Zhu Qizhen was very satisfied with He Wenyuan's behavior, the little eunuch knelt on the ground and trembled, and when he heard He Wenyuan's reprimand, he trembled even more, and his body was already a little urinating.

The little eunuch's name is Ma Renfa, he hasn't read much since he was a child, and his family background is not very good, so he was sold to the palace to be a little eunuch, and now he has only been a eunuch for half a month.

Just heard Yang Shiqi speak and mentioned the three words Ma Renfa, he didn't know what was going on, and he was afraid of being killed, so he hurriedly stood up and begged for mercy.

Ma Renfa was frightened and speechless, and another eunuch standing not far away hurriedly came over and knelt down and began to explain to him, otherwise they would all be punished when the morning court was over.

After explaining clearly, Zhu Qizhen sighed speechlessly, and said in his heart that ministers and ministers are not good, even eunuchs are waste, threw off the sleeves of the dragon robe, and sat back on the dragon chair.

He Wenyuan saw that Zhu Qizhen asked the eunuch to retreat, so he had to return to his original position and stand up.

There are many discussions in the hall, this matter can be big or small, and it is definitely impossible to have a result for a while. Zhu Qizhen listened to it for a while, and couldn't help but be a little upset, he planned to follow Chengzu to expand the territory, but this land was not developed, but he lost a piece first.

After another stick of incense, Zhu Qizhen ordered the military department and the cabinet to study a method first, and then dispersed.

He Qiaoxin, who was far away in Hangzhou, had just learned that Liu Duyun was suspected of having returned to Beijing in the morning, and in the afternoon he saw the news of Si Renfa's rebellion in the latest issue of the newspaper.

Sitting on the chair temporarily used as an office in the Hangzhou branch, He Qiaoxin regularly tapped the table with his right hand. Ah Da, who was sitting on a chair by the wall at the door, watched He Qiaoxin tap the table with his right hand, and after a glance, he turned his gaze back to the sword in his hand and continued to wipe it clean.

After a while, a small guy walked in, walked directly to He Qiaoxin, handed an invitation to He Qiaoxin, and then turned around and walked out.

He Qiaoxin opened the letter, glanced at it and put it on the table, and said to Ah Dadao, who was wiping the sword: "Later, follow me to the West Lake Broken Bridge to participate in the poetry meeting, the famous Confucian has an appointment, I can't shirk it, but I am afraid that the red-sleeved assassin will assassinate me, you have to protect me." ”

Ah Da put the sword into the sheath, put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, pulled away a strand of hair on his forehead, shook his head, and said very squeamishly: "No problem." ”

When He Qiaoxin looked at him like this, he knew that he had temporarily walked out of the impact of his brother's death, and it was estimated that it was related to what happened to him along the way.

Half an hour later, the two of them went out of the door of the Hangzhou branch, ready to hire a carriage nearby, and after a turn, they saw the carriage that sent the two yesterday.

"Brother, aren't you pulling people at the docks? How did you get here? ”

The groom who was driving the car yesterday, saw the two of them yesterday, heard He Qiaoxin's question, and said with a meaningful smile:

"Didn't I go back last night and hear that the president of the publishing house was here! I thought that there must be a lot of people visiting, and I might earn more by pulling one person here than a few people at the dock. ”

"Brother is very steady!" Saying that, He Qiaoxin stretched out his thumb and gave a thumbs up, the groom had never been in contact with He Qiaoxin, so he didn't know what it meant, but when he heard this, he knew that this was also a good word, and he also learned to compare it to a like.

Saying their destination, the carriage pulled the two away. Along the way, the groom sang a new tune sung by He Qiao yesterday. Yesterday he could only hum along, but today he was able to sing it completely.

He Qiaoxin was shocked in the car, the emotional brother is still a literary uncle who has been delayed by the race, and his learning talent and acting talent are also leveraged.

Soon the broken bridge appeared in front of a few people, after arriving at the place, get out of the car and pay the car money, He Qiaoxin took Ah Da to the place of the poetry meeting, and the words of the groom faintly came from the rear, "I just said where to squat people must give more, big dogs!" ”

Ah Da and He Qiaoxin are both dressed in Confucian shirts, with swords around their waists, and they look like scholars.

saw the two of them coming, because the Hangzhou scholars didn't know He Qiaoxin, they all thought that the elder brother had brought his younger brother to see the world. The occasional familiar greeting is also "Brother, take your brother to see the world!" ”。

He Qiaoxin walked ahead and took Ah Da to the edge of the West Lake, next to the broken bridge. Looking at the big boat in front of him that people go up from time to time, Ah Da felt a little weak in his legs for no reason.

"Qiao Xin, why don't I wait for you on the shore?"

Looking at Ah Da again with contemptuous eyes, He Qiaoxin said angrily: "Then if it's the same as Huaxian Tower in the capital, there is a person pretended to be an assassin, are you waiting on the shore to collect my body?" ”

dragged the reluctant Ah Da to the boat, handed over the invitation and was welcomed in.

An old man with white beard and hair, dressed in an old Confucian shirt, walked over, looked at He Qiaoxin and said, "But He Qiaoxin, He Xie Yuan in person?" ”

Seeing the old man's question, He Qiaoxin guessed that this was the great Confucian Fang Baichuan who invited him to participate in the poetry meeting, and hurriedly bent down and saluted: "The student is He Qiaoxin, I have seen Fang Lao, Fang Lao calls the student Qiao Xin, Xie Yuan just happened to get a name at the meeting, and he didn't dare to call him in front of Fang Lao." ”

Fang Baichuan helped He Qiaoxin up and smiled, this little guy has been praised by Yang Shiqi many times, and he will mention it every time he writes a letter. Yesterday, I learned that He Qiaoxin had arrived in Hangzhou, so I invited him to come over to meet, and I was quite satisfied when I saw him.

"Then I'll call you Qiao Xin, go... When I went inside with the old man, the people had almost arrived, and they were all famous talents and beauties in Hangzhou, famous and powerful readers. ”

The two followed Fang Baichuan to the boat, and when they entered the big boat, He Qiaoxin realized that this was a small classroom. There is a podium, tables, chairs and benches, which is not the same pattern as the painting boat that sat on the Huaihe River in Jinling last time.

Fang Baichuan deserves to be a famous Confucian, and when he came in, someone greeted him, and when he saw Fang Baichuan leading people in, he looked at He Qiaoxin and Ah Da who also showed interest, and some even greeted him from a distance.

Fang Baichuan walked in front of him, and said as he walked: "Qiao Xin, the group of people on the left gathered are the students of Hangzhou Academy, the group next to them is my students, the group of people who greeted you just now on the right are the people of Jinke Xinzhong, and in the distance are Xiucai and the young ladies of each family." ”

In the end, Fang Baichuan stopped beside an old man who was about his age and began to introduce He Qiaoxin.

"Qiao Xin, this is Qianming, the prefect of Hangzhou, this is Weng Hong, the president of Hangzhou Academy, and this is Xue Li, a great Confucian who is as famous as me."

He Qiaoxin saw the gift one by one, and when the ceremony came to Qianming, he couldn't help but take a closer look, not long after the Daming Times was founded last year, Yang Rong, one of the three Yangs, also published a poem in the Daming Times, indicating that it was given to him.

At that time, He Qiaoxin also deliberately studied for a long time, and felt that the writing was very good, if he didn't borrow the creation, it is estimated that he would not be able to catch up in this life. The poem came back to mind:

"Bamboo is more expensive than a gentleman, and it is more valuable than chastity.

When the frost is in the room, there is a sound of curling.

The path is green, and the clouds and jade pavilions are blowing.

Sitting in the hot moon, I suddenly felt cold.

I want to intercept it and dedicate it to the Ming Court.

Sonorous in the law of Lu, forever following Shao Jun Ming".

Seeing He Qiaoxin looking at him, the prefect Qianming's face was a little red, this is not the first time, every time a person knows himself, it is like this, it is all caused by Yang Rong's house.

"Qiao Xin, does the old man have flowers on his face?" Qianming interrupted He Qiaoxin's watching, and He Qiaoxin smiled awkwardly.

"It's student Meng Lang! Don't blame the diving adults. He Qiaoxin said in his heart that there are no flowers on your face, and there are poems. With a hint of shame on his face, coupled with a ten-year-old face, Qianming laughed when he saw it.

After chatting a few words, He Qiaoxin returned to the location where he had just come in and joined Ah Da. Glancing at Ah Da, Ah Da shook his head, signaling that there were no suspicious characters for the time being.

In the distance, a person with a fan chatted with the people in the circle for a few words, and walked towards He Qiaoxin.

"You are He Qiaoxin? What Jiangnan prodigy, a genius in Beijing? ”

He Qiaoxin looked at the person who came, and saw that the person who came was from the circle of talented people introduced by Fang Baichuan just now, and knew that this was a person who wanted to step on himself to become famous, but he was very awkward as a stepping stone.

With his face as usual, He Qiaoxin smiled at the visitor: "This son is good, the student is He Qiaoxin who is called by others in the mouth of the son, if... There is no second He Qiaoxin's words here. ”

Listening to He Qiaoxin's words, Ah Da knew that He Qiaoxin was a big ghost, and he was going to tease this brother to play, so he sat down next to him without saying a word, looking at the two with a playful smile on his face.

Someone around has already discovered the abnormality, and soon the two of them around a circle of people, all whispered and began to discuss, some people saw that He Qiaoxin was young, although he had written a few good poems, but after all, the opposite side was also a famous talent, plus how old was the old man, I am afraid that who is higher and who is lower between the two is really not praised.

The four of Fang Baichuan, who were chatting, also discovered the abnormality, and asked Fang Baichuan: "Brother Baichuan, don't you stop it?" ”

Fang Baichuan shook his head and motioned for the three of them to look down, and they also wanted to see He Qiaoxin's literary brilliance, whether it was really as extraordinary and peerless as Yang Shiqi admired.

"My name is Tang Ren! The first talent in Hangzhou, like you, is also a person, let's learn from each other. ”

With a sneer, He Qiaoxin said calmly: "Since Brother Tang intends to learn, how dare Qiao Xin disobey, please ask Brother Tang to ask the question." ”

Tang Ren looked at He Qiaoxin, thinking in his heart, just now he had already thought about what to compare, he was afraid that He Qiaoxin would not agree to the competition, he had also seen several poems of He Qiaoxin, and he would definitely lose if he was better than this, so he could only be related to the six arts.

"I won't bully you either, let's compare the song to a minor key, just take this broken bridge as the theme, Qiao Xin... Do you think it's okay? ”

The discussion sounded next to him, thinking that this was a good topic, and the four people of Baichuan also nodded, although Tang Ren's behavior was not very good, but he was indeed very smart, and he knew how to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and he couldn't help but nod his head and praise him, this kind of person is the same as him, suitable for surviving in the officialdom.

"Then Brother Tang, please first, and let me see the strength of the first talent in Hangzhou." After speaking, He Qiaoxin laughed, with a look of disdain on his face, if it is more sincere than eight shares or something, that's it?
