Chapter 400 Accusing Doubts

Chapter 400 Accusing Doubts

It was a gentle breeze, and the iced red bean soup served by the servants brought a refreshing coolness to the heart. The atmosphere of the poetry meeting became more and more enthusiastic. All the literati were present, and they knew the pros and cons of poetry, and each had a good one or two in their hands. The works are ready, and at this time, take them out one by one for evaluation and comparison.Among the previous works, Fang Wenyang had already written a very popular one, but then Yu Shaoyuan came out with a new lyric, "Who is going to pull Miluo Qianzhang Xue", everyone felt that he was a step ahead, and it was enough to become a popular one. Centennial masterpiece.

In Bianliang City, every year, there will be several works like this. Of course, some are because the atmosphere is here and they will be praised, and some are also because the lyrics are really good.Yu Shaoyuan has been in the limelight recently in the capital, but his fame is still inferior to those of Zuo Xiliang and Fang Wenyang, who have been famous for several years. The new words that he got are always full of admiration. Ji Wanqing smiled and sang the poem acapella, but she felt a little annoyed. If you take it out on the spot, if you keep it, maybe you can use it to fight Li Shishi in the ring tomorrow.

Among the most famous people in Bianliang, Zhou Bangyan is really the most powerful, but Zhou Meicheng is now in the official career, and only Li Shishi, who has a deep personal relationship with him, can get it.If he played well, he would have given Li Shishi a masterpiece, and he might be able to withstand this poem by Yu Shaoyuan.

I thought so in my heart, but since it has been taken out, there is no way to do it now.Yu Shaoyuan was also quite proud of his own lyrics, and he showed humility to everyone in high spirits, and occasionally flirted with Ji Wanqing.He was proud here, but Fang Wenyang was a little disappointed there.But the focus of the entire poem will be on these talented people after all.Ning Yi and the others took their seats, and soon found their place in this unnoticed atmosphere, and participated happily.

"Meet Master Lu, my disciple Yu Hezhong. Two years ago, I listened to Master Lu's lecture on "Mencius" at the Caolu in Yueshan.

Passing through the crowd from the side, Yu Hezhong went to the front, but found a teacher who had attended the class.Among the knowledgeable people in front of them, five are the most famous.Today, the "Mogongs" of Junwen Society, Qin Mowen and Xue Gongyuan; Lu Mingfang, who is famous for his annotations on "Mencius"; Pan Hongda, who runs schools all over the world and has disciples all over the world;Yu Hezhong had listened to Lu Mingfang's lectures. Although Lu Mingfang didn't remember him, he naturally smiled and said kindly, and then symbolically asked him about his studies and current achievements, and encouraged him to come to the neighborhood again. sit down.

This is the case with this kind of poetry meeting, chatting and making friends, and expressing freely.There are highs and lows in each other's knowledge, and not many people are really aggressive.Yu Hezhong's knowledge is not as good as those of the people present, but in all fairness, even if it looks like he has been touched by the teacher, in most cases, he still likes to participate in such gatherings, as long as he doesn't show up. There are too many extraneous things, and he has a feeling of being a great literati and talented person, living such a wonderful life with friends all over the world.Even if he can't come up with a few shocking works, he will go back to the party and talk with the knife and brush officials of the same level in the household yamen, which is very face.

Earlier, I was a little wary of whether Ji Wanqing would have a conflict with the teacher, but now it seems that the atmosphere is peaceful, but it doesn't look like it.Turning his head, Chen Sifeng was talking to a few people he knew at the other end. At the end of the corridor, Ning Yi was also chatting with the people beside him. It seemed that he had already blended into the atmosphere and was not watched by many people.The teacher came to the front, and saw Yu Shaoyuan's new words in the chatter of the crowd. After casting a surprised look, he couldn't help but praise the poems of Fang Wenyang and others.Ordinary and joyful poetry scene.

If everything goes on like this, it is certain that this poetry meeting will also be passed down as a legend in the future.At this time, Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng had somewhat relaxed their vigilance. The teacher felt a little strange in his heart, but for a while, he couldn't think of what would happen.Most of the participants of the Poetry Club came here purely for the party, enjoying the cool and rare morning time before the Dragon Boat Festival, looking at the high-spiritedness of Yu Shaoyuan and others, and occasionally adding a few words with a smile, which is quite impressive. happy.As for some wealthy children who came here with the intention of watching the show and watching the lively scene, they were first enjoying the atmosphere of the poetry festival.

Among the crowd, sitting next to Ning Yi was a young man named Zheng Kaiqing. He was famous in his hometown, but he has been in Beijing for two or three years. It is not as famous as Yu Shaoyuan and Fang Wenyang, but if someone asks for poetry, it is status.Originally, it was just because the people around him were friends of Master Li, and they greeted him a few times. After chatting for a few words, he found that the other party's words were decent, generous, and his bearing was quite good, so he started chatting and laughing a few words. Also evaluate each other.

After a while, Zheng Kaiqing left for a while, and when he came back, he was about to sit down and say a few interesting things to the other party when he heard someone in front of him say, "Is this Ning Liheng from Jiangning?"

Zheng Kaiqing saw the man looking over here, and he didn't quite know what was going on. The man added, "Could that friend of the teacher be Ning Liheng from Jiangning's 'One Night Fish and Dragon Dance'?"

Zheng Kaiqing had also heard about the "fish and dragon dance all night" and "when does the moon appear?". At this time, he saw the man beside him stand up, hand over his hands and smiled: "Well, it's just a mere..." For a moment, he felt in his heart. Can't help but have the feeling of crouching tiger, hidden dragon in poetry.

As for Ning Yi's few poems, although they were able to overwhelm the audience when they were taken out, they could not reach the point where everyone would be stunned by the moment of registration without the precipitation and sublimation of time.Even if the brothel sings and is all the rage, it's impossible for it to reach the height of Zhou Bangyan's years of operation.Not long after, everyone took out those few poems, and some people mentioned Ning Yi's status as "the number one talent in Jiangning", giving people the feeling that at most it happened suddenly and there was someone sitting here who might be able to relate to Yu. Shaoyuan and Fang Wenyang are big figures on the same level, but between a few words, Ning Yi's words are modest and his manners are polite, which makes many people like him. , it is impossible to put all your attention here just because of a few good words that have been around for years.

But even so, this "old friend of the teacher" has been watched to some extent.Zheng Kaiqing next to him paid close attention to Ning Yi, looking forward to seeing if there would be any good works here, but then a friend called him over to read a poem. After he passed, in the crowd, he could vaguely hear someone in the crowd. Said: "That guy is just a person who makes a name for himself..." Shi will have a circle, but others are not defensive. He paid a little attention, but only heard that a small number of people were talking, that Ning Liheng's reputation has moisture. The problem.

"I heard rumors that it was made by a monk, and he used it in exchange for his reputation..."

"Isn't it a Taoist..."

"Jiangning's side has long been exposed..."

"Look at him, but he hasn't published any poems this year. Has anyone heard of his new words..."

"The number one talent in Jiangning is Cao Guan... I heard this is just what he claims to promote..."

Bianliang gathers talents from all over the world. Although Jiangning is a big city, when it comes to "the number one talent in Jiangning", it is nothing in the category of "world", and there is no awe in everyone. There are all kinds of sayings.Zheng Kaiqing listened a little, looked back, and was a little puzzled: Could that Ning Liheng really be a liar to make a name for himself?

In such a poetry meeting, there is a person who is a friend of Li Shishi, who has no talent, that's nothing, and everyone will not feel any hostility or hostility.But there is a person who has no talent, but is as powerful as Yu Shaoyuan and Fang Wenyang, and gets famous, it gives people another feeling.At this time, someone was already asking something. Zheng Kaiqing couldn't hear it clearly, and suddenly a voice burst into rage, alarming the audience: "Shuzi! Do you still remember this old man!"

**************

In fact, most of the time, Ning Yi is still full of tolerance and willing to be kind to others.Participating in such social occasions is not a burden for him, and he is willing to see the high-spiritedness and scolding of these literati under such circumstances.In his opinion, those who specialize in surgery and can devote themselves to their fields are worthy of respect.

On such an occasion, it was nothing more than a sedan chair carrying a person, and Ning Yi was so happy to be in a corner.Even if someone tells him his identity, he is more willing to praise him, and even if he is asked for his opinion, he agrees with many poems on the matter.

Under such circumstances, Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng over there actually wrote a piece of work each. Ning Yi's various responses were generous and decent, and his temperament was quite good. it is good.Soon after, someone passed on the draft of Shaoyuan's second poem. Ning Yi looked at it. It was "Nian Nujiao":

"The old customs of Chu and Xiang, remember the bag and millet, and cherish the loyalty festival. Whoever pulls Miluo Qianzhangxue, washes some souls parting. Winning children, red silk wraps arms, good stories are told year after year. Dragon boat fights, flags and drums are arrogant and inferior. Whoever reads the words is romantic, calamus and peach willows, and recalls the paving of boudoir doors. Chewing Zheng Han Tao Yaxing, fighting for entertainment in the new year. Qingxing Garden, a bottle of wine should be poured. Nanxun should answer, take the king Sorrow ripped apart."

This word is quite good, and even several old people have said it, just talking about this word is enough to enter the Imperial College.Someone asked, "How do you feel about Liheng?"

Ning Yi replied, "It's really a good word."

There was someone over there who said, "Why don't Liheng also make the last song, and compare with Yu Gongzi, who is higher and who is lower."

It was a woman who made the sound. Ning Yi looked up, but it was the Zhou Qing county master of Chongwang's mansion, who was looking over with a smile.When Zhou Pei came to visit him one day earlier, he said that the cousins ​​were good to her, and he mentioned the name of the county master casually during dinner, so Ning Yi still had a good impression of her.At this time, she asked Ning Yi to write the lyrics, and the people around them echoed a few words: "Young Master Ning can make a poem like 'One Night Fish and Dragon Dance', and it must be a masterpiece at this time."

Someone laughed and said, "I really look forward to it. This poem will become a good story."

Yu Shaoyuan's eyes were a little gloomy over there, and he raised his head and smiled and said, "I was just about to see Brother Ning's talent. It's better to ask Brother Ning for a favor."

Ning Yi shook his head and smiled and said, "Brother Yu is very talented, this Nian Nujiao is really a good work. In the next look, I can only bow down to the disadvantage, and I won't be ugly."

On Yu Shaoyuan's side, precisely because this lyric might be recommended for admission to the Imperial College, he was waiting for Ning Yi. At this time, he heard Ning Yi give in, that was to give him his fame.For a while, he hadn't decided whether to accept it when he saw it or to force it over, but a smile already appeared on his face.At this time, someone next to him said, "Are you Ning Liheng?"

Ning Yi replied almost subconsciously, "Exactly."

The man said again, "Are you really Ning Liheng?"

These two sentences were a bit abrupt when asked. Ning Yi frowned and saw that the man in front had already slapped the table: "Shuzi! Do you still remember this old man!"

The man in front of him had all hair and beard. It was Xue Gongyuan of the Junwen Club. Ning Yi naturally found the image at this time. On the night he first arrived in Bianliang, he accused him and Yunzhu at the entrance of Fanlou, and then the old man who was scolded by him was right. is this person.He was a little helpless and a little funny in his heart, and he secretly scolded himself for being a self-inflicted sin.Naturally, he pretended not to know anything: "This old man, why did you say this?"

"Hey, you forgot, a few days ago at the entrance of the Fanlou Building, you and a woman were openly pulling and arguing on the street, in a wicked way! Sven sweeping the floor! The old man pointed out this, and you actually spoke ill. At this time, the old man I recognize you!"

When he said this, everyone was in an uproar.Ning Yi frowned and cupped his hands: "Is the old man's memory wrong? There is absolutely no such thing, it must be a mistake."

This matter seemed a bit sudden. Xue Gongyuan's words were firm, but Ning Yi was extremely innocent and sincere for a moment.The teacher over there saw this incident. He had already remembered that he had called Ning Yi earlier, but at that time it was no longer good to let Ning Yi leave, so he could only hope that the distance between Xue Gongyuan and Ning Yi would make Xue Gongyuan better. Can't recognize him.But seeing Ning Yi's performance at this time, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh in surprise.This matter is very abrupt, and people who know it don't do it, so she won't think it's a conspiracy by Ji Wanqing and others.

It was only after Ning Yi denied it, that Xue Gongyuan was so angry that he slapped the table again: "Shuzi! You dare to deny it! They told me just now that you are a liar who is trying to make a name for yourself, and the old man still doesn't believe it. At this time, the old man recognized it. You, you dare to pretend to be kind. The old man can conclude at this time that you are such an incompetent and unrepentant person, the reputation of Jiangning's genius must be deceived. Today is Bianliang , it's not Jiang Ning, the old man must make you not fool your reputation!"

After he finished speaking here, the university scholar Yan Lingzhong shook his head: "Gong Xue, this matter has not yet been concluded, so it is not good to be so arbitrary."

Someone in the crowd said, "I think he's a liar..." But it was a wealthy young man who was very close to Zhou Qing.

These few voices came out, and the rest clamored.The teacher sat there, but suddenly frowned, and glanced at Ji Wanqing beside him.Ning Yi also frowned suddenly.

Something...something doesn't seem right.

If this incident was just an accident caused by Xue Gongyuan, Ning Yi would probably only feel that it was a coincidence that he was unlucky, but this may not be the case at the moment. During that period of time, it seemed that someone had already told the people in front of Ning Yi's situation. The sudden burst of so many doubters and accusers in the crowd did not conform to the law of development.

The number one talent of Ning Yi, put it in Bianliang, maybe because of rumors, there will be doubters, this is not surprising.But in such a period of time, it has changed into this state, and it seems that what Xue Gongyuan and Yan Lingzhong conveyed is a one-sided view of Ning Yi's reputation. It is almost impossible to say that it is purely a natural development of rumors. of.

He became vigilant for a while, and over there, Xue Gongyuan patted the table and recounted what happened in Fanlou that night.People like Yan Lingzhong still maintained a conservative attitude, let Xue Gongyuan restrain, and gave Ning Yi a chance to defend and prove.Someone in the crowd said that Ning Yi really didn't write poetry or lyrics this time.

Yu Shaoyuan in front bowed his hands and said loudly: "I am willing to believe this brother Ning. Duke Xue, everyone, you might as well give him a chance. Brother Ning, you are known as the number one talent in Jiangning, and I will play this song. "Nian Nujiao", could it be that it can't really get into the eyes of Brother Ning, and can't arouse any poetic interest of Brother Ning?"

Ji Wanqing stood up over there: "The little girl also felt that Ning Gongzi should be given a chance. After all, he was brought here by the teacher. Everyone, it's better not to give the teacher any face."

At this time, she finally pulled Ning Yi and Li Shishi together, but since the beginning, Shishi sat there and covered her lips with a small fan, as if she had been thinking about something. At this time, she looked around and looked at Ning Yi again. Over there, he opened his mouth and said: "Everyone is too aggressive. If you want to talk about poetry, Brother Ning has written one before, but it was written to his wife at home, and the teacher promised him not to say it. But No matter what Brother Ning thinks, it seems a little bad for you all to suddenly be like this..."

She had already realized that things were not simple, and she was even wondering why it became like this. On the other hand, she didn't know how Ning Yi was going to deal with it, and she was a little hesitant about her words.If Ning Yi is willing to make the song "Huanxi Sand" public, at least this questioning situation can be solved, but if Ning Yi is willing or not, or if he is unwilling to use this "Huanxi Sand", he can't think of a better situation on the spot. What to do with the words.These are all in her head.

It's just that she mentioned that Ning Yi wrote a poem earlier, and everyone may still have some expectations. At this time, it is difficult to say it, and the voice of doubt suddenly rises.Someone said: "Miss Shishi is very good to friends, we all know that, but in such a situation, it would be bad to cover it up..."

Another person said: "What is unwilling to say it, if the teacher girl said something casually, it was written by this person, wouldn't everyone believe it..."

After all, there are still many people on Shishi's side in the crowd: "You don't believe what Shishi said."

With such turbulent words, the originally lively poetry meeting suddenly turned into a trial meeting to find out a liar, and it became even more lively.However, the teachers and Ning Yi glanced over, and they probably concluded in their hearts who were the staunch contributors, and could analyze the outline of the situation a little bit.Among the crowd, those who had originally come with the idea of ​​watching the show knew that the show had already appeared, and they became even more excited when they saw Ning Yi standing here.Under such circumstances, standing in the doubts of everyone and being an interrogated person is at a disadvantage no matter what. Even the teachers over there are a little uneasy. Of course, Ning Yi also understands this truth and feels difficult. The situation, he smiled and shook his head.

"If I write poetry, will it prove my innocence?"

Over there, Xue Gongyuan shouted: "You can write poetry too! Don't insult poetry! You can't cover up the fact of bad conduct..."

Someone in the crowd said, "Of course it's not just writing a poem. Watching the fish and dragon dance that night, why is the first talent in Jiangning so talented, at least he has to overshadow the son's Niannujiao!"

"If it's better than this Nian Nujiao, then the one who should be admitted to the Guozijian is this Ning Gongzi..."

"If he writes well, he naturally has this qualification..."

"The article is Tiancheng, I think it's just a little bit up to it..."

Under these circumstances, the most troublesome thing is the clamor, and there is also the second. The standards that everyone talks about are ever-changing, and it is always possible to deny the account.Even people who are truly talented and learned may not be able to perform well under such circumstances, and their reputation will have to be destroyed in the future.And what an amazing development to find a big liar at such a poetry meeting, everyone is enjoying it and adding fuel to the flames.Someone over there has already said to Shishi: "Miss Shishi, although you have a good heart, you don't have to get involved in this matter. Don't be deceived by this liar."

Lu Mingfang said over there: "This is very true. Even if you are a good friend, you should not protect and condone at this time. Hezhong, this person is also your friend. What do you think?"

Yu Hezhong was already in awe of Lu Mingfang, but at this time he cupped his hands and said: "Disciple...disciple has not seen him for a long time, and we are not familiar with him. If he...if he is really famous, the disciple should draw a clear line with him. It's just that ..." He felt that it was a bit bad to say this, and when he wanted to say something to add, Lu Mingfang had already nodded: "Okay, you go down."

But Li Shishi said, "I believe in Brother Ning."

In such a chaotic situation, everyone has almost dispersed, highlighting Ning Yi who was standing there.At the same time, at a side door leading to this side, Zhou Pei, who came in a hurry, was already looking here anxiously, breathing calmly.She knew that even running out at this time might not be of any use. The matter was so difficult, she was a little worried about whether Ning Yi could solve it.After all, even if they write a good poem at this time, they may not be able to solve all the problems. If they write poems, they will also take other exams. Things, follow their pace, and in the end there will be no face left, even if you say it out, most of the people who are tested in this way are inferior.

At this time, she heard Ning Yi speak again over there.

"I have a very strange temper. You want me to write, but I just don't want to." He smiled, "I'm just curious about what's going on here, and the teacher doesn't need to take out that word... If I don't write it, what can you do?"

His answer is somewhat unexpectedly rascal, and if he doesn't prove it now, his reputation will definitely be destroyed if he speaks out.But the other party's attitude is such a bachelor now. Standing there, he is still holding on to the wind without losing his momentum, which is obviously living up to the expectations of a group of audiences.

Among the five people in front, the serious-looking Pan Hongda obviously didn't like Ning Yi's attitude, and with a gloomy face, he said solemnly: "Today, I was waiting to meet friends with poetry, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by such a thing, but I just heard about it. Ning Liheng, if you really don’t have any explanation today, I Pan Hongda promises you that you will be in Bianliang in the future, not to mention fame and wealth, don’t even think about it. Convicted and imprisoned, believe it or not!"

Among these people, Pan Hongda is very strict in academics and has a bad temper. Everyone has always known it, but they never expected him to say such a thing at this time. It was only because he was questioned at the poetry meeting, and at most he was ruined. Possibly even jailed.Ning Yi glanced at him: "Oh? What's the reason?"

Everyone on the side actually frowned, feeling that it was too much.The teacher looked up and was a little surprised, Ji Wanqing frowned and said, "Pan Lao, this is a bit..."

"What do you know!" Pan Hongda glanced at her, "Hmph, you all know that this person is not only a genius in Jiangning, but also a guest of Jiangning Kangwang's mansion, and a teacher of Zhou Junwu, the young prince of Kangwang's mansion, and Zhou Pei, the county master!"

When he said this, everyone was in an uproar.
