When Li Yun heard this, he was stunned and said: "So there is such a good thing, how come I didn't know about it?"
Yang Weizhong said with a smile: "Master Li, I see that your face looks a little bad. I think it's because you exerted too much force just now. Why don't you go back and adjust your breathing first. I will ask President Shi to send Xuanshi there for you, and we will meet again in the evening."
How about having a banquet at Tingchao Terrace to celebrate?"
"Thank you, dean! Thank you, president!" Li Yun resigned and returned to his courtyard.
…
Delicious delicacies, mingling with each other, and the sound of silk...
What a feast, what a paradise on earth!
This is the top floor of the tide listening platform mentioned by Yang Weizhong.
Tingchao Terrace is the tallest building in the south of Tingchao City. It rises more than 100 feet from the ground. There are stairs going up in all directions. It is magnificent. The top floor building is luxurious and elegant, with carved railings and jade masonry, flying eaves and walking walls. It is the best workmanship in the world.
Looking out from here, the Chaojiang River is surrounded by water, and there are small islands in the river that divide the river.
By leaning on the railing on the platform, you can not only overlook the boundless sea in the distance, but also overlook the bustling scene along the southern coast of Tingchao City.
The sea breeze blows gently, bringing with it the sound of waves crashing on the shore, which makes people forget to leave.
Li Yun sat next to Yang Weizhong, enjoying delicious food and listening to music with everyone, and had endless fun.
Also present at the banquet were Du Qingshu, Shi Yun, Chen Sichun, and Li Ruoyu.
Li Ruoyu was brought here by Li Yun, and Chen Sichun was Li Ruoyu's close friend. After hearing about such a good thing, she naturally had to follow her no matter what. What's more, this listening platform is one of her Chen family's properties. As the host,
, she felt it was unshirkable responsibility.
As soon as Li Yun saw her, he felt a little guilty. The scene of that night appeared in his mind, but he didn't dare to look directly at her.
Chen Sichun's face was as red as clouds, and his eyes were full of peach blossoms, and he glanced at Li Yun from time to time.
After drinking for a few rounds, Du Qingshu said: "Tingchao City has been said to have a phoenix since ancient times. Now that the Chen family's Tingchao Terrace is so grand, I'm afraid it will really attract the phoenix here too!"
"Haha! Mr. Du's words really resonate with me!"
There was a loud laugh, and a tall and powerful man with a beard walked in from outside. It was Chen Gangba, the head of the Chen family.
When everyone saw him arriving, they immediately stood up and bowed to say hello.
"Every distinguished guest is here. I am your host. Please drink to your heart's content and never return until you are drunk!" Chen Gangba said boldly.
As the leader of the Chen family in Tingchao City, he has a certain magnanimity. And when he heard that Yang Weizhong, the dean of Tingchao College, was coming, how could such a heavyweight not come to meet him?
"Thank you, Brother Chen! This Tingchao Terrace is so ingenious that it is a landmark in the south of Tingchao City. I don't know how Brother Chen built it. It really makes us admire it." Du Qingshu said.
"Brother Du doesn't know that the construction of this tide-listening platform was also a coincidence. Many years ago, I got an old drawing from Xirong. After asking a capable person to inquire, I learned that it turned out to be an architectural sample of the terrace. What is depicted in the sample is
The completion effect is really impressive, so I organized a lot of manpower and material resources and spent nearly five years before it was completed last year."
"That's it. I heard that there are many skilled craftsmen in Xirong, but I didn't expect that Brother Chen would actually benefit from them." Du Qingshu nodded.
"Luck, luck!" Chen Gangba said proudly.
Shi Yun, who was standing next to him, picked up his wine glass and said loudly: "Fortunately, I heard that Chaocheng has a man as big and bold as Brother Chen, so it is possible to turn a drawing into a real and amazing building. Come on, Brother Chen, let me
Here’s to you!”
Shi Yun drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay! Brother Shi has a huge amount, I respect everyone, do it!" Chen Gangba also drank it all in one gulp.
Du Qingshu also had a drink with Chen Gangba and said, "With such beautiful scenery, such a high platform, and such good wine, how can there be no good poetry?!"
"Not bad! How about asking Mr. Du Da to inscribe a poem on my Tingchao Terrace? I will definitely engrave it here so that everyone who comes can see it!" Chen Gangba said excitedly.
"You... when it comes to writing poetry, there is a great poet on the scene. If you don't invite him, what do you ask me to do instead?" Du Qingshu said loudly.
"Ah... you see, my head gets confused when I drink! Mr. Li, today is the perfect meeting, how about you write a poem for me?" Chen Gangba turned to Li Yun and asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Li, you can compose a poem for my father, Tingchaotai!" Chen Sichun's eyes were shining, he took the opportunity to move forward, took Li Yun's hand and said with a sweet smile.
Chen Gangba was stunned for a moment, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he quickly came back to his senses and laughed loudly: "Xiaochun, hurry up and prepare silk, pen and ink for Mr. Li. If you are late, you will be punished with wine!"
"You! Huh, just go!" Chen Sichun walked out angrily.
"Seniors here, how dare you write a poem casually? Let's ask one of our seniors to do it!" Li Yun said quickly.
"Master Li, please stop being modest. With you here, who else dares to say that he can write poetry?" Yang Weizhong said immediately.
"That's right, that's right. Only the name of your poem is worthy of Brother Chen's listening to the tide. When the poem's name and the name of the station complement each other, it will be a beautiful thing!" Du Qingshu agreed.
Shi Yun and Chen Gangba didn't say a word, and immediately started to make room for others. After Chen Sichun brought the four treasures of the study, they immediately arranged it and waited quietly for Li Yun to write poems.
Seeing this momentum, Li Yun didn't even have the chance to refuse, so he had no choice but to nod, quickly searching for poetry in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, I found a poem that suited the occasion, so I picked up the brush, filled it with ink, and began to write.
Listen to the tide
Listen to the tide and swim on the platform. When the tide goes off the platform, the river flows silently.
The flowers and plants of the Forbidden City are buried in the secluded paths, and the clothes of past dynasties have become ancient mounds.
Beyond the three mountains and the blue sky, a body of water divides the Bailu Island.
The floating clouds can always cover the sun, and the absence of the emperor makes people sad.
"What a poem, what a poem! This poem is not only so neat, but also uses scenes to express emotions, running through ancient and modern times. I guess it must be to express the depression of my father who was demoted from the imperial capital. It is really a shocking work!"
Du Qingshu's eyes were fixed on the poems and he kept praising them.
"Oh my god, none of Mr. Li's poems is a masterpiece. Every poem is so shocking! Every poem is so wonderful!" Yang Weizhong sighed.
Although Chen Gangba and Shi Yun did not study poetry that deeply, from the words of these two great scholars from Chaocheng, they could naturally tell that this was a uniquely good poem, and they couldn't help but applaud.
Chen Sichun and Li Ruoyu were naturally stunned. They fell into a state of obsession while reciting this poem without knowing it.
Li Yun sighed secretly: "If this is really my own creation, then I am really as powerful as they say!"
"Brother Chen, you'd better have this poem engraved on a stone tablet and placed on this platform for people to appreciate. I'm afraid this poem will bring the reputation of this platform in the future." Du Qingshu
sighed.
"Definitely, definitely! It is an honor for us to receive such a good poem from Mr. Li! Come here, please remove this banquet and hold a new banquet. I must thank Mr. Li profusely!" Chen Gangba said loudly.
