No one will always play and sing every night, but there will always be people who play and sing every night.
Singing will always sound among a certain group of people somewhere, such as tonight's Guangling Guild Hall.
As one of the richest states in the world, the construction of the Guangling Guild Hall is much better than that of Surabaya Guild Hall and Yunmeng Guild Hall, which are the last ones. Just the fact that it has a band will make many other state guild halls envious.
Those poor people can only brag and behave like drunkards when they are too drunk;
But Guangling Guild Hall's Juzi can sing and dance and be a tough guy.
At this time, in the lobby on the first floor of the guild hall, many celebrities were sitting around a dozen Eight Immortals tables. The temptation of silk and bamboo orchestral music was heard in their ears, and their eyes reflected the graceful swaying of willow waist, with their sleeves flying, and a group of tough guys. Drink and chat.
"Jinke, we have made a big splash. Now we have won all five games. Even Longshouzhou, which boasts that it is only inferior to Zhongzhou in terms of cultural power, has won. It's really amazing!"
"Isn't that true? I didn't expect that Mr. Shi would hide his clumsiness all this time. He didn't shine until he got to Zhongjing City. It's really tolerable."
"This kind of forbearance is worthy of being a member of a noble family!"
"Yes, if it were us, we would have wanted to take it out early and discover it. How can anyone have this kind of heart!"
"Indeed, we don't have the guidance of our elders, so we have to fumble for everything. With the same ability, the final results are completely different."
"Don't think so much. No matter what, our Guangling Prefecture is now gaining momentum. Even the faces of our Guangling Prefecture officials are bright. When we go out to parties, our backs are straightened. It is always good."
"Yes, and from now on, we will definitely be the only ones to challenge others. Others may not dare to come to our place."
"This is not nonsense, who dares to come? Surabaya Prefecture?"
Everyone laughed together, and the table was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
There is also a second floor in the guild hall.
Most of the people on the second floor are well-connected and naturally not as naive as the people on the first floor. They really think that Shi Zixian is a clumsy person, but most of them still can't figure out how he did it, and they don't know him either. The real purpose lies.
Several young men of power were leaning on the railing, condescendingly watching the performance on the stage below, and conversing word by word.
"It seems that Shi Zixian is determined to make a big difference this spring!"
"Yes, if you start a big fight at an unreasonable time in advance to attract everyone's attention, and then win praises with your outstanding performance, in the end, as long as you win in the Spring Palace, you will most likely be able to get an excellent ranking in the final palace examination. , being awarded the first grade is not a fantasy. It’s amazing!”
"There is nothing to envy. If you have an uncle who is the Minister of Rites to pave the way, then it will work just as well."
"Brother Zhao, I heard that you have a good relationship with Shi Zixian. How do you think he did it?"
"That's not important. Is it?"
"Haha, that's true. It's good for us to take advantage of it. Why worry about it so much!"
"That's right, wouldn't it be nice to have someone who is the first person to do the work for us? Rather than being stepped on by others like Sishui Prefecture, I would rather be the one stepping on others."
"Yes, yes! Hahahaha!"
On the second floor, there were also bursts of laughter.
At this moment, a man quickly rushed into the lobby on the first floor of the guild hall from outside and said a few words at a table. Several people at the table were immediately attracted and started talking curiously.
The people at the other tables immediately gathered around and looked very interested after listening. It seemed that there was some interesting news.
So, a powerful man on the second floor reached out to summon his followers, "Go and ask what happened."
Soon, the entourage returned and said, "Sir, the following is that Sishui Prefecture has contacted their Jieyuan, and their Jieyuan has also agreed to help Sishui Prefecture fight next."
The powerful young man was stunned when he heard this, "Didn't you say that he was a coward? Was he forced to have no choice but to do it?"
"It's okay to deceive outsiders by saying this, but no one can really take it seriously. Sishui Prefecture's Jieyuan is Xia Jingyun, Empress Dowager De's sworn brother. We can look down on Sishui Prefecture, but we can't look down on Xia Jingyun!"
"Yes, after all, he is the one who wrote such an eternal masterpiece as "When Will the Moon Become a Bright Moon?"
"No, you didn't understand what I meant. I don't deny his poetic talent, but it's entirely possible that he doesn't dare to compare. Think about it, first of all, this big fight is only about the same thing. His poetic talent is indeed good, but The other items are not necessarily different, but everyone only looks at the result. Secondly, his current status, if he loses, it will also affect the face of the Imperial Concubine, so I think this is what he meant to avoid the battle. "
"That makes sense. Do you think he dared to come out because he saw that we had already challenged them twice, and if we failed, we would definitely not go again?"
"Let's see. It would be interesting if Shi Zixian goes to the Surabaya Guild Hall again."
"I think this is really possible. Obviously Shi Zixian seems to have a personal grudge against Sishui Prefecture. I'm afraid Xia Jieyuan's face will be very ugly then!"
Although the dignitaries upstairs were also not optimistic about Xia Jingyun's participation, they were somewhat dignified and serious. However, the officials downstairs were not impressed after a brief surprise.
There was even a bit of happiness in getting what he wanted in his words, as if the enemy he had been looking for had finally been caught.
"I thought he would really remain a coward, but he finally came out."
"What's the use of being alone? You think everyone is as powerful as Mr. Shi!"
"That's not necessarily true, I am Jieyuan!"
"Then look at our Xie Yuangong, isn't it useless!"
This news was like a good tune to add to the fun, instantly raising the atmosphere in the venue to a positive level again.
The news spread into an elegant courtyard behind the clubhouse.
Shi Zijun and Shi Zixian, a pair of cousins, were drinking wine with two great scholars in the courtyard.
"Zhen Daru, Jia Daru, thank you both for your support. My father will be well rewarded after this incident."
"You two gentlemen, you're welcome. We only have this little left with our old bones. We should be lucky to be able to do something."
"Yes, Shangshu Shi is busy with state affairs. As we are in the literary world, if we can share some of his worries, it can be regarded as living up to what we have learned."
The four of them were polite to each other until a follower came quickly and reported the news that had just been introduced to the Guangling Guild Hall.
Shi Zijun sneered, "Finally forced him out."
He picked up the wine glass and raised it to the two great scholars, "Then you two will have to work hard."
"Haha! Don't worry, Young Master Shi. It's just a small Jie Yuan. If Brother Jia and I can't cure such a junior, then we are calling ourselves great scholars in vain."
"What Brother Zhen said is true. Let's not talk about anything else. Xia Jingyun's poem "Bright Moon" is true. He is indeed a genius. However, such famous works are rare but hard to come by. Moreover, as long as we determine the title well, , If he calculates with intention but without intention, he has no chance of winning."
Shi Zijun nodded, "Thank you both."
Immediately he looked at his cousin and said, "In that case, my cousin might as well go out and talk to everyone, just to show off his character and magnanimity."
His cousin, Shi Zixian, the now prominent Guangling Prefecture official, nodded in agreement, bowed to the two great scholars, and walked out of the small courtyard.
"Master Shi is here!"
As soon as Shi Zixian showed up, a large group of enthusiastic Guanglingzhou officials immediately surrounded him.
"Master Shi! It is said that Jieyuan from Sishui Prefecture has come out!"
"Hey, Mr. Shi, will you go to Sishui Prefecture to fight with him?"
"Don't make a fool of yourself. It is said that Jieyuan of Sishui Prefecture has some poetic talent, but he is not an easy person!"
Everyone was asking questions, but Shi Zixian smiled calmly and said calmly: "In that case, let's go to the Surabaya Guild Hall tomorrow to defeat them completely."
"Master Shi is mighty!"
"Master Shi is domineering!"
"Presumably when the people in the Surabaya Guild Hall see us, their faces will turn green with anger, right?"
"No, I even think that Jie Yuan probably thought that we had gone there twice in a row and would not go a third time, so he dared to come out to fight. I didn't expect Mr. Shi to be so domineering!"
"Master Shi, do you have any trouble with the people from Sishui Prefecture? Why are you staring at them like this? Hahahaha!"
A group of people were talking about it, and suddenly a loud voice came from the door.
"Is Shi Zixian here?"
Everyone turned around and looked, startled, oh! Isn’t this from Surabaya Prefecture?
He seems to be called Big Bird, and he even played on behalf of Surabaya Prefecture during the day!
Big fights have always been just for entertainment, and the state teachers and the imperial court will guide and keep this kind of competition in a benign category. Therefore, the officials in Guangling Prefecture are not as hostile as enemies in the world. Some people stepped forward and saluted, "I don't know, Your Excellency." What's the matter with Mr. Shi?"
There was a good person on the side who joked: "If you want to ask Mr. Shi for a favor, it may be too late."
Xu Dapeng glanced at the talkative man with disdain, then looked around, and naturally saw Shi Zixian surrounded by the crowd. He felt proud and had a solid confidence that he had never had before.
"With the entrustment of Chen Jiaoyu and Xia Jieyuan from our state, I came here to deliver the battle invitation! At midnight the day after tomorrow, Sishui Prefecture came to challenge!"
As he spoke, he took out a post from his pocket and said loudly: "Xia Jieyuan also asked me to bring you a message."
"He's really busy with things. He doesn't have much time to deal with your little quarrels. What are your plans? If anyone is dissatisfied, it's best to come together the day after tomorrow. He's in a hurry."
After saying that, he slapped the greeting card into the hands of the person in front of him, turned around and left quickly.
Before he even reached the door, he heard a louder noise suddenly erupted in the quiet lobby, mixed with angry curses.
Xu Dapeng panicked, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and quickly disappeared outside the Guangling Guild Hall!
The second update is sent. Hurry up and write tomorrow.
