In ordinary people's perception, the three words "Yunyanmiao" will only appear in poems describing fairyland-like scenery. Now Ruan Haoyang said that he will use these three words into a poem describing the pastoral scene of Zhiqiu Town. in poetry.
Although it was not impossible to do this, Shao Xi couldn't imagine how to incorporate these three words into it, and he became interested out of curiosity.
So Shao Xi looked at Ruan Haoyang with great expectation, wanting to see how this unparalleled jade-like young master would write these three elegant words into the farmyard.
I saw Ruan Haoyang walking to the railing of the square pavilion, looking vaguely at the other side of the lake, as if there was no Zhiqiuzhen. After thinking for a moment, he chanted:
The thin sky is gradually dawning, and the light footsteps frighten the flying birds.
I heard the cry of mountain apes in the distance, and saw the misty clouds up close.
The flowers in the garden are holding jade dew, and the fish in the pond are surrounded by green algae.
The crowing of cocks disturbs the clear dreams, and the barking of dogs is noisy.
"Good! What a vivid dawn scene and pastoral scenery! Brother Ruan's poem paints the morning in the Jiangnan town on the bank of Zhiqiu Lake as if it were painted on paper and placed in front of you. The first two couplets have a distant artistic conception, while the last two couplets The couplet has returned to its original nature, and it has painted this farmhouse of ordinary people so vividly and appropriately, which is really unexpected, and I admire you!"
Shao Xi clapped his hands and applauded repeatedly. He really didn't expect that Ruan Haoyang actually integrated these three words into a poem that was so simple and close to life, and put what ordinary people saw and heard when they got up early in the morning as if they were in front of him. In general, he is really quick in thinking and quite talented in poetry.
Moreover, Shao Xi admires the fact that all of his poems are rhythmic verses, but he does not dare to try them because he has always felt that rhythmic poetry is too elaborate and not casual enough. Therefore, Shao Xi has always been fond of composing quatrains, and rhythmic poetry is more particular about antithesis. He knew that he was not very good at poetry and prose.
This is not as casual as usual with the couplets. After all, poetry is about expressing the artistic conception completely, but the upper and lower couplets of the couplets can have nothing to do with each other, each expressing its own meaning and according to its own situation.
Seeing that Shao Xi praised his poem so much, Ruan Haoyang became shy for a moment. He bowed his hands to Shao Xi and said humbly: "Young Master Shao, you are really over-praised. I'm just lucky. I was chosen by Mr. Shao for Yi Zuo." The title is not due to my outstanding poetic talent. I am really ashamed to be praised so much by Mr. Shao."
Shao Xi unfolded the folding fan in his hand and said to Ruan Haoyang with a smile: "Brother Ruan, don't be too humble, good is good! Brother, I never use complimentary words to my close friends. Brother Ruan's poems are indeed admired by me. Brother Ruan, you deserve it." Praise.”
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Young Master has chosen questions to pass the test for both of us. Now it's Young Master's turn. Why don't I let my daughter draw questions for Young Master."
"etc!"
Shao Xi's "Wait a minute" made Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu stunned, wondering what Shao Xi meant.
Ordinarily, it was Shao Xi's turn to answer the question at this point in the game, but at this time, Shao Xi stopped Ye Zhiqiu from drawing the question, which surprised the two of them, but they would not believe that Shao Xi could not afford it. , maybe there is another intention?
The two of them didn't ask, they just stopped their movements and looked at Shao Xi at the same time.
Shao Xi closed the folding fan in his hand and tapped the clay pot in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.
Just a moment later, Shao Xi smiled and said to Ye Zhiqiu: "May I ask, Madam-in-law, since it is my turn to answer the questions, can I use a new method to increase the number of notes? I will decide how much to increase."
Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu looked at each other, increasing the number of notes? What does this mean?
Logically speaking, the fewer the number of words drawn in this game, the lower the difficulty. Therefore, when Ye Zhiqiu designed this game, there were only four words at most on the small note in the jar, because any more would be too difficult.
Think about it, a five-character poem contains only twenty words, and a seven-character poem contains only twenty-eight characters. If there are too many words, wouldn’t more than 20% of the words in this poem be the words required in the title? In this way, the difficulty of writing poetry is not ordinary.
For example, if the number of words is increased to five, it will take up a whole sentence in a Wujue poem. If it is increased to seven, it will take up a whole sentence in a Qijue poem. In a poem, fixed words are required. The more words there are, the more difficult it becomes.
Although it is not required that a certain word must be somewhere in a certain sentence, the two-, three- and four-character words drawn cannot be used separately.
For example, the previous "Zhiqiu" and "Yunyanmiao" are ready-made two-character and three-character words. Whatever word is drawn, the word must be introduced into the poem completely and cannot be used separately.
Shao Xi proposed to increase the number of notes at this time. It would be very troublesome if all the words drawn were two-character, three-character or even four-character words.
Because it is a blind draw, no one can guarantee how the words drawn will be related to each other. If they are not related, how can they be combined together?
Therefore, actively requesting to increase the number of notes is increasing the difficulty. This is what surprised Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu.
Although they were a little surprised, the two also understood that Shao Xi wanted to make the game more interesting, because for the three of them, even if they drew a four-character word, it was not too difficult to compose a poem. After all, This is just a little game for fun while tasting wine, just to relieve boredom, so I didn’t intend to make it too difficult from the beginning.
Now, since Shao Xi feels that the number of words is too simple and boring, and actively requests to increase the number of notes, it is not impossible. The two are just curious about how Shao Xi should answer the questions after the number of notes is increased?
However, Shao Xi's move did arouse the interest of the two of them, so they did not express any objection.
But Ye Zhiqiu reminded Shao Xi with a gentle smile: "Master, do you know that increasing the number of notes means that it is very likely to increase the number of words. If you are unlucky and the two words you draw are both four-character words, it will be quite difficult. big."
Shao Xi smiled mischievously and said quite confidently: "I didn't say that it was just increased to two small notes. What I meant was that every time Madam-in-law draws out a paper, she will reveal the topic, and I will decide whether to continue drawing. I draw it until I shout to stop. I may not have good luck, but my wife may draw a poem directly from the jar."
Hearing Shao Xi's words, Ye Zhiqiu was suddenly surprised and turned to look at Ruan Haoyang. At this time, Ruan Haoyang also had a look of disbelief on his face.
Adding a small piece of paper has already increased the difficulty and risk a lot. Now the person in front of me said that he would keep drawing until he shouted to stop. Although it was a joke to draw a poem directly, if there were too many, it should be How do you combine those unrelated words into a poem?
This is almost an impossible thing, and Shao Xi wants to challenge this impossibility at this time, which makes the two of them feel that Shao Xi is somewhat overconfident.
You must know that even if you draw only two words, it is very likely that you will draw up to eight words. Even a Qijue poem takes up nearly 30% of the word count. If the number of words is increased, how can you write this poem?
But now that Shao Xi has made such a request, it was originally just a game. If he wants to play it like this, let him try it!
Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly, smiled and said to Shao Xi: "Since the master has this request, then I will do it. Every time I draw a small note, I will put it on the stone table. The master can draw according to the number of words. You can ask to stop drawing questions at any time, and then the young master will compose a poem based on the extracted words. I can only wish the young master good luck here, because such a selection of questions will indeed add great difficulties to the young master's poem writing later."
Shao Xi shook his folding fan and laughed.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! It's just a matter of drinking to relieve boredom, as long as you are happy. How about this, if Madam-in-law pulls out the small note according to my request, and I fail to compose a poem based on the words on it, then how much does Madam-in-law take out? I will fine you as many drinks as a penalty. I wonder what Madam Sister-in-law and Brother Ruan want?"
When the two of them heard it, they were like, good guys! The stakes are a bit high. If you draw one song and five jue, wouldn't you have to drink twenty drinks in a row? If you pull out a Qijue song, you will have to drink twenty-eight drinks in a row. Are you punishing yourself, or are you coming to our house to indulge your alcohol addiction? Isn't this a departure from the original spectrum, a huge departure?
However, since Shao Xi had already said this, the two of them could not disagree, so they decided to follow Shao Xi's wishes, with Ye Zhiqiu taking the questions and Shao Xi stopping at any time.
Ye Zhiqiu put his hand into the pottery pot and flipped through it casually. He pulled out a small note and placed it on the stone table. The three of them took a closer look and saw that it was a four-character note with the four words "Qingfeng Mingyue" written on it. .
Ruan Haoyang sighed, thinking that Shao Xi's luck was really bad. He drew four words as soon as he drew the question. This was already 20% of the number of words in a five-character poem. It seemed that there was really no need to draw any more.
But what he didn't expect was that Shao Xi actually said, "Continue!"
Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu were both stunned for a moment. They had already drawn a four-character note. It was already the most difficult task at present. Shao Xi actually said he wanted to continue? Then continue!
The second piece of paper I pulled out had one less character than the previous one. It was a three-character piece of paper with the words "Shuiyunjian" written on it.
At present, the two small notes added up to seven characters. Ye Zhiqiu raised his head and glanced at Shao Xi.
"continue!"
Still continuing? At this time, Ruan Haoyang and Ruan Haoyang were already a little confused. He still wanted to continue after seven words. How many words did he plan to draw?
The third one is missing another word, and the small note has the word "Autumn Lake" written on it.
"continue!"
This time, the two of them were completely confused. What on earth is this person going to do?
So far, a full nine words have been drawn out, and even a Qi Jue poem already has 30% of the word count. Is it possible that this person really intends to ask Ye Zhiqiu to draw out a complete poem for him directly?
But since he said to continue, then continue!
Ye Zhiqiu slowly pulled out another small piece of paper from the clay pot. This time it was finally a single word "rhyme".
"Okay, let's stop here!"
Finally, they stopped, but Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu still couldn't understand. A total of ten words were extracted from the four small notes before and after. How did Shao Xi plan to put these ten words into the same poem?
