"It turned out to be the Yuancheng Zheng family, and it was really this family, hehe, no wonder it hit it off at first sight." The little fat man said happily.

Zheng Peng chatted with him for a few words, and learned that the family in front of him was called Zheng Yongyang, the word Xusheng, and he was the contemporary grandchild of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

"Brother Peng, there will be a poetry competition, the Caitou Guo family has made a heavy investment, you have to work hard, and fight for our Zheng family." Knowing that he was one year older than Zheng Peng, the little fat man Zheng Yongyang immediately called himself an elder.

"Got a lottery?" Zheng Peng said in surprise.

I've never heard of it.

"Of course there is, or there are not so many people involved" Zheng Yongyang whispered: "This year's color is more abundant, a set of four treasures of the study, a hundred pieces of money, and the most attractive is a regular script written by Ouyang Xinben, a calligrapher, which is a treasure that can not be found." ”

Ouyang letter is Ouyang Xun, the letter is his table, calligraphy is in danger, the descendants are called "European style", his handwritten calligraphy is very popular in the Tang Dynasty, Guo Fu can come up with a copy of his calligraphy, it can be seen that the capital is enough.

Zheng Peng only knew that there was still a colorful head in the Lanting Society, and he was moved when he heard the words, but he quickly calmed down, and said with some pity: "Guo Fu is really wealthy, but it's a pity that a certain talent is shallow, and he also asked Brother Yang to go out and get a book, so that the younger brother can also borrow it to observe." ”

"If I had that talent, I wouldn't be sitting here, alas." Zheng Yongyang said a little depressed.

This Zheng Yongyang is really frank and cute, the young man is so showy and refuses to admit defeat easily, like Cui Xiyi, who knows that he is at a loss, and he also wants face and no money, but he himself says that his talent is average, which is very rare.

Zheng Peng paused for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "So, too." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then smiled heartily, quite a little sympathetic to each other.

Zheng Yongyang is very talkative, has a good appetite, seems to like eating meat very much, and after a while, the plate of braised meat in front of him made him eat cleanly.

When chatting, Zheng Peng kept paying attention to the movement outside, and was surprised in his heart: in addition to Sun Yaozhou and Hong Zhongming who followed behind, there were also Wei Zhou's assassin Shi Fang Kaiwang, Wei Zhou Sima Zhao Zhuo, the former Guozi Priest Jiu Ye Jingneng, etc., the characters who came were bigger than the other.

Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, serving as the position of sacrificial wine, which is equivalent to the Minister of Education in later generations, although it is the predecessor, but Guofu's connections are enough to convince him, that is, Zheng Yongyang was shocked when he heard that Ye Jingneng, the former sacrificial wine of Guozijian, appeared.

Zheng Peng said with some surprise: "It is said that people go to tea and cool, Guo Shangshu has been gone for so long, and the reputation of Guo Mansion has not fallen at all, it is amazing." ”

The rise of Guo Mansion is because of Guo Yuanzhen, Guo Yuanzhen has been dead for so long, and the brand of Guo Mansion is still so easy to use?

"I can't think of it" Zheng Yongyang lowered his voice and said: "When Guo Shangshu was alive, he was righteous and squandered his wealth, nicknamed the Tang Dynasty Xiao Meng, and his status was very high in the hearts of his friends, and his friends couldn't help him when he was in trouble, and now he is gone, it is normal to take care of his descendants, according to legend, Guo Shangshu and Shen Wang Li Chengyi have a very good relationship, Shen Wang once said in public that he would take care of the Guo family in your hometown, who is King Shen, he is the emperor's brother, with him to take care of him, can Guo's face not be big?" ”

Zheng Peng nodded approvingly.

Just when the two were whispering, Guo Hong, the current head of the Guo Mansion, Guo Yuanzhen's son, and the organizer of the Lanting Club, appeared in the Lanting Pavilion, and when he saw the protagonist appear, the audience fell silent.

Guo Hong arched his hand to the four sides, and then said loudly: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, I am fortunate to be with so many seniors and young talents Lan Ting, you can come, it is the honor of the Guo family in your hometown." ”

The audience erupted in applause.

After the applause, Guo Hong began to introduce: "Here, please allow a certain to introduce a few distinguished guests from afar, the first is the former Guozi Jian Ye Sai Wine, Ye Sai Jiu is a famous university scholar, this time to the Lanting Meeting, but a certain old face has been sold out, so he invited him here to guide the backwards, and let him be the judge of this poetry meeting, let us welcome the arrival of Ye Sai Wine with warm applause." ”

Guozi Priest Wine, that is a pivotal position, which Guozi Priest Wine is either a protégé all over the world, or a sue for the old and return to his hometown, or has a huge influence, can invite this kind of character to be present, Guo Mansion has a bright face.

The audience erupted in warm applause, and some people cheered loudly.

The former Guozi priest wine, what an important person, if he gets his guidance or recommendation, he will definitely be flat in his career, and the eyes of many students are hot, and they are thinking about how to find an opportunity to get close for a while.

Ye Jingneng stood up, arched his hands around, and said modestly: "Yuantu (Guo Hong, the word Yuantu) has been raised, and I can get together with so many young talents Lan Ting, thanks to your love, the old man should talk about juvenile madness." ”

The crowd applauded as they said yes.

After introducing Ye Jingneng, Guo Hong began to introduce the second person non-stop: "I believe that most of the people here know, he is our Weizhou parent official, Weizhou Thorn Shi Fang Kaiwang, Fang Thorn Shi came to Lanting in his busy schedule, it is not easy, let us welcome the arrival of Fang Thorn Shi with warm applause." ”

"Polite, polite" Fang Thorn Shi is a middle-aged man with a kind face, and when he heard the words, he stood up and said: "Gather in the Lan Pavilion, meet friends with poems, there is no Fang Thorn History here, only Fang Kaiwang, today a certain person with ears and no mouth, waiting for the masterpieces of all talents, hahaha." ”

Fang Tingshi is also a free and easy person, he has been supported by Guo Shangshu before, and he is half of Guo Shangshu's protégé, and he does not regard himself as an outsider here.

After a burst of applause, Guo Hong continued to introduce the people who sat in Lanting with him, such as Sima Zhao Zhuo of Weizhou, Ling Lubo of Guixiang County and others.

Zheng Peng was eating snacks while looking at the people sitting in the Lan Pavilion, in fact, what Guo Hong introduced were all people sitting in the Lan Pavilion, in other words, those who could sit in the Lan Pavilion were not ordinary people.

When Guo Hong introduced the last person, the pastry in Zheng Peng's hand fell on the table all of a sudden, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of shock.

The person introduced by Guo Hong is a left pick-up in the court, and the main role of the left pick-up is to pick up the things (the emperor) missed (policy decision-making mistakes), which is subordinate to the admonition agency, and the role of the counselor, the supplement, the correct speech, and the secretary is almost the same, saying that it is admonishment, in fact, it is to find fault with the emperor, this is not a good errand, do it well, the emperor is not happy, do not do well, and the officials criticize.

It sounds majestic, but in fact, it is only a seven-grade sesame official.

The position of the gleaning changed quickly, and there were many gleans in history, but the left gleaning that surprised Zheng Peng in front of him was surnamed Zhang and his name was Jiuling.

This is a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect that in the small Guixiang County, I not only saw the controversial Cui Xiyi, but also saw Zhang Jiuling, who had not yet made a career in the officialdom.

It is said that Zhang Jiuling "sealed the seal bluntly, and did not cooperate with the slaughter", which caused the dissatisfaction of Yao Chong, an important official position, so his career was suppressed, but he did not expect him to appear on such an occasion.

This time it's earned.

"Feiteng, what, do you know this person?" Zheng Yongyang observed Zheng Peng's demeanor and couldn't help but ask.

"No, I just think his name is a bit weird, Jiuling, why does it sound like a nine-year-old?" How dare Zheng Peng say that he knows that the petty official in front of him, who is temporarily depressed, will become a hot big man in the DPRK and China in the future?

Zheng Yongyang nodded and said: "It's a little weird, but compared to his name, his temperament is even stranger, a little Zuo Shizhi, he dares to get along with Yao Xiang, isn't this a self-defeating career." ”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Yongyang may feel that his words are a bit worthy, and added: "But this person is talented. ”

Zhang Jiuling's official position is not high, his reputation is not obvious, after Guo Hong's introduction, he only got some polite applause, Zheng Peng looked carefully, whether it was self-humility or sitting down, this Zhang Jiuling, who was temporarily unwilling, did not change his face, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not affected by the outside world at all.

The name of the future, it's really calm, and there is really something different, and this trip is worth it.

After introducing the important guests, Guo Hong politely summarized a few sentences, and then waved his hand: "Serve the food, chat and enjoy the moon while eating and drinking."

An order was given, and soon, one by one, the maids rushed in, and put the wine and food that had been prepared one by one, the dishes were fragrant and mellow, and there was silk and bamboo accompaniment.

After three rounds of wine, five tastes, seeing that the timing was about the same, Guo Hong stood up again: "There is wine and no poetry, there is a difference, it is better to have a certain question, you eat and enjoy at the same time, and the leaf sacrifice wine is rated as the best, and the color head belongs to him, everyone, this color head is not light."

"I've been waiting for a long time."

"Guo Lao, what is the theme of this year?"

"This proposal is good, there is wine but no poetry, I always feel that I owe something, Guo Lao, hurry up and come up with the theme."

As soon as Guo Hong's voice fell, the students who had long been eager echoed loudly, and some people urged Guo Hong to hurry up and solve the question.
