Three days later, the application time will be announced.
Jufu went to the appointment, but Pang Hong came with Jiang Xian as expected.
As for Zhang Biao, the official came over quickly after finishing his work today.
Zheng Pu and Liu Yin warmly invited them in one by one, and the Liu family's servants and maids were busy walking around, pouring wine and serving food.
Although there are no beautiful ladies to play drums and sing and dance with, it is better than having no elders to share the table with, so one can laugh and talk freely without restraint.
Everyone was drinking, laughing, cursing and releasing their true nature, and they were all having a great time.
But unexpectedly, when the You hour arrived, the Liu family's retinue, who was waiting outside, went inside to perform the ceremony and reported: "Mr. Zheng, there is a man outside the door who calls himself Cao Lang, Chen Fengzong."
Choose Cao Lang and Chen Fengzong?
Chen Zhi?
When Zheng Pu heard this, he was inexplicably surprised.
He had never met Chen Zhi, and he was not the same as Cao Shugong, so why didn't he invite Zilai Xie?
Zhang Biao, who was in the banquet, heard this clearly and saw that Zheng Pu was surprised. He thought he didn't know who Chen Zhi was, so he came forward to explain.
Chen Zhi, a native of Runan, was a famous scholar and the grandson of the former Situ Xu Jing's brother.
Shaogu grew up in Xu Jing's family. He had a majestic appearance and a solemn and stern temperament. When he was weak, his reputation for talent, learning and prudentness became famous in Bashu. Later Xu Jing passed away, his son Shaoyao and his grandson were still young, and the court
Because of Chen Zhi's reputation and Xu Jing's former reputation of being "unfaithful in terms of human relations and incompatible with personal relationships", he was appointed Cao Lang to be in charge of selecting officials.
The meaning of shade.
After saying that, he added with a smile, "Zijin, Chen Fengzong is already a famous scholar! It's a blessing to come here because of his fame! Why don't we move forward to welcome him?"
"Yes, that's what Brother Iboda means."
Nodding, Zheng Pu straightened his clothes, stepped out of the door, and bowed his hands in salute, "It's a small house in a humble house. I don't want Brother Fengzong to condescend to come here. It would be so brilliant!"
Unexpectedly, after Chen Zhi returned the gift, he just nodded slightly and said "hmm" before walking in.
Perhaps, the Xu family in Runan was a high-ranking family in the Han Dynasty, and Chen Zhi grew up in the Xu family, so he developed his temperament by being exposed to it.
Zheng Pu felt slightly unhappy, but his face was still full of joy.
When he was welcomed inside, the servants prepared a good meal table, but he did not sit down.
Instead, he stood with his hands behind his hands, his face was serious, and his expression was quite arrogant. He looked at Zheng Pu and said: "I have heard for a long time that Zheng Zijin is a brilliant literary talent in Shifang, and I admire him, so I came here uninvited. I don't ask for the sweetness of the lamb wine or the beauty of the delicacies. I wish I could
It’s great to see Zi Jinwen’s ear!”
As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly fell silent.
When Zheng Pu heard this, he also frowned and narrowed his eyes.
Although he didn't know why Chen Zhi made a provocative gesture, Zheng Pu no longer wanted to find out the reason.
He organized this banquet to introduce Jufu to Liu Yin, but Chen Zhi just came uninvited. Instead, he was arrogant and rude and deliberately made things difficult for him!
Do you really think that if you have a small reputation, you can let him, Zheng Pu, condescend to flatter you?
That’s not true!
Zheng Pu, who had long been unhappy, looked at him for a moment and said in a cold voice, "I wonder what brother Feng Zong has to say?"
"I don't want to take my opinion seriously. I just want to know if Qiao Yunnan is wrong in his knowledge of people."
"Heh~~~~~"
With a smile, Zheng Pu closed his eyes and thought for a while. When his mind moved, he opened his eyes and answered, "Okay! Since Brother Fengzong is so elegant, how can I refuse!" Before Chen Zhi could speak, he raised his hand again.
He walked around the house and said, "I am going to write a parallel essay on the topic of this humble hut to entertain you all!"
After finishing speaking, he held up the wine cup with his short body, drank and chanted while walking.
"The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be famous; if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual; this is a humble house, but I am virtuous."
"The moss marks are green on the steps, and the grass is green on the curtains; there are scholars talking and laughing, and there are no idle people coming and going."
"You can tune the plain Qin and read the Golden Scripture; there is no mess of silk and bamboo, and there is no trouble of writing documents."
"Nanyang......cough! Cough!"
After reciting this, Zheng Pu suddenly coughed.
It seemed that he was feeling depressed for a moment.
However, he thought in his heart that it was so dangerous that he almost escaped from "Nanyang Zhuge Lu".
It's not impossible, it's just that as a member of the Prime Minister's Office, if he openly flatters Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he will be despised as a flatterer.
"Zijin, is it okay?"
"Brother Zijin, please drink first to moisten your throat."
............
Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they started asking questions one after another.
Zheng Pu's expression remained unchanged, he nodded and thanked everyone. As he brought the wine cup to his mouth, he secretly thought about what to say next. Unexpectedly, the wine cup was already empty, so he took the cup in his hand to the Liu family's retinue who was waiting at the banquet.
Stretch.
"Here comes the wine!"
Pretentious and impassioned!
Coupled with his rich, handsome and majestic appearance, people can't help but feel heartbroken.
"nice!"
Liu Yin, who was infected, also became very passionate and praised the crime.
Immediately, he waved his hand to dismiss his followers, stood up, picked up the pottery pot, and loudly shouted, "Let me hold the cup for Zijin!"
He bowed his head slightly and took the drink with both hands, his eyes lit up as he was thoughtful.
After holding the wine cup and saluting everyone, he drank it all in one gulp, threw it on the ground, and said loudly, "Pang Gonglu in Nanyang, Yunting in Xishuzi. Confucius said: How can it be so shameful?"
Pang Gong is the hermit Pang Degong, who is famous in the land of Jingchu.
Because Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, was ten years younger than Pang Degong, he treated him as a brother and called him "Pang Gong", so the name "Pang Gong" came from this. Zheng Pu compared him with Yang Xiong's Zi Yunting,
Nothing unexpected.
After listening to it, everyone felt relaxed and happy.
Impressed by Zheng Pu's gushing ideas and brilliant literary talent, he wrote a gorgeous, catchy parallel essay with the theme of a small house in a short period of time. This is also because of the attitude of being clean and self-sufficient and not seeking fame and fortune implied in the article.
And he was captivated by his noble and proud sentiments.
"Wonderful!"
"Xianzai!"
"Beautiful!"
.............
For a time, there were endless praises.
After praising him, he turned his attention to the proud Chen Zhi with a "swish" sound.
In this situation, according to the current trend, Chen Zhi should have tidied up his clothes to show his dignity, and then handed over his hands to accuse him and spoke humbly. Then Zheng Pu also said a few words of humility, and invited him to sit down regardless of the previous suspicion, which made the scholars talk about this for a while.
Taoist stories.
Chen Zhi also planned this.
He had no grudges against Zheng Pu, but today he rashly came to court to question him, but he did not want to wipe out the goodwill of the cavalry general Liu Yan.
Well, Liu Yan had criticized Zheng Pu in the past and was already at odds with him.
It was later learned that Zheng Pu had been appointed to the Prime Minister's Palace, and he happened to hear about today's banquet, so he asked Chen Zhi to come to find out the reason and make a few accusations, and implicitly warned Zheng Pu not to make sarcastic remarks when he is a villain.
Chen Zhi was originally reluctant.
However, Xu Jing had many contacts with Liu Yan during his lifetime and could not refuse.
However, when he came, he had a plan in mind.
I thought of pretending to be arrogant to irritate Zheng Pu, and then lower my posture to apologize and clear up the past grudges. This way I could not only explain to Liu Yan, but also be friendly with Zheng Pu, and get the best of both worlds.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Zheng Pu bowed his hands and bowed.
The voice was still passionate and resounding, "I, a humble man from the mountains, dare not offend Gaudi's ears; this is a humble house, and I dare not condescend to the dignity of a noble scholar!"
Having said this, he extended his hand to the door and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
He was actually expelling the guest in person!
Suddenly, there was deathly silence in the room again.
Everyone was stunned. They couldn't understand why Zheng Pu acted so stubbornly.
Obviously, as officials in the same dynasty, peace is the most important thing. And if Zheng Pu gives in, he can show his open-mindedness and invite his name to the world. Why do he chase him away with a tough attitude?
To humiliate someone in person is of course a moment of pleasure.
However, if Chen Zhi loses his face, won't he turn into a enemy in the future?
Why bother?
In fact, when Zheng Pu finished speaking, Chen Zhi had already started to show off.
Although there is no such thing as the fury of the head with anger and the splitting of the canthus of the eyes, there is still the tendency to become angry due to shame.
"Today, there is a disturbance!"
Immediately, Chen Zhi cupped his hands, put down the low and angry words that were barely squeezed out of his throat, turned around and strode away.
