Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xu Xian felt a little bored, so he went out alone to explore the secluded places to relax his mind. However, when he encountered something like this, he had known he would never come.  But now I have to borrow someone else's boat to go back, so I just have a seat at the table.  He said, "Sorry for disturbing you." He took a seat in the corner and sat down.

    Jin Shengjie refused to let him go, "I came to Hangzhou and invited famous people all over the place, but I heard that Brother Xu lives in Qiantang, so I didn't invite them. Today is such a great fate, I'll toast you first."

    Xu Xian didn¡¯t say much and drank with a smile.

    Jin Shengjie smiled and said, "It's your turn now."

    Xu Xian asked strangely: "Why is it my turn?"

    "Recite poems. I agreed before the banquet that if you want to sit down, you must first write a poem about the heavy snow. And there cannot be a single word snow in the poem. Mr. Xu is a great talent, so there must be no problem.  !" Jin Shengjie deliberately wanted to test Xu Xian. During the banquet, he just ate and drank, and did not recite any poems to open the banquet.  The people next to him didn't expose him, they just watched the fun.

    Xu Xian sighed in his heart: I knew it.

    Without giving up, he said: "Here comes the poem." The people at the table were greatly surprised. Although this question could not be said to be extremely difficult, it did not come so easily. Jin Shengjie was also curious about what kind of poem Xu Xian could recite.

    Xu Xian played with the cup in his hand and said with a strange smile on his face: "There is an image on the lake, a black hole on the well, white on the yellow dog, and swollen on the white dog."

    "Hahaha" everyone roared with laughter, Wen Wu was the first, and Wu Wu was the second.  Is there anyone here who is convinced by Xu Xian, the leader of the four young talents in Jiangnan?  Seeing him coming, the arrogant and unruly Mr. Jin was so polite. Xia Ziqi was not the only one who was dissatisfied.  At this time, he didn't laugh out loud and let out this bad breath.

    Xu Xian played with the wine glass in his hand, looked at the laughing faces of everyone, and cast his eyes boredly into the snowflakes in the sky outside the pavilion.  The world is vast, and this person like Xiao Xiao is nothing compared to it. He himself is not aware of it yet, but a sense of indifference spreads in his heart and gradually penetrates into his bones.

    "Okay!" A sudden shout broke the laughter, and Jin Shengjie slammed the table, startling everyone.  "There is no word for snow, the meaning of snow is full of it, and he is witty and wise, not falling behind the vulgarity. Brother Xu is indeed a great talent."

    Xu Xianxin said: This Jin Shengjie is quite talented.  The poem he recited can be regarded as the originator of limericks. Although it is not in the same standard, its value has been proved by its ability to be passed down through the ages.  At this moment, he just cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

    Seeing everyone drinking and talking, Xu Xian couldn't help but think of Pan Yu, but now the protagonist was replaced by Jin Shengjie.  It's just that he doesn't have Mingyu's ability to be smooth and smooth, and let everyone feel like they're in the spring breeze. Instead, he's crazy and willful, as if he has thorns in his body.  Although he is good at joking, he never underestimates other people's feelings when joking. However, after several bursts of laughter, the atmosphere became very lively.

    But one thing he has in common with Pan Yu is that everyone wants to fawn over him.  The Great Xia Dynasty did not suppress business, but instead encouraged it. Although the status of businessmen could not be higher than that of scholars, it was only second to them.  The richest man in Jiangnan, Kim Wan-sung, is not just an ordinary businessman. Collusion between government and business is not a term that was coined in modern times.

    A group of men, even if they are scholars, chatting together and drinking some wine, the topic will always turn to that aspect involuntarily.  When talking about visiting prostitutes and staying with prostitutes, oh, in their words, sleeping flowers and staying in willows, their faces are all red with excitement.

    Xia Ziqi said: "Brother Jin, I have heard about the famous names of Yangzhou Shiyan for a long time. You must have tasted them all!"

    Another red-faced scholar echoed: "Not only Shi Yan, but didn't you know that Miss Su Wansu, the oiran from Yangzhou last year, became a member of Brother Jin's room? That's why I heard that Brother Jin did not participate in the first snow test this time.  If he participates." He wanted to say, "He will be the number one talent in Jiangnan." But he was still worried that this would reach Pan Yu, so he froze there, and then had an idea: "I'll put it above those four young talents."  "

    Jin Shengjie blinked and said jokingly: "I'm afraid I'm the first of these four young talents from Jiangnan!"

    Xu Xian, the current leader of the Four Young Talents in Jiangnan, burst out laughing.

    Xia Ziqi immediately asked: "Brother Xu, why are you laughing? We all admire Mr. Jin's talent and learning."

    Xu Xian smiled and shook his head and said, "I never meant to make fun of Brother Jin, I just suddenly remembered something."

    Jin Shengjie asked curiously: "What's the matter?" He was humorous and was more interested in interesting things than poetry.

    Xu Xian coughed twice, cleared his throat and said: "The wasp and the mouse are sworn brothers. Please go over and make a pledge of alliance. I have no choice but to be listed as the third person. My friend asked me: How can I be listed below the rats?"

    Jin Shengjie received the question with great interest: "Why?"

    "One of them knows how to drill and the other knows how to stab. I can only let them go."

      Jin Shengjie immediately burst into laughter. Xia Ziqi and the red-faced scholar looked ashamed and stared at Xu Xian fiercely.  Xu Xian didn't care. He poured himself a glass and drank it slowly.

    Someone else tried to smooth things over by saying, "Brother Jin has been in Yangzhou for a long time, and he just came to Hangzhou today. I don't know what the scenery is like. Compared with Hangzhou, which one is better or worse?"

    Jin Shengjie thought for a while, as if he was nostalgic for his former romantic days, with an intoxicated look on his face: "A thousand dollars buys a smile, and we sing and dance every night. Either get drunk and enjoy the sweet dream tonight, or write lyrics for Yingkou to sing in a low voice, it is really heaven.  Average. Although Hangzhou is called a paradise on earth, it is nothing more than green mountains and green waters, which are much worse than the scenery in Yangzhou. I¡¯m afraid this Caifeng girl can¡¯t live up to her reputation!¡±

    ??Everyone here is from Hangzhou. The more ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient, the stronger the sense of regionalism.  Hearing what Jin Shengjie said, everyone looked stern, but no one refuted it, and it was a bit cold for a while.

    But I heard someone chant: "If you quit your job, you'll have a dream of a brothel, but it's hard to be affectionate." Xu Xian was shaking his head and lamenting.

    Jin Shengjie was startled and was about to say something when he heard the young man in Tsing Yi call out: "Miss Caifeng is here."

    Everyone straightened up and looked, and saw a painted boat coming out of the snow and stopping at the shore.  A woman in green clothes came out and said: "It's snowing heavily outside, please get on the boat."

    Jin Shengjie smiled and said: "This Miss Caifeng has a very big air. It seems that our banquet will have to be changed three times."

    Xu Xian stood up and said, "Mr. Jin, I won't go. Please lend me your boat to take me back!"

    Jin Shengjie came to hold Xu Xiian and said, "How about that? Those three sentences of yours are extremely subtle. I want to ask you for advice again!"

    "A thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend, and half a sentence is enough to talk without speculation." Xu Xian and this group of people basically talk without speculation, but Jin Shengjie, who is full of sharpness, seems a little more interesting.  But he didn't want to join in the fun, so he persisted.  Jin Shengjie had no choice but to order his boatman to take Xu Xian to the shore, but when Xu Xiang was about to board the boat, he pulled him back again.

    Turning around, Jin Shengjie winked, "There are poems for entering and leaving, of course. If Brother Xu can recite it, I will give it up. If he can't recite it, I will let my ship sail far away immediately. You have to finish this banquet with me."  No."

    Xu Xian knew that this dandy was going too far and he couldn't pull him back. "What kind of chanting technique do you want?"

    Jin Shengjie smiled and said: "Since you say Hangzhou is good, you will use this as the title. I have to be satisfied. But I won't make it difficult for you. If you can't sing a sentence, I will let you go." Take Hangzhou.  Anyone can come to recite poetry, but it is really difficult to satisfy him.  But if you can't recite the name of a scholar even in Hangzhou, that would be a big embarrassment.

    Xu Xian hesitated for a moment. The scholars who were waiting to board the boat were impatient, but Jin Shengjie, the host, couldn't get on the boat. How could they get on? It would cost a lot to invite Cai Feng to the boat.

    Caifeng asked through the curtains in the boat: "Qingluan, why don't they come up? Do you want me to invite them?"

    Qingluan turned around and whispered: "Miss, it's Xu Xian who cheated. Are they forcing him to recite poetry? Let's wait and see how he embarrasses himself." Her resentment towards Pan Yu and Xu Xian was quite deep.

    Xu Xian thought for a while and said with a smile: "I can't recite poetry." When Jin Shengjie was stunned, he broke away from his hand and jumped on the boat.

    Jin Shengjie said with a sullen face: "That's it, that's all, let's send this vulgar thing away." He ordered the boatman to sail.  Qingluan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "He is indeed a idiot."

    The ship slowly sailed away, and Xu Xian stood on the deck and said with a smile: "There is a poem."

    Everyone¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but be drawn to him again.  Xia Ziqi couldn't help but think of the first time he met Xu Xian. Although Xu Xian was magnanimous at that time, it didn't leave a big impression on him.

    The figure with flying clothes in the wind and snow has become so flying without knowing when.

    "The southeast is beautiful, the three Wu metropolises, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Smoked willows draw bridges, wind curtains are green, and there are hundreds of thousands of homes. Clouds and trees surround the dike and sand. Raging waves roll up frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is lined with pearls, and the houses are full of flowers.  , competing for luxury.

    Heavy lake stacked Qingjia.  There are osmanthus seeds in three autumns and lotus flowers in ten miles.  The Qiang pipe clears the sky, the watermelon song fills the night, and the old lotus babies play and fish.  Thousands of horses and tall teeth.  Get drunk and listen to the drums and chant the haze.  There will be good times in the future, go back to Fengchi to boast.  "

    The sound of chanting reached everyone's ears through the wind and snow. The man on the boat disappeared amidst the sound of wind, snow and chanting, and finally he was vaguely seen disappearing from the bow of the ship with his hands raised.
