Chapter 231 Lost the face of the Ruan family!
Today's Qinhuai River is destined to be unusual, especially in the Biyun Pavilion, because today is Miss Fan Duoduo's birthday.
Almost all the talents from Jinling gathered in Biyun Pavilion. During the day, there was a hot Biyun Pavilion poetry festival and at night, there was a gorgeous Biyun Pavilion Lantern Festival.
At night, thousands of Kongming lanterns rose slowly on the river surface. At first glance, there were lights on the sky and the earth, with dim lights and beautiful artistic conception.
In the boudoir, Fan Duoduo stood in the cuckoo bush in a daze. She couldn't help but mutter: "I searched for him in the crowd for thousands of times, and looked back suddenly..."
Aunt Zhou shook her head slightly from the side and sighed: "What's going on! My girl, you offended everyone!
The young master of Ruan’s family today is the most outstanding person in the younger generation of the Ruan family. His lyrics "Linjiangxian" is recognized as the number one in today’s poetry meeting, but you did not sing his lyrics.
besides……"
Fan Duoduo suddenly turned around and looked at Aunt Zhou. Her eyes were sharp and she said, "Aunt Zhou, you are also a master of poetry. I ask you if it is this song "Rolling Yangtze River Flows East", or is it the young master named Ruan's 'Cherries Falling and Spring has returned'?"
Aunt Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "The word "the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward" is better, but..."
"That's right. There are many talented people celebrating my birthday today. I can only choose the top lyrics to thank. In my eyes, only two lyrics are the top.
With these two poems, all other poems can be thrown away..." Fan Duoduo said, looking into the distance, her eyes seemed to be foggy, and she stopped talking, and she was completely confused.
Aunt Zhou turned around helplessly and shouted at the girl: "Axiu, come here! Tell me what's going on?"
A Xiu came over with a smile and said, "Aunt Zhou, what else can happen? Miss is so sad! Alas, I originally wanted to expose others, but I didn't expect that they were a real talent.
Miss is obsessed with poetry as life. Aunt Zhou, what will happen? Not to mention Miss, Mr. Li Mu and Mr. Li are also like losing their souls. If it was a normal day, he would definitely be around the lady like a fly at this time.
But today, hehe, he met Mr. Lu, and he guessed that he had already gone back to reflect behind closed doors. He, the number one talent in Jinling, was ashamed today!”
Aunt Zhou's face changed and she said, "Are these two poems really done by Lu Zheng?"
"Oh, Aunt Zhou, I heard your tone and seemed to have known this Lu Zheng for a long time. Tell me, what is the origin of him? Why is he so powerful?" A Xiu said.
Aunt Zhou said, "This son has just arrived in Jinling not long ago. He was originally from the Lu family in Jiangning. He was a concubine of the second wife. Because he was not tolerated by his mistress, he was exiled to Yangzhou.
Everyone thought he would never come back after going to Yangzhou, but he didn't expect that he won the three leaders in the boy test in Yangzhou and became famous.
After gaining the fame of scholars, the mistress did not dare to be harsh on him anymore, so he returned from Yangzhou...
The lady’s favorite poem “Againing the Wine” was also written by Lu Zheng. Although this son was young and born in a wealthy family, he was actually a miserable person with a tragic fate.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he has such talent, especially poetry."
Aunt Zhou was talking here, and Fan Duoduo's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Aunt Zhou, is it really what he did in "Aunt Zhou"?"
"You knowingly ask, who else can write such a poem besides Lu Zheng? This time, this kid has also had a great fortune. A young lady helped him become famous. His reputation is afraid that it will spread throughout Jinling in a few days!"
...
At night, the house behind the Ruan family was brightly lit.
The great-grandson rested and was in high spirits. He read and wrote at night, and sometimes laughter came from the back house.
The servants were talking privately, saying that since the fourth son Ruan Shaolin came to Yingtian, the old man seemed to have become a different person, and he was happy all day long, and the servants benefited a lot from it.
Just like today, the fourth young master and the seventh master went to Qinhuai River, and the old man ordered people to report it in half an hour, and the situation of the Qinhuai River poetry meeting continued to spread to home.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, the fourth young master is back!" The slave who was passing the message entered the inner hall and said loudly.
Ruan Jingnian, the great-grandson of the Ruan family, was writing and chanting, "The cherries fell and spring has returned..." When he heard that Ruan Shaolin was back, he was shocked and said:
"What's going on? Why did he come back early? Aren't you waiting for the courtesan named Fan Duoduo to toast him?"
"This child is just arrogant and has the most temperamental appearance of his father. It's a pity that his father is not far away from the New Year, hey..."
Ruan Jingnian had experienced the pain of losing his son, so he valued Ruan Shaolin even more. This time, Ruan Shaolin failed to win the first place in the college entrance examination in Yangzhou. He was worried that the child's self-esteem would be hurt, so he immediately wrote a book and called Ruan Shaolin to Yingtian, preparing to train him personally!
The Ruan family has a large family. Ruan Jingnian alone has seven sons and five daughters, and seven sons have grown up again. Ruan Jingnian's grandson generation has more than 70 people.
With so many grandchildren, Ruan Shaolin is the only one who can be valued by Ruan Jingnian. Ruan Shaolin was amazing when he was a child. Ruan Jingnian was afraid that he would succeed at a young age, so he forced him to suppress him for a few years. This year, Ruan Shaolin is only eighteen years old. If he can procure the honors next year, he will be able to pass the imperial examination if he is less than 20 years old.
It is no exaggeration to say that the future of the Ruan family will be on Ruan Shaolin. At least for Ruan Jingnian, he expected this.
Ruan Shaolin returned to the yard where he lived, and the housekeeper came to invite him. He frowned slightly and said, "Uncle Wang, tell grandpa that I was not in good health. I will pay my respects to him tomorrow!"
"This...Fourth Young Master, have you encountered something uncomfortable today?"
"No! I just feel uncomfortable and want to rest early!"
After sending the butler away, Ruan Shaolin drove all the maids and women away, sitting on the chair, as if someone had been sucked. After a long time, a ferocious look appeared on his face and said sternly:
"This is a shame! A great shame!"
Ruan Shaolin went to the Biyun Poetry Conference with great confidence today, and his intention was very clear, just to take this opportunity to let the Jinling academic community see his talents.
He first came to Jinling and was unknown. He surpassed other talents at the poetry meeting, so that he stood out was the shortcut for him to gain a foothold. Today he has succeeded. His "Linjiang Xian" shocked everyone at today's poetry meeting.
However, he never expected that when Miss Fan Duoduo of Biyun Pavilion came out to thank the gift, the "Linjiangxian" she sang was not written by him, but another poem.
The even more annoying poem is indeed higher than his works. Ruan Shaolin was waiting for Miss Fan Duoduo to thank him. When this result was done, many people around him watched this scene. Where did Ruan Shaolin's face be put?
What's even more incredible is that Ruan Cong stood up for his nephew's rebellion for this matter and came directly to Fan Duoduo to question him. At this time, Fan Duoduo said one sentence:
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward in "Linjiangxian" is the best masterpiece of this lyrics today. Does Mr. Ruan have any objections?"
Ruan Cong immediately said speechlessly, but couldn't help but say, "Miss, who did this poem written by? Could it be Li Mu?"
"Hi!" Fan Duoduo chuckled and said, "Does Brother Ruan know which song "Will you enter the wine"? Today's song "Linjiangxian" was also written by this talented man! Everyone, I will sing another song "Qingyu Case" for you, which is also a shocking work of this talented man. I think today's thank you. Although this talented man is not present, he deserves such courtesy..."
"The east wind blooms thousands of flowers at night. It blows down even more, and stars are like rain. The fragrance of BMW carvings is everywhere. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance overnight..." Ruan Shaolin recited this poem softly, slapped the armrest of the chair with force, and said sadly: "Lu Zheng, you...you really want to become famous, why do you have to step on me? With your talent, do you need to join in the fun of the poetry meeting?"
Ruan Shaolin felt infinite loss in his heart. This loss was not only because he failed to become famous and was humiliated. More importantly, Lu Zheng's existence made him feel that his talent could not surpass the other party at all, and this reality made him difficult to accept.
He has been a genius since he was a child, and no one can match his peers. He has become accustomed to being smarter than others. Until he met Lu Zheng, he suddenly discovered a fact that there is heaven beyond heaven and there is someone beyond man. The talent he is most proud of is far inferior to Lu Zheng.
He was dissatisfied at the second seat of the hospital examination. He thought about getting back the venue at the hospital examination banquet, but was destroyed by Lu Zheng as soon as he took action. He didn't even have a chance to fight back. Not only him, but no one of the talented men on the spot dared to fight. Lu Zheng humiliated everyone on the scene with a crushing attitude, including Ruan Shaolin.
After experiencing that setback, Ruan Shaolin slept on firewood and studied hard behind closed doors. After this time, he came to Jinling, he thought of gaining a foothold in Jinling as soon as possible, and then next year Enke absolutely counterattacked and avenged his previous shame.
But his idea was still brewing, and today the Biyun Poetry Conference was a wake-up call. Lu Zheng's two poems instantly killed all the talents of the Biyun Poetry Conference. Fan Duoduo sang these two poems today. Everyone was shocked, but they could not do anything about it.
These two poems spread quickly, but the author of the poem Lu Zheng did not appear at all. He could become famous without even showing up. How could Ruan Shaolin compare with others?
"Shaolin, let's talk about it, what's going on? Young people should be open-minded and don't just keep silent when they encounter something, okay?" Suddenly a voice rang behind Ruan Shaolin.
Ruan Shaolin exclaimed, suddenly stood up and turned his head and said, "Grandpa, you..."
Ruan Jingnian walked into the door with a kind face and said, "Is it because of the song "Linjiangxian" that rolled in the east of the Yangtze River?"
Ruan Shaolin was stunned for a moment, his eyes were red. After a long time, tears were pouring out uncontrollably, and he said:
Chapter completed!
