Chapter 40: Falling Red is not a ruthless thing
On the largest painting boat on the lake, more than a dozen people are talking and laughing!
Sitting on the main seat in the middle is Zhu Youyi, the king of Heng in Qingzhou, and the first to accompany him is Xu Ziqing, the prefect of Qingzhou, Cui Ye, the head of the Cui family, and other high-ranking officials and gentry in Qingzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In front of everyone, there is a small table, on which there are some seasonal fruits, delicate snacks and delicious food and wine! Everyone was laughing and talking about Fengyue, while tasting the relatively high-quality poems sent by the servants of the Cui family.
In the middle of the crowd, a beautiful woman dressed in a water-blue palace dress was playing the guzheng on the low case, and the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" was melodious and tactful.
There is another graceful dancer dancing, the dancer is wearing a purple flowing color dark flower brocade palace dress, the cuffs are embroidered with several delicate lifelike purple lotus, the upper of the shoe is also embroidered with a large piece of lotus leaves, the lotus step moves lightly, the purple lotus appears frequently, the dance is really step by step lotus, the beauty is indescribable.
At this time, the poetry club has also entered the high ~ tide, and there are constantly excellent works sent to the painting boat.
A servant of the Cui family took the two poems that had just been copied and handed them to Zheng Huai, the mountain chief of Songlin Academy.
Zheng Shanchang took the paper and looked at it, it was a poem written by Jiang Jie, a famous genius in Qingzhou, who sang about peach blossoms, and said with a smile: "Yo, this Jiang Jie's poem is quite reasonable, let's give it a review." ”
Zheng Huai, the head of Songlin Academy, is the most respected Confucian in Qingzhou, and he was also born in Jinshi. Zheng Shanchang's poems are also excellent, and the servants sent them all to him first, and then he took them out for everyone to appreciate if he thought they were good.
Zheng Shanchang chanted the song "Qingyu Case" softly:
"The peach blossoms bloom a few times, and the years are difficult to return. At night, the meteor flew in the ears, the moon was bright, and the smoke dissipated.
The plum blossom case in the cloud screen mirror, the wind curtain under the corridor is shocking. The meditation can be halved, the blood in the heart, the autumn fan at the fingertips, if only as first seen. ”
Most of the people thought it was very good.
"Yes, the artistic conception is quiet, the words are smooth, this Jiang Jie has the name of a talented man, and his skills are good, it seems that he is not in vain!"
Of course, there are also picky ones.
"This title says it's the peach blossom of the song, but this poem does say plum blossoms, which seems to be a deviation from the title!"
"This word is really well written, the scene is beautiful, allegorical in the scene, not pretentious, especially the last sentence, 'if only as first seen', the artistic conception is far-reaching, very good! However, there seems to be a suspicion of plagiarizing the words of "Magnolia Flower Order", which has recently become popular, called "If life is only as first seen"! ”
Everyone tasted it, of course, whether it was good or bad, Jiang Jie's name appeared in the minds of all the nobles, leaving some impressions, Jiang Jie's visit to the poetry meeting today was considered a success.
At this time, Zheng Shanchang took a piece of paper, on which was written a song "Fixing the Storm", and said with a smile: "Huang Chengtao in our academy also made a poem, and it was written in a calm and leisurely manner, with a good artistic conception, let's evaluate it." ”
"A few village buildings and a few fields, clear streams and flowing water are better than peach springs. The white-haired and yellow-haired returned to the wild path, idle, and the insects sang low into the cooking smoke.
Idle to watch the spring flowers and autumn butterflies old, cool and good, the residual sun is like drunk in the western sky. See the amorous Qin and Han moons again, round and missing, silently still hanging on the side of the old mountain. ”
When everyone heard about the students of Songlin Academy, they were naturally embarrassed to pick on the thorns again, and couldn't help but praise each other.
Zheng Shanchang smiled and said: "This Huang Chengtao, this kid is a little talented, but writing this leisurely and elegant word is just a disease-free moan~ groan!" At most, this word can be regarded as a work of Zhongping, and it is not a masterpiece! ”
"Famous teachers produce high apprentices, this word is the best work in today's poetry meeting, Zheng Lao is too modest."
…………
Zhu Youyi, the king of Heng, who was sitting at the head of the chairman, picked up his glass at this time and said: "Qingzhou Mansion is really an outstanding person, the prosperity of Qingzhou Mansion ~ the whole flow of the whole battle is a great achievement, Qingzhou has a lot of luck, Daming has a lot of luck!" Come, everyone, drink to win! ”
Everyone hurriedly raised their wine glasses and shouted together.
After drinking and chatting for a while, the Cui family servant sent a copy of the poem.
Zheng Shanchang picked up the paper and looked at it, couldn't help but shout hello, looked up at Liu Chengfu's father Liu Rui and said: "Liu Gongjiao's good son, this song "Yonghua Lin Tuan" is really wonderful, it has won the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, it is tranquil and leisurely, and the writing is brilliant, and it deserves to be a masterpiece!" Saying that, Zheng Shanchang read out Liu Chengfu's seven-law poem "Yonghua Lin Tuan" aloud.
Everyone is a person who knows the goods, this poem is really well written, and it gives Liu Rui face, and he can't help but applaud.
Liu Rui clasped hands and saluted everyone: "Everyone has won the award, this kid deserves to be praised by everyone!" His poems are also disease-free moaning~ groaning, don't take it seriously, a good reader, not seeking progress, but learning from a hermit, if he really dares to do that, I have to repair him, haha! ”
The crowd laughed too.
Zheng Shanchang flipped through another piece of paper, took a look, and couldn't help but "Huh", this seven-unique poem is also very good, it has a different taste, and Zheng Shanchang said: "The vast and sorrowful day is slanting, and the whip points to the end of the world." Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers. ”
Except for Zhu Youyi, the king of Heng, most of the people on the painting boat are not young. There are all people with younger generations, and even the youngest Zhu Youyi has children, and when he heard this sentence "Luohong is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers", I couldn't help but feel emotional.
Yes, the peach blossoms withered and turned into spring mud, but they nourished the peach trees so that the peach blossoms bloomed more vigorously in the coming year. How can people not be like this, they are old, like peach blossoms that are about to wither, but they still have to work hard for their children and grandchildren, trying to leave a greater foundation for their children and grandchildren. Using things as a metaphor for people, this poem is indeed very emotional.
"Who wrote this poem?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Shanchang looked at the signature on the paper, but it was only signed by Shen Ze, and he did not write his identity, thinking that he had no fame. For those who have meritorious fame, the metropolitan department will be signed by a certain branch of Xiucai or a certain person of the imperial examination.
Zheng Lao smiled and said to everyone: "This genius's name is Shen Ze, I think he is a white body, not very famous, but this little poem is well written!" ”
When everyone heard the name, they couldn't help but shake their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.
Although Shen Ze is now a celebrity in the mouth of the people of Qingzhou, the legendary yin and yang god who can open the eyes of heaven and detain the soul, but all the dignitaries and gentry present obviously disdain and will not pay attention to the folk gossip rumors, because no one knows Shen Ze's name.
When the prefect Xu Ziqing heard Shen Ze's name, he couldn't help but turn pale.
There was an old man among the crowd who said: "The talented man who gave Yunzhuxuan's top brand Yueqiao girl a wonderful word of 'life is only as first seen', isn't it called Shen Ze?" ”
Speaking is the old man who just pointed out the "If it is only as first seen" in the poem "Qingyu Case", and is suspected of plagiarizing Shen Ze's "Magnolia Flower Order". The old man's surname is Feng, his name is Yin, and the Feng family is also a famous big family in Qingzhou. His youngest son often goes in and out of Yunzhuxuan, and often hears Miss Yueqiao playing and singing this word, so he also likes this word very much, and he also knows that the author of this word is called Shen Ze. Ma Yin only learned about it by hearing his son talk about it by chance.
Hengwang Zhu Youyi smiled and said: "I have also heard the song "Magnolia Flower Order", it is written very poignantly and beautifully, it seems that this talented man is also quite talented!" ”
Governor Xu Ziqing heard His Royal Highness King Heng praise Shen Ze, and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness doesn't know, this Shen Ze is just a scholar who doesn't want to make progress!" This scholar was originally a talent from a county school, but because of his bad conduct, he was reported to the Department of Education by the lower officials and was dismissed. Now it is said that this tired scholar often lingers in the green ~ building, does not want to forge ahead, and does some lewd ~ words all day long, grandstanding. ”
Zhang Zhixian got up and saluted Zhu Youyi when he heard this: "Back to Your Highness, this Shen Ze is now the master of the lower officials, but he is quite effective, as far as the lower officials know, this Shen Ze has no bad deeds!" ”
"The word 'falling red' in this poem, if it is not an obscene ~ word, what is it? His word was also given to the famous prostitute of Qing~Lou, isn't it lingering Qing~Lou what? ”
This is a bit of a strong word, but there is some truth in it. Everyone may know that this falling red refers to the falling peach blossoms, but who dares to guarantee that Shen Ze's words and sentences in this poem are not inspired by the "falling red" left behind when the Qing people in the green ~ building were combed!
Zhang Zhixian saw that Xu Zhifu's gaze was very cold and hesitant slightly. But in the end, he still opened his mouth to defend Shen Ze, and by the way, he talked about the two cases that Shen Ze found out and came up with the wonderful method of using a water wheel to climb the mountain and get water in three layers, to prove that Shen Ze is indeed not only a talent, but also a talent!
Zhang Zhixian was not on good terms with Xu Zhifu, but this kind of contradiction to Xu Zhifu in public was unique. However, although Zhang Zhixian is governed by the Xu Governor's Mansion, as long as he is not caught by the Xu Governor's Mansion, it is not easy for the Xu Governor's Mansion to control him. Besides, Zhang Zhixian is also a backer in the court.
Zhang Zhixian knew that Shen Ze was a talent, and sooner or later he would not be in the pool, and he had promised Shen Ze to help him restore his fame as much as possible, because he saw that His Royal Highness King Heng appreciated him, so he spoke for Shen Ze, which was also an investment.
As for the relationship with Governor Xu, anyway, he was not on good terms with himself, so he simply spread it out directly and put the contradictions in the open, which may not be all bad! The contradiction is put on the bright side, at least if Governor Xu wants to rectify himself, he still has to worry about Shilin's comments!
Moreover, the son of Governor Xu lingered in the Qing~ Building so that he didn't move, and he also got the flower willow, which had already ruined the reputation of Governor Xu, and he would not dare to do anything that damaged his reputation easily.
Hengwang Zhu Youyi listened to Zhang Zhixian talk about Shen Ze, but nodded frequently, but he didn't praise Shen Ze again, he had to save a lot of face for Xu Zhifu!
At this time, Shen Ze was chatting with Liu Chengfu, and he didn't know that Zhang Zhixian and Xu Zhifu were fighting openly and secretly around him on the painting boat!
