Chapter 12: The Gambling Contract

"Could it be that the second brother's poems are a few points better than Wang Yue's?"

Zhou Qi quipped, these two brothers are good at everything else, but their mouths are a little harder.

"Ahem, let's see how other people's poems are going first."

Xiao Huaiyi looked embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.

Xiao Huaiyi and Zhou Qi didn't stand up to see if there were any other shocking works.

After greeting each other, everyone sat down.

A man mustered up the courage to stand up and said:

"Wang Shizi's poems are really masterpieces, but today is the annual Winter Sun Festival, although the poems below are not as good as Wang Shizi, but what if Miss Hongling likes the poems below."

Some people in the audience chimed in:

"Yes, you can't come in vain, it's good to sing a poem that is worthy of Miss Hongling's invitation!"

"That's it, if Miss Rouge likes it!"

"Of course, this conference is a poetry and dance, everyone can show their talents and be good at themselves, but they must speak in order."

Youlan said with a smile on her face, her eyes falling on Fang Yuan, the prince of the ministry.

"I have been friends with Brother Wang for many years, and his intelligence is above me, but since Miss Youlan said it, then I will also chant a poem in Xia, and you should not compare it with Wang Shizi's poems."

"Haha, Fang Shizi is polite, just chant the poem, my Hongling girl is still listening to it."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

Fang Yuan gestured and came to the middle.

"There is plum without snow and no spirit, and there is snow without poetry and vulgarity."

"The sunset poems are full of snow and snow, and the plum is very spring."

There was applause at the poetry meeting, although this poem is not as good as Wang Yue's work, but it is also a good work.

After a burst of praise from everyone, others also chanted poems against each other, but most of them felt that they could not compare to Wang Yue and Fang Yuan, so they gave up composing poems this time.

About two hours later, a man came downstairs to the poetry meeting.

The guests cast their gazes one after another.

"Why is Commander Yang here, isn't he guarding the border in the north?"

"You don't know this, Commander Yang returned to the capital yesterday, and he has been on duty in the north for three years, and now the north has been replaced by Commander Xue."

Zhou Qi saw that this person was brave and extraordinary, with a murderous look on his face, and his sharp eyes would wake up in the middle of the night when he saw it.

"Why is he here too?"

"Oh, do you know who this person is?

"This person is Yang Tai, the son of Yang Taiwei, the commander of the cavalry, my eldest brother's friend, I remember that this person was unruly before, and later after joining the army, he has improved his outlook and made great achievements in many battles, but this person is not very good at reciting poetry."

Zhou Qi pondered a little, which was really interesting.

"Commander Yang is famous for his military exploits, and since he came to the poetry meeting after returning to the capital, there must be bold words, can you let me appreciate Commander Yang's poems."

Fang Yuan bowed forward and looked at each other.

"What Fang Shizi said makes sense, and I hope that Commander Yang will compose a poem, so that everyone can rely on the demeanor of the commander."

The others chimed in.

Yang Tai's face was a little embarrassed, he only returned to Beijing after three years at the border, just in time for the Winter Yang Festival, and he could relax his nerves that had been tense for many years.

But I slept too hard yesterday, and got up too late in the morning, so I rushed here, where can I care about preparing poems, and my expression gradually became nervous.

If you are the commander, how can you be cowardly, and say something hard.

"Since you say so, then you can only obey your fate."

Yang Tai looked at the heavy snow outside the window and held back for a long time before he said a word.

"Piece by piece."

"Two, three, four, five."

Some people couldn't help but laugh out loud, but most couldn't help it.

Yang Tai's face was a little ugly, and he hesitated for a while.

"Six, seven, eight, nine."

There was another burst of laughter, only louder this time.

"Fly into the plum blossoms and don't see them!"

Zhou Qi said the end of the poem with a smile, his voice was not big or small, and it was covered up by this ridiculous voice, and it is estimated that only a few people heard it.

Yang Tai's eyes lit up, and he suddenly walked out of the embarrassing situation, and shouted:

"Fly into the plum blossoms and don't see them!"

After Yang Tai finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Qi, his face was a little familiar, but he didn't remember who it was, so he nodded his head.

He is a master of three grades, and his hearing is naturally extraordinary.

"Good, good, good!"

Some people who ridiculed Yang Tai were also deeply admired!

"I didn't expect it, my sister-in-law's sentence is really a stroke of genius!"

Of course, Xiao Huaiyi heard Zhou Qi's words, and said with an incredible face.

"It's just a feeling, not as good as the second brother." Zhou Qi said lightly.

"That's, your second brother and I..."

Xiao Huaiyi was just about to brag when he saw the outstanding Youlan girl come to the middle.

"This poem is really wonderful, that piece by piece of snowflakes, for the commander is the Hun thieves, no matter how many enemy troops come, as long as they dare to invade our land, they will be killed, so that they will be wiped out!"

Youlan came to Yang Tai and saluted, then said again with a smile.

"The commander of this poem seems simple and clear, but in fact it is the commander's fierce loyalty, which makes the little woman admire it very much, and the commander please take a seat."

Yang Tai enjoyed it very much after listening, and all the previous haze disappeared, but Yang Tai did not take a seat, but sat not far from Zhou Qi.

"Please also hope that Commander Yang will not blame Zaixia, recalling the indecent act just now, Zai is really ashamed."

Some people followed suit.

"It's okay, it's okay, poetry conference, how can there be no laughter, you don't have to care."

"The commander is broad-minded, it's me and the villain."

The poetry club was not interrupted by this little episode, but more and more people began to compete to try it, Yang Tai can make such good poems, how can they be under him.

"When the frost is the road, the snow is ready to open in the cold."

"I don't know if the court is falling today, I suspect that the forest flowers bloomed last night."

"Beauty is as white as snow, but I am a pig."

"When you open the door in the morning, the snow is full of snow, the snow is clear, the clouds are light, and the sun is cold."

"I was playing with wheels at home, and the snow came to my door."

The talents of the capital show their abilities and show their talents.

In addition to Wang Yue, Fang Yuan, and Yang Tai, others also produced a lot of beautiful poems, and of course there were a few troublemakers.

In less than half an hour, I came to the order of composing poems, and came to Zhou Qi's side.

Zhao Rang took the lead in standing up, came to the middle of the hall with confidence, and said with a fist:

"In Xia Zhao Rang, I have met everyone, today I have a bet with Xiao Huaiyi and Xiao Ergongzi."

At this hour, the poetry meeting was held, and everyone was already exhausted, and when they heard that there was a lively view, they immediately became interested.

"But what kind of bet?"

"In the next and Xiao Huaiyi poetry competition, you will judge the superior, if anyone is slightly inferior, just shout three times in the most lively place on Qingping Street, 'I am a big stupid pig', and learn three pig screams."

"Good, good, good!"

"Xiao Gongzi can have such a thing?"

"It is true."

"Then there's something to see today, haha."

A crowd applauded.

After the quiet, Zhao Rang also began to compose poems.

"When the six flying flowers enter the house, sit and watch the green bamboo turn into Qiongzhi."

"Now it's good to look at the tall buildings and cover all the evil roads in the world."
