Chapter 18: The Moon Commentary

Yuedan Commentary, this is when there was no imperial examination system in those years, if young talents want to enter the office, they have to rely on the recommendation of respected people at that time, comment on articles, because the time is set on the first day of the first month of each month, so it is called Yuedan Commentary.

After the imperial examination, the custom of Yuedan Commentary was still retained, and it was set on the first day of the first month of each change of season, which changed from the beginning of the commentary article to a place for chanting poems and paintings, gathering local magnates, and gathering people to pretend to be coerced.

When Zhou Ruocheng was a child, he could still see the Yuedan Review in Jingzhou, and he went to watch it with his father, most of the time he watched a person who looked very talented writing on it, and then lit up the written words in front of everyone, and a group of people clapped their hands and said yes!

But later, because the Yuedan Commentary was found out by others and what happened to the mountain, it was seized by the imperial court, and Jingzhou did not have the activity of the Yuedan Commentary.

As soon as I heard Jiangzhou and Yuedan comments, how could Zhou Ruocheng, a person who likes to play, miss it? Hurry up and ask Lao Wei to take him to have a look.

Zhou Ruocheng invited Tang Yunlin to come over at the beginning, but Tang Yunlin gave Zhou Ruocheng a blank look and said that he wanted to greet the new maid and refused.

Zhou Ruocheng only called Cai Wei together.

"Zhang Qing, what do you say, or I'll help you call a car again?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"No need, young master, we martial arts practitioners will be laughed at when we ride in the car." As he spoke, he jumped onto the wall.

"Ahh Then you beware. ”

Then Zhou Ruocheng took Cai Wei "Old Wei, take us to Yuedan to have fun!" ”

"Okay! Sit tight, young master! Lao Wei was naturally full of energy on the first day of work, and ran to the activity location of Zhou Ruocheng and the two of them to Yuedan Review.

The venue of the Yuedan Review is by the Hangshui River, and there is still a little distance from Jiangzhou Mansion to the Hangshui River, and the difference between rickshaws and cars is shown at this time.

Watching the cars pass by one after another, Zhou Ruocheng was also a little impatient.

"Eh, it seems that having a car is quite necessary." Zhou Ruocheng muttered.

"Young master, are you bored?" Cai Wei, who was sitting on the side, asked, she rarely comes out to play, and this time the nature is naturally good.

"Well, sort of." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"The young master is going to see the poetry competition, or Cai Wei will give you a paragraph, right?" Cai Wei said.

"Oh? Can Cai Wei also recite poetry? Zhou Ruocheng was interested.

"Not only is this poem easy to learn, but it also has movement in hand." Cai Wei smiled, grabbed Zhou Ruocheng's hand and put it on his head, young master, listen. "Touch it~ Touch it~ The top of the young lady's head~ A green silk is dyed like ink, like a dark cloud covering the sky."

"Cai Wei, this is not a poem, this should be called a word." Zhou Ruocheng said.

Cai Wei didn't reply, and put Zhou Ruocheng's hand on her eyebrows, "Second touch~ touch~ The eyebrows of the young lady." The second eyebrow is bent and bent, as if the moon is less than half of it~"

Zhou Ruocheng was a little puzzled, where did he feel that he had heard this minor tune again?

Then the hand gradually began to go down, and the more Zhou Ruocheng listened, the more wrong it became.

When he touched it on the tenth day, he simply touched Cai Wei's buttocks, Zhou Ruocheng reacted, this is the fucking little yellow song! No matter how much Little Yellow Song will be mentioned in many works, I won't explain much, I understand everything I understand.

"Cai Wei! Don't drive! Don't drive! I can't keep up with nutrition! Zhou Ruocheng's face turned red.

"What? Master? Don't drive? Old Wei turned around.

"Old Wei, don't look back! Drive safely! ”

"Oh!" Lao Wei continued to bury his head in pulling the cart.

"Cai Wei! This 'poem' is not allowed to be read in the future! Zhou Ruocheng asked with a red face.

"But the guests I met before liked it." Cai Wei said.

"Those guests don't like poetry!" Zhou Ruocheng couldn't cry or laugh, people like you. "Anyway, don't read this poem anymore, okay?" Zhou Ruocheng said seriously.

"Well, whatever the young master says is what it is." Cai Wei nodded.

Zhou Ruocheng turned his back, touched Cai Wei's palm and pinched it against the air, well, after so long of cultivation, Cai Wei has gained a lot of weight, at least there is meat on her buttocks...

Hey! What are you thinking? Zhou Ruocheng hurriedly shook his head and threw out all the unclean desires in his brain.

At this time, Zhou Ruocheng drove a car beside him, and a familiar face in the rear window was now looking at him with disgust. I'm afraid that she saw the "interaction" with Cai Wei just now.

Zhao Qingyuan, is this little girl also coming to participate in the Yuedan Review?

However, the car had already driven over, and Zhou Ruocheng didn't have time to ask.

"Old Wei, can you be faster?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"Okay young master, I'll run a little faster, it might be a little bumpy."

。。。。。。。

After crossing an intersection, the car gradually hidden, there were many vendors and tourists on both sides, and there were many guys dressed as scholars, holding folding fans in their hands, posing like a lupine scarf.

"Young master, that's all I can do here." Lao Wei stopped in a place full of coachmen, "Don't let you go inside, and don't let the car go in." ”

"Oh, that's all there for." The people around consciously got out of the car and walked in, and not far away, you could already see the high platform of the Yuedan review, "Lao Wei, find a cool place to stay, Qiu Laohu, don't get sunburned." ”

"Young Master Xie, I'll wait under that big locust tree." Lao Wei said.

Zhou Ruocheng took Cai Wei and walked inside.

There were all kinds of people on the road, some came to see the excitement, some came to the poetry meeting with their own articles, and some scholars dressed up to buy dog skin plasters.

"Young master, are all these people here to participate in the poetry meeting?" Cai Wei asked.

"Some of them are, but most of them are just like us." Zhou Ruocheng said.

"Isn't the young master going to the poetry meeting?"

"Isn't it bullying people when I go up?" Zhou Ruocheng smiled, commenting on the poems is okay, he is not interested in poetry at all, in ancient times, due to the restrictions of grammar, the ancients expressed their emotions mostly for poetry, and due to the implementation of the vernacular, the current poems have become a little tasteless, the precipitation of poetry is gradually formed by the accumulation of years, but now many young people have written such tragic poems in order to emulate the ancients.

Zhou Ruocheng just wants to ask, how many years have you lived? How did you experience so many deeds? I'm afraid you've been suffering since your mother's womb, aren't you?

"This son, are you here to see the poetry meeting?" A man in front of him stopped Zhou Ruocheng.

"Hmm." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"If Childe is willing, I have a position in the front row here, are you two interested?" The man rubbed his hands, he had heard of the inverted tickets, but he didn't expect that there were even inverted positions.

"How much?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"Two hundred votes per person, no bargaining." The man said.

"Give me two seats." Zhou Ruocheng took out the money from his pocket.

"Young master, you can just go and see it yourself, I can't understand it, just wait for the young master here." Cai Wei hurriedly said.

"What are these words? I can't afford to spend money to take you out to play? Zhou Ruocheng grabbed Cai Wei's hand, "Let's go, I'll tinker with you later, whether it's the poems of those guys on the stage that are good, or the words you read to me are good." ”

The man took the two of them interspersed in the middle of the crowd, and after a while, they arrived at the front of the position, the man said a few words to the person standing here, and they got out of the way.

Zhou Ruocheng looked on the stage, there were now three people in the seats of several judges, one was the Yang prefect he was familiar with, and the other two, a guy who was a little fatter than Yang prefect should be Wang Min of Jiangshao prefect, and there was a white beard Xu Xingwei of Jianghua prefect, and then there was a row of seats on both sides, and the people sitting should be local magnates.

When Zhou Ruocheng came, the Yuedan review had already started for a long time, and the host who was originally standing on the stage had already finished commenting on a batch, and now he went down to rest, and there were still a group of bachelors in the audience holding their own articles and poetry collections waiting for comments.

Zhou Ruocheng squinted his eyes and saw that Zhao Qingyuan was also in this group of people, holding a vertical scroll in his hand and muttering something.

"Why don't you study at home and make a name for yourself, and go to this kind of place to pretend to be a bachelor?" Zhou Ruocheng muttered.

"What did you say, young master?" Cai Wei asked.

"Nothing."

At this time, a person came to the stage, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, our second phase of the poetry will start soon, we will go over the rules again, two people on stage at a time, read their own articles and poems in turn, by our host to comment first, and then by our adults to comment, and finally draw the merits, the winner's article will be left on the stage, and finally the article will be selected again, and finally the top three of our poetry competition will be awarded, and the prefect will be awarded. ”

The prefects are handling this activity, so why didn't anyone invite me to participate? Am I in a lower position than theirs? Zhou Ruocheng pondered in his heart.

"Then now we have our host, our first talent in Jiangzhou! Lu Yueting's son came to power! ”

Suddenly, a group of girls in the audience screamed: "Master Lu, I love you!" The words "look at this side in the court" are endless.

On the stage, a guy in a white shirt came to the stage, dignified, very majestic, the first thing he did on the stage was to salute the audience, and it was the screams of a thin group of girls.

Then saluted a few prefects, and finally, opened the fan with a "snap" and said, "Everyone! Here we go. ”

It was another group of screams like crazy with lost hearts, and the one taught by a sister next to Zhou Ruocheng was heartbreaking.

"I'm going to get that guy back... Zhou Ruocheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Players are invited to the stage."

Offstage, two people came to the stage with their own articles.

The person on the left began to read the article aloud first, and the big screen above gradually made his article into subtitles and displayed it to everyone.

Lu Yueting sat in the middle, listening slowly with his eyes closed.

When both of them finished reading the article, there was a faint burst of applause from the audience.

In Zhou Ruocheng's view, the first person to talk about a travelogue, about his feelings after going to Mount Tai to play, although plain but from the heart, but also talked about his inner revenge, but the writing does need to be improved. The second person, at first glance, has been polished, the writing is gorgeous, the typography is rigorous, not like this fifteen or sixteen-year-old child can write, and there is a big praise for the adults present, an article is thirty percent of the praise of the adults, it is simply a sycophant.

Lu Yueting closed the fan and began to comment, "The travelogue written by Your Excellency, although the emotion comes from the heart, but the worship of Mount Tai is still remarkable, if you only have these opinions on Mount Tai, then your revenge is only such a height, the article has to be revised, I hope you will work hard next time." ”

This comment is quite pertinent, but I am afraid that I am going to mock him well, Zhou Ruocheng thought to himself.

"And then this second place ... What kind of bullshit article are you writing? ”

Zhou Ruocheng was stunned for a moment, I rely on you, how can I say that this is also a praise to the prefect here, you just want to criticize and save a little face, okay?

"The text is flashy, the article is taken out of context, and when an article comes down, at least three or four percent are talking nonsense that doesn't matter, this kind of article, what are you doing when you hand it over to the Yuedan Commentary?!" Lu Yueting pointed at the other party with a fan and asked loudly.

"That's it!" "What are you doing up here?!" "What a shame on this stage!" A group of girls in the audience met.

Zhou Ruocheng looked at this group of girls with a disgusted face, you know a yarn...

In the end, the travelogue that was not favored by people was sent to the stage, and Lu Yueting turned around and saluted several prefects, "The student looked a little excited just now, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

Several prefects waved their hands, "Lu Caizi is brilliant in writing and has a lot of respect for literature, and it is natural that such an unbearable article is in his ears, and he is a little angry." Wang Zhifu said.

"Come on, come on, keep going." Governor Yang waved his hand.

The next few groups came up, although the articles were not of the highest quality, but they were all among the best, Lu Yueting gave a very pertinent evaluation, pointed out the shortcomings in the article, and finally made a trade-off among the shortcomings, and finally came up with the most acceptable article.

This road boy has something, huh? Zhou Ruocheng muttered in his heart.

"The last group, Luo Ning, the queen of Jiangshao's prefect, and Zhao Qingyuan, the daughter of Jianghang Zhao~"

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Ruocheng became interested.

On the stage, the two girls came to the stage slowly, the girl who walked in front walked down and generous, and they all exuded a different temperament between their gestures, in the end, they were the daughter of the prefect, and their appearance was also good, and when they came on stage, they also caused the audience to scream again and again.

Lu Yueting saw Wang Luoning saluting each other, and the audience applauded thunderously.

And Zhao Qingyuan looked a little nervous when she came to the stage, but she tried her best to restrain herself, keep up with the pace, and stand opposite Wang Luoning.

"So, let's start reading your own article."
