Chapter 17: The Show Begins
Xu Dapeng was not surprised by Xia Jingyun's ignorance, and explained: "This is my first talent in Jiang'an County, Zeng Zize!" Studied under Mr. Guanyun, a great Confucian scholar in the state, it is said that he has a true biography, this Wenhui will be held in Jiang'an County, and some people say that this Wenkui is likely to be won by him! ”
Xia Jingyun reacted immediately when he heard it, oh, one pays two.
"He takes Wen Kui? Do you really think there is no one in the state? ”
A scholar next to the two of them who didn't get up and salute just now smiled coldly, "Zeng Zize is just an ordinary disciple of Mr. Guanyun, this time the entire Surabaya Prefecture is full of talents, and the sages are all over, why should he take Wenkui?" ”
Xu Dapeng's character is never false, "Why, of course, you learn by real talent!" If you set the order of fame before you start, what is it like? Isn't it okay to just announce it? ”
The scholar next to him was stunned, Xu Dapeng was unforgiving, "Who takes Wen Kui is a guess, you think Brother Zi Ze can't take Wen Kui, it's no problem." But you are talking about an ordinary disciple with your mouth open and closed, how can poetry, books and literature depend on your family background? So what other sage books do we scholars read? Just be a dog for the powerful! ”
"Well said!" Xia Jingyun wilted and wilted beside the fire.
The scholar's face turned red, "Extremely pedantic! Too lazy to talk to you more! ”
Xu Dapeng snorted coldly, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when a bigger commotion appeared, and a young man wearing a crown of jade, dressed in brocade, with red lips and white teeth, walked in surrounded by others.
This time, more than half of the people stepped forward to say hello.
The scholar next to the two of them turned his head to look at the two, snorted, and trotted over.
Xia Jingyun saw that Xu Dapeng, who was still like a courtesan just now, didn't speak this time, and asked in surprise: "Brother Boyi, who is this person?" ”
Xu Dapeng's eyes were complicated, and he sighed lightly: "Our Surabaya Prefecture has only produced two literary giants in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, one is Mr. Mingquan and the other is Mr. Guanlu, and the two have supported the peak of Surabaya Prefecture's literary style for nearly thirty years. This person is Mr. Mingquan's great-grandson, Lin Feibai. ”
Oh, one for one.
Xia Jingyun nodded clearly, and then wondered: "In that case, why didn't Brother Bo Yi say hello?" ”
Xu Dapeng lowered his voice, "But a person who relies on his father's remnants of the shadow, his real talent is not mediocre, and I look down on him." Of course, he also looked down on me. ”
After speaking, he looked at Xia Jingyun with burning eyes.
Xia Jingyun immediately took a stand, "I also look down on this kind of rice worm who doesn't learn and has no skills!" ”
"Huh! I can't say that, he can't be considered a rice worm, it's just that he is not worthy of virtue and pretentious. ”
Xia Jingyun looked at him, and suddenly felt that it was really interesting to meet this buddy today.
After watching Lin Feibai salute everyone, he walked to the first row and sat down in a seat away from Zeng Jimin.
The previous student who had quarreled with Xia Jingyun and Xu Dapeng came back slowly, looking at the two of them and smiling proudly, "Let me tell some simple and ridiculous people, three of the four Confucians present today have studied under Mr. Mingquan, and the remaining one has also received Mr. Mingquan's favor many times." ”
Xia Jingyun tugged at the corners of his mouth, good guy, the referees are all your people?
Xu Dapeng was also silent when he heard this.
"What? It was so crazy just now, and now it's speechless? The other party sneered on the ground.
Xu Dapeng suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Jingyun, "Brother Gao Yang, I'm thinking about something now. ”
Xia Jingyun, a person like Xia Jingyun, who was born as a project manager, immediately answered, "Oh? What's up? ”
Xu Dapeng rubbed his chin, "I'm wondering, if you sleep with an Oiran, will I be very proud?" ”
Xia Jingyun was an old oilman, and he instantly understood in his heart, and snorted with a pout, "You are proud of yourself, are you cheering up at the door or pushing your back in the back?" ”
Xu Dapeng's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Xia Jingyun to be able to match it, and immediately said stiffly: "Although you and I are just nodding friends, but you can sleep with Oiran, and I am not with Yourongyan, as if I also slept with you." ”
Xia Jingyun looked disdainful, "You can also say it, if I were you, you would go back and be with the five girls, and then cry bitterly, feeling that you are useless, and showing off, what is there to show off, is that your thing?" Where did the face come from? ”
"Vulgar! Vulgar! The scholar next to him listened with relish, suddenly reacted, instantly blushed, pointed at the two and scolded: "Vulgar! Don't you hear that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and you actually tarnish our friendship with such vulgar words! ”
Xu Dapeng had an expression of "are you okay", "What are you talking about?" We're talking about Oiran friendships, not bullshit gentlemen's friendships. You have that hobby, don't say it and disgust me. ”
"His mother!" The scholar rolled up his sleeves and was about to swing his fist at him, when suddenly a chorus of shouts suddenly sounded from all sides, "Silence! ”
The three of them were startled, thinking they were yelling at them, but it turned out that it was the Great Confucian and some of the magnates who came to watch the ceremony began to enter the venue one after another.
The Confucian people were smiling one by one, and the magnates were dragging their families with their mouths, and the scene that had just calmed down became lively again.
Xia Jingyun also took the opportunity to ask a question that was very puzzled just now, "Brother Boyi, didn't you hear that there is a person named Zheng Tianyu who is the most promising to become Wenkui?" Where is he? ”
Xu Dapeng said in a low voice: "Gongzi Zhongming is recognized as the first prince of Surabaya Prefecture, but now there are many thieves and bandits in the state, it is said that he is studying in the state to suppress bandits, this time Wenhui, he is likely not to appear, otherwise, people like Lin Feibai do not dare to have any unrealistic extravagant expectations for Wen Kui." ”
Xia Jingyun's heart sank, "This Zheng Tianyu is so powerful?" ”
"Of course, when it comes to family history, Prince Zhongming is the second son of Zheng Taishou of Jianning County, and he is no worse than Lin Feibai, but everyone disdains Lin Feibai, but they are convinced of him. The state school taught that he was not qualified to accept him as a disciple, and several Confucian professors almost fought in order to accept the apprentice, but thanks to the fact that Lord Xuezheng came forward to uphold justice, he accepted him as a disciple, and the matter was settled. And as his second son, his eldest brother has publicly stated that he is the best choice to inherit the family business, and he quits by himself, you say, how powerful is this? ”
Xia Jingyun stroked his chest slightly, "That's good that he didn't come." ”
Xu Dapeng looked at him in surprise and teased: "What, are you still afraid that he will compete with you for Wenkui?" ”
Xia Jingyun immediately smiled, "Being a human being, without dreams, what's the difference between that and salted fish." ”
Xu Dapeng smiled disappreciatively at first, and then slowly fell silent.
On the stage, the great Confucian began to sing praises of virtue, and praised the holy rule of His Majesty today, the peace of the country and the people, and the clear Haiyan River;
praised Concubine De's kindness, what a significant contribution she made to her hometown fathers, and so on.
Xia Jingyun listened silently, thinking of what happened to his family and the huge mass graves in the labor camp, and sneered expressionlessly in his heart.
Finally, after a few great Confucians finished talking nonsense, a great Confucian in the center stood up, and after a long speech, he spoke loudly.
"I announce that this meeting has officially begun!"
A loud gong sounded throughout the venue.
