Chapter 016: The Bird's Ambition?

This is a small shop specializing in wontons, and the taste is the most authentic, and Hangzhou locals know it. Of course, there is not only such a food, wontons with soup, and you can also serve with some butter cakes, a famous local snack in Hangzhou.

The origin of the name of the ghee cake is said to have originated from the great poet Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was originally supposed to be called "cloth cake", and later evolved into ghee cake because of the homonym. This cake is layered and silky, crispy and loose, very popular with Hangzhou locals, and is also a must-have snack in major restaurants.

Since Li Qian came in, the business in the store has gradually become lively, and the remaining seats are soon filled, and the last people who come to see that there are no seats outside the store, so they can only find seats with fewer people to share tables.

At this time, it was noon, and most of the people who came here to eat were literati dressed in green shirts, and their clothes looked very simple, and they were all children of poor families.

Like Li Qian, who came with a maid and the two sassy boys behind him, they are obviously very eye-catching in this small shop, and they have a taste of standing out from the crowd.

The two people behind him are okay, at least they look relatively normal, and it is relatively rare for Li Qian to let the maid serve the table like this. Soon, the topics of discussion in private were concentrated on him, and no one could recognize his identity for a while.

The two sisters sat a little uncomfortable and looked a little restrained, but when they looked at Li Qian, he just smiled back gently, signaling them not to care about the eyes of others.

Bao'er mysteriously came over and whispered in her second uncle's ear, "Uncle, they are all talking about you." ”

Li Qian then remembered that there was a little guy at this table, so he lowered his voice and instructed him: "If grandpa asks after I go back, I will only say what I should say, don't talk nonsense, understand?" ”

The little guy is very smart, and immediately nodded knowingly, and assured in an adult tone: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut!" This matter can come out of your mouth, into my ears, God knows, you know I know------"

The three of them were all happy, Li Qian smiled and nodded the little head with his finger, and scolded with a smile: "What is this, you won't eavesdrop on adults at home, right?" ”

"Oops, I didn't!"

Bao'er woke up immediately, opened a pair of innocent big eyes, shook her head very seriously, and then leaned into Li Qian's ear and said, "Uncle, it's okay for me to keep it secret, but you have to take me out to play next time." ”

"Okay------" Li Qian nodded with a smile.

------

The focus of discussion in the small shop soon shifted from Li Qian's letting the maid serve the table to Li Zhongqing, ------ who has been in the limelight recently. What everyone didn't know was that the Lord of their discussions was sitting right under their noses.

Li Qian didn't pay attention to what others said, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that there are two sides to everything, and there are good ones and bad ones. People who are famous all over the world often slander the whole world, and this seems to have become an iron law.

People are not jealous of mediocrity, and they are now a little famous in Hangzhou, which will inevitably make some people blush, especially those pretentious literati, who have to think of ways to belittle themselves.

Otherwise, wouldn't you let yourself be compared?

Literati have been light on each other since ancient times.

He was concentrating on the food in front of him, and when he was halfway through eating, a scholar at the adjacent table suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "That poem is indeed a masterpiece, but it may not come from his Li Qian's hand!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy shop instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes invariably looked at the man, quietly waiting for his next remarks. However, this man seemed to be intent on satisfying everyone's appetite, and after throwing out an astonishing remark, he disappeared and pretended to be deep in front of everyone.

Seeing that he was silent, a scholar couldn't help but stand up, arched his hand towards him and said, "This brother, dare to ask why he said this?" ”

As if pleased with his cooperation, the man smiled back, and then said in a slow tone, "You don't know yet, do you?" Just now, news came out from the Qingfeng Poetry Society, saying that this Li Qian was in name only, and spent a high price to find someone to make a good word, and then he brazenly took it for himself, and for this reason, he also got the Son of Heaven Mobao------"

"There is such a thing! That's what the people from the Qingfeng Poetry Society really said? ”

"Even if it is the news from the Qingfeng Poetry Society, it is true nine times out of ten, I can't imagine that there are such shameless people in our Hangzhou Mansion Shilin------"

"Not really, I think that maybe there is some misunderstanding here, Li Zhongqing is the first ------ of our Zhejiang Township Test."

“------”

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, some doubted Li Qian's talent, and some questioned the news, but they didn't realize that the person they were talking about was right in front of them.

Li Qian frowned slightly, this kind of hearsay thing, some people really believe it. It's too easy to spread rumors in these days, right? Three or two sentences can reverse black and white? Or is this Qingfeng Poetry Society very prestigious in Shilin?

Just when he was confused, someone asked him a more in-depth question. Among the two people behind him, the young man in a fancy costume stood up and asked, "Dare to ask, who in the Qingfeng Poetry Society released the remarks?" ”

"It's the initiator of the Qingfeng Poetry Society, Su Ziyang said it himself."

Wow------

Everyone was in an uproar, this Su Ziyang is indeed a little famous. Ziyang is just his cousin, his name is Su He, and he ranked second in the Hangzhou government college examination the year before last.

This is only one thing, this person not only does a good job in writing, but also rarely surpasses in poetry. It may be just a poem that you can get by hand, and it can be praised by the literati, and everyone says that its poems have the legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties.

However, the man only paused slightly, and then continued: "A few days ago, Brother Ziyang saw Li Qian's ------ with his own eyes, and heard him chant a few deviant and substandard sentences in public. According to Brother Ziyang's own words, Li Qian chanted Zhuangzi's "Getaway" that day, but he changed the sage's classics without permission, and everyone listens to ------"

"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The kun is so big that it can't be stewed in a pot------"

Everyone was stunned.

"Turned into a bird, and its name was Peng. Peng is so big that you need two barbecue grills------"

The crowd was dumbfounded.

This Li Zhongqing, really dare to change, what kind of mess is this?

"In this case, it is really possible to plagiarize other people's words and make ------"

"Isn't it? His essay may be doing well, but poetry is not a subject for the exam------"

"That's right, the people in the Qingfeng Poetry Society are all famous students, if it is groundless, how can it be easily spread and slander him as a two-rank jinshi?"

"I'll just say, what kind of son should be like Li Zhongqing, what is the first talent in Zhejiang, but he is just an opportunist! In my opinion, maybe there was something greasy in last year's township test------"

“------”

After being instigated by well-intentioned people, public opinion brewed and evolved, and finally became a one-sided form. At this moment, everyone stood on the united front, criticizing Li Qian verbally and penally, and severely derogatory.

Zipei's face was not angry, if Li Qian hadn't stopped her with his eyes, I am afraid that she would have jumped up and cursed a long time ago. The little girl pursed her lips and secretly clenched her little fists: "These people are not good things, they scold our young master at every turn, and they are not guilty of pink eye!" ”

Boa is still young and doesn't know much. No matter how smart he is, he can't understand just listening to the words of these people, and he can only hear from their words that he is scolding his uncle.

The Li family's tutor is still good, and the young Bao'er already understands that when adults speak, they can't interject indiscriminately, especially before that, Li Qian also told him not to talk indiscriminately.

"These are bad people, because they're scolding my uncle!"

This is the truest thought in Bao'er's heart, children can't understand many things, they only know who is good to themselves, who is a good person.

As early as when they were talking, Li Qian had already sped up and finished eating the food in front of him. He really didn't bother to pay attention to those people, he just wanted to fill his stomach and leave.

These people are too noisy.

As for the name of Qingfeng Poetry Society, Su Ziyang, Li Qian had some impressions, but he couldn't remember where he met it for a while, but as soon as the revised version of "Getaway" came out, the answer was self-evident.

Su Ziyang------

Isn't it the literati who was on the boat that day, known as "Brother Ziyang"?

Dare to love all this, it is Zhao Peng behind his back to slander himself. It's just that such a little trick doesn't mean much to Li Qian, and it won't do any harm.

It's just a name, what's the use?

"Eat it all, right? Okay, let's go. ”

Li Qian asked, and when he saw a few people nodding, he got up and settled the account and left. As soon as he stepped out of the shop, he heard the words of the boy behind him who was upset for himself.

"------ Li Zhongqing's character, it's not something that you people can talk about wantonly! Oh, use some rumors to slander others and arrange some non-existent things, what qualifications do you have to judge Li Zhongqing? ”

"A group of filthy and filthy villains, one by one backward fanatics, who didn't even get in, dared to demean the two Jinshi? Hmph, a flock of birds, how do you know the ambition of the bird? It's really ridiculous, and it has lost the face of the world's scholars! ”

Li Qian felt a little surprised, and said in his heart that he didn't know this person, so why did he suddenly help himself argue with others------ but this sentence was not very appropriate, and he didn't have any "ambitions".

I didn't think much about it at the moment, shook my head and walked away.

The people behind him exploded, and the noisy remarks of the crowd rising up and attacking spread far and wide------
