Chapter 14: The Wager
The soul of a poem lies not in the flowery rhetoric, but in the ideas it expresses. And Wang Fu's poem is better than its outspoken spirit.
The scene fell silent for a while, but some literati reacted immediately. are all talented people from poor backgrounds, and their emotions are stimulated at the first time. One by one, they all saluted Wang Fu and said, "Your Excellency's words, I am ashamed."
"I'm ashamed!"
For a while, Wang Fu became the focus of the audience, and this guy also changed his compassionate expression, constantly maneuvering around these praises, so he was at ease.
"You have fulfilled Wang Fu's wish to emerge in the poetry club, obtained three wish points, and the current wish is worth nineteen."
The cold voice of the system sounded, indicating that Qin Ze had fulfilled Wang Fu's wish.
"Nineteen wish points, as long as you live in the ghost house for a month, you can get five more wish points, and you are getting closer and closer to a hundred wish points. Now, as long as you get the twenty times of the poetry club, you will have the capital of life, isn't it beautiful. ”
Qin Ze thought in his heart, the second round of the poetry meeting over there had already begun, and it turned out to be a pair about rain. The rules are also simple, Li Shiyun will ask the question, who is more right and better, that is the winner.
Li Shiyun raised her head and looked around slowly, and finally smiled lightly and said: "I see that the willow trees here also like it, so it is better to come out: the willows on both sides of the strait are green."
"Three o'clock drizzle, weeds green." Cui Ling was the first to speak, his eyes looked at Li Shiyun directly, and his face was full of pride.
Qin Ze didn't know what Li Shiyun thought in his heart, if he met such a person, he would probably die of disgust.
"Ya, it's better to be more restrained, what does the fanaticism on this face mean?" Qin Ze couldn't help but say something in his heart.
"It's still three o'clock drizzle, and the weeds are green, and I still have three monks who have no water to drink." Qin Ze muttered quietly, but he didn't want to be excited for a while, and his voice was a little loud. I was heard clearly by the people nearby.
"The prodigal son of the Ascendant is nothing but a rude and despicable man." This time it was Wang Yuxi who spoke first, as if he couldn't get along with Qin Ze.
Qin Ze himself was also puzzled, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand why. Of course, Qin Ze consciously ignored the teasing he had just made with Wang Yuxi.
"This little lady ......"
"Phew~ Who do you call the little lady?" Being called Qin Ze, a layer of blush suddenly rose on Wang Yuxi's fair and flawless face, especially the pink neck, which looked even more thrilling.
"Okay, it's better not to be called a little lady." Qin Ze smiled evilly and said.
"Dare to get along with me, the young master has a way to deal with you."
Li Shiyun on the side saw the two of them like this, and she was also stunned for a while, and said in her heart: "This Qin Gongzi is interesting, and everyone else is polite, but he is so interesting."
Enjoying, Qin Ze felt that he had suddenly found the joy of life, and suddenly felt that it was not bad to live in Datang.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth." Wang Yuxi, who was out of breath at the end, said this to Qin Ze fiercely.
Qin Ze could even feel the killing intent inside, it didn't seem like he was joking at all, it seemed that it was really possible to do so. Shrinking his neck at the moment, he said in his heart: "It's really a thorny rose."
In the end, it was the eldest grandson who rushed out to settle the dispute, as the organizer of the poetry club over the years, he himself did not participate in the poetry club's competition. His role is to guide the poetry club, but this year there was a Qin Ze, and he made him a peacemaker.
Cui Ling on the side also looked at Li Shiyun looking at Qin Ze with a smile, and his heart was furious at the moment, and he snorted coldly and said to Qin Ze: "Miss Li is: Xiaoyan on both sides of the strait. You're right: the three monks have no water to drink, and this battle alone is completely different. I think you're just a reckless. ”
People who are carried away by love are the saddest, Qin Ze glanced at Cui Ling very sympathetically, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "A garden of spring rain peach blossoms."
"The wind blows the willows, and the clouds are thick." Cui Ling's complexion changed slightly, but the whole person became more and more aggressive, and the corners of his eyes rose, with an indescribable arrogance. Even put aside the rules of the poetry club, and said directly. It looked like he was going to ask Qin Ze for advice.
"The rain hits the stones and the lightning flashes and thunders." Qin Ze blurted out that in order to take the civil service exam, he had read all kinds of books a lot, but he didn't expect to really use them now.
"Rain or shine is a must."
"Enlightenment can cover the sky." Qin Ze blurted out again, and then interrupted Cui Ling with a wave of his hand, and said: "Brother Cui has tested me so many times, let me make a pair if I don't go, if Brother Cui can match, I will be willing to bow down."
"Is that true?" Cui Ling squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Ze carefully, but he couldn't understand what he meant. But he said in his heart: "I have been reading poetry and books since I was a child, and my father has visited countless famous teachers in order to make me stand out. I don't believe I'm going to lose to a vulgar villain today. ”
"Never fake." Qin Ze replied affirmatively.
This kind of duel between two talented people undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. Even that Wang Yuxi couldn't help but look sideways at Qin Ze, but found that there was no trace of panic on the other party's face.
At the moment, I was a little uncertain in my heart, but I just thought that this guy really had some ability to stump this Cui Ling?
Of course, Qin Ze is sure, he doesn't understand poetry about pairs, but he knows a lot about some historical absolutes.
What is the difficult connection, the lack of words, the drama and the answer, and the ruthless connection...... He had a big push in his head to bully a little-known Cui Ling in history, and he was still very sure.
"Okay, I'll go down." Cui Ling's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, and then added: "But you also need to add some color."
"Color?" Qin Ze was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, how confident this guy was in himself, obviously he wanted to play a big game.
In this regard, Qin Ze could only say: Come on, who is afraid of whom. I have Li Bai on my left hand, Du Fu on my right, and an omnipotent system, I will be afraid of you.
However, this color head is exquisite, although he has been pressing Cui Ling, but it is a literary hand. No matter how strong he is, at most he can only say that he is proud of his talents. No matter how hard he Cui Ling is, he doesn't dare to do anything to himself.
But if you don't stand up right, you may end up with a mortal enemy. Qin Zecai wouldn't be so stupid, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what Brother Cui wants to set up?"
"This brush in my hand is an extremely precious rabbit shoulder purple pen, which I purchased from a merchant in the Western Regions. I don't know what Brother Qin thinks? ”
Cui Ling was holding a thin brush in his hand, his eyes kept staring at Qin Ze's expression, but he didn't see Qin Ze a trace of shock at all. At the moment, I was also stunned, this rabbit shoulder purple pen is the only one in Chang'an. Even his father loved it, and originally planned to use this poem to give it to Li Shiyun, but he didn't expect it to become a bet now.
It's no wonder that Qin Ze wasn't surprised, he didn't know the preciousness of this thing at all. But fortunately, there was Wang Fu next to him, and Qin Ze directly asked, "Brother Wang, how much is this brush worth?"
Wang Fu was stunned, this pen is obviously the treasure of the Cui family, how can it be taken out and sold? However, looking at the sincerity on Qin Ze's face, it didn't look like he was joking at all, Wang Fu still said helplessly: "Don't talk about five hundred times." But ......"
"Five hundred!" Before Wang Fu's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Qin Ze with a look of ecstasy.
"Okay, just this rabbit pen."
"Rabbit shoulder purple pen." Cui Ling's face was gloomy, gritting his teeth and almost wanting to rush up and bite Qin Ze to death.
"Since it's a lottery head, I don't know what Brother Qin can come up with?" Cui Ling didn't think that Qin Ze would be able to come up with anything, especially when he looked at Qin Ze's shabby clothes, he was even more convinced.
Qin Ze really can't take out anything, he is poor and still has to live in Cheng Huailiang's house, and the five guans he got before are now only more than two guan, and there is nothing at all.
Just as Qin Ze was pondering, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of Qin Ze. This hand is white and flawless, and it also exudes a burst of fragrance, and the smell is intoxicating.
"I have a piece of Hetian jade wall here, which is definitely worth more than five hundred guan. I can lend it to you, but you have to promise me one thing. It was Wang Yuxi who spoke, and what she was holding in her hand was the Hetian Yubi in her mouth.
"Why?" Qin Ze was stunned for a moment, a little confused. Wang Yuxi's actions greatly exceeded Qin Ze's expectations.
"What do you want me to promise?" This point must still be asked, what should I do if I let myself do something "shy" at that time?
"I know my little brother's ability, without your words, he would not have been able to write that sentence: Gongzi Wang Sun shook the fan. And I can tell that you are definitely not an ordinary person. After a pause, he blinked his bright eyes and continued with some slyness, "How? Say yes or no? ”
"Don't do things that hurt nature and reason, don't do things that violate morality, and don't do things that can't be done." Qin Ze didn't do anything with a face, and completely blocked the back road.
"Deal." With Wang Yuxi's crisp sound, Qin Ze suddenly woke up and was fooled.
The other party just said that he would lend himself something, but he didn't say that he wanted to give it to himself, and he deceived himself of such a big promise, which was simply a million profits.
"Damn, this little lady just deliberately tempted me." Qin Ze scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was stubborn and he didn't say a word.
Taking the opportunity to take over the jade wall from Wang Yuxi's hand, Qin Ze silently swiped his fingers lightly across Wang Yuxi's palm.
Soft, soft to the softness of the heart; Warm, just the right amount of warmth.
It was this touch that made Wang Yuxi, who was still proud, stiffen in an instant. A pair of eyes stared at Qin Ze, unable to speak for a long time.
Just kidding, he, Qin Ze, will do a loss-making business.
