Chapter 385: Accusations, Doubts

The gentle breeze brings a touch of refreshing red bean soup served by the servants, and the atmosphere of the poetry meeting became more and more lively. The literati and talented people present, who knew the advantages and disadvantages of poetry, and they also had one or two good works in their hands. At this time, they took them out one by one and compared them. Among the previous works, Fang Wenyang had already written a very prominent poem, but then a new lyric of Yu Shaoyuan's song came out, "Who can hold Miluo's snow for thousands of feet", and everyone felt that it was better and could become a masterpiece that could be passed down for a hundred years.

In Bianliang City, there are several such works every year. Of course, some are because the atmosphere is here and they are praised, and some are because the lyrics are indeed excellent. Yu Shaoyuan has been in the capital recently, but his fame is still not as good as Zuo Xiliang and Fang Wenyang, who have been famous for several years, but at the time of spring breeze, sometimes there is a sense of synergy between heaven and earth. This new lyrics that I got from my hand are praised in everyone's eyes. Ji Wanqing smiled and sang the lyrics with a cappella, but she felt a little annoyed. This lyrics are better than the Dragon Boat Festival lyrics he gave him before. How could he take them out on the spot? If he was kept, he might be able to fight against Li Shishi tomorrow.

Among the most famous poets in Bianliang, Zhou Bangyan is the one who is truly powerful. However, Zhou Meicheng is now re-entering his career and writing lyrics, only Li Shishi, who has a deep personal relationship with him, can get it. If he performs well, he will give Li Shishi a masterpiece, and he may be able to withstand this poem by Yu Shaoyuan.

I thought this way, but since I have taken it out, there is no way at the moment. Yu Shaoyuan was quite proud of his lyrics, and was humble with everyone with high spirits. Occasionally, he was in love with Ji Wanqing, and the more he looked at Li Shishi in Yu Guang was proud. Fang Wenyang was a little lost. But the focus of the entire poetry meeting was finally on these talents. Ning Yi and others sat down, and soon found their belongings in this unnoticed atmosphere, and happily participated.

"Meet Master Lu, my disciple Yu Hezhong, two years ago, I listened to Master Lu's lecture on "Mencius" in Yueshan's a whore-tourist hut, and I have benefited a lot. See you today, please give me a greeting..."

Through the crowd from the side, Yu Hezhong went to the front. He found a teacher who had listened to the class. Among the few knowledgeable people in front of him, the five were the most famous. Nowadays, Qin Mowen and Xue Gongyuan of the "Mo Gong" of Junwen Society; Lu Mingfang, who was famous for his annotation of "Mencius", Pan Hongda, who runs schools everywhere and has a lot of disciples; and also has a very knowledgeable Grand Secretary who served as the Imperial College Supervisor, Yan Lingzhong. Yu Hezhong once heard Lu Mingfang give a lecture. Although Lu Mingfang did not remember him, he naturally smiled and said kindly, and then asked about his studies symbolically, his current achievements, and encouraged him to sit down nearby.

This is the case with such poetry meetings, chatting and expressing them casually. There are high and low knowledge between each other, and not many people are really aggressive. Yuhezhong's knowledge is not as good as those present. But to be fair, even if others sometimes seem to be grateful to the teacher, in most cases, he still likes to participate in such gatherings. As long as there are not many extraneous things and being in the middle of it, he also feels like a great literati and talented man living such a wonderful life in making friends in the world. Even if he can't produce a few shocking works, he will talk to the stern officials of the same level as him in the Ministry of Revenue. It is also very respectful.

I was a little wary of whether Ji Wanqing would have a conflict with Shishi. Now it seems that the atmosphere is harmonious and it doesn't look like it. Turning around, Chen Sifeng was talking and greeting a few people he knew. At the end of the corridor, Ning Yi was also talking and laughing with the people beside him. It seemed that he had already integrated into the atmosphere and was not watched by many people. Shishi arrived ahead and saw Yu Shaoyuan's new lyrics while everyone was talking and laughing. After looking at him with surprise, he couldn't help but praise the poems and works of Fang Wenyang and others. The ordinary and joyful poetry meeting scenes.

If everything goes on like this, I believe that this poetry meeting will be a good story for a while in the future. At this time, Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng have somewhat relaxed their vigilance. Shishi is a little strange, but for a while, he can't think of what will happen. Most of the participants in the poetry meeting are just for the gathering, enjoying the cool and rare morning before the Dragon Boat Festival. Seeing Yu Shaoyuan and others' enthusiasm, they occasionally smile and interject a few words, which is quite happy. As for some wealthy children who come to watch the show and watch the excitement, they are also enjoying the atmosphere of the poetry meeting first.

Among the crowd, sitting next to Ning Yi was a young man named Zheng Kaiqing. He was famous in his hometown and had been in the capital for two or three years. He became familiar with this circle and made some famous. Even though he was less than Yu Shaoyuan Fang Wenyang's reputation, someone would invite him to poetry, which was his status. Originally, it was just because the people around him were Li Shishi's friends. After a few words, they found that the other person was well-known, generous, and quite good in temperament. So he started talking and laughing a few words. Occasionally, a manuscript of poetry came and savored each other.

After a while of this, Zheng Kaiqing left a little, and when he came back, he was about to sit down and say a few interesting things to the other party. He heard someone in front of him say, "Is this Ning Liheng from Jiangning?"

When Zheng Kaiqing saw that the man looked here, he was not sure what had happened. The man added: "Is that friend of Shishi the one-night fish and dragon dance Ning Liheng in Jiangning?"

Zheng Kaiqing also heard about the "one night fish and dragon dance" and "when will the bright moon appear?" At this time, the man next to him stood up and bowed and smiled: "Well, it's just..." For a moment, he couldn't help but feel like a creeping tiger and hiding dragon in his heart.

Although Ning Yi's poems were taken out, he could not reach the point where everyone could be admired by signing up without the accumulation and sublimation of time. Even if the brothels were sung and were popular, it would not be possible to reach the height of Zhou Bangyan's business for many years. Soon, everyone took out the poems again, and some people mentioned that Ning Yi was the "No. 1 talented man in Jiangning". It gave people the feeling that suddenly happened. At most, there was a big figure who might be comparable to Yu Shaoyuan and Fang Wenyang. However, among a few words, Ning Yi's words were modest and polite behavior. Many people felt that he was not interested in showing off for the time being or did not have a good work, so he just paid a little attention. It was impossible to put all his attention here because of a few good poems that had already had years and months.

But even so, this "old friend of Shishi" has received some attention. Zheng Kaiqing next to him carefully paid attention to Ning Yi, looking forward to whether there would be any good works here, but then a friend called him over to read a poem. After he passed by, he vaguely heard someone saying, "That guy is just a person who seeks fame..." There is a circle of poetry, but others are not on guard against him. He paid a little attention and only heard that a small number of people were talking about it. Ning Liheng's reputation is watery.

"I heard the rumor that a monk chanted, and he used it to exchange it for his reputation..."

"Aren't you a Taoist priest..."

"The Jiangning side has been exposed long ago..."

"Look at him, there has not been any poetry in this year. Who has ever heard of his new lyrics..."

"The number one talented man in Jiangning is Cao Guan... I heard that this is just what he claims to be proclaimed..."

Bianliang gathers talents from all over the world. Although Jiangning is a big city, when it comes to "Jiangning's No. 1 talented man", it is nothing in the category of "the world", and everyone cannot feel awe. At this time, I questioned it, and there are all kinds of statements. Zheng Kaiqing heard it a little, and looked back, and was a little confused: Could that Ning Liheng really be a liar who seeks fame?

At a poetry meeting like this, a person appeared as a friend of Li Shishi. He had no talent, and no one would feel anything or be hostile. But when he appeared, he had no talent, he acted as powerful as Yu Shaoyuan and Fang Wenyang. After gaining fame, he gave people another feeling. At this time, someone was already asking something. Before Zheng Kaiqing could hear it clearly, suddenly a voice suddenly started to roar, alarming the audience: "Zhu Zi! Do you still remember me!"

***************

In fact, most of the time, Ning Yi was still full of tolerance and a kind personality. Participating in such social occasions was not a burden for him. He was also willing to see the spirit of these literati and show their strength in such a situation. In his opinion, people who have specialized in their professions and can devote their efforts to their own fields are worthy of respect.

In such occasions, it is nothing more than a flower-sed sedan chair, and Ning Yi is happy to live in a corner. Even if someone tells him about his identity and carries out his identity as the "No. 1 talented man in Jiangning", he is more willing to give people praise. Even if someone asks for opinions, he agrees with many of the poems about this matter.

In this case, Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng also wrote a work on each other. Ning Yi responded generously and appropriately, and he had a good temperament. Even if he didn't write poetry, no one would say bad things. Soon after, someone passed on the manuscript of Yu Shaoyuan's second poem. Ning Yi looked at it and it was a song "Nian Nujiao":

"The old customs of Chu and Xiang, remembering the flow of millet and mourning, remembering the loyalty. Who lifted Miluo thousands of feet of snow, washed away some souls and parted. Winning children, red silk wrapped their arms, and the good stories were said every year. Dragon boats competed for crossing, flags and drums were beaten with arrogance. Who recited the songs, the romantic guest, calamus, peach and willows, remembering the laying of the boudoir door. Chewing the Tao Yaxing, fighting for the fun of the year. Green apricot garden, a bottle of wine should be poured into the water. The southern fumigation should be relieved, blowing the worries and ripping the sleeves of your sorrow."

This word is quite good, and even several old people say that just talking about this word, it is enough to be admitted to the Imperial College. Someone asked, "What do Liheng think?"

Ning Yi replied: "It's really a good word."

Only someone spoke there: "Why didn't Liheng write the previous song? Compare with Mr. Yu, who is higher and lower."

The one who made the sound was a woman. Ning Yi looked up and it was Princess Zhou Qing from the Chong Prince's Mansion. She was smiling and looking over. When Zhou Pei came to visit him one day, he said that his cousin was good to her and also mentioned the princess' name during dinner, so Ning Yi still had a good impression of her. At this time, she asked Ning Yi to write lyrics, and the people around him echoed a few words: "Young Master Ning can make lyrics like 'one night fish and dragon dance', and then he will be a masterpiece."

Someone smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to this poetry meeting will become a good story."

Yu Shaoyuan's eyes were a little gloomy, and he raised his head and bowed and smiled, "I'm just about to see Brother Ning's talent. It's better to ask Brother Ning for help."

Ning Yi shook his head and smiled, "Brother Yu is a talented man. Nian Nujiao is a masterpiece. When I see it next, I can only give up the disadvantage and stop offering a bad reputation."

Yu Shaoyuan's side was probably recommended to the Imperial College because of this poem. He was on guard against Ning Yi. At this time, Ning Yi gave in and gave him his fame. Before he could even think about whether to stop or force him over when he saw it, a smile appeared on his face. At this moment, someone next to him said, "Are you Ning Liheng?"

Ning Yi almost subconsciously replied: "That's it."

The man said again: "Are you really Ning Liheng?"

These two sentences were a little abrupt. Ning Yi frowned and saw that the person in front of him had already slapped the table: "Zhu Zi! Do you still remember me!"

The man in front of him was all his hair and beards. It was Xue Gongyuan of Junwen Society. Ning Yi naturally found a reflection at this time. On the night he had arrived in Bianliang, he accused him and Yun Zhu at the door of the alum building. The old man he scolded was this person. He felt helpless and funny. He secretly scolded himself for being a sin that he was so self-destructive. He naturally pretended not to know anything: "Why did this old man say this?"

"Hey, you forgot. A few days ago, at the door of the alum building, you and a woman were tugging on the street, and they were ill-faced! You were so gentle that you were so polite! I pointed out this, and you actually spoke ill of you. I can recognize you at this time!"

After he said this, everyone was upset. Ning Yi frowned and bowed: "Honey, did you remember it wrong? There is no such thing as this, you must have made a mistake."

This matter seemed a bit sudden, and Gongyuan Xue was so confident, but Ning Yi was extremely innocent and sincere in a moment. Shishi saw this incident. He had already remembered Ning Yi when he called him earlier, but it was not good to let Ning Yi leave at that time. He could only expect that the distance between Gongyuan and Ning Yi would make Xue Gongyuan not recognize him. But at this time, he saw Ning Yi's performance, and was surprised and could not help but cover his mouth and hold back his laughter. This matter was very abrupt. If anyone knew it, she would not think it was a conspiracy of Ji Wanqing and others.

But after Ning Yi denied it, Xue Gongyuan was so angry that he slapped the table again: "Zhu Zi! You dare to deny it! They just said to me that you are a liar who seeks fame, and I still don't believe it. At this time, I recognized you, but you dare to pretend to be kind. At this time, I can conclude that you, such as Meng Lang and unrepentant, the reputation of a talented man in Jiangning must be deceived. Today is Bianliang, not Jiangning, and I must let you not deceive this reputation!"

After he finished speaking, the Grand Secretary Yan Lingzhong shook his head: "Mr. Xue, this matter has not yet been concluded, so it is not good to be so arbitrary."

Someone in the crowd said, "I think he is a liar...", but he was a wealthy young man who was very close to Zhou Qing.

These sounds came out, and the rest of the people were clamoring. Shishi sat there, but suddenly frowned and looked at Ji Wanqing beside him. Ning Yi suddenly frowned.

Things…seem to be a little wrong.

If this incident was just an accident caused by Xue Gongyuan, Ning Yi could only think that he was not lucky and a coincidence, but this may not be the case at the moment. Judging from their words, it seemed that someone had already told Ning Yi about the situation to those people in front of him. Suddenly, so many doubters and accusers broke out in the crowd, which was not in line with the laws of the development of the matter.

It is not surprising that Ning Yi's first talented man may have doubts when he came to Bianliang because of rumors. However, over such a period of time, it changed into this, and it seemed that what these people conveyed to Xue Gongyuan and the one-sidedly recognized Ning Yi's claim to fame and reputation. It is almost impossible to say that it is purely the natural development of rumors.

He became alert for a moment. On the other side, Xue Gongyuan slapped the table and recounted what happened in the Alum Tower that night. People in the Yanling Order still held a conservative attitude, allowing Xue Gongyuan to restrain him and give Ning Yi a chance to defend and prove him. Some people in the crowd said that Ning Yi did not write poems and lyrics this time.

Yu Shaoyuan bowed his hand in front and said aloud: "I am willing to believe this brother Ning. Mr. Xue, you may as well give him a chance. Brother Ning, you are called the number one talent in Jiangning. In this song "Nian Nujiao", can you really not be able to see Brother Ning's eyes and arouse any poetic excitement?"

Ji Wanqingying stood up on the other side: "The little girl also thinks she should give Young Master Ning a chance. After all, he was brought by Miss Shishi. Everyone, it's okay not to give Miss Shishi any face."

At this time, she finally pulled Ning Yi and Li Shishi together. However, since the beginning, Shishi sat there with a small fan covering her lips, as if she was thinking about something. At this time, she looked around and looked at Ning Yi, and said, "You are so aggressive. If you want to talk about poetry, Brother Ning has written a poem before, but it was written to his wife at home. Shishi promised him not to say it. But no matter how Brother Ning thought, it seems a bit bad for you to do this suddenly..."

She also realized in her heart that things were not simple. She was even wondering why it turned out like this. On the other hand, she was a little unaware of how Ning Yi was preparing to deal with it, and she was hesitant about the words. If Ning Yi was willing to make the song "Huanxisha" public, at least it could resolve the doubts, but Ning Yi was willing to refuse, or if he refused to use this song "Huanxisha", what should he do if he couldn't think of a better lyrics on the spot? These were all in her mind.

But she said that Ning Yi wrote a poem, and everyone might be looking forward to it, but at this time, she couldn't say it out, and the whistle of doubt suddenly arose. Someone said, "Miss Shishi is very nice to her friends. We all know that it's not good if you have to cover it up in this situation..."

Someone said, "What are you unwilling to say? If Miss Shishi said a song casually, she said it was written by this person, would you believe it too..."

After all, there were still many people standing on Shishi's side in the crowd: "Do you don't believe what Shishi girl said?"

With such words, the originally lively poetry meeting suddenly turned into a trial meeting that caught a liar. It became even more lively. However, Shishi and Ning Yi's eyes swept over and summarized in their hearts who were firmly fueling the fire. They could analyze the outline of the situation slightly. Among the crowd, the people who had originally come to watch the show knew that the scene had already come on stage, and looked at Ning Yi who was standing here, and became even more excited. In such an occasion, standing in the questioning of everyone, being a judge was at a disadvantage, and even Shishi there was a little nervous. Of course, Ning Yi understood this truth and felt the difficult situation. He smiled and shook his head.

"If I write poems, can I prove my innocence?"

Xue Gongyuan yelled over there: "You can write poetry too! Don't insult poetry! No matter what you do, you can't cover up the fact of misconduct..."

Someone in the crowd said: "Of course it's not enough to just write a poem. Watching the fish and dragon dance that night, what kind of talented man in Jiangning is so talented, at least it must be better than the young master's Nian Nujiao!"

"If it's better than Nian Nujiao, then the one who should be admitted to the Imperial College isn't it this Young Master Ning..."

"If he writes well, he will naturally be qualified..."

"Article is natural, I think it's just that I can get a little bit..."

In this case, the most troublesome thing is that it is noisy. One and the second one is achieved. The standards that everyone says are ever-changing and can always be ignored. Even a truly talented person may not be able to play well under such a situation that a thousand men are referring to him. If he spreads out in the future, his reputation will still be destroyed. And how amazing it is to find a big liar at such a poetry meeting, everyone is happy and adds to the fire. Someone said to Shi Shi: "Miss Shi Shi, although you have a good heart, you don't have to participate in this matter. Don't be bullied by this liar."

Lu Mingfang said over there: "This is very true. Even if you are a friend, you should not be hiding and indulging you at this time. Hezhong, this person is also your friend. What do you think?"

Yu Hezhong was already in awe of Lu Mingfang, and at this time he bowed and said, "Disciple... I haven't seen him for a long time and I'm not familiar with him. If he... If he is really a person who seeks fame, I should draw a clear line with him. But..." He felt that it was a bit bad to say this. When he wanted to say something to supplement, Lu Mingfang had already nodded: "Okay, you go down."

But Li Shishi said over there: "I believe in Brother Ning."

In this chaotic situation, almost everyone had dispersed and Ning Yi was standing there. At the same time, Zhou Pei, who was rushing toward this side door, was already looking at this place anxiously and calming his breathing. She knew that even if he ran out at this time, it might not be of any use. The matter was so difficult, and she was a little worried about whether Ning Yi could solve it. After all, even if he really wrote a good poem at this time, it might not be able to solve all the problems. After writing the poem, they would take other exams in the school. None of them would be able to make up for it. No one was a versatile talent. They would definitely have something that they were not good at. Following their pace, they would not be left with any face in the end. Even if they said it out, most of the people who were exams in this way would be inferior.

At this moment, she heard Ning Yi speak again there.

"I have a weird temper. If you want me to write, I just don't want to write." He smiled. "I'm very curious about what's going on. Shishi doesn't have to take out that word... If I don't write, what can you do?"

His answer was a bit unexpected rogue. If he didn't prove it now, his reputation would definitely be destroyed if he told it. But the other party is so bachelor's attitude now. Standing there, he still holds his foot on his aura without losing his edge, which obviously disappoints the expectations of a group of audiences.

Among the five people in front, Pan Hongda, who had a serious expression, obviously did not like Ning Yi's attitude, and said in a deep voice: "Today we will make friends with poetry, but we did not expect to be disrupted by such a thing. But just about what we have just heard, Ning Liheng, if you really have no explanation today, I, Pan Hongda, promise you that you are in Bianliang in the future, don't even think about fame and wealth. I will report to the court, making it difficult for you to move in Bianliang, and even be punished and imprisoned. Do you believe it?"

Among these people, Pan Hongda was very strict in his academic discipline and had a bad temper. He had always known that he would say such things at this time. He was just questioned at the poetry meeting, and at most he was ruined, so how could he be convicted and imprisoned? Ning Yi glanced at him and said, "Oh? What's the reason?"

Everyone on the side actually frowned, feeling that they were saying too much. Shishi raised her head and was a little surprised. Ji Wanqing frowned and said, "Old Pan, this is a bit...

"What do you know!" Pan Hongda glanced at her, "Hmph, do you know that this person is not only a talented man in Jiangning, but also a guest of the Kang Prince's Mansion, but also a teacher of Zhou Junwu, the little prince of Kang Prince, and Zhou Pei, and Zhou Pei, the princess of the Princess!"

When this was said, everyone was uproared.

***************

The next chapter is now coded, I am wondering if everyone votes for me and I will update it in the early morning...

Uh, it's eleven o'clock, this sentence may be a little late, I don't know how many people can see it...
Chapter completed!
