Although, there is a simple speaker made of iron sheet at the pier, which is used exclusively for talking to passing ships.
But the distance was too far, and in Wangjiang Pavilion, it was impossible to hear what Zeng Yu was shouting.
It is probably to commemorate Qu Yuan, in this spirit, to instill patriotism in the people, and to pray for the peace and prosperity of the country and other routine words.
As Zeng Yu finished reciting, Lifu picked up the drumstick and beat the big drum on the shore loudly, and the dragon boat race officially began.
Five kilometers to the right of the pier, dragon boats are lined up in eighteen villages.
Although the dragon boats in the countryside are not as good as the boats from various counties participating in the city competitions, not many people have been to Chang'an, and they still enjoy watching them.
At the beginning, colorful flags on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were fluttering.
As the thunderous gong sounded, the men on each dragon boat shouted chants and started rowing.
Gradually, the distance between the dragon boats in front and behind...
It wasn't until noon that the dragon boat race ended.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed reluctantly.
The elders of each township organized the leaders and villagers to pull the dragon boat ashore and put it in the designated position before retreating.
The first-place team each received a reward of 100 yuan and a bronze medal symbolizing honor.
In the afternoon, it was a grand gathering of literati.
Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Party!
The eighth brother-in-law, Wang Chuan, also participated.
He just wants to win the first place and study in the county government study.
It was a coincidence that the competition venue was Wangjiang Pavilion.
The number of applicants can be large or small, and they will be randomly assigned by the officials, and they will be pinched in pairs, and the gentlemen of each private school will judge until the top eight are decided.
Scholars have a strong sense of patriotism.
If you want to enter the finals, you can only praise your virtues and serve your country with loyalty.
Only impassioned poems like "River is Red" will be appreciated by the gentlemen and have the chance to enter the finals.
Because there is no registration fee, more than 160 talents have signed up.
There were even more people watching the excitement, and they were surrounded three times inside and three times outside. If there were no soldiers to maintain order and just relying on the government officials, the scene might have become a mess.
But there is no registration fee, which also reflects another problem, that is, the poetry is too watery.
It is no exaggeration to say that some people may feel that they have no hope and what they write is nonsense.
The same rubbish as Qianlong's song "One piece, two pieces, three four pieces" can also be written and submitted.
The Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Festival is different from the imperial examination. Regardless of whether the poems are good or bad, they will be read out in public.
If it is written well, it will win the applause of the whole house; if it is written badly, it will also win the laughter of the whole house.
In a blink of an eye, only eight people were left.
Wang Chuan lived up to expectations and even entered the finals.
It may be that Yu Tiance entered the county study room, which severely damaged his self-confidence.
In the past two months, Wang Chuan didn't do much to please his father-in-law, so he locked himself in a small dark room and studied hard day and night.
The eight finalists were drawn by lot.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chuan passed through the pass and arrived at Wangjiang Pavilion.
Shen Kang was lying on the handrail of the corridor on the third floor, rolled his eyes at Yu Tiance beside him, and said with an accent in his voice: "Yueyang is the real strength, unlike some scoundrels who just take advantage of their shitty luck and are complacent!"
Shen Jing realized something was wrong and quickly pinched Yu Tiance.
Yu Tiance understands what the lady means.
In order to prevent the wife from getting angry, she just pretended not to hear Shen Kang's accusations.
As expected, Wang Chuan entered the finals this time!
Another scholar is Jiang Nan!
As for these two people, Yu Tiance would be dissatisfied with whoever entered the county study.
The two of them accomplished nothing except pretending.
Zeng Yu sat in the middle of Wangjiang Pavilion and glanced out the window.
"Wouldn't it make people miss such a prosperous age? How about you two write a poem about the prosperous age, praising the peace and prosperity of the Yu Kingdom and the peace of the people. A stick of incense will stop when the incense burns out."
In a blink of an eye, the two of them picked up their brushes, thought for a moment, and started writing.
The scholars who were watching were talking a lot.
"These two, the one on the left is the young master of the Jiang family! His three brothers are all Juren and manage three casinos respectively!"
"The one on the right is not simple either! He is a teacher from Yueyang Private School in Beicheng and the husband of the eighth lady of the Shen family."
“Alas, for people like us who have no background, we won’t even be able to take part in the Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Festival!”
…
Perhaps because time was too tight, the poems written by the two of them did not have much highlights and could not appear in the textbooks of later generations.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a little better than Qianlong.
However, the game must be won or lost.
Finally, under the joint deliberations of the county magistrate Zeng Yu, the county magistrate Qin Xiao, Zuo County Wei, You County Wei, Dian Shi, Jiao Yu, Tax Department, Yi Cheng, and Shi Ye, it was decided that the winner of this Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Competition would be Wang Chuan .
When the results were announced, the nine daughters of the Shen family clapped and applauded at the same time. The other brothers-in-law, with a hint of jealousy in their eyes, also clapped their hands.
The eighth brother-in-law, Wang Chuan, cried with joy.
After several years of busy work, he finally entered the county study and became a disciple of the county magistrate.
Shen Kang also breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, Yu Tiance can't always use his status as the county magistrate's disciple to suppress him!
…
In a wealthy and gentry family like the Shen family, except for Yu Tiance, Shen Kang would organize a banquet for anyone who did something good.
But for some reason, the eighth brother-in-law Wang Chuan entered the county government study to study. Shen Kang picked up his wine glass and began to educate Yu Tiance again.
"Biaozi, it's okay to learn from your eighth brother-in-law. You just got lucky. He is the one who got into the county study room with real ability. As the old saying goes, you should be low-key in life and high-key in doing things. If you do this, you will be fine. Not far away..."
This doesn't sound right to me.
Shen Jing realized something was wrong, grabbed Yu Tiance's hand, and retorted with a small mouth: "Dad, Lang Jun is keeping a low profile! Lang Jun sells a painting for a hundred taels, when did he blow it?"
"You girl, can you become an official by painting?"
Shen Kang rolled his eyes at Shen Jing, and then said to Yu Tiance: "Don't be complacent because of your bad luck. Like your eighth brother-in-law, you can write a good poem with just a stick of incense. This is your ability."
"Dad! Why do you keep talking about husband..."
"You girl, I am your father, why do you always turn to outsiders? Shut up!"
Shen Kang became more and more enthusiastic as he talked and filled a cup for himself: "Biaozi, the county magistrate just took a fancy to your weird mind and was a little interested in your crooked ways, so he let you enter the study room to study. Take a pee and take a look at yourself. You have to weigh a few pounds, don’t have the body of a pug, you have to be a lazy person!”
Cough cough cough!
At the last sentence, the eight brothers-in-law just sprayed it. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their faces turned red from holding it in.
The eight daughters all covered their faces in shame.
What Shen Kang said is really good!
A body as big as a pug has a horse's egg. What kind of match is that?
Shen Jing was helpless and turned to look at Yu Tiance.
"Ms. sir, there's no need to give me face."
safe!
This father-in-law is so dishonest!
In Chang'an Jiang Yue Tower, he won a jade pendant worth thousands of dollars with his song "Peach Blossom Temple".
In the eldest brother-in-law's inn, one of his lyrics and music cost the eldest brother-in-law several pennies.
Has Shen Kang forgotten these things?
If you want to scold me, why bother without words!
Yu Tiance picked up a glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Father-in-law, you said that the eighth brother-in-law is good at writing poems, how about we compete? If I lose, I will kowtow to you every time I come here. Not only that, I will also take off my clothes and go to the door of Zuifeng Tower Dance! However, if the eighth brother-in-law loses..."
