Chapter 16

Sima Hui sat next to Mr. pound and said in a low voice, "Mr. pound, that boy's situation is not good. Father doesn't like it and brother doesn't love it. It's really hard for him. "

Pound Fair: "moral, distinguish the occasion, don't talk."

Sima Hui nodded and said nothing.

Pang Degong looks at Liu Xiu and looks at Liu Biao with a trace of disgust in his doubt. He suddenly understands Liu Xiu's refusal to speak to the media that day. In Liu Xiu's case, I'm afraid that I can't make my own decisions about getting married.

"What kind of lotus poem can this boy make?"

Pound was worried, but full of expectation.

Liu Xiu sat at the end of the window. He was close to the window and looked at the lotus flowers outside. Liu Xiu thought carefully. In the presence of Jingzhou scholars, Liu Xiu's poems must fit the scene.

Compared with the last time I came to Lianxiang building, the lotus flowers in Lianhu lake have been blooming.

The red and the white meet each other.

Lotus leaves, spread on the green lake, the scenery is pleasant.

After a long time without seeing Liu Xiu speak, Liu Cong suddenly interjected: "third brother, brother Kuai Jiache and brother Cai Jiazhen are all quick witted and easy to compose poems. You've been looking out of the window for a long time, but you still don't speak. If you can't think of it, it's no shame to admit it. "

It seems to be a breakthrough, but in fact there is a hidden opportunity, with the intention of satirizing Liu Xiu.

Cai Mao took a sip of his drink and said, "Mr. Xiu doesn't read much, so he can't do it. I don't think all of you here will blame him. Don't worry, Mr. Xiu. "

When he opened his mouth, everyone in the audience heard the voice out of his words.

On the surface, it's relief, but in fact, it's aimed at.

If Liu Xiu really can't write poetry, no one here will embarrass him, but who will look up at him? In the eyes of Jingzhou scholars, Liu Xiu is a vulgar person who does not understand poetry and books, and is not worthy of respect.

Liu Xiu sneers in his heart. Liu Cong and Cai Mao wear the same pair of trousers. He has already recognized the meaning of the pair.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu squinted at Liu Biao.

At this time, Liu Biao's face was a little gloomy. He seemed unhappy and angry, as if he felt that Liu Xiu had lost his face.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu had no hope in his heart. He stood up and said in a loud voice, "gentlemen, I think of a poem. Please appreciate it. "Red and white lotus"

Mr. pound said with a smile: "I'm all ears

Sima Hui said, "come on, come on!"

Liu Xiu bowed slightly to them, and then said in a loud voice:

the red and white lotus blooms in the pond, and the two colors are fragrant.

It's just like three thousand women in Han Palace, half with heavy makeup and half with light makeup.

After reciting a piece of "red and white lotus", Liu Xiu said in an unassuming and unassuming way: "young man, you are not wise enough. Please comment on it."

After reading it, Sima Hui was even more elated and praised: "a song of red and white lotus written by young master Xiu enjoys both refined and popular tastes. It is simple but elegant, elegant but exquisite, and can be called a wonderful piece."

The rest echoed this conclusion.

Liu Cong's face was as deep as water, and there was a trace of jealousy in his eyes. He had just finished his poem and was praised by many scholars in Jingzhou, but he could also hear that they were all hypocritical, and there were no waves of praise.

Liu Xiu's song "red and white lotus" is not very good for him. On the contrary, it is praised by the public.

In my heart, I feel very uncomfortable.

Cai Mao had been informed by CAI in advance that Liu Xiu didn't read much. He thought Liu Xiu would lose face when he was made difficult. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu was so outstanding that the artistic conception of a lotus poem was far superior to others, and even Cai Mao appreciated it.

Appreciation belongs to appreciation, but the positions of both sides can not be changed.

Cai Mao's manner should not be changed. He said: "a poem written by Mr. Xiu is superior to others. In the process of reciting poems, Mr. Xiu is worthy of asking, but Liu Xiu knows that it can't be changed. In front of Liu Biao, Pang Degong, Yi Ji, Zhuge Liang and others, once Liu Xiu refuses, he will admit that he is incompetent.

Liu Xiumian with a smile, said: "thank you, Mr. de Li, the boy once again

Mr. pound said, "master Xiu, I'm looking forward to it."

"I don't deserve your praise, sir."

Pang Degong's public support made Liu Xiu feel warm. He and Pang Degong only met each other once, and only had a talk in Lianxiang building that day, there was no intersection. However, Liu Xiu was moved by Pang Degong's selfless support.

Liu Xiu is tall and dignified. Today, he is dressed magnificently and has extraordinary appearance. He glanced at all the people in the hall. After thinking for a moment, he said, "my son's article is entitled" on Ailian. "

Everyone looked at Liu Xiu and waited quietly.

Liu Xiu's mood calmed down and became more calm. He said in a loud voice:

"flowers of land and water plants are very lovely."

"Chu and Qu Yuan loved chrysanthemum alone. Since Qin and Han Dynasties, people have loved peony more. You can only see the lotus from a distance and not play with it. ""Yu means chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; peony, the rich of flowers; lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Gee! The love of chrysanthemum is seldom heard by Qu Hou. Who will share the love of lotus? The love of peony is suitable for all. "

Zhou Dunyi's love lotus is one of the most famous articles about lotus.

This article can be called an eternal prose.

Liu Xiu finished reading, facing the crowd, arched his hand and said: "boy, I'm sorry, please judge."

"The lotus is good, the article is good, the person is more wonderful."

In Xu Shu's eyes, he showed deep appreciation and admiration.

Pang Tong muttered: "as soon as this article is published, today's Yonglian article is no longer interesting."

On Zhuge Liang's handsome cheek, there was also a strong interest. He also knows about the situation of the prefecture. Liu Biao's third son, Liu Qi, the eldest son, is not valued, and no one cares about him; Liu Biao's second son is deeply loved and hot; Liu Xiu, the third son, is a commoner, and his native place is unknown.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu is brilliant.

Meng Gongwei, Shi Tao and others also showed curiosity in their eyes and admired Liu Xiu's literary talent.

In a short period of time, it is amazing to make such a wonderful article.

People in the hall praised and admired each other.

Liu Xiu's literary talent won people's praise.

Pang Degong stroked his beard and said, "if you want to express your will by borrowing things, you should be like a lotus. If you come out of the mud, you will not dye it. If you have a direct connection between the middle and the outside, you should be called a" Lotus gentleman. "

Sima Hui echoed: "yes, yes, the name of lotus gentleman is worthy of the name."

After hearing this, they all called the lotus gentleman.

For a moment, Liu Xiu's title of "Lotus gentleman" was recognized by the public.

Looking at Liu Biao, Pang Degong said, "Liu Jingzhou has a son like this. Congratulations. It's a tiger father without a dog."

Liu Biao said modestly: "Pang Gong praised it!"

Although he is modest, everyone can see that Liu Biao is very happy. The younger generation in Jingzhou, Wolong Zhuge Liang and fengxiao pangtong, are not Liu Biao's people, and they don't want to be used by Liu Biao. This is Liu Biao's heart knot. Now, in front of all the literati in Jingzhou, Liu Xiu's literary talent is superior to others. It's conceivable that Liu Biao's heart is proud, and his mood is very comfortable.

Cai Mao sighed when he saw Liu Biao's expression.

His original intention was to embarrass Liu Xiu, but he didn't expect to be self defeating. Instead, he made Liu Xiu successful.

In Liu Cong's eyes, he was even more angry.

He proposed to Cai that Liu Xiu could not understand poetry and wanted to take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, this time the man who showed his face became Liu Xiu, and he became Liu Xiu's stepping stone.

Pound suddenly said, "I have a lotus poem, but it's not written by Lao Jiu. It's hard to get together today. I'll tell you. Please comment on it. "

Liu Biao was in a good mood and said, "what can keep Pang Gong in mind must be extraordinary."

The crowd echoed, with a look of expectation on their faces.

On the one hand, Pang Degong is a hermit, independent of fame and wealth; on the other hand, Pang Degong has a broad knowledge of classics, brilliant literary talent, and has a great reputation; on the other hand, Pang Degong was born in the Pang family in Jingzhou.

As soon as he opened his mouth, even Liu Xiu's fame was suppressed.

Pang Degong glanced at Liu Xiu and said, "the title of the poem is a feeling of watching lotus lake!"

Liu Xiu's look is strange, and the feeling of watching Lotus Lake is just what he wrote when he saw Pang Degong and others? What is the purpose of Pound's moving out his poem again?
