Liu Quanyou looks festive, and his mouth is also neat, without waiting for Zhao Yan to answer, he introduced himself to Liu Jing and the others behind him: "Little brother Hengshui Liu Quanyou, the words are complete, and the brothers can call the little brother the words." ”

Liu Jing and the others thought it was interesting to see that he looked familiar, and besides, he was Zhao Yan's old friend, so they also introduced themselves as brothers.

Another heavyweight was added to the team, Zhao Yan turned his head to look at the young scholar, and was about to ask if he could take the little fat man up with him, but the scholar already understood, and without waiting for Zhao Yan to speak, he asked to go upstairs.

There are also a lot of people on the second floor, but there are still some empty seats, a few people found a table and sat down, and then there were small two ends of the running hall to tea and pastries, and a few people drank tea while talking about some anecdotes, but also seemed very comfortable.

After half an hour, there are no more people downstairs, looking at it, the second floor is full of nearly 200 people, as for the more spacious first floor, there must be more people, I don't know what kind of person Kang Gongzi who initiated the cultural meeting, there is such a great energy to host the cultural meeting.

A few people were listening to the people at the table next to them discussing the initiator of this meeting, that is, the Kang Gongzi, and then they heard a noisy greeting from downstairs.

A moment later, a group of people came up the stairs, led by a young man dressed in brocade clothes, although his appearance was average, but he was complemented by the exquisite costumes on his body, which also looked a little good.

"Ladies and gentlemen, under the surname Kang Mingquan, the word Changheng, this ancient city poetry meeting was initiated by a few like-minded friends in the next, thank you for taking the time to come, I am very grateful." After Kang Quan came up, he bowed his hand, and his words were generous and decent, which won the favor of those present.

Kang Quan was talking on the stage, while Zhao Yan listened to the whispers of the people at the table next to him.

"Brother Lu, what is the origin of this Kang Gongzi? He was able to organize so many people to participate in the cultural meeting, and among those people behind him, it seems that many of them are famous talents in Fucheng who are famous in Chinese, right? ”

"Brother Long, you don't know anything about this. Kang Gongzi's grandfather is the former Ministry of Rites Kang Shilang for many years, it is said that this Kang family was not originally a Zhendingfu people, but moved from Nanzhili, who was at the height of his literary style, during the Zhengde period. This Kang Gongzi was ordered by Kang Shilang to study the study of saints since he was a child, and he can be said to be talented and rich, but he repeatedly wanted to participate in the imperial examination, but was rejected by Kang Shilang on the grounds that his virtue and knowledge were not enough.

Although he did not win fame in the field, the fame of this Kang Gongzi is getting bigger and bigger, known as the first genius of Zhending Mansion, and he is known as a prostitute and a poet with celebrities inside and outside the city. This year, maybe Kang Shilang was relieved, this Kang Gongzi participated in the county test, and was promoted to the head of the case by the county, I heard that even the article of the Fuzun who met Kang Gongzi praised a few words.

The family background is illustrious, and he is the first genius of Zhending Mansion, so the literary meeting held by Kang Gongzi is like a cloud and a rain every time. Now that we can go up to the second floor, if we say it, it will be something worth boasting about, Brother Long thinks yes or no? ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme, what Brother Lu said is very true. It's just that there are so many people participating in the cultural society, how can they learn from each other? ”

"Brother Long, this is a poetry club, since it is a poetry club, it is naturally mainly based on poetry, and those celebrities behind Gongzi Kang are fair and appreciative people. Actually, if you really want to talk about it, it can be regarded as me waiting for the light of this Kang Gongzi. ”

"Oh? What does Brother Lu mean by this? ”

"Brother Long, what do you think, there are so many people participating in the poetry meeting this time, most of them are from various states and counties in the prefecture, if you and I can make one or two brilliant poems, we will definitely be able to spread the reputation of you and me through the mouths of these people, and even the Fuzun of the main examination will have heard of you and me, isn't it beautiful?"

"Wonderful, it's still Brother Lu who sees it thoroughly, and the younger brother is not as good as it."

After Zhao Yan listened to the whisper, the scene of Gongzi Kang was finished, and after he took his seat, one of his younger brothers stood up and said: "Everyone, in Moyuan, it is an honor to be invited by Gongzi Kang to participate in this ancient city poetry meeting, and you must be in your hearts and minds, but the literati have been light since ancient times, since this is a poetry club, it is natural to meet friends with poetry, and to decide the level with poetry." Zhending City has been built since the Jin Dynasty, it has been more than 1,000 years ago, it can be called a thousand-year-old city, and there are many stories. I think that when I wait for the first poem of today, why don't we take this ancient city as the theme? ”

The crowd shouted, "Great goodness." ”

Zhao Yan picked up a piece of pastry from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, and thought boredly: literati are hypocritical, not to say good, only to be good, if people without literary literacy listen, they will definitely not know what these people are talking about.

Seeing the response of the crowd, Mo Yuan was very happy, and then he pressed his hand, and said: "In this case, all of you have pens, ink, paper and inkstones attached to the table, and after the poems are recorded on the paper, someone will go to collect them, and then they will be tasted by several wise men with both ability and integrity in the city, and finally select the ten most brilliant poems to sing." In addition, the days are short, and I don't have much time to wait, so I will limit the time of one stick of incense, so please start. ”

The little fat man Liu Quanyou has never participated in the literary meeting where so many readers gather, although he was excited at this time, he also knew that this was a good opportunity to become famous, and it took a lot of effort to write the poem, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhao Yan had already done the poem and wrote it on the paper, and couldn't help but praise: "The brothers are really seven steps talented, and the younger brother thought hard to come up with a poem, which is much worse than several brothers." ”

Liu Jing fell in love with this little fat man, and said with a smile: "No, when I first arrived in Fucheng, except for Brother Qian, who copied the old works of his predecessors, the rest of the people had already felt that they had made a poem each, and at this time they just copied the poems they had made before on paper." ”

Qian Liangcai said with resentment: "Brother Liu, didn't I add another poem later, besides, I still say that the world's scholars are a family, and occasionally use the learning of their predecessors, how can I say plagiarism." ”

"Haha, Brother Qian, you are crooked, you can't bring Brother Shuangquan to the detriment." Liu Jing teased, he likes to tease Qian Liangcai the most when he has nothing to do on weekdays.

After a stick of incense, a small servant took away the piece of paper on the table, and occasionally someone would complain that the time for composing two poems was too short, but it was harmless.

Most of the seven or eight wise men who were in charge of appreciating the poems were bearded, and they were all middle-aged and knowledgeable elders in Fucheng, and the speed of reading the poems was not slow, and they had finished reading it in about a stick of incense, and then exchanged a few pages of paper in their hands and looked at them a few times, and finally decided on ten poems that they thought were the best.

Mo Yuan held the stack of papers in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, these ten poems have been selected, so I will sing them again for you to taste."

Mo Yuan was about to chant, but a scholar who didn't want to sit by the window on the second floor suddenly raised his hand and interrupted: "Wait." Brother Kang, Brother Mo, Professor Zhu of Fuxue seems to be on the street outside the building, why don't we invite him to taste it together? ”

Kang Quan and Mo Yuan were overjoyed when they heard this, and they came to the window and looked down, Professor Zhu of Fuxue was really passing downstairs, and the two of them were not good at shouting in front of the window, so as not to lose their manners, so they had to take three steps and two steps downstairs, and after a while, they really invited that Professor Zhu up.

The professors, scholars, and teachers of the official school are in charge of teaching all living beings, and those who are admitted to the Xiucai study must enter the official school to study, and Zhu Professor is highly respected, and has always taken it as his responsibility to preach and teach and solve doubts, so that everyone treats this Professor Zhu very respectfully, and they all expect that they can show their faces in front of him and form a good fate, even if the scholars of other states and counties are no exception.

This Professor Zhu still had the old servant with him, and when he came upstairs, he was very indifferent in the face of the praise of many scholars, and after giving a salute, he sat down surrounded by the seven or eight wise men.

Professor Zhu's trip was to go to the government to find Han Zhifu, because last night someone on the street openly sang 'Yin Ci Yan Song', Han Zhifu was also indignant after hearing about it, but Professor Zhu didn't see the faces of those frivolous people last night, so after the two discussed, they could only decide to temporarily issue a positive notice.

When he came out of the mansion and passed by Juhua Restaurant, Professor Zhu was stopped by Kang Quan and Mo Yuan, and was strongly invited upstairs by the two to talk.

Hearing that there were hundreds of people participating in the poetry meeting, this Professor Zhu moved his mind, the voices of the two he still has some impressions, if he can happen to meet those frivolous people last night at this poetry meeting, it is the best, if not, you can also take the opportunity to preach in front of many scholars, so as to be a positive atmosphere, this is where his duty lies, so Professor Zhu did not shirk, and followed Kang and Mo to the restaurant.

After Professor Zhu came up, Liu Jing and Qian Liangcai's calmness suddenly disappeared, and Zhao Yan and Zhang Wenyuan saw that the two of them shrank their heads like quails, so they changed seats with the two of them and let them turn their backs to Professor Zhu, so they settled down a little.

The poetry meeting continued under the auspices of Mo Yuan, with Professor Zhu by his side, and this poetry meeting was presided over by him, so he had more opportunities to show his face than others, so his expression was more excited, and he sang the poems more hard.

"The shadow of the wild goose is separated by the river, and the sound of the ape is long. The ancient city is far away from the sunset, and the road is full of autumn frost. Mo Yuan cleared his throat after singing the fifth poem, and said: "Everyone, this is made by Jiang Youbin Jiang Gongzi, the head of the county trial case in Jizhou. ”

A young man with a long figure and a handsome face stood up when he heard the voice, first arched his hand in all directions, and then said: "Jiang Shu in Xia Jizhou, the word Youbin, is clumsy and rude, which makes you laugh. ”
