Yangzhou eight counties, Xinhe County is small in area, but business is prosperous, and what is criticized is that there are no talents, for Nie Yong, this is almost an unbreakable situation.

There is a Zhang family in Xinhe County that occupies half of the country, and the Zhang family has 100,000 acres of land, as well as the Liu family, the Liang family, the Cui family, and the Xu family, which are close to the Zhang family, which are all big families.

The Zhang family is an imperial businessman, and these families are also the families of merchants, and under the influence of these families, there are not many seedlings of scholars in Xinhe County, which is more than a step worse than other counties.

In addition, Nie Yong himself is not from Jiangnan, he was born in the Huguang area, and was sent to Jiangnan in the Hanlin Academy in the capital.

Not only can't the talent be retained, but the agricultural mulberry is taxed, and the criminal case prison Xinhe County is also ranked behind, and the triennial performance evaluation is coming, and his future fate is really unpredictable for Nie Yong!

"The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs!" Nie Yong sighed lightly, he Nie Yong is an orthodox jinshi, and he is a second-class first-class jinshi from a jinshi, and he directly entered the Hanlin Academy, and he worked as a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy for three years, but he was sent to Jiangnan to be a magistrate, who can he talk to about his grievances?

From the capital to Jiangnan, the meaning of Nie Yong's belittlement is obvious, and his bosses and colleagues in Yangzhou can see it clearly, who will give him a good look?

Just like today's cultural meeting, colleagues are polite on the surface, but secretly they have long regarded Xinhe County as the last!

A dragon boat race can't explain anything, but Xinhe County is at the end of the eight counties, where can Nie Yong, as the magistrate of the county, look good?

"Brother Nie, today's Wenhui is in the limelight in Xinhe County!" Song Jin, the magistrate of Nanyou County, came over with a smile and said with a smile.

Nie Yong frowned slightly, and on the other side, Ma Zhixian of Dujiang County said: "Huh? What does Brother Song mean by this? We'd love to hear from you! ”

Song Jin said: "Today, our Zhishui Literature Society has become a poetry meeting, the reason is because of the so-called Guanshan Poetry Society, the Guanshan Academy under the rule of Brother Nie is the foundation of this poetry meeting, hehe, I didn't expect it, Brother Nie actually left such a hand in secret, it was really a thunderstorm in a silent place, brother admires!" ”

"Uh......" Nie Yong was speechless, he didn't know what the Guanshan Poetry Club was, although the Guanshan Academy was a county school, but Gui Liang was in charge of the academy.

Although Gui Liang is white, where is his status in Yangzhou that Nie Yong can compare? Nie Yong wanted to get close to Gui Liang countless times, but he couldn't get what he wanted.

Like this mountain viewing poetry meeting, Nie Yong didn't know in advance at all, and now that Song Jin talks about this topic, how can he not be embarrassed?

Ma Zhixian of Dujiang County on the side said: "Oops! Brother Nie is so generous! I said why don't the talents of Xinhe County play today, dare to love that the talents have gone to the Guanshan Poetry Club.

Tsk, tsk, the talents of Xinhe County are amazing, they don't look down on us at the Hydrological Society, hehe! ”

Ma Xuewang, the magistrate of Dujiang County, is the most cautious, and his ability to flatter is a first-class power, and he is a little mean in these words, and the spearhead is directed at Nie Yong.

Today's Wenhui, all the magistrates and counties are not satisfied, Zeng Guoning and Gui Liang of Zhishui Academy are fighting each other, and they have to fight for a high level in everything, and everyone has no opinion.

However, because of this controversy, the performance of the talents of today's Hydrological Society is out of standard, and the county lords in each county are a little unhappy in their hearts.

For today's cultural meeting, all counties have made full preparations and are ready to hold a few people out. What is the most important thing about the cultural meeting? It's a talented man who makes a name for himself!

How did the Four Masters of Water Stop come about? Wasn't it praised at the literary meeting?

Zeng Guoning turned today's literary meeting into a poetry meeting, and threw out a restriction that is not allowed to "hurt the spring and sad autumn", coupled with various rhyme restrictions, it is too difficult to produce good works.

How can talented people make a name for themselves without good works? How to be in the limelight?

Zeng Guoning is highly respected, and it is not easy to offend the county lords from all walks of life, but Nie Yong was originally an outsider, he was excluded by his colleagues and suppressed by his superiors, Song Jin was the first to rush his anger at him, which one after another, Nie Yong felt that he was completely isolated.

Tongzhi Lord Liang's attitude was very subtle, and he gently pressed his hand and said, "Okay, adults, Lord Nie has Lord Nie's difficulties, so don't target him, okay?"

There are not many good works today, but there are still good works, Chen Gui and Qin Yue have excellent performances! In addition, there are a few talented people, all of whom are good at making them, and now I will give you a simple question.

Let's take 'dragon boat' as the theme, and make a few better songs, and today's dragon boat ranking will be determined by this, okay? ”

Liang Quanyi's statement immediately caused a commotion at the scene, the word "dragon boat" is too simple, and there is no rhyme, this is definitely a masterpiece.

The scene was full of talents, and everyone's minds were immediately devoted to the poems, and the counties and counties suddenly became nervous, and they didn't have any time to target Nie Yong.

Ma Xuewang smiled strangely and said: "Brother Nie, today Lord Liang has relieved you of the siege, you have to be close to Lord Liang when you turn around!" ”

As soon as Nie Yong heard Ma Xuewang's words, he just vomited blood, he was too deceitful, everyone was a county and a county, what qualifications did Ma Xuewang have to be so condescending and domineering?

If you want to talk about talent, Nie Yongke is the top name in the second class, a high talent in the Hanlin Academy, Ma Xuewang has never even seen the face of the emperor, what is it?

If according to Nie Yong's personality a few years ago, he would have to blow up on the spot, but now it is different from before, compared with other counties, Xinhe County is inferior everywhere, and he can't stand up with his waist.

Everyone is sitting here together, Lord Liang seems to be relieving Nie Yong, but he doesn't know what kind of heart is behind it!

"Whew!" Nie Yong let out a long breath, still unable to release the depression in his heart, he stood up slightly, his gaze swept under the high platform.

Under the high platform, many talented people have already begun to fight for literature.

Lord Liang came up with the title of "Dragon Boat", which is simple, and talented and agile talents have begun to board the poetry platform to record poems.

"Okay, Zheng Xianxian's poem is very wonderful, five quatrains, every word, it should be regarded as a masterpiece!" There was cheering from below.

On the high platform, Ma Xuewang immediately approached a few people, including Song Jin.

"Brother Ma, Dujiang County is really a place of outstanding people, as soon as Zheng Xian's poem comes out, I don't think there are many people who can compete!"

"Where, where, everyone is polite, the prophet has been quick to think since he was a child, and he can stand out because the academy has taught Master Zeng well, his hometown is in this county, my heart is very good!"

At this time, another talented man's poems were recited on the poetry platform, which caused a commotion.

Several county dignitaries on the high platform began to greet each other again, and seeing the excitement of their colleagues together, Nie Yong was alone, and he suddenly felt extremely lonely.

The poetry will be very intense, and with more and more good works, the smell of gunpowder among the talents has gradually become stronger.

Looking at the scene carefully, it is not difficult to find that everyone is obviously divided into two factions, one faction is Chen Gui as the core, and the other faction is Qin Yue as the core.

Chen Gui and Qin Yue are the same as the four masters of Zhishui, and after the other two talented high schools raised people to Beijing to prepare for the exam, now Zhishui Academy respects the two of them.

Both of them are extremely talented, and they are both subordinates of Zeng Shanchang, but they are not convinced by each other, no, after Chen Gui made a poem, he won a full house, and immediately pointed the finger at Qin Yue.

Chen Gui is a native of Nanyou County, and Song Jin of Nanyou County has already grinned and blossomed, and someone next to him has already carried a sedan chair and said: "Oh, I can't fight for the first place in this dragon boat, that position is prepared for Lord Song!" ”

"How dare you! Chen Gui can have today, this is all the love of all the adults for him, here I thank you for him! ”

At this time, there was a new situation below, Qin Yue stepped onto the poetry stage to compose a poem, this poem is also a quatrain, and its level is not below Chen Gui.

This time it was lively, and there was a commotion below, and the people on both sides insisted on their own words, and no one wanted to be left behind.

The poems were passed on the high platform, and after all the adults got the poems, it was very difficult to evaluate them, Song Jin was popular, but Qin Yue was from Weiyang County.

Weiyang County Zun Sun is a person in the court, and Weiyang County is at the forefront of all political achievements in the eight counties of Yangzhou, if nothing else, Sun will soon be promoted.

Song Jin can bully Nie Yong, he dares to bully Sun Tongjie and Lord Sun?

This time the problem comes, Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, today Chen Gui and Qin Yue are together, they have to fight for a high level, what should I do?

At this time, at the scene of the poetry meeting, the painting boat was connected to the city, not only the talented people stood in line, but there were so many girls on the painting boat!

Today, three of the four major Oirans came, Du Yueniang, Ding Zi, and Luo Qiaoqiao all came out, and the atmosphere of the Wenhui was rendered to the peak.

The talents are blushing and thick-necked, half of which is because of the fierceness of the poetry meeting, and the other half is also because of the appearance of the Oiran, which stimulates everyone's desire to express themselves.

I only heard the talented man on Qin Yue's side say loudly: "Miss Du, can you say something!" Do you like the poems of Gongzi Qin or the poems of Gongzi Chen? ”

Du Yueniang's face was full of smiles, this woman exuded a kind of wind smell all over her body, she covered her cherry mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "It's a pity, Sister Qilan is not here today, Chen Gongzi, you may be going to lose the wind today!" ”

She pondered a little and said, "Qin Gongzi's poem, the slave family has a feeling, and is willing to play a song on the qin, who wants to come and play with it?" ”

Du Yueniang said this, Qin Yue still didn't understand, and immediately he said loudly: "Miss Du strokes the qin, Qin Yue will come to ...... with poetry."

Literati and scholars, listening to the qin and chanting poems, this is Daya, Du Yueniang is the top girl in Yangzhou Slender West Lake Painting Boat, Qin Yue is the top talent in Yangzhou, the two of them are in the water stopper, Slender West Lake on the piano and poetry, this is simply a match made in heaven, for a while the sound of color is like thunder, Qin Yue seems to be the leader today.
