Chen Hongshou pointed at Wei Zaode with his finger: "In order to win, I don't want to have a face, my junior brother just entered the master's door today, and he hasn't studied for a day, where can I try to compose poems and couplets with you?" If you compare like this, you might as well just declare the winner! ”

Wei Zaode shrugged, "You can't compare, but I just need this kid to kowtow to me three times and shout that I admit defeat, and I'll leave immediately." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zongzhou's disciples were furious, and they rolled up their sleeves and were about to him!

At this time, the literati had not yet been broken by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the literati could lift the pen and the martial arts could get on the horse.

Emperor Jing of this dynasty once in the early dynasty, Wenchen violently beat Jinyiwei, at that time the crowd was angry, a group of civil officials fought against a military attaché, and the Jinyiwei military attache was beaten to death in front of the emperor, so it was not over, this group of civil officials killed two eunuchs.

In the end, Emperor Jing of Zhou ordered his ministers to be innocent, and this murderous court brawl was stopped.

Wei Zaode didn't expect Huang Zongxi and the others to be so short-tempered, and they were about to run away when they raised their legs.

Shen Liang had been paying attention to this champion Lang, and took the first step to block the door, "Champion Yuangong, what do you want?" ”

Wei Zaode sneered and said: "Brother Zhong'an, I am in a little anxious, so I can borrow a thatched house for use." ”

Zhang Luxiang shouted: "Senior Brother Zhong'an, don't let that shameless man run away, he has repeatedly insulted my master, if you don't beat him today, he won't know why the flowers are so popular!" ”

Wei Zaode was so frightened that his soul was scared, and shouted: "Everyone reads the books of sages, how can you be so unworthy of Wende, I am a guest invited by Lord Liu!" Lord Liu save me! ”

Liu Zongzhou was also on fire, but Wei Zaode was a guest he invited, and he was the champion of this year, and he was beaten in his mansion and spread it, and his reputation Liu Zongzhou was completely stinky.

Smack-

Liu Zongzhou slapped the table hard: "Enough!" Sit down for me, noisy and noisy, what kind of system? ”

"Master, but he is not disrespectful!"

"Master......"

Liu Zongzhou waved his hand and said: "Since I open the door to accept apprentices, I am not afraid of other people's challenges, can it be that those who open martial arts halls in the capital, if someone comes to kick the gym, they also have to close the door?" ”

"Since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second in martial arts, since Zhuangyuan Gong wants to learn from me, a disciple who has just started, then come, Zhong'an, what do you think?"

"Zhong An'an is on Master's orders." Shen Liang replied respectfully.

Huang Zongxi and the others were indignant, but the master had already spoken, and they had to listen, otherwise they would be deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Wei Zaode was not in a hurry to run away, but he also restrained a lot and did not dare to provoke anymore.

"In the end, Lord Liu understands the righteousness, you still have to learn more from Lord Liu, how to keep your light and keep quiet, don't whine at every turn."

Wei Zaode bowed to Liu Zongzhou.

Liu Zongzhou had no good impression of Wei Zaode at this time, and said with disgust: "Since you want to compete, let's start, what is the first competition?" ”

Wei Zaode smiled slightly: "Two wins in three games, they are memory, poetry, and couplets, I won't bully him, let Brother Zhong'an decide the order of the game." ”

Liu Zongzhou looked at Shen Liang: "Zhong'an, what do you mean?" ”

Shen Liang said proudly: "If he wants to fight, I will fight, although I have just entered the teacher's door today, but I am not scared, as the so-called bare feet are not afraid to wear shoes!" ”

Huang Zongxi and the others laughed, stroked their palms and applauded: "Little junior brother, good look, backbone!" ”

Wei Zaode snorted coldly: "I hope you can still laugh later." ”

After speaking, he followed Liu Zongzhou out of the living room.

Since you have to compete, you can't be in a cramped living room.

Jia Zheng glanced at his son and asked, "Baoyu, are you sure?" ”

Shen Liang blinked and said with a smile, "Do your best." ”

Jia Zheng was anxious, quietly pulled Shen Liang's sleeve to the side, and said in a low voice: "Baoyu, you can't do things that you are not sure of, the other party is this year's champion, the emperor hand-picked, is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, you compete with him, if you lose, you will lose the face of my Jia family, I don't think it's better like this, you tell Lord Liu, let's admit defeat, there is no need to compare." ”

In fact, Jia Zheng still wanted Shen Liang to withdraw from the teacher, after all, the apprenticeship ceremony had just been completed, and it was still too late to regret it.

Although Liu Zongzhou is a member of the third grade, he is very old, and it is estimated that he will have to return to his hometown in a few years.

Wei Zaode is just the opposite, at the age of thirty-five, he is the emperor's hand-picked champion, this is a rising star, politically bright, and has a bright future!

Although Jia Zheng was also very angry that the other party deliberately embarrassed himself just now, he was the spokesperson of Rongguo Mansion in the officialdom after all, and he couldn't be rash.

Adults, rightly or wrongly, only look at the benefits.

On one side is Wei Zaode, who is rising in the east, and on the other hand, Liu Zongzhou is in the sunset, and fools know how to choose.

Shen Liang gently broke free of Jia Zheng's hand, and said: "Father, the prince of heaven and earth, I have already worshiped under the teacher's door, from now on, he is half of my father, if I surrender and admit defeat now, it will not only be my Jia family's face, but also my master's face, this matter is difficult for my son!" ”

After speaking, Shen Liang turned around and walked out of the living room, following in the footsteps of several senior brothers.

Jia Zheng looked at Shen Liang's back, his expression was a little dazed, and he seemed to see his father's shadow.

He stomped his foot, sighed, and hurried after him.

The location of the competition was set in Liu Zongzhou's study.

Liu Zongzhou's study is huge, more than 100 square meters, and the walls around the study are all placed with bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full, all of which are all kinds of classics.

Among them, there are some unique books from the previous dynasty and some famous people's calligraphy, paintings, and codexes.

In the center of the study is a large sandalwood table with the four treasures of the study, as well as a large pen holder with a variety of brushes.

They range from large brushes as thick as a child's arm to pen shapes as thin as chopsticks, and these brushes are quite badly worn, and it can be seen that their owner is a hard-working person who has worked tirelessly.

On one wall of the study, there is a couplet.

Shanglian is "the height of the temple is worried about its people." ”

The next link is "far away from the rivers and lakes, worrying about its king." ”

These are two sentences in the Song Dynasty Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower".

Since the Song Dynasty, the literati have all taken Fan Wenzhenggong as a model, hoping that they can also meet the standards of Fan Wenzhenggong.

Wei Zaode found a stool early to sit down and looked around at the layout of the study.

Shen Liang walked into the study, Liu Zongzhou beckoned to him, Shen Liang hurriedly walked over, Liu Zongzhou encouraged: "Don't be nervous, just treat it as an experience, it doesn't matter if you lose." ”

Shen Liang pursed his lips, and he listened to it.

He is not afraid of memory, but when he tries poems and couplets, he really has no bottom.

He has long read the history books, after the Song Dynasty, Mengyuan chased the Central Plains, and the Taizu of the Later Great Zhou Dynasty jumped to the south of the Yangtze River, fought from the south to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and founded the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The romantic figures, poems and songs that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty are all gone.

His only reliance was on the poetry written by the literati of the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, he almost forgot the poems of the Ming Dynasty, and he remembered a copy of "Golden Vase Plum".

As for the couplet, he has nine out of ten tricks.

The only thing that will be is the clouds to the rain, the snow to the wind, the continent to the sky, the mountains to the water, and the willow green to pink.
