Chapter Twenty-Nine: Comparing Poetry and Couplets, Youtang is outstanding
The men's seats were a little drunk.
Chen Cheng of the Hanlin Academy proposed: "Slightly drunk but not drunk, just right, please sing poetry." ”
"Lord Chen is the most poetic, but he says that everyone else is punished for drinking!" Yu Su Zhongdao.
"Don't punish me for drinking, punish me for making a question." Chen Cheng said as if he was defending himself, "Today's poems should be written with the dangerous rhyme of poetry."
Mr. Lin Han, which word in this rhyme is the most difficult to enter the poem? ”
"I think it's a riding word." Lin Han said.
"Okay, then end with the word riding." Chen Cheng said.
"Strange, this is punishing you, and you're punishing others?" Lin Han felt at a loss.
They were talking here, and over there Yu Suzhong was already instructing his family to push the plate aside and put a thick stack of paper, a dozen pens, and three or five inkstones.
Lin Han is a trial bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a two-year jinshi in Chenghua, known for literature, and a top writer of the Hanlin Academy.
He picked up a pen and blew on it, thinking it was applicable.
So he sat down at the desk, as if he were ready to put pen to paper at once;
But apparently it was not conceived, and the pen was raised, but it was not left behind.
Zhu Youtang sat beside him, wiping the pen in the inkstone while slowly spreading out the paper; The paper was laid out, and the pen was put down.
Li Dongyang sat beside him, looking back from time to time, not knowing whether the chrysanthemums behind him or the flying cranes were attracting him.
Zhu Youyuan was probably hot, so he went to take off his clothes and came back to sit next to Zhu Youtang.
Liu Jian put his hands behind his back and watched the flying crane wholeheartedly;
Qi Sheng bent down and carefully selected chrysanthemums.
The other colleagues of the Hanlin Academy also geared up and entered the state one after another.
Chen Cheng stood behind this and poked the probe behind him, a bit like a surveillance officer.
Lin Han put down his pen first and shouted, "Lord Chen, should you go from the backstage to the front desk, and see if my superficial sentences can still be handled?" ”
Not only did Chen Ju turn behind him, but Zhu Youyuan and Li Dongyang also heard the sound.
Lin Han wrote a poem of five uniques:
Who is the companion of the base notes,
Autumn is late.
Peng Ze can get drunk,
Yangzhou crane riding.
The crowd applauded.
Yu Suzhong said: "The riding word is not a good match, it is rare for Lord Lin to come up with a manga ride." ”
Liu Jian picked up the poem manuscript and involuntarily shrank back, and Chen Ju jokingly said:
"Lord Liu, is the ugly daughter-in-law afraid to see her in-laws?"
"If you want to get married, what are you afraid of? I groaned to myself. Liu Jian said.
He wrote:
As long as the clouds are near,
There are still a few branches of autumn incense.
A veteran among the flowers,
Gold armor with frost ride.
"It is more appropriate to use chrysanthemums as a veteran among flowers." Chen Cheng praised.
"King Xingxian, what about yours?" Chen Tang stretched out his hand.
Zhu Youyuan handed him the manuscript of the poem, and he chanted:
I went to the rain for an appointment,
Also looking for branches after the snow.
I don't have a hundred steps,
You don't have to ride a horse.
"Poetry is like its own person, Xingxian Wang is straightforward, and poetry is also written straightforwardly." Yu Suzhong said.
"Does Brother Yu praise me or belittle me?" Zhu Youyuan asked.
"Naturally, it is Zanxing and offering the king." Yu Suzhong said.
Chen Tang put down his pen when he saw Zhu Youtang and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been fast, why is he lagging behind today?" ”
"It's all right." Zhu Youtang teased himself.
Chen Cheng probed and revealed the mystery:
"In terms of speed, it belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince. You and others all submit the paper with one poem, but His Highness writes two. ”
The two songs are also five uniques:
The pan wine glass must be full, and it is too late to find the fragrance.
Can you never get tired of turning into a god? The horse was not taught to ride.
I only love Yan Huahao, and I don't talk about the late years.
Flowers are like horses, although they are old and can still be ridden.
"It's too late to find a fang, is it because I'm late for the appointment?" Yu Su Zhongdao.
"Or is it well written that the pan wine glass must be full, but I don't know the big and small glasses?" Lin Han Road.
"General Yu is embarrassed to use a small cup, but I am embarrassed to use a large cup." Zhu Youtang said.
In a word, everyone laughed.
"Why are they all speechless, and they are quatrains? Prescriptive? Li Dongyang found a problem.
"It's not a rule!" This had to be explained by Chen Tang, he thought about it, and quickly understood,
"The four were the first to be completed, not only more elegant, but also faster, so they invariably wrote five uniques."
"Lord Chen blames me for being greedy, how about writing a long law together?" Lin Han invited him.
"In the same garden, each person has a long song, but I am afraid that there will be many repetitions.
It's better to connect sentences, which are full of scenes and not repeated. Chen Tang had another idea.
When everyone thought about it, it made sense.
Today is nothing more than a chrysanthemum, everyone bows their heads to write, and it is inevitable to repeat.
All of you are poetry athletes, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it;
It's a couplet, and you can't repeat it if you want to.
"Couplets are couplets, who is afraid of whom! Do you still use poetry as rhyme? Lin Han didn't wait for others to reply,
The first sentence has blurted out: "The stump has not felt the cold."
"Brother Yu, you are the master, don't be lazy anymore."
Zhu Youtang said as he picked up his pen, "Come on, I'll record it for you." ”
Yu Suzhong said "good", and continued: "Drink lightly, the public is fortunate." ”
Qi Sheng said: "The color reflection golden sable can still be inserted. ”
Liu Jian said: "How can the famous Danhe be ridden? ”
"Isn't the word riding ending?" Zhu Youtang spoke without delaying the transcript, and continued with a sentence, "After the Chongyang Festival, it is not without festivals." ”
"Your Highness is saying that there is still a section between Chongyang and the winter solstice, right? This is the festival of poets. Li Dongyang followed the next sentence, "Peng Ze's return letter is sometimes." ”
"Come on, I have a sentence here," Chen Cheng didn't know who he was robbing with, "Lao Pu is still holding Xiangqiu." And proudly explained, "This festival is in autumn and not in winter." ”
"Are you afraid of winter? But I am not afraid. Zhu Youyuan said, "Wait for Mei to write poems in the snow." ”
The eight sentences were synthesized in the same way, and Lin Han asked Zhu Youtang: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince having fun?" ”
"I'm afraid that the interest of the kings will be aroused." Liu Jian replied on his behalf, "Come, let me make a new sentence: the autumn feast has not yet begun." ”
"I'm going to grab the first half this time." Zhu Youyuan groaned, "How late is the late stage of the evening festival? ”
"King Xingxian is in the prime of life, how dare you use the evening festival? Since you use the late word, I have to use the old word. Lin Han has more words than others.
He groaned, "Elder Song might as well be a wilderness companion. ”
Li Dongyang immediately picked up a sentence: "Diehan is still known." ”
"No matter the elderly, the young or the young, the evening scene, the new scene, the spring and autumn, all people appreciate it. So,"
Chen Cheng felt the need to cheer up, "Luo Yingzheng and the showy people." ”
"How can a sao man be a hermit?" Lin Han said, and chanted, "The beauty of the empty hermit poem." ”
"Lord Lin is thinking about returning to the mountains and forests, His Highness will not agree, His Highness wants to do something with you."
Yu Suzhong said, chanting the next sentence, "Hide a statue and get drunk." ”
"Lord Yu is thinking that Lord Lin is drinking in the mountains and forests, so he hopes that he will return drunk?
This drunk is not tight, his eyes are hazy, what kind of chrysanthemum to reward! Zhu Youtang smiled in a single bracket, he ended this law,
Pull back to the theme of chrysanthemum, "Drunk and insert two or three branches." ”
"How about a different rhyme?" Zhu Youyuan set his own rhyme, "Drunk and love the cold fragrance and sable." ”
Chen Cheng replied casually: "Yutang Feng came to feast on the palace officials. ”
"Lord Chen is thinking of the scene of the palace, right?" Liu Jian asked.
"No, Lord Liu, please see, which of the chrysanthemums behind the hall of the Lord does not have the talent of a palace official?" Chen Tang flattered the master by praising flowers.
"I see, the palace officials are chrysanthemums, and the giver of the banquet should be the god of flowers?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is 'the god of flowers', but we are here at the beckoning of the god of flowers. Liu Jian said.
"Lord Liu, this sentence can't be put into poetry!" Zhu Youyuan reminded him.
"What is the king panicking about," Liu Jian compressed his words into seven characters, "Ken Gu will return to God on the night of the year." ”
Li Dongyang has not said anything, whoever preempts first, his eyes will turn to whom.
This time, no one rushed to continue the sentence, and their eyes turned to him together.
"Waiting for me?" Li Dongyang groaned, "You must pour the wine in the present dynasty." ”
Yu Suzhong remembered the trip to Wara, and almost lost Zhu Youtang, and he was stunned: "The wind and rain will be hindered before the pregnancy." ”
"If you don't stop the day before yesterday, how can it be tonight?" Zhu Youtang groaned, "The snow and frost are still happy to wither after the end. ”
"Regardless of the day before yesterday and tonight, it is enough to reward Bai Ju!" Yu Suzhong heard Youtang's poems rise, "I don't know where the Tao Path is solitary." ”
"After the snow and frost, the clouds are lovely, and the covenant of the god of flowers is by no means available to everyone." Youtang looked at Yu Suzhong knowingly, and the brotherhood of Pao Ze did not need to be explained, it was all contained in this poem, "Who is allowed to see the move." ”
Qi Sheng said with embarrassment: "His Royal Highness the Prince's poems are too high and unfathomable, and I can't take them away from the original rhyme." I'll get back to the original word from the beginning. ”
The first sentence he started was: Drunk and still feeling fragrant.
Then I have to continue respectfully.
Yes, you all miss Tao Pengze a little, and I will use it contrary to his intentions today. Li Dongyang said.
His next sentence was, "It's not Yuanming's resignation." ”
"Lord Lin blames me for not using the word late, and I also do the opposite." Zhu Youyuan said, "The autumn colors are not over, and the frost is old. ”
"The front road gold armor with frost riding, won a round of applause, although the chrysanthemum can ride with frost, I don't know if you can ride in the snow?" Lin Han's own answer was,
"Bards don't ride in the snow." While chanting and writing, after writing, the voice was not good, and said, "How can I use the riding word first!" ”
"Use it, use it, what's the big deal!" Liu Jian groaned, "How can the two sides talk about the Double Ninth Festival? ”
"When Lord Liu speaks of both sides, does he mean both sides of the chrysanthemum? Isn't that," Chen Cheng said, "and a copy is still in October." ”
"Lord Chen points out the month, and I'll point out the place," Yu Suzhong said, "I also have flowers that no one appreciates." ”
There was only one sentence left, and everyone's eyes turned to Qi Sheng again.
"Waiting for me? This time, I won't answer, every time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speaks amazingly, and His Royal Highness should be the tail. He said.
"What does Lord Lin mean, no longer coupling?" Li Dongyang asked.
"Look at the hour, do you have to be unable to listen to the women, watching a group of us men chanting poetry and getting drunk?" Zhu Youyuan said.
"Okay, I won't let you do today's dogtail, I'll do it myself." Zhu Youtang made a joke and ended the couplet this night, "The old garden is really negative for the next year's poem." ”
"Every other year, it's a while, it's me waiting for the Haiyue Temple, as long as Lord Yu is willing to be the host, I'll come back next year." Liu Jian said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's battle of Warat was victorious and made many miraculous feats; After going through many hardships and nine deaths, it is really a blessing for us to be able to return to Beijing smoothly, and it is a blessing for me to be a good thing. Yu Suzhong raised his glass, "Come, for the future of my Ming Dynasty, do it!" ”
Everyone applauded in unison and drank it all.
