"Li Peichao of Dangyang Academy wrote a poem to wish Miss Su Ruyu of Yanyu Pavilion a further step in winning the Oiran title."
A servant suddenly started singing, and the noisy atmosphere on the boat became quiet.
The servant gradually walked into the cabin and handed the manuscript in his hand to Su Ruyu's maid, Lu Yi: "Girl in green, this is a poem dedicated to Miss Su by Li Peichao, a talented man from Dangyang Academy. Please give it to the girl in green."
The man in green took the manuscript from the servant's hand with a smile, tipped a few copper coins, and the servant turned around and left with satisfaction.
Six young women were sitting quietly in the cabin. After Lu Yi entered the cabin, except for the woman on the far right who was sitting quietly, the other five people gathered around and stopped Lu Yi.
A woman in red took the manuscript and read: "Only the red flowers grow on the shore, the soft weeping willow branches and the cries of orioles. The spring breeze brings rain and the fog is fierce, and there is no boat crossing the mirror."
After reading it, the woman in red handed the manuscript to the meditating woman in orange: "My sister is so lucky to have Li, the second most talented scholar in southern Beijing, to support her. I think this oiran battle must be my sister's. "
"Ruyan, are you envious of your sister Ruyu? Ruyu can ask Mr. Li Peichao to compose a poem, and you can also ask Mr. Song Yi to compose a poem. Every year, you can't compete with your Yanyu Pavilion. I'm afraid this year we Penglai Tower and Qixiu Tower will fall one step behind again.”
After the woman in blue said this, she looked at Su Ruyu with envy.
Su Ruyu took the paper and looked at it for a few times before handing it to the maid Lu Yi: "Lu Yi, take it out and sing a harmony."
Su Ruyu gently held the hand of the woman in blue: "Lingyi, don't belittle yourself. My sister has long heard that Mr. Song Bingge of Yishan Academy wanted to visit the lake with you Huang Lingyi to enjoy the scenery, but in Qixiu Tower After waiting for a day and two nights, Mr. Song was invited to Huafang today. It is still unknown who will win the prize this year."
Liu Ruyan was dressed in red and grabbed the woman wearing a yellow shirt and fringed skirt: "Sister Wan'er, which young man did you invite to cheer? Tell me."
Qin Wan'er was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face but a bit immature. She was a little shy when she heard Liu Ruyan's teasing: "It's Young Master Yan."
"Mr. Yan Huaian?"
Qin Wan'er nodded shyly: "Exactly, Wan'er wanted to invite Mr. Song Yi to Song Yi earlier, but Mr. Song was obsessed with you, sister Ruyan, and backed away. Fortunately, Mr. Yan came, otherwise Wan'er would be really embarrassed. ”
"You are all very lucky. There are Li Peichao and Song Yi in the Yanyu Pavilion to help you. There are Yan Huaian and Song Bingge in the Qixiu Pavilion. Sisters Bizhu and Wei'er are in trouble. These sisters are really lucky."
"Master Lin Yangming of Yishan Academy presented a poem "Spring Shirt" to Miss Xue Bizhu of Penglai Tower."
Xue Bizhu, the purple-clothed woman who just spoke, was a little shocked but also a little happy as she read the poem in the hand of the maid: "The spring clothes reflect the green makeup, and the separation is crazy with hatred. The journey back from the expedition is long, and the flower paper is flying with love."
Huang Lingyi scratched Xue Bizhu's creaking nest: "Sister Bizhu, Lin Yangming, Mr. Lin, is using poetry to express his feelings."
"Master Song Bingge of Yishan Academy dedicated a poem "Bodhisattva Man, Spring Breeze Blows the Green Trees" to Miss Huang Lingyi Huang of Qixiu Tower"
Huang Lingyi had not yet finished the manuscript, so Su Ruyu grabbed it playfully. "The spring breeze blew away the jade branches, and the idle flowers did not realize that the spring was old. I put the jade hairpin in my hand, and the hairpin branches are hidden in the red building. The beauty of the hairpin flower will drink next year. Drunk. An is playing the Yao Qin, and the green branches are covered with flowers and wine."
Su Ruyu looked at Huang Lingyi jokingly: "Not only Sister Bizhu, I think Sister Lingyi also has her heart set on something."
Liu Mingzhi listened to the singer outside reciting a poem: "Ming Gong, you are called Mingshan layman. You must be well versed in poetry. What do you think of the poems of these three talented people?"
Li Yugang asked Liu Mingzhi without replying: "Boy, what do you think? One word of these two poems was written by Li Peichao from your Dangyang Academy, and the other two were written by two talented people from Yishan Academy, the old enemy of Dangyang Academy." Xian, what do you think?"
"In ancient times, Qi Huangyang did not avoid relatives or enemies when doing anything internally. Did Ming Gong ask the boy to imitate Qi Huangyang and evaluate the poems of the three of them?"
Li Yugang nodded noncommittally.
Liu Mingzhi smiled bitterly: "Ming Gong, as the saying goes, a gentleman should not build a dangerous wall. If the boy supports his classmates, he will be biased. If he supports the two students of Yishan Academy, he will not be able to explain it to the principal. It is better not to be embarrassed about this kind of thing. I'm a kid, I just came to watch the fun, if I get into gossip I'll be in trouble, Miss Qi is also a famous and talented girl in Jinling, why don't we let Miss Qi comment."
Qi Yun was anxious: "I am also in Dangyang... I am a young girl with little talent and little knowledge. How dare I comment on the masterpieces of several talented people? I'd better comment on it before Ming Gong."
A maid in green clothes hurriedly ran into the cabin, looked around and found her girl Su Weier.
"Miss, Mr. Qin Bin wrote to say that something has delayed him and he will not be able to come to the Oiran Competition today."
Su Wei, wearing white clothes, looked at her maid blankly: "Duo'er, did Mr. Qin Bin say something about it?"
Duo'er shook her head in frustration: "Miss, Duo'er didn't even see Mr. Qin's people."
