There are three generals in Daqian, but there is only one named Su.
So there was only one Su Shi.
No one can describe the expressions of the three great scholars at this time, as if they were suddenly hit with a heavy punch in the face. They were shocked, confused, and confused.
No one's name left on this piece of rice paper would have shocked the three great scholars, but Su Shi's name was written in white on this black paper.
The talented people in the audience looked at the three great scholars in confusion, because they couldn't figure out what the three great scholars had seen to have such expressions.
After a long time, Li Han seemed to come back to his senses, and then looked at Li Zhonghong with bright eyes.
"Zhonghong."
Li Zhonghong's mood was extremely complicated at this time. He thought that among the talented people participating in the poetry meeting today, his knowledge and talent were superior to others. However, after hearing this poem, he felt that he was absolutely inferior and even wanted to put it down. Take your poem back and tear it up.
Hearing Li Han suddenly call him, Li Zhonghong stood up in a hurry, but because he was too panicked, he knocked over the wine glass in his hand, and the wine in the glass immediately flowed down the table.
But he couldn't care less at the moment and hurriedly saluted Li Han and said, "Master, please tell me something."
Li Han asked: "Did General Su's second son, Su Shi, be invited to the poetry meeting today?"
This poetry meeting was organized and organized by the Li Mansion. All the organization and invitations were handled by the Li Mansion. Although the final list was submitted to three great scholars for review, they only glanced through it briefly and saw the famous talents in the capital. It was all on top and put aside.
None of the three great scholars could remember whether Su Shi's name was on the list.
Moreover, with Su Shi's talent and knowledge, how could he possibly invite him to participate in the poetry meeting, because Li Han had to suspect that someone was playing tricks on him.
Li Zhonghong hurriedly replied: "Su Shi definitely challenged the talented people in the capital with a couplet that will last forever. The students thought he had a genius, so they invited him to participate in the poetry meeting."
Li Han's eyes flashed, then he looked around and asked, "So, Su Shi participated in today's poetry meeting, where are the others?"
Li Zhonghong shook his head and replied: "Su Shi probably didn't get on the boat."
As he said this, he looked at Qin Yue at table C and continued, "Brother Qin Yue searched for Su Shi everywhere after setting off the ship, but there seemed to be no results."
Qin Yue immediately felt countless eyes looking at him, and then heard Li Han ask: "Qin Yue, have you found Su Shi?"
Qin Yue stood up in a hurry and replied hurriedly: "Master, I have indeed not found Su Shi."
Then he asked doubtfully: "I wonder why Master asked about Su Shi?"
This is also the question of all talented people.
As soon as Qin Yue finished asking this question, he was suddenly startled, and then he couldn't help but asked loudly: "Could this poem be written by Su Shi? Was he on the boat?"
Others only knew that Su Shi was famous for a couplet, but Qin Yue knew that Su Shi was quite talented in poetry. His father and Master Kong were amazed by the poems he wrote, and his younger sister loved it even more.
Qin Yue was still shocked by this poem just now, but now that he thought it might have been written by Su Shi, he accepted it.
The other talented people naturally refused to believe it and started talking about it one after another.
But Li Han's words made everyone quiet.
"The name written at the end of this poem is indeed Su Shi."
After speaking, Li Han turned over the rice paper and showed the original work to the talents.
These five words "General's Mansion Su Shi" at the signature place shocked everyone.
However, Li Zhonghong soon discovered the clues. He said loudly: "Judging from the handwriting, it is clearly written by a woman. How could it be written by Su Shi?"
The other talents also noticed it one after another, and there was a lot of discussion on the deck again.
Li Han couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I don't know the reason for this." Then he looked at Xiang Liang and asked, "Is there any woman here to submit poems?"
Xiang Liang nodded hurriedly.
"who is it?"
"The Pearl Girl on the Painted Boat."
At this moment, a pretty girl came out of the cabin. Xiang Liang immediately pointed at the girl and said loudly: "That's her."
Even though everyone's eyes were on Zhuyu, she still looked elegant. She walked slowly to the front of the stage, saluted the three great scholars one by one, and said, "I have met these three great men."
Li Han immediately asked: "Miss Zhuyu, did you give this poem to Xiang Liang?"
Zhuyu lowered her head and replied, "Yes."
"Who wrote the poem above?"
"My lord, this is written by Miss Nangong Jing Nangong."
After hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Nangong Jing's talent was also top-notch in the capital, and it would be understandable if she occasionally wrote a shocking work.
But Li Han frowned and continued: "Since it was written by Miss Nangong, why did it write about Su Shi of the General's Mansion?"
Zhuyu said slowly: "Because this poem was originally written by Master Su, and Miss Nangong just copied it."
Li Han was still puzzled: "Since this poem was written by Mr. Su, why didn't he hand it over to you instead of asking Miss Nangong to copy it and hand it over to you?"
Zhuyu said: "When the poetry meeting started, Mr. Su was on the second floor of the painting boat and could not attend the poetry meeting for some reason. After hearing the title of the poem, he recited a poem casually, which happened to be heard by Miss Nangong. Miss Nangong was amazed when she saw this poem. , couldn’t bear to bury it, so I copied it down and asked my slave to hand it over to the poetry room.”
Although this explanation is far-fetched, it makes sense. Since someone has confirmed it, this poem is definitely written by Su Shi.
"Where is Mr. Su now?" Li Han couldn't help but ask.
Zhuyu replied: "Master Su has left."
"Left? Where did he go?"
At this time, the boat was still in Jinghu Lake. How could Su Shi leave the boat?
Zhuyu smiled and said: "Master Su saw the stars shining brightly tonight, and he got so excited about traveling that he borrowed a small boat from my master. I'm afraid he's still boating in the lake at this time."
Xie Ning'an couldn't help but laugh at this time: "This Su Shi is also a free and easy person. It's a pity that we only met him today."
After Zhuyu reported the matter, she should have returned to the cabin, but she stepped aside and did not leave. Then she quietly looked at the poems in the hands of the three great scholars.
Sun Chengyi and Li Han also felt a little disappointed, but they still had seven excellent poems in their hands. Although Su Shi left alone, they could still get to know seven talented people, so they didn't take Su Shi's departure seriously. superior.
Li Han put the rice paper aside and couldn't help but sigh: "Since Mr. Su is not on the ship now, no one can win at Xin table, but the winner of Shikou is among the other seven talents. Now continue to announce Ding table The winning poem.”
When Li Zhonghong heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. Although he still didn't believe that Su Shi could write such a wonderful poem, if this poem was really written by Su Shi, then Su Shi's talent would be far beyond his comparison.
However, Su Shi was already boating on the lake at this moment. Naturally, he would not be able to make it back in time for the second round of the competition. So there was no one else who could compete with him in this poetry competition, and he would undoubtedly be the top poet.
Thinking of this, Li Zhonghong finally felt relieved.
