Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 63

The two brothers of the Qin family greeted their friends and entered the Moon Tower.

As soon as he entered the Wangyue Tower, Qin Guan heard someone shout: "Brother Shaoyou, brother Shaoyou."

Qin Guan followed the sound and saw that it was his good friend Zheng Da, and there were several classmates he knew well beside him.

"Brother, I'll go over there and have a look."

Qin Wei nodded, "I saw the same year too, go over and say hello."

The two parted, Qin Guan went to sit down at Zheng Da's table, Zheng Da came over and said, "Brother Shaoyou, do you have some good poems for this Qixi Festival, the few poems you made before We are looking forward to your poems as it spreads across Hangzhou and even south of the Yangtze River, and we think Brother Qin will be able to ascend the third floor this year."

Qin Guan was taken aback, "What went up to the third floor?"

Seeing that Qin Guan didn't understand, Zheng Da thought that Qin Guan had never participated in the student poetry meeting before, so he might not know the rules, so he immediately explained it to Qin Guan.

"Because there are too many students invited in previous years, whoever sits on the first floor will sit on the second floor, or even who can go up to the third floor, and sit with you adults and the elders. In previous years, there was no rule. The prefect and several other adults will sit together. Discuss the decision."

"Think about it, the students who come here, who don't want to show off in front of the adults and the elders in Hangzhou Mansion, who don't want to go up to the third floor, will naturally be entrusted by someone, hoping to go to a higher level."

"However, if there are too many entrustments, some people will criticize them. Therefore, from the year before last, the prefect Lin changed the rules. All the literati who participated in the poetry gatherings organized by the prefect's yamen, all sat on the first floor from the beginning."

"Master Zhifu, a group of officials, and the elders, go directly to the third floor."

"As for other students, they use poetry to judge their grades. They write a poem and are selected by the adults. Those who are selected can go up to the second floor. Those who are on the second floor can write another poem. Those who are selected can go up to the third floor. Sit and drink with your lords."

Qin Guan thought to himself, this group of literati is really troublesome, there are so many stinking rules, they have a drink and participate in a poetry meeting, what kind of selection contest is there.

However, it seems that the ancients took it easy and made all kinds of weird rules, and they never got tired of it.

"Brother Shaoyou, you should have prepared it before." Zheng Da looked at Qin Guan and asked.

"what to prepare?"

"Of course I'm preparing poems."

Qin Guan asked suspiciously: "Shouldn't it be done on the spot?"

Qin Guan felt that if poetry can be composed, it is natural to be like Cao Zhi, who can compose poetry in seven steps, and the inspiration burst out on the spot.

A student next to him looked at Qin Guan in astonishment, and said, "Brother Qin, even if you are participating in a poetry meeting, how many people will compose poems on the spot? A poem often has to go through thousands of honing and careful carving before it can be shown to others. You Do you really think everyone is Cao Zijian?"

Another person said: "In many poetry meetings, someone writes a good poem and wants to make it famous, and then invites classmates and friends to hold a poetry meeting and take the opportunity to promote his poems. Who is not like this."

These words stunned Qin Guan, it turned out that the ancients all played like this.

It seems to be a little different from what I imagined.

Seeing Qin Guan's appearance, Zheng Da worriedly asked: "Brother Shaoyou is really unprepared, right?"

"Aren't you ready?" Qin Guan glanced around at his tablemates.

Everyone else nodded. Zheng Da said, "I have prepared two songs. I don't expect to go to the third floor. I just hope that I can go to the second floor this year."

Qin Guan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "It's okay, I'll just write poetry on the spot, if I can't do it, I'll just watch a show."

At this time, Zheng Da hesitated for a moment, and whispered in Qin Guan's ear, "Brother Shaoyou, don't take it lightly. I heard that someone outside has already spread that you are Jiangnan's "Little Poet Fairy" and lifted you up high." , if you don’t write one or two good poems this time, I’m afraid you will be laughed at, and your reputation will be greatly damaged.” Zheng Da said.

Qin Guan was very surprised, "'Xiao Shi Xian', is there such a rumor?" He didn't go out for a few days, and he really didn't know that he had such a name.

Just as I was about to ask, I heard a commotion in the hall.

"Brother Yichen is here."

"Oh, President Shen is here."

"Brother Xing."

Qin Guan was curious about who had such a big battle, and could make the students in the hall greet one after another.Following the sound, I saw a few people walking in at the gate of Wangyue Tower. The leader was a young man who was also wearing a Yuebai Scholar's robe. , it can be seen that this person is very energetic.

At this time, many people in the hall stood up to say hello, Qin Guan also noticed that among the people behind this person, there was an acquaintance of Qin Guan, Liu Su and Liu Chunyuan.

"Well, I should have prepared a few good poems this time, and we can appreciate Xingzhi's masterpiece again."

"Mr. Shen is known as the number one talented person in Hangzhou, and his poetry is naturally good. This time, Mr. Shen will definitely win the first place at the Qixi Festival."

"As soon as Brother Shen comes, it seems that we have no chance again."

For this Shen Yichen, Qin Guan didn't have any impression in his original memory, and curiously asked Zheng Da next to him, "What's the origin of this Shen Yichen?"

Zheng Da said: "Shen Yichen, with the right words, was the first case in the court trial the year before last, and this person is known for his literary talents, and he is very famous in Hangzhou, and he is known as the number one talented person in Hangzhou."

"The number one genius?"

Qin Guan was surprised, the number one talented scholar in Hangzhou, that's amazing.

He asked curiously: "Could it be that he is the most powerful in Hangzhou, has he not produced any first talent before?"

"No, the number one talented person is not fixed to one person. There were naturally some in the past. It's just that those people who passed the exam or got older will naturally give up this title."

"So it is."

At this moment, Qin Guan suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, followed his gaze, and met a pair of slightly gloomy eyes, it was Liu Su.

Then Liu Su said something in Shen Yichen's ear, Shen Yichen also looked over, and met Qin Guan again.

Shen Yichen looked at Qin Guan a few times, and to Qin Guan's surprise, Shen Yichen cupped his hands at Qin Guan and said hello.

Qin Guan felt slightly surprised, and then secretly laughed in his heart, this Shen Yichen was a little interesting.Qin Guan was not rude either, and nodded and smiled back at the other party.

At this moment, there was a loud shout from outside the door.

"Admiral Cui is here, Prefect Lin is here, General Judge Li is here, Hangzhou Zhongwu General Liu is here, Hangzhou Fuxue Dr. Yan, Cheng, and Li are here, all the gentlemen and veterans here."

With loud shouts, a group of people walked in from the door, and all the students in the hall stood up one after another, saluting to the officials who came in.

The few officials who came here this time did not wear official robes, but were all dressed in casual scribes.
