Chapter 119: Poetry Competition

While busy with these things, Du Erniu found Xiao Jiading and told him that the next day was the day when the Bailu Poetry Society of their county government competed with the Tiaozhihua Poetry Society of the government office. Because these two poetry clubs are the strongest in Yizhou, they are also regarded as the preliminaries of the upcoming Yizhou Poetry Club. It attracted a lot of attention, in addition to some Hongru, Tang Lin was also invited as a special guest to watch the ceremony. This is also the main reason why Xiao Jiading wants to participate in the competition. Tang Lin is the Bole who can get to his current position, and he is also the supporter and main backer for him to continue to go up in the future, he must try his best to show himself, so that Tang Lin, Bole, will not be disappointed.

This was what he had in mind before, but after talking to Tang Lin on the painting boat, he began to worry a little about whether Tang Lin was fighting with a political opponent and wanted to treat himself as a pawn. He is reluctant to be a gunman for Tang Lin, even if he can be promoted because of this, but if it involves his own life, it is more important to have a small life.

So, he had a new plan.

The next day, the poetry meeting was held by the Huanhua River in Yizhou City. Before this, the big platform of the arena had been set up, half a person high. Below are rows of benches for spectators. At the front, there are the members of the jury.

In this poetry meeting, there were three judges on the judging panel, namely Du Youzhai of Yizhou Academy and Lu Dong of Shaocheng Academy, and one was Wei Ruoxuan, a famous Confucian scholar in Yizhou.

There are a total of seven people in the Bailu Poetry Society in Shaocheng, including Xiao Jiading, because Mrs. Ji holds her own identity, so although she is the president of the poetry club, she did not sign up for the competition. The number of people in the state capital Yamen is relatively large, but according to the rules, the competition system of the two sides is a ring competition. So the number of people should be equal. As a result, seven people were also selected to participate.

The leader of the Shaocheng Bailu Poetry Society is Xiao Jiading, the new vice president of the Poetry Society. And the champion of the Chinese Poetry Society. was originally Zhong Wenbo, the first talent in Yizhou, but they invited Lu Zhaolin, the first talent in Beijing, to join the poetry club, so Lu Zhaolin was the champion, and Zhong Wenbo became the deputy champion.

Before the game, both sides should make a list of the personnel in which they will play. Xiao Jiading and Mrs. Ji discussed together, and Mrs. Ji's opinion was to use Tang Rongxuan, who was relatively strong and played relatively stable, as a striker. However, Xiao Jiading suggested that Du Erniu take the lead. In view of Du Erniu's outstanding performance in the two poetry clubs, this proposal has been recognized by everyone. The latter ones are of the same level, sorted separately, with the female in front and the male in the back. The deputy champion is Huang Shiyun, who won the title of the first talented woman in Yizhou last year.

Huang Shiyun did not deliberately dress up this day. It's just a simple light yellow spring shirt, with a ribbon tied around her waist, outlining an attractive curve, coupled with her beautiful face, which is naturally the focus of attention in the field. After she met Xiao Jiading. There was no particular expression, as if everything that had happened before had been forgotten.

It's a big deal. Almost all the Yizhou literati came to watch the battle. The arena was crowded, except for the guests in front of them, who had seats, the rest of the people could only stand. Fortunately, the platform is relatively high, and you can see it from a distance.

The competition has officially begun.

The first person to come to the stage of the Bailu Poetry Society was Du Erniu. She was very nervous before, but Xiao Jiading made such an arrangement, and she had no way to refuse. I had to bite the bullet.

Unexpectedly. After getting the question, when she was sweating all over her head and didn't know how to put down the pen, Xiao Jiading's thin but very clear voice came from her ears, telling her not to be nervous. Write it for her yourself.

Du Erniu was surprised and delighted, looked at Xiao Jiading, and sure enough, she saw him winking at herself, she couldn't imagine that he would have such a ability, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. wrote according to the poems taught by Xiao Jiading, and naturally easily defeated the vanguard of the Tiaozhihua Poetry Society!

These days, the fame of this chubby Du Erniu has spread all over Yizhou, and several of her poems are recited everywhere, of course, Xiao Jiading helped her plagiarize. And now this poem is also a famous poem that Xiao Jiading helped plagiarize, and it was naturally unanimously affirmed by the jury.

Next, with the secret help of Xiao Jiading, Du Erniu was like a bamboo, and beheaded five generals of the other party in a row! It was killed until the front of Zhong Wenbo, the deputy leader of the Tiaozhihua Poetry Society.

Du Erniu's courage made everyone in the Tiaozhihua Poetry Society stunned, but her poems were indeed very good, and the victory was well deserved.

Before this, Zhong Wenbo didn't look down on Du Erniu at all, and he didn't expect her to turn over with salted fish, and wonderful poems came out like beads, so before he came to the stage, he was already sweaty, and even his palms were wet. He listened to Du Erniu's poems just now, and thought to himself that he couldn't compare, this battle was more than lucky.

However, Xiao Jiading had his own plan in his heart, so this time, he chose a very ordinary poem and taught it to Du Erniu. And Zhong Wenbo is the No. 1 talent in Yizhou in the last session, and he still has a few brushes under his hands. So this time, the referee had a heated discussion, and finally ruled that the Chinese Poetry Society won by two votes to one. Of course, this ruling also takes into account that the Tiaozhihua Poetry Society can no longer afford to lose, so give them a chance.

beheaded the other party's five generals in a row, which already made Du Erniu very satisfied, she smiled and took Xiao Jiading's hand and giggled. The people on their side were even more stars holding the moon and praising her. Grandpa Du Dayin, who came to watch the battle, was also happy to brush his beard and laugh.

However, they soon stopped laughing. The members behind the Bailu Poetry Society did not have Xiao Jiading's secret help, so they were naturally not the opponents of Zhong Wenbo, the first talent in Yizhou, so the Bailu Poetry Society also lost five games in a row!

At this moment, Zhong Wenbo swept away the panic and frustration before he came to power, and was proud, shaking his fan, leisurely, and returning to the previous appearance of a talented and beautiful woman.

Huang Shiyun, the deputy leader of the Bailu Poetry Society, came on the field.

She was the first talented woman in Yizhou last year, and against Zhong Wenbo, the first talent in Yizhou, this is naturally a dragon and tiger fight! The scholars watching the battle in the field stretched their necks one by one.

Huang Shiyun's face was calm, and after getting the topic, she kept pondering until the last moment, and she did it overnight.

The host of the event read out the poems of both sides, and there was a buzz in the field, all of them were discussing, some felt that Zhong Wenbo's poems were better, and some felt that Huang Shiyun's was better, and they argued with their own opinions.

And the three referees of the jury also had a fierce argument. In the end, it was also a two-to-one vote, and Huang Shiyun won the verdict!

Zhong Wenbo did not object, his poem is indeed better than Huang Shiyun's, it is indeed difficult to say who is better. Since the referee has decided so, he can only obey. At the same time, he single-handedly picked five generals on the other side, except for the difficult victory against Du Erniu in the front, the rest were easy wins, which was enough to make him proud. He proudly surrendered his hand and stepped down.

Next, Lu Zhaolin, the champion of the Tiaozhihua Poetry Society, came to power. He is still so polite and personable, a little more chic than Zhong Wenbo, but he didn't get Huang Shiyun to take a second look, which made him a little depressed.

This was another dragon and tiger fight, and the poems of the two once again caused a heated debate among everyone in the audience, and finally the jury decided to award Lu Zhaolin of the Chinese Poetry Society as the winner.

In the end, the champions of both sides fought.

Xiao Jiading slowly walked up to the stage, glanced at the audience, saw Mrs. Ji's expectant eyes, saw Du Erniu smiling and winking, saw Huang Shiyun's calm and nervous expression, and at the end, his eyes fell on the face of Tang Lin, a special guest sitting in the middle of the front.

Tang Lin smiled and nodded at him, his eyes full of anticipation.

Xiao Jiading nodded slightly, looked at Lu Zhaolin, and arched his hand: "Brother Lu, let's meet again." ”

"Yes! As soon as I arrived in Yizhou, I heard about Brother Xiao's reputation for becoming a poem in seven steps, and today I was finally able to compete with Brother Xiao on the field, which is really very lucky. ”

The two of them laughed and whispered a few words, and then began to draw questions. This time, in order to prevent cheating, the question bank system was implemented, that is, the referee each came up with a number of questions, and then the host selected a poem in public.

The topic of the drawing is "Yizhou Ancient Tower".

There is an ancient tower in the peach forest of Shaocheng Temple in Yizhou City, and I don't know that the road was built in that year, but it still stands majestically until now, and you can see the scenery of the whole city at a glance when you climb to the top of the tower.

Lu Zhaolin came to Yizhou, and also went to see the pagoda, and he was very emotional, and after a little groaning, he wrote a long lyrical poem praising the pagoda.

Xiao Jiading pondered intently, and he hadn't started writing until the pillar of incense was almost burned. The people below were anxious, especially a few from the Bailu Poetry Society, Du Erniu was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "Why doesn't Brother Xiao put pen to paper?" It's too late! ”

However, Huang Shiyun was still calm, and said: "Brother Xiao is quick to think, and he is known to be able to become a poet in seven steps, and this Yongta is not a strange topic, he should have no problem." That being said, it was not until the pillar of incense was about to burn out, and Lu Zhaolin had stopped writing over there, so Xiao Jiading picked up the pen and did it overnight.

With the extinguishing of the last bit of fire, Xiao Jiading finished writing the last word.

Seeing that he wrote it so short, everyone knew that he should have written a quatrain.

The host first took Lu Zhaolin's and read it in a frustrated tone. This is a long poem, Lu Zhaolin used his best gorgeous rhetoric, to fight against the body, and wrote this long poem full of feelings. I could hear all the scholars watching the game in the audience shaking their heads one by one, enjoying it like a spring breeze.

After the recitation of the long poem, the audience cheered endlessly.

Although the faces of the people of the Bailu Poetry Society were a little solemn, they were too confident in Xiao Jiading's poetic talent, and firmly believed that Xiao Jiading would definitely be able to defeat Lu Zhaolin with a simple quatrain.

Tang Lin was still smiling and looking at Xiao Jiading, waiting for his earth-shattering masterpiece to come out! (To be continued......)
