The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 533 She Laughed in the Bush

Chen Zhao had already figured out the details of the Jia family's eastern and western mansions.

In terms of luxury, Rongguo and Ningguo are the same.It's just that there is an old lady in Rongguo Mansion who is suppressing her, so she doesn't dare to come here indiscriminately, and she still has some rules.

In the Ningguo mansion, there is a respectful old man who only cares about cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, spending his life on giving money so that he can accumulate merit and virtue and become immortal.No one cares about Jia Zhen who is the head of the family. She spends money as if there are gold mountains and silver seas at home. How can she not suffer from Jia Rong who is in charge of the family's livelihood?
Throttling is not daring to cut expenditure, only thinking about open source.But how can this open source be easy to open?
The Great Zhou was founded for a hundred years, and all the good ways to make money were already taken up.

Jia Rong didn't have the ability to dig a new door to get out.

If he wants to have that ability, why bother to be angry with him at home?
Chen Zhao agreed to Jia Lian and Jia Rong's request. On the surface, he seemed to be arrogant and righteous, but inwardly he just wanted to be Emperor Wu of Wei.

Sister Feng, Keqing...

Thinking of this, Chen Zhao couldn't help but feel a little tipsy.

So it was a matter of course to stay in Ningguo Mansion for the night.

It's just that when Jia Rong helped him, he whispered a word: "Have a good time drinking tonight. If Zishuang is willing, he can come to my house as a guest another day. If this man wants to have dignity, he has to rely on something." .”

Jia Rong's eyes followed Chen Zhao's gaze, glanced at the back, moved the servants behind him a little away, and suddenly understood, and replied with a smile on his face: "As long as Uncle Shi enjoys himself, that's fine. No, my nephew must come to the house to visit."

……

Chen Runwen, the head of the Duke of Qi, and Hou Xiaokang, the head of the Duke of Xiu, held literary gatherings. Most of the scholars present were poets and poets. Therefore, during the banquet, they sang with each other, and many masterpieces of poetry were produced.

When Chen Zhaofu entered the capital, he was arrested by the emperor as a strong man, and was responsible for rectifying the affairs of Jin Yiwei. Therefore, although he was a juror, his reputation for literary talent was not outstanding.

Qi Guogong and Xiu Guogong co-organized the literary conference, on the one hand, to make the scribes they assisted famous, and on the other hand, they naturally planned to make a fuss about Chen Zhao.

This Chen Zhao is diligent in official business, so he must be clumsy in poetry, if he doesn't take advantage of the literati gathering to humiliate him and avenge his lackeys, when will he wait?

Walking to the Songhe Tower, a servant came to lead the horse, and a client came to ask: "My lord, may I ask which house is the feast for?"

"Qi State Mansion and Xiu State Mansion." Chen Zhao replied.

"My lord is going to the literary meeting held jointly by the governments of the two countries. On the third floor, my lord, please come in, and the two strong men are here."

Of course the guards have to go somewhere else, otherwise it would be an insult to politeness!
Chen Zhao didn't take it seriously, and went upstairs one by one, holding up the hem of his clothes.

He announced his name on the second floor, and a servant came down and led him to the fourth floor.

There are already 30 people sitting here, Hou Xiaokang and Chen Runwen are taking care of them everywhere.Today, both of them are dressed as literati, inlaid with gold and hung with jade. They have the style of gentlemen, which makes people feel good when they look at them.

It has to be said that the four kings and eight princes have continued to this day, and capable people have emerged in large numbers. Today's Jia family looks glamorous, but the Hou and Chen families have capable people.

Behind the scenes, they may be the same day and night, but on the surface they can handle practical things and win people's hearts.

Seeing Chen Zhao's arrival, Chen Runwen rushed up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chen condescends to come, so that this article will be full of brilliance, moonlight and stars."

"I heard that the two brothers participated in this grand meeting together, and they made a name for us scholars. Such a great deed, I will definitely come here, so that I can follow the tail and observe and learn."

Chen Zhao's attitude was even more humble than Chen Runwen's. The two of them were humble together. Hou Xiaokang next to him felt his teeth ache, and hurried forward and said, "Sir, please take a seat."

Under the guidance of the servant, Chen Zhao walked to a table by the window and sat down peacefully.

After waiting for a while, many people arrived one after another. There were those who had been famous in the capital for the exams, the proud sons of the Imperial College, and some well-known scribes.

In addition, there are professors and teaching assistants from the Imperial College, and more than ten people who are direct lecturers or waiting to be lectured.

Later, three academicians from the Hanlin Academy also came.

This is an example for everyone.

After all, the Hanlin Academy is a place to cultivate talents and store hope. It is responsible for compiling books and writing history, drafting edicts, reading for members of the royal family, and serving as examiners for imperial examinations.The noble status is the stepping stone to become a senior cabinet minister or even a local official.

So everyone got up one after another and bowed their hands to the three adults.The scene was once chaotic.

Chen Runwen knocked on the small copper bell in front of the table, and the fourth floor was quiet.He stood up and said in a loud voice: "Next year's Spring Examination is coming. Today, I will hold this literary meeting with Chen Shixiong. One is to make the students famous; the other is to win the prize. Try it! The title of the gold list!"

"Okay!" Everyone cheered in unison.

When everyone's voices became quieter, Chen Runwen continued: "Today, many celebrities have been invited. There are Imperial Academy... Your Excellency,... Your Excellency,... Your Sir. There is also the Imperial Academy Zuo Siye..., Professor,..., The teaching assistant... and more than a dozen other virtuous gentlemen will serve as today's judges."

Looking around at the crowd, Chen Runwen couldn't help feeling proud when he saw that everyone was looking at him intently.However, when his eyes glanced at a certain table by the window, his face turned cold for a moment, but then he regained his enthusiasm and continued to speak.

"Today is for fame, not for exams. Everyone is happy to write poetry. If there is a good work, it should be spread throughout the capital, and we will drink to congratulate each other. How about it?

"it is good!"

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

No one likes to rank below others.

No matter how bad the poetry is, as long as it doesn't involve ranking, then everyone will be comfortable.

"Today we are only talking about poetry, and let's not talk about other things for the time being. The topic will be jointly selected by several adults, and it will be announced at that time." Hou Xiaokang stood up and said, "Now, let's have a good meal and drink to fill our stomachs, and then we will meet friends through literature."

"Good!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Hou Xiaokang waved his hand, and the servants filed forward and quickly arranged the dishes on the tables.Each table has three meat dishes, three vegetables and one soup, with a total of seven dishes, and the number of small three yuan, big three yuan, and seven yuan won the first prize in the palace examination.

With enough wine and food, the guys turned around quickly, the table was cleaned up, and then the four treasures of the study were placed, and the tea cup was put aside.

After a few discussions, one of them read aloud

"The title has been given. Several adults and gentlemen have gathered together that it is the cold season, and nothing grows. Only plum blossoms are in full bloom. Everyone will use plum blossoms as the title to make a poem. Please start writing."

The few people at Chen Zhao's table were humble to each other, and wrote according to their age.

After each wrote a poem and sent it up, everyone commented on it. Suddenly, a scholar of the Imperial Academy slammed the table and said loudly: "Good words! Good words! Who is Chen Zhao?"

Chen Zhao smiled slightly, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "The student is here. '

"This song "Bu Suanzi-Yong Mei" was written against the meaning of Lu You. It is really written in a subtle way, and the sentences are very pretty. It makes people read it again and again. The more you chew, the more interesting it is. Congratulations!"

After speaking, he drank three cups and read aloud:

"Bu Suanzi Yongmei
Read Lu You's poems about Mei, and use them against their meaning.

The wind and rain sent the spring back, and the snow arrived. It is already a cliff of ice, and there are still beautiful flowers.

Qiao does not fight for spring, but only reports the coming of spring.When the flowers were in full bloom, she laughed in the bushes. "

There was silence in the pavilion, and everyone was savoring these two poems.I don't know how long it has passed, and I don't know who it is, suddenly shouted: "Good words! Good words!"

One person chanted, "Wind and rain bring spring back," followed by two, three, and four.Everyone is a scholar, and a good memory is a must.It is impossible to memorize an article. It is just a word, and it is a word that is listened to with concentration. How can it not be remembered?

Read the last sentence "She laughs in the bushes!"

Almost the entire floor was reading.

The sound was so loud that not only the other floors of Songhe Tower were completely silent, but also the singing on the left and right wings stopped.

After a few breaths of silence, cheers, applause, and stomping sounded, and then spread from the fourth floor to the third floor, the second floor, the first floor, and the left and right wings.

In the eyes of everyone, Chen Zhao cupped his hands and said: "It's fortunate that the two virtuous brothers, Hou and Chen, held this grand event, which made my younger brother suddenly inspired. Today, Miaoshou came across this good poem by chance, because there is something at home, so I will leave first."

Then he turned to the crowd and said, "Students, please have fun and produce a good work! Chen is not talented, so he resigned first."
