Jia Lian knew that it would not work if he didn't make it clear to Jia's mother, so he had to say lightly: "How can the ancestor say that it is so serious, it's just that it was decided with the prince of Nan'an County to exchange poems and articles in the main hall three days later." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Is that really it? But your second uncle's return is not as easy as you say. Jia Mu said.

I only heard Jia Lian smile and said proudly: "The second uncle is standing too far away, and he can't hear clearly, and even if I lose, it won't be anything, but if the son of the world loses, I'm afraid that even the five-grade petty official can't keep it." ”

Hearing that Jia Lian was going to compete with others in front of the emperor in three days, the little characters in the room were boiling.

I only heard Tan Chun say first: "Brother Lian is powerful, the royal competition above this hall, isn't it the same as the hand-picked champion!" ”

Xichun said: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be more confirmed that our brother Lian is both civil and military, hehe, Brother Lian is really powerful." ”

……

Only Jia Mu said: "Brother Lian, my wife doesn't understand the things outside, but I have heard people often say that harmony is precious, and it is easy to break through steel, I naturally know that you are the most thoughtful, but you must not go too far." ”

Jia Lian knew that Jia's mother said this for the sake of this family, and replied sincerely: "Sun Tzu understands the hard work of the ancestors, and please rest assured that the Sun Tzu will not ignore our big family and act willfully." ”

Jia Mu nodded, and then put the topic aside, and then everyone relaxed and laughed.

In the next three days, during which Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Sanchun and others also came to Jia Lian many times to discuss the topics that the emperor might come up with, but because there were no hints at all, they didn't get anything in the end.

Only Jia Lian smiles every day and enjoys everyone's care.

The time soon came three days later, and Jia Lian, as usual, was going to go to the court after the morning exercise.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng waited at the gate earlier, and when Jia Lian came closer, he only heard Jia Zheng say: "Brother Lian, I can't control you now, but there is one sentence I want to make clear to you." ”

Jia Lian said: "Please show the second master." ”

At this time, Jia Zheng stared at Jia Lian for a while, and then said: "Compared to Baoyu, you are indeed much stronger, and now your official is better than me and your father, but I still want to say that it is really unwise to provoke the prince of Nan'an County for no reason. ”

After saying this, without waiting for Jia Lian's answer, Jia Zheng got into the sedan chair and left first.

Only Jia Lian shook his head helplessly and smiled, he knew that Jia Zheng could say this, but he was afraid that he didn't have any bad intentions, but Jia Zheng could only see what was in front of him, and as for the future, he would also have a black eye.

And Jia Zheng is an extremely pedantic and stubborn person, how can Jia Lian, a junior, have the opportunity to talk about the future in front of him? In the end, I can only smile bitterly and forget it.

When Jia Lian came to the palace hall, almost all the officials arrived in advance, and Jia Lian even saw that Mu Feng was also standing behind the king of Nan'an County, but when he saw Jia Lian looking at him, Mu Feng's eyes flickered.

And Jia Lian didn't care about him, just walked straight to his place, and then chatted casually with his colleagues next to him.

Soon after, the emperor also came to court in advance.

After the hundred officials knelt down and shouted three long live, they only heard the emperor smile and said: "I thought I would come early today, but I didn't expect that all the Qing families would come earlier, it seems that everyone is very concerned about today's event." ”

Immediately, a minister with a snow-white beard replied: "What the emperor said is extremely true, Marquis Jia was suddenly born, not only made money, but also wrote books and said millions of words, not long ago, he swept through Tubo and almost entered the Tubo King City!" It's a pity that all these miracles have not been seen with their own eyes! Today, I was able to see with my own eyes the great talent of Marquis Jia, how could the ministers not come early. ”

This is not someone else, it is Zhang Ge Lao, the first auxiliary minister of the first product of the dynasty, Zhang Ge Lao, and Zhang Ge Lao is also a representative of Shilin and Qingliu.

As soon as Zhang Ge Lao said this, the rest of the officials echoed it. It's just that no one mentioned Mu Feng, the prince of Nan'an County, which made his face even more difficult to look at.

However, such a scene does not mean that everyone supports Jia Lian, it's just that Jia Lian is too famous now, and he inadvertently ignores Mu Feng.

At this moment, the emperor first signaled everyone to be quiet, and then Lang Lang said: "Since all the Qing families are so Yaxing, let's start." Then he said: "Where is Jia Lian Mufeng?" ”

Jia Lian and Mu Feng immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Minister Jia Lian (Mu Feng) knocks to see the emperor." ”

"Let's all be flat." The emperor said, and signaled the eunuch with the hall to take out a wooden box, and then said: "Since we want to compete, then we must first ensure fairness, for this reason, I specially asked the emperor, and the emperor immediately put the question into this wooden box and sealed it, now even I don't know what the specific topic is. ”

Jia Lian immediately replied: "It is really a great honor for us to alarm the Emperor Taishang and his old man, how dare I have any objections." ”

Mu Feng also said: "The minister has no objection, thank the emperor for his grace." ”

The emperor nodded when he heard this, and saw that the eunuch in the hall opened the seal on the spot, opened the wooden box again, and then took out a snow-white piece of rice paper from the wooden box.

The hundred officials saw that there were only nine vigorous characters on the rice paper: Meilan, Zhuju, Yongshi, and the Four Gentlemen.

Seeing this topic, the hundred officials immediately discussed, and some people said: "Although the title of the four gentlemen of this poem does not seem to be difficult, but it can best understand a person's mind and emotions in a few words, and can achieve the effect of knowing the whole picture at a glance." ”

There are also humanitarians: "Since ancient times, there have been countless masterpieces of the four gentlemen of Yongmeilan, Zhuju, so if you want to be better, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult." ”

There is also humanity: "It is worthy of being a wise and martial old man, these four poems will suddenly be superior to the two, if you change the topic, I am afraid that in the end there will be endless arguments." ”······

Then immediately another little eunuch brought two sets of chairs, and the table was covered with ready-made pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

And as soon as Jia Lian saw that he was writing poetry, he was also relieved at the moment, and there are four kinds of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, no matter how many good poems have not appeared in the world of Red Mansions in ancient and modern times, there is only one thing left to choose slowly.

At this time, the emperor and the hundred officials saw Jia Lian slowly sit down, while Mu Feng lowered his head and started up.

After a while, everyone saw Jia Lian start writing first, and then in one go, he waved the four heads of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum.

However, at this time, Mu Feng was able to start writing, and saw Jia Lian stand up and leave his seat, and said, "I'm done." “

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and said: "In terms of speed, Jia Aiqing will be remembered first, but the Emperor Taishang did not explain whether it is time-limited, so he will wait for Mu Feng to finish and then comment together." “

As soon as he said this, even the king of Nan'an County couldn't pick out the thorns, and Jia Lian's speed immediately aroused the amazement of hundreds of officials, but they didn't know what the quality of Jia Lian was.

But in this way, he immediately put more pressure on Mu Feng, and I saw that in this late autumn season, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. (To be continued.) )
