To Zhu Cirui's disappointment, Zheng Yu was always in a state of idleness, after Pang Shiyuan's poem was read and he gave his own evaluation, he exchanged a few words with the abrupt next to him, during which his face changed a little, and he was thoughtful for a while. Zhu Cirui thought that he was going to make a move, and looked forward to it for a while, but then found that he returned to his previous state of idleness after being in a daze. This made Zhu Cirui both helpless and disappointed, and Zheng Yu did not say anything until the link of thanking the sponsor Jia.

Zhu Cirui suddenly felt that she was funny, and she actually had the hope of surpassing the first genius of Jingshi for the son of an ordinary businessman. Maybe she misunderstood, this person should just be a nouveau riche from a poor country, as for Tang Tu, she knows a lot, that is, an easy-going person, and any kind of person can make friends. It is normal to have a good attitude towards Zheng Yu. It seems that I am really thinking too much

The link of thanking businessmen is actually very simple, that is, someone on the side is called by whom, who is who, what is sponsored, and how much is the number. The eldest princess then gave her a glass of wine as a token of appreciation. The key lies in the eldest princess's wine. That's the sister of the emperor's mother's compatriots. The age difference between the two is only one year, and they have been close since childhood, and after Zhu Zuochang ascended the throne as emperor, Zhu Cirui still lived in the palace because Zhu Cirui was not married. Therefore, the sister and brother will often get together to eat, eat, and chat. If the eldest princess can be remembered and mentioned in the emperor's ear, it will be a straight to heaven, and the future is bright!!

During the roll call, Zheng Yucai was surprised to find that the exclusive position of his sponsor Jia was basically empty not because he didn't come, but because each family gave the opportunity to the children and nephews who were studying. These people basically have a reputation for showing off their talents, and even if they don't, they claim to be scholars, how can they bother to sit in the place reserved for Shang Jia, and they all sit in other places in the hall. Therefore, every time the roll call comes forward to accept the wine, a student will come out from a different position, and he will also run to the stage to pay homage to the eldest princess, and then the eldest princess will say thank you mechanically, and the maid will bring a glass of wine to the kneeling student, and the student will shout "Thank you for the wine", and then take a drink, put down the cup and stand up and return to her seat.

The order of the roll call should be arranged from the largest to the smallest according to the amount of sponsorship, because the first one to be called is Tang Tu, and this place for the poetry meeting is provided by the Tang family for free. Tang Tu is also an acquaintance with the eldest princess because he has a second uncle who is a secretary of the military department, and there is nothing to be excited about when he accepts the wine, just follow the procedure. The difference is that his wine was not brought by the maid, but brought to the front by the eldest princess herself, and this difference envied all the students present except Xu Jiujue. The second is Xu Jiujue, who should spend the cost of the Wei State Mansion for the performance. The treatment was the same as Tang Tu, and the eldest princess also said a few more words to greet Wei Guogong. This other people can't envy if they want to, they are little grandfathers! The third is the Liu family, and it is Liu Shijie who went up, sponsoring 1,000 taels of silver, which was added by Liu Yun after knowing the importance of this poetry meeting. Liu Shijie did not have any special treatment, and everything was done according to the process. The rest of the rest are probably like this.

Zheng Yu was the last, and when he reported that he was sponsoring one hundred taels of silver, it also caused the audience to burst into laughter, you know, the penultimate one went up and sponsored five hundred taels, a difference of five times. Zheng Yu himself blushed a little, thinking that Liu Manwen deliberately made himself ugly? In fact, he really misunderstood, Liu Manwen didn't want him to come at all, let alone expect this scene to happen. Zheng Ying is nothing, just a little angry, others laugh at her brother. Tang Tu was also a little surprised, but he didn't mean to laugh, and he didn't ask anything.

Donating more and donating less is a heart, and at that time, I was looking at Liu Yun's face, not for this broken poetry meeting. Anyway, it's coming, it doesn't matter, it's not all the way with these people, so why care. Zheng Yu comforted himself and strode forward. When he came to the stage, he faced the eldest princess, leaned over ninety degrees with his hands in fists, and made a long bow. Then keep moving and wait for the maid who served the wine.

Everyone present was stunned, is this thing stupid? Don't kneel?? At this time, I heard a broken shout: "Bold madman, the eldest princess didn't kneel in front of you?" What a crime! The voice came from Xu Jiujue. Liu Shijie's heart blossomed at this time, but he didn't expect this thorn in his eye to come to the scene of the poetry meeting, and he was ridiculed. I didn't expect this soil bun to kneel in front of the eldest princess, now it's okay, if you don't die, you have to let him shed his skin.

When Liu Manwen heard the audience laughing at Zheng Yu, he "chuckled" in his heart. Heartway, it's broken! I didn't take this stubble into account, and if Zheng Yu's dog temper blew up in front of the eldest princess, this is a major matter related to life.

Without waiting for Zheng Yu to react, Liu Manwen stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Zhu Cirui, and said eagerly: "The eldest princess is angry, this person is the nephew of her father, a village husband, and was taken by her father to Beijing to make a living because of family changes. When I first came to Beijing, I didn't understand the rules, and I forgot that the eldest princess forgave her disrespectful sin, which was really not disrespectful, but I didn't know." After Liu Manwen finished speaking, Liu Shijie frowned, Xu Jiujue's face darkened, and his mouth opened suddenly. Zhu Cirui suddenly realized, so it was. I really misunderstood before. This is really a country man, and all the previous things are caused by ignorance of the rules and lack of knowledge. It's ridiculous that I still take him seriously and have such high expectations. Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Miss Liu, please get up quickly, those who don't know are not guilty, and this palace will not blame him." Liu Manwen breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Thank you for the grace of the princess", then stood up, stood aside, and pulled Zheng Yu away after the wine was given.

Zheng Yu saw that the first person to come out to speak for herself was actually Liu Manwen, and Xindao misunderstood her just now, this girl has a good heart in addition to being a little willful. At the same time, it's a little annoying to this Xu Jiujue, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, and the eldest princess didn't say anything, what are you chirping crookedly? So without waiting for others to speak, Zheng Yu got up and said, "Thank you, Yimei, for stepping up and breaking the siege." Then he said to Xu Jiujue: "May I ask where this son is bold?" When the eldest princess came in, she had already said that today is a poem to meet friends, and everyone does not have to pay a big salute. So even though this prostration, it is not as good as bowing, but it can also be called a great prostration, so what's wrong? ”

Liu Manwen's heart that he had just put back in his stomach rose to his throat again, and he thought fiercely: "Is this Zheng Yu dead?" What is Xu Jiujue doing when he has nothing to do? Xu Jiujue originally had intentions for himself, and he interceded for Zheng Yu just now, and with Xu Jiujue's character of revenge, he must have a grudge against Zheng Yu. Now Zheng Yu also took the initiative to order this artillery battle. Even if you don't know that Xu Jiujue has an intention for herself, isn't it better to have more than one thing, the eldest princess has spoken, don't you drink and leave, isn't there nothing to do, what kind of wind is this now, and you are about to be angry to death. ”

Zhu Cirui became curious again, what is the situation with this person? ? These words don't seem like the words of a country wild man who doesn't rhyme with the world! It's so incomprehensible, let's take a look at it first.

Tang Tu also rushed over at this time, this Brother Zheng is too upright, he must do something, otherwise he will be in a big disaster today. Zheng Ying was also about to come over, but was stopped by Tang Tu. Tang suddenly walked over and stopped in front of Zheng Yu, first made a gesture to Zhu Cirui, and then made a gesture to Xu Jiujue, and said: "Little Master Xu, this friend has an upright personality, is straightforward, doesn't know the rules, and doesn't have any malicious intentions. ”

Zheng Yu was very surprised that this abrupt would actually stand up for himself, and he was so direct with the little grandfather. This person can be delivered. So he said: "Thank you Brother Tang for your kindness, I didn't say anything disrespectful, and I didn't have any malicious intentions, I just wanted to ask this little grandfather Xu what he did wrong, so that he roared indiscriminately." And if I'm not mistaken, it was the little grandfather who laughed the loudest at the roll call just now. The friendship of sponsorship, according to ability, can be done as you like. At that time, there were only less than three hundred taels of idle silver on his body, and it was the limit to read the love with his uncle and sponsor one hundred taels for his sister-in-law. Why is it so shameful here?? Everyone present is also a Confucian disciple who claims benevolence, wisdom, propriety, righteousness, and faith, doesn't this move feel insulting? ? ”

Liu Manwen's heart sank, it's over, Zheng Yu, this dead thing, now the gods can't save you. Tang suddenly wanted to put his second uncle out to prevent the disaster for Zheng Yu.

After listening to Zheng Yu's words, Xu Jiujue trembled with anger, and said viciously: "What the eldest princess said about not having to pay a big salute is for the talented people present. You are a rural horseman, a small businessman in the poor countryside, and you are also worthy of being called a genius?? It's really ridiculous, if you are not a talent, you are not among the people who are exempt from kneeling, the eldest princess is in front of you, and if you don't kneel, it is disrespectful, and you should be beheaded according to the law! ”

Zheng Yu sneered and continued: "Then I have to ask this little grandfather Xu?" How can you be considered a talented person in the mouth of the eldest princess? There were many people who had not achieved fame like me, and they were all reading the books of the sages. Aren't they geniuses? Or can only the rotten Confucians who have made some sour poems and won a little fame can be called talents? Zheng Yu was really angry, and he drank too much wine at this time, and he began to say nothing, and even the other people present, especially the group of students who made poems, were also scolded when these words came out.

Most of the students present also had fierce eyes, Liu Manwen and Tang Tu looked at Zheng Yu helplessly as if they were looking at a corpse, Xu Jiujue was already out of anger and shouted.

"You arrogant horseman, good! Then I'll give you a chance, as long as you make a poem that fits the theme during the tea time, you don't need to be amazing, then the young master will let you go, but you have to get through the crotch of every student present. The poems made are evaluated by everyone to see if they have passed. If you can't do it, then I will give up this fame and I will definitely Qi Your Majesty to cure you for a great crime of disrespect and behead you and abandon the city! . ”

Zhu Cirui also felt that although Zheng Yu was a little drunk at this time, his words were too arrogant, and he didn't even take all the students present in his eyes, which really had to be properly educated, so he didn't say anything after listening to Xu Jiujue's words.

Many students also echoed Xu Jiujue. Pang Shiyuan sneered even more, and said to Zheng Yu, "Ignorant child! ”

When Zheng Yu heard this, he glared at Pang Shiyuan, and then said: "Little Grandpa Xu, if I write this poem, you have to kneel down and apologize to me, can you?" ”

Xu Jiujue said: "As you wish!" ”
