Although it is dark around the Daming Lake in Jinan City, it is still brightly lit and the crowd is very lively.

It turns out that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jinan City is holding the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation poetry meeting on the shore of Daming Lake, so although it is dark, but the people in the whole Jinan City, especially the readers, have come to Daming Lake to join in the fun.

At this time, Du Buyi and the other four had already walked to a high platform by the lake.

I saw an official standing in the middle of the high platform and speaking to the crowd below:

"Everyone should know this official, this official is Liu Yuzhong, the prefect of Jinan, and this official is here to wish all the people of Jinan Fuzhong a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a family reunion!"

At this time, there were bursts of cheers from the audience.

I only heard the prefect Liu Yuzhong continue:

"Tonight is also the grandest Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation poetry meeting in our Jinan City, in fact, this is also a reward activity for our scholars and students in Jinan City, let the examiner explain the rules to you!"

At this time, a group of officers and soldiers quickly walked out of the side, and then signaled the people to retreat, revealing a large empty space in front of the stage.

Then an old man came up to the stage, and when Zhu Houxi saw this person, he was stunned, isn't this the former assistant Fei Hong, who resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown? Didn't he resign from his hometown in Jiangxi to recuperate? How could he come to Jinan to be an examiner?

Zhu Houxi secretly thought at this time, this Fei Hong actually dared to deceive me, I must order him to return to the court.

At this time, there were many scholars who knew Fei Hong in the audience, so they waved to Fei Hong one after another.

At this time, I only heard Fei Hong say to the crowd:

"The old man is old and should have recuperated at home, but he was invited by his friends, and it was inconvenient to retreat, so he had to travel a long distance from Jiangxi to this Jinan Mansion, and today's old man is today's chief examiner. ”

Then he slowed down and continued:

"Today's topic is, to admire the moon as the theme of the poem, the first three people who perform well will receive a rich reward provided by Jinan Mansion, the first place will receive 500 taels of gold, 50 horses of silk: the second place can get 2,000 taels of silver: the third prize of silver 500 taels, these are provided by the rich businessmen of Jinan Prefecture, I hope you don't cheat, the prefect is here, will be severely punished!"

At this time, the people below shouted:

"I'm going to participate, I'm going to participate!"

At this time, ten scholars came from behind the officers and soldiers, dressed as boys, and then stood under the stage.

The crowd below was very puzzled when they saw this, and a black-faced scholar shouted at Fei Hong on the stage with an indignant expression:

"Could it be that the competition you hold is only for rich sons to participate, so that we poor scholars can come over as spectators?"

At this time, Fei Hong said again:

"Everyone, don't be impatient, these sons are all students of Guozijian with excellent academic performance, and they are here to judge you!"

The black-faced scholar said loudly:

"I see, that's my misunderstanding, Mr. Fei!"

Fei Hong said to the scholar:

"In that case, let's ask this student to come on stage first to compose a song, I wonder if this student is willing to participate?"

black-faced scholar says:

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fei!"

Then he came to the stage and composed a song:

Chang'e on the moon accompanies my heart,

Daming Lake on the shore of Jishui:

Wu Gang felled trees for another year,

The fairy is still a bystander.

At this time, Fei Hong said:

"That's a good verse!"

Then the ten national prisoners in the audience began to comment, and finally gave Xu Si a middle-to-upper evaluation after discussion.

At this time, the people in the audience saw that Xu Si's poems were good, and they only got a middle and upper comment, so many people began to retreat and did not dare to go on stage to make poems.

Until the end, no one dared to compose poetry on stage.

At this time, Fei Hong asked again:

"Could it be that we have such a big Jinan Mansion, and there is no really talented scholar?"

On the side, Du did not forget to wipe a little dust on his face when he saw this, after all, he was afraid that Fei Hong would recognize him, which was not suitable, so he was going to go up and try it, but he didn't expect Li Fuxing to have already come to the stage.

After Li Fuxing came to power, he read:

Moon-watching scenery on the shore of Daming Lake,

The deceased at the foot of Mount Tai:

Chang'e fairy who doesn't love,

How can there be no land in the Moon Palace!

At this time, Fei Hong looked at Li Fuxing, who seemed to be a little familiar, but forgot who it was, so he asked:

"I don't know what this student's name is?"

Li Fuxing thought for a moment and replied:

"In the lower Li water, a poor student is just a poor student!"

At this time, Fei Hong said to several Guozi prisoners in the audience:

"Let's comment!"

Then the prisoners of the country discussed it and gave Li Fuxing a middle and upper comment, and Li Fuxing smiled and stepped down.

At this time, Fei Hong asked again:

"Anyone else coming?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhu Houxi actually smeared some dust on his face and walked on stage.

This Fei Hong sees Zhu Houyu every day in the court, and when he saw Zhu Houyu coming to power, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then immediately asked:

"This student is very similar to the old man!"

Zhu Houxi deliberately pretended to have a hoarse voice, and replied:

"There are so many similar people in the world, under the surname Zhu Minger, Mr. Fei, you think too much!"

Then he quietly made a gesture to Fei Hong, Fei Hong naturally understood, so he had to pretend to be calm, in fact, Fei Hong was uneasy in his heart, and only heard Fei Hong cover his chest and say:

"Then please compose a poem, Childe!"

Zhu Houxi read it:

The world is all clear,

The moon is fuller than the Son of Heaven:

The hearts of the people are precious,

The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky.

At this time, the Guozi supervisor listened to it, and gave Zhu Er a middle and upper evaluation.

Zhu Houyu laughed and was about to step down, when Fei Hong hurriedly said to Zhu Houxi:

"Second Master Zhu, go slowly!"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"I'm not leaving, I'm waiting for you below, Mr. Fei!"

At this time, Du did not forget to wait for Zhu Houxi to step down, and then he also came to power.

I only heard Du not forget to come directly to the stage and read:

The beauty of the moon lake,

Laughing on the red carpet:

The fairy is blessed in heaven,

The people are hungry and miserable.

After speaking, he stepped down and returned to the other three without waiting for comments.

At this time, Li Fuxing said to Zhu Houxi:

"Brother Du has always been like this, Brother Zhu still hopes to understand!"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"I'm used to it!"

At this time, Fei Hong also began to announce the end of the competition, and then began to announce the results, naturally Zhu Houxi was the first, Du did not forget the second, and Li Fuxing was the third, but it turned out that Du did not forget a few people.

It turned out that at this time, the four of them had quietly come to the red willow lane on the side of Daming Lake.

Zhu Houxi chose the largest of them, Chunxi Building, and several people entered.

After Zhu Houxi entered, he directly took off a jade gold chain from his neck and handed it to the old bustard, saying:

"Find me a few of the best girls in your Chunxi Building!"

When the old bustard saw the jade gold chain, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took it, and then said:

"I'll have to go and get it tested, wait a minute!"

Then he entered the back room, and after a while, the old bustard came back, and took two officers and soldiers with him, only to see one of the officers and soldiers holding a jade gold chain and questioning Zhu Houxi:

"You stole this chain?"

At this time, Li Fuxing was about to say:

"Bold ......!"

was stopped by Zhu Houxi.

Zhu Houxi said:

"Where did you see that I stole this chain?"

The officer and soldier held up the necklace, pointed to the words written in the necklace, and said:

"This is something from the Ouchi Imperial Palace, do you dare to say that it wasn't stolen?"

Zhu Houxi only remembered at this time, so he asked:

"And what do you want to do?"

The officer said:

"Of course, I'm going to take you to the prefect's yamen!"

Zhu Houxi had to say:

"You're so disappointed!"

Then he looked at the three people on the side, and Du did not forget to say at this time:

"This is also his duty, forget it, go to the prefect's yamen, it's nothing!"

Zhu Houxi said:

"No!"

Then at this time, Chen Wanghou on the side took out the token of the deputy capital and said to the two officers and soldiers:

"We are members of the imperial court, and you two pawns dare to hinder this official from coming here to inspect?"

The two officers and soldiers took a closer look at the deputy capital imperial history card in Chen Wanghou's hand, and quickly apologized in fright, and then ran out without looking back.

Seeing this, the old bustard returned the necklace to Zhu Houxi, and then apologized to a few people, and went to arrange the woman.

After a while, a few women wearing heavy makeup came over, gathered a few people into a large room upstairs, and then set up a banquet for a few people.

When a few people were drinking and teasing the woman on the side, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zhu Houxi asked:

"Who's knocking?"

I only heard the voices of two people outside:

"The minister is Fei Hong, and the minister is Liu Yuzhong, the prefect of Jinan, who is here to ask the saint for peace!"

At this time, the women beside several people were instantly frightened and lost their souls.

Seeing this, Zhu Houxi shouted at the two people outside:

"Who is the saint, how can the saint have time to come here in the palace, you guys hurry up and get out of here!"

Fei Hong hurriedly replied at this time:

"The sinner knows!"

Then he pulled Liu Yuzhong aside and retreated to the outside of Chunxi Tower, which was naturally protected by officers and soldiers at this time.

At this time, Zhu Houxi said to several women:

"What are you afraid of, I'm not the emperor, those two crazy people just now who came from nowhere, we drink as usual, drink!"

Then he put his arms around the two women and began to drink.

Du Bu Bu and Li Fuxing, as well as Chen Wanghou, naturally drank with a woman in their arms.

After a while, a few people were naturally half drunk after drinking, and Zhu Houxi's body was already hot from the two women in his arms, so he directly pulled the two women to the side room.

Li Fuxing saw Zhu Houxi to enjoy after Chen Wang, so he naturally went out to find a room with the woman in his arms in his arms.

At this time, the woman on Du Bufu's body also asked Du Buyi:

"Childe, shouldn't we go to bed too?"

Du did not forget that he was naturally half drunk at this time, but he was very sober in his heart, so he pushed away the woman on his body and said:

"Sleep by yourself, I'll go for a walk!"

Then he poured a cup of tea on the table, sobered up, and went out.

I only heard the woman in the room say angrily:

"I think you're just incompetent, and you're pretending to be high!"

Du Bu didn't forget to smile secretly, after all, he didn't like these Qinglou women at all, and he just pretended to make a few friends happy.

When Du did not forget to walk downstairs to the brothel, he found that almost everyone in the entire brothel had left except for the brothel women, and when he walked to the door, there were groups of officers and soldiers outside, and Fei Hong and Liu Yuzhong seemed to be discussing something with anxious expressions.

Seeing Du Buyi coming out, Fei Hong seemed to recognize Du Buyi at this time, and quickly asked Du Buyi:

"Du Tanhua, why did you come out alone and not see the saint?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"The Holy One is enjoying it inside, so you can protect it here!"

At this time, Fei Hong said again:

"If something happens to the saint, where can I put my old life!"

Du Bu Bu smiled and said:

"Then you can go to the Holy Upper Knock and try it!"

Fei Hong says:

"How dare I, old man, according to Your Majesty's temper, I can't resist the punishment of the cane!"

Du did not forget to say:

"Then you just wait here!"

Here are a few more attendants wearing military generals' costumes coming over, so they asked Fei Hong:

"Is the Holy One in there?"

Fei Hong glanced at a few people and said:

"You are Your Majesty's personal guards, you people are really bold and leave your post without permission, where is the saint still have the face to ask the old man!"
