Although Lin Tixue was unhappy with Xu Jing's hasty proposal, he had already developed the ability to hide his emotions and anger after serving as an official for many years. Seeing that all the scholars agreed, he simply nodded and said.
"In this case, I will take a look at your poetic talent. If you have a good work, it will be a good talk. You will need to take the provincial examination in the future, so you can use the topic of encouraging students to learn. The limit is one stick of incense. I will discuss it later. Let’s start with you.”
Lin Tixue had a clear idea of the person in front of him. Either he was conceited and talented and wanted to show off his skills to win his favor, or he was instigated to become a gunman. Unfortunately, no matter which one it was, this person was already in Lin Tixue's heart. Marked an X.
This candidate obviously did not have a good understanding of Lin Tixue's life. If he did, he would know that this Lin Tixue, Mr. Lin, valued etiquette the most in his life. He did such an obviously unruly behavior. No matter how talented and learned he was, he would not be admitted. I can't stand his discernment.
Li Jie was a little surprised by this suggestion. The scholar who suggested it was really unwise. He knew that the impression he left on outsiders was quite satisfactory in terms of poetry and prose, but if someone really wanted to step on it in terms of poetry and prose, It would be a mistake to step on him. Although there are not many famous articles about the Ming Dynasty and subsequent dynasties, Li Jie also memorized many.
Since ancient times, it is indispensable to recite poems and write poems at literati banquets, especially at important banquets such as the Hairpin Banquet and the Deer Ming Banquet. Many people are really eager to try it, firstly to express their joy after high school. Secondly, it's like trying to win the attention of the superior and be in the limelight.
Li Jie didn't know about the relationship between Xu Jing and Gao Sheng, so he just thought that Xu Jing was trying to win Lin Tixue's admiration. He didn't expect that it was for him, but even if it was for him, he Not afraid either.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
Xu Jing stood up, bowed to Lin Tixue and said, "The student has gained something."
"Oh? Then read it out."
When Xu Jing heard this, he respectfully read out the poem he had written.
After hearing this, Lin Tixue frowned slightly, thinking that this student was one of the second types and had been used as a weapon, and then he spoke.
"Well, it's quite satisfactory, but it's appropriate for the situation. I hope you will study hard in the future."
After Xu Jing finished reading the poems, everyone who was already gearing up took out the poems they had written. Unfortunately, they were all clumsy works and there were no poems that caught people's attention. Lin Tixue secretly shook his head. .
At this time, a student member said: "Brother Gao Gaosheng has always been quite talented in poetry. Why don't we listen to his masterpieces?"
Gao Sheng looked quite proud when he heard the words. He was slightly humble at first, then picked up the wine bottle on the desk, took a sip, and read slowly.
"The human heart is like a good seedling, it will grow if it is nourished; the seedlings are fed with spring water, and the heart is nourished with reason and righteousness."
"If you don't study for a day, you will have no good ideas. If you don't study for a month, your ears and eyes will lose their clarity."
Lin Tixue's eyes lit up when he heard this. Finally, a masterpiece appeared. He also heard about Gao Sheng's literary name. Seeing that his poems were indeed not bad, he clapped his hands and shouted.
"good!"
Everyone also applauded after hearing Lin Tixue's cheers.
"Great poem, worthy of Gaosheng!"
“Fuqing’s most talented person really deserves his reputation!”
“This poem will definitely win the first prize in the literary gathering tonight!
The whole hall was filled with praises for Gao Sheng. After hearing Lin Tixue's comments, Gao Sheng was elated and then returned the favor with his hands.
As the poetry meeting continued, there were no more good works. Gao Sheng saw that Li Jie was still unmoved and became a little anxious. Then he winked at another follower. Liu Xingchao saw Gao Sheng's eyes and understood what he meant. He looked embarrassed, but when he thought of Gao Sheng's family background, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Lin Jishou, is there any masterpiece that we can all appreciate?"
Liu Xingchao's voice just fell, and the bustling scene just stopped. Lin Tixue frowned slightly. Thinking of what happened before, he immediately understood the whole story. He was about to interrupt with a scold, but then he thought that he also wanted to see it. Let’s see how Chief Lin responds.
After the scholars in the hall heard Liu Xingchao's words, the thoughtful people glanced at Gao Sheng with playful eyes, and then looked at Liu Xingchao with pity. Thinking of his situation, they couldn't help but feel a bit sad. It is a pity that some people are born superior to others.
Of course, there are also many people who take pleasure in the misfortune, and all the scholars have different thoughts.
"Haha! Now there's something good to watch!"
"Hey! Why bother? We are born from the same roots, why are we in such a hurry!"
"I wonder how Chief Lin will respond?"
"This Liu Xingchao has really lost his mind. This person is not to be dealt with."
"This method of promotion is too obvious. It seems that this person is also a loser. He has lost his talent and family background in vain!"
After hearing Liu Xingchao's words, Li Jie immediately understood that this poetry fair was aimed at him. Unfortunately, the means were not clever, and it seemed that he could not avoid it. I have always been low-key and hated by others, that's all. If I don't get jealous, I'm mediocre.
Then he chuckled, stood up and bowed to Master Tixue, then took a step forward and spoke.
"Today after today, today is so little! If you don't do it today, when will this happen?"
"Tomorrow comes tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows. If I live to wait for tomorrow, everything will be wasted."
After listening to this, Lin Tixue clapped his hands and expressed excitement, and then said: "In ancient times, Cao Zijian wrote a poem in seven steps, and now Lin Ping from Fujian wrote a poem in one step! Good! Good! Good! This is a revelation!
"I declare that this poem is the leader of the night! Do you have any objections?"
All the scholars responded loudly.
"We have no objection!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Tixue raised the wine bottle and drank it down in one gulp. He looked at Li Jie with an even more friendly look. He did not expect that Li Jie could create such a masterpiece. As soon as this poem came out, tonight's poetry meeting could be over.
After Lin Tixue's comments were made, the audience immediately started talking.
"As soon as this poem comes out, everyone will be judged!"
"The lingering sound will not stop for three days!"
"If you just listen to this poem today, your trip will be worthwhile!"
"Haha, this scene looks great."
"This is really like shooting yourself in the foot."
Everyone congratulated Li Jie one after another, and Li Jie responded with a smile.
Hearing the commotion around him, Gao Sheng's face was gloomy and uncertain, with patches of green and white appearing like his face changing in Sichuan Opera. His hands placed under the table were clenched and clenched. After this banquet, he could be said to have lost all face. Failed completely, I never expected that Li Jie had such a high attainment in poetry and prose. I was confused by the poems he had passed in the previous scientific examination.
What happened tonight will definitely be spread out after the banquet is over, and his status in the family will definitely be affected. Thinking of this, Gao Sheng's face couldn't help but turn pale. He regretted that he shouldn't have done such an act, and that he shouldn't have been trying to gain a moment of arrogance. It doesn't matter if he is better than Li Jie in poetry and prose, his position as the head of the case cannot be shaken at all. Li Jie is still convinced by Li Jie's advancement in craftsmanship.
He just sighed and said that he didn't know what kind of demon he was possessed by, and he actually did things that he would never do in the past.
