Chapter 148 The famous scene that cannot be escaped
Yan Nansheng sat beside the governor with a worried look on his face, watching these candidates trying their best to display their talents in order to attract the governor's attention.
It has to be said that the ancients’ poems and songs allow people to feel the beauty of artistic conception.
Yan Nansheng was thinking about poetry in his mind, and he was sure that someone would mention him soon.
After all, he was invited to the inner courtyard as soon as he entered the mansion and was seen by many students. He also attended the banquet with the governor, which attracted everyone's attention.
At the lively Luming Banquet, the guests were laughing and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
However, in this harmonious atmosphere, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
Yan Nansheng said inwardly, "As expected!" A scholar in a blue shirt with a double-breasted collar stood up, and the golden belt around his waist came off the moment he stood up.
The sun set, and the light refracted from the golden belt almost blinded Yan Nansheng who was facing him.
He came, he came, with the mentality of finding trouble.
He first bowed to the seated Master Pei and said, "Master, I am Zhang Gang, from the Zhang family of Jiuyou Prefecture. I am from the same prefecture as our current champion Yan Jieyuan. I have always admired Brother Yan."
"I've heard that Brother Yan is very talented. With such a beautiful scenery today, why don't you compose a poem and perform it on the spot to broaden our horizons!" His voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly flashed with curiosity, wanting to watch the fun without any hesitation.
The scholars around were stunned at first, and then their eyes turned to Yan Nansheng who was named.
When they heard Zhang Gang call Yan Nansheng "Brother Yan", they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
This Yan Jieyuan has always lived in rumors. He never attends any poetry meetings or various banquets.
She rarely appears in public, and only students studying at the Yan family school have the chance to catch a glimpse of her face.
Today I heard that as soon as he arrived at the Governor's residence, he was led into the inner courtyard. Could it be that the Governor has a close relationship with him?
Now that someone has spoken, it is a good opportunity to see the strength of this champion.
Yan Nansheng saw that the atmosphere had become so heated that there were as many as five or six people at the banquet who had studied at the Yan family.
Just when they were about to refute this person's words, or wanted to perform on behalf of Yan Nansheng, they knew that Yan Jieyuan did not like such occasions and wanted to help her avoid them.
Yan Nansheng shook his head at them, and they stopped thinking.
Zhang Gang also saw the quarrel between several people and Yan Nansheng, and he became even more arrogant when he saw this.
He was born in the Zhang family of Jiuyou Prefecture. His family was in the grain business, and his father originally planned to send him to the Yan family to study.
But he didn't think highly of the Yan family's studies. He had never heard of the Yan family. The teacher he hired at home was not as famous.
Later, the reputation of the Yan family's school gradually spread far and wide, and even the Emperor praised Yan Nansheng by name.
He then wanted to go to the Yan family to study, but the Yan family refused to accept him!
How could this be possible! What a lousy academy that dares to offend even the Zhang family!
Today we must expose the true face of this shameful champion!
Yan Nansheng slowly stood up, walked to Zhang Gang's side, performed a standard student salute to Lord Pei who was sitting in the upper seat, then turned around and performed a peer salute to the students present.
The slender figure, dazzling beauty, and humble and polite attitude shocked everyone. They quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
The scene was a little chaotic for a while.
This... it's the same kind of greeting, but why does Yan Jieyuan's way of doing it look so good?
And the aura all over his body made them a little weak in the knees...
The young master is so handsome and unparalleled in the world...
"I really don't deserve to be called 'Brother Yan' by Brother Zhang. After all, I am only ten years old this year and I really can't bear to be called 'Brother Yan'"
It took Yan Nansheng's words to bring everyone back to their senses.
Everyone was shocked.
"What? He's only ten?"
"Ten years old? How is it possible that he passed the imperial examination at the age of ten, and even won the first place in the imperial examination?"
Questions and exclamations arose one after another.
Among the candidates, an old man stroked his beard, his face full of disbelief: "I have studied hard for decades to achieve what I have today, but this boy passed the imperial examination at the age of ten and became the top scorer. This is really rare!"
Everyone's eyes focused on Yan Nansheng again, and they began to look at him carefully.
Yan Nansheng was already about 1.7 meters tall, with an upright posture and an extraordinary bearing.
His calm temperament and composed demeanor made everyone ignore his age.
Even Zhang Gang, who originally wanted to cause trouble, was stunned when he heard that Yan Nansheng was only ten years old.
He stared at Yan Nansheng blankly, his mouth slightly open, unable to close for a long time, and muttered: "He is only ten years old? He is actually only ten years old!"
The originally arrogant expression froze in an instant, replaced by a face full of shock and disbelief.
Zhang Gang's heart was in turmoil at this moment. He originally thought that Yan Nansheng was about the same age as him, and wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass the other party to show off his own power.
But I never thought that the person standing in front of me was a child who was only ten years old, and had achieved such amazing results.
He felt extremely ashamed and remorseful; his ignorance and arrogance were fully exposed at this moment.
However, Yan Nansheng was not at all panicked in the face of this sudden situation.
She looked calm, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, and her straight, slender body seemed to contain enormous energy.
Under the gaze of everyone, she bowed slightly and cleared her throat, "Since Brother Zhang has invited me so sincerely, I will show my ugliness."
She walked forward a few steps, came to a more open area, stood there and looked around.
After getting ready, he started talking.
"The elegant banquet of Luming gathers the virtuous and the wise,
The fragrance of calligraphy lingers in the air.
The talented scholar happily spoke of the wonderful rhyme of poetry,
The beauty smiles and dances in colorful clothes.
The love is deep and profound.
Wonderful music and beautiful sounds have long-lasting meaning.
On this day of honor,
Ming Dynasty spread its wings and soared freely"
“Let me give a few lines of poetry to the students here.” Yan Nansheng adjusted his sleeves calmly.
"Youth must be used early, how can you stay young forever?"
"Young people work hard for a lifetime, so don't waste your time and energy."
After Yan Nansheng finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.
He was warning all the students that while they were still young, they should not focus on useless disputes and comparisons.
"Today is a great time to learn from each other and make up for our own shortcomings. In learning, we should learn from the strengths of all schools and make up for our own shortcomings."
"Instead of wasting time here meaninglessly."
"You must know that time is more precious than gold, and gold cannot buy time."
Zhang Gang still stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, the muscles on his face twitching slightly due to extreme shock.
His heart was filled with regret and self-blame at this moment, as if there were millions of ants gnawing at it.
He could never have imagined that he would be so reckless as to provoke a child who was only ten years old, and such an outstanding child prodigy.
The discussions of the people around him were like needles piercing his heart.
"Zhang Gang is really blind. He actually picked the child prodigy."
"He is so embarrassed now. She is only ten years old and is much better than him."
These words made Zhang Gang's face turn from red to white, and then from white to blue.
His hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched, unclenched and clenched again, trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
His lips trembled, and he wanted to say something to save the situation, but he found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a word.
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He tried to calm himself down, but his legs kept shaking like sieves.
At this moment, Zhang Gang was like an eggplant hit by frost. He had completely lost the arrogance he had when he was causing trouble just now.
He knew in his heart that this time he had not only lost face in front of everyone, but also left an indelible stain in his life.
