Chapter 21: The Leader
"The lights of the third watch and the fifth watch of the chicken are when the boy is studying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The poem "info" is really right, the sky is bright at the fifth watch, and we readers should get up early to read!"
"The black hair doesn't know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late. This poem is even more to the point, if you don't hurry up and study hard, you will regret wasting your time in the future. ā
"That's right, old man, doesn't he regret it?"
Feng Wenshi beat his chest and cried regardless of his image, very sad.
Some older scribes were also deeply touched, looking at this "Persuasion" for a long time, they sighed helplessly.
"The black hair doesn't know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late......"
Many readers silently recited in their hearts, and then, a burst of applause broke out in unison, like thunder.
Lu Ming was also deeply touched, thinking: "This is a motivational poem, since I wrote it, then from tomorrow, I will also study hard from the fifth watch, no matter what, I will also compete for this year's Maocai, and I can't relax!"
"The poem that is almost Zhenguo, I'm afraid that the first scribe of Suzhou has never written it, right?"
I don't know who said it, Yan Weidong's face suddenly changed in shock, and anger burst out in his eyes, indeed, Lu Ming's poem is really a once-in-a-century persuasion poem, if it were him, he would never be able to write it.
But at this time, someone launched an attack on Yan Weidong's literary name, which was simply an insult to him.
Scholars from other places also coaxed: "The first scribe in Suzhou didn't write a poem that was almost a town, how is this possible?"
"If it had been written, it would have been published in the newspaper as soon as possible, but there was no news about it in the newspaper. ā
"After all, Yan Wenshi is a person from Shaoming Mansion, and his vision is naturally different from ours, in their eyes, we can only be county people!"
"Fortunately, I'm from the county, otherwise our vision would be the same as theirs, how terrible it would be!"
One by one, cynicism attacked the hearts of the scholars in Shaoming Mansion, and they were all red-faced and speechless.
Yan Weidong was even more angry and gritted his teeth, almost scolding, but in the end he couldn't help but not explode.
Once it is rude, it is not a matter of losing face, but also a matter of ruining the reputation of the article, he doesn't want the reputation he has accumulated so hard to be ruined.
"Lu Xuecai really deserves his reputation, and he actually wrote a poem that is almost Zhenguo, I admire it, I'm afraid that the name of Suzhou No. 1 will have to be given to you."
Yan Weidong said as he bowed his hand.
"I don't dare to be the first! I don't dare to grab the first place in Suzhou, after all, the first in Suzhou is not the first in the world, and I am not interested in it. Lu Ming said.
"What did you say?"
Yan Weidong's face was extremely ugly, the name of Suzhou No. 1 was so worthless in Lu Ming's eyes, this was simply a shame!
If you don't put Suzhou No. 1 in your eyes, you don't put him in your eyes.
"Well said! Suzhou No. 1 is not No. 1 in the world, what's the big deal? If you want to do it, you can be No. 1 in the world, that is really great!"
"Brother Tai's words are reasonable! Suzhou is the first, that is just the first in Suzhou, what if it is placed in the whole country, or the entire Shenglin Continent? Not to mention Lu Xuecai, I am afraid that even the champion will not be ranked!"
Feng Wenshi wiped away his tears and said respectfully: "Lu Xuecai has great ambitions, we are ashamed of ourselves, today I can see "Persuasion" is like a sudden enlightenment, I am empowered, and I am better than reading a book for ten years, please be worshiped by the old man!"
"What Old Scribe Feng said is extremely true, this "Persuasion" is rare in the world, please accept our gift!"
As soon as the words fell, many scholars saluted Lu Ming one after another, and their attitudes were very respectful, as if they were treating a university scholar.
Lu Ming's face changed in shock, he didn't expect this situation at all, and immediately said: "Fellow writers, I can't help it, I can't help it, where can I afford you such a big gift?"
"Today, I saw Xuecai's song "Persuasion", and the five bodies that I admired in my heart fell to the ground, and I didn't dare to be disrespectful, Sage Confucius can still worship children as teachers, so what's the harm if we salute you?"
"That's right, you are the most talented person we have ever met, not only are the couplets good, but even the poems are so good, and you are a talented person in Jiangxian University, and we looked down on you before, thinking that you were opportunistic...... I'm ashamed!"
"We think we are superior, today we know how arrogant we are, from now on, in the next five watch to get up early to study, perseverance, will not forget the sentence 'black hair does not know how to study early, white head regrets reading late'!"
Lu Ming's face changed, he took three steps back, and bowed deeply to everyone: "Thank you for your love, Xiaosheng is grateful!"
"You're welcome!"
Many readers are convinced, and no one dares to give birth to the slightest contempt.
"The black hair doesn't know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late, this sentence will definitely be passed down through the ages!", Feng Wenshi said firmly.
"Old scribe Feng, don't regret wasting your time anymore, it's not too late to realize it at this time!", Lu Ming said.
"That's right, the old man knows. Feng Wenshi nodded.
A scholar said: "Having said that, since Lu Xuecai has become a poet in Mingzhou, almost a town, he should be ranked at the top of the literary club, I don't know what you think?"
"I'm for it!"
"I'm for it too!"
Many people have expressed their stance one after another, and they all support Lu Ming's "Persuasion" to become the first in the rankings.
Even the local scholars who originally looked down on Lu Ming were impressed by Lu Ming's "Persuasion", and they didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction or opposition.
Yan Weilong's face was pale, he felt embarrassed, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and his gaze at Lu Ming burst out with angry flames.
"This son is really a blockbuster, and he must not stay!"
The killing intent flashed in Yan Weidong's eyes, which made Yan Weilong suddenly startled, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Since everyone agrees that this is the case, then I announce that Lu Ming won the first place in this cultural meeting, the second place is Yan Weilong, the third place is Lu Wenjie, and the fourth place is ......"
After Yan Weidong announced the rankings, he held his talent jade pendant in one hand and assigned credits to everyone.
A moment later, Lu Ming's talent jade pendant flashed, showing two hundred and forty credits, of which forty points were his own, and two hundred points were rewards, and his face showed a look of satisfaction.
Lu Wenjie couldn't help but cast an envious glance at Lu Ming, but soon snorted coldly and walked to the other side.
Yan Weidong looked at the rising moon outside the window, and then said to everyone: "It's not too early, today's cultural meeting will end here, I hope you will continue to come to participate in the admission cultural meeting next year." ā
"Thank you Yan Wenshi for your hospitality, I am so grateful!", everyone thanked them.
Yan Weidong also smiled politely: "Everyone is polite, come here, send off guests!"
"Farewell!", many people left one after another.
Lu Ming also followed the crowd and left, leaving the Zuixiang Building.
When it was all over, Yan Weidong's face no longer had the original smile, but was replaced by an extremely gloomy face, and he suddenly burst into a loud shout: "Bastard!
"Big brother, Lu Ming is indeed extraordinary, I am afraid that I am the great enemy of my Yan family in the future!", Yan Weilong said in a low voice.
"We have to find a way to get rid of him to prevent future troubles!"
"No, he is a scholar brought by Yang Xiuyuan, if we kill him, maybe our Yan family in Shaoming Mansion will be in great trouble!"
"Joke, when the head of the court is the backer of my Yan family, with him, who are we afraid of?", Yan Weidong sneered.
"Big brother, it's not that you don't know Yang Xiuyuan's temper, he is the one who almost slaughtered Jiao, Uncle Shoufu doesn't dare to offend him easily, if we kill Lu Ming, he won't have to wash our Shaoming Mansion in blood?"
"What's more, Lu Ming is now a student of the Fuwen Academy, and with the protection of the Fuwen Academy, we can't run to the Fuwen Academy to kill him, right?
"So, we have to find a way to get rid of Lu Ming secretly, and we have to be unaware and unaware!"
Yan Weidong gritted his teeth, his face was very ugly, because this idea was very bold and difficult to do.
"If this person is not removed, he will definitely threaten the entire Yan family in the future, and I will never allow this kind of thing to happen!"
......
Lu Ming and other scholars returned to the Academy of Literature, and they also talked and laughed with everyone on the way, and met many new friends.
"Lu Xuecai, your poem "Persuasion" made us feel a lot of emotion and benefited a lot, and it is really a blessing to know you!"
"This poem "Persuasion" will definitely appear in the literary newspaper of Shaoming Mansion, once it has a wide impact, it will be a very great thing!"
"Lu Xuecai, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to us, if the people of the Yan family dare to embarrass you, we will be the first to stand up and help you, I will let them know that our scholars from other places are not easy to bully!"
"Yes, we are all scholars from other places, and we should be in the same boat, otherwise we will be bullied by those people!"
Lu Ming's heart warmed when he heard this, and he said to everyone: "Thank you for your kindness!"
"Lu Xuecai, tomorrow we want to invite you to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers, I wonder what you think?" asked a young man with a smile.
Lu Ming said slowly: "Although it is said that these two astronomical academies will recruit new students and will not officially start classes, I still hope to stay in the dormitory tomorrow and review the knowledge I have learned in the past." ā
"Reviewing the old and learning the new, Lu Xuecai is really studious!"
"I'm ashamed that I've been busy these past few days and haven't had time to study, so from tomorrow onwards, I plan to focus all my energy on reading. ā
"In that case, we won't be reluctant, huh, let's go to the dormitory, Lu Xuecai, let's communicate again if we have time, and rest early." ā
"You too, good night!"
Lu Ming returned to the dormitory, at this time, Chu Yunxuan and Gao Meng were already asleep, only Qin Xu had not returned.
"Qin Xu, this guy, why didn't he go back to the dormitory so late?", Lu Ming wondered in his heart.
