Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Xia Jingyun wanted to do.
"Tell me, is it because Shi Zixian went to Sishui Prefecture twice to challenge him, so Mr. Xia also wants to challenge him twice in a row?"
"Well, it's very possible! Otherwise I can't explain it!"
Gradually, everyone felt that this guess was very reasonable, and it became the consensus of most people.
"Relieve your anger! Tooth for tooth, Mr. Xia is worthy of being a role model for our generation!"
"That's right, if you dare to step on me twice, I will step back on you exactly once! Not once less!"
"Am I the only one who thinks that he is a little too petty in doing this? Scholars like us should put morality first. Such hatred must be repaid. I'm afraid it's not the right path!"
"Yes, you are the only one, and you are the chosen one. We all think he did the right thing!"
"That's right, look at your tone and compassion. Just wait while I go to White Horse Temple and ask the Bodhisattva in that temple to stand up. You can sit on it."
"Why are you so angry and uttering evil words? When we discuss it, we should speak freely. What? Isn't Xia Jingyun still speechless?"
Everyone started arguing while talking. On the other side, a group of dignitaries on the second floor were also confused.
On the one hand, Shi Zijun felt that Xia Jingyun was bullying others too much, and on the other hand, he was worried that his cousin would be humiliated, making him angry and worried;
The British public housekeeper and others looked hesitant, their eyes seemed to want to eat Xia Jingyun;
Qin Yuwen stood by the window and smiled, "Interesting, this boy is interesting, I like him very much."
Qin Sichao stood next to him, frowning slightly, but this time he did not speak in agreement.
In front of Xia Jingyun, the old professor also frowned and said angrily, half-seriously: "You kid is deliberately not letting me rest, right?"
Xia Jingyun apologized quickly, "Please forgive me, sir. It really happened for a reason. It just so happens that I admire your talent and learning. After this incident is over, I want to hold a banquet in Mingyu Tower to ask for your advice. I hope you will give me your advice."
These words made the old professor feel comfortable. Thinking of the fine wines and delicacies at Mingyu Tower, the old gentleman, who was famous but not rich, swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, if I spend more time with you young people, I can feel younger." , I will accompany you one more time today."
After settling this end, Xia Jingyun looked at Shi Zixian, "Master Shi, you're not going to break the contract in front of so many people, are you?"
Shi Zixian stared at Xia Jingyun's face, trying to see clearly what he was thinking, but in the end he found nothing.
As if the previous promise was still ringing in his ears, he could only nod his head as if appointing.
The old professor had returned to sit in front of the host's stage. He first slapped the wood to calm everyone down, and then glanced at both parties, "Since we had an appointment before, and you two have reached an agreement, the next step is for you two." The second competition. Do both sides have any objections?"
Xia Jingyun naturally shook his head. Although Shi Zixian was full of dissent, publicly breaking his promise would be tantamount to ostracizing himself from the scholarly community. Therefore, he could only fight in a corner.
The old professor nodded, "In that case, according to the agreement, Guangling Prefecture Shi Zixian will choose the test items first."
Shi Zixian looked at Xia Jingyun and thought about the common brawl events. He suddenly had a plan in his mind and said: "Touhu, Shuanglu, Jiu Ling."
"Ahem!" The old professor immediately interrupted him, "According to the rules of the Brawl, you can only choose one of these entertainment items!"
After saying that, he glared at Shi Zixian dissatisfiedly, did he really think that the big fight that the imperial court acquiesced to was the same as the eating, drinking, playing, fighting, and cockfighting of your playboys? What grade!
Amid a burst of laughter, Shi Zixian bit the bullet and selected five items.
Go, Shuanglu, long and short sentences, couplets, endorsements.
He can be regarded as a dojo inside a snail shell, knowing how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Although I lost at Go, it was my biggest reliance and I couldn’t give up;
I have played Shuanglu and other games since I was a child. Xia Jingyun came from a humble background, so he must have played less, and maybe he could win;
Long and short sentences and couplets were selected from several items that had to be selected. It was already calculated to discard writing poetry;
Endorsement refers to randomly selecting a book, each reading a stick of incense, and then the host randomly selects a passage to answer questions. It is a test of memory. Although Shi Zixian himself is not confident, he is willing to bet that Xia Jingyun cannot do it!
In this way, as long as he doesn't lose too badly, he won't be too embarrassed.
He walked forward and sat on the edge of the chessboard, relaxing and calming down.
In the previous game, Xia Jingyun made too many evil moves, all of which he had never seen before. This time, he was prepared and careful with his moves. He might not lose!
But full of scheming, he encountered an accident at the first step.
"Giving up and admitting defeat?"
The old professor looked at Xia Jingyun with wide eyes, his face full of surprise and confusion.
Except for him, all the onlookers were also dumbfounded.
Xia Jingyun actually chose to give up and admit defeat?
You proposed this competition. You just beat him in Go, so why did you give up?
Xia Jingyun smiled nonchalantly, "I was a little tired from playing just now, let him have a round."
The old professor looked at him seriously, "Are you sure?"
Xia Jingyun nodded, "OK."
The old professor took a deep look at this young man who always surprised him, sighed, and said loudly: "In the first round, Guangling Prefecture Shi Zixian wins!"
This time, even the people in Guangling Prefecture did not cheer. The whole hall was silent and looked at Xia Jingyun silently.
Only Shi Zixian sneered in his heart, "Go crazy, I will capsize your boat in the gutter!"
Nonsence! No, the boat capsized in the river!
"Now, for the second round, the test event, Shuanglu!"
When Shi Zixian stood up confidently again, what greeted him was another confusion and surprise.
The old professor felt that his brain could not accept the information from his ears, and looked at Xia Jingyun in shock, "Are you going to give up and admit defeat again?"
Xia Jingyun nodded, "Isn't it possible?"
The old professor frowned, "If you really admit defeat, you will lose two rounds in a row and there will be no retreat."
Xia Jingyun shrugged, "I don't know how to do this, so I will lose even if I compete."
The old professor stared at him for a long time, sighed, and said loudly: "In the second round, Guanglingzhou Shi Zixian wins!"
There was an uproar!
No one could figure out why Xia Jingyun had to admit defeat two games in a row and push himself to a dead end.
"I see!"
One move suddenly said, "He is humiliating Guangling Prefecture and Mr. Shi in retaliation for Sishui Prefecture being trampled twice! What could be more humiliating than allowing you to fight back in two games and defeat you easily?" Woolen cloth!"
When everyone heard it, hey! It really is!
Thinking about it this way, even some of the people who defended Xia Jingyun before felt that this was a bit too much.
When Xu Dapeng heard these discussions, he quit immediately!
"How can we just let others sit on our heads and shit and pee on us? When we retaliate, we will jump out and say that you should be more generous and be merciful to others. Then when others bullied us, how did you do it? Won’t you come out? Damn it, are you cheap?”
He did not lower his voice, and it was clearly heard in the ears of the people around him. Everyone blushed in shame and immediately silenced their voices.
The old professor naturally heard these discussions. Although he felt that Xia Jingyun did not seem to be such a shallow person, he really could not see through the other party's true thoughts.
However, at his age, there are not many things to care about, and there is no need to pursue the truth in everything. Therefore, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said loudly: "The third round, long and short sentences, please Surabaya Zhou Xia Jingyun came up with the question."
Everyone looked at Xia Jingyun and thought to themselves: After losing two games in a row, he won't be a monster again in this third round, right?
But reality once again surprised them.
Xia Jingyun said to the old professor: "Sir, I would like to ask our classmate Zeng Jimin from Sishui Prefecture to help me fight. Is that okay?"
The old professor frowned, "This is a bit irregular."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Zixian was already busy saying: "Sir, I agree! I agree!"
Only a fool would disagree!
When it comes to composing poems and short and long sentences, as long as he doesn't compete with Xia Jingyun, his chances of winning will be much higher!
As for Xia Jingyun's plans, it's up to him, as long as he can win!
He couldn't care less now.
Zeng Jimin, who had communicated with Xia Jingyun in advance, hesitated again. He looked at Xia Jingyun and said, "Brother Gao Yang, can I do it?"
Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, don't you want to find your place again? Just go ahead and do it, I'll be with you for everything!"
Zeng Jimin thought for a while, nodded heavily, and came to the field.
"What is this Xia Jingyun going to do? Isn't this just messing around? What do you think everyone is doing? Are you just messing around with him?"
Yunmengzhou's Cheng Jiaoyu muttered in a low voice, and Bai Yunbian turned to look at him, "Cheng Jiaoyu, please keep your voice down, otherwise I'm afraid your face will hurt when all the truth is revealed."
Cheng Jiaoyu's expression changed, "You mean he has other motives?"
Bai Yunbian hummed, "He is definitely not a messy person."
In the room on the second floor, Shi Zijun frowned as he watched the progress downstairs.
What on earth is Xia Jingyun going to do!
In the field below, Zeng Jimin has already opened his mouth to ask a question, "Please write a long or short sentence on the topic of friendship."
He pondered for a moment, wrote his own work on paper, and then took the lead in reciting it.
"I'll pour a full cup of green wine to stay with you. Don't go back in a hurry. One part is spring, two parts is sorrow, and one part is wind and rain."
The flowers bloom and fade, and how many of them come. Let's sing loudly and stop complaining. I don’t know where we will meet again next year when we have peonies. "
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Zeng Jimin with admiration.
Although it is not as stunning as Xia Jingyun's poetic talent, it is definitely not a mediocre work!
The old professor also looked at the paper handed over by Zeng Jimin, feeling one part spring, two parts sadness, and one part wind and rain.
Yes, good sentence.
This person is also quite talented and learned. If he fails, he can be abducted to the Imperial College.
He opened an hourglass and started timing, "Within one stick of incense, please give an answer to Guanglingzhou Shi Zixian!"
Shi Zixian looked at the empty paper in front of him, his head was as big as a bucket, and his brain was a ball of mush.
On the second floor, when Shi Zijun saw this scene, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and his expression changed, "No! It's terrible!"
He stood up suddenly, opened the door, and hurried out.
"Hey, isn't that the little stone from the Minister of Rites?"
Qin Yuwen happened to be by the window and saw Shi Zijun running away, and said in surprise.
Qin Sichao looked at his back, still frowning.
He didn't care much about this big fight. It was only when things got serious that he became a little interested to see how Xia Jingyun, whom he had met once before, behaved.
Therefore, with too little information, he didn't think of anything deeper for a while.
Not to mention the commotion upstairs, Shi Zixian downstairs finally managed to hold back a long or short sentence before the hourglass ran out.
Copied it on paper, handed it to the old professor, and then read it to everyone.
"The deep greenery dyes the green clothes in spring. Near the door of the house, the egrets are swaying and flying. They are proud of themselves. People traveling from south to north are old and friends are few. The fishing boats return at sunset. Mandarin fish are fat."
After everyone listened, they nodded slightly at first, but before they nodded twice, they froze with strange expressions, and immediately looked at each other in confusion.
This. How come this is not even the most basic rhyme and oblique rhyme correct?
No, a few days ago, Shi Zixian single-handedly selected each state. His poetry writing level was at the top level, right?
Shi Zixian originally secretly praised his quick wit, but suddenly he found that the faces of the people around him became strange.
This thing is a paradox. If a person knows that when writing poetry, he must pay attention to the contrast between oblique and oblique and the matching of rhyme and rhythm, then he will definitely do this most basic thing first.
But if he doesn't know, then naturally he won't pay attention to this.
This also means that if a person writes poems or short and long sentences without even handling the rhymes and rhymes well, then he must not know how to compose poems and lyrics.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Xia Jingyun walked out slowly at this time, clapping his hands, with a smile on his face and emotion in his words.
"It turns out that this is how Mr. Shi really relies on his own poetry and prose. I admire him, I really admire him!"
This Xia Jingyun is really ready to ridicule every chance he gets!
Everyone chuckled, and suddenly their smiles faltered. That's not right!
What he said is that he really relies on his own poetry level?
Does this mean that Shi Zixian’s previous poems and essays were not composed by himself?
The expressions of all the teachers and disciples, especially those who had been defeated by Shi Zixian and his men, suddenly changed and they stared at Shi Zixian fiercely!
