All things are inferior to those who study well, which is an irrefutable truth in the Great Kang Dynasty.

The Zhang family is one of the four great masters in Jiangnan. Zhang Jian, the ancestor of the Zhang family, was a hero who fought with Taizu, and was hereditary titles in three generations. He went to Zhang Rong's area and even lost his poems and books.

With the grace of the emperor, Zhang Rong was given the grace of the emperor to be a Jinshi and became an official in the court. However, under Zhang Rong, there were no decent people in the Zhang family, until they fell to this point.

Now when people in Yangzhou mention the Zhang family, others only call it "Imperial Shang". The prosperity of the Zhang family was the same as the past.

By the way, at the beginning of the banquet, Nie Yong and others put away their contempt, and the atmosphere between the guests and the host became more harmonious.

At this banquet, talented people gathered. Where can I lose poetry if I have wine?

Zhang Chengxi suggested: "Mr. Nie, Chief Guishan. Today, many talents gathered in my Zhang family. Inside and outside my Zhang family, the plants and trees shine.

We drink and talk about the wine, but it is not possible to do so without orders. Chengxi begs the Lord and Guishan Chang to take charge of the wine tonight!”

Gui Liang smiled faintly and said, "Brother Nie, I am also half the master here. What do you think of Brother Nie?"

Nie Yong waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Master Gui is going to ruin me! When I only learned about it, how can I get to Master Gui? But today's hydrology meeting has just ended, and everyone is very tired. I don't need to follow the order. It is best for us to just drink and listen to music!"

As soon as Nie Yong said this, Zhang Chengxi was out of his mind, and his mood was also very complicated. He was worried that once the order was implemented, Chen Gui, Qin Yue and many talented men in Zhishui would not give face and abuse the talents of Guanshan Academy to the point of being completely decent, which would be unbeautiful!

But on the other hand, today's banquet is an excellent opportunity to become famous. If Zhang Haoran could experience the baptism of today's banquet, he might be able to be reborn tomorrow and his reputation would be higher!

Simply put, Zhang Chengxi's mentality is to both show off his face and worry about risks, and his mentality can be said to be quite complicated.

Gui Liang snorted softly, swept his eyes to the side of Zhishui Academy, and said:

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Gui Liang is a famous Yangzhou scholar, whose identity and status are not inferior to Zeng Guoning. When he speaks, he has a sense of majesty, and Chen Gui, Qin Yue and others dare not show off.

Qin Yue stood up and said, "Master Gui, we are at the lecture today. We follow your requirements of Master Gui. We have trouble writing poetry everywhere. Everyone feels that their talent and learning are too shallow.

At today's banquet, there are teachers and elders in the hall. If you follow the orders, you may fall into the rut of competitive and competitive struggle. That will go against the original intention of hosting the banquet, which is really not beautiful!”

Qin Yue said these words without being humble or arrogant, and even Gui Liang could not help but nodded secretly when he heard them.

Chen Gui stood up and said, "Master Gui, the students think it's not necessary to do the order. But today, our four courtesans in Yangzhou gathered together, but we cannot neglect the beauty. We can toast improvise and let the beauty make the question. Everyone wants to have fun. I wonder what Master Gui thinks?"

Gui Liang stared at Chen Gui with his eyes narrowed and after a long time, he nodded gently and said:

"Okay! Today's dinner is a joy, and it's a matter of elegance for talented men and beautiful women!"

As soon as Gui Liang said this, the tone of the banquet today was decided, the protagonists were the talented man and the beautiful woman. The beautiful woman was naturally the four major courtesans, and the talented man was all the young talented men on the scene, including Chen Gui and Qin Yue.

When a beautiful woman sets questions, talented men compete to show it. Whoever can match the beauty's heart can respect the beauty's wine.

This kind of thing is the most elegant and intense. If anyone can capture the heart of a beauty in such an occasion, this matter will inevitably be passed down into a good story.

Chen Gui's proposal was of course of ulterior motives. The four courtesans wrote the questions in their own writing and sealed them in the letter paper. The special deacon brought the tray of the letter paper to the main hall.

Nie Yong picked out a letter from the plate and said, "A beautiful lady!"

"ah……"

When Nie Yong read this sentence, it was a question given by a courtesan. There are only four words for this type of question, so that everyone can freely play it. First of all, you must guess who gave the question.

Then, according to the thoughts of the questioner, you should write poems or essays. Whoever can win the heart of the beauty can toast with the beauty.

Such a topic is very subjective because no one can say whether it is in line with the daughter's family's mind. However, as long as it is a real masterpiece, even if the courtesan is unwilling to do so, he has to accept a toast.

Therefore, in such a scene, the only one who takes the exam is to learn and learn first!

"Okay, a good sentence of 'My Fair Lady'! I'll throw away the bricks and bring jade to me and recite a poem." On the side of Zhishui Academy, a young man with a quick mind stood up and immediately recited a poem.

This poem is about telling the identity of the title person. He only heard that he used the word "如" and "如" in the poem, but it implied Ding Zi.

The poem is not very outstanding, but it is better because it comes quickly and is quick to think. Immediately on the veranda, Ding Zi slowly stood up, but guessed it right!

"Coax!" immediately attracted everyone's cheers.

Nie Yong picked up another letter and said, "Damn the country!"

Another group of surprises.

"I'll do it!"

Qin Yue realized the first time. Before everyone could come back to their senses, he recited a poem.

There is the word "charming" in the poem, but it implies Du Yueniang.

Du Yueniang stood up from Tingting on the corridor and saluted Qin Yue, smiling gracefully and charmingly.

Then, there were two more questions, but they were all guessed and asked immediately.

This kind of guessing people is just a little trick, but it is not simple. Only those who often come into contact with the four courtesans and often date can grasp various details.

In this comparison, the on-site judgment was made. Zhishui Academy was obviously much taller than Guanshan Academy. The strongest talents in Guanshan Academy were like Zhang Haoran, Tian Zepeng, Shu Yuan, etc. Where do they have the opportunity to contact the four courtesans? They can't, let alone other people.

Zhishui Academy is different. The lowest talented people in Zhishui Academy also have scholars and fame. It is common to go to a pleasure boat and drink wine. Even if they rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with the four major courtesans, their knowledge and vision are definitely not comparable to those of Guanshan Academy students.

Zhishui talented men were showing off one after another. Zhang Haoran and several others were eager to try, but they didn't even have the chance to emerge. As soon as they started, they were at a disadvantage.

The next toast session is even more exciting. If someone who reads has an opponent, a beauties and a good wine, how can he not perform well?

Du Yueniang and everyone gave the title "Damn the world!". Many people rushed to write poems and lyrics, but they didn't fit Du Yueniang's thoughts. Qin Yue came out to write a lyrics, which contained the witty saying "One look at the city", and Du Yueniang finally stood up.

The atmosphere in the audience started to stir up, and all the talents couldn't help cheering. In everyone's extremely envious eyes, Qin Yue and Du Yueniang raised their glasses in front of them, and after drinking, he stayed by Du Yueniang's side and won the heart of the beauty.

Qin Yue was the first to take the lead, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more lively. The talented men were all young and full of energy. The so-called graceful ladies, gentlemen, and the four courtesans, all of whom were gorgeous and talented. Who wouldn’t want to have such a confidante?

The atmosphere of the banquet almost reached its peak. At this moment, no one was polite and rushed out.

The remaining three girls, Qilan, everyone's title "The River Gos East!", Luo Qiaoqiao's title "Frown Emei", and Ding Zi's title "My Fair Lady", are all talented people take turns to appear on stage.

However, the thoughts of these three women are hard to measure. The talented men took turns to write poems and lyrics, but no one could win the hearts of many women.

First, Zhishui talented man came forward to write poems, but he failed to gain anything. Many talents from Guanshan Academy took the courage to come on stage, but they did not succeed.

Everyone wrote poems and lyrics for more than 100, but they did not get any results. The warm atmosphere at the scene gradually calmed down. Many talents finally realized that it was not so easy to win the hearts of the courtesan.

The reason why Qin Yue was able to hit it with one blow was not because his poems were really good, but because Du Yueniang and he had already had a conspiracy and a lover. Even if he just wrote a limerick poem, Du Yueniang would definitely like it. As for others, who can be as blessed as Qin Yue?

Chen Gui has written three poems for everyone today, and Qilan has not nodded yet! It is rumored outside that Chen Gui and Qilan have an extraordinary relationship. Could it be that Qilan is waiting for Chen Gui's fourth poem?

Everyone thought this way, and Chen Gui's face was extremely awkward when he sat on the seat. He asked the courtesans to write poems today.

His mind was very clear, that was to win Qilan's heart. This time, because of Qilan's absence, he suffered a great loss and was suppressed by Qin Yue.

He regretted that he had made Qilan unhappy before. In fact, he really liked Qilan, but precisely because he liked him, he was too serious and pretentious, and the two sides had many conflicts.

Otherwise, how could Qilan not go to the Zhishuiwen Association, but instead came to the so-called mountain-watching poetry meeting held by the Zhang family?

Today is an opportunity for Chen Gui. He thought of using this as an opportunity to win the blessing of the beauty. If the two of them have another good story, it would be really beautiful.

However, he seemed to underestimate Qilan's determination. He originally wanted to show his face, but Qilan didn't give him any chance. He wrote three poems, which were all excellent works, but Qilan didn't look at him directly. Now he is almost a laughing stock for everyone.

He was very annoyed, but he couldn't show his face in this occasion. His mind was spinning desperately, but it was difficult to write a better poem.

At this time, Zhang Haoran was also as unwilling as him. Zhang Haoran's situation was different from Chen Gui. He wrote two poems, one for Ding Zi and one for Luo Qiaoqiao, but neither touched the beautiful woman's heart.

He was frustrated repeatedly and was in a low mood, but he was still unwilling to give up. He immediately picked up his pen and wrote a poem on paper, but he felt unsatisfied and was very entangled inside...
