Qin Hui's flattery, Zhao Kai has a bit of encouragement, the title of champion is too golden, ranking first among the country's scholars, which can bring people great self-confidence.

Although Zhao Kai was finally appointed by Zhao Ji as the role model, everyone knew that Zhao Kai was the champion.

But looking back, for more than 1,000 years, there have been countless champions in the imperial examination, but a few of these champions can really leave a name in the literary world.

Examination-oriented education, the more developed it is, the more extreme it is, the Tang and Song dynasties are okay, the disadvantages of examination-oriented education have appeared in large numbers, and even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there are still people who don't know who Su Shi is, isn't this kind of thing ridiculous? It can be seen that this literati only read the Four Books and the Five Classics, never read miscellaneous books, and devoted himself to studying the methods of the Eight Strands of Articles, resulting in an extremely narrow range of knowledge.

It is also a disguised kind of "two ears do not listen to things outside the window, and only read the books of sages." "I only want to be a junior sergeant, and I only want to take the exam.

Zhao Kai pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a beautiful essay, which fell on the paper, and he read it a few times, but he felt extremely satisfied.

The poems and articles written by people who don't know the warmth and coldness of time, no matter how flowery the rhetoric is, will always lack some soul, less moving emotions, and less thinking about life. This is a congenital deficiency, and there is no way to do it.

It is Zhao Ji's hand-me-down lyrics, and most of the ones that can be passed on to future generations are written after the disaster. It can be seen that before the disaster, Huizong Zhao Ji's poems, there is really nothing to be desired, although many people are praised for their extraordinary skills, but they are not moving, and no one even wants to read more and pass more, until Zhao Ji's words and sentences began to remember, began to mourn, began to have real experience and real feelings, and began to move people, and there was sadness and sadness when he heard it.

Poetry and writing are different from calligraphy and painting, which mainly rely on skills, in which the emotional component accounts for a minority. Of course, modern works, such as Impressionism, or some Realism, are another way of appreciating them, and they are beginning to lean in the direction of emotion.

The way of calligraphy is only in the direction of elegance and beauty, and there is no completely emotional appreciation and communication mode.

When Zhao Kai's words came again, Rong Xiaorong's eyes lit up again, and after reading silently, he actually began to thank him first: "The slave family is fortunate to have three lives, and His Royal Highness King Yun is so great, thank His Royal Highness King Yun for his kindness." As soon as this song comes out, tonight can be called the first, even this year, the slave family has not seen a comparable work, and I invite you to taste it together. ”

After speaking, Rong Xiaorong began to tune and prepared to sing. Everyone in the audience is looking forward to listening to Zhao Kai's masterpiece.

Zhou Duwen frowned when he heard this, his face was a little unsightly, there was no first place in ancient literature, Rong Xiaorong was good at dancing with long sleeves, and gave King Yun a first name. If tonight is a continuous success, Zhou Duwen may not have any thoughts in his heart. But tonight's first place seems to be only compared with himself, which means that Zhou Duwen has lost, which is also unacceptable.

What's more, Zhou Duwen has a family background, and the face of the Zhou family's golden signboard is even more depressing. This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Duwen usually avoids King Yun, that is, he doesn't want to fall into this embarrassment, even if he is at a similar level, Zhao Kai, who is the King of Yun, is born with an aura bonus and can stand out even more.

The spread of the matter inevitably became that Zhao Kaici, the king of Yun, was the son of Zhou Bangyan and Zhou Duwen. This is nothing to Zhao Kai, the royal family wants fame, it is too simple, so he pays less attention to the reputation he gets. For Zhou Duwen, it is a depressing thing. The reputation of the Zhou family was established by Zhou Bangyan for decades, and it was earned in decades with real talent and learning, and it was also the foundation of the Zhou family's life in Tokyo, and even the job of the Zhou family. Comparing the two, you know the importance of yourself.

"Write again, King Yun's work can't get rid of the fixed category, you can write another one." Zheng Zhi saw the change in Zhou Duwen's expression, and he gave words of encouragement.

Sometimes it's so unfair, if Zhou Duwen overwhelms Zhao Kai tonight, it seems to have a great reputation, but it invisibly offends people, and it is the royal people who offend, and Xingneng may still be the future emperor, Zhao Kai wants to be the prince is not in the hearts of Wang Hao and others, it has already been rumored. After Zhao Ji has continued to show his love for Zhao Kai in the past few years, this kind of rumor has spread.

The song has started, Zhao Yingluo doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, or she doesn't know what the problem is, but she feels full of interest, and said: "Zhou Gongzi, write another song, with your talent, you will definitely be the best on the spot." ”

Zhou Duwen has hesitation and impulse, the pen has been picked up, but there is a burden in his heart, a burden in his mind, and a lack of inspiration.

Zheng Zhi looked at Zhou Duwen's appearance, and said with a smile: "Duwen, I'll also come to a song, how about competing with you?" ”

Zhou Duwen heard Zheng Zhi's smiling words, and seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and replied: "Okay, I have been friends with Brother Zheng for many years, but I haven't been too superior, so I will fight for him today." Brother Zheng, please. ”

After speaking, Zhou Duwen raised his glass and touched Zheng Zhilai, and the two drank a glass of spirits, each with a pen.

Zhou Duwen's "Early Plum Fang"

The walls are deep and surrounded by bamboos. The feast is in the clear swamp. It is slightly delicate, so the hidden curtain is laughing. The powder fragrance is thin and has a tight waistline. Looking at the phoenix, the seat is full of sighs.

When the wine wakes up, it will disperse. Looking back at Seongnam-do. The river is high and turning, and the night will dawn when the feet are exposed. The joy is drowning in the years, and the drunken eyes are fascinated. The road is long, and the hatred is full of thousands of miles of grass.

The words are talking about tonight's events, and the first half of the Que said that this elegant garden is beautiful, and the audience is full of sighs. In the second half, I said that I was a little helpless in life. is a light and beautiful woman, but when she wakes up in a dream, she can't help but reveal a little helplessness in the face of King Yun's powerlessness.

Zhou Duwen achieved it overnight, but Zheng Zhi was still thinking about his memories. I can see that Zhou Duwen has been written, and after reading it slightly, I already know what I think. inevitably made Zheng Zhi also think a little, since Zhou Duwen has affection for Rong Xiaorong, Zheng Zhi has to fight for Zhou Duwen. Victory or defeat is also the heart of this girl.

I saw Zheng Zhi lifting the pen, "Picking Mulberries":

The bright moon should laugh at me, laugh at me now, lonely and sad, walking alone and singing alone.

Recently, I'm afraid to talk about current events, so I'm knitting Lan Xiang. The moon is shallow and the light is deep, where to find the clouds in the dream?

This song was composed by Nalan Xingde, the son of Nalan Mingzhu, the minister of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no other intention, it is a confession, or it can be said that he misses.

At this time, Zheng Zhi wrote such a confession, and with the song on Zhou Duwen, the meaning was already obvious.

looked at Zheng Zhi again, looked up at Zhou Duwen, but said: "Duwen, my handwriting is a little worse, how about you help me copy it?" ”

Zhou Duwen glanced at Zheng Zhi's handwriting, it was really worse, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, it seems that you usually take more knives and guns, but you have practiced less in this character." ”

Zheng Zhi didn't explain, but handed over the paper. After Zhou Duwen took it, he began to help Zheng Zhi copy it. After finishing copying, Zheng Zhi smiled lightly, called the little girl, and sent the two lyrics.

"Brother Zheng, you've made the payment." Zhou Duwen saw that Zheng Zhi gave the two poems directly to the little guy, and hurriedly reminded.

Zheng Zhi chuckled and shook his head, it was deliberately not paid, there was Zhou Duwen's handwriting, and there was no payment, which was exactly the effect of Zheng Zhi.

Zhou Duwen saw that Zheng Zhi didn't care, so it didn't matter, this kind of thing would be said later.

When the poem arrived on the stage, Rong Xiaorong looked at it for a moment, and looked straight to the private room on the left, with two words in hand, how could he still not know what he meant, so he quickly stood up and wanted to say a word of thanks, but it was two words that were meaningful, but Rong Xiaorong's words of thanks were blocked.

I saw Rong Xiaorong lightly blessed, and there was only one sentence when he spoke: "Thank you Gongzi Zhou for your love, the slave family is grateful." ”

Since ancient times, Qinglou has not mainly sold meat and skin, but for recreation, and at a deeper level, it has sold "love". Qinglou is not a brothel, but provides love services for these literati. Of course, selling love services is also more profitable than selling skin and flesh. This is the so-called high-end service in later generations. Of course, there are still low-end services.

After a word of gratitude, Rong Xiaorong's complexion also changed, not blushing, but a little lonely. also has his own entanglement in his heart, a Qinglou Oiran, a child of a family, in fact, there is an invisible gap in the middle. Love can, but it's hard to put it into reality.

It's not just the problem of redeeming money that Zheng Zhi encountered, this problem is just one of them. The main reason is that the door is not the right one, even if Zhou Bangyan can afford this money, he will not spend it on an oiran, not to mention how much status does a woman in the Qinglou have when she enters the door. Since she is a woman with no status, why spend such a huge amount of money.

The spring breeze was once in the building, and the love between the two was beautiful. I really want to fight for a white-headed old man, but it's in vain.

Zheng Zhi didn't have these entanglements, and went straight to add a sum of money. Zhou Duwen may not have these entanglements, it is the time when young Fenghua is chasing love. The girl's mind was stirred, and after all, it was this girl who would bear these sorrows in the future.

The song is still singing, first "Early Plum Fang", and then "Picking Mulberries". sang tactfully and complainingly, the emotions were strong, Rong Xiaorong's face was almost tearful, and his heart was a mess.

Zhao Kai's face was gloomy, and the things in terms of lyrics and writing skills were clear at a glance, obviously Zhao Kai had lost. In addition to the lyrics themselves, there are also unpleasantness. The meaning of the words and sentences, Zhao Kai naturally understood.

Zhao Kai came in every day, and most of the reason was for the beauty. Now that the beautiful woman's mind has been touched by others, how can she be happy.

Wang Hao saw the appearance of the girl on the stage, where could he not understand, and hurriedly said: "If Your Highness takes a fancy to this girl, tomorrow the minister will come to redeem her." ”

Wang Hao asked knowingly when he asked before, and Zhao Kai naturally fell in love with the beauty. But Wang Hao didn't do anything before, but he accompanied Zhao Kai here every day, and probably knew that with Zhao Kai's literary talent, it was not a problem to capture Fang's heart, and this process could also allow Zhao Kai to fully enjoy the fun, the best of both worlds.

Now that a weekly article has been killed, this process seems to have come to an abrupt end. Even Wang Huang was panicked, and he opened his mouth directly to buy it.

Zhao Kai's face became more and more gloomy, and he waved his hand. After all, literati still have the thinking mode of literati, and they only say: "If you lose a chip in literature today, you will also lose a chip in love." Zhoudu's name is well deserved. Money can't buy today's name. ”

An Oiran like Rong Xiaorong is not selling herself after all, she is selling "love". Generally, the love of Qingqi people can be sold to many people, and everyone is a benefactor and a lover. When it comes to Rong Xiaorong's status, he can only sell it to one person, either he can take his identity and keep his due distance from everyone, neither too far nor too close, or he is good at dancing with long sleeves to meet left and right. Either enter the boudoir alone, and his value plummets, Rong Xiaorong is so famous that he has lost the space for long-sleeved dancing.

That's business.

Zhou Duwen obviously has the grace of Rong Xiaorong. There is probably already a love affair between the two.

"Your Highness, the lyrics must come from Zheng Zhi's hand, and he can't get along with His Highness." Qin Hui answered, that is, he wanted to set up an enemy for Zhao Kai, and also an enemy for Zheng Zhili. The best reason for the hostility between men is that of women.
