Chapter 137: Betting
"Isn't it just a matter of making a few poems, as for showing them off? Who wouldn't be able to do it?! Even if I write it with my eyes closed, it won't be worse than yours to believe it or not? Sun Chen frowned.
Although he really doesn't have that talent, he has a lot of manuscripts in his head, and 300 Tang poems from childhood to adulthood can crush you to death in minutes! What's more, when you were in junior high school, high school and college, the ancient poems in the Chinese textbooks were the classics of each dynasty, and if you don't believe it, you will not be convinced!
Fortunately, there are no Tang and Song poems here, and there is no appreciation of ancient poems in Chinese textbooks, although everything around is somewhat similar to the feudal society of his time and space, but there is no overlap, even if he really takes it out and uses it, no one will accuse him of plagiarism.
"Hehe, since you dare to say big things, it seems that I am inferior if I don't fight, then please be a witness, don't lose and don't admit it when the time comes."
"Whoever doesn't admit it's a puppy!" Sun Chen shouted.
"In that case, what's the color? You can't just admit defeat with a dry sentence at the end, right? Han Xudong's eyes flashed. Although this family acted rudely, they were generous, and in the end they didn't let them have some blood, and he Han Xudong felt sorry for them!
"Color? What do you want? Sun Chen raised his eyebrows, this guy regarded himself as a wronged boss and wanted to slaughter him fiercely, right? Right!
"Let's not say who can win the championship in the end, after the judgment of the Star Picking Building, let's publish the poems written by each other, and let everyone here judge which is better and which is worse? The losing side, in addition to bowing to the other party and apologizing, only needs to take out thirty taels of silver as a lottery to compensate the other party. ”
In order to be safe, he didn't dare to say that he had to win the championship to win, and he originally wanted to ask for fifty taels of silver, but after thinking about it, what if they were too expensive to compare? Anyway, it's the money that can be obtained steadily, so it's better to make a little less.
"Okay, that's a deal. But if I win, I don't want your silver, I want you to stand in the downtown area of Taikang Town for three consecutive days with the sign of 'I am a pig', and explain to everyone who comes to see you why you are there, I hope you don't regret it then~" Sun Chen nodded.
"Hmph, it's not a small tone, then let's see how good you are! If you win, how about I not only hold up a sign in the downtown area, but also pay you thirty taels of silver? Han Xudong said disdainfully. Although he is not too sure about winning the championship, he is still very confident that the quality of the poems he makes can crush the other party.
"Of course that's fine." The corners of Sun Chen's mouth rose, and his heart was already happy, and he said that you brought it up yourself, but don't feel stupid when the time comes. "This ...... You're not going to regret it, are you? ”
"I, Han Xudong, speak, although I can't say anything, but I am also a good man who dares to be a good man!" Han Xudong patted his chest.
"That's good, that's good~" Sun Chen turned his head and said loudly to the rest of the people: "Everyone has heard clearly, right?" It's not that I, Sun Chen, forced him to agree to compete with me, even if he really won by luck, he would find him by himself, right? In this case, please be a witness, and don't let him lose and admit it when the time comes! ”
"Who wouldn't admit it? You think they're all like you? Liu Chenguang, who was at the same table as Han Xudong, muttered in a low voice.
"That's the best~" Sun Chen still kept smiling.
The two girls were all stunned, who just said that they couldn't do it? How do you make a bet with someone in the blink of an eye? Although you can afford to lose twenty taels of silver, you can't know that you will lose, and you still stupidly send money to others, right?
At this moment, the guy from the Star Picking Building walked up to the fourth floor with a copper plate.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, the topic of the shop this year is still chasing the moon, but the owner said that the moon is always monotonous back and forth, so it's better for you to talk about things related to the moon chasing festival."
As soon as his words came out, the surrounding scholars exploded.
"This Yongyue Grand Reward, Yongyue Grand Prize, what is the Yongyue Grand Award if you don't Yongyue? Isn't this an off-topic? ”
"Yes, don't talk about the moon, what else is there to say about the Moon Chasing Festival?"
"It's a long way off-topic, what else is there to try?"
"yes, that's unfair!"
Many of the people present had come to participate last year or even the year before that, but they were not selected to win the championship at that time, so they were waiting for tonight to present the poems they had pondered for the whole year, and they would be amazed. But now I suddenly told them that the exam questions had been changed temporarily, which really caught them off guard.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, the owner said that although the exam questions are temporarily changed, everyone knows it at the same time, and there is nothing unfair about it. If he thinks he is incompetent, it can only mean that he has no chance with this year's Yongyue Award. But if someone can stand out from it, it also shows that this person is truly deserved. This year's Yongyue Awards, the prize money has been doubled, and the winners can also spend three times for free in the Star Picking Building this year, with no limit. ”
"Hey, the reward is so generous?! This star picking building is really a big deal! Everyone's hearts, including Sun Chen, were thinking about such a sentence at the moment.
For example, at Sun Chen's table, the four of them ordered three snacks, as well as a plate of preserved fruits, plus a pot of osmanthus tea, which was close to twenty taels of silver. Xinglou made three free promises of unlimited amounts, even if the winner was embarrassed to slaughter him, and only invited seven or eight friends to come over to celebrate each time, he would have to go up two or three hundred taels of silver, right?! That's more than the bonus!
The silence of the crowd The guy who picked up the star building had already expected it, smiled slightly, and then waved his hand to let the person behind him come up with the numbers of several trays. And someone stepped forward to divide the large table in the middle with the four treasures of the study into several independent boxes.
"It's still the same as before, if you want to participate, let our guys prepare a sign with a number written for you, you can put down the pen with confidence, don't worry about being seen by others, and fold it and deliver it to this wooden box after writing. But don't forget to write the number you received, okay guys, I'll come up again in an hour. I wish you all a spring of thoughts and good sentences! ”
After the guy finished speaking, he quietly retreated, and the guests who were about to participate in the Wing Moon Grand Prize began to greet the guys with the number plates and receive their respective race numbers. In the end, except for Sun Chen's table, the guests on the sixteen tables all received number plates, and many of them were like the two people who had just exchanged views with Sun Chen, and each of them received one.
"Look, that's cowardly, isn't it? In my opinion, it may have been prepared in advance, but after changing the topic, it was circled! ”
