Chapter 27: Humiliation
Inside the Moon Tower, the moonlight spilled in, and it was beautiful.
Everyone was drinking and chatting, the dancers were dancing, and the singers were playing the harp.
The Mochizuki Tower is very lively.
And at this time, Chen De stood up and said: "Lord County Order, tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many people here who are the talents of my Wannian County, Confucian, how about we write some poems tonight, maybe it will become a good story in the future." ”
At the banquets of the Tang people, most of them liked to chant poems and lyrics, and Chen De had no problem making this suggestion, and it was quickly approved by some other people.
Chen Gu here, naturally, also hopes that tonight's banquet can have some influence, if there can be a masterpiece, maybe it will be comparable to the banquet written by Wang Xizhi in the "Lanting Collection Preface".
In this way, it will really become a good story, and it will last forever.
Therefore, Chen Gu nodded and said, "In this case, then let's write some poems, why don't we take the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight as the theme, how about it?" ”
"Good."
Everyone answered, and then everyone began to think, and in a short time, many people wrote it.
After these people wrote it, Chen Gu ordered someone to collect it, and then asked people to read it one by one, among these, there are poems and words, and every time they read a poem, everyone has to comment.
Among these people's poems, Gu Bai's poem was unanimously praised by everyone, and even Wang Xiaoru nodded and said yes.
If you can get a good voice from Wang Xiaoru, then this poem must be really good.
After chanting like this, everyone couldn't help but praise Gu Bai.
"Gu Gongzi is really a good learner, his reputation is well deserved, his reputation is well deserved."
"Gu Gongzi is this year's new science and technology scholar, and he stayed in the capital to serve, and now this kind of talent will soar sooner or later."
"Yes, yes, Gu Gongzi's poem, I'm afraid no one can compare."
"yes, yes, this is the best poem I've seen in years."
Everyone kept praising it, but Gu Bai was not very modest, because he also liked his poem tightly and was very confident, and he also felt that there were not many people's poems that could compare to his.
And just as everyone was saying this, Gu Bai set his eyes on Cui Shaoqing.
"Cui Xiancheng, I heard that you are also from Jinshi, and everyone has written poems, why don't you write them?"
Gu Bai's main purpose today is to humiliate Cui Shaoqing, and now that he is gaining momentum, it is perfect to find Cui Shaoqing at this time.
Cui Shaoqing was originally drinking, and he was not very interested in this kind of thing of reciting poetry, and Gu Bai suddenly found him, which made him feel a little strange, because he didn't seem to know this Gu Bai.
And after thinking of Gu Bai's words about being a Jinshi, Cui Shaoqing suddenly understood.
Dare to love this Gu Bai is dissatisfied with his background as a gifted jinshi.
Thinking about it, he was born as a Jinshi, and he was an eighth-grade official, but this Gu Bai was only a ninth-grade official in the capital, and he was also an idle official, his heart was unbalanced, it was too normal.
However, Cui Shaoqing is really not very interested in poetry or something, and he doesn't want to plagiarize the poetry of the ancients, so he smiled very casually: "The Jinshi under me is just a meritorious reward for the secret recipe of the saint, talent or something, I don't have much, so I don't offer ugliness, just have fun." ”
When Cui Shaoqing said this, he didn't feel a little embarrassed, as if it was a very glorious thing for him to be born as a Jinshi.
After he said this, many people next to him began to whisper.
"Hmph, I don't have any talent, but I became a county official, it's ridiculous."
"Whoever says no, he's just a person who sells tricks and tricks, and he doesn't have any other skills."
"That's it, it's ............"
Hearing everyone's words, Gu Bai was very proud in his heart, but he was unwilling to give up, because he felt that the humiliation was not enough.
However, before he could speak, Qin Rou on this side suddenly stood up.
I don't know why, he was very angry when he heard others say this about Cui Shaoqing, because he knew that Cui Shaoqing was not a person without talent, on the contrary, he felt that the talent of everyone here was inferior to Cui Shaoqing.
He couldn't help but stand up for Cui Shaoqing.
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, looking up at the bright moon, bowing my head and thinking of my hometown, this is a poem written by my father-in-law, who said that my father-in-law has no talent?"
After Qin Rou stood up, everyone was stunned, Cui Shaoqing was a little surprised, he didn't have any feelings for Qin Rou, he didn't expect that when he was teased and slandered, it was Qin Rou who stood up for him.
She's a woman, and he must have been under a lot of pressure when he stood up like this.
At that moment, Cui Shaoqing actually had some warm feelings in his heart.
Many people, only in times of adversity, can really see and understand.
Cui Shaoqing had an urge to protect Qin Rou.
By this time, everyone had recovered from the shock.
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed, good poems, good poems, although the words of this poem are ordinary, but it is better than the sincerity of the feelings, it is catchy to read, and it is impressive."
"Yes, yes, it is indeed a good poem, and this poem is better than simple, it is extremely easy to sing, presumably soon, this poem will spread."
"Yes, yes, it's much better than Gu Bai's song just now."
After hearing this poem, many learned Confucians did not think about anything else, but just paid attention to this poem, and after tasting it, they all felt that this poem was a superior work, which can be said to be a rare masterpiece since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
These Confucian praises are naturally much more weighty than the others who praised Gu Bai just now.
Gu Bai's face was a little ugly, he didn't expect that at this time, Qin Rou would actually jump out and make trouble.
However, he just smiled coldly and said: "Cui Xiancheng is really good, I heard that you are the son-in-law of the Qin Mansion, and you listen to women at home, how can you also ask women to help in terms of poetry?" ”
The implication is that this poem was not written by Cui Shaoqing, but by Qin Rou.
When Gu Bai said this, Cui Shaoqing's eyes suddenly showed a killing intent.
He didn't expect this Gu Bai to be so unrelenting, and he also talked about his son-in-law, son-in-law, as a man, who likes to be mentioned, and in front of so many people.
He didn't want to teach this Gu Bai a lesson, but since Gu Bai wanted to find death, he had no choice but to fulfill him.
"What Gu Gongzi said is that I, Cui Shaoqing, have no ability, and I not only have to rely on women to write poems, but sometimes I have to rely on my guards, or I ask my guards to help me write a poem?"
