Chapter Seventy-Eight: Guessing and Writing Poetry

I saw that Old Man Han walked to the entrance of the yarn tent and whispered to one of the maidservants for a while, and then returned to a chair on the right where everyone was standing and sat down, and did not say anything to everyone. Everyone was at a loss when they saw this, except for Li Tianyu and Chen Youliang who were muttering quietly, the rest of them were silent.

"Youliang, what's going on with this old man Han? Why does he seem to have a lot of respect for his daughter? ”

"This, I think it's probably because this Miss Han is so talented, even Old Man Han is ashamed of himself in front of her."

"Oh? Is it? Then she's even better than me. ”

"This, I think Tianyu's talent should not be below this Miss Han. Simply Tianyu will directly subdue this Miss Han for a while, marry her home, and study it slowly. ”

"That's what you said, I didn't think so."

It's noisy, anyway, do you want to subdue this Miss Han? Forget it, on the premise of not knowing the truth, in the relationship of being responsible for your own vital interests, you should forget it first.

While Li Tianyu and Chen Youliang were talking, the two maidservants had already entered the tent and whispered to Miss Han, but Miss Han in the tent still did not react. But when the maidservant had finished speaking, she handed over a few pieces of writing on the table to one of the maidservants, and the other blank pieces of paper and a brush to the other maidservant. Then the two maidservants came out of the tent with these pieces of paper and thought that the people would come.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next step is to carry out the final assessment of my young lady, a total of three questions. Dare to ask all of you, can you start now? ”

"Well, let's get started."

"That's it."

"Whatever."

"It doesn't matter, it's casual."

"Well, since you have no objections. That begins, first of all, the first question that my young lady has for all of you. These are two anagrams, and if you guess one of them, you will win the question. The first anagram is: Stone characters. The second anagram is: this word three horizontal, three vertical, three apostrophe, three pinch. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have a half-pillar of incense to think. If you think of the answer, you can signal it, and when the slave maid passes the paper in her hand to the childe, the child can write the answer on the paper. Another slave saw that everyone was beginning to think, and then said this.

After Yang Kang and the boy heard this first question, they began to think hard. I saw that the eyebrows of the two were almost squeezed into a ball. At this time, Chen Youliang also looked thoughtful, but it was not as exaggerated as the two of them, perhaps it was more curiosity than pressure for him. And our Li Tianyu is a cowardice who has nothing to do with himself, and continues to try to peek deeply into the legendary Miss Han who is known as the Four Uniques of Yangzhou and himself through this veil tent. In fact, Li Tianyu was already happy in his heart after listening to the servant girl read this topic, making trouble, I heard about this topic N times when I was in elementary school, is this also a cheating question?

And after the old man Han who was sitting on the side heard the anagram again, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a smile. So the old man Han began to look at the expressions of everyone present, and after seeing Li Tianyu's indifferent look, he couldn't help but be curious. In vain, he has read countless people in his life, and the young man in front of him is more and more teaching himself to be unable to see through. He knew his daughter's reputation in Yangzhou, but the feeling that this young man in front of him brought to him several times was far beyond his expectations.

After seeing it for a while, although everyone's expressions were not as entangled as they were at the beginning, they still looked like they were meditating. Of course, Li Tianyu is still the same look, but he is already imagining the effect of the main and left views of Miss Han's figure and the face.

After another moment, I saw our maidservant with the empty paper speaking hungry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time for half a pillar of incense has come. I also ask you to write down the answers in your hearts on paper. ”

So the maidservant girl started with the son, and asked everyone to write the answers on the paper in turn. Since Old Man Han was also at the scene, the sons didn't dare to cheat. In Li Tianyu's words, this is not simple, you can judge it by directly looking at the strokes of the person who wrote the answer before. However, he ignored one point, except for him and Chen Youliang, all of them were honest scholars, and they were ashamed to do this. And Chen Youliang didn't have Li Tianyu's rich experience in cheating exams in later generations, so he didn't expect this.

Old Man Han has been watching everyone's performance from the sidelines, including when everyone is writing answers. I saw that when everyone wrote the answers, they only wrote one word, and even Li Tianyu, who wrote the last, only wrote one word. However, after the maidservant girl accepted the paper with the answer and handed it to him, after he read it, he couldn't help but nod and smile at the paper written by Li Tianyu. I saw that there was a word "Sen" written on that piece of paper, and the other three pieces of paper all had the word "right" written on them.

"Tianyu, how many have you guessed?" Chen Youliang saw that the maid had accepted everyone's answers, and after walking towards Old Man Han, he asked Li Tianyu in a low voice.

"I, my level is limited, and I guessed one."

"Could it be that you also guessed a 'right' word?"

"What's the 'right' word? I don't know. ”

"Isn't it 'right'? Isn't that the first riddle 'right'? ”

"Oh, you said the first one. I wasn't sure, I only guessed the word 'rock', and I didn't know if it was right or not, so I didn't write it. ”

"'Rock'?" Rock'? Oh~~ I see, Brother Tian, you are really too smart. Oh, alas, I guessed wrong. At this time, Yang Kang, who was on Chen Youliang's side, also heard what the two said, so he also said the same.

"Wait a minute, this brother, why is this mystery the word 'rock'?" The boy next to Yang Kang couldn't help but ask when he heard them talk about the mystery being 'rock'.

"The stone character is out, so the head of this 'out' is the 'mountain', and the stone word is not the word 'rock'?"

"Wait a minute, Tianyu, you just said that you didn't guess this question, so isn't it the latter question? What do you guess? ”

"Well, I barely guessed the word 'Sen', and I don't know if it's right?"

"Sen?!" The three of them said at the same time. But not long after the three of them spoke, they all came to their senses. Then, Yang Kang and the boy felt sorry for a while.

However, after the maidservant handed over the paper to Old Man Han, Old Man Han only glanced at it and did not announce any results, although everyone already knew the results. Then the slave who had written the question put the paper of the first question at the bottom of the paper and began to read the second question.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to the second question. Please use at least one thing in spring, summer, autumn and winter, mirrors, flowers and moons, wind and rain and clouds to compose a poem. Or ask you to compose a poem on numbers from one to ten. On this topic, the sons have a stick of incense to think about. ”

Writing poetry is not new to Datang, and it can be regarded as the trend of Datang. However, after hearing this request from Miss Han, everyone couldn't help but be stumped. However, the old man Han on the side didn't think so after hearing it. On the surface, this topic is a bit demanding, but in fact, the main body of the poem has been roughly determined, and if these words are indispensable in the poem, the rest is to skillfully string them together. For those who are very experienced in composing poetry, it makes it easier to compose poetry.

"I don't need a stick of incense for a long time, I give up ......" Chen Youliang saw that this question was so insulated from himself, so he wanted to give up directly.

"I don't want to write such a simple poem. In fact, You Liang meant this, a few days ago, You Liang just wrote a poem like this. I don't know when I sleep in spring, and I smell birds everywhere. The sound of wind and rain comes at night, and the flowers fall to know how much. Right, Hello? That's what you did that day, didn't you? ”

"Ah, yes! That's it. ”

Everyone was stunned by Li Tianyu's attack, what is this performance? The two maidservants didn't know what to do next. To whom should this poem be counted? And Old Man Han has been paying attention to the two of them since the moment he hit Chen Youliang and said that he was going to give up, but he didn't look at Chen Youliang much at all, just stared at Li Tianyu while stroking his beard and smiling, that smile was very meaningful. Miss Han in the gauze tent was still sitting upright and kept waving the brush in her hand, unaffected by this sudden scene.

"Brother Tian, you ......"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you, Brother Yang. I forgot to read out the poem you made the other day. Don't be angry, this will help you, such a simple poem can only be read by me for you. Looking at two or three miles, there are four or five smoke villages. There are six or seven pavilions, eighty or ninety flowers. Okay, I'll read it out for you, and you're still glaring at me. Don't stare at it, isn't it just to use this poem to make you embarrassed in front of everyone! The big husband dares to be just right. ”

At this moment, the boy was completely dumbfounded. He wasn't even left with a fart. Anyway, you kid will die if you don't say a damn word, even if this poem is written by themselves, they don't plan to say, are you nosy kid doing? There is a kind of recitation of another song, and it will be said that it was written by Lao Tzu. Hmph, you have to finish reading it to them, what should you do now?

And our honest Yang Kang didn't dare to say another word after seeing Li Tianyu say this. On the one hand, this poem was indeed not written by himself, and when he saw that Li Tianyu couldn't help but say that this poem was written by himself, he was a little happy in his heart, after all, he was able to pass the test. On the other hand, he didn't want to deceive like this in front of Old Man Han in his heart, but when he thought that Miss Han was also here, he had no choice but to acquiesce like this. It can be seen that this Yang Kang is also struggling and happy in his heart.

Good boy, do you think you can fool me by saying this? But I didn't expect you kid to come up with these two poems in such a short time. It seems that your talent is also comparable to Di'er.

And when Miss Han, who was sitting in the gauze tent at this moment, heard this poem again, she stopped and was holding her right hand with a pen. I saw that Miss Han closed her eyes, and silently recited the two poems that Li Tianyu had just recited, and after reading them silently, she opened her eyes again, and then continued to pick up the pen and wave it. Of course, no one present could see this.

"Then, this son, after you recited these two poems for these two sons. What about yourself? ”
