Yao Changqing was standing on the stage, watching the scene off the stage. As soon as Song Zheng came, the students of the Martial Arts Academy immediately stopped, which made Yao Changqing secretly frightened. Seeing Song Zheng so popular with a rich lady, Yao Changqing's eyes immediately showed a hint of jealousy. Although this morning's picture incident made him anxious, he still gritted his teeth and organized this spring outing poetry meeting according to the procedure, in order to completely trample Song Zheng under his feet.

When everyone in the audience was arguing and shouting, a group of people came in from the gate of the Academy and walked straight to the poetry stage. The leader is Zhizhou Hu Tongxue, and the one who is half a position behind is the garrison of Lu Hengshan. Lu Yan followed closely by Lu Hengshan's side, Yang Tong and Mizhou magistrate Yu Yuan also followed closely, and the other was the descendants of the two military and political leaders. Due to the matter of the Iron Dragon Gang and the successful resolution of the issue of military salaries, the relationship between Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan eased somewhat. Therefore, as soon as Hu Tongxue received Lu Hengshan's invitation yesterday, he agreed to come with him to watch the Spring Outing Poetry Meeting.

Everyone was dressed in civilian clothes. Even so, when the group arrived at the poetry platform, Hu and Lu were still recognized. Yao Changqing stood tall and saw far away, immediately stepped off the stage, led the way to greet him, and shouted: "Student Yao Changqing to meet Lord Zhizhou, meet Lord Garrison!" The scholar who recognized the two of them in the back fell to his knees. And the rest shall also fall to their knees.

Hu Tongxue waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are all exempt from courtesy, today I and Lu Shoubei are simple, just come to take a look, you don't need to be polite." I hope that you will 'pour the Pan River, sprinkle the land and sea', come up with a masterpiece, and let me and Lu Shoubei appreciate the demeanor of our Mizhou talents. ”

Hu Tong deserves to be the governor of the state, and a few words were not only polite, but also aroused the fighting spirit of all the scholars, and they all wanted to show their hands in front of their parents.

Song Zheng didn't want to entertain the two, so he and Lu Hong, who was afraid of seeing his father, drilled into the crowd. Who knew that Lu Yan had already seen them, so she said a few words in Lu Hengshan's ear. Lu Hengshan smiled, and asked loudly: "Yao Changqing, is that Song Xiaolang who 'eliminated the gangsters with one hand' here?" ”

Yao Changqing caught a glimpse of Lu Yan's actions and knew that this was Lu Yan's idea, and his heart was even more resentful. However, he is also quite a city person, and his face does not show half a point, and he bows his head and replies: "Song Gongzi is also here." As soon as the two adults came, they ran away without knowing where they went. This is obviously to put on small shoes for Song Zheng, with Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan's cunning, how can he not hear it. The two looked at each other and did not speak. Yang Tong, who was in the back, heard it, and hurriedly shouted to Song Zheng: "Song Zheng, little brother, come here!" ”

Song Zheng saw that there was no way to hide, so he turned around and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Lord Zhizhou, Lord Garrison, I just saw two purple gases appear in the east, and I heard thunder and tremble, and the earth shook, making the kid almost want to kneel. It turned out that two adults came, and I thought there were real immortals descending to earth! ”

Shameless! blatantly patted the horse, but it was still justified. The scholars couldn't help but despise Song Zhenglai, and secretly depressed, how could they not say such a thing!

Hu Tongxue smiled and said nothing, while Lu Hengshan scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, talking nonsense again, I and Master Hu are visiting in casual clothes, where does the purple gas come from?" How could there have been thunder? ”

Song Zheng walked up to the two with a smile, and gave a salute to Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan respectively, and when he raised his head, his face was solemn, "It's true, from the footsteps of the two adults, I heard the rumbling thunder of Mizhou's history!" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, all the scholars took a breath of cool air, and this kid surnamed Song was too good at talking. The meaning of this sentence is clearly that Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan created a new history of Mizhou, and their "great achievements" can be recorded in history. Yao Changqing next to him also heard it, and he was even more jealous in his heart.

Hu Tongxue was obviously stunned, and then pointed at Song Zheng and smiled: "You! Bachelor Song is honest and strict, how can there be such a kid as you! Naturally, there was joy in his voice.

Lu Hengshan patted Song Zheng's shoulder with his hand and did not speak. Lu Yan in the back was beautiful, and she suddenly remembered something, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and glared at Song Zheng with a little blush. Yang Tong gave a thumbs up, meaning, little brother, you cow!

Song Zheng was about to come, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Zhizhou, Lord Garrison, please come on stage." Yao Changqing on the side also reacted, he stepped forward, squeezed Song Zheng behind him, and also bowed down and made a gesture of invitation.

Song Zheng smiled secretly, this Yao Changqing was messed up by this morning's incident, and he was out of order, and now he was almost out of order. Immediately, he did not speak, but smiled and took two steps back, and then stood with his hands down. Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan glanced at each other again, and they both laughed. The two of them walked up the wooden ladder.

Yao Changqing hurriedly ordered someone to bring two chairs and place them on the north side of the platform. Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan gave in for a moment, and Hu Tongxue sat down first. At this time, the audience was silent, and there was no one to talk to each other, and the scholars were staring at the stage, looking forward to the three teachers who came to the question immediately.

Soon, Zhao Huan, Song Jue and another teacher named Yu Huawen came over. The three of them saw Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan sitting on the stage from a distance, and they all quickened their pace. When the three of them came to the stage, they all bowed down and saluted, and even shouted "It's late". Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan also stood up and returned the salute. Hu Tongxue said with a smile: "Master Lu and I are here in casual clothes this time, just to see the literary brilliance of these scholars, the three teachers are not about to come up with the questions, these talents can't wait." ”

The three of them laughed awkwardly and quickly took the stage. At that row of tables, Yao Changqing had already ordered someone to polish the ink. The three of them thought for a moment, and then wrote a few words on the paper. Song Jue and Yu Huawen respectively handed the paper in their hands to Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan looked at it, put the three pieces of paper facing the audience, and said loudly: "The title of Song Jiaoxi is 'Spring Water', and the title of Yu Jiaoxi has only one word, that is, 'Lake', as for me, the title is 'Liu Sigh'." Well, there are a total of 12 tables here, from north to south, each of the four tables is a group, corresponding to the three topics of 'Lake', 'Willow Sigh' and 'Spring Water', limited to one stick of incense, and answered by five or seven character poems or quatrains. Those who come up with poems can go on stage, and each group can come up with a maximum of four people. One person from each group on the stage can come up again. Don't mess around. Those who come to the stage to compose poems must not pause, but must write poems in one breath in order to save time for others. Now light the incense! ”

In the middle of the front of the poetry platform, a small incense burner is placed. Yao Changqing stepped forward and lit a stick of incense inserted in it with a flint.

At this time, there was already a commotion in the audience, and many scholars began to meditate, and some were discussing something with others. Song Zheng took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and stuffed the "Liu Sigh" and the account book he got from Yao Changqing into Lu Hong's hand, and gave a few words in a low voice. Lu Hong nodded hurriedly, turned around and began to find someone to prepare.

After half a cup of tea, people began to take the stage. There are three wooden ladders along the platform, and the scholars who want to do these three topics are crowded at the entrances of the three staircases, racking their brains and sweating hard. In previous years, although there were people from the alumni association to maintain order, there were still scholars who had quarrels and even started because of grabbing positions. This time, Hu Tongxue and Lu Hengshan came, and the scholars naturally didn't dare to come nonsense, and they all listened to the people of the alumni association line up.

At this time, Zhao Huan, Song Jue and Yu Huawen were all standing behind the long table. Perhaps for the sake of justice, Zhao Huan stood behind Song Jue's "Spring Water" topic, and Song Jue stood behind Yu Huawen's "Lake" title, and Yu Huawen was naturally responsible for Zhao Huan's "Liu Sigh" topic. The three of them were judged on the spot, and the poems that were too bad were thrown under the table casually, and they were put aside. Leave it to the final decision.

At this time, Yao Changqing stood on the side of the stage and did not step forward. Anyway, he had been prepared, so he kept secretly looking at Lu Hengshan's side, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Although the topic is not difficult, because there are many good sentences from the predecessors, the scholars still racked their brains to try to come up with new ideas. The first brother to come to the stage quickly completed a poem, Zhao Huan looked at it, it turned out that this brother wrote "In March in Weishui, Mizhou, Wuhua urged me to have a new poem, with the wind and the yalu sparkling, and the goose yellow and drooping." "Poetry is good poetry, but it's a pity that it is plagiarized from others. Wang Anshi of the previous dynasty had a poem "Nanpu": "In February in Nanpu Donggang, Wuhua flirted with me with a new poem, with the wind and the yalu sparkling, and the goose yellow and drooping. The benevolent brother only changed a few words, and then used it to show off. Zhao Huan laughed and threw it under the table. (Xiao Gu is diligent, collect it after reading!) ）
