Chapter 76: Poetry Society
Zhou An pulled the dance and walked in the direction of the poetry meeting.
When the two came to the place where the poetry meeting was held, two people stopped at the door and did not let people in, and on the left side of the two people was placed a blank piece of paper with a request to go in.
Since it is a poetry club, you must write a poem to prove your poetic talent before you can enter.
This request is not excessive, but I want to say which poem, although he did not go to college in his previous life, but in the nine years of compulsory education, he still studied some poems, which ones are more appropriate.
Just when Zhou An was thinking, he stood up and opened his mouth to say: "Vermilion and green willows are dressed in red, the dew drops are frosty in the water, the red glow is all over the sky and the mountains and rivers, and the blue waves are wild in the wind." ”
"Please come in. "One of the gatekeepers.
Tilt Dance and Zhou An walked inside.
"Very good poetry, I didn't expect to be a female poet. Zhou An said praisefully.
Dipping out his tongue and said, "This is what my brother did in his spare time, not in a sentence, not as good as you say." ”
When the two were talking, they had already come to the poetry club, the poetry club was very lively, most of them were talented people with some literary talents, there were very few talented women, but there were more than 20 people, standing on the other side, standing separately from the talents, and the distinction was clear.
Some talented people are reading their poems and showing their talents, and some talented women see famous talents and secretly look at them to express their admiration.
"Brother Zhou An?" When Zhou An and the dance were strolling, an uncertain question came from the left.
Zhou An turned his head to look, only to see a young man in a cyan scholar's robe looking at him suspiciously, Zhou An recognized the person in front of him at a glance, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Lian Hao, you also participated in the poetry meeting?"
"It turns out that it's really Brother Zhou An, I haven't seen you for a while, you have really changed a lot. Lian Hao looked at the dancer next to Zhou An, was amazed, and said, "This is my sister-in-law, my little brother is polite here." ”
Tilting dance to cover her mouth and smile, towards Lian Hao.
was misunderstood again, Zhou An was helpless, and he also explained in a provincial way: "I think there is something wrong with the poetry meeting, there are so many people from the officialdom." Zhou An could see at a glance that there were many officials present, although they were not wearing official uniforms, but when they walked, they all had official authority.
"I don't know if you know Baiquan County?" Lian Hao didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"What does it have to do with today's poetry meeting?" Zhou An asked.
"I heard that an official surnamed Liu came from Baiquan County, and he came to see what famous talents he had and was selected to be an official in Baiquan County. Lian Hao said mysteriously.
"They don't choose such a big county on their own ground, but come to our small county town to choose, is there any explanation? Zhou An understands very well that there are greasy things between various county-level cities, generally those rich villages look down on those poor villages, and the same reason can be proven, those powerful counties naturally look down on small counties like them, so the purpose of this official surnamed Liu is interesting.
"What do you care about, everyone is gearing up, they all want to enter Baiquan County and become an official there, and this poetry meeting is mainly held for that official, so that he can select some talented people. Lian Hao said.
"Then these talented women don't want to be elected to be officials. Zhou An looked at those talented women and said.
"Of course, you won't still be those old ideas, since the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty, there have been countless people who have women as officials, and it is not a big deal to choose female officials. Lian Hao said: "When I saw you, I thought you were also going to Baiquan County as an official to show your talent and get the appreciation of Lord Liu, but it turned out that you didn't know anything." ”
"I won't go if I know, give you the opportunity, I'll stay in the county seat safely. "If Zhou An wants to leave the county, at least after the Tongmai level, his blood coagulation realm is an elite for the county, but for other county-level cities, it is not very popular, for example, Baiquan County, he has heard that there are many blood coagulation realms, and even there are dozens of Tongmai levels, if he enters Baiquan County with the blood coagulation realm, he can't afford to make a wave.
"With your talents, you may have a chance, but it's a pity. Lian Hao said regretfully.
"Brother Lian Hao, you are here, we have been looking for you for a long time, the poetry meeting is about to officially start, let's prepare quickly, think of some good poems to express. Three scholars walked through from the west, and one of them said to Lian Hao.
"Brother Lu Yuruo, Hua Huafei, and Dou Wenmei are here, I will introduce someone to you, and you will definitely be happy. Lian Hao said to the three of them.
"What kind of talent do you want to introduce to us? Although Hua Huafei said this, the eyes of the three of them all looked at Zhou An and Tilt Dance.
"He is the prodigy of Zhoujiazhuang, Zhou An, you must have heard of his deeds, and I introduced him. Lian Hao introduced.
The three of them were shocked when they heard this, they had already known Zhou An's name, and even their masters often used Zhou An to teach them.
"Luckily!" "Luckily!" "Luckily!"
Then they talked with each other, not only about knowledge, but also about scriptures, and finally talked about the recruitment of people in Baiquan County, and they talked for a long time, until Lu Yuruo patted his head and said: "The time to talk is too long, we still need to prepare poems, otherwise there will be no time." Others agreed.
"Brother Zhou An, let's take our leave and get ready," the four of them left, walked to a quiet place, and began to prepare poems.
"It's not fast to grind the gun!" He laughed at the four of them, who did not prepare poems in advance, but wrote them now, and he was also amused by their negligence.
"You really got a child at the age of ten, a Xiucai at the age of twelve, and a talent at the age of fourteen, is this true? The sound of dancing came glutinously.
"It's just a little bit of a false name when I was a child, so I don't have to worry too much about it. Zhou An waved his hand and said.
"You are so strong, not only are you talented, but also your martial arts are so strong, you are simply both civil and military, if you take the civil and military champions, you may be able to pass the test." Looking at Zhou An's eyes, they were about to become heart-shaped, and said.
"You are Zhou An, and Zhou Dabao is your brother. Just then, an angry voice came from a man's mouth.
Tilt Dance was about to listen to Zhou An's answer, but now he was interrupted by others, and his face rose with anger and looked at him.
Zhou An also looked over, and saw a young man of twenty-three or fourteen years old, looking at him angrily:
"Zhou Dabao is my brother, are you looking for him?"
"Bring him a word, don't pester my cousin anymore, or if he comes to my cousin again, I'll break his legs." The young man said.
"I don't care about this, he just looks for it. Zhou An said lightly.
The young man was choked up for a moment, and then shouted: "Do you know who I am, dare to talk to me like this, I can tear down all your Zhou family's shops in minutes." ”
"Believe it or not, I can knock down the door of your house in a matter of minutes. Zhou An also said indifferently.
The young man choked again, and said slowly: "Aren't you those nouveau riche in Zhoujiazhuang, why do you still want to give me a cross." ”
"I didn't even investigate all our information, so I was looking for trouble, I was really looking for death, for the sake of dancing, I don't want to see blood, so I won't do it today, and if I provoke me again, I will break your limbs and let you lie in bed for the rest of your life." Zhou An said coldly.
Seeing Zhou An's murderous eyes, the young man swallowed a mouthful of spit involuntarily and said, "You wait for me." He turned around and left.
"It seems that I have to go back to find Zhou Dabao and have a good talk with him, and I will also give him a support, after all, according to his age, he has also reached the age of marriage. Zhou An thought to himself.
"Who is this person, it looks so hateful. Tilt said with a wrinkle of her cute nose.
"It's okay to look for trouble, don't bother, we'll play ours. Zhou An threw him aside and continued to play with the dance.
"Tonight's poetry meeting officially begins, please come up with your own poems, whoever has the best poems, I will take out a thousand taels of silver and reward him. Shangguan Yuan walked to the stage and said to the talented men and talented women below.
