I'm just a dude

Chapter 11

When Ruan Hong yelled, everyone in the Juxian Building was shocked, and they all looked at Qi Yuan in unison.

Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, he was done.

The original body is famous outside, and there is that strange face-sacred incident, I don't know how much thought and tongue I have spent in provoking outsiders these years.Like Lu Qiu that day, there are not a few people who doubt him.

Today's Dongchi meeting was originally a good opportunity for Talented Qi to clean up his stigma and make a big splash.But the premise is that Qi Dacai comes by himself.

Qi Yuan's face turned red, and he was a little at a loss when he stood there.Qi Kun was as nervous as he was, standing on the corridor in a daze.

Ruan Hong only thought that he was shy, so he got up and stretched out his hand to pull him.

"Brother Zijing is sitting with his junior brother today, and I am worried that no one will support me." Ruan Hong pulled Qi Yuan to his seat, pushed him to sit down, and said triumphantly, "Now that I have you, I feel relieved. Taifu Yang also came to the banquet today, I heard that he often praised you, show your skills today, and let the people of Songjiang Mansion see how amazing our Shuntian Mansion prodigy is!"

Qi Yuan was so anxious that his mouth was dry, and he stammered: "I... I don't think there is any need for it."

After speaking, he looked around and was taken aback for a moment. The young master was not far away, staring at him and Ruan Hong, frowning resentfully.

Ruan Hong snorted, a little dissatisfied: "Compare, why not compare!" After speaking, he leaned over and said in a low voice, "That Ren Yan was very angry, just scolding me in public for being blind and illiterate, I was so angry for a long time .”

After finishing speaking, she glanced at him again: "Genius Qi, don't you look down on me too?"

The young master over there has been staring at them all the time, if he annoyed Ruan Hong, it would be like losing a talisman.

"How is it possible." Qi Yuan swallowed, and tried to smile, "I'm still waiting to drink your snowflake wine."

Ruan Hong is also a dude, his eyes brighten immediately, and he gets close to him again.

Unknowingly, Qi Yuan's palms and forehead were covered with a thin layer of sweat, and when he looked to the side, Qi Kun also gave him wild winks, obviously wanting to point him to help pass the test.

He was in a hurry here, but suddenly he heard someone laughing not far away, Qi Yuan hurriedly stretched his head to look, and saw Fang Chenghe walking over from the Qulang.

He was still wearing the jade-colored blouse, now he was waving his folding fan, and came at a leisurely pace, as if he hadn't been affected by the little prince at all.

Qi Yuan looked at Ruan Hong and Ren Yan again, although they showed disgust on their faces, they seemed to be apprehensive and curious.He quietly waved his hand and greeted Fang Chenghe.

Fang Chenghe smiled at him and sat down on the empty table next to him.When Qi Kun saw it, he hurried in and sat at the same table with Fang Chenghe.

Ruan Hong snorted, and Fang Chenghe said: "If you want to sit, sit next to it, don't be an eyesore here."

Fang Chenghe just shook his head and sighed: "Brother Ruan, Mr. Fang originally respected you as a hero, and wanted to make friends with you. How could he be provoked by a traitor. After all, you and I have no destiny, that's all."

As soon as he said this, Ren Yan, who was sitting behind him, suddenly changed his expression, and angrily said: "Who are you calling a traitor!"

Fang Chenghe leaned away, gave him a sideways glance, but ignored him, turned his head and continued to talk to Ruan Hong, "To tell the truth, in this Juxian building, the only person who can make Fang know his confidant is Brother Qi Xian. "

Qi Yuan froze, staring at him dumbfounded.

Ruan Hong was surprised: "You two know each other?"

"It's just a one-sided relationship." Fang Cheng said conciliatively, "However, brother Qi Xian's appreciating the painting is quite sharp in one sentence, and I admire it." After he finished speaking, he lightly knocked down the table and winked at Qi Yuan: " Brother Xian, let’s sit next to each other. In this Juxian building, I will obey you.”

I don't know why, when he said this, others looked at Qi Yuan with admiration.

Although Ruan Hong's face was not very good, he did not refuse, and changed positions with Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan's heart fluttered over and sat down, not knowing what kind of medicine Fang Chenghe sold in the gourd.

Fang Chenghe waited for him to sit down, then covered his face with a fan, and quietly asked, "Are you okay just now? I saw them chasing you when I was running, so I hurried back and asked the teacher to help me. How could I think that after I go back They didn't find you, they said you left."

Qi Yuan's heart felt hot, he and Fang Cheng had only met once, yet this person was so loyal.Although he was full of doubts, he still said truthfully: "I happened to meet the third son. He helped out."

Fang Chenghe nodded: "No wonder. Although Ren Yan is not a thing, Xu Yu is still a gentleman." After speaking, he smiled, stepped back, and looked at Qi Yuan again, "This is well dressed, and my brother's demeanor is beyond compare. People can compare!"

Qi Yuan couldn't care less about beauty, he just broke out in sweat.

Fang Chenghe saw something was wrong, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Yuan was so miserable that he couldn't tell, he originally wanted to sit in the back with Qi Kun, in case of any situation, Qi Kun would always be able to fool him.But now it's good... Over there, there is a young master coveting his beauty, and here there is Ruan Hong waiting for him to show his might.

Qi Yuan felt like sitting on pins and needles, swaying left and right, thinking that he might not be able to hide today, and sooner or later the whole world would know about his full belly, so it's better to find out with Brother Fang first.Fang Chenghe is so smart, maybe he can help him think of a way out.

Qi Yuan made up his mind, ruthlessly waved at Fang Chenghe, and whispered, "Brother Fang, let me tell you a secret..."

Xu Ting and Ren Yan sat in the row behind them, and they were a little surprised to see them whispering to each other.

Ren Yan sneered coldly: "A raccoon dog!"

Xu Yu didn't speak, but seeing Fang Cheng and half of his body leaning over, he was startled, laughed and sighed suddenly, and looked twice more before he knew it.

The people below were muttering when they heard the big bell in the hall ring.

The entire Juxian Building quickly fell silent.

Someone muttered in a low voice: "Gong Jijiu is here!"

"Teacher Yang is here too!"

"And Lu Weizhen?!" Lu Weizhen is Lu Xinghe.It is said that when he was summoned by the emperor, Lu Xinghe was the most favored by the emperor, and he was given the word "Vaizhen" immediately.Now he has been the prince's companion for six years.

Many people turned their heads to look at Qi Yuan again.This one was also called into the palace together, but now he is in heaven and earth, the difference between cloud and mud.

How could Qi Yuan know these inside stories.At this moment, everyone was suddenly quiet, so he also shut up, and looked forward together with everyone.

Sure enough, after a while, a middle-aged man with a high forehead, wearing a blessing scarf on his head, and a lotus-colored taoist robe with jade-colored fringe, walked boldly through the main entrance with several other people dressed in similar clothes.

There are seven couplets in the main hall of Juxian Building, and three couplets in each side hall in the east and west. At this time, the doors and windows are open, and the lake wind is strong. In the hall, hundreds of handsome young men and bachelors in lace are sitting in front of each other.

One of the old men had white hair and beard, his eyes skipped the crowd, and he fell directly on Qi Yuan, and nodded secretly.

Fang Chenghe asked in a low voice, "Have you not seen your teacher for six years?"

Qi Yuan was startled, thinking that this is Fang Chenghe's teacher?Such an old man...could it be Taifu Yang?

He still knows Yang Taifu, the only civil and military double champion in this dynasty, the veteran of the three dynasties, and the important minister of the country.Although it is the age of the scorpion, it is still not deaf and blind.

It is said that the emperor thought about his advanced age and allowed him to disarm and return to the field. Who would have thought that there would be rumors outside that he would not have the Sacred Heart and was demoted from office.The emperor recalled him back to the capital again and honored him as Taifu. At the same time, he was exempted from the morning and afternoon courts. During festivals, he was continuously rewarded, which was very honorable to the old minister.

The other thing is that the Taifu once praised the three child prodigies, "Youth is smart, and the talent of worshiping the prime minister will surely make a name for himself in the world".

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan silently swallowed, there was no hope for him to worship a minister, and it was almost the same to worship a Buddha.He regained his composure, and looked at a young man behind the old matriarch, with sword-like brows and high spirits, he guessed it was the child prodigy Lu Xinghe.

After this time of thinking, those people had already sat down in the front seat.

Gong Jijiu stood up again, and led everyone to thank the emperor for his kindness. He said a few words of congratulations, and everyone sat down again.Then a little boy in Tsing Yi came out with a plate, and put two plates of two-color snacks and two bowls of noodle tea on each table.

Qi Yuan turned his eyes and peeked, seeing that Ruan Hong was not moving, Fang Chenghe swallowed a piece of pastry in one gulp, and drank some noodles tea to moisten himself.After putting down the bowl, the little boy in Tsing Yi removed all the things and served green tea.After a while, the tea was removed again, and a Linglong persuasion cup was placed in front of each person's eyes, and the wine was filled up.

This time it was Taifu Yang who stood up to thank them, and Gong Jijiu returned the gift again, serving wine and meat to those people.

Although Qi Yuan loves to drink, he has never seen this kind of scene before, and he was dizzy watching it below.

After tossing and tossing for a while, finally the little boy in Tsing Yi came over again, and set out soy sauce and vinegar dishes, soup spoons, four-color side dishes, and four-color dried fruits for everyone.There is also the sound of silk and bamboo in the side halls on both sides, which means that the ceremony is complete and you can start eating.

Ruan Hong's eyes kept looking up, seeing Jijiu and Taifu talking at this moment, he secretly smiled, took out the snowflake wine he brought from the side, quietly poured it on himself and Qi Yuanman, and secretly handed it to the person behind Xu Yu.

Qi Yuan turned his head and saw that Xu Ting took the wine bag, but she was straight and filled it up in a dignified way, not at all sneaky like Ruan Hong, so he couldn't help but hey secretly, and turned his face to look.

The wine was being secretly passed around here, when the Tai Tuo at the top suddenly coughed lightly.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked up in unison.

Taifu Yang said with a smile: "Today's grand meeting, if there is wine but no poetry, wouldn't it be boring, why don't we make a wine order too."

Everyone below responded and said yes in unison.After all, at least half of the people who came to participate in the Dongchi meeting were to show off their talents and enhance their prestige.Executing drinking orders and discussing the time and literature are the top priorities of their trip.

Taifu Yang nodded and smiled, and looked at Gong Jijiu: "If that's the case, please ask Mr. Gong to issue an order."

However, Gong Jijiu was given to the crown prince to accompany Lu Xinghe: "This is the first time Verity has come to the Dongchi meeting, how about Verity giving orders?"

Lu Xinghe nodded, concentrated for a while, and said: "Now the musicians are playing "Deer Crying", why don't we make a deer-crying order, everyone say two lines of poetry, with the words deer and ming embedded in it."

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a buzzing sound below.

Qi Yuan held his breath and concentrated, but he heard other people's muttering, it was nothing more than complaining that there were too few poems containing the word Luming, and the only few lines that everyone knew, Lu Weizhen was really embarrassing.Or it is discussed that the Luming Banquet is a banquet held for the new imperial examinations after the provincial examination.It's spring, and that's not the right word.

Qi Yuan secretly laughed in his heart.Literati look down on each other, and everyone here is either a descendant of aristocratic family or a talented person from various prefectures.Lu Xinghe is so young, the more famous he is, the more unconvinced others will be.Today's wine orders are nothing more than common vegetation, insects, birds, customs and festivals, but the use of the word "luming" shows that it is ambitious.

Qi Yuan wished that everyone would start a fight, secretly took a sip of his wine, and looked at everyone nervously.

Gong Jijiu still had a normal expression, he asked the boy in Tsing Yi to beat the drums outside the hall, and asked someone to bring in a peach blossom.

The discussion in the hall gradually died down.After all, Gong Jijiu is Guozijian Jijiu and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. He acquiesced to this proposal, and others can only accept it.

Qi Yuan turned his head and saw the peach blossom branch passing from behind, the speed was getting faster and faster.He swallowed secretly, thinking that if he threw it away quickly, he might be able to escape.

The first drum stopped, and the peach blossoms passed to a middle-aged scholar in the middle. The man paused, blushing and said: "Yo Yo Lu Ming, the apple of the wild food."

Someone nearby laughed.

Gong Jijiu nodded and said: "There are two characters of Luming, which is just right."

The middle-aged man bowed gratefully.

The drumming and passing of flowers continued, and then stopped, in front of a young scholar.The young man said: "Lu Ming is elegant at the first night, and the righteousness takes the good and the deep."

Everyone applauded, the peach blossom branch continued to pass down, and two more people picked it up, but they couldn't say anything, so they had to drink as a fine.

Qi Yuan's heart was beating like a drum, and seeing the flower branches being handed to each other, they stopped straight at Xu Yu's table.

Xu Ting sat there motionless, Ren Yan stood up with peach blossoms in his hand, paused for a while, and after everyone's eyes had gathered, he said in a loud voice: "Xiangshan Dian is renamed Thousand Buddhas, and Chenling is promoted to Nine Immortals. Now go to Qionglin Tiantian For the banquet, I will write the Luming chapter first."

As soon as the voice fell, the surroundings immediately burst into applause.

Gong Jijiu also nodded and smiled and said, "Zhao Mingweng writes poems with great strength and broad meaning. Wenying's choice of sentences is good."

Someone next to him smiled and complimented him: "Young Master Ren is well-known and memorized, he is indeed a student of Songjiang Mansion." Gong Jijiu's ancestral home is Songjiang Mansion, so he has a good eye for Ren Yan and takes extra care of him.When others complimented him, he smiled and nodded.

Ren Yan was praised by everyone, but he only bowed modestly, without even the slightest smile on his face.

Qi Yuan curled his lips secretly, thinking that no wonder You Ji didn't like him, this person is too contrived, he doesn't take others seriously.

He was only looking back, but he didn't notice that the Jiegu drum was beating again, and the peach blossom branches were passing all the way, and they came straight to his table.

When Qi Yuan turned his head, the flower branch had just been placed in front of his eyes, he was suddenly taken aback, and hastily reached out to throw it away, but he heard the old lady above cough loudly.

As soon as Qi Yuan picked up the flower branch, the Jiegu outside stopped.

Now the people in the hall were silent at the same time, and looked at him.

There was a "buzz" in Qi Yuan's head, he turned his head stiffly, and stood there dumbfounded.

Everyone looked up and looked at him, Ruan Hong was more excited than anyone else, he stamped his feet and clenched his fists, looking at him expectantly: "Qi Yuan, come on, it's even more powerful!"

Qi Yuan felt that his hair was going to stand on end, his mind went blank, he swallowed with difficulty, and just about to confess, he heard Fang Chenghe next to him clapping his hands and laughing: "Brother Qi Xian is right, wonderful !Muuuuuuuuuuu!"
