Chapter 76: The First Talent
After Zhang Jian finished choosing the topic, Yang Hua ordered someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and put it in front of Zhang Shumo and Niu Qi, Niu Qi took a few steps back and forth and picked up the pen and wrote.
Zhang Shumo fell into deep thought, and pictures flashed in his mind. Under the sunset, Wang Hui raised his knife and killed Zhang Shumo, who hurriedly dodged backwards. But Wang Hui's speed was too fast, Zhang Shumo couldn't dodge at all, and at the moment when Wang Hui raised his knife, Lou Zaiying suddenly appeared behind Wang Hui, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and cut off Wang Hui's head with a knife. Zhang Shumo only remembered the sky he saw before he fainted, tilted and reflected red by the remnant sun.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo suddenly looked at Lou Zaiying and showed a sincere smile. Lou Zaiying was stunned for a moment, and then blushed: This nerd, what are you doing smirking at me at this time? I'm not ashamed!
Niu Qi was robbed of the opportunity by Zhang Shumo when he fought with Zhang Shumo last time, and then he lost his will, so this time Niu Qi planned to seize the opportunity and not give Zhang Shumo a chance.
In a moment, Niu Qi raised his pen and nodded with satisfaction. Niu Qi looked at Zhang Shumo, saw that Zhang Shumo was still thinking, and showed a triumphant smile: "I've written it!" After speaking, he presented the poem to Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian looked at Niu Qi's poems and nodded with satisfaction: "Good, good!" The poems are neat and the words are gorgeous, it is rare that this poem was created in such a short period of time, Niu Qi is worthy of being the best among young talents! ”
Hearing Zhang Jian's praise, everyone was curious about Niu Qi's poems, Zhang Jian handed the poems out, Niu Ci hurriedly took them, and then cleared his throat and read them. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but admire, and Niu Qi looked at Zhang Shumo proudly.
Zhang Shumo couldn't help but applaud after listening to Niu Qi's poems: "Niu Gongzi's poems are really gorgeous and extraordinary, and those who don't know think that Niu Gongzi knows a lot about the situation of the bandit fight." ”
After listening to Zhang Shumo's words, everyone couldn't help but think of it, wasn't the Lou family fighting this battle to exterminate the bandits? So someone whispered: "I heard that Zhang Shumo strategized in this crackdown on bandits and successfully prevented the mountain bandits from escaping, but he made a great contribution." ”
"Yes, I didn't expect him to be a weak scholar, but he still knows how to lead troops to fight, he is really a model for the younger generation."
When Niu Qi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wrote poems for a long time, and his feelings were praising Zhang Shumo, even if he won, wouldn't it be Zhang Shumo who got cheap in the end?
Thinking of this, Niu Qi deliberately said: "Although I didn't participate in the battle against bandits, I heard about what happened, if it wasn't for Lord Yang's wise guidance, would you be so successful?" ”
Zhang Shumo hurriedly bowed to Yang Hua: "That's natural, without the guidance of Lord Yang Hua, I'm afraid we won't win so simply!" ”
"In that case, why don't Zhang Gongzi hurry up and chant a poem to express his gratitude?" Niu Qi said with a smile.
Zhang Shumo looked at Yang Hua: "Lord Yang is a military general, so he naturally knows the cruelty of the battle, and I am afraid that the situation I have seen cannot be described with gorgeous rhetoric." After speaking, Zhang Shumo picked up the pen and wrote on the paper.
"A touch of residual sun and a touch of obliqueness, two layers of sand overlap; The soldiers of the three armies are in the three armies, and the thieves in all directions are in all directions! ”
While writing, Zhang Shumo read it out unconsciously, and his eyes became resolute. This battle carried the soul of the Lou family, and it was the result of the bloody struggle of all the soldiers. Although Yang Hua is a general, he is not worthy of this victory, and this victory belongs to all the officers and soldiers of the three armies who participated in the battle!
As Zhang Shumo finished reading the poem, everyone present fell into silence, and a picture flashed in their minds. Under the bloody sun, the soldiers of the three armies fought with the thieves on the battlefield, the blood-red sky overlapped with the battlefield on the ground like another battlefield, and the soldiers fought to the end to win a big victory and roared, vowing to wipe out the thieves in the world!
After a long time, Zhang Jian slowly came to his senses, he looked at Zhang Shumo and couldn't help but shake his head: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it." I didn't expect you to present the brutal battle in front of us in just a few lines of poetry, and also express the ambition of leveling the world's thieves, which is really difficult. And the poems are so neat, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like you came up with it in such a short period of time, and in the future, I'm afraid that the name of the first genius in Qinghua will be yours! After speaking, Zhang Jian patted Zhang Shumo's shoulder.
Everyone gradually came back to their senses, and they all looked at Zhang Shumo with an expression of disbelief, Niu Qi said to himself with a miserable smile on his face: "It seems that my poetry talent is indeed inferior to Zhang Shumo, and I will never do such humiliating things in the future." ”
Yang Xue couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Okay, you Zhang Shumo, today is obviously my celebration banquet, are you sincere in stealing my limelight?" ”
In the next banquet, many people's topics were on Zhang Shumo's body, and people discussed how Zhang Shumo changed from a fool to the first genius in Qinghua City like a drama.
Lou Zaiying was very happy this night, because her husband had become the first talent in Qinghua City. This night, Zhang Shumo became distressed, this matter will definitely spread in Qinghua City, if Lu Li reports it to his father, I am afraid that it will affect the Lou family. He has already affected Lou Hong and his wife, and he can't let Jaeying's family be hurt anymore.
In the next few days, Zhang Jian's evaluation of Zhang Shumo spread wildly in Qinghua City. Although Zhang Shumo had already shown his talent before, after being affirmed by the county commander this time, he could be regarded as the number one talent in Qinghua City. People are talking about Zhang Shumo's transformation from a fool to a genius, and it has inspired many people to start studying hard, hoping that such a miracle will happen to them.
Niu Zheng couldn't help but praise Zhang Shumo after hearing Zhang Shumo's poems, and he was even more willing to invite Zhang Shumo to teach at Songlin Academy, so he also visited Zhang Shumo in person. Zhang Shumo naturally politely refused, after all, with his relationship with Wang Chen, he was basically tied to Shanyang Academy.
Wang Geng naturally knew the importance of Zhang Shumo, and began to take the initiative to instigate Wang Chen to show favor to Zhang Shumo, wanting to win him over to become a staff member of the Wang family. Zhang Shumo has no ambition after all, and he came to the academy to blend into the Qingliu Realm, so as to fulfill Lou Zaiying's requirements for him to get ahead. Now that the goal has basically been achieved, Zhang Shumo naturally will not agree to Wang Chen's request, but he did not refuse directly, but only promised to help Wang Chen make suggestions.
As Zhang Shumo's fame grew, Lou Zaiying fell into distress. At first, Lou Zaiying was very resistant to Lou Hong's forcible marriage to Zhang Shumo, and Lou Zaiying naturally wouldn't like a man who looked silly and stupid and couldn't even speak well. So the two have not been in the same bed since they got married.
But now it's different, Zhang Shumo is good enough, and other women have appeared around him, Lou Zaiying can't help but be distressed, how can he sleep with Zhang Shumo logically?
