Seeing Ning Chen pumping his fist, the four of them fell silent.

After arriving at Yunshan Academy, all I could see was the atmosphere of Confucianism.

Let them all forget that Ning Chen was a martial artist in the beginning.

They, these rookies who have not reached the level of Confucianism, can only be beaten in front of Ning Chen.

Just when Ning Chen stood up, moved his joints, and was about to go out, Kong Jijiu opened the door and walked in from the outside.

"Master Jijiu."

When Ning Chen and the other five saw this, they quickly saluted.

Kong Jijiu nodded, and then said to the five people: "Tonight's cultural banquet is cancelled."

Literary banquet?

What is Wenyan?

This is another new term for Ning Chen.

But the other four people obviously knew what it was.

"Why does the wine-making master cancel it? Doesn't it happen every year?"

"Yunshan Academy, as a Confucian and Taoist orthodox person, how can you deceive others like this!"

Hearing that the cultural banquet was cancelled, Ning Chen, who had no idea what was going on, was still in a daze.

But the other four people were as excited as if they had been given chicken blood.

Kong Jijiu lowered his hand, pointed at Ning Chen and said, "You can ask him."

Ning Chen looked confused when he saw Kong Jijiu kicking the ball to him again.

Why should you ask yourself?

What did you do?

Besides, I don’t even know what Wenyan is.

"Master Jijiu, we can't slander people like this. I haven't done anything, and besides, I don't even know what a banquet is?" Ning Chen absolutely couldn't bear such a simple injustice.

Kong Jijiu said to Ning Chen, "Did you make a couplet?"

Ning Chen nodded: "Yes. But if I publish a couplet, what does it have to do with the Wenyan?"

After a pause, Ning Chen added and asked: "Sacrifice wine, why don't you explain to me first, what is a banquet?"

"Explain to him what a banquet is." Of course Kong Jijiu would not end up doing such a trivial matter on his own, it would be too demeaning.

The second-place finisher agreed, and then explained to Ning Chen what a banquet was.

The so-called cultural banquet, to put it bluntly, is the banquet where Yunshan Academy offered wine to Kong and the others to wash away the dust.

Of course, it can also be understood as a large-scale show-off dinner at Yunshan Academy.

As for these four brothers, why are they so excited?

There are two reasons. One is that it represents the origin of the country and that the Wu Dynasty and Yunshan Academy are equal.

Secondly, there are many great Confucians in Yunshan Academy who can participate in the literary banquet. They can not only increase their knowledge of Confucianism and Taoism, but also add luster to their faces.

After all, I can go out and brag about it in the future. I once drank and had a good time with a certain great scholar.

Or I once sat down with a certain great scholar to write a paper.

In short, this kind of thing is of great benefit to them without any harm.

Now that it has been canceled suddenly, how could they not be excited?

Ning Chen understood what happened to the cultural banquet, but what did it have to do with him if it was cancelled?

"The theme of this cultural banquet is to fight against each other. You have made an eternal statement. How can they have the nerve to have a cultural banquet without the second line?" Kong Jijiu saw that Ning Chen and the other five still didn't understand, so he simply

The words are clear.

After Ning Chen heard this reason, he suddenly felt speechless.

They are all great scholars of the third and fourth grades, but are they still so petty?

There is no trace of a great Confucian here.

Bad review!

"You think too much. Don't talk about third-grade or fourth-grade Wenyan. You are fifth-grade, and you can't even see sixth-grade.

At most, a seventh-grade person can take care of it, and that will be the end of the matter.

Do you really think that Yunshan Academy can value you?"

When Kong Jijiu said this, Ning Chen understood.

The literary banquet of emotions is the stage where the new Confucian students who enter the academy show off their first place, second place, and top prize in the imperial examinations.

This is just a banquet prepared to use them as steps to highlight oneself.

Not to mention official, not even semi-official.

Ning Chen also feels that even if he proves himself to be eternal, he won't let the great scholar be so shameless?

Now Ning Chen understands that, to put it bluntly, Wen Yan is just a group of children messing around.

"This is just for everyone to get together casually, have a meal, and listen to the new college students bragging about whether they can go or not. Why are you so excited?" Ning Chen looked at the four old brothers and asked.

"We heard that you can see great scholars at the literary banquet." Chuanlu said in a low voice with a blushing face.

"Who said that..."

Ning Chen stopped asking just halfway through.

Because there is no need to ask, who else can I listen to?

Just listen to what people who attended the cultural banquet said last time.

Anyway, they also knew that even if Kong Jijiu knew about it, he would not pay attention to their matters at all, so he could just say whatever he wanted.

After knowing the true content of this banquet, Ning Chen felt that Kong Jijiu would not be so idle.

I came here specifically to inform you that their banquet has been cancelled.

Sure enough, Ning Chen understood what Kong Jijiu said next.

"There is no cultural banquet in the academy this time, but we can hold one, and it will be better to keep the theme of confrontation.

The five of you will discuss how to do it specifically.

I've already chosen the venue for you, it's in Wenhua Garden.

This kind of cultural exchange will be of great benefit to you.

Moreover, the academy has organized it dozens of times, so it’s time for us to return to the East and give back to them." Kong Jijiu directly explained his arrangement.

"Yes, Master Jijiu." Kong Jijiu has already made arrangements directly, so they just listen.

"Master Jiejiu, how should we calculate this expense?" The second-ranked official hesitated for a while, then asked a crucial question.

"You just need to take care of it first, and then go back to the Ministry of Finance to make up for it."

After finishing speaking, Kong Jijiu also told Ning Chen and the other five: "This cultural banquet must be well organized. I will invite those old guys to come over and have a look later."

This is the style of Kong Jijiu. Any feedback or no feedback is nonsense.

"Ning Chen, please think of a few more couplets and hang them together when the time comes. Discussing Tao through literature will be lively." Kong Jijiu said to Ning Chen with deep meaning.

"Students understand."

After Kong Jijiu left, Ning Chen looked at the four veterans who were staring at him, waved his hands and said: "Look at what I'm doing. I have to think about the couplets and the cultural banquet, so you should hurry up."

Ning Chen didn't have this awareness if he had to work hard.

"Ahem, Mr. Ning, Mr. Jijiu just said that we should pay for this expense first." The old second pick said shamelessly.

"Okay, how much do you plan to pay? I will pay how much you pay."

Tanhua saw Lao Bang looking at herself, and could only blush and said: "Master Ning, we don't have much to bring with us when we come out this time. We just spent all the money on the meal, so Master Ning, can you help me pay for it first?"

It was really not easy for Ning Chen to look at these old guys, but it didn't make it difficult for them.

He took out a thousand taels and said, "Do it in a grand way."

After the four people left with the banknotes, Ning Chen continued to rest.

This is absolute for eternity, there is really no need to think about it.

Ning Chen only knew a few of them, so he just copied them at night.

They all came from imperial examinations and their ability to do things is pretty good.

So in just one or two hours, the four of them, Lao Bangyan, got started on the wedding banquet.

I stopped by to visit a few people, and posted posts and so on.

To say that Ning Chen really cheered them up this time.
