Dao Fruit

Wen Zhizhen, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, stole the show tonight. Along the way, he was the focus of everyone's attention, whether he was looking at the lights on the road, guessing riddles along the way, or currently attending the attic cultural gathering.

But after he heard what Qi Jiulian and others said, he got rid of everyone's compliments and came over to ask about Qiu Yan.

It can be seen that his expression is a little stiff.

It's no wonder that although Wen Zhizhen has been living in Jiangnan, he has heard Bai Zhaoyuan's name for a long time and knows that he is a leader of the younger generation. He has always had the idea of ​​​​competing with him. This time when he came here, he secretly regarded him as a leader. Opponents are about to stage a battle between dragons and tigers.

Therefore, after Wen Zhizhen saw Bai Zhaoyuan's interest, although he knew that the other party had made great gains in Shilin, he was not afraid. It should be noted that he also had his own fate in Jiangnan.

It is precisely when you meet your opponent in chess that you can show your ability.

But at this moment, an unexpected figure appeared, standing side by side with Bai Zhaoyuan in the night sky, and they were opposite each other!

Just by looking at the reactions of several courtyard masters, Wen Zhizhen knew that his limelight for the whole night had been completely suppressed by the scene of just a few breaths!

How could he allow this to happen?

"You want to go find Qiu Yan too?" Qi Jiulian frowned and sneered, "Shouldn't a great talent like you stay here, outsmart the others and leave a good story? What are you going to do with Qiu Yan? "

Qi Jiulian became famous at a young age and was inevitably arrogant. When he was invited by the Zhang family in Jiannan, he accidentally met Qiu Yan. He was repeatedly frustrated and full of hostility towards Qiu Yan. However, he was beaten a lot and his temperament changed a lot. Although He still regards Qiu Yan as his opponent and target, but deep down in his heart, he also has admiration.

Calligraphy is a skill for which he is proud of others. He was defeated in the aspect that he was most proud of, but he also received guidance. After returning, he made further progress in calligraphy. The various aspects in it are really not enough for outsiders to understand.

In contrast, tonight he lost to Wen Zhizhen, but the opponent looked aloof, which aroused Qi Jiulian's rebellious mentality. Especially after comparing with Qiu Yan, he felt that this Wen Zhizhen was far more generous in terms of magnanimity. If I don't like Qiu Yan, I don't have any good impressions.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Qianru's voice came to his ears: "Qi Jiulian, please speak more politely. Mr. Wen has surpassed the rest tonight in terms of skills and left a good story."

Wen Zhizhen shook his head and said: "Miss Pang is joking. Wen is just feeling something from her heart today. How can she be said to be superior in skill to others? Everyone present is a rare talent and a country's wise man. Playing chess, calligraphy and painting can cultivate one's sentiments. The poems and songs show the literary thoughts in our hearts, but the reason why we study is to express our ambitions. We really have to wait until the examination to determine the difference. "

Although Pang Qianru is dressed as a man, she can't hide her beauty. She is a rare beauty. When she comes here, she naturally attracts attention. The scholars around her will take a peek or two from time to time, so she said "Skills" After saying the words "overwhelm the crowd", the other scholars also understood clearly.

At this time, Wen Zhizhen's words made everyone feel happy after listening to them, and their favorable impressions of him greatly increased.

"Master Wen is so humble and graceful." After hearing this, Xu Ran looked at Wen Zhizhen's figure, Xiafei's cheeks, and his eyes were filled with sparkles.

"Hmph! Hypocrisy!" Qi Jiulian snorted coldly. He didn't have much achievements in writing classics and meanings. What he was most good at was calligraphy. "It's so nice to say it. Isn't it just relying on knowing a few articles? Are you denouncing calligraphy as a minor thing? I won't argue with you. Since we have to take the imperial examination to see the outcome, why should we recommend Qiu Yan? We can meet Qiu Yan in the imperial examination by then. Wouldn’t it be nice to make friends through literature and tell the difference?”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and chuckled: "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. After seeing the giant ape's light and shadow, I know that Qiu Yan is about to become famous, so you want to use him as a stepping stone?"

"Wen has a good reputation and there is nothing to hide." Wen Zhizhen shook his head and behaved like a magnanimous gentleman, "However, Mr. Qiu showed his ability when Bai Zhaoyuan was riding the horse and made a plan to fight against each other. The appearance may not be intentional to enhance momentum.”

Pang Qianru also said: "Well, that's the reason. Qiu Yan didn't take action earlier or later. He waited until Bai Zhaoyuan's identity was revealed before taking advantage of the opportunity to show up. Maybe he wanted to take advantage of the east wind, and I think he was in Dongdu. All the actions were done with the intention of building up momentum." As she spoke, she glanced at Song Qian.

Qi Jiulian said sternly: "It is natural to cultivate oneself and learn, practice Tao in the world and then gain fame; but to learn but not to ask questions, and to regard talent and learning as a tool to gain fame, is to do it deliberately. Apart from a little fame, what else is there?”

Pang Qianru looked at Qi Jiulian with a look of surprise, and then said: "You can actually say such a truth, I have to look at you with admiration."

The solemn look on Qi Jiulian's face disappeared, he scratched his head and said: "This was actually said by my grandfather, I just kept it in my heart."

Pang Qianru nodded and laughed: "Mr. Taixu's words are to persuade you to learn, not to indulge in calligraphy alone."

Qi Jiulian's face suddenly turned ugly.

At this time, Xu Ran finally couldn't help but said: "Where is the Qiu Yan you are talking about? Is this person very powerful?" As she said that, she couldn't help but glance at Jizheng.

She listened to everyone's words word for word. She didn't react at first, but she soon remembered that the person Jizheng asked her to find was named Qiu Yan.

However, there was one thing that Xu Ran couldn't understand. It was Wen Zhizhen who was clearly showing off his skills tonight, and everyone around him was pretending to be like stars holding the moon in front of him, to compliment Wen Zhizhen. Why did these people around him suddenly... Speaking of Qiu Yan, especially Qi Jiulian, the meaning in his words was clearly to praise Qiu Yan and belittle Wen Zhizhen. How could this satisfy her?

Immediately, Xu Ran started to defend Wen Zhizhen: "Then Qiu Yan is so powerful, why didn't he even come to the literary meeting? Don't you know that this is a rare opportunity? You can get guidance from many hospital leaders and exchange ideas with other people. How can I still listen to Mr. Wen's masterpieces?" As she spoke, she thought of Jizheng and fell silent, but the unconvinced expression on her face did not change at all.

In fact, not only Xu Ran, after Wen Zhizhen came over, many scholars, Confucian scholars, and scholars who respected him highly also came over, and they also heard the conversation between Qi Jiulian, Pang Qianru, and Wen Zhizhen. They all felt that Qi Jiulian had exaggerated.

"The Qiu Yan you are talking about is the person who had a long discussion with Mr. He in Dongdu a while ago. He is a good eloquent, but he may not have real talent or learning."

"Oh? I have also heard of this name. It is said that it is favored by Mr. Chen. Being valued by Mr. Chen must not be a waste of fame. I just heard that he has not been admitted to the academy. He is probably the kind of person who studies hard. People only know the poor scriptures and the bright heads."

"That's not true. I came from Jiannan. This Qiu Yan is Jieyuan from Jiannan. In addition to his good knowledge, his calligraphy skills are also amazing. Mr. Zhang from Yuanning got his calligraphy treasure. He cherished it very much and refused to show it to others. I I was lucky enough to see it once. It is really extraordinary. Even if compared to the two works by Wen Gongzi today, it is not an exaggeration..."

…

Everyone was talking like this. At first, many people were filled with indignation, but as you spoke word by word, you actually described a character with profound knowledge, amazing calligraphy, and unparalleled eloquence, and the atmosphere gradually became weird.

"According to this, this Qiu Yan is not an ordinary person. Why didn't he come to the literary conference today?"

Qi Jiulian listened to the fun and couldn't help laughing. Looking at Xu Ran who looked embarrassed and unhappy, he said: "How about it? If you are still dissatisfied, don't go to Qiu Yan now to save the impact. He prepares for the exam, and when the time comes for the imperial examination, it will be clear who is better."

"Even if Qiu Yan is great, what does it have to do with you?" Xu Ran frowned and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Didn't you still lose to Mr. Wen?"

Qi Jiulian's face immediately turned red. He noticed the gazes of the people around him and felt a little difficult to step down. In the end, he could only say: "Qiu Yan once taught me some tips and let me review them. If this is the imperial examination, Qiu Yan will surpass me." Above all, if I study his experience in the future, I may not be able to win against Wen Zhizhen!"

Xu Ran frowned and was about to say something else when a gentle and jade-like voice came from the side——

"You know a lot about this Qiu Yan, can you tell us about it?"

Several people followed the sound and looked, but what they caught sight of was the courtyard masters. They came over at some point. The leader was an elegant man in his forties.

Xingjing, like Dongdu, is a place where great fortunes gather. There are academies all over the place. There are also great Confucian scholars and sage halls. However, these academies are located in the capital and have many connections with the forces in the DPRK. In order to avoid being involved, all the academies can be called A person with a high degree of Confucianism would not be able to serve as the head of the academy easily.

Therefore, among the presidents who appeared here, there were no people with amazing literary skills, but most of them were outstanding people with a literary heart, representing the trend of the literary world in Xingjing. They asked Qiu Yan like this, which immediately made people pay attention. stand up.

However, before Qi Jiulian and others could elaborate, several exclamations suddenly came from the crowd——

"Old Prime Minister Zhang!"

But someone suddenly noticed that at the stairs of the attic, someone was helping an old man to walk up slowly. The old man looked haggard, but his eyes were bright. Who could it be if it wasn't the Prime Minister holding the chain?

"It turns out that the rumors are true. There really is a prime minister here to judge Pinwen!"

The next moment, all the scholars present became excited, and some were very active. After seeing Zhang Lian, they thought of other things.

"The examination is coming soon, and the ministers will not easily come into contact with the candidates or examinees, unless the examiner who will preside over the examination is selected..."

Amid everyone's different thoughts, the chain slowly opened its mouth -

"Tell me about Qiu Yan's matter." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
