Since a few people ascended to the Tengwang Pavilion, they naturally wanted to learn from the poetry of the literati and scholars, and a few people searched their intestines and scraped their stomachs, and the poems they made were unsatisfactory.

Fang Zhongyong has a lot of poems about Teng Wangge to copy, but no one is forcing him to write a famous poem that rhymes with ruts, and he is too lazy to be a "Fang Zheng copy".

Seeing that Zeng Gong was a little embarrassed, he said with relief: "The son is fixed." At this time, I am not taking the exam, and I am waiting to climb to the heights, just to relax my chest and feel the meditation of the ancients. To meditate and come up with a poem comparable to that of the predecessors is really putting the cart before the horse. ”

Zeng Ye also smiled: "I said a long time ago that poetry should be inspired by feelings. The three of us brothers are fortunate to come here for a visit, and recite two sentences: 'Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky' or 'Today's Tengwang Pavilion, see the Luoxia clearly'. You see, isn't the sunset in the West Mountain a confirmation of the beauty of the poetry of the predecessors? ”

Zeng Gong said helplessly: "It's really the so-called 'there is a scene in front of you, and Cui Hao's inscription poem is above'!" Several people looked at each other and laughed.

While talking and laughing, I suddenly heard someone say: "Brother Shumao is really high!" Could it be that I haven't read books recently and found a good reason? "Who is this? I listened to the tone very familiarly. When I looked up, I saw a group of people coming in groups.

Zeng Ye scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Yan Demao, as mean as ever." There are two virtuous brothers here today, and I don't know how to save some face for my brother. It's really time to fight! After introducing Zeng Gong and Fang Zhongyong to those people, they introduced those people and so on.

Yan Shu's eldest son, Juhou: the word Demao, nineteen years old, is an official Dali commentator.

The second son Chengyu: Zhongrong, fourteen years old, should show his talents.

The whole section of the three sons: the word Jiefu. At the age of eleven, he succeeded his third uncle Yan Ying. (Yan Jidao has not yet been born.) ）

There was another woman, the second daughter of Yan Shu, who was beautiful and about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The woman was also generous, and said to herself: "The little woman Rongyue has seen a few world brothers. Zeng Ye smiled: "I haven't seen her for a few years, and the sister of Rongyue is getting more and more beautiful." Fang Zhongyong was stunned when he heard the cold voice, isn't this Miss Yanfu in the carriage? It's so bad that you make a fool of yourself, and you don't look like that! In addition to being a little hotter, his skin is a little whiter, his face is a little more exquisite, and his family background is a little more powerful. The others are very ordinary, isn't it just a white rich beauty!

Thinking of Bai Fumei, who killed him in his previous life, Fang Zhongyong fell into deep hatred and shame. I hated the ruthlessness of the rich lady, and I was ashamed of my superficiality of looking only at appearances and ignoring my conduct.

Zeng Ye smashed Zhong Yong below: "What is the hair?" The sister of the Yan family greets you, and she still doesn't return the gift. Fang Zhongyong arched his hand and said, "Below Zhongyong, I have seen Miss Yanfu." People in the countryside don't know how to count etiquette, and I hope Miss Yan will forgive me. Yan Rongyue said: "A few days ago, just because the little woman was sick, she didn't get out of the car to see the salute, and she looked at Fang Gongzi Haihan. ”

Yan Ju Houqi said: "Second sister has seen Wenyuan? Yan Rongyue said that Fang Zhongyong recited "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun", and even the appearance of the little maid and cat slave was imitated vividly. A few people tasted it and felt that the sentence was so wonderful that they couldn't write it anyway. As for the evaluation of the little maid and cat slave, of course everyone laughed.

Since Fang Zhongyong was "squeezed", he also wanted to fight back slightly: "Miss Yan's name is the dissolution of dissolution, the moon of the moon?" Yan Juhou smiled and said: "Why can't it be the moon of 'flower and moon'?" ”

Fang Zhongyong said: "Yan Shen Governor's 'pear blossom courtyard dissolves the moon, and the catkins pond has a faint breeze. I've read it below. With Lord Yan's high talent, I am afraid that he will not use the well-known idiom. It must be to find another way, take the moonlight like water, and dissolve into the depths of people's souls to make it appear timeless and fresh, not out of the ordinary. Presumably, Lord Yan must be very fond of the young lady, so he chose such an elegant name. It's really full of affection to lick the calf! ”

Yan Juhou laughed: "Wen Yuan's words really speak to the hearts of the people. Since my eldest sister married Fubi Fuyanguo, my father and mother have missed me very much. Although they are all officials in Bianliang, their mother feels that Yanguo's fame is too heavy, so she often complains that she married her eldest sister to 'Lu Worm'. When I have a second sister, I am naturally afraid of flying in the palm of my hand, and I am afraid of melting in my mouth. My father is also very arrogant, and I, the eldest brother, have to give her three points. ”

Yan Rongyue was not happy, and said coquettishly: "Big brother, how can people be as unbearable as you say?" ”

It turns out that if Fang Zhongyong was in the war years, he must have been captured by the beauty scheme, Yan Rongyue didn't discharge him at all, he was already confused. completely forgot the survival rule of the short, poor and ugly: stay away from the white rich and beautiful, stay away from the rich and handsome. Could it be that Fang Zhongyong's self-confidence has swelled, and he feels that he is already rich and handsome? It is true that Fang Zhongyong at this time is six feet tall (about 180 cm), has a small asset (all the net worth is 300 yuan, all on his body), and his appearance is quite handsome (he thinks), and he seems to have the qualifications to talk about feelings with Bai Fumei. But what he doesn't know is that the ancients were actually very indifferent to fame and fortune, and they also paid great attention to inner beauty, as long as you have an official position or your Lao Tzu has an official position - the elegant name is "family history", that is, the so-called family pair.

To say that this is the right thing is actually very reasonable.

First of all, everyone's aesthetic is different. In Jia Baoyu's eyes, Sister Lin, who is a peerless beauty, is only afraid that she is just a pretentious sick man in Li Kui's eyes. You like Kansai Han's roaring Qin dialect, and she loves to listen to blues and blues. You love pancake rolls with green onions, and she wants to drink cappuccinos. Such two people will never be able to get by, the so-called "incompatible personalities".

If you can eat flatbread, she can drink coffee, and you can play their own games, the difference in values is an irreconcilable contradiction. Take the simplest chestnut. You think it's enough to eat and drink, and she thinks that you have to be in the picture to reflect the value. Different goals in life will inevitably lead to two people who have been together because of a momentary physiological impulse to part ways. Therefore, the princess must be a prince, and at worst a knight.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world (as if this sentence is a bit absolute). We have heard a lot of stories about talented and beautiful women, and in reality, there are indeed chestnuts from poor families who marry noble girls or even imperial daughters, such as Yan Rongyue's father Yan Shu. So how cold is the door of Yan Shu's house?

Yan Gu, Yan Shu's father, was an ordinary official in the Song Dynasty, according to the "Words and Deeds of Famous Ministers of the Five Dynasties", "Ben Fuzhou (now Fuzhou City, Jiangxi) hand power section level", engaged in clerical work. Since Yan Shu's ancestor Yan Yong won the middle jinshi, the next three generations are not visible. But there is a public meal to eat, and the ancestors were once wide.

As for Yan Shu, he was smart and studious since he was a child, and he was able to create at the age of five and was known as a "prodigy". In the first year of Jingde (1004), Jiangnan pressed Zhang Zhibai to hear about this incident and recommended him as a prodigy. The following year, the fourteen-year-old Yan Shu and thousands of candidates from all over the country entered the temple at the same time to take the examination, and was given the birth of a jinshi, and was appointed as the secretary of the provincial orthography, and was in charge of correcting books with the school secretary.

It seems that the official position is not obvious, but please note that he is only fourteen, and he is still a child! So, Lord Li Xu, who was the waiter of the Ministry of Industry at the time, had a discerning eye for talent and married his daughter to Yan Shu. Shilin said that Lord Li Xu didn't care about the lintel, and it was a beautiful talk for a while. It is estimated that Mr. Li's heart is like this: What do you know, this is an investment potential stock. Facts have proved that Li Xu's investment vision is leveraged, and Yan Shu has been rich and prosperous all his life since then. Occasional attacks by political opponents were also resolved by his protégés Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Fu Bi (and son-in-law).

Compared with Yan Shu, Fang Zhong Yongzu was a poor peasant for eight generations, and the biggest official in the clan was the village chief. Although he was also known as a "child prodigy" at the age of five (what a coincidence!). But when I was fourteen years old, the biggest official I knew was Jinxi Zhixian, and it was useless. I want to find a person at the level of Zhang Zhibai to recommend myself to participate in the palace examination directly, and there is not even a window, let alone a door. So much so that everyone is fourteen years old, and they have already received "five insurances and one housing fund, full medical insurance", and Fang Zhongyong is just a "child" who is not a fart.

If all goes well, Fang Zhongyong will also have a chance to blend into the system at the age of fifteen. But there is another huge obstacle ahead, and that is Yang Cha.

Who is Yang Cha? Yan Shu's second son-in-law recorded in the history books, the first year of Jing You's list, and the role of "History of the Song Dynasty" alone. The official to the imperial history of Zhongcheng is a big troll who is responsible for spraying people, "there is no way to avoid things", and "he also complains about Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong with words". Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong was sprayed by him and couldn't do anything, so he found a reason to stop Xinzhou. Within a few years, they came back to Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion and took charge of the three envoys.

To compete for a seat and a sister with such a warrior with explosive combat effectiveness and excellent genes (his younger brother Yang Ning is the winner of the second year of Qingli, and his person is "beautiful demeanor") is simply a hellish task. It's difficult, let's admit it, so whoever says it well, people are bi.

But the problem is that Yang Cha's father died early, and he could only speak when he was seven years old, and he was raised by his mother, who was quite literate and hyphenated. Isn't it inappropriate for us to bully other orphans and widows?

Suddenly, a voice from a river crab appeared: "Wenyuan, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable? Why do you just frown, Brother Demao is about to say goodbye! ”

The future eldest brother can't be offended, Fang Zhongyong hurriedly came back to his senses and said: "The junior brother has been running all the way, and his spirit is not good, and he has disturbed everyone's Yaxing, I'm really sorry." It's better to let the younger brother do the east the day after tomorrow to make up for today's regrets. Brother Demao, Kunzhong, must appreciate the light! I just don't know which hotel in Hongzhou is better? ”

Yan Juhou is also a veteran of the "alcohol battlefield", and when he talks about the restaurant, he said: "If you want to talk about drinking in Hongzhou, of course it is Shuangquan Zhengdian." The Shuangquan wine sold by his family has a soft taste and a sweet fragrance, but the stamina is a bit big, and the idlers can't afford it. Go to Linjiang Building for dinner, the taste is a must. As for the Hook Fence Washer, we'll just talk about it later. I don't know what kind of place the virtuous brother likes? ”

Fang Zhongyong pondered for a while, the first "date" couldn't be shabby: "Little brother is not afraid of strong wine, let's go to Shuangquan Zhengdian!" ”

That night, Fang Zhongyong had a strange dream. In the dream, he was first a high school champion, and then a flower candle in the cave room. It's just that there are two brides in the cave room, one is Yan Rongyue, and the other is Wang Lingwei.

What's going on? Which one should you choose?

He hoped that he would have the atmosphere of a local tyrant in later generations, and waved his hand and said: "Only children do multiple-choice questions?" Both! ”
