Chapter 128: The First Beauty in Yangzhou
At the Zhang family banquet, the situation was no longer under Zhang Chengxi's control, and Wu Fu jumped out of the trouble, which immediately aroused the echo of Zhang Haoran and others.
Tian Zepeng, Zhang Haoran, Shu Yuan and others had already noticed that something was wrong with Duanmuqiu, the girl next to Duanmuqiu was very strange, and she always came to Duanmuqiu's ear and muttered at critical times, but because they were the masters, they were not easy to point out.
After all, if there is no evidence for cheating, it will inevitably hurt the harmony, and once the injury and anger are harmed, it will be a big loss, but now that Lord Wu has stepped forward to preside over justice, where can they swallow their anger, and they all jumped out to question Duanmu Qiu for a while.
With their youthful vigor, they can't see through the sinister intentions behind Wu Fu's presiding over justice, Wu Fu is determined to dismantle Zhang Chengxi's platform, even if Zhang Chengxi knows it now, he is helpless, and he is helpless for a while.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Duanmu Qiu, and in the face of Wu Fu's questioning, Duanmu Qiu's expression remained unchanged at all, and he arched his hand and said:
"Lord Wu said well, there is indeed fraud in the next, today is the banquet of the Zhang family, the sister of the house as a woman can't show her face in front of everyone, so I asked Caiyun to pass the poem to me, I didn't expect Lord Wu to break the word, I am ashamed!"
As soon as Duanmu Qiu's words fell, Song Jin laughed and said, "Lord Wu, you can't help but be too serious, right?" Today's banquet is mainly to celebrate Mr. Zhang's entry into the office, we drink and write poems just to help the ear, the game ear, but I didn't expect that many talented people in Xinhe County are talented people, and they were suppressed by a yellow-haired girl in poetry, unexpectedly! ”
As soon as Song Jin said this, the audience was in an uproar, and Zhang Haoran and the others, who were still upright just now, immediately changed their faces drastically, and they were directly stunned one by one, eager to find a crack in the ground to drill down.
The talents of Xinhe County, everyone in the Zhang family felt that their faces were gloomy, but they had nothing to say.
What Song Jin said was true, indeed, Tian Zepeng and the others were crushed by Duanmu Qiu just now, and they had no chance of winning at all, and in terms of poetry alone, they were far behind.
Zhang Haoran was not convinced, and immediately said: "Lord Song, we were suppressed by a yellow-haired girl, aren't you students in Nanyou County and Dujiang County the same?" ”
As soon as Zhang Haoran said this, Song Jin didn't speak, but frowned slightly, with a look of displeasure on his face, but Wu Fu said angrily: "Shut up!" Isn't it enough to be ashamed? Can't you see that Duanmu Gongzi and the others are just playing? Originally, they just wanted to be harmonious and happy, but a few of you guys who don't know the height of the sky have to be aggressive, and they have a bad face and you have a general knowledge, so they ask a yellow-haired girl to teach you a lesson.
Hehe, you are still not convinced after you have learned a lesson, do you really want people to strip your face naked, do you know shame? ”
Wu Fu suddenly turned his face, and his words were so loud that he scolded Zhang Haoran and the others like dogs. Wu Fu's words sound absurd, but in fact, this is what it is, and the winner is not questioned.
Today's fighting poems, it is a fact that the talents of Xinhe County were defeated, and a little woman on the other side made Zhang Haoran and other talents helpless, what kind of face does Zhang Haoran have to question the poetry of other talents?
Zhang Chengxi looked at the scene, and fire could erupt in his eyes, Wu Fu was really too deceitful, he stabbed him really hard, it can be said that all Zhang Chengxi's efforts were in vain.
Thinking that he Zhang Chengxi would take office, Nie Yong didn't give him a dismissal, but Wu Fu gave him a hard time, which made him feel painful.
Today's matter, he Zhang Chengxi was frustrated, the key is that so many talented people in Xinhe County have been suppressed and the morale loss is too heavy, this time the boy test is related to Zhang Chengxi's career and future, there is no room for failure, Zhang Chengxi calculated everything, but he didn't expect Wu Fu to stab him in the back.
"Lao Cui, what should I do today?" Zhang Chengxi leaned over to Cui Da and said in a low voice.
Zhang Chengxi doesn't like Cui Da very much on weekdays, because Cui Da is his eldest brother Zhang Chengdong's person, but at the critical moment, he can only ask the old fox to help think of some countermeasures, Wu Fu's lesson is a bit deep, Zhang Chengxi feels that he should also invite a few disciples, otherwise he may have to fall on his heels in the future.
Cui Da's expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his voice and said: "Compared with poetry, Brother Lu Jiazheng can suppress this No. 1 beauty in Yangzhou!" ”
Zhang Chengxi frowned, turned his head to look at Cui Da, his lips twitched, and there was a fire in his heart, however, he didn't spit out a word after all.
What is Lu Zheng? Zhang Chengxi's magnanimity is not a pity for Lu Zheng's talent, but he is now in charge of the boy test in Xinhe County, Lu Zheng is a student in Xinhe County, and he is the most famous and influential student in Xinhe County.
Cui Da asked Zhang Chengxi to find Lu Zheng in this situation, isn't this to destroy his prestige?
Seeing Zhang Chengxi's expression, Cui Da lowered his voice and said: "Second master, Brother Zheng'er's son is a lucky star, if you use it, you can turn evil into good fortune, but if you want to have the heart of harm, but you will turn good fortune into evil, according to the old man's observation, it will be fulfilled!" ”
As soon as Cui Da said this, Zhang Chengxi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, recently there were similar sayings in his ears, at first he didn't care much in his heart, but after listening to it a lot, he could sometimes believe it.
Now even Cui Da said this, it is definitely not without purpose, Cui Da, a minion, is the most cautious, he lived to be more than seventy years old, and he has always been the role of the Zhang family, and he is definitely not a man of his mouth.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chengxi said: "Then bother the big housekeeper to invite Brother Zheng over?" ”
Cui Dadao: "I can definitely go, but I may not be able to move, Brother Zheng is busy with his studies, he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads sage books!" ”
Zhang Chengxi raised his eyebrows, and wanted to get angry, but finally pressed it down.
Cui Da slowly retreated, beckoned to the two minions who held the lamp, and walked quickly to the West Corner Courtyard.
……
In the West Corner Courtyard, Lu Zheng had just come back from outside, it was snowing, it was very cold, it was freezing at night, the carriage couldn't move, Qi Biao wrapped the horse's hooves in brown, Lu Zheng sat on the horse, he was in charge of the lamp, and it took more than half an hour for the two to come back from Luo Guancai's house.
As soon as Lu Zheng entered the courtyard, the courtyard was like a war, Ying'er beckoned Si Qi to prepare hot water, Huamei was responsible for preparing meals, Xiaozhu was responsible for going to the study to make a stove, and Ying'er herself was waiting for Lu Zheng to change clothes.
It was too cold at night, Lu Zheng was frozen outside his leather jacket, the cotton socks inside the soap boots were cold, and his frozen feet couldn't be baked in the oven, so the shadow waited for Lu Zheng to soak his feet in hot water first.
Lu Zheng was lying on the chair, enjoying the careful service of the shadow, and his mood was not high.
Today, Zhang Chengxi took office, and the teacher Luo Guancai's mood was very low, Luo Shi has been waiting for this lack for so many years, whether in terms of qualifications or talent, Luo Guancai is much higher than Zhang Chengxi.
According to the normal situation, Luo Guancai has the status of a person, and it is logical for Nie Yong to recommend him, and for so many years, Luo Guancai has also provided a lot of help to Nie Yong, but the result is that Zhang Chengxi has taken the position.
Lu Zheng could clearly feel the loss in the teacher's heart, and Lu Zheng was extremely guilty about it, because he had planned this incident behind the scenes from beginning to end.
The reason why Lu Zheng did this, on the one hand, was for his own consideration, he offended the people of the Zhang family, and it became very difficult to gain a foothold, and he even had to worry about his life at any time, he needed to stabilize the Zhang family.
On the other hand, he considered from Nie Yong's point of view, Nie Yong had just made a little improvement in politics, the prefect Dai was gone, and the mountain that was pressing on Nie Yong's head was removed, and this was the time when he was about to make political achievements.
In this case, Nie Yong and the Zhang family are close, and it is an excellent opportunity to win over Zhang Chengxi, with the financial resources and influence of the Zhang family, Nie Yong can easily govern Xinhe County!
Lu Zheng considered all aspects properly, but he didn't consider Luo Guancai, it was reasonable, he should recommend his teacher to Nie Yong, but in the face of practical interests, he finally gave in, this is the helplessness of life.
Maybe after this setback, Luo Guan will regain his ambition to enter Beijing to participate in the examination, and the future is a blessing for Sai Wen, but for the current Lu Zheng, his guilt is difficult to let go of no matter what.
Ying'er felt Lu Zheng's depressed mood, and she said: "Third son, don't sulk, the second master's banquet doesn't invite you, maybe it's whose loss it is!" I don't believe it, this time the boy tested, the county commander surnamed Nie really dared to wear small shoes for you.
If he dares to do that, Yangzhou will turn the sky upside down, and those talented people in Yangzhou will not be able to spare him. ”
"Huh?" Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he immediately understood that Ying'er would be wrong, thinking that Lu Zheng was disappointed because he did not participate in the Zhang family's banquet.
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "You girl, what do you know, I am thinking about the homework that the teacher gave me today!" ”
"By the way, tomorrow you tell Sun San and ask him to send another cart of charcoal to Master Luo, today Master Luo will give me a lecture, and my body is shivering with cold!"
Luo Guancai's teaching of Lu Zheng can be said to be exhaustive, he taught his life's skills without reservation, and recently, he has strict requirements for Lu Zheng, which is equivalent to Lu Zheng needing to participate in the imperial examination every day.
This model is similar to the sea of mock exam questions on the earth, Luo Guancai himself is a test master, and the exam papers collected at home over the years are piled up in a room, and a large number of exam questions are recorded in his place.
Through this high-intensity mock exam, Lu Zheng's Shiwen has been greatly exercised, Lu Zheng is making rapid progress, and he is full of gratitude to Luo Guancai in his heart.
"Hmph, I really don't know what they think, the second master is an official, in charge of the boys' test, the third son, you should have been the benchmark for Xinhe's students, and he set you as a benchmark, which is also of great benefit to him, but it's ...... Hmph, there is really no distinction between public and private! Ying'er said angrily, that puffing appearance made Lu Zheng want to laugh when he saw it, and he felt extremely warm in his heart.
