Chapter Eighty-Four: Fighting Poetry Bets

In the face of the provocation of a group of gentlemen, Han Lie didn't even raise his eyes, and it was not too early to see that it was too early, so Han Lie got up and said: "It's a blessing to hear Miss Zhen's beautiful piano music today, but there are still mundane things today, please let Rong retire first." ”

"General Han is busy, and my little sister doesn't dare to stay for a long time." Mi Zhen rose up, and the prime minister sent him off.

"Rough Takeo, it seems that this is not enough." Seeing that Han Lie had directly ignored their provocation, Wang Xiang immediately sneered and stood up and mocked.

"Thou shalt try one more word." Compared to Han Lie's calmness, Dian Wei couldn't help but stare at everyone angrily.

"Why, do you dare to do it?" With a little bit of alcohol, and knowing that Han Lie was a subordinate of his father Tao Qian, Tao Ying also stood up and replied with a sneer in order to show his manliness.

Han Lie really didn't have any interest in dealing with these kids with excess hormones, but seeing that they were treating him as a soft persimmon in order to show themselves, he couldn't help but stop and asked, "Do you want to compare poetry with me?" ”

"Why, you don't dare?" Seeing that Han Lie finally responded, Cao Liang asked arrogantly.

"Since it's a competition, there should be a lottery, let's talk about it, what if you lose?" Han Lie looked at the group of boys standing opposite with a playful expression, these guys may not have any skills, but there should still be some resources in the realm of Xuzhou.

"How about the Mingyue Song and Dance Workshop set up wine for three days as a bet?" Cao Liang heard that Han Lie wanted a lottery, and blurted out the gathering place where they went most often in Tancheng.

However, as soon as he said this, he saw the strange eyes cast by everyone, and he reacted that in front of Miss Mi Zhen, he took going to Mingyue Song and Dance Workshop as a bet, which was really too inappropriate, but this would change his words and not come, but fortunately, Han Lie spoke in time to alleviate his embarrassment.

"Yes, as long as I lose, I should pay for all the sons here to go to the banquet, but if I win, I hope that all the sons here can agree to sell me 5,000 stone of grain each? Of course, the prices are according to the market price, after the matter is completed, how about inviting all the sons to go to the Mingyue Song and Dance Workshop for three days? ”

The reason why Han Lie agreed to their competition was that he was ready to use the identity of these sons and brothers to buy a batch of grain for himself, and when he met Tao Qian the last time, although he told about the lack of food, Tao Qian replied in an official tone, saying that Xuzhou was also short of grain, and he could allocate up to 10,000 stone of grain.

10,000 stone of grain is a drop in the bucket for Han Lie at present, so it is imperative to buy grain, Tao Qian did not object to this, but also said that he would not support it, in this way, Han Lie naturally could not buy grain from the official warehouse, but it was quite difficult to buy grain from the hands of traders and buy grain in large quantities.

He went to visit Chen Jue's father and son at that time, hoping to get the support of the other party, but Chen Jue's father and son didn't even let him enter the mansion, but Mi Zhu should also have food in his hands, and he is also the most likely object to buy food at the moment, but if he can get resources from these sons, it will be a lot less trouble.

After a short exchange, Tao Ying and Cao Liang, who had already prepared a few poems, were confident that they would not lose, and secondly, in their opinion, with their family's ability, it was not a problem to sell five thousand stone of grain to Han Lie at the market price, and Tao Ying said at the moment: "Okay, just according to what you said." ”

"Miss Zhen, since Mr. Tao has agreed to the gambling contract, how about you please testify about this?" Han Lie set his eyes on Mi Zhen Dao, he didn't dare to believe all the character of these sons, but if Mi Zhen was a witness, he believed that these gentlemen who were eager to behave in front of the beauties would definitely not lose their trust easily.

Mi Zhen has always been interested in paying attention to everyone's actions, which will be when listening to Han Lie's words, she finally realized that Han Lie's true purpose is to buy food, for Han Lie's current situation, she got some heard from her brother Mi Zhu.

At present, Han Lie forcibly moved 60,000 people from Junan, plus the 30,000 people brought by Donglai, and the 20,000 people in Licheng himself, so that the population under his control is as many as 110,000 people, so many people, all of a sudden, poured into a city, the early food input must be huge, if you can't feed the people, then so many people can't live in peace, and if you can't live in peace, it is naturally impossible to be happy, so if you want to settle so many people, the first problem that Han Lie has to face is to solve the problem of eating for the people.

"Since Lord Han can trust me, my little sister should be willing to be this witness." Mi Zhen's first impression of Han Lie was good, after all, Han Lie was born with a handsome skin, which is easy to make people feel close, and Han Lie showed that confident temperament, and these gentlemen in front of him were obviously different, so it was easier to arouse Mi Zhen's favor.

"We have no objections." Tao Ying gladly accepted Mi Zhen, a witness.

"Today is a day of celebration, the poems made should be appropriate, from now on, the time of half a pillar of incense, each of them will give a poem, and everyone will comment on the quality of it, of course, if one party even writes it, it will be directly judged as losing." Wang Xiang rolled his eyes and proposed with a smile.

"That's very good, Lord Han, please." Tao Ying stroked his palms and smiled, looking full of confidence, in fact, he had memorized a poem, Wang Xiang had already found someone to write it just now, and when he went out to the toilet just now, he had memorized it.

"Don't be in a hurry, poetry needs an artistic conception atmosphere, how can you just open your mouth?" Although Han Lie wondered where the other party's confidence came from, in order to paralyze Tao Ying and the others, he pretended to frown and thought deeply, if you want to talk about poetry, there are at least a hundred Tang and Song poems in Han Lie's mind that can be easily obtained at any time.

However, the poems that can match the situation of a couple still need to be screened, which is why Han Lie pretended to be worried.

While Han Lie was pondering, Tao Ying shook his head and chanted: "My Fair Bride, bells and drums are ringing, welcoming the son, IKEA and IKEA are ......."

The poetry of four-character short sentences is a poetic style that has been handed down to the present day in the pre-Qin era, but the two Han Dynasty Chengping, Yuefu poetry gradually became popular, and by the end of the Han Dynasty, the five-character poetry gradually began to become the mainstream, and even the seven-word poetry was recorded.

For example, the "Song of Lou Hu" and "Song of Shangjun" contained in the "Book of Han" in the Western Han Dynasty, as well as Sima Xiangru's "Fan Jiang Chapter", Shi You's "Urgent Chapter" and so on are all seven-character popular rhymes.

It can be said that during the Jian'an period after the end of the Han Dynasty, until the north and south of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the poetry culture of the Han people also began to show colorful changes.

Tao Ying's poem, it can be said that there is no bright spot, the traces of imitation are self-evident, Han Lie didn't care about this, after all, writing poetry requires talent and talent, and he can't make it himself, but fortunately, there are a lot of poems that can be plagiarized in his mind, since he is plagiarized, Han Lie will naturally not delve into the quality of Tao Ying's poems.

"The red candle was stopped in the cave room last night, and I will worship my aunt in front of Xiaotang. Makeup asked the husband in a low voice, is there a thrush depth? ”

Under Han Lie's deep groaning, he finally snatched out a poem that was appropriate to the occasion in his mind, although it was seven words, but this poem expressed the various moods of a bride's first marriage, and it was definitely the most appropriate poem at the moment.

When Han Lie's poem came out, the ridicule on the faces of Tao Ying, Cao Liang and others was undisguised, but Wang Xiang, who was still proficient in Chinese, changed his face, although Han Lie used cold seven words, but this word was compared with Tao Yingyi, and the judgment was high.

"A good poem, although it is seven words, is full of deep meaning for the occasion." Mi Zhen, as a young lady of the Mi family, has read a lot since she was a child, and her literary style is much higher than that of Tao Ying Cao Liang and his gang of straw bales, so as soon as Han Lie's poem came out, she read it lightly, and she praised it softly.

"Wang Xiang, our poems are really inferior to him?" Tao Ying heard Mi Zhen's praise, and he was originally full of confidence, so he couldn't help but set his eyes on Wang Xiang.

"Compared to the depth of the situation, we are really inferior." With Mi Zhen testifying, Wang Xiang didn't dare to lie against his will, so he had to tell the truth.

"No, let's compare another song." Tao Ying, who was unwilling to lose like this, immediately shouted again.

"Tao Gongzi wants to cheat?" Han Lie's eyes stared at Tao Ying's face like electricity, and said coldly: "When there is chaos today, the Han family is dying, as a minister and a filial son, you should put your family and country and all the people first, and you should be a mere name, but you will leave the righteousness behind, how can it be done by loyal ministers and filial sons?" ”

After some impassioned words fell, Han Lie walked to the table, waved his pen on one side of the table, and then abandoned the pen and said: "Three days later, I want to see the food, and I will give you a lot of money, I hope that you will keep your promises, otherwise don't blame me Han Lie for turning his face in the future." With that, Han Lie took Dian Wei and strode out of the East Wing Hall, leaving a group of sons who looked at each other.

"Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect the fifty states of the Western Regions? Please go to Yuntai Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? Looking at Han Lie who was leaving, Mi Zhen curiously walked to the table where Han Lie waved just now, and looked at the pen and ink words left on the table, but she couldn't help but read it out softly.

"Such a big ambition, this Han Lie is really not an ordinary person." After reading this poem, Mi Zhen's phoenix eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of brilliance, and some sons and brothers in the East Wing Hall also rose a trace of respect when they saw this majestic poem.

Tao Ying, who had lost his face, snorted coldly with a gloomy face, and said, "Wanhu Hou, he is also worthy." ”

"Tao Gongzi, since there is a gambling contract, the matter of grain and grass should be obeyed." Regarding Tao Ying's performance, Mi Zhen shook her head secretly, but she still maintained a kind smile on her face and said, but she said these words completely out of the intention of helping Han Lie, I don't know why, although it was only the first time to meet, but the bearing and ambition shown by Han Lie deeply attracted her.

"Cao San, you will take the lead in this matter, today I am a little unwell, so I will retire first." No matter how unwise Tao Ying is, he will feel that he has no face to stay, so he arches his hands and brushes his sleeves away.

As soon as Tao Ying left, these sons and brothers also left one after another.
