In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the Plum Garden Banquet.

The plum garden is the private property bestowed by the first emperor to Princess Huichang of Qing Dynasty. It is located in the suburbs of Beijing and covers an area of ​​more than three miles.There are thousands of plum trees in the garden, and when they are in full bloom, when you look around, the red and white are intertwined, which seems like a spring.

There are houses, terraces, pavilions and waterside pavilions in the plum garden.There is a small artificial lake in the middle. The active spring water drawn from the mountain behind does not freeze in winter, and the two banks are separated by a gurgling stream.Banquets for men and women are located at both ends.

The woman's side didn't know what was going on, but the man's side was full of excitement.Most of the students from Guozijian have come, as well as other academy students.All of them were impassioned, pointing out the current malpractices and denouncing Fang Qiu.

Lin Yan thought it was just an ordinary poetry gathering, but now it seems that it is not the case.

Liu Shangyuan saw his doubts, and said with a smile: "The Plum Garden Cultural Society is a feast for students in the capital to learn from each other, and it is also a way for the royal family to select talents."

Lin Yan looked up at the three princes seated in the first seat. The eldest prince was in the middle, who seemed to have just spilled wine on him, got up and left the table.On the left is the Ninth Prince. He doesn't seem to be very interested in these things, he keeps eating wine, or joking with the girls around him.The fifth prince was on the right, presiding over the feast like a master.

Lin Yan shook his head and chuckled, no wonder, the students all seemed to have taken stimulants.He turned his head to look at Liu Shangyuan, "Aren't you going to show off your talents?"

"Although this is a way, it is not as good as entering an official through the imperial examination. Besides, this way also has disadvantages."

Lin Yan understood that if he came out on such an occasion and won the prince's eyes, he would naturally be able to rise to the top, but at the same time, he was also labeled and tied up. In the future, he could only live as someone's party member and could not escape.

He looked at Liu Shangyuan and laughed, it is rare that his friend is a person who has a deep heart and can see the current situation clearly, and knows how to plan.

"Speaking of this, it reminds me of the four sentences Mr. Lin said in the Imperial College. Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the sage's knowledge for the past, and create peace for all generations. We scholars should be like this!"

"Exactly! Mr. Lin happened to be here today, why don't we ask Brother Lin to explain the profound meaning of these four sentences to us."

I was caught off guard and called again.Lin Yan shook his hand, and the wine spilled out.He looked up at the two young people with a dazed face, dear, do I know you very well, please don't mention it!

Situ Feng's eyes brightened, "Okay, okay! Lin Yan, since everyone is looking forward to it, you might as well just say a few words. Today, you haven't spoken yet."

Lin Yan had no choice but to stand up, "Heaven and earth take life as the heart, and the sage counsels and nurtures, so that all things have their own lives, this is the heart of the world; to establish righteousness and principles, to support the rules, this is to establish the way for the people; to follow the unique learning, that is to say. It tells the orthodoxy; opening Taiping, it is said that if there is a king, he must take Falize, and it will last forever."

Snapped!

Lin Yan was almost taken aback, but Situ Feng applauded repeatedly, and even stepped down with a glass of wine, "I finally understand today what it means to listen to the king's words, which is better than ten years of reading. This is not only the way of a scholar, but also the way of a royal family The way of governing the world."

"Don't dare, the prince is absurd!"

"You are too modest. Not only this king, but also the emperor's father praised you like this. You deserve it."

As he said that, he actually handed the wine glass to him in person, which meant to respect and accept the worthy.Everyone in the field looked different, and most of the students were jealous.Huo Ye snorted, with contempt in his eyes, dismissive.Situ Yue looked playful.

Lin Yan suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, bowed to take it and drank it down.Whether he likes it or not, he has to drink this wine.

Situ Feng laughed and clapped his hands, "Okay! That's refreshing, I made you a friend today. If someone bullies you in the future, just come and find me!"

Lin Yan's heart felt cold, and he refused twice with a smile, but Situ Feng's enthusiasm did not diminish, but increased.Lin Yan had no choice but to excuse Wenhui to continue to get out and return to his seat.Liu Shangyuan cast a worried look, Lin Yan's heart warmed up, and he said with a smile, "It's okay."

Liu Shangyuan opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed it when he saw the fifth prince sitting on the first seat out of the corner of his eye.

In the field, the debate was over and it was time for poetry.The boy distributed pens, inks, papers and inkstones to every student present.Situ Feng then said: "In the past, the topic was always winter or plum blossom. Although it fits the occasion, I'm afraid everyone is tired of it these years. This year, we might as well change to a new method, how about writing about spring?"

I have to say, this move was wonderful.Who would have thought that the fifth prince would write about spring in winter?Tsk tsk, this caught those students who had prepared poems and lyrics in advance by surprise.

When Lin Yan rolled his eyes and glanced away, he saw that the expressions of three or two students changed from secret joy to worry and impatience.Lin Yan laughed, lowered his head and picked up the pen, but he didn't know what to write.

He has studied in this world for so many years, and his poems are not bad or good, and his balance is stable, which is passable.But at the moment, I have no thoughts and no interest.

If he insisted on pulling out a song, he could do it, but he didn't want to force it.It’s okay if you copy it. Although later generations have learned business, there is a grandmother who is a professor of ancient classical Chinese.

But with Hengqu's four sentences in front, Lin Yan felt that it was better not to die anymore.

So he simply put down his pen and handed in a blank paper.

Originally, there were quite a few students, so it didn't matter if he handed in or not.But Situ Feng seemed to be staring at him today. After commenting on other poems, he asked, "Which one is Lin Yan's?"

Lin Yan helplessly spread the white paper on his desk, "Forgive me, Your Highness, students are not good at this."

As soon as the words came out, there were boos immediately.

"Mr. Lin, don't be humble. How can you not write a spring poem when you can say such a shocking four lines?"

"That's right! Mr. Lin, don't you think you look down on us and don't want your poems to be put together with ours, do you feel that you have been humiliated?"

Lin Yan looked at Situ Feng, saw his smiling face welcoming people, and smiled wryly in his heart.See, he just put on a little show, and his own troubles came.

Not to mention that he didn't say the four sentences of Hengqu, even if he said it, who stipulates that a person who can say such words must have good poems?Does this have something to do with poetry?

Lin Yan stood up, just about to say something, but saw a loud sneer from the audience.Turning around, I saw Huo Ye's arrogant and frivolous eyes, "How capable do you really think he is? I don't think it's because he doesn't have the ability, so he can't write it!"

Lin Yan laughed, "Huo Shizi is right. Lin has little talent, so he really didn't do it."

Huo Ye was taken aback for admitting so openly, this direction was nothing like what he thought!Why did it make him even more unhappy when it was clearly in response to his words?

Huo Ye stood up and walked over, "Isn't he very good at ordinary times? He recites the Analects backwards, and he can say shocking words. Why is he stumped by a poem now?"

"Poetry is easy to get, but good poetry is hard to find. The way of poetry is to express feelings. If you write poetry for the sake of writing poetry, it is better not to do it."

Huo Ye scoffed again, "Only those who are incompetent will always use such words to distinguish themselves. Hmph! If you want me to say, you might as well spread the word today, Lin Yan is just..."

"Have it!"

Huo Ye was suddenly interrupted, and looked at Lin Yan in displeasure and surprise, "What?"

Lin Yan laughed, "I said, I feel it now, and it's all thanks to Huo Shizi."

Huo Ye was stunned for a while, but Lin Yan had already sat down, writing vigorously.

But in a moment, a poem is on the paper.Huo Ye couldn't wait to pick it up, opened his mouth and said: "Lying spring. The dark plum smells the flowers quietly, and the lying branches hate the bottom. It is heard from afar that lying is like water, and it is easy to reach spring green. The shore is like green, the shore is like green, the shore is like transparent Dailu."

This poem is not a quatrain, but it's not bad either. Huo Ye was not reconciled in his heart, he was not convinced, and he gritted his teeth, "Hmph, but that's all, I thought you could write so well!"

Lin Yan pursed his lips into a smile, "There are deep meanings in this poem, Mr. Huo might as well read it again."

It's just a poem, where does the deep meaning come from.However, since ancient times, there are also Tibetan-initial poems and Tibetan-end poems and so on.Huo Ye was dubious, so he read it again seriously.

Before finishing reading this time, the students who were originally from the Northeast had already noticed it, turned their faces away, and let out a low-pitched laugh like a pig.

Situ Yue didn't give people face like that, so he just burst out laughing.

Huo Ye looked confused, frowning and glanced over. Seeing that everyone's eyes were strange, he looked back at the poem on the paper, finally came to his senses, threw the poem on the ground, and said directly to Lin Yan, "Lin Yan, how dare you Play me, call me a donkey!"

Lin Yan took a step back and sideways avoided.Huo Ye missed with one punch, and directly lifted Lin Yan's desk.The arena suddenly became chaotic.

Huo Ye gritted his teeth, "Come here, arrest Lin Yan!"

"Presumptuous!" Situ Yue threw a wine glass over with a clatter. Although Huo Ye missed, it shocked him greatly.

"My fifth brother and I are still here, it's your turn to speak!"

Huo Ye suddenly seemed to have been poured with cold water, and gradually regained some of the rationality that had been lost due to the rage just now, but the feeling in his heart was stagnant, and he was very uncomfortable.

"Fifth Master, Jiu Master, it was Lin Yan who made the mistake first, and he scolded me!"

Situ Yue came over and snorted coldly, "Isn't it just a poem? From the looks of it, this king is just an ordinary poem. How can it be seen that he is scolding you? Fifth brother, do you think so?"

Situ Feng looked at Lin Yan, then at Situ Yue, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled, "Yes. Huo Shizi, don't be too sensitive."

The two giants present are talking nonsense with their eyes open!They seemed to have completely forgotten that it was they themselves who had no scruples due to their status and laughed the hardest.

Huo Ye held his breath in his chest, couldn't spit it out, couldn't swallow it, he gritted his teeth and gave Lin Yan a look, then flung his sleeve back.

Because of this commotion, everyone lost interest.Not long after, Situ Feng left the table.Immediately afterwards, Situ Yue also left, and took a special look at Lin Yan before getting up.

Lin Yan lowered his head and drank another glass of wine. He found an excuse and was about to follow up, but he saw the lake suddenly bustling with people, and then he shouted: "Someone fell into the water!"

The author has something to say: lying spring.

The dark plum smells the flowers quietly, lying on the branches and hurting the bottom.It is heard from a distance that lying like water, easy to reach spring green.The shore is like green, the shore is like translucent green, and the shore is like translucent black green.

Lu You's "Wai Chun" [It is also said that it is not Lu You's original work, but was modified by later generations. 】.Everyone should be familiar with this, I played it when I was studying.Cursing.

I am stupid.

I have no culture.I have a low IQ.To ask who I am.A big jackass.I'm a donkey, I'm a donkey, I'm a stupid donkey.
