Wen Zhong still underestimated his status in the minds of these talents in front of him.

Wen Zhong is not only the prime minister of the empire, the leader of the literary world, but also the idol of everyone in the eyes of talents.

And Wen Zhong's experience is also legendary!

Yijie Buyi, who became famous at the poetry meeting by asking for questions, and then worshiped Mr. Liufeng as a teacher, entered the political arena, and became the prime minister of the empire, which can be called a model of literati!

It can be said that to this day, the daimyo of Wen Zhong has long been a household name in the empire, and in the eyes of the literati, it is not only an object of worship, but also a target to be surpassed.

But it is such a person who occupies an important position in the eyes of everyone, and now a person who has never heard of him suddenly appears and wants to challenge him, how can everyone bear it?

No matter how famous this person is in the British Empire, and he is His Royal Highness the Prince, but this is China!

Therefore, before Wen Zhong could speak, many talented people in the field had already taken the lead in opening their mouths.

"Ridiculous, Lord Wen Zhong can challenge if you want to, if you have to challenge, pass me first!" One of the talented people saw that Prince Jason was so rude, and actually challenged his idol Mr. Wen Zhong, and his face immediately flushed with excitement, and his face flushed.

"Prince Jason, doesn't he really treat me as nothing?" I don't want to learn how powerful Prince Jason is!" The other genius was also filled with righteous indignation.

Prince Jason was also stunned when he saw this, Prince Jason obviously didn't understand the thinking of the Orientals, nor did he understand Wen Zhong's status in the minds of everyone.

However, the person behind him is really right, and Jason really didn't take everyone seriously, and there are only two people who interest Jason, one is Wen Zhong, and the other is Ye Chen.

"There is a saying in Huaxia that there is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher. The meaning of this sentence must be clearer than me, that is, there is no priority in the length of study time, and whoever knows the knowledge is enough to be the teacher of whom, in that case, why can't I challenge Mr. Wenzhong?"

When Ye Chen heard this, he glanced at Prince Jason deeply, and he couldn't see that the Prince Jason in front of him still knew a lot about Chinese culture.

However, it is arrogant enough!

Not only Ye Chen, but everyone also understood what Jason meant, and their gaze at Prince Jason was even more unkind.

"Hmph, arrogant, I just don't know if Prince Jason really has this strength, or only this confidence!"

The person who spoke was named Ma Yuan, and he had talked to Ye Chen before, and he was a very talkative person, and it was said that he was also good at writing poetry.

Seeing this, Prince Jason also knew in his heart at this moment that if he didn't convince these people first, these people would not let him challenge Wen Zhong, and Jason didn't want to waste time, so he said proudly:

"Since you are not convinced, this is a poetry club, let's use poetry to divide the superiority. ”

As soon as Prince Jason's voice fell, Ma Yuan also immediately agreed:

"Okay! I wonder what Prince Jason is going to do?"

After listening to Ma Yuan, Prince Jason spoke:

"I don't understand Chinese poetry, it's better than modern poetry!"

In recent years, due to the development of the cultural revival movement, the literary world has generally become more enthusiastic about ancient poetry, and his usual poems are generally ancient style poems, which is also a general trend in the literary world today.

On the contrary, modern poetry itself is not good at.

A glance out of the corner of his eye, seeing that Prince Jason still looked like no one in his eyes, he was also a little annoyed in his heart, so he agreed.

"I'm just not good at it, it's not that I can't write, besides, I don't necessarily know how good this Jason is!" Thinking in his heart, Ma Yuan also had some confidence.

took two steps forward and came to Yang Ningzhi's side, and Ma Yuan arched his hand towards Yang Ningzhi.

"Please ask the princess to ask for a question!"

"Princess, please!" said Prince Jason in agreement.

Things are developing very fast, Wen Zhong and Yang Ningzhi haven't reacted yet, and when they react, it's no longer good to stop it.

Wen Zhong smiled bitterly in his heart, and had to wait for the development of the situation on the sidelines.

Yang Ningzhi saw that things had come to this point, and he didn't say more, not to mention, Yang Ningzhi was not sure if it was deliberately done by the British Empire, so he glanced at Prince Jason deeply, but it was a pity that the previous image of Prince Jason's arrogance and conceit made Yang Ningzhi too impressed, and he couldn't see any clues at the moment.

Yang Ningzhi also knows a little about this person named Ma Yuan, who is also well-known among the younger generation in the imperial literary circle, especially good at seven-character poetry.

However, I have not heard much of Ma Yuan's modern poems.

Although he was a little worried in his heart, Yang Ningzhi also had his own thoughts.

Although Yang Ningzhi likes classical culture and is also good at composing poetry, he is very proficient in both modern poetry and ancient style poetry, but Yang Ningzhi has always been low-key, and he only likes poetry purely, and he doesn't want to be in the limelight at the poetry meeting.

"As a last resort, I have no choice but to play!"

Thinking so in his heart, Yang Ningzhi couldn't help but glance in Ye Chen's direction.

"If only he could make a move, with his talent in modern poetry, no one present can stand out!"

Unfortunately, the latter was indifferent, on the contrary, he looked at Ma Yuan and Jason with interest.

Yang Ningzhi was slightly annoyed.

"In that case, let's use the topic of leaves!"

Between the beautiful eyes, Yang Ningzhi smiled again and asked Prince Jason:

"Your Royal Highness, what do you think?"

A typical oriental face, no powder, bright eyes and bright teeth, like a fairy, Prince Jason was shocked by Yang Ningzhi's inadvertent beauty, and was slightly stunned, and only when he reacted did he notice that there was such a beautiful oriental woman at the poetry meeting......

"My pleasure, Your Highness the Princess!"

A standard gentleman's courtesy, Prince Jason seems to have turned into a polite British gentleman in an instant.

Yang Ningzhi frowned, and didn't understand the reason for Prince Jason's sudden change, seeing that both sides had no opinions, Yang Ningzhi said lightly:

"So, let's get started! The time is limited to half an hour!"

Ma Yuan was about to speak, when Prince Jason said lightly:

"Don't bother, Your Highness Princess, I can compose a poem at any time. ”

When Ma Yuan heard this, he was immediately angry, how could he say that he was also a young talent in the empire, how could he have been so underestimated?

was provoked by Jason like this, Ma Yuan also held his head high and said:

"No need, Your Royal Highness Princess, I already have a draft below!"

As soon as Ma Yuan's voice fell, the rest of the audience immediately applauded loudly.

"Good job, Brother Ma, after the poetry meeting, my little brother will invite you to drink!"

"Brother Ma is amazing, I, Dewey, will definitely make you a friend. ”

When Ma Yuan heard this, his straight waist couldn't help but harden a little more.

Yang Ningyan glanced at the two of them very seriously, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then please ask the two of you to recite it again." ”

Ma Yuan glanced at Prince Jason and arched his hand at Jason.

"Then it's up to you to throw bricks and lead the way. ”

Prince Jason shrugged, noncommittal.

Seeing this, Ma Yuan snorted coldly, arched his hand towards Wen Zhong and everyone present, and said loudly: "The name of the poem, "A Leaf"

A leaf

Falling leaves in spring

Very reluctantly

It's also very helpless

The foliage and flower buds do not pay attention

A leaf

Leaves shed in spring

Longing for spring

Soak up the sun

A leaf

Leaves drifting alone

I want to kiss the earth

Turn spring mud and protect flowers

But they don't know where the wind carries it

As soon as Ma Yuan finished reading, everyone applauded.

"Brother Ma, it's well written! "A Leaf", which seems ordinary but is actually great!"

"It's really good, longing for the sun, longing for the leaves of freedom, like a lonely fighter, wandering alone, Brother Ma!"

Ye Chen also glanced at Ma Yuan with some surprise after listening to this poem, even from Ye Chen's point of view, this poem is not bad, whether it is the angle or the idea, it is a good work, and after glancing at Prince Jason not far away, he may not need to make his own move.

Listening to the voices in his ears one after another, full of praise, Ma Yuan was also a little proud, this poem can also be regarded as Ma Yuan's proud work, if it weren't for Prince Jason's aggressiveness, Ma Yuan would not have taken it out at this time, thinking so in his heart, Ma Yuan looked at Prince Jason with some provocation.

Prince Xu is Jason felt Ma Yuan's provocation, took two steps forward, looked around, and said directly: "Poem name, "If I Were a Leaf"

If I were a leaf,

I'll turn yellow before someone else picks me off,

If I were a leaf,

I'll turn into spring mud before others sweep me away,

If I were a leaf,

I'll break my bones before the kids make me into a specimen,

If I were a leaf,

I'd rather be in the coldest Himalayan peaks,

Enjoy my life, which is neither humble nor arrogant, but only for me.

As soon as Prince Jason finished reading this poem, Ye Chen frowned, and then glanced at Ma Yuan with some regret.

In all fairness, Ma Yuan's poem is not bad, but there is still a bit of a gap between it and Prince Jason's poem.

In Ma Yuan's poem, the leaves pursue freedom, have the courage to struggle, and are willing to contribute, and the idea is already excellent. The same is true of Prince Jason's poem, in which the leaves are more like a tough guy with iron bones, even if he is crushed, he is not like fate bowing his head, and he does not go with the world.

Compared with the two, it is undoubtedly Prince Jason's poem that is superior.

……

After reading a poem, Prince Jason said lightly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't need to say anything more about which is better or worse, right? Now can I challenge Mr. Wen Zhong?"

Seeing that Prince Jason was still calm, everyone was very unhappy in their hearts, but from the eyes of everyone, they had to admit that Prince Jason's poems were indeed better, and there was a feeling that they couldn't get used to him and couldn't beat him, which was very painful! This also made everyone pay attention to Jason in their hearts.

"This man is not only arrogant and conceited, but also conceited!" everyone thought to themselves, and many of them extinguished the idea of challenging Jason.

After all, anger is anger, but not everyone has the courage to be slapped in the face in public when they know they will lose.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Jason said a little proudly:

"It seems that you are convinced, if you are not convinced, it doesn't matter, even if you come out to challenge me, if there is no one, then I will challenge Mr. Wen Zhong!"

As he spoke, Jason's eyes were fixed on Wen Zhong, disdainful of everyone.

Jason's appearance made everyone very indignant in their hearts, especially Ma Yuan, whose skills were not as good as others, and now he was so despised by others, and he looked ashamed and embarrassed.

There was a sudden silence in the crowd, although they were not used to seeing Prince Jason, and they were a little helpless.

If there is no restriction of modern poetry, everyone can have two tricks with Prince Jason if they go up casually, and there are many people who are stronger than Prince Jason, but this modern poetry is really not what everyone is good at, and it seems that Prince Jason has a very high attainment in modern poetry.

This is like a martial arts master fighting with a rural villager, who could have done it with just two moves, but it was stipulated that the internal force of the move was not allowed, so that a technical flow suddenly became a physical flow, and the result can be imagined.

Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Prince Jason was even more proud, and he was about to walk towards Wen Zhong as soon as he took a step.

Yang Ningzhi on the side was also a little disappointed when he saw this, but Yang Ningzhi obviously couldn't let Prince Jason challenge Wen Zhong in front of him, after all, there was no question of what kind of identity Wen Zhong participated in the poetry meeting this time, Wen Zhong was the prime minister of the empire, representing the face of the empire, of course Yang Ningzhi couldn't let Prince Jason get his way.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop it and go into battle in person, at this time, another voice came.

"Prince Jason is, the person who comes is a guest, His Royal Highness the Prince has come from afar, as the host, we are welcome in the middle of the road, I don't know if Prince Jason has ever heard of such a sentence, there is the beauty of the badge, there is the great old city of etiquette! I have always been a state of etiquette, and everything pays attention to a word of etiquette! As the junior of Mr. Wen Zhong, since Prince Jason wants to challenge Mr. Wen Zhong, he can do it for him!"

When Prince Jason saw that it was Ye Chen, a smile also appeared on his face, and he said with some uncertainty:

"Are you sure you really want to challenge me?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, and said, "In the next Ye Chen, please advise!"

Seeing this, Prince Jason was even happier in his heart, there was no doubt that Ye Chen was one of the few prey that could interest Prince Jason, and moreover, Ye Chen was still angry about Prince Jason's "rudeness" before, and Prince Jason didn't mind teaching Ye Chen a lesson before challenging Wen Zhong.

Ye Chen ignored Prince Jason's thoughts, and then came to Yang Ningzhi's side again, and said softly:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please ask the question!"

Yang Ningzhi had already expected it in his heart when he saw Ye Chen who opened his mouth before, and now that Ye Chen really agreed, Yang Ningzhi was also relieved in his heart.

For some reason, Yang Ningzhi always had an inexplicable trust in Ye Chen.

As soon as Ye Chen's words fell, Prince Jason on the side spoke and stopped: "Slow!"

Seeing that Yang Ningzhi and Ye Chen were both looking at him, Prince Jason smiled faintly, turned a deaf ear to Ye Chen, stared at Yang Ningzhi with a pair of eyes, and said lightly:

"In my opinion, it's better to use Her Royal Highness the princess as the theme!"

As soon as Prince Jason finished speaking, Yang Ningzhi frowned, and he was very unhappy in his heart, but the etiquette habits he had developed for a long time made Yang Ningzhi not know how to refuse.

Everyone in the audience was also in an uproar, and Ye Chen didn't expect that this Prince Jason would be so bold as to openly disrespect Yang Ningzhi.

Seeing this, Prince Jason didn't realize anything wrong in his heart, in the West, it is a common thing to directly praise a lady's beauty, so Prince Jason didn't feel anything wrong.

Yang Ningzhi looked around, smiled, and said generously:

"Since His Royal Highness the Prince is in love, then the clotted fat is disrespectful!" (To be continued.) )
