At this moment, the plum garden is busy.
Su Wan felt it was very interesting to listen to them reading the poems written by the young masters. Although they didn't look too amazing, it was indeed lively and fun.
The couple also commented in a low voice on which one they thought was better, and the people watching the excitement also commented on it.
However, compared to the previous crowded situation, the number of onlookers was indeed much smaller. The reason was that there were competitions organized by people at Shuying Building and Qingke Building.
Both Su Wan and Li Lin felt that one of the songs, "Sparse Shadow", was the best.
His poem says:
The sparse shadows slowly move toward dusk, and the light makeup and heavy colors reflect the white snow.
Let's warm the sake on the stove and enjoy the mountains, rivers and spring trees together.
The sparse shadow in the poem refers to the plum tree, and it is also said that at dusk, whether the plum blossoms are light or dark, they reflect the white snow. My friends and I continue to appreciate the plum blossoms, and let others warm up the wine to enjoy the plum blossoms together. bloom.
"I think this is good."
"Compared to the others, it is indeed better, especially the last sentence, which seems a bit chic and elegant."
"No."
"Who wrote the poem?"
"It's Mr. Qin!"
"This is Mr. Qin from Meicheng. This is a famous young man in Meicheng. He is knowledgeable and talented. It's a pity that he has been unsuccessful for many years. If the Ninth Young Master can be attracted by him, he will be able to rise to the top."
Su Wan was a little curious, so he asked Suichuan: "Who is Mr. Qin?"
Suichuan said: "In reply to Madam, the name of Mr. Qin is Qin Mengjun, a native of Meicheng. His father is a teacher. It is said that he was born with bright wisdom and great talent. He is very famous in Meicheng, but he is a pure man." Ao, I have been unsuccessful for many years."
Suichuan pointed at a young man wearing a blue robe at the edge of the crowd. He was about 23 or 24 years old, with pretty good looks, and his eyes were as cold as the white snow in the snow.
"Speaking of which, his talent is indeed good, but he has a proud temperament and refuses to bow to the clan."
"Pity."
If such a person lived in another country and took part in the imperial examination based on his ability, he would definitely get a Jinshi regardless of the top three. However, there was no imperial examination in the Western Wei Dynasty. He could only rely on recommendation to become an official. The official positions were occupied by clans. , How can ordinary people get ahead?
He was talented but refused to bow to the clan, so he could only fail in this way.
Su Wan frowned slightly, feeling that Mr. Qin might not be able to get what he hoped for in Wang Lizhi. People like Wang Lizhi just want to live a free and easy life today, regardless of the flood tomorrow.
Li Lindao: "If he is really capable, why not recommend him to Afu?"
Suichuan worked beside Su Wan and went to find out everything first. He had checked out Mr. Qin, so he said, "He does have some abilities."
Su Wan thought it was good. There was indeed a shortage of people in Li Fu's place, and some of them had to hire people from Licheng to do things. If Mr. Qin was really capable, it might not be impossible to recruit him.
Moreover, Mr. Qin suffered from clan oppression.
If someone says that they want to overthrow this clan and open up a bright road for the Western Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty will be able to hold imperial examinations like the Eastern Zhao and Southern Qin. Ordinary people can also stand out one day. The clan is no longer powerful and cannot bully ordinary people casually.
Thinking about it, he should also be willing.
"That's a good idea."
At this moment, the other party seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, turned his head and looked over, and then nodded slightly to show courtesy.
"Let's warm the sake on the stove and enjoy the mountains, rivers and spring trees together. That's great!"
Someone sighed from the crowd. Everyone looked out and saw Wang Lizhi, who was wearing a white robe and a white fox fur cloak, standing outside the crowd. Next to him stood a beautiful woman in red. , followed by seven or eight guards.
The scene was quiet for a while, and then someone exclaimed: "It's the Ninth Young Master!"
"It's the Ninth Young Master!"
"It's really Ninth Young Master, Ninth Young Master is here."
Everyone present came forward to pay homage. The heir to the first clan of the Western Wei Dynasty was as noble as the crown prince in the land of the Western Wei Dynasty.
"You don't need to be polite." Wang Lizhi's face was calm. He glanced over and happened to see Li Lin and others in the building.
Because the teahouse in Meiyuan is enjoying the snow, the windows all around are opened as wide as possible. Standing outside, you can see people on the first floor even if you look up.
"Ninth Young Master is here today, and this plum garden will surely be in full bloom."
"Exactly."
"Ninth Young Master..."
Wang Lizhi knocked the folding fan in his hand and asked, "Are you comparing poems?"
The person who had organized the competition before was busy stepping forward: "It's just a poetry competition, and the Ninth Young Master wants to listen to it together."
"Ninth Young Master, the Shuying Tower here is also comparing poems. Ninth Young Master, do you want to come here to listen?"
"Ninth Young Master, we are also competing here at Qingkelou."
Wang Lizhi chuckled lightly, knowing in his heart what these people were planning, but he didn't care, "Here he is, a friend happens to be here, I'll go have a drink with him."
The person from Jichun Tower was busy inviting him over: "Ninth Young Master has a friend here, I don't know who he is?"
"What a coincidence, it's just a few people in the room."
Everyone looked up and saw that there was only one tea seat in the room with people sitting there. When the rest of the people saw Wang Lizhi coming, they all ran out to greet him, hoping to have a few words with the Ninth Young Master. People seemed indifferent.
Su Wan raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and whispered to Li Lin: "He's here, please remember to chat with him a little more, preferably to express your concern, then we will be stable in Meicheng."
Li Lin said: "Don't worry, if he messes with me again, I'll just tolerate him for a while."
The couple had a good plan, but Xiao Sang on the side had already pulled Su Wan's sleeve several times. Su Wan turned around and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"That's Miss Yanqing."
"What is Miss Yanqing?" Su Wan had forgotten about this a long time ago. She didn't even remember who Miss Yanqing was.
Xiao Sang became anxious: "He is the one who came back from Wang Jiu Gongzi's village last time and rode in our carriage."
When Su Wan heard what Xiao Sang said, she suddenly remembered it. Her eyes fell on the face of the girl in red for a moment, and her two faces locked.
But she was very surprised: "I saw that this girl Yanqing was not willing to follow Mr. Wang Jiu earlier, but now she is with him?"
Xiao Sang blinked, a little confused. The moment she saw this Yanqing girl, she always felt that she was here for her young master, but she never thought of this possibility.
At this moment, Wang Lizhi had already walked in with someone. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Brother Jingyuan, long time no see."
