"Why is this place so lively?" A thick voice rang out.

Someone in the crowd who knew this person exclaimed, "Isn't this the Emperor Li Taifu?" ”

"Yes, isn't this Mrs. Li."

Qin Liusu turned around and looked around, only to see an old man with half-white hair standing in front of him, and the people beside him all consciously retreated to both sides.

The old man smiled indifferently, his voice was full of pleasure, "Yo, there are still people who know the old man, and the old man saw that there were a lot of people here, so he thought about coming over and seeing, who can tell the old man what interesting things are here." ”

Qin Liusu stepped forward and said, "We're testing our literary talent here." ”

Hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qin Liumo, and there was also a trace of majesty between his eyebrows, seeing that the person who answered him looked directly at him without flinching, he felt very interesting, he hid the amazement in his eyes, and smiled casually, "Oh, this is interesting, the old man has not seen such a competition among the people for a long time, and it is the right time to come to this Merlin today." ”

Qin Liusu glanced at the old man speechlessly, and then said with a light smile, "Mrs. Li is joking, these are just jokes between our juniors, where is it worth seeing Mrs. Li." ”

Mrs. Li glanced at the person in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant, and the playfulness in his eyes was even stronger, he was not interested in watching it, but now he really wanted to see this competition, "Since so many people have gathered, this lineup must be not small, and it would be a pity if the old man didn't stay." ”

Qin Liusu saw that the old man insisted on watching, she lowered her head, a triumphant smile flashed in her eyes, there was a prestigious person present, and she was not afraid that Wang Qi would be lost.

"I wonder who are the participants in this competition?"

Qin Liusu smiled, and then led Nalan Kite and Liu Sheng to him, while Wang Qi and the others also walked to Qin Liusu's side.

"It's just us."

This Mrs. Li has always had a deep friendship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Nalan Kite has also seen Mrs. Li several times, she didn't expect that even Uncle Li would come here this time, thinking about how not to be recognized by him, she was pulled to her by Qin Liusu.

The old man was a little surprised to see the Nalan kite, "Kite..."

Qin Liusu saw that Taifu seemed to know Nalan Kite, and immediately rushed before Taifu and said, "Taifu, I call Qin Su, this son is Liu Sheng, and the girl here is Qiu Xiang." ”

The old man frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect Kite to hide his real name.

Wang Qi saw that Qin Liusu didn't introduce himself and was about to report to his family, which Qin Liusu glanced at him and then said lightly, "They are our opponents this time." ”

One sentence simply included Wang Qi and the three of them, and as soon as these words came out, the onlookers all secretly laughed.

Wang Qi was a little depressed, those hidden smiles were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire when they reached his ears, he gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Liusu, and his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists.

The old man's gaze passed over everyone, and then stopped at Qin Liusu, he naturally saw that this son did not want to see the other three, but he was able to express this meaning so obviously, it was really interesting, he found that he liked the kid in front of him more and more.

"Now that you're all ready to compete, is there a fair person?" Mrs. Li stroked her beard, and her eyes were full of smiles.

Qin Liusu knew the old man's thoughts by looking at the old man's dripping eyes, and immediately shook his head, "No." ”

"Then I don't know if the old man has the honor to be your fair man?" Mrs. Li looked at Qin Liusu with appreciation in his eyes, if such a person who is neither humble nor arrogant is hired by the imperial court, it is really a great blessing for this dynasty.

Qin Liusu's scalp was a little numb from Mrs. Li's explicit gaze, she scolded in her heart, and then nodded with a smile, "It is naturally the best for Mrs. Li to be our fair person." Who doesn't know that Mrs. Li's talent is one of the best. ”

Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the rest of the people, "Then do you have any opinions?" ”

Several people shook their heads in unison, "No." ”

"Alright then, tell me about the competition first." So saying, the old man sat down on a chair.

After he understood the general content, he smiled and said, "Since the first round is this chant, then both of you who are going to compete should come forward." ”

Qin Liusu stood calmly in front of the old man, while Wang Qi sent Chen Zhuo, and the two of them saluted the old man.

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Liusu, and he wanted to try this person's talents.

"I have a question now, you can listen to it, since you are in the plum blossom forest, you will take the plum blossom as the theme, and draft a poem, this poem must not appear in the plum word, okay, you have half a pillar of incense time." Mrs. Li squinted and smiled, with a tentative hint in her eyes.

"Half a pillar of incense, this is impossible, even if you are quick to think, it is impossible to come up with it so quickly."

"yes, I'm afraid this game will end in a draw."

Qin Liusu smiled, with full confidence in her eyes, thinking that she didn't memorize those poems in modern times in vain, and after coming here, she read all the books again, such a small request was difficult for her, on the other hand, Chen Zhuo, as if he had been quite obstructed, he wiped his forehead nervously, this is not difficult to make Yongmei's poems, the difficult thing is how not to add the word Mei, thinking that these scholars do their poems on weekdays, often start or end with the words of that theme.

Mrs. Li had been observing that Qin Su, he had thought that this question was not easy, coupled with the time constraint, it was impossible not to be in a hurry, but looking at that Qin Su was not in a hurry, but always maintained that smiling face.

He had to sigh at the greatness of this person's state of mind, he looked at the incense that had burned to the end, and chuckled, "The incense has been burned, I guess you all have the answer." ”

Qin Liusu smiled, and said slowly in the face of the old man's admiring gaze, "The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon." ”

Mrs. Li pondered this sentence carefully, the surprise in his heart could not be described, the refining of the words of the person in front of him was so exquisite, even he sighed to himself, he stroked his beard, and praised again and again, "Qin Gongzi refining words is exquisite, and the old man admires it." ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Mrs. Li's words, and they looked at the man in white in front of them again, and they had to say that after looking at it again, they felt that this person was really worthy of "Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world".

Mrs. Li calmed down the excitement in his heart, and secretly thought about pulling Qin Su into his door, and when he thought that he would have such an amazing disciple in the future, his eyes were full of smiles.

He looked at Chen Zhuo, who was still thinking hard, "I don't know if this son has thought of it?" ”

Chen Zhuo wiped the sweat from his head, and then arched his hand and said, "The younger generation is not talented, but Qin Gongzi is quick to think, I admit defeat." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li said slowly, "Since this boy admits defeat, then this game is won by Qin Su's little son." ”

Wang Qi heard Chen Zhuo actually admit defeat, his face immediately sank, he looked at someone who was proud, his teeth itched with hatred, and when Chen Zhuo came down, he whispered in his ear, "Useless things, pack up and leave this Kyoto tomorrow." ”

Chen Zhuo's face turned pale when he heard this, but he couldn't compete with Wang Qi, so he could only nod his head, "Got it." Then he walked away with messy steps.

"Now for the second competition, please all come up."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng was a little nervous, he glanced at Qin Liusu, and when he received her encouraging gaze, he slowly stepped forward.

"This second item is the pair, I will make the question, which of you is right, who is the winner of this sentence." Mrs. Li raised her eyes to look at the two of them and said seriously.

Wang Qi glanced at the cowardly Liu Sheng, and there was a smile in his eyes.

"My upper link is like snow, you only have seven steps to make the next link, you have to hurry." After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she picked up the tea on the side.

Wang Qi smiled, and sighed in his heart that this topic was too simple, he hooked the corners of his mouth, moved to Taifu Li, and said slowly, "The junior will say it first, Taifu's Shanglian is like a white snow, and I am right about sprinkling salt in the air." ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she only nodded and did not say anything.

Qin Liusu knew that Mrs. Li was afraid that she was dissatisfied with this link, she scolded her, the old fox, and then stared at Liu Sheng, now that he had reached the sixth step, I don't know if he wanted to come up with the next link, Qin Liusu was a little anxious.

After finishing the seventh step, Qin Liusu's heart lifted, and he saw Liu Sheng slowly move in front of Mrs. Li, and arched his hand and said, "Xiaosheng is not talented." ”

As soon as Wang Qi heard this, there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was secretly scolding Liu Sheng in his heart for being stupid, and he actually wanted to fight against himself for chanting poetry.

Which willow sheng continued, "The next link that the younger generation wants to say is that if the catkins are not raised by the wind. ”

After listening to this, Qin Liusu had a new understanding of Liu Sheng, but he didn't expect this person's talent to be so high, and his sentence was much better than Wang Qi's.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li laughed and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, I declare that Liu Sheng has won this game." ”

Wang Qi heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect that he would actually lose to this scholar, and now he has lost two games in a row, if he loses the third game, he should lose face. He angrily walked up to Qi Yuan and whispered, "Wait a minute, if you lose, there's no need to stay here in Kyoto." ”

Qi Yuan listened, trembled, with fear in his eyes, he didn't expect that he would be a wise person, and finally help him to abuse for a place to stay, he smiled miserably, "I know." ”

Mrs. Li glanced at Liu Sheng and Qin Su, the joy in his eyes could not be hidden, he couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect to come to enjoy a plum blossom, he actually found two wizards, he was so lucky, after the game, he had to think about how to pull these two people under his door, if such a treasure was robbed by others, he would not regret his death.

"Yanagi, it's great that you're right." Qin Liusu said and gave Liu Sheng a thumbs up.

Liu Sheng smiled, his white face was flushed, and he scratched his head embarrassedly, "Qin Gongzi praised it falsely, Xiao Sheng is just a fluke." ”
