Chapter 172: Answering the Question
What kind of goods Zhou An is, how can the literati present not know. Seeing Zhang Changyan being insulted by this, everyone's eyes were full www.biquge.info of anger. But Zhou An didn't care at all, first, he had a supreme position in Daming Prefecture, and anyone had to respect him. Second, although this word was made by Chen Jia, Chen Jia is his subordinate, and Zhou An's heart is at ease, which is logical. The first to get the ticket to Miss Liu's recital, Zhou An was excited and speechless.
Zhang Changyan's face was ugly, and he held back his mouth for a long time before he came out with a sentence: "The villain has the ambition!"
But he didn't want to be listened to by Zhou An.
"Yohe, Zhang Runbi, you don't seem to be convinced?" Zhou An said with a tone of disdain. "You've been studying poetry for two days, and you've started to pretend to be a literati and inkman?
Moisturizing the pen, here is a derogatory term. Before Zhang Changyan studied under the Great Confucian Han Zhang, his life was very poor. In order to make a living, I worked as a pen writer who wrote words and articles in the downtown area for a period of time. This is not something to be praised, and the fact that a scholar writes for money is in itself a demeaning thing for himself. Therefore, the title of the profession of running pen has a strong ironic meaning.
Of course, since Zhang Changyan's rise, few people have mentioned Zhang Changyan's past in person, and when Zhou An talks about it at this time, it is simply an insult to his face.
"You!" Zhang Changyan's face turned red, "Zhou An, don't go too far!"
Zhou An smiled disdainfully, "Zhang Runbi, as long as you, a roe deer, still want to see everyone Liu, you still sit honestly in the hall and express your frustration with your fox friends and dog friends, save yourself a while and vomit blood, and you have to rely on my head." I don't have the money to pay you. Hahaha!"
Zhang Changyan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. As soon as this sentence was spoken, even a few scribe friends around Zhang Changyan couldn't hold it back. This was originally a contest between scribes, but Zhou Ancheng was scolded by a hooligan on the street, and he was determined for a while, but he was unforgiving, and scolded Zhang Changyan and a group of scribes. It's just unbearable.
Zhang Changyan's friend Zhao Xifeng didn't want to get involved, because this was a matter of competing for everyone's seat in the piano, and it should be an elegant thing. But now as soon as Zhou An's words came out, the scope of the attack was too wide, so that Zhao Xifeng couldn't bear it anymore.
"Zhou An, you are just the son of the city commander. Standing in the Jade Pavilion this time, with an unbridled mouth, and a very insulting thing, is it the cultivation of your Chengling Mansion? Or is this how your Daming Prefecture Mansion treats scribes?"
This hat is so big that it is impossible to say that all the scribes have done polishing, but it is true that most of the talented people have struggled from poverty. Among them, there are actually a lot of people who have done pen polishing, and the insult in Zhou An's words just now was very unpleasant for everyone to hear, and it was Zhao Xifeng who would deduct this big hat.
If Zhou An continued to admit it arrogantly, he would offend all the scribes in this scene, even if Zhou An's father was a city commander, he would not be able to suppress the excitement of these scribes. Moreover, the scribes here are not only individuals, but also have teachers and connections behind them. If he offends this pass, even Zhou An can't please him, and he is completely making enemies for his father.
Zhou An is arrogant, but he is not a fool.
"You don't come to this set. This is my affair with Zhang Changyan, you Zhao Xifeng suddenly jumped out, maybe this Zhang Changyan is your concubine? Such a hurry to maintain?" Zhou An didn't have good words on his lips, "The skills are not as good as people, and they have to press each other with righteousness, I think it is really like things to gather people in groups, in addition to liking and not being ashamed, do you have real skills? If you have real skills, you might as well make a word for me to listen to, and see the ears of everyone who can't get into Liu!"
Zhao Xifeng is not a good person, Zhou An speaks rudely, he has been prepared. Receiving this insult, he didn't even get angry, just sneered.
"It's just that with the gunmen around you, you still think you have something to do. It's really sad and ridiculous, your words are vulgar, shameless and indecent, and you are proud of yourself, it is simply shameful. If you have the ability, you might as well leave a few of your scholar gunners behind and participate in the Liu family's research. Look at what it means to learn from the truth, do you have the courage to do that?"
Of course, the music of the Liu family is just a disguise, but the real situation is to study the ability and ability of the scribe here. Of course, this threshold is a matter of face, and Zhou An first used the word to enter the threshold, not to say that he really wanted to participate in the questioning, but just wanted to lose the face of these scribes.
If you want to talk about asking questions, Zhou An is completely ignorant. Zhao Xifeng's words are completely agitated, as long as Zhou An dares to come down, can he not be made a big ugly person by Zhao Xifeng in the process of questioning?
Zhou An was shocked, not thinking that Zhao Xifeng didn't care about the matter at the moment, but put the topic behind, this Liu family's examination is naturally not just one person, although he said that he won the first place, but with the skills of Zhao Xifeng and Zhang Changyan, he may not be able to enter later.
The reason why Zhou An was not polite was just a rare opportunity to show his face, and he was just addicted to it with extremely sarcastic words. After that, he asked Tingqin, he didn't have ink in his stomach, so he must not be able to express any opinions.
Zhao Xifeng's counterattack seized Zhou An's weakness, and if Zhou An retreated at this time, the previous momentum would be completely gone.
Of course, Zhou An, as a gentleman, how could it be so easy to admit defeat and give in, but he said stubbornly: "Hey, it's better to learn from the truth? Just you can't even make a waste of words? If I don't talk to you properly, you still think I'm afraid of you!"
"It's useless to talk too much, and then you'll see. Zhao Xifeng coldly interrupted Zhou An's shouting, sneering on his face, looking at Zhou An as if he was staring at his prey. Even a bastard like Zhou An, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, feels a chill in his heart and is speechless.
At this time, a delicate and lovely girl came out of the inner courtyard of the Jade Pavilion, but she was the maid beside the Liu family. Everyone, even Zhao Xifeng and Zhou An, who were fighting aggressively before, felt that their faces had changed and saluted the maid.
"The hour is coming. The maid said with a grin, "Since you have come to participate in listening to Qin Ce's question, then according to the old rules, you must answer my question before you are eligible to enter the inner court to see the eldest lady." ”
"Sister Clear Sky, we already know the rules, so you can get the question out of the question. Everyone said.
"Hehe, it seems that all the talented people can't wait, okay, the slave family is the problem. Qingkong coughed lightly, and then looked at Zhou An, "But before the question, according to the rules, Zhou Gongzi, who won the first place in today's poetry, can enter the inner court, and this answer is not necessary." Zhou Gongzi, please come in first. ”
Zhou An turned his head and smiled sarcastically in the direction of Zhao Xifeng, and was about to step into the door, but hesitated again.
"Why, there are no dogs to follow, but you don't even dare to enter the door?" Zhao Xifeng sneered coldly, making Zhou An's brain hot.
"Come in, go in, who's afraid of whom!"
