Chapter 16 Undercurrent

The March poetry meeting is getting closer and closer.

The interior and exterior of the Zhou family are decorated with fresh decorations. The Shengchun Garden is full of flowers. In the middle of the yard, among the green orchid clusters, the word "Poetry" is placed with red azaleas, and it seems to be coming out, making the entire Shengchun Garden full of a strong atmosphere of poetry and books.

The seats of the VIPs in the poetry meeting have been placed. The red sandalwood backrest chair is covered with bright red Western velvet blankets in front. The thousand red lanterns arranged in a scattered manner in Shengchun Garden can be said to be complementary, luxurious and solemn, and the wealth and taste of the owner are everywhere.

Because it was the big moon, from the 30th day, the maids and servants of the three rooms of the Zhou family gathered in Shengchun Garden. Under the leadership of the great butler Cai Chang, the entire Shengchun Garden was cleaned up in a spotless manner. All kinds of wine and food arrangements and seat arrangements were extremely sophisticated and sought excellence.

Starting from Shengchun Garden, it extends to the entire Zhou family courtyard. Finally, outside the Zhou family gate, four large words "Lishui Poetry Meeting" are placed in thousands of pots of green grass and flowers. In each pot that forms the font, there are small and exquisite red lanterns.

When night falls, passers-by can also see the four vigorous words "Lishui Poetry Meeting" from afar.

From Chenshi to Shenshi, the old man of the Zhou family took the Zhou family's chiefs, the second and third rooms to the front door in person, and followed them were all men and women from all sides of the Zhou family.

Zhou Ruoshui, the second house, Zhou Lin, Zhou Tao, the third house, Zhou Qiao, and Zhou Rou were all wearing brand new scholar uniforms. Mr. Chen also came. As the old master invited by the boss, he is also the master today, accompanying the masters to welcome guests.

The butler Cai Changze stood behind the master, and the bluestone lion's side was the ceremonial master.

At the end of the Shen period, scholars who participated in the poetry meeting began to arrive one after another.

Outside the Zhou family's gate gradually became lively.

When every scholar entered the door, he had a special maid leading him to Shengchun Garden. Almost everyone in the Zhou family, except for the female relatives who had no fame in the backyard, were moved.

"Master Luo Liqun of the Luo family is here!"

"The Wu family, Master Wu Xiuwen, is here!"

"Sima's Sima Tong is here!"

"Mr. Gao Xuezi, Mr. Jing Wen, is here..."

"Sir Gao, Sui Long, arrived..."

Cai Chang's voice was loud and clear, and his penetration was very strong. The heads of all the families arrived one after another. There were many high scholars with fame and fortune, and the middle school scholars who participated in the poetry meeting gradually began to get restless.

"Brother Ruhai, congratulations, congratulations, Ruhai has a daughter named Rushui. Not only is she extraordinary talented and knowledgeable, but she is reborn as if she is like a lotus from the water. Today's poetry meeting will probably show her face..." Luo Liqun, the head of the Luo family, smiled and bowed with fists, and was filled with harmony.

"Brother Liqun, you are not fully explained. Ruhai has a beautiful daughter, and it is said that he has a good son-in-law. Although Rushui's niece will show her face at this poetry meeting, Ruhai's good son-in-law, Mr. Tang, is even more amazing. At the poetry meeting, the talented man in the Western Qin Dynasty appeared. I am afraid that looking at the major poetry meetings of Wuling, our Lishui poetry meeting is definitely the only one. After today, it will inevitably become a good story." Behind Luo Liqun, Wu Xiuwen of the Wu family came over and said haha.

Luo Liqun hurriedly said, "Brother Ruhai, I have neglected, I should avenge me! Although today is a middle school poetry meeting, I heard that Mr. Tang is very talented, and his talent must not be limited to the scope of middle school. So Brother Wu and Brother Sima, I decided to invite several great talents from Wangdu High School to come, just to treat it as a support for our nephew Tang who is squandered..."

Luo Liqun and Wu Xiuwen sang together, but they led to Tang Yulai.

Coincidentally, Luo Heng, a scholar from the Luo family, Su Jing, a scholar from the Lishui Middle School, and others also came one after another...

They walked to Zhou Ruoshui and other fellow scholars. Luo Heng's eyes firmly locked Zhou Ruoshui and said, "Miss Ruoshui, we are also here to admire Mr. Tang's name. I don't know if Sister Ruoshui can help us introduce..."

Zhou Lin next to Zhou Ruoshui smiled and said, "Brother Luo, don't worry. My brother-in-law, Mr. Tang, is a talented man, naturally, will come in the end. Brother Luo, wait for Shengchun Garden first. The poetry meeting will come. Mr. Tang will naturally come. It is not too late for us to invite you again..."

Su Jing laughed and said, "Brother Zhou Lin, what do you mean? Did you never see this young master Tang before?"

Zhou Lin laughed again and said, "Brother Su Jing is right. My brother-in-law, Mr. Tang, has always been sick and weak. I have come here several times but have not been able to meet him. However, I have never seen him. Mr. Tang has a poem, "I am born to be useful, and I will come again after all the money is gone." I often remember it.

The poem I do is like the person, but I am not unfamiliar with this prospective brother-in-law…”

Zhou Lin was erotic and screamed at his brother-in-law, as if Tang Yu and Zhou Ruoshui had already been engaged. The two "false poems" he said later, combined with a poem like the person, was a bit naked provocation and satirical.

It is said that the second wife of the Zhou family and the eldest wife are in conflict. Before the Zhou family’s poetry meeting started today, Zhou Lin started to attack again.

Zhou Ruoshui, who was beside him, was embarrassed and annoyed, but couldn't speak out.

However, Luo Heng and Su Jing were furious by Zhou Lin's two brother-in-law.

They were all admirers of Zhou Ruoshui. Zhou Lin said one by one, which made them crazy jealousy, while the scholars around them were just laughing.

Obviously, "I am born with talent and will be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone." These two sentences are widely circulated in Lishui Middle School. The scholars have heard and passed on. As for the evaluation..."

"Zhou Lin, you don't know what occasion this is. Can two wrong poems be said in this occasion? What kind of morality is that people who study do not pay attention to the right path but do things that make people say tricks and make people look good!"

A solemn voice rang out.

The scholars at the door looked back and saw that the visitor was a middle-aged man wearing a green-summer silk satin robe. He had no white face and looked gentle, but he was angry at this time but had a serious look, without a trace of the elegance of a traditional literati.

The scholars quickly lowered their heads and said in unison: "Master Ma!"

Ma Tengyue, Lishui Middle School, whose courtesy name is Qingyun, was named Gao Xuezi, and is now the supervisor of the middle school. The scholars are most afraid of him.

"Two wrong poems!" This is how Ma Tengyue defined these two poems for Tang Yu.

"Brother Ma, I think 'I am born with talent and will be useful. I will come back after all the money is gone. Although the confrontation is unfair, it is extraordinary. For middle school scholars, it is considered a good sentence to get these two sentences. Is it a bit too much to say a crooked poem?" Mr. Chen came over to say lightly next to Ma Tengyue.

Lishui Middle School is a middle school supported by businessmen. In addition to the masters, the teachers in the school were invited by the money given by the four major businessmen.

Therefore, there is not a very harmonious relationship between the Master and the Master, and each represents the interests of the family behind it.

Ma Tengyue was the master invited by the Luo family and the Wu family, and the ones secretly supported the Luo family and the Wu family.

Mr. Chen was invited by the Zhou family, so he naturally supported the Zhou family.

Ma Tengyue denounced Tang Yu's poem as a wrong poem, and Master Chen had an objection, so the two of them tied up at the door.

Ma Tengyue raised his thick eyebrows and said coldly: "Brother Chen, my scholars, the way to seek fame and fortune depends on the orthodox classical eight-legged essays. Did Brother Chen forget that the four-legged essays after the eight-legged essays must be neat and rigorous? I said that Brother Chen is also a talented person, but he has not been able to obtain fame after repeated trials. It seems that the rigorous way of studying still needs to be improved!"

"You..." Master Chen was furious, but he couldn't speak in a daze.

Ma Tengyue relied on his fame and fame in high school, and one sentence hit Master Chen's weakness.

What Master Chen regrets most in his life is that he has not achieved great fame. Although his talent and talent are recognized as high, he is too short of qualifications and has repeatedly lost in the word "intellectual". He has been slow to get to the threshold of his practice. Ma Tengyue is not polite and does not leave him any face, so that he cannot stand in front of his students...

The two masters started to squat, how could the scholars dare to say anything?

Fortunately, Cai Chang, the emcee on the side, was alert. He pulled his neck and shouted loudly: "Doctor Wei from Lishui Middle School is here!"

After shouting, he rubbed his forehead hard with his cuffs.

The situation just now really made the master embarrassed. Fortunately, Master Wei came and finally got the chance.
