As the words fell, a green figure turned around from the other side of the lake and came into everyone's sight. She had a graceful figure and a peach blossom face, and her whole body was filled with an aura of youth. However, Xu Zizhen suddenly had a big head at the sight of it.
He was fighting, secretly shouting that something was wrong, this woman was none other than Hu Qing, whom he had accidentally teased yesterday.
Mr. Kong couldn't help but laugh: "Why did Miss Hu come over there?"
Hu Qing snorted: "Miss, I've been here a long time ago. I'm just in a bad mood and walking around to relax." As she was talking, her eyes caught sight of Xu Zizhen standing beside her. She was startled, and then her face changed drastically.
Yin Ya clenched her eyes and said, "You!"
Sooner or later, Xu Zizhen could not dodge the stepmother's fists, so he simply rolled his eyes: "It's me, what?"
With a cry, Hu Qing had already drawn his sword in his hand. Wen Xian saw that something was wrong and had already rushed forward, grabbed her wrist and said helplessly: "Qing'er, why are you angry with him? You don't have to be angry with yourself.
body."
Hu Qing gritted his teeth and then came to his senses. Xu Zizhen had obviously followed Wen Xian. If she had trouble with him now, she would be making it clear that she would not give Wen Xian face. Besides, in front of so many people, she wanted to
If it really makes a big fuss, people will definitely know about the scandal, and in the end it will be her own misfortune.
Thinking of this, she stomped her feet bitterly, took back her sword, and glared at Xu Zizhen: "Wait!"
Xu Zizhen didn't take it seriously and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait." After saying that, he turned his head and stopped looking at her. This shrewd girl was too lazy to pay attention to her.
However, he accidentally noticed a gloomy cold light flashing in Mr. Kong's eyes, and he was immediately curious, when did I get into trouble with him?
He paid attention and looked carefully again, and found that Mr. Kong's eyes lingered on Hu Qing from time to time, and he suddenly realized: This guy has taken a liking to this girl, is he planning to take revenge on her?
At this time, another person walked up not far behind Hu Qing, but it turned out to be an acquaintance of Xu Zizhen. It was Hu Chang who stood up for Zhang Ling and the others at the flower party.
Mr. Kong also saw him at the same time. He took two steps forward, bowed and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, long time no see."
Hu Chang smiled and returned the gift: "Brother Lao Kong has been waiting for a long time, and Hu is ashamed! Forgive me!"
"Where is it? Brother Hu, please."
"Brother Kong, please."
Hu Chang followed Mr. Kong into the pavilion, and he spotted Xu Zizhen with his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then walked over, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "So Brother Xu is here too today, a rare guest! A rare guest!"
Xu Zizhen didn't like him sincerely, so he laughed and said perfunctorily: "It's easy to talk, I just came here to join in the fun."
Hu Qing suddenly jumped over and said to Hu Chang: "Brother, do you know this... this person?" She almost blurted out the word "whore and thief", but luckily she stopped her mouth temporarily.
Before Hu Chang spoke, Xu Zizhen was stunned: "He is your brother?"
Hu Qing rolled his eyes: "What does it have to do with you?"
Xu Zizhen secretly smiled. Originally, he felt a little guilty for accidentally eating her tofu, but since she was Hu Chang's sister, it made no sense. Anyway, Hu Chang and himself didn't deal with each other. It was because Wen Xian was here today that he
He was being hypocritically polite to himself, and he estimated that if anything fell into his hands, he would definitely kill himself.
At this moment, Zhang Ling made a sound, pointed in the distance and said: "Master Gu is here too."
Everyone turned to look, and saw Gu Zhongchen in a green shirt riding a green horse from a distance. He came close, dismounted, bowed to everyone, and said with a smile: "Zhongchen is late, I hope you can forgive me!"
Everyone hurriedly returned the favor one by one. His reputation as the most talented person in the south of the Yangtze River was actually nothing, but his grandfather was Master Gu, whom everyone respected in Suzhou Prefecture.
Master Kong stood at the head of the crowd and was the initiator of today's gathering. He was about to step forward to say a few words to Gu Zhongchen when he saw Gu Zhongchen's face change and he walked towards the servant of Wen Xian's family, respectfully
Zuo bowed and said: "It turns out Mr. Xu is here, Zhong Chen is polite!"
Xu Zizhen felt embarrassed now and quickly returned the greeting: "Young Master Gu, you're so polite!"
Gu Zhongchen's character is actually not bad, but he has been secretly in love with Liuli for a long time. The last time he saw Xu Zizhen, he wanted to compete with him for the right to enter the room to taste tea, so naturally he couldn't help but become jealous, but later he was completely shocked by Xu Zizhen's words.
After returning home, I reflected deeply and realized that being the most talented person in Jiangnan was a complete joke.
He does have the demeanor of everyone. After all, he has been influenced by Gu Yi since he was a child. After the setback, he did not hold any grudge against Xu Zizhen. Instead, he regarded him as a master in his mind. Of course, this also has the factor of Xu Zizhen deliberately being weird. He dressed like a businessman and spoke
Extremely vulgar and rude, yet possessing an astonishing literary talent.
Mr. Kong just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by this little episode. He felt a little unhappy. He really didn't understand what was so special about this servant of the Wen family. Why was everyone so polite to him? Of course it was nonsense.
Qing was an exception, but although Hu Qing was rude to him, he did not show that he regarded him as a servant, but regarded him as an equal enemy with angry eyes.
After Gu Zhongchen and Xu Zizhen greeted each other, he took the initiative to introduce him to everyone. There were a few scholars in the pavilion, but Xu Zizhen had never seen them before. After hearing his introduction, he realized that almost all of the people present today were the Deyun Shi
Even Wen Xian is a member of Deyun Society. That Mr. Kong is named Kong Baishu, and he is the president of Deyun Society.
Those scholars didn't know Xu Zizhen's background. Although they saw him wearing ordinary clothes, they didn't dare to be disrespectful at all. They knew that Gu Zhongchen was the leader among them, and even he was so polite to this man. How could they dare to be disrespectful? Therefore.
One by one, they quickly came forward to greet me and were extremely polite.
What Xu Zizhen was most afraid of was a scene of hypocrisy and politeness, but because Gu Zhongchen was so enthusiastic, he felt embarrassed to brush it off, so he forced himself to greet everyone and quickly said hello and slipped back to his carriage. Gu Zhongchen still wanted to pull him away.
He came over to join us, but Kong Baishu interrupted him and pulled him over, and finally the matter was settled.
I don't know when a large number of scholars came over again, but they were obviously not from the same circle as Hu Chang and others. They stood in groups of two and a half and watched on the periphery, pointing and whispering to the members of the Deyun Society in the pavilion.
Xu Zizhen was greatly surprised. It seemed that Deyun Society had a good reputation. It was just a party and so many fans came to support it. But it was none of his business. His task today was just to accompany Wen Xian to prevent her from having any accidents.
, I don’t have anything else to do now, I just have some time to relax for a while.
Seeing more and more people around him, Kong Baishu couldn't help but feel a little proud. Although he was not as good as Hu Chang in terms of family background and not as good as Gu Zhongchen in terms of reputation, his prestige in Yunshe was unmatched by anyone. At least he could gather people.
With so many people coming, this was his ability. He glanced at Xu Zizhen triumphantly, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, but found that Xu Zizhen had already narrowed his eyes and dozed off, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
At this time, a cold and sweet voice interrupted his thoughts: "Master Kong, I wonder what the theme of today's gathering is?"
Kong Baishu came back to his senses immediately and saw that it was Wen Xian. He quickly put away his distracting thoughts, nodded to Wen Xian with a smile, then looked around and said loudly: "It is rare for us to get together in autumn today, and I am proud of Deyun."
What a joy it is to mark the fifth anniversary of the founding of the Poetry Society! Today’s gathering will be about connecting friends with poetry..."
As soon as he said this, Hu Chang suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Brother Kong, I just want to make a suggestion. We always use poetry in the name of poetry. Can we change the way today?"
Kong Baishu was stunned: "What does Brother Hu mean?"
Hu Chang glanced at Xu Zizhen without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Brother Kong is a master of poetry and painting, and that Mr. Gu and Miss Wen are also masters of it. Why don't we paint a painting each with the theme of autumn today? I don't know that Brother Kong
how about?"
Although Xu Zizhen was napping, he didn't really fall asleep. Hu Chang's words fell into his ears clearly. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, this guy is really worthless, now I'm giving in?
Although Kong Baishu didn't understand what Hu Chang meant, he keenly caught Hu Chang's casual glance at Xu Zizhen, and he suddenly understood. He nodded and smiled and said: "Brother Hu's words are wonderful, the autumn wind is solemn, and there is a unique beauty, so then follow
Brother Hu." After saying this, he shouted outside the pavilion, "Come on, set the table!"
