Idle courtiers

Chapter 153
Seeing that the scholars had dispersed, Zhou Nan spread his hands towards Zi Xiao: "Miss Zi Xiao, you can see that they are leaving by themselves, so you can't blame me for disturbing your business."

"Why don't you blame me, just blame you!" Zi Xiao said coquettishly, "You have to pay me?"

Zhou Nan punched her twice, feeling a little numb in his bones, and said with a smile: "My lord has a breeze in his sleeves, as bright as a mirror, as clear as water, but there is no money to pay for it."

"Then pay me a poem."

"I messed up the girl's collection, where only one poem is enough, no matter what, I have to ask the girl to punish me severely to relieve my guilt. For example...flesh compensation."

"You are still a well-known talent, why do you speak so vulgarly?" Zi Xiao giggled, her pretty face flushed slightly.

After entering her room, another table of wine and food was ordered.

Zi Xiao poured a glass of wine for Zhou Nan, handed it to Zhou Nan, and said softly: "Isn't your lord going to make an apology for Zi Xiao's poems, why don't you do it quickly? Two good musicians have just arrived in the building, and they will be ready soon." Ask him to compose a song, and my servant will sing it to you."

Zhou Nan put his arms around her small waist and said happily, "My lord, the number one talented scholar in Huaizuo, asks me to write a poem for you if you want to spend a glass of wine. Where is such a cheap thing in the world?"

Zi Xiao pursed his mouth and said softly: "Didn't they say to pay with flesh?"

Seeing the small bright red cherry mouth, how could Zhou Nan hold it back, and said with a smile: "I am the one talking about meat compensation, what's the matter with you? That's all right, you feed me a sip of wine with your mouth, and I'll write a poem." , I don’t know what the girl’s topic is?”

Zi Xiao was even more shy, she was happy, and said: "The musician invited in the building has just composed a song "Changxin Palace", you might as well use it as the title."

As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and put it into Zhou Nan's mouth.

The ancient poem card of "Changxin Palace" is an ancient poem with five characters.Among them, the most famous one is "Who pities the concubines with fans and sits alone and resents the autumn wind?" written by Li Bai.

After taking a sip of wine, Zhou Nan read aloud: "The jade table is put on makeup and no one sees it, and the sad air hurts the round fan."

After taking another sip of wine, Zhou Nan was overjoyed to feel the sweet concubine's tongue, and continued to read: "The autumn grass tends to grow in the Xingong Palace, and the spring breeze is only in the Zhaoyang Palace."

"In the palace, the king's wine is half-smoked, and there are many disputes about singing and dancing."

"Three thousand brocade tents are fragrant with musk deer, and twelve long skirts are scattered with colorful clouds."

……

"What a three-thousand brocade tent is fragrant and musk, and twelve long skirts are scattered with colorful clouds." How could Zi Xiao not know the beauty of this poem?It seems that there is a white-clothed boy sighing in the long street with his hands behind his back, the crown is covered with flowers, and he is alone and haggard.

If this poem is composed into music, it may spread in the city in a few days.

A romantic woman like her is like a movie star of later generations, who needs to constantly release new songs.You can't sing a song for a lifetime, otherwise, you will easily be shot to death on the beach by a newcomer.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is necessary to always create hot spots on the headlines.

Huai'an's most romantic talent and good poetry, these two hotspots alone can make his reputation even better.

Zi Xiao's family knows her own affairs, and because of her small stature, she is inherently inferior to her peers in appearance.The reason why there is a vague trend of Huai'an Huakui nowadays is not because of Zhou Nan's poem back then.However, it is not a solution to sing a poem thousands of times and keep singing it.Therefore, she repeatedly sent people to invite Zhou Nan, but unfortunately they were all rejected.

Today Zhou Nan came over, and there was such a wonderful new work, Zi Xiao was delighted, and seeing the handsome and tall man in front of him, he couldn't feel his emotion.

Seeing Zi Xiao's tender face, his chest trembled slightly due to excitement.Zhou Nan didn't take it seriously. To be honest, he copied this poem from an unknown poet in the Qing Dynasty, and it wasn't very good.The only advantage is that it is simple and straightforward, catchy and suitable for lyrics.

Just such a five-character song that can only score [-] points makes you so excited?

On second thought, yes, the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the era of novels.Take the former seven sons and the last seven sons who stood at the pinnacle of the poetry circle in the Ming Dynasty as an example, their works are really not very good.In comparison, this "Changxin Palace" is considered a masterpiece, no wonder Zixiao is so excited.It's as if a third-rate singer in the later generations suddenly got a song that is about to become a big hit, and the star road is wide.

Just about to continue reading, Concubine Zi Xiao's tongue stirred.

How could Zhou Nan hold her back, picked her up and threw her on the bed: "What a Zixiao girl, for being so dishonest, let's see how my lord punishes you severely today."

Zi Xiao shyly covered her face with her hands: "I beg your lord to have mercy."

Zhou Nan: "There is no one among the crowd like jade, new clothes are gorgeous and red candles... Don't allow the cold crows to sing with the moon, for fear that the spring swallows will bring flowers. Whoever pities a long night dream is hard to come by, but a sudden wandering warbler seems to be successful. A month Hanging high above the sky, Qianqiu should take care of my concubine's heart... Huh..."

After the poem was completed, I recited it twenty or thirty times, and finally reached the great harmony of life.

Zhou Nan only felt that his body and mind were at peace. After finishing the work, he remembered the business and said, "Miss Zixiao. The criminal court will hold a banquet for Zhu Xunyan later. This Xunyan is a new scholar, a famous talent, so why not entertain him?" , must make him feel at home, you ask the madam to prepare in advance."

Zi Xiao was covered in sweat, and the skin on his body had turned an attractive pink color due to the conquest.Shamely said: "Master Zhou, how can I meet people in this state? He will only accompany you. I don't care if he is the governor or the governor. I won't see him."

"Okay, okay, business is important, my lord will go out and arrange it first."

After tidying up his clothes and hats, he went out of the house, but saw the moon in the middle of the sky, calculated the time, about an hour had passed.

The old bustard came over and said that Officer Xiong Tui had been here for a long time, seeing that Mr. Zhou was not there, he and several other adults were eating wine and listening to music.

Zhou Nan was startled, he was only thinking of being happy just now, but he delayed for a long time.That Xiong Ren is extremely hateful, he missed his errand, and he doesn't know what he will be talking about later.

He hurriedly entered the hall where Xiong Ren was, but saw that everyone inside was already drunk, chatting and laughing loudly with a woman in their arms.

Zhou Nan counted and recognized the number, only Xiong Ren and Governor Huang and other three staff members.

Strange in his heart, he stepped forward and bowed his hands to salute, "Master Li Xun, where is Zhu Xun?"

Governor Huang said with a big tongue: "Zhu Xun didn't come. He said that he had to be appointed by the imperial court to patrol the two Huaihe Rivers. He should act impartially and not be invited by local officials. If the officials are loyal and honest during this tour, why worry about it?" ?”

Zhou Nan was taken aback for a moment, and thought: I met an upright official, no, it was just a meal.Human relations, no big deal.This guy said a lot of high-sounding words, put on airs, isn't he the same as Wang Ruoxu back then?It seems that Zhu Xun's visit was not kind, and he wanted to find fault with the criminal justice department.He will be a speech officer in the future, and this is what he will do. Xiong Tui is in trouble.

Suddenly, Xiong Ren jumped up at the table: "You're a pretentious person, this person insulted me very much, it's really hateful, I will never let it go!"

He probably drank too much, and when he swayed, he was about to fall.

Governor Huang hurriedly supported him, giggled and said, "Punishment is just a seven-rank inspector. I'm going to obey the law and work hard, so I'm afraid that he will pick the bones out of the eggs? The age of the criminal Already high, don't let your body get angry because of it."

Seeing that Xiong Ren was so angry, Zhou Nan felt secretly refreshed.Hearing Governor Huang's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: This person surnamed Huang is really good at flattering, and he is well versed in the routine of giving opinions to leaders at the democratic life meeting of later generations, "Leader, I will give you an opinion, you'd better My shortcoming is that I work too hard and don't pay attention to my body, I need to change it!"

Seeing Zhou Nan's smile, Xiong Ren yelled with a strong alcohol smell, "What are you laughing at? Are you happy to see my lord eating?"

Zhou Nan said perfunctorily, "How dare my subordinates?"

"Aren't you a member of our criminal court? Are you happy to see our criminal court suffer? What's so great about you? Isn't it just that you can write a few crooked poems to attract the love of the girls in the building? I see you write You are a dog stinky fart, you despicable villain who loves wine and spends money, thief subordinate!"

This is the fourth time Zhou Nan has heard someone call him a thief and subordinate today, and a wicked fire rises in his heart, and he wants to explode.

At this time, Governor Huang took his hand: "Master Zhou, Li Xing is drunk. You are late today, and you will be punished with three glasses of wine as a gift."

Zhou Nan thought, anyway, this official Xiong Tui is going to be a prisoner tomorrow morning, so why should I be angry with a dying man.If you can't bear it a little, you will make a big conspiracy, just treat him as a lunatic.

Without saying a word, he picked up the cup and drank it down.

Xiong Tuiguan squinted his drunken eyes: "In this way, I want to fool my lord and change to a big one."

Three large bowls filled with wine were placed on the table, weighing three catties.

The wine of this era is also the alcohol content of the beer of the later generations. Naturally, Zhou Nan was not afraid, picked up the bowl coldly, drank it all, said his farewell, turned around and left, and refused to say a word to everyone.The physical exertion was really too much just now, and now I drank again, I just feel mentally and mentally tired, I just want to go home early and sleep, and recover my energy to face tomorrow's magnitude [-] earthquake in Fucheng officialdom.

As soon as "Green Pearl Tower" was released, there was another commotion behind: "Punishment, punishment, be careful of falling."

"Punishment, no!"

Zhou Nan was startled. Looking back, he saw Xiong Ren swaying towards him like a red-eyed bull, pointing at him and yelling, "Zhou Nan, you despicable villain. I asked you to come over and arrange a banquet in advance. It's good for you!" , but have a good time with a bitch, when my lord's order is the spring breeze over the donkey's ears? You come to the punishment hall and pretend to be a genius, as if you are the only one in the world, and the rest are mediocre. You clearly look down on it My lord is from a miscellaneous background."

Zhou Nan: "Lord Xiong, you and I are both officials of the imperial court. You should be decent. Please respect yourself. You are a miscellaneous, and the lower officials are also miscellaneous. The Judgment Hall is the Judgment Hall of the Huai'an government office, and it belongs to my Ming Dynasty. Yamen, your surname is not Xiong, and we are not your servants. Also, the spring breeze blows over the ears of a donkey, who is a donkey, my lord, you must take this sentence back today."

"It doesn't matter what I said, you lowly subordinate!" Xiong Ren stretched out his finger and kept poking Zhou Nan's chest.

The subordinate official was Zhou Nan's backer, and he already thought Xiong Ren was a dead person in his heart, so he didn't plan to have a fit.Unable to hold back the anger in his heart at this moment, he punched Guan Xiong on the chin with an uppercut.

Poor Xiong Ren was also a 160-jin fat man, and he was beaten flat on the ground.

Zhou Nan was not polite either, rubbing his body and riding on him, his fists fell on Xiong Tui's face like raindrops, the air was full of crackling, crackling, and in a short while, Xiong Ren's face blossomed .

"Bold Zhou Nan, are you going to rebel?" Several governors came forward in a mess.

"Go away!" Zhou Nan swung his fist and hit the nose of the leader, Governor Huang. Seeing that the surnamed Huang's face seemed to be running a dyeing workshop, but the bright red was blood, he squatted down with a ouch.

How did the other two governors dare to go up and shouted in shock: "Someone is coming, here is someone, Mr. Zhou is crazy!"

"Who is crazy, haha!" Zhou Nan laughed loudly, stood up, and shouted:
"Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, the Wu hook is bright with frost and snow.

The silver saddle illuminates the white horse, rustling like a meteor.

Kill ten people in ten steps, and stay in a thousand miles.

Hello.

Leisurely drink Xinling, take off the sword knee and cross.

Will Zhi Zhu Hai, hold on to persuade Hou Ying.

Three cups of Turanuo, Wuyue is light.

After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born. "

Behind him, upstairs, there is a clear voice of Xiao, followed by a tactful voice:
"Saving Zhao with a golden hammer, Handan was shocked first.

Qianqiu two strong men, Xuhe Daliang city.

It is not ashamed to be a hero in the world.

Who can write your Excellency, Bai Shou Tai Xuan Sutra. "

Zhou Nan looked back, but it was Zi Xiao standing on the railing upstairs.

He cupped his hands with a smile, and shouted: "Happy, happy!" The aggrievedness he had suffered in the government office for the past two months was vented in this stormy fist.

The idea finally came through.
