Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Poetry Society

Finally, a quarter of an hour after Truman waited, a gong sounded, and the Linlang Poetry Club officially opened.

"It's coming, it's coming." The sound of cheering resounded throughout the four floors.

The literati and scholars who had been scattered all over the country also gathered in the middle at this moment, waiting for the appearance of the person who struck the gong.

Suddenly, the candles dimmed.

A light lit up from above, and a figure flew with streamers and fell to the ground.

This is a woman, dressed in a light veil and holding an incense fan, standing quietly.

The beautiful face looked at everyone with a smile on her face.

"Boat Smoke Girl, it's Boat Smoke Girl."

"The smoke girl of Wanhualou?"

"It's so beautiful to see a living person."

"Everyone says that the smoke girl of Wanhualou is not on the beauty list is a loss on the beauty list, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation."

Follow the gaze of the crowd.

Truman also saw the face of the smoke girl.

The girl is indeed extremely beautiful, tall and slender, with a great chest, her face is out of the ordinary, her incense fan is gently shaken, her posture moves slightly, and every move gives people a sense of temptation.

She smiled slightly, and she was charming and gorgeous.

Her beauty is on par with Mrs. Luo.

Hearing everyone's praise, the smoke bowed gently, and the sound was like a trickle of yellow warblers, refreshing people's hearts.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Fang Yanxin has received it."

"Could it be that this year's Linlang Poetry Club is presided over by Miss Fangyan?" Said a good deed.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an immediate boil below.

"It's really a smoke girl."

"If it's a smoke girl, even if you don't get anything from coming to this Linlang Poetry Club today, it's worth the trip."

"What else do you want to get, it's worth the trip to see the smoke girl."

Fang Yan smiled softly, and his language was gentle and affectionate.

"The host is not a smoke."

After Fang Yan finished speaking, another female voice sounded.

"It's still me who presides."

She stepped out from behind, and in a moment she was standing on the high platform where the smoke was.

This person Truman knows is the old bustard of Wanhualou, Huang's mother.

Her appearance naturally caused dissatisfaction among everyone in the audience.

"Mother Huang?"

"Why is it Huang's mother again, he has presided over five or six sessions."

One person even shouted: "Mother Huang, can you give the young girl some chances, you are so old." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the audience.

Huang's mother, who was attacked by life, was also angry, she pointed at the man and scolded: "No matter how old I am, I can have your mother and old, uneducated things, if you don't participate, get out, my five good girls and fairy-like people, seeing you are an insult to them." ”

After Huang's mother finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the field, and the scholar who spoke loudly blushed and lowered his head.

He was joking, perhaps.

But after all, the words are unintentional, and the listeners are intentional.

The girl smiled again to break the silence in the field, and she said: "Fangyan believes that everyone is a brilliant person, so Fangyan is waiting for everyone in the Linlang layer, but you must come." ”

There was a provocative element in her words, so that the people in the audience couldn't bear it anymore, and they all howled wolves.

"Definitely, definitely."

"The champion of this year's Linlang Poetry Club must be mine."

Yours?

In an inconspicuous corner on the side, Truman chuckled inwardly.

What do you take to fight with the eight masters, with the poets and poets, and with the poems of these famous poets for thousands of years?

Wash up and go to sleep.

I've got five hundred merit points.

After the girl finished speaking, she looked around with a smile like a flower again, her eyes fixed on several people, bowed again, and retreated.

Naturally, this caused another wolf howl.

"Quiet!"

Huang's mother shouted, and only after everyone was quiet did she continue.

"This Linlang poetry meeting is the same as usual, everyone uses any topic, any theme, poems can also be written, sign their names after finishing, and hand them over to the high platform on the right."

"This year's selection method is different from usual, it is divided into two selections, the first time, we choose the better poems internally, and the second time, we will choose the better poems."

"The two people invited this year are much more famous than before."

"We invited Bai Xiaotong's second disciple, Mr. Duan Wenyao Duan, and Mr. Yan Wenang, a famous teacher of the Great Jin Dynasty, who has lectured for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the purpose of our two choices is to prevent some of you from polluting their eyes."

"At the same time, the purpose of inviting these two old gentlemen must have been guessed by everyone......"

At this point, everyone's faces showed excitement.

Huang's mother said loudly: "That's right, the outstanding people of this Linlang Poetry Club can get the guidance of two famous teachers, and the champion of this Linlang Poetry Club ......"

Huang's mother paused.

"The champion of this Linlang Poetry Club can not only see a few good girls on the upper floor at one time, but also be accepted as a disciple by one of the two, you know, the champion of the last session is the eighth disciple of Mr. Yan Wenang, and the disciples of these two old gentlemen, the worst is also known as a showman."

"But the two old gentlemen have already rumored that they will not accept disciples for many years?" And there were those who doubted.

Mother Huang smiled slightly, "That's true, but my master persuaded them a lot, and finally let them loosen their mouths, the two old gentlemen love talents, and they are also willing to give second-class young people a chance, so ......"

"Come on, guys."

Huang's mother's words undoubtedly brought the atmosphere to a climax.

"Let's get started."

"Mother Huang, let's get started."

"I can't wait."

seemed to be very satisfied with the atmosphere in the field, and Mother Hua was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"In addition to the points I said at the beginning, the most important thing is that you are not allowed to plagiarize, but you are at your disposal, because in front of those two well-informed famous teachers, even if no one knows the poems you plagiarized, they will recognize them."

"Half an hour to limit the time, the Linlang Poetry Club will start at this moment."

After Huang's mother finished speaking, everyone had quickly stepped aside, either closing their eyes and pondering, or looking into the distance, or swaying their pen and ink.

In a short time, two or three people had already completed the poem and handed it in.

They were quite satisfied with their poems and happily discussed them.

Compared with meeting the girls above, what they want more is to be instructed by a famous teacher, or to be accepted as a disciple by him.

Because it means that they are ranked in the imperial examination.

The worst is also a showman, as long as they don't learn from Liu Yuanwei to be a beggar, they will have a career, and they will have a group of wives and concubines.

Truman also came to a chair, silently wrote out the poems that he had already thought of in his head, and handed them in.
