Chapter 20: How can the elder sister's poem drive people crazy?
I heard the child sitting on the ground with a depressed look on his face say these words to me.
The slovenly man couldn't help but smile, and then he said, "May I ask if this young master is from the Su Mansion? If so, please let me know that Xun Kuang from the Imperial College is here to meet Miss Chang'an and Miss Linhan."
When Su Zhaoxin heard that this man was looking for his two sisters, he immediately stood up and looked him up and down.
He was very polite, but too sloppy. Not only did he wear white clothes, but he also dragged them on the ground, making them dirty! What a bad taste!
What a joke! You're not even as good looking as me in a white dress!
And that beard
It’s not as good-looking as the fake beard I made myself!
Long one.
You are so-so, not as handsome as me!
In summary
Not pleasing to the eye!
It’s fine if you just meet my second sister, but you dare to come to see my eldest sister in this state!
From the Imperial College!
I hate the Imperial College the most!
The teacher at home always told them to study hard and go to the Imperial College when they grew up.
Can’t I learn it without going to the Imperial College?
My invincible poem, could someone from the Imperial College write it? ?
Immediately, Su Zhaoxin said with an annoyed look: "The Imperial College is so great?"
Xun Kuang was stunned for a moment and then said, "It's nothing special, just a place to study."
Su Zhaoxin curled his lips and said, "Why, studying is also a big deal, right?"
Xun Kuang was stunned, not knowing what was wrong with this young master who was obviously of high status just by looking at his clothes, but he still said, "It's nothing special, but I came here, I have to report my origins, right? Besides, reading is nothing special, just learning a few words and holding a book for show, it's nothing compared to you sitting here and thinking about the mysteries of the world."
Su Zhaoxin was stunned for some reason, but he felt a little more favorable when he saw the slovenly man in front of him. Then he said, "That's a nice thing to say. If you praise me a few more times, I will let you meet my third sister. But my third sister has gone to my second uncle's place and will not be back for a while, so you have to wait. As for my second sister, you can't even meet my eldest sister, you look like this, don't even think about it."
Yes, he is indeed the young master of the Su family. At this age, he should be one of the twins of the fourth master of the Su family.
Hmm! He really has the demeanor of the Fourth Master!
Xun Kuang thought for a moment and continued, "Master Su, you seem a little melancholy here alone. Is there something on your mind? I am best at giving people advice."
Su Zhaoxin looked at Xun Kuang again, and then asked, "How are you doing in school? How are you doing compared to my elder sister and second sister?"
But after asking this question, Su Zhaoxin shook his head: "No, looking at you like this, I know you can't compare with my second sister, let alone my eldest sister. My eldest sister's poems even made my grandfather feel deeply moved."
Xun Kuang was helpless, but still said: "Generally, my commentary on scriptures is not as good as Miss Linhan's. As for Miss Changan, I am a little lacking in poetry."
The meaning of the words is
I am not as good as Su Linhan in scripture annotation, but I am better in other aspects.
In terms of poetry and songs, I am slightly inferior to Su Changan at the moment. As for the rest, I don’t know for now.
but
Su Zhaoxin couldn't hear it, he just shook his head and sighed: "Hey, you are not that good as a student of the Imperial College."
After saying that, he looked at Xun Kuang and said, "It's not easy for you either. You don't look like a scholar. You must have spent money to use connections to get into the Imperial College. No wonder you are dressed like this. But you look like this. I guess I can't let you meet my third sister. But you are lucky to meet me. It happens that I wrote a poem recently. You can study it. You may learn the essence of it. I will test you then. If I am satisfied, it is not impossible for me to let you meet my third sister."
Xun Kuang was amused. He was not one to follow conventions, so he immediately bowed to Su Zhaoxin and said, "Please teach me, Master Su."
Seeing how well-behaved Xun Kuang was, Su Zhaoxin looked at Xun Kuang again and felt that there were more pleasing things about him.
Then he didn't waste any time and immediately recited his "Invincible Poem".
But this poem is on my lips.
Su Zhaoxin saw his third uncle Su Zifeng coming over.
"You little rascal! You felt that the beating your uncle gave you this morning was not enough, didn't you?" Su Zifeng saw Xun Kuang bowing to Su Zhaoxin from a distance.
He immediately quickened his pace and rushed over, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xun Kuang turned around and saluted immediately when he saw Su Zifeng: "Master Su."
Although Su Zifeng did not enter the officialdom, he was in charge of the affairs of the Su family's Nuo family mansion, as well as some of the Su family's bookstores, farms, and other matters.
But in order to make things easier, he also had an idle job as an eighth-rank assistant lawyer, so he was worthy of the title of Lord Su.
Su Zifeng bowed to Xun Kuang and said, "Xun Siye, this child is ignorant and offended Siye. Please forgive me."
Xun Kuang glanced at Su Zhaoxin and said, "Mr. Su is not an ordinary person."
Su Zifeng smiled bitterly, glared at Su Zhaoxin who seemed a little proud when he heard Xun Kuang praising him, and immediately said, "Please."
Xun Kuang stopped being polite immediately.
Su Zhaoxin looked at Xun Kuang from behind. Why did he find this slovenly guy more and more pleasing to the eye? !
You can tell that I'm not an ordinary person!
But just when Su Zhaoxin was about to follow him and find an opportunity to give his poem to Xun Kuang, he saw his sister staring at him at the side of the door.
Su Zhaoxin came over immediately.
But this hasn't been spoken yet.
Bang!
Su Wan'er raised her foot and kicked Su Zhaoxin directly: "You were beaten by your uncle this morning and ran all over the house. Do you want to be beaten again?"
Su Zhaoxin rubbed his buttocks, "We hit each other when we meet. If the master hits you, you can't take it out on me."
Su Wan'er rolled her eyes and said, "That's Master Xun Kuang. If your uncle finds out about your rudeness, he will definitely beat you up again!"
Su Zhaoxin said angrily, "Isn't he just someone who paid money to enter the Imperial College?"
Su Wan'er raised her hand to hit him, but Su Zhaoxin dodged it.
Then Su Zhaoxin said anxiously: "Su Wan'er! I am your brother! And your hands are like that. I don't feel any pain when you hit me, but you cry in pain. What should I do?!"
Su Wan'er rolled her eyes at Su Zhaoxin: "Come with me now, and apologize with me later. That Lord Xun is a great scholar that even grandpa says is as knowledgeable as the entire Imperial College. If you make him unhappy, not to mention that your uncle will come back to deal with you, grandpa might even beat you up!"
The knowledge is equivalent to that of the entire Imperial College? ?
Just him?
Can this be comparable to the entire Imperial College?
The Imperial College was not a remarkable place.
Good job!
Then I am even more knowledgeable! !
Su Zhaoxin blinked and looked at Xun Kuang's back which was getting farther and farther away.
Su Wan'er had no idea what was going on in her brother's innocent little head. She only felt that he was shocked by Xun Kuang's identity, so she didn't say anything more: "Hurry up!"
Su Zhaoxin swallowed and followed his sister.
Very good, I don’t need to study anymore in the future. What’s the point of studying even if I have the most knowledge!
…
Su Zifeng led Xun Kuang into the hall.
Just now, after learning from the servants who were watching from the door that Su Zhaoxin was fine, that Xun Kuang had arrived, they had already asked people to prepare for the reception.
So when we entered the hall, tea and snacks were already prepared on the table.
After the two of them sat down, Su Zifeng said, "My father and brother have both entered the palace, so I am the only one who can entertain Xun Siye. I hope Siye will forgive me."
Xun Kuang immediately said, "Master Su, you are too polite. If those two come out, I will be uncomfortable."
One is the current Grand Tutor, and the other is the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
They are all high-ranking officials.
As a dean, he felt very uncomfortable in the presence of these two people.
Su Zifeng knew the reason and asked Xun Kuang not to be polite.
Xun Kuang was not a person who would waste time, so he immediately said, "I came here today to meet Miss Chang'an and Miss Linhan, and to present you with an invitation to the Early Winter Poetry Festival."
As he spoke, Xun Kuang took out two elegant green scrolls from his arms.
Su Zifeng knew that Su Changan and Su Linhan would be invited, but he didn't expect that Xun Kuang would come in person. He immediately said, "How could the two nieces deserve Si Ye to come in person?"
Xun Kuang glanced at the servant who was leaving, then smiled helplessly: "There are no servants here. If you continue to speak to me so politely, Su Zifeng, I will just take it away."
Su Zifeng immediately smiled and said, "There is a huge difference in status. You are now the Si Ye Lord. I am only an eighth-rank Xie Lu Lang."
Xun Kuang looked at Su Zifeng with disdain: "Master Su is now extremely wealthy, and all my classmates are envious of him. Whenever we have dinner together and talk about him, we all feel that it is very difficult to invite Master Su now."
Su Zifeng smiled and shook his head. When it comes to talking, Xun Kuang is still the best!
The two studied together for three years, but Su Zifeng's academic performance was average, so he returned home halfway through.
Now that Xun Kuang has firmly established himself as the Dean of the Imperial College, everyone in the capital knows that the next Chief Academician of the Imperial College will definitely be Xun Kuang. By then, he will be promoted to a high position and will be granted the title of nobility and appointed as prime minister in the near future.
But Su Zifeng didn't envy Xun Kuang, after all.
When we were classmates, I was often overwhelmed by his knowledge. I was convinced by him at that time! How could I be envious?
"Wait a moment, I'll go find someone to ask." Su Zifeng looked at Xun Kuang and was no longer polite.
Xun Kuang nodded.
But I haven't spoken yet.
Su Zhaoxin jumped out and said, "My eldest sister is still sleeping. My second sister said she was not feeling well and would not see any guests today. I went there but didn't see her."
Bang!
This little thing suddenly jumped out.
He was kicked directly by Su Wan'er!
Su Zhaoxin rubbed his butt in grievance: "What's wrong with me?"
Su Wan'er glared at Su Zhaoxin, then bowed to Su Zifeng and Xun Kuang and said, "Mr. Xun, Third Uncle, my brother was wrong, I apologize on his behalf."
Su Zifeng looked at Su Wan'er curiously. When he noticed Su Wan'er's red and slightly swollen hands, he thought that the old man didn't even look at who he was beating.
If the old man saw this, he would be heartbroken!
If you want to beat someone to death, then beat Su Zhaoxin who lives next door!
Su Wan'er saw Su Zhaoxin just standing there without moving and glared at him fiercely.
Su Zhaoxin immediately bowed to Xun Kuang and Su Zifeng and said, "I was rude just now. Please forgive me, Mr. Xun and Third Uncle."
After that, Su Zhaoxin added: "But my eldest sister is really sleeping. She is so lazy. My second sister is not feeling well either. She didn't even see me when I went there."
Su Wan'er glared at Su Zhaoxin angrily again.
Su Zhaoxin curled his lips and said, "It's true, why are you glaring at me again?"
"In this case, it seems that we won't be able to meet again." Xun Kuang shook his head with some regret, but looking at Su Wan'er, Xun Kuang turned back to look at Su Zifeng and said, "The Su family is going to have another talented woman."
Su Zifeng waved his hands immediately: "Didn't you see the red hand? The teacher beat her this morning. She couldn't even write a poem. What kind of girl is that? She's just a child after all."
As he spoke, Su Zifeng motioned Su Wan'er to get up and come to him.
Xun Kuang smiled awkwardly, "Look at the way you, Su Lao San, are smiling so proudly!"
But when he looked back at Su Zhaoxin, he found that the young master Su was looking at him eagerly, so Xun Kuang immediately said, "Young Master Su just wanted to recite some poems to me. Now that I have no chance to meet the two young ladies and I have nothing to do, I wonder if I can do it now?"
Su Zifeng originally looked at Su Wan'er's red palm with heartache.
Hearing what Xun Kuang said, he had no idea what the old guy was up to, and he immediately planned to get Su Zhaoxin out of here and stop him from embarrassing himself.
And what the hell is that invincible poem? When he heard about it before, he just felt that this brat deserved to be punished!
But before Su Zifeng could say anything
Su Zhaoxin's eyes lit up: "Oh, you still remember it! Good, you are worthy of being someone I like."
As he spoke, he gave Xun Kuang a thumbs up, then moved closer to Xun Kuang, with his hands on his hips: "Since you have begged me so sincerely again and again, I will recite it. Listen carefully! I will burst the water tank with one punch and overturn the green potted plants with one kick. If there is anything I don't like, I will just punch and kick it!"
After reciting, Su Zhaoxin took the lead and said, "Isn't it amazing? Learn a little. When you have mastered the essence, I will let you meet my third sister."
Su Zifeng rolled his eyes, looked around and saw that there was nothing he could do, so he decided to take action.
At the same time, Su Wan'er pulled Su Zifeng and pointed at the tea bowl on the table, indicating that he should use that to hit her.
Su Zifeng laughed out of anger.
Xun Kuang tried not to laugh out loud, and gave Su Zhaoxin a thumbs up: "This poem, sir, is much better than the poems written by those bookworms in the Imperial College!!"
Su Zhaoxin heard the news and subconsciously asked, "Really?"
Xun Kuang nodded seriously: "It's right to trust me."
Su Zhaoxin pursed his lips: "The one who lied to me is a pig."
Xun Kuang said immediately: "It's more real than the real thing."
Su Zhaoxin was overjoyed: "Okay! Just for this, my third sister will come back and introduce you to her. She's not bad except for her bad temper and ugly looks, but everything else is good! Forget about my second sister, and don't even dream about my eldest sister!"
Su Zifeng got angry again when he heard this. If my second brother, who has a very good temper, heard that his daughter was sold, he would definitely teach this guy a lesson!
Xun Kuang smiled and said immediately: "It seems that I still need to work hard to get the young master to let me meet the eldest and second young ladies."
Su Zhaoxin was so flattered that he said, "That's right!"
However, when he took a glance, he saw his sister glaring at him unhappily, so he immediately looked at Xun Kuang and said, "Master Xun, that's my sister! Don't look at her."
Xun Kuang interrupted him halfway through the conversation, saying, "Your teacher is Mr. Mao. I studied with him in the past, so we are still brothers. So you don't have to call me Master Xun."
Su Zhaoxin heard this and said immediately, "Why didn't you say so earlier? No wonder I like you more and more. It turns out that we are brothers. All right! Then I won't be polite to you as your junior brother. I will entertain you when you come to the Su Mansion in the future! But even if you try to get close to me, I can't let you meet my second sister. You can't even dream of meeting my eldest sister!"
Xun Kuang was so amused by this tiger kid that he felt that he was worthy of being the son of Mr. Su Si, the younger generation is pushing the older generation forward!
Su Zifeng on the other side was so angry that he shook his head helplessly, thinking that he would beat Xun Kuang up no matter what after he left.
As for Su Wan'er.
Thanks to Su Zifeng, otherwise Su Wan'er would have rushed over.
However, Su Zhaoxin ignored all this, looked at Xun Kuang and continued the previous topic, "Look at my sister, she didn't get beaten for not writing a poem, it's because my sister is too stiff! She just doesn't write poems! Why? Because my elder sister wrote a small article for her, and she couldn't write a poem after reading it, so she didn't write poems. If we want to argue about reading, my sister is much better than me!"
Su Wan'er rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to Su Zhaoxin who kept winking at her.
Su Zifeng looked at Xun Kuang with eyes that showed great understanding.
Xun Kuang heard the important information in Su Zhaoxin's words and asked immediately, "Miss Changan has a new work?"
Su Zhaoxin nodded immediately: "Of course not, it was amazing, it made my third uncle dumbfounded, my second sister was dumbfounded, and my grandfather seemed to be dumbfounded too."
Xun Kuang immediately asked, "Have you memorized it?"
Su Zhaoxin immediately cleared his throat and said, "Write. My elder sister's handwriting is too ugly. Let me think about it. Write."
Xun Kuang looked expectant, but Su Zhaoxin could only utter one word.
Su Wan'er looked at her brother like that, helplessly, and shook her head and recited: "When writing about beauties, you can't just write..."
Immediately
The short article written by Su Changan that day was completely memorized by Su Wan'er.
Xun Kuang stood there in a daze.
Savor this article carefully, especially those few lines of poetry that are the essence of it.
Surprised.
Delicious food! A mouth-watering fragrance!
Taste it again!
Endless aftertaste!
Savor it carefully!
Amazing!!
“Great goodness!!”
Xun Kuang stood up suddenly and looked at Su Zifeng: "Miss Chang'an's poems are so good, Zifeng!! She traveled to the human world for a feast, and once the human world was in great glory... The crowd was full of smiles, and the colors of the human world were like dust... There are also lotus flowers that are not as good as the beauty's makeup, and the wind in the water palace brings the fragrance of pearls and jade, which are all excellent words!"
"You have a heart full of pearls! You are worthy of being Miss Chang'an! Especially the last line, "The clouds resemble clothes and the flowers resemble face, the spring breeze blows through the threshold and the dew is gorgeous!" Xun Kuang has written thousands of poems about beauties, but none of them can compare to Miss Chang'an's line! I am ashamed of myself, ashamed of myself!! "
So say
Xun Kuang quickly looked at Su Wan'er and asked, "Does the poem have a second half or a first half?"
Su Wan'er shook her head: "My elder sister's family wrote this to me."
Xun Kuang looked lonely all of a sudden, as if a beautiful woman was in front of him and suddenly disappeared.
Su Zifeng looked at Xun Kuang like this and said softly: "If we hadn't met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace."
"This is the second half of the poem 'Clouds Think of Clothes' that my father asked my niece to write down yesterday. As for the rest, I was kicked out before I had the chance to read it."
Xun Kuang closed his eyes and lowered his head, moving his lips, but he was mumbling a whole poem together.
After a while, Xun Kuang slightly closed his eyes and nodded, as if he was completely intoxicated by the poem: "My eyes are intoxicated, as if I am right in front of you, how beautiful it is."
After saying that, Xun Kuang turned around and looked at Su Zifeng: "Over the years, I have been to the brothels countless times and written hundreds of poems about beauties, but when I heard this poem today, it was all shit."
The words fell.
But after bowing, he bowed deeply towards the door.
When Su Wan'er saw this, she endured the pain and reached out to pull her brother aside.
Just because Su Zhaoxin was standing in the direction Xun Kuang was bowing, he could not accept such a big bow, let alone touch it!
Su Zhaoxin was pulled aside, and he hadn't reacted yet. He just looked at Xun Kuang suddenly like this and felt that he was stupid again!
But I don’t quite understand it!
Why does my elder sister's poetry make people become like this?
Why can’t my invincible poetry make people do this?
When Su Zifeng saw Xun Kuang like this, he naturally understood what he meant. After all, this poem can be called a poem that will be passed down through the ages!
After the bow, Xun Kuang looked at Su Zifeng and said, "Please help me get the rest of these poems complete, or I will tell all your embarrassing stories to my junior brother."
When Su Zhaoxin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up!
Su Zifeng glared at Su Zhaoxin, then looked at Xun Kuang: "Do your best."
Xun Kuang smiled and patted Su Zifeng on the shoulder, then said: "The invitation has been delivered, please help me pass it on, and don't let anything go wrong. I have to go back to tear up the poem, so I won't stay any longer. Let's go to Xiuhu Manor outside the city another day, I'll treat you, you pay!"
After saying that, he bowed, turned around and left.
"Tear up the poem?" Su Zifeng asked doubtfully.
Xun Kuang didn't look back but just said, "It's a pile of shit. If you don't tear it up, it will make you sick and want to vomit!"
Su Zifeng looked at Xun Kuang's back and smiled bitterly, but his eyes were full of admiration, just like when he was young.
Su Wan'er looked at the figure from behind, not understanding, but inexplicably feeling longing.
Su Zhaoxin pursed his lips and whispered in Su Wan'er's ear: "Sister, if the elder sister's poem drives our senior brother crazy, do we have to pay for his medical treatment?"
Su Wan'er rolled her eyes at her brother and turned to look at Su Zifeng: "Third Uncle, Wan'er still has to go back to copy books, so I won't talk to you anymore."
Su Zifeng nodded and was about to speak, but he took back his original words and said, "Copy slowly, my hands hurt."
Su Wan'er nodded, turned and left, completely ignoring her brother.
"Even with her hands in that condition, she still wants to copy books. This little girl is too stubborn!!" Su Zhaoxin shook his head and sighed.
But when he saw the invitation in Su Zifeng's hand, he immediately smiled and said, "Third uncle, I'll go and see if the elder sister is awake."
Su Zifeng looked at Su Zhaoxin with a smile: "Wait until I finish beating you."
Su Zhaoxin was puzzled: "Ah?"
ah!!!!
Then, a scream rose from the Su family's hall and soared into the sky!
