Xue Huan
Chapter 57
In the blink of an eye, the seventh day of November was the day when Li Xun Huan and Zhan Ao competed.
The city of Shanxi was really lively that day.Not only the magistrate came to watch, but also many celebrities, rich men and scholars, some of them had close relationship with the Zhan family.Of course, there are many people who join in the fun!
On the same day, the Zhan family rented out the entire Menghua Building, as well as the Huaying Pavilion. The two buildings stood facing each other, and a stage was set up between the buildings, and some actors were invited to sing on the stage.The invited arbitration old Hanlin was drinking tea on the second floor, the magistrate was also there, and Mr. Zhan was beside him, his face was full of joy, and he wanted to say that what was held today was not a hard-to-win competition, but his son's wedding .
When Li Xunhuan and Ximen Chuuxue arrived, looking at the scene in front of him, Li Xunhuan twitched his lips helplessly:
"Master Zhan is really willing."
"That's his precious son, why would he be reluctant?" Zhan Xiang muttered sourly, "It's a pity he's going to lose face today." Thinking about it makes him feel happy.
Li Xun Huan rubbed his head, smiled and said:
"That's his precious son, you are our precious brother, there is nothing better than that."
Zhan Xiang blushed, but didn't say anything, he had something that Zhan Ao couldn't match in his lifetime.
"I announce! The competition begins! First is Wen Dou, the first match, Dou Wen." When the gong rang, the person invited to host let out a howl, and the long-awaited competition finally began.
On the second floor, Elder Lin held a teacup to look at Master Zhan, he said:
"Master Zhan has heard that he is very talented. He shouldn't have any problems dealing with someone he has never heard of before this time. Don't worry, Mr. Zhan."
Father Zhan couldn't close his mouth when he laughed, but he still said humbly:
"A dog is not talented, how dare he be worthy of Master Lin's praise. Master Lin is a talented person. The name of the poem is spread all over the world. If the dog can be half as good as Master Lin, it is enough." But I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, this is Hanlin The elders of the courtyard said it himself, and I don't know how long it is to spread the word!The next time his son takes part in the imperial examination, he may win the first prize in one fell swoop, and he is not sure whether he is the number one scholar or the second place!Thinking of this, the wrinkles on his face were almost crowded into a pile.
"Master Zhan is too modest, is there anyone in Shanxi who hasn't heard of Mr. Zhan's name?" the magistrate also said.For the bills he sent every month, he was very willing to say a few words of appreciation.
"Oh, the magistrate is really flattering, the dog is flattered! The magistrate is tired of working for the people every day, and he even takes time out of his busy schedule to participate in the dog competition. The grassroots are grateful and terrified!"
The three complimented each other one sentence at a time, and suddenly a man who looked like a guard entered the box, whispered a few words in Lin Hanlin's ear, and saw old man Lin's complexion changed drastically, Huo stood up and hit the table My teacup doesn't know it yet.The muscles on his face trembled a little. Looking at the guard with a cold face in front of him, he just wanted to bend down, but he stopped him with a cold look.Pulling out a smile, he apologized to the surprised two people beside him:
"I have something very important right now, I'm afraid I'm going to miss you for a while, please wait a moment." After saying that, before the two of them could respond, they hurriedly followed the guards away.
Mr. Zhan felt a little uneasy, didn't something happen?
After a while, the magistrate was also called away in the same way, and now Dad Zhan was really restless.
In fact, Mr. Lin did not encounter any terrible things. The guard came in and whispered in his ear: I am the guard next to your majesty, and your majesty is waiting for you upstairs.
He tremblingly followed up the stairs, and stopped in front of a delicately carved mahogany door. Before he heard anything, he fell to his knees with a slap, his whole body trembling like chaff.Ye Gucheng had something to do with Ye Gucheng when he returned home so early. It wasn't because Ye Gucheng was so cruel since he came to the throne. It was a resolute and iron-blooded cold look, which made him feel terrified.This time, he did something bad, so he knelt down without hearing any orders.
"Old old old... Your majesty." He trembled.
Guard: "...Your Majesty told you to go in and answer."
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
He stood up tremblingly, pushed open the door and entered with trembling legs.
The scene he saw when he entered made him dumbfounded.His wise and cold-hearted Majesty was peeling a grape and handing it to the man in purple beside him. Looking at a small pile of grape skins on the table, it seemed that the work had been going on for quite a while.Seeing his surprised appearance, the man smiled viciously, opened his mouth to hold the peeled grape, and directed Ye Gucheng to continue with his eyes.Ye Gucheng didn't think it was disobedient, and he really continued, and it seemed that he still had some interest.
Old man Lin kept trembling in his heart. If it wasn't for his lack of courage, he would probably subconsciously point at Zhuo Donglai with a trembling finger, and say, "Monster!"Confused Lord!But Zhuo Donglai gave a fluttering look, and he felt his kneecaps began to weaken again.
"Old Lin, I heard that Mr. Zhan paid you several good visits a while ago." Ye Gucheng didn't speak, it was Zhuo Donglai who spoke, and old man Lin said in his heart: It really is an evildoer, and his voice is soft and pleasant.After thinking about it, I am already old, so I am looking for death if I take care of His Majesty's family affairs!How could an old bone deal with this level of disaster?Hearing this person mention this, his heart trembled, how did he know?
"Old minister... oh no, I don't have any friendship with Mr. Zhan." The latter words were silenced by the unusually understanding eyes of the two in front of them.
"You are the old Hanlin. Donglai and I are also watching this competition. I hope you don't do anything that would embarrass the court." Ye Gucheng's cold voice sounded, making old man Lin shiver, and said repeatedly:
"Never fail His Majesty's expectations!"
The two smiled in satisfaction, Ye Gucheng said: "Go down."
Old man Lin was greatly stimulated. He could not do what he promised to do for the Zhan family. He only hoped that Mr. Zhan was as talented as his father said, otherwise...
"The first match, essays! Both sides have a question and ask each other to write an essay based on it. There is a time limit and a stick of incense. Let's start now!"
"There's still a time limit?" Zhan Ao's mother was a little uneasy, looked at her frowning son beside her, and comforted her with a smile: "The time limit is the time limit, that Li Xunhuan is just a rough man, it's impossible to compare with yours !"
Zhan Ao nodded, he couldn't deny it, not to mention how he, a man from the rivers and lakes, was better than himself who had read sage books for more than ten years, and he had already taken care of everything, so what could be wrong?It's just that he's upset that...
"Young Master, those old seniors..." He smiled shyly and asked again.
"I have sent a message ordering them to come over, isn't Wu Dou behind, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Standing up straight, he cupped his hands to the talented young man who was invited beside him, "I'm not talented, so I'll go first this time, if things don't work later, I'll have to rely on you all."
Everyone cursed in their hearts: Return the younger brother!He looks like a stiff melon and old jujube, so he has the nerve to call him a younger brother.On the face but said with a smile:
"Where is there, the Eldest Young Master has a brilliant literary talent, and I am only here for a personal occasion, so what is the use of it?"
Zhan Ao smiled satisfied, it was very useful, he didn't say anything more, and ordered A Chao to tell the audience his problem.
Li Xunhuan here:
"Brother, what question do you want to ask?" Zhan Xiaoxiang asked impatiently as soon as the audience finished speaking.
Li Xunhuan took the teacup from Ximen Chuuxue leisurely, and replied with a smile:
"What questions does Xiaoxiang want me to ask?"
"It's better to kill him hard!" Zhan Xiaoxiang looked excited.
"What good ideas do you have?" Li Xun Huan laughed.
A Fei shook his head, he was not good at writing poems or lyrics.
"We are not as good as you in literary talent, you can make your own decision. But Xun Huan, you have to promise me that we will go up first in the martial arts later, and you are not allowed to go down easily. Zhuo Dong said that Zhan Ao asked for help." Ximen Chuuxue said again Passed a peeled pipa to Li Xun Huan and said to Li Xun Huan calmly.
Can't go down easily?How can I have a chance if you go down?Li Xunhuan pouted.
He didn't answer, thought for a while, raised the corners of his lips, and sighed:
"I don't know how to ask questions that are too tricky. Why don't you ask him to fill in the title 'Die Lian Hua'."
Zhan Xiang blinked in confusion, poetry is very popular here, lyrics and music have just started, no wonder some people don't know about it.
"This is the name of the first lyrics, and it can be sung with poems and tunes." A Fei explained.
"Is the eldest brother going to sing?"
Li Xun Huan shook his head with a smile, "You can ask others to sing."
Zhan Xiang nodded and smiled complacently, Zhan Ao must be helpless!
Not long after, the host off-site reported loudly: "Mr. Zhan proposed a topic: a poem based on the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and Mr. Li Xunhuan provided a topic: a poem with lyrics, Ci Pai, Die Lian Hua. The time limit is one stick Incense, light up the incense!"
Zhan Ao was a little dumbfounded for a moment, Die Lianhua?
"Eldest son? This is the name of the Cipai. The tune is just not good enough. You just need to add poems."
Zhan Ao came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said:
"How could I not know, I just didn't expect that Li Xun Huan has some knowledge."
the other side:
"Spring, summer, autumn and winter? Cut, vulgar!" Zhan Xiang couldn't wait to run to his elder brother to reveal Zhan Ao's black history, "Brother, you don't know that when he was 13 years old, he wrote several poems with this title His parents almost didn't regard him as a child prodigy!" At that time, when he heard the poem written by Zhan Ao, he just laughed, but he was punished...
A Fei frowned, this guy moved closer to his elder brother and pulled his sleeve, Zhan Xiaoxiang couldn't stand still and fell into A Fei's arms, just about to yell: What are you doing!But I heard Ah Fei say:
"Don't worry, big brother will help you vent your anger. Stay here obediently." He rubbed the top of his hair as he spoke.
I don't know if it's because A Fei's body temperature is too high or what, when Zhan Xiaoxiang heard this, he really didn't continue to fuss, blushed in embarrassment, and didn't speak.
Li Xunhuan and Ximen Chuuxue looked at each other and smiled, Ximen Chuuxue silently said hello to A Fei, then took Li Xunhuan's palm and took him to a small room with all the four treasures of the study.Li Xunhuan is not surprised, he can build a big house here in such a short period of time, what else can Ximen Chuuxue not do?
After the incense burnt, the poems completed by both parties were sent to Mr. Lin.Old man Lin had just been beaten, so he didn't dare to cheat at all, so he read the two poem manuscripts with all his energy.
What a poem!good poem!The chapters and sentences are meaningful, the meaning and rhyme are harmonious, and this handwriting is handsome and unrestrained, with well-proportioned flesh and bones, so strong, so bold!Old Lin tsk tsk, I really want to meet the talented man who wrote such a poem, and see if there is a man who is as romantic and refined as it... Everyone has a love of talent, and old man Lin has been obsessed with poetry for so many years. No exceptions.He had a deep feeling in his heart that there were probably very few talented poets he had ever met who could beat this person, and the results of this competition probably already counted.
But there are no absolutes, perhaps Mr. Zhan could be even more unexpected?Even though he knew that the possibility was unlikely, Elder Lin was still looking forward to the exhibition of Zhang Ao's work...just...the corner of his mouth froze: What is this?
It took only two cups of tea for old man Lin to taste the poem, but he didn't keep everyone waiting too long.I saw two teenagers who looked like book boys holding two large scrolls of banners, the host nodded, the two climbed to a high place and shook their hands, and spread out with a clatter.
Seeing this action, Zhan Ao's face froze. He imagined that it was only Mr. Lin who stood up and announced the result of his victory, and then praised him a bit, and then he could win the glory. He pretended to be humble, and his talent was famous It can spread again.It's just that the scene now is far different from what he imagined...
He hurriedly stood up and looked in Elder Lin's direction, the panic on his face didn't stop at all!It's just that it's too late now!
"The one on the left is Mr. Li Xunhuan's poems, and the one on the right is Mr. Zhan Ao Zhan's works. Let Mr. Lin comment on them in public."
Everyone looked at the field with their eyes wide open. This was specially for people to copy and magnify, so everyone present could see clearly.
Li Xunhuan wrote:
Spring Return: One season of Chang'an Zhu Zigui, the city is full of spring clothes and emerald.
From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the silk clothes and brocades must return.
Xia You: The garden is full of Yu Fei, and the radish is in the dusk, and the village of Huangbai Zhizi is full of smoke.
It's just that the warbler hides the green willow and the yellow, and the kite flies to the old flower village in the evening.
Qiu Si: Chutian Kuoyan holds a red maple, a pot of warm and dark love in the world of mortals.
After ten years of tears and tears among Shengxiao guests, who remembers the sun and the moon in other lands?
Dongsai: Horseshoe dust and snow curl up in the wild smoke, and the shepherds on the Guyang Ancient Road move.
The yellow sand in the northern part of the country is bright and dark, and the cold autumn and winter stop Geyuan.
Butterfly Love Flower: Leaves contain dense dew and branches are broken and bitter.The mist is misty and the smoke is green, and the morning breeze is like a waist dance.The jade flute of Yigong Cique blares.
Life is sour and painful.I plan to spit out my chest.Full of bitter wine, green willow stuffed with yellow bran.
Shengge has exhausted the road of youth.It's a custom inside and outside the building.
Zhan Ao's hand holding the cup was blue and white, just like his complexion.The literati next to him looked at the chapters and sentences off the stage, and read them word by word, applauding one by one:
"Great talent! There are such poems in such a short period of time, even eight fights are not enough to accommodate his talent!"
Zhan Ao's face was even more ugly, and he was vaguely ferocious.Because almost everyone has only one reaction when they read his works: Pfft!
Li Xun Huan didn't mention other people, even Ximen Chuuxue's indifferent expression was a bit weird.
Zhan Ao's Spring: The sun is shining in spring, and my cattle are grazing.
My family doesn't eat chicken, only cattle are full.
………….
Xia: In summer, the sun is high and my cattle eat grass.
The chickens are still not eaten, and the cattle are full.
…………
Autumn: In autumn, the sky is high, and cows graze under the trees.
The chicken does not eat with the cow, so the cow is full.
…………
Winter: The sun is not good in winter, and the cattle do not eat grass.
But the chickens are not eaten, and the chickens and cows are dead!
…………
Die Lian Hua: Die Lian Hua comes to Hua Lian Die.Love butterflies chasing flowers, bees and butterflies among flowers.Both bees and butterflies love flowers.
My ambition is but one.One is that the flowers in the world should meet the butterflies, and the butterflies are in love, so that they can live up to their youth!
The most wonderful love in my life.Butterflies bloom every day.
Everyone laughed, and Zhan Xiang even slapped the table with laughter.
"Hahaha...ha, it's just these few songs again...I know it! Haha...his talents are all because of his father's stuffing a lot of money...haha. "
"Be careful to get angry." A Fei said helplessly, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and it seemed that he was about to fail.
Li Xun Huan also laughed, but just now he accidentally choked, coughed and laughed, and fell into Ximen Chuuxue's arms.Ximen Chuixue's eyes glowed with a smile, and he patted the person in his arms lightly. Some people threw themselves into their arms, and if they didn't hug them, it would be in vain.
"Ahem...haha...Ximen, I have seen it today...haha...cough..."
Someone shouted loudly:
"Well written, show off your talents. It's just that my cows refuse to eat grass. What can you do?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter again.
Someone else yelled:
"Young Master Zhan, I'm a beekeeper. Now it seems that I need to raise some butterflies to bloom well!"
"This is the talented young master of the Zhan Family... Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter..."
"Daddy, I can do this too." A seven or eight-year-old boy
"Little Huzi, you will too?"
"En! Spring is: when the sun is shining in spring, the cattle and sheep are sleeping. When they are full, they will eat grass, and the cattle, sheep and people will be full!"
"Oh, my dear son, what a talent!"
"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha..."
"Good poetry, good poetry! Little Huzi, you can go to the scholar examination!"
In Zhan Ao Building, his mother worried:
"Hey, isn't this a doggerel you wrote when you were six or seven years old? Why are you still lazy now? You don't underestimate the enemy." His mother even made excuses for him.
"What mother said is that the child underestimates the enemy. To tell you the truth, I feel a little unwell today, and my level is abnormal. It really depends on everyone." His complexion is sallow, and he doesn't look well.
Everyone was terrified. Originally, it was just to deal with a rough man with no education. Now it seems that they have been cheated.You're not feeling well today. Didn't you feel fine just now?We can't afford to lose face if you want to lie to us!
They all declined and said: "Don't dare, we are really here to join the personal field today. Only the eldest son is capable of such an important task, and we are hard to come by."
Zhan Ao's eyes turned cold, and he said sharply:
"Let you go down and go down. Do you think that the money I gave you earlier is all fake?"
Everyone was shocked and shut their mouths, so they could only bite the bullet.
With a sullen face, Zhan Ao ordered Ah Chao to invite Mr. Lin later, but he didn't invite him, which is a later story.
"Ahem..." The host laughed enough to recover, and announced: "In the first competition, Li Xunhuan and Mr. Li won! Who has any objections?"
"Does it need to be said? Everyone is not blind!"
The host nodded and said:
"Then the next game, playing piano! Please get ready, both sides."
Li Xunhuan got up, Ximen Chuuxue held him down, and said to Xiaozhu:
"Xiao Zhu, go and get the Jiao Weiqin that was delivered the day before yesterday." Then he said to Li Xun Huan: "Don't use your internal strength carelessly!"
Li Xun Huan laughed, is he so worrying?Holding him backhanded, said:
"Yes, Master Ximen, the villain is going now?"
Ximen Chuuxue hooked his lips, his Tanhualang became more and more mischievous.
Only then did everyone see clearly what kind of person it was who made such a romantic article.Li Xun Huan was dressed in white clothes with a long body, with light purple piping on the skirt and cuffs, black curly hair a little golden in the sun, jade-like skin, a high nose bridge with moist diamond lips, a pair of eyes like clear water, Like a banished fairy in the sun.
"Hey, I know what a god is." Someone murmured with his mouth open.
A boy in white shirt came down from Zhan Ao's side, waving a folding fan. At first glance, not only was he praised for being young and romantic, but standing next to Li Xun Huan, he was full of charm.His face was a little pale, and he gave Li Xun Huan a sneer.At this time, someone on the stage set up the stage and put on two Guqins, and the sharp-eyed person cried out:
"That's not the Jiaoweiqin made by the old man Gu Yang. Two years ago, Mr. Gu Yang passed away, and the whereabouts of this piano are unknown. There can be no second one in the world! This young man is really good!"
"That's not true. This person on the stage is the master of Li Garden in the south of the city. You haven't found out about it for a long time, have you? If I didn't happen to see this Mr. Li coming out of there yesterday, I wouldn't know."
"Li Yuan?! Is that Li Yuan?"
The man nodded triumphantly, feeling that his figure had grown a lot in an instant.
When Master Zhan heard the news, he couldn't catch his breath for a long time.Several wealthy local families once went to visit Li Yuan together, but they were rejected by the servants of the family.Li Yuan, the servants in that place are a bit nobler than the young ladies and masters of ordinary small families.All the dignified people in the city are trying their best to curry favor. The last time they left with endless regrets, they wondered when they would take their eldest son to try their luck.Didn't expect that it was Li Xunhuan's place?His face was instantly ugly.
On the side, Mr. Zhang saw that this was interesting and asked:
"Brother Zhan knows this young master?"
Master Zhan forced a smile, showing a bit of arrogance: "Unfortunately, this is my son's sworn brother."
"Mr. Zhan? Then why do they still have this kind of competition? I don't know if they think they are enemies!" Master Zhang laughed.Just Zhan Ao, who just made such an article, pull it down!
"It's my youngest son Zhan Xiang..." Master Zhan's face darkened and he didn't say anything else, but he was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. He only thought that Li Xun Huan was a tuberculosis ghost dying, but he didn't expect him to...
"Oh!" This sound made three twists and turns, and it was really pleasant to hear.It's just that it's different in the ears of Mr. Zhan. He stood up abruptly, forced a smile and said:
"Excuse me." He turned back with a sullen head, not knowing what to do.
Off the court, Li Xun Huan stood on the stage and won all his glory without doing anything, which only made people dazzled.He smiled brightly at the young man opposite, cupped his hands and said:
"Please!"
The man's feet softened, he forced himself to suppress the gods, and comforted himself: "A good poem does not necessarily mean a good piano play. This is my housekeeping skill. If you don't lose to that man, go."
It's just that the two of them stood on the stage at the same time, and it was clear that one was taller and the other was lower before a comparison was made.The man's face was a little hot, and he forced himself not to look at the mocking eyes of the audience, sat down and stroked the strings, calming down a bit.
Seeing that the other party was ready, Li Xun Huan frowned, sat down too, stroked the cold strings, and picked a couple of times, the tone was melodious and transparent, as expected of the qin that Ximen found.
"The two sons play at the same time, to see whose piano sound can suppress the other, and Mr. Lin will judge in the end."
The two nodded and looked at each other with a smile, but Li Xunhuan was smiling casually, and the man was smiling, even though he didn't know what he was guilty of.
A song called Yangchun Baixue was played first, this was the song that the young man in white shirt was good at, and he had won many applause for him.He was proficient in technique, and there was no mistake or omission at the beginning, so he calmed down and said: his level is still normal.Inadvertently glanced at Li Xunhuan's side, he touched the strings with both hands, he was about to start!This action made his heart tighten, "Clang", the gentle and comfortable melody jumped out inexplicably, and someone in the audience sneered at the right time, and the white boy's face turned blue and red, and he was really ashamed.
Li Xun Huan also gave him a surprised look, and thought, "Sure enough, he's still a young man."Then he gave him a comforting smile, signaling him not to be nervous.After receiving this look, the man really calmed down, and smiled gratefully at Li Xun Huan.
Yubai's fingers moved lightly, "Zheng!" A clear sound rang out just in time with the break of Bai Xue's piano sound.Li Xun Huan chose Zui Yu Chang Wan, bold and unrestrained, which fits his current life and state of mind at this time.
Two men in the same white clothes sat upright in the golden sun of Mutian, with the lingering sound of the piano next to their ears, how peaceful the years are.
In fact, from the first mispronunciation, that person knew that he was doomed this time.He had the upper hand by winning the first voice, and the latecomers had to match the former to make the piano sound harmonious. Li Xun Huan's later piano sound did not feel passive at all, this is beyond his reach.It's just that failure is not as embarrassing as imagined.He could have lost more uglyly, but was let off by the man, and he was grateful.Besides, being able to compare with such a character has no regrets.
After the two songs, the clear rhyme of string sounds still seems to remain in the air.The man stood up, took a deep breath, bowed towards Li Xun Huan, and said:
"Thank you sir for your help, the villain is convinced after defeat."
Li Xun Huan smiled indifferently and said:
"You are still young, and you still have more opportunities. You will definitely achieve something when you are my age."
The man blushed, he had accepted Zhan Ao's bribe to deal with this man, but he didn't think he was disobedient but comforted himself, and when it came to his age, he didn't think he was much older than himself, he just thought it was Li Xun Huan who did it for him I am even more grateful for the excuse I found to comfort myself.He bowed again and stepped down.
"Mr. Li is a great talent. The community has such a pillar, and I am comforted by this old man. I declare that this literary battle will win two out of three rounds, and Mr. Li will win!"
"Good! Good!" There was a congratulatory sound from the audience, and some people slapped redly, as if they were the winners.
"We'll fight next," the host and old man Lin looked at Li Xunhuan worriedly. He was pale and thin. They couldn't bear to ask him to fight.
"Both parties, please."
Zhan Ao tried his best to hide his ferocious expression, looked at Yu Tianbao with an honest and pitiful look, and said:
"Young Master, save me."
Yu Tianbao panicked in his heart, what kind of nonsense poems this guy wrote just now, if someone sees him mingling with him, it would be really scary to think about it!Reluctantly, he had already agreed earlier, he turned his head and told the three friends and four protectors of Suihan who had rushed over:
"I'll be there for you later."
The faces of the old men were very ugly. They received a letter from this man saying that they had something very important to rush over. Could it be that the important thing now is that they should go on stage to bully a scholar?It still represents such a pustule, their famous names... If not, they looked towards the balcony on the third floor of the restaurant opposite... Sighing helplessly, they would have left long ago!
"Boss, you go first."
Hearing this, Lone Pine's face turned green. It doesn't look good when you win, but it's even worse when you lose!
"This is the order of the leader." Zhumei and Zhumei added very unkindly.
Lone Song gave the two unkind brothers a hard look, and flew off the stage.
When he heard the signal to start the fight, Ximen Chuuxue frowned, turned around and flew out.
On Zhan Ao's side, an old man who was as dry as dead tree bark ended up, while on Li Xunhuan's side... Ximen Chuuxue's white clothes were always so white, dazzling in the sun.With his icy face and temperament as cold as the north wind, everyone present shivered.
"He's injured, I'll take Wu Dou for him." Ximen Chuixue said coldly.
"Ximen Chuuxue!" Someone gasped and shouted in shock.
The people in the Jianghu below all exchanged their ears: What is the identity of this person, and Ximen Chuuxue is willing to stand up for him?
He appeared in the Forbidden City on the night of the decisive battle, is it also related to this?Was his fight for Ximen Chuuxue?Questions popped up one after another, and the curious people scratched their hearts and lungs.
"Wait!" A big man jumped out, it was an old man, it was Fan Tieyang from Lieyang Hall, he said:
"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Master Ximen and Li Daxia can give this person to me. I have sworn that whoever wants to be an enemy of Li Daxia is to be an enemy of my Lieyang Hall! I have been very sorry for Li Daxia. Please give me a chance to make amends." He clasped his fists and bowed, pleading.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the rumor turned out to be true.
Ximen Chuuxue glanced coldly at the person who appeared out of nowhere, and said two words coldly:
"Need not."
Fan Tieyang's face froze, and he looked at Li Xunhuan helplessly.
Li Xunhuan smiled helplessly and said:
"Teacher Fan doesn't need to be like this. What I did that day is my duty. Why worry about it? Ximen said he wants to go, so let him go." Said he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ximen Chuuxue: This will satisfy you wish?
Ximen Chuixue's eyes were drunk, but only Li Xunhuan could see it.
Li Xunhuan dragged Fan Tieyang, who was still feeling guilty, off the stage.
Now everyone was relieved, Lone Song was relieved because he didn't have to fight Li Xunhuan anymore, not to mention that this person was injured, it would be disgraceful to win or lose, now it was Ximen Chuuxue, it would be all right if he won or lost It won't be ugly.
"I heard that you are very good at using a sword?"
"I am the sword."
"Have you reached the realm of no sword?"
"To deal with you, why use a sword?"
"You look down on me?" He was full of momentum.
"My sword will see blood when it comes out of its sheath. I don't want to kill you this time, because you don't want to fight him."
"Tsk tsk, when will Ximen Chuuxue show mercy?"
"You are not my opponent." He said lightly.
"That has to be compared to know."
After all, the air on the field instantly condensed, and an oppressive atmosphere instantly dispersed.
Ximen Chuuxue was right, Lone Pine was indeed not his opponent.
The two of them could only disassemble thirty moves, because Ximen Chuuxue didn't use weapons, neither did Lone Song, maybe he could last longer if he used weapons.
The winner or loser of an expert duel is often decided in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Ximen Chuuxue's foot had already stepped on his chest.The old man's haggard face turned gray in an instant, he lost, and he lost too fast... Is this already the arena of young people?
He staggered to his feet and said dismally:
"We lost, there is no need to compare."
Hearing this, Zhan Ao's face was distorted to the point of ferocity, and he yelled towards the field while holding on to the railing:
"Senior, how did you lose? Besides, you want to fight Li Xunhuan, tell Li Xunhuan to come out!"
The two people off the court glared at him at the same time, Zhan Ao's anger instantly cooled down, what did he just do, cold sweat soaked down his back instantly.
Ximen Chuuxue looked at him coldly, and said ironically:
"Even if it's Li Xunhuan who came, there will be no other results. He is on par with me."
Zhan Ao choked, obviously not believing it.But Fan Tieyang responded off the court:
"That's right, Daxia Li is by no means inferior to the owner of Ximen Village! That old man, can you break through the defense of eighty people like me without killing one of us?"
Old Man Lone Pine's face had calmed down, he looked at Fan Tieyang lightly, guessed in his heart, and said after a while:
"No."
"So, how many people in the world can do this. That kid, you want to compare with Li Daxia? Tsk!" Fan Tieyang looked at Zhan Ao upstairs with contempt.
Sui Han Sanyou and the three old men didn't return to Zhan Ao's side, they took Yu Tianbao to the opposite restaurant.In a luxuriously decorated box on the third floor, Yu Tianbao's usual arrogant and arrogant temperament has been restrained. He is like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he dare not even raise his head.
"Can you beat Ximen Chuuxue?" A deep and magnetic male voice sounded.The speaker was about the same age as Prince Anton, dressed in black Chinese clothes, with a piece of warm ancient jade around his waist.The raw sword eyes and star eyebrows, the ruthless thin lips always carry a wicked smile, and the eyes are like a thousand-year-old ancient pool, deep and dark.
His tone could not be heard to be happy or angry, but for some reason, the three guardians who had followed him for many years did not feel how angry he was.Lone Pine blushed and said:
"Yes, Ximen Chuuxue is very powerful."
"Oh, is that so?" He was a little careless, squinting his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking, and raised his finger to point to the direction where Li Xun Huan and the others were.
"What's the relationship between that person and Ximen Chuuxue?"
"This is the news from the white dove." Han Mei handed over a scroll.
The man watched in silence for a long time, his expression uncertain. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at the people around him, and said:
"Lead them north."
"Yes!" Everyone was stunned.
The fight ended earlier than expected, but the expressions of Zhan's father and son were completely different from when they came.When they walked out of the building, some children came up and asked curiously:
"Brother, how do you drive your cattle to eat grass, teach me."
Zhan Ao's face was livid, and he didn't say a word.
The child's father hastily pulled him aside, suppressed a smile and said:
"Tong Yan Wuji, Mr. Zhan Zhai has a kind heart, so I hope you don't care about it."
Then he lowered his head and taught his children in a low voice:
"This is a secret recipe handed down from the family. It's not passed on to the outside world. How can you ask casually?"
It's just that this lesson didn't make Zhan Ao's complexion better, and his ashen complexion suddenly turned black...
Surrounded by the servants, the family of three moved forward quickly with their heads bowed, without the arrogance they used to have.They went to the yamen to ask to see the magistrate, it was hard to swallow their breath, they were old friends with the magistrate, so what's the use of Li Xun Huan being so powerful?Fame does not compete with officials, they always have a way to deal with him.
It's just that when they entered the government office, they saw the magistrate kneeling on the ground trembling. On the chief seat was a heroic man in white clothes, and beside him sat a man in purple robes. Both of them were graceful and handsome, with extraordinary handsome faces. , but it makes people feel scared when they look at it.
Seeing the three of them coming in and standing there blankly, the magistrate hurriedly shouted:
"Presumptuous, bold! You don't kneel down when you see His Majesty!"
The author has something to say: o(╯□╰)o Forgive the scumbag author, writing poetry and lyrics is very ordinary. . .In order to highlight our talents in Tanhua. .I can only let Mr. Zhan rub more and more~~~~
Thinking about this poem makes me laugh out loud. . . . . ~~ Zhan Ao wanted to engage in black box operations, but he didn't expect it to be made public. .Really happy to hear~~~
Daddy Yu made a mistake~ You don't leave comments for such a long chapter. . .Oh, I'm so lazy. . . . .
The city of Shanxi was really lively that day.Not only the magistrate came to watch, but also many celebrities, rich men and scholars, some of them had close relationship with the Zhan family.Of course, there are many people who join in the fun!
On the same day, the Zhan family rented out the entire Menghua Building, as well as the Huaying Pavilion. The two buildings stood facing each other, and a stage was set up between the buildings, and some actors were invited to sing on the stage.The invited arbitration old Hanlin was drinking tea on the second floor, the magistrate was also there, and Mr. Zhan was beside him, his face was full of joy, and he wanted to say that what was held today was not a hard-to-win competition, but his son's wedding .
When Li Xunhuan and Ximen Chuuxue arrived, looking at the scene in front of him, Li Xunhuan twitched his lips helplessly:
"Master Zhan is really willing."
"That's his precious son, why would he be reluctant?" Zhan Xiang muttered sourly, "It's a pity he's going to lose face today." Thinking about it makes him feel happy.
Li Xun Huan rubbed his head, smiled and said:
"That's his precious son, you are our precious brother, there is nothing better than that."
Zhan Xiang blushed, but didn't say anything, he had something that Zhan Ao couldn't match in his lifetime.
"I announce! The competition begins! First is Wen Dou, the first match, Dou Wen." When the gong rang, the person invited to host let out a howl, and the long-awaited competition finally began.
On the second floor, Elder Lin held a teacup to look at Master Zhan, he said:
"Master Zhan has heard that he is very talented. He shouldn't have any problems dealing with someone he has never heard of before this time. Don't worry, Mr. Zhan."
Father Zhan couldn't close his mouth when he laughed, but he still said humbly:
"A dog is not talented, how dare he be worthy of Master Lin's praise. Master Lin is a talented person. The name of the poem is spread all over the world. If the dog can be half as good as Master Lin, it is enough." But I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, this is Hanlin The elders of the courtyard said it himself, and I don't know how long it is to spread the word!The next time his son takes part in the imperial examination, he may win the first prize in one fell swoop, and he is not sure whether he is the number one scholar or the second place!Thinking of this, the wrinkles on his face were almost crowded into a pile.
"Master Zhan is too modest, is there anyone in Shanxi who hasn't heard of Mr. Zhan's name?" the magistrate also said.For the bills he sent every month, he was very willing to say a few words of appreciation.
"Oh, the magistrate is really flattering, the dog is flattered! The magistrate is tired of working for the people every day, and he even takes time out of his busy schedule to participate in the dog competition. The grassroots are grateful and terrified!"
The three complimented each other one sentence at a time, and suddenly a man who looked like a guard entered the box, whispered a few words in Lin Hanlin's ear, and saw old man Lin's complexion changed drastically, Huo stood up and hit the table My teacup doesn't know it yet.The muscles on his face trembled a little. Looking at the guard with a cold face in front of him, he just wanted to bend down, but he stopped him with a cold look.Pulling out a smile, he apologized to the surprised two people beside him:
"I have something very important right now, I'm afraid I'm going to miss you for a while, please wait a moment." After saying that, before the two of them could respond, they hurriedly followed the guards away.
Mr. Zhan felt a little uneasy, didn't something happen?
After a while, the magistrate was also called away in the same way, and now Dad Zhan was really restless.
In fact, Mr. Lin did not encounter any terrible things. The guard came in and whispered in his ear: I am the guard next to your majesty, and your majesty is waiting for you upstairs.
He tremblingly followed up the stairs, and stopped in front of a delicately carved mahogany door. Before he heard anything, he fell to his knees with a slap, his whole body trembling like chaff.Ye Gucheng had something to do with Ye Gucheng when he returned home so early. It wasn't because Ye Gucheng was so cruel since he came to the throne. It was a resolute and iron-blooded cold look, which made him feel terrified.This time, he did something bad, so he knelt down without hearing any orders.
"Old old old... Your majesty." He trembled.
Guard: "...Your Majesty told you to go in and answer."
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
He stood up tremblingly, pushed open the door and entered with trembling legs.
The scene he saw when he entered made him dumbfounded.His wise and cold-hearted Majesty was peeling a grape and handing it to the man in purple beside him. Looking at a small pile of grape skins on the table, it seemed that the work had been going on for quite a while.Seeing his surprised appearance, the man smiled viciously, opened his mouth to hold the peeled grape, and directed Ye Gucheng to continue with his eyes.Ye Gucheng didn't think it was disobedient, and he really continued, and it seemed that he still had some interest.
Old man Lin kept trembling in his heart. If it wasn't for his lack of courage, he would probably subconsciously point at Zhuo Donglai with a trembling finger, and say, "Monster!"Confused Lord!But Zhuo Donglai gave a fluttering look, and he felt his kneecaps began to weaken again.
"Old Lin, I heard that Mr. Zhan paid you several good visits a while ago." Ye Gucheng didn't speak, it was Zhuo Donglai who spoke, and old man Lin said in his heart: It really is an evildoer, and his voice is soft and pleasant.After thinking about it, I am already old, so I am looking for death if I take care of His Majesty's family affairs!How could an old bone deal with this level of disaster?Hearing this person mention this, his heart trembled, how did he know?
"Old minister... oh no, I don't have any friendship with Mr. Zhan." The latter words were silenced by the unusually understanding eyes of the two in front of them.
"You are the old Hanlin. Donglai and I are also watching this competition. I hope you don't do anything that would embarrass the court." Ye Gucheng's cold voice sounded, making old man Lin shiver, and said repeatedly:
"Never fail His Majesty's expectations!"
The two smiled in satisfaction, Ye Gucheng said: "Go down."
Old man Lin was greatly stimulated. He could not do what he promised to do for the Zhan family. He only hoped that Mr. Zhan was as talented as his father said, otherwise...
"The first match, essays! Both sides have a question and ask each other to write an essay based on it. There is a time limit and a stick of incense. Let's start now!"
"There's still a time limit?" Zhan Ao's mother was a little uneasy, looked at her frowning son beside her, and comforted her with a smile: "The time limit is the time limit, that Li Xunhuan is just a rough man, it's impossible to compare with yours !"
Zhan Ao nodded, he couldn't deny it, not to mention how he, a man from the rivers and lakes, was better than himself who had read sage books for more than ten years, and he had already taken care of everything, so what could be wrong?It's just that he's upset that...
"Young Master, those old seniors..." He smiled shyly and asked again.
"I have sent a message ordering them to come over, isn't Wu Dou behind, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Standing up straight, he cupped his hands to the talented young man who was invited beside him, "I'm not talented, so I'll go first this time, if things don't work later, I'll have to rely on you all."
Everyone cursed in their hearts: Return the younger brother!He looks like a stiff melon and old jujube, so he has the nerve to call him a younger brother.On the face but said with a smile:
"Where is there, the Eldest Young Master has a brilliant literary talent, and I am only here for a personal occasion, so what is the use of it?"
Zhan Ao smiled satisfied, it was very useful, he didn't say anything more, and ordered A Chao to tell the audience his problem.
Li Xunhuan here:
"Brother, what question do you want to ask?" Zhan Xiaoxiang asked impatiently as soon as the audience finished speaking.
Li Xunhuan took the teacup from Ximen Chuuxue leisurely, and replied with a smile:
"What questions does Xiaoxiang want me to ask?"
"It's better to kill him hard!" Zhan Xiaoxiang looked excited.
"What good ideas do you have?" Li Xun Huan laughed.
A Fei shook his head, he was not good at writing poems or lyrics.
"We are not as good as you in literary talent, you can make your own decision. But Xun Huan, you have to promise me that we will go up first in the martial arts later, and you are not allowed to go down easily. Zhuo Dong said that Zhan Ao asked for help." Ximen Chuuxue said again Passed a peeled pipa to Li Xun Huan and said to Li Xun Huan calmly.
Can't go down easily?How can I have a chance if you go down?Li Xunhuan pouted.
He didn't answer, thought for a while, raised the corners of his lips, and sighed:
"I don't know how to ask questions that are too tricky. Why don't you ask him to fill in the title 'Die Lian Hua'."
Zhan Xiang blinked in confusion, poetry is very popular here, lyrics and music have just started, no wonder some people don't know about it.
"This is the name of the first lyrics, and it can be sung with poems and tunes." A Fei explained.
"Is the eldest brother going to sing?"
Li Xun Huan shook his head with a smile, "You can ask others to sing."
Zhan Xiang nodded and smiled complacently, Zhan Ao must be helpless!
Not long after, the host off-site reported loudly: "Mr. Zhan proposed a topic: a poem based on the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and Mr. Li Xunhuan provided a topic: a poem with lyrics, Ci Pai, Die Lian Hua. The time limit is one stick Incense, light up the incense!"
Zhan Ao was a little dumbfounded for a moment, Die Lianhua?
"Eldest son? This is the name of the Cipai. The tune is just not good enough. You just need to add poems."
Zhan Ao came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said:
"How could I not know, I just didn't expect that Li Xun Huan has some knowledge."
the other side:
"Spring, summer, autumn and winter? Cut, vulgar!" Zhan Xiang couldn't wait to run to his elder brother to reveal Zhan Ao's black history, "Brother, you don't know that when he was 13 years old, he wrote several poems with this title His parents almost didn't regard him as a child prodigy!" At that time, when he heard the poem written by Zhan Ao, he just laughed, but he was punished...
A Fei frowned, this guy moved closer to his elder brother and pulled his sleeve, Zhan Xiaoxiang couldn't stand still and fell into A Fei's arms, just about to yell: What are you doing!But I heard Ah Fei say:
"Don't worry, big brother will help you vent your anger. Stay here obediently." He rubbed the top of his hair as he spoke.
I don't know if it's because A Fei's body temperature is too high or what, when Zhan Xiaoxiang heard this, he really didn't continue to fuss, blushed in embarrassment, and didn't speak.
Li Xunhuan and Ximen Chuuxue looked at each other and smiled, Ximen Chuuxue silently said hello to A Fei, then took Li Xunhuan's palm and took him to a small room with all the four treasures of the study.Li Xunhuan is not surprised, he can build a big house here in such a short period of time, what else can Ximen Chuuxue not do?
After the incense burnt, the poems completed by both parties were sent to Mr. Lin.Old man Lin had just been beaten, so he didn't dare to cheat at all, so he read the two poem manuscripts with all his energy.
What a poem!good poem!The chapters and sentences are meaningful, the meaning and rhyme are harmonious, and this handwriting is handsome and unrestrained, with well-proportioned flesh and bones, so strong, so bold!Old Lin tsk tsk, I really want to meet the talented man who wrote such a poem, and see if there is a man who is as romantic and refined as it... Everyone has a love of talent, and old man Lin has been obsessed with poetry for so many years. No exceptions.He had a deep feeling in his heart that there were probably very few talented poets he had ever met who could beat this person, and the results of this competition probably already counted.
But there are no absolutes, perhaps Mr. Zhan could be even more unexpected?Even though he knew that the possibility was unlikely, Elder Lin was still looking forward to the exhibition of Zhang Ao's work...just...the corner of his mouth froze: What is this?
It took only two cups of tea for old man Lin to taste the poem, but he didn't keep everyone waiting too long.I saw two teenagers who looked like book boys holding two large scrolls of banners, the host nodded, the two climbed to a high place and shook their hands, and spread out with a clatter.
Seeing this action, Zhan Ao's face froze. He imagined that it was only Mr. Lin who stood up and announced the result of his victory, and then praised him a bit, and then he could win the glory. He pretended to be humble, and his talent was famous It can spread again.It's just that the scene now is far different from what he imagined...
He hurriedly stood up and looked in Elder Lin's direction, the panic on his face didn't stop at all!It's just that it's too late now!
"The one on the left is Mr. Li Xunhuan's poems, and the one on the right is Mr. Zhan Ao Zhan's works. Let Mr. Lin comment on them in public."
Everyone looked at the field with their eyes wide open. This was specially for people to copy and magnify, so everyone present could see clearly.
Li Xunhuan wrote:
Spring Return: One season of Chang'an Zhu Zigui, the city is full of spring clothes and emerald.
From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the silk clothes and brocades must return.
Xia You: The garden is full of Yu Fei, and the radish is in the dusk, and the village of Huangbai Zhizi is full of smoke.
It's just that the warbler hides the green willow and the yellow, and the kite flies to the old flower village in the evening.
Qiu Si: Chutian Kuoyan holds a red maple, a pot of warm and dark love in the world of mortals.
After ten years of tears and tears among Shengxiao guests, who remembers the sun and the moon in other lands?
Dongsai: Horseshoe dust and snow curl up in the wild smoke, and the shepherds on the Guyang Ancient Road move.
The yellow sand in the northern part of the country is bright and dark, and the cold autumn and winter stop Geyuan.
Butterfly Love Flower: Leaves contain dense dew and branches are broken and bitter.The mist is misty and the smoke is green, and the morning breeze is like a waist dance.The jade flute of Yigong Cique blares.
Life is sour and painful.I plan to spit out my chest.Full of bitter wine, green willow stuffed with yellow bran.
Shengge has exhausted the road of youth.It's a custom inside and outside the building.
Zhan Ao's hand holding the cup was blue and white, just like his complexion.The literati next to him looked at the chapters and sentences off the stage, and read them word by word, applauding one by one:
"Great talent! There are such poems in such a short period of time, even eight fights are not enough to accommodate his talent!"
Zhan Ao's face was even more ugly, and he was vaguely ferocious.Because almost everyone has only one reaction when they read his works: Pfft!
Li Xun Huan didn't mention other people, even Ximen Chuuxue's indifferent expression was a bit weird.
Zhan Ao's Spring: The sun is shining in spring, and my cattle are grazing.
My family doesn't eat chicken, only cattle are full.
………….
Xia: In summer, the sun is high and my cattle eat grass.
The chickens are still not eaten, and the cattle are full.
…………
Autumn: In autumn, the sky is high, and cows graze under the trees.
The chicken does not eat with the cow, so the cow is full.
…………
Winter: The sun is not good in winter, and the cattle do not eat grass.
But the chickens are not eaten, and the chickens and cows are dead!
…………
Die Lian Hua: Die Lian Hua comes to Hua Lian Die.Love butterflies chasing flowers, bees and butterflies among flowers.Both bees and butterflies love flowers.
My ambition is but one.One is that the flowers in the world should meet the butterflies, and the butterflies are in love, so that they can live up to their youth!
The most wonderful love in my life.Butterflies bloom every day.
Everyone laughed, and Zhan Xiang even slapped the table with laughter.
"Hahaha...ha, it's just these few songs again...I know it! Haha...his talents are all because of his father's stuffing a lot of money...haha. "
"Be careful to get angry." A Fei said helplessly, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and it seemed that he was about to fail.
Li Xun Huan also laughed, but just now he accidentally choked, coughed and laughed, and fell into Ximen Chuuxue's arms.Ximen Chuixue's eyes glowed with a smile, and he patted the person in his arms lightly. Some people threw themselves into their arms, and if they didn't hug them, it would be in vain.
"Ahem...haha...Ximen, I have seen it today...haha...cough..."
Someone shouted loudly:
"Well written, show off your talents. It's just that my cows refuse to eat grass. What can you do?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter again.
Someone else yelled:
"Young Master Zhan, I'm a beekeeper. Now it seems that I need to raise some butterflies to bloom well!"
"This is the talented young master of the Zhan Family... Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter..."
"Daddy, I can do this too." A seven or eight-year-old boy
"Little Huzi, you will too?"
"En! Spring is: when the sun is shining in spring, the cattle and sheep are sleeping. When they are full, they will eat grass, and the cattle, sheep and people will be full!"
"Oh, my dear son, what a talent!"
"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha..."
"Good poetry, good poetry! Little Huzi, you can go to the scholar examination!"
In Zhan Ao Building, his mother worried:
"Hey, isn't this a doggerel you wrote when you were six or seven years old? Why are you still lazy now? You don't underestimate the enemy." His mother even made excuses for him.
"What mother said is that the child underestimates the enemy. To tell you the truth, I feel a little unwell today, and my level is abnormal. It really depends on everyone." His complexion is sallow, and he doesn't look well.
Everyone was terrified. Originally, it was just to deal with a rough man with no education. Now it seems that they have been cheated.You're not feeling well today. Didn't you feel fine just now?We can't afford to lose face if you want to lie to us!
They all declined and said: "Don't dare, we are really here to join the personal field today. Only the eldest son is capable of such an important task, and we are hard to come by."
Zhan Ao's eyes turned cold, and he said sharply:
"Let you go down and go down. Do you think that the money I gave you earlier is all fake?"
Everyone was shocked and shut their mouths, so they could only bite the bullet.
With a sullen face, Zhan Ao ordered Ah Chao to invite Mr. Lin later, but he didn't invite him, which is a later story.
"Ahem..." The host laughed enough to recover, and announced: "In the first competition, Li Xunhuan and Mr. Li won! Who has any objections?"
"Does it need to be said? Everyone is not blind!"
The host nodded and said:
"Then the next game, playing piano! Please get ready, both sides."
Li Xunhuan got up, Ximen Chuuxue held him down, and said to Xiaozhu:
"Xiao Zhu, go and get the Jiao Weiqin that was delivered the day before yesterday." Then he said to Li Xun Huan: "Don't use your internal strength carelessly!"
Li Xun Huan laughed, is he so worrying?Holding him backhanded, said:
"Yes, Master Ximen, the villain is going now?"
Ximen Chuuxue hooked his lips, his Tanhualang became more and more mischievous.
Only then did everyone see clearly what kind of person it was who made such a romantic article.Li Xun Huan was dressed in white clothes with a long body, with light purple piping on the skirt and cuffs, black curly hair a little golden in the sun, jade-like skin, a high nose bridge with moist diamond lips, a pair of eyes like clear water, Like a banished fairy in the sun.
"Hey, I know what a god is." Someone murmured with his mouth open.
A boy in white shirt came down from Zhan Ao's side, waving a folding fan. At first glance, not only was he praised for being young and romantic, but standing next to Li Xun Huan, he was full of charm.His face was a little pale, and he gave Li Xun Huan a sneer.At this time, someone on the stage set up the stage and put on two Guqins, and the sharp-eyed person cried out:
"That's not the Jiaoweiqin made by the old man Gu Yang. Two years ago, Mr. Gu Yang passed away, and the whereabouts of this piano are unknown. There can be no second one in the world! This young man is really good!"
"That's not true. This person on the stage is the master of Li Garden in the south of the city. You haven't found out about it for a long time, have you? If I didn't happen to see this Mr. Li coming out of there yesterday, I wouldn't know."
"Li Yuan?! Is that Li Yuan?"
The man nodded triumphantly, feeling that his figure had grown a lot in an instant.
When Master Zhan heard the news, he couldn't catch his breath for a long time.Several wealthy local families once went to visit Li Yuan together, but they were rejected by the servants of the family.Li Yuan, the servants in that place are a bit nobler than the young ladies and masters of ordinary small families.All the dignified people in the city are trying their best to curry favor. The last time they left with endless regrets, they wondered when they would take their eldest son to try their luck.Didn't expect that it was Li Xunhuan's place?His face was instantly ugly.
On the side, Mr. Zhang saw that this was interesting and asked:
"Brother Zhan knows this young master?"
Master Zhan forced a smile, showing a bit of arrogance: "Unfortunately, this is my son's sworn brother."
"Mr. Zhan? Then why do they still have this kind of competition? I don't know if they think they are enemies!" Master Zhang laughed.Just Zhan Ao, who just made such an article, pull it down!
"It's my youngest son Zhan Xiang..." Master Zhan's face darkened and he didn't say anything else, but he was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. He only thought that Li Xun Huan was a tuberculosis ghost dying, but he didn't expect him to...
"Oh!" This sound made three twists and turns, and it was really pleasant to hear.It's just that it's different in the ears of Mr. Zhan. He stood up abruptly, forced a smile and said:
"Excuse me." He turned back with a sullen head, not knowing what to do.
Off the court, Li Xun Huan stood on the stage and won all his glory without doing anything, which only made people dazzled.He smiled brightly at the young man opposite, cupped his hands and said:
"Please!"
The man's feet softened, he forced himself to suppress the gods, and comforted himself: "A good poem does not necessarily mean a good piano play. This is my housekeeping skill. If you don't lose to that man, go."
It's just that the two of them stood on the stage at the same time, and it was clear that one was taller and the other was lower before a comparison was made.The man's face was a little hot, and he forced himself not to look at the mocking eyes of the audience, sat down and stroked the strings, calming down a bit.
Seeing that the other party was ready, Li Xun Huan frowned, sat down too, stroked the cold strings, and picked a couple of times, the tone was melodious and transparent, as expected of the qin that Ximen found.
"The two sons play at the same time, to see whose piano sound can suppress the other, and Mr. Lin will judge in the end."
The two nodded and looked at each other with a smile, but Li Xunhuan was smiling casually, and the man was smiling, even though he didn't know what he was guilty of.
A song called Yangchun Baixue was played first, this was the song that the young man in white shirt was good at, and he had won many applause for him.He was proficient in technique, and there was no mistake or omission at the beginning, so he calmed down and said: his level is still normal.Inadvertently glanced at Li Xunhuan's side, he touched the strings with both hands, he was about to start!This action made his heart tighten, "Clang", the gentle and comfortable melody jumped out inexplicably, and someone in the audience sneered at the right time, and the white boy's face turned blue and red, and he was really ashamed.
Li Xun Huan also gave him a surprised look, and thought, "Sure enough, he's still a young man."Then he gave him a comforting smile, signaling him not to be nervous.After receiving this look, the man really calmed down, and smiled gratefully at Li Xun Huan.
Yubai's fingers moved lightly, "Zheng!" A clear sound rang out just in time with the break of Bai Xue's piano sound.Li Xun Huan chose Zui Yu Chang Wan, bold and unrestrained, which fits his current life and state of mind at this time.
Two men in the same white clothes sat upright in the golden sun of Mutian, with the lingering sound of the piano next to their ears, how peaceful the years are.
In fact, from the first mispronunciation, that person knew that he was doomed this time.He had the upper hand by winning the first voice, and the latecomers had to match the former to make the piano sound harmonious. Li Xun Huan's later piano sound did not feel passive at all, this is beyond his reach.It's just that failure is not as embarrassing as imagined.He could have lost more uglyly, but was let off by the man, and he was grateful.Besides, being able to compare with such a character has no regrets.
After the two songs, the clear rhyme of string sounds still seems to remain in the air.The man stood up, took a deep breath, bowed towards Li Xun Huan, and said:
"Thank you sir for your help, the villain is convinced after defeat."
Li Xun Huan smiled indifferently and said:
"You are still young, and you still have more opportunities. You will definitely achieve something when you are my age."
The man blushed, he had accepted Zhan Ao's bribe to deal with this man, but he didn't think he was disobedient but comforted himself, and when it came to his age, he didn't think he was much older than himself, he just thought it was Li Xun Huan who did it for him I am even more grateful for the excuse I found to comfort myself.He bowed again and stepped down.
"Mr. Li is a great talent. The community has such a pillar, and I am comforted by this old man. I declare that this literary battle will win two out of three rounds, and Mr. Li will win!"
"Good! Good!" There was a congratulatory sound from the audience, and some people slapped redly, as if they were the winners.
"We'll fight next," the host and old man Lin looked at Li Xunhuan worriedly. He was pale and thin. They couldn't bear to ask him to fight.
"Both parties, please."
Zhan Ao tried his best to hide his ferocious expression, looked at Yu Tianbao with an honest and pitiful look, and said:
"Young Master, save me."
Yu Tianbao panicked in his heart, what kind of nonsense poems this guy wrote just now, if someone sees him mingling with him, it would be really scary to think about it!Reluctantly, he had already agreed earlier, he turned his head and told the three friends and four protectors of Suihan who had rushed over:
"I'll be there for you later."
The faces of the old men were very ugly. They received a letter from this man saying that they had something very important to rush over. Could it be that the important thing now is that they should go on stage to bully a scholar?It still represents such a pustule, their famous names... If not, they looked towards the balcony on the third floor of the restaurant opposite... Sighing helplessly, they would have left long ago!
"Boss, you go first."
Hearing this, Lone Pine's face turned green. It doesn't look good when you win, but it's even worse when you lose!
"This is the order of the leader." Zhumei and Zhumei added very unkindly.
Lone Song gave the two unkind brothers a hard look, and flew off the stage.
When he heard the signal to start the fight, Ximen Chuuxue frowned, turned around and flew out.
On Zhan Ao's side, an old man who was as dry as dead tree bark ended up, while on Li Xunhuan's side... Ximen Chuuxue's white clothes were always so white, dazzling in the sun.With his icy face and temperament as cold as the north wind, everyone present shivered.
"He's injured, I'll take Wu Dou for him." Ximen Chuixue said coldly.
"Ximen Chuuxue!" Someone gasped and shouted in shock.
The people in the Jianghu below all exchanged their ears: What is the identity of this person, and Ximen Chuuxue is willing to stand up for him?
He appeared in the Forbidden City on the night of the decisive battle, is it also related to this?Was his fight for Ximen Chuuxue?Questions popped up one after another, and the curious people scratched their hearts and lungs.
"Wait!" A big man jumped out, it was an old man, it was Fan Tieyang from Lieyang Hall, he said:
"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Master Ximen and Li Daxia can give this person to me. I have sworn that whoever wants to be an enemy of Li Daxia is to be an enemy of my Lieyang Hall! I have been very sorry for Li Daxia. Please give me a chance to make amends." He clasped his fists and bowed, pleading.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the rumor turned out to be true.
Ximen Chuuxue glanced coldly at the person who appeared out of nowhere, and said two words coldly:
"Need not."
Fan Tieyang's face froze, and he looked at Li Xunhuan helplessly.
Li Xunhuan smiled helplessly and said:
"Teacher Fan doesn't need to be like this. What I did that day is my duty. Why worry about it? Ximen said he wants to go, so let him go." Said he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ximen Chuuxue: This will satisfy you wish?
Ximen Chuixue's eyes were drunk, but only Li Xunhuan could see it.
Li Xunhuan dragged Fan Tieyang, who was still feeling guilty, off the stage.
Now everyone was relieved, Lone Song was relieved because he didn't have to fight Li Xunhuan anymore, not to mention that this person was injured, it would be disgraceful to win or lose, now it was Ximen Chuuxue, it would be all right if he won or lost It won't be ugly.
"I heard that you are very good at using a sword?"
"I am the sword."
"Have you reached the realm of no sword?"
"To deal with you, why use a sword?"
"You look down on me?" He was full of momentum.
"My sword will see blood when it comes out of its sheath. I don't want to kill you this time, because you don't want to fight him."
"Tsk tsk, when will Ximen Chuuxue show mercy?"
"You are not my opponent." He said lightly.
"That has to be compared to know."
After all, the air on the field instantly condensed, and an oppressive atmosphere instantly dispersed.
Ximen Chuuxue was right, Lone Pine was indeed not his opponent.
The two of them could only disassemble thirty moves, because Ximen Chuuxue didn't use weapons, neither did Lone Song, maybe he could last longer if he used weapons.
The winner or loser of an expert duel is often decided in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Ximen Chuuxue's foot had already stepped on his chest.The old man's haggard face turned gray in an instant, he lost, and he lost too fast... Is this already the arena of young people?
He staggered to his feet and said dismally:
"We lost, there is no need to compare."
Hearing this, Zhan Ao's face was distorted to the point of ferocity, and he yelled towards the field while holding on to the railing:
"Senior, how did you lose? Besides, you want to fight Li Xunhuan, tell Li Xunhuan to come out!"
The two people off the court glared at him at the same time, Zhan Ao's anger instantly cooled down, what did he just do, cold sweat soaked down his back instantly.
Ximen Chuuxue looked at him coldly, and said ironically:
"Even if it's Li Xunhuan who came, there will be no other results. He is on par with me."
Zhan Ao choked, obviously not believing it.But Fan Tieyang responded off the court:
"That's right, Daxia Li is by no means inferior to the owner of Ximen Village! That old man, can you break through the defense of eighty people like me without killing one of us?"
Old Man Lone Pine's face had calmed down, he looked at Fan Tieyang lightly, guessed in his heart, and said after a while:
"No."
"So, how many people in the world can do this. That kid, you want to compare with Li Daxia? Tsk!" Fan Tieyang looked at Zhan Ao upstairs with contempt.
Sui Han Sanyou and the three old men didn't return to Zhan Ao's side, they took Yu Tianbao to the opposite restaurant.In a luxuriously decorated box on the third floor, Yu Tianbao's usual arrogant and arrogant temperament has been restrained. He is like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he dare not even raise his head.
"Can you beat Ximen Chuuxue?" A deep and magnetic male voice sounded.The speaker was about the same age as Prince Anton, dressed in black Chinese clothes, with a piece of warm ancient jade around his waist.The raw sword eyes and star eyebrows, the ruthless thin lips always carry a wicked smile, and the eyes are like a thousand-year-old ancient pool, deep and dark.
His tone could not be heard to be happy or angry, but for some reason, the three guardians who had followed him for many years did not feel how angry he was.Lone Pine blushed and said:
"Yes, Ximen Chuuxue is very powerful."
"Oh, is that so?" He was a little careless, squinting his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking, and raised his finger to point to the direction where Li Xun Huan and the others were.
"What's the relationship between that person and Ximen Chuuxue?"
"This is the news from the white dove." Han Mei handed over a scroll.
The man watched in silence for a long time, his expression uncertain. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at the people around him, and said:
"Lead them north."
"Yes!" Everyone was stunned.
The fight ended earlier than expected, but the expressions of Zhan's father and son were completely different from when they came.When they walked out of the building, some children came up and asked curiously:
"Brother, how do you drive your cattle to eat grass, teach me."
Zhan Ao's face was livid, and he didn't say a word.
The child's father hastily pulled him aside, suppressed a smile and said:
"Tong Yan Wuji, Mr. Zhan Zhai has a kind heart, so I hope you don't care about it."
Then he lowered his head and taught his children in a low voice:
"This is a secret recipe handed down from the family. It's not passed on to the outside world. How can you ask casually?"
It's just that this lesson didn't make Zhan Ao's complexion better, and his ashen complexion suddenly turned black...
Surrounded by the servants, the family of three moved forward quickly with their heads bowed, without the arrogance they used to have.They went to the yamen to ask to see the magistrate, it was hard to swallow their breath, they were old friends with the magistrate, so what's the use of Li Xun Huan being so powerful?Fame does not compete with officials, they always have a way to deal with him.
It's just that when they entered the government office, they saw the magistrate kneeling on the ground trembling. On the chief seat was a heroic man in white clothes, and beside him sat a man in purple robes. Both of them were graceful and handsome, with extraordinary handsome faces. , but it makes people feel scared when they look at it.
Seeing the three of them coming in and standing there blankly, the magistrate hurriedly shouted:
"Presumptuous, bold! You don't kneel down when you see His Majesty!"
The author has something to say: o(╯□╰)o Forgive the scumbag author, writing poetry and lyrics is very ordinary. . .In order to highlight our talents in Tanhua. .I can only let Mr. Zhan rub more and more~~~~
Thinking about this poem makes me laugh out loud. . . . . ~~ Zhan Ao wanted to engage in black box operations, but he didn't expect it to be made public. .Really happy to hear~~~
Daddy Yu made a mistake~ You don't leave comments for such a long chapter. . .Oh, I'm so lazy. . . . .
