Chapter 6: Good Poetry
Yu'er tiptoed quietly behind the screen and looked forward, seeing that everyone's eyes were falling on a young scholar she didn't know in front of the hall, so she quietly tiptoed into the Liuhua Hall.
Liu Wan'er thought hard for a long time, wrote more than a dozen poems successively, and finally chose two poems that she felt were the most appropriate regardless of the subject matter, and asked her to quietly send them to her second brother Liu Rong.
After meeting once, although Yu'er was quite ashamed of Li Xi, she even wished that Li Xi would be ugly again, and wished that her master would cancel the marriage contract between Miss and the prodigal son, but Miss's mind was iron-clad, and she was smart and unwilling to persuade her, so she came over to send the poem, and she obediently obeyed.
At this time, when Li Fang finished reading his poem and everyone praised him, no one noticed that a person suddenly slipped in the back hall, even if he caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, he thought it was just a maid delivering food, and he didn't care.
Liu Rong has been waiting anxiously, seeing that Yu'er slipped in, he looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention to him, got up and walked to the screen to face her, while taking the small paper ball formed by the poem manuscript into his sleeve, and whispered: "Why did you come, I thought your young lady was clumsy, so long!" β
Yu'er pouted, "Our young lady cares about it, and she writes more than a dozen songs in one breath, and she can't be sure, until she looks at it just now, and then she reluctantly chooses two songs, oh, you take it to him quickly, lest he lose someone later, but it will make our young lady feel uncomfortable." β
Liu Rong smiled narrowly when he heard this, nodded and was about to turn around, but at this time, he suddenly heard his old man say: "Zi said, I have heard for a long time that you are the head of the talented people in my Shuzhou counties, how about it, can you get something today?" β
At that moment, his footsteps immediately paused there, turned his head and glanced at Yu'er, both of them had a helpless look in their eyes, and they both thought in their hearts, in the end, it was still a step too late.
Liu Rong shook his head, sighed unknowingly, and muttered to himself: "This is fate!" β
β»β»β»
"This is fate!"
Li Wei sighed and looked up at the sky, laughing silently.
And Li Fang turned his head and stared at Li Xi excitedly, his heart was almost uncontrollable with joy, but he just turned over and over again and thought excitedly: "This idiot is going to be embarrassed again!" β
Liu Bo's words fell, and although everyone at the scene was silent for a while, they were in reverie in their hearts.
Li Xi became stupid, even if no one was deliberately helping him publicize it, after the situation on the day of the poetry meeting, in this Wenlin, everyone already knew about it. And Liu Bo lives in Shuzhou Sima, and his daughter is well-known for her talent and appearance, and there is an endless stream of people who come to ask for relatives, so about Li Xi and her marriage contract is almost everyone knows.
Seeing Liu Bo suddenly throw such a question to his future son-in-law, many people were so excited that they almost beat the wine cup by mistake!
What's wrong? Could it be that the always stubborn Liu Lao Co has also begun to move his mind?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's no wonder that Liu Laoru did this, no matter who he was, could he be willing to marry his charming baby daughter to a stupid boy who obviously had a bleak future?
Therefore, knowing that the other party can no longer write poems, but still asking questions in court, this is also the proper meaning of the question.
Do you still write poetry? For better or worse, at least you, a great talent, have to take something out to deal with, don't you? If you can't even complete such a simple request, and you can't even deal with it, how can you still have the face to be called the number one talent? Why do you still have the face to continue to keep that marriage contract and delay Miss Liu's life?
So, if you can't do it, just retreat!
As soon as they thought of this, the young students in the audience who had long admired Miss Liu Wan'er of the Liu family, and of course the parents of many people, suddenly tightened their hearts.
Especially the day before yesterday, there were many people present at the poetry meeting next to the Jiang Pavilion, even if they didn't go, they often learned a thing or two from the mouth of others, there were two topics at that time, one of which was [pipa], although the pipa and the gonghou are two different musical instruments, this topic is not the other topic, it is said that it is not connected at all, but after all, the two times before and after are propositions of musical instruments, after all, when the poem is written, after all, many literary and theoretical aspects are connected to each other.
So, the last time he used the pipa as the theme, Li Xi didn't get a word, and he lost a big ugly face in front of hundreds of people, how could he not behave this time?
There are many people who think of this, so at this time, they turn their heads to look at the occasion of Liu Bo Liu's rough selection, as well as the topic he proposed, everyone can't help but think that this Liu Lao's mind is not rough at all!
At this time, in the midst of all the attention, Li Xi looked as if he was frightened, stood up in a panic, couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he showed a shy smile and said, "This, this...... Late born stupid, just now I heard the masterpiece of the princes here, my heart was panicked, although I barely got a clumsy song, but what, what ...... I really don't dare to be ugly, I don't dare to be ugly! β
When everyone heard this, they looked at his embarrassment, and they didn't know who was the first to laugh out loud, anyway, the scene was soon full of laughter, and at this time, the two old men sitting behind Li Xi deliberately spoke: "Brother Zi, don't be afraid, everyone knows that your masterpiece must be 'clumsy', you can rest assured that it is, I will not make fun of it!" But he laughed.
When everyone heard this, they all laughed again, and Li Fang laughed the most happily.
Li Xi snorted coldly in his heart when he heard this, but the smile on his face became more and more cramped, and he didn't even seem to have a place to land his hands and feet.
Even Zhou Qiong, the assassin Shi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this at this time: "It's okay, just say it, as long as it's not a masterpiece like "You Qingcheng Mountain", it must be good." β
The crowd laughed again.
There is an allusion here, there is a person named Yang Zhao in the local Jinyuan County, it is said that the ancestor also served as a big official, but his generation has long since declined, and it is his turn, and now he is just a floating wave in Jinyuan County, and I don't know if he has read a few years, I only know that he knows a few words, but there is no ink in his stomach.
However, this person also likes to deal with readers, and he has a very good face, and he went to Qingcheng Mountain with a few readers, and he couldn't stand the ridicule of those readers, so he also made a poem called "You Qingcheng Mountain", which said:
From a distance, Qingcheng is black and mushy, thin on the top and thick on the bottom. One day it was turned upside down, and the bottom was thin and the top was thick.
After listening to this poem, his friends laughed almost on the spot, and turned around and said it as a joke, but in three or five days, this poem spread all over Jinyuan, and it is now said that this poem has long been known to everyone, that is, Zhou Qiong, who just arrived in office last winter, can use it as an allusion, which shows that it is widely distributed and has a great influence.
At this time, hearing this allusion from the mouth of the assassin historian, everyone present reviewed the old and learned the new, and naturally they all laughed back and forth.
At this time, Liu Rong and Yu'er, who were standing in front of the screen in the hall, could only shake their heads in unison and smile bitterly.
Liu Rong sighed, thinking that Li Xi's kid was actually compared to Yang Zhao by Lord Shi, it seems that today's shame is a shame! I think he was a famous talent in Jinyuan County before the tenth month, but I don't want to end up like this now, the changes before and after are so big, it's really embarrassing to think about it!
Although Yu'er didn't like Li Xi's floating waves in her heart, but in the end, the girl's heart was soft, and looking at his embarrassment at this time, she couldn't help but whisper to Liu Rong: "Second son, you have always been smart, just find a way to help him, otherwise our young lady will find out later, and she should be distressed again!" β
Liu Rong smiled bitterly when he heard this, "In front of everyone's eyes, what good can I do!" β
At this time, Li Xi saw that everyone was laughing happily, but he didn't have this allusion to Yang Zhao's poetry in his mind, so he was a little puzzled by everyone's laughter, so he bent down to look at his third uncle Li Qiu.
Li Qiu was also looking at him with helplessness and pity on his face at this time, and when he saw him looking at himself, he immediately remembered the section on his amnesia, knowing that he probably forgot this allusion that should have been very familiar, but there were so many people at the moment, and he couldn't explain anything, so he simply turned his head, and he really couldn't bear to see his nephew being teased.
At this time, perhaps Zhou Qiong also felt that this teasing was a bit excessive, so he said: "It's just a joke, it shouldn't interrupt Shixing, Lord Sima, please continue with your poetry." β
Liu Bo said yes when he heard this, and then turned his head and said: "What Lord Thorn Shi said is that you shouldn't interrupt Zi Yue's poetry, you must know that Zi Yu's poetry is excellent." Of course, even when the talent is also poor, the occasional miss is nothing, Zi said, you have a good poem and read it! β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, knowing that Liu Bo was going to take care of it, no matter how Li Xi was still his future son-in-law after all, he deliberately wanted to make him embarrassed on the spot, as a future father-in-law, Liu Bo must also make a look of caring for his juniors to show his innocence in this matter.
There are many old and refined characters among the people, and when they heard the words, they naturally echoed it, and they talked about what "people have misses and horses have stumbled", and even stabbed Shi Zhou Qiong smiled at this time and said, "Good or bad, as long as you have courage, it is a good poem", the implication of the words, everyone is sure that what Li Xi read out must be something unbearable, so although he is good in his mouth, he is still smiling and groaning on his face, just waiting to see Li Xi make a joke.
At this time, although Li Xi couldn't figure out what the so-called "You Qingcheng Mountain Feeling" just now was, but at this time, the disdain and ridicule in the eyes of everyone looked at him, but he was inch by inch.
At that moment, he looked very embarrassed, and reluctantly said: "Since this is the case, that night will be ugly!" β
Everyone laughed and laughed, and said chaotically: "You please, you please......"
At that moment, Li Xi only smiled shyly when he heard this, and then heard him chant slowly: "Wu Si Shu Tong Zhang...... Well, Wu Sishu runs through the ages, and the empty mountains and clouds do not flow. Jiang E cries bamboo [***] sorrow, Wu Ji Chinese bullet gonghou. Kunshan jade shattered phoenix called, hibiscus wept and smiled. The cold light melts in front of the twelve doors, and the twenty-three silks move the Purple Emperor. Nuwa refines the stone to make up for the sky, and the stone breaks the sky and teases the autumn rain. Dreaming of the gods and goddesses in the sacred mountain, the old fish danced the wave and thin Jiao dance. Wu Zhi sleepless leans on the laurel tree, and flies the wet cold rabbit with bare feet. β
When he read the first sentence, there were still people talking and laughing at the scene, and there was still a touch of contempt in everyone's eyes.
At this time, Li Xi, who had finished reading the revised version of "Li Pinggong Hou Yin", arched his hand at Liu Bo and Zhou Qiong on the main seat, and still had that shy smile on his face, and seemed to be very embarrassed and said: "The clumsy work is really unbearable to the ears of the princes, but it makes the princes laugh and laugh!" Then he turned around and sat down.
The shock of the famous story through the ages is really powerful, until Li Xi has already sat down, and everyone in the field who seems to be petrified began to gradually come back to their senses one by one, and the scene finally began to have a trace of movement, but I don't know where to pop out of a foul mouth, "This is still called 'clumsy', if this is all 'clumsy', I will simply close the pen and forget it!" β
Everyone was shocked to wake up by eating this voice, and then they suddenly came back to their senses, and immediately turned their heads one after another, staring at Li Xi with blazing eyes as if they were looking at a monster, their expressions were full of disbelief!
Yu'er didn't understand poetry, she found that the audience was silent after Li Xi finished reading, and she had the heart to worry about him, so she immediately grabbed Liu Rong's sleeve and asked quietly: "How is the poem he wrote?" Isn't it bad? β
It's just that at this time, before Liu Rong answered, someone had already taken the case.
Zhou Qiong, the assassin, also looked extremely surprised just now, and after listening to it for so much, he slowly recovered from the shock brought to him by this poem, but at this time, his face was full of admiration, and he shouted: "Okay! Good! Good! β
After all, he is also a genius who has been in high school since he was seventeen years old, and his love for poetry is extremely intense, and when he heard such a good poem, he was so excited that he forgot for a while, and just stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Bo's sleeve and said: "What is the rhyme of scratching people, this is the rhyme of scratching people!" What a Kunshan jade broken phoenix called, what a hibiscus cried Lu Xianglan smiled, and a good stone broke the sky to tease the autumn rain! It's really good every word, every word is good, it's really hard for him to think about it! What a poem, a good poem! β
He had three "good" words in a row, followed by three "good poems" in a row, but Li Xi did not look very proud, and when he heard the words, he just stood up and smiled shyly, and arched his hand: "Lord Thorn Shi praised it falsely, he didn't dare to be it in his later life, he didn't dare to be it, and the princess laughed." β
It's just that at this time, the shy smile on his face fell in the eyes of everyone around him, but no one dared to make fun of it anymore, and everyone's eyes were full of surprise and admiration. At this time, some people even raised their thumbs and praised loudly: "Look at the demeanor of others!" β
Liu Rong only turned around at this time, and he didn't have time to collect the chaotic thoughts in his mind just now, so he just tugged at his sleeve, stretched out his hand and pointed at everyone in the court, turned his head and said to Yu'er: "Did you hear that?" Do you think it's good? Silly girl, go back and report the good news! β
"Oh!" Yu'er had already heard the admiration of everyone in the court, and she was also happy for her own young lady in her heart, and when Liu Rong reminded her, she immediately pulled out her feet and ran back, so she didn't hear Liu Rong's last small mutter.
"How is that possible? Isn't it impossible to write poetry? β
Immediately, he patted his head, looked like he suddenly realized, shook his head and sighed: "This kid is really pretending, he actually deceived me, well, it's yin enough!" β
In his clever brain, the reason why Li Xi frequently made a fool of himself in the past days was, of course, deliberate. And then think about the shyness that Li Xi has always hung on his face these days, where is he making a fool of himself, it is obvious that he is pretending to be stupid and looking at everyone stupidly, you are singing and I am making a fool of myself in front of him!
He's not the only smart guy in the field.
In the rush of everyone to praise Li Xi's poem, soon someone bypassed this bend, and most of the eyes of everyone looking at Li Xi were a little ashamed.
At this time, there was even a bearded man who listened to the explanation of a friend next to him, and seemed to understand the ins and outs, and immediately blushed, and then in the midst of everyone's discussions, he stood up all of a sudden, and walked to Li Xi in a few steps, and his head was a big swing, seeing Li Xi standing up and looking at himself with a puzzled face, he said with shame on his face: "A certain surname Dai Mingjun, at the banquet, I learned that my brother had only lost everything, and I had made a humiliating speech with others just now, and I was really ashamed to think about it at this time. Please say that my brother doesn't remember the villain, and forgive me! β
As soon as Li Xi heard this, he quickly stretched out his hand to hug him, and immediately felt that this person was frank and chivalrous, as long as he found that he was wrong, even in front of tens of millions of people, he still apologized directly to others, and his attitude was frank and sincere, speaking of a thousand years later, this kind of person is rare, it is really ancient!
But speaking of which, this kind of thing that can make everyone look respectful and even be a guest just because of a poem can only happen in this Tang Dynasty where poetry is its life.
At this time, because the bearded man suddenly stood up and played like this, there were many people who had spoken disrespectfully just now and their faces became more and more ashamed, so they even stabbed Shi Zhou Qiong, and his face was also a little spicy at this time, and he had to turn his head to Liu Bo and said: "Lord Sima, I heard just now that this Li Xi Li Zi said that he has a marriage contract with the third lady of your family?" Okay, this is really the son-in-law of the East Bed! β
For such a long time, Liu Bo has been in a trance, and when he heard Zhou Qiong call himself, he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly answered two sentences that were not on the topic, and then turned his eyes to Li Xi, and he was also surprised in his heart.
I have to say that the reason why he spent so much effort to pave the way for so long at this birthday banquet was that he felt that hearing was false, seeing was believing, and he wanted to personally test the school to see how Li Xi was at present, and when he saw Li Xi's performance at the beginning, although there were many rumors before, he was still unspeakably disappointed in his heart.
Back then, his father Li Fu was so knowledgeable that he was even enough to serve him as a half-teacher, but after he died, no matter how poor and depressed his son Li Xi was, he never thought of breaking the marriage contract that the two had set for their children back then, in fact, although Li Xi had been down-and-out over the years, he had always been famous, so that his future father-in-law was still very satisfied, but just now, he suddenly hesitated- Do you really want to marry such a good daughter to this waste material who is nothing at the moment?
But just when he was hesitating and swaying in his heart, Li Xi suddenly gave him an exciting sonorous blow!
At this time, he came back to his senses, but when he saw Li Xizheng with a humble and shy smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to help the bearded Dai Jun, so he couldn't help but suddenly laugh and scolded in a low voice, "This stinky boy!" β
At this time, in the face of the chaotic Liuhuatang, Zhou Qiong smiled and said: "Lord Sima, with Zhou's meaning, today is the poem of the banquet, when Li Xi and Li Zi say that this poem is the first name, what is the intention of Lord Sima?" β
When Liu Bo heard this, he stroked his palms and said, "This is a very good discussion!" Lord Thorn Shi is a master of poetry and poetry, and he is also a judge, if you say that he is the first, you are the first to point him! β
After that, he turned his head to look at the front of the table and asked, "Lord Assassin Shi has this discussion, can the princes have any objections?" β
Naturally, everyone had no objections, and they all praised it when they heard it.
You must know that with Fang Cai's poem, Li Xi is enough to establish his status as the first talent in Shuzhou! At this time, it is good to sell and make friends, so naturally there are only benefits and no disadvantages, where will anyone speak against it? Besides, Li Xi's poem is the first name, and it is indeed well deserved!
It can be said that no dynasty in Chinese history has ever had such a unique and eye-catching mark as the Tang Dynasty - poetry. The people of the Tang Dynasty liked to write poetry, like to read poetry, like poets, as long as you have poetic talent, then everyone is willing to make friends with you, even if you are still down.
At this time, watching Li Xi and the bearded Dai Jun talk and laugh very happily, many people even had some regrets in their hearts, they knew that they should rush out to do this, so that not only will they not be embarrassed, but they can resolve the bad impression they left on Li Xi in one fell swoop, maybe they can still be good friends with him, so how much face should they have?
It's a pity that this bearded man took the lead!
Lord Assassin Shi set Li Xi's first name in a word, and everyone agreed in unison, but for a while, no one cared about whether anyone else had made poems, and everyone just subconsciously felt that this banquet poem had already won such a good poem, and naturally it should end here.
The ranking was set, and immediately the topic of the scene returned to the praise of Li Xi's poem just now. Even Dai Jun Dai Hanzi chanted a sentence loudly and drank a glass of wine, the whole poem has a total of fourteen sentences, not spinning his heels, he actually drank fourteen glasses of wine in a row, drunk and brazen, still arrogant drinking, "Good poetry, good poetry, when the big white!" β
Everyone saw that he was naΓ―ve and cute, and respected him as a frank person, and he could be crazy about poetry, and his behavior was quite chivalrous.
At first, the third uncle Li Qiu and the little fat man Li Zao also pulled him to drink, both of them were bright-eyed, and their faces were in high spirits, but at this time, even they were squeezed away by everyone, only to see Li Xi surrounded by a large group of people in the middle, these people are all praise, and Li Xi's face is still the same shy smile, only when he clinks glasses with others, he shows a trace of boldness.
At such a lively moment, in front of Liuhuatang, Li Wei and Li Fang's father and son were the only ones with no smile on their faces.
All they had on their faces was shock and frustration.
Who would have thought that Li Xi, who was still stupid just now, would be able to make such a good poem? And with a poem, he was able to bring back the good situation that their father and son had worked hard to create for a long time in one fell swoop!
There were so many chatters on the scene, no matter how stupid the father and son were, they had already heard something strange from the words of others at this time, it turned out that he Li Xi had been pretending to be stupid all the time a few days ago!
At this time, Li Fang turned his head to look at the past again, and the arrogance and disdain in his eyes had long since turned into disbelief and surprise.
And an inexplicable fear!
