Chapter 224: Competition
Inviting people to compete is extremely arrogant, and Song Tiancai is not willing to compare with such people.
He replied directly: "Senior brother, forgive me, Song still has some things to deal with, and I can't accompany him." ”
He was not happy to give him face, Gao Yehua raised his eyebrows, and when he saw that Song Tian was leaving, he held a white fan in his hand and blocked his way and said: "Brother Song, I heard that you are young and talented, and I am fortunate to meet you today, Gao just happened to know one or two, why don't you give face." Do you look down on Gao? I felt like it would be a waste of time to compete with me. ”
I didn't want to get into trouble, but I misinterpreted this person in a few words.
Hu Ke, who had already written the couplet, frowned, and was about to go over to help when he held it on the shoulder for Cai Zhong, who came out of nowhere.
"Brother Hu, that person is from the Gao family of Yuancheng County, it's best not to anger him and deal with it carefully."
Cai Zhong and Song Tian got acquainted in the examination room, and after the exam, he found Song Tian to get the exam questions right as promised, and stayed with Hu Ke for a while, which is considered to be an acquaintance.
"The Gao family in Yuancheng?"
Apparently Hu Ke didn't know.
"Scholarly families, famous nobles, many people in the family are officials in Beijing, and it is said that some officials are in the cabinet."
The cabinet members are already big officials for them ordinary people.
But even if the family background is extraordinary, it is not a reason to be proud and bully.
Hu Ke thanked Cai Zhong for his kindness, and took a few steps forward to Song Tian's side.
At this time, because Song Tian refused to compete, several people who were surrounding Gao Yehua had already begun to shout.
"Song Xuexue, Senior Brother sincerely wants to invite, why do you deliberately embarrass people."
"Yes, too. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was already the head of a county, and I had long wanted to see the ability of Song Xuexue, and I didn't want to invite you to move in the previous drinking party. ”
"Senior brother, if Song Xuexue is unwilling, then he will admit defeat, you don't have to pay attention to it, we can all testify......"
Everyone said one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right, and Song Tian's face was also a little dark.
It is a competition, it is voluntary, and it has become a problem if you don't want to.
Song Tian arched his hand and asked, "Senior brother, who are these?" ”
If he is in the company of these people who do not argue with each other, saying a thousand and saying ten thousand, he does not want to try anything and lose his character.
Gao Yehua glanced at the few people around him, and said to Song Tian: "These people all met when they came in, and they are not too familiar. ”
Gao Yehua said it bluntly, and the few people who spoke for him before were instantly embarrassed.
But what people said was also true, it was everyone who saw his surname Gao Cai and came up with a daze, no wonder others.
In this way, Song Tian was about to nod and take on the challenge, Hu Ke patted his hand and said: "Senior brother, it's not impossible to want Song Tian to compete with you, but you have to get a lottery, otherwise it will be too boring." ”
Jackpots? Song Tian glanced sideways at Hu Ke.
This man loves to look for him!
He came in this time except for a handkerchief and a few taels of silver, but he didn't bring anything, so he didn't have any color.
Gao Yehua was interested, and stroked his palms and said, "What this benevolent brother said is true. I will take this jade pendant as the lottery head, if Brother Song wins, this jade pendant is Brother Song's. ”
As he spoke, he took off the crystal clear jade pendant on his waist and put it on the desk.
Song Tian was embarrassed when he saw it, and said bluntly: "Brother Gao, don't blame, Song has no good things with him, so forget about the meaning of this colorful head." ”
When Hu Ke heard this, he called it a pity, this son-in-law surnamed Gao was wearing extraordinary products, and he finally came up with a chance to pit him, why did Song Tian give up.
Since he took the initiative to come and ask for trouble, how could he easily let this person go.
Hu Ke kept giving Song Tian a look, and said in his heart that it's okay for you to take a tael of silver out, looking at this person's appearance, he is not a person who cares about these mundane things.
Gao Yehua really didn't care, and when he heard Song Tian mention this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Brother Song doesn't have to worry too much, these things are just fine." I think that bag on your waist is good, and you can use this too. ”
He pointed to the blue-purple bag on Song Tian's waist, if it was something else, Song Tian would think about it again, this is absolutely impossible.
"Brother Gao, this thing can't be, it's a peace charm asked for by important people, and Song Tian can't obey his fate."
Song Tian bluntly refused, and then he didn't be polite to him anymore, and directly took out the purse containing the silver and took out the largest grain of silver inside.
"If Brother Gao doesn't mind, I'll use this mundane thing."
Anyway, he made his words clear, and when he lost his precious jade pendant, he couldn't blame himself.
"Brother Song is free."
Gao Yehua didn't care.
Song Tian nodded, and then the two began to empty the pairs under the porch under everyone's gaze.
To say that these couplets hanging under the corridor, there is still some difficulty, you can also match at will, if you want to be brilliant, you have to have a little literary color and thought.
However, for the two who have already won the county test, this is not too difficult.
The two went all the way, and they couldn't tell the winner or loser after directly facing dozens of paintings, but there were more and more people around, and they directly surrounded this side.
At this time, on the platform not far away, the dean of Qingyun Academy was receiving the Wu Governor's Mansion dressed in civilian clothes.
The prefect came to support the poetry meeting of the academy, which could have been passed before, but there was no news this time, which was the same as Qingyun Academy suddenly holding a poetry meeting, which made people feel sudden.
Dean Xu Xing is already in the age of a sixtieth year, wearing a white-washed green shirt, a wooden hairpin on his head, and a white beard hanging down his chest, looking less like a scholar and more like a Taoist priest.
At this time, he was bowing to the prefect of Wu, although Wu Yao was the prefect of the fourth grade, he was very respectful to Xu Xing at this time, not only returned to him, but also pressed his back lower, after all, he was also a student of Xu Xing back then, and the two had a friendship between teachers and students.
"Sir, have you seen that man?"
The two stood in front of the window, Wu Yao looked at the lively crowd below, and asked Xu Xing.
Xu Xing said with a smile: "People have seen it, but they haven't had a chance to contact it yet, so I don't know what the character is." ”
As the two spoke, there were bursts of cheers not far away, but the competition between Song Tian and Gao Yehua was in full swing, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
Wu Yao glanced at it and said, "Why don't you go and see the excitement with me now." ”
Xu Xing stroked his beard and nodded, and the two of them went downstairs one after the other.
And in a teahouse not far away, the owner of the Li Pavilion was waiting to meet Ji Ying with him.
This tea room is specially used for people to wait, at this time the room is not the owner of the Li Pavilion and Ji Ying, the several tables in the hall have been filled, and there are more than a dozen people at a glance.
Among these people were scholars like Pavilion Master Li who brought students, and there were also scholars who volunteered to submit a post to get a chance.
Everyone is coming for the name of Qingyun Academy, wanting to enroll in an exceptional school and prepare for next year's township examination.
