The twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month.
Under the leadership of Li Changming, Du Ning went to Bi Chun Garden to participate in the Wing Chun Poetry Association.
Usually "Wenhui" is a general term that does not limit poetry and song activities, but since this literary meeting is called "Wing Chun Poetry Club", it means that it is limited to "poetry" categories.
The spring breeze blows on my face, and the flowers in the Bichun Garden are in full bloom.
Many students from other places come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, hold literary gatherings, sketch, or exchange various interesting things about the literary world and other outdoor activities.
"Fellow literary friends, let me introduce it to you."
Li Changming introduced Du Ning to the students of the Hanyi Club in Yulin County: "This is Mr. Du Ning who wrote the article "Horse" in Nanping Prefecture. He is also a member of the Hanyi Club in Nanping Prefecture. His three
The first Mingzhou poem was published in "Nanping Wenbao", and his "Bamboo and Stone" was collected by Guoxue Palace and published in "Yunjing Wenbao"."
"Dun Ning of Nanping Prefecture, I have met all of you literary friends." Du Ning bowed to everyone.
"It turns out to be Mr. Du, whom I have admired for a long time."
"Du Zhenguo's famous name is like thunder piercing his ears."
"When I see you today, I will be lucky for the rest of my life."
Everyone responded respectfully, believing Li Changming's words deeply, because his cousin is the leader of Hanyi Club in Nanping Prefecture. With this relationship, how could Du Ning's identity be false?
"The poor families in the world belong to the same family. The Hanyi Club in Nanping Prefecture and our Hanyi Club in Yulin County are both brothers."
"I prefer Du Gongzi's "Bamboo and Stone", which helps readers sharpen their minds and courage. Reciting it every time when the mind is wavering can eliminate distracting thoughts in the mind."
"With Mr. Du in charge today, our Hanyi Club will definitely win."
All the students looked confident. Hanyi Club and Jieying Club in Yulin County had annual cultural exchanges, and they lost more than they won.
Everyone has never been so confident as today. We are all students from poor families, and we don't regard Du Ning as an outsider.
"It turns out that you are the guy who caused my uncle to be dismissed from the Guoxue Palace. You dare to come to our Yulin County. You are really shameless!"
An angry voice suddenly sounded.
When everyone looked around, they saw a group of people dressed in brocade clothes coming menacingly.
The leader was a scholar who cast a hostile look at Duning.
The same goes for everyone else. It was obviously the first time they met, but their eyes were so fierce.
Li Changming said: "That is 'Yan Lu', the leader of the Jieying Society in this county. His father is the local county magistrate. He seems to have a family blood relationship with Yan Song, the former dean of Nanping Prefecture."
"That's it."
Du Ning suddenly realized that Yan Song, as the dean of the Fuwen Academy, had always been the pride of the Yan family. As a result, Du Ning was dismissed from the Guoxue Palace, causing the Yan family to suffer great shame and humiliation.
Yan Lu did not dare to question the Guoxue Palace, so he pointed the finger at Du Ning.
"I've met Brother Yan." Du Ning cupped his hands and said.
"Bah! What is your identity? You can call me Brother Yan? Who do you think you are? How about writing poems to promote the state? What about writing articles to govern the country? It still can't change your humble identity from a humble family!" Yan Lu said fiercely. These words seemed to be scolding Du Ning, but in fact they were also scolding many students in Hanyi Club, making everyone angry.
Du Ning said: "People from poor backgrounds are not humble. On the contrary, some people whose backgrounds appear to be noble but are actually humble will feel that other people's backgrounds are also humble."
"Well said! As expected of Du Zhenguo!"
"Neither humble nor arrogant, unrivaled in arrogance!"
The students of Hanyi Club hold their heads high and are not afraid of the powerful children across from them.
"Presumptuous!"
A look of annoyance appeared on Yan Lu's face, and he snorted coldly: "Master Du, others say that you are a noble man from a poor family and have the talent to become a great Confucian, but in my opinion, you are just a person who deceives the world and steals your reputation." p>
"Why did you say that?" Du Ning asked.
Yan Lu said loudly: "My uncle Yan Song was originally a disciple of the Eight Sage Kings. He served as the dean of the Academy of Arts in Nanping Mansion and was highly respected. However, you framed and slandered my uncle and wanted to drive you out of the Academy of Arts, so that you were expelled from the Academy of Arts.
The Guoxue Palace has taken off its hat and made my Yan family a shame. You should give my Yan family an explanation for this matter!"
"What? Academician Yan was dismissed from the Guoxue Palace because he was slandered by Du Ning?"
"The Eighth Prince is a virtuous king, so why would the person he likes kick out the students from the liberal arts academy for no reason? There is indeed something fishy about it."
"This Du Ning is really a scheming man. He actually framed Grand Scholar Yan like this. It's really despicable!"
The students of Jieying Society pretended to be very surprised and indignant, and pointed at Du Ning.
"Nonsense! It was clearly Yan Song who slandered Mr. Du in the liberal arts college and refused to let him take the student status exam. That's why many students started making trouble. How did it come to your mouth that it was Du Ning who framed him? You don't
It’s ridiculous to dare to question the Guoxue Palace, but to attack Mr. Du’s literary reputation!”
"If Yan Songgong hadn't avenged his personal revenge, why would the Guoxue Palace send people to investigate? Since you think it was Mr. Du who framed him, why didn't you go to the Guoxue Palace to file a complaint for Yan Song?"
"That's right! Let's take a step back and say, assuming that Du Ning is really setting up a frame-up, then why didn't you say it earlier and later, and why didn't you say it at this time?"
The Hanyi Club students retorted one after another, all speaking from Du Ning's point of view.
Du Ning felt a little strange. The Guoxue Palace took off Yan Song's black gauze hat only after sending people to investigate. If the Yan family thought they were wronged, they would have used newspapers and newspapers to openly complain about it, so why bother to bite back in front of themselves?
This is meaningless and cannot change the reality. Moreover, it will be looked down upon by others.
Du Ning just felt strange, this was so unreasonable.
When Yan Lu saw that Du Ning was not angry, his eyes showed a little disappointment, and he continued: "Why didn't Mr. Du say a word? Is it because he felt guilty and didn't dare to say anything?"
"Dumou has a clear conscience." Du Ning raised his head and said.
"This is your hypocrisy. On the surface, you pretend to be high-sounding, but in fact, your heart is like a snake and a scorpion, worse than an animal." Yan Lu scolded.
Du Ning was immediately angry and looked at Yan Lu with a very unhappy expression.
Yan Lu smiled inwardly and thought: "It's just a trick."
So he continued to say to Du Ning: "The matter has passed. Our Yan family is considered a famous family in Suzhou, so we can let the matter go. However, today Mr. Du came to Bichun Garden, presumably to stand up for the Hanyi Society?"
"Master Du is a student of Hanyi Club in Nanping Mansion. It is not a violation to stand up for our Hanyi Club." Li Changming said seriously.
"That's natural. You all come from poor families anyway, and it's the same for students no matter where they come from."
Yan Lu said: "Since Mr. Du wants to participate on behalf of Hanyi Club, we will add an extra bet on top of the original lottery."
"What bet?"
Du Ning was wary, realizing that the other party might really show off his sword.
Yan Lu said loudly: "If you can win the first place, I, Yan Lu, will kneel down and kowtow to you in public to admit your mistake and clarify the attack on your literary name. But if you lose, you have to apologize to my Yan family. I don't know Du."
Young Master, do you dare to fight?"
Du Ning suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Yan Lu wanted to maliciously insult him. It turned out that he wanted to anger him and then propose this additional bet.
Yan Lu was not a hasty insult, but a provocation method to make Du Ning agree to the bet in anger, and then implement the next step of the plan.
Once Du Ning loses and kowtows to Yan Lu to admit his mistake, it will be equivalent to admitting that he slandered Yan Song, which will be a fatal blow to Du Ning's literary reputation.
But Yan Lu underestimated Du Ning's mentality. When he slandered him, Du Ning felt that something was fishy, so he was not angered by the other party.
"Absurd!"
Li Changming pointed directly at Yan Lu's nose and said angrily: "Master Du is not wrong in the first place, why should he apologize to you? He is from Wenzhenguo. Can you bear it if he kowtows to you? Who do you think you are?
!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Bold!"
The students of Jieying Society shouted angrily. Li Changming dared to speak to Yan Lu like this. He simply didn't take the students of Jieying Society seriously. This is a shame.
Yan Lu glanced at Li Changming with angry eyes. If it were normal times, he would definitely retaliate rudely.
But today, Li Changming was not his target, so no matter how angry Yan Lu was, he was too lazy to argue with Li Changming.
"If a person who writes a dignified article about subjugating the country doesn't even have the courage to do so, he is just a person with a false reputation. I think Mr. Du should just go back and forth wherever he comes, and don't insult the reputation of our Yulin County.
”
Yan Lu said unceremoniously, looking at Du Ning with contempt.
Of course, this was done on purpose, just to make Du Ning angry, causing him to lose his mind and make very unwise judgments.
"Master Du, please don't agree to him. Yan Lu has no good intentions at all. Every time he competes with our Hanyi Society, he will put forward some excessive conditions."
Li Changming said fiercely: "My surname is Yan, I, Li, leave my words here. If you dare to push the envelope again, you might as well not have fun in today's literary meeting!"
"Well said! Our Hanyi Club is worthy of this round!"
"That's right! I want our 'poor town' to apologize to you. It's a beautiful idea!"
"Don't think we can't see that you want to use provocation to influence Mr. Du, but it's a pity that this trick is useless against Mr. Du."
The students of the Hanyi Club were also angry. After all, they finally came out of a "poor town". What if they were bullied by these guys in Yulin County?
Even if he goes out of his way to offend these powerful people today, he will never let Du Ning suffer any loss. This is the integrity of a poor student!
The faces of the students from Jieying Club were a little ugly, but the students from Hanyi Club were very united. In the eyes of Li Changming and others, Du Ning had an extraordinary status.
"Du Ning, it's no wonder that you are the one who wrote the article about subjugating the country, and you actually want to hide behind others. Don't you feel ashamed!"
"If you have the courage, challenge us. Don't lose the integrity of a poor student."
"You are a scholar in vain!"
Students from Jieyingshe continue to inspire.
"Haha..."
Du Ning couldn't help laughing, and looked at Yan Lu like a sharp sword.
