In the gazebo of the forest garden.

A group of scholars gathered, and from time to time there were other scholars passing by who were attracted by the situation here and came to stop and take a look.

As early as the book here, I knew that nothing special happened here, but two scholars were fighting in Wendou.

Literary fights between scholars are a common thing, even if they are friends, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is still an elegant thing, and the occasional exquisite article is also worth congratulating each other.

Just like among the people, drinking and chatting, and discussing things will also be arguing.

It's just that the battle between Li Xiuyuan and Zhu Erdan is not as simple as a simple literary fight, but with strong personal grudges.

Although Li Xiuyuan is not interested in the fight between scholars, how can he admit it if others have bullied him?

The clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention Zhu Erdan.

However, after the commotion here started, even Fu Tianqiu, who had entered Lin Yuan one after another, and Marquis Li, had already attracted officials from all over the city.

"Hey, why are all the scholars gathered here, is there something going on?" asked an official curiously.

Fu Tianqiu glanced up, but he saw the figure of Li Xiuyuan in the crowd, his expression moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "I'm afraid that there is some contradiction between scholars, and it is being solved by the method of Wendou." ”

Li Xiuyuan's presence shows that it is impossible for anyone to use force.

Since no one has used force, then they can only use their mouths.

"I see, it's rare to have such a grand occasion before this cultural conference has even begun. Hou Ye Li stroked his beard and smiled, showing a bit of self-satisfaction on his face.

"If it's a literary fight, it must be a terrible literary fight, ladies and gentlemen, please see, those scholars are slapping their palms and praising it, it can be seen that the two scholars in the literary fight can already convince others, the scholars invited this time are all talents in the city, can there be such a literary person, is it not nameless and surnameless, isn't it the top of the list Ning Caichen among them?" said an official named Song Yuan next to him.

Fu Tianqiu was a little interested and said: "Since it is an elegant matter, why don't you go and take a look? ”

"Since Master Fu is here to get excited, then Ben Hou will accompany Master Fu to take a look. Li Houye said.

The two most powerful people nodded, how could the other officials refuse, so they naturally accompanied them happily.

But behind this crowd, there were some female dependents.

They are all young ladies from official eunuchs, bringing them to see the world.

And among a group of young ladies, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi are hidden.

"Sister, do you hear that? That voice is Li Xiuyuan's voice, he really came, sister, you have to thank me well, if it wasn't for me coming to threaten him, he wouldn't have come to this meeting this time." Fu Yuechi snorted lightly and said a little proudly.

Fu Qingfeng's face was slightly red and said: "I asked you to invite Li Gongzi to participate in the literary meeting, but you threatened him, saying that he was rude to you, Li Gongzi is already generous if he is not angry, next time you can't talk nonsense, if this matter spreads, whether it is true or not, Li Gongzi's reputation will be ruined, and your innocence will be gone." After speaking, he glanced at it again, and blamed him a little.

If there is a scandal of the second lady of the indecent military department in Shilin, she will be able to win the top prize in the future, and she will also be ranked in the ranks of Jinshi because of her poor conduct, and she is not qualified to rank in the top three.

Not to mention entering the court as an official in the future.

"I know, I know, sister, what are you worried about, anyway, only I know about this matter, he knows, as long as he doesn't say it, how can this matter get out. Fu Yuechi grinned.

"Yes, Brother Li does have extraordinary ability, so I admire it very much, but I don't know how Brother Li's poems are, such a beautiful day, a grand event in the literary world, why don't Li Gongzi leave a piece of poetry that suits the occasion, so that I can wait for me to pass on the praise? At this moment, in the pavilion, Zhu Erdan's thief heart is not dead, and he wants to make things difficult for Li Xiuyuan.

"Yes, Brother Li is very talented, presumably the poems are better, I don't know if there are good poems to write today? If there is, wouldn't it be beautiful to leave one?" a reader echoed.

How could Li Xiuyuan still be entangled with Zhu Erdan, he postponed and said, "My poems are not worth mentioning, let alone leaving poems to sing, just now the pair was just a pastime and entertainment, and now that the matter is over, I should leave, how can I covet the good name of the pair made by others?"

He seems to be soft, but in fact, he is also saying Zhu Erdan, don't be greedy for good fame, it's almost enough.

Zhu Erdan's face moved slightly, but it was not good to force Li Xiuyuan, otherwise he would be aggressive.

It was indeed a pity that he did not defeat Li Xiuyuan head-on just now.

"Hehe, Li Xiuyuan, you will also be modest, saying that your poems are not worth mentioning? The old man looks at it otherwise, your poems have the capital to be handed down, today's literary event, if you don't leave poems and chapters, wouldn't it seem stingy?" At this time, a laugh sounded, but I saw a middle-aged man with a tall body and a stern face striding over.

It turned out to be Fu Tianqiu, the squire of the military department.

accompanied by the Hou Mansion Li Houye, as well as several Beijing officials who traveled with him, as well as local officials.

"I met Master Fu in my later life, I met Master Li, and I met my parents. ”

The scholars were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly bowed their hands

Li Xiuyuan also gave a salute to show respect.

Fu Tianqiu said with a smile: "There are no officials at today's literary meeting, only a group of scholars, there is no need to be so polite, please be exempt." ”

"Li Xiuyuan, what's the matter? Could it be that the old man doesn't give face, and he refuses to leave a single poem?"

Fu Tianqiu didn't know why he wanted Li Xiuyuan to compose a poem on the spot, which made the corners of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitch slightly.

This Fu Tianqiu is here to pit himself, right?

I pitted myself in the yamen that day, and this time I came again.

How can the poems in this literary meeting be scribbled casually, if they are well written, they will naturally be famous, but they will also be burdened by fame, and he doesn't want to be visited by all the scholars in the city all day long.

If the writing is not good, it will naturally be ugly and ridiculed.

Li Xiuyuan didn't want to be famous, and he didn't want to be ridiculed, after all, fame was still useful to him, and it would be useful to be an official and the imperial examination in the future.

But Fu Tianqiu said this, and he was a little praised for being a little difficult to ride a tiger.

"Since Master Fu has said so, how can it be unreasonable for that night to follow. Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

It seems that he has to turn into a copyist again.

But who would have thought, Fu Tianqiu pointed to this forest garden road again, "Let's take the beautiful scenery of this forest garden as the theme." ”

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly, he felt that this Fu Tianqiu was deliberately making things difficult for himself?

Have you sinned against him?

It looks like it is clear that you want to compose poems on the spot, which is not easy, you have to know that you are still a talent, if it is a jinshi, it is not difficult, no matter what the reputation of the jinshi is, you can always spit out a few poems when you open your mouth, and it is unknown whether it is good or bad.

At the same time that Li Xiuyuan responded, he couldn't help but glance at it,

I saw Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi in the crowd not far away.

At this time, Fu Yuechi looked at himself with a little apology, as if he had already known that he would be troubled today.

"I see, it should be for the sake of that night. Immediately, Li Xiuyuan was stunned.

Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi didn't return for a night in their house that day, and they were found out afterwards, so today Fu Tianqiu took advantage of the problem and deliberately punished himself.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an official, and the whole person is really powerful.

In other words, it was not he who asked Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi to come to the house that day, it was the two of them who broke in.

Looking at Fu Tianqiu's smiling face, Li Xiuyuan felt that if he went to the capital in the future, he would definitely follow what Li Linfu said, pit him and let him lose his official position and go into hiding.

"It can't be famous, but it also needs to be appropriate, and it can't be too bad, this article is not easy to copy. Li Xiuyuan sighed slightly in his heart.

Zhu Erdan, who was next to him, couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw Li Xiuyuan's frowning and pondering appearance: "Write poetry?" Do you think you are Cao Zijian, seven steps into poetry, so many adults are staring, you are afraid that you can't even write half a sentence of poetry, this time your face is embarrassed, God really helps me, I didn't expect the squire of the military department to also see you unhappy and deliberately make things difficult for you." ”

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's deflated appearance, he only felt happy and comfortable in his heart.

"Why, can't you write it?"

Fu Tianqiu looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile.

This Li Xiuyuan is arrogant, his two daughters stayed in his house for a night and did not come to ask for guilt, apologize, and he will be suppressed and suppressed today.

Li Xiuyuan sighed, there was no choice but to face the difficulties, and immediately he turned around and walked to the stone table to pick up the pen and ink, and began to write.

It's not me who did it, I was forced by you.
