Ezhou is poor, students are hard, and hardship has long become our innate quality.

Therefore, if Ezhou Shizi wants to take the official career, thousands of people cross the single-plank bridge.

When Ezhou students were young, they needed to stand out from the non-math students, and then went to Yuelu and Donglin schools to study hard, and then went through the township examination, the meeting, and the county recommendation, and tortured at all levels before they had the opportunity to go to Beijing to catch the exam.

The difficulty of the township examination is comparable to the hardships of Enke, and the court will defend the case, and the cumbersome county recommendation and political trial can be seen in general.

Wu Zu established the measure of selecting talents in the imperial examination, and countless Sanjiang students have stood out in this way for three hundred years, and there are still many Ezhou officials in charge of one side in the court to benefit the people.

Therefore, someone later wrote: The champion is not out of the three rivers, and the heroes are all in the five lakes.

Compared with Kyoto, the children of the family enjoy a unique opportunity to study, and the way to be recommended as an official is not to know how many students who study hard and rely on the imperial examination to enter the Shidengke.

The world has suffered from the unfairness of the imperial court's selection of talents for a long time, and today I am fortunate to have the honor to learn from most of the scholars in Kyoto as a student of Ezhou, I don't know if it is my honor or their misfortune.

There are two reasons why I chose to reinvent the butterfly love flower.

First, it is very difficult to reshape the name of this brand, and if there is no writing and ink in the belly, I am ashamed to compete with me.

Moreover, by making this choice, everyone present could not slander me for cheating after I won, and at the same time, it could also suppress the arrogance of other talents with this poem.

The so-called oppression of people with power is not to block the mouths of the people, but to make the people dumb and speechless, and to admit defeat from the heart.

Su Boyong, who was originally planning to make a name for the prince, stopped writing at this time, staring intently at me and Zheng Beiyou, only to see him walk out of the crowd, take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and chuckle: "In this case, which of you two will come first?" ”

I smiled coldly on my face, and said humbly: "Contemptible people have long admired Zheng Gongzi's name, and reshaping the word butterfly love flower should be Zheng Gongzi first." ”

The reason why I am a little humble in the face of Zheng Beiyou is not flattery, but that he is recognized as the first talent in the world, and he does have excellent knowledge and fame, which everyone in the world admires sincerely.

I remember it very clearly, three years ago, on the Spring City of Nanhu, the half-mad Taoist played thirty-six moves of the Light Cold Sword, leaving a pair of upper couplets on the city wall:

Smoke lock pond willow.

The upper link implies the five elements, and the half-crazy Taoist threatens that if there is a Shizi Wengong in three years, the sword pool of Jincheng in the south lake can be selected at will, regardless of the quantity.

Who would have thought, in the autumn of that year, the Great Zhou Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, and Zheng Beiyou passed by Nanhu when he was responsible for carrying books, and left a pair of lower couplets on the city wall of Jincheng in the world:

Feng Ran Jin Cheng Wave.

Not to mention how many well-educated people in the world are stumped by this couplet, only Donglin Academy and Yuelu Academy add up to 3,000 well-educated people, and no one can answer the perfect couplet.

At that time, in the face of this uplink, although I made a pair of uplinks that barely fit the requirements of the five elements, the artistic conception still lacked some far-reaching.

At this moment, in the face of Zheng Beiyou, I dare not be careless, the so-called strong fear the strong, and the strong can also inspire my strong resilience.

Zheng Beiyou did not shirk humility again, but snatched the pen from Su Boyong's hand without thinking, he only used the pen to his mouth for a moment, and then groaned.

"Paper!"

Su Boyong moved when he heard the sound, strode to the table in front of him, put down the inkstone and paper in his hand, and immediately gave Zheng Beiyou ink.

Zheng Beiyou put down his pen, and everyone present instantly watched.

I saw Zheng Beiyou go down with a stroke, and the view was like a loose horse flying into the air and leaving the dust; Like a dragon flying in the sky, it comes from nothingness and returns to the void, this almost crazy vigorous pen power seems to give the wolf in his hand an endless vitality, and the paper on the table is pregnant with the aura of heaven and earth.

"Good word!" The onlookers were so excited that they clapped their hands and praised them repeatedly.

After a splash of ink, the poems on the white paper were quickly completed.

"Dream of entering the Yanshui Road in the south of the Yangtze River, walking all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, and not meeting people. There is no place to say anything about the soul in sleep. Feel melancholy and dispel the soul.

If you want to do your best in this love letter, the floating geese sink the fish, and there is no evidence in the end. But leaning on the strings and singing goodbye. The broken intestine was removed from the Qin Zheng pillar. ”

The second girl of Qin Huai, who saw this poem from the second floor, studied it softly while pondering the meaning.

I saw her embarrassed expression, as if she was comparing this poem with the poems written by Qin Dajia before.

After writing the poem, Zheng Beiyou looked at me, then threw the wolf at me, and signaled, "It's your turn." ”

I took the wolf's hair, walked to the other end of the table, found a piece of paper and spread it, and dipped the wolf's hair towards the inkstone.

Since there was no one to lay paper and ink for me, I simply used the little ink I had left to do my best.

I picked up the pen and dipped the ink, and everyone gathered at me at this time, and the dog master also made a careful look in the crowd.

"After reading the bitterness of parting at the end of the world, I don't return, and the flowers are as promised. The bottom of the flowers looked at each other without a word, and the green window spring and the sky were silent.

To tell the acacia lamp, a wisp of new love, a thousand wisps of old hatred. The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and Zhu Yan is a flowery tree. ”

After writing the new word Butterfly Love Flower, I threw the pen in my hand to Su Boyong, and turned my eyes to Zheng Beiyou's poems.

After all, my family background is not comparable to the children of the family present, just because I pity the pen and ink when I was young, and I mostly use charcoal to write and practice on the wooden board, and the handwriting is hard and has no charm over time.

After reading Zheng Beiyou's calligraphy, I secretly rejoiced that it was just poetry, not calligraphy, otherwise I wouldn't have lost a lot.

Zhu Wenbo, who gave up lyrics before and admitted defeat, saw that the two new poems of butterfly love flowers had been completed, and they were also on-site works, so he was ashamed to stand at the back of the crowd, and he really had no face to stand at the front.

The most excited person is the second girl Qin Huai, she did not hide her excitement, walked down from the upstairs quickly, walked to the front of everyone and looked at the two words on the table, and read them carefully.

Because the second girl was covered by a veil, I could only see a pair of bright and bright eyes.

Looking at this Qinhuai beauty up close, it suddenly only makes people feel haunted by dreams, and there is an urge to take the initiative to get close.

Especially when the second girl walked briskly, the refreshing fragrance exuded from her body made people smell refreshed, and she was tired and tired unconsciously.

"Butterfly Love Flower is the name of the second girl's word brand, and the quality of the two words may as well be judged by the second girl."

When I finished writing the new words of butterfly love flowers, Wang Gongwang's face instantly turned blue, because of the large number of people in the field, the nobles watching, and everyone watching, he can only lead but not provoke, in order to defend the little face he has left.

Wang Gongwang handed over the initiative to the second girl at this time and asked her to judge the two poems, which actually had another purpose.

It's a pity that the second girl was addicted to the shock of the two poems, and didn't listen to Wang Gongwang's implicit proposal, and looking at the embarrassed expression of the second girl, it can be seen that it is difficult for me and Zheng Beiyou to compete for who is better and who is inferior.

Seeing that the two girls were indifferent, the red-clothed bustard girl said at this time: "Since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second martial arts, in my opinion, the talents of the two sons tonight are both ancient and modern, so it is better for the two of you to have a draw...... This will not embarrass our two girls! ”

Be a man and leave a line, and see you in the future!

I very much agree with the words of the bustard girl, ending in this way, in fact, it is the best, neither of them has lost face, and both sides have retained a trace of affection, so that in the end, they will remove the fig leaf, make them unhappy, and also sweep away the joy-seeking Yaxing.

When things came to this situation, when I looked back at Lu Yao, the information released in his expression was also accepted as soon as he saw it, and there was no need to be aggressive.

But to my great surprise, I was about to echo, but Zheng Beiyou apologized in front of everyone, and said lightly: "Xu Gongzi made two poems tonight, even if I tie the song of Butterfly Love Flower, I will make one less song tonight, it stands to reason that I lost!" ”

As soon as Zheng Beiyou's words came out, everyone present was in an uproar, especially Wang Gongwang, who had lost face tonight, he was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table in front of him in public.

The literati fell in a duel, no more than a duel between cultivators, and if they lost a game, they still had a chance to win or lose one day, and they competed one after another.

Literati meet friends with poetry, and losing, which means that prestige, talent, face, and even the image in the hearts of beautiful people will collapse instantly.

If you want to erect it again, it is more difficult than climbing thousands of peaks and thousands of mountains and climbing the Nine Heavens Spirit Platform of Yunhai Immortal Sect!

Zheng Beiyou bowed his head and admitted defeat at the moment, and he really made me look like a second monk, and I was confused.

On the surface, I won tonight's poetry meeting, but I knew in my heart that this victory was won by luck, not by complete strength.

At the same time, I also know that after tonight, my name will be established in the Eastern Capital.

At the same time, trouble comes with fame.

Turning back to Lu Yao and the dog master, I carefully rubbed my hands, and my palms were full of sweat at the moment.
