"The rice fragrant millet is ripe in the twilight of autumn, and Tian Mo is vertical and horizontal, and the ...... is ten thousand acres" Liu Nian chanted these two sentences, and everyone felt that it was not bad after listening to it, Liu Pingshan also looked up at Liu Nian in surprise, and said in his heart, Could it be that the old man usually underestimated the second child? Judging from these two poems, he still has some talent. It seems that if he is strictly disciplined in the future, he may not be able to succeed.

But Liu Nian chanted these two sentences, and began to scratch his ears and cheeks and couldn't go on, he racked his brains just now to make up four lines of poetry, and he forgot which predecessor's poem he was imitating, but in public, he was so anxious and nervous, and he forgot all the last two sentences, what should he do?

Yang Qi looked at Liu Nian's impatient and ugly cold sweat with a smile, Liu Pingshan felt that his face was dull and embarrassed, and he stared at Liu Nian with his eyes, so anxious that his palms were sweating.

Yang Xueruo glanced at Liu Nian contemptuously and lowered her head again.

The corners of Zhou Chang's mouth flickered, and he said in his heart, "Do you dare to compete with Lao Tzu in the mall? It's a complete self-inflicted humiliation!

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone looked at Liu Junshou's face, and they were embarrassed to laugh and coax, allowing Liu Nian to stand there and grab the back of his head in a daze.

A hint of a smile crossed the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth, and he reached out boredly and gently stroked and wiped the gorgeous scabbard of the broken sword on the desk with his sleeve.

Ahem! Liu Pingshan gritted his teeth and cleared his throat, eager to step forward and kick Liu Nian off the field.

Liu Nian stomped his feet, blushed and muttered: "Forget and forget, I forgot the back, make Lord Jun, and let me go back and think about it slowly, I will definitely be able to figure out the back." ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh anymore.

Liu Pingshan snorted coldly: "Get down, don't be embarrassed here!" ”

Yang Qi laughed: "Liu Jiaxian's nephew, don't be in a hurry, you go back and think slowly, if you can come up with any wonderful sentences, it is still your ability." ”

Liu Nian hurriedly bowed to Yang Qi and turned around in embarrassment. Because he turned around too fast, his body balance was not mastered well, and he almost fell. Seeing this, Kong Sheng couldn't help but let out a chuckle, and gently flicked the scabbard with the ring finger of his left hand, letting out a low buzzing sound.

Liu Nian's footsteps faltered, he raised his head and glared at Kong Sheng and said in a low voice: "Kong Sheng, what are you laughing at?" ”

Kong Sheng raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Don't laugh at anything, Liu Gongzi, please go!" ”

If it is someone else, if he is ugly in public, he will definitely have no shame to make any more trouble. But Liu Nian is a hot-tempered, bold and reckless gentleman, as the second son of the Liu County Shou family in Jiangning County, who is second only to the Yang family in power, these people present, except for Yang Qi, he is not afraid of anyone at all.

"Kong Sheng, you soft bastard and wait for Lao Tzu! You wait! Liu Nian was ruthless in a low voice, his face was hideous and vicious, if it weren't for Liu Pingshan who couldn't stand it anymore and strode over to block him, Liu Nian would dare to splash openly.

Yang Qi frowned.

For the Liu family, he can't look down on it in his heart. But after all, he is Liu Pingshan's son, and he has to take care of the face of this important subordinate.

Liu Pingshan reprimanded Liu Nian softly with great embarrassment, turned around and bowed deeply to Yang Qi and said, "Lord Jun, the dog is stubborn, and the subordinate officials are negligent in discipline, so ashamed!" ”

Yang Qi smiled: "Liu Nianxian's nephew is also a man of temperament, young and vigorous, and he doesn't care. Okay, which scholar still has poetry to recite, please come forward! ”

Yang Qi said this, but his eyes were fixed on Kong Sheng alone. But Kong Sheng lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes indifferently, he made up his mind not to participate in this boring literary test anymore, and it doesn't matter who he is the leader, and who wins the lottery.

Seeing that Kong Sheng refused to come forward, Yang Qi was very unhappy. If Kong Sheng didn't write poems, wouldn't he let Zhou Chang take the lead, so wouldn't the wonderful orchid he doted on cheapen this kid?

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Xueruo's mouth, she faintly guessed Kong Sheng's intentions, and she also lost interest in continuing to watch this banquet in her heart, and was about to leave quietly, but she heard Zhou Peng, another scholar from the Yixing Zhou family, get up and said loudly: "Kong Xiaolang, Zhou has heard that your talent is famous, and now the banquet set up by Lord Jun himself, we are all offering poems one by one to help the fun, why are you silent?" ”

Kong Sheng's heart moved when he heard this, and he knew that the "main meal" was starting to be served, and this week Peng took the initiative to "make trouble", which was nothing more than a prelude.

Kong Sheng clenched his fists indifferently and replied lightly: "This Brother Zhou has won the award, Kong is only a shallow learner, and he really doesn't dare to show his ugliness in front of all the adults!" ”

Zhou Peng immediately sneered: "If the people in this world who deceive the world and steal their fame are like carp crossing the river, Zhou believes that the Confucian family is not like this." However, the so-called elders' lives do not dare to resign--so that the king, the county guard, and all the adults are all in front of you, if you have real talent and real learning, you should not push back! ”

Everyone understands that Zhou Peng's "provocation" was at the instigation of his own master Zhou An, but he was a young generation of scholars, and he used Wen to meet friends at the banquet to compete with each other, so naturally he was not as scrupulous as Zhou An, including Yang Qi, it was not good to interfere too much.

"You must know that this literary banquet competition has made Lord Jun have an examination school to choose a son-in-law. If the Kong family is not true, how can he be worthy of Miss Yang, who is both talented and beautiful? Zhou Peng said again: "Do you say yes or no?" ”

"Yes!"

"Exactly!"

Many young scholars coaxed one after another.

Seeing that a literary banquet was deliberately led by ill-intentioned people into a criticism meeting specifically aimed at Kong Sheng, Yang Xueruo was angry, and a trace of anger appeared on her delicate face, she couldn't hold back and was about to come forward to speak for Ailang, but was stopped by a serious look from her father.

Seeing that his "boredom" was mistaken for "weak-heartedness" by Zhou Peng and others, and aimed the spearhead of the attack at himself, Kong Sheng never took it to heart at all, he smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said lightly: "Brother Zhou Chang Zhou's poems are excellent, Kong is ashamed of himself, and he is willing to recommend Brother Zhou as the leader of this literary meeting!" ”

No matter how these people provoked and squeezed with words, Kong Sheng just refused to take the bait, not only did he not fight back angrily, but generously admitted that he was inferior to Zhou Chang, which surprised many people present.

Zhou Chang was stunned, and subconsciously looked at his father Zhou An.

Zhou An's eyes flashed a touch of gloom, he observed from the side today, and saw that Kong Sheng was calm, impatient, and quiet, and there was no impulse and immaturity of young people at all, which made Zhou Ansheng vigilant, and at this time, he began to face and face Zhang Sheng, and had to admit that in terms of heart and calmness, his son Zhou Chang was too much worse than Kong Sheng.

Zhou An let out a sigh of relief and waved his hands behind his back.

Zhou Chang gritted his teeth, resolutely got up and walked into the middle of the field and bowed to Yang Qi and the others: "Lord Jun, my lords, Zhou Chang thinks that Kong Sheng, no matter how talented he is, is actually unworthy of being an official, let alone matching Miss Yang, and I hope that my lord will take back his life!" ”

Instructed Zhou Chang to choose to make a move at this moment, which can be regarded as Zhou An's cunning. If Yang Qi had previously announced the establishment of a two-year contract, the Zhou family would immediately raise objections, which would undoubtedly make Yang Qi unable to step down, and there was a huge risk of turning his face and denying people on the spot.

The audience was silent, some people were snickering, some were frowning, some were sneering, and of course, some people were secretly upset for Kong Sheng.

Yang Qi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Chang, why did you say this? Do you want to question the decision of the Officer? ”
