It rained continuously all night. I got up last night and there was a power outage. I held a portable code on the bed for one chapter. I only had one and a half chapters on hand. I just received a call, so I quickly got up from bed and wrote one chapter first. After I woke up, I wrote two chapters.
Chapter effort.
I have decided to change my ways and gradually speed up the pace. All the interruptions I have encountered recently are probably inevitable accidents...
.........Yu Hezhong's attitude is mysterious, but looking at his smile, it doesn't look like he has found some disgraceful secret passage. There is a bit of complacency and showing off in that smile, and there is probably some interesting inside story in it.
Ning Yi thought about it and Jin'er had probably dragged Yunzhu to Chen Luoyuan's house. If he could see something interesting, he could have something to talk about later. Now he followed Yu Hezhong to the other side of the forest.
past.
On the way, Yu Hezhong also smiled and talked to Ning Yi about this outing.
"Xiao Ning must have known about today's gathering. They said they were going to attend Duke Chen's invitation. In fact, there were probably more people planning to meet the girl who came down from the capital. Ha, I just saw those painted boats by the river.
But there are quite a few people who have come here, oh, by the way, are there any huākui leaders in Jiangning that Xiaoning is familiar with?"
"Not very familiar with it."
"Oh, I have heard people talk about it in the past few days. That girl Qilan is good at poetry and prose, has a bookish atmosphere, plays the piano well, and dances like a goddess... These people probably want to be together today.
Come here, you can see some good performances..."
He said this with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes. Ning Yi smiled and nodded: "Well, there are many people here." If you miss this time, I'm afraid you have to wait until the annual Huā Kui competition to have a chance to see them perform.
For them, we just looked at them and left."
"Is Xiao Ning here just for the performance?"
"Why else?"
"Huh." Yu Hezhong looked at him strangely, but then he showed a look of understanding and shook his head, "Actually... among the people who came here this time, there are those who want to make a name for themselves with this article.
But a lot of it, Xiao Ning must have heard about it, before the girl from the capital came over, someone used this news to mess up the situation and amplify it. It was said that Miss Li came here to challenge Jiang Ning's leader, and then there was a lot of people
The literati are clamoring to write good poems so that the girls from Jiangning can overwhelm the people in the capital. Hey, it’s a pity that they have all been taken advantage of without knowing it. If it hadn’t been publicized like this, this party, over there
I didn’t plan to do it originally, I’m afraid it will just be an appearance this time.”
There are many meanings in Yu Hezhong's words." Ning Yi thought for a while: "Brother Yu..., it seems that he is very familiar with Miss Li?"
"Oh, you'll find out later. Let me just keep it a secret. It will definitely be a big surprise."
The words in his mouth were actually no different from a confession, and the two of them continued to move forward." Yu Hezhong muttered: "What Cao Guan? Liu Qingdi just now" and many famous literati in Jiangning today.
Or they are unknown but want to be famous. If they write a few good poems, they will be favored by this literary conference and will be sung by everyone in the future. However, although they are also talented and learned, Zhou who accompanied Miss Li here this time will definitely be sung by everyone.
Bang Yan, Tang Weiyan and others are also quite outstanding in talent and learning. If you compare them, they will definitely be very exciting. Xiao Ningruo has a few words with his skill, so he might as well give them a try..."
Chen Luoyuan's garden is located halfway up the mountain. While talking, the two of them walked up and out of the small forest, and the view became wider. This should be the side entrance or the back entrance of the garden. It is surrounded by a wall and a servant is guarding the door.
Yu Hezhong went over and said a few words first, and as expected he let them in without an invitation.
After passing through a small courtyard planted with bamboo trees, the two of them arrived in front of a small courtyard. Yu Hezhong asked him to wait here and went straight into the courtyard gate. After a while, he came out again, frowning slightly, as if he had never seen anything before.
Find the person you are looking for.
He looked around awkwardly, obviously not familiar with this garden. Then he smiled and said a few words to Ning Yi, and then went to a door on the left, just to ask Ning Yi not to wander around, so as not to get lost.
Ning Yi couldn't find it. He sat down on a stone bench nearby. After a while, he walked around and heard something coming from the courtyard on the right.
"...That's such a good idea...those people are here just to be famous and talk about being polite and polite. If they really want to be aggressive, can they really shrink back?"
"It's always something to take over.
"But I don't know how they plan to make things difficult now, and it's futile to think about it."
"Singing, poetry, that's all. In terms of folk art, we have our own masters. Don't worry. Let's test the writing. I can't believe the talents of Brother Zhou and Brother Tang. Don't think about it. Soldiers will block it, and water will cover it.
"
"These sisters in Jiangning also have amazing artistic talents, but they may not be able to win the competition. Brother Xu, don't be too confident..."
"Haha, how has Master never said this... They shouldn't go too far. I guess after playing two songs, these people should shut up."
"It's hard to say, the ones who are disrupting the situation are the kind of profit-seeking businessmen. How can they know how to measure things? Maybe Qilan will challenge Shishi, and Miaomiao will challenge again. Cats and dogs are wandering around and they have to ask Shishi to teach them. That would be really tiring.
One by one, one by one...
"...In fact, there is not much to worry about. The poems and essays of Cao Guan, Liu Qingdi, and Qi Yukang are just that. I met Li Pin in Bianjing last year, but he is not here now either.
Jiang Ning, Cao Guan's poems are quite satisfactory. Although they are also remarkable, they are not as good as Bang Yan's. Oh, I heard that they also found Ning Liheng, but I don't know if it is true. This man's behavior
He is low-key and can write poems, water-melody songs, and sapphire cases, but the capital can be passed down from generation to generation."
"I'm worried that he has done something serious, but he has been praised as Jiangning's most talented person after just two or three poems. In my opinion, this is a bit exaggerated. His literary talent has not been verified, who knows if he is something like that.
A person who seeks fame and reputation."
"Oh, I heard that this person behaves in a low-key manner and is not very enthusiastic about various poetry and literature gatherings. I have heard in the past that he used words to gain fame. However, after a few coincidences, not many people doubted him anymore."
"If you're not so keen" then why come here again this time..."
"Who knows, in short, when the time comes, what will he draw? Let's follow up. Who else are you afraid of in these matters? However, it is not good if we always let them take the lead. I have a few questions here.
, you can take it out to scare away some ignorant people first, and prevent cats and dogs from coming to make trouble..."
The voices over there continued for a while, and then gradually came over. Ning Yi found it interesting to hear them mentioning himself. He knew that his true talent and learning in poetry was not as good as these people, but
He didn't mind what these people said about him. After listening for a while, a voice sounded from behind.
"Who are you? No outsiders are allowed in here."
Appearing behind him was a petite woman dressed as a maid, frowning to look fierce. Ning Yi glanced at her and said, "Someone brought me in."
"No one is allowed in unless the lady has informed you in advance. If you have an invitation and go the wrong way, please follow Chunmei back to the front."
The maid's attitude was resolute and she immediately led Ning Yi away. Before Ning Yi took out the invitation, someone was already coming quickly from the other side of the yard. "Going out of the yard" and looking this way: "Who is there?"
Are you eavesdropping here?" Naturally, he was one of the people who just participated in the discussion.
"Mr. Tang, this young man must have gone to the wrong place. Chunmei is waiting for him to go back to the front."
The young man surnamed Tang frowned: "Is there an invitation? He couldn't have sneaked in over the wall..." He probably felt that Ning Yi heard their problems and plans here, so his attitude was a bit bad.
Ning Yi curled his lips and thought, "It's a bit unreliable that Yu Hezhong hasn't come here after so long. He was about to take out the invitation card from his body." Several more figures came over at the courtyard gate, and a woman's voice came from among them.
Said: "Ah, wait, Brother Xiao Ning, you are here too... Chunmei, this is my invited guest."
There were five figures coming out of the yard, including the young master named Tang who spoke. Four men and one woman. Among them, the woman was dressed in a beautiful spring dress, with an aqua dress, a light and elegant figure, and long hair.
The back of the head is lowered, tied up with two white hairbands, and the hair is decorated with two white flowers. This outfit neither looks too vulgar nor too refined. It is casual but elegant, obviously.
I put some thought into it.
She is the girl surnamed Wang who I saw with Yu Hezhong that day. After her bangs were put down, her forehead no longer looked wide, and her chin was also moderate, showing a little bit of charm. Combined with the men's clothing she saw that day,
In Ning Yi's eyes, there was even a rather amazing feeling.
This girl is speaking for Ning Yi, and her other identity is naturally the protagonist that everyone wants to meet today, the number one huā in the capital, Master Li.
Due to Yu Hezhong's previous mysterious attitude, Ning Yi had some guesses, but when he got the confirmation, he still felt that it was a coincidence. Ning Yi had been tested for a long time in his previous life and rarely treated people well.
Most of the stunning impression comes from the contrast between her carrot head when she was dressing up in men's clothing. Of course, her appearance is naturally outstanding, but what makes people feel more elegance and simplicity is her appearance.
The combination of temperament, heavy makeup and light makeup is generally suitable for the appearance. Probably considering that Ning Yi might have entered without knowing it, the woman immediately stopped people from taking the invitation and established the legitimacy of Ning Yi's entry.
She was standing there, smiling happily. Anyone who looked at her would think that she felt heartfelt joy at the arrival of this person. The maid who was just about to lead Ning Yi away pursed her lips and said weakly "Oh"
, stood aside, and in front, the man surnamed Tang laughed and apologized: "It turns out that I know you, Master. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. I was really sorry just now."
"It's okay." Ning Yi nodded, and then looked at Master Li who was walking over with a smile, "I just met Brother Yu outside, and he brought me here. I don't know where he went at this time." Although the other party didn't ask.
, but he must be curious in his heart, Ning Yi feels that it is still necessary to explain.
"It turns out that Brother Yu is here too. Chunmei, have you seen Brother Yu?"
"He's at Mama Li's place..." the maid replied in a low voice.
"Oh, you can bring him to us later."
"Yes, miss."
After a simple conversation, Ning Yi felt a little strange. The maid named Chunmei next to him seemed to have a guilty conscience when asked by Master Li. Although he could see it, he couldn't guess the reason. Just now Yu Hezhong
I went to look for Master Li, but of course I couldn’t find her.” Instead, I found Mother Li over there.
Li's mother has some opinions about Hezhong itself. It's not that Hezhong can't afford the expenses of going to a brothel. Yu Hezhong's family background is pretty good, but it's naturally far worse than other people who associate with Li Shishi, and Shishi because of his old age
It's always not good to give him all kinds of preferential treatment because of his acquaintance. After a conversation, I heard that he found an "old acquaintance" again, which was not bad. Mother Li didn't know why she fell out, but she was about to
Hezhong held him there, and then informed his maid Chunmei to get the man out quickly. This was why Chunmei seemed a little anxious.
Ning Yi didn't know the reason, but the looks on the other side also caught his attention.
After he mentioned He Zhong's name, the expressions of the four scholars and gentlemen changed from solemn to slightly disapproving. It was obvious that they did not have a very good impression of He Zhong.
These thoughts passed through my mind. The teacher girl in front also told the maid to bring some snacks and fruits. Then she took a deep look at Ning Yi, smiled slightly and said: "We met that day. I can't reveal my identity clearly. Xiao Ning
Don't blame me, brother." His tone was still as close as the girl next door.
Of course, there is nothing to be angry about. Ning Yi smiled and said: "I was shocked."
"Heh." Shishi lowered his head and smiled, then turned around and said, "Oh, Brother Xiao Ning, come and sit with us." "Little sister, let me introduce to you..."
She said, "Among the young masters over there, one of them looked at Mr. Li's expression and waved his hand: "Since they are friends of Master and Master, they are also friends of mine." Why don't you come over together and discuss it together?
Today’s countermeasures are the business.”
Several people then walked towards the yard over there. The four men walked in front, still lowering their heads to discuss how to deal with various challenges today. Shishi accompanied Ning Yi and walked behind, stroking the hair beside his ears: "This way
Isn’t it a little unexpected to meet each other? Shishi was also taken aback, and Brother Yu really didn’t know what to say beforehand.” Then he smiled and said: “The countermeasures they said are exaggerated.
Although today's gathering is a grand event in the literary world, it has nothing to do with Shishi. If Brother Ning is interested later, he can also show off his talents, but there is no need to worry about Shishi."
She only thought that Ning Yi was the nerd that he was back then, and it was always difficult for him to make achievements in such top literary societies. She didn't want him to have any burden. Of course, if he really wrote some poems later, she would be unavoidable.
I have to say a few words of praise.
Her voice was heard by the man surnamed Tang who was slightly behind. He turned around and said with a smile: "Hey, Master, this is wrong. We are not exaggerating. This literary meeting, you are the most beautiful woman in the capital."
Your reputation is at stake, and the face of us students in the capital is also at stake, so we still need countermeasures. This young master seems to be a local, and he knows much better than we do. Master, you can't deceive him."
This side of the courtyard is a pavilion located on the mountainside, with beautiful scenery and a wide view. While talking, the three people in the front have entered the pavilion, sat down in front of the round table, smiled and nodded, and took the conversation. One of them said: "That's right.
That's right, the party is a small matter, but face is a big deal. Even if Cao Guan and his gang take turns to fight this time, we can't lose the battle."
"The wind is rustling and the water is cold..."
"In short, if we face the heroes of Jiangning today, it will be a great story in the literary world tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter if the most powerful Ning Liheng comes, I'll take it now."
A few people were laughing and joking, but they also had a bit of open-minded celebrity style. While they were chatting and joking, Ning Yi and Shishi had already sat down. The man surnamed Tang who just started talking to Ning Yi estimated that this joke had temporarily eliminated the grudge, and said
: "By the way, I haven't introduced you yet, I'm Tang Weiyan."
Ning Yi nodded: "I have admired you for a long time..." Someone on the other side cupped his hands and said: "Xu Dongmo."
"Wen Yang below."
"In the next week, Bang Yan, this little brother is..."
The oldest and most famous among them is probably Zhou Bangyan. After he introduced himself and asked questions, the teacher next to him said: "This is..."
Ning Yi also cupped his hands: "Ning Liheng."
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Ning... let's go..."
The atmosphere was harmonious and everyone was laughing. Tang Weiyan was the first to continue speaking. Until this point, he was slightly stunned. The others also noticed something was wrong. After a few seconds, everyone's expressions became a little weird. You
Look at me and I look at you. Ning Yi also nodded and looked at them naturally. Sitting next to him, the girl named Shishi looked at her, her lips were slightly opened, and her eyes blinked a few times.
Blink a few more times.
For a moment, Ning Yi spread his hands helplessly. He also knew that this would be the case, but he had to introduce it...
