After three rounds of wine, under Cao Yi's large amount of wine, everyone drank very happily, especially Diaosuo, as long as someone toasted, they drank it all, and after drinking, they had to go back again. Cao Yi looked dumbfounded, his heart was dark, Yusuo faced the toast of the juniors, and then toasted back after drinking, really not to drink a few more sips of wine? But then again, that's a lot!

If it is left in modern times, even if there is no other skill in fishing, you can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing by relying on this drinking skill alone, after all, there is already a business of Didi drinking.

Cao Yi wondered in his heart, wasn't it true that people in this era were only low-alcohol non-distilled spirits before? It stands to reason that the speed of adapting to strong wine will not be so fast, even if it is the amount of alcohol drunk after drinking for a long time, with the degree of green ant wine before, it should not be so fierce......

Cao Yi was secretly speechless, hoping that Diaosu would not bet with him on whose amount of alcohol was better, otherwise he would lose!

"It's almost the same time to eat and drink now, why don't we also emulate the elegance of the flowing water?" Lu Xiaofeng arranged his beard with both hands, and at the same time raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted!" Wang Honghua was the first to respond positively, and when he spoke, he poured a glass of wine into his mouth and drank it all.

Hearing this, Diao Suo glanced up, shook his head, and said with a wine burp: "I and Gong Chen, Gong Wen, the three old men will not mix, you young people come, after all, in the future, the literary world of Huaizuo, and even our literary world of Dayan, will depend on you young people." ”

Immediately, his face was full of smiles, and he said with a smile: "But I, Gong Chen, and Gong Wen can judge your poems as the elders of the literary world." ”

Chen Gong also stroked his beard and nodded: "That's true, if the three of us participate, it will be natural to win you, if you lose to you juniors, where will you let me and Wen Gong and Diaosu put their faces!" ”

Fei Haomiao let out a hearty laugh: "Hahaha, Chen Gong is really joking, even if we try our best to win, we can't win!" ”

"Yes, not to mention that Zu Laogui is a wordsmith of the Huaizuo generation, no one present dares to say that he can win Zu Lao's ......," Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Gong Wen glanced at Cao Yi, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It seems that you have forgotten someone, right?" You must know that the poems written by others are all masterpieces that can be sung for at least thousands of years...... Besides, poetry and essays are natural, and we are just a clever hand, and no one dares to guarantee that others will not be able to write a wonderful poem in a flash of inspiration......"

As soon as Gong Wen's words were finished, everyone showed a sudden look, why did they forget about this demon?

Fei Haomiao looked at his little junior brother with strange expressions, and he also had a faint sense of pride in his heart, his teacher really had a vicious eye, and it could be said that he had accepted a genius disciple who was difficult to come out of a hundred years. As he deliberately inquired, the lyrics that Cao Yi had written in Jiangning before began to be known to him, and he became more and more frightened by Cao Yi's talent.

In fact, just now he said that no one can compare to the three elders, although he did say so, but at the same time, there is also an idea in his heart that with the talent of his junior brother, it is difficult to say that he can really write a better poem, but at most he just thinks in his heart, it is disrespectful to really say it, and he will roast his junior brother on the fire.

"How? Cao Yi, do you want to join us? Lu Xiaofeng said at this time, quite with the mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking that it was a big deal.

Cao Yi hurriedly shook his hand and said humbly: "Here are all elders and seniors, the youngest of them, how dare they be embarrassed in front of you!" ”

Lu Xiaofeng's face stiffened when he heard this, and then he said with a smile: "Cao Yi, how do I feel that you have something to say, you don't remind me, I really forgot that you are only sixteen years old, and now when you remind you like this, I instantly feel that you are too demonic, we have been more vain than you in the past few years, but we have all lived in vain!" ”

Cao Yi hurriedly pushed it off, where did he have something to say, it was purely just telling the truth, he had already made up his mind, and he was resolutely not in the limelight today, especially before the end of the bet with the old man.

But others don't think so in their hearts, except for Lu Xiaofeng, others such as Wang Honghua, Shi Chengxuan, Duan Xinde and Gong Qizheng all showed strange expressions on their faces, they just felt that Cao Yi's talent was higher than their own, after all, everyone's talent and talent are different, naturally there are good and bad. But Cao Yi is only sixteen years old, and compared with Shi Chengxuan, the youngest of them, he is six years younger, and as for the others, there are even more, that is to say, everyone present has been compared with "children" in terms of poetry talent, which is really heartbreaking.

Diao Su looked at Cao Yi's repeated resignations, his originally cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, his eyes turned around, and a slight conspiratorial smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Everyone, I suddenly have a proposal, everyone listen to it, and see how this suggestion goes." ”

Cao Yi, Lu Xiaofeng and others, who were still talking to me, quieted down one after another, waiting for Diaosuo's advice.

"Elder Zu, what kind of suggestion is it, you might as well say it first, and then we'll see if we want to listen." Wang Honghua said with a smile, he is known as a madman, so some small problems of etiquette will not be pursued too much, because after seeing too much, he will be numb. Even Diaosu himself thinks that Wang Honghua is taking it for granted that he is asking now. If someone else asks and says this, it is estimated that the fishing will feel offended.

"That's the case, didn't the inferior apprentice lose the competition with Cao Yi before, this is not waiting for Cao Yi's restaurant to open, and I haven't won back the bet that my apprentice is going to welcome the guests, so my suggestion is, why don't you five young people also come to try a round this time? Whoever writes the best words wins! The remaining four people have to listen to the one who wins, how about it? Fisherman narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, Wang Honghua said loudly: "Ancestor, do you see that so many people present have lost to your disciple, so you want to have a few more people to accompany your apprentice to welcome you when the time comes?" ”

Diao Suo took a sip of wine, looked at Wang Honghua obliquely, and said excitedly: "Why, more than ten years ago, Wang Honghua, a madman who was also one of the four great talents in Yangzhou, would also be cowardly before fighting, and even dare not fight?" ”

Wang Honghua laughed, "Ancestor, don't provoke me, don't say that I'm the four great talents who are out of breath, you see that your apprentice is still in the prime of life or the current four talents, isn't it also a loss, I think my writing level is comparable to that of Brother Duan, at most, between the two brothers, even Brother Duan, who is recognized as the best in the younger generation in Yangzhou, has lost, so why should I be strong, although I am called a madman, and my style is usually wild, but it doesn't mean that I am stupid!" ”

Wang Honghua's words caused everyone present to burst into laughter, even Yu Youwei covered her mouth and smiled, one was an old naughty boy who deliberately set up a trick, and the other was wise and foolish, but it was very interesting to speak, which made people laugh out loud.

Even Cao Yi and Duan Xinde were all smiling at this time.

"What are you afraid of, Gong Wen said before, the article is natural, and the magic hand is even good, everyone has a time when they play well and when they don't play well, in case this time you play better, Cao Yifa will be bad, thousands of horses have the possibility of stumbling, no matter how strong the car is, it is possible to fall off the wheel and overturn, besides, they are all young people, they should be young and vigorous, don't be the same as our three old men, as for the vast Miao, how to say it is also a dignified state, or it is better to stabilize the focus, so I will not participate...... But a few of you are different, don't worry, I will let Hind try again, Hind, do you have confidence? With a wave of his hand, he persuaded him earnestly, and then turned his head to Duan Xinde beside him and asked a question.

"Ah...... Not...... There is no ......" Duan Xinde hesitated for a moment, but still decided to answer truthfully.

"......" Diao Su looked at his uncompetitive disciple speechlessly, and gradually his eyebrows began to tremble, and he said in an aggravated tone: "Xinde, for the teacher to give you another chance, you think about it carefully, answer again, do you have confidence?" ”

Duan Xinde looked at his teacher's face and said bitterly, "Yes! For the sake of teachers, there must be too! ”

"Excellent! Worthy of being my good apprentice! Diao Suo nodded with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at Gong Wen and Gong Chen, "Two, why don't you let your disciples compare with each other, after all, it's not good to be too smooth......"

Gong Wen glanced at Shi Chengxuan, with an inquiring look, the latter thought for a while and nodded, while Gong Chen didn't look at Gong Qizheng at all, after all, this disciple has always listened to him, and he will do whatever he arranges him to do, and work hard to do it well. But in other words, it is rare to have your own opinions, which is an advantage, but also a disadvantage. Chen Gong just pondered for a while, and then said, "I don't have any opinions, so let them compare with each other." ”

Gong Wen then also spoke: "I think so too, it's rare that you and I are all three of you, and the four great talents of Yangzhou of the two generations before and after are all present, just to have a try, and it is also a great event in our Yangzhou literary circle!" ”

Cao Yi felt that he was like a duck that was driven to the shelves, or rather, his current self was a whetstone, and Duan Xinde and them were the knives to be sharpened. "That...... Three elders, boy, I'm not from Yangzhou...... You don't have to participate, right? ”

"You are Hao Miao's junior brother, Hao Miao is the governor of Yangzhou, do you want to participate?" Fishing Suo said with a smile on his face at this time,

Cao Yi looked at Diaosu with a speechless expression, and instantly overturned his previous perception that he was very good at talking, this old man was really too much.

"Haha, Cao Yi boy, don't slander me in your heart, I'm doing this for your good, think about it, if you write well and win a few of them, don't you have one, two, three, four, five, five talents to open your restaurant to welcome you, think about it, how much momentum can this cause at that time!"

Cao Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he unconsciously said, "Really? As soon as the words came out, Cao Yi's face darkened, and he looked at Diaosu with a depressed face, he was very cautious, but he didn't expect to be overshadowed by him at the last moment.

It can be seen from the expressions of Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Honghua, Shi Chengxuan and others now that these people were all affected by Cao Yi's "Really?" just now. The questioning provoked a fight.

After all, Cao Yi's question just now contained a surprise tone, but he asked in the assumption that he won everyone, so it shows that Cao Yi is confident that he can win everyone......
