Chapter 122: West Lake Lotus
"Hmm!"
Yue Donglai nodded, and then smiled at Wang Jingzhi and Wang Chaoping:
"Since it's a poetry competition, it's natural to have a topic, and ask two people to come up with the question!"
"Hmm......"
Wang Chao stroked his beard for a moment, and then smiled at Wang Jingzhi:
"Today's poetry meeting was initiated by Miss Luoyou, according to the old man, why don't you let her come up with the topic?"
"Hehe, I'll wait for the comments, and she will come up with the question, it's just right!"
Wang Jingzhi nodded, and then looked at Ran Luoyou with Wang Chaoping.
Ran Luoyou was looking forward to the students composing poems, and when he saw this, he stood up, and blessed Wang Jingzhi and the two, his eyebrows opened, and a laugh came out from behind the veil:
"The little woman thanks you two for your love, since this is the case, the little woman is welcome!"
Ran Luoyou did not refuse, after finishing speaking, he looked at the West Lake outside the window, and said with a smile:
"The West Lake lotus is the most prestigious, although it is not in full bloom at this time, but there is also a unique scenery, you sons will take the West Lake lotus outside the window as the theme, each make a poem!"
"Good! Yueping Tower was built here to take the scenery of the lotus in the West Lake, and Miss Luoyou's question is just right! ”
As soon as Ran Luoyou's question came out, Yue Donglai praised it and smiled.
And Wang Jingzhi and Wang Chaoping also smiled and nodded.
Immediately, Yue Donglai slapped his face again.
Suddenly, several maids walked out from behind the beaded curtain with trays, each holding pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and distributing them to each student's low table.
At this time, Yue Donglai spoke again:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the title has been out, please show your talents, if you make a poem, please write it on paper, the time is limited to the sound of Miss Luoyou's piano, the end of the song, by Mr. Wang and Professor Wang, the best one won the crown! Please! ”
The voice fell, Yue Donglai stretched out his hand to the students to ask, and looked at Ran Luoyou.
Ran Luoyou smiled and sat down again, then placed his jade finger on the strings, and with a 'dang', the sound of the piano floated out, instantly echoing throughout the banquet hall.
The sound of the piano is the beginning!
But the sound of the piano didn't last long.
The students' faces suddenly turned solemn and quieted down.
Some sat behind their desks, shaking their heads and groaning.
Some people are pouring wine there, ready to use wine to stimulate poetry.
Of course, more students stood up, moved to the window, and looked out the window at the West Lake lotus.
Zhao Yu, like these people, also stood up, walked to the windowsill behind him with wine, and looked at the West Lake outside the building.
The West Lake is rippling!
From the windowsill on the fifth floor, you can see a quaint stone bridge spanning the lake, connecting the two sides of the West Lake.
Under the stone bridge, the lotus floating leaves that have just stretched out are scattered on the surface of the lake, exuding spring.
There are small boats and canopy boats cruising on the surface of the lake, shuttling among the green floating leaves, and the waves ripple clearly.
On the bow of the boat, there are ladies holding flower umbrellas and admiring lotuses, riding the wind and waves.
On the stone bridge, there are still scholars with folding fans gently swaying, looking obsessively at the lotus under the bridge, at the tent boat passing under the bridge hole, and at the beautiful ladies on the bow of the boat.
That scene is like an ink painting in motion.
Looking at everything, Zhao Yu gradually fell into a daze, and his heart was peaceful.
And he didn't drink the wine in his hand, but put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
At this moment, time seems to stand still, only the beautiful sound of the piano lingers, adding more tranquility to this dynamic ink painting.
"As long as I'm here, don't think about getting that eyebrow line today, and don't think about it!"
Suddenly, a cold snort broke the silence, shattering the ink painting in Zhao Yu's eyes.
Zhao Yu regretfully withdrew his mind from the window and turned his head to look behind him.
Seeing behind him, Yan Beichen stood here at some point, looking at him with a sneer.
"During the county exam, I can press you to win the first case, and I can also trample you under your feet in today's poetry competition!"
Seeing Zhao Yu looking at him, Yan Beichen spoke again, his thin lips pursed, full of meanness.
Zhao Yu frowned slightly, and looked around.
But because Yan Beichen's voice was very small, and the sound of the piano in the building was covered, it did not attract the attention of other students, and everyone was thinking about their own poems.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu frowned, turned around and stood half-leaning against the windowsill, and did not speak, just shook the wine glass lightly, and looked Yan Beichen up and down with a pair of eyes.
It looked like watching a clown show in a good way.
Yan Beichen was annoyed by Zhao Yu's look, a pair of peach blossom eyes glared suddenly, and whispered:
"Boy, you dare to despise me?"
Zhao Yu still didn't speak, but the mockery in his eyes was even worse, and there was even a hint of encouragement in his eyes towards Yan Beichen.
In that way, it was like encouraging Yan Beichen to continue to work hard to perform.
But the silent blow is the deadliest!
Yan Beichen wanted to use his identity as the head of the county case to hit Zhao Yu well, but Zhao Yu not only did not fight back, but also encouraged him to continue performing, which made Yan Beichen punch the cotton, full of violence and unable to send out, and it was uncomfortable to hold in his heart.
In particular, Zhao Yu's demeanor at this time made Yan Beichen feel like a clown when he saw it, and he was even more angry in his heart.
Full of anger and unable to vent his anger, Yan Beichen suddenly became furious, his face turned red, and the folding fan in his hand made a 'rattling' sound.
It's just that the occasion is not right, even if Yan Beichen is full of anger, he doesn't dare to be presumptuous under the noses of Wang Jingzhi and Wang Chaopin!
"Boy, you wait for me! I'm going to win the crown and beat you later, and I'm going to let everyone know that you're not as good as me!" I am the head of this county not let me, but deservedly! ”
Afraid that he couldn't help but explode, Yan Beichen was no longer angry with Zhao Yu, and finally snorted at him, turned around and walked to the side.
Looking at Yan Beichen's departing back, a chuckle flashed at the corner of Zhao Yu's mouth, and he didn't pay attention to him anymore, turned around again, and looked at the West Lake lotus outside the window.
Suddenly, calm was restored here, and the conflict here did not attract the attention of others, and everyone was still busy with their own business.
But despite this, Wang Jingzhi, who paid a lot of attention to Zhao Yu and Yan Beichen, still noticed that the two of them were wrong, and also found that the two had contradictions.
It's just that because Yan Beichen has his back to them, Wang Jingzhi and Wang Chaopin didn't see Yan Beichen's angry appearance, they only saw Zhao Yu's narrow look, so the two didn't know how much contradiction Zhao Yu and Yan Beichen had, they just regarded it as an arrogant disbelief between the students.
And this kind of unconvincing is a common thing among young students.
"Huh! It's good to be unconvinced! Only if you are not convinced, can you burst out with stronger strength! ”
Retracting his gaze from Zhao Yu and Yan Beichen, Wang Jingzhi smiled and looked at Wang Chaopin beside him.
Wang Chao stroked his beard and nodded:
"Young people are arrogant and energetic, and if they are not convinced, they will compete, and they can confirm their knowledge by comparing with each other, which is more conducive to improvement! I hope they can have an eye-catching performance today! ”
"Huh? Are you optimistic about that elementary schooler? ”
Seeing the two singing and harmonizing, Yue Donglai next to him was shocked.
He was a person who saw the six roads, and naturally discovered the inappropriateness of Zhao Yu and Yan Beichen, and was surprised to see Wang Jingzhi and Wang Chaopin talking about them like this.
Of course, Yue Donglai was not surprised by Yan Beichen, he had heard of Yan Beichen and knew that he was a talented man, he was mainly surprised that Zhao Yu, an unknown person, would receive special attention from the two of them.
"I don't think so! The students here are very good, but the elementary school student's performance downstairs was a little bright before, and he has some expectations for him! ”
Wang Jingzhi and Wang Chaopin shook their heads.
Seeing this, Yue Donglai was interested in Zhao Yu, and looked at Zhao Yu again.
Zhao Yu didn't know what the first few people were talking about softly, and he fell into the confusion of the beautiful scenery of West Lake at this time.
The other students are also racking their brains to think, and some of them have already made the first draft, but they are polishing carefully.
Time passes slowly in the beautiful sound of the piano.
After half an hour, the sound finally stopped.
At this time, Yue Donglai stood up and slapped his face:
"That's it! When the time comes, please transcribe the poems you have made on paper and sign your names! ”
