In a moment, in the four-corner pavilion, a table, wine, delicacies, and the necessary pens, inks, paper, and inkstones for the poetry meeting were set up.
Of course, a warm charcoal basin is indispensable.
Although the incident happened in a hurry, Xia Hong was extremely capable, and there was no shortage of manpower and supplies in the mansion, so he could make arrangements in an instant.
"My lord, it's a bit hasty, don't you think so?" Xia Hong laughed along with him.
"Very good." Xia Yu was very satisfied. Although the pavilion was not big and a little crowded, there were not many people, so it would be more lively if crowded.
Xia Hong breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if he didn't handle it well, he would lose the face of the government.
He was very happy to be sent by the Yin Mansion to the Fufeng County Duke's Mansion as a housekeeper. After all, who didn't know that Xia Yu had a bright future.
Moreover, isn't it better to stand alone in the Fufeng County Duke's Mansion than to rely on others' twang in the Yin Mansion!?
"My lord, the little man has gone to work. The Yinping girl and several maids have been left in the pavilion to wait on you. If you need anything, please tell me."
"Alright, go ahead."
Xia Yu nodded and saw that the wind and snow in the courtyard were getting heavier and the ground was turning silvery white again. He quickly called Ling Jing and Su Dingfang to wait in the pavilion.
As for Li Daoxuan and the other three, they naturally went to the gate of the mansion to greet the beautiful lady.
After a while, footsteps, chatter and laughter could be heard outside the courtyard gate, and Xia Yu knew that the three rightful masters had arrived.
His Fufeng County Duke's Mansion is very close to Pingkangfang, not even two miles away. If you take a carriage, it won't even take you a quarter of an hour.
"Hey, there are three women in one show, it's going to be lively today." Ling Jing looked at Xia Yu teasingly, burdened by his fame, but also troubled.
Xia Yu was speechless, stood up and said angrily: "It is not a gentleman to take pleasure in others' misfortunes! Set the recipe, go, and follow the master to welcome the guests."
"is teacher."
Su Dingfang didn't dare to laugh. Being disrespectful to his teacher was a serious mistake.
"So and so is going too."
Ling Jing also stood up quickly. There were few literati who were not bored. He also wanted to see the splendor of the various people in Chang'an as soon as possible.
As soon as the three people got off the pavilion, they saw a group of people pouring into the courtyard and walking into the blooming plum grove.
And the stars holding the moon are three beauties who can be said to be the beauty of the country!
The one on the left is wearing a silver-white fox fur coat, with a delicate face and slim figure. In the wind and snow, he looks more beautiful and heart-stopping.
The one in the middle is wearing a flaming red fox fur, with a delicate face and charming eyes. She is a beauty that makes your blood flow faster.
The one on the right, dressed in blue and wearing a crane cloak, has an erect figure, is beautiful and generous, and exudes intellectual beauty that is rare in this era.
As expected of the famous prostitutes of the Tang Dynasty, they were all goddess-level beauties who turned all living beings upside down!
Xia Yu was amazed in her heart. He was not a monk who did not eat fireworks from the world. Naturally, it was very pleasing to the eye, and he had a little bit of a spring in his heart.
Chai Shao, who had long sleeves and was good at dancing, saw Xia Yu greeting him. He quickly stepped forward with a smile and introduced: "To everyone, this handsome young man is the unparalleled genius of the Tang Dynasty, the military advisor of Emperor Wen Zong Xia Yuxia."
"Your Majesty, thank you. Yu has met all three of you." Xia Yu smiled warmly and raised her hand in greeting.
The three beauties looked at each other furtively and saw that the young man in front of them was handsome and gentle as jade, with eyes full of wisdom and peace.
Although short hair is a bit weird, it also has a different kind of spirit and freedom.
Such appearance and temperament were in line with the three women's vision of being an unparalleled talent and a master of the world. For a moment, they were filled with admiration.
"My concubine is Su Xiaoxiao (Xie Ah Man) (Xue Tao), I have met your father-in-law." The three beauties blushed and hurriedly returned the gift.
Changsun Wuji looked left and right, and suddenly smiled and said: "This is truly an unparalleled young master, and the people on the road are like jade. Do you think so?"
Chai Shao and Li Daoxuan were convinced for a while.
Although both of them are sons of aristocratic families and have extraordinary prowess, they both lack Xia Yu's unique temperament and wisdom that are completely different from other people in the world.
"Thank you for your compliments. It's windy and snowy outside. Please take a seat in the pavilion."
Xia Yu greeted them cheerfully. Although he looked calm and relaxed, he was still a little nervous when facing three goddess-level beauties.
Immediately, a group of people showed humility to each other and entered the pavilion.
Chai Shao entered the pavilion, looked around, and said with satisfaction: "The military advisor has done a good job. Your Majesty seems to be quite willing to do it."
"Haha, the emperor's kindness is so great, I'm ashamed! I'm ashamed! Everyone, please take a seat."
Xia Yu invited everyone to sit down, introduced Su Dingfang and Ling Jing to the three beauties, and then hurriedly hurriedly poured wine from the maid.
It was well past noon, so everyone was probably hungry, let alone him.
"Come," Xia Yu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "You are the first distinguished guests in my house to have a banquet. You are very lucky. Please drink this glass to the full."
"Cai! It's done."
Everyone suddenly felt very respectable and responded one after another. People in the Tang Dynasty loved wine, and the alcohol content was not high. In an instant, even the three beauties drank it all in one gulp.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were lively, lively and cute, and she said first, "I heard that my father-in-law dedicated a poem to the emperor two days ago. I asked someone to find the whole poem. When I read it, I felt the wind of generosity and heroism rushing over me.
Come."
"Young Master is worthy of being recognized by the world as a literary master of his generation. Every poem he makes makes people admire him and leave him in awe."
"My concubine has also been found. I feel that among poems, in terms of generosity and heroism, this one should be the best in the ages!"
Xue Tao smiled slightly, with wisdom in his knowledge: "My father, in this chapter, he can swallow thousands of miles like a tiger. He must be a great hero and have a big mind."
The three of them originally tried their best to invite Xia Yu alone, but they crashed into a car and no one succeeded.
If this is the case, then we have to compete.
You know, the three of them are all one of the top ten famous prostitutes in Chang'an. They usually like to compete with each other, but now they can't admit defeat.
Today's poetry meeting will definitely shock the world. If we are compared, our reputation will be greatly damaged.
At that moment, no matter how stupid Chai Shao and the other men were, they still smelled the strong smell of gunpowder and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: It's not ambiguous for this woman to fight!
Xia Yu laughed loudly and hurriedly said to Xi Ni: "Thank you to all three of you for the award. It was purely a work done in response to the occasion. It should not be praised so highly."
"By the way, people say that everyone in the Tang Dynasty loves poetry. Today we are full of friends and beautiful ladies, how about each of us reciting a poem to cheer up the wine?"
"good."
There was almost a roar of applause in the venue. Obviously, everyone wanted to show off their skills.
Li Daoxuan, however, hurriedly begged for mercy and said: "Well, I'll be spared. I'm just a martial artist. I can wield swords and guns, but it's really difficult to write poetry."
He has been out of character since he was a child and can't read books. Asking him to write poetry is indeed a strongman's way of locking down men.
Su Dingfang also said hurriedly: "Dear distinguished guests Haihan, Xiaoke learned military strategy from his teacher. This poem and prose are really shameful."
He was born into a poor family, and he was hit by war when he was young, which delayed his studies. He can only say that he has no problem with literacy, but he probably has no problem writing poetry.
"It's okay. It's okay." Changsun Wuji laughed loudly: "You two don't need to be embarrassed. Anyway, with the current military strategy, we and I are just making up the numbers. We are not much better."
"Of course." The crowd burst into laughter.
Apart from Li Daoxuan and Su Dingfang, the other three beauties present were all well-read and well-versed in literature.
Anyone else might not be convinced, but facing Xia Yu, no one dared to say they could compete.
"Where. Where." Xia Yu hurriedly said modestly, "Come on, come on, you're welcome, please wait while you eat. Who's coming first?"
Changsun Wuji always liked to show off, so he immediately jumped out and said: "Someone comes first."
"Shan. Someone is here to write."
Ling Jing also regained his energy. He had been depressed for a long time since the defeat in Hulao, but now he gradually let go and became the high-spirited wise man again.
"Today, with the snow scene and the plum garden in full bloom, how about using this as the title?" Changsun Wuji suggested.
"Can."
This is also a common topic in poetry gatherings, and everyone thinks it’s okay.
Immediately, Changsun Wuji picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Then he closed his eyes and began to ponder. Everyone was not in a hurry and ate and waited.
You must know that writing poetry is not like eating. It requires repeated consideration and careful consideration.
Especially composing poems on the spot requires quick wits. Many famous poets and lyricists are not good at improvising on the spot.
A quarter of an hour later, Changsun Wuji opened his eyes, slammed the table, and said proudly: "I have it! Everyone, please listen to someone's chant."
"Under the cold plum blossoms, there is a distant smoke scene. There is no drunken man in the pavilion. Who is staying with you?"
"Cai. Respect the elder Sun Gong."
Everyone cheered. Although this poem was not a good one, it was considered a mid-level poem written in a hurry, and at least it did not lose face.
Passed! Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and raised his glass in response: "Everyone, it's your turn."
Immediately, Chai Shao and Ling Jing followed, and the three beauties came to the rear. Each of them also composed a poem. Everyone was drinking and tasting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
As a translator who is familiar with hundreds of Tang poems and Song lyrics, Xia Yu's critical ability is unique in the world.
Among the six, Ling Jing was the most talented in literature, and he was worthy of being the best counselor and literary daring in the Xia Kingdom!
But among the three beauties, Xue Tao is the leader in terms of poetic talent.
Listening to the comments of three old perverts, Changsun Wuji, Chai Shao, and Li Daoxuan, Xue Tao is indeed one of the top ten famous prostitutes in Chang'an, and is good at poetry and calligraphy.
