The Zhishuiwenhui is well-known. Not only are there talents gathered on the island in the middle of the lake, but there are also special high platforms. On the high platforms, Yangzhou Tongzhi, Lord Liang Quan, sits in the middle. Under Lord Liang, the magistrate of the eight counties of Yangzhou, visited each county and county magistrate. In addition, there are also county magistrates, masters of the county schools, and all the adults from all walks of life gathered here. There are dozens of people wearing official robes on the high platforms.

Under the platform, all talents gathered among different pleasure boats. These pleasure boats are cleverly connected together and guard the platform. Such a literary gathering venue is truly elegant.

After seeing such a venue, and then going to the Zhang family’s Guanshan Poetry Conference, it was really a kind of gold and jade comparison. Zhang Chengxi thought of challenging the Shushui Cultural Association through Guanshan Poetry Conference. It was a joke of ignorance and a mental fantasy of Ah Q.

Lu Zheng felt his eyes wide open. He followed Qin Yue, listening with his ears, studying with his heart, and taking extra care.

In addition to talented men, the beauty at the literary gathering is also the protagonist. The beauties and talented women on the West Lake painting boat were dressed up carefully today and appeared in various pleasure boats. Among them, Du Yueniang, Ding Zi, and Luo Qiaoqiao, among the four courtesans in Yangzhou, all appeared.

The appearance of the courtesan always causes violent commotion among the crowd. The top courtesans are very good at controlling the situation and trying to figure out the hearts of the people. Today's situation is a literary event, and to put it bluntly, it is a place for talented people to fight in literature.

The fight between men is nothing more than fame, wealth, money, and beauty. The courtesans are now famous and have no owners. If anyone has won the lottery at the literary fair today, they can win the hearts of the beautiful women and even embrace the beautiful women. This is the biggest gimmick of the literary fair.

The beauty loves talented men, and many talented men naturally put in full effort to be outstanding at today's literary conference. As one of the four masters of Zhishui, Qin Yue's appearance quickly caused a commotion.

Qin Yue and Chen Gui each have a group of followers. The relationship between these two people and several courtesans is extraordinary. Chen Gui is said to be in love with Qilan, while Qin Yue and Du Yueniang have an ambiguous relationship.

Today, Qilan and everyone was not here. When Du Yueniang appeared, she walked straight to Qin Yue and greeted him, "Today's literary meeting, I will look at the master's talent! The master just shows his talent, and I will cheer for you!"

Du Yueniang, a woman with a tall and slender figure, her waist is full of snatching her face, and her beautiful facial features are like shadows. She is truly charming.

Her different look at Qin Yue caused a stir. Countless people looked at Qin Yue with envy and jealousy. Qin Yue was certainly happy, but his hatred value also rose.

The shui literature will be unconventional. Some people discuss current essays, some people discuss poetry, and some people discuss lyrics. When discussing current essays, they will be compared to solving topics, following topics, and also compared to the eight-legged parallelism.

When talking about poetry, we should write poems in the limited rhymes of the title, and then we should comment on each other's pros and cons, and the lyrics and fu were roughly the same. Qin Yue was indeed very aware. He patroled the venue and stayed in various pleasure boats, but he easily dealt with it when someone challenged him. It can be said that he was a timely essay, and he was proficient in poetry and songs.

Looking at Chen Gui and him, Chen Gui is almost the same. Chen Gui is more prominent, with more followers around him, and he is also laughing and scolding. Any talented man who challenges him to lose will be ridiculed and ridiculed by him.

Seeing those talented men with red faces and shame, Chen Gui was extremely proud and laughed unruly. Judging from his appearance, he really had the style of a talented man in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Lu Zheng only hid behind Qin Yue, keeping a low profile everywhere, but he was unobstructed all the way, and no one came to challenge him. In fact, everyone in Zhishuiwenhui came for fame, and ordinary newcomers were eager to become famous, so they were competing to show off everywhere.

There are very few newcomers like Lu Zheng who are low-key and silent, and no one else knows him. Who would provoke an unknown person?

In this way, Lu Zheng was hiding at the Shushuiwen Conference. The more he got, the more he became, the more he felt like he was in water. Later, he simply stopped following Qin Yue, but chose a pleasure boat to sit down and quietly learn other people's current writings.

The scientific and technological examination is the core ability that every talented man must master. Everything is inferior to the level of reading. If you want to become famous through reading, everything is determined by the scientific examination, which shows the importance of the contemporary literature.

Talented men above the Zhishuiwen Association are all masters of Shiwen, because anyone who is qualified to participate in the Zhishuiwen Association is at least the identity of a scholar, and he is unique in white like Lu Zheng.

For scholars who are preparing to participate in the provincial examination, or for juren who are preparing to participate in the imperial examination, next year's autumn examination is a great opportunity. Next year is the year of the examination, and current literary discussions in this year's literary fair are indispensable.

In fact, when discussing the current texts in such a literary meeting, everyone is still fighting for the texts. In this process, the aspects involved are relatively narrow and cannot fully reflect their respective current texts.

When a question comes out, you will have to solve the question within a few minutes. If you take the question into account, it is obviously not realistic to have too complex questions. This type of relatively simple and basic questions is more about considering the agility of each individual's thinking, which is not necessarily beneficial for improving one's own writing skills.

However, this situation is very suitable for Lu Zheng. He has been studying the essays recently, not only writing essays but also reciting the essays in large quantities. So far, he has recited more than a hundred essays.

After all, research alone is not as good as someone setting questions. In addition, there are experts who solve questions on the spot and get stocks after taking the questions. This kind of opportunity is particularly rare for him.

What he lacks is precisely these basic things. If you really want to talk about poetry and essays, he was a human being in his two lives, and there were quite a lot of poetry and essays in his belly, and every piece was full of classics, which was weak in the current texts and weak in the foundation.

These time-written battles are not worth mentioning in the eyes of a real talent, but Lu Zheng feels like he has gained a treasure. His spirit is very concentrated and he is highly devoted.

Whenever someone asked a question, he immediately began to ponder. When someone was the first to solve the question and then took the question and started to take stock, he compared the answers he thought in his heart with the answers of the question answerer one by one. Whenever he found that he grasped the key points, he was very excited and felt that his hard work these days had not been wasted.

In this way, Lu Zheng was wandering around with the pleasure boat that specifically picked Shi Wen. Before he knew it, a few hours passed, and he didn't notice it at all.

It was noon, and two cannons were fired on Jiangxin Island, and all the talents stopped fighting. Everyone came out of their own boats and went to the deck.

On the deck is a high platform, with many VIP officials gathering on the platform, looking out at the Slender West Lake, eight dragon boats are already waiting for the battle.

The Shushuiwen Association has finally entered a critical stage. The first stage of the Shushuiwen Association is to fight freely. This stage is to fight on their own, and it is a time to deliberately let talented people greet and prepare their talents.

When we really want to decide the best and the worst, it is the latter. All the talents gather together, either writing essays, writing poems, writing lyrics, or writing fu.

Whether it is poetry, songs, the questions must be limited by the VIPs on the high platform. Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult to formulate questions. Only extremely talented people can stand out and eventually become the focus of everyone's attention.

The so-called "fame" is at this moment. When everyone gathered together, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and tense. Lu Zheng could clearly feel that everyone around him became excited.

On the high platform, an old man in Confucian uniform walked slowly to the front. Seeing the old man's face was clear, his eyes were sharp and his spirits were energetic. He had a sense of majesty while looking around.

"Wow, Zeng Shan has such a big aura!" Someone whispered, and Lu Zheng understood in his heart that the old man in front of him was Zeng Guoning, the mountain captain of Zhishui Academy.

Zeng Guoning and Gui Liang were both called "Zeng Gui". They were both famous Confucian scholars in Yangzhou. Zeng Guoning founded Zhishui Academy. Now Zhishui Academy has become the golden signboard of Yangzhou, and Zeng Guoning's name is even more famous.

Gui Liang has been traveling and giving lectures outside. After returning to Yangzhou a few years ago, he became the chief of Guanshan Academy. Guanshan Academy is unknown and is just an academy organized by merchants. After Gui Liang became the chief of Guanshan Academy, the academy did not improve much.

Some people secretly said that Gui Liang was just a good place to be the chief of the academy, and his personal name was comparable to Zeng Guoning, and that was all.

Zeng Guoning glanced at everyone and said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival and the day for dragon boat racing. Our Shun Hydraulic Cultural Conference was held as scheduled. Today's literary conference is the poetry conference.

The poems and lyrics are all written by Lord Liang. As the head of Guanshan Academy, I only made one request, that is, today's Dragon Boat Festival, which is in the hot summer, and poetry and lyrics are not allowed to be sad about spring and autumn.

Since ancient times, poetry has always been unable to escape the rut of sadness of spring and autumn. It’s a pity that we will set this first rule at the Hydrology Conference today!”

As soon as Zeng Guoning finished speaking, the commotion began to begin below.

The rule mentioned by Zeng Guoning doesn't sound like a rule at first glance, and it seems not worth mentioning, but if you look carefully, this rule is really amazing, because since ancient times, those who express their emotions through poetry have indeed been sad about spring and autumn, and most of them have expressed their emotions in the scenery.

Zeng Guoning’s words are not allowed to be sad about spring and autumn, which can be said to have greatly restricted the topic, such as “falling leaves”, “swallows go”, “flowers fall”, etc., because this is autumn.

For example, "willet catkins", "little lotus", "apricot blossoms", and "peach and plum blossoms", can't be used, because that is "spring", a poem, without spring and autumn, only winter and summer, is this still a poem?

During the huge commotion, many people became nervous. Some people had already whispered to complain that Zeng Guoning was too strict. Zeng Guoning stood on the platform and said aloud:

"Everyone is quiet, this statement is not from my mouth. You don't know. In addition to the Shushui Cultural Association, there are three other poetry meetings in Yangzhou. All of these three poetry meetings have rules that cannot hurt spring and autumn. This rule was set by Mr. Gui Liang. Everyone, does the rules set by Mr. Gui, will it scare you?"
