These two Confucian scholars were the two who were scolded by Qiu Yan in the tavern during the day, they had just gotten the invitation to the Wenhui and were going to the banquet, but they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Qiu Yan coming back.

"Brother Zhang, this Qiu Yan beat the swamp people, and was called by the Jiedu envoy, why is there nothing wrong?"

"You ask me, who am I going to ask?"

"This thing is very strange, but you and I will go to the banquet tonight, and we can meet the children of the military bigwigs, and then we can get secret news by inquiring about it. ”

"Yes, you and I now have different horizons and broader connections, so we should make good use of them. ”

While the two were still talking, they saw the servant in Tsing Yi who sent an invitation to himself and others, and walked towards Qiu Yan's room, and it didn't take long for Qiu Yan to hold an invitation and walk out of the room.

"This ......"

Seeing Qiu Yan walk in front of him, but he didn't look at himself, the two Confucian scholars reacted.

"It's so arrogant, I don't even look at you and me, and I don't take us in my eyes at all!"

"Brother Liu, don't be impatient. The Confucian surnamed Zhang calmed down, "Although I don't know what method he used to fool him through, and he also got an invitation to the literary meeting, but don't forget, who are the people at this literary meeting, without two brushes, you can only be embarrassed and become a laughing stock!"

"Yes! Yes!" "Confucianism surnamed Liu also reacted and laughed, "The great Confucian exam is more knowledgeable, and he can scare this Qiu Sheng to faint, and at this literary meeting, he has to laugh and be generous, you and I have a good show to watch today......"

..................

Wenqu Lou is an outlier in this Wuxin City.

Because it is a military station, the entire Wuxin City reveals a rough and iron-blooded battlefield atmosphere everywhere, even those taverns and inns are all simply furnished, advocating practicality, and there are not many gorgeous furnishings.

But Wenqu Building is different, several floors of attic. Nine ridges cover the roof, the bucket arch carves the tiger, the garden is arranged in front of the door, the opening is faced, luxurious, atmospheric.

This attic is said to have been designed and built by the masters and craftsmen invited from the capital by spending a lot of money on the festival, in order to make their own pearls in the palm of their own hands and experience the elegance of Da Rui's literary style.

At this moment, in front of Wenqu Building. A young man and young man named Freshly Dressed and Angry Horse was being led by the servants in the building through the open room and into the attic.

These slaves are brightly dressed, ordinary people can't afford to wear them at all, this is just a slave, after entering the room, there are young women in light veils to lead the way, a smile, seductive.

Except for teenagers and young adults. There are also a few sedan chairs in front of the door, and out of the sedan chair are all well-dressed women with skirts and skirts, and there are maids waiting beside them. At first glance, she is the young lady of the official eunuch's family.

These women are familiar with the way, and they all entered the Wenqu Building.

Not long after, the teenagers, youths, and young ladies were almost inside, and some scholars in green shirts came outside the building. Compared with the previous people, the clothes of these scholars are a little shabby, but many of them are handsome and elegant. Walking exudes indifference and self-confidence, and in terms of temperament alone, it is not lagging behind.

"Brother Gu, today's Wenhui is completely different from the previous times, not only our students are coming, but even the children of the military generals and ministers in this city will be present, it is a good time for you and me to show their talents. ”

Fang Ziyan and Gu Yanzhi walked side by side, and Fang Ziyan said with a radiant face.

Gu Yanzhi listened, nodded and said: "What Brother Fang said is reasonable, but I heard that in this literary meeting, Mr. Zhao has the intention of choosing an apprentice, and compared with this, other things are not important." ”

"This is natural. Fang Ziyan also nodded in agreement.

Zhao Chengcheng is a master of Shu studies, his own profound knowledge, in addition, there are many disciples, although it cannot be said that the peach and plum are all over the world, but many students are in the court, if they become their disciples, not to mention anything else, this imperial examination is not to worry, when the township examination, no matter which examiner, always have to give Zhao Chengcheng a little face.

While speaking, Fang Ziyan and Gu Yanzhi entered the Wenqu Building surrounded by a group of Confucian students.

When Qiu Yan came to the front of the building, a servant also greeted him, he handed over the invitation, and left.

Before coming, Qiu Yan changed his outfit, and after taking the exam, he changed into a green shirt issued by the government, and he looked refreshing, this is not his love of vanity, but basic etiquette, expressing respect for others, if he deliberately wears out of line clothes when participating in a formal banquet, it is not low-key, but rude.

However, his clothes, even compared with the slaves who led the way, looked shabby, but fortunately, most of the scholars who came here were general plans, and they were not outstanding.

After the opening room, across the threshold, is the flower hall.

In the spacious hall, there are curtains everywhere, and from time to time there is a crisp laughter, and many young men in brocade clothes and scholars in green shirts who came in before are talking and laughing with a young woman.

These are all Qingqi people in Wenqu Building.

In the depths of the flower hall, the sound of the piano came out.

Talented and beautiful, romantic and charming, since ancient times it has been a Shilin pleasure, the Confucian scholars who came here are all famous talents, and even a few people, of course, unwilling to be the queen, and the woman talked about the Tao, chanted poems and painted.

"There is too much rouge in this building, and there is a corrosive thought, and if you stay in such a place too much, you will inevitably lose your mind. ”

Shaking his head, Qiu Yan refused the two women who greeted him, found a chair, and closed his eyes after sitting down, he came this time according to the appointment, he was invited by Zhao Chengcheng, not the Miss Song family, but since he came, he naturally had plans.

"That person, isn't that Qiu Yan?"

The scholars who came to this building, mostly lived in the post station, and when they saw Qiu Yan coming in, they recognized it as soon as they saw it, and they inevitably talked about it, showing humor, and making the beauty next to him smile.

"Zhang Sheng, Liu Sheng, you said in the afternoon, this Qiu Yan has disgusted the prince of the swamp people, and he was called by the Jiedu envoy, why did he also receive an invitation to the Wenhui?"

Soon, someone asked.

That Zhang Sheng and Liu Sheng, who were the two Confucian students from before, arrived with Qiu Yan on their front and back feet, but they couldn't answer when they heard the words, they just speculated.

"Oh, this Qiu Yan is very famous?"

Listening to the scholars' discussions, the two young men in brocade clothes felt interesting, so they came over and asked.

These two teenagers look young, but their steps are steady when they walk, and their eyes are like stars in anticipation, and they obviously have martial arts and are not shallow.

"Qi Gongzi, Yang Gongzi ......"

I saw the two of them coming. Many scholars hurriedly saluted, even Fang Ziyan and Gu Yanzhi were no exception.

These two young sons, one is called Qi Xin and the other is Yang Dingyuan, and their fathers are both confidants and generals of the Jiedu Envoy, with high and powerful positions, holding military power, and waiting for idlers to provoke.

The literati of the Great Rui Dynasty looked down on the warriors, but that was also a division of people. If all the people present are officials of the imperial court, of course they are not afraid of military generals, but at the moment, these scholars have not yet entered the official, but they have fame, how dare they offend the military generals with real power, and even the sons of military generals are also courteous.

At that moment, some people told Qi Xin and Yang Dingyuan about Qiu Yan's matter.

"Oh, I was stunned by the test? Could it be that he is a person who does not learn and has no skills, and he is going down a crooked path? You said that he had a conflict with the swamp people and made a move, so he shouldn't be a timid person, interesting. Interesting. Qi Xin listened, chuckled, and then walked towards Qiu Yan.

"Brother Qi, what are you going to do?" Yang Dingyuan, who was slightly younger, was suspicious when he saw this, but he still followed.

"This is Brother Qiu, right?"

Qiu Yan had long felt that someone was observing him. I was not surprised to hear Qi Xin's greeting, opened my eyes, and got up to salute back.

"Under Qi Xin. I heard that Your Excellency has a conflict with the little king of the swamp people, the swamp people are cruel and will not give up, Brother Qiu must be more careful. ”

"Thank you for your concern. Qiu Yan responded politely.

Qi Xin smiled and continued: "Brother Qiu can take down the Marsh People's personal guard with one move, it can be seen that his skills are extraordinary, Yunwen Yunwu, it is really admirable, but the Marsh People are cunning, I am afraid that there will be trouble, I heard that Brother Qiu went to the Jiedu Embassy in the afternoon, but he was reprimanded by the general......?

Hearing this, Qiu Yan understood the other party's thoughts, and wanted to win himself over.

"There is a bit of a turbulent taste in this Wuxin City, there are fights everywhere, this Qi Xin has scheming at a young age, it seems to be talking, but in fact, it implies a condescending taste, and there is a kind of meaning to show me the way. ”

Qiu Yan didn't have the heart to get involved in these things.

Noticing that Qiu Yan was not eager, Qi Xin frowned slightly, and Yang Dingyuan next to him couldn't help but speak: "My eldest brother has the intention to promote you, I heard that you are not doing well in learning, Mr. Zhao was stunned in a few words, but since you have practiced martial arts, you might as well try to take the road of martial arts, with the help of Brother Qi and me, you may not be able to make some deeds." ”

When Qiu Yan heard this, he just shook his head, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Reputation is really important, it's only been a long time, the scared things have spread out, and some people have come to persuade me to give up the pen and follow Rong, if I let it go, it will not develop to a certain extent, and in the future, I will succeed in the imperial examination, and I may be taken to talk about things. ”

As he was thinking, the sound of the piano in the depths of the flower hall suddenly stopped, and then a few servants walked out and blew out a few candles in the flower hall.

The light softened, and a woman with an octagonal lantern fluttered out of the curtain and scattered throughout the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the beginning of the cultural meeting, the first link, guessing the lantern riddles. ”

Hearing this voice, many Confucian scholars were eager to try.

Fang Ziyan said to Gu Yanzhi: "Brother Gu, this time I have to try to see if I can suppress you." ”

Gu Yanzhi smiled without saying a word, and walked directly to a lantern.

The rules of guessing the lantern riddle are also simple, the puzzle is written on the lantern, the riddle is held in the hand by the lady, if it is right, then tear off the puzzle, get the note to write the riddle, the person who collects the most notes, is the winner, this is a well-known entertainment in the country.

Soon, there were many Confucian students in front of each lamp, and young people and young people in brocade clothes also surrounded them, wanting to try their skills.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"My reputation has ruined these Confucian students, and if I suppress their limelight tonight, this group of people will have no face to talk to me in the future. ”

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan confessed to Qi Xin, walked to a lamp, and looked at the puzzle above. (To be continued......)
