Because I was afraid of being beaten.
Also afraid of being killed.
but
Xia Yaomo looked at the girls, but the people at the same table with him looked at Brother Xia, and then looked at where his eyes were passing. He happened to see the girl Su Linhan sitting on top of the top ten tables. Now he stood up and bowed to everyone and said hello.
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 confused for a moment, he smiled: "Why, Brother Xia really likes Miss Linhan, right? 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. After smiling helplessly, he took a closer look at Su Linhan. Although not as good as her sister-in-law, she was still 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 handed over to Xia Yaomo, and it happened to be handed over to Su Linhan today. It was regarded as Su Changan's 'sister' congratulations to his sister's high school Jinjin.
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.
And at this time.
Right above the upper seat.
Su Wenqing listened to Cui Yu, Su Zimu and others discussing how to revise this Jingye Si.
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 came out, several people at the table immediately laughed.
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 folded 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 over.
And 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 the bed, I suspected it was frost on the ground. I raised my head to look at the mountains and the moon, and lowered my head to think about 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 when Zhu Zhuo finished saying this, his expression suddenly became stunned. He looked at the poem carefully, with doubts on his face: "But... how can I change this? Is it necessary 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.
Disaster!Disaster!Disaster!
"No wonder even Old Master Su couldn't do anything about it." Wu Fan sighed.
But just after he finished speaking, Wu Fan raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yaomo, who was already close to the seat, and said: "Brother Xia, you are going to make a big 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 look at 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."
