Chapter 059: Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting (Medium)

The poetry meeting in Kaifeng Mansion was still very lively, and there were many readers present. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that among them, there are more Confucian children, and talented scholars rarely come to participate in such poetry meetings.

For no other reason, most of these people are well-known and cherish feathers. In order to avoid damage to his reputation, as long as he can't write a good poem, he won't easily appear at the poetry meeting.

Once it appears, it must have made a good poem.

To put it bluntly, he's telling you when he shows his face - attention, I'm going to pretend!

The so-called poetry society is actually not much different from the literary society organized spontaneously by scholars. If you want to talk about the difference, it is nothing more than this kind of festival poetry meeting, and the government comes forward to preside over it.

In such a poetry meeting, there are not many people who take the initiative to write poems, and naturally there will not be many good poems flowing out, after all, the scholars at this time are more important to the current language, and there are not many people who are good at composing poems.

If they are asked to do eight-strand essays on the spot, there may be a lot of good articles.

It's not that they can't write poems, it's just that the poems written by many people are either too ordinary, or they are reduced to limerick poems, and there are very few works that can be elegant.

There is no way, many famous talents may not be able to make a complete good poem, but it is easier to write the first lyrics. Because words have a fixed format, you only need to fill in the corresponding number of words and sentences according to the name of a certain word brand.

But anyone who can be admitted to Xiucai has some ink in his stomach and has read a lot of poems. As long as you have inspiration, you can extract some sentences from some famous poems, make slight changes, and combine them to become your own.

As long as you don't copy the whole sentence, you can't say I'm plagiarizing!

The magistrates apparently understood this, and had no intention of encouraging the scholars to study poetry. The officials and gentlemen are just going through a formality, "having fun with the people".

This poetry club is actually to gather all the readers, everyone to drink a little wine, to recite poetry that can be a pair, to make a pair of pairs, or to discuss knowledge, or to sit and chat.

Of course, this money will definitely not come from the government.

At tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, there were not many officials present, and several bigwigs from the Political Envoy Department and the Envoy Department came to show their faces, sat for a while and left.

There were only seven or eight officials from the government and county government who were present, and they also showed their faces, so they found an excuse to leave. In the end, only He Zhifu, Feng Tuiguan, Wei Zhixian and Wu Tixue remained.

There is a lake in the blowing platform, and a small pavilion is built in the center of the lake, and the people sitting in the small pavilion are naturally several officials. In addition, there are several local gentlemen in Fucheng.

There are many boats in the lake, large and small, and each boat is also equipped with wine and snacks for the enjoyment of the scholars, but the price of renting a boat is not low, and a small boat for several people can be rented for three taels of silver.

Too expensive?

Then sit by the lake and admire the moon, there are also a few cases there, which are cheaper than hiring a boat.

In the past, when Lu Cheng and his father came to participate in the poetry meeting, they all sat by the lake, but tonight with Zuo Guoji and Shen Yi, the two rich people, he didn't need to worry about this kind of thing.

When Lu Cheng and the others arrived, there were already a lot of people at the scene, dozens of red lanterns hanging on the bow of the boat could be faintly seen in the center of the lake, and a whole row of lanterns passed by the shore of the lake, and there were also a lot of literati sitting.

Since ancient times, there have been many talented and beautiful people gathered in the poetry meeting, but this poetry meeting of the Ming Dynasty is a little weird.

The so-called beauties, who can sing and dance well and are extraordinary, many of them are from the place of the hook, but the court has a strict order, and officials are not allowed to prostitutes. On this occasion, how dare the officials invite the red girl?

changed into casual clothes in private, and Qinglou could go shopping as much as he wanted, but at such a poetry meeting, it was absolutely impossible to invite a red girl to perform a talent show.

It is precisely because of this that many officials are reluctant to sit here for a long time, what do a group of big men have to talk about?

During the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, it is natural to go to visit the Qinglou and drink flower wine. Without a beautiful woman in her arms, any poems and songs are not elegant.

A few people came to the shore and found that the atmosphere was indeed very lively. All I could hear was the neighborhood's scholars talking to each other, the sound of their pairs, and occasionally the occasional person reciting his own poems in public.

Zuo Guoji had already hired a boat, and the cabin could accommodate ten people, and seeing Lu Cheng's puzzled face, he explained with a smile: "I have two friends who are coming over." ”

At this moment, a voice came from behind him that made Lu Cheng feel very familiar: "It turned out to be Brother Shunqi, it's been a long time!" ”

When Zuo Guoji saw the visitor, he also smiled and saluted back: "Brother Zheng, it's been a long time!" ”

Lu Cheng had also turned around at this time and found that the person who came was none other than Zheng Yao, who was from the same county as him. And the two literati who followed him, one of whom still had some impressions of himself, was a student of the county school, Brother Jumping Jiang...... Uh, no, it's Brother Yue Jiang.

Through the light on the shore, he could clearly perceive that after Zheng Yao saw him, his eyebrows were inadvertently raised, and the smile on his face also paused for a moment.

Zheng Yao quickly came back to his senses, the corners of his lips hooked up a smile again, and he arched his hand to Lu Cheng: "Isn't this the head of the Lu case?" I have admired the daimyo for a long time! ”

"Yes, I have been looking up to the name of the head of the Lu case for a long time, do you still remember the head of the Lu case?" Yue Jiang also greeted Lu Cheng with a smile.

Lu Cheng knew that Zheng Yao still cared about him, and he could taste some flavor from his tone alone. He didn't have much affection for this person, but the other party said hello, and he should return the salute out of courtesy, so he also bowed his hand to the two of them.

"Lu's head? Are you the head of the Lu case? ”

The other person next to Zheng Yao had never seen Lu Cheng, so it would not be strange to have such a reaction. After all, Lu Cheng is now famous, and he can be called a genius in Kaifeng Mansion.

After standing on the shore for a while, Zuo Guoji's friend also arrived, and after his introduction, Lu Cheng also greeted the two of them, and they knew each other.

At the moment, several people were waiting to board the ship, but they didn't want Zheng Yao to suddenly propose that they wanted to travel with Lu Cheng and others.

Zuo Guoji and Zheng Yao can only be regarded as acquaintances, and their friendship is not deep. However, he guessed that Zheng Yao should be rushing to Lu Cheng's face to make this request, so he looked at Lu Cheng and asked the other party to come up with an idea.

Lu Cheng didn't have any opinion on this, anyway, the boat hired by Zuo Guoji was not small, and these people could still sit down. This is a big holiday, there is no need to refute the face of a person of the same year.

The group got into the boat, and the boatman rowed the boat around the center of the lake before stopping.

In the middle of the lake, near the pavilion, there are many large boats, and further on the periphery are some small and medium-sized boats.

The atmosphere here was equally lively, and Lu Cheng and the others sat in the cabin and started the program in this small circle.

At first, everyone was chatting, and after drinking a glass of water, they began to pair each other. The pair is relatively simple, as long as the battle is neat, the eight-strand text pays attention to the dual sentence, and the literati will do this.

These days, Lu Cheng has also slowly learned to drink, not to pour a glass like at the beginning.

In fact, at this time, all the rice wine sold on the market was not high, and the highest was about 20 degrees, if it was Lu Cheng's body in his previous life, it would not be easy to get drunk.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the alcohol content was even lower, generally about 10 degrees. It is precisely because of this that Li Bai can drink it to the death, and there is the famous sentence of "Li Baidou Wine Poems".

Distilled liquor is also available at this time, but it is rarely sold, and some people have it at home, but this kind of soju is very energetic, and it is only drunk by strong men who work hard.

Most of the literati drank rice wine, so there is a saying that "yellow soup is poured".

After a few glasses of water and wine, and several people finished a round of pairs, Zheng Yao suddenly proposed: "It coincides with the autumn evening, such a beautiful day, I am waiting here to enjoy the moon, why don't we each write a poem, or fill in a poem?" ”
