quiet!
There was silence for a while, Xu Jing's face froze, and the people around him were also speechless for a moment. It was not that no one among them could understand the second line of the second line, but it was definitely not so fast. Yang Ying's second line of work was actually blurted out?
Did he really do it on his own, or did someone else do it for him?
Won't! After all, this pair was a pair they came up with during an internal competition. How could others know about it?
And Yang Ying said: "You have made two combinations in a row, it's my turn to make one!"
really!
Since it is a competition, we cannot just let one side pose the question.
Xu Jing's expression changed slightly and he said, "Then please ask the prince-in-law to come up with the first couplet."
Yang Ying deliberately shook his head and thought for a moment: "The harp, the harp, the pipa, the horns of the eight kings."
quiet!
The surroundings fell silent again, even quieter than before. You could have heard a pin drop.
Looking at the weird and astonished faces, Yang Ying thought to herself: "Is this couplet so difficult? I just picked the most impressive one among the widely circulated couplets."
Indeed, in Yang Ying's time, this couplet had already been recited by others. Because it was a famous couplet, it was widely circulated and everyone could recite the upper and lower couplets. However, nowadays, there is really no such thing as the upper and lower couplets. Anyone who has seen this couplet should know that in Yang Ying's time, this couplet was only published after extensive solicitation.
"Everyone! Please!"
Yang Ying also put her hands behind her back and waited for others to respond.
"Hurry! Hurry up, right?" Li Chenglin urged impatiently: "I tell you, as fast as my brother-in-law was fighting just now, you have to fight against him as fast as possible, otherwise you will lose. ”
Wu Shiwen and the others discussed in low voices for a while, but in the end they couldn't come up with it.
"Compared with the couplets, we gave in."
Wu Shiwen did not let anyone else confront him. Indeed, as Li Chenglin said, Yang Ying blurted out the pair they had chosen. Even if they confront each other now, they would still be considered a loser.
But Wu Shiwen could not give up easily, so he said: "The prince-in-law is really smart and quick, but the couplets are just ordinary and elegant, and it is difficult to be used in the court. Let's compare the poetry and the court policy."
"Then just follow Mr. Wu's wishes. I wonder how Mr. Wu wants to compare?"
"Everyone of us here will write a poem and a policy statement. We will not talk about romantic affairs or leisurely affairs. We will choose one side of the policy to assist the government, or discuss it, or offer suggestions. If the prince-in-law can win the first place, I will have nothing to say. It can be said."
"What a good Wu Shiwen! This is a competition between me and so many of you! The competition is still about your majors. Maybe I can write very well, but who dares to say that I will be better than the professionals!"
As he said that in his heart, Yang Ying actually said: "Okay!"
At this time, he really had no room to retreat.
Yang Ying immediately asked someone to prepare pen and ink for everyone. Wu Shiwen was thinking by himself, but Xu Jing and Su Yan were all whispering to each other, obviously discussing with each other.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Li Chenglin pointed at the people who were whispering to each other and said: "Although I have never passed the exam like you who hate literati for all eternity, but I heard that you can only take this kind of exam by yourself. Once we discuss each other in the exam room, then He will be immediately disqualified from the assessment."
Xu Jing and others did not discuss with each other.
"No!" Yang Ying smiled and said to Li Chenglin: "Your Highness, King Qi, they can write whatever they want, and discuss whatever they want, even if they work together to write a poem or an article. It's okay to fight me.
Because no matter what you write, you can't win against me. "
"you?"
Su Yan scolded: "Consort, you are too crazy!"
"Am I crazy?" Yang Ying smiled lightly and said, "I'm just stating a fact."
Others couldn't help but want to scold Yang Ying, but thinking of Yang Ying's quick thinking just now, they didn't dare to underestimate Yang Ying for a while.
"What should I do?" Xu Jing asked Su Yan and others unconsciously.
"How about we just follow what he said and combine our efforts to collectively write a poem and a policy statement?"
"I think so. What does our reputation mean? If we really lose, do we really have to surrender to him as he said?"
"We must not surrender, even if it damages the reputation of our bachelors in the Qin Mansion, we cannot betray His Highness the King of Qin."
Everyone decided at once.
…
An hour later, Yang Ying threw the pen aside and said, "I've finished it. I wonder how you finished it?"
Yang Ying raised her head and looked at Su Yan and Xu Jing, and was startled. She saw a lot of torn paper next to them, and several paper balls rolling down on the ground. As for the white paper on the table, there were a few Ink, but obviously unwritten.
"You haven't started writing yet?"
Xu Jing and everyone looked at each other: things were really beyond their expectations. They originally wanted to work together to write an eternal masterpiece, but no one expected that they would come up with an idea and he would make a suggestion.
Although Xu Jing and Su Yan had different statuses in Prince Qin's palace, they were all talented people who were famous all over the world. When it came to writing essays and poems, they really didn't agree with anyone.
As a result, you and I were arguing and couldn't write a complete sentence.
"The time has not come yet..."
Su Yan unconsciously wanted to play a trick, after all, they had not set a time limit before.
Xu Jing said, "We have finished writing."
As he spoke, he pointed at Wu Shiwen. Sure enough, the paper in front of Wu Shiwen was already filled with writing.
"Okay!" Yang Ying said, "Then please read out your masterpieces!"
"It's better for the consort to invite you first!"
Seeing that Wu Shiwen was still a little behind, Xu Jing wanted to let him finish. Yang Ying was not in a hurry and let Wu Shiwen finish to avoid disturbing his train of thought.
Until Wu Shiwen finished writing, Yang Ying took out the poem manuscript and read: "Singing to wine, life is like morning dew, the passing days are more bitter. Generosity should be given with generosity, worries are unforgettable, how can we relieve worries? Only... Mountain Never tire of heights, never tire of the depth of the sea, the Qin Mansion admires the virtuous, and the world returns to its heart.”
A song "Dan Ge Xing" ended with Yang Ying's increasingly passionate tone, and the whole audience was silent.
Wu Shiwen, Xu Jing, and Su Yan all had blank faces.
"Okay, okay..."
Li Chenglin couldn't help but applaud, but no one around him responded for a while. King Qi wondered: Is this good or bad?
Yang Ying glanced at everyone: They are all celebrities in the world. It depends on whether you have the courage to admit that this is a good poem... Although "Zhou Gong Tubu" was changed to "Qin Mansion Mu Xian", it is also because there is no such thing in this world. Duke Zhou!
"Pa bang bang..."
A burst of rhythmic single applause rang out, and Wu Shiwen's expression was silent, and tears filled his eyes unconsciously.
"Consort! I, Wu Shiwen, admit defeat."
