for a chat."
When Miss Liu said this, she was also a little helpless.
Not even a quarter of an hour after she left, most of the housekeepers at Peach Blossom Temple received the news and immediately sent over their peach blossom cards.
Everyone fell in love with Xu Qingxiao and wanted to make an appointment with her.
"Miss Liu, is there any secret in Peach Blossom Temple?"
Xu Qingxiao asked, he was not interested in the other women, and he came here today to do business, not to have sex.
"Of course there are. There are four top names in Peach Blossom Temple, but two of them are resting at home and have been ill recently. One of them has a guest, and the remaining one is free. If Mr. Xu wants to see him,
You can give the peach blossom tile to your servant."
The latter said this.
"What's her name?"
Xu Qingxiao asked curiously.
"None of the gentry servants in Peach Blossom Temple have names. They are all named after flowers. The name of the top one is Baiyi."
"Furthermore, she has a strange nature. She almost never receives guests. Even if she does, they only speak a few words. Mr. Xu, I suggest that you can actually change someone. How about this? I call the two top two. If they know about you,
Once you come, you will definitely not refuse."
Miss Liu replied.
White clothes?
Xu Qingxiao was a little speechless.
This is really bold, naming it directly after Baiyimen? Aren’t you afraid that others will find out?
But after thinking about it, there is no problem. The most dangerous place is the safest.
"No, please give my peach blossom card to the girl in white."
Xu Qingxiao directly rejected the other party's kindness.
Originally, he was only 50% sure about the girl in white, but now he is 90% sure.
I'm eccentric by nature and don't like to receive guests, so why don't I just wait for myself to come?
Could it be more obvious?
"Okay, Mr. Xu, wait a moment."
Miss Liu had nothing to say, but Xu Qingxiao insisted that she could not change and could only take Xu Qingxiao's peach blossom card away.
In the private room upstairs, many women saw Xu Qingxiao handing over the peach blossom card, and they became excited for a moment, and they all imagined that Xu Qingxiao was here to find them.
It was at this time.
When the sound of the flute stopped, the waiter stood up and bowed to everyone, then followed the maid and left.
Applause broke out immediately, but it was not loud. After all, this is a literary building.
But at this time, a voice couldn't help but sound, followed by several figures approaching.
"My husband, I am a student of Henglu Academy in Nanguo. I have met Brother Xu, but I never thought that I would be able to see Brother Xu in Peach Blossom Temple. I am truly lucky."
Several figures appeared, holding wine glasses and smiling on their faces, and came over to toast.
However, the other person had a smile on his face, but there was something else in his eyes, and he was not really here to get to know her.
The Southern Kingdom is a small country south of the Wei Dynasty. It is a dependent country of the Wei Dynasty, and the other country is a foreign student.
"Serious words."
However, in the face of such a situation, Xu Qingxiao did not show any mercy to the other party. He did not plan to stay here and would leave soon.
There is no need to cause trouble, but there is no need to show them a particularly good look. Just smile and show off.
"Brother Xu, what you said is that you are now the most talented person in the Wei Dynasty. Even Hua Xingyun has to address you as Master Xu respectfully when he sees you. How can you be so serious?"
"Come, Brother Xu, let me toast you."
The other party's voice was not particularly loud, but not quiet either. He praised Xu Qingxiao and attracted more attention.
After Mr. Wang said this, he immediately drank the wine in the glass. The others also finished their drinks, and then all looked at Xu Qingxiao.
"You are all very polite. Xu's talent can only be said to be slightly better, but it cannot be said to be eternal."
"Wine, Xu won't drink anymore. I have something to do later. I'm sorry."
Xu Qingxiao didn't appear particularly indifferent, but if she didn't drink, she wouldn't drink.
It's obvious that they are here to cause trouble for me. If I accept this, wouldn't I be a bitch?
Of course, this group of people is very smart, and they did not come up to cause trouble for themselves, but with a sense of joking.
"I understand, I understand, Mr. Xu has many things to do every day, so it is right not to drink."
"Sir Xu, if you come to such an elegant place, won't the court say anything?"
Mr. Wang smiled, and then sat down directly without any courtesy at all. At the same time, he specifically mentioned the court.
At this moment, Wang Ru's figure came over.
"This Taohua Temple is not a shameful place. Why can't Brother Xu come? Dukes, princes, civil and military officials have all been here before. Brother Wangfu, what do you mean by this?"
When Wang Ru came, he realized that Mr. Wang was here to make people angry, so he came over immediately. Knowing that Xu Qingxiao was too lazy to deal with such people, he stepped in to deal with them.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Seeing Wang Ru coming, Mr. Wang became a little curious.
"I am Wang Ru, a student of Nanyu Mansion."
Wang Rupi said with a smile.
"Oh, never heard of it." Mr. Wang shook his head and bluntly said that he had never heard of Wang Ru's name.
Then Mr. Wang looked at Xu Qingxiao and smiled.
"Brother Xu, I heard that you are talented and a great talent throughout the ages. When I saw you today, why didn't Brother Xu write an impromptu poem to let us have a taste of what the eternal talent is like? In this way, after Wang returns, he can also replace Brother Xu.
Let’s spread the word and tell the students in Southern China that Brother Xu is a great talent.”
Mr. Wang opened his mouth with a smile on his face, hoping that Xu Qingxiao would compose an impromptu poem to adjust the atmosphere and at the same time appreciate a few things.
Faced with this request, Xu Qingxiao didn't want to pay attention to it.
Let yourself compose an impromptu poem when you come up? Are you worthy?
If you really want to compose poetry, what do you look like? A clown? If others let you live the whole life, then you will live the whole life yourself?
If the emperor ordered him to compose poems, Xu Qingxiao would still be willing to compose one or two poems. Who is this guy? Henglu Academy of Nanguo? I have never heard of it.
"Brother Xu, please don't misunderstand. We have always heard about your great talent, and seeing it today, we are a little abrupt."
"Isn't the Taiping Poetry Fair just around the corner? If Brother Xu doesn't want to compose poetry here, then wait until the Taiping Poetry Fair to see Brother Xu's eternal talent."
"When I think of Brother Xu taking the top spot in the Taiping Poetry Society, Wang feels inexplicably happy. Being able to witness such a grand event with my own eyes will be something I will never forget."
Mr. Wang said with a smile, and his words were even more strange.
On the surface, there are all kinds of exaggerations, but they are flattering. We are all literati. In theory, everyone is good to you and me. From the beginning, you will come out on top. Once word spreads, even people who have no ideas will have ideas.
"Your Excellency is serious. There are great talents in the world. Xu's literary talent is just like this. As for this Taiping Poetry Society, Xu will not participate."
"Sir, if you have nothing else to do, please don't stand in my way."
Xu Qingxiao spoke in a calm tone, not bothering to play text traps with the other party, just let it go.
But when he said this, everyone couldn't help but be slightly surprised, including the rest of the people watching.
Xu Qingxiao will not participate in the Taiping Poetry Festival?
In fact, everyone thought that Xu Qingxiao would definitely attend such a grand gathering, and were extremely looking forward to whether Xu Qingxiao could continue to write poems that would last forever at the poetry gathering.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingxiao didn’t go?
Soon, Mrs. Wang and others came to their senses, and then laughed.
"I see. It seems that Brother Xu no longer looks down on the Taiping Poetry Club. When I understand, I won't disturb Brother Xu."
Before Mr. Wang left, he made Xu Qingxiao feel disgusted.
It makes people a little angry.
But Xu Qingxiao is very calm. This is what this kind of person is like. Isn't it easy for you to be yin and yang weird? Just pick a thorn and you will be disgusted.
If you go to be more serious, people will be happier. You can be more serious with you for a day. If you dare to say something wrong, you will immediately publicize it.
Mrs. Wang and others left.
Wang Ru, on the other hand, sat aside and said in a lowered voice.
"Brother Xu, these people are all scholars from other countries. They all respect the lineage of Zhu Sheng. They are not good things."
Wang Ru said this.
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
Most of the literati in the world revere Zhu Sheng, especially many countries around the Wei Dynasty. They have great reverence for Zhu Sheng. If the great Confucians of Zhu Sheng's lineage go to these countries, the kings will personally receive them and show great respect.
I have offended Zhu Sheng's lineage, and the negative impact has now appeared.
But fortunately, they are all small things.
Xu Qingxiao waited quietly, not caring about such things at all.
After a while, the food and wine were served, and the waiter specially arranged them for Xu Qingxiao, while Xu Qingxiao was thinking about something.
"Mr. Xu, your food and drinks have been placed."
The waiter spoke, looked at Xu Qingxiao and smiled.
"Okay, please."
Xu Qingxiao nodded without saying anything, and the waiter laughed sarcastically and stood aside.
"For your reward."
Wang Ru on the side saw clearly and took out an ingot of broken silver and threw it to the waiter.
The latter took the broken silver and immediately said with joy on his face: "Thank you, thank you so much."
Then leave.
After the waiter left, Wang Ru couldn't help but wonder when he saw Xu Qingxiao.
"Brother Xu, are you serious about not coming to this Taiping Poetry Festival? This is one of the three major literati gatherings in the world."
Wang Ru asked.
"There's no point in going if I don't go. I've been busy with official duties lately."
Xu Qingxiao was serious. The poetry meeting was just for show-off. I really didn’t like show-off, so there was no need to go.
"Okay, then Brother Xu, please sit quietly. If you have any questions, you can come to me directly. I'll be there first."
Wang Ru nodded, but did not dissuade him, but stood up and left.
"Okay, brother Wang Ru, walk slowly."
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
Just when Wang Ru stood up, Miss Liu came over and said with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Xu, the girl in white has come down."
As Miss Liu's voice sounded.
Xu Qingxiao stood up immediately and let him lead the way.
Seeing Xu Qingxiao being so direct, the latter also smiled and led the way.
After leaving the Gathering of Talents, Miss Liu led the way, and Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but look over.
Taohua'an does have good taste, and no woman is bad. Even the receptionist, Miss Liu, is extremely good. She has a graceful figure and is slightly fleshy, especially when she walks. The light red robe cannot hide her.
beautiful buttocks.
As for food and sex, Xu Qingxiao is a gentleman, but shouldn't a gentleman appreciate it?
"Master Xu."
At this moment, the other party turned around and shouted.
Swish.
Xu Qingxiao's eyes narrowed, he is a gentleman.
"Mr. Xu, the girl in white is waiting for you in the private room upstairs. If you need anything, just shake the peach blossom bell in the room."
Miss Liu smiled.
Xu Qingxiao thanked her and went upstairs.
Xu Qingxiao followed Xu Qingxiao up the stairs to the door of the private room, and slowly knocked on the door.
Standing outside the door, a light fragrance hits your nose.
"Sir, please come in."
A sweet voice sounded, Xu Qingxiao looked upright, and slowly pushed the door open.
The people here are from the White Clothes Sect, and they are definitely not good people. You must be careful.
Xu Qingxiao felt confident.
After pushing open the door.
At this moment, a stunning lady was sitting quietly at the table, with several steaming dishes and warm wine in the middle.
"Nujia, I have met the young master."
The girl in white is very beautiful, very elegant, giving people a very delicate and quiet feeling. Sitting there, it makes people feel calm. She is stunning, ranking third, not as good as the empress, and not as good as the famous Sutra Pavilion.
A woman, but this feeling of fragility makes people feel pity for no reason!
This white-clothed sect is really good at picking people out.
If you choose a woman with this kind of temperament to be your internal escort, normally anyone who sees this stunning beauty will probably not suspect that she is from the Bai Yi Sect.
Walking into the private room, Xu Qingxiao closed the door.
His face was very calm, and he did not relax his vigilance because of the other person's fragile and quiet temperament. On the contrary, this kind of person is the most terrifying.
Be careful and alert.
"Girl in white, tell me."
Xu Qingxiao sat down and looked at each other calmly.
The latter's eyes showed doubts, but after thinking about it, he spoke directly.
"Mr. Xu, I heard that you are talented. The slave family has admired you for a long time. I never thought that Mr. Xu would give me a peach blossom card. I was a little scared. I hope Mr. Xu will not blame you."
The other party also had a very soft voice, spoke elegantly, and praised himself.
But when he said this, Xu Qingxiao became a little curious.
playing dumb?
Play me?
Xu Qingxiao was a little helpless. The rebel organization really didn't know how to use their brains. I've already come. If you don't get straight to the point with me, are you still going to perform?
"Girl in white, if something happens, just tell me."
"Xu came over to meet me today, and his attitude has been very clear."
"Don't worry, there are no officials outside. Xu came alone."
Xu Qingxiao said it very directly. He didn't want to waste any time. He had to study public opinion when he went back. There was no time to waste here.
"Xu Gongzi's slave family doesn't understand what you mean."
The latter was a little embarrassed. She didn't know what Xu Qingxiao meant.
But it's hard to blame anyone. After all, the person in front of him is an eternal talent in the Wei Dynasty.
It is impossible not to admire him.
It's just that she has a gentle and quiet temperament. Even though she has some respect for Xu Qingxiao, she is not like other women who fall in love with everyone they meet.
Hear this.
Xu Qingxiao shook her head and stood up directly, looking a little indifferent.
"Since the girl in white doesn't want to say anything clearly, then Xu will leave."
The other party is still pretending to be confused, so there is no need to say more.
"Mr. Xu, is it because the slave family didn't entertain you?"
"Please forgive me, Mr. Xu. The slave family has rarely received guests and is not familiar with this. If I have done anything wrong, I hope Mr. Xu can forgive me."
The girl in white stood up. She was a little flustered and didn't know if she had done something wrong.
After taking a look at Bai Yi, Xu Qingxiao shook her head, said nothing more, opened the door and left.
Good guy, you’ve come to this point and still don’t tell the truth?
Is it possible for me to directly say, Hello, I am Xu Qingxiao, you are the White Clothes Sect’s internal agent, right? What do you need from me?
Isn't this sick?
Xu Qingxiao left with a calm expression and said nothing.
The girl in white came to the door and looked at Xu Qingxiao leaving, inexplicably looking a little self-reproached. She was a poor woman, but she had no interest in ordinary people.
On weekdays, I would sit alone in the boudoir, listening to the music of the piano, and no one would see me. Occasionally, I would see her, but there would never be any physical contact.
Even after staying for a quarter of an hour, she would issue an order to expel the guest.
But she was still very happy when she heard that Xu Qingxiao wanted to see her, because Xu Qingxiao's name was so popular that she was talented, young and handsome, and she also defended the people's grievances. Such a person was hard to find in the world.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you will fall in love with Xu Qingxiao once you see her, but you are willing to meet her once.
But what I didn't expect was that Xu Qingxiao came up and said some incomprehensible words.
Then he left looking a little sullen.
It made her feel that there was something she had not done well, so she naturally blamed herself.
Xu Qingxiao left.
Without saying hello to Wang Ru, he left directly along the same route.
"Mr. Xu, are you leaving now?"
When Miss Liu saw Xu Qingxiao walking out, she couldn't help but stepped forward to ask.
"Well, I have something important to do, so I won't bother you. Thank you for your hospitality."
Xu Qingxiao nodded and left directly without looking back.
It's not that I don't think Bai Yi is a member of the Bai Yi sect, but I think there is something wrong with the Bai Yi sect's brain.
Come by yourself!
But when you come to meet me, it doesn’t matter whether you are dressed in white or not. Even if you are not dressed in white, you must at least meet me.
How can we talk about things without even touching each other?
Isn't this bullying an honest person?
This white door!
There is absolutely no way he can rebel, there is something wrong with his brain.
Xu Qingxiao left quickly, not bothering to talk to Bai Yimen anymore. She didn't care whether he lived or died.
Nowadays, there are a lot of things to worry about. Just the matter of public opinion, Xu Qingxiao can't figure it out, and she still wastes her time.
Isn't this a scam?
Just when they walked out of Taohua An, a group of foreign merchants walked into Taohua An surrounded by several people. These merchants all smiled, but when they saw themselves, their faces turned pale, their laughter stopped, and they did not dare to say anything.
A little sound.
Xu Qingxiao just glanced at it and left without thinking too much.
Among the alien races, those who were admired by the stars couldn't help but frown. They didn't know what happened, but they somehow guessed something.
But both parties didn't say anything, and just turned around and left.
That's it.
Xu Qingxiao returned to Shouren Academy alone, lay down on the bed, did nothing, closed her eyes and rested.
soon.
In the blink of an eye, the next day.
Wuchang year, August 14th.
The Taiping Poetry Festival, which is attracting the attention of countless people, will begin tomorrow.
The Poetry Festival was co-organized by the Ministry of Rites of the Great Wei Dynasty, Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the four major academies. The Ministry of Rites of the Great Wei Dynasty sent an invitation early in the morning, inviting Xu Qingxiao to participate.
The Taiping Poetry Festival was held in Liyang Palace, not within the palace, but in the northwest of the capital.
The entire capital of the Wei Dynasty has also been decorated with lights and decorations. Firstly, it is to prepare for His Majesty's birthday and the people will have fun together. Secondly, there is something like a poetry meeting, which attracts countless literati and elegant guests.
However, those who can enter are not ordinary people. The Liyang Palace can accommodate 40,000 people, the Ministry of Rites has a quota of 5,000 people, the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty has 10,000 people, the four major academies have 10,000 people, and the remaining 5,000 relatives of the emperor, princes and nobles, etc.
There were 10,000 people who were allowed to enter by lottery, allowing ordinary people and ordinary scholars to enter.
The remaining people can only play outside Liyang Palace and around the capital.
If there is any news, people in Liyang Palace will report it immediately, with a delay of half an hour at most.
This Taiping Poetry Meeting lasted for seven days and was roughly divided into two sessions. One was impromptu poetry writing, where anyone could compose poems and rhymes, which was equivalent to cheering each other on. The second session was a poetry competition.
However, the people who compete for poetry are not just random people. They all have good reputations. Generally, they will invite talented people from the ten countries. These ten countries are the ten countries with the best literary rankings, which are determined by the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty.
But it's a pity that Xu Qingxiao doesn't care about these things, because he said he wouldn't participate if he didn't participate.
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xu!"
"problem occurs."
Chenshi.
Xu Qingxiao, who was still thinking about how to win public opinion, suddenly heard Wang Ru speak.
As the sound rang out.
Instead, Chen Xinghe came out first.
"Brother Wang Ru, why are you so anxious?"
Chen Xinghe spoke, somewhat curious.
"Brother Xu, you are in trouble, you are in trouble."
"Yesterday you said something wrong in Peach Blossom Temple, and the prince took it out and publicized it. Now many scholars have complained about you."
Wang Ru was sweating profusely and said excitedly.
"Peach Blossom Temple?"
"Husband?"
Chen Xinghe was a little confused.
Xu Qingxiao also frowned slightly.
"Brother Xu, didn't you say yesterday that you didn't want to participate in the Taiping Poetry Festival?"
"This prince made a big publicity that day, saying that Brother Xu, you are proud of your talent, look down on the world's scholars, and do not want to participate in the Taiping Poetry Society."
"Tell me that you think that only ordinary literati are willing to participate in the Taiping Poetry Society. Really talented literati do not even bother to participate."
"You also said that you think the talented people from the Ten Kingdoms are mediocre. Being with them makes you feel like you are lowering your status."
"This prince is indeed not a good person. He framed you and misinterpreted his meaning. Now all the talented people from ten countries have their opinions on you. I went to explain to you, but no one wanted to listen."
"Brother Xu, why don't you explain it yourself?"
Wang Ru opened his mouth and told the rumors outside.
At the same time, Xu Qingxiao was discouraged from explaining the rumors.
"This is really unreasonable."
"Junior brother, how could you mean this? These people are really hateful."
After hearing this, Chen Xinghe couldn't help but cursed.
However, Xu Qingxiao had no expression at all.
"Let them talk, brother Wang Ru, there is no need to explain."
"I'm afraid that the talented men from the Ten Kingdoms have already had a grudge against me. Is an explanation useful?"
Xu Qingxiao spoke calmly.
He has become immune to such rumors.
When someone scolds you, do you respond? Or clarify?
Is clarification useful?
Furthermore, maybe people know that this is false, but they just want to cause trouble for themselves.
After all, the name Xu Wangu is too loud.
Who doesn’t want to take advantage of the heat?
"Okay, brother Wang Ru, I really won't participate in this Taiping Poetry Contest, and I don't want to waste time on it."
"Just assume that they are right. They are indeed a bunch of mediocre people. Okay, I will continue reading. Senior brother, please entertain Brother Wang Ru."
Xu Qingxiao returned to her room and continued reading, ignoring what was going on outside the window.
This made Wang Ru a little embarrassed.
"Brother Wang Ru, my junior brother really doesn't want to participate in this Taiping Poetry Festival, but it doesn't matter, as long as I'm here!"
"I have recently composed two poems. Please help me read them."
Chen Xinghe pulled Wang Ru, who happened to have composed two poems for him to watch.
The latter followed reluctantly.
at this time.
There were indeed many voices in Kyoto during the Great Wei Dynasty.
