"This young man is unfamiliar."
Yueniang immediately saluted Long Chen respectfully.
Long Chen ignored Yue Niang and walked straight in. Two women at the door came forward and said, "Young Master, please stay."
Long Chen stopped and turned to look at He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng.
He Wenbai immediately explained: "Brother Tim, it's your first time here and you have to pass the enlightenment test first."
Children reading and practicing calligraphy are called Enlightenment. When entering the Wangqing Pavilion, they first recite poems and write poems to show that they have read books, so it is called Enlightenment Pass.
Yueniang smiled slightly and said: "Master, we have rules in Wangqing Pavilion. If you want to enter the pavilion, you must match the couplets on the door or compose a poem."
Hu Zhiheng said to Yueniang: "Yue Niang, this young man is very talented and his literary talent far exceeds the two of us. There is no need to pass this enlightenment level."
Yueniang didn't recognize Long Chen after putting on makeup, so she wanted to give it a try and said, "Young master, please forgive me, we have rules in Wangqing Pavilion. If we break the rules, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone."
The people watching at the door booed, saying that they must abide by the rules of Wangqing Pavilion.
Long Chen smiled and said: "When you are in the country, do as the Romans do. Don't break the rules. Please come up with a question."
The great scribe Yu Shinan was already killed, so how could a mere brothel stump him?
Two women at the door came forward, each holding a box in their hands, one containing a couplet and the other containing poems.
He Wenbai said: "Brother Tim, you can choose any one."
Long Chen stretched out his hand to pick one up, but Yueniang smiled and waved away the two women and said, "What do you call this young master?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Huang Hongtian."
Yueniang's mind turned and she realized that Huang Hongtian had never been heard of among the celebrities in the capital.
"Young Master Tian is so talented that he is so disrespectful to his poems in this ordinary way. There once was a down-and-out scholar in Wangqing Pavilion who left a couplet, but no one has ever been able to match it. I wonder if Mr. Tian is willing to give it a try?"
It was obvious that Yueniang wanted to test Long Chen.
The onlookers around immediately said:
"Did Luo Ying leave it behind?"
"Luo Ying went to Beijing to pay a visit to Beijing more than ten years ago. Although he had a literary name, he was not familiar with government affairs. He failed to get the official position he wanted, and finally lived in seclusion."
"He fell in love with Miss Qiulu from Wangqing Pavilion at first sight, and left this couplet before leaving. No one can match it to this day."
He Wenbai became anxious and said: "Yue Niang, no one has been able to match her for more than ten years. How can such a difficult couplet be placed in the Enlightenment Pass?"
The big boss is placed in Novice Village, and the group is immediately wiped out.
Hu Zhiheng also said: "Could it be that Yueniang can't believe our words?"
Yueniang smiled and said: "How could it be? I just trust the words of the two young masters, so I dare to do anything."
This was obviously an attempt to intimidate Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Bring it!"
Yueniang waved, and a woman held a piece of agarwood with the first couplet engraved on it: A pair of jade arms and a pillow for thousands of people.
The onlookers talked a lot, saying that the first couplet seemed simple, but it also revealed helplessness and sighs.
Luo Ying likes Miss Qiulu, but is unable to take her away and can only watch her receive guests.
Yueniang smiled and said: "Please Mr. Tian come out with the second couplet."
Long Chen thought for a while and said: "A little bit of red lips will be tasted by thousands of guests!"
hiss....
He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were shocked, Yueniang was also stunned, and the onlookers exclaimed that they are talented.
"A pair matches each other slightly, a pair of red lips matches a jade arm, and a thousand guests match a thousand pillows. They are perfectly matched."
"The upper and lower couplets express the sadness and helplessness of the brothel woman, absolutely!"
"Such a great talent, why have I never heard of him?"
"Where did this Mr. Tian come from? Huang Hongtian, Huang family?"
"No one could match the first couplet for more than ten years, and he matched it in an instant."
Long Chen asked with a smile: "How is it? Can I enter this door?"
Yueniang bowed and said, "Of course, Mr. Tian please come!"
Yueniang respectfully welcomed Long Chen into the door. He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng admired him and followed him into Wangqing Pavilion.
"Yue Niang, we are here only for Miss Qingyuan. Mr. Tian has already demonstrated his strength just now. Let us go up."
The guests in the building heard that Long Chen came specifically to challenge Qing Yuan, and they all gathered around to watch the fun.
They didn't notice the commotion outside the door just now.
The reason is simple. The enlightenment level is too simple and they are not interested in watching.
But Long Chen wanted to challenge Qing Yuan for the first time, which made them curious about where this arrogant person came from.
"Okay, then..."
Yueniang wanted to agree, Long Chen was strong enough.
"Wait, this is against the rules."
A man holding a feather fan and wearing a turban came out.
This man's name was Zhu Hua, and he was a well-known scholar in the capital, especially good at poetry.
He Wenbai said disdainfully: "Zhu Hua, do you think Brother Tian is not qualified to go up?"
Zhu Hua chuckled and said: "If Brother Wenbai goes up by himself, I will naturally say nothing, but I have never seen this Mr. Tian."
Hu Zhiheng scolded: "Brother Tim's literary talent is far better than the two of us. How dare you be rude and you won't back down!"
Zhu Hua laughed and said: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the two great talents in the capital would actually be willing to be inferior and willing to be lackeys."
He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were so angry that they wanted to take action, but Long Chen stopped him and said, "It's okay, the rules are the rules. Do you want to compete with me in poetry?"
Zhu Hua rolled up his sleeves and said, "I once wrote a poem. If you can beat me, I will have nothing to say."
"Listen to my chant..."
Zhu Hua was about to recite a poem, but Long Chen was too lazy to listen and said, "No need, I'll compose one for you, you can taste it yourself!"
"I was in a liquor store when I was in the rivers and lakes, my waist was slender and my palms were light; after ten years of sleep, I forgot my love and dreams, and I won the reputation of a brothel."
Du Mu's poem, by changing two words, perfectly fits this situation.
Seeing that Long Chen was not giving him face, Zhu Hua was about to get angry, but when Long Chen's poem was recited, Zhu Hua shut up.
"What a poem, so wonderful!"
"Who is this Brother Hong Tian and why have I never seen him before?"
Everyone is curious, why has such a high talent never been heard of before?
He Wenbai was afraid of exposing his identity, so he said: "Brother Tian has been living in seclusion in the mountains. Today he accidentally came out for a walk. It's normal that you don't know."
Yueniang quickly called a man over: "Quickly, write down Mr. Tian's poems and engrave them on the poem forest in the backyard."
There is a courtyard in the backyard of Wangqing Pavilion, where many stone tablets are erected, with some excellent poems engraved on them.
There are so many literati in Wangqing Pavilion. It is a high honor to leave poems in Shilin.
From now on, entry and exit to Wangqing Pavilion will be free of charge, and it will also be recited by the literati of the capital.
The man immediately copied the poem.
Hu Zhiheng said with admiration: "Brother Tim's approach is really different. His first poem can be engraved in the poetry forest."
Long Chen didn't understand and asked: "Is it powerful to carve in the poetry forest?"
He Wenbai said: "Brother Tian doesn't know what he is doing. He can engrave it on the poetry forest. If Brother Tian comes to Wangqing Pavilion in the future, everything will be free of charge, and it will be recited by the literati in the capital."
Long Chen didn't expect that he could get free tickets by reciting poems. This really saves money.
"Then I'll play two more songs?"
He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were shocked and asked: "Brother Tim, such a masterpiece, can you write three of them at once?"
Long Chen did not answer, but directly chanted:
"Every day in the brothel, I am drunk and dreaming, and I don't know that spring is already thick outside the window; the apricot blossoms have not encountered the drizzle of rain, and how many layers of people are behind the bead curtain."
"The fragrant curtains are blown by the wind and the flowers enter the building, and the high-pitched zither plays to soothe the sorrow of the night; the heart is broken and the mountain is unexplained, and the waning moon hangs under the curtain hook."
Long Chen recited two more poems, leaving Zhu Hua and other literati dumbfounded...
Yueniang shouted excitedly: "Copy it, copy it, and engrave it on the poetry forest!"
Although this Yueniang is an old bustard, her poems and prose are already as good as those of these celebrities. She can judge the quality of poems and prose at a glance.
There was a sensation in Wangqing Pavilion.
A person writes three poems at a time, and all three poems are engraved in the poetry forest. This is too outrageous.
Long Chen asked: "Pig! Can I go up?"
