So they went to Beijing to take the exam, and they did not live in the Zhejiang Guild Hall, but lived in the house of a big businessman in Yuyao, which was nothing, but a battle during the Shangyuan Festival made them feel the sadness of being isolated and helpless.

But it was said that during the Shangyuan Festival, they met to take a flower boat on the Qinhuai River for the festival, which was a very happy thing, but who knew that Lu Dao booked the boat of Lu, but it was occupied by another group of lifters. Wang Han and others angrily questioned ****, but they were squeezed by the group of lifters.

"Don't go back to sharpen the gun, come here to learn to drink flower wine. When the time comes, the name will fall to Sun Mountain, and there will be time to borrow wine to drown your sorrows! The leader stood on the boat, condescendingly blocking their way, and the rest of the group laughed loudly.

"You're not the same as you guys are going to take the test!" Wang Han and the others said angrily: "It's not necessarily who is named Sun Shan!" ”

"Our name is Sun Mountain?" The laughter of the lifter on the boat became more and more arrogant, and the **** Jiao on the side smiled and reminded "kindly": "These are the old men from Jiangxi......" said so naturally, as if Jiangxi lifters should be a natural.

However, judging from the experience of the past few years, it seems that this is indeed the case, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the most Jinshi in the Jiangxi people, especially the Yongle Dynasty several times, Jiangxi people also reflect the strength of destroying the withering and decaying, not only in the gold list alone, but also almost every branch of the three tripod armor, so that there is a saying that the world is unique in Jiangxi, and there is a rumor of 'champion Duoji water, half of Jiangxi in the court'.

Therefore, Jiangxi's lifters are inevitably domineering and unsightly, even if Zhejiang's lifters, who are the second in the world, do not take it seriously. But Yuyao's lifting is as arrogant, thinking that he is no worse than the Jiangxi people, and he is unwilling to weaken the momentum, and said angrily: "What's wrong with Jiangxi's lifting, isn't it just relying on someone in the court?" If you learn with real talent, it doesn't have to be who is higher and who is lower! ”

These words can step on the sore feet of Jiangxi's lifters, saying that Jiangxi people are too popular on the Jinshi list, and they have almost monopolized the top of the past years. No matter what the reason is, it makes the actions of other provinces very unhappy, so some people often make fun of them in the court, saying that half of the ministers in the court are from Jiangxi, and most of the main exams are from Jiangxi, so they naturally want to favor Jiangxi people.

But Jiangxi people naturally don't think so, they think that this is the result of their own attention to culture and education, passing on the torch, but it is also true that Jiangxi is known as the 'state of article and righteousness', and since the Northern Song Dynasty, it has produced many talents and has become the center of national culture. Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Li Ji, Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi, Huang Tingjian, Lu Jiuyuan, Yang Wanli, Jiang Kui, Wen Tianxiang...... These literary giants run through the two Song Dynasty and dominate the literary world! In this dynasty, Jiangxi's cultural movement is still in full swing, Xie Jin, Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi...... The courtiers of Chinese and the leaders of Hanlin are almost all from Jiangxi, and it is simply unreasonable for Jiangxi not to be a champion! Therefore, Jiangxi people are rightful about the achievements they have made, and they hate others the most.

Now it is impossible for Wang Han and others to leave, and the two sides are convenient to come and go by the Qinhuai River, each holding on to their own words, attracting more and more spectators, and some people proposed, what is the meaning of you fighting around, it is better to compete, whoever loses will apologize to the winning Dao Lu, admit that it is not as good as the other party, and avoid it from now on.

The two sides have been on the top until now, and they must have come out one by one, and under the witness of everyone, they began to compare poetry and ink. There is no shortage of talented people on both sides, and they can't tell the winner from the poem and lyrics, and they have to use a simple method to decide the best - couplet, you come out of the upper link, I am the next link, and after the pair comes up, I will change it to the upper link, and you will judge the lower link, until one side can't come up.

You and I went back and forth on both sides for more than a dozen times, but when it was Zhejiang's turn to raise the son, it was stuck. However, just when Jiangxi Juzi was about to win, the fire in front of the noon gate had to suspend the competition, and the two sides had to agree to compete again in the coming day. Wang Han and others, who were lucky enough to escape defeat, returned to their residence and meditated, but found that this coupling was really difficult, and it was not right until now. Over there, Jiangxi Juzi urged them to hurry up to the appointment, and if they overdue, they would admit defeat.

Wang Han and others, who couldn't help the next link, finally thought of asking for help, and the first thing that came to mind was Wang Xian. Although Wang Xian almost had little intersection with them, his performance at the West Lake Poetry Competition was really impressive. So that as soon as it was proposed, it was unanimously approved by everyone, but when they went to the Zhejiang Hall to ask Wang Xian to come out of the mountain, they learned that he was not there at all.

After all, the transmission of news was slow in this era, and Wang Han and the others did not know that Wang Xian had changed his martial arts, and the insiders were reluctant to tell them, but vaguely said that Wang Xian might not participate in the examination. In desperation, Wang Han and the others had no choice but to go to the meeting, but they never expected that they would meet him halfway, and the joy of these people can be imagined.

Wang Xian couldn't help but be embarrassed, he knew that the result of being strong was to be smiling and generous, so he persuaded: "Seeing that there are still a few days to try, it is better to concentrate on the exam and less to fight for will." ”

"Brother Zhongde taught me a lesson," Wang Han smiled bitterly: "But now we are already riding a tiger, if we lose this time, not only will we lose our face to our grandmother's house, but even the whole Zhejiang will be ridiculed, this sin is too great." ”

"Yes, if we are defeated without a fight, we will not become cowards," others also echoed: "If we enter the field like this, our performance will definitely be a mess." ”

Seeing that they insisted, Wang Xian had no choice but to say helplessly: "But I'm not their opponent, what should I do?" ”

"Then we admit it!" And the people recognized this reason.

"It's not that I don't want to help. It's really a lack of energy......" Wang Xian explained very sincerely, but everyone just didn't believe it, so he had to say helplessly: "Forget it, let's talk about it first, what kind of couplet is it?" ”

"That Shanglian is - Xianglian is blue water, the wind is cool, and the summer is long." Wang Han saw that he finally relented, and explained to him happily: "This couplet seems to be ordinary, but in fact, it is a hidden mystery, it is actually the first palindromic poem. ”

"That's right." The bystander answered: "Read the first seven words, then the last seven words, then turn the ten words upside down, and read the first seven words and the last seven words again, and you can form a poem...... The fragrant lotus is clear and the water is cool, and the water is cool and the summer is long. The long summer breeze moves the water, and the cool breeze moves the water with the fragrance of blue lotus. ”

"It's really ingenious...... Wang Xian couldn't help but praise, and before the words fell, he heard an arrogant laugh: "You fools, you haven't made this simple pair yet, right?" ”

Hearing this voice, the faces of the Yuyao Juzi changed immediately, and Wang Xian followed the prestige, and saw more than a dozen young scholars walking from the opposite side, their eyes full of provocation.

"Who said we didn't come out!" Wang Han hurriedly cheered up.

"Cooked duck - hard mouth!" Obviously, this group of later scholars is the lifter of Jiangxi. Their gaze swept over the crowd of Yuyao Juzi, and finally fell on Wang Xian and said, "This eye is very raw, is it the rescuer you invited?" ”

"Brother Zhongde was just passing by, and asked what we were going to do," Wang Han turned out to be a rare kind person, and he didn't pull Wang Xian into the water, but gave him a step and said: "Brother Zhongde, you go back and work hard first, we say goodbye." ”

Hearing him say this, those Jiangxi people retracted their gaze and said with great momentum: "Do you dare to go upstairs?" If you don't dare, you can go back and work hard. Yan Bi Dalu went upstairs with a smile, and all the Yuyao people looked at Wang Xian, they knew the cause and effect of the road, and naturally understood that Wang Han said that he put the choice in Wang Xian's hands, Wang Xian could choose to leave, but he could also choose to follow. Seeing that Wang Xian did not move for a long time, they were disappointed in their hearts, so they had to follow Jiangxi Juzi upstairs.

Wang Han smiled at Wang Xianqiang and said, "Go back and talk to Brother Zhongde." Then he also stepped into the restaurant.

"My lord, shall we go?" Shuai Hui asked in a low voice.

A faint wry smile appeared on Wang Xian's face......

In addition to the dozen Jiangxi lifters, there are also lifters from Henan, Zhili, Shandong, Huguang and other places, as well as more than a dozen famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River.

Wang Han and the others gasped when they saw this, if they were embarrassed now, they would be able to spread all over the capital in a blink of an eye, and even spread to all regions of the country as the lifters returned to their hometowns. understood Jiangxi's vicious intentions, Wang Han and the others breathed fire in their eyes, but they were helpless......

"Today's session is the one that followed the Shangyuan Festival, which should have been held a long time ago, but because of the cowards from some places, it was delayed until today." The Jiangxi Juzi led by Hu Guang is Hu Guang's son, Hu Chong, and his Laozi is now replacing Xie Jin as the leader of the literary world and the teacher of hundreds of officials, and Hu Gongzi is naturally the leader of this group of Jiangxi Juzi. He leaned on the back of the chair, shook the folding fan in his hand, and stared at Wang Han and the others: "Can you make the next couplet, hurry up and tell the truth, everyone's time is precious, and I don't have time to spend it with you!" ”

"This ......" Yuyao looked at each other, and they all saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes, but they racked their brains these days, and they still couldn't get up, so naturally they wouldn't use their brains anymore, counting on the scene to have an idea. In fact, at this moment, under the gaze of the people around them with disdain or schadenfreude, Wang Han and his brains were blank, not to mention the inspiration, and it was very difficult to even think, so they could only accept the reality and be willing to gamble and lose......

"We ......" Wang Han's throat shook a few times, and it was extremely difficult: "I'm sorry ......"

He said these words very slowly, as if each word weighed a thousand catties, and the faces of the Jiangxi lifters had not yet become fast, and the faces of Hu Chong and others had been full of arrogance and happiness......

"I'm sorry!" However, at this time, a hand pressed on Wang Han's shoulder, and the word 'come out' was forced back into his throat, and he saw the man with a refreshing smile: "I disappointed you, the victory belongs to our Zhejiang Juzi!" ”
