I didn't expect that this poetry conference, which is not just "children's play house", would actually have such a noble and upright person come to participate?
But looking at the old man's posture, it's more like a "big shot" taking advantage of his temper and going out incognito... Judging from the intensity of his awe-inspiring righteousness, all the literati and poets present have to offer him up. How could you let him sit in the corner and drink tea alone?
Withdrawing his gaze, Mr. Sun, who had finally finished enjoying the "flattery", threw out his first couplet: "We meet in different directions across the world!"
As soon as the "lucky lottery" was thrown out, everyone stood up to pick it up.
"I feel heartbroken after thinking about it!"
"Spring passes and autumn comes, and flowers attack us!"
Scholars and talented people rushed to respond to Sun Xuan's first couplet.
In the audience, Wei Hai patted Li Xunshan on the shoulder and asked, "Why don't you stand still and stand up to pick up the pair? You'd better scold him by the way."
Li Xunshan shook his head and said: "The main purpose of this poetry conference is to write poems. I will not participate in the couplets. Let me think about the poems."
Hearing this, Wei Hai nodded, then turned to look at the old beggar and asked with a smile: "Old Wentou, you can memorize all the rules, so it shouldn't be a problem to get a match, right?"
"Think of something for me, I want to scold the pretty guy with a gun and a stick."
The old beggar twitched the corner of his mouth, thought for a moment, and then responded: "I live in a deep well to welcome the fragrance."
"Awesome!" Wei Hai gave a thumbs up, then stood up suddenly and shouted: "Come on, come on, you guys are right, look at me!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was completely silent!
Everyone's eyes fell on this open-minded man.
Wei Hai pointed at Sun Xuan and asked, "What did you write in the first couplet just now?"
You don’t even remember the first couplet, so you just get up and make the right pair?
Sun Xuan felt disgusted in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face: "We meet in different directions!"
"You're in a deep well and you're welcome!" After Wei Hai finished speaking, he sat down and laughed.
At this moment, Sun Xuan almost lost his guard. He never thought why a rough guy who he had never met would insinuate him to his opponent.
The atmosphere at the scene also became weird after this sentence.
After all, everyone present is not stupid. The second line written by the rough guy was clearly calling Sun Xuan a toad sitting in the sky, enjoying the "sweet farts" everyone made to him...
Although these words also mocked the people who had previously flattered Sun Xuan, the main target of attack was still Sun Xuan.
Therefore, even if the scholars and talents present were attacked jointly, they were not very angry.
They all wanted to see how Mr. Sun would respond to this wave of "face-riding taunts"!
Tsk tsk tsk!
A burst of soft laughter sounded in the quiet attic.
Since everyone's eyes were either on Wei Hai or on Sun Xuan on the second floor, everyone easily found the source of the laughter - Ren Yue... It seemed that he realized that his smile was inappropriate, Ren Yue simply picked up the tea cup, covered her face with her sleeves and robe, and drank the tea.
Sun Xuan was caught off guard and felt angry, but now Ren Yue's laughter stimulated him even more, making him feel burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped in public.
"It's an insult to politeness!" Sun Xuan sneered, swung his folding fan, and fanned himself quickly.
Wei Hai's inability to deal with pairs does not mean that he is incapable of using his words.
Seeing the other party scolding him directly, he said angrily: "Hey, I think I am a great talent in that sect, but my belly is really pitiful."
"Miss Ren, you are sitting next to him, haven't you smelled the stench emanating from his mouth?"
Tsk tsk tsk!
Ren Yue, who had been keeping her face hidden by her sleeves, couldn't help but start to shrug... coupled with her laughter, everyone knew she was laughing...
Crack!
Sun Xuan put away the folding fan with a cold expression on his face, but in the next second, he actually raised his hands and bowed in the direction of Wei Hai: "Brother... the poetry conference will continue. If I, Sun Xuan, have offended you in any way, I’m here to tell you something wrong, and I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
After saying this, Sun Xuan bowed to everyone in the audience again: "I have finished my pairing, and I would like to invite the next talented person to write the first couplet."
In the audience, Wei Hai stared at Sun Xuan for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "I'm really looking down on this grandson. He is a villain who knows how to retreat to advance..."
The old beggar nodded: "But let me tell you, Miss Ren's demeanor and her two laughters don't seem to indicate that she has a strong admiration for Sun Xuan as shown in the letter..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xunshan trembled. He didn't say anything, but silently raised his head and glanced at Ren Yue on the stage.
An hour later, the moment of pairing was finally over.
Shopkeeper Mo was straightforward in his work. After taking the stage, he directly explained the conditions for selecting the leader today.
The rules are the same as before, that is, write poems, and everyone in the audience will vote to decide whose poem is better.
As for the topic of today's poem, it was chosen by the female companions of several young men in the box on the second floor, and was chosen by drawing lots.
After she finished speaking, the maid came to the stage carrying a wooden box. Shopkeeper Mo put his hand deep into it and fumbled around for a while, then took out a folded piece of rice paper.
"Interesting!" After reading the content on the rice paper, Shopkeeper Mo asked the audience with a smile: "Do you know who wrote this question?"
"Prince Wang Liang's female companion!"
"I guess she is Mr. Jia Lianbo's female companion!"
"It must be Miss Ren Yue!"
There were quite a few people booing in the audience, but there were also many people who remained silent.
Shopkeeper Mo pointed at the person in the audience and said with a smile: "This young master guessed correctly, it is Miss Ren Yue's topic!"
"The title is - Talented man and beautiful woman!"
Wow!
Many people in the audience showed expressions of "Sure enough," and many of them complimented loudly, saying that the topic was so appropriate for the occasion...
"There is a time limit for one cup of tea to compose a poem. If you think about it well, you can read it out directly, and the Liuyu Pavilion will send someone to record it." After saying this, Shopkeeper Mo walked off the stage, and the whole attic became quiet again. ....
"Ahem!" Sun Xuan cleared his throat, clasped his fists and bowed: "Sun has already written a poem!"
"How long has it been since Mr. Sun had already made up his mind?"
"Otherwise, he is the most talented person in Jiangling Mansion!"
There was a commotion under the stage, and many people were amazed at the speed of Mr. Sun's poetry writing. It was not until Sun Xuan spoke that the audience became quiet.
"Pairs flow in front of the pavilion, and good marriages form behind the jade screen!"
"A talented man and a beautiful woman match each other, and the talented man and the beautiful woman are not envious of them!"
After reading the poem, Sun Xuan bowed again: "Sun is not talented and has shown his ugliness."
These words were like a "command signal", and there were "compliments" from both off and on the stage...
