Wenxuan Building.
Wang Ru had arrived an hour earlier, and with his arrival, many literati could not help but be curious.
Wang Ru had said that he would bring Xu Qingnian, and they wanted to meet him, so today’s Wenxuan Building was much busier than usual.
But what they didn’t expect was that Xu Qingnian didn’t come, so the crowd was a little curious.
Wang Ru was not even half embarra*sed, but instead he bragged that Xu Qingnian was a decent person and a model for our generation of scholars.
He portrayed Xu Qingnian as a saint, so that people would not misunderstand that he and Xu Qingnian did not get along.
But just as Wang Ru was bragging about it, a voice rang out from behind him.
A voice rang out from behind him.
It was Li Xin’s voice.
A burst of shrieks followed immediately afterwards.
“Xu Wangu!”
“Isn’t this Xu Qingnian, Mr. Xu?”
“Xu Da Cai is here?”
“Is this Mr. Xu? He’s really a talented and graceful man.”
“Is he Xu Qingnian who wrote a superb essay for the government exam? He is really as his name suggests, a great talent, a great talent!”
Exclaims of amazement erupted as Xu Qingnian’s arrival brought the entire Wenxuan Building to a boil.
Who in the whole of South Yufu did not want to get to know Xu Qingnian, Xu Wangu?
The crowd of literati exclaimed, each revealing a look of excitement.
They were not the only ones.
All the courtesans in the pavilion came to the window, their eyes also falling on Xu Qingnian.
The literati were after them, and they were even more after the truly talented literati.
“Is this Xu Qingnian? He’s really handsome.”
“Xu Qingnian is so handsome, I thought he was a nerd.”
“How could she be so handsome? How wonderful it would be if she had chosen me.”
“Dare I ask if it is Xu Wangu who has come? My slave has prepared wine and food, may I ask if Sir Xu would be so kind?”
“Sir Xu, my slave is a good flute player and I have recently learned a new tune. If you wish, my slave will play it for you all night.”
“Sir Xu ……”
All of a sudden, these originally somewhat arrogant heralds, upon learning of Xu Qingnian’s arrival, began to lose their patience.
Some of the Qing heralds with bold and spirited natures even invited each other directly, not caring whether Xu Qingnian could get the answer right or not.
As for some mild-mannered ones, they were a bit eager, wanting to speak but too embarra*sed to do so.
The restlessness of the heralds led to a boil in the hall.
No one would have thought that Xu Qingnian was so handsome.
Readers give the impression of being refined and overall clean and tidy, but this does not affect the face value, it only means that they look more comfortable.
A scholar with talent and face is the one who is really sought after by women.
It’s not impossible to have talent without face, but it has to be a great talent, the kind that can move a city with one lyric, or has great fame.
Otherwise these women would not be foolish enough to take the bait.
Is there a shortage of scholars these days?
No, there isn’t.
What does Xu Qingnian look like to them?
Does he have talent? Yes, and a great talent at that.
Is he famous? Yes, it is famous in Wei.
Does he have the face? Yes, not the most handsome in the world, but definitely the best.
In that case, Xu Qingnian is a treasure boy.
To be favoured by Xu Qingnian, isn’t this a blessing from the ancestral grave?
So the Qingnian, who was originally very reserved, had completely figured it out.
The Spring Breeze Building was abuzz with excitement.
Wang Ru was the only one who was a little embarra*sed.
Before, he was bragging about Xu Qingnian’s noble character, but what he didn’t expect was that Xu Qingnian was here again?
How could this be fun?
“Gentlemen, it’s Brother Xu’s first time to come to Xuan Lou, don’t scare Brother Xu.”
Seeing how excited and excited the crowd was, Li Xin hurriedly opened his mouth, if this didn’t happen, he was afraid that this group of people would rush up.
As expected, Li Xin’s words had some effect, after all, the son of the ruler of the South Yu Province, more or less, he had to give some face.
As the crowd quieted down, Xu Qingnian followed suit and spoke.
“Gentlemen, it is Xu’s first time to come to Xuan Lou, and it is also at the invitation of Brother Li, so there is no need for everyone to be so polite, otherwise Xu would be a little ashamed.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and told everyone to calm down.
Once this was said, the crowd quietened down even more, but many of them were a little puzzled, after all, everyone is giving you face.
But soon, someone suddenly spoke up and tapped his head and said.
“I get it, it’s Mr Xu’s first time to come to Xuan Lou, he simply can’t let go, how dare Mr Xu play when we are so enthusiastic.”
Someone spoke up and explained for Xu Qingnian, only this would be wrong ah.
“Oh! I see, yes, yes, yes, yes, it’s us who are being naive.”
“Haha, so Mr Xu is also a man of nature, it was me who waited for Meng Long, Meng Long ah.”
“Yes, yes, yes, when I first came here, I didn’t even dare to speak, if someone was staring at me, I was afraid that I wouldn’t even dare to look at them.”
“I didn’t expect ah, Brother Xu is actually here for the first time, nervousness is going to happen, everyone is nervous for the first time, but Mr Xu Xu, don’t be too restrained.”
People instantly showed smiles of agreement, mistaking it for Xu Qingnian being embarra*sed.
But in reality, Xu Qingnian didn’t mean it at all.
What he meant was, “I’m a bit ashamed that everyone is praising me so much, we’re all readers, we’re all equal.
That’s what he meant.
Hey, what are you guys talking about?
I’m Xu Qingnian, I’m a decent person.
I read Spring and Autumn, ah.
Looking at the crowd with odd smiles, Xu Qingnian didn’t know how to explain.
It felt like no matter how to explain, these people would not listen.
“Alright, alright, why so much nonsense, Miss Fish, how can I have a long talk with these good sisters?”
After the crowd had quietened down, at that moment Mu Nan Lime’s voice rang out.
After Mu Nan Lime’s voice rang out, finally the crowd then noticed Mu Nan Lime.
Mu Nanqiu’s beauty had instantly attracted all the readers present, they were so captivated by Xu Qingnian that they had overlooked Mu Nanqiu.
Now that Mu Nanqiu had opened her mouth, it was not known how many people were dumbfounded at this moment.
This was too beautiful.
One could not help but marvel at Mu Nanliu’s appearance, and with just one glance, it was imprinted on their hearts and could not be forgotten.
Sensing the gazes of the crowd, Mu Nan Lime only frowned slightly, but did not say anything, instead looking towards Miss Fish.
“Back to Miss, if you want to have a long talk with these Qing heralds, you first have to answer questions, please see, Miss, there are eight elegant pavilions inside the Spring Breeze House, and outside each pavilion there are test questions, composing words and poems or pairing the next couplet.”
“As long as these purveyors like it, they can be seated.”
Miss Fish spoke up and explained to Mu Nanliu.
When this was said, Mu Nanliu immediately looked at Xu Qingnian.
“Brother, you help me compose a poem, quick.”
Mu Nanliu said so, pulling Mu Nanping to help her compose a poem.
“Composing a poem needs to be brewed, you pick a word first.”
Mu Nanping spoke, as a literary person, he naturally liked to compose poems and lyrics, especially in front of everyone, so that he could appear talented.
This was also the reason why everyone came to Xuan Lou.
After all, how painful is it for you to compose a poem on a regular basis and have no one to appreciate it?
If you take your poem and go to someone to appreciate it, they will only give you a perfunctory response.
But Wenxuan House is different. If your writing is not good, the girl will not see it.
If you write well, the girl will see it, and all kinds of praise will come, right?
Therefore, although Mu Nanping would not normally spoil his sister, but when he could pretend, it did not matter.
“Just this one, just this one, this good sister looks adorable.”
Mu Nan Lime pointed to the first elegant pavilion on the left, the woman in the pavilion, with a delicate figure, although covered by a white veil, still could not hide the charm.
But the elegant pavilion had a white sheet of paper, squared off, with the words [What can I do to relieve my love for each other] written on it.
“What can I do to relieve my love for each other?”
The crowd turned their eyes to it, and Mu Nanping even began to ponder.
It was elegant to use lovesickness as the title.
“Brother, are you ready yet?”
Mu Nan Lime asked.
“Wait a moment, right away.”
Mu Nanping was a little embarra*sed, how long has it been, and you’re asking me to make a poem?
It’s not like I’m a great talent.
Mu Nanping pondered, and the crowd began to talk.
“This is a really difficult topic for Miss Mingxin, it has been hanging up for months and still no one has answered the call, and I wonder if this gentleman can get into the tent?”
“Anyone who can be with Mr Xu must also be a great talent, this man looks dignified, I think he should be able to.”
“Even if he can’t make it, Xu Da Cai can make it.”
The crowd was talking.
At that moment, Xu Qingnian was also talking to Wang Ru.
He told Wang Ru why he was here, so that Wang Ru would not misunderstand. The latter said that it did not matter, but his eyes showed joy.
To be honest, Wang Ru did feel a bit tasty, after all, he had invited Xu Qingnian, but Xu Qingnian did not come.
Li Xin invited him, but Xu Qingnian came.
After explaining, Xu Qingnian did not say much, but looked at the test question.
How can I solve my love for each other?
This question was a bit level.
However, Xu Qingnian did not say anything, but waited for Mu Nanping to compose the poem.
A quarter of an hour later.
Mu Nanping’s tightly frowning brow became even tighter.
Because he couldn’t think of one.
If the title was Acacia.
That was fine, he could compose a poem.
But [What can I do to solve my love for each other], it was a bit complicated.
Plus, with everyone looking at him, inexplicably Mu Nanping was under more pressure.
It was hard.
“Brother, you won’t be unable to compose it, right?”
Mu Nan Lime’s voice rang out.
There was doubt in her beautiful eyes.
“It takes time.”
Mu Nanping said in a calm tone, but inwardly, he was a little depressed.
Time was tight, it was normal to not be able to make it, everyone was waiting patiently, what are you rushing for?
Another quarter of an hour pa*sed.
Mu Nanping was getting a little anxious and in the end Mu Nanping could only force out a smile and said.
“Brother Xu is here, so I am indeed under some pressure, so why don’t we let Brother Xu compose a poem?”
Mu Nanping opened his mouth and dumped the pot on Xu Qingnian.
Ha?
Let me do it?
Aren’t you imposing on someone?
Without waiting for Xu Qingnian to refuse, Mu Nanping immediately spoke.
“Brother Xu, my sister is very annoyed, why don’t you let her go up to rest and rest, so we can still have a quiet chat.”
Mu Nanping said with a suppressed voice.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingnian was silent.
It was also true that this Mu Nan Lime was a bit annoying, so it would be better to let her be quiet for a while, so that she could also talk to Mu Nan Ping.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian nodded and said.
“Then, I will offer my humility.”
The voice fell.
The entire Spring Wind Tower became even quieter.
All eyes fell on Xu Qingnian.
