"Please sit on both sides of the canal, Wang will place a wine glass in the upper stream, let it go downstream, the cup stops in front of whom, who will chant a poem with the theme of 'garden', if you can't make it, you need to drink this cup! Those who do not do well need to drink this cup to the fullest! Wang Maha continued to talk about the rules of Qu Shui Liu, but everyone had already played this game many times, and before he finished speaking, they each looked for a place to sit down, just waiting for Wang Maha to put down the wine glass.

Most of the scholars on both sides of the canal were eager to stop in front of them with the first glass of wine, so that they could have the opportunity to show their talents in front of the Taiping County Lord, Master Wang and others! Of course, it would be better if you could get the favor of that daughter! Only Li You was not interested in this, he looked at the pavilion where Zhou Nan was from time to time, but unfortunately, the hazy tulle blocked his view, so that he could find nothing.

"Look at Brother Zhang's confident appearance, but you have prepared poems?" Looking back after being disappointed, he happened to see Zhang Guangtai below looking relaxed, Li You couldn't help but ask curiously, could it be that this is also a generation of talents?

"No, no, no." Zhang Guangtai patted his stomach and said triumphantly, "Brother Wei just likes to drink the most, not to mention that he can't make poems for his brother, even if he can make it, he has to taste the wine of the lord of Taiping!" ”

"Haha, Brother Zhang is really open!" Zhang Guangtai's words caused Lu Jingzhao and Qian Hua on the other side to grow up at the same time, and it is really difficult for such a frank person to be angry.

And the downstream Wang Qingren and Yuan Zhang heard this, the disdain on their faces was a little more, Yuan Zhang's heart became more and more dissatisfied, his teacher Mr. Longxi and his friends Kong Qi and Yuan Jiu were so amazing that they only ended up in a bleak end, and people like Zhang Guangtai and Qian Hua who are not learned and unskilled can occupy a high position, how unfair is the world!

Today, Yuan is bound to win the first place in the poetry club, win the appreciation of the Taiping County Lord, and ask her who the enemy who framed the teacher back then was! By the way, also suppress the arrogance of these gentlemen! Yuan Zhang secretly made up his mind.

"I don't know who will win this first place today! According to Yang's point of view, the Langya Wang's Qianli Ju Wang Ji has been famous for a long time, and it is possible for Su Shaoyou Tianzong Wizard in Shuzhong to be a genius, as for the others, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with them! At the head of the canal, Yang Deming looked at the judges with a smile, and told several young talents who had been famous for a long time, but there was no name of Yuan Zhang.

"Yang Shilang's eyes are like torches, and he also thinks that this Wang Shiheng is the most likely!" An older judge seemed to have thought of something, and swallowed Yuan Zhang's name back into his stomach and echoed.

In the pavilion next to it, the Taiping County Lord and her close friends paid the most attention to Li You's performance, Li Lingyue said with a smile, "Oh, this first glass of wine is best stopped in front of this little lord, so that we can see how talented this handsome little Langjun is, and whether he can be worthy of our sister Zhou Nan!" ”

"You're playing tricks like this, I'll go back and tell my father to let him play Your Majesty to choose a county horse for you as soon as possible!" Zhou Nan bit his lip and shot back without showing weakness.

"Oh, Sister Nan, don't be like this, sister, I still want to be free for two more years!" Li Lingyue hurriedly showed weakness, and turned her gaze to the canal, "It's started, it's begun!" Let's see who this first glass of wine will go to! ”

The joke of the lord of Taiping County seemed to come true, the first glass of wine that Wang Majie put down went with the flow, and staggered to Li You's face, and the ladies in the pavilion immediately became excited, and they flocked to the fence to look at Li You through the tulle, and they couldn't wait to know what kind of poems this little lord could make.

Only Zhou Nan didn't move the place, but she also stretched her neck and pricked up her ears, for fear of missing any detail! As for Danqing, she was so anxious that she kept rubbing her handkerchief behind her, and she also wanted to go to the front to have a look, but how could she leave if the young lady didn't move?

"This is the son of the Jiazhou Bo family, right? I have heard for a long time that Jiazhou Bowen and Wu are both complete, and his heirs should be non-mediocre! Someone in the judgment stroked his beard and said, obviously he had some friendship with Li You's father back then.

On both sides of the canal, the envious and jealous eyes of many scholars fell on Li You at the same time, this guy is really lucky! The opportunity to recite the opening poem was actually given to him, and everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Li You's poem; If they don't do it well, they won't let Li You go easily.

Tsk, I don't want to write poetry at all, do I? As long as I pass the examination of the national eunuch, I can successfully ascend to the throne and enjoy a rich life easily; The reputation of having a talented person doesn't do me much, so why bother with this limelight? looked at the wine glass in front of him blankly, and after a while, Li You sighed secretly, reached out and took up the wine glass and drank it all, intending to admit punishment.

Hey, there was a sigh in the pavilion, they didn't expect that on such an occasion, Li You would take the initiative to admit defeat, and for a while their favor towards Li You was lowered a lot, and some people even muttered in a low voice, Miss Zhou's aunt shouldn't be a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, right?

Zhou Nan also frowned tightly, listening to him talk in his house that day was quite good, he would never be a person who did not learn and did not know how to do it, why couldn't he even make a poem when he came here?

The scholars on both sides of the canal also had different expressions, some were secretly glad that Li You took the initiative to give up and missed the opportunity to be in the limelight, some despised him for not being able to compose poetry, and some were disdainful. Only Zhang Guangtai poked his head, "Brother Xian, what does this wine taste like?" ”

"Sweet and delicious, a rare good wine!" Li You said after a careful reflection.

His relaxed appearance made those scholars even more dissatisfied, and someone immediately sneered, "If you don't admit it if you don't do poetry, why use greedy cups as an excuse?" ”

"Since Gongzi Li has already drunk this cup, let's continue!" Wang Mahaju stopped their argument and put down the second glass of wine.

Everyone's eyes gathered on the wine glass again, the stream flowed slowly, the wine glass rose and fell, and finally stopped in front of Yuan Zhang.

"Good! Let's see Brother Yuan present us with a masterpiece! Before Yuan Zhang could speak, some people in the crowd who knew him immediately began to cheer, especially Wang Qingren was the most excited.

Yuan Zhang was not polite, he stood up and stood up, pacing slowly with his right hand behind his back, one step, two steps to the seventh step, he stopped and began to chant slowly:

"Today into the West Garden, look at the sky.

The northeast is hazy, and the palace is in the clouds.

Love this high place, suddenly like a dirt atmosphere.

The ears and eyes are temporarily clear, and the arms are depressed.

Looking down at the 12th Street, the red dust among the green trees.

The chariots and horses are full of eyes, and they don't see their hearts.

Kong Shengsheng Luoyang, Yuan Jiu Jingmen.

Poor north and south roads, who is the one who covers it. ”
