Chapter 29: Siblings and Ma Ziliang
Xu Gou'er held Xu Jie's knife and squeezed out of the crowd again, saying, "Young Master, this is the proposition."
When Xu Jie heard this, he looked up and saw a servant coming down from the boat. He said a name from his mouth. A scholar was overjoyed. He followed the servant to the board, and there was a servant behind him.
Seeing this, Xu Jie said: "Go, go ahead and get a pen and paper. Today I will take you on the boat to see the world."
It turned out that the reason why Xu Jie decided to get on the boat in the end was that the person in front of him was not on the same person, but on the boat with his servants. In this way, Xu Jie could also take Yun Shuhuan and Xu Gouer.
Xu Gou'er heard Xu Jie say he wanted to take him on the boat to see him, but there was no place he was reluctant to do so, so he squeezed into the crowd. At this time, more and more people were around him. Xu Gou'er wanted to squeeze in, but it really took some effort.
Four lines of the poem: The clouds and sky roll and the waves are colorful, and the rice and apple blossoms are like hometown. When I first arrived, I had not yet obtained the return, and I thought about the beautiful wind and the bright moon.
This poem actually comes from a broken sentence. Xu Jie couldn't remember where he got it. So after he made up for it, he changed it and became a poem. The roe is the water of the lake. Even if you see the scene in the lake, it is no different from the scene in the water of the hometown. However, when you got here just now, you can't go back home. When you think about the wind and the bright moon, you will feel a little free and easy.
This poem is naturally aboard the boat.
If the pleasure boat is smaller than those teahouses, it is actually smaller. There is a small hall in the middle of the deck, which is the place to entertain tonight.
Xu Jie entered the small hall and looked around. There were only six tables in total. There was a small table in front of him, which was only four or five steps in square foot. If it was on the second floor, there was a private room, which was the boudoir, where everyone was alone with Na Yan. It was even possible to have a love affair.
However, Xu Jie probably knew that a courtesan like Yan would not really give people a love for their lovers. If they had a love for their lovers, their value would plummet, and they would not be able to do such a way of poetry marketing.
Most of the real courtesans are like this. The more you are, the more you are worth, the more you will be more energetic. However, most of the years of youth and the land of wandering in the dust are still miserable after all, and they are not as safe and stable as a good woman in her life.
There were already three tables in the small hall. Xu Jie took Yun Shuhuan and Xu Gouer to sit on the second one on the right. A table table was owned by one person. The table table was divided into sizes. The one in front was the owner sitting and the one in the back was the follower sitting. The other two tables were obviously acquaintances and were still chatting with each other. Be kind.
Xu Jie naturally did not know these scholars from Dajiang, so he stopped talking.
At this time, a servant came forward, and a piece of paper in his hand was the menu. The servant was still introducing tea, fruits, snacks, side dishes, and wine to Xu Jie. Obviously, the servant was also very good at it, knowing who is the fresh guest, who is a regular guest, who needs to be introduced, and who does not need to be introduced.
The price was clearly marked, but the price was not expensive. Xu Gouer murmured: "It turns out to be a good deal, but it turns out to be a store that slaughters people."
Xu Gouer's words made the servant frown, but he didn't say anything. Obviously, he often encountered this situation, so he was no wonder. However, he also knew that the literary figures were so good that they could not be embarrassed on Yan Jia's pleasure boat. If you can afford to spend this money, you have to spend it.
Just because Yan Jiao is the number one flower courtesy of Dajiang, even Sun Sichao, the governor of Dajiang County, once filled in the lyrics for him. Yan Jiao’s pleasure boat is the so-called famous scholars, but there are masterpieces that are loved by Yan Jiao every day and sung every day. It is difficult to be famous in Dajiang City.
Famous scholars are also such famous scholars. If they become famous, they will naturally have benefits. Not to mention the facial matters, even when participating in the imperial examination, the rankings can also give the examiners an impression. If you like mountains and rivers and don’t want to be a court, then it will be even more of a celebrity.
Xu Jie heard Xu Gouer murmuring, shook his head and smiled slightly, and then spoke to the servant: "Wine comes with a pot of Shaoxing Huadiao, tea comes with a pot of Hangzhou Longjing, you can see the snacks and side dishes."
When Xu Jie got on this ship, he obviously knew that although there was no clear price for the ship, he used poetry as a ticket, but he would inevitably have to spend some money when he got on the ship. After all, the people who drove the pleasure boat were just to make money.
When the servant heard this, he smiled. He thought that the young master might hesitate and order something to support the scene. He didn't expect that the young master was really generous and ordered the best, and the snacks were arranged casually. He quickly said, "Young Master, you are extraordinary at first glance. The wine and tea in Jiangnan are the best. Our Huadiao and Longjing are all authentic Jiangnan products, unlike other families who use inferior products as good ones. Every autumn, we all go to Jiangnan to communicate with the scholars in Jiangnan for two months, and buy some good wine and tea back. Please taste it later."
Obviously, the literary style of Jiangnan is at its peak, and scholars in Jiangnan are the weather vanes of scholars in the world, and the east and west of Jiangnan are rising.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Huazhuo is not a good wine, it is too bland. Longjing is a good tea."
The servant was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled again and said, "Young Master, you have a very good taste. I'll wait for a while. I'll go to Longjing first."
Is Huadiao a good wine? Naturally, everyone has their own preferences for carrots and cabbage. Obviously, Xu Jie still prefers the kind brewed in the countryside, the kind that can burn the throat.
There were more and more people on board, but most of them seemed to know each other. Even if there were unfamiliar ones, they would introduce them. There seemed to be acquaintances in the hall.
Only Xu Jie sat upright, and there was no familiar person. But he also knew that those who could get on the boat today were somewhat talented. Not to mention how good his literary talent was, at least he was above average.
Five tables were already full, and another person was on the way, and the pleasure boat was about to leave the pier and head into the lake. Naturally, everyone in Yan was about to come out to meet guests.
But it was the one who got on the boat again that surprised Xu Jie.
The two young men looked familiar no matter how they looked. Xu Jie turned around and looked at Yun Shuhuan. Seeing that Yun Shuhuan was also looking at the two new people sitting on a table, he laughed.
Seeing Xu Jie laughing like this, Yun Shuhuan said, "The ship has left the shore."
Xu Jie laughed even more when he heard this. Yun Shuhuan's meaning was to tell Xu Jie not to expose the fact that he was disguised as a man, and then expose the woman, which made the woman embarrassed, and she couldn't even leave.
Xu Jie replied: "If there is no old man here to sing erhu lyrics and erotic songs, there is no need to seek the fun to drive people away."
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he turned around and saw a young man walking in front of him, bowed and said, "Hey, it's Brother Xu. I thought I had admitted my mistake just now. I can see Brother Xu again here. I'm lucky! I was so absurd last time, so I hope I won't blame you for your crime."
Xu Jie didn't expect that the Irving summit would come to say hello, and also stood up and bowed, and smiled and said, "Brother Ou is so angry. Last time he was in Qingshan, he was also in a custody. Your brother didn't come up when he met an acquaintance, but was he still angry that day?"
When Owenfeng heard this, his face became embarrassed, and then he smiled again and leaned forward, waved his hands and whispered: "Forgive Brother Xu, Sister Rong will see the world today, don't expose it again."
Xu Jie nodded when he heard this, looked at the third table opposite. After this, Ou Qing, who was disguised as a man, buried her face.
Xu Jie quickly withdrew his eyes and said, "Last time, I asked Brother Ou to compensate your brother for me."
When Owenfeng heard this, he felt much more relaxed, and he became more enthusiastic. He said, "When Brother Xu sees me, I will sit with my brother for a while first, and bring Brother Xu's words. After the wine comes, I will drink with Brother Xu."
After Owenfeng said this, he bowed his hand, and Xu Jie also returned the gift.
After Owenfeng returned to sit down, Xu Jie also realized that Owenfeng was not familiar with everyone present, and no one came forward to greet him. This was somewhat unexpected. Logically speaking, Owenfeng should be a child of a wealthy family in Dajiang City, and he could learn writing poems, so he should have an interaction with everyone present.
Not long after, Owenfeng came over with a glass of wine and smiled and said, "My brother asked me to give me a cup of Brother Xu and said what Brother Xu said that day. My brother came back and thought about it for a long time, and felt it was very reasonable. It is really undesirable to force the words to write new poems. Yang Lixin of Jiangnan fell into a bad state."
Xu Jie didn't expect that Ou Qing would say this, so he picked up the wine glass. Seeing Ou Qing looking at him on the other side, he took the wine glass and signaled it to him, and then he drank it all with Ou Wenfeng.
After drinking, he spoke again: "Your brother is really extraordinary. He can put aside the gorgeous words and look at the essence of poetry. I think the level of poetry is also excellent. If you are lucky in the future, you should have a chance to have a few questions."
When Owenfeng heard Xu Jie praise his sister, he smiled as if he was praising him, and said, "Brother Xu, I'll bring you words here."
After saying that, Owenfeng turned around and returned.
After Owenfeng sat down and whispered with Ou Qing for a few words, Owenfeng suddenly said loudly: "Brother Xu, my brother said that today's opportunity is right."
Xu Jie nodded and smiled when he heard this, exuding the last bit of sunset outside the cabin. He looked at the woman named Ou Qing, with red lips and white teeth, a small and perky nose, and a watery and spiritual eyes. He was really beautiful.
But the face that deliberately blackened a little bit was a bit bad. Last time I met, I was so white that I was tightly white. This time I deliberately blackened it, obviously I learned from the experience I saw by Xu Jie at a glance. If Xu Jie approached, I would find that there was no smell of powder left on Ou Qing's body. It was really a pity that he had learned from his mistakes.
Suddenly, Xu Jie's eyes were attracted by the first table opposite, and he saw a man taking out a paper bag from his arms. After opening it, it was the yellow and white powder, which was the Wushi San that Xu Jie had seen before boarding the boat.
This scene made Xu Jie frown. The man even made several generous moves and got up to separate a few acquaintances.
He even walked to Xu Jie and said, "This brother, I'm lucky to be dismounted by Ziliang."
It is normal for literati to say hello like this, but they are all friends. This is the procedure. However, Xu Jie lost the desire to make friends when he looked at the Five Stones in Wu Ziliang's hand. He just said coldly: "Xu Jie Qingshan!"
Ma Ziliang originally wanted to come forward to make friends with this man with two sabre followers. Seeing that the man was cold and cold, he showed an unhappy expression. He flicked his sleeves and said nothing more, turned around and headed toward the Owen Peak.
Irving Peak is naturally extremely polite and honest to return the gifts.
Then he heard Ma Ziliang say, "Brother Ou, you are a native of Dajiang. I have never seen him before. Today I have a chance to gather in Yan’s pleasure boat and drink a few drinks later. I will be friends in the future."
Owenfeng also said politely: "It is also a blessing to be able to meet Brother Ma."
