Suddenly there was a sound of testing behind them. Shen Hao and the other three people present turned around and saw three people approaching from a few steps away. They were all dressed as scholars. They were the scholars sitting opposite. One of them is one of the four so-called "Seven Young Masters".
"You are?" Shen Hao smiled and did not get up. He continued to lean on the back of the chair with a casual attitude.
Probably seeing that Shen Hao didn't stand up, the three of them frowned a little. The one in the middle snorted coldly: "I heard that Mr. Shen is talented in literature, so I came here to get to know him and see if his reputation is too real."
"Oh. Then you have read it now, right? Please do it." Shen Hao waved his hand, not caring about the other party's verbal provocation. He didn't care at all about the few older men who made a living by writing poems. Answering them with just two sentences is already a huge honor.
Gan Lin and Zhang Qian, who were watching the excitement, laughed and raised their glasses to touch Shen Hao. Their smiling eyes glanced at the three people with livid faces. Their eyes seemed to say: Where did these little characters come from? Get out of here!
What is provocation? Zhang Qian and Gan Lin have never seen these two guys in the army? How could the three scholars opposite them stand their looks?
Besides, people in the military think that most literati are poor, and most literati look down on people in the military, thinking that they are all reckless men. Despised by the reckless man?
"Hmph, I thought I was still a junior, but it turns out that he is just an unreasonable person, that's all, a waste of my time!"
"Pfft! Hahaha..." Shen Hao couldn't hold it in anymore, and he spurted out a mouthful of wine. Fortunately, he lowered his head and didn't spray it on Gan Lin opposite him.
"Why are you laughing? You are so unreasonable and uneducated and you still think it's funny? Tsk, I really can't believe the rumors. How can I produce a masterpiece like "One Cut Plum" with such a good education? It's plagiarism!"
He sprayed loudly, and his intentions were very vicious. One sentence would refute Shen Hao's previous works in front of his face, and fundamentally make Shen Hao stink.
Plagiarism? There is no basis for this statement, but it is said so freely. It depends on how Shen Hao responds. Aren't you ignoring me? Are you able to refute me? If you don't refute, you will be criticized. If you acquiesce, it will be even more convincing. If you refute it, then you can't continue to ignore it, and the arrogance you had before will no longer exist.
How about saying that cultural people have many eyes? It's not a derogatory sense, it's a fact.
Shen Hao's eyes twitched when he heard this, and he put away the smile on his face. Turning around, he looked at the older man who was talking nonsense and said word by word: "I'm laughing at how a man in his fifties has the nerve to call himself "my son"? It's not too much to call him "old man" at this age. Bar?
In addition, there is evidence that poems such as "One Cut Plum" are my works. If you have any doubts, you can go to the Yamen and sue me for embezzling other people's reputations. If you make false claims without evidence, that is slandering the imperial officials. We, the Xuanqing Guards, also have the right to arrest you directly. Investigate slowly.
So, let me ask you again, were you just talking nonsense? "
Shen Hao's voice was filled with vitality, and even if the environment was noisy, it could be heard far away. The entire Hongen Courtyard heard his words, and they all stopped in surprise and looked over.
"you!"
"One Cut Plum" and so on are not Shen Hao's works. The older son-in-law naturally knows this. He just wants to find a reason to stimulate Shen Hao and see how angry the other party is. It's best to have a debate with him, so that he can get into a rhythm he's familiar with.
But who would have thought that Shen Hao would directly defeat ten groups with one force: You will be responsible for your nonsense! And I am Xuan Qingwei!
As a result, this older man was not only unable to get off the stage, but was also forced into a corner. Now everyone in Hongenyuan is looking here.
To answer Shen Hao's question? Then the other party might really capture him on the grounds of "slandering the imperial officials". Give in? It would be very embarrassing in public.
However, Shen Hao didn't give the other party a chance to think too much. He raised his voice again and urged: "Speak quickly! Were you talking nonsense just now?"
Gan Lin and Zhang Qian beside them also joined in and said, "That's right, even if you don't even recognize me, you come here and say that Lord Shen's poems are plagiarism from others. Tsk, tsk, come up with evidence. Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense?"
"Tsk, what's the point of "my master"? Bah, you're older than me and you have a lot of face?"
The older man was angry, but he didn't know how to deal with it, and he was riding a tiger with difficulty.
At this time, a voice from across the courtyard laughed and said, "Why is Mr. Shen angry? It's just a joke. This is Xiao Qi from the Imperial City. Mr. Xiao, I've heard about your poems for a long time, Mr. Shen, and came here to see them. I guess it's not surprising. I can talk and bump into Mr. Shen, how can I ask Mr. Shen to give me some thin noodles?"
The person who spoke was also imbued with cultivation, but not as much as Shen Hao. Xun Sheng used to be an old man with gray hair. Shen Hao knew this person as Xie Youlin, the officer in charge of Fengri City.
Shen Hao stood up with a smile and cupped his hands towards Xie Youlin. He raised his glass and saluted him in response. After turning around, he ignored the older man behind him whose face turned from white to green.
Gan Lin and Zhang Qian stopped mocking. The dignity of the official in charge of Fengri City must be given.
Shen Hao ignored it again, and the three people behind him did not dare to stay where they were, so they could only retreat to the opposite side of the patio in dejection. But there was obviously a lot more resentment in his eyes.
After returning to his seat, several friends also poured wine to persuade him, making the face of the older man who felt humiliated slowly soften.
"People named Shen have always been arrogant and domineering. Mr. Xiao, don't be like a reckless man like him."
"Yes. Let's see if he can come up with poems when we light flowers later. That's when we have a chance to fight back."
"It's hard to say. Three of them, including "One Cut Plum Blossom", are excellent works. Although Shen's character is not good, he still has real ability in poetry."
"You're really good at it. I think he plagiarized it anyway. Otherwise, why would there be only three songs but no other works? You are all experts. Could it be that you can't understand this situation?"
Everyone discussed in low voices what you said and what I said. Xie Youlin, who was in the middle, smiled and did not participate. His attitude was already obvious, and he was on the side of the literary circle, otherwise he would not have opened his mouth to help Xiao Qi just now. Compared to pure scholars like Xiao Qi, Xie Youlin dislikes Shen Hao for more reasons. The most recent one is Shen Hao's merciless handling of the Wanhekou plague concealment case, which made him, the chief officer of Fenglu City, very passive. In addition, the Sun City Yamen was given the right to handle the special place behind.
How can I make him feel comfortable with this kind of ignorant and arrogant guy?
Doesn't he also have a reputation as a talented man? As long as he loses to the four masters from the Imperial City today, his reputation will be ruined by the urinary behavior of those literati.
Xie Youlin is looking forward to these.
