Chapter 2 Poems out of the Zhu family
The Zhu family in Daoxian County is worthy of being a rich and powerful family, the majestic building complex is so magnificent, the sky is just slightly bright, it is already a sensation in the crowd, the red lanterns hanging high on the gate of the Zhu family, and the happy couplets pasted on the gate are full of a strong festivity.
Qin Sheng had already come to the gate of the Zhu family, looking at the majestic building in front of him, which was so magnificent, and couldn't help but secretly unyielding in his heart: "With such a big family business, can't it accommodate two people's food, clothing, housing and transportation!"
Qin Sheng was very unconvinced, even if he was an outsider who had never known him, he should have sympathy! What's more, his sister and nephew, for the sake of so-called fame and fortune, did they really not want the affection of their closest relatives in the world?
"Yo! Isn't that Qin Sheng, Senior Young Master Qin? What's the matter, I also came today to celebrate my uncle's birthday, what precious gifts did I bring, is it a thousand-year-old ginseng or a jade agate!"
In front of the gate of the Zhu family, a yellow-haired child with braids saw Qin Sheng and deliberately tricked Qin Sheng, making him embarrassed to ride a tiger!
"Look, he really brought a gift, Qin Sheng, you are the Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace!"
"Hmph! Jade Rabbit, just with his ability, he has taken the test twice and is a nerd who falls to Sun Mountain, don't say it's Jade Rabbit, that kind of thing is far away, which family should not want it!"
After several servants were humiliated, they laughed at Qin Sheng again.
Qin Sheng was already squeaking his fists, and he couldn't wait to rush forward and slap them a few times to vent his anger, when a tall, burly middle-aged man with a good temperament came out of the Zhu family, he was the head of the Zhu family and Qin Sheng's uncle.
Seeing Qin Sheng's uncle come out, several domestic servants did not insult Qin Sheng again.
"Qin Sheng, let me in!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he returned to the Zhu family first.
Qin Sheng looked at the servant who insulted him, his eyes were cold, and he kept saying in his heart: "You wait for me, I, Qin Sheng, will impress you." ”
In the inner courtyard of the Zhu family, Qin Sheng's uncle called the housekeeper of the Zhu family to lead Qin Sheng to the account room in the mansion to get the money.
"Yo! Isn't this the eldest young master Qin? I'm here to receive the monthly payment again today!"
On the way to the account room, Qin Sheng met four well-mannered scholars, and the scholars who spoke were holding a folding fan in their hands.
Standing at the front was Qin Sheng's cousin, Zhu Wen, the young master of the Zhu family.
Qin Sheng didn't want to pay attention to them and was about to take a detour, but they deliberately blocked left and right, blocking Qin Sheng's way.
"Qin Sheng, you are a dignified seven-foot man, you have hands and feet, you come to get the monthly payment every month, don't you really know shame?"
"Shame, if you know that shame will go to the test again and again! Look, with a rabbit in his hand that he picked up out of nowhere, will our Young Master Zhu's family still be rare with this thing!"
"You don't deceive people too much!"
"How about deceiving people too much, can you not take the Zhu family's monthly payment?"
Zhu Wen didn't say a word, he didn't look at Qin Sheng squarely, he didn't have the slightest cousin affection in his eyes, and let others humiliate Qin Sheng endlessly.
The one who deliberately teased Qin Sheng was also a rich kid, and after whispering a few words in the ears of the other three people, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he walked up to Qin Sheng and said: "Qin Sheng, we are all scholars, and foul language is what the subordinates do, so how about it, we each write a poem on the theme of Mrs. Zhu's birthday, and the poem should rhyme before and after, and it should be unexpected." ”
"Qin Sheng, aren't you famous for studying in Dao County day and night! You have been taking the Tongsheng exam for two years, are you even afraid of a person who has never taken the Tongsheng exam?"
"How can I be afraid of words, I don't think I know what poetry is, hahahaha!"
They knew that Qin Sheng hadn't read a day of private school, and he hadn't read a good poem, so they believed that Qin Sheng couldn't compose poetry at all, not to mention composing poetry, even if he asked Qin Sheng to say a few rhyming words, I'm afraid Qin Sheng wouldn't.
"Okay! Write poems, compose poems!" Qin Sheng did not hesitate at all, because this Qin Sheng was no longer the Qin Sheng of the past, this Qin Sheng was a useless scholar.
At this moment, a group of people came to meet her, led by a graceful and luxurious woman, wearing a temperamental silk satin, but her face was full of flesh and an unstoppable face, yes, she was the aunt who drove Qin Sheng out of the Zhu family, and behind her was her younger brother of the Academy of Literature and several colleagues of the Academy of Literature, as well as Qin Sheng's uncle.
When my aunt saw Qin Sheng, her face suddenly sank, and she said without any emotion: "Qin Sheng, what are you doing in the Zhu family, didn't you tell you that you will never be able to set foot in the Zhu family again?"
"Mrs. Zhu, we are fighting against Qin Sheng's poetry!"
My aunt was about to scold Qin Sheng, but when she saw that it was the son of a big family in Dao County who spoke, she endured it, looked at Qin Sheng with extreme disdain and said: "If you are right in poetry, you can rely on him Qin Sheng, and he Qin Sheng will also compose poetry!"
"Whoever wants to write poetry, who wants to write poetry!"
"Whoever wants to write poetry, who wants to write poetry!"
Appearing very excited were the younger brother of the Zhu family and some colleagues in the Academy of Literature.
When they squeezed into the crowd and saw that it was Qin Sheng who wrote the poem, they were instantly disappointed and said disdainfully: "Which talented scholar is my Dao! It turns out that it is Qin Sheng who doesn't even understand the rhyme of poetry!"
After they were disappointed, they kept shaking their heads, because they were all people from the Academy of Literature, and they had seen Qin Sheng's test papers twice for children's exams, so they resolutely did not believe that Qin Sheng could compose poems!
All the people present almost didn't believe that Qin Sheng could make any poems, the reason why they didn't leave was all to satisfy their vanity, they wanted to see Qin Sheng being forced speechless, to put it thoroughly, they wanted to see Qin Sheng's jokes.
"Hahahaha! Qin Sheng, why did you just be so categorical! It can't be that you can't compose poetry!"
"He, Qin Sheng, composes poetry, isn't it a big joke? He can write poetry, and my janitor's servants can write novels!"
Everyone's eyes were glued to Qin Sheng, as if they were looking at a clown.
But they will never know that the Qin Sheng in front of them is not the Qin Sheng who doesn't even know what the poem is, he has crossed over, and he is also a college student in the department, the reason why he was silent for a long time was not because he couldn't think of the poem to celebrate his birthday, he was thinking of a poem that could not only rhyme, but also humiliate them.
For a moment, Qin Sheng looked at all the disdainful gazes in front of him, and said, "Okay, I'll compose a poem to congratulate my aunt!"
Hearing Qin Sheng say that he wanted to compose a poem, there was no surprise on everyone's faces, but the shameful smile at this time was even more excessive than at the beginning.
Qin Sheng said that he wanted to compose a poem because he finally thought of a poem that not only rhymes, but also can humiliate his aunt fiercely, and he thought of the birthday poem that Ji Xiaolan made for Wang Hanlin's mother in the Qing Dynasty.
Qin Sheng deliberately coughed and said, "This woman is not a person!"
Hearing Qin Sheng say the first sentence, his aunt was furious, and the people present were also furious.
"Qin Sheng, you are so bold, you don't know how to compose poetry, you dare to say so disrespectfully Mrs. Zhu, come on, teach me a good lesson to this arrogant person!"
"Wait! This is just the first sentence!" Qin Sheng continued unhurriedly: "The Nine Heavens Fairy descended to the earth. ”
When they heard Qin Sheng say the second line of poetry, everyone's hearts were shocked and showed surprised expressions, especially Qin Sheng's aunt, although she didn't know what poetry was, but she could understand this sentence of the Nine Heavens Fairy descending to the earth.
Suddenly, the aunt smiled and stopped the domestic servant who arrived.
There was also a surprise that the younger brother of the Zhu family and the colleagues of the Academy of Literature, when they heard Qin Sheng say the second sentence, their lips kept touching and repeating the two lines of the poem that Qin Sheng recited.
"This woman is not a human being, the fairy of the Nine Heavens descends to the earth! The woman, the fairy, the man, the mortal dust, not only neatly before and after, but also rhymes, and even better is the sudden turn between the first and second sentences, which makes people feel a great sense of satisfaction!"
"However, Qin Sheng, who has been taking the examination for two years, didn't he hand in blank papers twice! The only poem he wrote is simply a running account, how can he make such a neat and unique poem?"
The people from the Academy of Literature couldn't understand or believe it, and immediately said, "Qin Sheng, there are still two sentences!
Qin Sheng looked at everyone's surprised appearances, and kept saying in his heart: "Hmph! It's time for you to see it for a long time!"
After thinking about it, Qin Sheng glanced at his cousin Zhu Wen and said, "Give birth to a son and be a thief!"
"Qin Sheng, don't think that you are my cousin and you can do whatever you want, how can I be a thief in my dignified Zhu family's great cause, you talk nonsense like this again, be careful that I don't miss my cousin's love!"
"Cousin, don't worry, don't worry, there's the next sentence, the next sentence!"
"The next sentence, what about the next sentence, if the next sentence can make me smile, I will give you ten taels of gold, and give you two poetry books, if not, you will crawl out of the Zhu family for me!"
Everyone stared at Qin Sheng with their eyes on each other, because the previous sentence of the Nine Heavens Fairy going down to the mortal dust was indeed handled properly, it was extremely surprising to the transferor of the peak circuit, how could Qin Sheng, who didn't know the rhyme of poetry, have such talent, so for the birth of a son to be a thief that he had just recited, they couldn't imagine what Qin Sheng's next sentence would be, could he really turn the situation around again?
Qin Sheng didn't panic at all, hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that everyone was impatient, he opened his mouth and said, "Steal the peach and offer it to your mother!"
"Steal the peach and offer it to the mother!"
"Stealing the peach for the mother, the son is a thief, the thief who steals the peach, wonderful, the third and fourth sentences not only rhyme before and after, but also turn around again, which makes people excited!"
When all the people heard the last line of Qin Sheng's poem, they all looked at him with strange eyes, especially the people from the Academy of Literature, Qin Sheng just made a seven-word quatrain, the beauty of the artistic conception, the unique meaning, and the unexpected twist and turn, the whole poem has a clear rhyme and rich artistic conception, which is really the top grade in the poem, not to mention Mingfu Dazhou, it is more than enough to go out of the county.
Zhu Wendao County, a famous prodigy, can compose poems at the age of seven, and his memory is unforgettable, and he is envied by all contemporary scholars, he faced the poems that Qin Sheng had just made, and pondered for a long time, because he couldn't believe that Qin Sheng could make such excellent poems.
"Cousin, fellow scholars, I've finished it, yes or no, and I ask the gentlemen of the Academy of Literature here to judge openly!"
Qin Sheng deliberately pretended not to know what to do, and said solemnly to the people of the Academy of Literature: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiaosheng's bad work just now is not a rhyme, and it is not unexpected, please also ask the adults of the Academy of Literature to taste it!"
"Qin Sheng, who did you steal this poem, hurry up and recruit it, how many catties and taels do you have, don't we know yet?"
Among the four scholars, except for Zhu Wen, who frowned deeply and did not make a sound, the other three scholars questioned Qin Sheng in unison.
To be honest, the people of the Academy of Literature would never believe that a Qin Sheng, who didn't even know the rhyme, would make such a superb poem, and their eyes full of suspicion stared at Qin Sheng's face.
"Stealing poems!" Qin Sheng exclaimed in surprise and said quietly: "You say that I steal poems, then you may tell who and when the poem I just wrote came from?"
Hearing Qin Sheng's rhetorical question, a scholar walked in front of the Lord of the Academy of Literature, although his voice was very soft, but he could know that he was asking the people of the Academy of Literature, did he know who Qin Sheng's poem was written just now, because there is a magical poetry tablet in the Academy of Literature, and all the famous poems and texts of the Jiang Kingdom are recorded on the poetry tablet, why is this poetry tablet magical? It is because this poem tablet has the ability to appreciate the quality of poetry, a poem or a piece of text, as long as it is superior and exquisite, no matter where it is, it will alarm the poetry tablet, and at the same time it will be recorded in the excellent poems of the poetry tablet.
Zhu Wen's uncle, that is, the younger brother of Qin Sheng's aunt, is a deputy master of the Daoxian Academy of Literature, and as the deputy head of the Academy, he will visit the poetry tablet every day to look for quatrains, so he knows everything about the famous poems of the living Jiangguo in Dao County, but carefully recalling the birthday poems made by Qin Sheng just now, he really has no impression, and he knows nothing.
Even the deputy head of the Dao County Academy of Literature shook his head helplessly, and the scholar who had just asked felt that he had no idea where to start, so he suddenly had another plan to let Qin Sheng compose another poem.
"How about it, Qin Sheng, as long as you compose a poem in front of all of us again, no matter the title of the poem, if you can make another poem, we are willing to admit defeat, how, do you dare Qin Sheng!"
But is it just a poem? Qin Sheng's brain that crossed over not only had a few poems and songs, but also the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Tang and Song poems in the middle, and that was more, Qin Sheng was originally going to compose another poem, but he knew that his poem just now had aroused their suspicions, and although Dao County was an era of scholars and scholars, the way of a gentleman was really rare, and he knew through the original Qin Sheng's memory that all the literati and scholars in Dao County and even the literary academy in Dao County were rumored outside, and it was rumored that the double armor of this children's examination must not belong to Qin Sheng's cousin Zhu Wen.
How can I say that I am still just a half-hung scholar now, I have not been admitted to the middle school, I have no academic degree, and there is no protection without a literary degree, so Qin Sheng knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said: "Gentlemen or adults of the Academy of Literature, it is not impossible for me Qin Sheng to compose poems, as long as they can make the poems that they just said have before and after rhymes, and there are unexpected poems, Xiaosheng will definitely write a poem again!"
Qin Sheng's poem was placed there, and the three scholars and Zhu Wen were silent, because they didn't know where to get into the topic in an instant, and how they could really make a poem that was not inferior to Qin Sheng's just now, so they were all stunned.
The three scholars, together with Zhu Wenna, are all young masters in Dao County, they can replace the scholars at will, they can have the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they can go to the best private school, and they can also read the most comprehensive collection of classic anthologies, but they were speechless for a while, although Zhu Wen still has the reputation of a prodigy.
Qin Sheng's aunt saw that Qin Sheng was in the limelight, she knew that there would be more and more people in the house, if it continued like this, it would be a good opportunity for Qin Sheng to make a name for himself, but for the Zhu family, for everyone in Dao County, the praise of his son Zhu Wen would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, she said solemnly to Qin Sheng: "Okay, okay, today is my birthday, don't say anything about poetry or literature, Steward Liu, lead Qin Sheng to the account room to get a few copper coins and let him go!"
Steward Liu nodded in agreement, and had already walked a few steps, but Qin Sheng was still standing in place, because he had to humiliate the Zhu family and several big scholars again, and also to get the people's hard-earned money from the Zhu family.
"Cousin, I don't know if my cousin still remembers what he just said, not only to learn how to admit defeat, but also to learn to be trustworthy, cousin is a famous prodigy in Dao County, and he will not be a person who is untrustworthy!"
Zhu Wen didn't respond, because in front of the other three scholars, and more importantly, in front of the uncle of the Academy of Literature, he would lose to Qin Sheng in composing poems as a prodigy.
Qin Sheng's aunt was about to be furious when she heard Qin Sheng's words humiliating her son again, but considering the presence of the people from the Academy of Literature, she had to follow Qin Sheng's wishes and let the account office take out ten taels of gold and hand it to Qin Sheng.
The matter came to an end at this time, the Zhu family was completely in a field of undisguised squandering and wasting of wine and meat, Qin Sheng got the monthly payment, and also got ten taels of gold out of the Zhu family, but Qin Sheng, who came through the time, didn't know what ten taels of gold meant in that era.
At that time, a penny could allow a large family to buy a day's food, and a tael of gold could be exchanged for tens of thousands of copper coins, in that era, even the Zhu family, the richest man in Dao County, only had a hundred taels of gold, and he took ten taels of gold, which was one-tenth of the Zhu family's property.
Besides, Qin Sheng's aunt was a well-known rich slave in Dao County
