Everyone had already gathered in the small courtyard yesterday. I heard that Mr. Ouyang was going to come out soon to host the selection event at Donglin Xiaoju.
Lin Qingzhu and Ke Xiaofeng looked at everyone in the small courtyard, but did not see Xia Shang.
Ke Xiaofeng was furious at the two young masters around her who were trying to get close to her, and pulled Lin Qingzhu to her side: "Go and see Mr. Xia, why haven't you come yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became lively, and someone shouted: "Mr. Ouyang is here!"
This time, Ke Xiaofeng became even more anxious: "Quick, go look for it."
Lin Qingzhu was also anxious, so she squeezed out of the crowd and went outside the small courtyard, and then went to the door of Xia Shang's house.
"Mr. Xia! Are you in there?"
Xia Shang's lazy voice came from inside: "Where are you? What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Everyone has arrived at the courtyard, why are you still sleeping?"
"What are you doing in the courtyard?"
"Of course I heard Mr. Ouyang talk about this cultural conference."
"Isn't it Miss Ke and that Mr. Mo who are in charge? Why did it become Mr. Ouyang?"
"When Mr. Ouyang comes, naturally I want Mr. Ouyang to take charge. Come out quickly."
"Oh, wait then."
Xia Shang was writing ink in the house for a long time, and finally came out.
Lin Qingzhu outside had already lost her patience, grabbed Xia Shang's hand and ran towards the small courtyard.
Returning to the small courtyard, the two of them could only stand on the outermost edge and watch.
Because it was too far away, I couldn't even hear what Mr. Ouyang was saying inside.
"It's all your fault!" Lin Qingzhu angrily threw Xia Shang's hand away and leaned against a corner of the courtyard to catch her breath.
"There's nothing important right now. Even if you can't hear what was said, I can just ask someone later."
"That's Mr. Ouyang of Nansheng! He hasn't appeared in public for twenty years."
"He's just an old gentleman, not a handsome guy or a beautiful girl. I don't know how excited you people are."
Lin Qingzhu said angrily: "You are so vulgar!"
At this time, a person squeezed out of the crowd and came to Lin Qingzhu: "Ms. Lin, it turns out you are here, I have found you."
"Master Mo..." Seeing this man, Lin Qingzhu's face flashed with light, and his depression suddenly disappeared.
Xia Shangwei
Seeing Lin Qingzhu's expression, she couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful about this man who suddenly appeared.
Lin Qingzhu calls him Mr. Mo, presumably the Mo Bai whom Ke Xiaofeng mentioned.
Mr. Mo was the first person to receive news of the cultural meeting between the two countries. Before Mr. Ouyang came, he was the one who contacted the literati in the capital to prepare for the establishment of a Chinese mission.
Moreover, even Ke Xiaofeng vaguely regarded him as the leader, which shows his status among the literati in the capital.
This man is slightly older than Xia Shang, but less than thirty. He is not as weak as ordinary literati. He has sharp edges and sharp eyes. He is more like a warrior, but his clothes are all the standards of literati.
A bit elegant, the combination of the two gives people a moderate sense of comfort. Even if it is Xia Shang, there will be no hostility at all when meeting this person. Just looking at this person feels quite friendly.
"Miss Lin, Fairy Ke asked me to come down and look for you."
Lin Qingzhu smiled sweetly: "I'm sorry to bother Mr. Mo."
"Ms. Lin, please follow me."
After Mo Bai finished speaking briefly, he walked directly outside the hospital.
"Master Mo, where are we going? You don't need to listen to Mr. Ouyang..."
Mo Bai turned around and smiled: "We don't have to listen to this anymore. Fairy Ke has already followed a few others to the front yard and living room. When Mr. Ouyang takes care of things, he will come over here. We will go over to discuss the cultural meeting first.
"
Before Lin Qingzhu could figure it out, Mo Bai had already walked out of the courtyard.
Lin Qingzhu quickly grabbed Xia Shang: "Why are you still standing there? Come with me!"
Mo Bai in front noticed Xia Shang and was a little curious as to why Lin Qingzhu would drag such a person along.
But when I first saw Xia Shang's appearance, I was quite surprised: "This young master is born handsome."
"He is Xia Chunqiu, the helper invited by Sister Ke."
"Fairy Ke invited a mysterious man. I've heard about it. It turns out he is such a handsome young man. Well, I can't say more here. Just follow me."
Moving to the front yard living room of Donglin Xiaoju, it was not as lively as the small courtyard, with seven or eight people sitting here and there.
In addition to Ke Xiaofeng, the two brothers Bai Song and Baigui were also there, as well as another girl and four young men. Among these four young men, one of them was even more unexpected, it was Li Zijin.
As soon as Xia Shang entered the door, Li Zijin saw him.
But the little prince sat firmly on the throne and did not move at all.
, as if he didn’t know Xia Shang.
This kid has a somewhat mature mind and knows that the relationship between him and Xia Shang cannot be brought to light. At this time, it is safest to pretend not to know each other.
Lin Qingzhu saw a few people sitting here and was a little confused: "Mr. Mo, what on earth is going on?"
Mo Bai smiled faintly: "The news that Mr. Ouyang came to Donglin Xiaoju has spread to the capital, so many people came here early in the morning. The people there have various connections, so it's not easy to stop them all the time.
Let them come in. Mr. Ouyang just dismissed them casually and came over. This article meeting is a matter for our young people. Mr. Ouyang can't help much even if he comes. How do the five people representing Dahua form?
It’s up to the few of us here to decide.”
Mo Bai said, leading Xia Shang and Lin Qingzhu inside, and then introduced to everyone: "Miss Lin, who has no need to introduce poetry, needs no introduction. This is Mr. Xia Chunqiu and Xia, the mysterious man introduced by Ke Xianzi
people."
"Xia Chunqiu...it's a very unique name." A girl closest to me praised in a low voice.
Mo Bai came to the girl and said: "This is a music-picking girl who is proficient in the piano art. A fairy tune can make the birds on the branches dance at the sound. She is the best in the capital."
The girl who picked up the sound stood up and bowed Yingying: "It's all false rumors from the outside world, just to make Mr. Xia laugh. I don't know what kind of unique skills this Mr. Xia has, so that the high-minded Fairy Ke can take the initiative to invite her. It's not because she is born like a flower.
It’s so beautiful that Fairy Ke even moved her heart... cluck..."
"Miss Xianyin, this is not the time to joke." Mo Bai smiled faintly and continued to introduce, "This is Bai Songbai to the two young masters."
"I met him yesterday," Xia Shang explained.
The Bai brothers stood up and bowed their hands to Xia Shang in a nonchalant manner.
"This is Young Master Chang Xin. He is a rare all-rounder in the world. He is proficient in poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"Mr. Chang."
"Mr. Xia."
"This is Mr. Ji Fuyuan. He has an extraordinary memory. It is said that he has a photographic memory, and his calligraphy and painting skills are of his own."
"This is Young Master Yang Shang, a master of chess and one of the great Chinese players."
"The remaining one is Prince Cheng Li Zijin, who has been appointed by the imperial court to become one of the representatives of the Dahua Mission."
Li Zijin stood up calmly, bowed his hands to Xia Shang, and then sat down, looking a little arrogant.
