Chapter 1863, the battle between the old and the new
Penglai Square is very lively, talented people and beauties gather here, and it becomes a large-scale blind date party. Of course, the brightest person is naturally the talented person who can enter the inner circle and sit and enjoy the fine wine and food.
"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Liu, there are quite a few seats left, so you can just go and join in the fun."
Tian Erniu brought Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin over. When he saw that there were still many places, he also said quickly.
Judging from the talent and learning of Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin, it would not be a problem to sneak in and get a seat. Of course, they still have this knowledge.
"Haha, okay, since you're already here, let's go and join in the fun."
Emperor Hongzhi was obviously in a very good mood, and he led Liu Jin towards the entrance.
When we arrived at the entrance, we discovered that there were more people here than expected. There were thousands of talented people. The students were meditating hard here, and their helpless sighs could be heard from time to time.
"Who came up with this pair this year? It's too difficult. I really can't think of it. I can't think of it."
"Yeah, it's so difficult to go to the inner circle and sit and drink. If I had known, I might as well have gone to Xiaoxiang Guan."
"It's not too late to go now. I heard that this year's oirans are so beautiful that some people are willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to buy the first night."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. Do you want to go and see it?"
"Let's go, let's go. There's nothing interesting here. This couple has made things so difficult. It's obvious that they are deliberately making things difficult for others."
"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go, why not go over there and have some fun."
Someone agreed, and soon groups of people left.
Obviously, this is a place for advanced players. Those who are not strong enough can't find a sense of presence here at all, and can only change places. During the Lantern Festival, there are many fun places in Penglai City, so there is no need to be embarrassed here.
Now that you can't even enter the inner circle, which rich girl would like you?
"Do you guys also want to go into the inner circle and have a seat?"
Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin came to the entrance and were stopped by someone.
"Yes~"
Liu Jin smiled and nodded.
The other party carefully looked at Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi, Tian Erniu, Tian Muye, and Tian Yuanshan. It goes without saying that Liu Jin's appearance was good.
Even though he is about to enter his fourth year, he looks like he is in his 20s. He is young, gentle, handsome, and has an impressive appearance. As soon as he stands here, he stands out from the crowd, and soon attracts the attention of many people around him.
Even the rich lady who was watching the fun not far away, and all the ladies looked over, and their eyes lit up slightly.
Handsome people like Liu Jin are naturally in the minority, not to mention that Liu Jin's temperament is completely different from those boys-like scholars, less green and immature, more mature and steady, no matter for
Both girls and young women have unparalleled lethality.
"Who is this person?"
Someone immediately asked the people around him in a low voice.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it before."
"Isn't it possible that someone from out of town came to our Penglai city?"
"You're a really good-looking person."
"Isn't that right? Even our ice beauty seems to be in love with her."
"You're still laughing at me. You're looking at me so hard that your soul is taken away."
"Xiao Cui, go and find out quickly."
"Yes~"
Scenes like this kept happening around him, and Liu Jin attracted the attention of many people around him just by being close to one face.
Soon, when Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi and Tian Yuanshan passed the examination and walked towards the table in the inner circle, everyone present looked over.
There are only thirty-six seats in the inner circle. The Penglai Poetry Club has been open for more than an hour, but there are only a dozen people who can come and sit in the inner circle. There are thousands of scholars and students outside.
Looking at where to do it, it can be seen that this assessment is still very difficult.
I didn't expect that three people would pass the exam, which was quite surprising.
Emperor Hongzhi was older and average-looking, so everyone didn't pay much attention to him. Everyone thought he was a knowledgeable old gentleman, so it was understandable that he came to join in the fun.
As for Liu Jin, his appearance and demeanor made the dozen or so people sitting there immediately look over him as soon as he came in. They all stared at Liu Jin carefully and looked him up and down.
Someone soon recognized Tian Yuanshan. Tian Yuanshan was considered a famous scholar in Penglai City. Of course, this was mainly because he was the only person from the Tian family in Penglai who passed the examination.
Tian Erniu has a group of children, but only Tian Yuanshan can read. His eldest brother Tian Muye can’t read, and he couldn’t pass the exam. Later, he was simply sent to a new school so that he could inherit the Tian family business in the future. The other brothers
Sisters are often not good at studying the traditional old school, so they basically study the new school.
Huanghuangzhou is different from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. The academic style here is naturally far inferior to that of the mainland. The imperial examinations in Huanghuangzhou are all based on the Dongbang examination.
The status of scholars here is much higher than that in the mainland, and Tian Yuanshan has not yet taken the provincial examination after being admitted as a scholar. Many people think that he should be able to successfully pass the examination, and maybe he will have the opportunity to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future.
.
Of course, Tian Yuanshan is of mixed race and does not look like a Ming Dynasty person. This is one of his famous places. The Ming Dynasty people still value this aspect.
"Brother Tian!"
Some people who knew Tian Yuanshan also smiled and stood up with their hands in salute.
"Brother Li~"
"Brother Wang!"
"Brother Ye~"
"Brother Hu~"
When Tian Yuanshan took a look, he was surprised to find that there were quite a few acquaintances. Those who could get into the inner circle were basically knowledgeable, and at the very least they were scholars. The one sitting at the front had already passed the examination and was waiting for next year.
In the 30th year of Hongzhi's reign, he went to the capital to write his name on the gold list.
"Brother Tian, can you help introduce these two brothers?"
Hu Zongming looked at Tian Yuanshan and then asked with a smile.
"These two are benefactors of our Tian family. They also came from afar this time. They heard about our Peng Lai Poetry Festival, so they came here specially to have a look."
"This is Mr. Zhu, this is Mr. Liu~"
Tian Yuanshan also quickly and respectfully introduced Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jinlai to everyone. He did not dare to call these two brothers, so his attitude was extremely respectful.
"It turns out to be Brother Zhu and Brother Liu~"
When everyone heard this, they quickly bowed their hands in salute. As scholars, etiquette, justice and shame should always come before etiquette. This is always the case.
"Hello everyone!"
Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin also smiled and returned the favor, pretending to be scholars now.
The three of them randomly found three adjacent seats and sat down. They also quietly listened to these talented people chatting, chanting poems and making fun of the moon. Following the Lantern Festival and the good day when the full moon was in the sky, they tried to see if they could write something.
What a wonderful article came out.
"Brother Zhu, Brother Liu, and Brother Tian are new arrivals. As a rule, we all have to drink three glasses of wine together to welcome the arrival of the three brothers. The other three brothers must also follow the rules and write a poem each.
Let everyone enjoy the poems and songs together."
Hu Zongming raised his wine glass with everyone and said with a smile.
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say."
Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood and nodded with a smile. Relatively speaking, people in this Golden Continent still have the rough customs of the Golden Continent. If they are talented people from the Beijing-Tianjin area, their tricks may be much more complicated. Here, relatively speaking
Be simple and crude.
Everyone drank wine together, three times in a row, and the wine was naturally red. Most scholars like this, for it is auspicious and festive.
While everyone was waiting for the three of them to write poems to the moon, there was a commotion at the entrance, which caught everyone's attention, and Liu Jin quickly looked over.
It turned out that at the entrance, a student dressed as a new learner walked over, clamoring to enter the inner circle, but was blocked by students from the old learner.
"Go, go~ Is this a place where you, with third-rate education and heretical ideas, can come?"
"That's right, that's right, do you know pairs? Do you know poetry and songs?"
"Besides being good at arithmetic and doing some heresy, what else can you do?"
"Don't take a pee and take care of yourself."
"Get out, get out, get out quickly, don't ruin everyone's interest."
The students from the old school were extremely impatient and drove away the students from the new school. They couldn't even get in. Why did these new students come to join in the fun?
"Everyone can come to this Penglai Poetry Club? Why can't we just learn something new?"
"Is our new study a heretical one? Do you understand geography? Or do you know how to distinguish the five grains?"
"That's right. They are all so weak that they have no strength to restrain a chicken. They can't tell the difference between east, west and north. Yet they still have the nerve to criticize us."
"If it hadn't been for the rise of our new learning, you wouldn't be able to come to this Golden Continent without knowing that you were in that mountain nook."
"That is, without our new knowledge, would it be possible to build trains, cars, and large ships?"
"The most annoying thing is you useless scholars. You know something every day. You study for a lifetime with a few shabby books, but you can't learn anything. The key is that you are so good at pretending."
"Yes, yes, what qualifications do you have to stop us?"
The students of the new school are obviously not vegetarians. They point at the students of the old school and start to retaliate. If you say it is obscene and heretical, I will say that you are useless and do not know the difference between grain and grain.
There was a back and forth between the two parties, and there was a feeling of tension for a while. However, they were still scholars. Although they were learning new things and learning old things, they did not quarrel with ordinary people. They started to do it when they quarreled.
You go back and forth and criticize each other's knowledge and content.
"Stop arguing~"
"The rules of the poetry society have been set for a long time. If you want to enter, you must pass the assessment. No matter whether you are a new learner, an old learner, or whatever, as long as you pass the assessment, you can enter. How can you be so noisy?"
At this time, an older gentleman reprimanded the young students. In line with the principle of respecting teachers, everyone stopped talking. The new students also began to think hard one by one. As for those standing aside,
All the students from the old school were also mocking.
"We can't even fight against each other. It would be weird if you could fight against each other."
"That's right. If you guys meet each other, I won't have anything to say if you enter the inner circle."
"I think it would be better for you to study the machine, which one is more suitable for you."
