It was getting dark, and the scholars who participated in the literary meeting filled the entire Yingxian Building, as many as hundreds of people. There are many people, and there are many tributes, and a few jinshi are dotted among them.

Not long after, Xie Dongliu, Yang Dong, Liu Junshou, Chen Donggu, the head of the Chen Mansion, and Chen Shuwen, the county commander, came together.

After all the scholars stood up to greet each other and salute each other, tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival officially began.

Yang Dong saw Zhang Yi at a glance, waved him over, looked at Zhang Yi a few times, and said with a smile: "You kid is really amazing, in half a year, you have become a person from the sky." ”

Zhang Yi bowed and saluted, and said, "I have seen the Yuanjun, Zhang Yi has today, thanks to the care of all the adults." ”

He is sincerely grateful, whether it is Yang Dong or Xie Dongliu and Liu Junshou, they have taken a lot of care of Zhang's mansion before. Otherwise, the days before Zhang's mansion would probably be much more difficult.

"You're still so polite and polite. Yang Dong praised Zhang Yi twice, turned his head to look at Xie Dongliu and the others, and grinned: "Let this kid sit with me tonight, a few adults won't compete with me, right?"

"Who doesn't know that you are the most protective of Zhang Yi, don't worry, no one will rob you!" Liu Junshou smiled, and when he said this, he glanced at Chen Donggu and Chen Shuwen slightly, observing the reactions of the two.

Chen Shuwen is the youngest among all and has the lowest official position, but it does not mean that he has the lowest status. If he is not acting as the county commander today, with his Jinshi civil status, his status is not below Liu Junshou and Yang Dong.

He looked at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi was also looking at him.

The corners of Chen Shuwen's mouth outlined a smile, and the corners of his eyes revealed a gloomy color, and he chuckled: "Zhang Jieyuan is the head of the three heroes of the white horse, and he is also the poet of Zhenguo, and he is the living signboard of my Longbow City. ”

Zhang Yi smiled slightly: "The county commander has praised it falsely, Zhang Yi will definitely do his best not to disappoint the county magistrate." ”

"Almost every poem of Zhang Zhenguo is Zhenguo, and I don't think even the poet Li Sansi from thirty years ago can't compare. As long as Zhang Zhenguo is promoted to Jinshi, there is no doubt that he will be a poet. Chen Donggu's face was full of smiles, his face was full of smiles, and there was no hatred in the slightest.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but raise his vigilance, this kind of old fox is terrifying when it comes to yin people. A simple-minded person like Chen Shuwen, even if he is strong, will not cause much harm to himself.

Jinshi Bajun, respectively, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, sword shooting.

Li Sansi originally monopolized the Ten Wine Swords and Three Uniques, and even Daoyi Academy was extremely favored by him. Chen Donggu said this in front of hundreds of scholars in Yingxian Building, not hating Zhang Yila, what is it?

Zhang Yi bowed his hand to greet Chen Donggu and said, "This must be Mr. Donggu, the head of the Chen Mansion, right? I heard that Mr. Donggu participated in the ten palace examinations and became a jinshi, and was extremely praised by His Majesty, calling you Mr. Panshi." Since I participated in the township examination, every time I think of Mr. Donggu's story, I feel extremely inspired and invigorated, and Zhang Yineng's achievements today are inseparable from Mr. Panshi. ”

Chen Donggu and Chen Dongting are siblings, but the gap between the two on the road of study and cultivation is too big. Chen Dongting is far ahead of others on the road of cultivation, if it were not for the amazing and brilliant three-handsome genius Li Sansi, he would almost be a role model for the younger generations of scholars in the world.

And Chen Donggu's talent in reading is almost the same as that of his son Chen Xiangwen. It took three times to pass the township and county tests, the government and state tests added up to a total of six times, and the palace test took ten years.

He was ten years older than Chen Dongting, but he passed the palace examination five years late. The nickname of Mr. Panshi is not a good reputation, but the scholars at that time deliberately called him so in order to ridicule the gap between him and his brother Chen Dongting.

Chen Shuwen heard Zhang Yi ridicule his father like this, and immediately became furious.

Chen Donggu's eyes were quick, and he secretly held it down, as if he was nothing, and talked to Zhang Yi with a smile: "Thank you Zhang Zhenguo for the compliment, please come here, let's sit down." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please. Zhang Yi turned sideways and asked Xie Dongliu and the others to sit first, which was etiquette.

After Xie Dongliu and Chen Donggu sat down, Liu Junshou Yang Dong and Chen Shuwen entered the ranks in turn, this is the rule. Zhang Yi sat down at this time, there were more than a dozen seats on the main table, and the remaining few places were occupied by several famous family owners, and the heads of the Qiao Mansion of Fengfu were among them, Zhang Yi smiled and greeted them, and was very familiar.

......

The maid Xiao Er rushed in, holding moon cakes and wine and delicacies in her hands, and placed them on the table in front of the readers. Xie Dongliu raised his glass to toast, all the readers stood up to return the salute, and the Mid-Autumn Festival officially began.

The steward of the Chen Mansion brought incense sticks and sacrifices, and set up the altar. Xie Dongliu, Chen Donggu and others lined up in front of the window in order of status, and the scholars stood behind them and began to worship the moon.

The festival ends quickly, the stewards beat the drum bell together, pass the flowers to dance in turn, the beauties sing and sing, the spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemums are often worshipped, and the festival is endless.

The readers silently recited Qu Zi's "Ritual Soul": "Cheng Lixi will be able to drum, pass on the dance of Baxi, and the concubine will advocate the grace and harmony; Chunlan Xi Qiu Ju, which will last forever." ”

In ancient times, Qu Zi's status was only below the master. His "Nine Songs" was specially used to sacrifice all things in heaven and earth, and even now, it is a ballad that must be sung by all countries during sacrifices.

After three rounds of drinking, the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Conference entered the main topic.

The maids carried lanterns into the building, which were filled with lantern riddles and pairs, and the scholars played a game of guessing lantern riddles and pairs.

Zhang Yi did not participate, and chatted with Yang Dong and Xie Dongliu about the problems of reading and practice, and benefited a lot. As for the question of refining the atrium, he asked a few more words.

Two hours later, a man not far from the main table stood up, bowed to the adults, and then looked at all the readers, and said with a smile: "Everyone, tonight is a beautiful moonlight, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is better to ask you to chant poems against you." ”

"Every year the Mid-Autumn Festival is indispensable for this matter, and it is naturally as it should be. But today is different, Zhang Xie Yuan is a poet of Zhenguo, and Chen Xianling is a new jinshi, they are all young talents, it is better for them to take the lead. Xie Dongliu stood up, looked around at the scholars, and then fixed his gaze on Zhang Yi and Chen Shuwen.

It stands to reason that Chen Donggu, as the head of a wealthy family, is naturally above Xie Dongliu. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is hosted by the Fuwen Academy, which is a major event of the imperial court, and Xie Dongliu, the monarch of the Fuwen Academy, is the real person in charge.

Chen Shuwen grinned: "The lower officials obey orders." ”

Zhang Yi smiled and nodded: "Lord Yuanjun said so, and the county magistrate is willing to advise, then Zhang Yi should accompany him to the end." ”

He had already communicated with Xie Dongliu just now, Xie Dongliu did this, naturally to catch Chen Fu off guard, if they couldn't get off the stage from the beginning, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be really good-looking.

One is a new Jinshi, the next head of the wealthy Chen Mansion, and the current acting county commander of Longbow City.

The other is a man from heaven, a poet of the country, known as the head of the three heroes of the white horse with Confucian qualifications, and a real young genius.

The readers applauded in unison, and they could predict that the duel between these two would definitely be a good-looking battle between the two. (To be continued.) )
