Everyone was talking about An Lin's poem "The Swallows Fu", but after Zhang Yanling's poem "The Swallows Poems" came out, everyone focused on it.

Just like that, Zhang Yanling became the opinion leader here.

Even Lu Heng looked at Zhang Yanling at Zhang Yanling, bowed and praised him sincerely: "Your talent is really impressive, and I really admire you."

Zhang Yanling didn't take it seriously.

What kind of poem is this?

It was just a limerick poem written by myself at will, not even a limerick poem. What I borrowed was the poem "Bamboo and Stone" of later generations. The first sentence had the charm of "no matter how the winds in the east, west, south and north", but it became a slander of a slanted poem that cursed people.

Perhaps it is written clearly with the hidden poems of this era. His poem seems a little obscure at first glance. This group of scholars didn't see it for a while, so they can only say that they are not good at learning.

Cui Yuan saw that Zhang Yanling was showing some behavior in front of the scholar, but was afraid that Zhang Yanling would scold him, so he was about to attack the group of scholars. He hurriedly pulled Zhang Yanling's sleeve and said, "I'll go to have tea first, so I won't stay here for a long time."

Lu Heng was not familiar with this group of people at first. Seeing that Cui Yuan insisted on leaving, he said goodbye to the people present. Everyone said compliments to Zhang Yanling. Some even wanted to be more familiar with Zhang Yanling, and they wanted to push Zhang Yanling as a banner to fight with the worms in the court.

...

...

The group arrived at the chess club opposite and sat on the third floor. Lu Heng specially chose a window position, opposite the window on the second floor of the tavern.

Lu Heng probably wanted to listen to the praises of Zhang Yanling's poems again, which meant to please Cui Yuan and Zhang Yanling.

After the tea was served, Lu Heng personally poured tea for the two of them. When pouring tea for Zhang Yanling, he asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang is very knowledgeable, I don't know who he is, and how is his fame now?"

Zhang Yanling smiled but said nothing.

Cui Yuan, who was standing beside him, looked emotional, this uncle of the Ming Dynasty, was already Jianchang. He could be prosperous and wealthy without doing anything in his life, and he also had to take the exam for fame and fortune?

But due to Zhang Yanling's previous instructions, he could not speak out loud, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Cui Yuan stammered: "Brother Zhang has fame."

Just as Lu Heng was about to ask questions, a middle-aged man shouted in a drunken voice: "Checkout!"

This person was the scholar in his thirties who had noticed before, who drank in the corner on the second floor of the restaurant. In this era, scholars in their thirties were very common, and they were all born in their thirties.

His rough voice attracted the dissatisfaction of many scholars on the second floor of the restaurant: "We are talking about knowledge, so we must not make noise!"

The shopkeeper had already come upstairs, but when he saw the man tremblingly took out a little scattered silver and copper plates from his purse, settled the wine money, stood up, and walked staggeringly to the poem written by Zhang Yanling, nodding and saying, "A group of scholars are cursed by people who write poems, and are only concerned about calling them good to others... This word really has a bit of Zhao Mengfu's character."

His speech was filled with an old-fashioned aura. The more he did, the more he guided the dissatisfaction of the young scholars on the other side.

Originally, they were not in the same group as Zhang Yanling, but now with the help of Zhang Yanling's poems, they feel that they are in the same spirit as Zhang Yanling, and insulting this poem is like insulting their personality.

"Who are you? You dare to speak like this? Are you asking for a fight?"

The man took out the folding fan on his waist and lit the words of the poem on the table. It was from the fourth word in the first sentence, the fifth word in the second sentence, the sixth word in the third sentence, and the last word in the last sentence.

"You are waiting for the maggots?"

Finally someone couldn't help but shout out.

The second floor of the opposite tavern was in an instant.

We praised this poem for a long time, but the person who wrote this poem was scolding us?

How is this possible?

This poem is obviously a curse of the borer in the court, and it is so plain that it is as white as paper.

We want to choose him as the opinion leader, why do we scold us?

What's wrong with him?

Those scholars instantly felt like they were being thundered by five thunders, and their outlook on life seemed to be subverted. A group of people found nothing. If they weren't revealed by a drunkard who came out inexplicably, they would have continued to be kept in the dark and continued to applaud the people who wrote poems...

For scholars, this is a great shame.

Just as the scholars on the second floor of the restaurant were at a loss, the middle-aged scholar walked downstairs step by step and walked out of the restaurant door.

On the chess club, Lu Heng's face seemed to have eaten yellow lotus, and his eyes were staring at Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling pretended to be puzzled and thought for a while, saying, "If you read it in a string, it would be really 'you maggots', but I was also unintentional, so I can only say it was a coincidence."

Lu Heng and Cui Yuan were both a bit knowledgeable, but they didn't think about it carefully because they wrote poems because they were their companions.

But if you think about this matter carefully, you will immediately find that the problem is wrong.

Zhang Yanling was obviously not the poem he wrote without intention.

Because before Zhang Yanling wrote this poem, something happened, that was that Zhang Yanling accidentally knocked over the ink on the song "The Sinfish Fu". Doesn't this mean that Zhang Yanling was very annoyed by these scholars?

Cui Yuanyuan said, "It must be unintentional. Brother Zhang has written poems to echo those literati. How could he have the will to scold them again?"

Lu Heng had a lot of questions. He wanted to know what kind of hatred and grudges Zhang Yanling had with these scholars.

But now Cui Yuan is talking for Zhang Yanling, so he is embarrassed to say more.

At this time, Zhang Yanling's eyes were falling downstairs and the middle-aged scholar who was coming out of the restaurant and preparing to leave.

"Who is that?" Zhang Yanling asked.

Lu Heng put down his doubts for the time being, looked down the window and carefully identified them, took a breath and said, "This person is very famous. Among the candidates who took the exam, he was very famous. He thought he was the top scholar. Unexpectedly, he did not even pass the Jinshi exam. He was Zhu Yunming, who was famous for his poetry and painting in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, he was also here."

Zhu Yunming?

Isn’t that Zhu Zhishan, who can be ranked among the four talents of Jiangnan with Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing?

Thinking of this person, Zhang Yanling's mind was full of two coconut shells in front of Chen Baixiang, waving a whip and looking vulgar. However, Zhu Yunming in real history is a talented man in Wuzhong. In addition to failing the imperial examinations many times, he was definitely an outstanding person from his background to his family.

Zhang Yanling frowned and said, "Zhu Yunming? His regular script and cursive script are famous all over the world, so why are they so depressed?"

Zhu Yunming is also listed in Zhang Yanling's talent collection list, but he thinks that this person will basically not be recruited by him.

Zhu Yunming's grandfather was Xu Youzhen, who had been prime minister, Zhu Hao, a Jinshi during the Zhengtong period, and Li Yingzhen, a famous calligrapher in the dynasty. Such a scholar who had cheated could actually fall to the point where he was short of money when drinking in the capital?

Lu Heng sighed, "Brother Zhang may not know that Zhu Yunming failed the exam twice, just like me. I heard that after his old Mr. Li of Taishan passed away, his family was far inferior to before. When he went to the capital for the exam, he came to the capital with the will of winning. Now he is probably not ashamed to return home."

Zhang Yanling nodded.

As a collector in later generations, of course, I know the situation of these famous calligraphy and painting masters in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunming’s biggest regret in his life was that he failed to pass the imperial examination. He was very similar to that of Tang Yin in terms of imperial examinations. However, Tang Yin has not yet passed the Yingtianfu provincial examination and is still preparing for the provincial examination at home.

Three years left...

Li Yingzhen passed away in the sixth year of Hongzhi. Li Yingzhen's calligraphy and painting are far less valuable than Zhu Yunming's calligraphy and painting.

The main reason is that Zhu Yunming has a very famous reputation.
