Chapter Seventy-Nine: For the Sword
Asu finally received An Jiuniang's letter, but the news brought to her in the letter was that she was going to marry Fu Gufeng, this news was not only Asu, but also Li Xiang and Li Guangbi felt incredible, Li Guangbi even blamed himself a little, whether it was because of his refusal to marry, which caused An Jiuniang to feel sorry for herself and find someone to marry. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info because the servant Gufeng they know is really not a good match.
But it's going to rain and the mother is going to get married, this kind of thing can only be blessed, Li Guangbi immediately wrote back, so that Mrs. Wang and they still prepare a generous gift, he still has a trace of guilt for An Jiuniang in his heart, and besides, Fugu Huaien has a good relationship with himself, and it is reasonable, and etiquette is naturally indispensable.
Since Asu met Yang Xuan in the market last time and was almost kidnapped, she only dressed as a man when she went to the street again, and went to tailor a white round-necked robe and put on a black hat. She didn't dare to go out alone, either follow Li Xiang or let Xiaoju follow her, but she was always safe and sound, and no one harassed her.
On this day, Asu routinely changed into men's clothes, called Xiaoju, and went out happily, she counted the days, and in a few days, Li Yizhong should have taken Mrs. Wang and them from Lingzhou, and then there would be a lot of people. In addition, in ten days, Li Hui should be on vacation from Guozijian, thinking that the two of them didn't say goodbye last time, thinking of the note left by Li Hui at parting, and then thinking about the crazy actions he had done, Asu was both excited and nervous in his heart, and he didn't know how to open his words when he said goodbye.
The master and servant walked all the way on the street, and when they walked through the Lanyue Pavilion, they found that there was a large circle of people, and the voices of the people were so loud that people couldn't help but pay attention. Asu took Xiao Ju's hand, stood on the periphery and listened to the people around him, it turned out that it was here to hold the annual poetry competition of Lanyue Pavilion, and those who won the first place could get the prizes provided by Lanyue Pavilion, this year's prize is said to be a treasure in the store, a cold Longquan sword, which attracted a lot of gearing up and eager to try.
Aso looked at the sword hanging in a conspicuous position in the store, extremely sharp, dazzling blue, like a flood of autumn water. I thought to myself, if he gave this sword to Brother Hui, he would wear it heroically, and he wouldn't have to borrow someone else's weapon when he met a bad guy, he gave himself a dagger and gave back the sword, which also complemented each other. As for poetry, if you are a modern person, you can't win by taking some works from the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
"Where can I sign up?" Aso grabbed a person next to her and asked, she really wanted to participate.
Xiao Ju looked at her with wide eyes and surprise, "Little, little boy, you want to participate in the competition?" β
"Yes, you just have a good look, today, I want to win that sword." Aso stretched out his hand to point to the sword hanging in the lobby, and said with a confident smile to Xiao Ju.
"This little Langjun, what a big breath, after all, he is still a child." At this time, a young man wearing a navy blue brocade round-necked robe next to him turned around, looked at Asu and snorted softly.
Seeing that he was richly dressed, with a leisurely and elegant posture, and a sachet and jade pendant hanging from his waist, Asu naturally knew that he should be a son of a noble family, although his tone was full of disdain, Asu was not annoyed, and thought, when the time comes, you will know, who is a child, who is a big talker.
"This brother, is there an age limit for registration? If not, I'll sign up. Aso said lightly at him.
"That's not true, I'll also sign up to see how far the little brother can go?" The man in blue looked at Asu with interest and said a little provocatively.
At this time, another man beside him suddenly turned around and asked curiously, "Do you still have less swords?" And this. β
When Asu heard the prestige, he saw this man, twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed in a dark robe, with a handsome face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a sassy demeanor, and a majesty and righteousness between his eyebrows and eyes, although he was slightly similar to the man's facial features in blue, but his temperament was much better.
"Big brother, I'm just going to have a good time, anyway, let's have fun today." The man in blue looked back and smiled, then said to Asu, "Let's go, little brother, let's go up there and sign up together." β
This time, the poetry competition is on-site registration, the rules are simple, the host gives a word, everyone writes two lines of poetry, and the first sentence must contain this word. Verses can be self-created or quoted, and they are shown at the same time after the specified time, and the judges judge that the best half of the people who write are left, and the remaining half are eliminated, and then they go into the next round, continue to give words, write verses, and then eliminate half of them, and when one person wins in the end, that person can take away the Longquan Sword.
The gongs and drums of the contest were beaten, and thirty or forty contestants sat down in the lobby of Lanyue Pavilion, including men and women, old and young.
Asu stood on it at this time, looking at the onlookers outside the lobby, he was confident just now, but now he is a little stage frightened, and then look at the man in blue in the same hall, but he looks light, Asu quickly put away the flicker in his eyes, pretending to be calm and self-promised, compare it, although he can't compose poetry, but there are many dynasties after the Tang Dynasty in his mind, who is afraid of whom.
With the sound of the gong of "Dangdang", a maidservant girl slowly walked to the middle of the field with a scroll, and then smiled and unfolded the scroll to show it around, on which was written the word "month". This word is very easy to write, and many people here immediately put pen to paper, and several of them wrote Li Bai's famous sentence, "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." β
Aso thought to himself that he couldn't fall into the clichΓ©, and if he wanted to write, he would write about what they had never heard of in the future. The first thing she thought of was Su Shi, so Asu wrote "When is the bright moon, ask Qingtian for wine." β
Sure enough, the same is not a good thing, when the roll was closed, the writing "bright moonlight in front of the bed" was put aside, and when the judges saw Asu's sentence, they couldn't help but nod and praise, I thought it was a heroic man who wrote this sentence, but I found that it was just a thin little boy, which surprised many people around. Of course, including the man in blue and Xiao Ju, Xiao Ju was the Qin Erniang who never expected to be giggling on weekdays, and her relationship was still a talented girl, looking at Asu with a starry face.
The next words began to be more difficult to write than one another.,In the fourth round.,There were only five people on the field.,At first glance, it looks like five men.,In fact, I don't know that the youngest is indeed Aso who is dressed as a man.γ The other four, according to their age, the eldest seems to be a teacher, the second is a middle-aged man with a bit of fairy style, then a shy young scholar, and then the noble boy in blue, at this time he also looked complacent, and turned his head to smile at his eldest brother in the crowd.
