Chapter 13: The Seven Steps of Poetry
"Cui Yu and Cui Dan of the Cui family are late, please don't mind the son!"
When I heard that the two people in front of me were the children of the Cui family.
Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
"It's not too late, it's not too late, the two of you are here at the right time!"
Cao Zhi smiled slightly, and then welcomed the two in.
Seeing that the legendary Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian were so polite, it really flattered the two.
looked at Cao Zhi in front of him, and then recalled Cui Yan's anger when he received the invitation.
The two glanced at each other, and at the same time, they saw doubts in each other's eyes.
……
Inside the compound.
The people sat down in turn.
At Cao Zhi's suggestion, Chen Lin walked to the middle of the banquet and said loudly:
"It's not easy for everyone to come together today!"
"First of all, we should thank the initiator of this tea party, Zijian Gongzi!"
Chen Lin didn't leave a trace, first gave the credit to Cao Zhi, and then said:
"This grand meeting is the first grand event after the imperial army entered Yecheng, Cao Sikong attaches great importance to this, otherwise, he would not have specially sent Zijian Gongzi to preside over here!"
"The talented tea party, as the name suggests, is a talented friend, you are all people who have read poetry and books, and you have a wide range of family studies, so this event, please also actively participate, don't deliberately hide it because Zijian Gongzi is the son of Sikong!"
As soon as Chen Lin's words fell, someone chimed in:
"With Mr. Chen's words, we will naturally do our best, but with Zijian Gongzi here, even if we try our best, it is just an axe for the class!"
The one who speaks is the judge of the truth.
The trial is from the Wei County Judge.
In the past, one of the six strategists under Yuan Shao came from the judge, and Cao Cao led the army to besiege Yecheng, which was the trial to lead the army to garrison.
For this reason, Cao Jun suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, the nephew of the trial, Xianrong, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light in time, took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate, and surrendered the city, so that the trial family was not liquidated.
However, the judge also knew that because of the trial and matching, there was a gap between himself and Cao Cao.
And they're always looking for opportunities to bridge that gap.
Therefore, when they heard that Chen Lin was asking for credit for Cao Zhi, they immediately stood up and waved their flags and shouted.
"Yes, although we can be regarded as full of poetry and books, but compared with Zijian Gongzi, it is just candlelight and Haoyue, which cannot be compared, cannot be compared!"
Immediately after the trial, Feng Jiafeng Hao immediately answered.
The Feng family is also from Wei County and is a local family.
With the two people of Zhenzhen and Feng Hao taking the lead in speaking.
At this time, the children of the other families present suddenly couldn't sit still.
Originally, they still had the pride of the family.
Thinking that although Cao Zhi is powerful, he is not bad, plus everyone is of the same age.
Therefore, even if they had the intention to praise Cao Zhi, they were embarrassed to speak.
But now, when I saw the judge and the Feng family licking Cao Zhi on their knees, they didn't even want their faces.
At this time, they also began to sit still.
So, under the leadership of these two people.
The children of other families put down their pride and constantly praised Cao Zhi.
All kinds of meaty voices are even more casual.
All of a sudden, a good "talent tea party" turned into Cao Zhi's touting conference, which really didn't make Cao Zhi expect.
"Hehe, fourth brother, since everyone likes you so much, and your father often praises you for your intelligence, take this opportunity, why don't you improvise a poem for everyone!"
At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
Don't think about it, Cao Zhi knows who is speaking.
As for Cao Pi, after seeing his words, he attracted the attention of everyone present.
Seeing that his face was not red and he was not panting, he continued:
"Father once said that your talent is unparalleled in the world, in this case, you should write a poem for everyone within seven steps, after all, everyone is here for your fame!"
"What, seven steps into a poem?"
After hearing Cao Pi's words, everyone changed color.
After all, there are talents who are talented.
But seven steps into poetry, in this era, is unheard of and unseen.
Cao Pi in front of him seemed to be praising Cao Zhi.
But in fact, Cao Zhi was roasted on the shelf.
To put it bluntly, I want to watch Cao Zhi make a fool of himself.
With such sinister intentions, everyone present was not an ordinary person, so they naturally saw it at the first time.
But at this moment, no one stood up to speak for Cao Zhi.
There's no way, who called the person who spoke was Cao Pi!
"Zijian, or I'll beat him up now, so that he won't dare to be bad again!" Next to Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang proposed.
"No!" Cao Zhi waved his hand and signaled Cao Zhang to calm down.
Although Cao Zhi also wanted to use Cao Pi's big ear shaving hard at this time.
But in this current environment, if Cao Zhi really beats Cao Pi.
Then it will not be Cao Pi who will lose face at that time, but Cao Cao.
Cao Pi grasped Cao Zhi's psychology, so he dared to make a big statement.
When I saw Cao Zhi staring at himself indifferently at this time.
At this time, Cao Pi, instead of panicking, pretended to be calm and said:
"It's okay if Zijian can't do it, after all, not everyone is so genius!"
This sentence seems to excuse Cao Zhi, but in fact, it is saying that Cao Zhi is not a genius.
"No, isn't it just seven steps to become a poem, simple!" Cao Zhi stopped Cao Pi's continued play.
After looking around, he finally fell on Cao Pi's body and said with a smile:
"In order to prevent people from saying that my poem was written before, I also asked my brother to make a proposition on the spot, so that those who are young have nothing to say!"
Cao Zhi deliberately put the words "small people" very seriously.
"Good!"
Seeing that Cao Zhi continued to install forks, Cao Pi also moved the real fire at this time.
He didn't believe that Cao Zhi could really become a poem in seven steps.
"Everything in the world, each has its own duty, such as the dog watches the house, the chicken reports the dawn, all follow their own duty, in this case, you take the rooster to report the dawn as the theme, and compose a poem on the spot!" Cao Pi said quietly.
Cao Pi's meaning is obvious, that is, let Cao Zhi follow his duty and follow the rules.
However, just after Cao Pi said this.
Cao Zhi, who was on the other side, almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.
If you didn't know that Cao Pi was not a traverser.
Cao Zhi couldn't help but want to ask, "Did you start a group on purpose?" ”
However, although poems about the dawn of the rooster are rare, they are not impossible.
"There it is, that's it!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in Cao Zhi's mind, and an ancient poem about the dawn of the rooster jumped on the paper.
"Hehe, you made me do this, no wonder I did!"
Looking at Cao Pi, who was proud at the moment, Cao Zhi couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.
So, under the gaze of Cao Pi and everyone present.
Cao Zhi pretended to take the first step, and then said slowly: "Chicken ......"
