Chapter 97 You are clearly plagiarizing
Cai Qingyin said to Wen Qingrao, "Sister Qingrao, there are so many talented people here today, don't you have any that you like?"
Wen Qingrao shook his head and said, "Although they all look well-mannered, they don't have the integrity of a scholar. When they see the powerful looking at them , they are more weak than anyone else. I don't like men like this."
Cai Qingyin smiled faintly and did not respond.
In her heart, she also agreed with Wen Qingrao. Not to mention Wen Qingrao, even those servile scholars on the field were not worthy of her attention.
…
Inside the palace, Old Master Wen smiled slightly, and then said to the people in the room, "It looks like all the gentlemen are here. Then my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony will begin, and the banquet will begin."
Everyone bowed to Old Master Wen.
Old Man Wen clapped his hands lightly, and then the banquet began.
As he was speaking, the wooden board on one side of the house could actually be removed.
The entire room doubled in size.
On the other side were the women of the Wen family, as well as the invited ladies from the aristocratic families.
After the wooden board was removed, many women were seen looking over here.
They are in a very good position.
It’s just right to see clearly the people in the main hall.
While Xie Xunfeng was speaking, he caught sight of Huiyin.
Only then did I remember that Hua Feifei also said that Huiyin was also invited to attend this banquet.
Although Huiyin was dressed simply, it was difficult to conceal her brilliance.
Among all the girls, I saw her at first sight.
Huiyin seemed to have noticed Xie Xunfeng's gaze, and the two of them looked at each other.
Huiyin nodded slightly to Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng also smiled back.
…
The two of them just looked at each other and smiled.
Yuan Yuan who was standing by saw this.
Lin Ru whispered to Yuan Yuan, "Brother Jiu, the two of them are flirting with each other, there must be something fishy going on."
Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Humph, it's a good thing if there's something fishy going on."
After saying this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
…
Xie Xunfeng whispered to Guan Chong, "Isn't it a coming-of-age ceremony? Are they treating us to a feast?"
Guan Chong smiled and said, "Brother, of course it's not just a simple feast. The fairy sitting next to the old lady is Wen Qingrao."
"The banquet is just an excuse. Talented people from all sides will come to perform their talents. During the performance, if someone feels that he is more talented than others, he can challenge them. From the battle between two people, we can see their talents, conversation, and a series of things. So this banquet covers poetry competitions, couplets, and even sword dancing. Anyway, you can watch. It's very interesting."
Guan Chong smiled and explained to Xie Xunfeng while cracking melon seeds on the table.
As the dishes were served, Old Master Wen said, "Thank you all for coming to my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. Today, I have the honor of inviting Huiyin, a famous and talented woman in Daxia, who is also my newly adopted daughter, to sing a song for everyone, "Shui Tiao Ge Tou!" This is considered an opening."
After hearing what Old Master Wen said, all the scholars and children from aristocratic families went crazy.
Because the scholars attending this banquet were actually poor scholars who had only talent but no money.
They had heard of Huiyin's talent a long time ago, but they were short of money and didn't even have enough to buy a ticket to Huamanlou.
As for those children from wealthy families, they have the money to go.
But, ever since that night of Kui Ye.
Huiyin sang a song called "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", and after the word of this song spread.
Let Huiyin become famous in Longyang.
Immediately afterwards, several poems written by Huiyin were released.
In particular, Old Master Wen personally adopted Huiyin as his adopted daughter.
This means that even if Huiyin shows up, she will only be seen by people like them.
"Is it Miss Huiyin, the peerless talent in Hua Man Lou?"
"Where is she? Why can't I see her..."
"I am so lucky today. I can hear Miss Huiyin sing Water Melody in person..."
"Yes, it's worth the trip. It's worth the trip."
…
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Huiyin walked out very gracefully.
Behind him was a maid holding a guqin, who she put down.
Huiyin bowed slightly to Old Man Wen.
Then he looked at Xie Xunfeng and bowed slightly.
…
Huiyin's action made all the scholars and hostages in the audience jealous.
"What does Miss Huiyin mean? It's reasonable to bow to the host. But why bow to that fool?"
"It may be because Xie Hanzi won the title of Kuiwang that day. After all, he paid tens of thousands of taels of gold. It's nothing for him to pay his respects."
"Hmph, it seems that Miss Huiyin is nothing more than that. It sounds nice, she's a talented woman. But she's still seduced by money. Now it seems that she's just a name, and is still nothing more than a singer..." Some scholars said sourly.
Huiyin turned a deaf ear to what these people said.
After setting up the guqin, he began to play it.
The princes and sons of noble families, who were originally jealous, were suddenly immersed in it.
At this moment, Yuan Yuan was whispering something to Lin Ru.
After listening to this, Lin Ru immediately showed a provocative smile.
After the song was finished, Old Man Wen started to applaud.
Many scholars and children of noble families were also immersed in it.
At this moment, Lin Ru stood up and said to Old Master Wen, "Old Master Wen, Lin Ru has something he is confused about. Can you let Miss Huiyin help me solve it?"
Old Master Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, of course. Please ask."
Lin Ru smiled coldly and looked at Huiyin.
Guan Chong said to Xie Xunfeng, "Brother, when Miss Huiyin was singing just now, Yuan Yuan and Lin Ru were talking about something, and it was obvious that they were not holding back. Obviously, they didn't dare to deal with you, so they went to deal with Miss Huiyin. What a mean person..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Guan Chong, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's see what he says."
"Miss Huiyin, did you compose the lyrics and music of this song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"? " Lin Ru asked indifferently.
After listening to Lin Ru's words, Huiyin subconsciously glanced at Xie Xunfeng.
Thinking of what Xie Xunfeng had said to him, he then said to Lin Ru, "Of course. I wonder what advice does Master Lin have?"
Lin Ru's face darkened and he said, "You are talking nonsense! I have seen this poem in the ancient books in our family's library! You are clearly plagiarizing!"
As soon as Lin said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
