Hundreds of thousands of voices move at will, and the mountain flowers are red and purple trees. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I knew that the lock listened to the golden cage, and it was not as free as the forest.
This is a poem by Ouyang Xiu, in which the thrush does not envy the golden cage to express the yearning for freedom, and the artistic conception is quite high.
After Chen Jing finished chanting, everyone was stunned.
thought that Chen Jing chanted a poem so quickly, it must be a bullshit limerick, but what they didn't expect was that Chen Jing's poem was not only not a limerick, but also very meaningful, and it was by no means comparable to mediocrity.
This can make them feel pressure in their hearts, so they don't care about making fun of Chen Jing, and hurriedly ponder and solve the problem, in fact, they don't care about the one or two pieces of silver per person, but if they lose to Chen Jing, how bad will it be to spread it?
And just when everyone was pondering, Murong Qing's expression was slightly tight, Chen Jing's poem made her think of her fate, in fact, she was a famous prostitute in the Qinglou in the capital before, she was like the thrush bird in Chen Jing's poem, even if she was admired by many men every day, she still yearned for freedom outside.
So after saving enough money, she redeemed herself and came to this place in Wolong County.
Chen Jing's poem made her empathize, she could understand the feeling of yearning for freedom in the forest, so even if several other people hadn't written it yet, she already had the answer in her heart.
And when she had this thought, she couldn't help but take a look at Chen Jing, she had also seen Chen Jing in Wolong County before, but Chen Jing at that time was always full of alcohol, which made people tend to avoid it, but now he is calm and relaxed, but he has a temperament that is rare for talented people in Beijing.
Just thinking about it, several other people have already chanted their poems, but these people's poems are either a little better than limerick poems, or they borrowed Chen Jing's idea of admiring freedom, and also wrote that thrushes yearn for mountains and forests.
But even if they are imitation, they are not as good as Chen Jing.
But despite this, they still looked full of confidence, because in their opinion, Murong Qing had the best relationship with them, how could Murong Qing favor Chen Jing, the son-in-law?
But just when these people were full of ambition, Murong Qing ordered Chen Jing's thrush to win.
"Since everyone asked me to be the referee, then I can't be biased, among your poems, I think Chen Gongzi's poem is the best."
Murong Qing didn't explain much, since she was asked to be the referee to decide who was good and who was bad, then she just said who was good and who was bad, so why bother to explain more?
When Lu Fei and the others heard this, they couldn't believe their ears, they had a very good relationship with Murong Qing, especially Yang Rong, who was even better, but why did she choose Chen Jing to win?
And Murong Qing being the referee is something that they all agree with, if they make a fuss at this time, it doesn't count, but it seems that they have no quality, and after several people glanced at each other, they each took out a piece or two of silver from their bodies.
Chen Jing took their broken silver, and bowed his hand slightly, he was about to leave, he had no intention of making money from this, the reason why he became a copyist was forced by no money, plus his own one or two silver, he now has eight taels of silver, and with money, there is no need for him to compare.
Chen Jing was about to leave, but Lu Fei suddenly stopped him.
"Chen Jing is slow, we are comparing poetry, but now we have not compared poetry." Lu Fei lost to Chen Jing in poetry, and he was unwilling, but he felt that his words were better than poetry, so he wanted to win Chen Jing in words.
Chen Jing didn't understand what Lu Fei meant, he smiled: "It's okay to compare words, but this time I want to increase the chips, how about the loser give the winner five taels of silver?" ”
As soon as they heard that they wanted five taels of silver, some of these people became timid, although they could also take out five taels of silver, but it was not a small amount, if they lost, they were afraid that they would have to tighten their belts in the next few days.
Seeing them like this, Chen Jing said: "If you think five taels of silver is too much, you can choose to quit, but don't call yourself a talented person in the future." ”
was so provoked by Chen Jing, several other people suddenly stood up: "Who is too much?" It's just five taels of silver. ”
As a man, I can't stand being called cowardly and have no money, so even though they are very distressed about money, they still stand up.
Chen Jing showed an appreciative look, nodded slightly, and said to Murong Qing: "Miss Murong has a question." ”
Seeing Chen Jing like this, Murong Qing secretly wondered if this person was really talented, thinking in his heart, he already said: "Today we came to enjoy this early spring scenery, since we want to write words, let's take spring scenery as the topic." ”
After Murong Qing finished speaking, the others immediately fell into deep thought, but Chen Jing sat down in a hurry, it was almost evening at this time, but the sun was very good, there were willows by the stream, trees in the distance, flowers blooming, a group of butterflies and bees flying among the flowers, everything was so beautiful.
Chen Jing didn't think about how to compose lyrics, but sat down to enjoy the beautiful scenery, Murong Qing saw him like this, his brows condensed slightly, and said: "Chen Gongzi just wrote the poem in one go, why is he not in a hurry to compose lyrics at this time?" ”
Chen Jingdao: "Does Miss Murong feel that the scenery around her is very beautiful? ”
Murong Qing was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Chen Jing meant, what did it have to do with the beautiful scenery around him if he wanted him to compose lyrics?
"It's beautiful."
"The words that Miss Murong asked us to write are related to the spring scene, since we want to write the spring scene, if we don't appreciate the spring scenery to let ourselves have some understanding, how can we write good words?"
As he spoke, Chen Jing pointed to his head with his hand: "You can't write words with a soul out of thin imagination." ”
Chen Jing talked eloquently, but Murong Qing was speechless, and at this time, Qin Wan and Xiao Zhao were still sitting by the stream, and they all listened to what Chen Jing said.
"Miss, can my uncle win?"
"Of course you can win, but it's just a word."
Qin Wan is still very confident in Chen Jing, he is a time-traveling person, he has more than a thousand years of knowledge than these people, if he can't even copy the first word, then he will be too much of a failure.
But just when Qin Wan was full of confidence in Chen Jing, the others had already chanted their words one after another, and they were really well written, but Chen Jing was still enjoying the surrounding scenery, and even took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the fragrance of flowers into his stomach.
Seeing that Chen Jing had not groaned, Qin Wan was also faintly worried, and finally won a few taels of silver, but don't spit it out because he couldn't write words.
Soon, the others had finished chanting their words, and after they finished chanting, they turned their eyes to Chen Jing, Lu Fei pursed his lips and snorted: "Chen Jing, we have finished chanting, but you are still enjoying the scenery, don't you have no understanding of the surrounding scenery?" ”
"And the words of the soul, phew, you should write one."
Just when everyone was sparse Chen Jing, Chen Jing slowly stood up from the ground: "There is." ”
