To put it mildly, although Tang Shen was confused and passed the exam, he didn't have any knowledge of himself, and when he heard that he was going to write poems, he was so frightened that he shrank his neck, but fortunately, the position he chose was on the side, and no one noticed. Fortunately, he was a shrunken turtle, so what could he do!

Tang Shen, a good student, was also contaminated with his son's rogue habits, and paid attention to the table in front of him.

First of all, the banquet was set up in the governor's yamen, in order to entertain the scholars in the middle of the lift, it was redecorated early, the ground was covered with red pine wood, and a thick blanket was spread, and there was no sound when walking on it, and it was very soft and comfortable. Tables, chairs and benches are mostly made of rosewood, and the worst is wenge huanghuali, the oily wood with dark lines, luxurious atmosphere, look carefully, in some inconspicuous places, you can also see the words "Changwen", which is actually flowing out of Taicang.

Tang Shen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Stinky boy, you've done all your business to the governor's yamen!" ”

Look at the table is even more exquisite, today's main dish is crab, the family also often does, but the governor of the yamen has a different flavor: the crab should be washed alive, steamed with Pu color, when eating, the umbilical cover is lifted, carefully picky with nails, dipped in vinegar and garlic to accompany the wine. Or remove the crab sternum, and the eight roads are as complete as a butterfly, in order to show ingenuity.

After eating, drink Su Ye soup, wash your hands with Su Ye and other pieces, pay attention to the extreme. More than 100 people eat crabs and drink wine together, which is spectacular.

In groups of three or five, some people talk loudly, some people chant poems against each other, some people guess riddles, and drink orders, and from time to time good sentences come out, causing a burst of admiration, and everyone has a lot of fun.

Tang Shen looked around and found that it was not mixed up. I don't have that interest, it's better to eat crabs with my head stuffy, lift their shells, and accumulate greasy, like jade fat and amber crumbs, and unite them. Although Gan is not as good as Bazhen. Tang Shen's index finger moved, and after a while, he eliminated the two big crabs, and when he reached out to grab the third, he suddenly heard a cough.

"Master, although the crab is good, it is cold and hurts the stomach, so it is not suitable to eat more."

"Oh, it makes sense." Tang Shen smiled awkwardly, and suddenly frowned. Why is the voice of the little guy in front of you a little familiar?

"Raise your head!" Tang Shen said in a low voice.

The "little guy" sent Su Yeshui to the front and smiled at Tang Shen: "Please clean your hands, master!" ”

Looking at the smiling little face in front of him, Tang Shen couldn't be more familiar, isn't this a baby son? What did this stinky boy do, he turned out to be a little hat in green clothes, and he came to pretend to be a servant. He just ate crabs with his head bored, and his mouth full of oil must have let him see it, it's over. Let this kid catch the handle again, and the father is finished. In fact, there is not much left. It's a lot of worry......

Tang Shen darkened his face and said angrily: "Stinky boy, come and see your father's laughter, right?" ”

"Hey, you've wronged your child!" Tang Yi hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't dare to have such a rebellious idea. Even if there is, it can't be said. lowered his voice and smiled: "I heard Cao Dazhang say that the Lu Ming Banquet is going to be a Lu Ming poem, and the child is not afraid that you will not be able to stand it, so he is here to be a rescuer." If you dislike children, it will be troublesome. I'll just go. ”

Tang Yi got up as he spoke, making a gesture to leave, but grabbed Tang Shen, he was worried about this, how could he let go of the life-saving straw.

"My little ancestor, you can't go!"

Although Tang Shen has never seen his son do any poems, just by looking at the lyrics and songs he wrote, he knows that his level is definitely far above himself. Although Tang Shen disdains cheating, but there is no burden on his son to help, can it be called cheating in the matter between father and son......

While the two were talking, the protagonist of the banquet finally arrived, and the first person to walk in was Taichang Siqing and Guozi Priest Jiu Ao Milling, this person was the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Township Examination, that is, he shot out more than half of the Xinxue disciples.

Following him was Cao Bangfu, the governor of Yingtian, who was neither a Yan Party nor a Xu Party, and since his arrival, he had reorganized his armaments and fought several small victories, which was quite prestigious.

Followed by Cao Bangfu, it is Tang Shunzhi, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, although he is not the chief examiner, nor is he a landlord, but after all, the status of the literary world is there, not to mention that he is a native of Nanzhili, who among the students here does not know Tang Jingchuan's name, and it is natural for the seniors to encourage the juniors.

The three adults took their seats in the main seat, and the audience suddenly fell silent. Ao Mo hugged his fists at Tang Shunzhi and said with a smile: "Jingchuan Gong, what do you have to say?" ”

"Hehe, Master Cao is polite, all of you are your protégés, as a teacher, it should be up to you."

"Well, you're welcome." Cao Bangfu had a calm face, his expression was gloomy, without a trace of amiability, just like a stepmother, his eyes swept over one after another, and every time he saw it, he couldn't help but lower his head, and his heart was furious.

Seeing the little rookies, one by one with panic, Ao Mo was slightly proud, but he also knew that although he was ruthless, there were still a large number of Xinxue disciples present, in order to complete Yan Ge's entrustment, he had to beat these students again, so that they knew who was the heaven on the head!

Yan Ge, who said the same thing, did not stammer, and walked with Xu Jie, there was only one dead end!

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Nanzhili is the hometown of prosperous culture, and since the past dynasties, there have been many talents, most of whom are the pillars of the imperial court. If you can pass the exam, you will win the Toad Palace in the future, and you must be more cautious and not make mistakes! ”

The Luming Banquet has always been a place to say New Year's greetings, and it has never happened directly, although they hung their heads one by one, but many scholars were not convinced, but they didn't dare to show it.

I heard Ao Mo continue: "Luming feast, from now on, you can receive the Yu Lu and enter the court as an official." As the saying goes, the food of the king repays the kindness of the king, in recent years, the southeast of the Japanese invaders made trouble, His Majesty has long been worried about it, and the old chief of the Yan Pavilion is also worried about the labor, the night clothes and food, and the night can not sleep. Scholars should have the ambition to serve the country, relieve your majesty's worries, and share difficulties for the elders. No matter how you study or become an official, you must be upright, you must not form parties and associations in private, and you are not allowed to talk about the government and politics casually, sell your reputation and reputation, and everyone will follow the clouds. You must know that Your Majesty is like the sky, how can the government be understood by ordinary juniors, as long as you uphold loyalty, there will be a time when you will soar in the future, if you are dissatisfied, there are more people in the world who want to be officials, not one is missing! ”

After saying this, everyone present did not change color.

The meaning of the warning could not be clearer, it is nothing more than to let everyone listen to His Majesty, of course, it is just empty words, the key is to listen to Yan Ge Lao, don't talk about it casually, don't get mixed with Xinxue, so as not to ruin your future......

Such a direct threat is not bold, who let Yan Song and Yan Shifan support him, Ao Mo was not afraid, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Maybe the official's words are not good, but the medicine is bitter, and the words are contrary to the ear, I hope you can listen to it!" ”

What can the students say, they can only say thank you for the teachings, and they raised their necks and drank their drinks, and the interest of the big guys suddenly disappeared by eight points. One by one is uneasy, especially some young people who are inclined to learn from the mind are even more anxious, if they want to go down, they have to switch to Yan Ge's old disciples, and they have to abandon what they have learned?

The entanglement of conscience and interests makes everyone depressed and worried.

"Hehehe, Lord Ao is really high-minded, young people need to be the first to drink!" Tang Shunzhi took the words, his demeanor was chic, and his smile was kind, like the sun in the sky, exuding warmth, which quickly healed the injured heart of the big guy.

I heard Tang Shunzhi say enthusiastically: "What did Lord Ao tell everyone? That is, to be loyal to the king, to the king, to save the people. The Japanese are not afraid, the traitors are not afraid, the wind and waves are long, I hope all the students will be named on the gold list as soon as possible and serve the country! ”

Speaking of "bad", Ao Milling is still 108,000 miles away from Tang Shunzhi, this three words, he put Yan Ge Lao into the ranks of traitors on a par with the Japanese Kou, and encouraged the big guy to fight with the traitor to the end, but his words could not be refuted, Ao Mill's face changed and changed.

Cao Bangfu saw it in his eyes, pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Did you hear it, the two adults are all asking you to aspire to serve the country, you might as well use this as the topic to write a poem to make a strong deed!" ”

When it came to Fu Shi, everyone looked at each other, didn't dare to speak casually, and was silent for a long time, Cao Bangfu's face was not good-looking, and he lowered his head and coughed twice.

At this time, a young scholar stood up, everyone recognized it, it was a student from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, named Pang Yuan, the word is clear, it is Xie Yuan of the township test, others dare not speak, he can not hide behind the first in the exam, he can only come out at a critical moment to block the eye.

He bowed to several seniors and introduced himself: "After listening to the teachings of the teacher and Mr. Jing Chuan, the students have a lot of feelings, try to compose a poem, and throw bricks and stones!" ”

He said politely, and after a little thought, he recited: "Today's feast is really good, and I will hold the Minglu Cup." The first flight of your balance table, the consensus is a false talent. The dragon swamp clouds are moving, and the wings of the waves are open. The alarmist words are cut to Dong, and the secret belongs to Zou Mei. After the city vacated early, the seal continued to eat. You should refrain from driving the crossbow and wait for the cart to return. ”

Speaking of this poem, it is also ordinary, but it is just a self-proclaimed unicorn Kunpeng, looking forward to being on the gold list of high school, returning to his hometown in fine clothes, and being stable, but it speaks the thoughts of many people, which is quite appropriate to the occasion and has attracted frequent praise.

Then someone made a few more poems, among which Jiang Yilin, a person from Huizhou who was also a Wukui, read: "The article has to be self-defeating, flying flat and green clouds. Persuade the lonely Han edict, the song seems to see Zhou poems, the smoke and rain of the ninth autumn are on the sun, and the wind and thunder change in March. Looking back, there is no need to cross the question, and the championship has been prophetic. ”

The township test is in the autumn, the test will be in March, the smoke and rain in September will be on the day, and the wind and thunder will change in March! Speaking of everyone's hearts, even Cao Bangfu nodded frequently. But there was an unknown person, and a person sitting at the end stood up, and said in a ghostly manner: "Although Brother Jiang is talented, he only cares about himself and soars for nine days, and the pattern is inevitably a little low, not good, not good!" ”

Someone recognizes the guy who spoke, his name is Tang Qin, this time he is ranked in the nineties, obviously a crane tail, and his reputation was not obvious in the past, he suddenly appeared, it is really incredible.

"Brother Tang, do you have a better poem?" Jiang Yilin asked unconvinced.

"Not down there."

"What's the point without you?" With the strength of the wine, several people rebuked them with contempt.

Tang Qin didn't hear it, and said with a slight smile: "Although I am not talented in the next place, we have a great talent here." As he spoke, he looked at Tang Shen with a smile and said, "Brother Tang, I haven't seen you for a few years, but I didn't expect you to become the seventh lifter, it's really impressive, what are the masterpieces today, let everyone appreciate one or two!"
