Seeing the light in Ouyang Xiu's eyes, Xu Ping felt a little embarrassed, and said vaguely: "Luck!" By the skin of one's teeth! ”

"To be modest! How can the matter of the article be said to be a fluke? To be systematized, neatness is still secondary, the most important thing is quite poetry, the artistic conception is all out, and it is implicit but not revealed, and the poet is also wonderful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Bachelor's first order, very stylish, but eight points on this couplet. ”

Xu Ping only felt sweat on his forehead, the conscience of heaven and earth, he just at that time, unconsciously blurted out this sentence that he had memorized in his previous life. I didn't care about it at the time, and I naturally didn't care about it afterwards. And if he was asked to say what was good about this sentence, he really couldn't say, he just thought it was good.

Seeing Ouyang Xiu and several young officials looking at him with blank eyes, they obviously wanted to hear their feelings. It's a great thing to be praised by Yan Shu, and it will spread all over Kaifeng City tomorrow.

Xu Ping thought for a while, and finally could only smile bitterly: "A fool has a thousand thoughts, there must be one, it's really just a fluke!" ”

Ouyang Xiu and the others couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw that Xu Ping didn't seem to be a fake. I thought that Xu Beizhi had made great progress in poetry recently, and a new star was rising in the literary world. Poetry requires extreme ingenuity to show skill, and occasionally there are one or two wonderful sentences, which only show some talent, and there are still 108,000 miles away from Dacheng.

At this moment, Han Qi, Wang Su and Ji Ying came together, followed by a person, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Yijian's second son, Lu Gongbi? Last time, Lu Gongbi came to Xu's Mansion on his father's order to express his apologies, who thought that Xu Ping would not see the guests at all, so he had no choice but to return empty-handed. Lu Yijian didn't give up, and sent it again this time.

The Lu family started from Lu Yijian's uncle Lu Mengzheng, but in this generation, it was Lu Yijian who was supporting the lintel. All the nine sons of Lü Mengzheng were made up as officials and did nothing, while Lü Yijian's brothers were all born in Jinshi, and the political resources left by Lü Mengzheng were basically inherited by Lü Yijian. Lu Yijian is well aware of the difficulties of the continuation of the family in this era, the eldest son Lu Gongxuan came out early and took care of the chores of the family, and Lu Yijian's hopes are all pinned on the other three sons, especially the second son Gongbi and the third son. Lu Gongbi and Lu Gongshu did not disappoint their father, they traveled to many scholars, and their poems and essays were also a temporary choice, and it was rare that they were also quite accomplished in scripture and learning, and they were praised and had a promising future.

However, Lu Yijian is already in his sixties, how many years can he take care of his children and grandchildren? If he really offended Xu Ping, no matter how talented his sons were, it was not uncommon for them to die depressed. How did he deal with his political opponents, and wouldn't Xu Ping use the same means? Leave a line in officialdom, and talk well in the future, Ding Wei will put his political enemies to death at every turn, and most of the final endings will be bleak.

The four of them stepped forward together, greeted Yan Shu, Ding Du, Xu and Ping, and saw that the scene was warm, and asked Zeng Gongliang on the side: "What was the excitement just now, we missed it?" ”

"Bachelor Yan has made a new song, which is very good. One of the most subtle couplets is a wonderful sentence by Xu Beizhi, which is also the best choice in Tang poetry, and everyone praises it! ”

These people were most familiar with Xu Ping in the same year, and they always felt that Xu Ping was not careful about poetry, but they didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity to shine, so they hurriedly pulled and asked to understand. After listening, several people shook their heads, they really underestimated this wine seller before, but I don't know when they were able to stand out in poetry.

At this time, the sun was rising and the weather was getting hotter, Xu Ping beckoned everyone to sit in the shed, pick the watermelon that was just ripe, cut it, and distribute it to everyone to eat. For a while, the melon fragrance overflowed, and everyone was satisfied.

The servant of the house carried a wooden barrel filled with water from the well, and put ice cubes and went straight to it, chilling the fine fruit wine. He set wine glasses on the long table in the shed, and poured wine for all those present.

Yan Shu shook the glass lightly, looked at the dream-like color of the wine inside, and said to Xu Ping: "Recently, it has been popular in the capital to drink this iced fruit wine, and it is still transmitted from the mansion to be prepared. The weather is prevalent, and the heat is unbearable, and drinking this wine is really refreshing and refreshing. It's just that good wine is rare, and the wine bought outside is always unsatisfactory. ”

Hearing this, where did Xu Ping not know what it meant? Busy said: "Don't hide it, my family relied on winemaking to support my family before I became a jinshi, and there are quite a few recipes, and the wine produced is extraordinary." If the bachelor doesn't dislike it, he will let his family pick up a burden and send it to the house, and Fang Zi will also send it. ”

Yan Shu smiled: "How can I be greedy for the wine in your house?" If it's just a recipe, you can still get it. ”

The two are not familiar with each other, so the gift giving is too blunt, but the wine side is only regarded as a literati and elegant thing. Officials give gifts to each other, and if the scale is a little larger, they can't hide from people, and if it's not a festival, it's not a special day, and it will be remembered by someone who cares about it. Generally speaking, there will be records in the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial City Division, but they will not be turned out.

Xu Ping also begged Yan Shu for nothing, so he immediately asked someone to fetch the wine and recorded a copy for Yan Shu to keep. This wine recipe was actually improved by Xu Ping according to the experience of his previous life, and the so-called secret recipe was just a pretext.

On such a hot day, a glass of ice wine in the stomach makes the whole person feel refreshed. Everyone was in good spirits, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, discussing poems and texts, or interesting things in the court.

The singers on the side can't be idle, Xu Ping spent money to hire someone for the first time, there is no reason to waste it, let them play some familiar tunes by themselves, sing some small songs they usually sing, but the voice is smaller, as a background. As soon as the voice sounded, it turned out to be the word of the willow three changes, the so-called "where there is well water, there is the word willow", which is not an exaggeration.

However, Liu Sanbian learned the lesson just now, and just thought that the word had nothing to do with him, and discussed the poems and texts with a group of low-level officials, and said some interesting stories on the streets and alleys. Although Liu Sanbian is a passerby in Fujian, he grew up in the capital with his father, who was an official, and lingered in Qinglou all day long, sleeping in flowers and willows. At that time, Xu Ping, a street boy who only knew how to gamble all day long, was not in his eyes, and he looked no different from a street gangster. The romance is the elegance of the literati, not the splash of street gangsters, and now when I look at it again, I can't help but sigh in my heart.

Lu Gongbi saw the opportunity, let Wang Su take it, came to Xu Ping, and saluted: "The waiting system has been unwell recently, and my father is also very worried when he hears about it. It's just that he is entangled in all kinds of things, and he can't come to visit him in person, so he sent me to greet him. If you need any good medicine to be prepared, or there is a shortage in the house, you can let me know, but if I have it at home, I will definitely send it as soon as possible, so I don't miss it! ”

Xu Ping looked at Lu Gongbi and smiled: "A few days ago, the Holy Lord also sent someone to say this, could it be that your family can compare to the Imperial Medicine Academy?" It's not a serious illness, and you don't need to work so hard! ”

Wang Su coughed: "Yunxing, Baochen is also a good intention, why do you refuse people thousands of miles away?" The government and politics are all official affairs, even if Lu Xianggong offends you in anything, he has no intention, don't be angry outside the court. Knowing that you are not feeling well, Lu Xianggong repeatedly asked Baochen to come to see you, and he can already see his intentions. Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and they must be harmonious. (To be continued.) )
