Chapter 12: The Literary Banquet

Pei Ziyun couldn't help but smile dumbly, picked up the chopsticks, and ate them, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "This banquet costs a lot, what is the purpose?"

In his previous life, the original owner had a little memory, and he came once, and listened to the chat, and finally figured things out after a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Originally, this is a banquet set up by the people in the city, although this person is a person raised by the previous dynasty, but the new dynasty is also respected, loves to read, and is good at financial management, and is already a number of rich and noble people in the city. ā€

"Because it is the former dynasty to raise people, so not out of office, very promote the backward, every year to hold this banquet, seven counties in the house, the top ten children are invited, and there are famous people in the city to participate. ā€

"Not only a banquet, but also a literary meeting later, writing essays and poems, will be guided by the seniors, if you can stand out, not only will there be rich rewards, but also the spread of the literary name. ā€

These children came to take a fancy to this banquet.

At this time, I suddenly heard a commotion in front of me, and it turned out to be this person from the front court.

Pei Ziyun saw that at the front was an old man with a majestic appearance, this old man was moody, talked with the people, walked upstairs, and there were two people behind him.

This man looked to be no more than forty years old, with a mustache and beard, and his dress was not unusual, but what impressed people was his dark eyes.

Pei Ziyun ate slowly, thoughtfully, this is a person who knows by himself, Yue Qiushan, the word runs.

This old man is obviously an official, as long as the official has this style, after thinking about it carefully, he remembered: "It's Fu Yuan, the Jinshi of this mansion!"

Fu Yuanguan is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and now he is retired.

And when they saw these two people seated and a little older, someone stood up: "The students are brave and throw bricks to lead the way." ā€

The people in front of him sang loudly at this moment, either in poetry or in writing, and after a while, another person stood up, and as soon as this person stood up, everyone looked at him together.

I saw that this boy was wearing a green shirt, and when he looked in the lamp, his demeanor was chic, which attracted the attention of Fu Yuan and Yue Qiushan, and I saw that this person was singing.

Pei Ziyun looked up, and when he saw this person, his eyes instantly turned cold.

Zhang Yuyu!

If you want to say that this person has little to do with Pei Ziyun now, if you want to talk about the original owner, it can only be said that there is a slight conflict, and the original owner wastes years of time by mixing their feet casually.

Suddenly, I remembered: "It seems that this Yue Qiushan and Zhang Yuyu have an in-law relationship?"

At this time, another person's poem was praised by the old man, and Tang Zhen was also indignant.

After a while, the topic proposed by Fu Yuan came over, and on the scene outside the building, he asked for the fisherman as the theme, this is the literary banquet, eclectic, those who come can do it or not, and those who are confident will sing poetry on the spot.

The three of them were still thinking about it, Pei Ziyun looked outside, and happened to see someone fishing boat passing by, so he ordered the guy to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The three of them were all startled, and they came around, only to see that Pei Ziyun made the poem with just a few strokes, Tang Zhen took it, read it, and read it aloud unconsciously:

"Fisherman!"

"The fisherman stays in the west rock at night, and Xiao Ji Qingxiang burns Chu bamboo.

The cigarette is sold at sunrise and no one is seen, and the landscape is green.

Looking back at the middle stream of the sky, there are no clouds chasing each other on the rocks. ā€

Good poem, the words fell, only listening to others and silently, this Yue Qiushan's eyes lit up, and he praised loudly, and Fu Yuan on his side also nodded slightly, and for a while, the poem was circulated, and everyone applauded.

Poetry circulated, everyone talked, the shop guys also from time to time in response to the requirements of these readers, handed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, many scholars picked up the pen and wrote, and some scholars, they easily used up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the bag.

Pei Ziyun stood up and took a bowl of soup, and when he saw that the scholar took away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the guy didn't care, and let the scholar take it, as if he didn't see it.

was puzzled, and suddenly saw a look at it, Pei Ziyun looked back, and saw Ma Ji holding his poem at the moment, a scholar said, seeing Pei Ziyun and Tang Zhen, Wang, and Li Shusheng sitting together, his face changed, and he glanced at it fiercely.

At this time, Wang Tongsheng, who was sitting on the right side, saw this staring, and also glared back fiercely, a group of people separated by a few tables, and it was full of conflicts at the moment.

At this time, Pei Ziyun realized that Tang, Li, and Wang must have hidden something, and the three of them must have some inside information with Ma Ji's team, and they were about to ask, but at this moment, they heard some commotion in front of them.

Someone called Pei Ziyun in front, and then Wang Tongsheng pushed: "Ziyun, you did a good job, I'm calling you up." ā€

After speaking, he pointed to the front seat, and saw Fu Yuan and Yue Qiushan, commenting on Zhang Yuyu.

Looking at the current Pei Ziyun's eyes, this person is chic and dignified, listening to the comments, answering Fu Yuan's words from time to time, and seeing Fu Yuan and Yue Qiushan is very satisfied.

"It turned out that I was engaged in this literary meeting, and it was my own people who supported the scene. Pei Ziyun immediately understood, he was not stage frightened at this time, he went up, and there was another person on it at this time.

Seeing the three of them standing side by side, all of them were handsome young men, Fu Yuan sighed: "What a young man." ā€

Then there were comments one by one, pointing out the rankings, this Zhang Yuyu was the first, another person was the second, and Pei Ziyun was the third, but Fu Yuan looked at Pei Ziyun and the two, and did not talk to Zhang Yuyu like that.

After the award of this ranking, there are servants with a plate up, swept away, only to see the first place in the plate is a scroll of paintings, and the second place plate is a side of the inkstone, the painting is not expanded, are not clear, and the inkstone everyone can see clearly, see this square of ancient inkstone, carved with some plum blossoms, a little red stamen in the center of this plum blossom.

There is a student who pointed and said: "This is the Meishan tribute of the previous dynasty, the red plum inkstone, this inkstone is known as the literary name, the finished products that circulate abroad are mostly the emperor's reward, since the turmoil of the previous dynasty, this Meishan inkstone can no longer be mined for some reason, so it is scarce, mostly collected for everyone, and stored at home to suppress the literary atmosphere." ā€

Listening to the words of this student, the student understood the cherishing of the inkstone, and couldn't help but look at this ancient inkstone with burning eyes.

Even Fu Yuan was a little moved, looked at Gu Yan, and followed Yue Qiushan and said: "Zhirun, Zhirun, I said that you have Meishan Yan, but you said that you didn't have it, and you still hid it, and you want to give it away in front of me at this banquet, so you are not afraid that I will get angry and pull you to punish you." ā€

I only heard Yue Qiushan laugh and said: "If Brother Ping'an wants to pull the old decay to punish the crime, he will pull it himself, but this Meishan inkstone, don't think about it."

"Hey, I should have been grinding you more if I knew I should have done it. Fu Yuan, the word Ping'an, listened to the pity, thought about it, familiar with this Yue Qiushan felt wrong, and asked Yue Qiushan: "Zhirun, this inkstone was originally sent by your teacher in the previous dynasty, your teacher, I have been thinking about this inkstone all these years, you have shirked the loss and refused to give, today you even used this as a prize, no, no, to be honest, what is the reason, if you have something difficult, just tell me." ā€

Yue Qiushan sighed: "Brother Ping'an, in recent days, I always feel that my energy is low, and I am worried that my inkstone will remain in my hands, so I can only accompany it into the ground, it is better to give it to these young students, looking at them, I always feel that I can think of the vitality of the past." ā€

As he spoke, there seemed to be some tears in his eyes, and both of them fell silent.

Pei Ziyun noticed the second place at this time, and saw that this young man was also personable, with beautiful ears and eyes, and his two eyes were very bright, like a dot of ink, full of wisdom, and he was wearing a brocade on his body, hanging a jade pendant, and the jade pendant was shiny, looking at this inkstone.

Pei Ziyun looked at this Meishan inkstone, and couldn't help but be a little moved, but this was not his fate, he looked at the third place, only to see a book, and a silver ingot, Pei Ziyun saw his own reward, thinking that these two people were rich, and his heart secretly wrinkled.

Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, this school banquet is worth money and treasure, of course, you have to make a name for yourself, and it would be good if you could take some oil and water, and your mind was calm.

At this time, Yue Qiushan was about to send it, Fu Yuan stopped Yue Qiushan and said: "Zhirun, I have been hungry for this reward for a long time, since I can't get it, I will send it, and I will get some comfort." ā€

Yue Qiushan couldn't help but smile dumbly, sat down, and said, "Brother Ping'an, you, you." ā€

He sat down again.

When the reward was sent and only sent to Pei Ziyun, Fu Yuan picked up the book, his expression changed slightly, as if he was surprised, but he covered it up quickly, and no one else saw it, Pei Ziyun was close, and it was a little strange to see this change, I don't know why, the old man said some words of encouragement.

The top three are grateful, back to the position, at this time Tang, Wang, Li, three recognition are all around, to see what the reward is, the second reward is obvious to all, very precious, so I am curious about these three He books, there are also some books around, only to see the protagonist in the hand to see that it is "Picking up Flowers", it turns out that this book is made by the master Yue Qiushan.

Seeing this record, everyone dispersed, originally thought it was also a precious reward, but I didn't expect it to be made by Yue Juren, Tang, Wang, Li, the three scholars felt a little boring, and they didn't value this book.

Pei Ziyun took the book in his hand, did not induce, and was a little disappointed for a while, then he flipped the page and read a few pages, all of the things in this book were made by the old man Some of the articles and experiences, in simple terms, but there was no sustenance in the book, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and then I thought about it, I got this benefit, and I thought about more, I was a little greedy, I just smiled slightly, and put the book and the silver in my arms, but the silver was in my hand, slightly heavier, and I weighed it, and there were about ten taels.

This ranking was divided, and the rewards were issued, and all the children felt that this trip was in vain, but they hated themselves for not getting the ranking, and they were a little annoyed, and they were a little envious of the top three.

It's just that in the envy, a few people looked at Pei Ziyun and the four of them with dissatisfied eyes, and when the banquet was over, they saw Ma Ji leaving in a hurry with a group of people.

Tang, Wang, Li and Pei Ziyun also went downstairs together, at this time Pei Ziyun remembered Ma Ji's eyes, and was about to ask, Tang Zhen said: "Ziyun, why didn't you take away all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone just now? ā€

Pei Ziyun couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked: "These are the master's things, how can you take them casually." ā€

Seeing Pei Ziyun's surprise, the three of them laughed, and their mouths were different: "Ziyun, Ziyun, you have a big loss now, you must know that these pen, ink, paper and inkstones can be taken away, this is a gift from the old man, don't you hear it, the reader stealing the book is not stealing, but he forgot to tell Ziyun." ā€

Pei Ziyun was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"

The three of them were all happy, and they all drank some wine, and said gossipingly: "There is an inside story here, it turns out that in the earlier banquets, some poor scholars and scholars saw that the four treasures of the study room at the banquet were all of the highest quality, so they were a little moved, so after finishing the poems, they all sneaked away, and after the banquet, there were always less." ā€

"When Yue Juren saw it, he simply announced that all the four treasures of the study room at the banquet were given to the readers, and they were taken by themselves after the banquet, which is also a sign of a prosperous literary style!"
