Chapter 125: Pretending to be crazy and stupid
At this moment, in the fifth floor of the Fujiwang Pavilion, the main forces of the two prefectures participating in Wenbi were divided into two formations, east and west, and the judging seats were sitting on the north side and south, but there was only one person sitting on the judging bench at the moment, which was Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, who had shot the big river before.
This guy is grabbing the wine jug and pouring it into his mouth as if no one is around, drunk, hazy, unkempt, and sloppy, which is really annoying.
The senior brother who was already fond of cleanliness couldn't help frowning, Fei Maoxian shook his head and sighed: "Tang Ziwei is full of talent to learn, but it's a pity that the times are not good, and now it's even more normal when he is crazy, which is really regrettable." β
Jiang Yun said contemptuously: "This person is wandering, wandering around the fence all day long, sleeping with prostitutes, even if he is full of talent, what if he learns, it is useless for the country and his family." β
Jiang Yun is not wrong, Tang Yin's personality is uninhibited, flamboyant and wild, Hongzhi participated in the hospital examination (scientific examination) during the ten years, and even drank with his friends and prostitutes, the then great master Fang Zhi was extremely disgusted with his behavior, and his test papers were deposed, and later the prefect of Suzhou interceded for him, and the great master of the school was exempted from forcibly agreeing to Tang Yin to participate in the township examination next year in the way of "recording the legacy".
After that, although Tang Bohu was also very competitive, he won the first place in the township examination in the second year, but this guy began to get carried away again, continued to wander the wreckage, and lingered in the Qinglou Hook Column all day long, as a result, he went to Beijing to participate in the examination the following year, and was implicated in the fraud case of his friend Xu Jing, and was dismissed from his fame.
Because of this, King Ning invited the down-and-out Tang Bohu to the palace as a staff member, and this guy immediately agreed, only to find out that he was on a thief ship when he came to Nanchang.
Of course, now I am afraid that only Xu Jin, a traverser, knows that Tang Bohu is pretending to be crazy and witnessing this history with his own eyes, which feels strange. Xu Jin even thought a little wickedly, if he exposed Tang Bohu's tricks now, would this guy be cut down by the annoyed and angry King Ning?
"His Royal Highness is here!"
"See His Royal Highness!"
At this time, Brother Zhu, the son of King Ning, walked down from the sixth floor, with a "warm" smile on his face, and Liu Yangzheng followed him.
When the candidates in Nanchang Mansion saw the prince of King Ning, they all stepped forward to greet him. King Ning Shizi responded politely, secretly proud in his heart, Liu Juren really had two brushes, and the plan to win people's hearts has begun to bear fruit.
Ning Wang Shizi greeted all the candidates in Nanchang Mansion, and passed in front of the candidates in Guangxin Mansion, but no one in Guangxin Mansion paid attention to him, oh, except for Jiang Fangjie, the head of Guixi County.
However, Jiang Fangjie learned the lesson of the last private banquet of the prefect, and did not show too much enthusiasm, but just smiled and nodded to salute, so as not to be despised by the same year around him.
The cold talk shown by the candidates here in Guangxin Mansion made Ning Wang Shizi very unhappy, but he kept in mind Liu Yangzheng's advice, and always kept a smile and looked like a corporal of Lixian.
Despite this, when King Ning's gaze swept over Xu Jin, he couldn't help but show a trace of coldness, and said sarcastically: "Xu Jin, as the head of the government examination of Guangxin Mansion, you didn't participate in the first two Wenbi, could it be that you have a false reputation and dare not show your talents in public?" Or are you scared of the talents of our Nanchang Mansion, worried that you will lose face if you lose? β
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the candidates in Nanchang Mansion fell on Xu Jin in unison, and even Tang Bohu, who was pouring himself a drink, looked up and looked at Xu Jin with drunken eyes.
Xu Jin's fame is not limited to Shangrao County, the song "Cai Qiao Tu" has spread all over Jiangxi, and the expulsion of King Ning from Shangrao County by Governor Sun has shaken the entire Jiangxi Province, and this matter is also related to Xu Jin.
Now it is rumored that Fei Hong Fei Ge's niece is beautiful and fragrant, and she is in love with Xu Jin, a protΓ©gΓ© of the old pavilion, and the prince of Ning Wang is also obsessed with this daughter. One day, King Ning and Xu Jin met by chance on the street, so the two sides fought for Fei Ge Lao's niece, and Governor Sun was angry and sent King Ning back to Nanchang.
From ancient times to the present, this kind of lace news has the most market, so the current Xu Jin is a celebrity in the entire Jiangxi, whether it is the literati circle or the mouth of ordinary people.
At this time, Xu Jin was very surprised, because of the simple and rude personality of King Yining, it was a bit rare that he could still stand calmly and sarcastically mock himself at this moment. You must know that on the streets of Shangrao County, this guy is so arrogant that he draws his sword and kills people on the street, but now he has become "reasonable" when he returns to Nanchang, which is really unexpected.
However, since King Ning was no longer simple and rude, Xu Jin calmed down and said with a smile: "Why did His Royal Highness say this? It's just that there is something at home, so I rushed to Nanchang today, but fortunately I didn't miss the last one. Since His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is so fond of him, then Xu Jin will not disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince today. β
Although Xu Jin's words were subtle, he was actually very confident, and the subtext was: Let's see, although I am late, I will take down the people of Nanchang Mansion today.
The candidates on the Guangxin Mansion side all smiled, but the candidates on the Nanchang Mansion side looked disdainful. Li Zhe, the head of Yuzhang Academy, sneered: "It turns out that you are Xu Jin, but your tone is not small, I am Li Zhe of Yuzhang Academy, I will have to learn a good lesson later." β
"Hey, at a young age, even if you have talent, it's limited, Guangxin Mansion actually let a young man who was not even the crown win the first place in the government test, it seems that there is really no one, but he still boasts of someone who is brilliant, but that's it." A candidate in Nanchang Mansion said in a weird manner, and his classmates around him immediately burst into laughter.
All the candidates in Guangxin Mansion showed anger on their faces, and Jiang Yun sneered: "Yuan Cheng, why bother to take advantage of your tongue in vain, but dare to compare with Xu Ziqian?" As the so-called real gold is not afraid of the red furnace, talent can not be hidden, whether it is full of talent to learn, or full of recklessness, everyone knows it by comparison, just ask you if you dare? β
"Yes, just ask if you dare to compare!" The candidates from Guangxin Mansion said in unison.
That Yuan Cheng is a native of Fengcheng County, Nanchang Prefecture, and he is the head of the Nanchang Mansion Examination this time, and he is indeed a person with real talent and learning. In Yuancheng, Xiafengcheng County, he asked Xu for advice. β
Li Zhe hurriedly stopped: "Yuan's case is slow and slow, Wenbi is about to start, why rush at the moment, not to mention that today is comparing poetry and calligraphy, not a couplet, why be provoked by others, it is really unwise to attack other people's strengths with their shortcomings." β
Yuan Cheng nodded and retreated.
Xu Jin couldn't help but glance at Li Zhe more, it seems that this person is a steady guy who is difficult to deal with, if Yuan Cheng continues to insist on competing just now, Xu Jin doesn't mind taking the move, and he should kill the prestige of Nanchang Mansion first. It's not that Xu Jin is big, it's really that there are definitely a lot of eons in his belly, just pick a few out, and he can teach Yuan Cheng to learn to be a man in minutes.
King Ning Shizi was naturally happy to see the battle between the two mansions, the more fierce the better, and continued to add fire: "I forgot to inform everyone that in today's literary competition, Master Xu Kui, the great master of the school, will also be present to serve as a judge." β
As soon as this remark came out, the candidates including the Guangxin Mansion were all happy, and it was the great master Xu Kui who presided over the academy examination this time, if he could perform in front of the students today, the chances of passing the academy exam would be greatly increased.
It is worth mentioning here that candidates like Xu Jin and Fei Maoxian, who have not yet passed the college examination, adopt a vague name system for the examination, while candidates like senior brothers Wei Yang and Fei Maozhong, who have already shown their talents, are not vague in the examination papers, as long as the great master thinks that he can pass, he can participate in the township examination next year.
Therefore, as soon as the candidates from the two provinces heard that the Great Grandmaster of Tixue would serve as a judge today, everyone immediately shook their fists as if they had been beaten with blood.
Ning Wang Shizi was very satisfied with the reactions of all the candidates, and walked towards the judges' seat. Of course, although the prince of Ning Wang has a noble status, he is not qualified to judge this Wenbi, not to mention that he sits crookedly on the side of Nanchang Mansion, so naturally he can't be a judge, so this time he is only a bystander and does not participate in the judgment.
Seeing the arrival of King Ning's son, Tang Bohu still sat and poured himself a drink, not even bothering to raise his head. King Ning's face turned dark, and there was a trace of disgust in his eyes, he really didn't understand why his father invited this waste back to the palace as a staff member, in addition to drinking and playing with women's farts, sometimes he was crazy.
If it weren't for his father saying that he would observe for a while, King Ning's son couldn't help but want to drive Tang Yin out of Nanchang City, and it would be a waste of rice to raise it.
"Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy under peach blossom nunnery. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money...... Hiccup, come on, come on, can the prince be willing to drink with this immortal? Tang Bohu staggered to his feet, poured a glass of wine and handed it to King Ning.
Ning Wang Shizi's face became even darker, just now he saw Tang Bohu sucking wine at the spout, how could he accept it at this time, and said coldly: "Tang Ziwei, it's better to keep it for yourself!" β
Tang Bohu smiled, raised his head and drank it all, and then hiccuped at King Ning's son, which made the latter cover his nose and retreat.
"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through ......" Tang Bohu chanted the poem and sat down staggering and continued to drink.
King Ning Shizi couldn't help but be furious, and was about to order the guards to fork Tang Bohu out, but was stopped by Liu Yangzheng next to him with his eyes. Liu Yangzheng has always suspected that Tang Yin is pretending to be crazy and stupid, so he suggested that King Ning keep him for a period of time to observe, and invite Tang Yin to be a judge today.
Although Tang Yin is unsuccessful in the officialdom, his status in the literary world is undoubted, poetry, calligraphy, and painting are the first of the four talents in Wuzhong, if he can really serve the prince, he can play a good role model.
Ning Wang Shizi glared at Tang Bohu, who was pouring himself a drink, and sat down in the position behind the judges' seat stupidly.
