The third watch was delivered to ...... Do you want to continue the third watch tomorrow? Okay, it depends on whether the official branch is supportive or not, and whether you are enthusiastic or not......

Mid-Autumn Festival, the night of the full moon.

At the beginning of night, the disc-like moon jumped over the willow branches, eager to sprinkle the soft moonlight to the world.

The Tiantong Dynasty is a heavy season, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival in the year, which is to every day, as large as the city, as small as the countryside, it is extraordinarily grand, and the atmosphere is extremely lively.

On this day, the curfew in Jiangzhou City was also postponed from the time of the day to the time of the child, in order to allow the people to enjoy themselves on the night of the reunion.

The bright moon in the sky is the focus of 10,000 people, and the focus of the entire Jiangzhou City tonight is naturally the champion building.

In order to celebrate the qualification for next year's township examination, Wu Dagongzi, the former Zhizhou and the current Ministry of Rites, spent thousands of dollars to package the entire champion building, and held a banquet, inviting officials with heads and faces in Jiangzhou, as well as teachers and students of Minghua College, as well as famous literati and scholars in Jiangzhou......

The number of guests reached more than 300.

It can be said that the specifications of this banquet are so high that they are at least a dozen floors.

The Champion Building has only three floors.

The specific banquet was arranged and arranged long ago, and the students of Minghua Academy were uniformly divided into the first floor, while the ordinary literati and slightly lower-level officials were arranged on the second floor; as for the third floor, all of them were heavyweights.

The distinct floors represent the distinct hierarchies.

The Tiantong Dynasty is a ceremonial state, and the rules and specifications are clearly divided and cannot be crossed, otherwise it will become a handle for being attacked.

The lights in the champion building are bright, laughter is constant, and dozens of shop juniors are busy and busy.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the first and second floors, the third floor seems relatively calm.

On the third floor of the Zhuangyuan Building, the decoration is luxurious, and the screens and painting walls that are usually used for partitions have basically been removed, forming a large space.

The place is not small, but there are only three tables.

In the center of the main table, the person sitting is dignified, with three flowing long beards, it is Nie Zhiyuan, the master of Zhizhou, Nie Xiaoqian's father.

At the same table, the host Wu Wencai can certainly occupy a seat and sit next to Nie Zhizhou, and the rest of the people have Lord Tongzhi and Lord Tongju. One of them, over sixty years old, with a clear face, but it was Song Zhiyuan, a famous Confucian scholar in Jiangzhou, who annotated the rites of the sage "De", but was included in the imperial examination category by the imperial court, printed all over the world, pivotal, and influential.

As for Nie Xiaoqian, she used a screen to enclose a place in the corner of the side, like a small room, eating alone in it, and her own maid was waiting.

During the banquet, Song Zhiyuan suddenly asked Wu Wencai: "Wencai, it is said that you have a classmate named Chen Jianchen, a young talent, very good, can you have such a son?"

Wu Wencai pouted, and the boss replied reluctantly: "There is indeed such a person, but it is not easy to judge what the young talent said, he took the scientific examination this year, but he only got a fourth-class score." ”

Song Zhiyuan stroked his beard and smiled: "Jingyi Shiwen, not equal leisure, it is not surprising that he has just entered the academy and has not played well...... Well, it is said that when you went to Beacon Mountain in March this year, he immediately wrote a poem "Dusk", the poem said: Towards the evening is smoky, Xiao Xiaodeng is precipitous, and the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk. This poem has great talent, is it really his three-step work?"

Wu Wencai complained bitterly in his heart, he really didn't expect Chen Jianchen's poem to have such a great influence, and even Song Zhiyuan praised it, but this matter had already spread all over the world, and it was impossible to deny it, so he said: "It was true at that time." ”

Zhang Tong next to him looked at his face and looked at his face, and interjected at this time: "Master Song, that "Dusk" is indeed a good poem, with far-reaching artistic conception and philosophical vigilance. However, looking at its meaning, Xiao Suo is deep, and it doesn't seem like what a seventeen-year-old boy can do. ”

The implication is that Chen Jianchen is suspected of deceiving the world and stealing his name.

Hearing this, Wu Wencai was immediately very happy, and quietly made a gesture to Zhang Tongju to express his gratitude.

Zhang Tong's heart was full of joy when he was judged: Wu Shang only had one son under his knees, and he was extremely fond of Wu Wencai, and he took Wu Gongzi's line, which was equivalent to taking Wu Shang's line, and there were many benefits.

Nie Zhizhou's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said: "This poem is also famous in Zhizhou, and it is indeed good. ”

He didn't say much about it, but everyone else already knew his attitude and position -- such an instant poem, without knowing the title in advance, the possibility of trying to deceive was very small, it was like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

Song Zhiyuan was noncommittal, and smiled: "It turns out that Lord Zhizhou also thinks that this son is talented...... Well, tonight's banquet, this son is also invited, why don't you invite him to come, wait for me to wait for a good student to see? If it is really a talent that can be created, he should be encouraged to make him a talent, and he can become a pillar of Jiangzhou one day. ”

Nie Zhizhou said with a smile: "Dashan, we haven't seen such an amazing future in Jiangzhou for many years, and today is a good opportunity, we must invite him to come and see him." ”

Song Fuzi proposed, Nie Zhizhou agreed, and everyone had anything else to say, of course, they all echoed and agreed.

Wu Wencai scolded in his heart: Anyway, he is the only protagonist tonight, after eating and drinking, he took the opportunity to propose to Nie Xiaoqian in public by taking advantage of the donkey to go downhill, what a joy!

But if Chen Jianchen ran over, it would be a big deal. What if that kid does well and can't steal all the limelight?

Never let him be on the third floor......

In just an instant, Wu Wencai's mind made a decision, and he said: "Two uncles, please wait, I will send someone to call Chen Jianchen." ”

After speaking, he left the table and went outside, commanded the faithful servant Wangcai, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Na Wangcai comprehended, walked downstairs, found Chen Jianchen on the first floor, and said, "Chen Gongzi, my son-in-law is invited." ”

Chen Jianchen was stunned, got up and followed Wangcai, but walked outside the building, until he walked to an alley outside the champion building.

The alley is a little gray, there is no one in front and back, where can I find Wu Wencai?

What's going on?

Chen Jianchen immediately became vigilant and looked at Wangcai with burning eyes.

Wangcai clasped his hands to his chest and said in a rough voice: "Chen Gongzi, my son-in-law said that he doesn't like you very much." Tonight's banquet is only due to etiquette. Now that you've eaten and drunk, it's time to go back. ”

Eviction order.

An eviction order with a fig leaf!

Chen Jianchen was silent, surprisingly calm, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then thank you for your son-in-law's hospitality." ”

Turned and drifted away.

Wangcai was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Jianchen to behave so safely, and thought that he would be angry, anyway, the son has already explained, if Chen Jianchen dares to complain, he can do it, and the son will be responsible for everything. Now that Chen Jianchen is interested in leaving, he has saved a lot of effort.

He watched Chen Jianchen go away, and then returned to the Zhuangyuan Building and returned to Wu Wencai.

Wu Wencai praised: "Well done. ”

Returning to the banquet, he said to Nie Zhizhou and Song Zhiyuan: "Two uncles, just now the next person reported that when he went to call Chen Jianchenlou, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said that there was an urgent matter at home, and then left the table in a hurry. ”

Hearing these words, whether it was Nie Zhizhou, Song Zhiyuan, or everyone present, they couldn't help but show a strange look on their faces, and they all felt that this matter was too coincidental.

The Zhang Tong judge Ma Yin Yang said strangely: "If you want to invite him to the building, you will say that there is an urgent matter at home? ”

Song Zhiyuan's face was also a little ugly, and he said: "This son is rude, and if you say something, the elders please, don't dare to resign." Even if his family is in a hurry, he should tell the story in person, and An Neng left in a panic?"

And they joined in.

Nie Zhizhou was also quite displeased: Chen Jianchen obviously had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to come, could he really be a person who deceived the world and stole his name? No matter what, his behavior has made people feel very disappointed, and he is still optimistic about him in vain.

At this time, the boy who he thought was a deceptive and famous, but he was already on his way home, and wanted to rush back as soon as possible to enjoy the moon with his mother Bao and have a happy reunion festival.

"Chen Jianchen, wait for me!"

A crisp cry.

Chen Jianchen Huo Ran turned around, and saw Nie Xiaoqian, dressed in men's clothes, stepping on the moon, with picturesque eyebrows, as if she was coming out of the moon, smiling, and resentful.

"Nie Xiaoqian, why are you here?"
