Inside Chunxi Garden.

The corners of Xiao Ze's mouth rose, revealing a chuckle and said: "I am in Bianjing City, I have heard that there is a great talent in Jiangnan, and he has written a lot of poems, such as "Appealing to the Heart", "Su Curtain Cover" and other words, and also wrote "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Legend of the West Chamber" and other legends, drama scripts, etc., which are also widely spread in Bianjing City, so if you want to ask for advice in person, Su Gongzi can be in the garden? ”

He intended to meet Su Chen, so he directly picked it out, looked for Jiang Zuo Su Lang, and tested the depth of talent.

The Jinling scholars present looked at each other, asked each other, looked around, and did not find Su Chen's figure.

At the banquet, Xu Xuan asked Han Xizai in a low voice, "What about Yixuan's others?" Haven't arrived yet? ”

Han Xizai stroked his beard and said, "It shouldn't have come over yet." ”

"Then he won't come tonight, will he?" Xu Xuan asked a little anxiously.

Han Xizai shook his head and said, "Yi Xuan promised to come, and he shouldn't break his promise." Perhaps, the young man is playful, and now he is wandering the streets, intending to arrive a little late. ”

Xu Xuan sighed unwillingly: "But right now, there is no young Jinling talent who can compete with that person, so he can only temporarily let the people of the Song State envoys be arrogant for a while." ”

"Well, let's see, there are also some Jinling talents at the poetry meeting, or former Jinshi, who write poems and fight poems, and they can resist for a while! The later Yi Xuan comes, the last shot, there will be tension! Han Xizai smiled slightly, the city is quite deep, and he plans to let the talents of Jinling grind Xiao Hanlin in the north first.

Even if the talents of the Jinling scholars are compared, Han Xizai feels that it is just right to pave the way for Su Chen's appearance, so he doesn't deliberately care if he loses the face of Tang Guo at this time, let them young people go.

Seeing that no one stood up, Xiao Ze shook his head and said in disappointment: "It's a pity that I can't see Jiang Zuo Sulang, is this person not really talented and learned, so he doesn't dare to appear in the poetry meeting, for fear of being exposed; Or is he arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't look down on this poetry club at all, and disdains you to talk about poetry at the same time? ”

This Xiao Ze can be described as a heart-wrenching word, and the speculation he put forward, no matter which one is possible, is a kind of smear and provocation against Su Chen, which is not good for his reputation.

"Nonsense, how can Master Su be this kind of person!"

"That's right, Jiang Zuo Sulang, famous and talented, the poem he wrote is not better than your two songs!"

"It's really a battle between fireflies and Haoyue!"

The surrounding Jinling scholars began to lip back, although some people began to be a little jealous of Su Chen's talent, but at this moment, they unanimously defended their Su Chen, after all, this is their talent in Jiangnan, the banner of the younger generation of literary circles, and they will definitely not agree to be insulted by the Song people.

Seeing this situation, Han Xizai instead overflowed with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which he was happy to see, so that more literati in Jinling would spontaneously work together to protect Su Chen's reputation and interests, and [Biqu Island fo] formed a momentum, which was very beneficial for him to gain a foothold in Jinling.

Although Xiao Ze faced the verbal counterattack of many people, he didn't care, he had the determination and courage to go alone despite tens of millions of people, and sneered: "Then why haven't you heard of it, Su Chen and Su Yixuan wrote Qixi words?" ”

"Didn't write the Tanabata words?"

The onlookers of Jinling were stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, Su Chen really hadn't written Qixi words.

But some people were not convinced and retorted: "What's wrong with not writing Qixi words, can you write a poem every festival to prove your talent?" ”

"That's it, poet immortal Li Bai, poet saint Du Fu, don't you have to write Qixi poems to be recognized, it's really a joke."

"Northern barbarians, it's ridiculous."

Xiao Ze heard that everyone was slandering and besieging him, but he didn't care, smiled faintly, and said to everyone: "The so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, and I admire Su Gongzi's name, so it is not difficult to meet friends with words here, but unfortunately, I didn't meet it after all. ”

Although he said it politely, every word was carrying himself, suppressing Su Gongzi and the talented people of Jinling, so all the surrounding scholars were angry.

What the hell is this ramming!

Looking at him, it gives people the feeling that the tiger is not in the mountain and the monkey is the overlord.

Princess Yongning and Zhou Jiamin hid in the crowd, and they were also angry after hearing the words of this northern Hanlin attendant.

Zhou Jiamin said angrily: "He is also too confident, and he still dominates the guests, do you think you can win, and question Su Chen's brother's talent, it is really ignorant and arrogant." ”

"This envoy of the Song Kingdom is quite annoying, but it seems that he also has some talent, after hearing that this person is the Xiao clan of Lanling, he still has some knowledge, which suppresses our young talents in Jinling! Alas, only when Su Chen came could he contend with him, but he ...... Why haven't you come yet? Yongning was also a little anxious.

"I knew earlier, I would have gone out of the palace to find him first, and now maybe he is sweet and happy with Sister Qinqing, I missed it again, huh!" Zhou Jiamin regretted it very much and couldn't help but complain.

"Don't worry, since he promised to come to the Xiyuan Poetry Club, he will definitely not break his promise, and he is waiting to see." Princess Yongning comforted

Zhou Jiamin, otherwise she was worried that she couldn't wait to go out to find Su Chen.

At this time, a student of Taixue stood up, polite and polite, and arched his hand: "In Xia Kangqiao, the lyrics and songs are considered to be written in general, but they are quite interested in the couplet. ”

When Xiao Ze heard this, he glanced at Kang Qiao, sneered slightly, and nodded: "Yes, whether it is writing words or pairs, I will come with you, just explain the rules, and come to learn from each other in a dignified manner." ”

Concho said: "The rules are very simple, you make a couplet, I come right, and then I make a couplet, you come right." Take the number of seven as the limit to see who can match the most pairs and who can win. But for the sake of fairness, we can't use anything that is difficult through the ages, and we can't use hearsay to make a pair, let's make a pair from the scenery and things that can be seen by the naked eye around here. ”

Xiao Ze pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "It's fair, then please all the adults here and the people of Jinling to be a witness together." ”
