marquis of jingan

Chapter 117
As soon as the young man in white appeared on the stage, many people recognized his identity.

Hongde's Juren for three years, Du Shen, a well-known talent in the capital.

Although Du Shen was not yet a Jinshi, his poem name spread throughout Jiankang City, and he became the number one poetic talent in the new dynasty.

The so-called new dynasty refers to the Hongde dynasty since Emperor Hongde came to the throne.

Du Shen participated in Hongde's three-year provincial examination, but he did not participate in the next year's examination. According to his own statement, if he participated in Hongde's four-year examination, he would be a second-class Jinshi at most, so he planned to polish it again. Three years, seven years in Hongde to take the exam, to fight for the top.

Because of this wild statement, Du Shen's reputation in Jiankang City has increased a lot, and he basically has several masterpieces every year, which can be regarded as the most popular talent in Jiankang City in recent years.

At this moment, Du Caizi stood on the stage, looked around, took a deep breath, and began to chant poems in a cadenced tone.

"Qin Huai said nothing to the setting sun."

"Every family faces the water with red makeup."

After reciting these two lines of poems, Du Shen looked around at the crowd again, and continued to speak: "The spring breeze does not know how to change the beauty, and it still sings happily around the boat."

Du Caizi's state is a bit fanatical.

With a very excited tone, he finished reading this poem, or this paragraph of words.

Standing on the stage of the Xiaoxiang Building, he still looked up at Pei Yuan and Pei Shilang, and then at the dignitaries present, with a resounding voice: "Originally Du had a humble work, but after hearing this poem, Du's work will be It's unbearable to hear, this poem has won my heart!"

He looked around, his voice heavy.

"One Jiazi passed, no matter whether it was the lords in the court or the lords here, they only dared to sing the wind and enjoy the moon on the Qinhuai River, and they dared not look north at all!"

"The spring breeze of the Qinhuai River today is still blowing the boat without knowing the shame of crossing south before Jiazi, but we Chen people are not ignorant of the spring breeze, and the changes of Jiazi should be kept in mind!"

After finishing speaking, Du Caizi spoke in a deep voice.

"Unless the river and mountains are restored, Du will never enter the Qinhuai River Fireworks Land again!"

After saying this, he was about to walk away.

On the main stage, Pei Shilang frowned and did not speak.

Another official from the Ministry of Rites stood up. He looked at Du Shen and shouted in a low voice, "Du Shen, the imperial court has its own ideas. You are not an official, how dare you discuss the imperial court at the Shangyuan Grand Meeting!"

"Do you want to mess with the government with poetry!"

This hat is buttoned up very big.

But Du Shen was not afraid. He looked back at the official of the Ministry of Rites and held his head high: "Du said earlier that this poem was not written by me, but it is completely in line with my wishes, so I read it at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference." Come out, I am from Jiankang, and I live in Jiankang City, if Qian Langzhong thinks that what I have done has violated the laws of the country, I will let Jiankang Mansion come to my house tomorrow to arrest him!"

After speaking, Du Caizi walked away in a huff.

After Du Shen left, the atmosphere at the Shangyuan Poetry Club became awkward.

The event, which was originally very lively, was very difficult to continue after Du Shen made such a fuss.

After all, among the people living in Jiankang City, especially those noble people, seven or eight out of ten ancestors came from Nandu. Du Shen talked about this matter face to face, if they can continue to "entertain" , then it’s a slap in the face of the ancestors.

So, after Du Shen left, people left one after another.

Qian Langzhong from the Ministry of Rites first glanced at his superior, then slightly lowered his head to Pei Shilang, and said, "My lord, how do you think this matter will end today?"

Pei Yuan sat in the main seat, his face was a little unsightly.

After he was silent for a while, he snorted: "It's just a direct invitation to the famous people. It's not uncommon in all dynasties. Not a single Jinshi has been successful. He only dances and writes at home on weekdays. How can he understand the government and the current situation? "

"The mouse is short-sighted!"

After saying this, Pei Shilang also stood up, with a displeasure on his face, and walked away.

Seeing that his boss had left, Qian Langzhong didn't want to stay for long, and he also left Xiaoxiang Tower after Pei Shilang.

For a moment, the atmosphere present became very awkward.

However, the owner of Xiaoxiang Tower still has some background after all. Although the two big bosses of the Ministry of Rites and some nobles have left one after another, the Shangyuan Poetry Fair is still going on, but the atmosphere has become a little awkward, and it is far less lively than before.

Just when Du Shen was making a big fuss at the Shangyuan Poetry Fair, Shen Yi, the eldest son, was also by the Qinhuai River.

In the afternoon, he met Gu Changshi at Jin Wangfu Chief Shi Si, and left after talking for a while. In the evening, his father Shen Zhang gave him a dozen taels of silver and asked him to come to Shangyuan Poetry Association Take a turn and relax.

Although Shen Yi didn't like to join in the fun and didn't plan to participate in any poetry fairs to become famous, he was still interested in "investigating the market" while out shopping. In the evening, he brought Xu Fu to the bank of the Qinhuai River.

At this time, the Qinhuai River has been turned into a "river of lights" by countless river lanterns. Many girls are still squatting by the river in groups, putting the river lanterns with their wishes into the water.

Most of the girls who put up the lanterns are fifteen or sixteen years old, just at the age of spring, so many of these river lanterns are love things, and many of them have written the first half of a love poem, hoping to pick them up. The man who arrived at Hedeng made up the first half of the sentence.

And in the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River, many mischievous teenagers are hooking river lanterns with hooks, and then take out the beautiful wishes of girls from the river lanterns, and then a few young teenagers circulated them happily, and some people guessed that they got the girl they like. He Deng, holding the note firmly in his arms, would not give it to anyone who would snatch it.

Shen Yi and Xu Fu walked along the Qinhuai River, looked at the river lanterns along the river, and the boys and girls playing and playing, couldn't help laughing and said: "If such a prosperous scene lasts for a long time, it's not a bad thing, as long as It's a pity that only the Jiangzuo area can see such a scenery."

Xu Fu followed behind Shen Yi, and after hearing Shen Yi's words, he asked, "Young master, don't you want to guess the lantern riddles?"

"No guess no guess."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "Those are only guessed by bringing girls here, we two men, what's the point of guessing?"

"Let's investigate whether Jiankang's business is doing well or not, that's the only way to be serious."

Xu Fu followed behind Shen Yi, hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head to Shen Yi and said, "Young Master, you brought me here that day, and after you left, I went to the Qinhuai River to have a look and saw the scene of the Qinhuai River in the evening. The poem I recited was exactly the same, so I couldn't help but read it out..."

Shen Yi was a little surprised, looked back at Xu Fu, and said in a joking tone: "What? Could it be that Xiao Xu, you are the son of destiny, and the recitation of poems was listened to by the big man, and you want to be promoted?"

"That's not..."

Xu Fu shook his head, and said: "It's just that that day, there was a young man standing next to me, he seemed a little crazy, after hearing the last two sentences I read, he came up and insisted that I read the whole poem to him. After I read it, he also said that he would take me to some Shangyuan poetry meeting..."

Having said that, Xu Fu scratched his head, and said, "I heard that there are many bad guys and scammers in Jiankang City, so I ignored him, turned around and ran away."

After listening to what Xu Fu said, Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then he didn't care too much, shook his head slightly and said: "Since you didn't leave your name and surname, there shouldn't be anything wrong with you. The only thing that matters is that a poem was copied."

Shen Qilang said calmly.

"I don't lack these things."
