When a complete poem was presented in front of everyone, everyone was silent.
If it is only half a poem, it can only make some people with unique experiences empathize. But once the whole poem is written, even people who have never experienced love thousands of miles apart can also feel the meaning of lovesickness in it.
For a moment, the women who passed by the pavilion and heard this poem all wiped away their tears. Many thoughtful scholars also sighed alone and drank the tea in front of them as if they were wine.
The only person who can't relate to this is probably Mr. Sun in the attic.
When Li Xunshan actually read out the second half of the poem, he would probably never be able to get rid of his reputation for plagiarism and backbiting.
Mr. Sun, whose feet were weak and whose eyes were darkened, managed to stand still by holding on to the railing.
When he glanced to the side with his peripheral vision, he discovered that Ren Yue, who was standing not far from him, had disappeared.
Suddenly hearing some commotion in the main hall on the first floor, Sun Xuan followed the sound and saw Ren Yue walking in front of the scholar surnamed Li.
"Xunshan!" Ren Yue called out with a choked voice. Seeing that the person in front of her didn't respond, she reached out her hand and tried to lift off the mask of the person in front of her.
"The girl has admitted the wrong person!" Li Xunshan held Ren Yue's wrist with one hand and responded in a low voice.
Ren Yue, who was crying so hard, did not struggle. Looking at Li Xunshan's calloused right hand, she forced a smile: "Xunshan, the calluses on your hands have become thicker again... you must have gone to work as a laborer again. ,right?"
Feeling the slight tremor coming from her wrist, Ren Yue wiped her tears and her eyes curved into a crescent shape: "Why are you here and not looking for me?"
Li Xunshan's dull voice sounded again: "Girl, you have recognized the wrong person..."
Suddenly, Wei Hai took a step forward and tore Li Xunshan's mask apart with a wave of his hand. With a "stab" sound, the black gauze mask fell into two parts.
"Don't stare at me. This girl has recognized you. How do you look like you are still here grinding and grinding?" After Wei Hai did his "good deeds", he immediately hid his merit and fame and returned to the The old beggar's side.
Before the matter was settled, Ren Yue threw herself into Li Xunshan's arms!
This time, everyone’s jaws really dropped!
Many people participating in this poetry conference today knew that Sun Xuan planned to use him as a "matchmaker" to promote a happy relationship between him and Miss Ren Yue.
But now that Ren Yue dared to hug another man in front of everyone, Sun Xuan's face became "swollen" again...
Looking at his sweetheart fluttering into his arms, Li Xunshan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged him.
At this point, the two hugged each other tightly, as if no one was around...
The scene in front of him made Gu Ning'an smile knowingly.
On the side, Wei Hai hooked the old beggar's shoulder and laughed: "A talented man and a beautiful woman! This is a talented man and a beautiful woman!"
Through the few words of several people and the poems written by Li Xunshan, the old man roughly pieced together the story of the man and woman in front of him.
"When lovers get together, I won't bother you too much." The old man cupped his hands, nodded to Ning'an one after another, walked out of the crowd and left Liujing Pavilion.
"Let's go too." Ren raised his head, there were still tears on his cheeks.
Li Xunshan was stunned: "Where are you going?"
Ren Yue took Li Xunshan's arm as if there was no one around and said angrily: "Go home!"
"Oh...ok..." After a reply, Li Xunshan was dragged away.
When passing by Gu Ning'an and the others, Ren Yue nodded and smiled at Gu Ning'an and the others: "If you don't mind, then come home with us and have a light meal."
Gu Ning'an nodded and said, "That will cause trouble."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" "Old man, I have a big appetite!"
Wei Hai and the old beggar spoke one after another.
While everyone was talking and laughing, they all walked out together. Before they had taken a few steps, there was a rush of shouts behind them.
"Master Li! Please stay!"
I saw that Mo Fei struggled through the crowd, came up, and said breathlessly: "Master Li, this second poetry competition is not over yet. This quatrain of yours deserves to win the first prize!"
Hearing this, Li Xunshan showed an indifferent smile: "According to the rules, we still have to vote, right?"
Shopkeeper Mo smiled awkwardly: "Yes."
Li Xunshan waved his hand and said: "Then Li will not participate, and we don't want to embarrass the young masters present, right?"
"Let Mr. Sun be the leader."
"This..." Shopkeeper Mo glanced out of the corner of his eye. Is there Mr. Sun in the private room on the second floor?
Previously, he had seen Mr. Sun leave with a dark face after the two hugged each other downstairs.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that the position of "leader" would probably fall to Li Xunshan.
After all, if Mr. Sun was still around, even if Li Xunshan's poems were good, he might not be able to come out on top.
In most cases, those scholars will choose the latter in terms of character and "human sophistication"...
"Everyone, go slowly!" Looking at the group of people leaving, Shopkeeper Mo sighed helplessly, and then went back to preside over this, which was already a dispensable poetry conference...
…
"Why are uncle and aunt standing at the door?" From a distance, Li Xunshan, who had good eyesight, saw Ren Yue's parents, standing at the door of the "Ren Family Courtyard".
Ren Yue smiled and said: "My father promised me that after I finish attending the poetry conference, he will have a meal with us when you come."
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an thought to herself: If this is the case, it seems that Miss Ren Yue was under his father's "design" from beginning to end without knowing anything about it.
As for the letter, I guess it was forged by someone else...
After what happened, will Patriarch Ren and Mrs. Ren insist on breaking up this pair of "misfortunate couples"?
Faintly, Gu Ning settled down and thought that this meal in the evening was the moment of revelation...
"Dad! Mom"
"Why are you here?"
While talking, Ren Yue still held Li Xunshan's arm, without any scruples about whether men and women should be intimate with each other.
However, it seemed that the Ren family couple didn't care about me. Their eyes fell lightly on Ren Yue's hand and then moved away inadvertently.
"Didn't I promise you that when Xunshan arrives, I will have a meal with you?" Head Ren said with a smile.
"Dad! You're the best!" Ren Yuejiao yelled, and Li Xunshan on the side greeted the two of them, and then began to introduce Gu Ning'an and the others who were standing next to them. After some introductions, the head of the Ren family invited everyone to come into the house for a chat.
Wei Hai and the old beggar who were following behind all winked at Gu Ning'an and said.
"This Ren family has a big business and is a famous rich man in Jiangling Prefecture. Many shops in the county are owned by his family... When he wanted to buy my wine, he directly offered a price of one hundred taels. altar!"
"But he doesn't have any airs. Seeing old man Wen look like this, he is also very kind."
The old beggar nodded and said, "Among businessmen, he is doing well."
After looking at the two of them, Gu Ning'an smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about others behind their backs..."
