When Ji Jin saw the distinctive yet familiar piece of papyrus on the tray, his red lips slightly opened, and he was so shocked that he could no longer say a word.
The long silence finally attracted Xu Jidao's attention, but he only glanced lightly.
Just one glance.
Xu Jidao's half-closed eyes immediately widened and he stood up suddenly.
"Quick! Get the poem manuscript!"
Xu Jidao couldn't hide his excitement in his tone.
On the contrary, Liu Qingfang was shocked and secretly delighted.
Unexpectedly, King Xu Shi also had such a deep interest in the poem she revised. If she received a compliment from King Xu Shi, she and Mr. Ye would definitely become famous throughout Jiangnan Road with the poem she wrote.
Liu Qingfang stared at the poem manuscript in the tray, and as it got closer and closer to Xu Jidao, when she saw Xu Jidao rolling up his sleeves and stretching out his hand, her whole heart was about to jump out of joy.
But she saw Xu Jidao picking up the withered yellow papyrus that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her.
It looked familiar because she had seen Ji Jin holding ten pieces of the same piece of papyrus like a treasure in the morning. They were the original works of the "Poetry Immortal" who was famous in Jinling.
It's strange because...this is not Mr. Ye's poem manuscript at all!
Why did King Xu Shi not take Mr. Ye's poem manuscript but instead take someone else's?
Liu Qingfang couldn't help but said angrily: "There are not many students today who are really talented and practical, but there are quite a few who follow sideways. Knowing that Shixian uses papyrus, he likes Miss Ji, and he also learns to write poems on papyrus, which will arouse your interest." Notice."
Xu Jidao was originally very happy to see the papyrus that he had been thinking about for a long time. But when he heard Liu Qingfang's words before opening it, his heart dropped.
Could it be that he really met a student with evil intentions and wanted to impress others?
"If it is as Miss Liu said, I will definitely expel this student who is teasing everyone from the world of poetry!"
Outside the pavilion, Ye Changlong, who was waiting for the announcement of the results of this group of competitions, was at the front of the crowd.
When he saw Xu Jidao picking up Ning Wuyi's poem manuscript, he thought that Liu Qingfang had not put it to use again. Ning Wuyi had inherited Ning Wuyi's luck and caught the eye of King Xu Shiwang.
But after hearing Xu Jidao's words, Ye Changlong glanced at Ning Wuyu who was still unaware in the crowd and smiled with schadenfreude.
It seems that the Ning family's luck cannot always be so good. The poems written by the Poet Immortal are favored by the Poet King.
No, he would be expelled from the world of poetry. He continued to add fuel to the flames, and the Ning family's plan to enter the officialdom with literary talent was almost ruined in Ning Wuzhen's hands.
"Who can't imitate me? Immortal poetry writes poems on papyrus. You really deserve it."
In the pavilion.
Liu Qingfang's expression changed slightly when she heard Xu Jidao's harsh words.
She didn't expect that her quick talk might affect a student's lifelong future, but she didn't regret it. Who said that this student had no eyesight and blocked Mr. Ye's way.
at this time.
Xu Jidao had already opened the poem manuscript, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
What caught his eye was the familiar handwriting.
""Wild Bamboo"."
When Liu Qingfang heard that the other party dared to challenge the unspeakable Zhu, she felt even more confident.
Young Master Ye is finally able to land on the island!
When Ji Jin saw that Xu Jidao not only opened the poem manuscript, but also read it aloud in public, he realized what had happened and stood up suddenly, approaching Xu Jidao.
But Xu Jidao took half a step back without leaving a trace, and looked at her warily again.
"Miss Ji, I got it first this time."
"..."
Ji Jin's breath suffocated.
It is indeed the original work of the Poet Immortal!
Only the authentic works of that poet would allow King Xu Shi to read other people's poems in public.
Faced with Xu Jidao's performance, Ji Jin couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to remind him loudly: "Mr. Xu, this poem manuscript was sent by a poetry student for competition."
Xu Jidao instantly became energetic.
yes!
The Poet Fairy knew that selling ten poems in the morning would cause a sensation, and he continued to sell them in the afternoon. Doesn't this make it clear that people should go find him?
Perhaps he could find out who Shixian was without the introduction of the Shen family?
Xu Jidao hurriedly looked down.
"Bamboo grows by itself in the open fields, and its tops stand looking for hundreds of clouds. No one appreciates the high integrity, but only cherishes the sincerity."
After reading this poem, Xu Jidao was stunned.
Is this a masterpiece by a poet?
Although it's good, it always feels...unsatisfactory.
But this handwriting is clearly Shixian’s original handwriting!
After Ji Jin heard the entire poem, she was equally shocked. She looked at the young man standing upright outside the pavilion, as if he were standing apart from a flock of chickens.
"Isn't this poem "Wild Bamboo" written by Mr. Ning this morning?"
When Xu Jidao heard that Ji Jin knew the poet, he immediately became happy. He quickly took a few steps forward and shouted in public: "Who is Mr. Ning San who wrote "Wild Bamboo"?"
The people in the front row all looked sympathetically and pityingly at Ning Wuyi, who was still in the crowd and didn't know that a disaster was coming.
Ye Changlong smiled happily when he thought that he was in the same group as Ning Wuzhen and that he could board the island while Ning Wuzhen could only withdraw from the literary world.
And Ning Wuyi was stunned when he heard Xu Jidao calling him personally.
Even if his poems were revised by his fifth brother, they couldn't be so good that King Xu Shiwang would name them personally, right?
Ning Wuyi couldn't figure out the reason for this for a while, but under everyone's gaze, he could only raise his long arms.
"Mr. Xu, it's me."
"Please move forward and enter the pavilion."
The crowd quickly made way for a passage.
As soon as Ning Wuwei walked into the pavilion, an immortal-like old man enthusiastically took his hand and led him to sit down.
"Sir Ning, I have something to ask you."
"Students don't dare. Please speak, Mr. Xu."
Ning Wuyi guessed that this was the world-famous Poet King Xu. He had several kilograms of ink in his belly. How could he dare to teach the contemporary Poet King?
Liu Qingfang, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded when she saw Xu Jidao treating Ning Wuzhen so politely. She was about to ask Ji Jin what was going on. Could it be that Ning Wuzhen and Xu Shi Wang were old friends?
But Ji Jin took the initiative to come to the table where the two were sitting, and personally poured Ning Wuyi a cup of herbal tea.
"Sir Ning, please have some tea. Please relax."
Ning Wuyi took the herbal tea handed over by Ji Jin with both hands without daring to take a sip.
Let him relax?
Miss Ji's preferential treatment will only make him more nervous!
Seeing this, Xu Jidao struck while the iron was hot and went straight to the point: "Did Mr. Ning third son write this "Wild Bamboo" by himself?"
"yes."
Ning Wuzhen glanced at Ji Jin.
"I came once in the morning but Miss Ji didn't approve it and put forward some suggestions for modification. Unfortunately, I didn't understand it thoroughly, so I let..."
When Ning Wuyue said this, he bit his tongue and thought for a moment, finally remembering the reason why he treated her so favorably.
It's the fifth brother!
To be precise, it’s Shixian!
Famous poets all have their own style of writing poems and lyrics, and it must have been the fifth brother who revised his poems to reveal this.
Others may not be able to tell, but Xu Shiwang is so experienced that he can tell at a glance.
Ning Wuyu was secretly annoyed: It's all because of Ye Changlong's poor hands that he wouldn't let me copy the poem manuscript.
Xu Jidao saw Ning Wuyi paused and seemed to realize what had happened. His tone was full of envy: "You asked Shixian to help you revise it, and then wrote it down for you yourself?"
People deserve to die more than others.
Not only the Shen family knew about Shixian's identity, but the student in front of him also knew about it. Is he the only one who didn't know who Shixian was?
Ji Jin couldn't hold himself back anymore and asked anxiously: "Sir Ning, who is the poet who revised the original poem for you?"
"yes……"
Faced with the passionate and fierce offensive from the two men, Ning Wuyi was about to reply when he caught a glimpse of Liu Qingfang standing next to him like a pillar out of the corner of his eye, and was horrified.
He can't say!
Liu Qingfang felt Ning Wuyu's gaze, she struggled to put on a smile, and asked with a sour mouth: "The Ning family actually hired such a talented gentleman to revise the poems for Mr. Ning. I wonder if Mr. Ning can do it for him?" Can I recommend you something?"
At noon, when she heard Mr. Ye talking about the failure of the Ping An Medical Center, she felt that if she wanted to take the opportunity to break off the engagement, it would be a lot of trouble, and her wedding to Mr. Ye would have to be postponed.
At this time, she heard that Ning Wuyu had the possibility of knowing Shixian, and her mind became active again.
For Shixian's sake, it was impossible to marry Ning Wuhuang. If it were Ning Wuhui... it wouldn't be impossible, but she wanted to use Ning Wuhuang's identity as his fiancée to get this connection.
Then introduce Mr. Ye to Shixian!
Xu Jidao was quite shocked to see Liu Qingfang making such a presumptuous request, and thought to himself: Could it be that this Miss Liu has some connection with Mr. Ning?
