Anqing Fucheng has an extraordinary majesty, like a tiger crouching in Pingyang. The tall city gate tower is like a tiger's mouth, swallowing up any passing pedestrians and vehicles.
If Huaining County is prosperous, then Anqing Fucheng is bustling.
Even at night, it is still bustling, and the night market is crowded with people, making it like a city that never sleeps.
Unless you have truly come to this era, it would be difficult to imagine that such a dynasty could be so prosperous. This is just a county town. There are provincial cities and capital cities above. It is difficult to imagine how prosperous the capital city under the emperor's feet will be. Of course.
, this kind of prosperity is antique prosperity, which is different from the modern prosperity, but it is more shocking.
The government examination was held in Anqing Fucheng, and students and scholars from all counties who passed the county examination gathered together. The area was so large that the stinking problem of scholars being indifferent to each other became apparent. They didn't say "No one is first in literature, no second in martial arts" or something like that.
Yes, students and scholars from various counties and even towns formed a group and looked down upon students and scholars from other counties and towns, and the overt and covert fights continued.
Zhu Ping'an, one of the top fifty students in Huaining County, received special attention from students and scholars from other counties and towns. Henceforth, the poem about being bitten by a snake and hearing the singing of birds, and the behavior of eating lunch and taking a nap in the examination room
, living in a woodshed, etc. were all dug out.
Then, the students and scholars in other counties and towns became as excited as if they had drunk half a kilo of old wine.
I don’t even know how to write poems. I ate, drank and took a lunch break during the exam. Haha, you can get a top spot in Huaining County. If you were in our county, you would never even think about the first round of the exam. The level of Huaining County is just
To this extent.
Isn't this the target given to us by God?
There are only so many places in the entire Anqing Prefecture that can pass the prefectural examination. If Huaining County has a bad reputation, the prefect will naturally have to consider it. Then won't we have more opportunities in other counties.
As a result, interested students and scholars in other counties began to inquire about more information about Zhu Pingan, including his appearance and preferences, etc., waiting for an opportunity to make a big embarrassment to the entire Huaining County.
Hard work pays off
So, it was only on the fifth day after Zhu Pingan settled in Anqing Fucheng that when Zhu Pingan was dragged by his uncle and several other villagers to a restaurant to meet his uncle's friends, he was beaten by some students and scholars from other counties.
One was blocked.
The uncle's friend is the uncle's friend from the county town before, and the mentor is the one who taught at the county school. The uncle's friend also passed the county examination and became a Tongsheng, but failed the college examination again and again, because Tongsheng did not need to
He was taking part in the county examination and the government examination, so my uncle's friends have been hanging out in Anqing Prefecture these days, waiting to go to the provincial capital to take the college examination.
The restaurant is a famous restaurant in Anqing Prefecture. Its name is: Jingxian Tower. It is located in a prime location of Anqing Prefecture. It is large in scale and magnificently decorated. The interior is exquisitely furnished. There are gorgeously dressed maids inside. The servants are constantly coming and going, calling people to climb up the stairs.
guests.
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Pingan entered Jingxian Tower with his uncle and others, he heard a surprise cheer and was blocked by someone.
"You can't find anything even after you've worn iron shoes. Aren't these some of the great talents in Huaining County?"
"It just so happens that we, our students in Taihu, Wangjiang and other counties, are having a poetry meeting in full swing. The only flaw is that you and other Huaining people are in the ointment. To meet you at this moment is like a welcome rain after a long drought."
Several young scholars holding folding fans and handsomely dressed blocked the way forward and retreat for Zhu Pingan and others, and without any explanation, they gathered around them and went upstairs.
Downstairs is the human world, and upstairs is heaven.
When Zhu Ping'an went upstairs, he happened to see the singer upstairs who was as light as a swallow, with red sleeves dancing, and a lotus step on the waist of a willow in the wind. Suddenly, the water sleeves were flung open, and the sleeves were dancing, as if there were countless petals floating down in the sky.
, swaying, petal by petal, holding wisps of agarwood.
It was completely different from modern singing and dancing. Out of the novelty, Zhu Pingan took a second look.
But in the eyes of caring people, this is like a country bumpkin from a remote mountainous area who has never seen the world. He is just a singer and is obsessed with it. How can he reach the most elegant halls?
Sure enough, it was exactly what I asked about, and some students and scholars from other counties upstairs looked at each other and smiled.
"Ahem, cough, cough, we are here to meet our friends this time. Next time, next time we will come to participate in the poetry meeting." Uncle Zhu Shouren saw students and scholars from other counties upstairs sitting at seven or eight tables. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he said
Decline politely.
A long-sleeved student from Jiangning County who was good at dancing laughed when he heard this and said: "We make friends with poems, and they are all friends here. Where are your friends? We will call them together."
The other students and scholars sitting at the table also gathered around, tugging and tugging, and involuntarily gathered Zhu Pingan and others on the big table in the middle, as enthusiastically as if they were meeting long-lost relatives.
Especially when he glanced at Zhu Ping'an from time to time, he seemed to be a rare commodity.
The uncle's friends were also warmly invited out of a private room. These students and scholars from other counties are eager to have more people, the better. The more people there are, the bigger the ugliness will be in Huaining County, and the bigger the noise will be. Mr. Fu Zun
That means you have to think more about it.
The uncle's friend is a fat man with a big belly and small eyes. You can't even find the eyeballs when you squint. He looks like he is overindulging in sex.
After everyone saw the ceremony, the fat man sat next to the uncle and whispered with the uncle and others. Finally, he glanced at Zhu Ping'an with strange eyes. Then he saw that the uncle and several villagers looked a little embarrassed and looked at Zhu Ping'an.
Ping An's eyes were full of blame and complaint.
It seems that they already know what these students and scholars from other counties are doing.
there is always a solution to a problem.
Zhu Ping'an acted like a normal person. After sitting at the table, he started to deal with the plate of drunken crab in front of him. He used to salivate over the drunken crab from Shanghai when he saw China on the tip of his tongue. However, he never had the chance. Now this drunken crab is like this.
How can I bear it when it's in front of me?
Well
It is true that they are the same as the rumors, greedy and a waste of money.
Students and scholars from other counties looked askance at Zhu Pingan's unsightly appearance of eating two big crabs in succession.
Uncle Zhu Shouren and others also wanted to stay away from Zhu Ping'an, blushing furiously.
The poetry meeting held in Jingxian Tower was prepared by students from other counties such as Tongcheng, Taihu, and Wangjiang. It was not specifically aimed at students and scholars from Huaining County such as Zhu Ping'an. It was originally just to prevent students from Huaining County from attacking.
After getting acquainted with each other, I didn't expect to be overjoyed. I heard someone said that when Zhu Ping'an and several other students from Huaining County were heading to Jingxian Tower, students from other counties discussed it. It was better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Why not let them come out today?
So ugly.
So, some people went to block it downstairs to prevent Zhu Ping'an and the others from just passing by; some people went to call people, and enjoying it alone is not as good as enjoying it with everyone. This kind of good thing must be appreciated by more people together to be interesting; some people used personal relationships to visit
Several well-known sages from the county and town hope that they can come so that everyone’s comments will be more convincing.
Because the person who called for them has not come back yet, the students and scholars from other counties have also endured the attack, but they will wait until everyone arrives before launching a thunderous blow at Zhu Ping'an and other Huaining County people.
Therefore, now everyone is having a great time communicating together and the atmosphere is very good, which is called a warm-up.
Singing and dancing bring peace, and swords and swords are in full swing.
