Chapter 725: Fighting Poetry with Wang Gongzi
As soon as I left the old fortune-telling stall, I couldn't help but look at Shopkeeper Liu and asked, "Brother Liu, why did you come to go shopping too?" ”
Shopkeeper Liu listened to my question, and responded with a faint smile: "This town is not big, and it is not surprising to meet you." ”
"How long has Brother Liu been in this town?" I looked at him and asked.
"I grew up in this town since I was a child, and I can be regarded as a person here," Shopkeeper Liu's tone seemed to be mixed with a bit of amazement.
Seeing him like this, I knew that he must have a story, so I hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Since Brother Liu has grown up in this town since he was a child, he should be very familiar with this town." ”
"Not bad." Shopkeeper Liu nodded.
Before I could speak again, the three girls behind me shouted, "Liu Gongzi, since you are from this town, you should know what is interesting in this town, right?" ”
"That's it, Liu Gongzi must know where to play, Liu Gongzi will lead us there."
"It's definitely right to let Liu Gongzi take us to play."
Shopkeeper Liu listened to the chirping of the three girls, and suddenly couldn't help frowning, I looked at him with an embarrassed look on the side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, since the three of them want to pour out the Lu to play, it will be difficult for Brother Liu, and they have to be pulled out by them!" ”
Shopkeeper Liu listened to my words and looked at me with a blink of an eye, "It's rare that Bi Gongzi can control these three beauties, if he is someone else, I'm afraid it will be really unblessed!" ”
Listening to his words, I was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what he meant. But I won't explain too much, some things get more and more confusing the more I explain, so it's better to just think about it.
Looking at the three girls shouting and begging, Shopkeeper Liu couldn't, so he had to agree to take them to a good place with beautiful scenery, since Shopkeeper Liu promised to take them to play together, then I didn't bother to say anything more, as long as the three of them didn't beg me.
In this way, the four of us followed behind Shopkeeper Liu and walked straight through the noisy street market.
The five of us walked along the street market, and after a short time we came to a torii street. Compared to the previous market. The archway street in front of me is even more lively, not only there are bursts of shouting and selling, but also the monkey is performing energetically, and the onlookers let out bursts of applause.
Shopkeeper Liu led us into the crowd. As soon as I walked in, I saw jaw-dropping acrobatics. Cheer amused monkeys. There are also regular items such as chest crushing boulders and swordsmanship performances, although such scenes have often been seen in costume dramas before. But this is the first time to see it with my own eyes and it is so close, and I immediately feel extremely fresh.
"Bi Gongzi, this strong man is so powerful, doesn't it hurt if this sledgehammer hits the boulder in his chest?" The princess looked curiously at the boulder that she was picking up the sledgehammer in her hand and smashing it at a strong man who was lying flat, and couldn't help frowning and turning her head to look at me and asked.
"Uh...... It shouldn't hurt! "I don't know the principle of the broken boulder in my chest, so I can only answer vaguely.
"Husband, you see that monkey is very naughty, and he will make faces at us!" Situ Hong on the side couldn't help but pull the corner of my clothes, pointing to a little monkey who was performing and shouted.
"Uh-huh." I nodded nonchalantly.
On the other side, Yuqiong was looking at the two girls who were trying their swordsmanship, and the sword flowers flying up and down were coming out one by one, so that the onlookers couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers.
I was relieved to look at the dizzying expressions of the three girls in front of me, but I was tired of wandering around this afternoon.
"Bi Gongzi ......." Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, Shopkeeper Liu called me softly.
I turned my head to look at him and answered, "Young Master Liu......!" ”
"I heard that Bi Gongzi is the new champion appointed by the emperor, and it must be good to think about poetry. Shopkeeper Liu looked at me with a smile on his face and said.
I looked at it along his fingers, not to mention, it's not a big archway There are any entertainment items on the street, and even the game that the literati will do is complete, listening to the words of the shopkeeper Liu, I understand what he means, he wants to test whether I have the real talent of the high school champion, since I want to compete, then I will take it.
I clasped my fist at the shopkeeper Liu and said: "Brother Liu has a good reputation, and it is the duty of a scholar to write poetry. ”
"Bi Gongzi, please ......!" When the shopkeeper Liu saw that I should go down, he raised his hand and made a gesture of please.
"Brother Liu, please ......!" Seeing this, I also made a gesture of please.
The scene of the poetry in the archway street is placed in a slightly quiet pavilion, more than a dozen scholars who look weak and weak each hold a folding fan in their hands, or bow their heads or whisper or look up, each scholar looks like a frowning and thinking about something, Liu shopkeeper is not polite, and led me straight into the pavilion.
"Oh, how can Liu Gongzi have leisure and leisure today, and come to this poetry scene?" Just as Shopkeeper Liu led me into the pavilion, a crisp voice sounded in the pavilion.
Before I looked up to follow the prestige, I heard the shopkeeper Liu next to me respond with a smile: "What did Wang Gongzi say, today I just brought a friend to take a look, and I didn't plan to play with a few people!" ”
"Liu Gongzi laughed, the scene of this poem is used by us literati and scholars, so why not take a look at it!" The crisp voice said loudly.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't answer when he heard this voice, but I raised my head and looked at the person who spoke, this gazebo was not big, I saw a scholar wearing a plain robe, who looked a little thin, was looking at me with a smile on his face, I couldn't help but meet his gaze for a while, I sighed, how is this like a ghost who has died unjustly?!
"What is this son's name......?" When the scholar saw me looking at him, he looked at me with a smile on his face and asked.
"Under ......." Since the other party wanted to ask for his name, it was not good not to answer, but before I could say anything, I was interrupted by the shopkeeper Liu next to me, "This poetry scene has always been based on the literary quality of winning or losing, Wang Gongzi wants to know how to call his friends, why not go against him?" He turned his head and winked at me.
I saw Shopkeeper Liu winking at me, and I immediately felt that there must be something strange in this, so I nodded lightly.
The scholar who called Wang Gongzi saw that Shopkeeper Liu said that he was right in the competition, and he was immediately excited, and couldn't help but look at me and said, "Since Liu Gongzi said it, I wonder if this brother can agree?" ”
"Hehehehe...... since Brother Wang wants to see the clumsy work of the younger brother, then the younger brother will be ugly!" I nodded in response to his gaze.
When Wang Gongzi saw me nodding, he immediately looked excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and the scholars around him who were thinking about something were lively and all gathered around, I looked at Wang Gongzi's expression and wondered for a while, saying that these ancient scholars are all the same as those students who did not get into college in the college entrance examination in later generations, can they really go crazy for this matter? !
I didn't speak anymore at the moment, followed the prince to the center of the pavilion, shopkeeper Liu walked to my side and said in a weak mosquito voice: "Bi Gongzi, this prince has been recognized as a prodigy since he was a child, he can read and write at the age of three, he can recite poetry at the age of seven, and he can write well at the age of thirteen, but I don't know what Lu Dao is, since the prince was eighteen years old, he has gradually lost his talent, and now he is not as good as an ordinary scholar!" ”
Listening to the words of Shopkeeper Liu, I sweated in my heart, I will go, this is a typical injury Zhongyong!
The prince didn't know what the shopkeeper Liu was saying in my ear, so he walked straight to the stone table and spread out a blank piece of paper, then raised his eyes and looked at me and said: "This brother, since you are a friend of Liu Gongzi, it is better for Liu Gongzi to come up with a topic, how about you and I compare the poems?" ”
"Since Wang Gongzi said it, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" I saluted.
When Wang Gongzi saw that I should go down, he turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper Liu beside me, and the shopkeeper Liu was not polite, and stepped forward and said: "Since Wang Gongzi let me ask the question, then I will make the next one." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the archway street outside the pavilion, then nodded slightly and said: "It's April of willows, so why don't you ask the two of you to write a poem with the theme of April willows, how to ......?" As he spoke, he looked at me and Wang Gongzi.
Before the two of us could respond, all the scholars on the side responded: "Okay, this topic is really good......!" "With Liu Gongzi's talent, this topic is ...... the right time!" "April willows, willows in April, it's really like seeing it......!" "If the prince and this prince can make absolutes, they will definitely be famous all over the world......!"
Listening to the hustle and bustle of these scholars, I couldn't help but feel depressed in my heart, my forehead dropped, just such a title of 'April willows' can be famous all over the world? Could it be that there are really no literati in this world?
