The things that Xin Yi gave to Chunzhi are not valuable, but they are just some ordinary clothes, and there are silver coins that will be rewarded during the monthly exam, or one or two silver ornaments will be given during the festival.
It is said that it is silver jewelry, not a bracelet or the like, but a small, childlike jewelry, and it is not only the spring branch that will be rewarded, but any child who is more diligent on weekdays, or who is better in the monthly exam.
Silver ornaments are not solid, but hollow bells and the like, which can be worn on the head, which may not be worth much to the rich and noble, but to these poor girls, it is simply a treasure.
But Chunzhi threw it aside in disgust, and as soon as Chunzhi threw the silver jewelry on the bed, other girls went back to the house, and then looked at Chunzhi, sitting happily in front of the dressing table, putting the headdress on the hair chirping, looking left and right, looking overjoyed.
The girl who lived in the same room was a little envious, and a little sour, "Little girl who has never seen the world, how long has this been joyful, but don't wear it on your head tomorrow and disappear." ”
Chunzhi's little face sank, glanced at the girl, carefully removed the headdress, and wrapped the headdress with the handkerchief issued by the house, and placed it properly in a wooden box.
Besides, Yan Wuming's side, these days he has been walking around Sanyang County, arranging, watching the students' emotions rise, and many students are becoming more and more dissatisfied with Huaiwangfu.
Yan Wuming finished arranging, just leisurely drinking tea and watching the play on the side, just like now, he was sitting on the second floor of a restaurant, ordering a table full of dishes, and ordering a pot of good tea, and putting the mung beans aside.
I asked for a small red clay stove from the shop, and a copper kettle was placed on it, and after boiling the water, he skillfully washed the tea and made tea.
Alone, while drinking tea, he leisurely listened to the chatter of the students downstairs.
The atmosphere is very casual and casual.
Just as he heard the next person talking about entering Beijing to take the exam, he heard the sound of Xiao Er greeting outside, Yan Wuming casually glanced out of the window and couldn't help but pause.
Yan Wuming raised his eyebrows, and several young men dressed as sons of the family downstairs were dismounting at the door of the restaurant.
He recognized that those young sons were all from prominent families in Sanyang County, and they were famous.
He didn't pay attention to the young men behind him, but stayed on the young man in his early twenties with an elegant temperament.
Before he came to Sanyang County, he had already figured out the power of Sanyang County, which was related to Huaiwangfu, and had nothing to do with people and things, and he also knew the intricate forms of Huaiwangfu now.
The young man at the beginning was born in the Huaiwang Mansion, and now the Huaiwang is his cousin, and he is also the son of Sanyang County who is most likely to win the top three in Chunfu this time.
He had written a few articles before the students made a fuss, and they were copied by the students in the north, which can be said to be famous, and many scholars in Sanyang County took him as the first to look at him.
Yan smiled silently, sure enough, the people taught by Huai Wangfu were all so amazing.
Huaiwangfu has always been very low-key, and even the children of the side branches are also very low-key, silently taking the imperial examination, silently entering the Hanlin, or being assigned to various places in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty as a small official, and then slowly promoted.
These days, he corresponded with Xiao Wulang, and with the help of his living roster of officials, he was shocked to realize that officials from or related to Huaiwangfu were all over the Eastern Yuan Dynasty in recent years.
Yan Wuming put down the teacup, stood up, walked out of the room slowly, leaned on the railing on the second floor and glanced down casually.
Downstairs, the shopkeeper was about to lead a group of people to the second floor, and a student in the crowd glanced at the lobby, and there was no storyteller in the lobby like other restaurants and teahouses.
There will be some students sitting here, few but not noisy, only occasionally someone arguing about whose poems are better and whose articles are better.
The prince of Huaiwangfu listened to the words of his fellow students, and finally hesitated for a moment and agreed to sit in the lobby.
The shopkeeper respectfully led a few people to a table in the middle of the lobby and sat down.
Yan Wuming saw that everyone sat down, so he walked back to the house slowly, closed the window facing the street, and opened the window near the lobby, so that the noise on the street was isolated from the window, and the sound in the lobby came to his ears more clearly.
The students downstairs should all know the prince of Huaiwangfu, even if they are dissatisfied with Huaiwangfu now, many people still take the initiative to say hello.
If you don't say it, even if a smart person is unhappy in his heart, it should be well covered up and not seen.
Besides, there is no definite evidence to show that it must be Huai Wangfu who stumbled on them.
Zhao Tianran, the son of Huaiwangfu, is the most knowledgeable in Huaiwangfu's generation, except for his son, he is the leader.
After Zhao Tianran came, the students also surrounded and listened to their talks about politics and politics.
Speaking of which, this must also be an arrangement made by Huai Wangfu, if you want to clear the suspicions of the students, you naturally have to come forward, and Zhao Tianran is undoubtedly the best candidate.
After the window near the lobby was opened, the voice downstairs clearly reached Yan Wuming's ears.
At first, Zhao Tianran didn't speak, let alone clean the bad reputation of Huai Wangfu.
However, a few students who came with him were very active, and one of the students who stared at Yan was unknown last time.
These students took out what they had recently learned in the book to discuss, and as they talked, they inevitably talked about the matter of the imperial court's opening of Enke this time.
The Eastern Yuan Dynasty was very open in some respects, and would not say anything about not talking about state affairs, or not discussing issues such as people's livelihood.
Young students, when they get together, will always express some opinions on the political affairs of the court, as a way to prove that they can do it in the future.
The students are young and vigorous, and when they gather together to discuss something intense, people with different opinions will even fight.
Today, because of the arrival of Zhao Tianran, the debate between students is even more intense.
The students present were all good, and the articles were even more subdued, which attracted continuous applause from the people present.
I can't say if this move is to compete with Zhao Tianran, and even one student is very modest.
"Where can I wait for the literary talent to match Zhao Sigongzi."
So many people asked Zhao Sigongzi to write on the spot.
Yan Wuming raised his eyebrows, this is the people of Huai Wangfu who want to make Zhao Tianran famous, and at the same time clear the suspicion of the palace.
Zhao Tianran already had a good reputation before, as long as he made a good article today to convince everyone, naturally everyone would not suspect that Huai Wangfu had privately withheld the official documents issued by the imperial court in order to protect his family.
Yan Wuming suddenly remembered those flower girls in the capital, in order to choose the Oiran, they would build momentum for themselves early.
Could it be that this Huaiwang Mansion actually learned skills from the Oiran in the flower building?
The more Yan Wuming thought about it, the more he couldn't help but feel that the Zhao family's tricks were quite similar to those tricks when the flower girls competed for the Oiran.
Indeed, as Yan Wuming thought, Huai Wangfu really wanted to wash away the bad reputation of the palace today.
Downstairs, amid the shouts of the students, Zhao Tianran agreed to compose on the spot.
There have long been students who have diligently prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zhao Tianran only needs to pick up the pen and think about it for a while, and then pick up the pen and wave it.
In ancient times, there were children who became poems in seven steps, and now there is Zhao Tiantian's quick thinking, and his pen is like a god, but the article is done in an instant.
It can be described as a single go.
After Zhao Tianran finished writing, as soon as he threw the pen, some students surrounded him and read the masterpiece.
Yan Wuming listened quietly, in all fairness, Zhao Tianran did have a certain level, what he wrote was really good, the arguments were clear, and the arguments were reasonable.
This essay is called a policy treatise to be precise, and the whole article is devoted to how to cultivate talents for the country, and to demonstrate and consolidate his thesis from various aspects.
I have to say that Huai Wangfu is really good at building momentum, and this article made all the readers present fall for it, which can be said to have poked the itchy flesh of the readers.
Let's ask, what kind of scholar is not looking for to be able to share his talent with the emperor's family?
And the content expounded in Zhao Tianran's article, if it can be recognized by the imperial court, it will be a blessing for scholars in the world.
As a result, this article can be said to have won back the support of many readers for Huai Wangfu.
Because this article can be said to be seeking opportunities for students to get ahead.
How could such a Huaiwang Mansion stumble on the students?
What's more, the son of Huaiwangfu is really knowledgeable, and he doesn't need to make any small moves at all, which makes most people ashamed of themselves.
For a while, those students who were originally wavering in their hearts and didn't know whether to believe that Huaiwangfu was greasy, suddenly leaned towards Huaiwangfu in their hearts.
Everyone sincerely surrounded Zhao Tianran's side, touting him.
Only a few students remained outside the circle.
Yan Wuming hooked his lips, if this is really the case, then isn't all the things he did in vain?
If you want him to eat anything, he just won't suffer!
It's still a loss after so much hard work!
He and Xiao Wulang were studying with the same gentleman, and many times, after the husband finished his lecture, he would come up with a question and ask him and Gorou to write an article.
However, many times, he is not Goro's opponent.
But even so, it doesn't mean that he Yan Wuming is a vegetarian.
It's just a temporary essay to refute Zhao Tianran, what's so difficult?
He called Mung Bean, went to ask for pen, ink, paper, inkstone, thought for a moment, and began to write.
Mung Bean saw his master burying his head in writing, and his heart was faintly excited.
Ouch, it's been a long time since my master has done such a thing.
I don't know what those students downstairs will be refuted by their masters.
Ami Tofu, he mung bean mourns for those students.
Mung Bean stood aside and was ready to polish ink for his son, and was even ready to take his son's article downstairs to those students at any time.
Although this article was not made by his mung bean, it was made by his son-in-law, and he mung bean is honored.
I have taken the article made by the son, and my hands are all ink-scented, which is much better than giving roses to leave a lingering fragrance.
Yan Wuming's thinking was clear, he wrote a lot in one go, and he put away the pen after half a cup of tea.
When he was done, he put down his pen and looked up.
He was just about to ask the mung bean surging in his heart to be sent downstairs, when he saw a tall figure walking by at the door.
Like the girl who catches the fast?
He suddenly changed his mind and ordered Mung Bean a few words.
When Mung Bean heard this, he suddenly said, "......"
What's the horse? The master asked him to send the article to Xiao Er downstairs, and then vaguely told Xiao Er that this article was written by a girl!
This...... This...... This...... He was not convinced!
Unconvinced, as a more intimate and thoughtful little guy than Xiao Yi, no matter how reluctant Mung Bean was, he still turned around and went out the door, following Yan Wuming's instructions.
Hey, this girl, if you don't come sooner or later, come at this time, but you can really pick the time.
Li Hong would come to the restaurant because there was a small cake in the food she cooked, and after the shopkeeper of the restaurant ate it, he asked her to send some every day and sell it to those customers.
There is money to earn, Li Hong is naturally happy, so she set this hour every day to come, originally she walked through the small door of the back street, after all, the restaurant also has to make signboards.
It's hard to say that this thing was bought from outside and then sold to customers, and the reputation of the white wolf with empty gloves is not very good.
I came to the second floor today, because the shopkeeper was in a room on the second floor, and the guy at the bottom asked her to come up to the shopkeeper to settle the bill.
She never dreamed that she would have a different kind of reputation when she was unconscious.
Although everyone doesn't know that person is her!
After Li Hong found the shopkeeper on the second floor to settle the bill, she thought that Xiaomei was the only one in the shop, so she didn't stay long and prepared to go back.
When she went downstairs, the students were chatting, and a person at the table in the middle was particularly handsome and elegant, and her temperament was surrounded by all hearts, and she deliberately looked at it twice.
There was a student who looked at the elegant temperament and laughed in a low voice,
"The fourth son, this little lady is beautiful, but it also complements each other, but the fourth son is a son of a family, and the family is not a good match."
A girl from an ordinary rich and noble family will never come to the restaurant alone like Li Hong, and she will not dress as casually as her.
Zhao Tianran glanced at Li Hong, who was down the stairs, and then at the fellow students, "Mo Hu said, this girl's identity is unusual, her father was exiled to Sanyang County, and a few days ago, the big case handled by the new county magistrate from the county is also known to everyone." ”
Everyone was quite surprised and looked at Li Hong, but Li Hong had already left the lobby and disappeared outside the door.
"I see, no wonder this woman is dressed up in the market, but it's good to ...... it"
The next words did not come out of the student's words, and I don't know what 'is good', but the tone is really ambiguous.
Zhao Sigongzi had just been praised by everyone, took a sip of wine, and said slowly,
"Everyone is even, and the color must be the same."
"It's not casual to take a concubine."
Everyone praised Zhao Tianran, "I didn't expect Zhao Gongzi to have such an identity and such a romantic appearance, but he acted according to etiquette......"
is worthy of being the son of the Huaiwang Mansion.
A large group of people drank wine with anecdotes from others, finished talking about politics, and after being touted, they happily ate melon seeds and drank tea.
Li Hong wanted to go back to help Xiaomei at that time, but she was in a hurry, and she didn't put her mind on the scholars in the lobby.
But Yan Wuming above heard it clearly, and his face sank suddenly, this group of people is really virtuous.
Mung Bean had already sent down the article he had just made, which happened to be sent to Zhao Tianran, who was surrounded by all hearts like a moon, through Xiao Er's hand, and said respectfully,
"Childe, a guest said that he didn't agree with your article, so he also wrote an article."
Originally, everyone was stunned, and it was common for students to discuss the back-and-forth arguments of the text, but today's Zhao Tianran's article is really good, and it is too deep in the hearts of the students.
Suddenly, someone was displeased,
"I don't agree with the article of the fourth prince, why don't you come out to refute it openly, just send an article down, is this the demeanor that a reader should have?"
Zhao Tianran was very graceful to stop more people from making unpleasant remarks, and took the article from Xiao Er's hand very graciously, and at the same time said very gracefully, "It's okay."
When everyone saw this, they even despised the scholar who saw nothing but no one, what kind of person is it, a villain who doesn't dare to show his true face.
Since Zhao Tianran has to have a demeanor, he will naturally read the other party's article on the spot, and when he reads it, there are also students on the side who follow him to read it, wanting to see what kind of arrogant person can come up with a better article.
A student standing on the side shared the article he saw with the student who couldn't see it on the side, originally this student meant to read the article out for everyone to have fun, laughing at this person for not measuring himself, just reading and reading, his voice became smaller and smaller, and the whole person became more and more empty.
Even those who began to listen to the text with a joking mentality slowly put away their joking mentality and couldn't help but listen carefully.
This article may not be gorgeous enough or majestic, but the sentences are very concise and concise, and between the lines can make people feel that the person who wrote the article is calm, unhurried, and unhurried, as well as the strength of the article itself.
Overturn Zhao Tianran's article from all aspects, and at the same time point out the mistakes and omissions in it, as well as the parts that cannot be implemented in practice when cultivating talents.
These mistakes and omissions and pointed out parts are reasonable and cannot be refuted, which makes Zhao Tianran's face gradually turn pale.
This writer, who could not see his true body, was a terrible person, and the other party had a good eloquence and was very familiar with the various rules and regulations of the imperial court, and could even cite examples of what happened in practice.
This person is very powerful!
Those students who originally despised them changed their positions one after another and clapped their hands in praise.
The hearts that were originally poured towards Zhao Tianran fell towards this mysterious writer one after another.
The smile on Zhao Tianran's face became very stiff, and although he still maintained it encouragingly, he looked very embarrassed.
Many students surrounded the little two, "Where is the student who gave you the article, I don't know if I can introduce it?" ”
Xiao Er was surrounded by a group of people, a little dizzy, but fortunately, he gave full play to his many years of hard work, calmed down, and replied,
"Back to your sons, the guest who wrote the article said that it is inconvenient for me to come forward to discuss politics with you, but I can't help but meet my friends with the text, so please forgive me."
The students looked at each other, which seemed to make everyone even more curious, what kind of person is it, inconvenient? Is it the reason for the identity? Or is it that the elders in the family are strict?
Is there anyone else in Sanyang County who is not familiar with the children?
The student who had stared at Yan Wuming thought of Yan Wuming, he pondered for a moment and asked the little er,
"I wonder if that's the kind of person...... Dressed in a green shirt and with a handsome face......"
He described Yan Wuming's appearance to Xiao Er, so as to determine whether it was Yan Wuming.
Recently, Sanyang County is also a foreign student.
Xiao Er shook his head and replied, "It's not the person this son said, but that one is ......younger than all the sons."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked.
What's that? Young?
The youngest student present was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and this person was not eighteen or nineteen, that is, fifteen or sixteen years old?
Suddenly, everyone's faces became even worse.
If you lose, you lose, if you are older, you can say that you lose in experience, but you are younger than everyone else, what's the matter?
How do you go out and meet people?
Mung Bean was in the corner upstairs, watching the faces of the people downstairs change, their eyes were bright, and their cheeks were a little red because of excitement.
These people's literary talents are not worthy of carrying shoes for their sons.
It's a pity that Childe can't appear in his real body.
However, Mung Bean felt that his son-in-law was already an important minister beside His Majesty, and it was useless to ask for those false names.
If you are cheap, you will be cheaper than others.
"Mung Bean, aren't you leaving? When the time comes, the guys can't stop those scholars from coming up to look for people, do you want to blow up your identity with them? ”
Mung Bean hurriedly came out of the shadows, followed behind Yan Wuming, and walked out of the restaurant through the back door.
The people downstairs were still asking questions around Xiao Er, and Xiao Er was so annoyed that he had to reply patiently.
Who made him carry a pena of silver in his pocket? It's just to solve the students' doubts, or it can be said to stop these from going upstairs to find someone.
Xiao Er counted the time and said the words he had received in advance,
"Don't ask, the person who wrote the article was afraid that you would go to him, so he secretly jumped out of the window on the second floor and left."
"It's a young boy, but, judging from the small pair of bright eyes, it may not be a little boy, but a girl who dresses up as a man and comes to the restaurant to see the fresh."
Crowd, "......"
I almost choked to death with a mouthful of saliva!
Lord Celestial! Little girl? That's not as good as a little boy!
The faces of the people who followed Zhao Tianran became so ugly, and even the handsome and elegant Zhao Tianran turned pale.
Some people wondered, "How is it possible, Xiao Er, are you mistaken?" How could it be a girl's house? ”
Xiao Er is not happy, although he received the money, but he also has a moral bottom line, what he said is true, it is really said according to what others order, there is no oil and vinegar, what is going on with these scholars?
Such questioning of others!
"How can the little one be wrong, the little one is really good, isn't that a girl, the girl is dressed up very well, but she forgot that her daughter's family has to have her ears pierced since she was a child, and men don't need it."
"The little one has a good memory, good eyes, and will never be mistaken."
Zhao Tianran's face was difficult to look at again, once the news of the restaurant spread today, it would be an obstacle to his reputation and even the reputation of the palace.
Once it's publicized and gives the impression that you've lost a debate to a girl, it's bad.
He glanced at a fellow traveler next to him, and saw that the companion stepped forward and pulled Xiao Er to the side.
After telling the second child, I went to tell the shopkeeper, and there were many students present.
However, no matter what you are told, what should happen will happen.
Zhao Tianran's discussion of Shiwen with people in the restaurant was widely publicized.
This matter is arranged into two versions, one is that Zhao Tianran lost to a teenager, and the other is that Zhao Tianran lost to a girl dressed as a man.
The news spread more and more, and the people who didn't believe it gradually believed it, and finally it became a story, and the girl dressed as a man was very beautiful.
It suddenly became a story of talented and beautiful women, with ups and downs in the plot, easy to understand, and widely circulated.
Zhao Tianran's reputation has been spread again, and when Zhao Tianran from Huaiwangfu is mentioned, everyone thinks that he lost to a girl when he argued.
And Huai Wangfu wants to extinguish the rumors, it's too late!
