Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1458, Contempt chain
Li Nanshan, Wang Qi, Tian Feng, Li Min, Yun Tiantian and other candidates on the east list also received invitations from the Ting Yuxuan Poetry Club this time, and came to Ting Yuxuan together.

It's just that I didn't expect to encounter such an unpleasant thing when I just came in. Someone actually despises the students of Dongbang, and Wang Qi immediately stood up and said extremely upset.

"Brothers~"

"I'm Xu Wenyuan from Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. This is Zhang Fu from Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang Province~"

Hearing Wang Qi's words, the other party smiled slightly, and then introduced himself very politely.

"Wang Qi in the river~"

"Nayun Li Nanshan~"

"Nanyang Tianfeng~"

"Cochin Ruan Wenjie~"

Li Nanshan, Wang Qi and the others introduced themselves politely when they saw each other, and several of them also introduced their names one after another. After the introduction, everyone looked at Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao in unison.

"Uh, I'm Jingji Zhushou~"

"Liu Chao, Changli County, North Zhili~"

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were taken aback for a moment, then after thinking about it, they casually said a fake name.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhu and Brother Liu from Beizhili~"

After everyone introduced each other, they bowed their hands and saluted each other. Although Xu Wenyuan and Zhang Fu seemed to look down on Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin from Beizhili, and even more down on Li Nanshan, Wang Qi, Tian Feng and others from Dongbang, but After all, you are a scholar, and you are a scholar. Poems, books, etiquette and music cannot be discarded.

"Brother Xu and Brother Zhang seem to have a good thing to say about our Dongbang scholars just now?"

After the courtesy, Wang Qi also looked at Xu Wenyuan and Zhang Fu and said.

"Yes, do you look down on our Dongbang scholars?"

Tian Feng also followed up and said that he himself is not tall, and he is long and dark, and his stork bones protrude, which does not conform to the aesthetics of Ming people.

"It's not that we look down on the scholars of Dongbang~"

"We are just talking about a fact. If we want to talk about talented scholars and beautiful ladies, it is natural that we have the most places in the south of the Yangtze River, followed by the north. As for the places outside the two capitals and thirteen provinces, the level is worrying."

Xu Wenyuan said lightly, although the tone is very euphemistic, but we are all scholars, how can we not hear the contempt in his words.

This is also a tradition of the Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, candidates from the north of the Ming Dynasty could not pass the exams from the south. The first imperial examination after the founding of the Ming Dynasty made the scholars in the south dominate the rankings, so it became the "North and South List Case". The imperial examination is divided into the southern list and the northern list.

Southern scholars despise northern scholars, which happens almost every time in the imperial examinations.

Almost every poetry meeting and the like, the candidates in the North and South rankings will inevitably have to compete with each other. The talents in the south are full of talents, and the talents in the north are often overlooked.

Now, since the establishment of the Dongbang in the last imperial examination, the students of this Dongbang are naturally the bottom ones, so they have always been despised by southern and northern scholars.

"Master leads the door to practice in the individual~"

"How can you look down on us because of the region!"

Hearing Xu Wenyuan's words, Li Nanyun immediately said angrily.

He is a genius with a strong learning ability. Although he is not a Han Chinese, his knowledge is quite good, otherwise he would not be able to become Jie Yuan of Nanyun Province.

"That's right, that's right~"

"Although we are in the Dongbang exam, but we study hard, so we may not be much worse than you. Brother Li, you are Jieyuan from Nanyun Province. You beat many students from Nanyun Province to win the top prize. You are five cars richer in learning. Could it be that you are better than you?" worse?"

Tian Feng and others also followed suit.

"Cough cough~"

"It's just talking without practicing fake moves, who can brag about it."

"In my opinion, everyone should compare with each other, which one is higher and which one is lower, and it's natural to judge the difference."

At the side, Zhu Hou looked at these people in front of him, and suddenly became energetic, and suggested that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

"Yes, yes~"

"Compare, compare, who is afraid of whom~"

"That's right, we should compare each other, so that we can know who is superior and who is inferior. Although there are many talented people in Jiangnan since ancient times, not everyone is great."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's proposal, Li Nanshan, Wang Qi, Tian Feng and other scholars on the East List immediately nodded their heads.

As for Xu Wenyuan and Zhang Fu, they smiled confidently and said: "Brother Zhu is right, we need to compare."

After finishing speaking, the two stood at the door. Whenever someone came in, they immediately went up to inquire, and then spoke out the proposal of the competition between them just now.

So soon, there were three groups of people at the gate, the scholars from the South Bang, the scholars who backed the ban, and the scholars from the Dong Bang, gathered together one by one, and they were full of gunpowder when they looked at each other.

The competition between literati is naturally much more elegant.

Although the scholars in the south despise the scholars in the north, the scholars in the north despise the scholars in the Dongbang, and the scholars in the Dongbang look down on the scholars in the south, but they are still brothers Li, Wang and Zhang. The name comes and the name goes.

"Brothers~"

"Today, it just so happens that we are also meeting friends through literature, and this listening to Yuxuan is also carefully planned~"

"There are nine kiosks around the small lake in front of you. Each kiosk has a corresponding test. As long as you pass the test, you can go to the next kiosk."

"After passing through all the nine small pavilions, you can go to the attic of the small island in the center of the lake to listen to the piano music of Yuxuan's head oiran."

Xu Wenyuan looked at the many scholars of the same period in front of him, and suggested with a smile.

"Ok~Ok~"

"Compare, compare, who is afraid of whom~"

"That's it~"

When the other people heard this, they immediately shouted out in disbelief.

Those who are the first in literature and the second in martial arts are all scholars, and naturally they will not be convinced by anyone, and it is naturally difficult to be convinced if they do not compete with each other.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Jin immediately smiled happily.

All of a sudden, I remembered the scene of participating in the poetry meeting when I took the imperial examination. It was so similar, but at that time, the scholars from the North and South Lists were competing with each other, but now there are more scholars from the East List.

Many scholars quickly walked towards the first pavilion.

The test here for the first gazebo is not difficult, it is the right pair.

I saw that the first couplet reads, "The sun and the moon will never fall together, and the territory of thousands of miles will be galloping!" ', a very simple pair, but if you think about it carefully, it is not simple.

Because the sun and the moon represent the Ming Dynasty, which will never set, plus the territory of thousands of miles, this is to say that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, and at the same time, on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the sun and the moon will never set, it is an empire where the sun never sets!

This is very suitable for the current situation of Daming, and it is not so easy to make a second line.

"Lao Liu is looking at you~"

"I'm not sorry."

Zhu Houzhao touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. If he couldn't match the first one, he would be ashamed. He had no choice but to quietly ask Liu Jin for help.

"The Lord of Heaven and Earth will endure for thousands of years, and hundreds of millions of people will praise the grace of heaven!"

Liu Jin thought for a while, then quietly said to Zhu Houzhao.

"Haha, not bad, not bad~"

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, he immediately laughed happily, and soon passed the first level with the second couplet that Liu Jin came up with.

As for Liu Jin himself, he came up with a second couplet after thinking about it casually, and he passed the first level very quickly. Looking at the first gazebo, most of the talents can easily pass, but there are still some Dongbang. Where is the scholar thinking hard.

Obviously, there is indeed a big gap between the level of the scholars in the east and the north and south.

Especially those scholars from the minority tribes, because they have only studied Han culture for a short time and their level is limited, they are stumped by simple pairs.

However, there are also some people who make Liu Jin look at him with admiration. Although Li Nanyun from Nanyun Province is not Han, his level is quite high. After passing four or five levels in a row, there is a tendency to rush to the attic of the island in the middle of the lake in one breath.

This kind of speed is so powerful that many talents from the south couldn't help but admire him.

You must know that the questions on this side of the pavilion are getting more and more difficult. Many talented scholars from the south are stumped and unable to pass for a long time.

Li Nanyun, a tall-nosed, deep-eyed, blond and blue-eyed scholar from Nanyun Province, was able to come up with an answer so quickly, and he was about to approach the attic of Huxin Island in a blink of an eye. How could it not be impressive.

"Interesting~"

Seeing Li Nanyun passing through the difficulties so quickly, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing, showing great interest, so he also took Zhu Houzhao to quickly pass through the obstacles, and headed towards the attic of Huxin Island.

Get ready to meet the top scholars from all corners of the Ming Dynasty in the attic of Huxin Island for a while, to see the level of these scholars, and of course, to see if there are any talents worth cultivating.

Although these traditional talents are very good at writing, they are all standard products made by large Confucian factories. It is difficult to make a breakthrough. In terms of governing the country, more practical talents are needed, rather than talented people who chant slogans.
