The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

The next day, the poetry meeting began. Shangxian was wearing a luxurious moon-white brocade dress, his waist was tightly bound by a belt, showing his slender waist, and he walked among the crowd.

"Shang Xian!" Seeing Shang Xian, several young masters rushed over, "As soon as we heard that you were going to hold a poetry meeting, we all hurried over here."

Shangxian was stunned for a moment, just rightly bewildered for a moment, to express his bewilderment at these people appearing here.

One of them scratched his head, "We begged others to bring us in, Shangxian, you didn't even send us invitations." The speaker was very aggrieved.

Shang Xian lowered his head slightly, and made an awkward look, "I, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Next time we will have a poetry meeting, I must remember to invite some young masters." Shang Xian's voice was gentle, like a gust of wind.

When several people heard Shangxian talking, they couldn't complain, they all shook their heads to express that they didn't care at all, even if Shangxian didn't send them invitations, they would definitely try their best to come in to see Shangxian.

Han Shi sat in the room with Shen Ling and did not go out. Mu Hongyuan was not interested in this kind of literary poetry meeting, so he just sat in the room with Shen Ling. However, Mu Hongyuan was still a little puzzled, and asked Shen Ling: " Why don't you go out? Make people outside think that Shang Xian is the master of the poetry club?"

Shen Ling picked up the white glaze cup and took a sip of the peach blossom wine, and said, "There is a specialization in art, besides, what should I do if I am caught composing poetry?"

Mu Hongyuan nodded, deeply sympathizing, "It's very reasonable. The poetry society is too scary. It's so embarrassing that I can't make poems. Only my younger brother has this talent. The more he is forced to compose Poetry, the poems he composes are quicker and more spiritual, which is really strange, he usually looks silly, but he is very spiritual in this respect."

"This is a good thing! Everyone has their own advantages, and the third son's advantages have made him famous, how wonderful!"

Mu Hongyuan touched his chin and murmured, "Why don't I have this talent?"

Shen Ling didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only ignore it.

"Don't drink!" Shen Ling turned to Han Shi and said, "You can't drink alcohol during pregnancy." Shen Ling said, he checked the medical books here and made up a lot of knowledge about twin pregnancy, so he couldn't help it Instruct Han Shi.

In fact, Han Shi is also very nervous, and he is very concerned about whether his behavior will be bad for the fetus. He remembers it clearly after Shen Ling ordered him once, but he didn't feel annoying when Shen Ling ordered him a few more times, he just kept on lighting. head, holding a bowl and sipping juice.

Shen Ling withdrew his gaze in satisfaction, and looked at Mu Hongyuan, "You continue."

Mu Hongyuan: ...

Can we have a good chat!

Shangxian came in from the outside, holding a few pieces of paper with poems in his hand, put them on the table in front of Shen Ling, and said: "Here are a few that have already been written, and they are said to be brought in first, and will be used for the final evaluation." .”

"Okay." Shen Ling nodded, took a look at the poem, and silently gave a comment in his heart, it was average.

"By the way, it's almost noon, is it time to eat?" Shangxian asked, and Shen Ling proposed a way to eat by himself. He didn't understand it, but he found it very interesting, so when the meal time came, , he couldn't help but come over and ask if it's time for dinner.

"Okay, you can figure it out, is Peach Blossom ready?"

"Don't worry, make sure that the plates are arranged nicely, and the peach blossoms are also arranged in a pattern, so that you can't bear to touch the chopsticks." Shang Xian nodded.

"That's good, let's have dinner!" Shen Ling said.

"Shang Guanshi, Shang Guanshi!" A servant called nervously from outside the house, hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.

Shangxian frowned, "Didn't you say you can't come in here? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Only then did the servants notice that Shen Ling was there, and he quickly saluted, "Hi, boss." Then he said quickly to Mu Hongyuan: "Hello, young master, I'm still in charge, boss, the lord of Futai is here. There are a few nobles who look extraordinary in their clothes, and they came with Master Futai."

"Damn!" Shangxian couldn't help vomiting a dirty word, they didn't dare to send invitations to the government!

Shen Ling turned to look at Mu Hongyuan.

Mu Hongyuan quickly waved his hand, "It's not me! How dare I!" It's too late for him to hide from his father, how dare he rush up? !

"You always know who those noble people are?"

Mu Hongyuan's lips trembled, "Recently, some nobles from the capital came to Mu's house. I heard that they are my father's superiors. I don't know. Mu Wu must know. I never care about these..."

Shen Ling stood up abruptly, and was about to go out, then turned to look at Han Shi, and said softly, "Are you going?"

"Fuck! Boss, can you ignore these small things and come out with me quickly! You are dragging around here, and when you come in from Mufutai, you can't find the owner of the poetry club. What should you do if you feel neglected?" Shangxian was so impatient that he exploded on the spot.

Shen Ling turned a deaf ear, Han Shi quickly shook his head, he must be very nervous, he didn't want to go, he just wanted to stay here to raise his baby and drink juice with peace of mind.

Shen Ling nodded, and then said to the servant: "Remember to get something to eat for Madam."

"Yes." The servant lowered his hands.

Only then did Shen Ling step out of the room, Shang Xian and Mu Hongyuan followed one step behind, Shen Ling felt that something was wrong, so he pulled Mu Hongyuan and walked beside him.

"Don't! My father must think that I'm doing well when he sees me coming out to play. Maybe he will send me back to the capital to go to school! I don't want to appear in front of him at all now!" Mu Hongyuan retreated desperately.

"You walk behind me! Do you want Master Futai to dislike me?" Shen Ling's eyes widened. He was an ordinary man, and Mu Hongyuan was Mu Futai's son. In the back, it's strange that Mu Futai finds him pleasing to the eye.

Mu Hongyuan also understood this truth, so he could only stand nervously beside Shen Ling, and said: "If my father asks me later, you must say that I just came out to relax, so it will be good for the recovery of the wound."

Shen Ling: ...

Is school really that painful?Why didn't he feel that when he was in school?

"Lord Mu, hello, gentlemen." Shen Ling rushed out in a hurry, and bowed to Mu's mansion and others, with a smile on his face, "All distinguished guests have arrived, and Shen Ling is far away to welcome you."

Mu Hongyuan raised a bright smile, "Mu Hongyuan has met all the adults."

As for Shangxian and the like, they stood obediently behind Shen Ling, and they didn't even have the right to say hello. Shangxian shrank his head and didn't really want to say hello.

Mu Wu stood behind the Mu Mansion Terrace and several adults, raised his eyes to see Shang Xian, but glanced over naturally, as if he didn't care at all.

Mu Futai nodded, and said to the people around him, "This is my second son, Mu Hongyuan."

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs and sons, and a hero produces a boy!" one of them said.

Mu Hongyuan was a little embarrassed, he wanted to ask, how did you know this?But obviously even the person who said this didn't take his compliment seriously. Mu Futai has changed the subject, "I heard that there is a poetry festival in Huaizhou. I will take the liberty to come here. I don't know if there is any interruption?"

Shen Ling dared to say that he was bothering, and quickly expressed that it was his honor.

"Huaizhou has outstanding people, and today I saw it, and it really has a prosperous literary style and lives up to its reputation."

"Mr. Fu is very good." Mu Futai nodded to the people around him, his face was obviously a little happy, after all, Huaizhou was under his rule, and the style of writing here is at its peak, which means that he did a good job .

Mu Futai said to Shen Ling again: "It's okay, you can continue to work! We just have a look, the adults are very interested in the poems on the invitation, and want to know what kind of second half you will continue in the end, You are busy with your work, don't worry about us."

Shen Ling made a slight movement, cupped his hands and said, "It's Shen Ling's honor to be here. Since we are destined to come to the poetry fair, let's just talk about poetry, regardless of our identities. It looks very respectful, so as not to offend people, as the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, it is worthwhile to put in such a effort.

Besides, at the poetry meeting, literati gathered to talk about poems and songs, regardless of their status, and Shen Ling was so respectful and polite, it didn't make sense to want to get angry.

Mr. Fu seemed to be the oldest among all the people, and he was also the leader among them. Seeing what Shen Ling said, he said casually: "It should."

"Since that's the case, Shen Ling would like to invite a few adults to testify and judge the most suitable second half. Above the literary competition, there is no first place in literature. Shen Ling was still having a headache. How to judge the final winner, it just so happened It is really an honor for Shen Ling to come here, and I would like to ask, is it possible?"

Although the other literati at the literary meeting did not come close, they all listened to the movement here. They all knew Mufutai, and the few people who were with Mufutai did not look like ordinary people. The owner of Wenhui suddenly ran out and saluted and asked, and everyone became more curious. Although everyone didn't know the identity of the visitor, they could guess that it must be a high-ranking official with an extraordinary status.

Now that the real Buddha came, everyone was full of energy and wanted to show their faces. The young people thought about the imperial examination, the old people thought about their families, everyone was eager to try, and wanted to show their excellence in front of the visitors, and they all treated Shen Ling He paid great attention to his request, and almost everyone hoped that this person would agree and give them a chance to show themselves openly.

"Okay." Fu Lao nodded, looking quite interested, "But, you have to tell me one thing first."

"Please tell me, my lord. Shen Lingzhi has everything to say."

"I don't know where the four poems on the invitation card came from? It's really exquisite, vulgar and elegant." Mr. Fu praised. If not, they wouldn't ask Mu Futai to bring them over to watch this child's play. Wenhui.

Shen Ling said: "I got it from an ancient book. It's just that Shen Ling is stupid. He only remembered the recipe for wine making in the ancient book, but he forgot part of the poems in the annotations. Only the first half of the poem was left, and the latter poem was forgotten, so After the peach blossom wine was brewed, Shen Ling thought about holding a peach blossom poetry meeting, and the second half of this poem will be continued."

Mr. Fu was noncommittal, and asked again: "I don't know which ancient book it is? What's its name? Are there any chapters in it that you always remember? Although my family doesn't have many books, there are a few, and there are many unique books. Tell me When the name comes, I will go back and look for it, maybe I have it there too?"

What a big tone!Everyone was amazed.This Buddha is still solid gold!

Shen Ling calmed down, "The title of the book is broken, and Shen Ling has never seen it before. Most of the chapters are about wine making, vegetable making, pharmaceuticals, etc., and the poems are annotated. It looks like it was written by a hermit. The day-to-day life of his time in seclusion."

Mr. Fu frowned slightly, "I don't seem to have such a book at home, but it's interesting. By the way, you said you brewed the wine in the book?"

Shen Ling was shaken, and said: "Yes, Shen Ling is incompetent and cannot completely restore the records in the ancient books. He can only slightly modify them and make Bifang wine and peach blossom wine. Please taste them."

"Okay, let's have a taste!" Mr. Fu smiled.

"Yes." Shen Ling bowed his hands and retreated. Mu Hongyuan had already sneaked away. After Shen Ling left Mu Futai, he got out from nowhere and rushed to Shen Ling, his eyes widened. I couldn't tell whether it was horror or excitement.

A big face suddenly approached, startling Shen Ling. Shen Ling patted his chest, "You scared me! I was already very nervous, but you still scared me!" He has a higher status than Mu Futai, and when talking to him, Shen Ling is always very careful.

"Shen Ling, I just went to the door to ask someone to find out. Do you know who that old man is?" Mu Hongyuan grabbed Shen Ling's arm and shook it.

"Who is it?" Shen Ling asked.

"My lord Taifu, the crown prince's mentor, my elder brother's examiner during the imperial examination, is also my elder brother's teacher!" Mu Hongyuan said excitedly, shaking Shen Ling's arm desperately.

"Stop! I understand." Shen Ling nodded, and he felt a little better after figuring out his identity.

"What do you understand! You don't know at all!" Mu Hongyuan leaned closer to Shen Ling's ear, "The emperor is old, and the powerful officials are in power. This Tutor is one of the powerful officials." Mu Hongyuan lowered his voice. It is impossible to know, but his family is in the power, and he has been studying in the capital all year round, so he is very aware of the influence of this Fu Taifu in the capital, so he is so excited.

Sure enough, Shen Ling's expression was a little loose, and he looked at Mu Hongyuan in surprise.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Shen Ling moving slightly for a long time, Mu Hongyuan asked excitedly.

"I got rich this time." Shen Ling said silently.

Mu Hongyuan: ...

"Can you be a little promising! A man, if you don't want to be famous in your life, you should at least pursue it! Do you only have money in your eyes? Do you know that Shang Nai is cheap?" Mu Hongyuan could not wait to see Shen Ling Open his brain and take a look, how does this person's brain grow? He is doing business all day long, money, money, is money important?Obviously the right is!

Shen Ling looked at Mu Hongyuan speechlessly, "The other party's status is too high, just make a small fortune by making a small fortune. The more you ask, the greater the danger. It's not easy for me to live forever. Let me make money to raise a wife and have children." Isn't it good?"

Mu Hongyuan was stunned for his enthusiasm, and he didn't know how to refute.

"Also, brother Mu, are you good at learning? Can you show your face in front of him? How does it compare to your elder brother? If not... I advise you to stay away, so as not to be beaten by your father in the future." Shen Ling sympathized road.

Poke the heart with a knife!Mu Hongyuan, a scumbag, has become wilted. He can't even write a peach blossom poem well, so he really can't dangle in front of that grand tutor!Who can understand, in fact, he also has a great ambition, but it is a pity that he died before his ambition was paid off, which made the hero burst into tears...

You must study hard tomorrow and make progress every day...
