A five-story building was erected on the bank of Qujiang Pond, called Tinglan Water Pavilion.

Jiangnan architectural style.

The supporting facilities are complete, pavilions and pavilions, small pavilion corridors, rockeries, small bridges, and flowing water.

The open space on the shore in front of the water pavilion is paved with wooden planks, and platforms are erected at the water's edge, some of which are on the shore and some of which are stretched into the water, zigzags and meanders.

The lights of the Tinglan Water Pavilion have already been lit, and the children and relatives of the invited scholars have all been in place, or three, or two, gathered together, talking and laughing constantly.

Standing on the observation deck on the fifth floor, it looks like a starry sky is embedded here.

Shangshu Ling Yu Bang, Shangshu Ouyang Zan of the Criminal Department, Chen Tingwei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and several professors of Guozijian drank tea and chatted here.

This gathering was initiated by Shang Shuling Yu Bang.

They want to conduct a thorough survey of the students before the scientific examination, and recruit those who have both ability and political integrity to become their vassals.

Once a student reaches the first place, he or she will be assigned to the place where he or she will take office.

Shangguan needs officials to maintain the place, and officials need to be promoted by officials, and each takes what he needs.

That's what the gathering is all about.

Yu Bang said that this kind of thing is left to young people, and we are restrained in them, if there are good poems, someone will send them.

On weekdays, government affairs are busy, so I just take this opportunity to relax and be happy.

On the other hand, the hall on the first floor is much more lively.

In front of a conspicuous low table sat a young man.

The face is like clotted fat, the eyes are like paint, and the water is like a spring willow.

A large number of students gathered around him, pandering to him.

"Hu Gongzi, who has admired the name for a long time, is in the east of Xiahuai."

"Jiangning Liu Zhinon."

"Nanzhou Chen Ming visited his son, and his genius made him admire."

“……”

The list goes on and on.

And this young man was calm, just drinking tea, and only nodded slightly to his fans in response.

"Who is he?"

The unsure guest asked.

The eldest brother next to him pouted and explained, "Don't you even know him?" Hu Jingxing, the son of Hu Cong, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, is the supervisor of the country and the first in the township test.

In this examination, he will win the first prize, good poetry, tonal rhythm, and the legend of his 'talent and coarseness' is spread among the Oiran of the Teaching Workshop. ”

Poof-

The guest may have made a mistake and squirted the tea.

"Stick, tell you you you don't understand either!"

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Hu Jingxing's face was displeased, and he kept looking at the door, as if he was waiting for someone.

……

King Yu and his entourage of three people got out of the carriage and slowly entered the water pavilion.

"No, I'll go to the fifth floor with the county lord to meet guests, you are free."

"Yes, lord."

Xu Moyan watched the big-eyed beauty jump to her feet and disappear around the corner with King Yu, and then turned around on her own.

Then.

A hand was placed on his shoulder from behind him.

He palmed his hand, and pinched the qi in the palm of his hand, and he could burst out and hurt people at any time.

"Brother Tai, it's your first time attending this kind of banquet, right?"

It turned out to be a student who took the initiative to greet and ask for praise.

Overstrained.

He put away his gas, turned around, and saw a special "student".

The hat was a squire's top hat, and his clothes were loose coarse cloth tunics, which did not match his thin figure, and he wore low-waisted cloth shoes stained with fresh earth, which only porters wore them.

He has a chicken in his left hand, a pot of tea in his right hand, and two Annan bananas under his armpits.

The oil stains on the corners of the mouth are not exhausted, and the appearance is ugly.

Are you sure you're a scholar?

Xu Moyan responded: "It's the first time you came, how did you see it?" ”

"Your hands are empty, there is no one around, the same as when I first came, go, I'll take you to get chicken legs, fruit, and snacks.

Seriously, the organizers of this banquet have an absolute conscience. ”

Xu Moyan refused, touched his stomach and said, "I just finished eating." ”

He was unwilling, and lowered his voice and said, "The first time you came, I have to remind you a few words, and when you talk about it later, you can talk after thinking about it."

Make as many friends as possible, if you can come here, you are either rich or expensive, they have money in their families, and they have a party every once in a while, eat and drink for nothing, why not? ”

It turned out to be a white prostitute, what an interesting soul...... Xu Moyan decided to mess with him tonight.

"Understood, thank you brother Tai for reminding me." After a pause, he asked, "I don't know the name of Brother Tai yet." ”

He took a sip of tea, smoothed down the food in his mouth, raised his hand, and said, "It's not worth mentioning, just call me a pillar, what about you?" ”

Well...... The name...... Very poetic.

"Xu Moyan, no words."

The pillar said again: "Does Mr. Peng of Lanyue Pavilion know? ”

"I've heard it in one ear."

"That's the family teacher."

You said it was your father, and I believe it...... Xu Moyan laughed silently.

The pillar brought Xu Moyan to the world.

The house is very large, beyond the front hall, the rockery towers, the small bridge flows, and the flowers and plants are fat.

This is the real garden.

The pillar greets people when he sees them, showing off his connections.

"Brother Muyuan, it's really you."

The two people who were taking a walk were stunned for a moment, and when they saw that it was a pillar, they smiled.

"It turned out to be Brother Wang Zhu, I haven't seen you for some days."

The man smiled and saluted the pillar.

"Yes, since the farewell of the Kunming Chi Poetry Society, it has been half a month, I miss it very much, I miss it very much."

Two snorting haha.

Zhu Zi said again: "Brother Muyuan, let me introduce you, this is Brother Xu, he doesn't know a word, he is the same door as me, and he worships under Mr. Peng's name." ”

Then he turned around and said: "Brother Xu, this is Brother Muyuan, the proud protégé of Master Qin of Jishan Academy, and his painting skills are outstanding!" ”

The pillar is introduced for two people.

Xu Moyan immediately returned the salute.

"I have admired the name of Brother Mu Yuan for a long time, like thunder, and when I see it today, Brother Tai is really extraordinary, and the younger brother admires the name of Brother Tai like a surging river, endlessly."

The ability to socialize at the full level...... Zhu Zi thinks so, like-minded people get along with each other, and they are always so happy.

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy.

This brother is so discerning! What a man!

After many years of silence, it was finally exposed in public.

"Brother is polite, it's just a vain name."

The smile on Mu Yuan's face couldn't be hidden, and his favorability towards Xu Moyan doubled.

He then introduced the person next to him.

"Oh, by the way, this is Ning Ji, a calligraphy master, and the flower master of Chaoyang Academy is his teacher."

"Wow! It turns out that you are Ning Ji, and I heard Mr. talk about you a few days ago, saying that you are talented and a rare genius in the world, and I told me that when I see me, you must make good friends. ”

The students with thin faces are very useful, and Peng Delu's name is like thunder.

It seems that he has a very important proportion in Mr. Peng's heart.

I also wonder in my heart, who leaked the news?

The thin-faced student hurriedly said, "Don't dare to be." ”

"When the poetry meeting is over, I'll have a few drinks."

"Of course, if you don't get drunk, you won't return, it's best to ask a few people to rub your shoulders and beat your legs, it's the most leisurely."

Several people looked at each other and smiled, and the meaning was self-evident.

Mu Yuan and Ning Ji also joined the team and continued to move forward.

The pillar lowered his voice and said, "Don't blow too hard, if Mr. Peng really comes in a while, it won't end well." ”

"I'm really Mr. Peng's disciple, and it's closed."

You're too deep into the play, brother, you can do a whole job better than me...... Pillar belly slander.
