Shen Yichen on the other side didn't know about the conversation that took place in the carriage of Houfu, in fact, even if he knew, maybe Shen Yichen would be more inclined to Taining Hou.

Because only those who have experienced the beating of society can understand that the word "door-to-door" is cruel, but it is very realistic. And "the love of parents is far-reaching", Taininghou, as a father, has such an idea to consider.

When he returned home, Shen Yichen quickly put aside what happened at night and began to read and write Bagu Wen intently.

For the current Shen Yichen, it can be regarded as a deep understanding of what it means to be inferior in everything, only reading is high.

In these years, if you don't rely on reading to make a name for yourself in the imperial examination, you are really nothing. Like today, Zhu Ji is clearly slandered, even if you go to the government, you still have to kneel and be reprimanded, and there is no way to deal with him.

This is the reason why status and power have been pursued by countless people......

In this way, day by day, Shen Yichen's knowledge is also growing rapidly. From the beginning of an eight-strand article, it took three or four hours to write, and now it only takes one hour to solve the problem at the beginning to the end, and the efficiency and quality have been improved several times simultaneously.

In addition, in terms of the scriptures, after determining the "Shangshu" as his own scripture, Shen Yichen also began to study step by step.

However, compared with the Four Books, the content of the Pentateuch is more profound and difficult to understand, and it is difficult to even memorize it smoothly from beginning to end at the initial stage, let alone memorize the writing of articles or something.

Fortunately, Shen Yichen worshipped Lin Zhen as a teacher, and Lin Zhen is definitely among the top few in the world today. If there is any question that you don't understand, you can get answers from Lin Zhen, and even draw inferences.

At the same time, Shen Yichen also understood why Li Tingxiu wanted to personally send himself to worship the master as a teacher. Indeed, the knowledge of the champion is unparalleled in the world, and it is not possible to accept it.

The disadvantage is that Shen Yichen is even more tired, in addition to running to the Chengguo Mansion every day, he often has to go to Lin Zhen's mansion to learn the scriptures, and he is almost busy with his feet touching the ground.

Time flies, autumn goes to winter, and the time soon arrives on the day of the winter solstice of the eighth year of orthodoxy.

As a traditional solar term in China, the ancient folk have a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year", so the family school also gives the students a day off to go home for the festival.

However, Shen Yichen did not stay at home, but was invited by the industry teacher Lin Zhen to go to the Winter Solstice Poetry Club on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

As one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing City is also the center of science and politics in the entire south, and there are many literati and scholars. In addition, the Winter Solstice Poetry Club has been prestigious for a long time in the territory of Nanzhili, and well-known talents from other places have also gone to the meeting, and the Qinhuai River can be described as a crowd of people for a while.

In order to hold this poetry meeting, the entire Nanjing literary officialdom can be regarded as fully prepared. Not only did they charter the teahouse inns on both sides of Qinhuai, but also connected the Qinglou painting boats with iron cables, forming a scene of several boats and boats, which was convenient for the literati and scholars to shuttle and wander.

Even the "Qu Jue" and "Dance Jue" in Qin Huai's Four Uniques were invited to accompany them, namely Dong Yujing of Fengming Pavilion and Xu Jiaren of Yan Chunfang.

Among them, Dong Yujing, a famous player of Fengming Pavilion, is regarded as a popular candidate for Qinhuai Oiran next year. Therefore, many readers who participated in the Winter Solstice Poetry Club, in addition to chanting poems, also had the idea of seeing the beauty of the style.

The main venue, Fengming Pavilion, was already full of people at the moment, Lin Zhen, who was the chief judge, was in the chief position, and in the direction of his left and right hands, there were Sun Tixue, the great master of Nanzhili, and Yin Li Min of Yingtianfu.

In addition, there are also doctors from the academy, contemporary Confucians, and so on. These are the judges of this evening, and they will review the excellent works of the talented people at the poetry meeting.

After Shen Yichen entered Fengming Pavilion, he quietly found a corner to sit down, and did not choose to go to the main table to greet Lin Zhen.

Because the matter of apprenticeship has not spread, except for a few people, the outside world does not know that Zhuangyuan Gongxin has accepted a disciple.

And Lin Zhen has always liked to be low-key, and at this time, he stepped forward to salute and greet, and he was inevitably suspected of being in the limelight. In addition, participating in this Winter Solstice Poetry Meeting was not Shen Yichen's will, it was purely a teacher's fate, and it would be considered a mistake to find a corner to get around.

As the literati who participated in the meeting gradually arrived, Lin Zhen looked at the grand scene in front of him, and said to Yin Li Min of Yingtianfu, who was at the same table: "Lord Li, today's poetry meeting is very lively, Yingtianfu is under your rule, it is really full of talents." ”

"The champion is too praised, Ying Tianfu is already an outstanding person, and the official is just taking advantage of the trend."

"Master Li, this is your modesty."

"Where, where ......"

The two of them played officialdom politely, and they looked like guests and hosts.

Judging from the scene alone, Lin Zhen is like the host who controls the right to speak, and also sits in the chief, and Li Min is the next guest.

However, in terms of official rank, Tianfu Yin is the third grade, and Lin Zhen was the highest before he resigned from the Hanlin Academy, and the difference between the two grades was huge.

The reason why it will be the other way around is that it involves the difference between Beijing officials and foreign officials, even if Nanjing is one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, but the gold content of the grade is far inferior to that of the Beijing Division.

More importantly, Lin Zhen was awarded the Hanlin Academy as the champion and the first, and if he did not resign, he would be recognized as a candidate for "prime minister", and the ceiling of the two sides was not at the same level at all.

In addition, who knows if Lin Zhen will be reinstated to Beijing one day, there are countless cases of ups and downs of officials like this in the Ming Dynasty. Today seems to be an idler, but tomorrow may be the important minister who controls life and death!

So even if Lin Zhen has no official position, Li Min still doesn't dare to slack off.

The bigwigs at the main table played official tones with each other, and the literati at the table also talked happily with each other.

Take the table next to Shen Yichen as an example, the scribes who don't know each other have reported their homes, looking like they hate to see each other. And most of them have made great achievements, and it can be seen from this that tonight's poetry meeting is indeed a gathering of talented people.

"Brother Ziyu, there are many talents tonight, who do you think will be able to dominate in the end?"

"I think Ying Tianjuzi Zeng Mengjian should be the first!"

Zeng Mengjian?

Suddenly hearing this name, Shen Yichen couldn't help but prick up his ears, could it be that Zeng Mengjian from the inner courtyard school?

"Brother Zeng is really talented, but recently I heard that at the grandfather Guo's family banquet, he seems to have been overwhelmed by a schoolboy."

When he heard the family banquet of the Guogong Mansion, Shen Yichen was basically sure that it was Zeng Mengjian from the inner courtyard school.

It's normal to think about it, at the age of twenty, you can afford to be a young talent in any dynasty, and it is reasonable to be able to participate in today's Winter Solstice Poetry Conference.

"You don't know this, it's not a schoolboy, but the illegitimate son of Grandpa Guo. The officials present at the family banquet, who dared to let the grandfather and son of the country lose, so the result was already doomed. ”

"Little brother, you're still young after all......"

"Taught!"

The younger scholar nodded solemnly after hearing this, it seems that this banquet is not talented, but sophisticated.

Depend on......

Shen Yichen, who was eavesdropping on the side, almost didn't vomit blood, he had to be so good in front of the officials, how could he be mixed with the current virtue.

"I don't agree with it, that schoolboy's "Linjiang Immortal" must have been heard of by everyone, it is definitely a shocking work, and it is not surprising to win Zeng Juzi!"

Another literati at the same table stood up to refute and strongly supported Shen Yichen's "Linjiang Immortal".

"That's right, even if there is no such thing as a family banquet, Zeng Mengjian can't be the first. Liu Pu'an, who was raised at the age of sixteen in Xuzhou Mansion, is a prodigy in the world and will definitely win the championship! ”

"Heh, you must win the championship, be careful not to hurt Zhongyong."

"What did you say!"

The so-called Wen is not the first, everyone has their own talents to admire, and they disagree with each other. So it turned into an argument.

Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Shen Yichen was not interested in listening to them arguing about who won or lost, and it didn't matter which one ended up being the first, anyway, it didn't have much to do with him.

So he shifted his attention to the dried fruit snacks on the table, and I have to say that today's food is all from the hands of famous artists, and the taste is really good.

was eating happily, and on the vacant seat next to him, someone suddenly sat down with his face covered. And because of his burly figure, he sat almost close to Shen Yichen.

You must know that Shen Yichen specially chose the most inconspicuous last seat in the corner, and no one at this table was willing to come and sit at this table except him.

So Shen Yichen was really a little surprised, which like-minded brother thought about it with him.

When he turned his head to look at the other party, the comer also happened to turn his head to look at Shen Yichen, and under the four eyes, both of them were stunned as if they were frozen.

"It's you!"

The two of them almost spoke in unison, because the person who came was none other than Li Da, Shen Yichen's old rival in the outer courtyard's home school!

"Why did you come to the poetry party?"

Shen Yichen first asked, Li Dana's cultural level is simply "people and gods are angry", is he here to be funny?

Hearing Shen Yichen's question, Li Da's rare old face turned red, but he replied stiffly: "Don't you also participate, they are all schoolchildren, who do you look down on!" ”

"I ......"

Shen Yichen wanted to refute, but if you think about it carefully, it's really true, there is no accident here, only he and Li Da are schoolchildren.

What do the two difficult brothers have to share with each other, don't laugh at the second brother......

"Forget it, it's not that the enemies don't get together, just make do with it."

Thinking that Li Da chose this corner to sit down, it is probably because he is a little forced in his heart, and he is afraid that he will not be able to lose that person.

Anyway, this table is empty, one more is not more, one less is not less, at least it is an acquaintance.

"yes, okay."

Li Da rarely did not refute, but instead lowered his head and curled up to make himself look less eye-catching.

It's just that this scene is in Shen Yichen's eyes, he really can't help but want to laugh, obviously he is a sworn enemy with this kid in the home school, and he has cheated each other more than once, how can he still have this kind of bad fate.

"What are you laughing at, believe it or not, I'll beat you up when I go home!"

"Don't blow it, if you dare to do it, will you wait until today?"

Shen Yichen didn't bother to deal with this kind of threat, and the two of them had made several appointments, but they didn't really do it anyway.

"Hmph."

Li Da snorted coldly, understanding that he couldn't scare Shen Yichen now, so he simply stopped talking.
