Fu Tang

Tian Sanlang came in a hurry, took a sip of water and calmed down before explaining.

It turned out that the magistrate of Jiangdu prefecture hosted a banquet and invited Zhao Kuangyin. In order to flatter him, he also invited the most famous local Confucian teacher Xingyi.

Shi Xingyi not only came by himself, but also brought several disciples with him, presumably for the sake of his disciples' appearance in front of Zhizhou and Dingguo Jiedushi.

He didn't know how Li Minglang managed to defeat many senior brothers who were ahead of him and followed him.

During the meeting, when talking about poems and songs, Li Minglang's poem was naturally brought out and praised by everyone.

Tian Dalang, who followed Tian Tongsan, saw Li Minglang looking like a smug villain, couldn't hold back, and exploded on the spot!

For a literati, plagiarism is the biggest crime. If he is found to be plagiarism, unless he goes to a small mountain village to hide his identity, he may not be able to move a single step.

Li Minglang's face turned red, and he was a little flustered. Before he could figure out how to refute, Shi Xingyi showed his displeasure.

Li Minglang's attitude towards the teacher and the pair is dispensable, but he thinks that this is an embryo, and he may have some results after some training. He will select some good talents and qualities to cultivate carefully, and then accept some qualified ones Disciples, these teachings are relatively rough, and Li Minglang is in this relatively rough range.

But no matter what, Li Minglang is also his disciple, and no one can bear to be slapped in the face in public like this.

Fortunately, Shi Xingyi has a good temper, but he just wanted to meet the so-called "original author".

After Tian Sanlang finished speaking, there was a little apology on his face: "Da Lang was impulsive and never thought of bringing Li Langjun into injustice, he..."

Li Congjia waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Da Lang is anxious and righteous. It's too late for me to thank him. How can I blame him? Please also ask San Lang to wait for me and go with you when I change my clothes."

Li Congjia said that the villain in his heart had already begun to gear up. This opportunity came at the right time. He was just worried that going directly to the academy to find that great scholar would appear too frivolous. He never thought that the opportunity would come. !

Li Congjia specially wore a suit of plain clothes with dark patterns embroidered on him. He chose the highest-grade, but very low-key accessories for his accessories. He probably knew them at a glance and could tell they were expensive. I probably don't see how valuable it is.

Fortunately, it is a troubled time now, and the various regimes do not have too strict clothing levels. Li Congjia can calmly wear clothes embroidered with dark patterns with silver thread, with a jade belt.

Because of the cold weather, Li Congjia thought about matching a set of black mink fur with an amber hair crown on his head. After this set, Tian Sanlang's eyes were straightened.

Tian Sanlang suddenly felt that no matter how big an official is, he is not as comfortable as a rich man.

After Li Congjia got dressed, he asked Chunsheng to lead the carriage out.

Li Congjia followed Tian Sanlang to Zhizhou's other courtyard outside the city. The Zhizhou family's other courtyard was much larger and more elegant than the Tongpan's.

Naturally, Li Congjia was not qualified to enter the garden in a carriage, so he could only walk down the side door, and the journey from the side door to the banquet hall was enough to attract attention.

At this time, the atmosphere in the banquet hall can be said to be embarrassing. The faces of the bosses present were not very good-looking, but Zhao Kuangyin and Zhizhou were fine, both of them were a little curious.

Zhizhou had heard of Li Congjia a long time ago. After all, he was considered to be the in-law of the judge, but he was only writing lyrics... It was hard for Zhizhou to imagine that a rich man could have such a literary talent.

Not to mention him, even Tian Tongpan doesn't believe it!

Among these people, it is Zhao Kuangyin who has the most confidence in Li Congjia, because he always feels that Li Congjia has a gentle temperament unique to literati.

The moment Li Congjia was led into the hall by the servants, the scales in everyone's hearts became balanced.

Even Shi Xingyi felt much less dissatisfaction and anger in his heart.

Who made it so that from ancient times to the present, the more prominent and respected the person, the more handsome they are?

If Li Congjia and Li Minglang were to stand together, everyone would definitely think that Li Congjia should be Shi Xingyi's disciple.

Li Congjia stood in the hall and saluted calmly. Zhao Kuangyin liked him more and more when he saw how energetic and handsome he was. He got up and walked over and took Li Congjia's hand and said, "I haven't seen him for a few days, he seems to be in good spirits."

Zhao Kuangyin clearly showed his familiarity with Li Congjia, everyone's expressions were different for a while, and they began to guess who Li Congjia was.

Li Minglang was even more flustered. He dared to plagiarize Li Congjia's words because he knew that the other party had no foundation. As for the Tian family...by the time the Tian family knew, he had already become famous and had a backer. His in-laws come to make life difficult for him?

But now... Could it be possible that this guy has something to do with Dingguo Jiedushi?

Li Congjia replied to Zhao Kuangyin with a smile: "Since the beginning of winter, I have been quite comfortable, and I have all your relatives and friends taking care of me, so it is different from before."

This is not because he is perfunctory. Since he moved to Jiangdu Mansion, he has eaten well and used well, and he doesn’t have to worry about being arrested tomorrow or being taken up the mountain by Zhou Junda. My abs are going to be one piece again!

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and handed him a glass of wine and said, "If you want to be at ease today, I'm afraid you can't."

Li Congjia took the wine glass with a flattered expression on his face, drank it in one gulp, and said with a wry smile: "It's just a mere poem that caused a storm in the city, and even alarmed the envoy, making Li extremely ashamed."

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Shi Xingyi and asked, "So, you must know the reason why we called you here, but now you dare to clarify in front of everyone who wrote the "Sapphire Case"? "

Li Congjia said calmly: "Naturally, I will do it below."

"Oh?" Shi Xing asked, "But apart from one person, do you have other witnesses?"

Li Congjia turned his head to look at Shi Xing with some doubts: "The boy is stupid, I wonder if this old man is..."

"I am Xingyi, the master of Lantian Academy."

Li Congjia bowed and saluted: "I have met Master Shishan."

Shixing nodded and asked again: "What evidence do you have?"

Li Congjia said with a smile: "What certification is needed? Poetry is a free testimonial."

"Hmph." Li Minglang saw his master defending himself, and felt a little calm in his heart. Hearing Li Congjia's words, he immediately taunted him: "You have to be responsible for what you say. Without evidence, how dare you speak so boldly in front of the elders?"

Li Congjia said softly: "I said before that what you steal can never become your own. Since I dare to say that, I am sure of it. If you insist on denying it, then it's easy to say. Let the elders here come up with questions, you How about I write it on the spot and let you judge?"

Li Minglang panicked, and forced himself to say: "Joke, poetry and lyrics are sacred things, how can they be done overnight? Words written in such a hurry may stain the eyes of the elders!"

Li Congjia was unmoved: "Those who can write the "Sapphire Case" within three incense sticks can naturally write another poem within three incense sticks. How is the situation different from today? I am not afraid , why do you push back and forth?"

Li Minglang looked at Li Congjia in disbelief. He thought that Li Congjia's poem should have been written long ago, and then wrote it at the poetry meeting, but he never expected that Li Congjia would dare to compete with him in writing lyrics on the spot.

Sanzhuxiang has a poem, and the level is not low, even the master may not be able to do it, and the other people present... let alone dare to say so.

Dare to boast such a big mouth, either crazy, or his own poetic attainments are not low.

Shi Xingyi finally became interested at this time, he glanced at Li Minglang and was a little bit dissatisfied, they all challenged him face to face, but Li Minglang didn't dare to fight, instead he spoke sarcasm, this child's character is unbearable.

Seeing that Li Minglang still didn't speak, Shi Xingyi had no choice but to say: "Minglang, you just have to compete with Li Xiaolang, don't worry, the few poems you wrote a few days ago are also good, and you can play them smoothly good."

A few days ago?How many words?Li Congjia keenly heard the important point from Shi Xingyi's words, and couldn't help but look at Li Minglang with a sneer on his face.

He said that Shi Xingyi, as a well-known local Confucian in Jiangdu Prefecture and the head of the academy, how could he accept Li Minglang as his disciple just by relying on a single poem? It seems that Li Minglang got several poems from somewhere Words, fooled Shi Xingyi.

But this time, Li Congjia also wronged Li Minglang. Li Minglang himself is considered talented, but he is not far from entering Lantian Academy. He showed his previous words to his teacher. After reading the lyrics of Li Minglang's "New Work", he felt that this person might have already enlightened, and he really liked the lyrics, so he made an exception and accepted this student.

Li Minglang couldn't express the pain in his heart, so he could only brace himself and say: "In that case, I will agree."

As he spoke, he searched his mind for any good words that he could "borrow". However, before that, he always liked to accept younger brothers and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by stars, so what level is it that he is willing to support him?

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhizhou, Zhizhou whispered a few words to the attendant beside him, and after a while, two sets of writing desks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones were all moved into the hall.

Two waiters came over to grind, Li Congjia looked around, waiting for a question.

Although the host of the banquet is Zhizhou, Zhizhou has been an invisible person from the beginning to the end. Zhao Kuangyin has the highest official position, so naturally he will come.

However, Zhao Kuangyin knew that his level was not enough, and as soon as his teacher was there, he smiled and said: "The teacher is here, how can I make an axe? I also ask the teacher to write a question."

Shi Xingyi was also a little hesitant, he is Li Minglang's teacher, if he chooses the question carelessly, he might be said to favor his students.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Since you used snow and plum as the topic that day, why not write about plum."
