Everyone couldn't help but chuckle when they heard this, and said again and again, "Grandpa Rong, you're welcome!" "Among the four young masters in the capital, Yin Chen is domineering and indifferent, seeing that most of them don't even look at each other, Ning Qingming is not in the capital all the year round, so Liu Hanxiao and Rong Tingfeng are relatively kind to them, so they are more popular.

After laughing, everyone regained their silence and continued to wait for Rong Tingfeng to speak.

"This time, as before, the poetry competition will be divided into three parts."

There was silence all around, only Rong Tingfeng's clear voice whispered in the Tingfeng Pavilion, "The first item, called Hundred Flowers Blooming, everyone present took out one of the poems they had written in the past, and thought it was the best one, for the judges to comment, and then circulated by everyone. ”

Hearing this, Shen Lian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, in this way, wouldn't it give people an opportunity to cheat? After all, it was done in the past, and it was easy to ask someone to write in advance, so I guess there should be corresponding measures in the future competition.

He also listened to Rong Tingfeng and continued, "The second item is called Seven Steps into a Poem.

Of course, it's just this name, and it's not really to make everyone a poem in seven steps, the real time of the competition is two quarters of an hour, and the title of the competition will be announced by me in public at that time.

After the judges' comments, you will circulate them. ”

Shen Lian nodded secretly in his heart, sure enough, this Rong Tingfeng can hold a poetry competition is still more thoughtful, and the first competition can still find someone to ghostwrite, but this second poem is composed on the spot, and it is still up to him to designate the topic, it is not possible to trick it, unless someone can find out the topic he set in advance.

"The third item is called Liuyu Qushui.

We also follow the example of the sages, when the title is written on a blank piece of paper, pressed under the wine glass, and whoever stops in front of the wine glass will write a poem on the spot. ”

"In the three competitions, the first two items are cumulatively scored, the first item accounts for 40 points, the second item accounts for 60 points, and the third item is counted separately.

If you are a judge, you will be the judges, and you will be the Marquis Liu, Princess Qinxue, me and Young Master Ning, I don't know if you have any objections? Rong Tingfeng's eyes swept over everyone's bodies, and asked with a light smile.

Although among the people present, Yin Chen's identity was the most noble, but he never thought of letting Yin Chen be a judge.

First, Yin Chen is not good at poetry, and secondly, he also knows that Yin Chen has no interest in being a judge at all, so he naturally won't be bored.

"We have no objection."

Everyone said without hesitation.

Liu Hanxiao not only has a high status, but also has a good reputation, and they are also fair and just to be the judges, so they naturally have no objections.

Rong Tingfeng smiled slightly when he saw this, "Since everyone has no objections, then the matter of the judges is decided."

Although the original intention of the poetry competition is to strengthen the communication between us poets, since it is a competition, there must be some prizes, so I have prepared a little heart for you, so let you see it first. ”

After finishing speaking, Rong Tingfeng clapped his hands gently, and suddenly several handmaidens with extraordinary looks each holding a tray covered with red cloth in their hands walked up with light steps, first bowed respectfully to him, and then stood up straight.

Although everyone's eyes were focused on them, they still stood upright without any panic.

Shen Lian also watched with interest, the Rong family was known as a rich country, and she also wanted to see what it was that Rong Tingfeng could take out as a color head.

In the eyes of everyone, who were half expectant and half excited, Rong Tingfeng stood up from behind a few cases, then got up and walked in front of the maid, and said with a smile, "The total score of the first two poems is cumulative, and the top three with the highest scores will be awarded, and the third item, evaluated separately, is also the top three with the highest scores, so I have prepared a total of six lottery heads for you." ”

"I don't want to whet everyone's appetite anymore, first of all, the third place in the first two, the color head is a pen wash fired by the former ancient master!" Rong Tingfeng picked up the red cloth on the tray with a folding fan in his hand, and suddenly revealed a small and delicate pen wash, the brush wash was white all over, obviously it was porcelain but it gave people a feeling like jade, plus it was fired by the porcelain master of the previous dynasty, which was also very valuable.

Rong listened to the wind and walked in front of the second maid, picked up the red cloth with a fan in his hand, and continued in his mouth, "The third place in the third item, the color head is a piece of Hetian jade pen washing!" Everyone saw that the brush wash was carved from white jade, and there was a sense of warmth at a glance, although it was also a pen wash, but it was much more expensive than the previous porcelain pen wash.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim Rong Tingfeng's generosity, but it was only the third place, and this color was already worth a lot of money.

Shen Lian watched it with relish, and secretly said in his heart, Rong Tingfeng's behavior, if it was placed in his previous life, I was afraid that someone would immediately jump out and say that he was showing off his wealth! However, seriously, she has to admit that this Rong family is really rich! Rong Tingfeng walked in front of the third maid again, lifted the red cloth again, and introduced, "The second place in the first two items, the color head is the best Chengni inkstone!" "I saw that the inkstone on the tray was oval-shaped, and there were some plants and flowers carved on it, which looked extremely exquisite.

The Chengni inkstone itself has the characteristics of "storing water without drying up, experiencing cold without ice, and sending ink without damaging a cent", which can be said to be an excellent prize for literati.

Rong Tingfeng didn't stop, and continued to pick up the red cloth on the tray of the fourth maid, "The second place in the third item, the color head is a piece of Hetian Moyu inkstone!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, only to see that this inkstone was square, looking extremely simple and atmospheric, and there were no other carvings on it, but it itself was carved from a whole piece of Hetian ink jade.

Hetian ink jade has always been rare, and its value is even higher than that of Hetian white jade, let alone such a large piece, this inkstone can be said to be worth a thousand gold! At this time, Rong Tingfeng had already walked in front of the fifth maid, "The first place in the first two places, the color head is the white jade brush used by Mr. Su, the great writer of the previous dynasty." ”

Then he walked to the sixth maid, Rong Tingfeng did not open his mouth this time, but directly picked up the red cloth, and what caught everyone's eyes was an ordinary-looking wolf pen, and there was nothing special, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment and doubt.

After all, according to Rong Tingfeng's style, the first place color must be the best, how can you take out an ordinary brush? At this moment, I only heard Rong Tingfeng's clear voice sound, "The first place in the third item, the color head is the wolf pen used by the saint today!" Rong Tingfeng's voice was not high, but it smashed heavily into everyone's hearts like a boulder, making their eyes instantly stained with a trace of heat.

The brush used by the saint is a gift! No matter how precious things are, they can't compare to them! "This Rong Tingfeng is really a good method, and even the brush used by the emperor has been brought."

Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh.

Yin Qinxue on the side said softly, "It's nothing, if you like it, I'll go to the imperial brother another day to get one for you!" Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "No need, I'm just writing a prescription, how can I use the ratio of imperial gifts." ”

She forgot that the brush used by the emperor is a good thing that others can't ask for, but in the eyes of Yin Chen and Yin Qinxue, I'm afraid it is the easiest to get, after all, the emperor is their own brother!

Rong Tingfeng waved his hand, and several maids left with trays again, and after the maids left, he said loudly to everyone, "Okay, since you already know about the color head, let's start the first item of the poetry competition, and let the flowers bloom!" ”

"Please take out the poems you have chosen and put them on top of the cases in front of you."

As Rong Tingfeng's voice fell, everyone took out the poems that had been prepared long ago, and the servants who were originally standing next to them stepped forward and carefully put away these poems one by one.

Shen Lian looked at this scene, and inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu when he saw the representative of the previous life class receiving homework, and couldn't help but smile lightly.
