Chapter 242: Election (1st Update)
In the fifth year of Wanli, the warm breeze of spring was intoxicating. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When the spring flowers are blooming, on the West Lake in the west of the city, the painting boat is swimming.
Every spring, the West Lake is very lively, the scholars in the provincial capital will come here to sing together, the scholars rent a few painting boats, and invite courtesans to enjoy the scenery in the lake.
Looking at it on the shore, but you can hear the singing, the prostitutes on the painting boat are wearing brocade clothes and fans, playing and singing music and dancing, there is a big dance shirt back sleeve is better than the spring breeze, and the song fan is like the autumn moon in the window.
On this day, Lin Yanchao took Weng Zhengchun, Ye Xianggao, Gong Zinan, Huang Biyou, Chen Xinggui and other friends to boat on the lake. The old man who played blind chess back then has been replaced, and the old man who talked about Zen with Lin Yanchao is no longer there, which makes Lin Yanchao feel stunned.
Everyone entered the pavilion to rest, and there were scholars and servants who traveled with them, and they had prepared a small stove and brought fine wine to warm the wine outside the pavilion.
After the wine is hot, the boy brings the wine, vegetables and fruits into the pavilion for the master to drink. All friends have a glance at the lake and mountains in the pavilion, and the willow embankment is ten miles, and it is very pleasant to talk about it.
The spring breeze is blowing, the wine is intoxicating, Chen Yiyu, Weng Zhengchun and others took advantage of the excitement and went to the poetry shrine to ask the predecessors to leave poems and articles to read.
Among the crowd, Chen Yiyu had the best poems, so he took a few of them, read them to everyone on the one hand, and added his own tasting on the other. Everyone drank wine, talked and laughed, and occasionally heard a good sentence that could float a lot, and they also applauded and praised it.
Lin Cai suddenly said: "Instead of evaluating the use of other people's poems, it is better to take advantage of this beautiful day, why don't you make a poem about the lake!" It is also left in the poetry shrine for posterity. ā
Everyone is wonderful!
So everyone borrowed pen and paper and waved ink on the stone table between the pavilions, all of which were improvised.
When it was Lin Yanchao's turn, he thought about it, and it was a matter of traveling. So he wrote with interest: "The green ants are slightly warm and fragrant with wild grass, and the lake is full of shadows and broken sun." Ask if the peach and plum travel together, borrow me to float for half a day. ā
Several people saw Lin Yanchao's poem and nodded.
After the next poem was inscribed, they tasted each other's verses.
Everyone was in good spirits, and suddenly a person walked outside the pavilion: "It's another group of rotten Confucians." I only know how to appreciate poetry and chant, but I don't know the rise and fall of the world, but I know that disaster is coming? ā
Everyone looked at a scholar in his forties, and his face was a little angry.
Chen Yiyu first said unhappily: "Now that the world is peaceful and there is nothing to do in all directions, why do you have to say such ominous words!" ā
Chen Cai said: "That's it, why bother to be angry, this person is either unfounded or shocking." Want to attract people's attention! ā
There is no shirt on the other side, and he is definitely not a person with merit, such as a scholar, everyone is not uncommon, and there are fewer people who love to be alarmist on weekdays?
The scholar shook his head and said, "The world is ignorant, and the country today is weak and has few masters, and the power is quite right. The people are not happy, and they dare to say that the world is peaceful. Nothing to do in all directions. As a husband and wife, I only know the color of wine all day long, reciting poems, studying old papers, and talking about sexuality, I am really ashamed of you! ā
At this time, everyone was angry and said, "The madman is not leaving!" Don't bother me waiting for Yaxing! ā
The host spoke. Several servants and children beside him immediately scolded and pushed at the same time.
The scholar was alone all the time, and after being pushed away by a few people, he snorted, spat heavily on the ground, and said: "A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, Daming will die in your hands." ā
After saying that, he walked away.
I was troubled by this person. Everyone was not in a good mood, and they were in the mood to enjoy the lake and spring, but they were suddenly distracted.
Chen Yiyu said: "Everyone, this person was disappointed in the imperial examination, so he is cynical, we are all meritorious people, how can we have the same knowledge as him, don't be swept away by such people, come on, everyone continue to drink and talk about poetry!" ā
Although Chen Yiyu said this, everyone was in no mood at the moment, but seeing Lin Yanchao standing there with his eyebrows condensed, Chen Yiyu asked, "Zong Hai, what's wrong with you?" ā
It turned out that Lin Yanchao listened to the words of the scholar and suddenly remembered, yes, it is clear that there is still a good life now, but the scene of the collapse of the building after seventy years is not what the scholars present can imagine.
Lin Yanchao suddenly said: "This crazy life, although the words are ugly, but in my opinion, we scholars might as well be prepared for danger in times of peace." ā
Everyone listened to Lin Yanchao's words, and they all showed a look of listening carefully.
Weng Zhengchun said: "Brother Zonghai, you have always been very insightful, I don't know what you think?" ā
Lin Yanchao looked around and said: "Everyone, the country, its kings and its ministers, meat eaters; Those who protect the world, the cheapness and responsibility of the husband, we have a meritorious name, meat in the court, if you talk about the country and the people, how can you not even be as good as this husband. A husband needs to have great ambitions in order to live up to this life, do you share this ambition with me? ā
Everyone nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zonghai, why am I waiting to study, it's not to serve the court." ā
Chen Yiyu said: "Today, we are here to sing poems and swim in the lake, seemingly content with pleasure, but when he achieves his ambition in the future, he will do something for the country and the people." ā
Hearing Chen Yiyu say this, everyone agreed, and Lin Yanchao didn't doubt that the other party was saying beautiful things. When he was a student, many people also scolded Fang Xuan, saying that Lao Tzu would be more awesome than Einstein in his career, but in reality, after a long time, the edges and corners were polished, and the original ideals were left behind.
But it can't be said that the ideal was a lie, at least the moment I said it was sincere, but most people can't stick to it.
And Chen Yiyu and other classmates such as Lin Yanchao, uphold the concept of scholars, and have held the ideal of 'self-cultivation, family cooperation, governing the country, and leveling the world' since childhood.
Lin Yanchao saw that everyone's emotions were already agitated, and nodded.
At this time, Chen Xinggui said: "Some of you and I are classmates, some are the same year, both here are fate, I suggest that you might as well form a literary club, usually enjoy poetry and drink, learn from the current literature, talk about current affairs, and when he is released, how about supporting each other and advancing and retreating together?" ā
Lin Yanchao glanced at Chen Xinggui appreciatively, he thought that among these people, it would be Ye Xianggao who heard his voice first, but he didn't expect it to be Chen Xinggui.
When everyone heard Chen Xinggui say this, they all nodded and said, "What Brother Chen said is true." ā
At this time, Chen Yinglong said: "Since it is a literary society, then it is necessary to elect the head of a society!" ā
After Chen Yinglong finished speaking, everyone was silent, and then looked at Lin Yanchao together.
Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Why do I have such expectations?" ā
The crowd laughed.
Chen Yinglong said: "Isn't that right? Brother Zonghai, you are a lifter, Xie Yuan, and a generous person, we all believe in you. ā
Chen Xinggui said: "Yes, Zong Hai don't say more, it's you." ā
Ye Xianggao, Weng Zhengchun, Chen Yiyu and others also agreed.
Lin Yanchao saw that everyone was in favor, and said now; "If that's the case, then it's up to the next level." (To be continued.) )
ps: ps: The poems selected in this article are written by my friend's house, and I would like to thank you. There is also a more, which must be finished before midnight, and finally ask everyone for a monthly pass.
