Chapter 31: Poetry (1)

All of a sudden, drums played and geisha danced. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw a beautiful beauty enter the hall, this beauty is full of green beads, radiant, like the empty valley orchid. Smelling the fragrant wind, all the guests looked sideways.

This Mei Ji ignored everyone's gaze, walked straight to Ao Hong's side and saluted, and said softly: "The little woman has seen Ao Hong. ”

Ao Hong looked at the woman in front of her pretending to be shy, and knew that it must be a famous prostitute that Li Si specially found from Lingzhou for herself, pretending not to squint, just nodded slightly, and motioned for her to sit beside her.

Sitting in the seat of the four schools not far away, they are all 'apprentices' who have the qualifications to enter Beijing to take the examination, although they are not full of wealth, but they can also be exported. Yin Zhengyi saw that this woman was beautiful, and couldn't help sighing: "There is really a beautiful jade in the book." ”

Everyone nodded.

This woman was born beautiful, and when she came to accompany her at this time, she was even more delicately dressed, and her whole body exuded a charming taste. Lu Chengkong was at the age of strong blood, and seeing the beauty of the woman, he couldn't help but secretly take a few more looks.

After three rounds of drinking, Yin Zhuo, the chief bookkeeper, stood up and said: "Today, the talents of Ying County are all gathered in the house, why don't we wait and chant a poem with the strength of wine, how about it?" "Most literati like to recite poetry, and when they drink wine at this time, they are even more poetic.

The county magistrate Li Si was also quite literate, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, Lord Yin has a good proposal." Li Si's wife, Quan Dinglan, likes poetry and singing even more, because her brother is the assassin of Lingzhou, so her status at the banquet is not ordinary, she glanced at everyone with a smile, and said: "Master, look, the great talents of the four schools are here tonight, we have a blessing." ”

Yin Zhengyi heard these words, and immediately returned the salute on behalf of the students of the Four Sects: "I am not a great talent, and my wife has won the award." ”

Fang Nansheng drank a few more glasses of wine, his face was a little red, he liked to show off his literary talents on such an occasion, looking at the students at this table seeing the appearance of that Meiji's lost soul, "hehe" smiled, stretched out his hand and gestured, while reading: "'Dongshan night banquet wine is a river, and the silver candle shines on Qiluo. The sound of rain on all sides is full of laughter, and the fragrance of the house is full of singing'. ”

"Good poetry!" The county commander Li Si clapped his hands and took the lead in cheering.

Everyone knows that Fang Nan loves poetry the most in his life, and today he came to Li Si's mansion for a banquet, looking at this scene of red lights and wine, it must be poetic.

Yin Zhengyi knew that although Fang Nansheng's official rank was low, he was a student of Deng Rubing, the secretary of the capital Guozijian, if he could get Fang Nansheng to introduce himself to Deng Rubing, but it was worth 10,000 gold, so he took the lead and flattered him, and said very respectfully: "Good poetry, good poetry!" Mr. Fang's writing is admired by the students! ”

The people around him didn't care whether they heard Fang Nansheng's poems clearly or not, they all bowed their hands, shook their heads and said respectfully: "Mr. Fang is so literate!" ”

How could Lu Chengkong not see that everyone was deliberately currying favor with Fang Nansheng? He hates this kind of scene the most, even in the future, as long as there are people in the middle of the house, they must be careful in their gestures, and they always have to have a smile on their faces, and they can only say good things, and they feel uncomfortable thinking about such things against their will.

But at this time, he had to lower his head, gesture to his mouth, and absentmindedly follow others to learn to be complimentary.

Fang Nansheng did study under Deng Rubing when he was young, but Deng Rubing taught countless students in his life, how could he remember him with mediocre qualifications? He has studied hard all his life, but he is a doctor-like official in Lingzhou's four schools, and he has to nod his head when he sees officials on weekdays, and he can only find the feeling of being sought after in front of students. At this time, listening to the compliments of these students, they smiled again and again, and their willingness to chant poetry was even better than just now, so they chanted a few poems one after another, and everyone was blushing and competing for praise.

Zhou Huaizhi sat next to Lu Chengkong, and at this time, seeing that everyone was talking to Fang Nansheng hotly, he was secretly anxious. But in front of Yin Zhengyi, the children of official families, how could he, with a mediocre background, have the opportunity to interject?

Zhou Huaizhi took advantage of the gap between everyone's drinking, blushed in a hurry, and said, "What did Mr. Fang do...... The students were also impressed by the poems they wrote......"

Fang Nansheng listened to Zhou Huaizhi attribute the poems written by famous people in the world to himself, and he was overjoyed, but he put on a humble posture, and said with a smile: "These poems are not written by Fang, Fang is ashamed!" ”

Zhou Huaizhi was the farthest away from Fang Nansheng, and although he didn't hear what poems he chanted, he still tried his best to compliment. At this time, he was pierced by Fang Nansheng, and his face turned a little redder. But as soon as his eyes rolled, he had to make a calculation, and resignedly: "The students also think that these poems should not be written by Mr. Fang...... If Mr. Fang's poems are written, they must be a hundred times stronger than these people. ”

Whether it is in the future or now, Lu Chengkong's blood has a bit of Jianghu qi similar to Lu Liang's, and when he hears such a disgusting compliment, his scalp is numb. If he wanted to curry favor with Fang Nansheng like this, he would definitely not be able to do it.

Fang Nansheng smiled and shook his head, how could he not know that his student's compliment was too much? Yin Zhengyi and the others also glanced at Zhou Huaizhi, ignored him anymore, and then discussed poetry with Fang Nansheng.

After Fang Nansheng's poem, Quan Dinglan looked at the four scholars and said, "Mr. Fang is very literate, presumably the students he teaches must be excellent in literature." Lord Luo, Lord Yin......" She looked at Luo Tian and Yin Zhuo, and said: "The little girl has long heard that the two sons are extraordinary, but I don't know that tonight, the little girl will have the honor to listen to the poems of the two sons?" ”

Everyone was silent, and their eyes were focused on the seat of the four schools. Everyone here knows that don't look at these apprentices who are just unknown scholars now, maybe in the blink of an eye, they will become important ministers in the court, and they don't dare to despise them, looking for every opportunity, they have to climb up to make friends, this is the so-called "connections".

Yin Zhuo on the side laughed twice and called, "Yin Zhengyi." ”

"Father." Yin Zhengyi stood up, straightened his waist, and then bowed politely to the chairman, and said, "The villain Yin Zhengyi has seen all the adults. ”

The county commander Li Si and the chief bookkeeper Yin Zhuo got along very well, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhengyi, if you are a guest in the mansion tonight, you are all from your own family, so you don't need to be polite." ”

"Lord Yin, your son is really a talent." Quan Dinglan pondered for a while, picked up the white jade wine glass in his hand, and said: "As the saying goes, 'no wine is not a feast', then tonight, let's use the word 'wine, banquet', choose one of them as the topic, and test the literary talents of all students." Yin Gongzi, I heard that you are very knowledgeable, so you should come first. ”

What to do on such an occasion, Yin Zhengyi naturally knew in his heart, so he had already made sufficient preparations. I saw him holding his head high, full of confidence, looking around at everyone, and said:

"A new song and a glass of wine, last year's weather old pavilion. When does the sun set? Helplessly, the flowers fell, and the familiar swallow returned. The small garden incense path wanders alone. ”

"Good poems, good words." Quan Dinglan listened carefully, her expression was a little low, and she said: "This poem has a soft artistic conception, it must be a handsome boy who has experienced the helplessness of the world." ”

"Not bad!" The county commander Li Si nodded and looked at Yin Zhengyi with approval.

"Thank you, sir, ma'am." Yin Zhengyi immediately bowed and sighed: "This poem was heard by chance when I met a senior surnamed Yan when I was traveling in the clouds. I also admire this predecessor so much that I don't dare to take this poem as my own. I drank two more drinks tonight, and then I blurted it out. ”

"Good!" After everyone listened, they first lowered their heads and silently recited it a few times, and when they heard Li Si's praise for Yin Zhengyi, they all applauded.

Yin Zhengyi didn't dare to ask for credit, and immediately turned to Fang Nansheng and said respectfully: "The student is ugly in front of Mr. ”

Lu Chengkong also pondered for a moment, because this poem is somewhat familiar, especially the first sentence "A new song and a glass of wine", it seems that it is still the topic of the future college entrance examination, but Lu Chengkong doesn't remember who the specific author is. He glanced at Yin Zhengyi and said secretly: "Ancient information is blocked, even if someone makes classic poems, it is difficult to spread them widely in a short period of time. Yin Zhengyi is quite honest, he doesn't take the famous poems as his own, but looks like a righteous gentleman. ”
