On the top of Wangxing Tower is a wide open-air terrace, where all kinds of scholars are walking, gathering in small and small groups, talking about today's poetry meeting.
The beautiful maid carefully walked among the crowd carrying snacks and snacks.
There was also a court lady invited from Baixiang Tower, who was singing a ditty, attracting nods from the audience.
There is also a pavilion in the center of the terrace. There are only a few people in it, but it attracts the attention of almost everyone.
Qin Zizhao climbed to the top of the building and soon joined the camp of county school students.
"Why did you come up here? Aren't you guarding the east gate with the edict below?"
Qin Zizhao waved his hand, "Forget it, I just met a great couplet scholar and he really slapped me in the face."
"The teachings asked me to come up and wake up and prepare for the poetry meeting later."
"What's going on? A great talent in couplets?" Other students from the county school were extremely surprised. "Although couplets are minor, they are similar to the rhythm of poetry. If the couplets are great, the poetry will definitely not be much different."
"What if I had my eyes punched?" Qin Zizhao explained the situation just now, and everyone else exclaimed in surprise.
"It's really interesting. There are five first couplets and twenty breaths to create the second couplet. Gu Jiaoyu dictated the first couplet and he was able to handle it with ease. It's really amazing."
"As long as there are no problems with the theory of economics and policy, I will definitely pass the county examination."
"It seems that you and I will have another classmate by then."
Qin Zizhao looked at the pavilion, "That young master in white clothes and holding a fan in his hand, is he from White Deer Academy?"
"I heard that the status is not ordinary. Otherwise, how could it be possible for two adults, the county magistrate and the county magistrate, to accompany me?"
"You didn't see it just now. Liu Chaosheng couldn't even speak in front of that man. He could only follow your grandfather as a foil."
Qin Zizhao squinted at the young man in white, feeling that something was not right.
"Go, go, what is my grandfather? My name is Xuezheng. If he hears you shouting like this, he will probably think that I am using his reputation, and he will beat me up when he goes back."
"I know, Qin Xuezheng." The other students have long been accustomed to it.
"Have you noticed that this young man from the academy is a bit strange?"
"What's weird?"
Qin Zizhao did not hide the disdain in his eyes, "Are you stupid by studying all day long? Look at that guy, he doesn't seem to have... an Adam's apple."
"Look at that face again. It's too delicate, with peach blossom eyes and thin lips. If this was a man, I wouldn't drink for a month."
After hearing this, all the students took a closer look and it turned out to be true. They all gave thumbs up, "Why don't you say that Zizhao is knowledgeable? Your focus is completely different from ours."
"We are all thinking about what kind of poem Liu Chaosheng will come up with tonight. It would be better for you to just check whether the person is a boy or a girl."
"awesome……"
In the pavilion, there were only four people sitting and two others standing.
The one standing is Liu Chaosheng, and the other is the maid of the young master in white.
Even though she is just a maid, her appearance is comparable to that of the oiran who is singing not far away, and she has a more endearing Xiaojiabiyu temperament.
The young man in white seemed too lazy to socialize, joking with the maid beside him from time to time.
Suddenly, the young man in white saw the candied haws in the hand of a wealthy daughter, and his watery peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up, "Cuiyue, what is that?"
The maid looked over and shook her head, "I don't know."
Liu Chaosheng, who was standing aside, said quickly, "That's a new snack that has recently come out in Linxian County. It's called candied haws of sugared haws. It's very popular in Linxian County."
"Candied haws on a stick?" The young man in white's eyes flashed, "Cuiyue, go and ask where you can find these candied haws on a stick. Buy a bunch and come back to try them."
Liu Chaosheng said, "Sir, there are many places where you can buy candied haws, but the most authentic one is at Sanyangmen."
"That's where the candied haws of icebergs were first sold. Why don't you go down and buy them for me?"
The young man in white had no intention of talking to him from beginning to end, but the maid bowed slightly to Liu Chaosheng and saluted.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. My son only eats what I buy for him."
The voice is neither salty nor bland, and can repel people thousands of miles away.
The other three people on the pavilion table all looked at each other, then shook their heads helplessly.
There is no way, this young man is the guest of honor at this poetry gathering.
It would be fine if he was just an academy student. After all, there is still a long way to go before he can reach officialdom. Whether he can go further is another matter.
It's not like we pay so much attention to it.
But the person in front of me is the academy's receptionist.
Being able to become the academy's envoy has an extraordinary status in the academy. If you are willing to be an official, you must be of the seventh rank.
What's more, with the academy as its back, the connections are intricate and intricate, and the energy it contains is far beyond what most people imagine.
It was normal for Liu Chaosheng to want to build a relationship through this, but the guide looked down on him.
The young man in white clothes was a little bored, "The poetry meeting will take a while, Cuiyue, let's go see the oiran."
After saying that, he closed the paper fan, bowed his hands to the county magistrate, and left the pavilion.
The maid also quickly followed.
…
Li Changan led Liu Zhiyin up the stairs.
"Erlang, you... have written poetry, right?" The further up the stairs, the more nervous Liu Zhiyin became, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Li Changan chuckled softly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, let alone coming out on top, there is still hope for being among the top."
Liu Zhiyin lightly patted Li Changan and said, "You, please be more humble. There are so many scholars here, so don't get a reputation of being arrogant. It will have a bad influence on you."
Li Changan smiled and said, "Isn't that what I told my sister-in-law... Let's go up and have a look quickly."
"The moonlight is clear tonight, maybe you can see the Goddess Mountain outside the city."
Liu Zhiyin smiled like a flower and nodded vigorously.
Goddess Mountain is a famous wonder in Linxian County, and is well-known in Dongyue County.
Looking at certain places, you can see the mountains outside the city connected together, like a goddess lying on her side, with peaks like shoulders and valleys like waist, which is so beautiful.
Wangxing Tower is the best place for viewing.
Li Changan climbed to the sixth floor. Through the window, the moonlight was shining, and the shadow of Goddess Mountain not far outside the city could be vaguely seen.
"Sister-in-law, look quickly, you can really see it."
Liu Zhiyin also looked out through the window, her eyes as gentle as water, and she was actually a little crazy.
"Erlang, I'm so happy..." Liu Zhiyin's voice trembled, and there seemed to be mist in his eyes, "This is my first time on the Wangxing Tower!"
He turned to look at Li Changan with a smile, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
Not sad, but moved to tears.
Li Changan's heart trembled violently.
In the memory of her predecessor, Liu Zhiyin was only seventeen years old when she married into the Li family. She had been running around for the family for the entire five years. In addition, her predecessor was seriously ill and had never participated in poetry gatherings.
Have you ever been able to climb the Wangxing Tower like today?
"I will take you wherever you want to go from now on." Li Changan's voice was gentle, but it contained firm power. "We can see more clearly when we go higher."
As he spoke, Li Changan grabbed Liu Zhiyin's wrist and quickened his pace.
Liu Zhiyin's heart seemed to be flying in the air, her entire body was in a daze, her eyes were tightly wrapped around Li Changan, and she just followed him through the crowd...
Climbing to the top floor, your eyes suddenly open up.
The elegant and clean moonlight is like gurgling water, reflecting the whiteness between heaven and earth.
The goddess mountain in the distance is shadowy, as if wrapped with ribbons, floating like a fairy.
Li Changan's mind was agitated, and there was a vague force surging in his heart. The mutton-fat jade book in his mind suddenly flipped, and a poem quietly emerged,
"The sun sets over the mountains and the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to the next level."
An unprecedented trembling feeling rose in Li Changan's heart, and he could no longer restrain it.
There seemed to be a landslide and tsunami in his mind. Li Changan's pupils shook, as if he saw a pitch black, but in that darkness, there was a faint white mist.
Deep in the white mist, a ray of light wanted to break out, but was blocked by darkness.
Nervous, anxious, and angry, Li Changxin was on fire. He was about to break through the shackles, but was trapped at the last moment.
There is a kind of depression in my heart, which makes me feel unhappy.
