In fact, the official school did not approve of the scholars frequently holding poetry gatherings, and the elegant collections were more ruthless than the literary battles.

This is true whether it is a government school, a state school, or a county school.

But again, the influence of the late Ming Dynasty official school declined too much, except for the promotion of students and the personnel who reported to participate in the township examination, there was no too important position in the minds of scholars.

Therefore, the scholars held poetry gatherings, and the professors and instructors of the government schools turned a blind eye.

After all, everyone comes from that age, who hasn't been young and frivolous?

Soon, Liu Ru arranged all the necessary matters and went to Wuchang with a group of Jingzhou scholars.

Although Wuchang is the location of the Yamen of the Political Secretary of Huguangbu, it does not have much status in the hearts of Jingzhou scholars.

This is also normal, after all, compared to the context, Wuchang is definitely inferior to Jingzhou.

Looking at the triennial township examination, you can see that the top performers every time are the scholars of Jingzhou Prefecture.

And Wuchang readers can only see a few sporadic on the list.

The scholars of Wuchang Mansion are still very arrogant, and they often show off in the poetry collection, which makes the scholars of Jingzhou Mansion even more unpleasant.

It's not your fault that you don't have the ability, and it's your fault that you don't have the ability to come out and be embarrassed.

Therefore, most of them didn't take this trip to Wuchang seriously, and only felt that it was just another opportunity to teach and humiliate the scholars of Wuchang Mansion.

In the past, the scholars of Wuchang Mansion had no chance of winning, and now it is even more so.

You must know that their Hedong Poetry Society has produced a big Wenkui Ning Xiu.

Most literati are light, and they always think that they are the most powerful. It is not easy to get a group of literati to reach a consensus and admit that a person is a Wenkui.

But Ning Xiu did it, and he relied on a few unbeatable poems to completely conquer the members of the Hedong Poetry Society and conquer the scholars of Jingzhou Mansion.

Along the way, everyone praised each other, talking about the past and the present, but rarely talking about current politics, which is indeed lackluster.

Ning Xiu didn't like this kind of business mutual favor, and only politely responded to the kind of people who wanted to use his fame to make a show, but he didn't have too many deep friendships.

It simply took two days for everyone to arrive in Wuchang, and Ning Xiu didn't have to listen to the noise of these scholars anymore.

It is said that what the reader said was as smelly and long as the old lady's footcloth, and the ancients did not deceive me.

It was not the first time that Ning Xiu of Wuchang City had entered, that time he and Sun Wufan came to Wuchang to investigate the fact that the little uncle was framed, and they also went to Wuchang Bofu. The cities of the Ming Dynasty were basically the same, and Wuchang was no different from Jingzhou, so Ning Xiu plunged into the inn as soon as he entered the city, and did not visit Wuchang City with the scholars of the Hedong Poetry Society.

Ning Xiu waited for them to leave, and then turned out the Zhu Ziji annotation and read it. He carries this book with him, and he reads it twice whenever he has time.

This is just like the later generations of students carrying a small English book to read aloud and cultivate a sense of language. Ning Xiu also did this in order to cultivate familiarity with the Four Books and Zhu Zi's commentaries, so that he could integrate them and respond quickly at critical moments.

Every minute and every second in the exam room is crucial, and the faster you react, the better, leaving enough time to solve the problem and write the essay.

On weekdays, he has to be distracted by many business things, and he has to use his spare time.

"Ning Gongzi, a courtesan who claims to be a ruler has come up and said that it is your old friend. Do you see or don't see? ”

"Ruler?"

Ning Xiu was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize who the inn guy was talking about.

Most of his impression of shakusu came from another courtesan, the purple kite.

This purple kite girl killed the negative man because she was dumped, Ning Xiu's county classmate Han Yun.

At that time, because he was also listed as a key suspect, he lost his personal freedom for a long time, and he did not regain his freedom until the real murderer was found.

Ning Xiu still remembered that Qi Su once wanted to buy poems from him, but Ning Xiu refused at that time, Qi Su's face was very ugly, why did this person come to Wuchang again?

Ning Xiu hesitated for a moment and ordered the inn guy, "Call her in." ”

Ning Xiu didn't like the feeling of being unclear, what did this ruler want to do, he had to figure it out.

The innkeeper answered, and then Ning Xiu heard a sound of light footsteps.

But when he heard a squeak, the door was pushed open, and Qi Su walked in in a fur coat, and said with a smile: "Ning Gongzi hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

Ning Xiu shrugged helplessly and said, "Miss Qisu won't fall in love with me, right?" Redeemed himself, all the way from Jingzhou to Wuchang, just to see me? ”

"Ning Gongzi is really sharp."

Qi Su took a step forward and said with tenderness in his eyes: "The slave family will not redeem themselves in this life, and no man is reliable." ”

"What is that young girl here for?"

"To be an Oiran."

"Become an Oiran?"

Ning Xiu only felt funny: "What does this have to do with coming to Wuchang?" ”

"Of course it does."

Qi Su said lightly: "Although the slave family has debuted for many years, it is only famous in Jingzhou. Most of the scholars in Wuchang Mansion had never heard of me. The slave family has no possibility of winning the championship in Jingzhou, so it is better to come to Wuchang to start a new life. ”

Ning Xiu finally understood, Qi Su would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

"However, as far as I know, courtesans can't be easily transferred."

"The slave family is not an official prostitute, what are you afraid of?"

Qi Su sneered and said, "It just so happened that the proprietor was going to open a branch in Wuchang, so the slave family came to try his luck." ”

Ning Xiu was simply stunned, there was still this kind of operation?

Can Qinglou also open a branch?

"The slave family is gambling this time, and since it is a gamble, there are losses and wins. The slave family hopes to win more, so they hope that Ning Gongzi can help. ”

Qi Su said unhurriedly: "If Ning Gongzi helps out, leaving a good reputation will also help the slave family a lot, and the slave family is willing to serve Gongzi with his body." ”

Ning Xiu waved his hand again and again: "Don't say it, I won't write poems for you." As for the things of service, I will not mention them later. ”

"The slave family is not here to ask for poetry."

Not asking for poetry? So what is she here for?

Ning Xiu didn't think that he had much influence in the Shilin circle, and he could make a courtesan popular with a single sentence.

"The slave slave wants the son to have a poetry with the slave."

Qi Su's words made Ning Xiu even more confused.

In Ning Xiu's impression, Qi Su probably did not belong to the kind of talented courtesan. She was able to get a little fire in large part because of her good looks.

How can such a person be proficient in poetry? Besides, if she was proficient in poetry, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to beg him when she was in Jingzhou before.

Could it be that she spent a lot of money to find a gunman to help her compose the poem?

That shouldn't be. If it is a poem to the word, what is important is an improvisation, how can there be a good reason for the poem to lean on the top.
