"I know, I know, don't bother." The scholars said impatiently, "Just give the order."
"Xiao Ke has something to say first. If it's a plan order, a flower order, a dice order, etc., I can still accompany you." Before Miss Diao opened her mouth, Wang Xian first put down the words and said: "If it's an elegant order from a scholar, we, a small official with a knife and a pen, can't play with it.
.”
His guess was not wrong at all. This group of people had seen him a long time ago. They almost hit it off and decided to take the opportunity to retaliate against him. They were all the sons of officials and had great fame. How worried were they that he, a green-shirted petty official, would not succeed? So they even
Wang Xian was brought into the situation by pulling and pulling, and he had to make a big fool of himself! How could he agree to it when he saw that he wanted to demean himself and escape?
"Who believes Wang Yasi's words?" Li Yu said with a smile: "Which one of us, the most powerful one, can write 'Stick to the green mountains without letting go, and let the winds from east to west, north and south' prevail?" He asked the scholars: "
Can you, can you?" Everyone shook their heads.
"That's right, even if you are an official, you are also an elegant official, and you are much more knowledgeable than us." Yu Xiucai said: "Wang Yasi disdains this way, otherwise, if you want to be a scholar, why don't you just dig into the bag and get something?"
"Nonsense." The smart little girl Yin Lingduo immediately saw that they wanted to punish her brother, and immediately said angrily: "If you want to be admitted as a scholar, who wouldn't take the exam? My brother is just literate."
"Adults are talking, children, please don't interrupt." Yu Xiucai glared at her and said, "Is it possible to compose poems just after you learn to read?"
"I said, that poem was not written by me." Wang Xian suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "I read it from ancient books."
"Which book?" everyone asked.
"The book is broken and has no cover."
"where?"
"When the firewood burns..."
"Haha..." Scholars say that only ghosts believe it. Books are a rare thing. Two generations of clerks in Wang Xian's family are only literate. Where can they find ancient books?
The scholars looked at each other again and thought to themselves, it seems they guessed right, the poem was written by Lin Qing'er.
It is said that after Wang Xian wrote the poem, there seemed to be no more trouble except that he moved Wei Zhixian to a complete mess. That is because the circle he was in was a low-level and vulgar subordinate official people. To them, poetry is nothing but edible.
Is that so? Only when they hear the praise from scholars, will they regard Wang Xian as a 'talented scholar', a 'literati', an 'elegant official', etc...
This is the right to speak, which has always been controlled by scholars. In places like Fuyang County, scholars have naturally heard of the poem, but there are almost no public comments. Occasionally there are a few sentences, and they are like, "If you don't use a canon for the entire article, is it also called a poem?"
?', 'It's just a limerick!' etc. Naturally, it won't arouse a big response.
But in fact, these guys are almost jealous to death. They have studied poetry since childhood, and of course they know the ancient and modern verses.
The two allusions of "Shuangcheng" are because his talent is more than enough and he does not need to extract chapters and sentences to increase the literary grace of his poems.
However, how can these guys who think they are as talented as Zijian accept that a vulgar official can compose such a genius poem? In that case, wouldn't their ten years of poverty become a joke?
So they carefully inquired about Wang Xian's past and found out that he was an uneducated and libertine who couldn't even write a poem, let alone a poem... This can also be seen from Master Diao's description of his daughter.
.How can such a person compose poetry? No matter where he sits, he will still be wet.
They also remembered that Han Jiaoyu once praised Lin Qing'er's talent, and they were sure that this poem must be written by Lin Qing'er. And today's method was also based on this. They first divided the men and women at separate tables to cut off Lin Qing'er's secret help.
The possibility of Wang Xian, let Wang Xian lose his face again, let’s see how he can still hang around in Fuyang County with five or six people!
.
Seeing Wang Xian's excuse, Miss Diao sneered and said, "The drinking party has already begun. If you want to leave the party in the middle, you can travel three thousand miles!"
"..." Wang Xian was speechless. The wine of the Ming Dynasty was not that of the Song Dynasty. Wu Song could kill a tiger even after drinking eighteen bowls. If he drank three hundred glasses of wine in a row, he would definitely be drunk to death.
Seeing that he was dissatisfied, Li Yu comforted him and said: "We are not outsiders. Even if we can't say it, if we eat a few more glasses of wine and go to bed drunk, who else can laugh at him?"
Wang Xian had no choice but to say nothing and secretly thought that if he fell into their trap today, he would knock out his teeth and swallow the blood in his stomach, and then he would show his disgrace to them in the future!
Seeing that he remained silent, Miss Diao said proudly: "You talented men still have to use Ya Ling, but we little girls can use Huazhi Ling."
"There are many elegant words, riddles, poems, couplets, split characters, acrostic characters..." The scholars laughed and asked: "Which one does Sister Diao have?"
"Since little brother Wang said that he has never read the classics, let's do poetry. This is what you are good at, right?" Miss Diao smiled happily at Wang Xian and said: "First, let's do the 'Qi Ping Qi Zhi Ling'
'Come on, let each person recite a line of poetry. It is required that the seven characters must be in a flat tone or all oblique tones. They should be chanted together at the table. Those who make mistakes will be flogged ten times, and those who fail to do so will be flogged thirty times."
So she, the leader of the order, came out and said: "It's so difficult to circumvent the radius." Qiping.
Li Yu then said: "Why is Pian so late?" Qiping.
Yu Yifan continued: "If you have a guest, please order your chopsticks."
Li Qi continued: "The emperor obtained the holy image and said it was salvation." Qizhe.
It was Wang Xian's turn. He had just understood Pingqi. He had to be immersed in it for more than ten years since childhood to reach their level, so he had to admit three cups of punishment.
After playing two more rounds, Wang Xian had already drank nine cups. Now Yin Ling couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "You bully others, why do you only drink my brother?"
Everyone laughed and said: "Drinking orders are like military orders. If you can't do it, you will drink it naturally."
"Who knows if you have done it before?" Although Yin Ling just said it angrily, he really got it right. They, the young ladies, had feasts every three days and put a lot of effort into the drinking order. These poems are all
It's been prepared a long time ago.
"Absolutely not," Li Yu said with a generous smile, "but in order to reassure my little sister, Sister Diao, please change it."
"Then...okay," Miss Diao thought for a moment and then said: 'Feichun Zi Ling', each of you will recite a poem. The poem recited by the first person must have the word 'spring' at the beginning, and the poem recited by the second person must be in the first place.
The word "春" comes next, and then it goes down to the word "春" at the end, and then starts from the beginning."
"This is simple." The scholars were overjoyed when they heard this, because they drank wine every day and played the flying character order countless times, including the "spring character downstairs order".
So I ordered the host, Miss Diao, to come up with the first sentence: "There are flowers flying everywhere in Spring City."
Li Yu then continued: "Don't let others misunderstand the New Year."
Yu Yifan continued: "But I doubt the beauty of spring is in someone else's house."
"The grass and trees will know that spring will return soon." The next person said.
"Spring is everywhere in Twelve Streets," another person said.
It was Wang Xian's turn. He thought for a while and couldn't answer, so he had to accept the penalty of three cups.
"Last night and every day there were spring flowers." But others were able to continue.
"The poet's scene in the New Year!"
The scholars played three more rounds, but Wang Xian still couldn't catch up. Naturally, he drank nine more glasses of wine, and his face turned into a red cloth.
However, the scholars gloated over his misfortune and loudly urged him to drink wine and Miss Diao to issue new orders.
In the compartment, the female relatives laughed so much that they shed tears. Some of them stumbled and said: "You are the right one." Some laughed and said: "This is the first time I have seen such a idiot." Others covered their mouths and laughed.
: "How did 'clench your teeth and never relax' become 'clench your teeth and never open your mouth'?"
Listening to their sarcastic remarks about her beloved brother, Yin Ling's eyes were red with anger. Huo De stood up, but Lin Qing'er grabbed her and said, "Sit down."
"No, my brother has been bullied like this!" Yin Ling said angrily.
"I'll go." Lin Qing'er stood up, walked to Wang Xian, bowed to everyone and said, "My husband is already too drunk, so let me take his place."
"You..." All the scholars looked at each other and thought that it would be more interesting to drink both male and female together and then throw them into the boat. Then they all looked at their master.
Miss Diao wished that Lin Qing'er would make a fool of herself like Wang Xian. She didn't believe it at all. If they were prepared versus unprepared, they could still lose. Then she smiled and said, "Of course, it's just that my sister has to be punished in the same way."
"That's natural." Lin Qing'er nodded.
So then there were orders from the "Four Books and Five Classics" and orders from the Heavenly Stems and Branches. Lin Qing'er's orders were so smooth that they couldn't stop her at all.
All the scholars couldn't help but look at her with admiration, saying that this little lady was naturally intelligent, well-read and had a strong memory, and she was born in such a lovely way. Marrying such a useless little official would be like putting a flower in a cow's dung.
"I'll give you an order. If you come up against me, you'll win." Seeing that the idle drinking order could not do anything to Lin Qing'er, Li Yu had no choice but to use his unique skill and said: "If there is water, it is also a stream, and if there is no water, it is also a joke. When you go to the stream, add water.
Birds become chickens. A powerful cat is as strong as a tiger, and a phoenix with its feathers is not as good as a chicken!" This is clearly a satire on Wang Xian, who pretended to be a tiger in the county and was domineering, but now his true colors have been revealed and he is full of ugliness.
When Lin Qing'er heard this, her jade face became cold, and she said in a cold voice: "With wood, it is also a chess piece, and without wood, it is also a piece of chess. If you leave the wood beside the chess piece, you will be cheated. When a fish swims in shallow water, it will be played by shrimps, and when a tiger falls on the plain, it will be played by dogs."
Bullying!" He directly described Li Yu and others as shrimps and dogs.
The rebuttal left Li Yu speechless. He narrowed his eyes at Lin Qing'er and smacked his lips: "It's a pity, it's a pity..."
"Ms. Li, please respect yourself." Lin Qing'er supported Wang Xian and said, "My husband is drunk. Please call for a boat. We won't disturb your enjoyment."
"Well," Li Yu was pondering whether to let Wang Xian go, when Li Qi stood up and said, "I'll call a boat for you."
As he spoke, he ignored Miss Diao's cannibalistic look, opened the door and went out, but then turned back and said, "Everyone, Senior Brother Chen is here."
"Oh, what kind of wind has brought Brother Shu Zhen here?" Li Yu immediately forgot about Wang Xian and led everyone to stand up to greet him.
The visitor was a man in his mid-twenties, wearing a black straight jacket and a black scarf. He laughed loudly and said: "Brother Zili, you didn't come to Hangzhou to find me. It's so boring."
"Brother Shu Zhen is now socializing with high-ranking officials. I don't dare to disturb a young scholar like this." Even so, Li Yu looked proud.
"Haha, this is your fault. I almost caused you to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Brother Shu Zhen laughed heartily and said, "Looking at you, you don't know that Mr. Hu Ge is going to criticize me, a Zhejiang scholar, tonight."
