The New Year Poetry Recital of Bailu Academy is almost coming to an end. Although there are still many students staying in the academy to have further exchanges with the gentlemen, Shao Xi and Bai Jinqing could not bear the loneliness for a long time, so they invited several students from the academy to join them. Sneaked out.
On New Year's Eve, the streets, alleys, restaurants and art shops are busy. Wouldn't it be boring to lock yourself in the courtyard at this moment?
The three people who slipped out of the academy together with Shao Xi and the others were Bai Jinqing's closest friends in the academy, and they were also the best friends. These three people are Hu Yushan, Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu. Like Bai Jinqing, they are all candidates who will take the next spring exam.
Several people were walking on the street, looking around at the excitement and chatting away. Zheng Yuanxiu squeezed to Shao Xi's side and asked: "Brother Shao, will he take part in the Chunwei examination next spring like me? If he also takes part in the Chunwei exam, we will be company."
Shao Xi grinned and said: "I can't compare with you brothers. I'm not a prostitute, so how can I participate in the Spring Festival?"
Han Shaoguang asked in surprise: "With Brother Shao's talent, he is not a civil servant? It's really unbelievable, or does Brother Shao have no intention of fame?"
Hu Yushan interjected at this time: "I think Brother Shao is a free and easy-going person. Although he has great literary talent, he does not want to be restrained by others. He should have no intention of fame like Jin Qing."
Shao Xi smiled and said: "I really don't want to be restricted by others, but if you give me a free and easy official, I won't refuse."
Hu Yushan shook his head and said: "Brother Shao is joking. As an official, you have to ask for orders from the people. How can you be free and easy? Doesn't that violate our mission as scholars to care about the world and help the common people?"
At this time, Zheng Yuanxiu joked to Hu Yushan: "Brother Yushan's current words and deeds are more and more similar to those of the old scholars in the academy. The world is the same if you open your mouth or shut up! Common people!"
Bai Jinqing said calmly: "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to worry about the people in this world. I just want to write poetry, play chess, drink wine, and play the piano. I don't want to work hard every day."
"Speaking of drinking, there's no point in hanging around like this. Wouldn't it be better to find a good place to have a few drinks together?"
Han Shaoguang's suggestion was immediately approved by several people. So a few people found a restaurant called Junxiaolou and went in, directly choosing a seat on the second floor.
After the food and wine were served, Hu Yushan stood up with a glass of wine and said to the people present: "Tonight is New Year's Eve. As the New Year is approaching, I can gather with a few friends here. I would like to take this cup of Chrysanthemum Autumn to wish these friends a happy spring in the coming year." I also wish Brother Shao good health, happiness and all the best for his name on the gold list."
Several people also stood up to toast and bless each other.
On this occasion of spring, the restaurant is also full of joy and laughter.
When he was slightly tipsy, Han Shaoguang stood up and raised his glass and suggested: "I'm so excited today, why don't we take the wine in this glass as the title, each person composes a poem, and make it into a poem. Finally, Brother Shao will inscribe the title."
Several people present agreed, so Han Shaoguang came to write the first sentence.
Han Shaoguang looked down at the chrysanthemums in the cup and chanted:
"Only drink chrysanthemums without asking about autumn."
Hu Yushan then chanted the first sentence:
"Put the clear liquid into your throat and relieve a thousand worries."
Zheng Yuanxiu took the third sentence with a smile,
"You know the beauty of something a little tipsy."
Bai Jinqing looked at the people at the table, smiled and said:
"How can I rest until I'm completely drunk?"
Shao Xi also looked at the people at the table and said, "Look at you guys looking like drunkards! This poem is titled "Really Lost"."
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Brother Shao is indeed a funny man. Even the title rhymes with it."
While several people were drinking happily, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from downstairs.
Out of curiosity, a few people walked out of the private room together, stood at the railing upstairs and looked downstairs, but they didn't expect that what happened downstairs was that Old Wu was also involved.
I saw Old Wu standing in the lobby, having a confrontation with a group of people.
The person headed by the other party was young, plain-looking, well-dressed, and looked aloof and arrogant. There were five or six servants standing behind this person. One of them looked like a guard. He was tall, with a strong back and a strong waist, and looked like he was not easy to mess with.
There was also a person standing behind Lao Wu. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. He looked thin and dressed in a green jacket. However, his face was very delicate, with fine eyebrows and phoenix eyes. If he hadn't been dressed in men's clothing, he would have thought she was a woman.
The child looked panicked at this time, shrinking behind Lao Wu as if he was frightened, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.
Zheng Yuanxiu stretched his neck and glanced twice, then muttered: "Hey! Isn't that Yang Yuanfei, the son of Yang Mucheng, the Minister of Justice? It's New Year's Eve. He is not at home to spend the New Year with his father, so why did he come here? Is this Jun Xiaolou here? It looks like he even had a dispute with Senior Hu."
Shao Xi is a very protective person. Even though he and Lao Wu are usually at odds with each other, if someone really gets into a dispute with Lao Wu, he will not care about right or wrong and must protect his family.
But I don't know what happened at this time, so Shao Xi did not rush downstairs, but stood upstairs and watched what happened.
I saw Yang Yuanfei pointing at Old Wu with a folding fan in his hand and shouting: "Where did the old beggar come from? He actually protected that little beggar. He just stole my purse. I thought you were behind it, so I just took it away with you." Ask the Yamen to investigate."
Old Wu spat on the ground and said unceremoniously: "You are a beggar. Your whole family is a beggar! Do you have evidence that he stole your wallet? If you don't have evidence, don't slander others. Don't think that you are well-dressed." People who look like people can frame good people."
"If you weren't an old beggar, why would you stand up for him? What's your relationship with him?"
"You don't need to ask about my relationship with him. In short, old man, I just don't want you to bully an honest person. Why does it bother you that he, a little kid, begs for some money on the street just to make a living? You have lost your wallet, and now you are relying on it. When it comes to this kid, I chase him all the way from the street to this restaurant. Isn’t it too much to bully someone?”
"If you don't know him, how can you prove that he didn't steal my wallet?"
Old Wu's eyes widened and he said: "Old man, I have been sitting in front of the restaurant drinking. This kid was begging along the street not far from me. When a group of you came over, you passed by him. I saw clearly that he didn't come close. He passed you, and now you have lost your own purse, but you have to blame it on him."
Yang Yuanfei sneered and said: "You said you saw it when you saw it? I also said that you are in the same group! If you want to prove that he has not stolen the wallet, then let me search him. If nothing is found, it will be fine. If it is found, he will not be found." I will take you with me to the Yamen for questioning."
"Fart! Who do you think you are? Searching others if you want? You are so arrogant and domineering at a young age, but your parents didn't teach you well and let you out to bully the good?"
"Old guy, I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
After speaking, Yang Yuanfei waved his hand, and the strong man and the servants behind him swarmed forward.
With Lao Wu's physical skills, it was simply wishful thinking for these people to catch him, but at this time, Old Wu had to protect the young man behind him, and could not use his physical skills, so he could only stay in front. He was good at escaping and tracking him, but he was a novice when facing the enemy head on. He was pinned down on the table by the strong man in just a few clicks, while a group of servants pounced on the young man and pinned him down on the chair unable to move.
The young man saw that Old Wu had been restrained, and he was also caught by the servants. Yang Yunfei was rolling up his sleeves to search him, with a look of fear and anxiety on his face, and he was struggling hard.
"Let me go. I didn't steal your money. Why are you framing me? Don't touch me. Let me go!"
As soon as the young man spoke, everyone in the restaurant was surprised. It turned out that the young man was actually a girl, just dressed in men's clothing.
The waiter and shopkeeper of the restaurant also stepped forward to dissuade him. After all, in this situation, the diners in the restaurant had stopped eating and were all watching the show, which would naturally affect the business.
When Yang Yuanfei heard it, it turned out that the young man they captured was a woman, and he became even more interested. He rubbed his hands and walked up to the girl, with a lewd smile on his face.
"Ouch! It turns out she is a little lady, so I have to search her even more carefully! Search her whole body carefully! See if you have stolen my purse. If you are found out by me, I will not send you to the Yamen. Okay, come back to the house with me and serve me well, and this will be considered as your atonement."
As he spoke, Yang Yuanfei stretched out his hands and grabbed the girl's chest. Everyone present could see it, what was the search? This is just to take advantage of the opportunity! But no one dared to stand up and speak. After all, Yang Yuanfei was a well-known playboy in Daliang City. How many people didn't know who his father was?
Just when Yang Yuanfei's hands were about to grab the woman's chest, the girl became anxious and in panic, she raised her leg and kicked her.
Yang Yuanfei's facial features were squeezed together in an instant, his hands were covering between his legs, and his feet were bouncing on the spot as if they were equipped with springs. Any man present knew where he was hit, and some even couldn't help but laugh. Speak up.
This kick was both precise and powerful. Yang Yuanfei's facial features were all displaced at this moment. Let alone a body search, he didn't even have the strength to speak at this moment.
Old Wu, who was pinned down on the table by a strong man at the side, laughed out loud when he saw this scene, and kept praising him: "Good! What a good kick, both accurate and ruthless! What a good way to cut off his descendants!"
When everyone watching in the restaurant heard Lao Wu's shout of applause, they couldn't help but laugh too. The whole scene turned from the tense moment before into a laugh-out-loud farce.
Although Yang Yuanfei was in terrible pain at this time, when he heard Old Wu's sarcasm and the laughter of everyone around him, he became angry and said through gritted teeth: "Young ladies, do you dare to make this young master look foolish in public? I will rape you in front of the public today." Guang, let me see if anyone else can help you."
After saying that, he pounced on the girl in front of him again...
