Chapter 39: Clouds want clothes, flowers want to look
50,000 yuan is not something that ordinary people can come up with, but there are few ordinary people who can come to participate in the Peach Blossom Fairy's son-in-law selection.
Even if there is, it is basically the person who follows the master to join in the fun.
is more talented than wealth, it is estimated that there is a fat man Wang, and few people can compete for him, after all, people are open money banks.
But if it's compared to poetry, it's not just money that can win.
Despite this, many people here are not alarmed, after all, it is not the first time for everyone to participate in this kind of activity of choosing a son-in-law for famous prostitutes.
Usually, when a famous prostitute chooses a son-in-law, it is an indispensable activity to write poems, but most of the time, the final result is still more than financial resources, or more than power.
Wenbi is at most just an embellishment, the icing on the cake.
Despite this, the elites are also very face-saving, even if they can't write any good poems, they will also hire famous talents to help them put together a few good poems in advance, and then pretend to save face when they compete.
"Today is the day when the slave family goes out of the cabinet to choose a son-in-law, so the theme of today's poem is to write a poem praising the slave family with the title of the slave family. The Peach Blossom Fairy said slowly.
Writing poems on the theme of women can be said to be a very common theme, and everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just that although the subject matter is ordinary, there have been too many masterpieces, and it is not so easy to create another masterpiece.
After all, words such as praising how beautiful a woman looks, who is better than a flower, sinking fish and geese, etc., have been used by predecessors, and it is difficult to have new ideas when they are written.
After the Tibetan Immortal Building arranged for someone to distribute the pen, ink and paper to everyone, he lit a stick of incense and began to compose poems.
Before this incense burns out and is extinguished, the poems written are valid, and beyond time, the best poems are invalid.
The time of a stick of incense is not long, and it is not short, and those who have been prepared in advance naturally do not need to panic, and those who guess the wrong direction naturally have to rack their brains and come up with a poem that suits the occasion.
Although Tang Feiyan and Feng Qiushuang don't need to participate in the poetry competition, in fact, Li Zhonghua has no intention of participating in the poetry competition, he just came to see what the Qinglou in the Tang Dynasty is like, but he didn't plan to spend 50,000 yuan to buy a so-called famous prostitute in the Qinglou to go back.
But Luo Feiyan and Feng Qiushuang thought that Li Zhonghua was very attracted to the Peach Blossom Fairy, and they saw Li Zhonghua's amazing gaze when the Peach Blossom Fairy appeared just now.
Although the two know martial arts and are not weak, they are not afraid of poetry and songs, and their skills in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not weak.
There is such an opportunity to compete with everyone, and of course I want to show my talents.
"Master, watch our sisters help you get a beauty."
Feng Qiushuang saw that Li Zhonghua was just drinking by himself there, but he was admitting defeat, and joked with a busy smile.
It's no wonder that Feng Qiushuang and them, although Li Zhonghua has always said that he is a scholar, he has never shown any talent, but he knows that his medical skills are good, and he can make wine, and even grow vegetables and crops.
As for composing poetry, I guess it's not good, anyway, I haven't heard him compose poetry, and I don't even see how much he likes to read.
"If Master Ben wants to win this game, no one can stop him, where do I need your help." Li Zhonghua shook his head and said.
"Sir, just blow it! Anyway, the concubine body doesn't believe it. ”
"It's certainly very clever for my lord to do something else, but writing poetry, we sisters haven't heard of it anyway."
"Good! You all dare to doubt Master Ben, so if you don't let you see it today, what is called something that can be passed down through the ages, you won't be convinced. ”
was despised by two women, of course Li Zhonghua couldn't sit still, so he had to fight back, not to fight for the Peach Blossom Fairy, but also to fight for himself, we can't be looked down upon by women, the key is still the two concubines in their name.
In order to shock the people present, Li Zhonghua was also racking his brains thinking, he didn't want to write a good poem, but he was struggling with his brain, about depicting the beauty of a woman, and the good poems that can be passed down through the ages, it seems that there are too many, and he doesn't know which one to plagiarize.
After thinking about it, the butterfly love flower in Song Ci should be regarded as the best poem written, but it is Song Ci, and it should not be popular now, and it seems a little bad to plagiarize it at this time.
The time for a stick of incense is about to pass, Li Zhonghua still hasn't put pen to paper, Feng Qiushuang and Luo Feiyan have already completed their own poems.
"Although the master is smart, he also has his weaknesses, that is, he can't do poetry!" Feng Qiushuang said with a smile and Luo Feiyan.
"There is no perfect person in the world, so what if the master can't write poetry? As long as he is good to our sisters, it is enough. Luo Feiyan said indifferently.
At this moment, Li Zhonghua picked up the brush in his hand, smeared it heavily on the polished ink, and quickly wrote on the white paper.
Curious, the two looked over and saw that the first two lines of the poem had been written on it.
The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon.
When Luo Feiyan and Feng Qiushuang saw it, they couldn't help but read it out in unison.
If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon.
Without waiting for the two of them to wake up from the shock, Li Zhonghua had already finished writing the entire poem with a wave and put down the brush in his hand.
At this time, a pillar of incense finally burned to the end.
Although the voice of the two of them reading was not loud, because at the most critical time, everyone's poems had been completed, and only Li Zhonghua was still working hard.
So much so that everyone's eyes were on Li Zhonghua's side, and although the voices of Luo Feiyan and Feng Qiushuang reciting poems were not loud, they were definitely not small, so everyone basically heard them.
There is no need to compete any further, many people know that they have lost.
The famous poems of the poet immortal Li Bai that have been passed down through the ages, of course, are not just a person who claims to be a genius, and he can win it.
The Peach Blossom Fairy naturally heard it, and gently recited it, and more deeply realized the artistic conception in the poem.
Although many people are unconvinced, they are all people who want to save face, and in the face of this kind of extremely different poems, many people choose to simply grab and tear up the poems they have just written.
Since you can't compare to others, why bother to be embarrassed?
After their hopes were shattered, many people tore up their poems, and they were not interested in staying any longer, so they waved their hands and left, but there were still many people who stayed, thinking about getting to know Li Zhonghua, at least to find out where he came from.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's better to let the old slave go and report the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, and that kid won't dare to be uninteresting." Zheng Quan said in front of Li Chengqian without giving up.
The crown prince Li Chengqian also wrote a poem, thinking that it was a very good thing, but he was originally full of confidence, thinking that he could hold the beauty.
But after listening to Li Zhonghua's poems, he didn't have a little certainty of winning, but he still didn't give up, let alone tear up his poems.
Since he got married not long ago and married the crown princess, Li Chengqian has begun to have a great interest in women.
I happened to see the beauty of the Peach Blossom Fairy, and I fell for it.
The reason why the Peach Blossom Fairy suddenly chose a son-in-law this time was the result of Zheng Quan's operation in order to curry favor with the crown prince Li Chengqian.
It's just that I didn't expect to make a wedding dress for others, which cheapened Li Zhonghua.
It turned out that Zheng Quan used the power of the East Palace to exert pressure, but he didn't want to be said afterwards that the prince was bullying people, robbed the famous prostitutes in the Qinglou, and ruined the reputation of the prince, so he put forward the condition that he was willing to use 50,000 yuan to redeem himself for the Peach Blossom Fairy.
The owner behind the Tibetan Immortal Mansion knew that the Peach Blossom Fairy couldn't stay, so he talked to the Peach Blossom Fairy, and he didn't dare to find out that the prince of the dynasty had taken a fancy to her, which was also a condition that Zheng Quan had said in advance.
The Peach Blossom Fairy, as the head of the top ten famous prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty, also saved some private money, and after hearing about it, they asked to redeem themselves.
This kind of thing was originally a very common thing in the Qinglou. But how dare the people of the Hidden Immortal Tower agree?
Instead, he sent someone to pass on the prince Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian came up with this trick, he was canonized as the prince since he was a child, and he has been trained as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and every teacher is a well-educated person.
This also made Li Chengqian extremely proud, thinking that there were few people in the world who would be more talented than him, and he wanted to use his talent to convince the Peach Blossom Fairy.
As a lowly person, where does the Peach Blossom Fairy have the right to choose? What I thought in my heart was that if she could meet a truly talented Ruyi Langjun, even if the other party couldn't come up with 50,000 yuan, she could use her private money to paste it to the other party.
"Don't be so troublesome, in addition to writing poems well, you must also come up with 50,000 yuan, as long as he can't take it out, the Peach Blossom Fairy must still belong to the prince." The crown prince Li Chengqian said with a very calm look, as if he had already won the battle.
"But the old slave heard that the new wine came from his hands, and he should have taken out 50,000 yuan." Zheng Quan said with some unconfidence.
"He has just spent 60,000 guan to buy the house he lives in now, although the new wine is very expensive, but I heard that the production is limited, do you think he can immediately take out 50,000 guan to compete with the prince for beauty?" Prince Li Chengqian said very proudly.
