The West Lake of Lingzhou, which connects the water of the Yujiang River, is the most beautiful place in the scenery of the province.

There are usually five types of people who visit the lake to admire the moon.

First, sitting on the boat, playing the flute and beating the drums, wearing a high crown, wearing beautiful and neat clothes, the lights are bright, the servants are accompanied by you, the music and the lights are intertwined, drunk and dreaming of death.

Second, he also sat on the boat, with famous beauties and virtuous and talented women, and with beautiful children, laughing and joking with joking shouts, sitting on the terrace in front of the big ship, looking left and right, vassal elegance.

Thirdly, he also sat on a boat, and there was also music and singing, drinking slowly with famous courtesans and idle monks, singing in a man's voice, and the music of the flute and qin was soft and gentle, and Xiao Guan accompanied by singing in unison, intending to attract attention.

Fourth, they did not take a boat or a car, did not wear a long shirt or a headscarf, drank enough wine and had a full meal, called three or five people, crowded into the crowd in groups, shouted loudly in the temple and the long bridge, pretended to be drunk, and sang songs that could not be heard, which often attracted everyone's attention.

Fifth, on a small boat, the boat is hung with a thin and thin curtain, the coffee table is clean, the tea stove is warm, the tea pan quickly boils the water, the white porcelain bowl is gently passed, the friends and beauties are invited, the moon is invited to sit with them, some are hidden in the shade of the trees, and some go to the lake to escape the noise.

Qin Chuan and Wang Fu do not belong to these five categories of people.

They had come to attend the hairpin feast.

One of the largest boats on the West Lake has been chartered by local celebrities to support the hairpin banquet held by the Tixue adults.

This building ship is naturally the most eye-catching existence on the West Lake tonight.

In the next ten or twenty years, it is impossible to say that there will be two or three Jinshi among them, who will decide the rise and fall of a certain family and a certain surname in Lingzhou Mansion and affect the power pattern of the local gentry.

A person who has attained the Tao of the chicken and dog ascended to heaven, and it was vividly reflected in the imperial examination.

Qin Chuan and Wang Fu sat at the same table, because the others either had permission or knew something, in short, they did not openly befriend Qin Chuan in this scene where all the rookies were there.

As for privately, they are still eager to have some communication with Qin Chuan.

After all, Qinchuan Bagu article did so well.

But today, the celebrity whose surname is Huang who sponsored the Yamen to hold a hairpin banquet is Huang Meng's uncle.

Tixue's acceptance of Huang Mingshi's overtures actually means that Tixue and the bigwigs behind him have reached a compromise with the factions related to the Huang family, and the two sides have not reached the point of saber rattling after all.

Of course, Wang Fu knows a little, but he is not afraid of the Huang family.

What's more, Huang Meng is often the child of someone else's family in the mouth of the royal family.

This time, Qin Chuan overwhelmed Huang Meng and won the first place in the hospital examination, which made Huang Meng's heart feel very happy.

What is so bullish about Huang Meng, he is not the same as him, he is just a rookie, Tong Sheng tried three exams, and none of them were Huang Meng.

Give him a chance, it's useless.

Anyway, Wang Fu has been very happy these days.

It is said that the Huang family did not prepare a banquet for Huang Meng's entrance examination.

When Wang Fu heard this, he almost looked up to the sky and smiled.

Of course, the old man of his family didn't give him a banquet, and warned him that after a while, his uncle Nie Zhixian's cousin would come to Lingzhou Mansion to play, let him be the host, and entertain his cousin.

This time, Wang Fu was able to pass the children's test, and his uncle made a lot of effort.

Wang Fu happily took the matter, eating, drinking and having fun, but it was his old job.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Wang Fu has a very good appetite and eats very happily.

Of course, he couldn't compare with Qin Chuan, because Liuxian was like a whirlwind, and he ate most of the food on the table.

Other rookies are talking with the people around them, talking about the past and the present, drinking a lot of wine, but not eating much.

The painting style of Qin Chuan and Wang Fu is really incompatible with the hairpin banquet.

At this time, Huang Mingshi couldn't stand it, and proposed that he and several old Jinshi of Zhishi go to the wine order.

And the form of this drinking order is not an ordinary general order, such as rolling dice, drawing lots, drawing fists, guessing numbers, etc., but Yaling.

The method of the decree of Yaling is as follows: first one person is promoted as the commander, or a verse, or a pair, and the others continue the order according to the intention of the first order, and the continuation must be consistent in content and form, otherwise they will be punished for drinking. When performing the elegant order, it is necessary to quote the classics, rhyme and chant, conceive on the spot, and deal with it on the spot, which requires the person who performs the wine order to have both literary talent and talent, but also agility and wit, so it is the best way to show the talent of the drinker in the wine order.

This time the order was in the form of a verse, which had to be conceived on the spot, and if it was borrowed from the ancients, if it was recognized, it was punishable.

It is self-evident who this move intends and everyone present.

Qin Chuan was born in the countryside, so naturally he has no channels to know poetry and songs, and no matter how well the article is done, it must be a shortcoming in this regard.

Soon Huang Mingshi came up with the question, "A round of full moon shines on the golden bottle." ”

He raised his glass to Qin Chuan and smiled: "Next, let's ask our Lingzhou Mansion to be the first to continue the wine order of Xiao Sanyuan, which comes out once every ten years." ”

Qin Chuan kept silent, did not continue the wine order, and punished himself with a glass of wine.

Huang Mingshi saw that Qin Chuan didn't answer, and it seemed that he did poke Qin Chuan's shortcomings, so he continued, "The golden bottle pours the full moon and the full wheel." ”

Qin Chuan still punished himself with a glass of wine.

Huang Mingshi smiled slightly, "Then let me say the third sentence, the full moon fell into the golden bottle, and the head of the Qin case can think about it for a while." ”

Qin Chuan still punished himself.

Huang Mingshi laughed, "The next sentence is to hold a gold bottle with a moon swallow." It seems that our little case leader is not good at these trails, so I won't embarrass you. ”

He said to Huang Meng again: "Huang Meng, since the head of the Qin case is not good at the trail outside the imperial examination articles, you have been distracted by these in the past few days, and today you will use what you have learned from your daily distractions to have a good time with your classmates." These things will be used in the officialdom in the future. ”

Everyone present, there is no shortage of smart people, secretly scolding Huang Mingshi for being an old fox, when he says this, doesn't it imply that Huang Meng lost to Qin Chuan in the scientific examination article because he was distracted by poetry and songs.

In this way, Huang Meng can save some reputation in public opinion.

also gave Qin Chuanan an an image of a nerd who concentrates on scientific research and is not familiar with popular affairs.

It's really a good calculation.

Of course, he didn't even open his mouth to mention learning, so naturally no one planned to stand up for Qin Chuan. So the crowd was lively and began to make a drinking order.

Huang Meng was a little absent-minded.

He has seen Qin Chuan's article, the article can do that kind of way, poetry and songs, such a trail is really easy to come by, and with a little study, it can surpass the world.

Qin Chuan may know the strength of the Huang family and deliberately hide it.

In this way, Huang Meng had a feeling of punching the cotton, and he couldn't vent the frustration of Tong Sheng's frustration.

Everyone was drunk, and only Huang Meng paid attention to Qin Chuan from time to time.

Suddenly, when Huang Meng looked at Qin Chuan's table again, he found that Qin Chuan was gone.

Huang Meng couldn't help but be distracted.

Huang Mingshi always paid attention to his nephew, and when he saw Huang Meng lose his mind, he found that Qin Chuan had slipped away at some point.

He said to the people beside him: "Great Grandmaster, your protégé Qin Chuan, why did he leave without saying goodbye. It's not because the old man embarrassed him, but the old man is not. ”

Tixue smiled faintly, "You said to stay in the immortals, when he came, he told me that there are orphans in the clan who have elders in the family to take care of, and they can't stay for a long time." So I told in advance that when I was full of wine and food, I had to rush back immediately. He didn't dare to walk at night, so he invited the boy from the Wang family to accompany him. And this kid is really different from others. He also sent me a poem describing his life's aspirations. You look at this poem, after reading it, you should understand what kind of people people are, and don't embarrass the juniors in the future. ”

Huang Mingshi immediately took a poem from Tixue,

"Where is the fragrance of flowers at night? The sound of the thatched hut in the stone forest across the stream.

The moonrise of the ghost is lonely, and the bird mountain is empty and chirps.

The grass dew is wet, and the pine wind is light with Geyi.

Linliu wants to write Yilanyi, Jiangbei and Jiangnan are infinitely affectionate. ”

The poet writes about the night scene of the mountains and forests, which is quiet. But in it, the pure contemplation of being tired of the world and returning to it makes people taste it for a long time.

An old jinshi took it from Huang Mingshi's hand, squinted his eyes and looked at it under the light, and couldn't help but praise: "Good poetry, handsome and refreshing, gushing out of the line of ink." ”

He shook his head and read out the poems, like drinking immortal wine, with a look of enjoyment.

This poem not only brings the secluded style that traditional scholars yearn for on the paper, but also shows how open-minded Qin Chuan is at the end.

Qin Chuan did such a poetic work, but he did not receive the wine order, either he couldn't, but he really didn't do it.

Because Qin Chuan's level is too high for traditional scholars, so high that he disdains to deal with old masters like Huang Mingshi.

If it weren't for the study of Qin Chuan's poems, they wouldn't have known that Qin Chuan had such a poetic talent and such an open-minded mind.

Huang Mengru eats bitter fruit, and it is not a taste in every way.

The gap between him and Qin Chuan was even bigger than he imagined.

He had no way to defeat Qin Chuan head-on, and even if he could be an opponent with Qin Chuan, it was only because his surname was Huang. This is a reality that Huang Meng can never accept.

But reality is reality.

It's skinny, it's desperate.
