Chapter 1460 The Cultural Association of the Two Countries
The young masters outside looked at each other. They had all felt unbelievable before, but when they heard Fairy Ke said that she had a private conversation with that unknown boy, they were not so surprised anymore.
I just felt that it was a bit rude for Xianzi Ke to ask the people in the same room to avoid talking to others, but this was also one of the rare times when Xianzi Ke was rude. She was stunned for a moment, and then everyone left.
Lin Qingzhu and Ke Shuixiang were also among the expelled people. They walked together and asked each other about the relationship between the two people inside.
Xia Shang frowned slightly when he heard the chatter outside. When he saw Miss Ke turning around, he smiled awkwardly: "Girl, if this private message gets out, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of misunderstandings, right?"
"Since my daughter invited the young master alone, the misunderstanding has spread."
Ke Xiaofeng looked indifferent, calmly returned to her seat and sat down, and then took the initiative to explain: "Before that, I would like to explain something to the young master, which is about the rumors about the "Plum Blossom" and other poems by the young master."
This was what Xia Shang was curious about, so he calmed down and listened attentively.
Ke Xiaofeng explained to Xia Shang in detail what happened after the Liuzhuang Poetry Meeting.
Ke Xiaofeng circulated some of the poems she could remember, mainly because she did not want so many good poems to be dusted.
But the affairs of the Liuzhuang Poetry Club cannot be discussed, and we can only rely on immortals to entrust them with dreams. Unfortunately, no one in the world believes it, and all the literati in the world think it is Ke Xiaofeng's work.
Ke Xiaofeng didn't know in advance that things would turn out this way, but the words had already been spoken, so she could only make mistakes.
She explained this to Xia Shang because she didn't want Xia Shang to regard her as a villain who stole other people's works.
After listening to Ke Xiaofeng's words, Xia Shang finally understood why it was rumored outside that "Plum Blossom" was written by Ke Xianzi.
After Ke Xiaofeng explained the matter, she showed a lot of apologies on her face: "I'm really sorry, I used the master's masterpiece as a pretense, but it made my daughter's current reputation. If possible, I would be very willing to cooperate with the master to tell everyone the truth of the matter."
"That's not necessary. I don't care about the ownership of these poems. If the matter is made public, I'm afraid many people will start discussing the Liuzhuang Poetry Club again. The impact of this matter is not good, and I also want to tell the girl something.
The secret is, in fact, those poems were not written by me."
"Ah?!" When Ke Xiaofeng heard this, she suddenly
He opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous.
"At first, the girl suspected that the poems had different artistic conceptions and did not seem to be written by one person. She was actually right. It was indeed not written by one person, but in a dream..."
"Sir, stop making fun of my little girl..." Ke Xiaofeng blushed, knowing that the other party was going to use the fairy's talk of dreams to fool her, just like how she fooled other people. If this is not deliberate teasing, what else is it...
Xia Shang also said this casually. He hoped that someone would believe his statement, so that the great masters in memory could leave their mark on this era through the barrier of time, and let people of this era know better and better.
Literature, no matter how you think about it, is a very positive thing.
But seeing Ke Xiaofeng's reaction, Xia Shang knew that he was overthinking.
Just as others didn't believe her words, she also wouldn't believe what Xia Shang said now.
Xia Shang smiled awkwardly and gave up the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
Thinking that Xia Shang was deliberately making fun of him, Ke Xiaofeng lost a lot of his enthusiasm. After thinking about it, he changed the subject: "My daughter has inquired about the young master in many ways, but in the end she found nothing. I didn't expect that we would meet by chance at the Xiangyun Restaurant in the capital today.
It is a rare fate. In addition to explaining the misunderstanding about the poem when I invited you today, I actually have another important matter that I want to discuss with you."
"Big thing? What big thing?"
"I believe that the young master just heard about the cultural meeting between the two countries in three days."
Xia Shang nodded.
"The bachelor from Japan was provoking downstairs. The reason why my daughter kept silent was because she had already received the news. The Japanese mission was going to hold a banquet at the Affinity Pavilion and invite famous scholars from Dahua to attend. The cultural meeting between the two countries was
He held a competition between representatives of various factions. He said that he wanted to make friends through literature, but in fact he wanted to use the literary competition to suppress the Chinese literary world. The little girl was invited by the second prince to represent Dahua. That Zhang Liang deliberately provoked because he wanted to find out.
The little girl is fake and real. For the competition three days later, the little girl will naturally not expose herself."
"I see..." Xia Shang felt suddenly enlightened after hearing this, "It's just a poetry meeting, is winning or losing really that important?"
"Very important!" Ke Xiaofeng's expression became serious. "The battle between Dahua and the Japanese state was at a disadvantage, and the people were too afraid of the Japanese state. It can be said that the Japanese state has overwhelmed Dahua in terms of military force, and now it is preparing to win in literature.
We are suppressing them, and they are using the poems, lyrics, and songs that Dahua literati are best at as a test. If Dahua still falls behind, it will undoubtedly deprive us of our most proud support. What will the people think if the incident is spread?
Do you think that the huge Hua Dynasty is not only inferior to that small country in terms of military force, but also far behind in literary accomplishment? This matter concerns the people's hearts, and I should be extremely cautious."
Xia Shang thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case: "What the girl said is true, what the girl meant was for me..."
"That's right, with the young master's talent, after three days of fighting between the two countries, the literary conference will definitely win a game for Dahua. If nothing else, just talking about this poem, no one in the world can match it!" Ke Xiaofeng was very excited,
"At this critical moment, my daughter meets the young master, it must be God's arrangement! Please don't refuse, the young master."
Xia Shang did not plan to participate in any cultural gathering at first, but now that he saw that the matter concerned the hearts of the people of the world, he had no choice but to participate.
"It's okay to participate, but I can't guarantee how much help I can have. The girl's expectations are a bit too high. I'm afraid of letting down the girl's expectations."
"Don't worry, my little girl is just a spectator at this literary meeting. There are many literary talents representing Dahua. Because we don't know the specific situation yet, and we don't know how we will compete at that time, so as long as the young master agrees to participate, it will be fine.
In the future, my daughter will send someone to ask the young master to accompany me all the way."
A quarter of an hour later, Xia Shang left and returned to Lin Qingzhu.
Lin Qingzhu looked at Xia Shang with a strange expression.
Xia Shang asked curiously: "What do you mean by looking at me like this?"
"Sister Ke actually invited you to participate in the cultural conference between the two countries in three days and represent Dahua in the Japanese mission? Even I don't have the qualifications, but Sister Ke actually thinks highly of you? Who are you? What is your relationship with Sister Ke?
?”
"Miss Lin, you have been outside for a long time, so you were eavesdropping?"
Lin Qingzhu blushed: "This is a small matter. It is a big deal for you to represent Dahua. If you don't do it well, it will ruin the reputation of the world's literati! Are you good at it? Isn't this child's play?"
Seeing the girl looking down on him, Xia Shang frowned: "Do you still remember the poem by Mr. Ouyang and the Japanese scribe just now? I also have a poem related to the winter solstice. Miss Lin, please listen to it.
There is no way to see the beauty, and the cold quilt is inaccessible.
How can I spend the longest night sleeping alone?"
