Chapter 304 Mrs. Confucius’ Birthday Banquet

"Although there is currently no evidence to prove the authenticity of Du Jun's remarks, from a certain logic point of view, the other continent discovered by the semi-sage Mr. Chao Bowen did exist with the Holy Forest Continent a long time ago.

Some kind of relationship."

"It makes sense. If there is no certain relationship between the two continents, how could there be such extremely similar civilizations? The similarity in language and writing is enough to prove that this is not an accident."

"At that time more than 1,500 years ago, the historical records of the human race had not yet been formed. Even if a major event occurred, it might not appear in the official history in time. It is good to be able to mention it briefly in the unofficial history."

"Is the other continent actually an island that disappeared mysteriously for more than a thousand years? So that's the case, then it all makes sense."

Many scholars are discussing it.

Fu Shuyun thought for a while, looked at Du Ning and said, "Maybe your guess is correct. Maybe we can put forward your point of view to the Holy Court. If we continue the investigation slowly, we should find something."

"Does that continent have a name?" Du Ning asked.

"Let me think about it...according to the records brought back by Chao Sheng, it seems to be called Lingwu Continent..."

"Lingwu Continent...that's it." Du Ning nodded lightly.

Fu Shuyun continued his topic: "Chao Sheng returned in a hurry after leaving Lingwu Continent. When passing through the endless sea, he found many warships, which were wantonly attacking many large and small sea nations in the endless sea."

"Could they be from Lingwu Continent?" Du Ning's face changed slightly.

"Not bad."

Fu Shuyun said: "According to Chao Sheng's observation, those people from Lingwu Continent are powerful pirate gangs. They do all kinds of evil in the sea and invade island countries to obtain various resources and strengthen their own power."

"Lingwu Continent sent a large army to conquer, so these pirates drove warships into the endless sea and laid down many islands as bases. According to the travel routes of these pirates, it will not be long before the pirates will discover the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.

The location."

When talking about this, many scholars showed nervous expressions. They already understood why the Holy Academy has been paying special attention to the affairs of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom recently. It turns out that there are pirates running rampant in the sea area.

As a result, the human race of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom has become a piece of fat.

"If there were half-saints in the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, pirates would not dare to invade. But now there is not even a single great scholar in the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. It is difficult for them to resist this pirate attack with their fighting power."

Fu Shuyun continued: "So, the Holy Court hopes that before the pirates attack the Seven Islands Sea Country, they can find ways to make the Seven Islands Sea Country the territory of the Holy Forest Continent and protect it with the power of the saints. If this is not possible, they can only

The first step is to conquer the Seven Islands Sea Country. Of course, that is also the last resort."

"I see. No wonder there are many people fighting against the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom recently. After all, the good news does not go to outsiders. Instead of watching the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom being occupied by pirates, we might as well take action ourselves..."

"Although this is tantamount to killing each other, it is still better than being robbed and killed by pirates."

"This is indeed a very troublesome thing..."

Everyone’s expressions are getting worse and worse.

Fu Shuyun smiled and said: "Today is Mrs. Kong's birthday. We shouldn't discuss these things. The human race's plans have to be considered by the Holy Academy and the saints. Today, we should focus on celebrating Mrs. Kong's birthday."

"What Mr. Pingguang said is absolutely true."

"Fu Jun's words make sense."

Many scholars secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to chat about other topics.

Unknowingly, it’s noon.

"Mrs. Kong is here!"

A sound like a bell sounded.

Later, Kong Chunfeng appeared in everyone's sight, supporting an old woman.

Mrs. Kong is wearing a bright red robe today, and she is beautifully dressed. It is said that Mrs. Kong was also a well-known scholarly daughter, and was known as "the most beautiful woman in Kongcheng".

Even though she looks like an old man, her charm is still there. It can be seen that when she was young, she was also a beautiful woman who captivated the country.

"Mrs. Kong, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are so beautiful today. It seems that I can see the most beautiful woman in Kongcheng again!"

"Isn't it true? When Mrs. Kong was young, she was a famous beauty in our Kong city!"

"Mrs. Kong, you are now full of children and grandchildren, and you are enjoying the happiness of a family with Yan Shenggong. It is really enviable."

Many older bachelors and scholars were full of praise for Mrs. Kong, who was so praised that Mrs. Kong smiled from ear to ear and quickly invited everyone to sit down together.

"Come on, slow down."

Kong Chunfeng helped Mrs. Kong sit down.

Then, a group of Kong family members came to Mrs. Kong and knelt down in unison.

"I wish my mother a happy birthday. I wish her as long as the flowing water of the East China Sea and as long as the evergreen pines in the Southern Mountains."

"My grandson wishes his grandma a happy birthday and kowtows to her."

"My great-grandson wishes my great-grandma a happy birthday and wishes her all the best and all her wishes come true."

Then a group of people kowtowed respectfully.

"Okay, okay, the children are all filial, get up quickly, get up quickly."

Mrs. Kong hurriedly asked everyone to stand up, with a happy smile on her kind face.

This made many people present very envious.

Afterwards, many young scholars came out to bow to Mrs. Kong.

Some call me cousin, some call me aunt, some call me aunt, some call me aunt, etc.

All the younger generations of Mrs. Kong come to pay their respects to Mrs. Kong.

After the birthday ceremony, Kong Chunfeng officially announced the banquet and presented one delicious dish after another.

"Mr. Fu, I would like to propose a toast to you." Du Ning toasted to Fu Shuyun.

"Du Jun, you're welcome, please."

Fu Shuyun happily accepted it and drank heavily with Du Ning.

Everyone chatted while eating.

After eating for nearly an hour, Mr. Yan Shenggong led Mrs. Kong to toast table by table.

Mrs. Kong only drank tea, and the Kong family next to her drank instead, drinking glass after glass of aged wine.

After three drinks, everyone was very happy.

When Mrs. Kong returned to her original position, the Kong family placed many small tables in the open space in the middle and prepared the Four Treasures of the Study.

Next comes the important part of the banquet - the cultural meeting.

On any major occasion, scholars will hold literary exchanges and exchanges. Today is Mrs. Kong’s birthday banquet, so this kind of activity is inseparable.

Comte came to the center and said to everyone: "I, on behalf of the Kong family, welcome all literary friends to attend the birthday banquet of our wife. Now that we have had three drinks, it is inevitable to hold a literary party."
"Yanshenggong prepared some gifts as a bonus for the literary meeting to reward the scholars who participated in the literary meeting."

"The theme of today's literary gathering is 'continuation of poetry'. Our local scholars in Kongcheng will write a poem or a line, and then let you continue writing according to the artistic conception of this poem or line. Everyone can participate.

All scholars who participate can obtain a set of Hanlin-level cultural treasures."

After the words fell, many scholars were ready to take action.

"Next, we will collect the subject matter on site, and ask the literary friends in Kongcheng to write a poem on the page and put it into this box, and then we will ask the readers who participated in the literary meeting to come and draw."

After Conde finished speaking, he handed a box to a Confucius family member, and then asked the Confucius family member to go to the wine table of the Kongcheng people to collect poems.

The Kong family immediately wrote a poem or a word on the spot and put it into the box.

Soon after, the Kong family brought the box back.

Comte smiled and said to everyone: "Now that the collection of themes is complete, I wonder which literary friends are willing to give it a try?"

"Me! Let me try!" A Confucian and Taoist scholar quickly raised his hand.

"Okay, then let's invite this literary friend to draw lots!" Comte said with a smile.

"Zhang Tianyou of Chu State has shown his shame today."

The Confucian and Taoist scholar's face lit up with joy. After announcing his essay title, he swaggered up to Comte.

"It turns out that Zhang Mingzhou belongs to the wealthy Zhang family of Chu State. He is known to be quite talented in poetry and has published many Mingzhou-level poems. I must see it with my own eyes today."

"Hehe... I heard that Zhang Tianyou has been able to compose a poem in seven steps since he was a child. The method of continuing the poem will definitely not be difficult for him."

"Let us see the literary talent of Mr. Zhang!"

Many people have heard of Zhang Tianyou's literary name, and all of them cast their eyes expectantly.

I saw Zhang Tianyou pulling out a piece of paper from the box in front of everyone, and facing everyone when he opened it.

I saw only seven words written in it.

"The summer is long under the shade of green trees."

Comte smiled and said: "It seems that this is a seven-line poem. According to the poetic meaning, it should describe summer. It is already early summer in April, which is particularly suitable for the occasion."

Zhang Tianyou looked at these seven words and walked slowly towards the eucalyptus. After walking seven steps, inspiration burst out.

Then he picked up the pen and continued the poem on the page.

After a while, the work is completed and the entire poem is presented to everyone.

The green trees are dense and the summer is long,

The balcony reflects into the pond.

The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises,

The shelves are full of roses and the courtyard is fragrant.

"Good! As expected of Zhang Mingzhou, this poem is well continued!"

"It is not only in line with the poetic mood, but also in line with the scenery in the courtyard."

"Admire, admire!"

There were cheers everywhere.

Du Ning also nodded silently. The artistic conception of this poem is very good, at least it is a masterpiece from Mingzhou. It may be published in "Kongcheng Wenbao" tomorrow. If nothing happens, Zhang Tianyou's reputation will become famous through this banquet.
"Show your ugliness, show your ugliness."

Zhang Tianyou bowed his hands to everyone, then received a set of cultural treasures from Kongde and returned to his seat with a swagger.

Someone offered some ideas, which naturally made more people ready to take action. Many people began to rush to participate in the continuation of the poem.

Du Ning was drinking while watching the performances of other scholars.

Although the cultural treasures at the cultural conference are not important things, as lottery rewards, they can play a role in promoting the atmosphere.

In just a moment, many readers present were immersed in the fun of continuing the poem.

Occasionally, there will be on-site comments by bachelors and scholars to entertain everyone.
