As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Zhao Ren was immediately disappointed: "Why are we here if it's not a poetry meeting?"

As soon as Hua Manlou heard this, he immediately followed Zhao Ren's words and took him away. At this moment, someone in the room suddenly asked: "Why is it not a poetry meeting? Mr. Hua Qian must have come here to applaud me. Waiting so hard, why doesn't Brother Gu dare to fight?"

The murderer is on the scene.

216. Then play music and dance

It has to be said that history is always strikingly similar. Why don't we all compare history to a wheel?

Well, the wheels can not only roll forwards, but also backwards, and even turn a corner, which is enough to break some people's waists—for example, Gu Xinghuai, he was almost dodged by this dead man's words stooped.

It is true that as a Confucian student full of righteousness, he must fight resolutely to the end with Huamanlou. After all, the poem "Mocking Confucianism" can be said to scold all scholars. This cannot be tolerated, right?

But this fellow Huamanlou is poisonous. Only the pair he gave to the talented Mu Wenbin last time has not been matched yet, so who knows what other strange abilities he has?

But scholars are scholars after all. Although those who have experienced the last poetry meeting were basically beaten by Huamanlou, there are many people who have not experienced beatings in society, and these people are all thinking: who is not a genius? ?

The truth is actually correct, because even a scholar in some places is a Wenqu star who is sought after by others. This kind of pursuit is enough to make these talents inflate, and they really think that they are Wenqu stars who have descended to earth.

At the same time, after the Huamanlou incident happened, all the geniuses present that day were sprayed bloody by their classmates.The reason is that none of them can suppress a Huamanlou, and the sage books are all about dogs?

Dog: Wang?

I have never quarreled with a stupid person about this matter. In retrospect, I always feel where I should respond, where I should be righteous, and where I should understand the applause. Many people are irritable and eager. Come to line up with Huamanlou, and they are not angry when they heard that Huamanlou was not invited to this Shangyuan poetry meeting, but who would have thought that Huamanlou would come to the door by himself?

Among these people, the gifted scholar at the head is the one who just made a statement: Du Ziteng, the head of the Shaoxing government office in the tenth year of Guangxing.

Well, it's called Du Ziteng. The guy's name sounds confusing, and I don't know how his father got it...

It has to be said that the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces is full of culture, and there are often great talents. Therefore, the gold content of Shaoxing's case chief is much higher than that of other places. This dizzy came to the capital to visit famous teachers and prepare to take the exam. When he suddenly heard that there was a Huamanlou who could slap a lot of scholars in the capital, the head of the case Du became angry.

What was even angrier was that seeing Gu Xinghuai groveling and calling the poetry meeting a small gathering, isn't this admitting that people like himself are afraid of a martial artist?

So the chief of the case, Du, took the case on the spot and went to confront Huamanlou.

Zhao Gonghuo's little expert Ren saw someone show up, and he was immediately happy: "That's right, this man said well, you don't dare to fight, right? Also, Huamanlou is famous in the capital anyway." Poet, you didn’t invite him to hold a poetry meeting, whose face are you slapping?”

Hearing these words, the famous poet Hua Manlou has a black hair, the temperament of His Royal Highness...

Why is it getting more and more cheap?

But before Huamanlou could speak, Du Anshou sneered and said to Huamanlou: "Mr. Hua Qian, I have known you for a long time. I thought Mr. Qian was busy with work and didn't have time to come here to give advice to everyone, but I never thought Mr. Qian would not Please come here, but I was rude, and Du Mou made an apology to Mr. Qian."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that this guy was an old onmyoji.

First he mocked Huamanlou for coming uninvited, then he ridiculed Huamanlou for overthinking himself and wanting to give pointers to talented scholars present, and finally satirized his boss Gu Xinghuai for being cowardly, and even used words like "pointing everyone" to arouse the attention of those present. The minds of the crowd to attack...

Hua Manlou couldn't help but want to give this guy a thumbs up: Talent!

Likes are likes, but where are the fuel-efficient lamps that spend a lot of money?He was going out to sneak girls today, so it was an accident to appear here suddenly, but the chief of the case, Du, wanted to kick his nose in the face...

Is it true that the kind-hearted Huamanlou has no temper?

That's why Hua Manlou's one sentence made the chief of the case feel ashamed: "Who are you? Didn't you see that brother Gu and I are talking?"

"you!"

Where has Du Ziteng, who looks down on the world, seen this before?Since he was admitted to the top of the case, he has come and gone with either famous officials or high-ranking officials. He comes and goes like a star, and he is number one everywhere, but Hua Manlou is as if he has never heard of him. ...Oh, Huamanlou has never heard of him.

So, ignorance is more devastating than hatred, and Du Ziteng's arrogance was knocked down to the bottom in an instant.

And watching the confrontation between the two, some of the scholars showed disdain, some looked dignified, and some looked fierce, but a guy dressed as a scholar on a table in the corner almost laughed out loud: "Brother You're right, it's really a surprise to come here today, I'm afraid that after today, Du Ziteng will be as famous as Nie Yuantu, right?"

"This... is not what it means to be a brother..." The young man who spoke showed bitterness and depression on his face: Why did you meet Hua Manlou again?

That's right, these two are brother and sister from Wen Ge's hometown.

Although it is the Lantern Festival, but judging from Miss Wen's fear of the cold, the lights all over the street are not as attractive as the warm stove in her eyes. He took her out of the mansion under the hint of his father, although he said that he wanted her to go out to relax, but in fact he wanted her to come and have a look at the demeanor of Shaoxing's number one talented scholar.

Just because...

When Huamanlou went missing a few days ago, Miss Wen was even more anxious than Mr. Wenge herself. Although she understood that she was worried about the consequences of Da Zhao's loss of Huamanlou, Mr. Wenge was still afraid that she and Huamanlou were right. In a blink of an eye, his reputation was ruined for the rest of his life.

So Wen Liang's presence today, named Sanxin, actually contained the deep hope of an old father: Wouldn't it be nice to marry a scholar?

So seeing the little girl appreciatively looking at Huamanlou, who would deflate a certain case with just one sentence, Wen Yuchen immediately became angry: Du Caizi, Du Caizi, do you know what you missed today?

That's right, Wen Yuchen's resentment was directed at Du Ziteng, after all...

We all know that Huamanlou is not a good person, but you actually went up to him in a daze?Didn't you see that everyone didn't act rashly?

At this time, the host, Gu Xinghuai, scolded his mother in his heart, but on the surface he introduced Du Ziteng with a smile on his face, and then politely led Huamanlou to the table - Gu Xinghuai was not stupid, although he knew that today The scene was likely to be smashed, but he still didn't dare to hold grudges against Huamanlou, just because he was really shocked by what happened in the capital a few days ago.

After all, after Huamanlou was robbed, the factory guards worked together, and all the people in Beizhili who could be called were mobilized. ...I'm afraid that if a minister is lost, there will be no such movement, right?

Gu Xinghuai felt that Huamanlou was someone who could not be offended, so he was extremely polite.

So after the fairy was seated, Gu Xinghuai turned around and started the work of his atmosphere group: then played music and then danced... Bah, the poetry will continue!

217. One Sword Comes West to Ye Gu City

According to common sense, Gu Xinghuai would have to invite Huamanlou to sit in the upstairs box no matter what happened, but today is no different from the last time, Mr. Jia, the gold master, did not participate at all, so the two adjacent buildings were not taken down. Most of the people sitting in the upper box were the eldest ladies of officials' families, so looking around, Xiao Gu could only apologize while leading Huamanlou to a corner to take a seat.

That is to say, it happened to be right next door to the brothers and sisters of the Wen family, and the seat of Hua Man Lou happened to be next to Wen Liang, and the distance between them was less than three feet...

Well, it's a good distance to chat.

So it was a bit of a coincidence that Wen Yuchen wanted to change seats with Wen Liang on the spot, or got up and beat Gu Xinghuai: Do you think what you did was human?

What made Wen Yuchen even more mad was that Huamanlou was about to take a seat, and Wen Liang started talking to him: "Mr. Hua Qian, I have admired your name for a long time."

"Ah? Oh..." Hearing this greeting, Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment - unlike Du Ziteng's yin and yang weirdness before, Hua Manlou could hear that the greeting was not malicious, so he bowed his hands and returned the greeting after a pause: "You're being polite, may I ask your surname?"

"No expensive, Ye Gucheng."

"Ye... cough cough cough cough..."

Damn Ye Gucheng!

In the book "Lu Xiaofeng" by Mr. Gu Long, the classic characters created are not only Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows and one finger, Sikong, the king who steals the king, and Ximen Chuixue, the sword god. The lord of the city, Ye Gucheng, is also a legendary figure who forces Graman. Of course, the handsome and gentle blind man Huamanlou is also one of them, so...

Do you know how shocked Huamanlou was when he suddenly heard the name Ye Gucheng?

Seeing Hua Manlou's complexion changed drastically, Wen Liang couldn't help feeling a little unhappy: "Is there something wrong with my name?"

Hua Manlou was still in shock and said, "No...no, it's just...a sudden feeling of wanting to know the secret code, such as...the king of heaven and the tiger of heaven?"

"..."

"The palace jade liquid wine?"

"..."

"That...that's okay, excuse me."

Seeing that Wen Liang didn't match up, Hua Manlou felt relieved.

What a coincidence, I thought I met the same time traveler, but it turned out to be a coincidence!

Too scary!

Regardless of whether it is a taboo to double-wear, Hua Manlou just copying poems by himself is quite shameful. If someone is also a time-traveling person, how much psychological burden will he have to bear in the future?

Wen Liangning raised her eyebrows and looked at Hua Manlou who seemed relieved, always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out after much deliberation, so she classified this matter into the category that capable people must have eccentricities, so it was not right. After asking more questions, I continued to chat with Hua Manlou: "Why is Mr. Qian so interested in coming here for entertainment today? Could it be that he has a good poem again?"

After Hua Manlou was relieved, he was about to explain a few words to Zhao Ren, the young master of fire, to calm him down, but he heard this weird "Mr. Ye" chatting with him again, and the question was very sincere, so he replied: "Would you believe me when I said that I was forced to come here? Who has time to spend time with these sour mushrooms... Oh, I'm not talking about you."

It has to be said that Wen Liang's ability to pretend to be a man is enough to make it look like real ones. Not only did she cover up the contours of her face with makeup and make her eyebrows rough with eyebrow pencil, but she even changed her voice as much as possible, so that Huamanlou didn't even look like that at all. It can be seen that the person sitting next to her is a girl, so...

Wen Liang smiled slightly: "I didn't count myself on the side of Suan Confucianism, and from my point of view, when it comes to talent, no one present is as good as Mr. Qian."

Speaking of this, she still looked at Huamanlou sincerely and said, "I'm talking about the ability to manage the country and eliminate the troubles of the northern grassland with one hand, not the talent of poetry and writing, not to mention the literary talent of Mr. Qian is not low. .”

To be honest, Hua Manlou never expected that he could hear this kind of evaluation, and this evaluation came from a "scholar", so he immediately looked at "Ye Gucheng" with admiration - you know, even if Zhan Wala opened For a major event like the mutual market, Hua Manlou has never heard any pertinent comments from scholars, so that he despises these nerds more and more, but who knows that there is such a person among the nerds who can see things correctly ?

In addition, the tweeting order has not been announced until now, and the exchange market is still under the name of paying tribute, and those who know these two things are all the bigwigs at the core of Da Zhao's power, so...

Which family did this Ye Gucheng come from?

So Hua Manlou was not complacent at all, instead he asked Wen Liang a question with a smile: "Where did Brother Ye learn about this? Could it be... who is Brother Ye's proud student?"

Dress up as a scholar, who in Xungui's family can mix up with the circle of scholars?Didn't you see that Huamanlou, who is so talented, so talented and so rich, didn't mix in, so this Mr. Ye must be from Mr. Ge's side.

Hearing Huamanlou's words, she smiled warmly—this is what she wanted Huamanlou to think, after all, she still needs to communicate with her in the future, so how could she suddenly meet Huamanlou without any status? Full floor?

So she simply answered with one word: "Wen."

"I see." Hua Manlou nodded.

Although the Tweeting Order is a matter of extremely high confidentiality, Hua Manlou believes that not only Old Wen will talk to his disciples who value him highly, but the Dukes of the state will also talk to his heirs, not to mention Uncle Huai'an has been away for a long time now, so theoretically this matter is not too confidential, so it is also necessary to spread it in a certain circle-after the Tweeting Order, there must be some changes on the grassland, and the changes mean that Certain transfers, such as certain transactions with Tatars, require some people, so for such an important matter, wouldn’t it be the nephews of the disciples in the inner circle who make up for these vacancies?

After all, 'tribute', right...

As far as Wen Liang is concerned, with the status of "Wen Ge old doorman", contact with Hua Manlou is very smooth, so she smiled and asked Hua Manlou: "The incident of the black sheep falling from the sky a few days ago must be Is it also for Mr. Qian? What is the magical effect of that thing?"

"This... the technology is immature. Brother Ye is interested in this?" Hua Manlou didn't doubt Wen Liang's identity, but it's better not to talk nonsense about the hot air balloon. After all, Emperor Guangxing has already relied on Hua Manlou's It means that this matter is completely superstitious, in case this 'Ye Gongzi' is not strict...

Seeing him asking back, Wen Liang immediately figured out his concerns, and smiled and said, "Mr. Qian doesn't have to worry about this being leaked, because...even Wen Ge's son may not know about it."

Hua Manlou raised his eyebrows, but when he saw Wen Liang winking at him, he saw Wen Yuchen on the other side of the table with bared teeth and suddenly realized: You are the son of Old Wen Ge?

And Mr. Wen didn't expect that he was betrayed by his own sister at all, and he was angry on his own - the younger sister and Hua Manlou had a very happy chat, and they didn't know what they were talking about across the table. Can a son be a brother?

Seeing Hua Manlou's gaze, Wen Yuchen was about to intimidate Hua Manlou, but suddenly he heard Gu Xinghuai, who had finished the warm-up, say on stage: "...Then, today, let's start with the theme of Shangyuan Festival. How about composing a poem each?"

(Miss Wen's first confrontation with Huamanlou, how can it be called an old routine?)

218. Shame and Defeat Xingdu's Case

While Hua Manlou was chatting with Wen Liang, Zhao Ren looked around curiously. After all, the child hadn't seen much of the world—he really hadn't seen the world. Where would he go to participate in the poetry meeting?

After hearing that Gu Xinghuai's warm-up session was over and he posed a question, he pulled Hua Manlou who was chatting with Wen Liang across the table: "Hurry up, hurry up, show them the whole good song!"

Your Royal Highness, how can you look at other people's faces when you do things?Therefore, not only did he speak in a loud voice, but also his dancing and dancing did not give any face to all the scholars present, so he almost added: I am not targeting anyone, I mean that everyone present is a chicken...

So as soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes were on Huamanlou. If Zhao Ren hadn't been standing behind him with a few "long suits" with big arms and round waists, some people would have gotten up to talk to Huamanlou in a physical sense. up.

To be honest, without Zhao Ren's support, with Gu Xinghuai's warm-up, at least there would still be a poetry meeting, and everyone was a respectable person, so they wouldn't be madly targeting Huamanlou like the previous poetry meeting—after all Last time, everyone united to give Huamanlou a bad name, but today's incident suddenly didn't have time to unite. There are still some people who were ridiculed by Huamanlou last time.

But Zhao Ren was extremely hateful—he was very hateful to Huamanlou, and it even made all the scholars present soar to a higher level of fighting power, and most of them were angered by him...

Seeing this, Hua Manlou couldn't help touching his forehead and sighing: This pig teammate, if you weren't the prince, I would definitely smash your dog's head to pieces!who!

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Ren finished speaking, Du Ziteng stood up unwillingly and began to mock: "Since President Hua Qian wants to give me advice, why don't you compose a poem first?"

Hua Manlou glanced at Zhao Ren in disgust, and then turned to Du Ziteng who was mocking him.

To be honest, Hua Manlou was a little annoyed with the chief case.

That's right, Mr. Hua Qian has a kind heart, and Mr. Hua always adheres to the principle of being kind to others, but this does not mean that he likes to be slapped in the face from time to time: I threw your father into prison and concocted it Ah, did you still send your wife to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion?As for being so tit for tat?

And, let’s not mention Huamanlou’s good relationship with Emperor Guangxing and the crown prince, even the Duke of Dongchang is polite in front of him, but if there is no such relationship, Huamanlou is the son of the earl and the current fifth-rank military officer, you How dare a criminal who has just been admitted to Juren dare to run on someone?

So Hua Manlou looked at Du Ziteng obliquely and said, "I'll give you advice... right? Alright, I'll give you a guide here."

A group of people were stunned when they heard this: What the hell is this here to give advice?

"Listen well," Hua Manlou said coldly, without changing his expression, "Everywhere is dressed in costumes and make-up, and the lights on Sixth Street make children noisy."

These two lines of poems come from Yuan Wen of the Yuan Dynasty, and they are written about the lively scene on the Lantern Festival Street at that time, so Huamanlou used it in a graceful manner, and the usage is neither abrupt nor jerky, just right. In response to the grand occasion on the street today.

And as the saying goes, experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. Although these two sentences are just the beginning, they can summarize the lively scene of the capital in fourteen words. Can this level be simple?

So when Hua Manlou opened his mouth, a group of scholars with outstanding literary talents gasped on the spot: This stuff is really not simple!

Of course, whether the poem is good or not depends on the second half of the poem. Of course, if the second half of the poem is too hip, it will not be able to convince the public, so everyone is calm and afraid of being misunderstood.

So Huamanlou spoke in this weird silence: "Who is the head of the long gown? Shame on the poetry club."

Absolutely.

It has to be said that the second half of the original poem is "what should I do in a long gown, also in the jokes of tourists", which means: what am I, a plain scholar, doing?Also enjoy it in the atmosphere of laughter and laughter of tourists.

But Huamanlou refused to copy directly—poetry, isn’t a lot of poems just copied and changed?

So he changed it easily, and the meaning became: what is the desk leader in the long gown doing?It's embarrassing at the poetry meeting.
