Invincible son

Chapter 239 238 [Spring Night]

The nine-storey building is named Chaofeng, which is in contrast to the sea-viewing building next to it, which is only half the height, which means "viewing the sea with the help of the Chaofeng".

According to the building regulations of Daliang, painted buildings and Zhuqian beams and columns are not allowed for non-palaces and temples.However, this Chaofeng building has a stacked structure as the main structure, with double eaves, draped eaves and auxiliary steps. It is surrounded by heavy arches and built-in caissons. It is also decorated with green and green eaves.

Perhaps it is because the entire Xingyang City retains the traces of the pre-Wei period, so the second building of Chaofeng and Guanhai, which was built hundreds of years ago, has been preserved with the acquiescence of the Daliang court, and has not attracted people because of violation of regulations. Impeach.

Thanks to the reputation of the Furong Banquet, the business of Qiujiang Building is very good, and there are many people who come here for the name, so they can afford to spend money to repair these two buildings, so that they are well preserved, so that Pei Yue can appreciate the uniqueness of the soul. State style.

When Pei Yue stepped into the building, he was surprised. From the outside, the building was already huge, but when he entered the inside, he could feel the spaciousness and depth of the space.He knows how difficult it is to build such a "building" with the technological level of this era, so he can't help but feel a little respect.

Inside the building, a maidservant in Tsing Yi greeted her. Pei Yue and Qin Xu followed her through the gallery and came to the lobby on the first floor, where the famous Autumn River Furong Banquet was unveiled.

The moment he walked into the lobby, Pei Yue even had an illusion, as if he had gone back to the terrible scene of taking the college entrance examination in his previous life.

Many people have gathered here, most of them are wealthy businessmen and officials of relatively low rank from various places in Lingzhou from the appearance of clothing.Dozens of long tables are placed in the hall, with paper, ink, pens and inkstones on the tables, and the maidservants in Tsing Yi wait on the side.These people are either sitting or standing, most of them are staring at each other in deep thought, while some are standing at the table with a brush in their hands but do not move for a long time.

There is a table in the north, a young woman sits behind the table, and two green-clothed maids stand beside her.

The maidservant in Tsing Yi who led the two of them in looked back and smiled and said, "Masters, that is the master of this floor, Miss Jinshu from Yuanzhang Pavilion. Today's rules, the two adults need to write a word on the spot, regardless of the length of the content. You can use Furong as the topic. After Miss Jinshu's evaluation, if you get an above-average evaluation, you can go to the second floor."

Qin Xu said leisurely: "What a unique idea."

Pei Yue just wanted to slap him, how unique is this way?Isn't it just a means to manipulate people?Could it be that this old brother Qin has some unique hobby, and he is so happy.

Previously, when the imperial guard of honor came to Xingyang City, it was presided over by the governor of Lingzhou, greeted by the prefect of Xingyang, and hundreds of officials, big and small, came out of the city to meet them.Pei Yue only showed his face at the welcome ceremony, and then stayed in the imperial envoy's office, and did not participate in any banquets, so not many people knew him.But these days, Qin Xu, as an imperial envoy, has been a frequent visitor at various banquets and has a very good reputation. At this moment, many people in the hall came forward to pay respects.

Anyone who can enter the Chaofeng Tower is a human being, and he can guess his identity just by looking at Qin Xu's calm and composed Pei Yue, so naturally there will be no drama of deliberate collision.After saluting to Qin Xu, these people turned to Pei Yue again, and respectfully stepped forward to salute.

Relatively speaking, the status of these people who are still on the first floor is low. Even though Cheng Siqing said that there is no distinction between high and low today, how can the beam in people's hearts be easily pulled out.They thought to themselves that they were not qualified enough to chat and laugh in front of the imperial envoy, and after seeing the ceremony, they retreated wisely.

Pei Yue looked at the young woman in the north, that is, the Oiran Jinshu of Yuanzhang Pavilion, and said in a low voice, "Master Qin, why do I think this hibiscus banquet is a little weird?"

Qin Xu froze, "How weird?"

Pei Yue said bluntly: "It's a bit strange for a banquet of this size to be hosted by a group of brothels. Now it's even more strange to have these courtesans serve as examiners to test these high-ranking officials and nobles. Isn't it weird?"

Qin Xu couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be that Brother Pei looks down on these courtesans?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "It's not that I look down upon it, but I really haven't seen such a scene before."

Seeing his gentle eyes, Qin Xu was relieved. He was really afraid that the young Wu Xun would play his temper on the spot, so he explained: "There are customs in different places. Although these women live in prostitution, they can always be called clean , not the kind of crazy bees and butterflies. To become an oiran, you need not only beauty, but also talent and character. What's more, the hibiscus feast itself is the characteristic of Qiujiang Pond, and there is no second pool so full in the West In a place where lotus blooms, the government cannot do things like burning cranes and cooking zithers, are you right?"

Seeing the spring look on the face of this old flower busher, Pei Yue felt quite helpless, knowing that the two of them had completely different thinking logics from different worlds, and they couldn't talk together at all, so he had to give up his plan to investigate the strangeness in it.

Qin Xu said again: "As for the school examination, it's just an act of elegance. Why do you, this Jinshu girl, only let people write a word in hand, instead of writing a question to limit the rhyme? Isn't it just because you are worried that some people are not good at this? , but people have to continue to climb the building, so it is so broad."

Pei Yue suddenly realized that it was just a play after all.

Qin Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you only write one word, that Jinshu girl will only praise you for your good writing."

The two came to the same table respectively, and Qin Xu picked up the pen in one go. Even though he didn't have the calligraphy skills of his ancestor Qin Siyuan, it was enough to deal with this kind of occasion.After putting down the pen, he asked the young maidservant in Tsing Yi to give his handwriting to the oiran brocade book, then turned to look at Pei Yue, thinking that the young Wu Xun must be worried, but unexpectedly the other party's movements were not much slower than him.

The words of the two imperial envoys were sent to the brocade at the same time, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Jin Shu looked at Qin Xu's handwriting first, his eyes lit up with joy as soon as he looked at it, and sighed: "Master Qin's handwriting is thick and strong, and he is good at using the center strokes. Quite prosperous, the little girl admired it."

Listening to the soft-spoken praise of the oiran, Qin Xu felt his bones lighten a little. Fortunately, he finally remembered his identity and did not show his ugly face in public.

Such a result was not beyond the expectations of others, and no matter how real Qin Xu was, as long as the name of his ancestor was mentioned, it was impossible for Jin Shu to say anything derogatory.When she continued to pick up Pei Yue's handwriting, not only Qin Xu and other people in the hall, but even the maidservants in blue couldn't help looking at her.

If Pei Qin is not sent, the Furong Banquet will not be held. This saying has already spread throughout Xingyang City.

Everyone knows that Pei Yue is a young martial artist who has made a lot of achievements in martial arts, so can he handle this kind of literary work now?
Jin Shu was also very curious. She was one of the Nine Great Masters and knew a little more than others. She was very curious about what kind of words this young Viscount would write.

Looking intently at Xuelangzhi in front of her, Jin Shu's pretty face blushed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Embarrassed, Jin Shu hurriedly covered the piece of paper, bowed his head and said, "My lords, please go upstairs."

This is the meaning of passing. For everyone in the hall, they had already prepared in their hearts. No matter what Pei Yue wrote, it was impossible for the two imperial envoys to stay on the first floor.What they were curious about was, what exactly did Pei Yue write, so that the always quiet and elegant Jinshu girl was ashamed like this?
Could it be that he really hides his secrets and is actually a generation of calligraphers?
Or maybe this person is so talented that he hastily wrote beautiful sentences that last through the ages?
However, Jin Shu didn't say anything, but handed Qin Xu's and Pei Yue's words to the green-clothed maids behind him, and asked them to keep them carefully.

There was only one slightly weird movement, she inadvertently helped Zhu Chai on her head.

Everyone felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts, and it turned out that curiosity is the most harmful.

Pei Yue didn't bother to pay attention to them, and walked to the other side of the stairs first.

Qin Xu followed quickly, and couldn't help asking when he went upstairs: "Brother Pei, what did you write?"

"It's just a poem I heard." Pei Yue looked calm, and whispered softly: "The flowers on the temples are beautiful and golden, and the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night."

Qin Xu was stunned.
