In the praise of everyone, Shi Chengxuan humbly said a few words, and then sighed: "If you say that the younger generation is the best writer, there is Brother Duan, who is also one of the four talents, and Cao Zhaozheng, who is far away from Jiangning's 'One Night Fish and Dragon Dance' and 'Ask the Wine to the Sky', I am ashamed of myself and willing to bow down." ”

With a sound of "brush", Duan Xinde's folding fan was opened by him again, revealing the words "Cai Gao Badou" inside, slapped himself twice, and said: "Where and where, my lyrics can only be said to be equal compared with Brother Chengxuan, occasionally Brother Chengxuan is better at chess, and sometimes I am slightly better, but in general, everyone's level is about the same." ”

"Hiss" Duan Xinde sighed, took a breath of cold air, and said softly: "But that Jiangning's No. 1 genius Cao Zhaozheng is said to be just a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and it is rumored that he just spent a lot of money to buy a few good songs, and specially used them in exchange for fame......"

Min Yue first glanced up at Cao Yi, and saw that the latter did not react, and then asked in a low voice: "Duan Gongzi, as a gentleman with both talent and virtue and four great talents, you can't talk nonsense about things without basis, where are you from...... Where do you hear these ...... of these rumors. ”

Duan Xinde first glanced at Shi Chengxuan strangely, he didn't know why Shi Chengxuan coughed so many times when he spoke just now, but at a glance, he knew that it was not the kind of real cough, but it was to interrupt his speech. Duan Xinde didn't figure out why Shi Chengxuan interrupted his words for a while, but Min Yue asked again, and it was not good to ignore it, so he turned his head and replied.

"Minyue, this is not a rumor from me, but someone from their Jiangning side, saying that Jiangning's side has already seen through and exposed the deception of Jiangning's first talent...... Well, it's the son of the richest man in Jiangning, Shen what's coming, oh, by the way, it's called Shen Teng, he came with his eldest brother to see my teacher last time, that's what he said at the time......"

"Oh? What did he say at the time? Cao Yi, who had been listening silently and without any reaction before, suddenly asked at this time, just because he suddenly heard the name Shen Yan, thinking that he was really wronged, he actually spread rumors that he had come to Yangzhou.

"Just after the Chinese New Year, it should have been last month, his brother Shen Xing brought him to visit my teacher, they should have gone north to the capital to study in Guozijian, and then it seems that Shen Xing is still a protégé of Guozijian Wine Chen Gong, and he came to say hello to my teacher for Chen Gong." Duan Xinde said this, as if he was very proud that his teacher could be greeted by the disciples of the Guozi Priest Wine Sect, and he opened the fan that had been closed before, slapped it twice, and continued.

"You know that my teacher is known as a generation of lyricists, and he is very interested in 'when is the bright moon' and 'one night'

Naturally, the two brothers came over from Jiang Ning, so my teacher asked at the time, and then the two brothers of the Shen family replied like this. ”

Duan Xinde looked at everyone and replied, suddenly his eyes fell on Cao Yi, and he raised his voice and asked, "Little brother Cao An, didn't you happen to be from Jiang Ning?" You should know that Cao Yi, right? Is he really Jiangning's first genius or a person who sells his reputation? ”

Shi Chengxuan touched his forehead with one hand and lowered his head at this time, without looking at Duan Xinde, and Min Yue was almost the same action, raising his head to look at the clouds in the sky, and not looking at Duan Xinde, mainly because the two of them were afraid that they would laugh out loud and forcibly hold back.

"Hehe, the Cao Yi you are talking about happens to be my master, and I am the third-class companion of Jiangning Caofu, Cao An, let me introduce myself again!" Cao Yi said with a grin.

"What!?" Duan Xinde stood up suddenly, and even Chu Mingxuan, who had been pondering on the sidelines, raised his head and glanced at Cao Yi, this news was really amazing.

Duan Xinde never thought that the little scholar in front of him turned out to be the companion of Cao Yi, the number one genius in Jiangning, and even Chu Mingxuan was shocked when he heard it. They hadn't realized how talented Cao Yi was before, but since they knew that Cao An was Cao Yi's companion reading boy, Cao An also added the words "small" and "third-class" in front of him. They can feel how talented Cao Yi is, which can be seen from Cao An being just a scholar.

Yangzhou side for Jiangning's first genius Cao Yi's "Water Tune Song Head" and "Qingyu Case", although they were deeply shocked at the first time, the entire Yangzhou City was discussing Cao Yi's words at that time, but after all, they were foreign, and they had not been precipitated and sublimated for a long time, and Cao Yi himself had not appeared in front of them.

So Yangzhou just thinks that "Water Tune Song Head" and "Qingyu Case" are very good, and the whole text is brilliant, enough to be recited through the ages, but Cao Yi is talented but does not have too much deep understanding, just like some modern stars, his songs are very popular and popular, everyone can sing them, but for the singer himself, it is not so popular, that is, the commonly known song celebrity is not popular.

Therefore, Cao Yi, the first genius in Jiangning, is in Yangzhou, which belongs to such a situation, and it cannot reach the point where everyone can admire the mountains as soon as he signs up. Later, a few of Cao Yi's lyrics were only sung in the Qinglou, or only occasionally mentioned by a few people in private, far less than the height and reputation of Yangzhou's four talents who have been operating in Yangzhou for many years.

But this is the truth, a person is far away in Jiangning, ethereal, and the other is there

Yangzhou city often appears in front of you. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and that's the principle.

"That Shen Yan has a grudge against my son-in-law, and when he was in Jiangning, he slandered and arranged my son-in-law everywhere, and later even his brother Shen Xing came out, and the two brothers joined forces to fight against my son-in-law, and these two brothers were hit by my son-in-law and ran to the capital in the first month, but I didn't expect that my son-in-law was still spreading rumors on the way!." Cao Yi said lightly.

As soon as Cao Yi finished saying this, everyone at the scene looked at him, Min Yue couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she knew that Cao An was Cao Yi, but she didn't know why Cao Gongzi pretended to be Cao An and said that he was just a third-class companion reading little scholar, if even the little scholar had such a high talent, then how should the master behind it, Cao Yi, the first genius in Jiangning, be amazing. Min Yue is now looking forward to the next competition between Cao Yi and Duan Xinde.

If Cao Yi wins, then for the four great talents of Yangzhou, it is such a third-class companion who comes from Jiangning can win two of the four great talents of Jiangning in a row, and they are defeated by their strongest means in the field they are best at...... I don't know if Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan's mentality is good, thinking of this, Min Yue's face was full of expectation, and she was looking forward to the early arrival of the word competition.

And the remaining four talents are in a trance looking at "Cao An", "Cao An" The name is compared to Cao Yi Cao Fu, as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was taken later, and the master would give whatever name he wanted, but the name may be wrong, and the title of "third-class companion reading little scholar" will not be wrong.

Since there is a third class, then there must be a second class and a first class at the top, and then there is Cao Yi himself, judging from the talent of the third-class scholar now, the second class and the first class include Cao Yi...... What a genius it must be!

Chu Mingxuan, who was originally thinking hard next to him and couldn't think of the next link, was so anxious that he was about to attack his heart, and at this time there was only one thought left in his mind: "I am a dignified Yangzhou four talents, and I can't compare to a third-class little scholar...... The four talents are not as good as the third-class scholars...... I'm not as good as a little bookmaker. After a while, Chu Mingxuan staggered a step, and the whole person leaned on the desk, making a loud bang, startling everyone in the courtyard.

Duan Xinde hurriedly stepped forward to support Chu Mingxuan and asked, "Brother Chu, are you okay?" ”

Chu Mingxuan shook his head with a pale face, signaling that it was okay, just now he was really angry in his heart, he didn't catch his breath, he was stuffed in his chest, and his eyes were dark and he almost fainted.

Cao Yi looked at Chu Mingxuan with a look of surprise, and sighed in his heart: "What is he...... The mentality has collapsed! ”。
