Chapter 382: The Man Is Here, Dim in the Light.

"Lang Jun, you are so talented, if you don't get it, you will be jealous and hated......" After looking at this Qingyu case, as well as the stopper song next to it, Gongsun Su sighed lightly, raised his eyes and looked at Duan Shaojun's eyes, full of admiration.

Xu Xiangjun looked sorry and said in a loud voice. "It's a pity that Xiao Langjun's words still have to be practiced, otherwise, it is none other than our Langjun who is the leader of the Spring and Autumn Society Poetry Association who is uneasy this year."

"Am I trying to practice calligraphy?" Duan Shaojun glared at this girl angrily, is it fun to hit herself?

Xu Xiangjun smiled and smashed over a large bundle of autumn spinach, Duan Shaojun could only be speechless, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth in Xu Xiangjun's ear. "You wait obediently, and the husband will punish you well when the time comes."

"Lang Jun said that the slave family is afraid, hey, you are not allowed to move your hands and feet, my sister is here."

Flirting and scolding, this kind of boudoir pleasure is really Duan Shaojun's favorite, but unfortunately, Xu Xiangjun only dares to tease Xiao Langjun, but he doesn't dare to really provoke him, if she really wants to fail the imperial examination, her sin will be great, at least Xu Xiangjun thinks so, and Duan Shaojun can only roll his eyes and accept such a result.

A few days later, Cao Zhongde walked into the house where the Spring and Autumn Society was located, and the courtyard of the Spring and Autumn Society was an industry purchased by the president of the Spring and Autumn Society in Beijing with a huge amount of money more than 60 years ago, and then as the social property of the Spring and Autumn Society, it has already become a place that countless scholars in the world yearn for and admire.

As the saying goes, there is a great deal of Confucianism, and there is no white ding, which is the location of the Spring and Autumn Society. The Spring and Autumn Society will absorb a group of new members at the end of autumn of each year, that is, after the imperial examination, but these new members, the first thing is that your poetry must be the same, and you can enter the top five at the Spring and Autumn Society Poetry Meeting held by the Spring and Autumn Society.

In other words, even if you win the champion, you may not have the opportunity to become a member of this Spring and Autumn Club. This is a purely literary organization, and for decades, countless scholars and officials have been able to join this Spring and Autumn Society.

Unfortunately, although the Spring and Autumn Society has a huge influence, it is more in the academic aspect, and most of the people who can join the society are intoxicated with literature and art, and are very accomplished in art and culture. And it is precisely because the rules for joining the Spring and Autumn Society are extremely strict, and the successive generations of emperors, although they have paid great attention to the Spring and Autumn Society, have facilitated it in all aspects, both openly and secretly, that they have been able to maintain the ** nature and seriousness of the Spring and Autumn Society.

"Ouch, my brother Zhongde, you can be regarded as here, I'm afraid it was another night of romance last night, looking at your vain pace, it's really enviable, I don't know which Oiran was lucky enough to climb on our Cao Qianjin's bed." One of the people who was checking the manuscript of the poem saw Cao Zhongde coming in and couldn't help but shout.

There was a burst of good-natured laughter. Cao Zhongde laughed dryly a few times and arched his voice. "You are not messing around, you just drank too much yesterday." There was really an Oiran who went to bed, but he was quietly happy about such a thing. Cao Zhongde deeply knows that you have to be low-key in order to eat well and be full.

After some cold and frolic, Cao Zhongde said goodbye to everyone and walked inside, where he saw a dozen or so literati, the youngest and in their early forties, appreciating the masterpieces they had picked out.

"Brother Zhongdexian, you're here, come and take a look, I've found a few masterpieces today, you can comment on one or two." The eldest of them was in his early sixties, with silver hair and white eyebrows, and a long beard, and beckoned to Cao Zhongde.

"Brother Daolin is also here......" After Cao Zhongde greeted them one by one, he picked up a manuscript from the desk and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but praise. Not bad, yes, I am late to describe the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty, extravagant but not flattering, it is indeed a masterpiece, this is ...... It turned out to be a masterpiece of Sun Qi in Dengzhou. ”

Cao Zhongde reviewed and commented on several other songs in a row, and his eyes were precise and his comments were pertinent, which made these judges present deeply convinced.

"Now, we have picked out fifteen excellent works, but unfortunately this year, why don't we see any Jiangnan masterpieces coming out?" After a sip of fragrant tea was taken by a person next to him, he sorted out the manuscripts, seemingly casually.

"Don't worry, there are still five or six days before the deadline, and I think in a few days, there should be more talented people submitting papers one after another." Cao Zhongde glanced at this person, it was the famous senior talent in the north, the Yanbei madman Deng Huang who was as famous as himself.

In the past, a Luoyang Fu won countless praises, but after only five years in the office, he resigned due to the tension between his boss and subordinates. Linger in the land of fireworks, looking for flowers and willows. and herself, Cao Qianjin, can be described as one south and one north, and they are called two heroes.

As the saying goes, there is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts, but in fact, the two of them are very disdainful of each other, and they both feel that the other party is not worthy of being compared with themselves, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and what makes the Yanbei madman resentful the most is that he was forced to resign.

But Cao Zhongde obviously even made a mistake in the imperial examination back then, but the name of this guy alarmed the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven issued an edict to conquer it, and it was actually based on it, which made his reputation soar and overshadow his limelight far away, which has become a stinger in the hearts of proud Yanbei madmen.

And this time the review, Deng Huang was pleasantly surprised to find that the vast majority of those who could enter the eyes of the second review committee were northern scholars, which made him very happy, although he had no achievements at all and did not care about the slightest, but the feeling of Rong Youyan was still very cool, and the most important thing was that among the manuscripts that entered the second review this time, there were very few from Jiangnan, which made Deng Huang feel that he was on the winning side at a certain level.

"In this way, then Deng is here looking forward to Jiangnan Shizi's masterpiece. Hahaha......" Deng Huang laughed loudly and turned around and left the room, but the arrogant smile made a dark cloud float on Cao Zhongde's face.

After the eldest man gave a sigh of persuasion, he tapped his fingers lightly. "Brother Zhongde Xian pays attention to him, he is such a person, but then again, there are really few manuscripts submitted by scholars in Jiangnan this year who can be called the best."

"Don't worry, this time it's just because of the war from the year before last year to last year, which has spread widely, and many states and counties have also been implicated, so there are many fewer Jiangnan scholars who have come to Beijing for the imperial examination. However, I believe that there will definitely be talented people in it who are not making a splash and are making a splash. Cao Zhongde is very confident.

"Oh, listening to your side, it seems to be very sure, presumably Brother Zhong Dexian should know who this talented man is, right?" Next to him, Zhu You, who is also known as the four great talents of Jiangnan with Cao Zhongde, couldn't help but light up his eyes, pulled Cao Zhong aside, and asked in a low voice.

Cao Zhongde bowed slightly. "That person is the Lanting Duan Shaojun I told Brother Zhu about."

Zhu You I groaned slightly and nodded. "Well, if my brother has read the poems he has written, they can all be called excellent works, if he joins, he can indeed occupy a place among the masterpieces, but if you want to win, I'm afraid it's ......."

#####

Cao Zhongde couldn't help but be a little worried about Zhongzhong, and his eyebrows were tight. "Now it's useless for us to worry about this, unless a few of us make a move, but we are judges and can't join this competition."

"Yes, people who are not from the imperial examination this year are not allowed to participate, this is a model that has been established since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Society Poetry Society." Zhu You stroked my long beard, which was extremely delicate and beautiful, and sighed leisurely.

"However, I'm really looking forward to that guy, I'll be excited another day......" Before Cao Zhongde finished speaking, he saw someone rushing into the second-instance review room excitedly. Ladies and gentlemen, come and read this poem...... This Qingyu case is the best I have thought in the past few years. ”

Cao Zhongde and Zhu You looked at each other, and followed the crowd around. And at this moment, the chief judge with white hair picked up this Qingyu case, and after slowly reciting the first few sentences, he felt that the words were indeed excellent, but they were not very surprising.

However, when his eyes fell on the last paragraph, he was shaken and began to chant softly. "Looking for him from the inside, I suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim......"

Everyone present can be called a critic of poetry, and over the years, he has served as countless judges, and his appreciation of poetry has naturally reached a very high level.
