Chapter 40: Invitation
Today's three watches, two watches, ask for collections, ask for tickets
##
In the elegant hall in the backyard of "Hefeng Building", there are three people sitting, Li Chong in a white robe and black face, Yan Biyun in a purple shirt, and Su Jin in a green shirt, and there is not even a maid waiting in the huge elegant hall.
The wound on Su Jin's head had a faint scar, and it seemed that he was fine, but his spirit seemed to be a little sluggish; Also absent-minded was Yan Biyun, coupled with Li Chong, who was already silent, the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely dull.
Judging from the seat, today's main seat is Li Chong, and Su Jin can guess from this detail that Li Chong seems to be doing this banquet today as a send-off for himself, not Yan Biyun's send-off banquet, Yan Biyun and Li Chong only met through Song Shaoqing, and it seems that there is no need to reveal his whereabouts to Li Chong.
From this point, Su Jin felt a little vanity, he had known Yan Biyun for more than 20 days, and Yan Biyun said goodbye to him when he was leaving, which shows that this Yan Dongjia is still a friend to him, maybe not just a friend.
The three of them sat for a long time, but Yan Biyun felt that Li Chong was very bad like this, so she broke her silence and reminded: "Li Gongzi, didn't you say that you have something to say to Su Gongzi?" Don't talk about it now, when will it be? ”
Li Chong hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of food in his mouth, stood up and said to Su Jin: "Su Gongzi, Li Chong was offended by his words that day, so I came to apologize today. ”
Although Su Jin and Li Chong have only met twice, they have already preliminarily figured out Li Chong's character, this is a master who is quick to speak and sensitive to his heart, with a lot of poems and books in his stomach, but his mouth is very stupid, and he will offend people if he doesn't say three sentences; And Li Chong himself is ignorant, not the kind of arrogance that deliberately finds fault.
For people with this kind of character, Su Jin can only classify him as a nerd, so how can he care about him? In fact, Li Chong's character also has cuteness, one of which is that he can change his mistakes and never be pretentious; Like this time, Su Jin's real identity is actually just a businessman, in the eyes of the world, although the businessman has a lot of money, he is still the object that scholars and literati are unwilling to befriend.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, although the status of merchants was improved, there was no discrimination against merchants, and even the Song Dynasty criminal system stipulated that intermarriage regardless of the origin of the family, and the more stable the society, the higher the wealth, the more respected the people, so the merchant is no longer synonymous with 'profiteer', 'mercenary', 'lust for profit', and 'no profit can not be early'; but even so, in the traditional view of thousands of years, the characteristics of the merchant are exactly what the literati try to stay away from.
And Li Chong's identity is a little scary, he was born in the township test in the second year of Baoyuan, and was originally awarded the post of county order, but unfortunately his father died of illness, so Ding was worried at home; His father Li Rui'an was an official to the prefect of Shouzhou, and his grandfather also achieved the state official level of the fourth grade, which can be described as a scholarly heirloom for three generations of eunuchs, such a person can be so polite to Su Jin, which fully shows that Li Chong is actually just a wooden one, but he is by no means pedantic, he is a casual person, when Su Jin's lyrics moved him, he resolutely chose to apologize to Su Jin, and did not choose to ignore it.
Of course Su Jin understands this, although he doesn't know Li Chong's identity and background, but Song Quan, a person like Song Quan, who is from a high-ranking official and a big family, can make friends with Li Chong, and he rushed from the capital to see him, so it can be seen that Li Chong must also be a person in that circle.
Su Jin smiled and bowed back: "Why should Brother Li take it to heart, and specially prepared a banquet, so that Su Jin was flattered." ”
Li Chongdao: "It should be so, Su Gongzi has been in Luzhou City for more than ten years, and he didn't find a talented man hidden in the city, which is really embarrassing." ”
Su Jin smiled and humbled a little, but listened to Li Chong say again: "Master Su, there is a reluctant invitation below, I don't know if it can be abrupt?" ”
Su Jin wanted to say: If you are reluctant, please excuse me. But at this moment, he really couldn't speak, so he said: "Listen up! ”
Li Chong's spirit perked up and said: "I founded a poetry club called 'Falling Flowers' with a few friends, presumably Su Gongzi has also heard of it, this poetry club meets every single month and eighteen, I don't know if Su Gongzi is interested?" ”
Su Jin was stunned, he didn't expect that there was nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it, and he was wondering why the people in this literary circle just didn't move, but he didn't expect Li Chong to be one of the initiators, and he was caught.
Although he wanted to say yes very much, Su Jin's stinky problem flared up again, and he frowned and supported his forehead, as if he was embarrassed.
"What, does Su Gongzi have any concerns? In fact, this is just a gathering of Luzhou scholars and some friends who love to write lyrics, and it doesn't take much effort to live in one day. ”
Where did Li Chong think that Su Jin was actually just selling Guanzi, and he also described how elegant the poem would be, how fun, and how he could see many new words.
Su Jin actually didn't have much interest in these, his purpose in selling Guanzi was to assert his identity, and he was sure that Li Chong would try his best to persuade him, the new king of the poetry world, to participate, so that he would be able to make a mess at the poetry meeting, and Li Chong would not be able to come out to stop him.
"I don't have to worry about anything, I can take out a day's work, but I'm afraid that I will make a lot of trouble at the poetry meeting."
"Where did that come from?"
"Recently, in my spare time, I got a few new words of the beautiful women, and I might as well ask you to give you some advice, but these words are all created by my Su Ji ready-to-wear ladies, if the poetry will be taken out, there is a suspicion of telling Su Ji widely, I am afraid that it will cause everyone to discuss."
Su Jin's brows were tightly locked, showing a kind of sincere sincerity.
Li Chong was stunned when he heard this, on the one hand, Su Jin said that there was a new word coming out, which made him look forward to it, on the other hand, he didn't want Su Jin to seek commercial benefits in his "Falling Flowers" Poetry Society, Li Chong was not a stupid person, he knew that once he nodded, he would condone Su Jin's actions, so he hesitated.
"Mo Dao does not kill the soul, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." Su Jin tapped his fingers on the side of the table and groaned.
Li Chonghe Yan Biyun, who was sitting next to him, looked at Su Jin in disbelief, Su Jin's deliberate words had touched Li Chong's heart, he was itchy and scratched, and said eagerly: "What else?" What else? ”
Su Jin smiled without saying a word, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a red river shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and tasted it methodically.
Yan Biyun was funny and annoyed at the same time, this guy sold Guan Zi at a critical time, which is really hateful.
Li Zhong understood what Su Jin meant, and no longer hesitated at the moment, and arched his hand: "Su Gongzi, I officially invite you to participate in the "Falling Flowers" club assembly on May 18, and I also invite Su Gongzi to come." ”
"Dare to disobey!" Su Jin is no longer hypocritical, and the two sides have reached a consensus tacitly.
Li Chong actually has bitterness and can't say, although he is a literati, but the competitive heart is not without it, "Falling Flowers" and Bianliang's "Autumn Clouds" Club and the "Shuangyan" Club that accompanies the capital of Tianfu are equally famous, and poetry masterpieces are also endless, but there has never been a good word in the club that can overwhelm the other two poetry clubs, but Bianliang's "Autumn Clouds" Club has frequent good words in the first half of the year, and there is an overwhelming trend.
It is true that Bianliang City is an important place in Gyeonggi, and millions of people gather in Bianliang Capital, which must be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many talents; "Autumn Clouds" is more than a year old, the founder is Song Quan and Song Shaoqing, the wrestling between friends is often more intense than strangers, although Li Chong and Song Quan are close friends, but both of them are holding back a force to surpass each other in this regard, for Li Chong, Su Jin's appearance is obviously a gift from God, this poetry society will shine brightly, completely overpowering the other two societies, what a great glory it should be.
Therefore, Li Chongcai was willing to give up part of his insistence and acquiesced in Su Jin's commercial promotion in the poetry society, in order to get the result that he valued more.
Su Jin's plan was completed, his heart was extremely happy, and he couldn't help but see the fierce wine style of later generations naturally revealed, caught Li Chong and drank more than ten glasses, and in the end Li Chong had to stumble and retreat, and when he left, he sighed in a daze: It is worthy of the temperament of a talented man, and the hundred poems of fighting wine are not lies, it seems that if he wants to go further, this amount of wine needs to be practiced.
