Chapter 43: His Holiness Comments

"It's finally getting started!" In a small courtyard in the backyard, Peng Lin, who received the news, looked impatient, stood up, rubbed his slightly numb legs that were kneeling, and said to a few people around him, "I'm going to have a good look at your skills tonight."

In addition to Peng Lin and others, there are several other young people on the side, and there are more than ten people in total, all of whom are outstanding figures of the younger generations of the Pengcheng County clan, among which the Peng and Liu families are the most.

Just now, everyone gathered, did not chant poems against each other, but discussed a hundred schools of learning, faintly involving the general trend of the world, after the discussion, they were all very happy, at this time someone came to let them prepare for the feast, and they stopped, brewing emotions, ready to have a good performance in front of the elders.

However, the people of the other families also knew very well that they were just accompanied, and the protagonists of this banquet were the brothers of the Peng family and the Liu family after all.

Sure enough, when everyone arrived at the place, they each sat down, the dinner began, and several elders drank for three rounds, and began to ask some Confucianism, Legalism, Huang Laoxue, Peng Lin and others, who had already prepared, answered like a stream, one more exquisite than the other.

Later, Peng Lin and others talked with Zuo Yuan about the past and the present, competing to show their knowledge.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Therefore, the sage governs the people, the first to rule is strong, and the first to fight wins. After Liu Gang answered a few questions, all the elders nodded and smiled, very satisfied.

After some questions and answers, there was a distinction between the high and the low in their hearts.

At this time, the elders, without the irritability when they begged for Mobao, calmed down one by one and sat upright on all sides, giving people a sense of majesty and making many juniors feel awe.

After answering the elder's question, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to take it lightly, because there was still business next, that is, to listen to the elder's judgment on them.

In this era, the judgment of the superior, the elder, and the famous person has a huge impact on a person, and this custom can even be traced back to the former Han Dynasty, the most famous, but also the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the princes were divided, many of the princes were once evaluated.

is like Cao Cao, a "capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor in troubled times", I don't know how much fame he has improved.

Up to now, even the imperial court has standardized this system in the system, and determined the local product by referring to judgment and other factors, which directly affects a person's career, future, social status and privileges.

These juniors have just embarked on the journey of life, full of ambition for the future, and will not let go of any major party, looking forward to getting a good evaluation.

Even if these elders are not central officials, they are highly respected, even if the visiting officials come, they have to respect their opinions, and the old people also have the right to speak on the issue of the re-election of some magistrates, not to mention the evaluation of the children of the scholar clan.

In the expectation of everyone, many elders are not verbose, knowing the expectations of everyone, they have entered the topic.

"Among all the lives, Peng Qi answered the most decently," Liu Taigong sighed, "The momentum of the Ming Legalist family, and the realm of Lao Zhuang, the deepest understanding of Lao Zhuang and the Legalist family, must be the key point, and should be the first in the knowledge of the younger generation in this county." ā€

Peng Qi is not very old, but his temperament is very stable, and he is usually moody, but after listening to Liu Taigong's evaluation, he still can't help but show joy, and the people around him can't help but cast envious glances at him.

"Where is it," Peng Taigong hurriedly shook his head, pointed at Liu Gang and said, "This son has lofty ambitions, broad vision, and can talk about frontier matters when expounding the truth, supplemented by the Legalist system and the military family rules, which are corroborated by each other, it can be seen that if you are well versed in this way, you will have to do something in the future, which is what a Pengcheng County can trap." ā€

Liu Gang sat in the banquet, his fists clenched, his expression did not change much, but his body trembled slightly, and his brother Liu Yi next to him turned his head and smiled at him, obviously happy for his younger brother.

On the side, Peng Lin looked nervous, didn't care about anything else, stared at a few elders, waiting for his evaluation, he was arrogant when he talked to his peers in the backyard before, he was very proud, but he also had the ability to be proud, and he thought that in addition to Peng Qi and Liu Gang, the two natural geniuses in the entire Pengcheng, he should count him Peng Lin.

"You two don't have to praise each other," Zhang Taigong pointed at Peng and Liu, laughed, and said, "You have such a good grandson, you are really envious of others, not only Peng Qi and Liu Gang, Peng Lin and Liu Yi are also handsome for a while, Peng Lin's thoughts are indulgent, unconstrained, and he said the changes in the strength and weakness of the offense and defense, which can also be used as a reference, and Liu Yi's mind is delicate, and in what he has seen and heard around him, he has extended the theory of the Legalists, and talked about the changes of the two dynasties, which is a rare insight. ā€

Later, there was a hint of bitterness hidden in his words, which was difficult for others to detect.

But it was this Zhang Taigong who said that there were successors, but he thought that he only had two sons under his knees, and his grandson was the only one, and the clan was not strong, so it was difficult to become powerful, and he couldn't help but envy the momentum of the Peng family and the Liu family, but he was also open-minded, and this little thought quickly dissipated.

At the same time, his evaluation fell, Liu Yi and Peng Lin glanced at each other, and they also smiled heartily, and Peng Lin turned his head to look at the Wang family girl who was dressed as a man, and raised his eyebrows.

At this point, the four of them have made comments, all of them are not bad, and the people of the two uncles and uncles during the banquet are also happy, talking with their peers on the side, including Chen Bian, who are all complimented by others.

In previous years, Chen Bian was inevitably unwilling to see the scenery of other children, but before this dinner, he was also in the limelight, and he was praised by several elders, and he was already satisfied.

Suddenly, the guests and hosts were happy.

After a while, the younger generation of each family was also commented on by the elders one by one, not by Zhang, Liu, and Peng, but by Xu Zhi, who commented on their words, and the evaluations were all "excellent", "acceptable", and "worthy of creation", which was not as good as the people of the Liu family and the Peng family, but it was also the level of a county's junjie.

At this point, the task of these old men is completed, according to the rules of poetry meetings, drinking parties, and banquets in the past, the following is the link where the juniors chant poems against each other, which belongs to real entertainment, after all, it is a banquet, and what you want is cheerful.

However, this time, before letting go of the juniors, Zhang Taigong and the others exchanged glances, and saw Zhang Taigong smile slightly, took a letter from his side, and was about to speak.

Peng Lin had sharp eyes, and he also knew the origin of the letter, he was already unconvinced, and looked down on the Chen family, so he first said to Chen Bian: "Second Master Chen, why are you the only one here today, didn't the Junjie of the Chen Mansion accompany you?" He asked knowingly, and he had clearly seen Chen Yun outside the mansion, but he still said so, because he wanted to make the Chen family ugly.

As soon as he said this, the hall that was still lively and noisy just now suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Bian, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Chen Bian's face was embarrassed, and he was about to speak, but he heard Mrs. Peng slap the table and say: "Nonsense, what are you talking nonsense here, you junior, don't be too troublesome!" ā€

Peng Lin is often pampered in the house on weekdays, and Mrs. Peng also likes his good calligraphy and often accommodating, so although he was reprimanded, he was not afraid, but said with a smile: "Grandfather is not strange, it is really the grandson who is curious, it is said that the Chen family is also a Pengcheng family, but in recent years, the evaluation of the hometown products of the younger generation, his Chen family children are not high, but these days are terrible, first that Chen Yun's reputation is gradually rising, and Chen Zhi is said to have written a good hand, the grandson came over today, I still want to meet this Chen family Shuangjie, why didn't any of them come." ā€

"Hugh is messing around! Sit down! Peng Taigong's face was unhappy, and he still reprimanded, but also revealed a trace of dissatisfaction, although he admired Chen Zhi's words very much, but he sent the Fa family book over, but the junior did not say anything at all, now his age, up and down Peng Cheng, there are a few people who do not sell face, of course, there are emotions.

After all, he is a respected elder, and he is usually respected, no matter how open-minded he is, when he encounters today's events, he will inevitably feel guilty, and when Peng Lin said this, he suddenly provoked unhappiness in his heart.

Chen Bian saw that the secret way was not good, and he was about to remedy it, so he heard Peng Lin continue: "Speaking of which, Chen Zhi doesn't have any hometown products, right?" I haven't heard of any Venerable Lady commenting on him, and he missed the rare opportunity today, it's a pity, I just don't know, how good his words are, how far his knowledge has become, and today's elders are not thin on him, don't you have a little expression. ā€

Listening to it, the expressions of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu also changed slightly, and they seemed to be dissatisfied.

Chen Bian got up sweating profusely, arched his hand, and was about to defend himself, when he was suddenly interrupted by the report from the porter-

"Master Qiyu, two people came to the Chen Mansion, saying that they came to thank them on the order of Chen Zhigongzi, and they also brought a scroll over."
