Chapter 338: Talented Scholars (Part 3)

For famous prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty, mastering piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is the most basic professional quality, not to mention being beautiful and attractive, but there are only two most important skills: rectification and poetry.

The second one has nothing to do with it, but Xi Jiu is different.

There is a rule for everything, after the banquet, you can't just drink, you have to intersperse some activities to liven up the atmosphere, this kind of matter is in charge of Xi Jiu, she asks a question, everyone answers according to the rules in turn.

Since it is a question, not to mention whether there is right or wrong, there must be a difference between superior and inferior, who will judge?

Seat correction.

After the winner is determined, there must always be rewards and punishments. Who will send someone to enforce it?

Seat correction.

Therefore, a courtesan in the Tang Dynasty was not a flower vase, she must have a very high level of cultural accomplishment, especially now, this girl knew the identities of everyone present, but she still wanted to play the drinking order, obviously she had confidence in herself.

At this moment, a pair of charming eyes fell on Lu Li.

Qian Rui really couldn't understand Lu Li's ways.

It stands to reason that He Zhizhang has the highest official position, and there should be no controversy in the first place, but when the old gentleman came in, he said he wanted guests, that is, Lu Li took the main seat.

What kind of guests can make the third-rank secretary of this court so polite, let Li Taibai and Wang Mojie sit at the bottom with a smile, and have no opinion at all.

The heirs of the Duke's Mansion and the nobles of the royal family do not have such awe and prestige!

"Can."

How can a man say that he can't do it? Although Lu Lili has no idea, he still smiles, showing a confident look.

At this point, I can no longer regret it. If I am not as good as others, then I will accept the punishment honestly.

"You are not talented, let's make a start first, and it is right to throw a brick to attract jade." Miss Qianrui drank a glass of Hedong dry wine first, and after thinking for a while, she said: "The moon shines in the building."

In the Shangyuan season, people not only watch the lanterns, but also admire the moon. This sentence is appropriate, but in the eyes of Li Bai and others, it seems mediocre.

According to the pre-determined order, the international friend Chao Heng took the lead. He was too lazy to think, so he responded with a short sentence chanting the moon.

Li Bai and Wang Wei also felt very relaxed. The propositional couplets are just chanting things, which is not difficult, and it is easier than making a doggerel.

"Xiao Langjun, it's your turn."

The sound reaches the ears.

From the announcement to the present, it took only three or four breaths. Fortunately, the first question was not too difficult. After searching his guts, Lu Li answered, "Chang'an is a month."

It's not even well-behaved, it can be said that she has fallen into the low class, but the smile on Qianrui's face is not diminished, she raises the flag and makes a little comment.

As for He Jian, when he was in the literary world, everyone hadn't been born yet, so he passed the test easily.

There was no need to say hello at all, Lu Li punished him with three cups first, and behaved quite chicly.

"Slave to accompany you for a cup."

Miss Qianrui was really considerate, she asked the maid to bring two glass glasses, after filling them with wine, she walked up to Lu Li with small steps, and had a drink with him.

That's right, this was punishment, and it didn't embarrass Lu Li too much.

Maybe it was because of his limited level, or maybe it was because he wanted to take care of him. Lu Li felt that it was the latter. Miss Qianrui didn't have any problems afterwards.

Either chant objects or chant emotions, and they don't pay much attention to rhymes, as long as they don't repeat the images used by others, it's fine. Unfortunately, even so, Lu Li loses more than wins.

In fact, if Lu Li could win, there was a high probability that Chao Heng couldn't stand it anymore and deliberately lost a few times.

"Poetry should come out as you like, stretch your mind, and don't have to be so restrained."

Li Bai felt that this kind of drinking order was meaningless and could not be used at all. He guessed that it was because of this that Lu Li did not perform well.

Chao Heng nodded. The purpose of organizing this banquet was to celebrate the festive season and to see off Mr. He. Now that Lu Li joined, it also meant to connect with each other. It is not the way to go on like this. It is good to play freely.

At the moment, everyone is taking care of Lu Li, including Miss Qianrui. She ordered the maid to bring a set of "Analects of Confucius Jade Candle" silver wine set——

A tortoise made of gold and silver carried a thick cylinder on its back filled with silver sticks.

"I think it's not convenient to drink wine, but it's more interesting to play with words. Would you like to give in to Nunu?"

Everyone readily agreed.

Only Lu Li felt a little embarrassed, his performance tonight was a little disappointing, but after thinking about it, who can know everything?

In fact, human abilities are limited after all.

As for copying poems and making them famous all over the world, Lu Li thought to himself that he didn't have such a thick skin, and there was no need for it. It was just a party, so what's the point of making it so utilitarian.

In this way, the sound of singing and dancing came out again in the No. 6 room of Jiazi. The dancers and prostitutes in colorful clothes played the beautiful song "Wu Mei Niang" in the early Tang Dynasty, sometimes stretching their arms and dancing their sleeves, and sometimes flying into the air, which reminds people of the Dunhuang murals. Flying dancer.

Leaving aside the inherited memories, this was the first time Lu Li had seen such a scene, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart: How beautiful.

"Xiao Langjun, come and draw the first lottery."

Miss Qianrui walked over with a smile, followed by two maidservants, who placed the silver and wine chips in front of Lu Li.

This is simple, follow the command words in order.

Before drawing the chips, Lu Li drank a glass of order wine, and then casually pulled out a gold-plated silver lottery:

"Choose the good one and follow it - forty points for a big weapon!"

After the words fell, everyone looked at Li Bai in unison.

The first half of the sentence is extracted from the original sentence of "The Analects of Confucius", and the second half is the rules of the game compiled according to the meaning of the text. "Da Qi" refers to the person who can drink the most. It is very unfair to punish him for drinking four glasses of wine in a row. A full cup, five cents is half a cup, and so on.

If you say that the ancients still know how to play, persuading a drink is so elegant, unlike the later generations: what kind of feeling is deep and boring, and feeling is light and licking...

Intuit vulgar.

"Come on, fill me up."

Li Bai was not afraid at all, the world called him the Immortal of Wine, four cups of dry wine and wine, nothing more.

tons tons...

Under the service of the maidservants, Li Bai drank four cups in a row, but still felt unsatisfied. He laughed loudly and said, "It's my turn to smoke. I really want to punish myself for three cups."

After finishing the words, I reached out and took out a long sign from the barrel:

"If you don't learn enough, you're still afraid of losing it—drink seven points yourself! Haha, come and pour wine!"

After drinking most of the glass of wine, Li Bai still came to smoke. However, this time he was not so lucky: "Be sensitive to things and cautious in words—let go."

Seeing this, the girls came to Wang Wei with chips and waited for him to draw lots.

"Young people are awesome - five points for youth!"

There is no need to report their age, the youngest person at the table today is undoubtedly Lu Li, and the other four are either middle-aged uncles or octogenarians.

Miss Qianrui had been sitting beside Lu Li. She poured half of the glass herself. She was afraid that Lu Li would spoil the wine, so she said with a smile, "It's the first time Mr. Lang came to play with slaves, so you can't refuse."

Hearing that, Lu Li didn't talk nonsense, so he just went where and drank the wine straight away.

Frankly speaking, wine chips are refreshing to play, and you don't need to chant poems in a polite way.

The mentality of fluttering on the street is not good, it may be the same as running, and it will be fine after passing the limit. I want to adjust for a period of time, save the manuscript, and write slowly. I sincerely thank you for your comfort. Jie has no reason to give up, so he will insist on finishing it.
