Chapter 062: The Rules of the Tanabata Poetry Club
The two brothers of the Qin family greeted their friends and walked into the Moon Tower.
As soon as he entered the Moon Tower, Qin Guan heard someone shouting: "Brother Shaoyou, Brother Shaoyou." ”
Qin Guan followed the sound and saw that it was his friend Zheng Da, and there were several classmates he knew well.
"Big brother, I'll go over there and have a look."
Qin Wei nodded, "I also saw the same year, go over and say hello." ”
The two separated, Qin Guan went to sit down at Zheng Da's table, Zheng Da came over and said: "Brother Shaoyou, this Qixi Poetry Meeting, have you prepared a few good poems, the poems you made before are all over Hangzhou and even Jiangnan, we are looking forward to your poems, I think Brother Qin can climb to the third floor this year." ”
Qin Guan was stunned for a moment, "What to climb to the third floor." ”
Zheng Da saw that Qin Guan didn't understand, and then he thought that Qin Guan had not participated in the student poetry club before, and he might not know the rules here, so he immediately explained it to Qin Guan.
"Due to the large number of students invited in previous years, who sits on the first floor and who sits on the second floor, or even who can climb to the third floor, and the adults and elders are here, there is no rule in previous years, and it is decided by the prefect and several other adults."
"Think about it, the students who come here, who don't want to show it in front of several adults and elders in Hangzhou Mansion, who don't want to go up to the third floor, naturally there will be people who want to go to the next level."
"But if there are too many requests, some people will criticize, so since the year before last, the prefect Lin has changed the rules, and all the literati who participated in the poetry meeting organized by the prefect's yamen sat on the first floor at the beginning."
"The prefect and a group of officials and elders went directly to the third floor."
"The other students, with the results of poetry and essays, compose a poem, which is selected by the adults, and those who are selected can go up to the second floor, and those who are selected can make another poem, and those who are selected can go up to the third floor and sit and drink with the adults."
Qin Guan thought to himself, this group of literati is really troublesome, there are so many stinky rules, drink a wine to participate in a poetry meeting, and what kind of selection competition do you have to make.
But it seems that the ancients were just like this, and they came up with all kinds of strange rules, and they were still happy to do it.
"Brother Shaoyou, you should have prepared before." Zheng Da looked at Qin Guan and asked.
"Prepare what?"
"Of course, I prepared the poems."
Qin Guan asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't it be done on the spot?" ”
Qin Guan felt that poetry can compose poetry, so it is natural to be like Cao Zhi, to make a poem in seven steps, and the inspiration on the scene will burst out.
A student next to him looked at Qin Guan in surprise and said: "Brother Qin, even if you participate in the poetry meeting, there are a few people who will compose poems on the spot, a poem often has to be tempered and carefully carved before it can be taken out and shown, do you really think that everyone is Cao Zijian." ”
Another person said: "In many poetry clubs, someone writes a good poem and wants to make a name, and then invites classmates and friends to hold a poetry club to take the opportunity to promote their poems, who is not like this." ”
This made Qin Guan stunned, it turned out that the ancients all played like this.
It seems to be a little different from what I imagined.
Zheng Da looked at Qin Guan's appearance and asked worriedly, "Brother Shaoyou won't be really unprepared, right?" ”
"Are you ready?" Qin Guan glanced at his friends at the same table.
Everyone else nodded, and Zheng Da said: "I have prepared two songs, I don't expect to go up to the third floor, I just hope to be able to go to the second floor this year." ”
Qin Guan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "It's okay, I'll just compose poems on the spot, but if I can't do it, I should watch a play." ”
At this time, Zheng Da hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice in Qin Guan's ear and said: "Brother Shaoyou, don't be despised ah, I heard that there are already people outside who are spreading that you are a "little poet fairy" in Jiangnan, and you will be lifted high, if you don't make one or two good poems this time, I am afraid that you will be laughed at and even lose your reputation." Zheng Da said.
Qin Guan was very surprised, "'Little Poetry Immortal', is there still such a rumor?" "He hadn't been out for a few days, and he really didn't know he had such a name.
As soon as I wanted to ask clearly, I heard a commotion in the hall.
"Brother Yichen is here."
"Oops, it's President Shen here."
"Brother Xing."
Qin Guan was curious who had such a big battle and could make the students in the hall greet one after another. Following the sound, I saw a few people walking into the door of the Moon Tower, the leader of the person was a young man who was also wearing a moon-white scholar's robe, his appearance could only be said to be delicate, but a pair of eyes, but it was a little bright, and it could be seen that this person was very energetic.
At this time, there were already many people in the hall who stood up to say hello, and Qin Guan also noticed that among the few people behind this person, there was an acquaintance of Qin Guan, who was Liu Su Liu Chunyuan.
"Okay, we should have prepared a few good poems this time, and we can enjoy Xingzhi's masterpiece again."
"Shen Gongzi is known as the first talent in Hangzhou, and his poetry is naturally good, and this Qixi Poetry Meeting must be Shen Gongzi who has come out on top."
"As soon as Brother Shen comes, it seems that we have no chance again."
For this Shen Yichen, Qin Guan didn't have any impression in his original memory, and asked Zheng Da next to him curiously, "What is the origin of this Shen Yichen." ”
Zheng Dadao: "Shen Yichen, the word is good, the year before last, the head of the court test, and this person is known for his literary talents, and he is very famous in Hangzhou, and is known as the first talent in Hangzhou." ”
"The first talent?"
Qin Guan was surprised, the first talent in Hangzhou, amazing.
He asked curiously: "Could it be that he is the most powerful in Hangzhou, and he has never produced any first talent before." ”
"No, the first talent is not a fixed person, there were naturally in the past, but those people will take the test in the exam, or when they are old, this title will naturally be abandoned."
"I see."
At this moment, Qin Guan suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, and he followed his gaze to meet a pair of slightly gloomy eyes, which were Liu Su.
That Liu Su said something in Shen Yichen's ear, and Shen Yichen also looked at him and confronted Qin Guan again.
Shen Yichen glanced at Qin Guan a few times, and what made Qin Guan a little stunned was that Shen Yichen actually arched his hand at Qin Guan and said hello.
Qin Guan was slightly surprised, and then laughed secretly in his heart, this Shen Yichen has some meaning. Qin Guan was not rude, and gave the other party a nod and smile back.
At that moment, there was a shout from outside the door.
"Lord Admiral Xuezheng Cui is here, Lord Lin of the prefect is here, Lord Li is here, Lord Liu of Hangzhou Zhongwu General is here, Dr. Yan, Dr. Cheng, and Dr. Li of Hangzhou Fuxue are here, and all the squires are here to ......."
With a loud shout, a group of people walked in from outside the door, and all the students in the hall got up one after another and saluted the officials who came in.
The officials who came this time did not wear official robes, but were dressed in civilian clothes of scribes.
