Chapter 231 I'm here to help my sister-in-law pass on something

What is this person talking about? What does he mean by the poems are not worse than those produced by the adults in the upper seats?

Didn’t you see the expressions on the faces of those adults just now?

Those people are all literary giants, especially Dajiu Mu. Although he looks disrespectful and sloppy in his daily life, he dares to say that he is a literary master. No one dares to oppose him. After all, someone called him that a few years ago. As a result, Dajiu Mu himself denied that he was just an old man who read books.

Even he was stunned when he saw the poem written by the Queen, which shows how exquisite the poem was.

But you said it here.

Aren't the poems you are going to write worse than those written by the Queen?

But some of them looked at Xia Yaomo with some impatience, thinking that this guy might not be the kind of person who wanted to do something to attract attention.

After all, from the beginning, what this brother Xia Yaomo Xia said was just sensational words, like he dedicated poems to the girl, and that he must dedicate poems, otherwise he would let down his sister-in-law and elder sister, and the most ridiculous thing was that his poems should not be worse than those of the queen.

Although they had to admit that this man's funny appearance did attract their attention, but.

I am ashamed to be associated with you!!

He tries to gain the attention of the dignitaries by showing off his talents, which is no different from a clown actor. He even boasts that his poems can be compared with those of the Empress!

ridiculous!

then

Several people at the table looked at Xia Yaomo with contempt in their eyes, and a few people were looking at Xia Yaomo, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

These few people especially felt that they were now high-ranking Jinshi scholars and were no longer ordinary people. Moreover, there were so many vacancies this year and many alternate Jinshi scholars had already been filled. It was only a matter of time for them.

Therefore, he already regarded himself as an official in his heart.

But Xia Yaomo, who was in the same class as me and passed the imperial examination, is still thinking about some woman!

Of course, it can be understood that what you and I want are different.

but.

You are already a Jinshi, and you are still thinking about women?

Especially the woman in this room, she is also a Jinshi like you, what is your status? What do you think you are!

So many people at the table looked at Xia Yaomo and shook their heads.

Among them, Wu Fan was one of them. From the beginning, he thought that Xia Yaomo should be an honest and honest person, but now that things have come to this point, he really looks down on Xia Yaomo.

He even felt a little unfair for his brother Guo Kaizhong, thinking that such a flamboyant person could pass the exam, but his brother Guo, who was so talented in writing, failed!

Where is justice?

So, just when Zhang Yiran wanted to persuade Xia Yaomo again, Wu Fan stopped him.

Xia Yaomo looked at the expressions of the crowd. Although he was a little timid, he was not a fool. He could naturally see the expressions of these people, but he did not say much.

Anyway, he didn't lie about what he should have said, and he really couldn't say what he shouldn't have said.

Zhu Zhuo felt helpless when looking at Xia Yaomo, but he thought that he should give him some final advice. After all, he was a colleague. If he still acted like this, then it was up to him. He had already done his best.

So Zhu Zhuo looked at Xia Yaomo and said, "I didn't expect Brother Xia to be so confident in his poems. If so, then..."

But when Zhu Zhuo said this.

The restaurant's kitchen had already prepared the dishes and started serving them.

A pretty woman came respectfully to each table with a tray in her hand and placed the dishes carefully on the table.

The exquisite carp with honey-marinated starch, the exquisite and plump lamb legs, and other miscellaneous hot and cold dishes and desserts, etc., including the fermented glutinous rice soup that Su Changan had made before and Su Zifeng asked for. In short,

Just looking at the dishes, this banquet is of extremely high quality and the ingredients are exquisite.

Looking at so many delicious dishes, all the students were drooling.

Except for the children of big families like Su Linhan, Cui Yuer, etc., all the students present gasped when they looked at the dishes on the table.

At this time, on one side, the music of drums, harps and flutes, which were already available in the restaurant, sounded long and continuous like the calls of deer.

No one cared about my hard study for ten years, but I became famous overnight and known all over the world.

The students were already full of ambition and excitement, and now they were treated so warmly that they were all very satisfied. They looked at the officials sitting in the seats with gratitude.

At Xia Yaomo's table, Zhu Zhuo, who was about to speak, couldn't help but pursed his lips.

On the contrary, Xia Yaomo was the Crown Prince after all, and was used to this kind of banquet, so he didn't care.

Just looking at those talented women.

but.

Let's talk

I don’t like any of them.

It’s not that these talented high school girls are not good-looking or have bad temperament, it’s just that Xia Yaomo has been paying attention to them from the beginning, but after looking at them, he hasn’t found any girl he likes.

Just feel.

These girls are good, but after looking at them, I feel that they are not the heroic girls I imagined.

But he thought of what his mother and father said to him on the way to the capital: "If you don't find a wife this time, you better be careful."

Thinking of the ways his father and mother had dealt with him, Xia Yaomo felt helpless, so he continued to go see those girls.

but.

Xia Yaomo looked around and found that the girl was not what he had imagined.

But as he kept looking at it, Xia Yaomo couldn't help but think of Yan Ruyu whom he saw today.

Thinking of the sister whom I haven't seen for more than ten years, she has become so heroic and beautiful now.

Xia Yaomo couldn't help but pause, thinking that Yan Ruyu should still be single.

But this thought came up.

Childhood memories suddenly flooded back to his mind, especially the scene where the Yan commander pulled down his pants in front of his father and slapped him on the buttocks again and again.

And my sister chased me around the palace with a stick, and finally cornered me and said, "Can you try to hit on Ruyu again?"

From then on, he no longer dared to follow Yan Ruyu, let alone think about marrying Yan Ruyu.

Because I was afraid of being beaten.

Also afraid of being killed.

but

Xia Yaomo looked at the girls, but the person sitting at the same table with him looked at Brother Xia, and then looked where his eyes passed, and happened to see Miss Su Linhan standing up and bowing to greet people at the table where the top ten students on the first list were sitting.

Look back again.

Then I saw Xia Yaomo watching this scene.

Some people frowned slightly. With such delicious food in front of them, they didn't even look at it and only looked at the women around them. It was really disgraceful and a sex-hungry ghost!

Some people couldn't bear to watch and said, "Brother Xia, don't look at it. That girl is the second daughter of Old Master Su's mansion and the younger sister of the current queen. She ranked fifth on the list of the imperial examination. I heard that Duke Dingyuan's husband personally proposed marriage, but was rejected by Miss Linhan. So Brother Xia, don't think too much about it."

This is actually a very polite way of saying it. To put it bluntly, it means "Don't be a toad wanting to eat swan meat. You can't afford it."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people at the table started laughing.

Xia Yaomo was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Who is Miss Su Linhan?"

Everyone nodded: "Of course it's Miss Linhan."

After someone was puzzled for a moment, he smiled awkwardly: "Why, Brother Xia, you are not really interested in Miss Linhan, are you? Then how about giving your masterpiece to Miss Linhan?"

"What are you talking about? Brother Xia is a man of great talent, so he certainly has his own strengths. But Brother Xia, if I were you, I would wait until the senior officials pass down the poem, and then use your writing skills to revise it. Who knows, after this revision, the girls will fall in love with you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table except Zhu Zhuo and Zhang Yiran immediately started to sneer.

Xia Yaomo looked at these people with a smile, then smiled helplessly and looked at Su Linhan carefully. Although she was not as beautiful as his sister-in-law, she was also very elegant and refined.

But mention the revision.

Xia Yaomo looked at the adults who were gathered at the table discussing something.

Today Su Changan gave him three pieces of paper, two of which contained poems.

One is about how the psalms are being revised today.

It was impossible for Xia Yaomo to stand up and tell everyone that he could change.

After all, he knew how much writing he had.

And the reason why Su Changan gave him so much.

One of them is naturally a poem he uses to pursue girls.

The other one was entrusted by Xia Yaomo and was handed over to Su Linhan today. It was Su Changan's way of congratulating her younger sister on passing the imperial examination.

The next thing was how to modify Quiet Night Thoughts. The reason why Su Changan asked Xia Yaomo to deliver it was because he thought that since his grandfather hadn't thought of it, it would be better to help, so as to prevent the old man from worrying about it all the time, which would be bad for his health.

As for how to deliver it, Su Changan didn't say much.

Anyway, just deliver it to your hands.

At this time.

Right above the upper seat.

Su Wenqing listened to Cui Yu, Su Zimu and others discussing how to revise this Quiet Night Thoughts.

I'm starting to have a headache.

Looking at Yang Guofu's side, it was discovered that Yang Guofu, Yan Jingqing and several other members of the Yang Party were also discussing quietly.

After shaking his head helplessly, Su Wenqing glanced at Yang Shanchang who was chewing the food slowly, and asked with a smile: "Grandmaster, how about you speak on behalf of Mu Xu and let the students read this poem? This old man can't take care of these things now."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shanchang looked at Mu Xu, who was holding the poem and thinking hard with a frown on his face. He swallowed the food in his mouth and laughed. Then he looked at Su Wenqing: "You should come, Grand Master. I am not qualified."

As he spoke, he took another bite of food, obviously not intending to continue talking.

Su Wenqing smiled and said nothing more. What else could he do if he didn't get fooled? So he patted Mu Xu and said, "Let the children see too. Look at them all, they are looking at us eagerly."

Mu Xu was about to tell Su Wenqing to stop making noises when he heard this, but after realizing it for a moment, he looked at the students below and said with a smile, "Distribute the poems. After you have read them on your desks, start thinking about how to revise the poem written by the Empress. Of course, if you have any poems tonight, you can recite them. On this day of celebration, don't belittle yourselves."

After Mu Xu finished speaking, the students below bowed one after another, and then looked eagerly at the person who was distributing the poems.

The people at Xia Yaomo's table were naturally excited and expectant, and some even ran up to take them.

However, Yiren, who was sitting at the same table with Xia Yaomo, thought for a moment and then looked at Xia Yaomo and said, "Brother Xia, it's time for you to show off. And the Lord of the Imperial Court has said that you can submit your poems if you have any. Do you want to revise the poems first, or submit the poems first?"

I only heard another person say: "Brother Xia's ambition is that of a woman, so there is no need to be a sequence, they should come together naturally, otherwise how can so many talented women like him today."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people at the same table burst into laughter.

Zhu Zhuo shook his head helplessly, looked at Xia Yaomo and said, "Brother Xia, don't be angry."

When Xia Yaomo heard this, he smiled helplessly and didn't say much. He just silently took out three pieces of paper from his arms.

Then, looking at the three stacked papers, Xia Yaomo murmured, "This one is for revising the poem, this one is for Miss Linhan, and this one is mine."

When Xia Yaomo took out the three stacked papers, the other people at the table saw it. After a moment of confusion, they heard Xia Yaomo's voice.

They were all stunned again.

But I haven't said anything yet.

Xia Yaomo put his poems in his arms. If he didn't like them, what could he offer?

At first he just wanted to know the market situation, so he asked.

but.

Now that I have looked around for a long time and haven't found any girl I like, it's better to keep the poems and give them to the one I like.

After all, his sister-in-law also said, 'If you really feel the relationship, don't just do it casually to complete the task, just like me and your sister, we are so sweet to each other and don't feel anything. If you meet someone you don't like, you will be so sweet to each other that the other person despises you, and then break up, then it's a waste of effort.'

Xia Yaomo felt that what the Empress Dowager said was right, so after delivering the poems and revisions to Grand Tutor Su, he decided to go back if he could. Sitting here, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist beating up these scholars who sat at the same table with him.

Although I am not as talented as you in writing, I am definitely more powerful than you in terms of fists.

so.

After Xia Yaomo stood up, he just looked at Zhu Zhuo and Zhang Yiran, clasped his fists and smiled, then turned around and walked towards the seat of honor.

And seeing Xia Yaomo's actions.

The people at the same table were all stunned.

"He wouldn't really intend to change the Queen's poems and offer his own poems, would he?"

"No matter what he does, it's none of our business if he makes a fool of himself. And don't you see that he has already prepared it?"

"It's ridiculous to just try to attract attention. We'll just wait for him to make his move."

"I always feel that this person is of extraordinary status. He might be the son of a high-ranking official."

"What kind of noble son would really come to our table like that? Impossible."

…

Several people at the table were talking to each other.

Zhu Zhuo and Zhang Yiran were a little worried about Xia Yaomo and wanted to stop him, but they saw that Xia Yaomo had already walked past.

At this time.

The poems were also distributed to their table.

When everyone saw the poem, they immediately stopped paying attention to Xia Yaomo, who looked like a clown in their eyes, and looked at the poem.

"Looking at the moonlight in front of my bed, I thought it was frost on the ground. Looking up at the mountain moon, I thought of my hometown."

See this poem.

The scholars at this table were all stunned, just like the students at the previous tables, with a look of surprise.

The short four lines of poetry are written in a fresh and simple style, as clear as words. The conception is meticulous and profound, and it is recited without any trace.

Zhu Zhuo looked at the poem and savored it carefully before he could not help but say: "It is a natural and casual word, and it is a good poem that is refined. Your Majesty has written another excellent work about homesickness."

but

Just as Zhu Zhuo finished speaking, he suddenly froze, looked at the poem carefully, and was puzzled: "But... how can this be changed? Is there any need to change it?"

Naturally, everyone present could clearly feel the brilliance of these four short lines of poetry, and they immediately began to think about what could be changed in this poem, or whether it was necessary to change it?

After all, it is so simple and clear at the moment. If it is changed casually

"Change the first sentence? Change 'looking at the moonlight in front of the bed' to 'the moonlight is as clear as water and covers the ground like frost?'" someone asked.

But before anyone else could say anything, this person immediately shook his head: "No, no, there is no artistic conception, and it's a bit flowery."

The others nodded when they heard it.

This poem is very simple, extremely simple.

But it is so simple, yet so lyrical in artistic conception, which is its most valuable feature, especially the line "I look up at the mountain moon, and I look down and think of my hometown", which can be said to have fully described the hesitation and wandering of missing home but being unable to return.

So change it.

Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

"No wonder even Old Master Su couldn't do anything about it." Wu Fan sighed.

But just as he finished speaking, Wu Fan looked up at Xia Yaomo, who was already near the seat of honor, and said, "Brother Xia, you are about to make a fool of yourself."

Hearing this, everyone immediately remembered that there was Xia Yaomo who was trying to attract attention, and they all raised their eyes to look over there.

And at this moment.

There were many people looking at Xia Yaomo. After all, if he was just walking back and forth between the tables, no one would care.

However, Xia Yaomo walked directly to the seats where the adults were sitting, which made many people curious.

They all asked their companions to go and see Xia Yaomo, wondering what this man was going to do.

Among the people sitting in the upper seats, there were naturally people looking at Xia Yaomo.

An examiner looked at Xia Yaomo and asked, "Does the student have any questions?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the seats looked up at Xia Yaomo.

The originally noisy people in the restaurant gradually quieted down and looked at Xia Yaomo curiously.

Xia Yaomo pursed his lips and said honestly, "Sir, I am not a student. I am here to help my sister-in-law pass on something."

Hearing this

Everyone was stunned.

What the hell?

Helping your sister-in-law pass on something? And you're not even a student?

What does it mean?

…
