"Everyone in the new imperial examination has written a poem, let us old guys who are officials see how your writing is?"

The official said solemnly.

A serious appearance broke the excitement of the party.

"Good!"

"That's how it should be!"

Several scholars agreed.

Other examiners should also be on the side.

Everyone was in high spirits.

Only Zhao Xuanqi held his wine glass, looking confused.

Isn't this a lively party? Why do you still have to compose such a thing as a poem, do you still have to compete?

I finally finished the exam, and I have to compete at this time, which is too disappointing.

Drinking happily, but ending up to make poems in a disappointing mood, is really unexpected.

Zhao Xuanqi glanced at the scholars next to him and looked at them with expectant expressions.

He asked the scholar next to him cautiously, "Why do you still want to compose poetry at this time?" Wouldn't it be too much of a disappointment? ”

The scholar next to him is named Wang Zizai, and he is the second place in this exam.

He glanced at Zhao Xuanqi and chose to answer: "This is a tradition, in the past, the top ten lifters would come to the highest level of Ziyun Tower to gather, and then compose poems at the climax." ”

"The poems written down by the pen will be placed on the Ziyun Tower for future generations to refer to and pass on to future generations."

"The reason why this gathering is held is to a large extent to continue this tradition."

"I see!" Only then did Zhao Xuanqi understand that this was actually a tradition.

This restaurant gathering is to continue this tradition.

The problem is, I don't know about this tradition.

No wonder other people have normal expressions on their faces, and their feelings are such a dirt dog.

All the top ten people will come here to write poems, which is indeed an elegant and romantic thing, and it is not strange for readers to take this bite and become a tradition.

Zhao Xuanqi thought of another layer in his heart: it seems that the backstage of this restaurant is not ordinary, and he has the ability to invite new imperial examination people to come over to make poems every year.

With these verses, it is definitely a major tourist feature of the local area, and there will be no shortage of guests who spend a lot of money, even if outsiders come to Ziyun County, they will definitely come to this restaurant for sightseeing.

"What are you thinking?"

Wang Zizai looked at Zhao Xuanqi's suddenly realized expression, and felt unhappy in his heart.

You know, you're in second place.

If it weren't for Zhao Xuanqi, a guy from a poor background, who suddenly won the first place, then he would be the first this time!

He looked at him with disdain: "What? Don't you dare to compose poetry? You shouldn't be plagiarizing and cheating in the first place, don't stammer, you can't even write poems, your true form is revealed. ”

He naturally knew that it was impossible to cheat in the imperial examination, and knew that Zhao Xuanqi's level was absolutely high, but he just looked down on such a person with mud legs and a poor background, and he was not happy, so he couldn't help but belittle him.

The prejudice of the big clan is extremely serious.

Zhao Xuanqi chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Ignore the phrase.

His ignorance is a kind of arrogance in Wang Zizai's opinion, this guy even dares to be arrogant? This guy looks down on me!

On the contrary, it was more solid that Wang Zizai could not compose poetry in his eyes, and Wang Zizai continued: "Don't you even have the courage to refute? It seems that your first picture is a false table, and you can't even write a verse. ”

Wang Zizai is very unwilling to admit defeat in his heart, the pride of the wealthy family makes him look down on the bottom figures, why did you, a poor child, win the first place? The first one should be mine!

Zhao Xuanqi looked at Wang Zizi in front of him again.

He looked surprised.

I didn't expect this second child to be still peeking at his first throne, looking unconvinced.

Do you think you don't know how to write poetry?

He looked at the unconvinced Wang Zizi seriously, and did not refute.

Just opened his mouth and spit out two words: "I'm in a hurry." ”

As we all know, the fewer words you can refute, the more you hit the other side's focus, and the more lethal it will be.

This is the most basic common sense as a keyboard warrior.

Using this trick to draw A, you can often deceive the opponent's big move.

At this moment, these two words have a significant impact on Wang Zizai.

"You... You...?!

Wang Zizai's pupils were wide open, like a fox that had been stepped on by the tail, and a series of rebuttal words came out of his mouth: "Where am I in a hurry? Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, I'm just telling the truth, I'm second, you're just lucky to get the first, why do you say I'm in a hurry? ”

"There are people in my family who are officials, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, a large number of precious books, and countless slaves to serve, and there are countless restaurants and other properties in my family, which one of you can compare to me? But if I'm lucky, the first one is mine, why do you say I'm in a hurry? ”

If Wang Zizai's results crushed Zhao Xuanqi, he would naturally not be anxious, but unfortunately, he actually ranked second and was crushed by Zhao Xuanqi.

Sure enough, Zhao Xuanqi's flat A directly deceived Wang Zizi's big move.

Facing Wang Zizai, who was a little anxious, Zhao Xuanqi continued to play the essence of the keyboard warrior.

He turned his head, looked at Wang Zizi very seriously, and then nodded solemnly.

This nod has a deep meaning, making Wang Zizi think that Zhao Xuanqi has admitted defeat, compared to his thousands of acres of fertile land and family power, Wang Zizai's heart is just full of a trace of refreshment, but Zhao Xuanqi continued to open his mouth and spit out three words: "It's too urgent." ”

Three words are inserted into the heart, making people want to vomit blood.

Wang Zizai: ......

I worked hard to tell you so many things, but not only did you not listen, but you were even more sure that I was in a hurry, did you respect people?

His blood pressure soared instantly, his whole face was red, and he suddenly felt that he wanted to vomit blood!

He closed his mouth and took a deep breath.

I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry.

Isn't it just the first to lift people, what's the big deal?

I'm also the second, so I don't envy his first.

It took him a while to calm down, turn his head around, and no longer look at Zhao Xuanqi.

One more look will explode!

"I hope your mouth is as good as your poetry, but don't lose to me, the second in poetry."

The small actions of the two also let the other new imperial examination people around them see it, as partners of the same big clan, they naturally chose to support Wang Zizi.

"It's just luck that you got the first place, don't even be able to write a poem later, if you lose face to this extent, don't blame everyone for driving you downstairs!"

At this time, Wu Youwei on the main seat spoke: "Take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so that our new imperial examination people can write poems!" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone came to clean up the table, cleaned up the table in front of Zhao Xuanqi and the other ten people, and placed pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it.

Another official asked, "What kind of verses should I do this time?" We should take a topic. ”

"It's spring, and I think it's good to use spring as the theme."

"No, no, the scope of spring is too large, and the descriptions of flowers and trees and all kinds of spring items are counted in the spring, so it's not good to score."

"Indeed, these new imperial examination people are strong and must be a little more difficult, and I think it is very good to use the Yellow River water as the theme."

"You can't do this idea, the Yellow River is too far away from our Ziyun County, there is no Yellow River in our county, many people have not seen the Yellow River, how can you make good poems?"

Several officials argued, so they all looked at Wu Youwei in the main seat.

Wu Youwei stroked the beard at the corner of his lips, then slowly stood up, walked back and forth in the attic, and suddenly patted his head and said:

"We are now composing poems in Ziyun Tower, Ziyun Tower is the first restaurant in our Ziyun County, with a long history, witnessing the changes of history, countless literati and scholars have been here, it is better to take the building as the theme, how?"

"Eighteen mountains and rivers in the Northern Wei Dynasty, countless ancient buildings of all kinds, what Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower, Guanque Tower, are all very good themes......"

"Okay, then let's take the building as the theme!"

"Or you can use the theme of climbing the stairs!"
