Volume 3 Spring and Autumn Chapter 316 The Three Elders Came up with the question

We also agreed to try the four talents of the two generations before and after Jiangning and the first talent of Jiangning! Wang Honghua said with great momentum. If we lose, we will all give your restaurant to open as a welcome, if Brother Cao, you lose, you only need to give each of us ten jars of Qinglian wine, you see if it is feasible! ”

Ten altars of Qinglian wine, that is, two hundred taels of silver, with their four great talents, if they go to welcome the opening of the restaurant, it is a loss of reputation, Wang Honghua said this, which is equivalent to betting on items worth two hundred taels of silver with their reputation, so to speak, but Cao Yi is more profitable. After all, in this era, literati take their reputation very seriously.

Cao Yi showed a wry smile on his face, but then he adjusted his mood and prepared to start the competition behind, since everyone is ready to compete now, then simply win, when the Zuixianlou opens, these few people will go into battle together to welcome guests, and it can also cause a sensation in Yangzhou, at least Zuixianlou can suddenly become popular.

And Diao Suo is face smiled at this time, before his disciple was won by Cao Yi, to be a welcome when the other party's restaurant opened, it did make him feel shameless, but then he learned what happened, it was his disciple who was arrogant and rude first, then Cao Yi had already endured it three times before he broke out to bet, and it was still an upright competition, in this case, Duan Xinde lost, it can be said that there is no excuse and reason to blame Cao Yi, it can only be said that he is not as good as people.

And he also received a letter from his old friend Lu Meng and Lu Gong, saying that Cao Yi was his closed disciple and asked him to "discipline" on his behalf, saying that his apprentice was tired by nature, keen on hiding clumsy, did not like to fight with others, and was not too showy, only liked to make a fortune in a muffled voice, had a strange personality, and did not see rabbits or eagles. Although he seemed to be talking about his disciple's various wrongs, it could still be seen that Lu Gong was still very satisfied with Cao Yi's disciple, and he was showing off to himself.

But Diaosuo has no choice, among his disciples, Duan Xinde is already the most powerful, but he still lost to Cao Yi in terms of the strongest lyrics, and this time according to Diaosuo's judgment, Duan Xinde unless he is a clever hand and occasionally has a wonderful word, otherwise if everyone plays according to their normal strength, there is a high probability that Cao Yi will win.

Knowing that his disciples would lose, he also proposed to let young people participate together, the starting point of fishing is actually good, on the one hand, what he told Cao Yi is the truth, it is indeed good for Cao Yi, if only Duan Xinde welcomes the guests alone, then as his teacher, he will indeed be discussed and feel ashamed.

But if the four talents go into battle together to welcome the guests, then it may be a good story, everyone will only discuss how the owner of the restaurant is so well-connected, strong, people are like this, a talented man welcomes guests, everyone will only point fingers, criticize and ridicule, if the four talents of the two generations before and after the same time welcome together, then it will definitely not be ridiculed, but praise the strength and strength of the restaurant and super connections, which is a typical quantitative change caused by qualitative change.

On the other hand, Diaosu really wants to treat this matter as a literary event in Yangzhou, to see if there will be a few words that can make people applaud, not to mention the millennium, in the Jianghuai region for decades, a hundred years is enough. He still hopes that under the stimulation of Cao Yi, the youngest genius, the talents on the Yangzhou side can be strong when they are strong, and they can play better under pressure.

Others, such as Chen Gong and Wen Gong, also thought so, so when Diao Suo made a suggestion, he instantly reflected the latter's actual intentions, and then considered the degree of damage to his disciple, so he agreed.

A person's character may be modest and polite, but his words will not, the three of them are also regarded as Taishan Beidou characters in Yangzhou's literary circle, with a unique natural vision, for the words passed by Cao Yi, it is extremely easy to recognize that these words are extraordinary people's handwriting, which can be called the talent of immortals. So in their minds, they all take it for granted that this competition is definitely Cao Yi's win, unless he deliberately hides it or is perfunctory, otherwise even Lu Xiaofeng and Wang Honghua, the four great talents of Yangzhou in the previous generation, after experiencing experience and precipitation in the past few years, are still chanting poetry and lyrics, which is not comparable to Cao Yi.

There has never been fairness among all living beings, and some people are born with things that others may not be able to have by working hard in the later stages. Just like in the field of poetry talent, some talents are innate, and no matter how hard others try, they can only try to shrink as much as possible, but they can't catch up.

Judging from the combination of the letters written by Lu Gong and some hearsay news, Cao Yi is definitely this kind of person, his poetic talent has reached a point that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, it seems that as long as he wants to write, there is nothing that he can't write, and the word "bitter chanting" has never appeared in him.

Even in the letter written by Lu Gong, it was mentioned that Cao Yi was in his mansion, a cup of tea, and chanted three words of very high quality, namely "will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, shoot the wolf", "Thousands of rivers and mountains, heroes are not found, Sun Zhong seeks to deal with" and "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" Three songs, before Lu Gong wrote a letter to tell Diaosuo, in fact, these three words have been passed on from Jiangning to Yangzhou through oral tradition by others, causing a great sensation, at least now most of the Qinglou red cards in Yangzhou are singing these three words, It's just that these three lyrics are heroic and abnormal, and so far, none of these famous actors can sing well.

Wu Yue's soft language itself is not very suitable for this kind of "Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger" tiger and wolf words, plus the current silk and bamboo orchestra, the glamorous sound is not very matched. However, it is said that the flower of the building is full of flowers, and it seems that when performing these lyrics and songs, he used an iron plate and a copper pipa, but he sang the heroic and sonorous "Go to the East of the Great River", but he is old, and it is not suitable to go to the Qinglou again, so I haven't heard it, and I don't know if it's true or not.

Diaosu itself is very good at writing words, and the skill is quite profound, so it will be respected as the Huaizuo generation of wordsman, naturally know the power of these three words, he thinks that in his life, zero zero has always written more than a thousand words, but none of them can compare to these three, not to mention Cao Yi's demon and "when is the bright moon" and "one night of fish and dragon dance" two words, no matter which one, can be said to be a wonderful word that has been passed down through the ages.

It seems that he has passed the stage of knowing the destiny of heaven and reached the age of ear shun, and sometimes he still has a deep sense of frustration, and he has written words for more than forty years, but he is still not as good as such a sixteen-year-old kid who writes words for two or three years at most......

What's even more heart-wrenching is that it is said that this kid has been a gentleman until he was thirteen years old, and then after he got a serious illness, he suddenly opened his mind and locked himself in the study for more than a year, reading the subset of scriptures and history, which is why he has his current talent.

If it weren't for the fact that Cao Yi had never been out of Jiangning before coming to Yangzhou this time, they would really wonder if it was a different person, because they only relied on a year of reading, even if they forgot to read and eat, they would not be able to see such a talent.

Since it's not a different person...... But the difference between before and after an illness is so big, is it really as rumored that Li Taibai is reincarnated or immortal is not successful?

Yusuo thought of this and looked at Cao Yi from beginning to end, and the latter was flustered.

"This old man, won't he have Longyangzhi?" Cao Yi shuddered unconsciously, and his body shrank back, mainly in this era, the more scholars are scholars, the richer they are, the more virtuous and respectable people are, and they more or less have a habit of prostitution, and they will raise good-looking children by their side for their own amusement. Although he is sixteen years old, he is still very handsome, and if he is in the next life, it is also a proper little fresh meat, and it is difficult to guarantee that no old man will take a fancy to him.

Yusuo saw that Cao Yi noticed him, and showed a friendly smile at Cao Yi, wanting to express his kindness, obviously not guessing Cao Yi's inner thoughts, otherwise it would not be a smile to welcome people, but a mouthful of spit.

But the smile that suddenly appeared at this time made Cao Yi feel a little panicked when he fell into Cao Yi's eyes.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinions, then let's start the writing competition, in order to prevent someone from taking out the previous script, so today's writing will be written by me and Wen Gong, Diaosu and the three of them on the spot, everyone according to the question to compose the lyrics, do you have any opinions?" Chen Gong looked around at everyone and said with a smile.
