Tongpan from Guizhou?
Based on the current assessment requirements of Wenyuan Pavilion, anyone who is a court official in Daliang can come to register.
However, Guizhou is far away from the capital, and there are very few people who specially rush to the capital for the Wenyuan Pavilion assessment.
After all, being able to serve as a court official in Daliang can already be regarded as a superior existence to ordinary civilians.
Now that a lifetime of glory and wealth has been obtained, how many people are willing to cross mountains and ridges, crossing more than half of the bridge, just to participate in the assessment of Wenyuan Pavilion?
Song Huan had some doubts in his heart!
What makes Song Huan even more puzzled is...
Why did this Guizhou magistrate appear in the capital with his collection of poems just now when he had the idea of publishing a collection of his works?
Song Huan never believed that there could be such a coincidence in this world!
Looking at Lin Zhihuan, whose self-confidence was frustrated in front of him, Song Huan couldn't help but comfort him: "Master Lin, there is no need to belittle yourself!"
"You have been preparing for so long with my collection of poems. How could you be easily defeated by an unknown general judge?"
"Listen to this king's advice. Now, your top priority is to go back home immediately and have a good sleep."
"Tomorrow's Wenyuan Pavilion assessment, you will definitely come out on top!"
After hearing this, Lin Zhihuan's eyes gradually regained some brightness.
"That's right. I already have His Highness's support, so how can I feel sorry for myself and let myself down?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your explanation!"
After saying that, Lin Zhixuan slipped away like a gust of wind without looking back.
Looking at his back, Song Huan laughed dumbly.
Although this guy is a bit dull and old-fashioned, to be fair, he is really not a bad person!
After getting on the carriage back home, Song Huan leaned against the window and closed his eyes to meditate.
I don't know where I was walking, but suddenly, there was a loud noise, which caught Song Huan's attention.
"Where are you? Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Back to Your Highness, we arrived outside the door of Huixian Argyle. I don't know what happened to Huixian Argyle today. It's full of people and extremely lively!"
"Um?"
Song Huan slowly opened his eyes, raised the car curtain and looked outside.
Huixian Argyle, which is usually bustling with people, is even more crowded today and extremely lively.
Carriages of all sizes almost completely surrounded the gate. A group of young people dressed as scholars looked even more excited and didn't know what they were shouting about.
If you look carefully, they all seem to be holding a booklet tightly in their hands.
It was this booklet that instantly aroused all the curiosity in Song Huan's heart.
"pull over!"
"Go down and see why it's so lively today!"
Under Song Huan's command, the carriage stopped steadily on the side of the road.
Seeing the dignified Prince Rong appearing alone outside the gate, the Madam took a breath and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Greetings to Rong Qin..."
Before the old bustard finished speaking, Song Huan raised his hand to stop him.
"I am traveling incognito today. I don't want anyone to know my identity."
The madam nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand!"
"King...oh no, don't worry, sir!"
"I will keep a low profile and never let others discover your identity!"
"There is a grandstand seat on the second floor that is still empty. Sir, please come with me!"
Song Huan followed the madam and walked towards the second floor. He asked calmly: "What's going on in Huixian Yage today? Is it so busy?"
The madam immediately responded enthusiastically: "Young master, you don't know something!"
"There is a Mr. Tongpan Zhou who came all the way from Guizhou, and he happened to be releasing a collection of poems at our Huixian Yage today!"
"You don't know that Mr. Zhou is young and promising, and he is very personable!"
"As soon as his collection of poems was released, it was immediately robbed by many literati in the capital!"
"No, these young men gathered downstairs are all here because of their reputation!"
At this point, the madam was already smiling from ear to ear.
It can be seen that Huixian Argyle's business has improved a lot because of Mr. Zhou's poetry collection!
Song Huan sat down in the elegant seat, gave the madam a few brief instructions, and then began to look around.
"The river flows leisurely eastward, and life is short like sleepwalking. Things in the world come and go like tides, but only poems remain forever."
"What a poem, what a poem!"
"Such a famous saying through the ages is really refreshing and rare to see!"
"I never expected that a remote place like Guizhou could produce a genius like Mr. Zhou!"
"And this one! The green mountains and ridges are like barriers, and the murmuring green water is like silver hairpins. If your heart is like water in life, there is no need to worry about letting the wind blow it."
“Such an open-minded and transparent state is truly heart-warming!”
"With Master Zhou's level, let alone a small place like Guizhou, even when he comes to our capital Bianjing, he is still arrogant among the others!"
"..."
Song Huan: "..."
That's it?
Just these few limericks?
Just look down on the crowd?
Song Huan wanted to say that the standards of the literati circle in the capital were too low!
Soon, the noisy hall on the first floor gradually became quiet.
Surrounded by everyone, an imposing young man stepped into the gate with his head held high.
This man was only around twenty-five years old. Although he was not tall, his face was arrogant and he looked a little arrogant.
The first time he saw this person, Song Huan felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort in his heart.
There was no way, Song Huan couldn't bear it. There were still such arrogant people in the entire Bianjing city!
Seeing this person appear, everyone swarmed around him.
"Master Zhou! I have admired you for a long time!"
"I've heard that Mr. Zhou is very knowledgeable and talented!"
"I didn't expect that when I met today, I would be like a dragon or a phoenix among people!"
"I didn't expect that a small place like Guizhou could be a good place for outstanding people."
"To be able to produce such a talented person as Mr. Zhou is really a treasure of Guizhou!"
There was a faint smile on the man's face, and he seemed to appreciate the compliments from everyone around him.
"Thank you for your praise!"
"In the south of Zhouzhou, there is a small Tongpan in Guizhou."
"I came all the way to the capital just to realize my ambition, to become an official in Wenyuan Pavilion and to become the true pillar of the country in Daliang!"
"Thank you for your compliments, Zhou's work is really embarrassing..."
As soon as Zhou Nan said these words, the praises from everyone were like waves, sweeping over him instantly.
"Master Zhou is so humble!"
"You came all the way to the capital, all because of this innocent heart!"
"This sincere heart is so touching!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that with your true talent and learning, Mr. Zhou, you will definitely be able to pass the strict assessment of Wenyuan Pavilion!"
"That's right! Your strength is here, it is the best among all the heroes!"
"Since Mr. Zhou is here, how about asking Mr. Zhou to recite a poem for everyone on the spot?"
