Chapter 132: The Book Club, the Poetry Contest Turmoil
The riding and archery of the six arts of the gentleman are all carried out in this martial arts field, and it is no surprise that Shangguan Xi, Shangguan Shaoyang and Shangguan Ting are the most outstanding.
For a while, the selected ministers were a little embarrassed.
In the end, it was agreed that the three would tie for first place.
Wang Xuannian looked at the three people on the field, compared to him, he was far behind.
I can't help but admire them, because their cavalry and archery are indeed outstanding, like generals on the battlefield, with iron bones.
At the same time, he also understands that she and them are people of the same world, and he is just lucky to be chosen by Zhong Tinghao, otherwise, they will never see each other in their lives.
Just as Wang Xuannian was immersed in his thoughts, a small servant came to him, and after saluting, he said, "Master Junma, Liu Shanchang of Guozijian invites you to participate in the poetry competition." ”
Hearing this, he gathered his thoughts, looked at the little guy in surprise, and wanted to speak, Shangguan Yao beside him said loudly: "Xuan Nian, you have signed up for the poetry competition, you can!" ”
Looking at Shangguan Yao, he explained: "Ah Yao, I'm afraid this Liu Shanchang is mistaken, I didn't sign up." ”
He originally wanted to participate, because of the first name, as Zhong Xuanlan said, no one will be able to underestimate him again.
But he also has self-knowledge, although the people here are not all talented people, but there are also students who have studied hard for more than ten years, so they gave up.
Who helped him to name him?
Shangguan Yao understood what was going on, and this person was calculated again. "Let's go over and have a look." ”
Wang Xuannian nodded.
The two of them left the martial arts field and went to the third floor of Fang Cui Pavilion.
At this time, in the third floor, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, the fragrance of plum is fragrant, the green bamboo is swaying, the calligraphy and painting are hanging, and the arrangement is very elegant.
The people here are well-behaved and elegant.
There is less spaciousness of the martial arts field here, and more elegance.
But that's just a glamour to cover it up.
At this time, on the test table, there were five sons painting. Only a quarter of the incense stick was placed on a table in front of the stage, and everyone in the audience was silently watching.
As soon as Wang Xuannian and Shangguan Yao walked in, they attracted everyone's attention.
Liu Shanchang, who was sitting in the front row and ranked third from the door, took the lead and said: "The county horse is here, please wait a while, the poetry competition will start immediately." ”
He didn't give Wang Xuannian a chance to refuse at all, and continued: "Those participating students are all in the side hall, do you want to meet them?" ”
Wang Xuannian's eyes stared at Liu Shanchang tightly, but after a while, he evoked a sneer and said, "Okay! ”
Shangguan Yao wanted to ask Liu Shanchang if it was his name for Wang Xuan's annual report, but he agreed.
As a friend, you have to be embarrassed, and you have to lose it together.
said to Liu Shanchang: "Liu Shanchang, I don't know if I can sign up now, my son also wants to participate." ”
Liu Shanchang wanted to refuse, but a person next to him said: "Yes, please come to the old man to sign up." ”
After Shangguan Yao signed up, the two went to the side hall.
At this time, Wang Xuannian knew that all the contestants were here.
Everyone gathered in twos and threes and whispered discussions, but only one stayed alone.
Wang Xuannian found this person as soon as he entered the door, and he didn't plan to walk over, but there was only a vacant seat there.
He could stand in the door and wait for the game to come.
But he couldn't let Shangguan Yao do the same.
Then he walked over with Shangguan Yao.
"Long time no see, no, it should be the first time we met, Prince Wang."
Wang Xuannian said with a smile: "But Gongzi An, this county master often hears Xuanli talk about it, and he looks up to it for a long time. ”
Shangguan Yao said with a look of surprise: "You know each other! Xuan Nian, he won't be An Zichen! ”
Wang Xuannian nodded.
An Zichen said: "Second son." ”
Shangguan Yao glanced at An Zichen, he looked very handsome, if he wasn't a man, he would probably be tempted, no wonder the matter between him and the county lord of Xinlan would be rumored!
said with a smile: "Gongzi An, which competition are you going to participate in?" ”
An Zichen said: "Piano competition." ”
At this time, Wang Xuannian felt a gaze full of scrutiny and looked towards this line of sight.
I saw that the man was wearing a lilac robe embroidered with Mo Lan, and his delicate facial features, especially those eyes, made him feel familiar.
Inadvertently, his hand was about to touch his eyes, but someone tapped him on the shoulder.
In an instant, he came back to his senses, put his hand down stiffly, and thought to himself, "Who is this person?" ”
"What's wrong with you, Xuan Nian?"
Wang Xuannian turned his head to look at Shangguan Yao, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, I just found that everyone was discussing the event, so I'll listen to it." ”
An Zichen smiled softly and said: "Wang Gongzi, the person just now is called Ye Zi'an, he is back after all, I wonder if you can win him?" ”
Wang Xuannian's heart was shocked, what do you mean by this?
Raising his eyes to look at An Zichen, he saw An Zichen reach out and touch his eyes, just this action made his soul tremble, happiness had just come, and he would never allow anyone to take it away.
looked around, and saw that Wang Xiao didn't follow up, and was extremely glad in his heart, but how long could this be hidden?
There was some bitterness in his heart, he must come up with a way during this period, Zhong Xuanlan can only belong to him forever.
"The poetry competition is now open, and a total of 50 people participated in this competition.
The first round of five words, with the last word to match, can be done by yourself, or the poems of the ancients, five times, each time ten people participate, ten into five, and the last twenty-five people for the next round.
In the second round, there are many rounds of lots, and what is drawn must have it in its verses, regardless of rhyme, twenty-five into fifteen.
In the third round, the opponent is freely selected, and the proposition is mutually proposed.
It is important to note that the verses are not repeatable. ”
Wang Xuannian came back to his senses, but what the referee who announced the content of the competition on the stage said, he didn't listen to a word, and his eyes couldn't help but pay attention to Ye Zi'an's every move.
I don't know how long it took, but under Shangguan Yao's reminder, I knew that it was time for him to take the stage.
He got up and walked to the stage, but saw Ye Zi'an walking up to the stage from the other side and smiled at him.
He didn't think it was kind, he felt it was hostile and provocative.
He also smiled back, no matter what, he would not lose to him in momentum.
The referee said: "The competition begins, Ye Gongzi, please go first." ”
After Ye Zi'an bowed to everyone, he said: "I heard that the plum blossoms are early, why is it so spring." Yao's second son, please. ("Visiting Yuan" Meng Haoran)
Shangguan Yao said: "I don't know about spring sleep, and I smell birds everywhere." Lu Gongzi, please. ("Spring Dawn" Meng Haoran)
“……”
"Beauty falls from the sky, and the dragon begins to spring. Prince Wang, please. ("Princess Guan Yongle Enters the Domain" Li Bai)
Wang Xuannian said: "The spring breeze is uncertain, blowing towards the jade steps." Ye Gongzi please. ("Zuoye Pear Flower" Qiu Wei)
Ye Zi'an said: "The birds are not endless, and the mountains are full of autumn colors." Yao's second son, please. ("Rim Chuan Collection, Huazigang" Wang Wei)
“……”
The competition is carried out round by round, time flies, an hour later is the final decisive game, and now there are only five people left on the stage, three of whom are the favorites of this year's big competition, and the remaining two are Ye Zi'an and Wang Xuannian.
Wang Xuannian felt very nervous and tired at this time, and it was obvious that his talent was not enough.
Seeing that the other four people were still coping with it, he sighed slightly, no matter what happened next, he would not admit defeat easily.
Ye Zi'an just finished answering, and then said: "Xuemei, the seven-word quatrain is the title, Wang Gongzi, please answer." ”
Wang Xuannian said: "There is plum without snow and no spirit, and there is snow without plum vulgarity." The sunset poem is full of snow and snow, and the plum is very spring. Yongzhu, the five-word quatrain is the title, please answer Ye Gongzi. ("Snow Plum" Lu Meipo)
"The frost is dry and cold like jade, and the wind branches sound like a harp. Xiaoxiang rained overnight, dripping broken guest center. Begonia, the title of the seven-word rhythm poem, please answer Wang Gongzi. ("Yongzhu" Hanshan Deqing)
“……”
After returning again and again, the competition became a contest between Wang Xuannian and Ye Zi'an, and there was nothing else to do at all.
The other three can only wait and see, and then wait and see.
Seeing this, the referee said loudly: "Three sons, you play each other's questions, one is out, and how does it compare with the winner on the other side?" ”
The three of them looked at each other and agreed.
In the end, Wang Xuannian was defeated, and Ye Zi'an won the first place.
However, Wang Xuannian didn't think too much, because he knew what his strength was.
Although Shi Sai was defeated by him, he would never let go of Zhong Xuanlan.
No matter what they were before, her present and future can only be guarded by him!
