When I came inside, I saw that this place was actually next to the Qintan River, and a long pavilion several miles long was built, which was divided into several sections.

Lin Wanrong had just entered, and a little servant took him to the long pavilion, gave him tea cups and pastries, and bowed down to leave. The hospitality is not bad, Lin Wanrong snorted secretly, picked up a piece of pastry and chewed it.

This long pavilion is built along the river, all of them are made of bamboo, the Qintan River is sparkling, the boats are like shuttles, and the scenery is very charming. Sitting in the pavilion, the sparkling water, the breeze is gentle, and it is very clean.

Forty or fifty talented people had already gathered in this pavilion, all of them were radiant, extraordinary, and felt good about themselves.

Lin Wanrong grabbed an honest genius next to him and said, "Brother Tai, how is this poetry competition going on?" ”

"Brother, you don't even know the rules of the Poetry Club?" The genius looked at him strangely and said, "This is also interesting." ”

"This, the younger brother is not good, he just came in to see it, and he didn't care much about the rules, and asked the brother to correct it. Oh, in Xia Sanlin, I haven't asked my brother Taigao's name yet. Lin Wanrong hurriedly said.

"In the lower swallow rises back. It turned out to be the third brother. Yan Sheng nodded back and said, "This rule is also simple. In the long pavilion, every group of ten people, randomly selected poems, in the tea kung fu, ten people do the same poem, and the top two in each group are automatically promoted. After the poem is written, those who feel inferior can withdraw on their own, and if there is any dispute, three well-known judges will adjudicate. For the sake of fairness, all three judges hold up their cards individually, and those who dispute can only be promoted if all three agree to it. Those who advance can take a flower boat into the Qintan River. That's where the real talent and celebrities gather. ”

Auditions and judges? Lin Wanrong somewhat understood. This is equivalent to each region selecting the top players and then advancing to the Grand Final. Damn, this is a typical draft style, it's really simple and practical. Ten people do the same question. The competition is also fair, and there is no room for fraud.

"The rest of the losers have a chance to re-enter the ten-man group to play again, but if they are eliminated again, they can only choose to leave." Yan Sheng replied.

This is the resurrection match, Luo Ning is so talented, this kind of trick can also come out. Lin Wanrong nodded: "This is fair." Oh, Brother Yan, have you ever raced? ”

Yan Shenghui smiled bitterly: "Don't tell the third brother, I played abnormally in the last round. Ranked third out of 10, he lost his qualification once, and now he is waiting for his last chance. ”

The third out of ten? This ranking is really sad. Lin Wanrong shook her head helplessly and said, "Brother Yan, don't be so worried, I believe that you will definitely advance in the next round." ”

Lin Wanrong chatted with Na Yansheng for a while, and he was not very clear about the competition system after promotion. But it's the current level that is the most important.

Lin Wanrong laughed a few times in her heart, this poem will be decent, Luo Ning, this girl. There is also a talent for hype.

Sure enough, as Lin Wanrong imagined, the items used in this long pavilion, even the tables, chairs and benches, were all printed with the sign of food as an immortal without exception. The eliminated talents also received souvenirs specially made by the conference, and a fried paper umbrella sponsored by Shiweixian.

With his own ability, it is estimated that he will be eliminated from the audition, Lin Wanrong doesn't care, Luo Ning only said to let him participate. didn't say that he wanted him to advance, just do his best. He sat there and drank a few cups of tea leisurely, dozed off for a while, and saw that the talents in front of him were almost promoted and eliminated, so he took a moment and gathered ten people with Yan Shenghui to line up.

One of the ten people was sent to draw this group of test questions, and the guy in the place where the questions were drawn was sweating profusely and almost unsteady when he walked. Lin Wanrong shook her head secretly when she saw it, this kind of psychological quality, also came to participate in the draft?

He remembered something, patted Yan Sheng in front of him and replied: "Brother Yan, I heard that Hou Yuebai, the number one talent in Jinling, also came to participate in the competition, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Yan Shenghui nodded back and said: "Naturally true, Hou Gongzi is infatuated with Miss Luo, how can he miss such an opportunity, he is also a popular candidate to win the championship in this poetry competition." However, Hou Gongzi is not in the same competition area as us, and with his ability, it will not be a problem to advance smoothly. ”

I have long heard that this Hou Yuebai studied hard behind closed doors, and he didn't know what skills he had learned, and he dared to win the championship. Immediately, I heard that Yan Sheng shook his head and said, "But I'm not optimistic about this prince." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Lin Wanrong said strangely.

Although Hou Yuebai is the first talent in Jinling, the world is big, and there are many heroes, not to mention the provinces of Anhui and Zhejiang, even the talents from the capital are numerous, and he may not have a chance of winning. I heard that Zhao Kangning, the son of Prince Cheng, has a soft spot for Miss Luo, and he also participated in this poetry competition. Yan Sheng replied.

Zhao Kangning, this kid is also here, my day will be lively, he saw me and I want to perform the teacher's salute, hehe. But what does this Lao Luo want to do with such a big formation and gather everyone's eyes here? He glanced around, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and his face changed suddenly, ouch, this old Luo is going to do it.

With this thought, he was both excited and worried. Lao Luo is joking with the world, using your daughter to attract everyone's attention, secretly sharpening knives, damn, you really dare to do anything.

Yan Sheng looked back at the person who drew lots, and said a little nervously: "Third brother, I only have this one chance, and I don't know if I can win." ”

Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take it easy, Brother Yan, it's always yours that should be yours, and no one can snatch it." If it's not yours, you can't grab it. ”

As he spoke, the old man who drew lots had already picked out the topic, tremblingly dismantled the paper ball, and said in a trembling voice: "Take the spring and summer seasons as the theme, for, for the theme, do, do, do a seven-hundred!" ”

Damn, can you read it smoothly? Lin Wanrong shook his head secretly, using spring and summer as the theme to make seven uniques, this thing is difficult for him. But it's not as unattainable as you might think.

As soon as the question came out, the ten talented people had already started quickly, and there were seven steps into a poem in ancient times, although it was an exaggeration. But it's not so easy to make a poem within the tea effort.

"There is, there is, I have—" Yan Shenghui was the first to shout. Other talented people were shocked when they heard it, and those who didn't have enough psychology were sweating profusely.

"What are you arguing about?" A woman's voice came over, it sounded a little familiar, Lin Wanrong raised her head to look, and saw an old woman sitting on the judge's seat, looking here with an angry face. Oh my God. How is she? Lin Wanrong almost jumped.

"Yo, isn't this Mei Daxue? Why, you haven't returned to the capital yet? How are you doing lately? Did you plough the field again? Lin Wanrong's mind turned sharply, but her mouth was already smiling. Damn, it really didn't go well today, not to mention being slaughtered, I ran into a judge. It's still this perverted woman, my god, Miss Luo. I can't be blamed for that.

Mei Yanqiu was already tired enough to judge this station, and she didn't notice Lin San at all in advance, seeing this person suddenly come out in front of her eyes, she was so frightened that she suddenly stood up from her chair and exclaimed, "You, you, what are you going to do?" ”

"Do what?" Lin Wanrong smiled: "Don't you know this, you are the judge who came to participate in the poetry competition." You can take care of it later. ”

Hearing that he was here to participate in the poetry competition, Mei Yanqiu became a little more angry, and said proudly: "It depends on whether you have the ability or not." ”

"Don't you know my skills?" Lin Wanrong squinted, slowly stretched out a finger, and said with a smile: "My hand is called a yang finger, it is a family heirloom, and Mr. Mei also saw it with his own eyes that day, hehe-"

Mei Yanqiu's face turned pale, and she sat on the chair and didn't dare to speak, Yan Shenghui grabbed Lin Wanrong and said with admiration on her face: "Third brother, do you know Mr. Mei?" ”

"I know a little bit, she is very impressed with me." Lin Wanrong said haha, and glanced at Mei Yanqiu playfully.

"It's time-" The other judge shouted, and the rest of the talents suddenly sweated, this group was all eliminated in the first round, waiting for the resurrection, and they already had psychological pressure, and when they heard that the time was up, a few of them had already turned pale and couldn't stand on their feet. Lin Wanrong picked this group, but she deliberately took advantage of it.

"Now that you have finished the verse, read it and listen to it." The judge replied to Yan Sheng.

"Yes. In spring and summer, what the students did was: the melon floating urn water was cool and the lotus root was stacked with ice and green to chew the cold. The oblique stone is close to the bamboo shoots dense, and the small pond Shu leaves out of the lotus group. Yan Sheng dripped beads of sweat back from his forehead and said anxiously.

"Good poetry, good poetry!" Yan Sheng had just finished reading, and before the judge could speak, Lin Wanrong had already clapped his hands and laughed.

Yan Shenghui glanced at the third brother who had only known him for a short time, he was self-aware, and this poem of the Seven Laws was only smooth in sentences, neat in battle, barely a medium work, far from a good poem.

The judges nodded, deliberated for a while, and at the same time raised their signs: "Acceptable." Promotion! ”

Yan Shenghui shouted excitedly, hugged Lin Wanrong and said, "Third brother, I have been promoted, I have been promoted." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Yan." ”

A few judges glanced around and shouted, "Who else did it?" Hurry up. ”

The rest of the people had a sad face, and no one dared to speak. The judge shook his head repeatedly: "If there is no one else, we will-"

Damn, these guys, they must have spent their usual time reading on picking up girls, and even I am not as good as me, Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Slow, slow, since no one has made it." Xiaosheng is not talented, and the mouth occupies a song, please correct the teachers. Cool back to Cuitan ice into the teeth, teeth Qin clear spring dew cold. The fragrant wind is as clear as a wisp, and the bright moon in the paper window listens to the cicadas. ”

"Good poetry, good poetry!" Yan Sheng returned the favor and shouted loudly.

Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, and gestured at Mei Yanqiu: "Mei Daoxue, my name is Yiyang Finger, a family heirloom, very powerful——"

Mei Yanqiu's face changed, and she raised the sign in her hand tremblingly......

On a huge flower boat in the Qintan River, Luo Ning held on to the railing, looked at the talented people coming and going on the boat next to him, and sighed softly: "Don't rely on the railing alone." The autumn river is cold in the rain and dew. The wind is rising, and the people have not returned! ”

She coughed lightly twice, and hurriedly covered her small mouth with her hand, her face flushed. Dong Qiaoqiao, who came out of the cabin, hurriedly patted her on the back of the neck and said, "Sister Ning." Why did you come out again, you have been overworked these days, and the doctor has asked you to rest for a long time. ”

How can I be overworked, Luo Ning smiled bitterly, took her hand and said: "Qiaoqiao, Brother Lin promised me that I would come back today, you say, will he lie to me?" ”

Qiaoqiao patted her hand and said, "Sister Ning, don't worry, since the eldest brother promised you to rush back." He will definitely rush back to the land. Big brother has never broken his trust in others. ”

Luo Ning coughed lightly, looked at Qiaoqiao, and said with envy on his face: "Brother Lin is your father-in-law." Naturally, you love him so much. ”

Qiaoqiao grinned and said, "Sister Ning, what do you want your eldest brother to rush back?" He likes to wander around, and now that he is back, it is estimated that he is also sitting in a long pavilion drinking tea with people, and he will take this poetry meeting as a lively look. Sister Ning. Instead, you can tell me that this is such a talented person who can learn well. There are many handsome places, which one do you like? It's okay to let Lord Luo be a matchmaker for you. ”

Luo Ning's face was pale, her neck blushed, and she said lightly: "Good sister, we will be sisters for life, okay?" ”

"Yes, of course." Qiao Qiao smiled sweetly and said, "However, you have to drink the medicine first, and then have a good rest." Or it's time for you to play. Don't the talented people want to see a poor sick beauty? ”

Luo stared at the silent river and sighed softly: "If he doesn't come back today, I will be bored!" Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and shouted: "Sister-" I saw Luo Ning's eyes with tears, staring blankly into the distance, and his weak body was lonely in the wind, which made people full of pity......

"Why?" One of the judges shouted.

"Isn't that easy?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "According to the rules, the top two in each group will automatically advance. Among the ten of us, only Brother Yan and I have made poems, won't we be automatically promoted? Teachers, don't hold up this sign, Xiaosheng is afraid of hitting the self-confidence that I have built up with great difficulty. ”

The two judges nodded and smiled: "You are modestly tight." Even if you are promoted, our brand will be raised-

The two floped at the same time: "Advance-" "Promotion-"

Mei Yanqiu was helpless, gritted his teeth and raised his card: "Promotion-"

Looking at the sign raised by the three judges in unison, Yan Shenghui shouted excitedly: "Promotion, third brother, you have also been promoted." ”

Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Brother Yan, don't be too excited, this is expected." Yan Shenghui thought about it carefully, isn't that what is going on, this judgment is useless at all, he hugged his fists and said: "The third brother is calm and unhurried, and his wisdom is outstanding, Yan admires and admires." ”

The others waited for these two to pass the test so easily, and they were annoyed to death, knowing that this was the case, no matter what kind of poetry they had, they were not afraid of embarrassment, they read it out first and then said it, and hesitated for a while, but let others take advantage of it.

This first hurdle was passed, Lin Wanrong and Yan Shenghui boarded the show boat together and sailed straight to the Qintan River. The talented people who have passed the first level are divided into two flower boats, and there are fifty or sixty people on each boat, which is the elite selected by the sea.

This flower boat is not as good as last night's stay in the Xian'er Painting Boat, but it also looks luxurious, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything. Several celebrities sat in the middle of the stage, plucked the strings lightly, sang a small song sadly, and the talents in the audience sang and sang in response, but there was indeed an atmosphere of gathering some scribes.

"Ladies and gentlemen—" A deacon-like figure stood up and said, "Today's poetry competition is a smooth affair of drinking and composing poems, and it is the fate of heaven and earth for us to gather together, so I invite you to have a drink together to thank you for the fate of the gathering, please-"

"Please—" The talented people drank it all, but it was quite an atmosphere.

The deacon said, "Since you have passed the first level, you are all well-educated people, and today this second level is very simple. We waited for more than 50 people. They were divided into five groups, and each group had a separate drinking order. This wine order must be counted from one word to the top, and if you don't get it, please step aside and drink freely, and the rest of the sons will continue. Stick to the last. for victory. ”

Lin Wanrong probably understood, and secretly felt fresh in her heart, this method is interesting, ten people carry out a drinking order, from one word to multiple words, not so much to compare talent, but to compare wit and drink.

He took his teacup, sat down near the pod, and looked up at the river. But I saw that there were still two painting boats beside me, and I didn't know which boat Luo Ning was on. I was idle, but I saw a small boat rowing in the distance. On the boat stood a big black man and a middle-aged man with a white face, two people gathered together, whispering something.

Oh my god, I didn't see the hell. He rubbed his eyes carefully and snapped. threw the teacup in his hand and shouted, "Brother Du, Brother Hu—"

The ship was far away. At first, I couldn't hear his shout, but when they got closer, they heard the shouting, and the two people on the boat looked over, and when they saw Lin Wanrong's shadow, the two were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed. Hu Bugui was a high-spirited five-foot highland man, old tears fell on his face, and he said loudly: "General Lin." General Lin, you're still alive, damn it, you're still alive, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa—"

Lin Wanrong laughed, wiped her nose, and was about to jump into the river. Yan Shenghui hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Third brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Lin Wanrong said: "I have a few brothers over there, I want to go over and see them, ***, I want to kill them." ”

Yan Sheng replied: "Since my brother has met, you are still worried about this time and a half, and it is not cost-effective to swim in the cold winter now, even if you swim over, it is not cost-effective to suffer from the wind and cold." When this poetry contest is over, you can have a good drink with them, isn't that also beautiful? ”

Also, what is Lao Tzu doing in such a hurry, Lin Wanrong smiled embarrassedly and waved at the two of them. Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan also understood what he meant, and hurriedly stopped the small boat that was rocking here, waved his hand at him, and the two of them jumped on the boat, their excitement overflowing.

Lin Wanrong was very happy, and when he was catching up with the drinking order, he couldn't wait to find a group of ten people, all of them were fresh faces, and he was not afraid, he raised his wine glass and drank two in a row, but he still couldn't stop being happy in his heart.

When everyone saw the madman running from nowhere, they drank two cups without saying a word, and they all secretly stuck out their tongues.

Anyway, no one knows anyone, it's better than drinking and fighting wits, and Lao Tzu hasn't been afraid of anyone. Lin Wanrong's eyes were slightly red, and the excitement on her face could not be suppressed.

"Please!" The first person drank a glass and made a command.

"Please!" The second person answered, and drank all the glasses.

"Fenghua!" Third humanity.

"All-you-can-drink!" Fourth humanity.

,,,,,, when Lin Wanrong arrived, he had already drunk two more cups, and the title in front of him was "Deep Love in the Moon", he laughed and said loudly: "The dream has a long heart." You drink, I drink—"

In the first round, ten people drank up, but no one was out. Lin Wanrong raised her glass frequently, no matter who it was, the glass was dry.

The second round will start with the six-character prefix.

"Drunkenness is easy to show scenery——,

"Don't say sad about the aroma of wine—"

The longer the ,,,,,, sentence, the more difficult it becomes, and before the round is finished, four people are out. When Lin Wanrong arrived, a talented man in front of him chanted: "Wind."

Hua's peerless wine beauty lips".

Lin Wanrong laughed loudly: "In front of the general of the copper-skinned and iron-boned fierce horse." As soon as he craned his neck, the liquor poured into his throat like water, and his face did not change. Several talented people saw that he was so arrogant, and he was by no means a weak scholar, and they all admired him in their hearts.

When the three rounds came down, and no one competed with him, Lin Wanrong's eyes were slightly red, his body shook, but he stood still, and sang: "Brother."

My brother is a sibling, and I am proud of Yuyu, who laughs at me for being drunk on the battlefield! The armor is ambitious, a cup of wine is sacrificed to Jiexiong, please drink another 300 cups! ”

Who can pick up this sentence? Everyone had already been defeated, and their faces were full of envy and admiration when they looked at him. Lin Wanrong saw that no one answered again, and his heart was not happy, he picked up the two wine cups on the table, opened the bow left and right and drank them all, but he still didn't seem to enjoy it, he broke the wine glass to the ground, raised the pot and drank it bitterly, grunted a few times, and the transparent wine dripped down the corners of his mouth.

Everyone was stunned, these are scholars who have read poetry and books, how have they ever seen such a wild character, but seeing him drinking and writing poems are all debauched, there is a faint murderous aura, all of them are shocked.

Over there, Di Yan Shenghui had already retreated, and he was already seven or eight points drunk, and when he saw Lin Wanrong's appearance, he immediately shouted: "Third brother, good job, life should be like you, half awake and half drunk, freehand, wine-"

Holding the pot in one hand, he actually imitated Lin Wanrong's appearance, grunted a few times, and before he could drink a few sips, he popped and fell to the ground drunk.
