is still the last Zhike, Shen Xi still clearly remembers that due to his lack of "door respect", Zhike shook his face on the spot and arranged for himself to go to the "second six seats".

Shen Xi thought that he would be given a cold reception again this time, but he didn't expect the acquaintance to salute respectfully: "Isn't this Shen Xiu?" Welcome welcome, inside please. ”

With thoughtful etiquette and a kind smile on his face, Shen Xi was surprised for a while, this acquaintance has changed his personality today?

Not only was he courteously treated when he entered the door, but even a high-ranking steward at the concierge personally led the way, and only when Shen Xi arrived at the table did he respectfully say goodbye and leave.

Shen Xi was puzzled, Zhu Xizhou and Wang Zan came together, and they didn't have such treatment as Shen Xi.

"When I was just the champion of junior high school, I came to Shouning Hou's Mansion once, and my memory is still fresh. I didn't expect that it has only been three years, and this courtyard has expanded a lot, which is really a wealthy mansion. ”

Zhu Xizhou looked around with a little emotion.

According to the "Da Ming Law", officials can live in as many yards as they want, but Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, does not have so many scruples, as long as he wants to expand the yard, who in the surrounding neighborhoods dares not to let the land? But no matter how people say it, he is also a marquis, and if he really wants to expand the courtyard, he has to go to the emperor to sue the emperor for the big and small problems, which is purely to find himself unhappy.

Like the last banquet, the officials who came to the banquet were mainly middle- and lower-level officials in the capital, and they had to avoid attending this kind of occasion at the level of the six servants. This time, Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not come to the banquet, and Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, came out to welcome the guests in person, but he obviously came out late, and most of the guests had already arrived when he appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Hou has not had time to meet him, so he is here to confess his guilt first. After the feast is opened, he shall be punished with three cups. ”

Shouning Hou Zhang Heling seemed to be in good spirits, he was only twenty-five years old now, and he belonged to the handsome type among young men. Of course, this can only be said that the genetics of the Zhang family are good, and the men are handsome and the women are pretty, otherwise Empress Zhang would not have been elected as the queen, and she can always be favored, so that Emperor Hongzhi has not even had a little scandal over the years.

The officials hurriedly returned the salute.

Zhang Heling greeted the guests from table to table, but he seemed to attach great importance to the people of the Hanlin Academy, and even an unknown Hanlin review like Wang Jiusi also got his greetings, and when asked about Shen Xi, Shen Xi reported his name, Zhang Heling looked at it with a smile, as if he wanted to see Shen Xi inside and out.

Zhu Xizhou helped on the side: "Master Hou may not know, Shen Xiuzhu is not only the champion of today's department, but also the youngest champion since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the first person who has even won the three yuan, and he will definitely leave a name in history in the future and be praised through the ages." ”

Zhang Heling praised with a smile: "Shen Xiu is really a young talent, and the Ming Dynasty will rely on the support of a handsome man like Shen Zhuangyuan......

Shen Xi hurriedly saluted: "Don't dare to be." ”

Zhang Heling laughed and gave each of them a gift on the spot...... The things were packed in palm-sized square flat wooden boxes, each of which was similar in size and weight.

Depending on the situation, the gifts are only available to the people of the Hanlin Academy, which makes the eyes of the surrounding onlookers hot.

Zhang Heling made a special note that he wanted Zhonghanlin to open it after he went home.

Zhang Heling gave the gift very freely, and did not avoid suspicion at all, and waited for Hanlin to take the gift and put it away carefully, and then continued: "The people of Hanyuan, self-cultivation and purity, there will be no shortage of people among you in the future. ”

Zhang Heling did not return to his seat, but asked his entourage to bring the wine jug and wine glass, and toasted directly to everyone Hanlin, with great courtesy.

There were more than ten round tables in the courtyard, and Shen Xi and Hanlin sat in the second seat.

Shen Xi took a look, there were almost more than 100 guests today, the dishes on the table were exquisite and the wine was mellow, and on the one-person high platform in the middle of the courtyard, there were dancing girls with beautiful postures one after another.

Because she is a dancer raised by the Hou Mansion, she is far inferior to the female dancer of the Teaching Workshop Division in terms of skills, but in terms of dress, she looks quite "novel", **** is half-exposed, and her pink arms are half-covered and half-hidden, which is a very revealing and alternative outfit in this year.

When Li Mengyang played the impeachment of Zhang Heling, he was charged with "kidnapping people's children", which shows that Zhang Heling was very disorderly in terms of personal style.

Where these dancers came from, Shen Xi didn't know, but seeing that these women had to come down from the stage to toast each table of guests after dancing, a group of lustful men present looked at their beautiful figures and exposed **** arms, and their pretty faces were slightly frightened.

After dancing several times in a row, and when the last group of dancers finished toasting and retreated, Zhang Heling raised his glass with a smile: "Come, Ben Hou toasts you with a glass." ”

Everyone just picked up the wine glasses, and after Zhang Heling drank the wine, everyone drank together.

After singing and dancing, the next step is the toast commonly used in the banquet, Zhang Heling said with a smile: "Today, there are talented people from Hanyuan who are here, you might as well make a toast poem by each of you to add to the wine!" ”

Zhang Heling's proposal was immediately embraced by those present.

To say that the people who go to the banquet today, even if they take the road of "preaching the official" to become an official, they have at least read seven or eight years of school, and have read a lot of Tang poems and Song poems in the Four Books and Five Classics, and they boast that they have learned a lot, and they often write a few crooked poems on weekdays, and they are all compared to Li Du after being praised by others, and now they have the opportunity to show off in front of Shou Ninghou, and the opportunity is rare.

Zhang Heling said with a smile: "That Hou threw bricks and led jade, and made a fool of himself first......"

In a word, let the courtyard be quiet, everyone wants to hear what Zhang Heling's "masterpiece" was born.

Zhang Heling has heard a lot about corruption and bending the law, but the talents of this uncle are really rare to hear of by the guests, and they all feel that since they dare to compose poems in public, they must have a little bit of support.

"A hundred miles of green silk is one zhang high, and a thousand feet shoot a horse to look at the wine trough. There are 10,000 maned horses in the wine, and 100,000 male soldiers fight Loulan. ”

Zhang Heling chanted poems, shook his head, and seemed to be in high spirits, but after listening to it, most people only had inexplicable surprise in their hearts......

The poem sounds good, but when you look closer, it's obscure.

From hundreds, to thousands, to tens of thousands, and then to one hundred thousand, it seems to be extraordinary, especially the last two sentences, which make people feel that Zhang Heling is determined to lead the troops and has the style of a general.

In particular, what is "100 miles of green silk and one zhang high" talking about?

Shen Xi pondered carefully, but knew what Zhang Heling wanted to express......

Qing silk is a kind of cyan silk fabric, which is hundreds of miles long, but only one zhang high, why is this? Because they will use this green silk to enclose the hunting ground. The poem is to the effect that he shoots in the paddock, and then gets drunk, imagining the scene of thousands of troops and 100,000 soldiers in front of him, which has a bit of unpaid ambition.

"Okay, Master Hou's poem is really heroic, I admire it." Regardless of whether you understand it or not, the words of praise from the people present do not need to be said in general.

Even Shen Xi's colleagues in the Hanlin Academy couldn't help but nod their heads in appreciation...... How to say that this is also a toast poem made by Zhang Heling "on the spot", it is not easy to reach this level. Sometimes what you have to listen to is not the poem itself, but the artistic conception hidden in the poem, which at least proves that Zhang Heling does not forget his family, country and society when drinking, which can be regarded as worrying about the country and the people!

At the beginning of Zhang Heling, others wrote poems one after another.

If Zhang Heling's poem is barely acceptable, then some people's poems since then are simply shoddy. Because there are many people who are at the banquet today, there are many "heirlooms and officials" who have obtained official positions by bribing the Zhang brothers, although they have been reading books for seven or eight years, but after all, their qualifications are in charge there, and it is difficult to let them compose a good poem on the spot.

After listening to these unbearable bad poems, Zhong Hanlin frowned.

Fortunately, Zhang Heling knew that many of the people who were at the banquet today were unscathed, and inviting them to the banquet was just to worry about their pockets and remind them that they should be filial. Therefore, Zhang Heling invited Hanlin and those officials from Jinshi to rise up from time to time to compose one or two poems, interspersed in the middle of the bad poems, and brought the atmosphere of the banquet to life.

About half an hour later, Shen Xi saw that the "poetry meeting" still had no intention of ending, and he thought that he would not be able to run away.

Sure enough, before the tea was ready, Zhang Heling set his eyes on Shen Xi: "I only know that Shen Xiu can learn well, but I don't have the opportunity to see it, I don't know if Shen Xiu can make a toast for me to open my eyes?" ”

"Yes, Shen Xiu, it's your turn. You are the champion, you must be good at poetry! "Someone helped to encourage it.

These people said that they admired Shen Xi's talent, but they were secretly scolding in their hearts, you are a thirteen-year-old doll, you can actually be a champion? Even if you write well and have a lot of poetry, but today is a toast poem, and you have only drunk a few times in total, how do you know the wonder of this drink?

Shen Xi really has a feeling that his donkey skills are poor.

Indeed, because he wanted to take the imperial examination, he memorized tens of thousands of articles in his life, and there were thousands of articles in Bagu, but there were not a few poems that could be written, after all, the imperial examination in the early and middle Ming Dynasty did not take the examination poems, and under the examination-oriented education, he would not force himself to practice, after all, it was not easy to do a good job in the article at his age, at most, he borrowed a few famous sentences from later generations to pretend.

Now I want to make a toast poem on the spot, it is beyond my ability, there is no way, Shen Xi can only use the old way, and if he can't do it himself, he can only "steal", but whose work he steals is a problem.

The era of the poetry collection was the Tang and Song dynasties, and even if there were occasional famous poems in later generations, they were not as good as Li Du and Su Liu after all, but if he took the poems of Li Du and Su Liu, it would be a shame.

However, if you talk about poetry and talent, there is a poet who lives in the same era as him, and even has a deep relationship with him, but at this time, people are still in the prison of the Pacification Division, and they are full of confusion about the future.

It is Tang Bohu, a great genius of the Ming Dynasty!

Shen Xi sighed lightly, stood up and saluted everyone respectfully, and he was not verbose, and directly chanted:

"Li Bai had a month in front of him, but only Li Baishi could say it."

"Li Bai is now immortal, how full is the moon in the blue sky?"

"Today's people still sing Li Bai's poems, and the bright moon is still like Li Bai's time."

"I learn from Li Bai to Mingyue, Bai and Mingyue can know!"

"Li Bai can poems and regain wine, I will repeat a thousand songs in a hundred cups today."

"I'm ashamed that although I don't have Li Baicai, I don't think Yingyue thinks I'm ugly."

"I don't stay in Guanghan Palace, and I don't go to Qiongyu Palace."

"Under the thatched house of Peach Blossom Mountain, ten thousand trees and peach blossoms are full of moon."
