Chapter 23 Meet 'Qin Jue' Xiaoxiao Again

When Ye Chu and Zhou Chen arrived at Baihuayuan, the poetry meeting was already halfway through.

At this moment, Mr. Su and the others were bowing their heads to comment on the submitted works one by one, while communicating with the two judges around them in a low voice, they did not notice that His Royal Highness had come down.

Of course, even if they saw it, with their status and status, and the other party was just a prince, it wouldn't be right for them to come forward to meet him in person.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, literati attached great importance to the so-called integrity.

Unlike Zhou Chen's indifference, it was the first time for Ye Chu to participate in such a poetry meeting, and he was actually very curious.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what the ancients did besides drinking and writing poems at poetry gatherings.

I saw him standing not far away, looked left and right, and found that there were probably several different groups on the field.And in each group, there are also one or two young masters at the head, while proudly accepting the flattery from the people around them, while secretly looking at the women's exclusive area opposite from time to time.

"Didn't it mean that before the poetry meeting started, there would be a group of brothel girls with scantily clad clothes and open personalities sitting beside them... Ma Dan, this is not formal at all!" Ye Yu said disappointedly.

Sure enough, the experts of later generations will talk about shit.

At this moment, Ye You suddenly found an acquaintance in the crowd.No, to be precise, not very familiar either.

It was Liu Zheng, the second young master of Tianxiang Tower who had bet with him before.

However, this Shen Yuan Poetry Meeting is essentially an exchange meeting for the descendants of famous families and business tycoons in Jinling.I heard from my father that Mr. Liu of the Liu family can be considered a respectable figure in Jinling.So it was not surprising that Ye Chu saw this person.

But what surprised him a little was that Liu Zheng sat with the third son of the Shen family. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing happily, they must have a good relationship.

"Come with me, let's go to my sister's place. Hmph, I don't want to stand with them, I'm afraid I can't help beating them." Zhou Chen greeted Ye Yu after seeing his sister Zhou Jing.

"It just so happens that I have the same intention." Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Ye Chu nodded slightly, feeling relieved.

Among the people who came today, he hardly knew each other.Even if he wanted to go, he might be isolated.There's no way, I glanced around just now, and it's almost Ye Chu himself who looks the most shabby.

In his mind, the reason why he would send himself an invitation this time was definitely not because of his status as a scholar or the few poems he wrote, but mostly because of the prince's face.

As Zhou Chen and Ye Yu swaggered into the arena, everyone around looked at the two who appeared suddenly.

When they saw that one of them turned out to be Prince Ning's son, all of them looked ugly.

"Why did he come here? Didn't he often go to the lake behind Shenyuan to play alone?"

"Hehe, that's because he knows, even if he comes, no one pays attention to him."

"Oh, that's it. No wonder I brought someone here today."

Most of these people who dare to speak up are from prominent official families.Because they know, even if the son knows, he can't do anything to them.There was no such thing as a crime of speech in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And those young people who came from merchant families kept silent and just listened quietly to these people's complaints with a smile on their faces.

"Hey, isn't the person next to him Ye Chu who wrote "Linjiang Immortal"?"

"Hmph, a dog of a feather. That Ye Yi is a disgrace to us Jinling scholars. To be with that scum, you are really a scholar!"

Some people noticed Zhou Chen, and naturally some people also noticed Ye Chu next to him.

"If they come over in a while, just pretend you didn't see them." Shen Ziyan looked at Zhou Chen who was coming, a look of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and then he said in a deep voice to the people around him.

Unfortunately, to the astonishment of everyone, the two went straight to the area where the female relatives were.

"This……"

A group of people looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

At the poetry meeting, there is no rule that men and women cannot sit together.It's just that they have to worry about the so-called gentleman's style, so they sit separately.And this rule has also been acquiesced by everyone.

Fortunately, the prince said that in their hearts, they were not scholars at all.Besides, the princess is also there, so it is reasonable to sit there.But you are a scholar, why don't you play your cards according to the routine.

For a moment, many people looked at Ye Chu's back with complicated expressions.Although some people wanted to follow, wouldn't doing so slap Shen San in the face again...

Today, the Shen family was at home, and the four major families only had the young master of the Xiao family, and the other two families did not have their peers.In other words, at this moment, among the disciples present, Shen Ziyan is the boss.This face must be given.

Ye Chu followed Zhou Chen to a group of beauties. Along the way, he caught a glimpse of the envy and hatred in the eyes of each young man, and felt helpless in his heart. The hatred was inexplicable...

For the sudden presence of two strange men beside them, the daughters of the aristocratic family felt somewhat shy in their hearts.

Of course, most of the eyes were on the eldest son, Zhou Chen, the diamond king.

As for Ye Chu, sorry to bother you.

They founded the poetry club with a purpose, but it is definitely not because they are interested in poetry. Most of them are also mediocre, and the name of talented women is just in vain.

And those women who are really talented don't bother to join the poetry club.Because the way of poetry itself does not lie in comparison and competition, it is just a way to cultivate sentiment.Just like Qin Wanqing, if she hadn't helped her best friend Zhou Jing, she wouldn't have joined the Xiaoxiang Poetry Club.

After Zhou Chen brought Ye Chu over, he sat directly next to his sister and ignored him.The princess Zhou Jing also glanced at Ye Chu lightly, but said nothing.As for Qin Wanqing, she didn't even raise her head.

Well, I only know the three of you, and now all of you are pretending not to know each other, as expected, you grew up together.

Ye Chu rolled his eyes and had no choice but to find a seat by himself.He can't sit next to the princess too.There are some rules, at least on the surface, he has to abide by.

However, there were also a few bold young ladies who took the initiative to invite Ye Chu to sit with them when they found out that this person was Ye Chu, who was in the limelight recently.It made him feel ashamed for a while.

After some declines, Ye Yu finally found a row of empty seats under a willow tree not far away.But it is a little far away from the location of the princess and others.

It's better to stay far away, so as to save the hatred value.

Ye Chu didn't care.He didn't come here to flirt with girls, he just wanted to see the ancient poetry fair.

"After being judged by my husband, Mr. Su and Mr. Wang, these three works are particularly outstanding..."

Not far away, Shen Ze's voice came faintly. Ye Yu sat alone under the willow tree, a little bored.

Alas, coming here was a mistake.There's nothing special about this poetry meeting, at least it's a song and a dance.Tsk tsk, do you want to discuss with Zhou Chen about holding a Jinling Gala or something, so that ancient people like them know what the quintessence of a country is.

At this moment, Ye Yu suddenly heard light footsteps coming from behind, and at the same time, a faint scent of body fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.

"Young Master, what are you doing here?" Ye Yu just turned around when a cold female voice rang in his ears, "If it's for the matter just now, then please leave here."

After seeing who was coming, Ye Chu immediately showed a wry smile, and said: "Miss Xiaoxiao misunderstood, I am not here to trouble you."
