Chapter 231: Rushing to the Literary Meeting
At this time, Wen Bao Zhai's shopkeeper Ye shopkeeper has appeared at the scene of the Wenhui early, today she changed her men's dress and wore a generous long coat, which can finally make people see her gender.
With a beautiful face and a sassy feeling, Steward Liu on her side looked at the time, then put down the teacup in his hand, cleared his throat, and opened his mouth.
"Now that the hour has come, my lords, let's announce the beginning of the meeting. ”
Prime Minister Tuo Cheng was a little hesitant when he heard this. "It's okay at first, it's just that a friend of mine hasn't arrived yet. ”
"Oh? Why is this? A few **** days ago made an appointment with our shopkeeper to come? Why didn't you come?"
"I don't know about this, but I disappeared yesterday. So far, there is still no news. ”
"Oh, Lintian is actually gone? Do you mean that the students of the Hanlin Academy have disappeared?"
Several adults bowed their heads and did not speak.
Everyone in the audience also looked here, and Wen Liang looked around and suddenly spoke.
"This Lintian has been living well in the Hanlin Courtyard, how could he suddenly disappear? Your Excellency must look for it carefully, otherwise others will think that who is planning behind it and plotting behind it!"
Wen Liang is very good at talking, and such a remark makes everyone understand that Lintian lives in the Hanlin Academy, and even if he wants to do it, the chance is very small, so it is easy for everyone to rule out the suspicion of the Wen family.
Tuofei was very depressed, and after his conjecture, he concluded that this writer must have done something, but he was suffering from no evidence now.
"Could it be that Lintian is really scared?"
"Yes. Since you live in Hanlin Temple, there is no chance that there will be any accidents. Since he didn't come, it could only be because he was afraid. ”
Steward Liu also suddenly sighed: "Alas. I thought our shopkeeper had taken a fancy to Lintian. is a person who keeps his promises, how do you know that this Wenxiang is a person who does not keep his promises and escapes, alas. ”
"Hmph, it's also a national fortune poem, and it's a top three talent, I think it's just like that, just a timid person. ”
"Alas. How could such a timid person be admitted to the top three in Xiucai? It must be a mistake. ”
"I just said, I swore in front of everyone that day, and I praised him for being angry with us people, how could I think that he was such an ungentlemanly person. ”
Tuofei's face was gloomy, and it was difficult to say anything at this time. Prime Minister Tuo looked around and spoke again.
"Don't make a conclusion, you can't say that Lintian is untrustworthy before the end of the literary meeting, we don't have to wait for him alone, start first. ”
Since Prime Minister Tuo Cheng spoke, everyone had nothing to say.
Wen Yong smiled for a while, and his heart was indescribably happy at this time. "Hey, hey. What are you waiting for? He can't come, and in the future, the number one talent in the capital will be my Wen Yong. ”
Wen Yong thought in his heart. Then he put away his expression, stepped forward, and said to everyone:
"My lord, everyone! Wen Yong of the following family, originally I wanted to compare with Brother Lintian today, but now Lintian has not been there, but as long as the Wenhui has not ended, it cannot be said that Lintian is not trustworthy, the people of my Wenjia have always respected the law and kept etiquette, we feel that when the Wenhui ends, if he has not come by then, he will be regarded as a person who does not keep his promises. ”
Wen Yong's sudden remarks were also planned a long time ago, and the righteous words he said could not only reflect the generosity of the Wen family, but also show his own demeanor.
The corners of Wen Liang's mouth cracked and arced, and everything was in his plan, because at this time, only their Wen family knew that Lintian might not be able to come.
Steward Liu reluctantly walked to the front, and since Prime Minister Tuo had already spoken, he had no choice but to do so.
"Now that everyone has arrived, today's calligraphy and painting workshop will start now!"
As the housekeeper's words fell, the lake outside began to hang lanterns, beat gongs and drums, and the cultural meeting officially began.
The literary meeting of the calligraphy and painting workshop is not as rigid as the Xiucai exam, but you can freely compose poems and show them to people to read and comment.
At this time, the literary meeting has begun, and many talented people are ready to write poems, and many of them want to express some of their feelings with the help of the poetry literary meeting, and even confess to some beauties, but it must be good poetry, otherwise it will be said to be a joke.
Lintian was in tatters, thinking about running in the capital, he knew that now was the time for the calligraphy and painting workshop, but if he passed now, it would be at least a long time.
"It's not a way to go like this, when I get to the scene of the Wenhui, it is estimated that it is over, but I don't know what excuse the people of the Wen family will use to slander me, I must hurry up. ”
The distance from the calligraphy and painting workshop is really very, even if Lintian has the heart to hurry up, but after all, his foot strength is limited, and Lintian is a little anxious, because of this literary meeting, he must go.
Just when he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard a voice from behind, the sound of a coachman and horses' hooves.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, it's really unlucky, this Laipi guest, one or two Wenyin said that he would walk ten miles, but he walked fifteen miles, so that I was even late for the Wenhui, bad luck. While complaining, he drove the carriage from afar.
Lintian heard the man's voice, and after thinking about it, he crossed the middle of the road, and said loudly:
"Brother and slow! I don't know if I can go on the next trip? I'm also going to the Wenhui!"
The man driving the car was a little upset, and said, "What are you doing? Get out of the way, don't pull or pull, if you really want to go, a tael of silver!"
Lin Tian said with a smile, "Can you let Lin Mou pay on credit? Rest assured, I, Lin Tian, am by no means a person who owes money and does not pay it back." ”
"What, what? What is your name? Lintian? But what is the poem of national fortune?"
"It's down there. ”
The coachman couldn't believe it: "Impossible, shouldn't you be in Wenhui at this time?" Also, why are your clothes so tattered?"
Lintian was very helpless: "Brother Tai, what I said is true, I am Lintian, I don't believe that I will know when I get to the Wenhui, as for why I am so embarrassed, it's a long story, can you take me over first?"
The coachman was a little skeptical, but he still said helplessly: "Okay, count me unlucky today, come up, but the car money will still be given to me when I go back!"
Lin Tian was happy in his heart, "Thank you brother Tai for your help." With that, he got into the carriage.
Lintian sat next to the coachman, but the coachman kept looking in other directions, as if he didn't dare to look at Lintian, and just took care of himself. Lintian was a little strange, so he took a closer look at the coachman's face and immediately laughed.
"Haha, brother, I don't know if swimming in the river in that city is something special?" said Lintian with a smile.
At this moment, the coachman's face suddenly turned red. "You, how do you know? Do you see? I, I just said the wrong thing today, so, so ......."
The driver was a little flustered, because he was the same person in the town today, who was swimming naked in the river after losing a bet.
"Haha, brother, don't be nervous, I just happened to see it today, no matter what you said before, it's just a joke, it's harmless, I won't remember, today you are helping, I am grateful, I don't know your name?"
"I, my name is Zhang San, you really don't laugh at me?"
"What are you doing laughing at you? I don't remember that day for a long time, don't worry, haha!"
The coachman immediately smiled awkwardly and said to Lintian: "Oh, Childe, you can't wear your clothes like this." I also have a spare set of coarse clothes in the car, although it is not as expensive brocade and silk, but it is better than your tattered one, if you don't dislike it, you can change it.
