"Oh, this ......" Xiao Feng listened to it, and wondered in his heart, secretly thinking: "If what this palace maid said is true, then wouldn't I, the second brother, and the fourth brother just now make trouble for others?"

At this time, the lights in the room came back on, but I saw that the ten musicians and the seven dancing girls were all gone, and several palace maids were preparing the four treasures of the study for the candidates, waiting for them to splash ink.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng believed that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly took Dongfang Undefeated and Xuzhu to apologize to the palace maid.

After accepting their apologies, the green-clothed palace maid said loudly to the suitors: "Everyone who has come from afar, the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess are very gracious. We apologize for the inconsiderate hospitality of our country. The previous seven dancing girls were all the personal maids of the Queen Mother. Even if you can't get the favor of Her Royal Highness the Princess, if you touch the hearts of the seven sisters with your extraordinary literary and martial arts, the Queen Mother is willing to be a matchmaker, so that the destined people among the guests and her old lady's maid can achieve a happy marriage. ”

When these high-rollers heard that they couldn't marry the princess and had the good thing of retreating to marry a maid, they were eager to try.

Someone couldn't wait to say: "I can only use guns and swords, and if I want to answer the question of a poem or book, this is difficult for me! Is the martial arts I showed in archery just now enough to marry a maid of the queen mother?"

The crowd listened. I felt that his tone was like buying and selling in the bazaar, picking goods, and bargaining, and I couldn't help laughing.

Dongfang Undefeated remembered the last time when the red lotus of the head of the Seven Daughters lured Xuzhu to break the ring, and leaned into Xuzhu's ear and whispered, "Hey." I said, Fourth Brother, is the girl you came to Xixia to find the woman in red among the beauties who just presented the dance?"

When Xu Zhu heard this, he recalled that he had committed a crime/adultery/precept that day, and he couldn't help but blush, and quickly shook his head and said, "No." No, second brother, you're mistaken. What the younger brother is looking for. Someone else, the girl in red, just looked a little like my sweetheart. ”

Dongfang Undefeated listened to it, and said with his head bowed: "Oh." I see. I thought: "Li Qiushui came up with this question today." It is not easy to test the literary talents of the candidates and re-test their determination, killing two birds with one stone!"

The green-clothed palace maid continued: "Please give an answer within a stick of incense, and the maid would like to thank you in advance. ”

Although Prince Zongzan does not know how to write and ink, there are still talented people in the Tubo palace after all.

In order to cope with the literary test that may be encountered in this courtship, the Tubo king Ali Gu has long asked a famous teacher to write a lot of poems for Zongzan singing about landscapes, flowers and plants, insects and fish, birds and beasts, and even heroes and beauties. Let him memorize it by rote.

Now that he is required to describe beautiful women in literature, Zong Zan thought about it for a while. picked up the pen and began to write a "beautiful woman's song" that he had memorized before.

Xiao Feng's situation is similar, in order to win the position of the Western Xia concubine, a few months ago he also asked the strategists of the Southern Liaoning Courtyard to write a lot of literary masterpieces for his courtship, and he took the time to remember them well, and now they can finally come in handy.

I haven't read much of Xuzhu's other books, but I have read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, so in the face of this topic, he had to write something like "color is emptiness, emptiness is color" or something, which can be regarded as a sword going off the rails, barely to the point.

Zhao Li, the prince of the Song Kingdom, read poetry books and asked him to compose poems and lyrics, so he wrote down a seven-law ancient poem "Yaotai Group Jade Meeting".

Although Dali is a small country in the west, Duan Yu's knowledge in his belly is no less than that of the prince of the Song Kingdom.

The prince of Goryeo, Wang Yan, was keen on painting, and when he got the title, he immediately used his Danqing pen to splash ink to depict the beauty in his heart.

Dongfang Undefeated pondered for a moment, and then raised his pen, facing the rice paper in front of him, there was a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and he quickly completed his work.

After a stick of incense, everyone handed in their answer sheets, and the green-clothed palace maid called several princesses' maids, took all the poems and paintings, and sent them to Li Qiushui in the other room for her to see.

After another meal, the palace maid returned to the study and said loudly: "Let you wait for a long time, and the maid will announce the guest list for passing the test." Then he pointed out the names of dozens of people present, Xiao Feng, Dongfang Undefeated, Duan Yu and other dignitaries from various countries naturally did not omit their names, and even Xuzhu was also involved in danger.

The people who were called by their names were naturally ecstatic, but the losers were not convinced, and shouted one after another: "Why is he not me?" "Why can't I if he can pass the test?" "Yes, yes! Take out the proof of selection and show it to us, otherwise, how can you convince the public." "It's a mule, it's a horse-drawn horse!" "Yes, I'd like to see what kind of good poetry the most literate man can make!"

Seeing that the public was angry, the green-clothed palace maid had no choice but to order: "Come, present the three works that are listed as the top three by the Queen Mother." ”

In the midst of the discussion, the three maids presented the three works.

The third work is Duan Yu's "The Goddess of the Western Regions", which describes that the seven girls can dance amazingly, the songs are moving, the whole text is brilliant, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, which is really a wonderful poem.

After reading it, the people present couldn't help shouting "yes", and they were convinced.

The second is Wang Yan's painting, in which the seven women have bright eyes and good eyes, jumping on the paper, with exquisite figures, light and flying movements, giving people a sense of fluttering immortals, full of peerless beauty.

It can be seen that this prince's painting work is by no means something that can be practiced in a day or two.

When everyone saw it, they kept nodding their heads and saying yes.

When the No. 1 work unfolded, the audience couldn't help but fall silent.

I saw that on the huge rice paper, there was only one word, a big "Xi" word.

It turned out that this turned out to be the undefeated calligraphy of the East.

Although it is only one word, this word is not simple, and it gives people a very hazy feeling, as if there is a painting in the word and a poem in the painting.

"I wonder if you can see the mystery of the word Marshal of the East?" asked the palace maid in a crisp voice.

Everyone in the room scratched their ears and cheeks for a while, but they were silent.

Duan Yu's mind was racing, and he suddenly seemed to have an understanding, and opened his mouth to say: "This simple word 'Xi' contains the appearance, posture and singing and dancing charm of the seven sisters of Fang Cai. ”

After listening to Duan Yu's explanation, everyone couldn't help but be impressed.

The hazy feeling given by this word is exactly in line with the inner temperament of the seven dancing girls.

And the shape of this character is graceful, and every stroke seems to outline the exquisite posture of the seven dancing girls, which is really ingenious.

The green-clothed palace maid then explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, what Prince Duan said is certainly good, and the Queen Mother also saw another meaning of this calligraphy work. The literal meaning of the word 'xi' refers to the morning sun, and the daylight contains the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple, which are the colors of the clothes worn by the seven dancing sisters. One word contains seven colors, and seven colors refer to seven people, so the Queen Mother and her old man think that this is the most expressive work. (To be continued......)
