Chapter 68： Mr. Gui's rules!

The Zhishui Cultural Association is well-known. The Huxin Island not only gathers talents, but also specializes in high platforms. On the high platforms, Yangzhou Tongzhi Liangquan Yiliang sits in the middle, and Yangzhou eight county magistrates under Master Liang visit in person, and there are also counties and counties. There are dozens of people from all walks of life in the state school and county school. There are as many as dozens of people wearing official robes on the high platform.

Under the high platform, talents from all sides gathered in different painting boats, and these painting boats were cleverly connected together, guarding the high platform together. This kind of literary meeting place is really elegant.

After seeing such a venue, then I went to see the venue of the Zhang Family Guanshan Poetry Club. It was really the ratio of gold to jade. Zhang Chengxi wanted to challenge the Zhishui Cultural Club through Guanshan Poetry Club. It was a complete joke of ignorance. It was Ah Q. Spiritual fantasy.

Lu Zheng felt that he was eye-opening, and he followed Qin Yue, listening with ears, learning with his heart, and especially with his heart.

In addition to the talents, the beautiful women in the literary fair are also the protagonists. The beautiful and talented women on the Slender West Lake painting boats are carefully dressed up and appear in various painting boats. Among them, Du Yueniang, Ding Zi, and Luo Qiaoqiao among the four great oiran in Yangzhou are all All show up.

The appearance of the oiran can always cause a violent commotion among the crowd. The top oiran are very good at controlling the situation and trying to figure out the hearts of the people. Today, this situation is a literary meeting. To put it bluntly, it is a place for talented scholars to fight.

The struggle between men is nothing more than fame, wealth, money, and beauty. The oirans are all famous now. If anyone wins at the literary fair today, they can win the hearts of beauties and even embrace the beauty. This This is the biggest gimmick of Wenhui.

Beautiful women love talented scholars, so many talented scholars are naturally struggling to show off in today's literary meeting. As one of the four masters of Zhishui, Qin Yue's appearance also quickly caused a commotion.

Qin Yue and Chen Gui each have a group of supporters. The relationship between these two people and the big oirans is extraordinary. Chen Gui is said to be in love with Qilan, while Qin Yue has an ambiguous relationship with Du Yueniang.

Today, everyone in Qilan was away, but when Du Yueniang showed up, she walked directly to Qin Yue to see the salute, and said: "Today the literary meeting, the slave family is looking at the son's great talent! The son only shows off his talents, and the slave family shouts for you!"

Du Yueniang, a woman with a long and slender figure, with a full grip on her waist, is covered with a white gauze, and her beautiful facial features are like shadows, which can be described as very amorous.

This strange look at Qin Yue caused her a flurry of uproar. The eyes of countless people looking at Qin Yue were full of envy and jealousy. Although Qin Yue was happy, his hatred value also increased.

Zhishui literary will be eclectic, some on current essays, some on poems, and some on verses have their own themes. The essays on current times are better than breaking the topic, following the topic, and more than the stereotype.

When discussing poems, everyone composes their own poems, and then evaluates each other's poems. The writing and verses are roughly the same. Qin Yue is really good at it. He travels all the way and stays in the various paintings. , But there are challenges, he can easily deal with it. It can be said that he is proficient in all kinds of poetry and songs.

Looking at Chen Gui and him, he is almost the same. Chen Gui is a more high-profile person. He has more followers around him, and he is laughing and cursing, but any talent who challenges him to defeat will be ridiculed by him.

Seeing those red-faced talents who retreated in shame, Chen Gui was extremely proud, and laughed wildly. Seeing his appearance, he really has the style of a Wei Jin talent.

Lu Zheng only hid behind Qin Yue, keeping a low profile everywhere, and he was unimpeded all the way, and no one came to challenge him. In fact, everyone at the Zhishui Cultural Society is here for fame, and most newcomers are struggling to become famous, so they are fighting for the limelight everywhere.

There are very few newcomers like Lu Zheng who are low-key and silent, and other people don't know him. Who will provoke an unknown person?

In this way, Lu Zheng mingled at the Zhishui Cultural Conference, and the more he smashed, the more he got in the water. Later, he simply didn't follow Qin Yue at all. Instead, he chose a painting boat to sit down and quietly study other people's essays.

The scientific examination is the core skill that every talented person must master. The only thing that is inferior is to study high. If you want to become famous through reading, everything is determined by the scientific examination. This shows the importance of the time.

The talents of the Zhishui Cultural Society are all masters of Shiwen, because anyone who is qualified to participate in the Zhishui Cultural Society is at least a talented person, and there is no such thing as a white body like Lu Zheng.

For the scholars who are preparing to participate in the provincial examination, or for Juren who are preparing to participate in the conference, the autumn of next year is a great opportunity. Next year is the year of the examination. This year's literary meeting will be indispensable.

In fact, in this kind of essay meeting, everyone is still fighting essays. In this process, the aspects involved are relatively narrow, and they cannot fully reflect their own essay level.

When a question comes out, it will be broken within a few minutes. The question is too complicated and obviously unrealistic. This kind of relatively simple and basic question is more about considering the agility of their own ideas and improving their own time. The level of literature is not necessarily beneficial.

However, this situation is too suitable for Lu Zheng. He has recently studied essays with great pains, not only composition but also recitations of essays. Up to now, he has recited more than a hundred essays.

After all, researching alone is not as good as someone writing a question. In addition, there are experts who break the question on the spot and pick up the question. This opportunity is especially rare for him.

What he lacks is precisely these basic things. I really want to talk about poetry and poetry. He has been a man for two generations and he has a lot of poetry and poetry in his stomach. Moreover, the articles are all classics. .

These time and text comparisons are not worth mentioning in the eyes of true talents, but Lu Zheng is like a treasure. He is very concentrated and highly dedicated.

Whenever someone asked a question, he immediately began to meditate. When someone broke the question first, and then took up the question, he compared the answer he thought to the answerer's answer one by one, and every time he found himself caught The main point, he was very excited, feeling that his hard work these days was not in vain.

In this way, Lu Zheng specially selected Shiwen's paintings and wandered around. Unknowingly, a few hours passed, and he didn't even notice it.

When it was noon, there were two cannons on Jiangxin Island, and all the talents stopped their literary fights, and everyone came out of their respective painting boats and onto the deck.

On the deck is a high platform, on which a large number of distinguished officials gathered, overlooking the Slender West Lake, eight dragon boats are already in formation.

The Zhishui Cultural Society has finally entered a critical stage. The first stage of the Zhishui Cultural Society is the free fight. This stage is a battle of their own, deliberately freeing up time for the talents to meet friends and brew their talents.

The time when you really want to compete is at the back. All the talented people gather together to write essays, poems, lyrics, or fus.

Regardless of whether it is a poem or an ode, it is necessary for the VIPs on the high platform to present the title and limit the rhyme. Generally speaking, the title is extremely difficult. Only extremely talented people can stand out and finally become the focus of everyone’s attention. .

The so-called fame was just at this moment. When everyone gathered together, the atmosphere suddenly became serious and tense. Lu Zheng could clearly feel that everyone around him was excited.

On the high platform, an old man in Confucian clothing slowly walked to the front to see the old man with a clear face, sharp eyes and strong spirits, and there was a sense of majesty between his expectations and expectations.

"Wow, Zeng Shan has grown up with such a big aura!" Someone whispered, and Lu Zheng knew in his heart that the old man in front of him was Zeng Guoning, the head of the Zhishui Academy.

Zeng Guoning and Gui Liang both called "Zeng Gui", both of which are famous Confucianists in Yangzhou. Zeng Guoning founded Zhishui Academy. Now Zhishui Academy has become a golden signboard in Yangzhou. Zeng Guoning's name is even more famous.

Gui Liang has always traveled outside to give lectures. After returning to Yangzhou a few years ago, he actually became the head of Guanshan Academy. Guanshan Academy is unknown, but it is just an academy organized by merchants. Gui Liang did Guanshan. After the academy's hill grows, the academy has not improved much.

Someone secretly said that Gui Liang's appointment as the head of the academy was just for the occasion, and his personal name was comparable to that of Zeng Guoning, and that was all.

Zeng Guoning glanced at everyone and said: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is the day of the dragon boat race. Our Zhishui Cultural Society will be held as scheduled, and the theme of today's Cultural Society is the Poetry Conference.

The title and rhymes of the poem meeting are all done by Master Liang. As the head of the Guanshan Academy, I only make one request. It is today’s Dragon Boat Festival. It’s in the hot summer day. Poems and lyrics are not allowed to hurt the spring. autumn.

Since ancient times, poetry has always been inseparable from the shackles that hurt the spring and sadness of the autumn. It is a pity and a pity that we have established this first rule today in the Zhishui Culture Association! "

As soon as Zeng Guoning finished speaking, the commotion started below.

The rule Zeng Guoning said doesn’t sound like a rule at first, and it doesn’t seem worth mentioning, but if you take care of it, this rule is really remarkable, because since ancient times, anyone who expresses emotions in poems is indeed hurting the spring and sorrowful autumn. Yu Jing's accounted for the majority.

Zeng Guoning is not allowed to hurt the spring and mourn the autumn. It can be said that the subject has been very restricted, such as "fallen leaves", "swallows", "hualuo", etc., can not be used, because this is autumn.

For example, "willow catkins", "little lotus", "apricot flower", "peach plum flower," can not be used, because it is "chun", a work of poetry, without spring and autumn, only winter and summer, is this still poetry?

During the huge commotion, many people became nervous. Some people have whispered that Zeng Guoning is too restrictive. Standing on the high platform, Zeng Guoning said loudly:

"Sincerely, everyone, this is not from my mouth. Everyone knows something. In addition to the Zhishui Cultural Society, there are also three poem fairs in Yangzhou today. All three poem fairs have rules that cannot hurt the spring and the autumn. This rule was set by Mr. Gui Liang. Everyone, does the rule set by Mr. Gui frighten you?"

Zeng Guoning said this to a very high standard. When he said that, the commotion in the audience was instantly quiet. Since it is the rules set by Gui Liang, what else is there to say? Is it possible that the Hydrological Society is not better than the so-called Guanshan Poetry Society, which is not waiting for the party?
