The sky gradually darkened, on the Xiaoyaojin painting boat, the poetry meeting of the soft incense pavilion was ready, and many talented students and teachers came to the painting boat one after another, including Zhu Yunming and Zhuo Hanyang, who were seen in Xiao Mo in Shen County last time, but in the Yushan Academy, they did not see Deng Ying, one of the four great talents in Luzhou. 【&n】

Xiao Mo and Gongsun Huan stood together, but their thoughts drifted to the second floor of the painting boat, in Zhao He's private room.

When Xiao Mo went to see Zhao He in the afternoon, he met some soldiers who got orders from Zhao He, and then Xiao Mo went to ask for a meeting, but was stopped at the door.

The guards of the palace did not report at all, saying that the prince was now seeing a distinguished guest, and no one was seen!

Guest? Could it be Hu Yunxue?

Xiao Mo guessed, but Xiao Mo was not worried about Zhao He's purpose of inviting Hu Yunxue there, after all, Hu Yunxue's current identity is a man, and he is not afraid that Zhao He will treat Hu Yunxue badly, besides, the private room is full of female dependents of the palace, even if Zhao He sees through Hu Yunxue's identity, he will not do anything to her.

What Xiao Mo is worried about is that if Hu Yunxue offends Zhao He, or if she collides with the county lord, she will be questioned by Zhao He, so it will be a little troublesome.

In Zhao He's eyes, Xiao Mo is just a small official, he doesn't need to look at it at all, and only in front of Zhou Chang can Xiao Mo say a few words.

Poetry will begin at nightfall, and meetings like this are rarely absent unless there is something really inseparable.

First of all, the banquet, Xiao Moman calculated, there were almost a dozen tables, and fortunately, thanks to the large hand of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion, this painting boat could accommodate so many people to hold a party.

As the prince, Zhao He was in charge, and sat above the chief with Zhu Xiuzhi and Zhou Chang, facing the other tables.

Activities such as poetry meetings and gatherings are generally very lively, and this time is no exception, after Zhao He, Zhou Chang and Zhu Xiuzhi toasted and gave speeches respectively, it was the time for the talents at each table to drink and eat by themselves.

Xiao Mo came to participate in the poetry meeting on behalf of the mountain chief of Shenxian County, so he was arranged to sit with the five counties and four courtyards plus the three bigwigs.

The five counties refer to the mountain chiefs of the five counties under the rule of Luzhou, and the four courtyards refer to the mountain chiefs of the four major academies in Luzhou, plus Zhao He, the king of Huaiyin, Zhou Chang, the prefect, and Zhu Xiuzhi, the teacher of Luzhou students, there are exactly 12 people, sitting on a large round table.

There are twelve people at a table, all middle-aged and elderly men, Xiao Mo is the youngest, and he sits at the bottom of the table, so that it doesn't look so weird.

The food and drinks on the table are also very rich, but it is really difficult to eat.

In ancient times, poetry meetings were generally carried out for a long time, and sometimes they would stay up all night, so you must have enough food and drink, otherwise you will let people come to the poetry meeting, and then you will not be able to eat enough, and you will not be hungry for a night.

But the wine on the poetry club is enough, this dish, there is also it, but there is only this chance at the beginning, after the dish is cold, there will be people from the kitchen to close, leaving only the wine, then it will be difficult for you to eat again.

It's not that people are reluctant to drink and eat, the reason is very simple, during the time when the dishes are not cold, you can eat enough, and you can add if you are not enough. If the dish comes up and you can't eat it, then you have no ability.

Such a rule also surprised Xiao Mo, he glanced at Zhou Chang and Zhao He, and he didn't know who came up with such an idea, let the talents at each table drink and fight for food, those who win will be full, and those who lose will only be hungry.

This attention is indeed brutal, but in front of the king of Huaiyin and the prefect, no one dares to say anything, and they refuse to go hungry, so they can only compete with the people at the same table.

No wonder the students from all counties and academies are all diverging to sit at the table, thinking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but sweat for Gongsun Huan and the three of them.

Let's hope they'll be well fed tonight!

Xiao Mo prayed in his heart, and then began to eat and drink without conscience, of course, in front of Zhao He, Xiao Mo would also take care of the eating appearance, to be a little gentle, but to eat a lot!

The dishes quickly cooled, but the wine and food on Zhao He's table were not put away, and after the kitchen people took back the dishes from the other tables, it was time for the poetry meeting.

The title is Zhao He, six words 'moonlit night', 'flowing water', 'poetry meeting'!

Although the purpose of this poetry meeting is to inspect the students of Luzhou, it is impossible for Zhao He to go to something related to the imperial examination on such an occasion as the poetry meeting, so he uses the title of "Moonlit Night Flowing Water Poetry Meeting".

The difficulty of this topic is not great, there are many things to write about the 'month' and 'night' itself, as well as flowing water and poetry meetings, which should be appropriate to the situation, I believe it will be difficult for this talent!

As soon as the topic came out, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the poetry club does not require everyone to be able to write it, it is of course a good thing to have a good work, and it doesn't hurt if you can't do it, but the students all know that if you can write a poem according to the title, no matter whether it is good or bad, at least it is much stronger than not being able to move the pen.

After finishing the topic, Zhou Chang ordered to prepare the four treasures of the study room for the students and began to compose poems.

The scene of dozens of people holding brushes to compose poems together can only be seen at this poetry meeting held by Zhou Chang.

There is no way, all the students here are from Luzhou, and Zhou Chang wants to understand the atmosphere of some Luzhou students in order to take the test, so he came up with a few bad moves.

Of course, the poetry club can't be as rigorous as the examination room, and the students can still communicate with each other.

In fact, Zhou Chang also knew that the title of this poetry meeting would still fall on the heads of the four great talents of Luzhou.

After all, the four great talents are recognized, and the four talents have their own strengths, among which the poems of Deng Ying of Yushan Academy and the words of Guo Teng of Ruoshui Academy are slightly better than the other two, so Deng Ying and Guo Teng often show up in various poetry meetings, but this time Deng Ying is missing, and it seems that this title is basically Guo Teng's.

Taking advantage of the time for the students to compose poems, Zhao He glanced at the Confucian scholars in front of him, and then laughed loudly: "The poetry club originally asked you to be prodigal, why are you so restrained?" ”

Xiao Mo thought to himself, with your old man here, can everyone be unrestrained?

Thinking about it, of course Xiao Mo didn't dare to say it, at this time, Zhu Xiuzhi's reputation played a role, and he said: "Everyone speak freely, let's say a few words about this poetry meeting!" ”

This meant to open up the way of speech, and in the An Dynasty, there were very few people who were convicted for their speech, except of course for those who opposed the imperial court.

"That's right!" Zhao He nodded and said: "Zhu Lao is right, this king has heard for a long time that there are four talented people in Luzhou, who are endowed with poetry and experience, each with their own strengths, and almost occupies the top spot of the poetry club, I don't know who will win the first place this time?" ”
