Yu Wenming didn't know why, looked up at him, and arched his hand and said, "I don't know what else does Chai Gongzi have to teach?" ”

"I heard from the shopkeeper that you want to buy a brush?" Chai Shao squinted his eyes and asked with a look of disdain.

"Yes! But I've already bought it! Yu Wenming raised the second-hand brush in his hand that he only bought with eighteen yuan, and said loudly.

"Huh! Boy, if you can write such a talented poem, how can you only use this old brush of eighteen dollars? Anyway, you should use this......" Chai Shao said with a smile. Then he took out a half-foot square cyan jade box from his pocket.

"This is a set of four treasures of the study that Chai bought, which contains green jade inkstone, golden wolf pen, Linfen rice paper and other things. It is a special product of Linfen, Chai's hometown, and it is often used as a tribute to the palace, and the value should be more than 100 times. ”

Chai Shao took the jade box in his hand and weighed it a few times, then said with a smile: "If you can make another poem that is not at the level of just now, Chai will give you this set of four treasures of the study...... Of course, if you can't do it, you'll have to kneel on the ground and kowtow to me three times, and you'll have to lose me the forty yuan you earned from selling poetry just now! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present was taken aback. Although Linfen rice paper is famous, the price is not very expensive. But the green jade inkstone and the golden wolf pen are extremely valuable, even if many Confucians in the world do not necessarily have them. Chai Shao was willing to take out this thing and bet with others?

Li Xiuning was also anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Chai Gongzi, aren't you planning to give this set of four treasures to my father?" How can you take it out and give it to this brother? Even if you really admire his talent, you can buy a more expensive set for him in this store......"

After Chai Shao heard this, he shook his head again and again, he didn't believe that the poem "Spring Dawn" just now was made by Yu Wenming himself. In his opinion, nine times out of ten, it should have been done by the owner of this little house, but he was only ordered to come to this shop to sell it.

What is hateful is that this little guy shamelessly claimed that he did it, so that Li Xiuning, who he liked, thought highly of him, which made him intolerable.

Therefore, he planned to use this set of precious four treasures of the study as bait to expose the true face of this poor little guy.

"What? Little brother, do you dare to make this bet? I'm going to let you fight 100 times with 40 strokes! Chai Shao said with a smile.

Li Xiuning and the shopkeeper actually didn't believe that the poem just now was made by Yu Wenming himself. After all, he is too young, no matter how you look at it, he is only twelve or thirteen years old. And if a reader wants to make a chapter of export, and write poems and lyrics casually, how can he succeed without more than ten years of effort?

Everyone's eyes fell on Yu Wenming at this time.

But he was silent, but smiled slightly: "Chai Gongzi, you really don't regret it?" ”

"Of course! A gentleman's word, Sima is difficult to chase! Chai Shao patted his chest and said.

He didn't believe he was going to lose at all.

"Good! Then ask the shopkeeper to help me sharpen the ink! Yu Wenming saw that the matter had come to this point, and he no longer shirked it.

The shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed the research platform and began to grind the ink, he also wanted to see if Yu Wenming really had such a great talent, or if he stole the master's verses to sell them for money.

And Li Xiuning stared at Yu Wenming with a pair of beautiful eyes, she also wanted to see what kind of poems this shabby little guy could write.

After a while, the ink was polished.

Yu Wenming picked up the brush and was about to swing it, but Chai Shao shook the folding fan again and said sharply: "Wait!" ”

"What? What else does Chai Gongzi have to advise? Yu Wenming asked with a raised brow.

"Hehe, I see that little brother, you look confident, you must have a lot of ink in your belly, or how about you take this scene as the theme and make a poem that suits the occasion?" Chai Shao said with a smile.

After Li Xiuning heard this, he frowned, obviously feeling that Chai Shao's request was a bit excessive. It is necessary to compose a poem with the theme of this scene, which is much more difficult than just now. Even if Yu Wenming had already thought about what kind of poem to compose before, if it couldn't coincide with the current scene, it couldn't be used.

Yu Wenming knew that it must be Chai Shao who saw that he looked confident, for fear that he would really make a good poem that was not as good as the previous "Spring Dawn", and made him speechless. So once again, I put a lot of restrictions on myself.

He pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "Didn't Chai Gongzi deliberately make things difficult?" Near this is the East Street, and it is not a scenic spot, how can you make any poems that meet the situation? ”

"Don't worry! I won't ask for anything else. If you can really make a poem that suits the occasion, I, Chai Shao, will give you the twenty yuan from the sale of Mobao just now! That's okay, right? Chai Shao took out the money bag that the shopkeeper gave him just now, shook it in front of Yu Wenming, and said with a smile.

Yu Wenming glanced at Li Xiuning, and saw that she was also looking at herself expectantly, her pretty face was extremely moving, and her heart couldn't help but wave.

After raising his head and glancing at the luxuriously decorated Shunfeng Restaurant opposite, which was about five stories high, he had an idea.

"Alright! Since Chai Gongzi is so upright in the bottom, how can he disappoint everyone in the next? Yu Wenming smiled slightly, then grabbed the brush and began to wave the book.

He took the lead in writing down the title of the poem, "Ascending Shunfeng Tower", and then continued to write the poem downward.

Yu Wenming wrote while whispering in a subdued tone: "The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to be poor, go to the next level. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Chai Shao, Li Xiuning and the shopkeeper all changed their faces, with their eyes, how could they not hear that the poetry and moral of this song "Ascending Shunfeng Building" are much stronger than "Spring Dawn" just now.

Chai Shao looked at the Shunfeng Building standing across the street, with people coming and going, and was even more speechless. The request he just made for the situation. Yu Wenming has done it.

"Good poetry! What a poem! The shopkeeper was the first to call out.

"It's a great job! is far better than the song "Spring Dawn" just now. Chai Shao couldn't help muttering. Although he is arrogant and looks down on Yu Wenming, it doesn't mean that he has no vision.

Yu Wenming also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, knowing that he had passed the test.

This poem "Ascending Shunfeng Tower" was originally "Ascending the Stork Tower" written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhilian. He retitled it. The eastern capital of Luoyang is located by the Yellow River, and is surrounded by mountains, and this five-story Shunfeng restaurant is here, which can be regarded as a suitable situation.

"This poem can really be called a swan song for the ages!" Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes also flashed with light.

"The first couplet uses a positive pair, the sentence structure is extremely neat, and the latter couplet uses a flowing water pair, although the two sentences are opposite, there is no trace of the battle. The skill of using combat is also very good...... At the same time, this poem also contains the philosophy of 'standing tall and seeing far', telling everyone that if you want to see farther, you must keep forging ahead, and only by looking far and working hard can you achieve your goals...... It's really the best poem Xiuning has seen in her life! She didn't hesitate to give Yu Wenming a lot of compliments.

"Chai Gongzi, shouldn't you fulfill your previous promise?" After Yu Wenming's heart was settled, Fang put down the brush and looked at Chai Shaodao with a pair of bright eyes.

Chai Shao was helpless, he couldn't be in front of Li Xiuning, in front of everyone, and he wouldn't admit it.

In desperation, he had to push the jade box in front of Yu Wenming along with the twenty yuan he had just gotten, and said quietly: "Boy! Cheap for you! ”

"Thank you for the generous gift!" Yu Wenming was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly grabbed the jade box and money bag, and made a gesture to Chai Shao and Li Xiuning: "Chai Gongzi, Miss Li, there will be a period later!" ”

With that, he slipped into the crowd of people in the street, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"This kid is gone?" Li Xiuning was also very disappointed when he saw him running so fast.

She originally wanted to ask Yu Wenming's name again and where he lived. Such a talented young man, although he looks very down, but according to his literary talent, it is not impossible to become a famous person in the world in the future.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Thinking of this, she patted her white jade palm twice.

"Miss, my subordinates are here!" Two black-clad guards walked in from outside the store, and then bowed to Li Xiuning.

"That little guy in the patched clothes ran out of here just now, you should have seen it, right?" Li Xiuning frowned.

"My subordinates have seen it! I wonder what the young lady commands? The two guards hurriedly asked.

"You two go and follow him, and see whose servant he is, and what his name is. But don't be alarmed, report back to me as soon as you have the results! Li Xiuning said.

"Obey Miss's orders!" After the two guards saluted, they quickly chased in the direction that Yu Wenming had left. They are all good at martial arts, especially good at tracking, and it is easy to track people like Yu Wenming who don't know martial arts.

Chai Shao saw that Li Xiuning was really interested in this tattered little guy, and he couldn't help but snort coldly. Immediately, he thought that the Qingyuyan, Golden Wolf Pen and other things that he originally planned to dedicate to Li Yuan also lost to this person. I'm afraid I'll have to buy another gift right away, which can be a huge headache.

"That's it! Let's go back! It is estimated that the two younger brothers of Xuanba and Yuanji should also arrive. Li Xiuning also moved lightly at this time, walked out of the Four Seas Book House, and then turned over and ran towards the street.

The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper walked respectfully to the door to say goodbye.

And Chai Shao and several accompanying guards also hurriedly turned over their horses and followed.

East Main Street was calm again, as always.
