Rong Yunhe smiled faintly. Not to mention that she judged by the fog, that is, judging from Zhang Yuanwai's efforts to persuade her to sign up temporarily, she knew that these two pots of flowers were about to enter the top ten, otherwise why would Zhang Yuanwai do anything else?
Her mind was entirely on the other eight pots of flowers. The ranking just announced is a little different from what she originally judged with fog, and the two pots of flowers she judged were not shortlisted, and the other two pots entered the top ten.
Hearing that Rong Yunhe's two pots of flowers were in the top ten, there was a "buzzing" discussion in the audience.
"Haha, there's a lot of excitement now." Most of them laughed with great excitement. Although Rong Yunhe grabbed a place in the top ten, everyone was still very happy to be able to bring a lively scene to everyone.
"Are you alright?" Although Fu Heng knew that there were many eyes watching their line in the field, he was worried about Rong Yunhe, so he still glanced at her with concern and asked in a low voice.
Rong Yunhe shook his head: "It's okay." She is not nervous now, but she is not very sure of being able to make a satisfactory poem, and she can only take one step at a time.
"Even if I fail, it doesn't matter, then I will ask my father to give Rong Hui and think of a way. It's a big deal to let him go to the academy after the New Year. Fu Heng said again.
"Well, I see, thanks." Rong Yunhe knew that Fu Heng was worried that her heart for gain and loss was too heavy, but she played abnormally. I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart and smiled at him.
"Young Master Rong, are you ready?" Zhang Yuanwai walked over, stood next to the high platform, leaned over and asked.
"Ready." Rong Yunhe nodded.
"Then please come on stage."
Although there were a lot of people, everyone stood quite sparsely. Seeing her coming over and letting go, Rong Yunhe squeezed smoothly from the side of the stage to the front of the steps and went on stage. Two Confucian scholars had already moved a table and placed it aside. and put pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Rong Yunhe walked to the table, arched his hand to the judges on the stage and the audience, and then went to the table, stretched out his hand to scoop a small spoonful of water onto the inkstone, and slowly sharpened the ink.
Seeing that Rong Yunhe was still calm in front of everyone, several adults on the stage nodded secretly. Especially Su Houye, he did not hide his admiration on his face. praised Li Tingshi twice. Although Mr. Pei's face was as calm as water, his eyes were always watching Rong Yunhe's every move with concern.
Seeing Rong Yunhe's performance on stage, Li Yuewan sighed softly. whispered to Li Qi: "It seems that she is really talented, not at all what we thought. To be honest, if I were on stage. I can't be as calm as she is. Not to mention accepting the challenge of others and composing poems in public. If such a woman is as you said before, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with. ”
Li Qi glanced at Fu Heng, who was staring at Rong Yunhe nervously not far away, then looked at Rong Yunhe with burning eyes, smiled, and said, "Don't you think it's getting more and more interesting now?" ”
"Huh? Interesting? What's interesting? Li Yuewan was stunned for a moment. looked at Li Qi suspiciously.
Li Qi shook his head with a smile and motioned for her to stop talking. Li Yue also knew that this was not the place to speak. I had to swallow the doubts in my heart and look at the stage.
"Okay, I've made the rules clear just now, the questioner can only use the name, color, shape, and product of your flower. Now, let's get started here. Seeing that Rong Yunhe was ready, Zhang Yuanwai pointed to a person and said. In his mind, Rong Yunhe originally planned to use orchids to compete, and orchid poems were naturally available.
Let the orchid contestants come up with the question, which should be a good start. And after Rong Yunhe gets the poem title, if he is inspired, he can stop in public, write the poem after thinking, and then let the next person come up with the question. She can also ask eight people to finish all the poems, and then choose four or five questions to write. This is more straightforward than the previous method.
"Start with me?" The man in the audience pointed to his nose and asked Zhang Yuanwai, with an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Exactly." Zhang Yuanwai nodded.
The smile on the man's face became more obvious, and he arched his hand to Zhang Yuanwai and said, "Master Zhang, there is a request below." Since Gongzi Rong dared to stand on the stage to challenge the eight of us, he naturally believed that he was talented and learned. But just now, Master Zhang has made his words clear, and if he asks Rong Gongzi to make poems immediately, there are some rules. Do you think this will work? I personally challenged Rong Gongzi that if she could write the poem I had just written in seven steps, the pot of orchids in front of me would be hers, and the ranking would belong to her in a while. What do you think? ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Yuanwai to answer, he shouted at Rong Yunhe, "Young Master Rong, do you dare to accept my challenge?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was in an uproar. In ancient times, Cao Zhi became a poem in seven steps, and it became a good story, and no one surpassed him. At this time, the lord of the orchid made a bet in front of the adults on the stage with a seven-step poem, betting that a pot of orchids that may be green clouds, this idea, this courage, this handwriting, there were hundreds of people present, and no one could stand out.
"Who is this dude? So many adults on the stage don't give face, aren't they here to stir up the situation? Someone asked.
"In my opinion, he has a grudge against Rong Gongzi, right? That's a basin of green clouds, and the cost is really big. ”
There was a lot of talking.
Ladies and gentlemen, who do you say this man is? But it turned out that Yu Qingming, who had a dispute with Rong Yunhe in the Orchid Garden. He himself is a showman, and the orchid was carefully cultivated by him, so when Li Qi needed to avoid it due to identity issues, he represented the orchid garden in this competition. This person thinks very highly of himself, but he has been repeatedly hit by Rong Yunhe, and the anger in his heart has not subsided. seized the opportunity today, and wanted to embarrass her and make her a big ugly person in public. But what made him depressed was that this member of the staff limited the scope of the question to death, and in desperation, he came to such a hand.
Anyway, he is a hopeless person in the imperial examination, so he is naturally not afraid of offending Zhang Yuanwai and others on the stage. As for Li Qi, he didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, the two are in a relationship of mutual use, and it's a big deal, he patted his ass and left. There is a lot of orchid cultivation skills, where can you not feed people? Anyway, he has made a lot of money in Li Qi's hands in the past two years, and he went back to his hometown to buy a small yard to grow orchids, but he was also at ease.
"Brother. Go and persuade Mr. Yu. Li Yue later saw Yu Qingming attacking Rong Yunhe, although she didn't know about the festival between the two, but Yu Qingming wanted Rong Yunhe to make a fool of herself. Let her think that she is talentless, everyone can see it. Her surprise was followed by worry. Although she can't say whether she likes Rong Yunhe or not, she is also a woman, and she still has the same hatred and hatred, and she doesn't want her to be too embarrassed today.
Li Qi didn't move, and chuckled: "If no one forces it." How can we see the depth of Rong Gongzi? ”
"But I'm worried that Mr. Yu will be beaten on the way back today." Li Yue saw Fu Heng in front of him. Looking at the anger and cold light in Yu Qingming's eyes, he couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Although Mr. Yu is the person I invited, but General Su beats people, don't you think this is more interesting?" Li Qi glanced at Fu Heng. A smile of indeterioration appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Li Yuewan glanced at Xue Wuniang, who was a few steps away from her. No more talking.
And Zhang Yuanwai on the stage saw that Yu Qingming actually made such a request to Rong Yunhe, and he was both happy and worried. Happily, this effect is what he wants. If Yung Yunhe can really accept the challenge and make a poem, it will be a good story of the flower viewing party, and the sensational effect is needless to say, is there a more effective move to justify the name of the flower viewing party? Worriedly, Rong Yun and a little girl who has not received an orthodox education. Even if she can usually write one or two poems, how can she be so talented. Seven steps to poetry?
Thinking of this, he didn't blame Yu Qingming, and turned his head to Rong Yunhe.
Seeing that Zhang Yuanwai did not have a trace of annoyance on his face, he also turned his gaze to Rong Yunhe, obviously not opposing this challenge. Some students in the audience who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic suddenly shouted: "Young Master Rong, accept his challenge." It doesn't matter if you can't make poetry, don't be a coward. ”
"Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, but don't even lose your guts."
When Rong Yunhe Yu Qingming asked the question, he felt bad when he saw the ill-intentioned smile on his face. But he didn't expect that he didn't take the few adults present in his eyes, and he had a problem at the beginning. Immediately said: "Mr. Yu, Zhang Yuanwai has repeatedly emphasized that the flower viewing party is a place for everyone to show their talents, not a casino for competition. The gamble proposed by Mr. Yu directly goes against the original intention of the adults to hold the flower viewing party. So I can't accept this bet, boy. I'm sorry. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people who had just made a coax turned white. The venue suddenly fell silent, for fear that as soon as he made a sound, someone would say that he didn't take the adults on the stage seriously.
As the saying goes, if you don't want it, you are strong. This is also suitable for Yu Qingming's body. He has experienced too many things in his life, and the family has gone from prosperity to decline, and he has long looked down on life, so how can he be frightened by Rong Yun and these words? smiled slightly: "Gongzi Rong is right, it's me who didn't think it through." Otherwise, if Rong Gongzi can become a poem in seven steps, it means that Gongzi has a poetic talent, and it is estimated that even the topics of the other seven friends will not be difficult for you. So, as long as you can write a poem in seven steps, and then rank the ten flowers in the same ranking as the adults have set, you will win the challenge. At that time, my orchid will be given to you as a gift of atonement, what do you think? ”
This made everyone in the audience want to be in an uproar. Isn't it embarrassing that the ranking of the ten flowers should be the same as the ranking set by the adults? You know, many of these ten flowers have not yet been distinguished. For example, Yu Qingming's pot of orchids, and Rong Yun and that orchid, who is superior and who is inferior in the end, where can ordinary people have such a vision? Not to mention the distinguishing flowers and trees.
At the moment, everyone set their eyes on Yu Qingming. They can see that this gentleman has a grudge against the young Rong Gongzi on the stage.
But Yu Qingming's condition made Rong Yunhe's heart slammed. First of all, among all the flower poems, she is most familiar with orchid poems. As long as Yu Qingming's questions are not too tricky, there should be no problem; And the ranking of the flowers, this matter may be a problem for others, but for her who can see the fog, it can be said that sleepiness meets a pillow, which is just right. Although this ranking may not be all right, for the eight kinds of flowers to make five poems, she would rather choose the former, and the odds may be better. Even if you can't get it all right, the loss of face is not big, but it's much better than not being able to make poetry.
Thinking of this, Rong Yunhe was worried that Zhang Yuanwai would refuse Yu Qingming for the sake of face, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu, it's not that I can't accept your challenge. But there is one thing, are you qualified to represent the other gentlemen? ”
Zhang Yuanwai was really as Rong Yunhe expected, and he wanted to reprimand Yu Qingming and adhere to the original regulations. But listening to Rong Yunhe's words, seeing that she looked calm and relaxed, as if she was quite willing to accept Yu Qingming's challenge, her heart turned around, and she swallowed the words that had just come to her mouth. Seriously, he really wanted to see if Rong Yunhe could compose poetry in seven steps. Stipulating that thing is nothing compared to the sensational effect caused by the seven-step poem.
Where would Yu Qingming believe that Rong Yunhe could do the two conditions he said, thinking that she said this, she just wanted to advance and retreat, and hurriedly said to those people: "A few friends, what do you think?" In fact, I look at Rong Gongzi's appearance, and I am full of confidence in the next two challenges. At that time, we can enter the top ten of this flower viewing party with the genius who made a poem in seven steps, and it is an honor to say it, isn't it? Why don't you just do it? ”
None of the people present were stupid. Seeing that Rong Yunhe answered his mouth, Zhang Yuanwai took in the anger on his face, as if they were willing to do it in this way, who of the other seven people wanted to be this evil person again? Immediately, an old man spoke: "We listen to Lord Zhang's arrangement. ”
Zhang Yuanwai saw that everyone agreed, and was about to speak, when he heard a crisp slightly childlike voice in the crowd shouting: "The conditions of this challenge are too harsh, right?" Isn't this a bunch of adults bullying children? ”
Everyone followed the prestige, but saw a teenage boy with a round face, with a look of indignation.
This little boy is the youngest son of Su Houye. However, what he said was not what he wanted to say, but Fu Heng was afraid that Rong Yunhe would suffer a loss, so he instigated him to shout. His identity is too sensitive, and not only will he not be able to help Rong Yunhe when he comes out, but it may be counterproductive. But this little boy Su is a child, but he is not afraid.
Zhang Yuanwai naturally recognized Su Xiaogongzi, and when he saw Fu Heng standing next to him, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked Rong Yunhe: "Rong Gongzi, if you also feel that the conditions are too harsh, you can put it forward." There is a saying that if you ask for a price all over the sky, you will pay back the money on the spot. If Mr. Yu puts forward his conditions, you can also put forward your conditions.
