Chapter 62: The Shout at the Poetry Meeting
Xia Hongsheng rubbed his head and was groggy and just woke up, he suddenly felt a colic pain in his brain, which made him involuntarily take a long breath. Raised his hand and rubbed his head, opened his eyes and looked around, and found that he was in an unknown place, his coat was taken off, Xia Hongsheng looked around, and he didn't see where his coat was. Just as he was, he heard the door squeak open, and then a maid ran in from outside, and then looked at it, and the maid was holding in her arms, but it was not her own coat. Seeing that Xia Hongsheng had already sat up, the maid hurriedly saluted Xia Hongsheng and said, "Childe has woken up?" Yesterday, the son was drunk, and his clothes were stained with filth, and the official ordered the slave and maid to wash the child's clothes, and the slave and maid waited for the son to dress. ”
Drunk? That's right! Yesterday, I was overturned by Wang Zike and the old general Qu Tutong, and just thinking about it, there was another pain in my brain, damn Sanle pulp! The taste of being drunk is even more unpleasant than the liquor in the later life! But the degree is obviously not that high. Seeing that the maid had already come, Xia Hongsheng hurriedly waved his hand, which was served by a woman to get dressed, whether it was in the later life or after crossing over to the Tang Dynasty, Xia Hongsheng had never enjoyed this treatment, and he was not used to letting others help him get dressed, a little embarrassed, and a little blushing. He hurriedly stopped the maid and picked up his coat and put it on. On the other hand, the maid pursed her lips and looked like she wanted to snicker but held back, so she said: "If you want to laugh, laugh, I am a poor scholar, and I am not a son, I didn't let others help me get dressed, I am not used to it." ”
The maid burst out laughing, and quickly covered her mouth, looking at Xia Hongsheng with some trepidation.
Xia Hongsheng also grinned and asked, "Is this still in the General's Mansion?" ”
The maid hurriedly nodded, and said, "Yesterday, the son was already drunk and unconscious, so he could only stay here......"
"Wha...... Jingshi, I'll come too! A voice came from outside, interrupting the maid's words, and the maid hurriedly stepped back and lowered her head, and when she saw that the prince could come in from outside, she saluted, and then took her leave.
Wang Zike stood in the room, watching Xia Hongsheng staring at the two huge black circles under his eyes, with a gloating expression, and said with a smile: "Haha, it turns out that Jingshi's alcohol consumption is really not good, yesterday Jingshi didn't even drink a jar of wine, but he got drunk, and in his drunken dream, he threatened to use vodka to drink me and Uncle Qutu, but I don't know, what is that vodka, and what is that alcohol?" ”
Xia Hongsheng looked at Wang Zike's bright bulb-like eyes, and his heart was suddenly stunned, but he was shocked, when he was drunk, he actually said vodka and alcohol, and Xia Hongsheng was a little worried when he thought about it, he didn't know that he was confused after drinking, and he spit out words that shouldn't appear now.
"Huh? The little brother is talking nonsense after he speaks, what else do you say? didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, offend General Qu Tu! Xia Hongsheng pretended to be panicked and asked the prince.
Wang Zike waved his hand: "No, Jingshi, you only threatened to use Naraush vodka to drink me and Uncle Qutu, and said that there is a kind of letting us pour alcohol directly." By the way, Jingshi also wrote a poem "Chivalrous Journey", saying that he also wants to ride the world, be happy and revenge, and be a hero, haha, I don't know that Jingshi is still so interested in that ranger. The others didn't say anything, you had already gone over and hugged the pillar and vomited, and after you finished spitting, you fell to the ground drunk, and Uncle Qu Tu laughed and ordered the official family to place you to rest. Speaking of which, Uncle Qu Tu was really happy yesterday, since the last time Sun Shenxian saw him, I haven't seen him drink for many years. ”
"Sun Shenxian?" Xia Hongsheng scratched his head, and suddenly remembered a person's name: "Sun Simiao?!" ”
"Hey, how can Jingshi call Sun Immortal's name! At the very least, it is polite to call Sun Daochang! The prince can look at Xia Hongsheng: "The last time my father invited Sun Daochang to see Uncle Qu Tu, after that, Sun Daochang forbade Uncle Qu Tu to drink again...... Don't talk about this, Jingshi, today is the day when the poetry will come out, and the remaining students from the academy are competing for the first place, I want to see a lot in the future, if you have a good rest, let's go over and see how about it? ”
Xia Hongsheng naturally readily agreed, and the two of them wanted to go to Qu Tutong to announce their words first, but they heard from the official family that Qu Tutong had not woken up yet, and he was resting, so it was inconvenient to disturb, and the two of them left the general's mansion together, and the housekeeper arranged a carriage and sent it to the school. As everyone knows, after the two of them left, a man and a horse suddenly came out of the general's mansion, the horse's hooves rattled, and galloped west with a piece of paper.
said that Xia Hongsheng and Wang Zike, after they arrived at the school, they saw that there were more people gathered in front of the school, but this time there were no restrictions, but the door was open, and the two of them also poured into the school. It's still next to the pond, but the case has been withdrawn a lot, and then the advantage of the small body is squeezed to the front, and through the cracks, there are not many people left. On the side of Luanzhou Academy, there are still Xu Qixian, Bai Jianzhi and Senior Brother Wan, and next to them is the academy student who was drinking in Yixiangju, and there is another one surnamed Zhou. The other academies also left a few people here, but Xia Hongsheng didn't know him. However, at this time, the remaining number of people is not even one-third of what they were at the beginning.
"Fangcai, Master Xuezheng took the water in the middle as the title and ordered all the students to compose a poem, and now that the time limit has arrived, please stop writing." A man stood in front and said loudly, and then a maid came and took the paper from the hands of the students in front of each case, and put it in front of the extremely scholarly in front of him.
Several scholars looked at the papers together, and the students below waited nervously for the results, and the onlookers around did not dare to disturb several old men judging the poems at this time, and they were infected by this tense atmosphere, so they were silent, and for a while the whole courtyard could be heard falling pins. Among the students, there are those who are staring at the judges with their eyes, and there are those who sit indifferently, and so on.
After a long time, an old man suddenly held a piece of paper and said with a smile: "The old man looks at this poem is not bad, please judge: the water and the sky sweep away the dust, and the lights fade in late spring." The rain is difficult to find, and the incense is more than old in each ink. This is an endless future, and who has an unreal future. This should know that it is still thousands of miles, once the wind and rain and the people. How is it? ”
After the scholar finished reading, he saw that the face of the student below suddenly showed a happy face, which must have been his poem.
"Not bad. The old man also found a poem, everyone listen: a volume of Qing poems and a cup of tea, listening to the wind and rain through the world. The night is cold and fragrant, and the paulownia should fall all over the ground. At this time, I was writing about rain, and I didn't go off topic when I thought about it. ”
"Yes, it's still on top of the previous one." The old man at the top nodded and said.
Several people selected a few songs one after another, read them out, and judged them one by one. Immediately, a few more students looked dead, and none of the poems they wanted to read out were gone. As a result, they were eliminated in this round.
But seeing that the person who spoke and presided over the meeting came to the old men, whispered a few words, and then stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Students, there is a pond here, and there is water in the pond. However, the poetry will be a grand event, there must be a superior, and the rest of the students should not be discouraged, and go back to learn more and practice, so that the poetry will be a blockbuster in the coming year. Life is unsatisfactory, ten of the **, this next theory, will be used as a guide, it is still a stick of incense time, start. ”
As soon as these words came out, both the students below and the surrounding crowd were in an uproar, but when they saw that the faces of those students all showed a look of embarrassment, they raised their pens and stared at the paper, but they couldn't put down the pen for a long time. Even Xia Hongsheng felt that this topic was a little too difficult. Ten of the unsatisfactory things in life**, use this as a topic, what do you want to write? Xia Hongsheng understood that this was to ask the students to write about what kind of attitude, what kind of state of mind, and what feelings they had in the face of these setbacks and difficulties. But those students may not all understand.
"You have studied hard, and you have all had a time when you were lost, not to mention, that is, since yesterday to now, eighty percent of the students have been eliminated. Which of them is not a hard reader of poetry and books, or a leader in a academy? But here it has failed. This failure does not count, there will be more failures waiting for you in the future, and when that time comes, what will you do? Do you drink all day long and wander around, or do you grit your teeth and start all over again? Hehe, you don't have to worry about this topic, this question is for you to write, you have encountered setbacks and difficulties, what thoughts are in your hearts, and how to deal with them, then it is a good topic. Those students were worried, but they saw that the students in front of them were stroking their beards and said aloud with a smile.
The students began to take a deep breath, thought for a while, and then slowly put down their pens.
"Jingshi, this title is so difficult to write, if it were you, how would you write it?" The prince lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned his head and asked Xia Hongsheng.
"I won't write either." Xia Hongsheng shook his head.
The prince smiled and said: "Jingshi, don't lie to me, whether it is the poem "Man Jianghong" or the poem "Chivalrous Journey" yesterday, they are all the best poems I have ever seen, all of them are from your mouth, how can you not write them." It's just me, how about you let me hear about it? ”
"No!" Xia Hongsheng's attitude is very resolute.
"Jingshi, you just recite a few sentences casually, let me listen to it, isn't it done!" The prince was quite persistent and kept asking questions, which made Xia Hongsheng very annoying.
Xia Hongsheng couldn't be entangled by him, so he rolled his eyes at him angrily: "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea!" That's it! ”
But seeing that the prince's eyes lit up suddenly, he slapped his hands hard with excitement: "Okay! There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea! Atmosphere! …… Woohoo......"
Xia Hongsheng hurriedly went to cover his mouth, and the thing was so excited that he shouted loudly.
This voice roared out, Xia Hongsheng hurriedly went to cover his mouth, but in the end it was still a beat slower, so Xia Hongsheng immediately made a decision, immediately gave up this pit teammate, turned around and ran!
