Chapter 437: Who's Afraid of Whom
The little two fish are on the dish!
First eight cold, then eight hot, and finally four soups!
Generally speaking, if you have eight cold dishes, you can eat and drink with chopsticks. But none of the people in the room had any intention of moving their chopsticks, but were talking with a smile on their faces.
If you speak in the vernacular, Li Feibai can still interject! It's infuriating that everyone is speaking Chinese, and those who are full of mouths can't understand it, let alone interject!
Actually, Li Feibai doesn't understand the literary language! A piece of classical Chinese is placed in front of you, and if you look at it slowly, you can understand most of the meaning!
However, everyone spoke with it, and they spoke it very quickly, and they couldn't understand anything except a few words like "yes"!
Li Feibai's heart became even more dissatisfied! It turns out that Yang Shen called himself here to show off his knowledge in front of him, but I have made it clear that I am an illiterate straw bag, what kind of superiority can you show off in front of me?
Isn't this obvious to the cow playing the harp?
He really wants to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables and eat! Thinking that he is a guest after all, the host did not move the chopsticks, and he moved first, which is too rude!
What's more, I came here to make friends this time, and if the quality is too low, people will look down on me, and I won't be able to make friends!
He was like sitting on pins and needles, but he endured it, and smiled at everyone present from time to time.
The dishes have been served, and Yang Shen and his gang still have no intention of moving chopsticks, and they are still full of mouths, chatting happily. And I don't know, how long will we have to talk!
Li Feibai got up, filled the wine glasses in front of everyone, turned around and returned to his seat, picked up the wine glass, interrupted the conversation of the others, and said:
"You are all literary and opera stars in the sky, with poetry and books in your belly, you are not ordinary characters at first glance, and you are the people I admire the most! Being able to eat and drink with you today is really a blessing that I have cultivated in my last life. Here, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, a cup to you! I'll do it first as a respect, feel free! ”
After that, he was about to send the wine glass to his mouth with both hands, but was interrupted by a person: "Wait! ”
Li Feibai stopped his cup and looked at the Hanlin who spoke.
That Han Lin Chong smiled on the right and said, "Let's eat and drink, is there still a rule!" ”
Someone immediately chimed in, saying, "Yes, yes! ”
That Han Lin said again: "The so-called ignorant is not guilty, should we tell Li Gongzi about our rules?" ”
Another Hanlin smiled at Li Feibai: "Actually, it's not a rule, it's just a vassal elegance." Before drinking and eating, each person needs to make a poem about each dish! ”
Another Hanlin continued: "This poem must be played by the topic, and the poems of predecessors must not be quoted!" It has to conform to the rhyme, and limerick poetry doesn't count! ”
There is also Hanlin Dao: "If you make a poem, you will have meat to eat and wine to drink!" Can't do it, haha, that's just watching us eat meat and drink! ”
Immediately, under the leadership of Yang Shen, everyone began to chant poems!
Li Feibai didn't understand what the rhythm of the poem was, but he also listened to the poems casually chanted by the people present, all of them were catchy, and he couldn't help but admire them secretly in his heart.
Nowadays, people, especially these Hanlin, really have real learning, and it is a poem casually. These poems may not be able to reach the point of being passed down through the ages, but they can be published in Daming Daily, which can definitely improve the quality of Daming Daily.
Admiration is admiration, and a cloud of anger also rose in Li Feibai's chest!
That's what I was invited to dinner. Oh, call me over, knowing that I can't recite poetry, but you have to force me to recite poetry and oppose me, obviously not letting me eat and drink, and watching my jokes!
I've seen a bully, but I've never seen a bully like this. Lao Tzu is conscientious, and he is a rare genius in Daming, and he will get a minimum of respect wherever he goes, and there is no reason to come here to be bullied by you poor and sour!
Soon the Hanlin people finished chanting the poems, and their eyes looked at Li Feibai in unison, and someone said: "Li Gongzi, it's your turn!" ”
Some people even smiled maliciously: "Only by chanting poems that meet the occasion are worthy of eating meat and drinking wine with us!" If you can't sing poetry, you can only sit there obediently and watch us eat meat and drink wine! ”
There are also humanitarians: "Just tell him to look at it, and you have to punish him for pouring us wine and tea!" ”
Li Feibai was ridiculed by everyone, his face turned blue and red for a while, and he got up from his chair and said, "I am illiterate, so I am not worthy of eating and drinking with you who are full of poetry and books, and say goodbye!" ”
After that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by a Hanlin: "Wait! ”
Li Feibai turned around and said, "Do you have any advice?" ”
That Hanlin said: "Seeing that you are still a little self-aware, go back and close the Daming Daily!" ”
Li Feibai was stunned and said, "Why? ”
That Hanlin said: "Cangjie makes words, the sky is up and down, and thousands of ghosts cry at night, which shows that words are divine." And the words carry the words of the saints, how can an illiterate person like you blaspheme at will! ”
Only then did Li Feibai understand that the real reason why Yang Shen invited him to dinner was here, to prevent him from running Daming Daily! However, this method is too ridiculous!
In the past, the suppression he encountered was all to suppress people with power, but today it is an eye-opener, and there is also a text to suppress people! What is this? Is it bookish and angry?
He said, "What if I don't want to shut it up?" ”
That Hanlin said: "That's easy! We, Hanlin, are among the best in the Ming Dynasty, and we don't dare to publish a book, let alone run a newspaper! But you dare to run a newspaper, which shows that you think that your knowledge is above us! Well, we'll send someone to compare your style. You win, just run your Daming Daily. You lose, and you are a man with your tail between your legs, don't mention the matter of newspapers again! ”
Li Feibai said: "Compared to what? ”
That Hanlin said: "It's more than the word endowment, there is no limit to the name of the word brand, fill in the endowment at will, and the one with the best literary conception wins." ”
Li Feibai couldn't think of the poems after Jiajing for a while, and he lost unjustly. Now compare the word, and there is no limit to the name of the word, there is no possibility of losing! As far as his memory is clear, there are no less than ten words that can blurt out, and all of them are masterpieces that can be passed down through the ages, I don't believe that they can't compare to the current Hanlin!
He said: "Compare is compare, who is afraid of whom!" ”
All Hanlin was stunned!
They thought that after making this request, Li Feibai would definitely raise his hands in surrender, and then hug his head and run away! I didn't expect this guy to dare to fight!
Who are they, they are all the top talents of the Ming Dynasty, the smartest people. The poem is right, and the lyrics are not twisted. An illiterate guy, does he know how to fill in words and rhyme, and dare to compare with them, isn't this looking for death?
Since it's looking for death, let's fulfill this guy, so that this guy will die, and he will close the door when he goes back!
A Hanlin said: "Brother Yang, I heard that you are now writing the twenty-first history bullet lyrics, where have you done it now?" ”
Yang Shen said: "The second paragraph has been completed, and now the opening words of the third paragraph are being conceived!" ”
That Hanlin said: "Can you think of the opening words? ”
Yang Shen said: "I haven't had time to think about it yet!" ”
That Hanlin said: "It's better for Brother Yang to play on the spot, so that some people who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth know what is a genius in the sky and what is the first genius in the Ming Dynasty." See if he dares to be arrogant, thinking that there is no one in Daming, he dares to run Daming Daily! ”
Yang Shen smiled: "This is a little difficult for me, how to come up with a good song for a while, I'm afraid that I will lose!" With that, he drank a glass of wine, got up and paced around the room in contemplation.
