"The young man Chen Yichen is not simple..."

Chen Ying, Hou Taining, sighed. When he saw Chen Yichen fighting against Zhu Ji before, he felt extraordinary, and now he proved his conjecture.

"Indeed, it's very agile and accurate in response to the fight back."

Duke Xu Xianzong of Wei agreed, "These people are all good people, and Zhu Jin could tell from the beginning that they provoked and targeted them, but he didn't expect Chen Yichen to fight back so beautifully."

Hearing the praise from his colleagues, Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong was in a complicated mood.

Although he vaguely noticed that Chen Yichen had changed a lot when he had a long impression and understanding, it was almost impossible to suddenly change his mind. Zhu Yong still looked down on this maid.

All of this can be said to have been a subversion at today's banquet. Chen Yichen's current performance cannot be described as just changes, and it is no different from changing one person.

Zhu Yong didn't know whether he should be happy when facing Chen Yichen's change. After all, except for the father-son relationship in blood, he did not have much feelings for this son, so he was mixed.

"Chen Yichen, you..."

Faced with this kind of "group ridicule", Zhu Jin's mentality was completely broken. He was anxious and annoyed and pointed directly at Chen Yichen, wanting to curse.

But at this moment, a Jinyi student stood up beside him, grabbed Zhu Jin's arm and shook his head, stopping his impulsive behavior.

Then he turned to look at Chen Yichen and said, "Senior Chen is quick-witted and as a former classmate, I admire him. The true scholar should look at him with admiration after three days of separation."

"Since that's the case, I'm going to write a poem to ask Senior Chen. I wonder if my junior will agree?"

If Zhu Jin had just raised Chen Yichen before, then the current student in Jinyi was almost like publishing a letter to Chen Yichen openly.

At ordinary family banquets, this kind of provocative behavior that is too sharp and provocative may be stopped and interrupted. However, most of the present were military generals and honors, and unlike those who relied on supervising titles in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there were many people here who went to the battlefield.

Watching the fun is not a big deal. Some of the tough military generals Xunqi even slapped the table and waited for Chen Yichen to "respond to the challenge".

"I'm in trouble, Chen Yichen's poems are definitely not as good as him."

Chen Qingtong muttered in a low voice, her face full of worries.

"Miss, how can you know that I haven't compared it yet? Didn't Mr. Chen deal with it very well just now?"

Xueer was very puzzled. Chen Yichen mocked Zhu Jin for having the upper hand and not looking weak. Why did the lady "be afraid before fighting"?

"You don't know that this person's name is Zeng Mengjian. He was a high school scholar at the age of 20. If it weren't for the death of his father, Ding You might have been a Jinshi now."

"Even so, he has been awarded a high school student for ten years of orthodox B.C., and his chances of winning in high school are certain. The inner court even believes that he can achieve the third grade."

"So awesome?"

After listening to Chen Qingtong's explanation, Xueer was inexplicably worried about Chen Yichen. After all, only the top scorer and the second scorer can be called the Three Dingjia. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for such a pride of heaven to beat him.

Not to mention Xue'er, even Chen Yichen herself is thinking about how to give up now. Zeng Mengjian was a leader in the private school in the outer school and entered the private school in the inner school with absolutely excellent grades. She was a top student in the Ming Dynasty!

But many times, you don’t just want to retreat. There is no doubt that if the other party doesn’t find this place today, you won’t let him go easily. Now that things have come to this point, you must at least not lose. Chen Yichen is not a person who admits his conscience in his bones.

"Okay, I'll ask Brother Zeng for advice."

"I dare not take it."

Zeng Mengjian bowed his hand back very politely, looking like a gentleman, but in fact the two of them had already smelled of gunpowder.

"I'm drunk and full of passion in my heart, and I can't laugh and talk endlessly."

"Poetry and calligraphy are accompanied by one's heart, and the harmony between the zither and the zither is even more prosperous."

"There are still husbands in the middle, and the left and right are young Fu Wen."

"There are new poems to reward old friends, but I am afraid that Liu Xiang will not know the book."

With his hands and feet raised, Zeng Mengjian wrote a seven-character regulated verse. Compared with Zhu Jin's previous flamboyant and vulgar style, this poem has a heroic intention and expresses its ambitions in its heart, making people feel majestic.

"What a good poem, with the legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties!"

An official who was over 50 years old sat at Shen Yichen's table, applauded and applauded with satisfaction after hearing Zeng Mengjian's poem, and obviously appreciated it very much.

"Sun Tixue's eyes are like a torch, but this son has great talent."

An official next to him also praised and called the other party Sun Tixue. If Chen Yichen remembered correctly, the current name of the Yingtianfu official is Sun Ding, and he also serves as the censor. It seems that this is the one.

Good guy, Zhou Zhixian, the chief examiner of the county examination, sat next to him, and Sun Tixue, the chief examiner of the college examination, was his deskmate. If nothing unexpected happens, Ying Tianfucheng, the chief examiner of the court examination, should also be at this table, and directly gathered all the three chief examiners of the college examination!

If this leaves them with an impression of poor academic knowledge today, then the children next year will probably have to lose their fortunes again, let alone get a scholar exam.

"Duke Chengguo, your school is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. No wonder he can win the championship."

On the main table, Chen Ying, Hou Taining, praised Zhu Yong at the right time. He knew very well the purpose of today's banquet. It seemed that Zeng Mengjian's talent would be favored by many people.

"Yes, if this son's eight-legged classics have this level, then he might be able to win the title of Wen Qian."

Li Long, the uncle of Xiangcheng, agreed, and then smiled and joked at Chen Ying: "Marquis Taining, no wonder you would let your beloved daughter go to Duke Cheng's Mansion to study. It seems that one day I will send a grandson to Duke Cheng's Mansion."

Faced with the guests' compliments, Zhu Yong quickly waved his hand and humbled himself, but he felt a little proud in his heart. Zeng Mengjian was indeed very knowledgeable and indirectly proved the strength of the Duke Cheng Mansion's House.

You should know that most of the honors and relatives of the Ming Dynasty were military generals and were awarded titles. In the eyes of literati, they were just uneducated big men. If Cheng Duke's Mansion could achieve a prosperous literary style, wouldn't it be both civil and military?

Just as he was praising and complimenting, Zhu Qingyu suddenly stood up and flattered him: "Senior Brother Zeng is really a talent for Yiqun. This poem makes me admire you very much. Especially the last sentence, it can be called the finishing touch!"

As soon as Zhu Yuqing's words came out, the students of the inner courtyard burst into laughter. Just like Chen Yichen's last poem before, he wrote the last sentence of Zhu Jin's poem, Zeng Mengjian's last sentence was also a satirizing Chen Yichen.

The poem "But I'm afraid that Liu Xiang will not know books" quotes the "Book Burning Pit" by Zhang Jie in the Tang Dynasty. The original sentence is "Liu Xiang did not read books."

This sentence originally meant that literati satirized Qin Shihuang's remarks on burning books and burying scholars and controlling them was meaningless, but was overthrown by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, two people who had not read much.

Zeng Mengjian changed this poem and used it on Chen Yichen, mocking him for not studying, which just echoed his current identity as a "school child".
