Although crab meat is beautiful, it is not advisable to eat too much.
When Zhu Ping'an finished two crabs and was about to switch to roast goose, everyone present stood up to greet the visitor.
When the students and scholars from Taihu, Wangjiang and other counties saw the visitor, they were all ecstatic. They never expected that Zhou Xuezheng, the master of Xuezheng in Anqing Prefecture, who was in charge of the government studies, would also come. Zhou Xuezheng was the most upright person. There was a good show here. Saw it.
When uncle Zhu Shouren and others saw Zhou Xuezheng, they were excited and worried at the same time. County Xuezheng was not only the principal now, but also equivalent to an official of the Education Bureau in the Ming Dynasty. They were excited because they wanted to show off in front of Master Xuezheng. , if you can be appreciated, give me a few pointers, this time the boy's exam is not just a search for something; the anxiety is that they know what the students and scholars from other counties are here to do, they want to find us in Huaining County, but we are not That's fine, but Zhu Pingan will definitely be made a lot of trouble by other county people. If he makes a fool of himself, it's not just an accident, but he will definitely make a fool of himself. It depends on how ugly he is. Maybe, Zhu Pingan was made a fool of himself last time. The poem "Snake bites and hears the cry of the bird" is his peak work... What should we do...
Zhou Xuezheng is upright again and will definitely criticize the Huaining County Examination. If he accuses the Master of Fu Zun or even the Master of Academic Affairs of Nanzhili, then something serious will happen. Not only the people of Huaining County will be affected by the Fu Ning Examination, but also the Academy Examination. It's definitely something very bad.
Uncle Zhu Shouren and others complained a little more about Zhu Ping'an.
Many people came, the first of whom was Zhou Xuezheng, followed by the well-known people in the county, such as Mr. Li, Mr. Zhao and others. Mr. Li, Mr. Zhao and others were all lords of the county, and their prestige was no less than that of Zhou Xuezheng. They were originally We met for tea and chatted about the government examination, but on the way I heard the news that Jingxian Tower was going to hold a Jingxian Poetry Party, and I also heard people ridiculing that there was a mediocre young man in Huaining County who ate and drank in the examination room and took a lunch break during the exam. But then he heard Zhu Ping'an's famous poem about being bitten by a snake and hearing the cry of a bird. Zhou Xuezheng blew his beard and glared angrily. If Mr. Li, Mr. Zhao and others hadn't stopped him, Zhou Xuezheng would have On the spot, I had to go to Fu Zun's house to try a copy of Ginseng Huaining County.
After calming down, Zhou Xuezheng heard someone talk about the mediocre foodie who was bitten by a snake. When he was at the Jingxian Poetry Club, he immediately changed direction with Mr. Li, Mr. Zhao and others, and stopped drinking tea and chatting, and went straight to Jingxian. Poetry will come.
We must find out and flog the free-spirited person who is just pretending to be a fool, trying to fish in troubled waters.
After the whipping is over, you still have to report to the government official to remove this incompetent person from the government examination, and urge the government official to investigate the crime of negligence of Huaining County!
Zhou Xuezheng, full of justice, stepped onto the building with the breeze in his sleeves.
After Zhou Xuezheng, Li Lao Zhao Lao and others, there were some scholars and scholars who came after hearing the news, and then came the students and scholars from other counties, including several famous students and scholars.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Several students and scholars went upstairs and bowed their hands to the students and scholars who came to greet them.
The students and scholars from other counties who came to welcome them were overjoyed. They punched these students hard on the shoulders and said with joy, "It's not only worthy of the name, it's beyond our wildest dreams. It's so perfect."
Everyone looked at each other, smiled, and took their seats one after another.
The upstairs was re-arranged. In addition to adding some elegant furnishings, the tables were also rearranged. Students and scholars sat on one side, while Zhou Xuezheng, Li Lao and Zhao Lao and other famous people sat on the other side.
As everyone took their seats, the Jingxian Poetry Party on the Jingxian Tower officially began.
The food and wine were arranged anew with the comings and goings of gorgeously dressed maids and servants. Even the singing and dancing upstairs were upgraded to a higher level. The beauty was as beautiful as jade, and she wanted to hide it but was ashamed of it. She sang and danced in a romantic way.
Because of the participation of Zhou Xuezheng, Li Lao Zhao, and others, the purpose of students and scholars from other counties was not only to make Huaining Zhu Ping'an look embarrassed, they also wanted to make a splash in front of Zhou Xuezheng, Li Lao Zhao, and others. Leave a good impression and hold the idea that "the strong wind can take advantage of me and send me to the blue sky and clouds".
Although he came here to question the students, Zhou Xuezheng was not in a hurry when he saw the gathering of students here. Anyway, the drunkard was there and couldn't run away, so he could take this opportunity to see the level of these young students. how.
The music started, and the singer slowed down her dance steps. Pieces of plain white rice paper were spread in front of everyone's tables. There were pens, inks, paper and inkstones in front of everyone. Anyone who was inspired could write a poem with ink and pass it on to everyone. .
The singer with a beautiful appearance and sweet voice sang softly the works of the students in the Jingxian Poetry Society. Mr. Li and others would occasionally comment on them. The students whose works were commented on were all overjoyed, and they handed over their hands and thanked them. Be polite.
From time to time at poetry gatherings, a talented person would write a masterpiece and boldly ask Zhou Xuezheng, Li Lao, Zhao Lao and others to comment on it. At this time, someone would copy the poem into several copies and circulate it among everyone.
Even the uncle Zhu Shouren stood up and wrote a poem for everyone to comment on. Although only a few people praised it, it still made the uncle hold his head high and feel proud.
The most unsociable person at this time is probably Zhu Ping'an. Others write poems for him to eat vegetables, others comment on his eating of vegetables, others applaud him for eating vegetables...
If one could rank the king of big eaters, Zhu Pingan would definitely be far ahead of everyone else.
Zhu Pingan was eating like this, just like a pig standing tall in a group of cranes. Zhou Xuezheng recognized it at a glance even without anyone pointing it out. Isn't it a sign of eating like a pig?
A kind person helped Zhu Pingan count the numbers and jokingly jotted them down on the paper. He ate two drunken crabs, one goose leg, a bowl of lotus seed soup, one braised prawn, and a piece of hibiscus snack... ...and then I told everyone that it was funny, and as a result, it became more widely circulated than ordinary people's poems, and almost everyone here knew it.
Zhou Xuezheng looked at the Zhu Ping'an recipe passed to his hand and frowned.
"Insulting politeness..."
"Ashamed to be in the company of this person..."
People heard the elegant meaning of Xiange, understood the meaning from the frowning brows of Zhou Xuezheng and others, and started to mock it one after another.
The atmosphere was just right. If we didn't take action at this time, we would wait longer. Students from other counties who had been prepared for a long time stepped forward, picked up a glass of wine, and started to attack Zhu Ping'an who was enjoying a delicious meal at the next table. The first shot in Huaining County:
"Could that person be Zhu Ping'an, the top talent in Huaining County? We all have poems to share, but why did you say nothing? Unless you think I can't bear to wait?"
Zhu Ping'an, who was thinking about what to try next, was stunned for a second by the sudden voice, but in the eyes of others, this was a sign of guilty conscience.
For a moment, all kinds of playful looks were on Zhu Pingan's body, like a spotlight.
(As for the helmsman, monthly tickets, etc., I remember them.)
