Zuixiang House is a well-known restaurant in Shaoming Mansion, today is the Fuwen Academy to recruit new students, there are a lot of scholars come here to book a box, hold a literary meeting.

The whole Zuixiang Building has five floors, tall and spacious, and many decorations have been specially made today, setting off an elegant atmosphere.

Lu Ming walked to the door with the invitation, and immediately Xiao Er greeted him, and said with a warm smile: "Childe is here to go to the Wenhui, right?

"Please take a look. Lu Ming handed over the invitation.

"It turned out to be Lu Xuecai, disrespectful, disrespectful, please come inside!"

Xiao Er hurriedly welcomed Lu Ming in and came to the top floor of the fifth floor.

The fifth floor is very spacious, with many banquets and the four treasures of the study room used in the literary meeting, and more than 100 scholars gathered, each talking and laughing, and there was a very lively sound.

"I heard that there will be a finale event for today's cultural meeting, which is very exciting, but we don't know what kind of event this is. ”

"Hey...... What's there to guess about? Won't we know then?"

"This year's entrance meeting is organized by the Yan family, I believe it will be a very lively cultural meeting, you see, even Yan Weidong, known as the first scribe in Suzhou, is here!"

"Huh, the young man next to Yan Wenshi is very unfamiliar, could it be Yan Weiqing, the head of the big case from the Yan family in Jiang County?"

"That's right, it's Yan Da's case, I heard that he and Lu Xuecai are incompatible, and both of them threatened to compete for the top Maocai, just for their own marriage!"

"Hmph! Yan Case first said that he was competing for the first place Maocai, I naturally have no doubt about this, but Lu Ming's guy was only given the false name of a Jiangxian University Talent because of two Mingzhou poems, in fact, everyone knows that it is because the imperial court looks at the face of Zhenzhou University Scholars, so he wants to compete for Maocai?"

"That is to say, if we call him a scholar, it means that he must be knowledgeable? That's just a false appearance, in fact, he is from a poor background, and he can't have such great ability!"

"Hey, don't say it, Lu Xuecai is here!", someone suddenly said loudly.

At this time, the eyes of many people were focused on Lu Ming's body, some with sneers, some with sarcasm, and some with expressionless faces.

"It's polite!", Lu Ming arched his hand and said.

"Hmph, it's just a fledgling boy!", an old scribe in his fifties laughed disdainfully.

"That's right, where can you compare with Feng Wenshi?", one of them flattered and agreed.

Lu Wenjie in the crowd cranked the folding fan in his hand, glanced at Yan Weiqing, and then looked at Lu Ming, and said: "Today's top show of the Wenhui, Lu Xuecai is the head of the Yan case, we can't wait!"

"Brother Wenjie, I heard that Lu Ming is your distant cousin? ”

"Lu Ming is no longer a child of the Lu family in Shaoming Mansion, so please don't compare him with our Lu family, because he is not worthy!", Lu Wenjie sneered.

The man replied, "Brother Wenjie is right!"

Lu Ming glanced around, and always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and there were many people who were paying attention to him, and it felt very unnatural.

Especially Yan Weiqing, his eyes seemed to be able to kill, full of deep resentment.

As for Lu Wenjie, in addition to some hatred, there is also some jealousy.

As for the others, their eyes are also different.

"Everyone, please be quiet!", a strong voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone stopped talking when they heard this, and their eyes shifted to a platform not far away, where a young man in his early twenties was standing, making a gesture to everyone, and said: "Below is Yan Weidong, the first scribe in Suzhou, and you are very welcome to participate in this entrance meeting, it is an honor to be here!"

Although the tone was very polite, the "First Scribe of Suzhou" also accentuated the tone, but even if some people were not convinced, they didn't dare to say anything.

Yan Weidong continued: "The purpose of this meeting is to welcome new students from all over the world to Shaoming Mansion.

"First of all, Li Qiusheng from Cangxian County, ranked first in the county in the county examination in Cangxian County, everyone applauded and welcomed!"

"In Xia Li Qiusheng, I have seen all the literary friends!", a man walked to the front, saluted everyone, and smiled.

As soon as the words fell, there was a round of applause.

"The second is Zhou Xingyun from Song County, the county test results are ranked third in Song County, and the poem is out of the county, everyone is welcome!"

"Zhou Xingyun salutes you!"

This was followed by a lively round of applause.

Yan Weidong introduced other famous scholars one after another, so that everyone knew each other, until finally he paused again and said: "Finally, I will introduce a friend, whose reputation is above the people I introduced before, I believe everyone should have heard of his name." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his face changed slightly.

"I know! He's Lu Ming!"

One person said: "His reputation is not only far superior to those in front of him, I'm afraid even the head of Yan Da's case is slightly inferior, and his Mingzhou poems are also very famous in Shaoming Mansion!"

Yan Weidong said with a smile: "That's right, Lu Ming is indeed very talented, otherwise how can he be called a university talent? I'm afraid that in a few years, his reputation will surpass that of me, the first scribe in Suzhou." ”

"Yan Wenshi really likes to joke, haha......", everyone laughed.

Lu Ming's face sank, Yan Weidong was really smart, on the surface he was praising himself, but in fact he made himself the target of everyone's eyes, as long as he praised himself, the more unconvinced others became, and immediately isolated himself.

"Everyone applauds and welcomes Lu Xuecai!"

Yan Weidong applauded, and everyone applauded too.

Lu Ming had no choice but to bow his hand to the Quartet and salute in return, and at the same time, he also noticed that many people's eyes were very unkind to him.

"Yan Wenshi is really too awarded, you are the first scribe in Suzhou, famous far and wide, and you dare not compare with you. Lu Ming said.

"Lu Xuecai is really too modest, I posted a couplet outside Shaoming Pass, isn't it only you who have the ability to take it down in the end?", Yan Weidong said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, some people immediately cast vicious glances at Lu Ming, while others geared up and secretly threatened.

Lu Wenjie and Yan Weiqing stood together, and also cast a mocking glance at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was slightly angry in his heart, and he could only turn a blind eye, and said: "It turns out that it is a couplet posted by Yan Wenshi, I don't know some rules when I first came to Shaoming Mansion, if I know that it is an absolute pasted by you, how dare I take it down? But it is good to take it down, at least it shows that it is not the first absolute in Suzhou." ”

Everyone was suddenly shocked, and shouted in a low voice: "What a boldness!"

"Crazy!"

"But this statement also makes sense, since it is not absolute, there is no need to stick it on the pass, so that we readers will not be unbalanced in our hearts!"

Yan Weidong still had a smile on his face, and said: "Okay, let's not say much else, our Wenhui doesn't have so many rules, please sit down and feel free." ”

After finishing speaking, everyone took their seats and started various chats, discussing their own poetry couplets, which was very lively.

Lu Ming was about to find a place to sit down, but at this moment, Yan Weidong greeted him with a smile on his face: "I have heard the name of Lu Xuecai for a long time, if you don't dislike it, please sit down with me!"

"Yan Wenshi, you are so polite, it is better to be respectful than to obey!"

Lu Ming considered that Yan Weidong was the owner, and if he rejected his kindness in person, not only would the Yan family lose face, but others would definitely have more opinions about him, so he could only be obedient.

"Learn to please!"

"Please!"

Lu Ming took a seat at a table of eight immortals, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and found that among them were Lu Wenjie, Yan Weilong, and Yan Weiqing, in addition to them, there were several older scribes.

It seems that Yan Weidong deliberately arranged it this way. Lu Ming thought to himself.

Because the Yan family and the Lu family are the proprietors of the Wenhui, those who can sit here must be famous people, and Yan Weidong must want to suppress his literary name.

There is only one pot of wine in total, which is equivalent to one glass per person, because there is a rule in the entrance document that you cannot drink wantonly, and if someone gets drunk and starts a drunken madness, it is a "humiliating" thing.

Therefore, in any general cultural meeting, too much wine will not be prepared, so as not to cause accidents.

"Lu Xuecai, let me introduce to you, this is Feng Lao Scribe, who started his studies late, although his literary position is not high, he is a respected veteran of Shaoming Mansion. ”

"I've seen Old Scribe Feng. Lu Ming said with a smile.

"Hmm. ”

Old Scribe Feng raised his head slightly, which was a reply to Lu Ming, and he was quite proud.

"This is the younger brother Yan Weiqing, he was born in Jiang County, and he is also your hometown, I know, you and he do have some disagreements, but no matter what, you are all from the same county, since it is rare to have a meal together, it is better to take this opportunity to shake hands and make peace, I don't know what Cousin Yan thinks?"

"Huh...... It's just a trivial matter, what a lot of worry, it's easy to solve the grievances and it's not easy to settle the knot, and of course I'm willing to blame the past. Yan Weiqing said with a smile.

Lu Wenjie immediately said: "The head of the Yan case is really an adult, and this kind of mind should be a model for my generation!"

"That's right, since the head of the case Yan is no longer guilty, can Lu Xuecai also make a statement?" Yan Weidong asked.

Lu Ming's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Yan Weidong to be so eloquent, and he said things as if he had offended Yan Weiqing, and Yan Weiqing didn't care about it, and invisibly sarcastically mocked himself, which is really amazing!

"Actually, there are some things that I have forgotten a long time ago, I don't know what the head of the case Yan is talking about?"

"That's it...... Forehead ......"

Yan Weiqing suddenly realized something, and immediately changed the topic: "It's okay to forget, it's just a trivial matter anyway." ”

"Since it's a trivial matter, why should the head of the Yan case never forget it?", Lu Ming asked with a smile.

"I ......"

Yan Weiqing's face turned red, and he didn't know how to round the field for a while, and the others also widened their eyes, secretly admiring Lu Ming's reflexes.

Yan Weiqing said that it was not enough to worry about just now, but in Lu Ming's mouth, he had long forgotten that he had completely returned the sarcasm to Yan Weiqing, leaving him with nothing to say and no way to refute.
