Chapter 127 Backstabber!
The Zhang family banquet was extremely lively, and the wonderful poems of talents in the main hall continued to emerge, and the competition was unprecedentedly fierce.
Not only are the talents nervous, but the adults are also very nervous. You should know that the occasion in front of you all seem to be unintentional on the surface, but in fact everyone cares very much in their hearts!
After all, all counties attach great importance to the Boy Test. The results of the Boy Test next year can even determine the final performance evaluation. Who would be willing to lose this breath on such important matters?
The war is imminent, and morale is the first. Today is a good time to boost morale and a good opportunity to inquire about the reality of the opponent.
This time, in order to show his skills, Zhang Chengxi invited all the top students in Xinhe County to come over, with the purpose of giving the other two counties a warning. His new official took office to burn the fire.
Song Jin and Ma Xuewang are both old people. When they saw this situation in front of them, they naturally had no reason to retreat. Moreover, they knew everything about Xinhe County, especially Lu Zheng's affairs. They already knew that Shi Wen was very weak at this time, and today they deliberately grabbed this point and embarrassed Zhang Chengxi and Nie Yong everywhere.
However, what they did not expect was that, except for Lu Zheng, the students in Xinhe County were not weak in poetry, especially Tian Zepeng, who was very popular today. Not only was he quick-witted, but his poems were of high quality. He even compared many talents such as Duanmu Qiu and Sima Yi.
This time, the entire main hall and side hall became lively. Tian Zepeng had just engaged to Zhang Baoyi. Now he is half of the son of the Zhang family. This time, he was also the first candidate for the county trial planned by Zhang Chengxi. Today he showed his face in front of all the adults. How could the Zhang family be unhappy?
Especially for the female family members, the girls were very excited. Zhang Xijun and Zhang Rouyun applauded, while Zhang Baoyi's face was flushed, but she was happy inside.
"I heard that Baoyi had already had an engagement, and I think this Caizi Tian is Baoyi's wishful husband." Duanmu Wanrong suddenly spoke.
Zhang Baoyi was stunned for a moment, her face turned redder and she didn't say anything. Zhang Xijun said, "Miss Duanmu is right. Cousin Tian is our future brother-in-law. He is the first to be the first to be a poet's meeting today!"
Today, because of Duanmu Wanrong's existence, all the girls' limelight was snatched by her, and everyone was a little unhappy!
At this time, the talented men in Xinhe County had the upper hand, and psychologically several girls in the Zhang family had the advantage. Zhang Xijun was the first to stand up and scold Duanmu Wanrong.
Duanmu Wanrong was not angry. She smiled slightly, but her girl Caiyun didn't have such a good temper. She said coldly: "This cousin Tian's talent is not so talented. If my girl really takes action, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of her!"
As always, Caiyun's voice was still very low, but Zhang Baoyi and others could hear it. Zhang Baoyi frowned and couldn't help it, and said:
"Miss Duanmu, Baoyi has long heard that you are very knowledgeable. Today I happen to have this opportunity. My little sister wants to have a chance with you. I wonder what you think?"
Duanmu Wanrong chuckled and said, "Baoyi is so polite. Where can I learn anything? However, some people outside like to gossip and praise it randomly, which is definitely worse than Baoyi."
Duanmu Wanrong refused. Zhang Xijun and Zhang Rouyun only thought she was timid, but also thought that there were so many female relatives in the Zhang family today, and there were also female relatives in the Sima family. The Zhang family had specially organized a banana poetry club in the past. When it comes to writing poetry, everyone is no problem, and it is no less than an ordinary talented man!
So Zhang Xijun and Zhang Rouyun immediately stood up and urged him. Finally, Duanmu Wanrong sighed and said, "Since Baoyi is so persistent, I will throw away the bricks and lead the jade to write a poem first, Caiyun, come here..."
She waved to Caiyun, Caiyun came over, Duanmu Wanrong whispered a few words in her ear, and Caiyun's face immediately showed joy, and she quickly lifted the curtain in the side hall and ran out.
Zhang Baoyi and others looked at each other, not knowing which Duanmu Wanrong sang it. At this time, Tian Zepeng just wrote another poem in the main hall, and the limelight was in full swing. Duanmu Qiu, Sima Yi and others were about to lose.
Just at this moment, a girl from the Duanmu family came to Duanmu Qiu's ear and said a few words. Duanmu Qiu was stunned for a moment, immediately clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Okay, Brother Tian's poem is excellent. I have a few words here, so I would like to ask Brother Tian to give it a good example..."
The title of this time has reached the poem "The poem "Duanmuqiu is really amazing". At the beginning, there are two sentences: "The number of calyxes contain snow at first, but the picture is difficult to be alone." The two sentences are released, and the audience is silent, and everyone is stunned.
Then, Duanmu Ci, the head of the Sima family and Duanmu family, and Sima Ru, the head of the Sima family, stood up almost at the same time and praised in unison: "Okay!"
Then, Ma Xuewang and Song Jin immediately praised Duanmu Qiu's two sentences were amazing, which could be said to be much better than Tian Zepeng. Duanmu Qiu finished this poem, which caused a sensation.
Zhang Chengxi, who was proud just now, was completely stupid. He liked to dance and write, but although he had not gained fame, his achievements in poetry should not be underestimated.
Duanmu Qiu's poem just now was obviously much higher than Tian Zepeng, Zhang Haoran and others, and it was a five-character quatrain, and the rhythm was very standard. In this game, Duanmu Qiu turned the world around like this?
"It's just a poem, and there's a title later!" Zhang Chengxi thought to himself. As soon as he thought of this, he quickly calmed down, with no abnormal expression on his face.
However, what happened later quickly made his thought pale. Then Song Jin, Ma Xuewang and even Nie Yong took turns to give the questions. Duanmu Qiu suddenly felt like he was helping him. Not only was his talented and quick, but his poems were actually excellent.
At this moment, all the previous advantages of the Zhang family turned into nothingness. Tian Zepeng, Zhang Haoran and others could not keep up with his pace at all, and the situation quickly took a sharp turn for the worse.
The Zhang family members who were still very happy just now have now gone to another extreme, and their emotions have become extremely depressed.
Zhang Chengxi's face became very ugly. The situation in front of him was completely beyond his expectations. He could not understand what was going on. Why was Duanmuqiu still very dull before, but now he suddenly became so sharp. Could it be that he was really helping him?
"No, there is something wrong with the girl around Duanmuqiu!" Zhang Chengxi suddenly moved his heart. He found that there was always a girl shuttled back and forth next to Duanmuqiu. The girl left the main hall and came in quietly.
Every time this girl comes in, Duanmu Qiu will definitely be able to produce a masterpiece. What does this mean? This means that Duanmu Qiu is actually cheating?
As soon as he thought of this, he was furious and immediately stood up and wanted to speak. Cui Da, who had been standing behind him, coughed and said, "Second Master, be careful!"
"Hmm?" Zhang Chengxi glanced at Cui Da with his face and said, "Butler Cui, what do you want to say?"
Cui Da quietly approached Zhang Chengxi's ear and lowered his voice: "The Duanmu family has women, women are better than men!"
"Ah?" Zhang Chengxi was shocked and immediately understood Cui Da's meaning. He was in a mess for a moment. He was glad that he was not reckless just now. Otherwise, if he had told this matter in one sentence, wouldn't he want the world to know that today's talented man in the three counties had been suppressed by a woman? If this matter was spread, how could everyone have face?
However, if we don’t tell the story, many students in Xinhe County are no longer able to support this situation. In today’s competition, Xinhe County’s defeat was almost a foregone conclusion.
At this moment, Zhang Chengxi had no idea. He turned his head to look at Nie Yong. Nie Yong's face was also very ugly. He quickly walked to Nie Yong's side and said, "Sir, what should I do about this?"
Nie Yong frowned. Before he could speak, Lord Wu Fu, who had not spoken, stood up and said:
"Okay, the boy from the Duanmu family has learned to cheat. Duanmu Qiu, are these poems really what you wrote? If it is really what you wrote, you ask the girl around you to stand by me, I will give you a few more questions and write a few poems for me?"
Wu Fu has always been inconspicuous because he is not the protagonist today, and he is not even a supporting role. Now the head of Xinhe County yamen is the magistrate Nie Yong, and under Nie Yong are the two county magistrates Wu Fu and Zhang Chengxi.
Today's banquet was Zhang Chengxi's entry into the officialdom. Zhang Chengxi was the absolute protagonist, and there was nothing wrong with Wu Fu at all. But Wu Fu stood up at this time. He heard his tone and spoke in a righteous manner. Obviously, he wanted to find Duanmu Qiu and give justice to the talents in Xinhe County.
But when he shouted, Zhang Chengxi suddenly burst into a cold sweat. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Wu, wait, Lord Nie and I are discussing..."
"Mr. Zhang, please don't say more. I know you are the master today. I don't want to preside over this justice because of face. Let me do this! Duanmu Qiu, tell me honestly, what's going on? If you have any false words, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Wu Fu interrupted Zhang Chengxi's words, looked solemn, and continued to attack Duanmu Qiu.
Zhang Chengxi's heart suddenly became cold. Just now, he looked at Wu Fu, and he clearly saw the coldness in the other person's eyes. He immediately understood that today was over.
What is the matter really wrong? Wu Fu is like a mirror in his heart. His purpose is to destroy Zhang Chengxi's platform. Zhang Chengxi was thinking about showing off his abilities today, but Wu Fu insisted that he reveal his butt. Who made them live in the same yamen and have fierce competition with each other?
In the officialdom, intrigue and intrigue are common. Wu Fu looks ordinary and ordinary. He entered the official position as a juren and was able to stay in Xinhe County for three years, which made Nie Yong afraid of him. How could such a person be an easy person?
