C16 Lotus Gentleman

Sima Hui sat beside Master Pang De. He said in a low voice, "Duke De, that kid is in a bad situation. Father doesn't like it and brother doesn't like it. It really makes things difficult for him. "

Master Pang De said, "F * ck, differentiate the venue and don't speak randomly."

Sima Hui nodded and did not say anything else.

Master Pang De looked at Liu Xiu and then at Liu Biao, who had a hint of disdain in his eyes. He suddenly understood that Liu Xiu had refused to be a matchmaker that day. Given Liu Xiu's situation, he was afraid that he would not be able to make the decision about the marriage.

"What kind of lotus poem will this kid do?"

Master Pang De's heart was filled with worry and expectation.

Liu Xiu sat at the end of the table. He was close to the window. He looked at the lotus flowers outside the window and thought carefully. In front of the scholars of Jing Prefecture, the poem that Liu Xiu chose had to fit the scene.

Compared to the last time he came to the Lotus Fragrance Restaurant, the lotus flowers in the lake had already bloomed.

Red, white, they reflected each other's splendor.

The lotus leaves were spread over the dark green lake water, the scenery was pleasant.

After not seeing Liu Xiu open his mouth for a long time, Liu Cong suddenly interrupted. "Third Brother, Brother Che of the Kuai family and Brother Zhen of the Cai family have both appeared, and they are both quick-witted and easily able to compose poems. You have been staring out the window for a long time, yet you still do not open your mouth. If you do not think of it, admitting misfortune is not shameful."

"It seems like you're trying to help us out. It seemed like he was trying to save Liu Xiu, but in fact, he was trying to make fun of Liu Xiu.

Cai Mao took a sip of wine and said, "Young Master Xiu doesn't study much and can't do much. I guess the dukes here won't blame him. Young Master Xiu, don't worry. "

When he spoke, everyone could hear the meaning behind his words.

On the surface, he seemed to be comforting Young Master Xiu, but in reality, he was targeting Young Master Xiu.

If Liu Xiu really could not compose a poem, no one would make things difficult for Liu Xiu, but who would still look up to him? In the eyes of the warriors of Jing Prefecture, Liu Xiu was just a vulgar person who didn't understand poetry. He wasn't worthy of respect.

Liu Xiu sneered in his heart. Liu Cong and Cai Mao were wearing the same pants. He had already understood the meaning behind their words.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Biao from the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Liu Biao's expression was slightly gloomy, as if he was unhappy, as if he was angry, as if he felt that Liu Xiu had embarrassed him.

When Liu Xiu saw this, he no longer held any hope in his heart. He stood up and said in a clear voice, "Gentlemen, this kid has thought of a poem. Please appraise it. The title is' Red White Lotus'."

Master Pang De smiled. "I am all ears."

Sima Hui said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Liu Xiu bowed slightly to the two of them and said in a clear voice,

Red and white lotus flowers bloomed together, the two colors just like fragrance.

Just like the three thousand women of Han Palace, half of them are heavy makeup and half light makeup.

After reciting "Red and White Lotus," Liu Xiu said neither servile nor servile, "This kid is the one who is lacking in wisdom. Please comment on it, seniors."

Sima Hui read it, and his eyes were full of vigor. He praised, "Young Master Xiu's Red White Lotus is a popular song. It is simple but not lacking in elegance. It is elegant but not lacking in subtlety. It can be said to be a wonderful piece."

With this conclusion, the others chimed in one after another.

Liu Cong's face was as calm as water, and his eyes revealed a trace of jealousy. Just now, he had finished his poem and received the praise of many scholars in Jing Prefecture. However, he could also tell that they were all hypocritical and did not have the intention of praising him.

He did not think that Liu Xiu's' Red White Lotus' was very good. Instead, it was praised by everyone.

He felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Cai Mao had been informed by Cai beforehand. He knew that Liu Xiu did not study much. He thought that Liu Xiu would lose all his face if he made things difficult for Liu Xiu. He did not expect Liu Xiu to be so outstanding. The concept of a Lotus Flower Poem far surpassed others, and even Cai Mao praised it in his heart.

Although he praised Liu Xiu, it was impossible for both sides to change their standpoint.

Cai Mao still did not have the demeanor that he should have. He said, "Young Master Xiu's poem overshadowed everyone. In the poetry segment, Young Master Xiu was the undisputed number one. Next, he wrote an article about lotus with the title Lotus. Since Young Master Xiu had won the first round of poetry, let's start with Young Master Xiu this time. What does Young Master Xiu think? "

Liu Xiu seemed to be asking, but he knew that it could not be changed. In front of Liu Biao, Master Pang De, Yi Ji, Zhuge Liang and the others. If Liu Xiu refused, it would be admitting that he was not capable enough.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Degui. I will show my face again."

Master Pang De said, "Young Master Xiu, I am looking forward to it even more."

"I do not deserve your praise, sir."

Master Pang De's support in front of everyone made Liu Xiu feel a little warm in his heart. He had only met Master Pang De once. They had only had a good chat at the Lotus Fragrance Restaurant that day, and they had never met again. However, Master Pang De's selfless support made Liu Xiu feel moved in his heart.

Liu Xiu had a tall figure and an imposing appearance. Today, he wore gorgeous clothes and possessed extraordinary bearing. His gaze swept across the people in the hall. He was neither servile nor overbearing. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Everyone, this brat's article is titled 'Love Lotus Speak'."

Everyone looked at Liu Xiu and waited quietly.

Liu Xiu's heart calmed down. He appeared even more calm and composed. He said in a clear voice, "Everyone, this kid's article is titled 'Love Lotus Speak'.

"The flowers of water, land, and vegetation are very precious."

"Chu Qu Yuan only loves chrysanthemums. Ever since the Qin Han, the world has loved peonies. " Chu Quyuan only loves chrysanthemums. "Chu Quyuan loved chrysanthemums. It can be seen from afar, but it cannot be played with indecently." "Chu Qu Yuan only loves chrysanthemums, and since the Qin Han, the people of the world have loved peonies."

"It's called a chrysanthemum, and the flower is hidden. Peony, the flower is rich and noble. The lotus, the flower's gentleman! The love of the chrysanthemums was rarely heard. The love of the lotus, who was the one who gave it to him? The love of the peony is better than the love of the masses. "

Zhou Dunyi's Love Lotus Speak was one of the most famous articles written by the lotus flower.

This article can be said to be an ancient essay.

After Liu Xiu finished reading, he faced the crowd and cupped his hands, saying, "Kid, you have made a fool of yourself. Please appraise it."

"The lotus is good, the writing is good, and the person is even better."

Xu Shu's eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

Pang Tong muttered, "Once this piece is written, today's Wing Lian article will no longer be interesting."

Zhuge Liang's handsome face was also full of interest. He also had some understanding of the situation in State Governor's Mansion. Liu Biao's third son, the eldest son, Liu Qi, was not highly regarded. No one cared about him. His second son was loved by Liu Biao. He was very popular. The third son, Liu Xiu, was a bastard, and he had never heard of him.

He did not expect Liu Xiu to be so well-educated.

Meng Gongwei, Shi Tao, and the others also had curious looks in their eyes. They admired Liu Xiu's literary talent.

In such a short time, he had made such an interesting piece of paper. It was admirable.

Everyone in the hall praised him one after another, and they admired him even more.

The Wen Group was purely a gathering of friends through literature. Liu Xiu's literary talent had won everyone's praise.

Master Pang De stroked his beard and said, "Borrowing things to express one's will, one should be like a lotus. One should not be tainted by mud. One should be straightforward in both the middle and the outside. Young Master Xiu can be called a 'lotus gentleman'."

Sima Hui agreed. "Yes, yes. The title of a lotus gentleman is worthy of its name."

After everyone heard that, they clapped their hands and laughed. They all called the Lotus Gentleman.

For a moment, Liu Xiu's title of Lotus Gentleman was recognized by everyone.

Master Pang De looked at Liu Biao and said, "Liu Jingzhou has a son like this. Congratulations. A tiger's father does not have a dog's son."

Liu Biao said humbly, "Master Pang praised him."

Although he was humble, everyone could see that Liu Biao was very happy. Among the young generation of Jing Prefecture, Wolong Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu Pang Tong were not Liu Biao's people. They were not willing to be used by Liu Biao. This was the knot in Liu Biao's heart. Now, in front of all the scholars of Jing Prefecture, Liu Xiu had suppressed everyone with his literary talent. Liu Biao's pride could be imagined, and his mood was even more comfortable.

Cai Mao saw Liu Biao's expression and sighed in his heart.

His original intention was to embarrass Liu Xiu, but he did not expect that he would make a fool of himself and become Liu Xiu instead.

The fury in Liu Cong's eyes intensified.

He was the one who suggested to Cai to meet friends with literature. He thought that Liu Xiu did not understand poetry and wanted to use this to make trouble for himself. He did not expect that the person who showed his face this time would instead become Liu Xiu. Instead, he would become Liu Xiu's stepping stone.

Master Pang De suddenly said, "I also have a lotus poem, but it was not written by me. Today is a rare occasion to meet, this old man also says it out. I hope everyone can comment on it."

Liu Biao was in a good mood. He said, "What Master Pang remembers in his heart must be extraordinary."

Everyone agreed with him. Expressions of anticipation could be seen on their faces.

Master Pang De had a high prestige among the warriors of Jing Prefecture. On one hand, he was a recluse. He was not affected by fame and fortune. On the other hand, Master Pang De was well-versed in the ancient scriptures and was well-versed in the arts. He was also well-versed in the art of hiding his strength. Furthermore, Master Pang De came from the Pang family of Jing Prefecture and had a great reputation.

The moment he opened his mouth, even Liu Xiu's limelight was suppressed.

Master Pang De swept a glance at Liu Xiu and said, "The poem's title is' Appreciation of Lotus Lake '!"

Liu Xiu had a strange expression. Guan Lian Lake's Sense. Wasn't this what he saw Master Pang De and the others write? Could it be that Master Pang De wanted to bring out his poem again? What was his purpose?
