Chapter 64: The Disciple
As a bell rang, the little eunuch carried bronze tripods and placed them in front of each table.
There are all kinds of exquisite dishes in the tripod, a bell rings, a person carries a tripod in, enough to ring eighteen bells, each tripod is arranged.
The last bell rang, and Emperor Yu slowly entered the second floor with the bell, and a small eunuch behind him held a thing covered with red satin in both hands, presumably the Frost Moon Sword.
Emperor Yu followed the bell to the main seat and sat down, and everyone greeted Emperor Yu in unison.
Emperor Yu motioned for everyone to sit down and said, "God bless the Yu Kingdom, since I ascended the throne, the cultural context of the Yu Kingdom has been prosperous, and I am very comforted. Today, there are disciples of the academy who come to my Yu country, and the widow is very happy, and specially hold a poetry meeting to invite Mr. Mu to guide me to the literati seeds of Yu and help me to Yongfeng Yu culture. ”
After Yu Guo finished speaking, he smiled slightly at Mu Bai, and the literati around him also looked at Mu Bai.
Mu Bai got up and bowed slightly towards Emperor Yu, and said: "The emperor is serious, Mu Bai is just a fisherman in a small fishing village, and he was lucky enough to meet Mr. Mu from Jixia School Palace. Talent is naturally not as good as the students of Yuguo for ten years, Mu Baiwan did not dare to say that he was knowledgeable, and he came here to learn from the literati of Yuguo. ”
After hearing this, Sun Qianqiu said proudly: "It turns out that he is just a local people who are lucky, Yuguo is not cold, since you want to learn, I will let you see that the heritage of the Yuguo family is not comparable to an upstart like you." ”
Emperor Yu frowned after hearing this, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Mr. Mu, as a disciple of the academy, just made a humble remark, and you insulted the disciple of the academy with wild words, and if you committed your first offense, you will be punished for three months. ”
A scribe who was not good-looking got up and said: "Compilation Sun, I only heard that you go to the Qinglou to drink and have fun on weekdays, is the reputation of Compilation Sun in the Qinglou terrible than the reputation in poetry, is this how you show off the heritage of your Sun family?"
Mu Bai looked at the scribe who helped him in surprise, and Fu Bo explained: "This person's name is Wang Dengtu, and he is a person from His Majesty the Third Prince in the current Ministry of Rites. ”
Emperor Yu saw the banquet full of gunpowder, and scolded: "This banquet is a poetry meeting, only discuss the affairs of the poetry meeting, and if you talk about others, the widow will punish you." ”
Emperor Yu looked around at the literati below for a week, and said: "The widow attaches great importance to this poetry meeting, and the one who wins the first place can get the frost moon sword presented by the widow." ”
As soon as these words came out, the literati below were in an uproar, and their eyes stared directly at the Frost Moon Sword covered with red cloth.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the banquet was mobilized, Emperor Yu cleared his throat and said loudly: "The poetry meeting starts now! This poetry meeting can be played normally, and all kinds of literary styles are not limited, but Yuguo values poetry, and the Chinese Chinese scholars also value poetry, and those of the same rank respect poetry." ”
After saying this, Emperor Yu ate a few bites of the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of him, and said: "The widow is busy with government affairs, so he will leave first, and your poems and essays will be handed over to the eunuch to the widow, and then the widow will evaluate the first place." After speaking, Emperor Yu left the banquet.
After Emperor Yu left, Sun Qianqiu stood up and said viciously to Wang Dengtu: "Unfortunately, I made a "Dengtu Zifu" and I am here to invite you to taste it. ”
A little eunuch hurriedly came over with the number of rice paper, Sun Qianqiu began to write on the rice paper with ink, and a group of literati began to surround him.
I saw Sun Qianqiu write on rice paper: "The beauty of the world is Mo Ruo Yuguo, the beauty of Yu Country is Mo Ruochenli, and the beauty of the minister is the son of Mo Ruochen's owner." The son of the proprietor, if you increase one point, it will be too long, and if you subtract one point, it will be too short, if you wear powder, it will be too white, and if you wear Zhu, it will be too red, your eyebrows will be like green feathers, and your muscles will be like snow. However, this woman has been on the wall to peep at the minister for three years, and she has not allowed it so far. This is not the case with the disciples: his wife is unkempt, her lips are clear, her feet are stiff, and she is scabies and hemorrhoids. The disciples were pleased, so that they had five sons. Who is the lustful person?"
"Brother Sun, this endowment will definitely be the first prize of this poetry meeting. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, if you have this Fudeng, your apprentice brother will definitely be famous in the poetry club. ”
Liu Shishi looked at the "Dengtu Zi Fu" on the rice paper, her eyes couldn't help but look at Sun Qianqiu for a few seconds, and said: "Although there are some malicious slanderous words in the fu, but this fu is delicate and workmanlike, and as soon as this fu comes out, it will be difficult for the people below." ”
Sun Qianqiu saw Liu Shishi praising herself, her heart blossomed, and she laughed at Wang Dengtu: "Brother Wang, I offended, hahahaha." ”
Wang Dengtu blushed and said, "Sun Qianqiu, you are less proud. There are so many scholars in the world, don't underestimate the world. After finishing speaking, Wang Dengtu sat down fiercely, and his heart beat a drum, this endowment is indeed a little difficult to surpass.
Sun Qianqiu was secretly proud in his heart, this was the fu he wrote after thinking about it for three months, and it was originally used to please the second prince, but today Wang Dengtu provoked himself, so he changed the name inside to Wang Dengtu.
After seeing this fu, Fu Bo also said: "Although Sun Qianqiu's character is inferior, the fu he has made is very good. ”
Mu Bai looked at the group of literati who were shouting around the rice paper and flattering Sun Qianqiu, lowered his head and continued to turn to the food in Dingnei.
Sun Qianqiu looked at the bunch of literati who were flattering him, he liked the feeling of such a starry moon, and when he saw Mu Bai ignoring himself and concentrating on his own Ding, he thought of what Liu Shishi had done to Mu Bai just now.
Sun Qianqiu said to Mu Bai: "Mr. Mu is a disciple of the academy, and the academy is in charge of the world's lineage, so Mr. Mu must have a masterpiece that will be amazing." Please give me some guidance on Xiaosheng's article, and by the way, make a poem to guide all the literati here. ”
Mu Bai put down the spiced pineapple cake in his hand and said: "I once heard that there is a widowed princess in the distant Western Regions, and the princess fell in love with a minister in the court, but the minister already had a wife in his family, so the king invited the minister to probe the mouth, and the king asked the minister: "As the saying goes, if you have a high status, you must change friends, and if you have more money, you have to marry another wife, is this human nature?" The minister said: "The minister must not forget when he hears the knowledge of the poor, and the wife of the bad chaff does not go to court." This matter is rumored to be a beautiful talk of a country, and this is a gentleman who values righteousness and ignores profit. ”
Wang Dengtu glanced at Mu Bai gratefully, Sun Qianqiu didn't expect Mu Bai to say this, and said with a pale face: "The poetry club is still based on poetry, I don't know if Mr. Mu has poems that can beat me, no, no, Confucian disciples can't be as good as me." ”
Mu Bai glanced at Sun Qianqiu and said, "Why don't Your Excellency rise with the wind and soar up to 90,000 miles." ”
Sun Qianqiu's face turned blue and said: "Mu Bai, you are less clever here, and you can still respect poetry and writing in the poetry meeting." ”
Fu Bo said in a low voice: "Mr. Mu should not be provoked by him, if Mr. Mu does not want to do poetry, he will not do it, and no one can stop you." ”
Mu Bai smiled after hearing this, and said to Sun Qianqiu: "Okay, I'll make a poem to convince you." ”
