Hua Manting stood outside the Yanyu Pavilion, watching Li Chenan exercise with interest with his hands behind his back.
Su Muxin, dressed in Tsing Yi, was standing behind him with a bookcase on her back. She was very puzzled that her teacher came to Huaping Lakeside so early in the morning.
But didn't dare to ask.
In fact, this is not the first time Hua Manting has met Li Chenan.
Ever since he watched the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" on the third day of March and knew that the lyrics were written by Li Chenan, he had kept the name in his mind.
With his erudition, he knew that this poem had never appeared before, that is, it was the first time that this poem appeared on Miss Zhongli's boat.
The next evening, he met Ning Chuchu and was entrusted by Ning Chuchu to persuade Li Wenhan to return the Shen family's marriage certificate. At the same time, he also knew that Li Chenan was indeed Li Wenhan's eldest son.
Naturally, he felt strange, so on the fifth day of March, the day before yesterday, he took Su Muxin to Erjinggou Alley and stood under the big banyan tree at the east end for a while.
Li Chenan was talking to the craftsmen in the shop and didn't notice an old man and a young man outside.
Su Muxin didn't know what the teacher was looking at, and then the two of them went to Qianmo Academy.
The encounter this morning was indeed not intentional by Hua Manting. He came here just to revisit his old place out of curiosity, and his encounter with Li Chenan was purely by chance.
At this moment, Li Chen'an had also finished the basic movements. He was sweating profusely and his muscles were very sore. He turned around with a grin and saw Hua Man Ting, whose hair and beard were all white.
"Are you Li Chenan?"
Li Chenan was startled. He didn't expect that the old man actually knew him. He nodded and grinned: "It is Li Chenan who was born late. My father-in-law looks a little unfamiliar...?"
"Ah, I am Hua Man Ting, and I know your father."
Li Chenan was startled, and this name came to his mind. This old man was the dean of Taiyuan Academy and a great scholar in the dynasty!
His mind suddenly changed. This old man is full of talents all over the world. If the plaque of his tavern is nominated by this old man, or if a picture of this old man can be hung in the tavern, the style of the tavern will be immediately improved. Taking it to the next level?
Thinking of this, he had an idea. He had to get close to the old man and get his calligraphy treasure before the tavern opened.
"It turns out it's Mr. Hua. You've lost your sight!"
With that said, Li Chenan bowed and saluted, "I have heard that the old man has lived in Kyoto for a long time, and I have admired him for a long time. However, I have not left Guangling City yet. Although I yearn for him, I can't make the trip for the time being."
"When I went out, I heard magpies chirping joyfully on the tree, and I was thinking about what good things could happen to me today. Unexpectedly, I met the old man here. This is really my luck!"
As soon as Li Chenan's words came out, the whole court was stunned for a moment, thinking that this boy was so eloquent and eloquent, how could he look like the dull and stupid person that the fourth princess had found out!
Hua Manting was originally very interested in Li Chenan, but now that Li Chenan said this, he simply borrowed Poxia Donkey to get to know Li Chenan better.
The two foxes, one old and one young, each had their own ideas.
So, he stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Having been in the capital for a long time, I feel a little dull. The spring in Guangling is good, so I came here to have a look. If my nephew has nothing to do, why don't we go and sit in the Yanyu Pavilion for a while?"
Li Chen'an was right in his arms, he stretched out his hand and said: "Sir, please!"
Hua Manting is in front, Li Chenan is behind, and Su Muxin, who was ignored by Li Chenan, is at the end.
The three of them filed into the Yanyu Pavilion. Hua Manting and Li Chenan sat opposite each other, and Su Muxin stood behind Hua Manting obediently.
Li Chenan thought he was Hua Manting's servant because he was young, wearing Tsing Yi and carrying a bookcase.
"On the third day of junior high school, the students from Guangling City almost gathered together at the cultural gathering held by Miss Zhongli Mansion on Huaping Lake. Why didn't you come?"
Hua Manting went straight to the topic and asked this question.
"The boy happens to have something to do, and besides, the boy from Zhongli Mansion is too high to reach."
"Oh..." Hua Manting said meaningfully, and then asked: "Then do you know the final result of that literary meeting?"
"I don't believe it. I've been very busy these days and haven't paid much attention to it. If you know about it, please tell me."
Hua Manting stroked his long beard and said with joy, "That literary meeting was very interesting. Many excellent poems were produced. Among them was a poem called "Butterfly Loves Flowers". Have you heard of it?"
Li Chenan was startled, thinking that the handsome young man really handed over the poem, and he didn't know whether he won the first place in the end.
He was curious, "The kid has never heard of it."
Hua Manting looked at Li Chenan and said, "Pretend, you are pretending to be like that!"
He recited the poem, and Li Chenan's face remained calm.
"What do you think of this poem?"
"Ah...it's okay."
He instinctively acted modestly, but he didn't expect that these words would sound uncomfortable to the ears of the unsuspecting Su Muxin——
What do you mean it's okay?
This is a word that even my mentors are full of praise for!
This kid really doesn't know how high the sky is!
So, Su Muxin spoke, naturally with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "So Brother Li can make a better poem than this one?"
"Ah, this..."
Li Chenan's mind suddenly changed. If he wanted to gain Hua Manting's approval, he couldn't hide his clumsiness and had to show it in front of him.
This poem was sent to me by the handsome young man. Mr. Hua didn't know that it was written by himself, so writing another poem would not affect the handsome young man's reputation.
In addition, the dull and stupid character of the original owner also needs to be changed. After all, no one wants to deal with a fool.
"Since this brother has this request, I will recite a poem casually, and please Mr. Hua please don't laugh at it."
Hua Manting was immediately happy, thinking that you, the little fox, can't hide your tail!
If Li Chenan could really write another comparable poem in front of him, it would be enough to prove that Li Chenan was a truly knowledgeable person.
As for the rumors in the market, even the words of his father, after all, they are not as true as seeing is believing at this moment.
Su Muxin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this boy to be so thick-skinned. He thought that even he and Qi Zhixue couldn't surpass the words. This boy actually said that he could recite a poem casually... He laughed. It is the ignorant who are fearless!
At this moment, two more people came outside Yanyu Pavilion.
Li Chenan's eyes lit up. One of them was the handsome man who bought his poem, and the other was an extremely beautiful girl about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The girl's body was as weak as a willow, her small face was as crystal clear as jade, her thin eyebrows were like smoke, and her eyes looked forward as if spring water was flowing.
Judging from Li Chen'an's countless experiences with women in his previous life, the beauty of that girl can truly be described as the beauty of a shy flower that closes in the moon, and a fish that sinks before it falls!
While Li Chenan was looking at Zhongli Ruoshui, Ning Chuchu blinked at Hua Manting and Su Muxin.
The two walked into the Yanyu Pavilion.
Li Chenan had already turned his attention to Ning Chuchu.
"Hello, sir!"
"Hello, brother!"
"Why does the young master have time to come here today?"
"It's all because Yanyu Pavilion is the best place to view the spring scenery of Huaping Lake."
Ning Chuchu's lies came out of her mouth, and she pretended to be curious and asked Li Chen'an: "Why are you here, brother?"
Ning Chuchu didn't mention the poem she bought, so Li Chenan certainly wouldn't expose the buyer.
"I was jogging in the morning and happened to meet Mr. Hua Lao... This Mr. Hua is the famous Hua Lao Ru in Ningguo!"
Ning Chuchu was performing a complete performance. She turned to look at Hua Manting and bowed her hands: "It turns out that Mr. Hua is here. I have been looking up to you for a long time!"
Hua Manting didn't know what they were acting in. She thought to herself that she probably didn't want Li Chenan to know their true identity, so she also returned the gift: "I don't dare to take it seriously... I just talked to this little brother While we were chatting about poetry, I thought that the song "Die Lian Hua" that was born on the third day of junior high school was already a subversive existence today. This guy said it was okay... so my student asked this guy to compose one too. "
"You two seem to come from scholarly families, why not share the same love?"
They were all acting, only Li Chenan was kept in the dark.
Neither Zhongli Ruoshui nor Ning Chuchu expected that Li Chenan would compose another poem. They only came because Zhongli Ruoshui wanted to come.
She said she wanted to take a closer look at Li Chenan.
Now that they heard that such a good thing was possible, the two of them were certainly willing.
Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes had already fallen on Li Chenan's face.
Hey, this guy is obviously very handsome!
Sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, and a hanging nose, and temples as sharp as a knife... Especially the charm revealed inadvertently in those eyes, it really doesn't look like someone who is seventeen or eighteen years old. There is a breathtaking flavor in the flash. .
At this moment, he can still compose lyrics in front of Hua Lao Daru calmly - his face is not red and his heart is not beating. Either he is too thick-skinned, or he really has great ability.
She turned back and glanced at Ning Chuchu. Fortunately, this girl came to see him, otherwise she would really have thought that he was not very good-looking.
How did Li Chenan know that the person in front of him was the famous Zhongli Ruoshui.
He just wanted to get Hua Manting's approval and ask him to write a word or two for his tavern.
What lyrics should I compose or copy now to startle Mr. Hua and leave the deepest impression on him?
He stood up, took two steps, and came to the fence of Yanyu Pavilion to look at Huaping Lake in the early morning.
The appearance seemed a bit advanced to Zhongli Ruoshui.
Even Ning Chuchu was frightened by that back figure.
Hua Manting's old eyes were looking forward to it, but Su Mu laughed sarcastically in her heart. This man had a green onion in his nose - he was pretending!
At this moment, Li Chenan suddenly turned around.
He glanced at everyone with a smile and said, "Yes!"
Zhongli Ruoshui was startled, could it happen so soon?
Ning Chuchu was shocked, thinking that she might have done it in the past, but it didn't matter.
Hua Manting also had a look of surprise on his face, "Please ask me to recite it!"
Li Chenan rolled up his sleeves and said, "This poem is called "Qing Xing'er, Wind and Rain Sadness for Flowers", please let me judge!"
He walked slowly and recited this poem:
"The wind and rain are sad for the flowers.
After the wind and rain, the flowers should also stop.
I advise you not to be drunk in front of flowers.
This year the flowers have faded, and next year the flowers will fade and the heads will turn gray.
Take advantage of two or three Ou.
Choose the benefits of Xishan to pursue a tour.
But if you are drunk, nothing will happen.
Whether there are flowers or no flowers, the choice is spring or autumn. "
After chanting the word, Zhongli Ruoshui immediately felt a sense of open-mindedness coming towards him.
The expression on Hua Manting's face suddenly tightened. He looked at Li Chenan, and a sudden realization came into his heart——
He stood up, straightened his sleeves, and bowed to Li Chenan.
Li Chenan quickly got out of the way, but Hua Manting said: "Hearing these words from little brother, I am... ashamed!"
Ning Chuchu was shocked.
Su Muxin looked at Li Chenan blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief!
Of course Li Chenan would give up as soon as he saw the opportunity.
He bowed to Hua Man Ting and said apologetically: "Xiao Sheng has something to do at home. I wonder where the boss is staying temporarily? If I have time, Xiao Sheng will come and visit me again."
"Brother will be waiting for my little brother at Qianmo Academy today!"
"Don't dare to be a junior. At dusk, we will see you there."
"Okay, brother, I'll sweep the bed and wait for you!"
