Under the watchful eye of all.

At the top of the stairs, a white-faced middle-aged man in a white shirt was leading the two up to the fifth floor.

The two of them, an old man in a white shirt and an elegant scribe, were the two people who were in the private room on the fourth floor before.

Seeing these two people, Yan Beichen, who was proudly shaking the folding fan here, immediately closed the folding fan, turned into a well-behaved student and walked up quickly, bowing down:

"Student Yan Beichen, I've seen Professor Wang, I've seen Mr. Wang!"

"Hmm!"

The elegant scribe and the white-shirted old man nodded with a smile, but they didn't say much to Yan Beichen, but continued to walk forward with the white-faced middle-aged man.

But despite this, Yan Beichen was also very proud because he was the only one who knew these two people here, and when he looked at the students, especially at Zhao Yu, he was very proud.

It's just that Zhao Yu and the students didn't pay attention to Yan Beichen, and everyone just looked at the three elders who arrived curiously.

The white-faced middle-aged man walked while meeting the eyes of the students, and laughed:

"Haha! Welcome all students to my Yueping Tower, let you wait for a long time! ”

As he spoke, the white-faced middle-aged man and the white-shirted old man came to the middle of the banquet and stood still, and said with a straight chest:

"Yue Mou first introduce himself, I am the master of Yue Ping Building, and Yue Donglai is also!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Yue Ping, I'll see Mr. Yue Ping later!"

Hearing the introduction of the white-faced middle-aged, a group of students here saluted one after another, and Zhao Yu also signaled slightly.

For the owner of this Yueping Tower, Zhao Yu heard Chu Wangqiu introduce when he came here, it is said that Yue Donglai is a very talented scribe, known as Mr. Yue Ping, because of the good lotus, he specially built this Yueping Tower on the bank of the West Lake River.

"You're welcome, students!"

Looking at the group of students who were saluting, Yue Donglai smiled, and then pointed to the white-shirted old man and the elegant scribe beside him, and introduced:

"You students, there must be people who don't know these two, right? Yue will introduce to you! This old man in a white shirt is a scripture teacher of Shigu Academy, and the dynasty hires an old gentleman; This elegant scribe is the professor in charge of Hengzhou Fuxue, Professor Wang Jingzhi. ”

"Shhh...... I've met Mr. Wang, I've met Professor Wang! ”

Hearing the identities of the two, all the students here were startled and hurriedly saluted.

This time, the voices of the students were louder and more excited, and even Zhao Yu saluted respectfully.

The Stone Drum Academy, one of the four great academies in ancient China, can serve as a scripture teacher in it, which shows its learning.

It is also like this, the dynasty hired the "Spring and Autumn Period", often lectured on papers, is a great Confucian, extremely famous in Huguang, scholars call him Mr. Wuyi.

And Wang Jingzhi is not to mention, as a professor in charge of education in a government, but the invigilator of this government examination, how dare the students not be respectful?

"You don't have to be polite, just feel free to enjoy the place here!"

Wang Jingzhi waved his hand casually, and looked at the students with a smile with Wang Chaozhi, especially Zhao Yu and Yan Beichen, who looked at each other a few more times.

After getting to know each other, Ran Luoyou also came out of the bead curtain at this time, and met with Wang Jingzhi, and then Yue Donglai beckoned everyone to sit down and let the next person serve wine and food.

At this time, it was noon, and Yue Pinglou would not treat these students slowly, and directly arranged a sumptuous lunch for this banquet.

The seats arranged in Yueping Tower are also very particular, and everyone sits alone at a small low table.

Wang Jingzhi, Wang Chaoping and Yue Donglai sat at the front, Ran Luoyou sat next to them with a veil to play the piano to cheer up, and the remaining dozen or so students sat on both sides, looking like the scene of drinking and feasting in ancient times.

However, although the seats of the students were in no particular order and at random, everyone also sat in secret according to their own fame.

Just like Yan Beichen, he sat in the first seat on the left, closest to Wang Jingzhi and the others, looking like the head of all the students.

Only Zhao Yu, Fang Ziyu and Li Xiang sat at the end of the right side together.

The banquet begins.

Ran Luoyu's piano sounded, and he began to push the cup and change the lamp.

It's just that after only drinking a round of wine, Zhao Yu just put a chopstick dish in his mouth, Yue Donglai over there looked at each other with Wang Jingzhi and Wang Chaopin and smiled, and then struck the knot, glanced at the students, and said with a smile:

"Today, there is good wine and beautiful scenery, how can we not have poetry? Yue proposed that today's poetry competition start now, what do you think? ”

"Good! I can't wait! ”

The students put down their wine glasses one after another, sat up straight, and looked eager to try.

Seeing this, Yue Donglai smiled and continued:

In this case, then Yue will talk about the rules of the competition: everyone composes a poem here, and the best one will win the prize this time, eyebrow lines! The selection of poems is held by Mr. Wang and Professor Wang, what do you think? ”

"Of course! Only Mr. Wang and Professor Wang can't! ”

The students nodded solemnly, full of reason.

Seeing this, Wang Chaopin and Wang Jingzhi smiled, but they didn't speak, just watched with interest.

Yue Donglai didn't say anything more, raised his hands and patted them a few times.

Immediately, Ran Luoyou's maid walked out from behind the bead curtain and came to Yue Donglai's side, and in his hand, he also held a tray padded with a red cloth, on which was placed an inkstone.

The inkstone is a natural irregular rectangle, pale black, with beautiful white eyebrow lines distributed on it, like a flock of geese soaring, like smiling eyebrows blooming, full of dynamic beauty, people can't put it down.

In addition, on the inkstone, there are also carved a few small seals, the font is vigorous and powerful, it is a master's work at a glance, on the edge of the inkstone of the inkstone, there is a twined branch pattern, the whole shape is full of simple and elegant, beautiful and generous.

Seeing such an inkstone, there was silence here, and all the students looked at it directly.

Facing the eyes of all the students, Yue Donglai smiled, took the inkstone on the tray, and introduced:

"This is the prize this time, eyebrow wrinkles! This inkstone is Yue's collection, made of Tang Mei inkstone, from the hands of Huizhou inkstone masters, beautiful shape, grinding hard but not slippery, caressing it tightly and warmly, even in many inkstones are good! And the four words on the inkstone 'group of geese Xiang Ji', is the rubbing calligraphy of everyone's words, not only depicts the characteristics of this square Yan Yan, but also means that the students who get this Yan Yan, such as geese soaring, soaring on the road of the imperial examination, steady steps! ”

"Tsk! What an inkstone! ”

As soon as Yue Donglai's voice fell, Wang Jingzhi beside him looked at the eyebrow line inkstone in his hand with envy, and said with a smile:

"The eyebrow lines are fine and warm, both inky and elegant, and have always been highly respected by many literati! And this inkstone shape is simple and natural, and the eyebrow lines are beautiful, especially this meaning, which is even more wonderful! If it weren't for the inopportune place, if I hadn't passed the imperial examination, I wouldn't have competed with all the students today! ”

"Huh! If Professor Wang has this Yaxing, he can end up today, isn't this Fang Yan 'a group of geese flying together'? It can also mean that you are on a successful career in the office! ”

When Wang Chaoping heard Wang Jingzhi's words, he immediately stroked his beard and laughed, showing encouragement to Wang Jingzhi.

Seeing this, Wang Jingzhi also knew that Wang Chaopin was making fun of him, so he shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't say anything anymore.

Seeing the two friends joking, Yue Donglai smiled dumbly, and then shook the inkstone in his hand at the students, and said loudly:

"Students, can you have confidence?"

"Of course! Such an inkstone, it should be me! ”

"Such a good inkstone, only compatible with me!"

Hearing Yue Donglai's words, all the students came back to their senses from the eyebrow lines, all of them held their heads high, and spoke out excitedly without humility.

In such a poetry competition, once you win the first prize, not to mention being able to show your face and leave a good impression in front of Professor Wang Jingzhi, you can get such a good inkstone, just for the meaning of the inkstone, these students have to fight hard!

Soar in the imperial examination and make steady progress!

With such a good fortune and good meaning, which student can refuse to take the imperial examination?

At this moment, even Zhao Yu sat up straight, glad that he hadn't left before.

And Yan Beichen is even more proud to raise his head at this time, and he will not let it go!

"Good! You and other students, you and other people of the imperial examination, you should have such courage, who else has the courage! ”

Looking at the passionate students, Wang Jingzhi praised loudly, then looked at Yue Donglai, and said:

"Mr. Yue Ping, let's start!"
