In the late spring and early summer afternoons, there is an indescribable quietness.

There was also a brief silence on the streets of Chang'an City, and outside the music square, those who had had lunch came one after another.

The food provided by Lefang is good, very in line with Su Wuming's taste, and after Su Wuming had lunch, because he had nothing to do, he decided to go around in Lefang, other talents have no official position, naturally they can't go everywhere, they can only go in specific places, but Su Wuming is the head of Dali Temple, and there is no problem at all when he walks around in Lefang.

Power, sometimes just privilege.

In addition to the hall in front of the music for people to compete, there is also a backyard, the backyard is equivalent to a very large courtyard, there are pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, there are small bridges and flowing water, and there are small courtyards divided into pieces one after another, and these courtyards are where the singers and dancers live, of course, in addition to these, there are many other places, such as special rehearsal places, such as places to eat, places to change clothes, and so on.

But these places, even if Su Wuming is an official, he can't go, most of the people in the music shop are women, how can Su Wuming be a man who breaks in, so after Su Wuming had lunch, he walked through a few pavilions and pavilions, and arrived at an artificial lake, the artificial lake is not very big, about five or six acres, at this time, the lake is full of lotus roots, lotus leaf pavilions, and a few even show sharp corners, under the lotus leaves, there are fish swimming in groups, so comfortable, Su Wuming saw these, he didn't want to move anymore, so he sat down by the lake, Hold your chin and look at the view of the lake.

From time to time, a fresh breeze blew, blowing Su Wuming's clothes, and also blowing those lotus leaves swaying, all the qiē here are so quiet, people like it, and at this time, a voice suddenly came: "You...... Who are you and how did you get to this place? ”

It was a woman's voice, with surprise in her voice, and of course, three parts anger and three points of horror, after all, there are very few men in the backyard of Le Fang.

Su Wuming was also a little shocked and a little afraid, so he hurriedly got up and wanted to apologize to make it clear, and at the moment when Su Wuming got up and looked up, he saw the woman who had just spoken, the woman was very beautiful, the beauty was amazing, the beauty was helpless, and the hiring of Tingting had the charm of making the men in the world crush her bones.

The woman was dressed in white, the breeze blew, and her clothes flew up, like a fairy in the world, the woman frowned slightly, as if she was a little annoyed by Su Wuming's actions, and her slightly frowning brows added an indescribable charm to her beauty.

Su Wuming couldn't help but be so stupid that he forgot what he wanted to say just now, he just looked at the woman in front of him stupidly, and thought to himself, how can this woman be so beautiful, with a curly posture, a light face, so beautiful, and so beautiful, so beautiful that people are a little overwhelmed for a while.

Being looked at like this by Su Wuming, the woman finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "Hey, what kind of person are you, so bold, how dare you come here?" ”

The woman's angry appearance is also beautiful, but her anger woke up Su Wuming, Su Wuming saluted again and again and said: "Don't be angry, Su Wuming is in Xia, because she was very bored after lunch, so she came here to sit down, and asked the girl to forgive her sins, and I will leave." ”

As he spoke, without waiting for the woman to answer, he fled in a hurry, and it wasn't until Su Wuming returned to the music hall that he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask the woman's name just now.

And just when Su Wuming thought like this, the beauty by the lake couldn't help but be stunned, and thought to himself, is he the talented Su Wuming who moved Chang'an City?

The wind is still blowing, as if it wants to blow something away, but some things are imprinted in people's hearts, so they let the wind and rain blow, but I am afraid that it will not be eliminated, for example, a beautiful encounter.

The hall is a little noisy, those talented people who have had lunch sit together and chat, they talk about everything, all over the world, all the world, all the children, they are all scholars, they come from all over the world, they have something to talk about, they seem to be familiar at first sight, they even forget about it, they are opponents, they are going to fight in the talent competition.

Perhaps, this is the mind of the Tang people, the competition is important, but how can the so-called ranking compare to the freedom and style of friends together?

Su Wuming seemed incompatible with these people, he was still pondering, still obsessed, obsessed with that beautiful woman, obsessed with her incomparable demeanor. So much so that all the noise in his ears was automatically blocked by him.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, the fourth competition finally appeared on the stage.

The fourth time the questioner is Zhang Duan, Zhang Duan's age is not small, but because of the relationship between reading, although he is not young, but he still looks quite personable, a shirt is just right, the beard is trimmed neatly, if you leave in, you will feel that he even trims the eyebrows in half of the alignment, such a person, seems to be catering to his name, Zhang Duan, upright.

Zhang Duan is indeed a meticulous person, he even has what later generations jokingly called obsessive-compulsive disorder, no matter what, he is not allowed to mess around, or not to fight, his eyebrows should be repaired on both sides, his clothes should be worn the most decently, and even the seats of these talents, he has to sit on both sides, and the back one sits forward, to be aligned and neat.

This is a person who likes things more seriously, those judges seem to be accustomed to Zhang Duan's habit, so they didn't say anything, and those talents, although they were quite dissatisfied in their hearts, but because of the other party's noble status, they didn't dare to say much, only occasionally complained one or two sentences in private, Su Wuming found out that Zhang Duan had obsessive-compulsive disorder, he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and smiled indifferently, obsessive-compulsive disorder is very difficult to encounter, and a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder at such an age as Zhang Duan, Su Wuming is the first time to see it.

After Zhang Duan watched everyone sit down on it, he said: "Today's fourth competition, I will make the question, but my question is still the text, but it is different from the text, this time we compare a special theme, right, this is the old man I have studied for many years to study, today, let's try the witty Cheng dù of you." ”

After Zhang Duan said this, everyone raised their puzzlement, these people are used to reading poetry and songs, and they have never heard of pairs, and now they suddenly let them pair pairs, isn't it embarrassing for them?

And just when everyone was shouting like this, Su Wuming was happy in his heart, others didn't know what a pair was, but he couldn't understand it anymore, so he didn't worry about it at all, but he was a little confused, according to what he knew, the origin of the pair should be Meng Xu of Shu five generations later, more than a hundred and ten years later than now, how did this pair suddenly come up with a pair?

But soon, Su Wuming found a reason for himself, pairs, as the name suggests, are neat sentences for battles, and from ancient times to the present, whether it is poetry or songs, or poetry, etc., there are many sentences of battles, and these sentences of battles are often the most popular part of these poems and songs, Zhang Duan is over sixty years old and very knowledgeable, so it is not impossible to sort out those neat sentences of battles, and Meng Xu was born first.

Just when Su Wuming was thinking like this, Zhang Duan had already begun to explain to everyone what a pair is and how to do it right, these people are all talents, although they are not proficient in poetry and songs, but they are also amazingly talented, so when Zhang Duan said the rules he summed up, these talents understood, and they really understood, in other words, the so-called pair is just to pick out the sentences of the battle in the poetry and song, and the pair must first fight, and then the artistic conception.

Such a professor, everyone has liked it, the battle is short and concise, quite interesting, how can it not be liked?

After the rules are said, the next step is the competition, and the rules of the competition are like this, Zhang Duan gives each person a pair, and only those who come out can be promoted, of course, if Zhang Duan wants to be more than a few others, then that person must also continue, sorry, sorry, go out.

However, as for what situation will make Zhang Duan have a few more pairs against that person, it is not something that everyone can guess, maybe Zhang Duan looks at that person unpleasantly and wants to stump him out, maybe Zhang Duan is unhappy in his heart, and he just wants to embarrass him.

There are not many people left, only more than 20 people, so one pair at a time, it is not much time-consuming, everyone sits very neatly, Zhang Duan first made a pair to the person sitting in the first place, saying: Go gambling and drinking, one drink.

After Zhang Duan came up with such a pair, the talented man was a little nervous, but he was a talented man after all, and he quickly came up with one, so he hurriedly replied: "Sit and miss reading, five watches and five classics." ”

After Zhang Duan listened to the talent, he admired it very much, and after nodding slightly, he went to ask another person, the other person is Yuan Zhongwen, because of Yuan Zhen's fame, Zhang Duan was very polite to Yuan Zhongwen, but politely polite, the question still has to come out, and there is a more difficult one, saying: Ten thoughts in the heart, thinking about the son, thinking about the wife and thinking about the parents.

This pair is a little different from the battle in the poem, but what is needed is just a neat battle, Yuan Zhongwen thought for a while, and then blurted out: "Thank you for your inch, thank God for the king." ”

Yuan Zhongwen is in one place, the whole hall is just a voice of approval, not to mention how the battle is, just the meaning of Yuan Zhongwen's sentence, it is enough to say the previous one, now the talent here, that is not only the emperor's order? Even if the pair is suspected of slapping the emperor's ass, it sounds pleasing to the ear, what are they studying to gain fame, don't they just want to thank the king thankfully?

Zhang Duan was quite satisfied with Yuan Zhongwen's answer, because this answer was very much in line with the thoughts of their courtiers, and it was also unspeakable.
