This kind of thing is very rare in Panzhou. At most, I met at the poetry and literature meeting, and I secretly competed. How could there be such a thing as now, when I heard that Tanhualang lived in an inn, he rushed to block the door?

At the first time, Chen Tang thought of a word: touching porcelain.

For many Jiangnan literati, they came to challenge Chen Tang, no matter whether they won or lost, they all earned. If you lose, you can boast to others: "I once compared poetry with Tanhualang";

There's something to say anyway.

And if Chen Tang avoided it, a new topic came out: in the face of Jiangnan scholars, Tanhualang cowardly avoided and lost his reputation......

In this regard, both civil and military, the essence has something in common.

Chen Tang can understand this, these Jiangnan scholars have a lot of complaints about the current gold list. Yijia Tanhua is too young, and he comes from Panzhou, where birds don't pull eggs.

As we all know, there is actually a fixed number of places for admission in the children's examination and the lifting examination every year. And the number varies from state to state. For example, every year, the states in the south of the Yangtze River are twice as much, or even two or three times as many as those in Panzhou.

However, the large number of admitted people does not mean that the probability of admission is high. On the contrary, if you want to show off your talents or raise people in the Jiangnan exam, it is actually much more difficult than in Panzhou.

There is no other reason, all because the number of readers in Jiangnan is too large. For example, in Panzhou, 100 people are admitted to the first imperial examination, and 10 people are admitted, or 1/10 of them, while in Jiangzhou, 30 people are admitted, but the number of candidates who take the examination often reaches 4, 500, or even 1,000.

Which is easier?

Another point is that the level of Jiangnan scholars' scriptures and articles is generally high, and many of them are among the best, and the ones in Panzhou are uneven. In this way, if you want to pass the exam, in addition to your own strength, you have to hope that God will reward you.

Many factors have made the Jiangnan region hoard a large number of fallen scholars. As they grew older, their path to the imperial examination became more and more narrow and hopeless, and they were full of resentment and grievances in their hearts, looking for a target to spread.

Chen Tang is a very good target, which is why there is the current door blocking incident.

"Childe, what should I do?"

Ah Bao asked, looking nervous and a little excited, as if he wanted his son-in-law to go downstairs and kill those so-called Jiangnan geniuses without leaving a piece of armor.

"What to do?"

Chen Tang stretched out his hands: "Do you think I'm idle?"

The troubled times are coming, these Jiangnan literati are still ignorant, indulging in the wind and snow, talking about poetry and lyrics, can they be eaten?

Ah Bao was stunned and asked, "What about them?"

"Let them make trouble, do you dare to rush upstairs and beat me?"

Chen Tang said very shamefully.

Po was speechless, but he thought about it. Those literati, at most, only pay lip service, and they are all weak and weak, and they have no power to restrain chickens, where can they beat people? Besides, their own sons are people who go to be officials, who dares to go wild?

He touched his head and said, "Okay, I'll go down and guard the stairs with Ah Lai, and don't let them come up to make trouble." ”

Chen Tang laughed and said: "Xiucai rebelled, and it won't work for three years, so you can't make trouble." ”

I thought in my heart, most of the people who are shouting downstairs now are third-rate literati, and the Jiangnan geniuses who really have heads and faces are pretentious, so they will not fall so much. It's like a group of cats and dogs coming to challenge martial arts masters, and fools pay attention to them.

Ah Bao went down, and Chen Tang went back to his room and continued to read and write. Su Ling was also shocked, walked over, and after asking, he said angrily: "These people are really idle and have nothing to do, they have the ability, go and take the test by themselves." What's the point of making a fuss now?"

Chen Tang listened and smiled.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. This time, it was the innkeeper who came up with Po.

The boss smiled with a smile on his face: "Lord Tanhua, if you have time, please go down and say a few words." Downstairs, no one has a place to stand. ”

Chen Tang said with a smile: "Isn't it good to be popular and prosperous?"

The boss had a bitter face: "Having said that, it will only affect the other residents and diners in the store, and they all have opinions." ”

Chen Tang groaned slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Well, since they want to come to me to ask for literary talents, I will make a pair, and if someone is right, they will be qualified to see me." If you don't feel good, please take care of yourself, where to come and go. ”

When the boss heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "That's very good." ”

In fact, this scene is very topical, for the inn, it is equivalent to a wave of publicity, the more lively it is, the more interactive it is, the better.

Chen Tang returned to his desk, spread the paper and ink, and after a little thought, he began to write. It doesn't take half an hour for the pen and ink to be completed, and when it is dry, it will be handed over to Ah Bao and asked him to take it down.

Ah Baoru held the holy decree, rushed downstairs, and said loudly: "My son-in-law said, since you like to ask for advice so much, you will make a pair to see who can match." If you can't even get the pair right, hey, get out of here soon, so as not to be embarrassed. ”

When everyone heard him speak arrogantly, they could not help but be indignant and open their mouths to shout.

Ah Bao didn't talk nonsense, and directly unfolded his pen and ink, revealing in front of people.

A group of Jiangnan literati raised their heads to look at it, and when they saw that it was a long couplet, they couldn't help but think about it, and the scene suddenly became silent.

......

When the meal arrived, Po brought the meal with a large wooden plate as usual. Seeing Chen Tang, he smiled and said, "Childe is really powerful, none of them can match your pair." Those faces were almost the color of pig's liver, and many people slipped away with interest, and a few people were left to sit down and be stupid. My brows were knotted, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to think about them, so I sat down until dawn. ”

Chen Tang pouted: "It's useless to sit until dawn." ”

Put the food on the table, call Su Ling over, and eat it happily.

It wasn't until after eating that Su Ling asked, "Brother Bujin, aren't you going out tonight?"

Chen Tang said: "I'll see later." ”

Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival is full, and Jiangzhou must be extremely lively. But for him, he was just a passerby. A lot of prosperity and excitement are none of my business, and I don't want to get involved.

He didn't know that the pair hanging downstairs had already spread out and become a big topic.

The group of literati who poured into the inn before were indeed not in the stream, they searched for dry intestines, and they couldn't match them, and they all felt shameless, and sighed and left. But at the same time, it also publicized the fact that Chen Tang was a pair. also named it, saying that Chen Tang looked down on Jiangnan scholars, so he was absolutely arrogant......

And so forth and so on.

People are terrible, and the three of them become tigers. After this matter fermented, it attracted the huge literary circle of Jiangzhou Mansion, and many scholars rushed to the Yue Guest Inn. It is said that it even alarmed several real talents who are famous in Jiangnan to come over and have a long time with Chen Tang.
