I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 212 The Strange Banquet
Seeing this, Song Mu didn't show any stage fright at all, and immediately bowed his hands to everyone, and then spoke.

"People from Xiashiyang County, who studied Song Mu in Jizhou Prefecture, are honored to be invited to this banquet."

As Song Mu said, he looked at the person Xu Yuncai looked at just now. The other person was a man over 1.7 meters tall. He looked extremely handsome, but there was a bit of fatigue between his brows.

Seeing Song Mu salute immediately, the other party also got up to return the salute, and the people around also got up one after another.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Zhang Tianke, a member of the lower Yuzhang family, is studying in the Fu Xue."

Zhang Tianke said this to Song Mu, and even stepped forward, with a somewhat enthusiastic expression on his face.

Immediately, his eyes swept across Song Mu's body one by one, and he was obviously a little surprised to see Song Mu's tall and burly man, but his eyes suddenly swept aside, and then led Song Mu to sit down.

"Brother Song can come to my banquet, I am really flattered, everyone, this is Song Mu who has appeared in "Tianxia Wenkan" six times, and everyone knows him today."

Song Mu frowned at the moment. Isn't the young master of the Zhang family named Zhang Tianju signed on his post? Why is this Mr. Zhang in front of him...

Zhang Tianke obviously also saw Song Mu's surprised expression, and explained with a smile.

"My younger brother is indeed studying at Yuzhang Academy, but today is not a coincidence. His teacher asked him to come because he had something to do. Brother Song, please don't be offended."

Song Mu nodded after hearing this, feeling a little disappointed.

Zhang Tianke guided Song Mu to sit down at the side, and immediately introduced it to the people around him. Song Mu also bowed to everyone and listened to everyone's self-introduction.

However, Song Mu had just met with a few people around him, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Although most of these people are scholars, they seem to be either rich or expensive, and in their eyes when they look at themselves, apart from the necessary respect, the others are actually somewhat joking and complacent. Song Mu, how funny is it?
This made Song Mu unclear for a while, so he was about to ask Xu Yun who was next to him, but the other party stared straight at a person in the distance who was facing Song Mu's table.

Song Mu raised his head to look at the moment, his expression suddenly turned cold.

It was a handsome man in a lavender robe, but his face was thin and narrow, and his eyes seemed to be somewhat clouded.

At this moment when Song Mu looked over, the other party raised his chin unconsciously and narrowed his eyes even more.

Xu Yuncai who was beside him said in a low voice with some displeasure at the moment.

"This guy surnamed Zhang is not a very good person. He even called that guy over after organizing a messy banquet."

Song Mu lowered his eyes and looked sideways slightly before Xu Yun said again.

"That guy is Song Liwen, the second son of the Song family in Hongzhou, who is also a scholar studying in Yuzhang Academy."

"Although he can read, he also likes to compare and show off. If you ask him to come, he must show off."

Hearing this, Song Mu's heart was suddenly shaken, and he clenched his fists unconsciously. At this moment, when he looked at the other party again, his eyes were also cold.

It turned out that this guy was from the Song family in Hongzhou.

At this moment, Song Mu also felt something strange in his heart. This banquet was completely different from what he thought, and now he had a faint feeling that he had entered someone else's trap unknowingly?

Various thoughts flashed like lightning in Song Mu's mind. Song Mu just took a sip of tea with a calm face, and then slowly looked at the other party.

This time Song Mu's eyes were a little firmer, and he glanced at the other party immediately before looking elsewhere with a cold face.

At this moment, the servants in the restaurant were serving food to everyone. Although there were servants walking around and the dishes were fragrant, everyone was exchanging glances, and there was something wrong everywhere.

"Everyone, I'm really touched that you can come to Zhang's banquet today. Speaking of which, today is Qiqiao Festival. I wish you all good luck in meeting your lovers and companions in the future."

At this moment, Zhang Tianke raised his glass and said to everyone, and everyone also raised their wine glasses.

Song Mu also picked up the cup and drank it with everyone.

But after this, the venue suddenly became lively, everyone was drinking and chatting, and Song Mu was sitting in front of the table, but he just took a few sips of tea at the moment.

Not long after, that Zhang Tianke actually came forward and immediately filled the cup with Song Mu.

"Brother Song must have come to the provincial capital for the first time, right?"

Zhang Tianke asked, Song Mu nodded with a smile, and immediately clinked glasses with the other party, Zhang Tianke drank it in one gulp, but continued to speak to Song Mu with a smile.

"Brother Song, don't be too cautious. We are all students. We don't talk about state affairs here, but only about reading and romance."

Having said that, the other party looked at Song Mu with a little flickering eyes, and then said with emotion.

"Speaking of which, although Brother Song doesn't live in the provincial capital, his poems are famous far and wide. They have been published in "Tianxia Wenkan" six times, which has attracted the attention of the world."

"Even if I exhausted all my efforts, I still couldn't be published in Tianxia Wenkan once. It really puts me in the second place."

Zhang Tianke seemed to be on a whim, and immediately talked with Song Mu.

"Brother Song, the poems you wrote are excellent, and "Exorcism" made my blood boil even more. It's just a pity. We originally hoped to see Brother Song seven or eight times. It has been published in Tianxia Wenkan several times."

When Zhang Tianke said this, Song Mu just smiled for a while, but the other party seemed to be interested in something, and immediately clapped his hands towards the field, and then said to everyone.

"Everyone, Zhang was lucky to meet Brother Song Mu today, and he happened to invite a few nobles from Xueyuelou to perform "Ye Huai Gu" and "Nan Xiangzi" with you!"

"It can be regarded as a clean-up for my brother Song Mu!"

The other party spoke loudly, and everyone in the field looked excited, and immediately shouted and shouted, their demeanor has lost the demeanor of a scholar.

Not long after, a few women wearing gorgeous skirts, thin veils covering their faces, and affectionate eyebrows walked in, bringing a burst of fragrance for a while.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yuncai next to him lowered his eyes and muttered "guilty, sin". Song Mu looked at these people, as well as Zhang Tianke, who was in high spirits, and frowned involuntarily, feeling a little bit on pins and needles.

The other party's actions, as well as today's banquet, are a little bit wrong to be honest.

His poems have been adapted by others and sung by people in brothels, shouldn't he ask himself whether he likes it or not?
But Song Mu couldn't say anything at the moment, so he could only think about this matter and think about finding an excuse to leave.

The few women were seated in the field at the moment, and then the sound of the zither came out slowly, and the voice of a woman singing softly came out slowly.

The voice was melodious and crisp, with a sad tone. Song Mu heard that the rhyme should be Ye Huai Gu, but all the words in it have been changed.

Song Mu sat down silently, with a little displeasure on his face, but at the moment he could only sit down and drink tea.

The girls sang two poems one after another, and the crowd became even more lively. Zhang Tianke still stepped forward, his words and actions were a bit frivolous.

Song Mu really couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to leave immediately, but a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"The writing of the lyrics is just a slap in the face, and it can't be put on the stage. If you want to say that this word is well done, it should be Song Mu, Song's chief."

When Song Mu heard the voice, he immediately raised his eyes to look, and after some searching, he found that it was what Song Liwen said.

The other party's cloudy eyes were looking at Song Mu at the moment, as if they were succeeding.

As soon as everyone in the venue heard this, they all looked at Song Mu, and there was a bit of joy in that expression, and some people immediately echoed.

At that time, when those women heard what Song Liwen said, they immediately looked at Song Mu, and there seemed to be a bit of surprise in their expressions.

The next moment, a gust of fragrant wind came, and a graceful woman had already come in front of Song Mu, and immediately saluted Song Mu.

"I didn't expect this servant to meet Mr. Song here."

The pungent smell of rouge made Song Mu feel uncomfortable. He raised his head immediately, but at this moment, his eyes passed the other side, and met the eyes of Song Liwen who was standing in the distance, and there was a hint of sullenness in his expression.

I can't help it, have you started provoking?
