Is it her? The sound is too similar.

If the other party didn't speak softly to Wu Nong, Wang Yan was almost certain that she was the person he cared about.

As soon as Wang Yan arrived in the south, he had already asked someone to bring a letter back to Changsha, firstly to report safety to his clansmen, and secondly, to inquire about her whereabouts.

But he didn't have much hope in his heart, from Shandong to Changsha thousands of miles away, how could she arrive alone with a little girl.

It's not that Wang Yan didn't think about looking for her, but the world is so big, where can he go to find her. He didn't want to admit it, but in fact, he had subconsciously accepted his fate, and the little girl with tears on her face had already passed away with the wind.

For a moment, his whole body fell into the memories of the past.

Just when Wang Yan was in a daze, Xu Niangzi's talent show had reached the stage of poetry, and she improvised a poem for everyone to taste.

"Spring is gone, looking for the west of the wild bridge. Dyeing dreams of pale red and deceiving pink butterflies, locking sorrowful thick green to deceive yellow birds, and hating is not to be mentioned again. If you don't see each other, do you see each other? Worship the moon with fragrance and empty sleeves, cherish flowers without tears to stain clothes, and the mountains are far away and the sunset is low. The words were written by Xu Niangzi and sung from the mouth of the little maid.

The meaning of the words is sad and nostalgic, cold and beautiful, nostalgic for the past, so that everyone can't help but be surprised, how can this Xu Niangzi be in her youth, how can she write such emotional lyrics.

Everyone tasted it, and even poets like Chen Zilong had to recognize her talent.

This reminded him of another talented woman on the banks of the Qinhuai River, the strange woman who had a true relationship with him.

It's a pity that things are wrong, and only endless regrets remain in my heart, which makes Chen Zilong also fall into sorrow.

When everyone was amazed that there would be another famous prostitute like Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the little maid took out a picture of her hometown landscape from the inner room and hung it on the wall for everyone to enjoy.

"In the painting, the distant mountains are foggy, the trees are clear, and the Banqiao houses are dotted among them, and the layout is novel and refreshing."

"This landscape map, with a round pen, the ink is thick, Xu Niangzi has everyone's style!" The crowd gathered around the painting, and naturally there was another round of praise.

So far, Xu Niangzi's four talents of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting have been completely displayed in front of everyone, which has made many famous people admire, and becoming famous Qin Huai is already an ironclad thing.

For such a talented woman, many literati are yearning, and the desire to see Xu Niangzi's true face is getting stronger and stronger.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Li Zhenli was very satisfied, and immediately came out and asked the maid to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for everyone to compose music and paintings, write poems and lyrics.

In addition to the previous chess game, everyone composed, painted, composed, and carried out at the same time, if there is a good work in the heart, it can be written on the rice paper in public, and everyone tastes with Xu Niangzi, two hours later, recognized as the best, you have to meet with Xu Niangzi.

After listening to the rules, everyone pondered and thought about it.

Not long after, the famous Song Zhengyu already had a draft, and immediately wrote down, "The spring stream is half around the Phoenix Terrace." Ten years of flower moon night, pan gold cup. The jade flute whimpered and drew the boat open. The breeze rises and moves to Qinhuai. ”

It is the scene of Qin Huai that is described, and when the people around him sing it, it immediately attracts a burst of applause from everyone.

Hearing the praise of everyone, Song Zhengyu was proud in his heart, and he kept writing, and quickly finished the second half of the word, "Kemeng is back for five changes." Clear the anvil to welcome the wild goose and cross the river. Jingyang Gongjing is broken moss. No one, the autumn rain falls on the palace. ”

Seeing that he finished, no one applauded this time, not that the words were bad, but that the meaning of the words had the meaning of irony of the court situation, except for Zhu Guobi, the prince of Baoguo, the sons of several adults, and the rest were mostly people from Donglin. It is these people who make up the current Hongguang Imperial Court, and they are naturally not good at praise, so they directly let the maidservants be sent into the inner hall for Xu Niangzi to taste.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a good poem was written, which made everyone anxious, and the literati naturally wanted to write a masterpiece, how could Song Zhengyu be beautiful, and Brother Gongzi immediately scratched his ears and cheeks in order to see the beauty.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed, and there were more than a dozen poems, three tunes, and a few paintings among the crowd.

Half of the time has passed, and everyone in the outer hall is enthusiastically involved, but only Wang Yan's table is unmoved, which can make Xu Niangzi in the inner hall anxious.

Another beautiful woman sitting in the inner hall was full of anxiety when she saw Xu Niangzi biting her lower lip, "Sister, I really don't give him some hints!" ”

Xu Niangzi's face turned slightly red, and she hesitated for a while, "He didn't hear my voice, and he didn't look for me, why should he remind him." ”

"I don't know who it is, Wang Gongzi is in front of my sister every day, Wang Gongzi's mention, why is it that people are sending **** now, but it is gone." The beautiful woman looked at Xu Niangzi and deliberately teased: "My sister is not afraid, she will miss the opportunity and be separated from the end of the world from now on." ”

"If I hate it, my sister will bully me." Xu Niangzi was shy for a while,

and played with beautiful women.

"Okay, okay, my sister spares her life, it's my sister's fault." The beautiful woman was scratched by Xu Niangzi uncomfortably, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sister, there is not much time, you just believe in Wang Gongzi's talent and learning!" ”

After listening to the beautiful woman's reminder, Xu Niangzi slowly quieted down, and after a moment of hesitation on her face, she bit her lower lip and called the little maid who was waiting on the side.

Since Wang Yan listened to Xu Niangzi's voice, he couldn't give up, and his mind was full of memories.

Because of his concern about the situation in the world, he buried those memories in the depths of his memory, but now they have all been triggered, which makes Wang Yan's heart ache.

At this time, half of the competition had passed, but Wang Yan didn't realize it, just sat there blankly.

Liu Shun and the others on the side had already noticed his abnormality, but they only thought that he was worried about national affairs, so they didn't take it to heart.

"Prince Wang." I don't know how long later, a call suddenly sounded in Wang Yan's ears, and he slowly came back to his senses.

Wang Yan looked up a little dazedly, only to find that it was a teenage girl who had just called him, and she was staring at him with a pair of big eyes and a curious expression.

As soon as she looked at Wang Yan, the little girl lowered her head shyly, and then took out a crystal clear jade pendant from her sleeve, held it in front of Wang Yan's eyes with both hands and said, "Wang Gongzi, my Xu Niangzi asked me to transfer this jade pendant to you." ”

When Wang Yan saw the jade pendant, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and countless memories instantly appeared in his mind.

"Childe, the night is cold, Daddy asked me to send a blanket for Childe."

"No matter what happens, don't make a sound, don't come out, you know?"

"Take it and go to the Wang family outside Changsha City, our people will definitely take it in you when they see this token."

A face with tears on his face, crying pear blossoms and rain appeared in Wang Yan's mind, he was almost in tears, a name buried in his heart, couldn't help but come out of his mouth, "It's Yan Yan!" ”

"Take me to her!" Wang Yan stood up suddenly, pulled up the little maid with surprise on his face, and went to the inner hall.

"Childe?"

"Brother Wang?" Liu Shun, Xia Wanchun and others on the side suddenly exclaimed when they saw him suddenly like this.

This sudden scene attracted the attention of all the people in the outer hall.

At this time, everyone was racking their brains, writing poems and music, or painting, trying to win the jackpot and the beautiful woman for a while.

Those boys who were a little less talented were already in a hurry, but they suddenly saw a person who ignored the rules and went straight to the inner hall, and he was immediately furious.

This kind of behavior is really unbearable for uncles and aunts.

Seeing this, Zhu Guobi's face couldn't help but tremble, and he suddenly blocked Wang Yan. "Bold, where did Meng Lang boy come from, don't you understand the rules? I actually want to break in! ”

"Who is this man?"

"Xu Niangzi, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

For a while, a group of people surrounded Wang Yan.

Seeing this, Xu Yanyan in the inner hall couldn't help but be in a hurry, and immediately came out to relieve Wang Yan, but fortunately the beautiful woman on the side stopped her. "My sister is gone, and it's only going to be more chaotic."

After being persuaded by the beautiful woman, Xu Yanyan also calmed down, she is not a free person after all, and she has to think about Mei Xianglou. If she goes out at this time, Mei Xianglou's activities tonight will be completely ruined, and she may even offend the dignitaries in the outer hall.

For a while, she couldn't help but regret the gift of the jade pendant.

Seeing that he was surrounded, Wang Yan also calmed down, knowing that his recklessness might bring trouble to Xu Yanyan, so he didn't break in again, but the people who surrounded him would not let him go easily.

Seeing this, Chen Zilong and others hurriedly came up to relieve the siege, but not everyone would sell his face.

"Looks poor and sour, and still wants to see Mrs. Xu, isn't it a joke?" Zhu Guobi smiled again, "It doesn't look like you have any talent, and your father-in-law won't pursue Er's abrupt mistakes, so you will get out of Meixianglou for me now." ”

Zhu Guobi actually humiliated Wang Yan so much, which made Chen Zilong's face change, and he wanted to reason with him immediately. When Liu Shun and Qian Yifeng on the side heard this, they were immediately furious and immediately prepared to step forward to make a move.

Although Wang Yan was also very angry in his heart, he had calmed down at this time, and hurriedly stopped Liu Shun and the others with his eyes, and then grabbed Chen Zilong, glared at Zhu Guobi angrily and said, "As a member of the imperial court, is there only such cultivation?" Yan Wu has no talent to learn, but I don't know how many taels you have. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Guobi was not shocked to expose, as a national prince, he can be described as a high and powerful position, and he has always been flattered by others, when did anyone dare to despise him so much.

At that moment, Zhu Guobi was ready to teach a good lesson to the kid in front of him, but Wang Yan's words reminded him.

There are so many literati and sons in the hall, if he lets people do it, he will definitely fall into a bad reputation of being oppressive and become a joke among scholars and courtiers, which is indeed not good for him.

As a prince, he has to be mindful of his influence.

But let him let Wang Yan go, it is obviously impossible.

A well-educated man in the south of the Yangtze River, a talented young scholar, Zhu Guobi basically knew that he had never seen Wang Yan in front of him, and Wang Yan was dressed ordinary, not like a celebrity, so he thought he was just an ordinary disciple of Chen Zilong.

"Today, don't say that your country is bullying the small, since you think you are quite talented, I will give you a chance." At present, Zhu Guobi already has a way to humiliate Wang Yan, "If you can rely on your own talent to make good poems and good words and win the first place, then you are rude to your own country, and your country's general will not blame the past, but if you can't get a good work, you will have to taste the humiliation of your crotch." ”
