Chapter 60 Poetry Club(1/2)
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, a will, or a heart-to-heart relationship.
When Li Bai ran for half an hour and was about to sneak home quietly from the back door, a figure he was very familiar with was standing at the door of the backyard.
The figure was leaning bored against the wall of his backyard and picking his nose. After picking it up, he wiped it with his hands on the wall.
Who else would this look besides him, Brother Ah Hu?
Just as Li Bai was looking at him, he was about to take a detour and go home from the front door, but he didn't expect that Ah Hu had discovered it.
"Twelve, you're back!"
As Ah Hu shouted, he ran towards Li Bai, while running, lowering his body and spreading his arms, preparing to use his hand that had just picked his nose to hug Li Bai.
Li Bai's scalp was numb when he saw it. The moment Ah Hu was about to hug him, he used Shangdiyunzong's body technique and lightly dodged to the side, and he easily avoided it.
"Bang!"
Ah Hu, who couldn't hold Li Bai, had an unstable center of gravity. The 170 to 80 kilograms of body fell straight to the ground and fell to eat shit.
"Twelve, you have changed..."
Ah Hu, who was so sad that he fell, got up with a grin, and then looked at Li Bai with a resentful look on his face.
"Haha, you have changed too."
Li Bai sneered.
“Where did I change?”
Ah Hu looked aggrieved.
“It’s getting heavier.”
Li Bai pointed to his stomach.
"What's the point of change?"
Ah Hu retorted very dissatisfiedly.
"Do you have something to ask me for? I'm going to go back to study."
Li Bai didn't talk nonsense to him either.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
When he heard Li Bai say he was going back to study, Ah Hu turned over and got up from the ground.
He knew that Li Bai was "obsessed with studying" recently, and even his father Li Ke did not dare to disturb him. Now, he would never come out in less than three or four hours, so he ran away in vain.
"What's up?"
Li Bai turned his head and looked at Ah Hu.
In fact, he happened to have something to look for Ah Hu. He just said that just now, but he didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
"These two days, Miss Yanluo, who is in Yanlou, and Miss Yeqing, who is in Qunfang Pavilion, will hold a banquet and a poetry party on Zhuque Street."
Ah Hu said quickly.
"What does this have to do with us?"
Li Bai was puzzled.
"This is not an ordinary poetry gathering!"
Ah Hu mysteriously approached Li Bai and squatted down and whispered:
"Qiyanlou and Qunfang Pavilion have always been mortal enemies. Han Yanluo and Liu Yeqing are both top players. Their two are planning to take advantage of this poetry meeting to decide on the top."
"If you want to decide the right and wrong, will you solve it after a fight?"
Li Bai was very disdainful of these literati's twists and turns.
When Ah Hu heard this, he looked at Li Bai with a look of "How come you are so savage", and then said earnestly:
"Twelve, fighting and killing are things done by uncivilized barbarians. In my country of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, we must naturally convince people with reason; competing people with virtue; and competing people with talent."
"Who taught you this?"
Li Bai was stunned at first, and then asked Ah Hu with a blank look.
"Of course it's me..."
"I'm back to my room to study."
"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui taught me."
Ah Hu grabbed Li Bai and said a little embarrassedly.
"So, what method are they going to use to compete with each other?"
Li Bai asked impatiently.
"Of course I'm reciting the poem right."
Ah Hu said in a deep look as a literati.
"At that time, the literati and Yake at the poetry meeting will be divided into two directions, writing poems for Miss Yanluo and Miss Ye Qing."
He continued.
"How can you decide the outcome based on poetry alone?"
Li Bai was puzzled.
"Of course, you can't tell the winner on the surface, but everyone must know which side left more poems in this poetry meeting. If you can leave a masterpiece, it's even more important."
Ah Hu replied.
"This is what Sister Xiao Cui taught you?"
"Hehe... nothing can fill you with you."
Li Bai asked again with a joke, and Ah Hu smiled immediately.
"What will this poem have to do with us?"
Although Li Bai had guessed something in his heart, he still asked.
"Didn't you write a song "Xia Ke Xing" before? Now Qiyanlou and Qunfang Pavilion have come to us and ask us for poetry."
Fan Hao said with an excited look on his face, obviously he had never been valued so much before.
"Did you reveal my identity?"
Li Bai suddenly looked at Fan Hao with a serious look on his face.
"No, no, no, I even told them that even if I agree, I will only bring poetry here. You will not show up, and they all agree."
Ah Hu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about revealing your identity. Qiyanlou and Qunfang Pavilion did not come to us specifically. They would invite anyone who could write a poem or two."
He continued to explain.
Li Bai also understood this. On the surface, this poetry meeting was a battle between Han Yanluo and Liu Yeqing, but behind it was essentially a competition between Qi Yanlou and Qunfang Pavilion.
And looking at the posture of publishing heroic posts from both sides, this poetry meeting is actually a bigger show, and there are more literati and scholars standing here, and more poems received, and whoever beats the other party in the scene.
After all, it is not easy to have famous works.
"Do you have any money to get?"
Li Bai asked the most critical question with a very serious expression.
Ahu smiled and stretched out a finger to Li Bai.
"One tael of silver?"
Li Bai frowned.
Ah Hu shook his head, then couldn't help but hugging Li Bai excitedly and smirked:
"It's one hundred taels!"
"Both families paid one hundred taels?"
Li Bai was also a little surprised. This was easier than selling Lao Ganma.
"Actually, Qunfang Pavilion is still higher."
When Ah Hu heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly. It was obvious that Xiao Cui was in Qiyanlou, and he was also selfish in this matter.
"How many?"
Li Bai is different. He only recognizes money but not people.
"Two hundred taels."
Ah Hu hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"Then I'll choose Qunfang Pavilion."
Li Bai chose Qunfang Pavilion without any hesitation.
