That Zhong Wenbo pretended to be pensive, but glanced at Xiao Jiading from time to time.

Xiao Jiading understood that this kid was only afraid that he had written poems on this theme before, and he should think it was very good. It's funny at the moment, no matter how good your poems are, can you still overshadow Li Bai and Du Fu?

He walked slowly for seven steps, stood still, and looked back at Zhong Wenbo: "How is it, have you thought about it?" ”

Zhong Wenbo immediately said: "This time, I am also a poem in seven steps!" Because I've already thought it through! ”

As soon as the scholars in the audience heard this, it was estimated that both of them had already thought about it. It's just that I don't know whose poetry is more powerful. They all looked at them excitedly.

Xiao Jiading said: "Okay, you can talk about it first." ”

Zhong Wenbo nodded, coughed lightly, and chanted aloud:

Looking at the moon and sadness,

Looking at the moon and the moon does not move.

When to meet the envoys of the Han Dynasty,

Write a book for the concubine.

After reciting, he looked at Xiao Jiading triumphantly: "How is this poem?" Can you still get into the eyes of the driver? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Jiading to speak, he heard the voice of a woman on the Jade Tower: "Zhong Gongzi, isn't this poem the poem you won the championship at our Jade House Poetry Meeting last time?" How can you deceive a foreigner? ”

Xiao Jiading looked up, only to see the railing on the second floor of the Jade Building, I don't know when the road was already full of Yingying Yanyan's ** singer, the one who spoke, graceful, charming, charming, and looking at him with a smile.

As soon as they saw her, almost everyone in the audience exclaimed: "It's Miss Ya Niang!" Jade House Singer Lady Top Brand Oiran! ”

When Xiao Jiading heard that this woman was actually the top brand of the Jade Building, he couldn't help but look up at the woman again.

Zhong Wenbo looked at her, couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and arched his hand: "It's Miss Yaniang, hehe, although this poem is not written now, it is indeed made by a contemptible person, right?" Just now, we didn't have to write a new poem on the spot. He can also take out his previous poems. ”

The onlookers immediately booed.

Xiao Jiading smiled slightly, and said to the woman upstairs: "Thank you girl for reminding me, but I have thought of a poem below, please listen to it to the girl and everyone present, how does it compare with his winning work?" ”

The woman upstairs Yin Yingfu said: "The son is quick to think, seven steps into poetry, Ya Niang admires, here to listen." ”

Xiao Jiading's long tone recited the most famous of all the poems titled Wang Zhaojun, Du Fu Du Shisheng's seven-character poem "One of the Five Songs of Yonghuai Monuments":

Mountains and ravines go to Jingmen,

There is still a village of growing Ming concubines.

Once I went to the Zitai Lianshuo Desert,

Leave the green mound alone to dusk.

Draw a picture of the spring breeze face,

Ring the empty space to return to the night moon soul.

Thousands of years of pipa as nonsense,

Distinguish between resentment and resentment.

This poem is the most beautiful poem written in the poem lamenting the fate of Wang Zhaojun, especially the sentence "Leaving the green mound alone to the dusk", the bleak scenery, after reading it, it makes people feel sad and burst into tears. Whether it is in terms of words or ideological realm, it is much more clever than Zhong Wenbo's head.

After listening to Xiao Jiading's poem, the scholars in the audience applauded in amazement. The lady upstairs was also amazed, which woman didn't like such a talented scholar? Especially singers like them, they like talented literati. couldn't help but be affectionate, and frequently delivered autumn waves to Xiao Jiading.

Zhong Wenbo listened to his heart is also cool and cool, his poem, not long ago was written in this jade building poetry meeting, at that time it was with this poem, won the championship in one fell swoop, I thought that I had won the battle, but I didn't expect this scholar to make such a beautiful poem, that artistic conception, far from his own can compare.

The scholars in the audience all applauded in unison, just like a scoop of water poured into an oil pot, which suddenly exploded, and they all shouted: "Xiao Gongzi's seven laws are far better than Zhong Gongzi's quatrain!" In this round, it was this Xiao Gongzi who won again! ”

Zhong Wenbo listened to the fact that there was no one in the audience who supported him, and he couldn't help but turn pale, looked at Yaniang upstairs, and arched his hand: "Yaniang girl, what do you think?" ”

This elegant lady is the Oiran of the Jade Building, most of the girls in the Jade Building are singers who sell their performances and do not sell their bodies, among which the talent and appearance are headed by this elegant lady, she not only sings and dances, but also writes lyrics and composes, and recites poems. Zhong Wenbo won the first talent in Yizhou through the Yizhou Poetry Club, and naturally he was the guest of honor of this elegant girl. And when he won the championship with this poem in the Jade House Poetry Club, she was the one who advocated it, which shows that she appreciates this poem very much, and maybe she can help herself talk now.

Yaniang didn't look at him, she still looked at Xiao Jiading with affection, and said coquettishly: "Xiao Gongzi, what do you think of Zhong Gongzi's poem?" ”

Xiao Jiading shrugged his shoulders and recited the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Rui's "Resolving the Grievances of the Zhao Dynasty":

Don't complain about the ugly painting of the workers,

Ying suspects that the main party is sent and pro.

At that time, if you don't marry Hulu,

It's just a dancer in the palace.

Zhong Wenbo's poem, in the tone of Wang Zhaojun, focuses all his anger on the court painter Mao Yanshou who scandalized her, and she looks like a vicious and resentful woman. However, the poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Rui quoted by Xiao Jiading is the opposite, ridiculing Wang Zhaojun for thanking the wise king for sending her to kiss, otherwise she will end up just a palace maid in the court. Xiao Jiading borrowed this word, naturally he went to Zhong Wenbo's description of the shrew-type Wang Zhaojun, and the comments were very spicy.

Upstairs, Ya Niang slapped her palms and smiled, saying, "It's wonderful, it's wonderful!" Quick-witted, worthy of a seven-step poetry! - Zhong Gongzi, I agree with Xiao Gongzi's comment. Your Wang Zhaojun is just a poisonous woman who is old and angry, and Xiao Gongzi's Wang Zhaojun is a woman who sheds tears and sadness, and originally thought that Zhong Gongzi's resentment in Wang Zhaojun's poem was reasonable and worthy of sympathy, but after listening to Xiao Gongzi's new work, the kind of sympathetic sadness and desolation is better, but it is less vicious in your poem, this artistic conception is stronger than your poem, plus these few sentences of people who judge your poems later, it is also a wonderful Zhaojun poem, but I am afraid it is not inferior to your one. So, this time, Ya Niang thinks that Xiao Gongzi's poems are better than yours. That's a fair word. Hee-hee"

As soon as they heard Ya Niang say this, the onlookers laughed even more, and they all said that Ya Niang commented very well.

Zhong Wenbo's face turned pale, and he said to the scholar: "Put down the money, let's go!" ”

Seeing that Zhong Wenbo was leaving, Xiao Jiading stopped him: "Young Master Zhong, you seem to have forgotten to leave something behind!" ”

Zhong Wenbo was stunned for a moment, then understood, walked back, and hatefully stuffed the jade pendant in his hand in Xiao Jiading's hand.

A scholar next to him hid behind the crowd and shouted in a strange voice: "Do you want to slip away? said that if you lose, you will drill the gutter, and there is one thing missing! ”

Zhong Wenbo's face suddenly changed greatly, and he stared at Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading had clearly seen that the scholar who said strange things was the fat man who greeted him first, and it could be seen that this fat scholar seemed to have a prejudice against this Zhong Wenbo, so these sentences were full of schadenfreude.

A man wants a face, a tree wants bark, and he has to spare people and spare them. Xiao Jiading didn't want to do things too much, so he smiled and said: "This is Zhong Gongzi's joke, not true." ”

Zhong Wenbo breathed a sigh of relief, felt a little grateful in his heart, flicked the sleeves of his robe, arched his hand towards Xiao Jiading, turned around and walked away briskly with the scholar and servants.

Xiao Jiading hung the jade pendant on the banner, always hanging the copper coin on his arm, looked up at Ya Niang, and smiled: "Thank you, girl!" ”

Ya Niang smiled sweetly, threw him a wink, and said: "Xiao Gongzi, you are so good at work, you have made a lot of money, and you are really capable, but even Zhong Wenbo, who is known as the first talent in Yizhou, has lost to you, and you have so much gambling money, I am afraid that no one will dare to come out to fight with you in the future, if you are still there, I am afraid that you will stand in vain." It's better to come in and drink a glass of water and wine, and let Ya Niang give you a song and dance to cheer up, and we can also learn poetry, but the concubine doesn't have much money, and if you lose, you can only ......, hehe"

She didn't say it later, but the sweet and greasy hooking demeanor was enough to make people understand what she was going to say later, which was more reminiscent than saying it.

Xiao Jiading looked at her delicate and delicate body, and couldn't help but swallow a saliva, but he thought in his heart, Lao Tzu's money was taken to the errand of the relationship to seek the yamen, if you enter your gold cave, I am afraid that there will be nothing left. Forget it and talk about it later. He smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Yaniang for your kindness, but there are still things to deal with today, so let's go, and I will visit the girl again when I have time in the future." ”

This Ya Niang was right just now, she defeated the first talent in Yizhou, and now the stakes are so big, those onlookers just stood there one by one and discussed, looking at themselves with admiration, envy and jealousy, but no one came out again, not even eager to try. So, I'm also waiting here, anyway, the money I made this time is almost enough. It's better to leave here, so as not to be seen as a monkey in the zoo.

Ya Niang was eating and laughing upstairs, and a string of charming eyes was thrown over, and said, "Okay, then we can decide!" Ya Niang swept the couch and waited, waiting for Xiao Gongzi to come, but she couldn't let Ya Niangkong rejoice! ”

Xiao Jiading smiled slightly and nodded: "It's decided!" He hung the nearly eighty copper coins on his shoulder, covered them with the banner, bowed his hand to the onlookers, smiled at the lady upstairs, and walked away.

Eight copper coins are taken out consistently, plus this jade pendant worth nine guan, a total of ten guan, take it to take the relationship, it is equivalent to 50,000 yuan, and seek a clerk of the yamen, that is, the clerk of the current government, must be able to get it. Of course, the grandfather who rewarded Nadu Erniu for sending it consistently, and he still has about six times, which should be enough for the time being. If you enter the yamen, you will have an income, so you don't have to worry about running out of food.

Xiao Jiading hummed a little song, and walked back satisfied, he had already left the Jade Building, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Brother Xiao! Please stay! ”
