Chapter 4 Needlepoint, Maimang

The gray-robed old man nodded, beckoned to the entourage behind him, who turned around and entered the inner hall, and after a while, took out a stick of incense, thinking that it was not uncommon for such a literati to be vindictive at the time of every big and small assessment.

"Ahem," the gray-robed director cleared his throat and said: "Since the two of you have no objection, then the old man will explain the rules, and the old man will ask the question. Then he raised his hand slightly, and a trace of green smoke rose in the hall.

The director groaned slightly, and then opened his mouth and said: "Today coincides with the selection of talents, I have to see many colleagues and future generations, the old man is not, a few questions to test the juniors, this time do not make any plus points, if someone chants a good sentence, you can also communicate, and make progress together." First of all, the first question is for the next sentence, and the last sentence is, "The old man paused for a moment before he continued: "The mountain path is deep and the swallow is fine, please answer." ”

Wang Gongzi took a step forward neatly, a smug smile appeared on his fair face, and no one disobeyed him since he was a child: "Taoyuan is beautiful and has a clear voice." As soon as this sentence came out, the onlookers shook their heads and thinkers, and some nodded their heads to praise, listening to the movement next to them, Wang Gongzi felt fluttering at the moment, just like when he was thirteen years old, he felt like entering Yichun Courtyard for the first time.

"Quack, Brother Wang's sentence is wonderful, wonderful!" Duck Gong squeezed into the crowd and shouted with a big mouth, and several people next to him also echoed. A little brother quietly poked the boss and asked softly: "Boss, what's so wonderful?" The duck folded the fan in his hand, shook his head and said: "Look, there are birds in the last sentence, and there are birds in the next sentence, and the birds echo each other, isn't it wonderful?"

As soon as these words came out, others burst into laughter, and a more playful voice came from the depths of the crowd: "Gaga, Brother Tai really has a unique opinion, and he is losing, haha." The little brother also smiled, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Boss, they praise you!"

The duck's voice was dark, and he shook his head in a chic manner, although there was no hair hanging down on his forehead, and the folding fan in his hand "snapped": "Of course, you learn more..."

Mu Chuan glanced at Wang Gongzi, the latter's head was slightly raised, and the words "I am about to admit defeat" were written on his smiling face, Mu Chuan shook his head, and then said: "The next sentence of the student is, the willow green orioles in the riverbed are singing. ”

Mu Chuan's sentence can be regarded as attracting applause from the audience, and the gray-robed director secretly praised in his heart, wanting to come to this selection, there are many talents.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chuan could also come up, Wang Gongzi's face turned a little blue, and he said mockingly: "There are a lot of dogs on the street today, you should have stepped on dog shit when you went out, right?" After speaking, there was another burst of flattery around him, and the duck cock laughed arrogantly. The gray-robed director who listened frowned, his senses for this gentleman were extremely poor, and the onlookers felt that this prince was a little arrogant, not to mention the young man with strong blood opposite him.

Mu Chuan's face was cold, the clay figure was still angry, and the prince was willing to be the tip of the needle, and he Mu Chuan said that he would have to be Mai Mang. At the moment, he replied coldly: "Yes, there are a lot of dogs today, and they still everywhere, in our village, these dogs have long been beaten to death with sticks." As soon as these words came out, the shabby-dressed students around them all nodded secretly, after all, Mu Chuan still belonged to the same camp as them, and this wave was one for one, and there was no loss.

"You!" Wang Gongzi shouted angrily, his fists were clenched, his face was gloomy, even his father had never said anything cruel to him, not to mention these mud legs from the countryside, looking at the young man who was about the same height as him opposite, Wang Hao was a little angry.

The cigarette curled, and the red dot stopped halfway there. The four eyes were facing each other, and the faint smoke that permeated the air made Wang Gongzi's face look a little hideous.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little delicate, and many people had quietly retreated. But an old shout broke the deadlock: "Silence! What is the system of noise here!" The gray-robed director swept his eyes over the incense, paused and said: "The next question, with the night moon as the background, compose a poem, and the time is half a pillar of incense." As soon as the new question came out, many people on the scene joined the contemplative team, after all, this is the question of the director, God knows if there will be a similar exam in a few days, if the blind is right, this single-plank bridge with thousands of troops can squeeze out many people. The-for-tat duo no longer wasted time looking at each other, and they both lowered their heads and thought.

The blue-blue smoke dances enchantingly, and the dark red incense flickers brightly and flickering.

"When the time comes, can you two do it?" The gray-robed director's words pulled back the thoughts of the people in the audience, and the incense head was completely dimmed when the director's voice fell.

"Hey, Brother Luo, are you done?"

"It's just a sentence away from being a brother, this time is a bit short, I don't know who can do it..."

"I'd make a song, but it's neat, so I don't want to say it. ”

"Bang" The familiar sound of folding a fan, the duck shook his head and opened his mouth: "I am not talented, but I also made a song." This sentence made the gray-robed director look sideways, and the younger brothers around him hurriedly said: "Boss, say it and let me look at it." The duck squinted his eyes, shook off the folding fan, shook his head and made a gesture before he spoke: "When it is dark, it is night, and when it is bright, it is the moon." It's easy to do things when it's dark, let's go to Gentle Township together!"

Laughter sounded in the field again, Wang Gongzi had a headache, why didn't he realize that this thing was so mentally retarded before, the gray robe director shook his head, it was really a gentleman, but there was one thing to say, after he interrupted the previous tense atmosphere a little soothed, there were not a few drops of ink, and the bad water was still half a belly.

Wang Gongzi glared at the duck and said hatefully, "You shut up." In a blink of an eye, he faced Mu Chuan: "Tu Baozi, I spoke first in the last question, so this time it's up to you." ”

Mu Chuan grinned, like a morning breeze. "Then listen up. He bowed to the gray-robed superintendent and said, "Lord Superintendent, the poems written by the students are, the Yiren flute is blown at night, and who interprets the words and who is sad." Sorrowful into the running water weeping softly, falling flowers with tears and cold and clear. ”

"Good! Hearing the poems made by Mu Chuan, many young people and girls stroked their palms and admired, and Wang Gongzi's face was once again cloudy, staring at Mu Chuan, eager to throw him into the wolf den of the blue-eyed wolf in his house.

"Brother Wang, you can't lose to him, if you can't, take my song and use it. The voice of the duck male voice passed through Wang Gongzi's mind strongly, which made his eyes a little black. Turning his head, his red eyes stared at the duck cock's voice: "I said, I'll shut you up!" The duck cock shrank his head, he didn't have a literary talent, but he was not stupid, at this time, to touch Wang Hao's moldy head This matter is slowed down, and he has to drink a pot. Wang Hao took a deep breath and slowly said to Mu Chuan: "Although you do have two brushes, I can't lose to you, listen to the poems written by this son, the darker moonlight is half a family, and the Beidou is dry and the Nandou is oblique." Tonight I know the warm colors of spring, and the sound of insects is new through the green curtain. ”

Mu Chuan shrugged and did not answer. The onlookers once again enthusiastically discussed, no matter what, the level of these two people is still much higher than them, and some people with low self-esteem have retreated, thinking about whether to take the test or not. The gray robe director made a slight comparison in his heart, then stroked his beard and smiled: "You two have commendable understanding, excellent literary talents, it can be counted as a draw, this matter is over like this, how?" Needless to say, this gray robe director is a love for talent, and plans to be a peacemaker, the qualifications of the two teenagers can be regarded as one in a hundred, and the two may be officials in the same dynasty in the future.

Although Mu Chuan was very angry at what Wang Gongzi said before, he was peaceful and didn't want to settle a grudge in the town because it was just a misunderstanding, but just now I vaguely heard that this guy was the only son of the richest man in the town. After the exchange of thoughts, Mu Chuan smiled and said, "The students obey the arrangements of the adults. The gray-robed director turned to look at Wang Gongzi, and his meaning was self-evident.

Wang Gongzi's face changed red and white, and his breathing was rapid a few times, but after a while, his chest slowly calmed down.

"Tu Baozi, you do have some ability, but the country dog is the country dog, do you think you can be on an equal footing with the tigers of the mountains and forests? ”

"You and I must have a winner today! You and I will each have a question, do you dare or not!?"

"This young man in sackcloth is gentle by nature, humble and polite, but this young man in brocade has an excess of sharpness, if the two have different political views in the future..."The gray-robed director thought secretly in his heart.

Looking at the aggressive Wang Hao, the gentleness of the young man was gone, and he just wanted this domineering noble son to bow his head and admit his mistakes!

"Why don't you dare!"

Outside the official mansion, in the dark, there was a faint hoarse conversation.

"Senior brother, so perceptive. ”

"Well, I just don't know how the seedlings are. ”

An ancient tree, with entwined branches, looking up from under the tree, the turquoise umbrella cover covers the world. Under the tree sat an old man, with a thin face and a green shirt, which seemed to blend in with the ancient tree.

raised his eyelids slightly, and laughed softly: "Interesting." ”

I closed my eyes again, and all I could do was rustle the leaves.
