    Just when the servant at the concierge told Pei Yuanying that Li Tang was coming, the servant whispered in his ear and at the same time told the details of the spy. He had already vaguely guessed the purpose of Li Tang's visit.  Louli's arrangements for Zhao Xiaowu can actually control the Chu family to a certain extent.

    Although the position of city gate guard is not big, the responsibility is very heavy, and Zhao Xiaowu is a newcomer who dared to stop the Chu family's car as soon as he took office.  He drank a pot, but he never expected Zhao Xiaowu to be such an awkward person. On the night Li Tang came back from Changsheng Mountain, Zhao Xiaowu stopped the car according to the law, but followed Li Tang after he had gone far away.  As soon as he followed, he got into big trouble, Pei Yuanying quickly sent people to investigate around his house, but apart from knowing that Zhao Xiaowu had a dream of joining the army, he found nothing, and this pawn was actually useless.

    It's just that after all, Pei Yuanying personally selected the person. If he gave it to Li Tang like this, he would be a little reluctant. If he was alone, I'm afraid he would not be able to deal with it. It happened that there were so many scholars around him, so he used this group  The scholar who recited poems all day long came to stop Li Tang's mouth, so as not to let Li Tang come so easily.

    Pei Yuanying glanced at the people in the hall, held up his wine glass and said to everyone: "Gentlemen, today coincides with the arrival of our carp talent Li Tang. To express his welcome, how about we toast him here?"

    "Colorful!"

    A group of scholars applauded Pei Yuanying's actions, raised their wine glasses to toast, and Li Tang also drank a glass. Li Tang, who rarely drank alcohol on weekdays, first tasted Gan's fierce Bai Yuluo and coughed after being choked, causing everyone to laugh at him  .

    "Gentlemen, since Li Jinli is here, why don't we take advantage of this banquet to do something that is also related to literati, such as drinking orders, what do you think?" Pei Yuanying glanced at the audience  Scholar, someone stood up immediately.

    "I'm waiting for everyone who has read poetry and books. I also heard that Li Jinli has read the classics of sages and sages since he was a child. Why don't we come to a poetry recital today? What do you think?"

    "Colorful!"

    Following the applause and approval of this way of serving wine, everyone began to discuss the rules of the poetry club. Finally, under Pei Yuanying's lecture, everyone got a unified opinion and adopted the traditional way of beating drums to pass flowers.  A lotus flower freshly picked from the outside pond was placed in front of a scholar, and a big drum was carried behind Pei Yuanying. During this time, Pei Yuanying was blindfolded and played the drum.  You have to stand up and compose a poem. If you can¡¯t say it, you will be fined three glasses of wine. If you speak well, you will be fined one glass of wine.

    With the clarification of the rules, Pei Yuanying began to beat the drums to spread flowers. I have to say that Pei Yuanying's rhythm background is not bad.  Huge and shocking, the lotus flower is passed rapidly in this drum music.

    "Stop!" As Pei Yuanying's drumstick stopped, the lotus flower fell in front of a scholar, who immediately got up and saluted everyone around him.

    "Since I am the first one, please listen carefully. The poem I wrote is related to this lotus flower. Please listen, everyone. It is mud in the world, so shameful to recognize it. The spring breeze blows on your face, and you are slim and straight.  .¡±

    "Okay! My talent and knowledge are insignificant dust. Thanks to Mr. Pei's appreciation, it's like a spring breeze blowing on my face. It seems that we can straighten our waists and be real scholars for a while, good!" Someone next to him started  Interpreting the meaning before and after this poem is all about flattering Pei Yuanying.

    "Haha, you are all talented people. As the old saying goes, gold always shines. Even without me, Pei Yuanying, there will be others who appreciate your talents. If you simply flatter me, it would be boring." Pei Yuanying immediately  He explained that Pei Yuanying's response from the public has been pretty good these years, thanks to his calmness and humility.

    "I am not talented, I will punish myself with a glass."

    As the scholar sat down, the drumming and passing of flowers continued. This time Pei Yuanying changed to a relatively gentle song, and the scholar was intoxicated by it. He didn't even notice that the lotus flower had been placed on his desk.  Following Pei Yuanying's call to stop, the scholar suddenly realized that the lotus was in front of him, so he had to stand up and recite poems.

    "I was attracted by Pei Gong's drum song just now, and I am still deeply intoxicated by it at the moment. Let's use this drum song as the title. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a shame.  In the dream, the soldiers waited for the Ming Dynasty, cutting off the wolves of foreign races. The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, a piece of beautiful mountains and rivers, some woman throws red embroidery, which attracts Erlang's soul."Colorful! There are generals with iron horses and women with red embroideries. I am a young man fighting for the country, and the woman is looking forward to a good boy. I will reconcile with Pei Gong's two drum music radially. It is well written!"

    Pei Yuanying on the side smiled and signaled, and the scholar sat down immediately, and everyone raised their glasses to congratulate, and Steward Wang, who was in charge of transcribing, also gave a thumbs up.

    As the drumming and passing of flowers is in full swing, there are also those literati who are greedy for wine. When the lotus flower is in their hands, they deliberately do not write poems, and then punish themselves with three cups.  Even unable to stand up, he had no choice but to speak drunkenly some poems that didn't make sense. The people who were still sober booed one after another, and the man just lay on the ground and fell asleep, causing everyone to laugh.

    However, the rumors did not fall in front of Li Tang. It was already dark outside. The lotus poetry meeting was going on from afternoon to night, and Li Tang was burning with anxiety. He also entrusted Zhao Xiaowu  Don't close the door and wait for yourself at night, and don't know if he has done what he said.

    Following Pei Yuanying's beating of the drum, the lotus flower, which was no longer as bright as it used to be, fell into Xie Wenyu's hands. Li Tang hurriedly motioned for him to throw it to him, so that he could pass it on to others as soon as possible, but Xie Wenyu didn't seem to understand.  As if she wanted to, she held the lotus flower and fiddled with the petals one by one. Following Pei Yuanying's call to stop, Xie Wenyu immediately threw the polished lotus flower on Li Tang's table, which made Li Tang look very embarrassed.  Staring at Xie Wenyu in astonishment, who knew that Xie Wenyu was smirking at this time, she did it sincerely.

    "Oh, I think all the talented people want to hear Li Jinli's literary talents, but this lotus flower seems to have grown legs and won't jump on Li Jinli's table. Now it's all right, I finally have the opportunity to listen to Li Jinli's poems, Li  Brother, it's your turn, so you can compose a poem with everyone, so as to satisfy everyone's expectations."

    Pei Yuanying stared at Li Tang with a smile on his face. Li Tang got up helplessly, and looked at several drunken literati around him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

    "Well, today's Lotus Poetry Club, the performance of the talented scholars really feasted my ears. I have listened to many masterpieces of learned people. Next, I will also compose a poem to show everyone."

    Hearing that Li Tang was about to compose a poem, the people who were most down on the ground were also shaken awake. At this moment, they were sitting at the table in disheveled clothes and with their breasts open.  Get ready for Li Tang's masterpiece.

    "When I first heard that Pei's family had guests, I rushed them to welcome them into my arms." As Li Tang spoke slowly, the scholars around him began to discuss, but only in low voices.

    "It's not a shocker in the world, half a layman and half a genius." The shocker is talking about a beautiful woman. Everyone present here is male, so naturally they have nothing to say, but the half layman half of the last sentence makes them very uncomfortable.  Solution, who is a laity?  Who is the wit?

    "Knowing that the white feathers are falling, drinking wine will relieve the jade belt." Everyone understood that this sentence was a mockery of those who drank too much and took off their clothes.

    "A lotus flower emerges from the mud, and jumps into the future without staining the dust of clothes."

    As soon as Li Tang's eight lines of poems were finished, someone stood up and blamed Li Tang, "Li Tang, what do you mean, who is the mud, who is the lotus, we are all talented people who have read poetry and books, and who is that?"  You are ordinary people, Mr. Pei understands the righteousness and treats me and poor scholars with courtesy, but you say that you are driven out to welcome you, what do you mean by that!"

    As soon as the words hit the floor, the whole room erupted, accusing Li Tang of being noble. Most of the literati were aloof, and they were a little bit innocent, but being ridiculed like this made him feel unhappy. Seeing that he had become the target of public criticism, Li Tang turned around and looked at him.  Looking at Pei Yuanying, Pei Yuanying showed embarrassment. He thought that he still couldn't hide it from Li Tang, but he still treated each other with courtesy, and was still humiliated by Li Tang's eight-line poem.

    Li Tang immediately raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "I will punish myself with three glasses." After saying that, the three glasses of wine entered his stomach, and he gave a deep salute to Pei Yuanying, and said, "Second brother, my younger brother is too drunk and already drunk  , step back for the time being."

    Pei Yuanying thought about it, and immediately stood up and shouted: "It's getting late, Brother Li, please stay at my house tonight!"

    However, Li Tang had already taken Xie Wenyu away. On the way, Xie Wenyu said: "A lotus flower emerges from the mud and jumps into the future without staining the dust of clothes. As soon as you go out, this lotus flower jumps out. You are really shameless.  In the end, I sold myself and boasted."

    "I can't help it. If you don't say that, can we go? You didn't look at the appearance of those scholars. Hearing good poems is like a wild wolf seeing a rabbit. They are eager to drink. This group of people are full of wine and food.  Holding bad feet behind Pei Yuanying has completely lost my character as a literati, it¡¯s better when I was in Xinglin Academy, the teacher Huang Zongxi taught us to plan for the family and the country, and the scholars there are all proud and heroic.¡±

    "This damn Pei Yuanying, it's really annoying to talk about my embarrassment in front of so many people today."

    "Huh? Is it possible that this is still true? I thought he deliberately made things difficult for you."

    Xie Wenyu's face was flushed, but Li Tang couldn't find him at night, so he punched Li Tang with his powder fist, and asked, "Where shall we go next?"

    "Let's go, let's go find Zhao Xiaowu. If nothing else happens, the person I'm waiting for hasn't arrived yet."??We plan for our family, country and the world, and the scholars inside are all proud and heroic.  "

    "This damn Pei Yuanying, it's really annoying to talk about my embarrassment in front of so many people today."

    "Huh? Is it possible that this is still true? I thought he deliberately made things difficult for you."

    Xie Wenyu's face was flushed, but Li Tang couldn't find him at night, so he punched Li Tang with his powder fist, and asked, "Where shall we go next?"

    "Let's go, let's go find Zhao Xiaowu. If there is no accident, the person I am waiting for has not arrived yet. ?
