Chapter 68 Winter Plum

Zhao Shouyi, who was standing by, was very jealous. He loved Dangyang County Lord the most and had a crush on him for three or four years. Seeing that Zhao Shouyi seemed to be interested in Dangyang County Lord, otherwise how could Zhao Shouyi be so polite to Dangyang County Lord? Zhao Shouyi, who judged others by himself, would be willing to be taken away by Zhao Shouyi? In addition to the hatred in the past, Zhao Shouyi really had a new hatred and old hatred in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhao Shouyi also knew that he was definitely not the opponent of Zhao Jin's barbarian. He couldn't do anything, but he was good at talking. Zhao Shouyi stood up with a sneer and said, "Zhao Jin, you just said to arrange the seats for the guests!"

"Nothing wrong!" Zhao Qian didn't think there was something wrong with him just now. Although he was a little domineering, morally Zhao Qian claimed that Zhao Shouyi had no place to blame him.

"Do you know where we are? Not all cats and dogs can be our guests!" Zhao Shouyi sneered.

When Zhao Shouyi said this, many people immediately took the opportunity to show sneering. There are many people who are jealous of Zhao Jin. Even if they are not jealous, there are many people who don’t like Zhao Jin’s arrogant and domineering nature.

At this moment, a scholar stood up calmly, smiled and bowed to Zhao Qian, saying, "Not talented, Cui Dongming, Qinghe, Hebei!"

Without Zhao Jin's doubt on this person's intelligence, someone had already stood up and bowed: "Is it because Cui Shaojun, who was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of fourteen, was proficient in the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"I'm not here to be the only one! Your words are so praiseful!" Cui Dongming was very Confucian, and his every move exuded a gentle and elegant smell.

When he heard that he was sure that he was not the same name and surname, many people immediately stood up and bowed to Cui Dongming, giving Cui Dongming a very good face.

Zhao Qian frowned secretly in his heart. What did this hypocrite look like he looks awesome?

As a personal eunuch, Xiao Xuanzi is naturally proficient in observing appearance and color, and has a good memory. He approached Zhao Chen a few steps and said softly: "Prince, that guy is from the Cui family in Hebei. Although the Cui family in Hebei is not as good as before after the five generations of war, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. You have to be careful!"

Zhao Bi's heart was immediately shocked. The Cui family in Hebei was very famous and made its fortune in the Eastern Han Dynasty. By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was even the largest clan in the north.

It was even more amazing when it was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. The world was settled, so we naturally had to repair some books. When officials at that time revised the "Clan Chronicle", they were accustomed to list Cui as the largest surname. When Emperor Taizong of Tang found out, he was furious and said, "The Cui family has no official position and no talent, why should it be ranked first? Is it because of my Li family, and I am the emperor, and I am not as good as the Cui family?" Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered the change of the surname Li of the royal family to be the first, the eldest son of the imperial family, the eldest son of the imperial family, and the Cui family and other Shandong gentry ranked third. However, despite this, the people regarded the Cui family as the largest family for a long time.

Of course, these are all things about the old calendar. After the five generations of warriors and warlord separatist rule, the Cui clan in Hedong, as a typical literati clan, was tragic. By the Song Dynasty, the clans that were already in decline were divided into two branches, one Qinghe and the other Boling. But then again, this reputation and foundation were still very strong.

Let’s stop talking and get back to the point. After seeing these literati’s hypocritical politeness, Cui Dongming smiled at Zhao Jin and said, “I just heard Brother Shouyi’s words, but I didn’t think of a poem recently, and today I’ll throw bricks and attract jade for the prince!”

Zhao Qian snorted coldly in his heart, you said you were throwing bricks and attracting jade, but in fact you were just a problem for me! Hypocrite, but you are quite kind and did not say that you just thought of this poem!

The reason for this situation is that Zhao Chen said before that he was a guest, but this was a poetry gathering. If he did not have a certain talent for poetry, what kind of guest would he be? However, Zhao Chen had to solve a lot of problems, and the poems he wrote had to be more than Cui Dongming. Otherwise, Zhao Chen would have been overwhelmed by Cui Dongming, so Zhao Chen would not be able to stay.

Although I know the other party’s little thoughts, it is an open conspiracy and cannot do anything even if I take advantage of the situation.

However, if Zhao Jin dared to come to the meeting, he naturally had some support and was not afraid of Cui Dongming. He said confidently: "It is the king's preference to make friends with literature, so I'll invite him!"

Cui Dongming, although he was modest and polite to treat people, was very proud in his field of expertise. He slightly held his head and his hands were behind him. After walking two steps, he began to recite quietly. "The jade snow was exquisitely hung on the branches, and the peach and plum blossoms were charming in the spring breeze. It was so clear that no one could explain it, and the fragrance was silently presented to the tourists."

As soon as he finished reciting, someone asked, "Don't you know the fate of the new work?"

""Winter Plum"!" Cui Dongming replied with a smile.

Zhao Shouyi and Cui Dongming have a good relationship. If it weren't for this, Cui Dongming wouldn't have been the first to stand up just because of personal preferences. Zhao Shouyi naturally had to repay her favor!

Zhao Shouyi clapped his palms and sighed: "Although there are many poems written with plum blossoms this year, I think I am afraid that Brother Dongming will be the first one! Although the whole text is without plum blossoms, it silently tells the beauty of plum blossoms. Just as Brother Dongming's poem expresses the faint heart of plum blossoms, it is very elegant and uninterpreted, and the fragrance is silently presented to the tourists! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"Shaojun Cui is very talented! This poem can be the hall of everyone!" A scholar sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Dongming's indifferent heart is very rich in the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties! I don't bow my waist for five dou of rice, so I admire you!" Another nobleman stood up and sighed.

The Lord of Dangyang County also sighed: "I am afraid that I will set my head early in the poem meeting tonight!"

Even the enemy Zhao Chen clapped his palms without losing his grace, and smiled and praised: "It's really good!"

Faced with the praise that rushed towards him like a tide, although Cui Dongming was not proud and arrogant, but just smiled with a reserved smile, the arrogant look in his eyes could not be concealed.

The Song Dynasty had a great literary style, so girls naturally chose a spouse as the best one. Seeing that Cui Dongming had an extraordinary background and his literary talent was still so outstanding, many girls immediately looked at Cui Dongming with lucid eyes, and their hearts moved secretly.

Inadvertently attracted a lot of men's hatred and jealousy for Zhao Jin. After Zhao Jin learned about the psychological activities of the men at these poems, he didn't know if he would thank Cui Dongming?

Of course, even though Cui Dongming attracted a lot of hatred, the power of Zhao Jin's global ridicule face should not be underestimated. Many people looked at Zhao Jin with a proud look on their faces, as if Dongmei was not made by Cui Dongming, but by them.
