Chapter 18: Nanyang Poetry Society (5)

The painting boats of the four buildings in Qingzhou on the Nanyang River are closely connected together, and the painting boats are anchored and stopped steadily, and a tall and gorgeous stage is built on the four boats.

Tonight's Oiran game will be played here. Of course, the Oiran competition is not selected among all the prostitutes in Qingzhou, and if you are a prostitute outside the fourth building of Qingzhou, you are not qualified to perform on this stage. Only the four buildings led by the Qingzhou Fengyue Realm are eligible to select three girls from each family to perform on stage. Otherwise, so many excellent prostitutes in Qingzhou will take turns to take the stage, and it will be time before the selection is finished.

Of course, the other Qinglou will not let go of the opportunity tonight, some of them have two or three consecutive workshops, some of them set up the stage alone, their own red girls singing and dancing, and there are also many painting boats around to watch.

The best place to watch the performance opposite the stage of the fourth building is the six ships of the Qingzhou dignitaries and gentry. The people in this Lianfang are the most famous people in Qingzhou, and they are all people who have the absolute right to speak in Qingzhou. They are either high-ranking officials and nobles, or local gentry, or celebrities and seniors. They judged the quality of the poems very much. And tonight's Oiran Contest, their judgment is also crucial, and their evaluation will ultimately determine the ownership of the Oiran.

Of course, Liu Xu and Ning Hao are not qualified to go to the Six Boats Lianfang, and at this moment they are watching the performance of the fourth building in the Ningjia Painting Boat. And the Ning family painting boat is docked in a good place on the side of the six boats. The top cards of each of the four green buildings will be the final finale. And now they are performing eight other prostitutes, although they are not as famous as the top names, but their art industry is also quite good. The singing is melodious, the dancing is graceful, and the piano sound is tactful, Liu Xu is already a little dizzying.

The song and dance performance has gradually entered the climax, and tonight's poetry meeting has gradually entered the climax, and good poems have been continuously copied to Lianfang. Although the literati who came to participate in the poetry meeting tonight were occasionally indifferent to fame and fortune, most of them still hoped that their poems would be well received by everyone in the community, and that their poems would attract their attention. If you can get the appreciation of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Lianfang, your future imperial examination and career will be beneficial.

On the chairman in the middle of the workshop, there is a small table in front of everyone, and there are some seasonal fruits, delicate snacks and wine and delicacies on the small table, and everyone kneels and sits according to the case. Hu chair and Hu stool have been spread in the Central Plains since the Tang Dynasty, but the upper class and the wealthy families have not been able to promote it, and the wealthy families themselves have their inheritance and pride. Therefore, in the upper-class elegant gathering, everyone still sits on their knees with a small number of cases. There were about a dozen people sitting on the chairman, and these dozen or so people were basically the most powerful people in Qingzhou. If Liu Xu is here, he will find that his chess friend Cui Lao, who often plays chess, is walking on the chairman.

As the most powerful family in Qingzhou, any local official in Qingzhou wants to make political achievements in Qingzhou, even if you want to finish your term of office in peace and stability, you can't easily offend Cui. Cui's power infiltrates all aspects of Qingzhou's industries, and the Cui clan controls half of Qingzhou on land alone, and you can't bypass Cui's just by paying taxes, which is the most basic official achievement. In terms of business, Cui's has a great influence in Qingzhou and even the Great Song Dynasty. If Cui's industry is completely stopped, the entire Qingzhou will collapse. Of course, this is only the strength on the surface, and the heritage of the millennium family does not stop at these things on the surface. Although after the chaos of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Cui clan still had great influence in the Great Song Dynasty. The children of the Cui family were officials all over the Great Song Dynasty, and there were not a few officials who were secretly supported and influenced by the Cui family.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were judging tonight's masterpieces. Now the poetry club has entered its climax, and various excellent works have been continuously copied.

Several celebrities looked at the song "Linjiang Immortal" that had just been copied, which was also made by Sun Yu, a famous talent in Qingzhou.

Why walk thirty miles, idle clouds and wild cranes? The spring breeze blows across the creek bridge. The green grass between the willow embankments, and the green seedlings awaken in the wheat field.

A glass of light wine, the cottage smiled, and the old people waved each other. His face was full of words. Why do you have to ask in life, you are happy and self-sufficient.

"The artistic conception is acceptable, the text is too plain, and the pattern of this word is a little stingy."

"It has its charm, but it's too bland, and the last game is comfortable and high, too contrived."

After everyone finished appraising this song "Fixing the Storm", someone took out a song "Qingyu Case" for everyone to comment, it was made by Sun Yu, a talented man in Qingzhou, Sun Yu was as famous as Su Qingpin, who was known as the first talent in Qingzhou, and he was selected to take the test next year.

The peach blossoms bloom several 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.

"Yes, the artistic conception is quiet, the words are smooth, this Sun Yu is a little famous, his skills are good, but he is not in vain."

"It's really good, the scene is beautiful, the scene is allegorical, not pretentious, especially the last sentence, 'if only as first seen', the artistic conception is far-reaching, very good."

Everyone commented for a while, and there are still a lot of poems that can be eye-catching tonight, but there are only a few real masterpieces so far.

Qingzhou General Judge Zhang Qin took a piece of paper at this time, looked at the copied words and said: "This poem "Fixing the Wind and Waves, Autumn Evening in the Mountain Village", it is also written in a quiet and leisurely manner, and the artistic conception is good, let's evaluate it."

Several village buildings and several 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. ”

After reading it, Zhang Qin looked at the signature, and Li Jiang learned from the state, so he smiled at an old man next to him: "Yo, this poem was originally made by Zhu's old students, no wonder it was done well, it turned out to be a famous teacher and a high apprentice." "The old man's name is Zhu Wenli, he is a famous man in Qingzhou, and now he is a professor of state studies.

Zhu Wenli hurriedly said: "Zhang Tong has won the award!" This kid is a little talented, but when he writes this leisurely and leisurely word, he is a little sick and moaning, and this word can be regarded as Zhongping at most, and he should not be praised by Zhang Tong. ”

Zhang Tong judged: "This word is a masterpiece tonight, Zhu Lao is too modest." ”

A young man with a dignified bearing sitting on the chairman's seat, dressed as a literati, said loudly: "Zhu Lao taught Qingzhou, and now it can be described as Qingzhou full of peach and plums. Qingzhou is romantic in culture and education, and Zhu Laoju has made great contributions, which really deserves this praise. Although Kou first arrived in Qingzhou, he has heard of Zhu Laoxian's name for a long time. ”

If you don't know it, you will definitely be a little surprised to see this scene, how can a young man sit in the chair of this chair full of Qingzhou dignitaries? This young man is now the new Qingzhou Zhizhou and Jingdong East Road pacification envoy Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun has passed the age of standing at this time, and now he is thirty-two, and he should be called a middle-aged man in the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that Kou Zhun is very handsome and well-maintained, so he looks really young. Kou Zhun was only nineteen years old when he was a high school scholar, he was upright and resourceful, and was even appreciated by today's officials. Being so young and in such a high position is unique in the Great Song Dynasty. Not long ago, there was a serious difference of opinion between Zhang Xun and the prefect in the Privy Council, and he was framed by Zhang Xun and demoted to Qingzhou. Even if he is demoted, Kou Zhun is also a handsome minister all the way, a state governor, and a high position. And everyone knows that Kou Zhun may not be long before Kou Zhun returns to the center. So although Kou Zhun is young, this main seat can only be sat by Kou Zhun.

"Kou Xianggong praised it falsely, it's really ashamed of his old age." In the Song Dynasty, most of the officials were called by their surnames and official titles, and most of the high-ranking and powerful people such as the prime minister, the governor of the political affairs, the privy envoy, and the privy deputy envoy were respected by the people. Before Kou Zhun came to Qingzhou, he served as a member of the Privy Council, so he deserves to be called a public name.

"Xianggong can't afford it, Kou is only a state governor now. Besides, Zhu Lao, you are too humble, and you deserve to be a famous teacher and a high apprentice. ”

At this time, Cui Lao got up and said: "Kou Xianggong is brilliant and talented, why don't you ask Kou Xianggong to write a poem, and participate in today's grand event, so as to achieve a good story in our Qingzhou." Cui Lao is the representative of the Qingzhou senior gentry, and at this time he intended to ask Kou Zhun to compose poems and get closer. With the longevity of Kou Zhun Sheng's family, it is a matter of time before he returns to the center, and if he has a good relationship at this time, there will be benefits in the future.

Zhu Wenli also said: "Kou Xianggong is young and talented, and he wrote "Huashan" at the age of seven. Raise your head to the red sun and bow your head to the white clouds and low's masterpiece. Don't ask Kou Xianggong to leave a poem today, so as to be romantic in Xiangqingzhou. ”

Zhang Tongju and others all echoed loudly and asked Kou Zhun to write poems.

Kou Zhun resigned again and again, and everyone pleaded again and again, but Kou Zhun had to agree.

Kou Zhun pondered for a moment and said loudly: "In this way, Kou Mou will make the first seven laws, and express his feelings for autumn, please comment." ”

"The empty monologue is empty, and the idle is less the same as Lin Tang's thoughts.

The sound of frost leaves is dry and the sunset is shining, and the dew lotus is cold and weeping in the autumn wind.

Shi Ping occasionally worked as a green-shirted official, and his heart was as old as a white-haired man.

Last night, Weichuan returned to a good dream, and a boat of smoke and rain hit the lonely tent. ”

Kou Zhun has been brilliant and quick since he was a child. After reaching the weak crown, he was awarded the rank of Jinshi, and he was even appreciated by the officials, and he was a young man, and he had a smooth road, and he was already in the Privy Council at a young age. Now that he has been framed and degraded out, although it is a prosperous state, he is finally depressed. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is full moon, and it is difficult for families to get together, so I borrow poetry to express my depression.

Although Kou Zhun's poems are a little sad and slightly inconsistent with the atmosphere tonight, the poems themselves are definitely good, and everyone unanimously praises them.

Zhu Wenli frowned and said: "Kou Xianggong's poetry is so talented and artistic conception is good, it deserves to be the best poem tonight." However, Kou Xianggong's 'old heart is as old as a white-haired man', and he is too depressed, Kou Xianggong is now just standing up, and he is even appreciated by the officials. With the trust of today's officials, Kou Xianggong will definitely be able to return to the center in the near future. What Kou Xianggong did at the age of seven was 'only the sky above, and there were no mountains and Qi.' Raise your head to the red sun and approach, bow your head to the white clouds and low', which shows the ambition of Kou Xianggong. Now that Kou Xianggong is only standing at a young age, it is when he is in the prime of life, and he must not be depressed. Hehe, the old man is old and sells the old, I hope the public will forgive me." Zhu Wenli, a doctor of state studies, is over seventy years old and has been educating Qingzhou for more than 40 years. The ancients had very few longevity, the so-called seventy ancient times were rare, seventy as they liked, and people would not be held accountable for breaking the law when they reached seventy. The old man has educated the people all his life, and when he saw that Kou Zhun was a little depressed, he couldn't help but admonish.

Although Kou Zhun is rarely in a high position, his scheming city government is always not deep enough, and he felt a little depressed just now, but now after listening to Zhu Wenli's advice, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly got up and gave a deep salute and said: "Kou has been taught, thank you Zhu Lao for mentioning it." ”
