Chapter 17: Sit down and keep trying

Seeing that the guests were eagerly looking at the stairs, Bai Yu followed, and saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman with a goose egg face, with delicate facial features and white skin

, holding a small fan of light Luo, wearing an emerald green smoke gauze skirt and a slender waist jade belt, walking down the stairs step by step like a weak willow supporting the wind.

"Lanshuang was rude, so that all the guest officials and masters waited for a long time."

Descending to the top of the stairs, she made a blessing salute, and her voice was soft and soft, not deliberate, but a very natural voice.

The guests who were originally sitting casually were all sitting upright, Bai Yu despised them in his heart, and then he also sat up a little straighter, and it was a normal reaction to see a beautiful girl, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

It is worthy of being the top card of the painting boat, it is really much more beautiful than those dancing vulgar fans on the stage, Bai Yu is in a hurry to come up with the question quickly, he has no other ideas, mainly wants to try the strength of the Huling character card.

She toasted table by table, causing a lively and noisy scene every time she arrived, like a star who was held by the stars.

Bai Yu waited left and right, and she finally came this way.

"Childe looks at Miansheng, it should be the first time to come."

She called me Gongzi~ Bai Yu felt that his heart was crisp, and he bowed slightly, "Well, it's okay, this official came from Jingzhao Mansion and brought more than 200 subordinates to Linfu County to do something. ”

The officers and soldiers standing behind Bai Yu were dumbfounded!

More than 200 prisoners have become more than 200 subordinates......

was detained in the post house and turned into an errand......

The above adults called him by the way for dinner, and it became an invitation......

Emptied the silver of his whole body, he barely came here, and became idle and idle, and sat at will......

Lan Shuang smiled lightly, there are all kinds of guests who come here every day, there are all kinds of things, and it is not unseen to brag, but it is the first time to see such a clear eye, if she didn't recognize this official robe from the nine grades, she would almost believe it.

Out of professionalism, she would not expose it, toasted a glass of wine, chatted with her for a few more words, made a blessing ceremony, and turned to leave.

After a while, two maids walked onto the stage, one of them held a mahogany tray with both hands, and a piece of silk cloth was stacked on it, and the other maid picked up the silk cloth and unfolded it in public, only to see two small characters "Lanshuang" written on the silk cloth.

Seeing that each table was sent with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Bai Yu guessed that this should be today's topic.

The rich merchants and squires didn't react, they didn't have much ink in their stomachs, and they knew that they couldn't write poems, so they didn't write them, so as not to make people laugh, but the scholars at those tables were eager to try, which was their field of expertise.

Bai Yu tried his best to recall the poems in his mind, there are many poems with the theme of orchid, but there are not many poems with both "orchid" and "frost".

Scholars are also thinking hard about meditating, generally speaking, good poems are accidental bursts of inspiration, and it is not easy to write a poem directly out of the question.

Fortunately, there was plenty of time in an hour, and no one was urging him.

After the tea time, the scholars began to write one after another, considering word by word, and writing as well as possible.

"There it is."

Bai Yu finally remembered a poem, and he beckoned to the officers and soldiers behind him, "Grind." ”

The officers and men looked at the inspector with suspicion while grinding, and the inspector bragged about having a criminal record just now...... He deeply doubted that this inspector could write poetry?

The guests at the other tables couldn't help but glance at Bai Yu a few more times, generally speaking, a miscellaneous official like the inspection inspector does not have much ink in his stomach, and in the more than 1,000 years since the founding of the country, there has never been a miscellaneous official who can write any good poems.

"Heh, if you have this ability, you won't be a miscellaneous job, you would have already gained fame and become a regular official."

A scholar wearing a square scarf and a robe shook his head slightly and sneered, he sat upright, held the pen in a very standard posture, and calmly wrote poems on the paper.

The officers and soldiers frowned, "Presumptuous, miscellaneous officials are also officials, what is your identity, you are poor, and you dare to question the inspectors?" ”

The scholar's expression was indifferent, and he got up slowly, with a slender figure and a gentle face, and he bowed his hand to Bai Yu without humility or arrogance, "In the next place, Fang Xuping, ranked fifth in last year's autumn season, and he was added to the promotion." ”

I thought he was just a poor scholar, but I didn't expect that he already had the fame of lifting people, the faces of the officers and soldiers changed, and he regretted it, he actually scolded a lifting person?

The guests were also a little surprised, the fifth place in the autumn is not an ordinary person, and so on in the coming year to participate in the spring festival, the possibility of being admitted to the Jinshi is very high, once the Jinshi is selected, that is, it is a rising tide, becoming a civil official, and now it is indeed qualified to sit on an equal footing with this inspection.

Bai Yu glanced sideways at the scholar, he didn't want to deal with this scholar, but the officers and soldiers he brought had a dispute with the scholar, and he, as the master, naturally had to stand up for his subordinates.

He raised his hand slightly and pressed it down, "Well, that's good, sit down and keep trying." ”

Fang Xuping's face was embarrassed, he didn't sit or not, he politely got up and handed his hand, showing his identity, but this inspection put on a lofty posture, this gesture, this tone, made him feel insulted!

The guests looked at each other strangely, and this inspection seemed to be encouraging the scholars, but in fact it was the posture of the teacher, as if teaching his own students.

Fang Xuping snorted coldly, sat down and continued to write, it is useless to take advantage of his tongue, after all, he has to learn the real chapter, and later, when the poem is announced, he will see how this inspection can get off the stage.

The officers and soldiers were anxious, and leaned over to urge Bai Yu's ear, "My lord, let's go." ”

He is just a soldier, it doesn't matter if he is ashamed or not, but the inspector still has to save face, and when the poem is announced, it will become a joke and spread all over Linfu County, then it will be big, and it may even spread to farther places.

Loaded with a pen and run? ...... Bai Yu didn't think so, how could he be a person who gave up halfway, how could he have a complete pen.

Bai Yu picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper.

Looking at the words like the dog's crawling, the officers and soldiers were miserable, turned their faces, and really couldn't bear to look at them.

When the time came, the two maids came, took away the poems written by the guests, and sent them upstairs.

Fang Xuping glanced coldly at the inspector who was drinking tea slowly, and he didn't leave as soon as possible, it was really commendable.

"Brother Fang is already a person writing poems with those of us who have not yet made a name for themselves, just like an adult bullying a child, it's too unfair."

"This time, Brother Fang went back to his hometown to save relatives, so we had the opportunity to get together with Brother Fang, and after the spring of next year, Brother Fang was awarded the Jinshi and made steady progress, I am afraid it will be difficult to see Brother Fang in this life." ......

Relatively speaking, the group of scholars is quite simple, and there are not so many people who are sophisticated, but there is a world of difference between the famous scholars and the non-famous readers, and the words of other scholars inevitably carry a hint of compliment.

Fang Xuping modestly gestured with his hand, "Your classmates have a good reputation, and when your classmates gain fame in the future, it is also possible for you and me to become colleagues, as the saying goes, there is no end to learning, and you can't learn the frog at the bottom of the well." ”

The scholars snickered slightly, it was difficult to answer, knowing that he meant something, and insinuated that the inspector sat in the well and looked at the sky.
