Volume 3 Spring and Autumn Chapter 335 Chu Mingxuan's Provocation
Since Chu Mingxuan has already said it by name, then Cao Yi will not be soft, he said lightly: "Chu Mingxuan, you and your teacher are not capable of facing each other, it doesn't mean that the four pairs I made are absolute dead pairs, and it doesn't mean that no one can match it." ”
"Hmph, then Cao Yi, you should say the next link, I don't believe that you can say the upper link out of these four uplinks." Chu Mingxuan said with a distorted face, since he had already torn his face with Cao Yi, there was no need to hide it, and he said some resentful words directly.
"I won't say the next couplet, after all, I will use it when my hotel Zuixianlou opens, no matter which one of those couplets, as long as there is someone who is the first to make the next couplet, my Zuixianlou will give him all the food and drink expenses for a month, and give him two thousand taels of silver! Do you think I'll tell you the answer right now? Cao Yi looked at Chu Mingxuan and said calmly.
"You are playing a good wishful thinking, four Shanglian that no one has come out at all, but you use it to deceive the people of Yangzhou, say that you will have money to take it, do you think the people of Yangzhou are so stupid, they will not see your tricks? Anyway, no one came out right, why don't you say who is right to give someone a million taels of silver, then the effect will be even more sensational, to ensure that the whole Yangzhou knows about the new restaurant you opened, it's hard to say that the whole Jiangnan will know about it! Chu Mingxuan laughed loudly, and even commented on it in a weird way.
"The people of Yangzhou are definitely not stupid, but now I think you are really stupid, and keep saying that the four Shanglian I came out before are absolute, dead right, and no one is right, who told you? You can ask the other talents present and ask them if they have any links? In the face of Chu Mingxuan's roar, Cao Yi remained silent, still light and light, compared with the two, who is personable and who is angry, it is clear at a glance.
Although Chu Mingxuan was so angry by what Cao Yi said that he was about to get angry, he still maintained the only bit of intelligence, and turned his head to look at Shi Chengxuan and Duan Xinde and others, especially Duan Xinde, because the two of them had similar personalities before, they were also like-minded people, and they usually had a good relationship, so as soon as Cao Yi said this, he naturally asked the two of them to ask.
It's just that Chu Mingxuan was disappointed and even sluggish, not only Duan Xinde and Shi Chengxuan, but even Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Honghua and Gong Qizheng all nodded to him, indicating that the four upper links were indeed matched out of the lower links.
"That'...... What do those four downlinks look like? Chu Mingxuan said in despair, even his teacher had told him that these four Shanglian were absolute, dead right. So he always felt that he didn't lose to Cao Yi, Cao Yi just used unfair means to win him, if the two fought fairly, he might not lose to Cao Yi. That's why he laughed at Cao Yi so excitedly before, ridiculing Cao Yi for cheating.
Even when others discussed Cao Yi before, there was that disdainful expression on his face, because he was not convinced, and even looked down on Cao Yi a little in his heart. It's just that now, all the talented people have told him that Cao Yi's four upper links are indeed the lower ones, which is contrary to the concept he has always believed and adhered to in his heart.
At this moment, his self-confidence and belief had collapsed, and he fell into the shadow that he couldn't get out of the previous uplink, so he couldn't wait to ask what the downlink was like.
Duan Xinde looked at him embarrassedly, shook his head and said: "Brother Chu, our people here have promised Cao Gongzi, and they will never reveal the next link, after all, this is about a bonus of two thousand taels of silver and a reward for free eating and drinking for one month, and the gentleman is difficult to chase after him, since we promised Cao Gongzi not to spread it, then we will never leak it out, and I hope Brother Chu will forgive me." ”
The six Oirans began to whisper, although they had long known that Cao Yi, the first talent in Jiangning, singled out Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan, one of the four great talents in Yangzhou, and defeated the two of them, but it was just that everyone was spreading the news, and most people were not clear about the details. Others huddled together and whispered discussions.
Each of the six Oiran is a person with both talent and appearance, and naturally has a good level of appreciation for poetry and pairs, and now that he knows Cao Yi's previous Shanglian, in addition to looking at Cao Yi with admiration and admiring his talent. Everyone else also looked at Chu Mingxuan with pitiful eyes, after all, they all realized that the previous competition was not that Chu Mingxuan was not talented enough, it was really Cao Yi who was too demonic, although the four pairs that came out, although they were not dead pairs, but at least they should be said to be peerless, maybe in a few hundred years, no one might be able to come out.
Chu Mingxuan is indeed very pitiful, the pitiful thing is that everyone can't match the pair, he happened to bump into it, and what is even more pitiful is that these four pairs were matched by the questioner Cao Yi, but this can only show that Cao Yi is indeed amazing, in such a comparison, Chu Mingxuan has indeed become a tragic character who is both sad and pitiful, not that he is not strong enough, but that his opponent is too sharp, causing him to look crushed.
Human beings are actually born with compassion for the disadvantaged, and women are even more so, so the six Oirans present will look at Chu Mingxuan with pitiful eyes, which also makes Chu Mingxuan's heart even more anxious and violent, he is one of the four great talents in Yangzhou, and he is outstanding and suave, usually only he laughs at others and sympathizes with others, why has he become the weak person who is sympathized with and pitied? As soon as he thought of this, his heart became even more restless!
"Cao Yi, since your four pairs have testified that you have all been right, then I am willing to bow down, but now I challenge you again, let's compare the lyrics, do you dare to fight!" Chu Mingxuan was in a hurry, so he stood up, pointed at Cao Yi and said.
Chu Mingxuan's actions surprised everyone present, the four talents of Yangzhou's generation, in terms of lyric ability, if they all play steadily, Duan Xinde is the most powerful, but in the previous lyric competition, even Duan Xinde lost to Cao Yi without any suspense, so the possibility of Chu Mingxuan defeating Cao Yi this time can actually be said to be very small, and everyone doesn't know why Chu Mingxuan so confidently proposed to compete with Cao Yi to compose lyrics.
Could it be that since he lost to Cao Yi last time, he has learned from the pain, and he has been working hard all this time, and his talent and knowledge have improved again? It shouldn't have such a quick effect, at this stage of theirs, in addition to talent and their own slow time accumulation, only by a flash of inspiration can they improve their poetry level, but this flash of inspiration is the most unreliable, sometimes not there, so this time Chu Mingxuan proposed to compete with Cao Yi lyrics, and they were very curious, what kind of confidence made him dare to propose this kind of competition.
However, as long as Chu Mingxuan himself doesn't say this, no one will definitely know, because his teacher gave him a poem before, that is, after he lost to Cao Yi to the pair, saying that the next time he meets Cao Yi, he will try to compose lyrics with him and find a way back. This is actually equivalent to bullying the small, with the age and life accumulation of Chu Mingxuan's teacher Wei Mu, the words he wrote are naturally very weighty, quite a bit of a back-to-basics feeling, in Wei Mu's cognition, his words are naturally compared with the juniors, but what Wei Mu didn't expect was that his disciple Chu Mingxuan, the object of the fight this time, Cao Yi, was himself a person who could not be measured by common sense and carried a plug-in with him.
One is just a veteran of the literary world who is a little talented, and the other is a person who carries countless Tang and Song poems and songs, what themes and styles do you need, and you can pick out a suitable one from the thesaurus in your head, and basically every poem that can be remembered in Cao Yi's head is a famous or very good poem in the history of literature, otherwise Cao Yi would not have bothered to remember.
Therefore, even if Chu Mingxuan's master and apprentice thought about using this method to defeat Cao Yi, from the very beginning, this idea was unreliable, because they felt that no matter how smart Cao Yi was, no matter how amazing and brilliant he was, he still belonged to the category of normal people, and no matter how strong he was, he was the same as everyone else in this world. But the fact is that Cao Yi happens to be not from this world, so their cognition naturally does not conform to Cao Yi.
However, Cao Yi is obviously not interested in facing Chu Mingxuan's challenge, he has no color, and he has no benefit to himself, and now he proves that his pair has a lower link, and he can slap Chu Mingxuan in the face. After all, the inventory in my head, with one less article, if you can, you don't need it, and you don't need it, and it's better to put good poems in the back and really use them.
Cao Yi shook his head and said calmly: "I'm not interested!" ”
Chu Mingxuan's face turned crooked when he heard this, and he stretched out his fingers and pointed at Cao Yi tremblingly: "You...... You...... You! "You haven't said the following words for a long time, obviously you're so angry that you lose your temper.
Cao Yi's demeanor and tone of saying "not interested" just now, as if Chu Mingxuan was like an unknown junior, casually refused, and even his tone did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations, as if a small insect flew in front of him and was driven away by him with a wave of his hand, and he didn't care at all.
And this is indeed the case, the main purpose of Cao Yi's gathering today is to meet with the six Oiran and discuss the endorsement of flower language soap, and other things are not important to Cao Yi. If Cao Yi knew Chu Mingxuan's inner thoughts, he would definitely add: "Yes, you don't have to doubt it, that's the case." ”
