There was a lot of discussion outside the second floor, and there were voices of disagreement with Su Jiudong's poems, but only Gu Rong looked stunned after hearing Su Jiudong's first two verses, and fell silent.

The first sentence of the poem written by Gu Rong just now expresses the meaning that the river water is like snow drops flickering under the moonlight, highlighting the meaning that the river flows steadily but not calmly.

However, Su Jiudong's two sentences are the opposite of him, focusing on writing that the lake is calm, so quiet that the bright moon in the world is reflected without any difference.

Gu Rong didn't know if Su Jiudong was suspected of fighting with him, but he was immersed in her interest.

At this time, Su Jiudong was not disturbed by external things, no matter how others commented and what opinions they had, Su Jiudong still ignored it, buried himself in writing, splashed ink, and said with words in his mouth: "A river of water and water is full of autumn, and there is a full moon in heaven and earth." ”

The last word had just been read, and the last stroke in Su Jiudong's hand had just been written, and a full quarter of an hour had just passed.

After hearing the last couplet, everyone present was surprised.

I thought that Su Jiudong Jianglang was exhausted, and his aura was exhausted by the three-wheel fighting poem just now, but Su Jiudong could always make a surprising turn at the end, which was jaw-dropping and surprised.

The essence of this poem is all in the sentence "a river and a thousand autumns".

The calm and open river surface and the clear night sky of late autumn with the moonlight are reflected up and down, and there is also a bright moon as a view, the moon in the night sky is real, but the ethereal waning moon on the river surface is more agile.

The so-called "ten thousand autumns" is the moonlight of the river to show the color of the mid-autumn season, and the realm of poetry has been improved in just three words.

Before Su Jiudong could show the written poem calligraphy to the people outside the cloth hall downstairs, there was already a cheer first: "What a wonderful sentence!" ”

And Governor Yu Shi also gave his own judgment on Su Jiudong's poems, summarizing them with two lines of Lu Fangweng's poems: "Where to cut the sorrow and the knife, who can win the brocade robe." ”

There are allusions in the poems of Lu You quoted by the history of Governor Yu.

Song Zhiwen, who was known as the "Ten Friends of Xianzong" at the banquet of the authorities, was appreciated for his outstanding talent, so much so that the emperor took back the brocade robe that had been given to others and rewarded Song Zhiwen instead.

Governor Shi used Lu You's poem to praise Su Jiudong's outstanding writing with "poetry into robes", which was even more than the praise of Gu Rong just now, and the clear-eyed people seemed to be able to predict who the final winner would be.

Governor Shi's praise for Su Jiudong just now was from the heart, and after the boast was spoken, he realized that revealing his emotions was likely to affect the subsequent voting, so he could only sort out his mind again and restrain his expression.

However, Governor Shi did not regret expressing his praise for Su Jiudong's poems, if he was stingy with his praise for talented people, it would be a great tyranny.

Governor Shi walked to the desks of Su Jiudong and Gu Rong from above, obviously looking indifferent, but he couldn't hide the excitement and happiness in his eyes.

"The time has come, Miss Shanxiu and Gu Gongzi have each got wonderful poems and sentences, and we and other participants also have the opportunity to appreciate the talented people competing on the same stage, how fortunate they are."

It is really commendable to be able to find talented people like Su Jiudong and Gu Rong in this poetry fight.

Therefore, Governor Shi decided to compile a "Fighting Poetry Collection" after the end of the Fighting Poetry Meeting, which recorded the wonderful poems and sentences of the literati who participated in the Fighting Poetry Meeting, and Su Jiudong and Gu Rong's were even more described.

Governor Shi turned to Shopkeeper Qin and ordered, "Shopkeeper Qin, you can start leading people to vote now." ”

The procedure of the extra race to vote was already the largest and most arduous task, all because of the huge number of people waiting outside the Wangjiang Tower and the cloth hall in addition to the literati who participated in the poetry meeting on the second floor.

If you want to call for voting, counting votes, counting and a series of processes, there is no time for more than half an hour to be summed up.

Therefore, the shopkeeper Qin could only call all the shop guys in the cloth pavilion and the official messengers brought by Governor Shi to collect, summarize and count the votes together.

When the onlookers saw that the voting was in progress, they immediately spontaneously lined up and wrote their favorite champion candidates in front of the voting table prepared by Qin's shopkeeper one by one, casting their precious votes.

When the crowd wrote the words of the champion, they did not write Su Jiudong's "Shanxiu" or Gu Rong's name, but imitated the words written by the two of them when they drew lots just now.

The people who supported Su Jiudong wrote the word "true", taking the meaning that Su Jiudong agreed, and the people who supported Gu Rong also wrote the word "meaning" like him.

Since the collection and subsequent counting of votes had been carried out for too long, Governor Shi asked the shopkeeper Qin to count the votes of the participants on the second floor first.

There are a total of fifteen literati who participated in today's final poetry meeting, not counting Su Jiudong and Gu Rong, there are only thirteen people, and the statistics are fast, and there is no need to worry about the phenomenon of equal votes in the voting results. 8090 Chinese

Because Su Jiudong and Gu Rong needed to avoid suspicion, they couldn't let the two of them directly know the voting results of the participants, so Governor Shi led Su Jiudong, Gu Rong and Wen Yiheng, who was watching the battle, to the third floor to sit and wait.

"Please also invite Miss Shanxiu, Gu Gongzi and Wen ...... Childe went to the guest room on the third floor with the official to rest. ”

Wen Yiheng, who had been silent for a long time, corrected Governor Shi: "Governor Shi, Master Shi, can only call the son of the first child. ”

Governor Shi Cheng nodded in agreement, but still called Wen Yiheng "Wen. Childe", I don't dare to call the word directly.

Outside the Wangjiang Tower, the crowd that came to the cloth hall tonight to watch the battle was as high as more than 900 people. The workload of this summary of nearly 1,000 people is really huge, so waiting for the results of the vote is long.

But fortunately, the voting work of the thirteen people on the second floor of the Wangjiang Building was not as heavy as outside, so the four people waiting on the third floor quickly learned the results of the votes of the literati on the second floor.

The shopkeeper Qin went up to the third floor with the voting paper, sandalwood box and voting results, and then went to the side hall with Governor Shi Zhuan to conduct the final vote of the two of them.

Governor Shi brought Su Jiudong, Gu Rong, and Wen Yiheng back to the second floor, and only then did Governor Shi announce the results of the vote just now.

Governor Shi put the sandalwood box in front of the desk and solemnly announced: "This sandalwood box contains a total of fifteen pieces of voting paper, in addition to the thirteen scholars who entered the meeting, the official and the shopkeeper Qin also conducted their own voting. ”

"Although the official knows the voting results, he still sang the votes publicly in front of Miss Shanxiu, Gu Gongzi and everyone present to show the fairness and justice of today's poetry fight."

Everyone waited with bated breath, Governor Shi put his hand into the sandalwood box, randomly pulled out a note, opened it, and the word "true" was written on it, and then announced loudly: "True!" Miss Yamahide, one vote. ”

Draw another piece of paper, unfold it, and see the word "meaning" come into view: "Meaning!" Gu Gongzi, one vote. ”

When the twelfth ticket was drawn, the votes of Su Jiudong and Gu Rong were unexpectedly tied and there was a tie, depending on the situation of the last three tickets.

The other literati present were obviously more concerned about the voting results than Su Jiudong and Gu Rong, it was obviously a cool mid-autumn season, but some people were so excited that sweat oozed from their foreheads.

Governor Shi poured out the only three voting notes left in the sandalwood box, picked up one casually, unfolded it with his hands, and read: "Really! Miss Shanxiu, seven votes. ”

At this time, Su Jiudong, who was named, began to get nervous, fifteen people voted, and now Su Jiudong still has seven votes, and the fourteenth vote announced in the future is likely to become the match vote.

If the fourteenth vote is cast for Su Jiudong, no matter whether the final fifteenth chapter vote is opened or not, Su Jiudong can directly win in this fifteen-vote game.

If the fourteenth vote is for Gu Rong, it means that the two of them are tied with seven votes, and continue to wait for the final fifteenth vote to determine the final result.

Wen Yiheng, who was sitting next to Su Jiudong, couldn't help but lean closer, and secretly took advantage of the cover of his wide sleeves to hold Su Jiudong's hand tightly, transmitting his excitement and encouragement to her.

Governor Shi picked up the fourteenth piece of paper, everyone held their breath, and all the eyes present were staring at the small piece of paper in Governor Shi's hand, which was very likely to determine the final winner of the ten-day poetry meeting.

Governor Shi also took a deep breath before unfolding the paper and reading: "...... True! Miss Yamahide, eight votes! ”

The suspense was revealed, Su Jiudong temporarily won the fifteen votes of the participants on the second floor, and the last fifteenth vote was also opened, still voted for Su Jiudong, Su Jiudong won as many as nine votes, narrowly winning two votes Yu Gu Rong.

Wen Yiheng was about to embrace Su Jiudong into his arms, Gu Rong threw a congratulatory look at Su Jiudong, and the scholars who voted for Su Jiudong on the spot were also excited and happy.

The sound of joy that erupted from the second floor of Wangjiang Building alarmed everyone who were voting downstairs at this moment.

After the shopkeeper Qin went downstairs to announce the results of the votes cast by the literati on the second floor and the votes cast by him and Governor Shi, he encouraged the people downstairs, and the voting work was in full swing.

On the second floor of Wangjiang Building, after the vote, the tense and serious atmosphere of the poetry party turned into a "tea party", and the writers who had been nervous for ten days could finally relax their minds and drink happily at this moment.

Gu Rong raised the fruit wine to congratulate Su Jiudong, as if he was happier than he had won the first place: "Congratulations to Miss Shanxiu for her victory, she deserves her name and is expected by everyone." ”

"The outcome has not yet been decided, at present, the little girl is only temporarily leading in the fifteen votes on the second floor, and there are nearly 1,000 votes outside the building, and the winner may not be me." Su Jiudong said modestly from the bottom of his heart: "Gu Gongzi's talent is much higher than mine, and you are the real expectation." ”

Wen Yiheng also stepped forward to join the chat with fruit wine in his hand: "The people who can participate in today's poetry fighting meeting are all literati with real talents and learning. Whoever wins in the end is worth celebrating. ”

Wen Yiheng drank all the fruit wine in his hand, and then naturally took the fruit wine that Gu Rongjing had given to Su Jiudong just now, and drank it up again.

After drinking, Wen Yiheng slowly said the reason for his actions: "Miss Shanxiu is not tolerant to alcohol and is not suitable for drinking, so the fruit wine that Gu Gongzi respected just now was drunk by Heng instead of her, and I asked Gu Gongzi not to mind." ”
