Chapter 37: The Immortals (I)
On the painting boat, more than a dozen scholars waited on the railing, and the big white goose suddenly said indignantly: "That guy is here." ”
A small boat was heading towards them, and at the head of the boat stood a young man with a face like white jade and a superior temperament.
"It is worthy of being the first genius in Jiangnan," the president of Jiangnan Xingshe, Zhong Wuwu, who has the reputation of a talented man with three worries, praised, although he is also a famous beautiful man, but compared with the two, he suddenly fell behind.
"It's just a person who sells his reputation and reputation," the president of Yuntian Club said unconvinced, "Just one poem, it is falsely spread, how can a poet be so easy to be." ”
The big white goose thinks so.
"Anyway, this person is the last Xie Yuan after all," Hua Nanfeng said with a smile.
"I'll wait to meet you. ”
Kou Li and the others showed the invitation, boarded the boat, and saw that all they saw were big sleeves fluttering, green clothes and shirts, revealing a smiling atmosphere.
"There are also a lot of young girls," Sesame Boy whispered, and sure enough, it was obvious that there were several white-faced jade-necked figures with a little powder, among them, there were both Qing officials from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and the children of high-ranking officials and nobles.
As soon as Kou Li arrived, countless eyes suddenly shot over, there was scrutiny, curiosity, and admiration, after all, he was a famous genius in history, such as Tang Bohu, Li Taibai, Su Dongpo, and Liu Sanchang, that was also after the fame was blocked, and only then began to place his affection on the landscape, drunk and dreamed of death, and there were very few people who automatically gave up their fame.
This is also the reason why Kou Li only left one poem and was praised as the first talent in Jiangnan, the key is no longer poetry, but because the style is too high.
Every reader has a secondary two fantasy in their hearts, and Kou Li just turns it into reality.
"Is that him, is he Kou Xianren?" In another painting boat not far away, there are two beauties, one big and one small, the big beauty has black oily hair, a nest of red silk rope, tall and tall, more handsome than men, prettier than women, and her eyes are as warm as water, and she does not make waves at all.
"Hehe, sister, your enemy is here," the little beauty combed her two balls, her little eyes were smart, and she suddenly said slyly.
The big beauty was dumbfounded, "Enemy, let's count it out." ”
"Brother Kou, it's been a long time," Hua Nanfeng arched.
"Brother Hua, Brother White Goose, meet again," Kou Li chuckled.
"My colleagues in the Poetry Society borrowed the scenery of the sea and the sky to write a few poems, since Kou Xianren is new here, can there be a new work to offer?"
For a while, everyone's attention was on Kou Li, wanting to see the masterpiece of this Kou Immortal after his return.
Even the sesame boy clenched his hands, he was so enthusiastic to help Kou Li, naturally not only for the friendship of friends, but also a kind of investment, if Kou Li is really talented, sweeping the poetry club, he, who is a friend, can naturally become famous.
The big and small beauties also looked at each other curiously, wanting to see what amazing works came from the mouth of the poet.
"Poetry, there is no sigh for the time being," Kou Li said suddenly.
"Huh, hey, hey?"
Everyone was in an uproar, even if the other party really didn't live up to his name, he should have ghostwritten a few songs before coming, how could he not have it in the first place?
Next, no matter how the people in these poetry societies squeezed, seduced, and provoked, and how Sesame Boy looked at him, Kou Li just said two words - no, which made everyone's eyes quickly turn to suspicion, disdain, and contempt.
"Brother Kou, what's going on, this is different from what we said before, if it goes on like this, how to hold the beauty," Sesame Gongzi said eagerly, "According to my inquiry, the granddaughter of Master Feng, Feng Sanniang must be somewhere here, if Brother Kou doesn't show his talent, how can he hold the beauty!"
That's right, this is the biggest secret in this township examination in the mouth of Sesame Gongzi, the granddaughter of Feng Lao, the former academic examiner, and the righteous daughter of Xu Hanlin, the current scientific examiner, has also come to Jiangning Mansion with her father, as long as Kou Li can hook up with each other, then it will be easy to say.
For the sake of his granddaughter, Feng Lao naturally wants to protect the future of this grandson-in-law, and Xu Hanlin is the same.
This is the legendary beautiful man's trick!
After all, Brother Kou is a person who can eat with his face.
It's just that Feng Sanniang is also a well-known talented woman, Brother Kou, you really may not be able to succeed just by brushing your face!!
"Mr. Xu is here, as well as Mr. Huada, Mr. Er, and Lu Daru!"
As soon as the words fell, the students and scholars suddenly rushed in, after all, in this poetry meeting, these bosses and Confucians are the protagonists, and if they learn and excel, in the final analysis, who wants to be a poet and poet who has been unbearable all his life.
In just a moment, only a fallen leaf fluttered down beside Kou Li and the others.
"Let's go in too," Kori chuckled, unimpressed.
"It can only be like this," Sesame Boy said dejectedly, there is no masterpiece, the name of this Kou Immortal, I am afraid that it will not be guaranteed after this poetry meeting.
Entering the boat, the spacious space was gathered at the moment, and there was no place for half of it, and the two of them could only sit at the very edge.
The three Confucians sitting on the main seat, led by a middle-aged man with a tall crown and a thin yellow complexion, a scholar with two beards and fish bubble eyes on the left hand, and a very simple image of Confucianism on the right, with a straight body and a serious appearance.
These three people are Xu Hanlin, Mr. Huada, and Mr. Er, of which Mr. Huada is the head of Sanhua Academy and the father of South China Peak, and Mr. Er is a famous romantic genius in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is the best at poetry and songs.
After another while, Lu Daru also came with a book, facing the scholars, sitting on the ground, most of the talents showed a look of reverence.
"The wise man is happy with the mountain, the benevolent person is happy with the water, between the mountains and rivers, there is a big article, this is a small word and a big righteousness is also ......"
Unexpectedly, Lu Daru gave up poetry and poetry at the beginning, but he talked about the righteousness of the scriptures, but the people in the audience listened very seriously.
The examinee must not be careless, nor too concerned, so he uses the poetry club to test everyone.
Sure enough, these readers were all very prepared, and when they talked about the collection of scriptures, the first is the Tao, and the argument is unparalleled, who knows the content related to the township test, it is between these words.
Later, even Mr. Huada and Mr. Er were involved, only Xu Hanlin kept silent and had a serious face, after all, he was the chief examiner, and if he interjected a little, he would be associated with all kinds of people.
"Brother Kou—" Sesame Boy stopped talking.
Kou Li waved his hand and watched the debate with interest, with no intention of interjecting, in fact, he had no intention of playing according to the routine at all.
Who is he? He is a spokesman in the six southeastern provinces, a martial artist, an officialdom, a pirate, and even an overseas bigwig, and on the surface he may not be as invincible as Yunnan and Western Dou, and he may not listen to the prestige and domineering of the propaganda, but the forces in the secret are not weaker than the other party, how can he be like an ordinary scholar to invite fame.
He's here to negotiate.
The generals lead the army and the civilian officials govern the country, how can the above people not know their true identities, even if they don't pay special attention, the above glances will occasionally sweep inadvertently.
"Alright, since it's a poetry club, my old fellow won't be annoying anymore, everyone, let's get started. ”
Lu Daru ended with this sentence, and there was a sudden 'dare' around him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since we are waiting on the Jinling River, we will take the river as the theme, how about the poem?" Mr. Huada said with a smile.
"In this case, you're welcome below, a pool of autumn water soaks the bright moon, and the waves of gold scales rise layer by layer......"
The scene was extremely lively for a while, some poets showed their talents, and many people secretly looked at Kou Li and saw that he didn't make any moves, so they breathed a sigh of relief, or showed a look of contempt.
The sesame boy's eyes were about to blink, but Kou Li still didn't move, could it be that this guy really didn't have real talent?
The second gentleman on the main seat noticed this scene, his eyes turned around, showing a playful expression, and suddenly he said, "Where is the Kou Immortal?"
Kou Li paused, finally got up, and said calmly in the eyes of everyone watching: "Kou Mou is here, and I have seen Xu Hanlin and several gentlemen." ”
"Oh, why don't you call Xu Hanlin Mr.," Mr. Two said curiously.
"The late teacher is Feng Lao Hanlin, and it just so happens that Xu Hanlin is Mr. Feng's favorite apprentice, so the late student should actually call Xu Hanlin a senior brother. ”
