Chapter 193: Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies, there is no good feast
(There should be another chapter later!)
Chen Sanlang woke up like a dream, looked around, and found that he was standing in the corridor of the side hall in a daze, Xu Jun walked over, his face was full of concern;
"San Lang, what are you doing here? I called a lot just now, but I didn't see you responding!
Xu Jun's big eyes sparkled, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Chen Sanlang recalled the reason for the incident and gradually understood: illusions are all illusions...... No, at the invitation of the Dragon King, I went to the Dragon Palace to feast and drink, and I remember it vividly, and I can't tell the truth from the fake at all, is it also false?
Also, at the last moment, I saw Xu Nianniang who was trapped in the water gate......
Thinking of this, he hurried out, came to the window, and looked into the distance. But seeing the reeds all over the sky, the blue waves are vast, you can't see the edge, and occasionally you can see birds flying, but the distance is too far, a little bit, sesame. From a distance, I saw a rough idea, what was with the water gate and the like, all of them were vast and there was no shadow.
Chen Sanlang couldn't help but sigh: Even if everything is true, but the cave is huge, how to find people?
If the "Haoran Silk Book" has not been suppressed by the golden dragon qi, it can still display the "True Dragon Water Technique", or there is some hope. But now, without the source of silk books, there is no place for magic, and it is almost impossible to rely on taking a boat out of the lake.
As the saying goes, "rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water", in the Dongting area, there are countless fishermen, and there is no shortage of boats. But even the oldest and most experienced fishermen, their knowledge of Dongting Lake is only the tip of the iceberg. As for the dragon monarchs, they are even more legendary, and there is no way to find them.
"Saburo. What the hell is going on?"
Xu Jun realized that the situation was not right.
Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "I was distracted just now, as if I had seen Long Jun." ”
For Xu Nianniang's matter. decided to hide it for the time being, mainly because Xu Jun was worried about his father's safety. One is not good, and he went out of the lake directly. As I saw before, Xu Nianniang's sword light is peerless, rushing left and right, and there may not be no possibility of relying on personal ability to break through the level.
If you are alone, you dare to break into Dragon City, tsk, where is this prospective father-in-law sacred?
"Really?"
Xu Jun's eyes lit up, and she had been famous for Long Jun for a long time. Have a strong sense of curiosity.
Chen Sanlang touched his nose: "Actually, I don't know if it's true or not, it's like a dream." In the dream, the Dragon King sent a messenger to invite me to drink ......"
I told the ins and outs, the main context.
Xu Jun listened very attentively.
Ye Rongtong also came over, and said in disbelief: "Daoyuan, what you said is mysterious." However, such a statement has happened throughout the ages. ”
"The dragon king dreamed and went to the Dragon Palace". This theory has indeed existed since ancient times, and it is according to the saying that it has been continuously spread and propagated since then, and eventually became a legend. Individual. It was also adapted into a novel by literati and published for sale. The content is surprisingly similar. However, after artistic processing. The protagonist often marries a dragon girl and is happy. Climb up the ladder.
"Hey, Saburo. Why don't you take a dragon girl home?"
Xu Jun's words were slightly sour.
Chen Sanlang coughed dryly: "Jun'er, don't you still understand my mind?"
Xu Jun clasped his hands on his chest and glanced at him: "I don't understand." ”
Fortunately, Ye Rongtong on the side saw that the momentum was not right, so he interjected in time to stagger the topic: "Daoyuan, you said that you wrote a "Story of Yueyang Tower", come and listen to it...... No, why don't you just inscribe it upstairs. ”
The shadow wall on the upper floor of Yueyang is available for literati to leave ink. Of course, if the level is too poor, it will be exempted, and it will save people from embarrassment. And it can be seen that these ink must be managed by someone and cleaned up a batch from time to time, so for thousands of years, there are not many poems that can be left on the wall now. Those who are not of sufficient level have been painted away, leaving no traces.
"Who is Chen Daoyuan, the champion of today's department?"
Suddenly, there was a shout, very noisy.
But when I saw a large group of people, all dressed as Confucian scholars, all holding folding fans in their hands, green shirts and scarves, old and young, running upstairs with hugs and backs.
If it weren't for the fact that they all looked like Sven, I would have thought that they would be gangsters who came to fight.
Chen Sanlang and Ye Rongtong looked at each other, unclear about the situation.
"Brother Daoyuan, don't come unharmed!"
One of them recognized Chen Sanlang and appeared, and Shi Shiran bowed his hand.
Chen Sanlang looked at him, he was indeed a little familiar, he should be the same person who would take the exam, or he could be the same Jinshi - there were too many people, hundreds, and Chen Sanlang was unsociable when he was in the capital, and he didn't know many people.
Ye Rongtong recognized the other party and shouted, "Zhang Hengshang, why are you?
That Zhang Hengshang coughed dryly: "Brother Ye, that's the case." Everyone heard that the champion of the current branch returned to his hometown and passed through Dongting, so he specially set up a banquet here and invited Brother Chen to drink. ”
came to the banquet again, Chen Sanlang had a black face when he arrived.
Ye Rongtong smiled, and his heart brightened: "I'm afraid that there will be no good feast, there will be no good feast." ”
One of the doorways, you don't need to say it, you can guess a rough idea.
The literati are light, belonging to a deep-rooted consciousness inheritance, the so-called "literature has no first", but they like to rank seniority the most, and rank them first. It will be first in terms of geography and then in genre units. There are many genres in the literary world, and they are all kinds of and very exclusive.
To tell the truth, the literary world is pretentious, but there are no fewer dirty things in it than in other industries. I remember that in Jing County, Chen Sanlang participated in a boating poetry meeting, and he indirectly made a scene. Later, at the Nanyang Academy, the situation was similar...... When he arrived in the capital, he also went to participate in the Wendou with Ye Rongtong......
The problem is that the troubled times are about to arise and the situation is difficult, but the literati are still obsessed with this way, which is meaningless in Chen Sanlang's view.
The pen and ink are prosperous, malaise has become a trend, do not seek to share worries for the country, ask for the people's lives, what is the benefit of the world?
Therefore, along the way, Chen Sanlang is exempt if he can be avoided, and he can avoid it. Needless to say when I was in the capital, after the song "Water Tune Song Head", I didn't know how many people I wanted to visit and learn from him, and most of them were pushed by him. It's good now, the top student in the exam, the clothes are back to the hometown, and the people are directly blocked on the Yueyang Tower halfway, and it is estimated that Chen Sanlang will come here to travel, so he set up a banquet and waited.
This is the means of cultural fighting, not like a martial artist, who will start ping pong when they meet, and see the height of their fists. Wendou is to push the cup and change the lamp, and then recite poems and lyrics, which is very elegant.
Chen Sanlang hated this kind of elegance, and when the soldiers were raised, the vase was broken, and the pen and ink were bloody, he saw the real chapter.
Ye Rongtong also knew Chen Sanlang's temperament, but in the capital, it was the exam that mattered, and now that he has achieved fame, or there will be a change, he smiled and said: "Daoyuan, what do you think?"
"Don't go!"
Chen Sanlang refused neatly, the Dragon Palace was in a dream, and he was disturbed, and he was worried in his heart, where was there such leisure and leisure, to push the cup and change the lamp with others, and dance to make ink?
Someone in the crowd sneered in a weird way: "Do you not want to go, or do you dare not go?"
Today's imperial examination, the gold list has been passed down early, and those who are on the list have achieved the milestone of "no one asks about the cold window for ten years, and once they become famous and known to the world". However, there has always been controversy over the years, and the controversy is even greater. The gossip that Chen Sanlang was hand-picked as the champion was flying all over the sky, causing a lot of criticism in Shilin. Among them, there should also be some ill-intentioned promoters, anyway, when the file of ten people was set up, Chen Sanlang was temporarily replaced, and one person was squeezed down, how could he be willing to be willing to do it?
Speaking of the other nine people, their chances of becoming first-class jinshi are almost the same. Unexpectedly, Chen Sanlang killed in the air, and the blind people saw that it was the emperor's favor that they received such treatment, which is equivalent to booking the "champion", so why don't these people have some ideas in their hearts?
The emperor's move was actually not in line with the rules, and he was willful. And rules, for many scholars, are sacred and inoffensive, and they are the golden rule. It's not good for them to denounce the emperor directly, but it's no problem to find Chen Sanlang.
They came to weigh the "two catties" of the new champion to see if it lived up to the name, there was no problem.
There is no doubt that Dongting Yueyang Tower will be a very ideal location.
So, when everyone heard Chen Sanlang say that he would not go to the banquet and not give face, they were immediately dissatisfied, and they made a noise, and even directly accused Chen Sanlang of "unprepared etiquette and insulting Sven". (To be continued......)
