Chapter 101: Officialdom Talks

At that time, the sky was already dark, but the Su Causeway was brightly lit, reflecting the whole stage as if it were day.

Xia Yi didn't look very pleasant, but it was estimated that it would not be too pleasant for any Hangzhou prefect to encounter such a thing.

The Oiran Competition is the best time for the prefect's yamen to generate income, but when he was the prefect, there were variables one after another, and the appearance of variables was a real snowflake silver.

Le Rui'er's death is surprising, she died, Xiaoxiang Pavilion's Kuihua tax will inevitably be greatly discounted, the Kuihua that was originally intended to be cast to Le Rui'er is either directly gone, or it will be voted for other girls, who is most likely to get the Kuihua that should belong to Le Rui?

It must be Daiyu......

The Kuihua earned by Daiyu will inevitably belong to the Yongwang Mansion, so let him go to collect the Kuihua tax from the Yongwang?

That's looking for a draw!

Xia Yi didn't know how much the previous prefect had made in the Oiran Competition, but he knew that this time he was in charge of Hangzhou, he could earn only half or even less of the silver he had made in office......

"Today's lights, according to the usual practice of this Oiran Contest will be held a singing competition, after the final statistics are over, who has the most Oiran is the Oiran of this year's Oiran Competition, you literati can give your proud works to the girls on the stage, through their mouths to sing your works, maybe you can move the world, achieve a beautiful talk."

Speaking of this, Xia Yi paused, looked at Yan Tianyuan, who was breezing his clothes in the breeze, and said: "Before that, this mansion has to say a good news, which is difficult for countless talents in the world, and the lantern of the five Oiran competitions has been cracked by a scholar surnamed Yan today, come, Yan Shi's nephew, please come to the stage."

Yan Tianyuan was completely speechless, didn't he just crack a lantern riddle, it was worth making such a fuss? This went on stage, if Xia Yi asked some tricky and weird questions, wouldn't he be ugly on the spot.

However, they have all been named, if Yan Tianyuan is a turtle with a shrunken head, he is afraid that he will lose more ugliness, so he can only stubbornly go to the stage, looking down from the stage, only to see the heads of people moving under the lights, Yan Tianyuan suddenly felt a little nervous.

Xia Yi asked, "I don't know who Yan Shi's nephew is, and who is his teacher?"

"The student is from Fuzhou, and his family is employed."

Xia Yi smiled: "It turned out that after the scholarly fragrance, then Yan Langzhong, who is now working in the Ministry of Rites?"

"It's my father."

"No wonder, no wonder." Xia Yi laughed and said: "This mansion and Ling Zun have also had several relationships, and they dare not speak of deep friendship, but they are also suitable for colleagues."

When it came to this, Yan Tianyuan could only honestly greet him: "Little nephew to meet Uncle Shi."

"The nephew doesn't need to be polite." Xia Yixu helped him and said: "The nephew can solve the mystery left by Bachelor Liu, which is enough to show that he is talented and learned, and the title of the gold list in the coming day, the Yan family is a double jinshi, which should be a good story."

"Uncle Shi praises falsely, and the little nephew should work hard to study and live up to his father's expectations."

The formulaic conversation was not mixed with the slightest emotion, which made Yan Tianyuan, who had an upright temperament, feel extremely uncomfortable.

"My nephew is here this time, but there is a girl who wants to support her, or she has prepared a masterpiece and plans to let a girl sing it for you."

"This ......" Yan Tianyuan was a little embarrassed, let him dance with a knife and a gun, let him write poems and lyrics, then it would be better to kill him.

"Haha, it's Uncle Shi who is abrupt." Xia Yi smiled to resolve Yan Tianyuan's embarrassment, and continued: "The nephew can crack Bachelor Liu's anagram, and he is a great talent, but does the nephew know that after Bachelor Liu left the anagram, he once made a triptych?"

Yan Tianyuan shook his head, his face a little blue.

"This is a beautiful talk of officialdom, and it is not surprising that my nephew has never heard of it." Xia Yi smiled lightly: "Bachelor Liu's good union, for decades in the folk encountered the triptych, but has never been the right neatness, so it has always been a pity, once said that if anyone can solve this mystery, then let the person who cracked this triptych, if it can be the right neatness, he will be accepted as a disciple of the family, teaching studies!"

Xia Yi's words suddenly made the audience restless, this matter is not a secret in the officialdom, and there have been many pairs in the officialdom, but there is nothing that can satisfy Bachelor Liu, the most unfortunate thing to be able to enter the officialdom is a lifter, he is not neat, where is he embarrassed to publicize it everywhere, so the reputation of this triad in Shilin is not obvious.

The reason why the audience is restless is entirely because of Liu Jian himself, this is a university scholar, the first assistant of the cabinet, and his protégé is all over the world.

So after Xia Yi's words came out, the readers in the audience were excited, although they are famous children, but no one is a saint, if there is a shortcut, who is willing to be down-to-earth, step by step......

However, they don't want to think about it, with the talent of Master Liu and so many predecessors of Confucianism have not been able to answer the perfect couplet, it can be seen how difficult this triptych is, although this road is a shortcut, but it is full of thorns, where will it be so easy to walk.

Yan Tianyuan looked at the audience from time to time, wanting to slip away but couldn't move, he didn't dare to leave, it didn't matter if his reputation was over, but he would have to burden his father......

It seems that he can only pretend to be dead, after all, Xia Yi said that this triptych has troubled Bachelor Liu for many years, so he pretended to think hard for a while, and then admitted that he was not right, and it seemed that he had said it in the past.

Nonsense must not be nonsense, if the pair that comes out is bullshit, then it is really ridiculous and generous.

Seeing Yan Tianyuan nodding, Xia Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Listen, nephew, the upper link of this first joint is half-mountain and half-water with the countryside."

The audience was silent, and the readers present began to think about the next link.

The couplet is a neat thing, and the traps hidden in the couplet must be avoided when you step on it, otherwise it will be a joke even if you step on it, no matter how perfect it sounds.

Half-mountain and half-water with the countryside, it doesn't sound too difficult, but you can taste it carefully and find that two and a half words in this short seven words also have a homophonic companion, and the other is the landscape and countryside, which together make people can't help but think of a misty and rainy mountain village scene.

Yan Tianyuan frowned and pondered, in fact, he thought about a fart, but he just pretended to waste time.

After half a cup of tea, Yan Tianyuan deliberately exhaled a breath, and was about to admit defeat, when he heard a voice from below: "Why don't you Zhu come and try?"

When the words landed, Zhu Houwei walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, and said to Xia Yi: "Huzhou scholar Zhu Shimao has seen Lord Fuzun."

Xun Bi, who was sitting upright in the audience, shook his head with a wry smile, impeaching King Yong for leaving Huzhou without permission?

Look at King Yong's current posture, directly in front of the public, in front of everyone's eyes, will he be afraid of your impeachment?

You must know that although there were few Hangzhou officials who had seen King Yong in person, Xia Yike was invited to the Grand Theater and accompanied him to King Yong's Mansion to meet him.
