Chapter 20 Cousin
Wu Jie was here to make soy sauce this time, and as for poetry meetings, he had no interest at all. Poetry is just singing and socializing among literati, and used to cultivate sentiment. After entering the imperial examination, he was a essay. Besides, he would not do such things. Even if he was lucky enough to be recruited into the academy, it would be a bit embarrassing to meet his fiancée who had inexplicably gotten into it.
For him, the most important thing is the April palace examination, and there is no time to go back to school to be restrained.
But Gao Zhi County recommended himself to enter the academy so enthusiastically. If he didn't come, he would have to be unfavorable.
Then, let's deal with it first.
So, after entering the Tang family's flower hall, he quietly walked to the most remote corner and waited silently for the meal.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but the matter came to his head.
As soon as I sat down, the light in front of me suddenly dimmed.
When I looked up, I saw Wu Lun, who had been missing for a long time, his distant cousin.
I have to admit that this kid looks handsome and elegant. However, the arrogant attitude between his eyebrows looks very annoying.
Wu Lun raised his eyebrows and refused to politely ask Wu Jie: "Why are you here? This is where you come? Last time, I thought it was embarrassing and I was too embarrassed. I was completely embarrassed by you. Let's go home!" He looked like a brother taught me a lesson.
Huang and Jiang Ersheng followed Wu Lun with a sarcastic look on his face.
When Wu Jie saw Wu Lun's stunning appearance, he felt a little unhappy. He was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he looked around and pointed at his face, pretending to be surprised: "Are you talking about me? Why are you so angry? I received an invitation from the Tang family. Besides, who can come and who can't come, you have the final say?"
Wu Lun looked ugly. He was not easy to have an attack in front of everyone, so he just shouted softly: "Stay honestly for me, don't make trouble and make people laugh."
Wu Jie smiled faintly: "Who are you me? Oh, I forgot, you are my distant cousin. Why, I want to teach me a lesson? To be honest, I don't want to come here either. Unfortunately, Lord of the County Master must let me come over, the invitation written by the Tang family himself. I have no choice. You are not from the Tang family, and it's not your turn to drive me away. I forgot, cousin, you have always wanted to enter the Tang family. When you enter the Tang family in the future, you are saying this. Brothers want to persuade you. A man would rather take the lead than seek the lead. Everyone loves fame and wealth. You can fight every shot in the imperial examination. Going to the wrong place is not a scholar, but it makes people laugh at others."
He would return to Wu Lun's words, and Wu Jie's words were sarcastic, which implied that Wu Lun was obsessed with the lady of the Tang family for wealth.
Next to them, several scholars chuckled.
Wu Lun's handsome face turned red. After holding it in for a long time, he shouted in a low voice: "You fool, why do I do so much nonsense with you? "
After saying that, he left with his sleeves.
In a moment, the Tang family master came in with two middle-aged men wearing official uniforms.
I don’t know what the two of them are from, they probably are officials from Chengdu Prefecture. Wu Jie has just returned to Sichuan for a short time and cannot recognize them.
The other local scholars stood up and saluted repeatedly: "I paid homage to Master Wen Tongzhi and Master Professor."
Only then did Wu Jie realize that the person who came to Chengdu Prefecture Tongzhi Wen and Professor of the Prefecture.
Wen Tongzhi was a sixth-rank official. He was not very old, only in his thirties, wearing a blue official robe. He was the highest among the people in this group and was in charge of the daily government affairs of a government. He coughed gently and said that Mr. Zongzhi returned to his hometown from Yunnan to establish a college. This time, this time, it was a grand event for my Chengdu government's culture and education. Our Sichuan culture is prosperous, and great masters like Yang Ziyun and Sima Xiangru have been born since ancient times. Articles are a great event. I am in charge of the culture and education of a government and have promoted etiquette. I am happy when I heard about this.
Wu Jie was naturally not interested in listening to this mandarin cliché. While drinking and eating, he secretly observed Mr. Tang, the parent of the Tang family.
Speaking of which, he is also his own father-in-law. Wu Jie had heard from scholars Jiang and Huang that the Tang family was beautiful and beautiful, and he didn't feel curious. The aesthetic views of the ancients were very different from those of modern people. The beauty in the minds of the ancients may not be ugly to modern people.
Take the Qing Dynasty as an example. When it comes to the emperor's wife, most people would describe it as "**3,000 beauties". But when Wu Jie saw the so-called photo of the so-called beauty, Zhenfei, on the Internet, he almost vomited it out.
There is also the first prostitute Sai Jinhua of the Qing Dynasty, who is a shriveled young old lady.
Since then, he has been extremely alert to the beauties mentioned by the ancients.
As the saying goes, a daughter looks like a father, and you can see how the lady of the Tang family looks from Mr. Tang.
Seeing this, Wu Jie called "Good" and then called it very dangerous.
This Tang family master looks so festive, with a short and fat man, and a Ming Dynasty version of Zeng Zhiwei.
With the father like this, my daughter probably won’t be much better.
Fortunately, I didn't plan to marry Tang Mi, and I offended them until I died, and finally escaped.
After Wen Tongzhi finished speaking, a scholar came forward and asked, "Master Wen, why didn't Mr. Zongzhi come?"
Everyone also found it strange that this poetry meeting was to select students for Yang Zongzhi, and he, the person involved, could not see anyone.
Next to him, Mr. Tang was a little embarrassed: "Everyone, Mr. Zongzhi traveled a long distance and was a little unacceptable after returning to Sichuan, so he couldn't come."
Next to him, the Chengdu Prefecture Professor shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zongzhi is really the style of a famous scholar!"
Wen Tongzhi was open-minded and smiled: "Mr. Zongzhi is a secluded man who likes quietness. But when he comes, he will be the presidency of this. In this way, he will not talk nonsense, but just admit a few students. Poetry and lyrics are urgent, and it is difficult to have a masterpiece. It is better to ask the questions first, so that everyone can prepare first."
When he heard that the question was about to be asked, the three hundred scholars were shocked at the same time and all stood up straight.
Wen Tongzhi glanced at everyone, and then said lightly: "Mr. Zongzhi said that this time he returned to his hometown from Yunnan, passed through Guizhou and went to the Three Gorges, and then went up to the middle of Shu. Although the road was hard and difficult, how could the magnificence of mountains and rivers be seen by scholars who could not leave the door? His first question was based on the Three Gorges and Shu Road, and was limited to one hour."
Soon, two servants from the Tang family carried out a large hourglass and placed it in the middle of the flower hall.
Since the title has been published, all the scholars have no intention of having a meal, and they frowned and thought hard, hoping to pluck their dry intestines and write good sentences.
Wu Jie still dries when he comes to wine, and he eats smoothly.
In a moment, the Tang Dynasty servants came to take the banquet and put a small table in front of each person, and put four treasures of the study on it.
For a moment, there was no more words, just the sound of ink ingots rubbing in the inkstone. Countless pens fell on the best jackal rice paper, either fast or slow, heavy or light.
There is agarwood lingering in the flower hall, and there is a refreshing fragrance in the air.
Having drunk too much wine, Wu Jie felt his head was swollen and his eyelids were a little heavy, and he just wanted to find a place to sleep well. In fact, in modern society, he also had half a pound of weight. But today the wine at the Tang family banquet was the best Jiannan Shaochun. It has a mellow mouth and a long aftertaste. He drank a few more sips without realizing it. He was drunk because he had just recovered from the illness.
It was a shame to be drunk in the Tang family. Wu Jie could only lift his energy and drink Qionglai flower tea without sip.
As for writing poetry, he is not interested in it! Besides, he doesn't know how to write any lyrics. Last time he was in the county examination room, the test poem almost suffocated him to death. If he forced himself to write it now, he would definitely make a big joke, and it would be better to hide his weakness and not write it.
I don’t know how long it took for a furnace of agarwood to burn out.
Then I saw that the hourglass in the middle of the hall had reached its end.
Mr. Tang saw that the time was almost the same, so he looked at Wen Tongzhi.
Wen Tongzhi nodded, and the sound of cloud boards sounded crisply.
Mr. Tang stood up with a smile: "The time has come, please hand in the papers."
