When he heard Li Chengyou calling for dinner, Ling Yun did not hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and quickly put the dishes on the table into his mouth.
"Hmm...it smells so good." Ling Yun muttered with satisfaction.
Sure enough, official cooks are different and extra particular.
This braised pork is so soft and delicious that it melts in your mouth. Once you swallow it, it goes down the digestive tract and into your stomach with a slurp, leaving a trace of meaty aroma on your lips and teeth.
Ling Yun couldn't help but speed up the process of picking up the food. The food wouldn't taste good when it was cold, so he had to eat it quickly while it was hot.
Ling Yun was minding his own business and kept stuffing things into his mouth, which made his cheeks bulge, which was really cute.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he looks like a naughty and cute child.
After all, he is only ten years old, with a childish face and a satisfied smile.
But in the eyes of some prejudiced people, that's another story.
Generally speaking, when eating on such occasions, the people below are somewhat trepidatious. After all, the people above are academic administrators and prefects.
One was sent from the capital, and the other was a parent official in a local government, and they themselves carried the pressure of the officialdom.
Therefore, most of the students present today are timid, fearing that if they are not careful, they will lose their manners in front of important people.
Ling Yun is no exception. He drinks wine slowly and listens to all directions.
After three rounds of wine, five tastes of food.
The students off the field could not help but compete in order to show their abilities in front of the two big men.
Suddenly, a man stood up from the desk, shook his robe, and looked energetic and graceful.
He put his hands together, bowed slightly, cupped his hands towards Li Chengyou and said, "Sir, today is the day when all the outstanding people in Anzhou Prefecture gather together. If we just drink and eat food, it would be a bit boring? How about we all behave like this?"
Friends Wen, how about adding some fun?"
I heard from Wang Jinghui that this man's name was Gao Shijing, and he had a good background. His father was the county magistrate of Lin'an County, Anzhou Prefecture, and his uncle was an official in the capital.
Gao Shijing's words and deeds were quite majestic. Faced with the pressure of the two adults, he dared to stand up and speak, which said everything.
He is not afraid of such situations, and can even handle them calmly and with ease.
Li Huairen glanced at Li Chengyou above, who nodded.
Li Huairen understood, looked at the dignified Gao Shijing, and said with a smile, "Tell me, what are the specific rules for making friends through literature?"
"Sir, it's obviously not appropriate to make a fuss today. How about we make friends with poems? What do you think?" Gao Shijing replied calmly.
While talking, he didn't forget to turn around and look at the people below to ask.
It seemed like he was asking, but his tone was full of doubts, and he obviously didn't give them a chance to refuse.
Looking at the rather powerful Gao Shijing below, Li Huairen was hesitant and looked at Li Chengyou hesitantly.
Li Chengyou leaned forward slightly and stared at Gao Shijing condescendingly. His eyes were so sharp that Gao Shijing couldn't help but trembled and sweat started to form on his forehead.
He looked arrogant just now, but now his head slowly dropped, his body drooped, and he did not dare to look at him for fear of touching his tiger beard.
Just when everyone thought he was about to be punished, Li Chengyou opened his mouth and uttered only one word, "Accurate."
As soon as these words came out, Gao Shijing breathed a sigh of relief, and he was already sweating profusely behind him.
Ling Yun covered his mouth and became happy when he saw this. He didn't know what to say to him. As a member of a family of officials, he spoke aggressively.
Even when facing Li Chengyou and Li Chengyou, there was not much respect in his words, and he looked self-righteous. Those who didn't know it thought he had the final say here.
"Brothers, what do you think if we don't compose a poem on the spot?" Apparently after being taught a lesson by Li Chengyou, Gao Shijing's tone softened.
"Okay, okay..." As soon as Gao Shijing finished speaking, others responded.
It seems that he has forgotten what happened just now.
In fact, those who agree also have their own little thoughts and calculations.
By writing poems, you can show yourself in front of Li Chengyou and Li Chengyou. Wouldn’t it be beautiful if your own poems could be commented by both of them?
It would be a blessing if you get reviews and spread the word, adding to your reputation.
"Then compose a poem!" Seeing that Li Chengyou remained silent, Li Huairen agreed to Gao Shijing's suggestion.
Seeing that Li Huairen readily agreed, Gao Shijing did not say anything immediately. Instead, he glanced at Li Chengyou cautiously and found that he had no intention of stopping him. Then he said with confidence, "If you want to come to Anzhou Prefecture, there will be many Yazhu, but if you don't, it will be Yazhu."
How about writing a poem about bamboo as the title, and then let the two adults and seniors comment on it?"
"That's very good." Li Huairen nodded.
Several reviewers below Li Huairen also nodded in agreement. It seemed that they were very satisfied with the question of Yongzhu.
It seems that after being taught a lesson by Li Chengyou, Ko Se Kyung really curbed his arrogance.
Ling Yun was filled with admiration from the bottom of his heart. He really had an extraordinary background and his personality could be controlled so freely. He couldn't help but think highly of him.
He originally thought that Gao Shijing was just a second-generation ancestor, and he was so aggressive when he opened his mouth that he didn't even take the two adults above him seriously.
Looking back now, I see that he is by no means an idle person. He is a thoughtful and capable person, and his future achievements will probably not be too low.
"Today I am meeting friends with poems. Although all of you here are talented people in high school, they are ranked in order. Although I, Gao Shijing, am the second best person, I don't dare to do anything overstepping my bounds. Therefore, as the first person, we still have to ask the head of the case.
First, what do you say, sir?" Gao Shijing said, thinking about the people around him, and after speaking, he did not forget to ask Li Huairen for instructions.
"Yes, yes..." Everyone agreed upon hearing this.
Then they all looked up at Li Chengyou, but to their surprise, Li Chengyou remained silent.
Everyone looked at Li Huairen again. The latter thought for a moment and then decided, "Well. That's true. Let's start with the head of the case!"
Hearing this, Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with turmoil. Ten thousand greetings with stars passed through Gao Shijing's face.
I thought he was sitting here eating politely without saying a word, just because he didn't want anyone to notice his presence.
When he came in, he deliberately chose the seat at the far edge.
I just wanted to be invisible at the banquet, but I didn't expect that I would still be kicked out in the end.
[Author's digression]: The third update. If I have time later, I will add a chapter in the early morning. Because today I have been thinking about what will happen after Ling Yun returns home. Do you know? Hehe!!!
This chapter has been completed!
