Yang Qingyuan was caught off guard by the ghostwriting proposal proposed by the master of Qingwu Academy.
"Ah!"
The master of Qingwu Academy pursed his crimson lips slightly and smiled sweetly.
"Could it be that Mr. Yang is a member of our Qingwu Courtyard and wants to fight for my Qingwu Courtyard?! Of course, if Mr. Yang is willing to show his face to me?! I will definitely be waiting on my bed?!"
"..." Yang Qingyuan couldn't accept this. Was he being teased?!
Is your couch sweeper serious?
Yang Qingyuan was defeated after all. Master Qingwu was so charming! Although he did not use the charm technique, his own charm almost made Yang Qingyuan shaken.
Especially the plain dress of Master Qingwu, there is a brocade on the chest, which is faintly visible and seems to be visible, but in fact nothing is visible. This is outrageous!!
How can ordinary officials withstand such a test?!
But this is also the reason why Master Qingwu and Yang Qingyuan have a close relationship, and Yang Qingyuan can joke.
If it were another court official, Qingwu Academy Master and a businessman would have already turned against him if they dared to tease her like this.
"Is your bet tonight?!"
Yang Qingyuan quickly changed the topic and continued the conversation. Minors were prohibited from watching.
Master Qingwu covered his face with the sleeves of his skirt and smiled, then nodded, "It's tonight!"
"Then please, Master, please go to Dali Temple on my behalf and deliver a message!"
"Hmm?! Let the people on duty today come to Qingwu Courtyard for dinner after they are off duty."
"..." Master Qingwu was speechless.
"Isn't there someone paying the bill tonight?! Then this should be a benefit to the brothers at Dali Temple headquarters! By the way, madam, how many people can sit in Qingwu Courtyard?! There are estimated to be nearly two hundred people in Dali Temple today! Excluding the wife at home.
The management is strict, and if there is something unexpected, there will be almost a hundred people!"
The master of Qingwu Courtyard rolled his eyes angrily, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, the Yingke Building on the east side of Qinghui Courtyard is also my property. When the time comes, let all your family members go to the Yingke Building!"
Qingwuyuan has always focused on a high-end style route, which is a bit like a high-end club in later generations. However, this route also has limitations - the scale cannot be expanded, and its original grade and style will be lost once it is expanded.
Therefore, the owner of Qingwu Hospital bought several other restaurants in the capital and took the mid-range route.
If Qingwuyuan is a high-end club, then the other restaurants are star hotels.
With a two-pronged approach, Qingwuyuan has gradually become the leader in the catering industry in Beijing. It is no wonder that some people are interested in Qingwuyuan.
Yang Qingyuan raised the fruit drink in the cup and sipped it carefully, "Madam, let's serve another Qiankun roast chicken! Anyway, someone paid for it tonight! I won't be polite!"
"..."
---------------
Night has fallen, but the lights in Qingwu Courtyard are brightly lit.
"Master Chu is here!"
"Hello, Mr. Chu!"
A young gentleman entered the door swinging a folding fan.
Chu Gong is a direct descendant of the Chu family in Yuezhou. It is said that he has the talent of number one scholar. In this year's provincial examination, he ranked first in Yuezhou and won the title of Jieyuan.
After that, he entered the capital to prepare for the spring of the coming year. He was preparing for the warm-up examination and promoting his literary reputation.
The imperial examination in this era has never been a fair examination. For the seeded contestants who have the opportunity to reach the top ten of the first or second class, all forces in the capital will value them. If they are valued by the examiner, there will even be agreed disciples.
Qian Muqian, the Minister of Rites, as a literary master, naturally has no interest in doing this, but that does not mean that other examiners are not interested.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the friendship between teachers and students was second only to parents, monarchs and ministers.
The official network of the Zhou Dynasty mainly consisted of four types of relationships: classmates (same year), teachers and students (disciples), blood relations (in-laws), and the last one is geographical (fellow townsmen).
For example, Wang Hua, Yang Qingyuan, and Li Xunhuan, the top three outstanding students in the 13th year of Yong'an, were all admitted by Qian Muqian, the examiner at the time.
When distinguishing between political stances, they will naturally be labeled as being of the same age, and they will also bear traces of their master Qian Muqian. All three of them are Qian Muqian's disciples.
Therefore, some examiners will paradoxically reveal the thoughts of some examination questions by making appointments with students.
The advantage of going to Beijing in advance to promote your literary reputation is that only if your literary reputation is sufficient, you may become an agreed disciple.
This is regarded as the unspoken rule for the recognition of the imperial examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because the questions are not really revealed, it cannot be regarded as fraud. It is also necessary to accumulate connections in the officialdom.
And Chu Gong is one of the seed contestants for the next competition.
Since ancient times, there have been many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. The previous Yangzhou Jieyuan and Yuezhou Jieyuan are strong contenders for the top ten and even Huiyuan in the examination.
Chu Gong was the leader of Yuezhou, so there were many people who fawned over him.
After entering the door, Chu Gong shouted loudly, "Madam, is Chu's pairing neat?!"
From the third floor, a soft voice came.
"I asked the person who wrote the title. Although the second couplet written by Chu Gong Jieyuan is similar in shape, it still has flaws."
Although Master Qingwu did not show up, his soft voice could reach everyone's ears. Yang Qingyuan's evaluation of Master Qingwu's martial arts went up a notch.
"The first couplet expresses the loneliness of the Hakka people who are widowed in the cold window. Its flat sound is 廄廄廄平, 廻仄平平廄廄."
"Chu Jieyuan was right about Lost Way Away and Returning to Lotus and Returning to Xiaoyao. Although the glyphs and semantics match up, the sound and artistic conception are a bit different."
Chu Gong Yizhou Jieyuan was arrogant and arrogant, but was exposed by the master of Qingwu Academy in person. Naturally, he was unhappy.
"Since the person who asked the question feels that Chu's second line is not neat enough, then I dare to ask why the neat second line is?!"
The master of the Qingwu Academy chuckled and then said, "Walking on the seaside, clear and light wine is flowing. The sound of Ping and Chou is Ping Ping Ping Ping, Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping, which is exactly opposite to the first couplet."
After listening to the second couplet given by the master of Qingwu Academy, Chu Gong was silent for a moment. The second couplet of the person who proposed the topic was better than his own in terms of artistic conception and simplicity.
This made Chu Gong a little unwilling, and he became angry and said loudly.
"Could it be that Madam wants to break the contract?!"
"What did Chu Jieyuan say? Although the confrontation is not neat enough, it is indeed a rare good couplet in the world. Naturally, I dare not go against my conscience and say that you did not confront me!"
Yang Qingyuan glanced at the master of Qingwu who was talking. With his figure, he was definitely unscrupulous!
"Does the bet Madam made with me still count?"
Chu Gong's face looked a little better, and then he asked.
"Although I am a prostitute, I will not break my promise! Today's literary competition will be witnessed by all the guests present."
Chu Gong's ugly face returned to normal, and a smile even appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Then, as a witness to all of you present, today I will fight with my wife on this article. If I am lucky enough to win, my wife will accompany me to dinner!"
The owner of Qingwu Courtyard did not show weakness, "If Chu Jieyuan loses, Chu Jieyuan will pay for the remaining guests in Qingwu Courtyard today, and he will lose the qualification to enter Qingwu Courtyard again!!"
