Chapter 384: Not being able to eat grapes is sour

Compared with the two, Liu Chang's side really looks a little too shabby. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

An old Confucian beside Liu Chang couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic, so he scolded very angrily: "Isn't it just a scientific examination, hum." It's really the thunder of the yellow bell destroying the clay kettle. A coarse posterity actually made me wait for such humiliation. ”

In fact, this old Confucian was only angry for a while, but it also expressed the thoughts of many old Confucians here. Many of them had disciples who failed in this year's scientific examination, and when they heard this person speak, they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement. There were more people who agreed, and they slowly gained momentum, so that even though these people were far away from Luo Yan, they were still heard by Luo Yan's side.

Sitting in front of Luo Yan was a person from Guozixue, and Yao Silian couldn't help but look at Luo Yan with some worry. Shaking his head, he motioned for Luo Yan to bear with it.

However, how could Luo Yan be the kind of person who could endure it. Looking up at the empty position above the main seat, he glanced at the crystal full purple grapes in the jade plate, looked at Liu Chang pointedly, and then sighed intentionally or unintentionally: "Alas, if you can't eat grapes, you think grapes are sour." Not to mention, this saliva is going to flow out. Thinking about the scene of eating grapes that day, I am really a fickle person. ”

Being able to eat grapes this November is indeed a very luxurious thing. But a colt like Luo Yan is also stained with the light of Changle, how can he not eat it at this time. So, there must be something else to this.

Maybe many people in Shilin want to give Liu Chang face. But there are also people who don't pay attention to him at all. They were smart enough to naturally hear Luo Yan's words, and they were ready to watch the show for a long time, and they immediately talked to each other.

"Yes, the last time I ate grapes was during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Come to think of it, three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Alas, just two months ago, someone said that grapes were sweet. "None of them are stupid to be invited here. At this time, following Luo Yan's words, he actually hooked up the matter that Liu Chang took the initiative to fight in the ring that day. What does it mean that two months ago, someone said that grapes were sweet, which clearly meant that Liu Chang was still lecturing for scientific research at that time.

Such sarcastic words made Liu Chang's faces turn red for a while.

But there have always been many people who fall into the well. When they were still ashamed, someone then laughed and said: "Don't say that you can't eat it now, even if you eat it, you have to dislike it for a few seeds." Alas, if there were seedless grapes in the world to feed to the mouth, the taste would not be faster. ”

This is clearly to say that a few of the old Confucians who were angry just now did not do well because of the small size of the recruited officials.

"You ......" Immediately several people stood up and pointed to the person who spoke, their faces annoyed, but they could not speak. If you say something more at this time, won't you admit it yourself? So I can only sit down angrily.

And Luo Yan made up the knife in time: "This brother wants to eat seedless grapes, but it is not impossible." However, if you want someone to feed you, you should go to your own maid. When the official's hat falls from the sky, the head of the person will stick out. ”

The man happily bowed his hand to Luo Yan: "I have heard for a long time that the Duke of Chengguo is quite miraculous with Nongsang, and it seems that it will not be long before I will have a good mouth." ”

At this time, several people completely ignored the anger of Liu Chang and others, and instead began to discuss the taste of grapes with relish.

Liu Chang and these people stayed or left, sitting there awkwardly, glaring angrily at the few people who were talking and laughing with Luo Yan.

Originally, the new scholars also wanted to talk to each other about this, and get to know a few more important ministers of the DPRK and the central government by the way, so that they could also make their future careers smoother. But after Liu Chang and Luo Yan made such a fuss, they became more and more embarrassed. Although they are nominally the protagonists of today's banquet, which one of them here is not their predecessors. If you really want to turn a blind eye, you will really be despised by Shilin.

Luo Yan was just a casual counterattack at first, but now he took advantage of it, and after discovering the embarrassment of the Jinshi, he took the lead in stopping the discussion. Then I felt that if I continued to stay here, I was afraid that the atmosphere would become more and more awkward. So after thinking about it, he sued a few people who were talking, called Sun Qian, Fang Zhizhong and others over, and introduced them to Fang Du and others.

After getting to know each other, while they were talking, they gave up their hands to other places, but quietly withdrew from the Qionglin Palace. Without him as the protagonist, the tearing drama can't be played. In this way, the banquet can be continued. If he really wants to spray with Liu Chang tonight, he is afraid that he will be hated to death by these Jinshi in the future.

At this time, the willow tips on the moon outside the hall are bare, but they still do not affect the brightness of the moonlight. Looking at the crooked crescent moon, Luo Yan smiled, when did he put himself in the position of an old master. Even those who are selected are not necessarily younger than themselves. But he would think about them for the first time.

Shaking his head, Luo Yan strode towards the outside of the palace. Although tonight's banquet is a little short, I can tell Changle the story of not being able to eat grapes and sour grapes. Thinking about it, it will definitely make Changle laugh for a long time. As for the storytelling, from time to time to eat one or two grapes that Changle fed in his mouth, that is his pleasure.

Not to mention how lively the next banquet was, not to mention how Luo Yan tricked Changle Da Lori between the boudoirs. After a night, Chang'an City became more and more lively.

As a kind of fruit, grapes are brought from the Western Regions from the Han Dynasty and wild grapes produced locally. Compared with the slightly sour wild grapes, the grapes of the Western Regions that can be bought in the market today are naturally sweeter. The people of Chang'an have more or less eaten grapes, so the taste is naturally clear. Luo Yan's description last night, as soon as it spread, immediately caused widespread dissemination.

Originally, some Confucian scholars were a little criticized for Liu Chang and these people being invited - they were the ones who bragged and scolded people at the beginning, and now they are the ones who can still participate in the banquet after being slapped in the face. For readers who don't miss the slightest chance to become famous, this is not convincing. No, Liu Chang continued to be slapped in the face by Luo Yan at the Qionglin banquet, and he still did it by himself, how could these people not jump out and interpret it.

Originally, this sour ridicule could only be understood but not spoken, and only those who attended the banquet last night knew how powerful this sentence was. But now, many literati have interpreted this sentence one after another, and even more, they have used the technique of spraying Confucius in "Han Feizi", and they directly use fables. Stories such as "The Fox Who Said the Sour Grapes" came into being.

Liu Chang and the others were already slapped in the face by Luo Yan badly, but now slapping them in the face has become a national activity, which makes them embarrassed. Mr. Liu turned out to be a mouthful of old blood and couldn't afford to get out of bed.

And the initiator, Luo Yan, was talking leisurely with Mr. Yao Silian in Guozixue at this time.

Mr. Yao was really a little surprised, because the things that Luo Yan proposed did speak to his heart.

Luo Yan is talking about the students of Guozi School who go out to study around the New Year and in the late summer and early autumn. To put it bluntly, it is to change the time and vacation time of today's holidays, and assign tasks to students. The proposal is quite fresh, but there are also things that Yao Silian is quite familiar with.

Although Yao Silian has not traveled, his father has traveled to many places in his youth. Yao Silian's family even treasures his father's handwritten notes of traveling around the world. Although he is now known as a great Confucian, many times he feels that he is not as good as his father. Therefore, as soon as Luo Yan said it, Yao Silian couldn't stop nodding.

Seeing this, Luo Yan asked happily: "So, this matter is settled?" ”

Yao Silian smiled bitterly: "Where is it so simple, do you think that if your suggestion is good, it will definitely be adopted." After all, this is a change in the practice of Guozixue, and it is necessary to ask His Majesty for instructions, and even if His Majesty agrees, it will need to be discussed by many masters and sons. In this way, I am afraid that it will depend on the situation at that time. ”

In fact, this kind of is not only in the officialdom, the more crowded it is in such a crowded place with a high IQ, the easier it is to occur. The master of Guozixue is so smart, all of them are pretentious, and they can easily be decided by others. Even if Luo Yan's proposal is indeed pragmatic in Yao Silian's opinion, some masters may say that it is flashy.

However, it is not easy to get Yao Silian's approval, and Luo Yan is not greedy.

Hearing this, Luo Yan nodded, and said, "As long as Gong Yao can report to His Majesty." ”

Yao Silian pointed at Luo Yan and scolded with a smile: "You are trying to save trouble, I am an old man who goes back and forth to the palace, but it is a very laborious thing." If there is any problem in the future, you should go directly to Your Majesty. Just let me know when the time comes. Yao Silian knew that the reason why Luo Yan was so lazy was completely because of his identity as a sacrificial wine. Elsewhere, this kid would have already consulted with Li Shimin.
