Thousands of boats circled the boat and were gradually displayed, and the big and small luxuries were clearly visible. It was just a pity for those Qingqing who had finally raised money to rent a boat. At this time, they could only be sandwiched between the boats three rows away. Let alone show off their talents, they just watched. There are problems in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and we can only wait anxiously for the people inside to come out to summon the people. At least they are the first people to know the results.
The boats in the first three rows have basically arrived, and they are only waiting for some people in the back to take their seats. Although the aristocratic families look down on the clear streamers in the back, this poetry meeting is still organized by scholars after all, so naturally there must be a place for those who study hard.
The sun was shining brightly, and many people hid in the boat cabin first, Zhang Ling and others were no exception. Ye Yuhuan took this opportunity to reveal his true feelings to Ren Pingsheng, thinking that they had made good friends, and the other people didn't care. Zhang Ling naturally We should also leave enough room for them to get out of the boat cabin with their own interests.
Zhang Ling lay on the railing and glanced out of the corner of his eye. He saw three people from the boat next to him also chatting in general on the railing. One of them was an old acquaintance. Zhang Ling quickly turned away and showed an evil smile.
Zhang Ling walked back to the boat cabin and said to Wu Zhi: "Give me two human skin masks."
Wu Zhi asked doubtfully: "What are you doing again, and why are there two?"
Zhang Ling did not answer directly, but showed a malicious smile again: "Just come out and watch."
Zhang Ling put on one pair himself and gave the other pair to Song Linjie. Wu Zhi followed him out. Following Zhang Ling's gaze, he saw his three young masters chatting and laughing. Wu Zhi managed the middle building of the courtyard and knew everything. He immediately recognized it. There are three people, one is Meng Qixin, the son of Meng Qingshan, the minister of household affairs, the stronger one is Yang Li, the son of the commander of the capital under the ancestors' army, and the remaining one is his father, who is an official and the best of the three, and he himself is also the best. The most useless one, Lu Cheng, the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Because they had previously heard that Zhang Ling and Song Linjie went south to hunt down Lu Xun, a guest of the Lu family, Zhang Ling must have gone after Lu Cheng again. Wu Zhi couldn't help but ask: "You two and Lu Xun Do you have a family feud? You are so stubborn about fighting with others."
Zhang Ling did not answer, but stayed close to the other party's ship and eavesdropped on the conversation between the three men.
Lu Cheng pretended to be elegant and said: "Brother Meng, Brother Yang, let's look at today's grand gathering. How many people are meeting for the first time and looking at each other interested in each other. Is this considered love at first sight?"
Meng Qixin was about to answer, but a voice came from the boat on the side. Zhang Ling pretended to say to Song Linjie: "What is love at first sight? You are just attracted by sex."
Seeing that the man had his back turned to them, Lu Cheng and the other three didn't take it seriously. Meng Qixin wanted to bring back the lively atmosphere and began to talk: "You two, let's just discuss the matter. Today, almost all the scholars in the city have gathered together. If we write poems together, I don’t know how many beautiful classics will be spread and praised by future generations. Maybe the poems prepared by you and me can also be used to quote scriptures in the future. If you can make a beautiful woman fall in love with your poems, this is the real thing. The book business is angry.”
Meng Qixin had just finished speaking, but he didn't expect another voice to come from the other side. The same person said to the person in front of him: "A good man, but he doesn't want to make progress. His eyes are full of gentleness. You are simply acting like a scumbag."
At this time, Lu Cheng and the other two people also knew that the other party seemed to be targeting them deliberately. Yang Li, who had not spoken yet, said angrily: "You two, I really can't listen anymore. This guy is totally looking for trouble. I have to go up and deal with them today." .”
Meng Qixin stopped Yang Li, but did not reveal it immediately. He continued to pretend to be excited and said tentatively: "Brother Lu, you said that a poem by a talented man attracted the attention of many beauties, and the talented man also loved them all at the same time, and being in contact with them can be regarded as romantic. ?”
As expected, the man opposite took advantage of this moment to interrupt again, and faced Song Linjie with anger: "What? You slept with five girls at once, and you still told me that you are romantic? How can you be romantic? It’s clearly obscene.”
When Yang Li saw this, his anger rose. He was about to jump over and take action, but was stopped by Meng Qixin. Meng Qixin turned around and said directly to Zhang Ling, who had been naysaying: "Brother, I don't know where the three of us have offended. Thank you, if there is any misunderstanding, please bring the boat closer and I will have a chat with you."
Zhang Ling pretended not to know, and asked with a confused face: "My dear friend, are you talking to me? Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? I am just teaching my brother how to behave, and I have not talked with the three It means making a grudge.”
Yang Li crawled on the side, pointed at Zhang Ling and said loudly: "You are still pretending to be innocent with me, and you still don't admit that you caused trouble. If you don't come here to apologize today, even if you come from a prominent family, I will never let you go."
Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Brother, I advise you to put your hands down and speak, otherwise you will not be able to reap the benefits."
Yang Li snorted coldly: "I just pointed it out, what can you do?"
Zhang Ling sneered and said, "That's pretty cool!"
Then he waved his hand behind him. Song Linjie grinned and jumped into the air. Before the other two could react, Yang Li was kicked over on the boat. Song Linjie stepped on his chest. No matter how hard Yang Li tried, he was still knocked over. He knew that he came from a general family. Although he could not fight with his father's generation, he still considered his peers to be good in the army. At this time, he could not imagine that this person who looked a few years younger than him was completely unimaginable. The young man was actually not his enemy.
Yang Li tried his best to say: "Who are you? The disciples in the capital are definitely not as skilled as you."
Then, before Lu Cheng could threaten him, Zhang Ling easily climbed over the railing, grabbed Lu Cheng and walked into the cabin. He also signaled for Song Linjie to let him go and let them follow.
The whole process was quiet and did not disturb other people resting in the boat at all, except for some hidden masters, but they all ignored it.
Wu Zhi stood on the side and just said to himself: "These two guys are really good at causing trouble!"
After saying that, he immediately followed.
Zhang Ling directly pressed his hands to the ground and lay on his stomach. He sat on the stool and looked around. All kinds of high-quality accessories were even more luxurious than Ye Yuhuan's. Of course, if he really didn't care about spending money, Ye Yuhuan would definitely get better than this. Even more magnificent, but his trip was mainly to win over Ren Pingsheng, not to buy him with money, in which case neither of them would have anything to say.
Zhang Ling looked at the three people who came in behind, stood up and walked to Yang Li. Yang Li took a step back warily, but the other party just patted the dust on his chest, then sat back and said with a smile: "Stand and do it." Well, everyone, sit down."
Except for Song Linjie, the two people who were with Lu Cheng were indifferent and were always vigilant. Then Meng Qixin thought about it. If he wanted to take action, the three of them, two of them, couldn't fight each other. Together they couldn't fight one of them, so he had no scruples and sat down. , Meng Qixin observed the situation and said, "You actually only have issues with Brother Lu, right?"
