The atmosphere of the entire cultural gathering was immediately heated up.
After all, literary events, whether it is poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy or painting, are bound to have this stage of showing off their skills.
Even though the students of Nankang Academy have a "crazy" personality compared to other academies, this is a common problem among literati, and no matter how crazed they are, they cannot escape it.
Who doesn’t want to be famous? Who doesn’t want to stand out?
Therefore, when Luo Yun opened his mouth and invited Gu Changsheng to compose poems for the literary society.
Many academy students looked at Gu Changsheng with envy.
Even Bai Wan and Zhang Yue are no exception.
In their opinion, this was not Luo Yun making things difficult for Gu Changsheng, but giving Gu Changsheng a chance to make a name for himself!
That is to say, this cultural gathering tonight is specially held for Gu Changsheng.
In addition, Gu Changsheng's social skills before, which can be said to be the ultimate understanding of human world, made everyone confused and their affection for this junior brother increased greatly.
Otherwise, when Luo Yun asked Gu Changsheng to take the lead in composing a poem, someone would jump out first and want to compete with Gu Changsheng.
Where would it be like now?
As Luo Yun spoke, everyone fell silent, looking at the junior brother with expectant and encouraging eyes.
Even the initiator, Luo Yun, was startled by such a harmonious scene that could be called brothers and sisters.
"Is this junior brother's popularity so exaggerated?"
Luo Yun was a little stunned. As the son of a royal family official, he was a good scholar and a good social person. He was also quite prestigious among the students in the academy. But at this moment, compared with the young junior brother in front of him, he felt like he was being compared.
?
Gu Changsheng didn't know what Luo Yun was thinking.
But this did not prevent Gu Changsheng from maintaining his reserved and decent posture, gently raising the wine cup in his hand, bowing slightly and saying: "Junior brother, I have thanked you for your kindness, but I still want to invite you, so I cannot accept my order."
"Junior brother, why is this happening?"
"That's right, little junior brother, don't be nervous. We are all fellow juniors, so there is no need to have any scruples!"
Even Luo Yun couldn't help but speak.
Again.
At a literary gathering, it is a great honor to invite a literati to take the lead in writing a poem.
Regardless of whether your work is good or not, as long as it passes the test, everyone in the audience will praise it, and in the future, they will publicize it and make it famous!
Gu Changsheng is indeed a sage who governs the country, but his reputation is more famous for his Taoist paintings.
But the government examination half a year later will test Confucianism and Taoism, as well as literary names!
Therefore, literary meetings like these are also an important way for Confucian scholars and scholars to become famous. Especially if you become famous on the eve of the imperial examination, the rewards you can gain are even greater than usual.
This can be regarded as a small gift prepared for Gu Changsheng by the senior brothers.
This is also the point of Luo Yun's test. He wants to see if Gu Changsheng's character can be so detached except for matters between men and women.
Seeing everyone's astonished look, Gu Changsheng cupped his hands, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said seriously: "Brothers, I don't know, at first, I failed in many tests. I just got into school by luck and got the reputation of being a scholar. I have so much talent in my heart.
I had already exhausted my energy before, and now I want to write poetry, but it will only taint the ears of my brothers and disgrace the reputation of the academy."
"Besides."
Gu Changsheng said sincerely: "All of you here are my senior brothers, who are late at school. I want to learn more from my senior brothers. My senior brothers organized this literary meeting for me. I am already grateful. I will write a poem first. If I
If you agree, wouldn’t it be too shameless?”
In his previous life, Gu Changsheng once heard a saying that sincerity is the greatest nirvana.
The same principle applies here.
Gu Changsheng directly told his true situation. He was not talented enough and failed after repeated attempts.
These two points are things that a literati would be ashamed to mention to others.
But Gu Changsheng spoke frankly and frankly. Not only that, he also complimented everyone present.
Such an open and humble attitude.
However, Luo Yun was a little ashamed. He felt that his thoughts on teaching were too rude and inconsiderate of his junior fellow apprentice. He didn't look like a senior fellow at all.
Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Changsheng spoke again.
"Speaking of which, I have already heard about Senior Brother Luo's talent. If you are willing, Senior Brother Luo, if not, how about asking Senior Brother Luo to compose a poem first?"
Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
But it immediately attracted everyone's nods, and also warmed up the originally cold atmosphere again.
And Luo Yun, who was sitting in the main seat, heard that Gu Changsheng took the initiative to speak to save himself, and looked at Gu Changsheng with eyes that became more and more eager!
"Junior brother... you are a true gentleman!"
Seeing Luo Yun's excited look, Lin Qing next to him smiled calmly.
Only realized now?
He had already determined that his junior brother was a gentleman!
There is no need to say much about the banquet scene that followed.
One after another, the academy's talented students made their appearance, which allowed Gu Changsheng to successfully escape for a while.
After all, the senior brothers present also knew about his lack of talent.
For literati, if their talents are not enough to support them, even if they have masterpieces, it will be difficult to write them. Even some ordinary poems will be like chewing dry wax and have no charm.
No one will embarrass him.
"Grrrr..."
"If you go to the east of the Yangtze River..."
"Ding ding dong dong..."
In the corner, Gu Changsheng filled himself with another glass of fruit wine with satisfaction. The amber wine reflected a warm jade-like brilliance under the reflection of the lamp. After drinking it down, he only felt sweet and refreshing.
Coupled with the singing, dancing and piano music on the side, although it cannot match the happiness of iced Coke in the computer room in the previous life, it is still a rare enjoyment in this world.
"To a certain extent, this can be regarded as the last indulgence of my senior brothers before the 100-day sprint for the government examination, right?"
Gu Changsheng squinted his eyes and looked at the increasingly noisy Nankang students in the center of the banquet hall. A smile couldn't help but appear on his lips. He didn't feel noisy, but rather familiar and nostalgic.
But at this moment, outside Lingfeng Pavilion, there was a sound of scattered footsteps, and then there was a cold voice that sounded quite uncomfortable.
The festive atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly dropped.
"I heard that the talents of Nankang gathered here to welcome Gu Xianren to his school. I thought that I would see the talent spread to the sky. Now it seems that there are rumors from the outside that our Nankang Academy is among the top three in Jiangnan Prefecture.
The name of the academy seems to be a bit exaggerated!"
As the voice sounded.
Although one is wearing a long gown, the shape and style are completely different from the Confucian gown.
On top of it, there was a young man with ethereal light gold embroidery, and with him, young people who were not much different in age from the students of Nankang Academy, filed into Lingfeng Pavilion, and glanced at everyone present. In his eyes, there was
