Chapter 509: The shortage of people also stirs the storm

Wen Zhizhen, a genius in the south of the Yangtze River, can be said to be in the limelight tonight, along the way, whether it is watching the lights on the road, or guessing riddles along the way, or the current attic literary meeting, it is the focus of attention.

But after hearing the words of Qi Jiulian and the others, he got rid of everyone's compliments and came over to ask about Qiu Yan.

You can tell that his expression is a little stiff.

It's no wonder that although Wen Zhizhen has always been in Jiangnan, he has heard of Bai Zhaoyuan's name for a long time, and knows that he is the leader of the younger generation.

Yes, after Wen Zhizhen saw Bai Zhaoyuan's Yima, although he knew that the other party had gained a lot in Shilin, he was not afraid, he must know that he was in Jiangnan and had his own experience.

It is precisely when you meet your opponent in chess that you can show your ability.

But at this time, an unexpected figure emerged, standing side by side with Bai Zhaoyuan in the night sky, and the horse was against the heart ape!

Just looking at the reactions of a few courtyard masters, Wen Zhizhen knew that his limelight for a night had been completely suppressed by this scene of just a few breaths!

How could he tolerate such a thing?

"You also want to go to Qiu Yan?" Qi Jiulian frowned and sneered, "Shouldn't a talented person like you stay here, overwhelm the crowd, and leave a good story?"

Qi Jiulian became famous at a young age, and it was inevitable that he would be proud of his talents, when he was invited by the Zhang family in Jiannan, he accidentally ran into Qiu Yan, and he was repeatedly deflated, full of hostility towards Qiu Yan, but he was also beaten, and his temperament changed a lot, although he still regarded Qiu Yan as an opponent and a target, but deep in his heart, he also admired him.

Calligraphy is his pride in the ability of others, defeated in the most proud way. But I got guidance, and after I came back, I went further in the way of calligraphy, and all kinds of things in it are really not enough for outsiders.

In contrast, after losing to Wen Zhizhen tonight, the other party looked like he was on top, which caused Qi Jiulian's rebellious psychology, especially after comparing with Qiu Yan, he felt that this Wen Zhizhen was far inferior to Qiu Yan in terms of bearing. There is no good feeling at all.

As soon as his words fell, Pang Qianru's voice came from his ears: "Qi Jiulian, speak politely, Gongzi Wen is already a leader in skills tonight, leaving a good story." ”

Wen Zhizhen shook his head and said: "Miss Pang said that she laughed, Wen Mou just felt something in his heart today, where can he be regarded as a master of skills, everyone present is a rare talent, a talent of the country." Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can cultivate sentiment, and poetry and songs can be seen in the heart, but my generation reads in order to show his ambition. If you really want to divide the high and low, you can't see it until the time of the test. ”

Although Pang Qianru is dressed as a man, she can't hide her beauty. It is a rare beauty, and when she comes here, she is in the spotlight. The surrounding scholars would peek at each other from time to time, so after she said the words "skills are overwhelming", the other scholars also heard clearly.

At this time, Wen Zhizhen's words made everyone feel happy after listening to them, and their good impression of him increased greatly.

"Wen Gongzi is so modest and personable. When Xu Ran heard this, she looked at Wen Zhizhen's posture, Xia Fei's cheeks, and her eyes were full of brilliance.

"Hmph! hypocrisy!" Qi Jiulian snorted coldly, he didn't have much achievements in the article, but what he was best at was calligraphy, "It's so nice to say, isn't it just relying on a few articles to denigrate calligraphy as a small way? I won't argue with you, since we want to know how to take the imperial examination, then why do we need to introduce Qiu Yan? As long as you wait for another half a month, you can meet Qiu Yan at the imperial examination, and then you will meet friends with literature, and by the way, you will be divided into high and low, wouldn't it be happy?"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and chuckled: "Don't think that I don't know your mind, seeing the light and shadow of the giant ape, and knowing that Qiu Yan is about to become famous, do you want to use him as a stepping stone in the past?"

"Wen has a good name, there is nothing to hide. Wen Zhizhen shook his head and made a frank gentleman's appearance, "However, that Qiu Gongzi showed his ability when Bai Zhaoyuan was driving the Yi horse, and made a confrontational appearance, it may not be deliberate to strengthen his momentum." ”

Pang Qianru also said: "Well, that's the reason, Qiu Yan didn't make a move sooner or later, but he waited until Bai Zhaoyuan's identity was revealed before he took advantage of the situation to show up, maybe he wanted to borrow an east wind, and I watched his actions in the Eastern Capital, and I didn't have the intention of gathering momentum to raise hope." As she spoke, she glanced at Song Qian.

Qi Jiulian said: "Self-cultivation and learning, doing the world and then getting a name, this is a natural thing;

Pang Qianru looked surprised, stared at Qi Jiulian, and then said: "You can actually say such a truth, I want to be impressed by you." ”

The solemn look on Qi Jiulian's face then dissipated, and he scratched his head and said, "This is actually what my grandfather said, I just remember it in my heart." ”

Pang Qianru nodded and laughed: "Mr. Taixu's words are to persuade you to learn, so that you will not be addicted to the way of calligraphy." ”

Qi Jiulian's face was difficult to look at.

At this time, Xu Ran finally couldn't help but speak out: "Where is Qiu Yan you are talking about? This person is very powerful?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Ji Zheng.

She listened to everyone's words word for word, and she didn't react at first, but she soon remembered that the person Ji Zheng asked her to find was not named Qiu Yan?

It's just that there is one thing Xu Ran can't understand, tonight it is obviously Wen Zhizhen who shows his skills, and the people around him also make the appearance of the stars holding the moon to compliment Wen Zhizhen, why do these people next to him suddenly mention that Qiu Yan, especially Qi Jiulian, the meaning of his words is clearly praising Qiu Yan and belittling Wen Zhizhen, how can this make her happy?

Immediately, Xu Ran was upset for Wen Zhizhen: "Then Qiu Yan is so powerful, why didn't he even come to the Wenhui? Don't you know that this is a rare opportunity? I can get the guidance of many courtyard masters, I can exchange what I have learned with others, and I can also listen to Wen Gongzi's masterpieces?"

In fact, not only Xu Ran, but also many scholars, Confucian scholars, and Juzi who admired him very much, also followed, and heard the dialogue between Qi Jiulian, Pang Qianru and Wen Zhizhen, and they all felt that Qi Jiulian's words were exaggerated.

"The Qiu Yan in your mouth is the person who had a discussion with He Shuchang in the Eastern Capital a while ago, and he is very good at arguing, but he may not have real talent and learning. ”

"Oh, I've also heard of this name, saying that it is favored by Mr. Xiao Chen, and that it can be valued by Mr. Xiao Chen, it must not be a waste of fame, but I heard that he didn't enter the academy, probably the kind of person who studied hard, and only knew the poor and the poor. ”

"It's not, I'm coming from Jiannan, this Qiu Yan is Jiannan Jieyuan, in addition to good learning, calligraphy attainments are also amazing, that Yuanning Zhang master got his ink treasure, very cherished, light yì refused to show people, I had the pleasure to see once, it was really extraordinary, even if it was compared to the two works of Wen Gongzi today, it was not much ......"

......

Everyone was talking like this, and at the beginning many people were still full of righteous indignation, but when you and I said it one by one, it actually depicted a character with profound knowledge, amazing calligraphy, and unparalleled eloquence, and the atmosphere gradually became strange.

"According to this, this Qiu Yan is not an ordinary person, why didn't he come to the Wenhui today?"

Qi Jiulian listened to it interestingly on the side, couldn't help laughing, looked at Xu Ran who was embarrassed and angry, and said: "How about it? If you are still dissatisfied, don't go to Qiu Yan now, the province will influence him to prepare for the exam, and when the imperial examination comes, it will be clear who is better." ”

"Even if this Qiu Yan is powerful, what does it have to do with you?" Xu Ran frowned, and couldn't help but sarcastically, "Didn't you still lose to Gongzi Wen?"

Qi Jiulian's face immediately flushed, and when he noticed the eyes of the people around him, he felt a little difficult to get off the stage, and finally could only say: "Qiu Yan has taught me some experience, let me study it well, if this imperial examination, Qiu Yan is above it, and I will study his experience in the future, I may not be able to win Wen Zhizhen!"

Xu Ran's brows furrowed, and he was about to say more, but a voice as warm as jade came from the side-

"You know a lot about this Qiu Yan, can you talk to us?"

A few people followed the sound, but the sight was the courtyard masters, who came over at some point, led by an elegant man in his forties.

Xingjing, like the Eastern Capital, is a place where Darui gathers, all over the academies, there are also great Confucians, and there are sage halls to inherit, but these academies are located in the national capital, and there are many implications with the forces of the DPRK and China.

Therefore, the masters who appeared here did not have amazing scholars, but most of them were outstanding people who condensed the literary heart, representing the direction of the Xingjing literary circle.

However, without waiting for Qi Jiulian and the others to elaborate, a few exclamations suddenly came from the crowd-

"Zhang Lao Xiangguo!"

But someone suddenly noticed that at the stairs of the attic, someone was helping the old man to walk up slowly, the old man described it as withered, but his eyes were blazing, who was not the ruler Zhang Lian?

"It turns out that the rumors are true, and there are really Zai Zhi who came to judge Pinwen!"

The next moment, the scholars present were all excited, and some of them were active, and after seeing Zhang Lian, they thought of other things.

"The examination is imminent, and the ministers will not contact the candidates and the juzi unless the examiner who presides over the examination is selected......"

In the midst of everyone's different thoughts, the chain slowly spoke—

"I also told the old man about this Qiu Yan. (To be continued......)
