The Wind Rises in Shushan Chapter 32 Night Banquet (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The banquet was held at Lin Yuanwai's home. That night, the bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was gentle, the colorful lanterns and candles were lively, and the fragrance of flowers filled the courtyard.

    Under a willow tree in the courtyard, Qi Yue, Lin Yuanwai, Zhang Yuanwai, Qingxuan and others were sitting at a table. They had good wine and delicious food. They had a few drinks in this environment. If it wasn't too lively, this scene would definitely be life-changing.  A great treat.

    Halfway through the banquet, Zhang Yuanwai stood up.  Zhang Yuanwai was a talented scholar, but he did have some talent, but he failed in the exams many times. Later, he went into business with the help of his friends. Unexpectedly, Lin Yuanwai's fortune started rolling in from then on, but Zhang Yuanwai still thought he was unable to do so.  To obtain fame is a great regret in life.

    "Everyone at the table is a talented person. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's get together at the table and have a little discussion. Each of us will write a poem to cheer up the wine. What do you think?"  Ignoring the people at other tables, Zhang Yuanwai just suggested at Qi Yue's table.

    Seeing this, Qingxuan immediately applauded loudly, but then said: "Of course it is good to write poems to cheer up, but everything must have a good start, otherwise this poem will not be done."  Everyone else agreed.

    Over there, Chen Juren asked, "I wonder what the lucky number that Taoist Master Qingxuan is talking about is?".

    "Lottery, of course, is something we care about. Pindao suggested that if my poems are approved by everyone, then Zhang Yuanwai should be asked to buy a piece of land for Pindao on the top of a hill in Shu Mountain, so that Pindao can establish a sect in the future.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s possible?¡±  Obviously, what Taoist Priest Qingxuan wants is the land deed of Mount Emei. Although Taoist Priest Qingxuan knows that people in the cultivation world don't care about this land deed at all, but it is still okay to take it out and disgust Qi Yue.

    "You are good at discussing Taoism, but compared to writing poetry, you are far behind." The Taoist priest Qingxuan was unwilling to fail at noon and decided to save face.

    Zhang Yuanwai smiled and nodded, "As long as Taoist Master Qingxuan's poems pass the test and there is a suitable guarantee, buying the land deed is not a problem."  For Shushan, the secular court did not have much jurisdiction, but if you want to buy land, it is possible, and it is cheaper than outside.

    "Then, let me join in." Chen Juren folded his fan and said calmly.

    "It would be great to have Chen Juren participate." Qingxuan secretly smiled in understanding with Chen Juren.

    Qi Yue watched with cold eyes, knowing that there was something fishy between the two people, and that they might have already reached an agreement to deal with him together.

    I saw Chen Juren laughing: "Then this is the prize I am going to win. It is a land deed. Zhang Yuanwai should consider it."

    Zhang Yuanwai nodded, and then looked at Qi Yue: "I wonder what Chief Qi's intention is?"

    Qi Yue nodded: "Pindao thinks so too. If Pindao's poems are still acceptable, please ask Yuan Zhang to apply for a land deed for Pindao, so that Xiaoxiao won't get in the way."

    "Then it depends on whether Taoist Master Qi has this ability."  Chen Juren looked at Qi Yue with some contempt in his eyes. After all, Qi Yue's age was really unconvincing.

    "But what if you lose?" At this time, Zhang Yuanwai asked another question.

    Chen Juren thought for a while and said: "If my poems are not good, I would like to serve your government wholeheartedly for one year."

    Zhang Yuanwai laughed and said: "This is inappropriate. Chen Juren is a member of the imperial court. How can he live in my small temple? Taoist priests Qingxuan and Qi are even more distinguished people. This is a bit too much."

    As soon as Zhang Yuanwai finished speaking, Qingxuan suddenly said: "According to Chen Juren's wishes, if Pindao loses, he will stay in Zhang Yuanwai's home for a year and be a willing sacrifice."

    At this time, Qi Yue had understood that Qingxuan and the other two were deliberately trying to humiliate him. After all, among the three, the two were alone, and they had originally planned to rely on the Zhang family, but they couldn't do it because they were the leader of the same faction.  Once they lose, the Emei faction will lose face.

    But Qi Yue secretly laughed in his heart, you two rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs also want to frame Pindao. It is okay for Pindao not to memorize a few Tang poems and Song lyrics from his previous life.

    So, Qi Yue also nodded and said: "Since Taoist Master Qingxuan is so courageous, Pindao can't be content with others. It doesn't matter. Pindao agreed. Zhang Yuanwai is devoted to Taoism. Pindao can just serve the Zhang family. Hua  There is nothing wrong with discussing matters with Zhang Yuanwai for a year."

    The lottery numbers were finalized one by one. Only Lin Yuanwai did not participate in the poem competition. As a judge, his identity should still be fair after all.

    As the person who made the suggestion, Zhang Yuanwai was the first to stand up.  Holding the wine flask in his hand, Zhang Yuanwai took square steps and wandered around the willow beside the table.

    After taking a slight sip of the wine, Zhang Yuanwai slowly said: "The sky was bright and clear on May 5th, and poplars circled the river and sang the morning eagle; before the squire left the courtyard, he heard the chorus of harmony on the shore.

    ? ???Good, really good!  ". Qingxuan shouted loudly from the side.

    Chen Juren over there also nodded frequently: "Zhang Yuanwai's poems are really speechless. The poplar flowers surround the river and sing the dawn orioles. The breath of spring is strong and refreshing!"

    Lin Yuanwai couldn¡¯t help but applaud him. Indeed, Zhang Yuanwai¡¯s poems were quite good.

    Only Qi Yue smiled and said nothing, thinking what a coincidence. This poem seemed to be similar to the one he knew in his previous life, except that it was much shorter than the one he knew in his previous life. And this poem was worse than the one he knew in his previous life.  Once you get it, it's just right for you to take advantage of.

    At this time, everyone at the other tables at the party had noticed this. Hearing so many people cheering in unison, Zhang Yuanwai was very proud. Just when he was smug, he saw Qi Yue smiling and saying nothing, and he felt a little unhappy.  He said in confusion: "Taoist Qi refused to say anything. It must be because the poems I wrote are not suitable for Taoist Qi's ears."

    Qi Yue waved his hand: "That's a bad statement. Zhang Yuanwai's poems are fresh and unique. They are indeed good. There are only slight flaws, but they are not serious. If the flaws do not hide the beauty, it can be considered a good poem."

    "oh!".  Zhang Yuanwai immediately became interested, returned to his seat, sat down, and said to Qi Yue: "Then I would like to ask Taoist Master Qi to give me some advice. I wonder if there are any flaws in the poem below?"  This poem was written by Zhang Yuanwai after a long time of preparation during the Dragon Boat Festival in previous years. He thought it was excellent, but when Qi Yue mentioned it, he became a little unconvinced.

    Over there, Chen Juren and Qingxuan also looked at Qi Yue, preparing to see Qi Yue's joke.

    Qi Yue was not in a hurry, and slowly took a sip of the daughter's red wine in the wine glass. He held it with a full posture and slow movements. It was not until everyone present was losing their temper that Qi Yue slowly opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Yuanwai  , I have heard the harmony on the shore, I wonder if it can be changed."

    "How to change it? We have also seen the dragon boat race at noon. In response to the situation, the audience on the shore can be said to be the first to hear the harmony. Is there something wrong with this sentence?"  Before Zhang Yuanwai could say anything, Qingxuan had already jumped out. He was an enemy of his peers, and he had lost to Qi Yue once, so now he disliked Qi Yue everywhere and tried his best to pick on Qi Yue.
