Chapter 536: Personalities are very different
Lin Jue consciously observed these two princes. Unexpectedly, Guo Mian, the king of Jin, and Guo Xu, the king of Huai, gave Lin Jue a very good impression. On the whole, Guo Mian has a more outgoing personality, and his speech and demeanor are cheerful and bold, giving people a sense of enthusiasm. As soon as he arrived, the atmosphere on the field was warm, and he seemed to be familiar with many people in the seat, and greeted him warmly, without any shelf of a prince.
And Huai Wang Guo Xu is much more restrained and calm, he is tall but not stupid, and his body is very well-proportioned, which can be described as dignified. No matter sitting or standing, the posture is upright, and it has a steady momentum like Mount Tai. This may have something to do with his experience in the army in a border town, the whole person is as tall and quiet as a javelin, and there is a faint sense of daunting majesty and depth.
The temperaments of the two princes are almost very different, and the attitude of the people on the table towards them is quite clear. The guests talked to the eldest prince and greeted the second prince politely, not saying more nonsense. Only a few people seem to prefer to talk to the second prince, but they are not interested in the eldest prince.
The two princes had a very good attitude towards Lin Jue. The eldest prince Guo Mian likes Lin Jue's poems and articles, and he can recite several poems casually. Lin Jue could see that Guo Mian's closeness to him was from the heart. Guo Xu's attitude towards himself is a kind of polite respect, which is actually more in line with Lin Jue's psychological expectations. As a prince, he can't express his preferences casually, Guo Mian's undisguised personality is more like a child of an ordinary family, and Guo Xu's reserve and introverted attitude is more like the attitude that a prince should have.
After the banquet began, Lin Jue was naturally the focus of the banquet. After all, the dual identity of the new champion Lang and the east bed of the Liang Wangfu, coupled with Lin Jue's poetry and articles that have long been famous in the capital, coupled with the anecdote of catching his son-in-law on the list that day, naturally aroused everyone's curiosity about this young man with a modest attitude.
However, they soon lost interest in Lin Jue, because Lin Jue neither refused to join their topic to talk about the things they were interested in, nor was he like a talented man who was drunk to the point of drinking. Therefore, the focus of Lin Jue's banquet was quickly replaced by another person, that is, Guo Mian, the king of Jin.
Guo Mian talked and laughed at the banquet, the wine was dry, and the enthusiasm was like fire. One moment reciting poems, the other reciting articles, it was really full of interest. For these literati, it is naturally very appetizing. On the other hand, Guo Huai only sat quietly and smiled, and when someone toasted, he took a sip, and when no one toasted, he sat quietly and was silent, looking very self-controlled. The more Lin Jue looked at it, the more interesting he felt, it was a strange thing that the personalities of these two princes were so different. However, while Lin Jue secretly observed the two princes, he also found that Guo Huai's eyes were also rolling on his body from time to time. When the eyes of the two met occasionally, Guo Huai also took the initiative to raise a toast for the first time, as if he respected Lin Jue very much.
Guo Mian has a lot of wine, but he can't stand his wine until the cup is dry. Soon after, he was swaying and a little drunk. Guo Kun persuaded him in a low voice, asking him to be more restrained, but Guo Mian smiled and asked, "What?" Are you afraid that I will drink too much in your house and make you ugly? Guo Kundang was speechless. He knows his cousin, and it can be said that he is a drunkard, and he will get drunk every time he drinks. Guo Kun is not worried that he is drunk, but that he is drunk and talking nonsense, which has precedents.
After forcing Lin Jue to drink a glass of wine, Guo Mian patted Lin Jue's shoulder and smiled: "Cousin-in-law, I really admire you." I've wanted to meet you ever since I read your song "Water Tune Song Head". I'm going to see what kind of person can write such good words. It's just amazing. In the 100 years since my Great Zhou, there have been so many famous scholars and great Confucians, and I think that in the future, you will surpass them all. What I didn't expect was that you actually became my cousin-in-law. Well, I can ask you for advice on poetry at any time. You promised me that you would be the first to give me a new word to read in the future, you say? ”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "King Jin has won the award, Lin Jue just loves to dance and ink, and occasionally gets some eye-catching sentences, and he also racks his brains with exhaustive thoughts." can't afford the praise of King Jin. ”
Guo Mian shook his head and said, "Don't be too humble, just be responsible." Who can write a sentence like 'I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together', and who can write a sentence like 'I refuse to live on all the cold branches, and the lonely sandbar is cold'? Read your poems and you will know that you are a man of character. And I also told you that I have read the plays you wrote, and someone brought me a few copies of "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" signed by you from Hangzhou. I like all the tight. Don't you know that you have opened a theater in the outer city? I also sneaked a look. The scene of the show is really unheard of and unseen. I asked, you designed all the lines for the scenery and shadows. You're a genius. Admire and admire, admire the five-body throw. ”
Some of the people on the table went to the theater to watch the play "Butterfly". But they didn't know that the theater was opened by Lin Jue, and they didn't know that all the lighting and stage effects in this book were designed by Lin Jue.
"Original...... Then the theater is Lin Zhuangyuan's industry? Everything was arranged and designed by Lin Zhuangyuan himself? That's pretty impressive. Shilin is full of excitement, and they are all asking where this theater is designed behind the sacred. Awesome, really awesome. Everyone said.
"It's just a small industry, not enough to worry about. I spent a lot of money, so I opened a small theater with my friends, and thought of some small tricks to attract people to watch the theater and earn some money for eating and drinking. You are welcome to come and cheer, and it is naturally free for you to go. Hahaha. Lin Jue wasted no time in advertising his theater, and these people were willing to go there because they couldn't ask for it. These are high-end customers.
"Haha, Lin Zhuangyuan is really good at laughing. Lin Zhuangyuan is a coquettish guest in the palace of King Liang, will he still lack silver flowers? I heard that Lin Zhuangyuan's own family background is also a wealthy family in Hangzhou, and it is really a joke to say that there is a lack of silver flowers. "One of the guests got drunk and started talking without thinking. Immediately attracted everyone's eyebrows and eyebrows.
Lin Jue didn't care, he married the little county lord, and many people would definitely think that he was trying to cling to the powerful. This one's words are quite light, and he only vaguely mentioned money, I am afraid that more people think of him in order to seek an official position.
"Below is the Lin family's three-room concubine, and my Lin family's property is not for me to squander. Besides, I have the ability to support myself, so why should I spend other people's money. The adult laughed. Lin Jue said lightly.
This is called bright and fair, Lin Zhuangyuan can say this calmly, which shows that Lin Zhuangyuan is open-minded. The so-called heroes don't ask about their origins, how about their concubines? It may not be impossible to be famous all over the world. Someone gave a heartfelt compliment. In this era when the family is extremely important, it is a courageous thing to be able to openly confess his identity as a concubine. Many people are afraid that they can't hide it.
Guo Xu, the king of Huai, who was sitting there quietly, looked at Lin Jue straight for a moment before retracting his gaze. He is the son of Concubine Mei, even if he is the son of the emperor, it is inevitable that there will be a distinction between the eldest and the youngest. Although the emperor's concubines were of noble status, the influence in this regard was not very great. But in one thing, it's really the most important measure. That is the qualification to inherit the throne. Princes are theoretically eligible to inherit the throne, but there is a clear boundary and gap between the eldest son born to the queen and the prince born to the concubine. To this extent, Guo Xu and Lin Jue have a sense of sympathy.
"Don't talk about that. It's rare to meet here today. Lin Jue, a poet everyone, is here, I am also a person who loves to dance and write, and most of the adults here are also poetry masters, why don't we write poems and fill in the lyrics? Guo Mian smiled with a wide tongue.
"Alright, alright, this proposal is good." Everyone applauded and laughed.
Lin Jue's head is big, what he is most afraid of is this, he carried a few poems in order to become famous, but after that, anyone he met would be asked to write one, just like playing monkey, it was really not what he wanted. But now, King Jin's face can't help but give it, and it seems that he has to search his intestines and scrape his stomach again.
"I heard that there are a few famous singers in the second uncle's mansion, is the second uncle willing to ask them to come out and sing new words?" Guo Mian smiled drunkenly and said to Guo Bing, the king of Liang who was sitting there caressing his beard and silent.
Guo Bing smiled and said: "Since the King of Jin has this Yaxing, how can the second uncle sweep your interest, but there are no good singers in my house, there are a few singing voices that are acceptable, and the rhythm is also clear, or you can listen to it." ”
"Good!" Guo Mian raised his glass and clapped and laughed. Naturally, everyone in the audience also applauded.
Huai Wang Guo Xu sat there but frowned, thought for a while and finally spoke: "Big brother, today is the banquet for my cousin's newlyweds, we are all here to congratulate, this occasion should be solemn." Drinking too much is already inappropriate, so how can this feast become your daily feast and amusement? It's not good. ”
Everyone smiled, and they didn't dare to speak. To be honest, it's a bit of an impropriety. This is not an ordinary feast, how can you sing poems and lyrics here, and invite singers to sing. Isn't this a carnival?
Guo Mian's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he glared at Guo Xu and said, "Second brother, what are you talking about?" Poetry and lyrics are elegant things, and this is not a fuss, but a fun. If you don't understand poetry and articles, you naturally think that others are making trouble. Truth be told, it's the things you like to dance with guns and sticks that make a fuss. Are we all like you, who have to play with swords and guns and sweat profusely when we drink with others? If you don't feel interested, you can sit and drink and don't spoil our fun. ”
Guo Mian's words are very serious, this is directly not giving Guo Xu face. Even Lin Jue felt that it was a bit too much to talk like this. Lin Jue thought to himself: Will Guo Xu turn against him? Are the two brothers going to quarrel here? With the psychology that watching the excitement is not a big deal, I am looking forward to Guo Xu's counterattack.
However, Lin Jue's expectations were disappointed. Guo Xu only frowned and arched his hand: "What the big brother taught me is that I talk too much." ”
Then Guo Xu obediently returned to his seat, his face was really unchanged, as if the right thing had never happened at all.
Lin Jue felt more and more interesting, and the relationship between these two princes was really intriguing. It may seem that the eldest prince is stronger, but is this really the case? Huai Wang Guo Xu showed such restraint, I am afraid that there is something else in it.
