Chapter XXI
Not long after Ning Mo and Li Qingxuan finished their conversation,
The banquet began.
The old wangfei, the old ladies, and the married madams of the various families all appeared one after another to take their seats. The young people who had arrived earlier, including Ning Mo, all bowed seriously!
After the dishes were served, the atmosphere became lively as they ate and drank.
The old ladies and madams were chatting.
The young men and women below were talking to each other.
Of course.
There were also people who did not fit in.
For example, Ning Mo.
At this moment, Ning Mo wasn't talking to anyone. He was drinking wine and eating non-stop. He was engrossed in his food and had no interest in the topics of the people around him!
She sat beside Ning Mo.
Li Qingxuan had also interacted with a few women and scholars!
However…
It was difficult for her to calm down and think about some good poems with a person beside her who was crazily eating. Therefore, at this moment, her beautiful willow-like eyebrows were slightly raised.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Ning Mo.
After looking at it for a while,
Then, he asked softly,
"Is Lord Marquis very hungry?"
Pa da---
He put down his chopsticks.
Ning Mo took a sip of wine and wiped the corner of his mouth."
"Not bad! When he came here in the morning, he hadn't eaten anything yet. He thought that this place would provide breakfast, but he didn't expect that after coming here, he would have to play first! I'm a general, so my appetite is a little too big. I'm sorry to make a fool of myself in front of Miss Li.”
He cupped his hands at Li Qingxuan.
Ning Mo started eating again.
He was right-
With his innate divine strength, Ning Mo's body attributes grew day by day, and even his appetite became bigger.
Of course.
Only a few people's appetite was not that exaggerated!
"Pfft-"
When she heard Ning Mo's words, she looked at him as he ate.
Li Qingxuan smiled."
"I thought that Lord Marquis had always been speaking in a sarcastic manner like just now!”
He shook his head.
Ning Mo had no intention of answering this question.
Li Qingxuan pondered for a moment.
She looked at Ning Mo and said,"
"Lord Marquis, what do you think of poetry?”
He shook his head.
Ning Mo said casually,"
"Use your eyes! Otherwise, what else can we do?"
He was stunned for a moment.
Li Qingxuan had a little understanding of Ning Mo's personality.
She didn't care about what he said.
However, his tone changed.
"Then let me change my question. I wonder if Lord Marquis knows how to compose poems? Do you want to discuss it?"
Pa da---
He took a sip of wine.
After sweeping the food on the table and filling it up to half its fill.
Ning Mo nodded."
"I know a little, but there's no need to discuss it! I am a general, after all. In the eyes of the scholars of the world, and in the eyes of many noble ladies, I am just a boorish person. Talking about poetry and such doesn't match my style!”
Hearing this.
Li Qingxuan looked at Ning Mo."
"Style…I feel that, in terms of appearance and impression, writing poems and lyrics is very suitable for Lord Marquis 'style!”
Although she had never used the word 'style' on herself before, Li Qingxuan was quick-witted and quickly understood what it meant to use style on people, so she continued Ning Mo's words.
He turned around.
Ning Mo glanced at Li Qingxuan."
"Are you complimenting me for being handsome?”
Her face was slightly flushed.
Li Qingxuan nodded generously."
"Lord Marquis is indeed a talented man. In terms of appearance and appearance, Lord Marquis's bearing is worthy of the title of handsome man!”
He waved his hand.
Ning Mo said casually,"
"It looks like a pink skeleton, but it's just a fleeting cloud! Only the inner part could be passed down through the ages!”
Li Qingxuan was taken aback.
"So Lord Marquis doesn't value external beauty!”
Ning Mo grinned."
"That's not the case…When it comes to getting a wife or concubines, I still look at my face!”
Hearing this.
Li Qingxuan chuckled again and started chatting with Ning Mo again.
She felt that Ning Mo was quite interesting.
Ning Mo also felt that Li Qingxuan was a good person. At least, she could quickly understand Ning Mo's straightforward words, so it was a good conversation.
The two of them chatted one-on-one.
Naturally, they attracted the attention of many young men and women who admired them. Gradually, more and more people turned to look at Ning Mo and Li Qingxuan.
In everyone's eyes,
Ning Mo and Li Qingxuan were probably going to be a couple.
At this moment,
Xu Liwan, who was sitting in the married women's section, and the teacher's mother, who was sitting at the same table as the old princess consort, all noticed the conversation between Ning Mo and Li Qingxuan.
Xu Liwan looked at her sisters.
"I wonder which Furen's daughter is talking to my uncle?”
Hearing Xu Liwan's question,
A lady who knew Li Qingxuan smiled and said,"
"That's the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Li Qingxuan! I'm still waiting for my wife!"
Hearing this.
Xu Liwan pursed her lips into a smile and began to ask about Xu Liwan. The more she asked, the more she smiled.
The old princess consort in another seat,
Noticing the way the teacher was looking at Li Qingxuan, he couldn't help but smile."
"That's the daughter of the official of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Wangzhi. She has a reputation for being virtuous and talented. She's a good child who takes care of her husband and teaches her children! If Younger Sister is interested, she might as well ask Marquis Wu An!”
Hearing this.
The teacher's mother nodded silently.
"Alright, thank you for your guidance, elder sister!"
……
This banquet…
Nothing major happened. The only thing that attracted a lot of attention was the story of Ning Mo and Li Qingxuan chatting happily.
As for poems, there were also some, but they were not good. They were just works for fun. If one wanted to have poems that were popular, they needed to be carefully polished.
Or perhaps it was because of a flash of inspiration.
It was obvious that no one had such a flash of inspiration at today's Late Autumn Poetry Meet.
In the evening.
After the late autumn poetry recital, Ning Mo had ten personal guards by his side, preparing to send off his teacher's mother and Xu Liwan to the High Duke's Public House.
Just as Ning Mo was helping the teacher's mother onto the carriage, a luxurious carriage stopped beside them. Li Qingxuan lifted the curtain of the window.
She looked at Ning Mo and asked,"
"Lord Marquis! From today's conversation, I also know that Lord Marquis is as knowledgeable as Wang Yang, but I can't get Lord Marquis to write a poem…Can you ask Lord Marquis to write a poem again?”
Hearing Li Qingxuan's words.
Ning Mo's mouth twitched."
"Miss Li, I…"
Just as Ning Mo was about to refuse,
The teacher's mother, who was supported by him, patted the back of his hand.
"Mo 'er, why don't you leave a poem behind?"
Xu Liwan also smiled and said,
"Uncle! Since the girl had repeatedly invited him, wouldn't it be too ungentlemanly if he repeatedly refused?”
After pondering for a moment.
Ning Mo looked at Li Qingxuan, who had a look of anticipation on her face."
"Alright! However, if I don't do well, Miss Li, please don't laugh at me. After all, Miss Li's talent has moved the West Chu, and I'm just learning in my free time!”
He smiled.
Li Qingxuan smiled and nodded. She didn't say anything, but looked at Ning Mo with anticipation in her eyes.
Ning Mo, who was pretending to be deep in thought but was actually choosing a poem, said,
After a long silence, he said,"
"After the rain, autumn comes late. The bright moon shines among the pine trees, and the clear spring flows up the stone. The bamboos were noisy and the maids returned to the palace. The lotus flowers moved and got off the fishing boat. As long as the spring fragrance is gone, the prince can naturally stay.”
This poem was written by Wang Wei and was about autumn. It was just right for today's late autumn poetry meet. Moreover, it was also a classic poem that could be sung through the ages. There was no problem for him to use it to show off.
At this moment,
After hearing Ning Mowen's poem, Li Qingxuan was stunned for a long time.
Then, she looked at Ning Mo with her beautiful eyes filled with resentment."
"Didn't Lord Marquis say that he didn't know how to recite poetry? This poem was enough to be passed down through the ages. Just the line 'After the rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late and autumn is coming' was enough to describe half of the autumn scenery. No one could compare to it.”
Hearing Li Qingxuan's words.
Ning Mo smiled and shook his head."
"I really don't know how to recite poems. This poem was just randomly composed! It's not presentable, hahaha…"
His face stiffened.
Li Qingxuan glared at Ning Mo."
"Lord Marquis, we'll meet again!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Li Qingxuan pulled down the curtain and left in the carriage.
After Li Qingxuan left, he said,
The teacher's mother smiled."
"She's a good girl. I just don't know what her personality and ability are like!”
Xu Liwan smiled.
"Don't worry granny, daughter-in-law has already asked the Furens of the various manors! This Miss Li was a good girl who understood the big picture and was virtuous and sensible!”
As they spoke.
Xu Liwan looked at Ning Mo."
"If Uncle thinks it's okay, you can try to get to know Miss Li better!”
Hearing this.
Ning Mo smiled and said,"
"Alright! Don't worry, I'm not a block of wood. I'll know what to do!”
Hearing Ning Mo's words, the teacher's mother and Xu Liwan nodded.
Very quickly.
Ning Mo escorted the two of them and rushed towards Duke Ying's Public House.
