Yu Liuli had just announced the start of the second round, and everyone in the hall continued to create.
Shuyi saw that Li Chou was not in a hurry and was only concentrating on drinking, and asked a little anxiously: "Master, everyone else has started, but why is the master not in a hurry and still drinking leisurely? Could it be that the master already has an idea?"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I see that everyone today is uneducated and boastful. Why should you mess up your position? Besides, the wine in Qianxiu Zhai is really good. Please drink a few more glasses."
At this time, Yu Liuli also saw that Li Chouxin was drinking, without making any preparations, so she walked up to Li Chouxin and said, "Why are you still drinking, Master? Everyone else is creating, is it possible that Master is already confident?"
Li Chouxin looked at Yu Liuli and stared without blinking, which made Yu Liuli feel a little uncomfortable. He said slowly: "There are beauties and fine wines. It doesn't matter whether this creation is done or not. Why don't we have Miss Yu Liuli and have a drink with us?" good?"
Shuyi saw that Li Chouxin actually had Yu Liuli's idea at this time, and pushed Li Chouxin with his knee from behind.
This scene was seen by Yu Liuli. Yu Liuli then turned his gaze to Shuyi, who began to become a little nervous. Yu Liuli had been in the romantic society for many years, and he could tell at a glance that Shuyi behind him was a woman disguised as a man, but she did not reveal it on the spot. , just said to Li Chouxin: "It seems that it is true as the young master said, there are fine wines and beauties, but please seize the time."
Everyone also saw that Li Chouxin was actually teasing Yu Liuli, and they all started complaining mode.
"Does this kid think that he is lucky enough to pass the first round and can invite Miss Yu Liuli to have a drink with him? He really doesn't know how high the sky is."
"Yes, this person is too arrogant. Could it be that this first round is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse? This person probably doesn't have any real talent."
"Don't care what he does. There are people like this every year. They are just clowns at best."
"..."
At this time, Wu Dabao also said to Zhou Zihao who was sitting next to him: "Brother Zhou, this second round is up to you. You must make that kid look embarrassed. Wu's can't beat him, and there's no way that Wen's can still lose." give him."
Next to him, Zhou Zihao said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, this first round was just careless. With my reputation as a talented scholar from Xunyang, I should be the winner in this second round. This kid is just trying to please others."
It turns out that Zhou Zihao is a talented person among the young generation in Xunyang. He has some literary talents and thinks highly of himself. He is also one of Wu Dabao's closest friends.
Li Chouxin looked at Wu Dabao, who was blind in one eye, and then at Zhou Zihao beside him, shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing that Li Chouxin didn't pay attention to what others said, Yu Liuli became more curious about Li Chouxin. However, he slowly walked back to the stage, turned around and looked at everyone's display.
This week, Zhou Zihao stood up first and was about to read his work to everyone.
think.
The beauty falls into a dream and the white moon fades.
The green gauze moves,
Disillusionment is shattered by a green light.
After Zhou Zihao finished reading his work, he was very proud. Amidst the compliments of everyone, he picked up a glass of wine and drank with everyone in the hall.
The three judges on the stage listened to Zhou Zihao's sixteen-character order and praised it repeatedly.
Ouyang Qing first commented: "It is just sixteen words, but it clearly expresses the pain of lovesickness. The beautiful woman falls into a dream, the moon shadow is incomplete, the green gauze shakes, and the green lantern is extinguished. Indeed, the artistic conception and lovesickness are well expressed. It is indeed A rare masterpiece.”
Xie Zhaoling, the representative in the poem, was not stingy with his praise: "It is extraordinary for the younger generation to write such words, and it can be considered talented."
Xunyang Master Zhe Siqing also followed suit and said: "This sixteen-character poem is indeed in place and very relevant to the theme of this lovesickness. It is worthy of the talented Xunyang scholar Zhou Zihao."
Hearing the three judges' comments, Yu Liuli couldn't help but look at Zhou Zihao one more time, and Zhou Zihao's happy tail suddenly turned up.
After hearing Zhou Zihao's works and comments, the others hid their original works, gave up the competition, and then turned their attention to Li Chouxin.
"Do you think this kid can write another sentence? Hahaha!"
"Just wait and see him make a fool of himself. If he wins this game again, it will be like the sun rising to the west."
"Don't worry, this kid is just like this. He can't jump up."
"..."
Following a burst of ridicule from everyone, Yu Liuli also turned his attention to Li Chouxin and asked: "I didn't see Mr. Chouxin creating just now, so have you given up this round? If so, how can the Nu family Let’s judge Zhou Zihao and Master Zhou as the winner.”
Li Chou smiled in confusion and said nothing.
Seeing that Li Chouxin didn't answer, Yu Liuli announced: "In the second round, the winner is..."
Just when the words 'Zhou Zihao' were about to be spoken, Li Chouxin stood up. Everyone was shocked and began to ridicule again.
"Isn't this asking for trouble? The three judges have already praised Mr. Zhou's little order. They still don't give up now. They are really stubborn."
"That's right, it's just asking for trouble!"
"..."
Seeing everyone's disapproval, Shuyi began to worry about Li Chouxin and wanted to step forward and hold Li Chouxin.
Li Chouxin said it was okay.
Shuyi saw Li Chouxin looking calm, and then he let go of his worries.
Yu Liuli also asked: "Young Master Chouxin, what works have you created? Or do you have other things to say?"
At this time, Wu Dabao said inappropriately: "He must be afraid of losing his temper and wants to back down and leave."
Li Chouxin glared at Wu Dabao who was speaking. He was so frightened that Wu Dabao shut his mouth in time and covered his other eye that was not blind.
When everyone saw this scene, they all laughed, regardless of whether Wu Dabao was the son of the prefect or not.
And Li Chouxin stepped forward and said: "Although I don't have any in-depth research on lyrics, I have the courage to compose a song today, so I think it can help everyone."
"In that case, please come to Mr. Chouxin." Yu Liuli looked at Li Chouxin and said.
Li Chouxin closed his eyes, then opened them again, and said seriously: "Yes, I have a song called "Recalling Jiangnan". Please give me your advice."
Spring is always here, and the old buildings are empty when people leave.
Thin is facing the storm and undercurrent,
Across the river, I looked at a light red bird. When will I be with you?
As soon as Li Chouxin finished speaking, there was silence on the field. No one spoke, and there was no sound. The silence was extremely embarrassing, especially the few people who had been making sarcastic remarks just now. They were so ashamed at this time that they wished they could find a hole to hide.
Yu Liuli, who had reacted, looked at Li Chouxin with admiration and said, "Young Master Chouxin also asked three judges to comment on his song "Remembering the South of the Yangtze River"."
Ouyang Qing and others just came to their senses at this moment, looking at the young man in front of them in surprise, with incredible expressions on their faces.
"Did you really write this poem?" Xie Zhaoling asked first.
Before Li Chouxin could answer, someone on the side said: "Yes, it's impossible. It's impossible for him to write these words in just a moment. He must have plagiarized them from somewhere."
However, this person was immediately slapped in the face again. Li Chou answered Xie Zhaoling righteously: "Yes, it was just what I felt. If you don't believe it, I can write another one, or you can check the classics. If so, If you worry about plagiarism, you will never create anything in this life.”
Xie Zhaoling said at this time: "I have been studying lyrics for more than ten years. Whether I wrote it myself or read a lot of books, I have never heard or seen this poem. Today is the first time I have experienced this poem. It is really It’s incredible, it’s one of the best works today.”
Ouyang Qing also wanted to grab the conversation at this time and said: "Yes, this poem not only expresses the feeling of parting, but also expresses the feeling of being alone and full of expectations. It can be about missing friends or missing lovers. The longing for me is really wonderful. It is indeed much higher in artistic conception than Mr. Zhou's Xiao Ling. It is an extremely rare work."
Zhe Siqing also said: "It seems that we have been living in a corner for too long and have been ignorant. Maybe there are countless literati in the world who are a hundred times better than us, but we are still immersed in the vain fame of masters and great masters." I have been stuck on my own laurels, and now it seems that I am really embarrassed. I have to thank this worried little brother for inspiring me with his two excellent works today and waking me up from my dream."
As soon as the evaluations of the three judges came out, the results of this round of competition were decided. Everyone was silent. Yu Liuli also admired this handsome young man with outstanding literary talent even more.
After hearing the extraordinary evaluation, Zhou Zihao still refused to give up, "No matter what others say, I still don't believe you can make such a masterpiece. Unless you compose another one. If you can improvise another one, I, Zhou Zihao, will not only be convinced." From now on, you will never show off your literary talent or write another poem or article."
Li Chouxin looked at Zhou Zihao's dissatisfied look and said, "Master Zhou, it's just a competition. Why make such a heavy oath?"
Zhou Zihao refused to give up and said: "Stop talking nonsense, no matter the topic, just do it. I, Zhou Zihao, keep my word. Everyone here today can witness it. What's more, there are three senior leaders here. I will never break my promise." .”
Seeing that Zhou Zihao had finished speaking, Li Chou stopped trying to persuade him and said, "In that case, I would like to show my shame and give you a song called "Man Jiang Hong - Feelings" for everyone."
Stand on the side of the bridge, watch the tide, and look at Qingyun Road. I remember back then, when I was a young man with great ambitions. Traveling alone thousands of miles without fear of waves, riding a golden tiger across thousands of mountains. Play long songs, drink with Chang Gengxian, and recite good verses.
The clouds dispersed. Tianya Road. The gull falls to the ground, the immortal's tomb. Exploring the traces of Xian, lamenting that Taihua has finally passed away. The spring breeze blows the willows green for several years, and the wishes of thousands of years are buried in the loess. When he asked Chu Jiang where he was going home, Bo was speechless.
Li Chouxin gave up, and Zhou Zihao collapsed directly on the ground, his eyes dull.
When everyone saw Li Chouxin's work, they finally dared not refute that Li Chouxin's lyrics were plagiarized.
At this time, Li Chouxin did not intend to spare Zhou Zihao. She walked towards Zhou Zihao, came to Zhou Zihao and said, "Master Zhou, I hope you will do what you say today, and you will not be in vain for this talented man from Xunyang." reputation."
As soon as Li Chouxin said this, Zhou Zihao remained silent for a moment, looking directly at Li Chouxin in front of him, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. When everyone saw this, they all exclaimed, but no one came forward to check.
"Master Zhou drank too much and suddenly fell ill. Please don't be alarmed." After Yu Liuli spoke up, he ordered the two guards at the door to send Zhou Zihao back to the Zhou Mansion.
At this time, Wu Dabao seemed to have no support and hurriedly fled the scene on the pretext of escorting Zhou Zihao.
At this time, a group of onlookers who had been mocking Li Chouxin just now couldn't bear the reality and actually praised Li Chouxin one after another.
"Young Master Chou Xin is indeed a blockbuster! We all can't compare to him."
"Young Master Chou Xin is truly a superlative in literary talent. I can't even match him."
"...."
Listening to the compliments, Li Chouxin ignored them completely.
The three judges sitting on the stage also stood up and came to Li Chouxin. They all tried to please Li Chouxin and invited Li Chouxin to visit him at his house when they were free to discuss literature and classics.
Yu Liuli, who saw this scene, naturally did not want to be at a disadvantage. After Li Chouxin talked with the three judges, he came to Li Chouxin and said: "Master Chouxin, I am afraid that no one will compete with you today, but later on. If Young Master Chou Xin defeats me in the third round, please give me a favor tonight, drink with Yu Nu'er for a long night, and spend the spring night together." At this time, Yu Liuli was completely immersed in Li Chou Xin's contempt for everything just now, and couldn't extricate herself. .
Seeing this, Li Chouxin looked back at Shuyi who was standing by the table. Seeing Shuyi's unhappy face, he knew that tomorrow he would have to find it difficult to explain in front of the six girls. Then he handed Shuyi an extremely The awkward smile seemed to tell Shuyi that Zhu Wei was also to blame for this matter. If Zhu Wei hadn't signed up randomly, how could he have caused such trouble?
Seeing this, Yu Liuli also announced to the crowd: "Today's second round of lyrics with the theme of lovesickness, the winner is Mr. Chouxin. Congratulations to Mr. Chouxin for once again receiving one hundred taels of buyout fee for his work."
After hearing this, everyone was curious about what the third round was. Although it was determined that the so-called Young Master Chouxin was today's winner, they still kept asking Yu Liuli questions.
Yu Liuli said at this time: "This third round will be set by the slave family. Whether the slave family writes couplets or poems, as long as Mr. Chouxin can match it, he can spend the spring night with the slave family and win another third round title. One hundred taels of silver." After saying that, Yu Liuli cast a flirtatious look at Li Chouxin, making everyone present instantly understand the charm, and Li Chouxin also smiled awkwardly.
"Then let's get started, so as not to miss the spring night between Miss Yu Liuli and Mr. Chouxin. Besides, since we can't win, there are many beautiful girls in Qianxiuzhai, so don't waste time and keep the girls waiting." Someone made this statement.
Yu Liuli was also straightforward and asked Li Chouxin: "Master Chouxin, are you ready?"
Li Chouxin was about to reply, "Always ready," but he looked at Shuyi with some concern. Seeing Shuyi's expression of reluctance, he hesitated for a moment.
When everyone saw this scene, they said: "Young Master Chouxin, since you have come to Qianxiuzhai, do you still need to look at the face of a book boy?"
Li Chouxin turned around and replied, "Ready, Miss Yu Liuli."
"Then the slave family is about to ask a question. I would like to ask Mr. Chouxin to answer the question." After Yu Liuli said this, he asked the first question.
"In the red tent, the girl is eagerly waiting for the official."
Only then did Li Chouxin understand what Yu Liuli meant and replied: "In the crowd, a wanderer should not fall in love with Hongfen."
This back and forth caused the three judges on the stage to applaud and applaud.
Yu Liuli heard what Li Chouxin meant and said, "Young Master Chouxin, isn't that too understanding? Let's listen to the next question."
I saw another question from Yu Liuli: "Dyeing all the blue hair without seeing each other, a sad song and two tears flowing."
Li Chou didn't even think about it and replied directly: "Life is full of scenery, why worry about the empty building."
Everyone exclaimed again.
At this point, Yu Liuli still refused to give up and continued to pose the question: "With the lights dimming, who can we drink together tonight?"
Li Chouxin smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Liuli is not willing to let go of Chouxin today. That Chouxin is thinking, 'When you are sober on a spring night, travelers will go east and west."
After hearing Li Chouxin's answer, Yu Liuli stopped being persistent and voluntarily gave up.
Li Chouxin saw everyone praising her, but she couldn't feel happy in her heart. However, Yu Liuli came over at this time and said to Li Chouxin: "Mr. Chouxin, the slave family already understands the young master's aspirations, but we hope that the young master will not decline the wine tonight."
Li Chouxin couldn't refuse Yu Liuli's repeated warm invitations, so she looked at Shuyi again, walked towards Shuyi, and said: "Shuyi, it's hard to refuse today's hospitality. You go back and tell your family first, just say The young master has something to delay, so he will come back later."
Although Shuyi looked reluctant, looking at Li Chouxin's face, he still agreed and said, "Young master, you must keep your word and come back soon! Otherwise, I will tell everything to my family." Then Shuyi walked out Qian Qian. Xiuzhai went to Fumanlou.
After Yu Liuli arranged the people present, she invited Li Chouxin and went upstairs, making others envious.
When Li Chouxin arrived at Yu Liuli's room, before she could take a look at the surrounding arrangements, she was hugged by Yu Liuli who had just closed the door. Their mouths were about to stick together, which startled Li Chouxin.
Li Chouxin said hurriedly: "Miss Liuli, didn't you say you'd like to drink? What does this mean?"
Yu Liuli looked at the talking face in front of her and wished she could kiss him directly. However, she still maintained a trace of reason and said, "Young Master Chouxin, didn't you say we would spend the night together? Isn't this obvious enough?"
Li Chouxin also looked at the beautiful face in front of her at close range. Although it was hard to resist, she still said, "Miss Liuli, isn't this good?"
But Yu Liuli said: "Liu Li has been in a romantic place for many years, and only Mr. Chouxin has really touched the hearts of the slave family. Although the slave family lives in a brothel, they are still innocent. I hope Mr. Chouxin will not dislike him."
After hearing what Yu Liuli said, Li Chouxin didn't know how to respond. At this moment, Yu Liuli didn't give Li Chouxin a chance to speak anymore, and directly brought her lips together and kissed Li Chouxin firmly on the mouth.
Li Chouxin's body trembled, and he lost the consciousness of rejection and became entangled with Yu Liuli.
Yu Liuli took this opportunity to slowly push Li Chouxin to the bed, but the mouths that were stuck together never separated. The two fell on the bed together and never pushed each other away again.
After a night, the morning sun shone through the window on Li Chouxin's face. Li Chouxin suddenly woke up. Looking next to him, he saw Yu Liuli naked on his arm. It was hard to imagine that such a passionate woman was still a young girl. Li Chouxin looked at herself again. She was also naked. It was hard to adapt to it for a while, but she still couldn't bear to look at Yu Liuli a few more times.
At this time, Yu Liuli opened her eyes and said lovingly towards Li Chouxin: "Young Master Chouxin, let's go. I know there is no shortage of beauties around you. Yesterday's book boy was a beauty. I know I can't keep you. But I don’t regret what happened last night. I just hope that Mr. Chouxin will remember Liuli when he comes here in the future.”
Li Chouxin didn't know how to answer, but she got up and put on her clothes. She didn't dare to turn around and face Yu Liuli, who was lying naked on the bed.
"Let's go, Mr. Chouxin. This is all done voluntarily by the slave family. I hope that the master can come back here to see me in the future. From now on, except for the master, Liuli will never receive anyone else."
After hearing these words, Li Chouxin felt even more confused. She turned around, helped Yu Liuli up, and kissed her on her own initiative.
Yu Liuli knew that this kiss was a farewell, so she said no more words, but closed her eyes and immersed herself in the warm embrace of the man in front of her.
Li Chouxin stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Yu Liuli.
"Young Master, I don't know when I will see you again after we say goodbye today. Please tell me your name so that you can remember me."
"My surname is Li, and Chouxin is my name." Li Chouxin replied.
"In that case, let me send you a poem to Mr. Chouxin, which can also be regarded as a farewell message." Yu Liuli looked at Li Chouxin and read out with reluctance.
It’s hard to calm down after a late spring night,
A worried heart has traveled far since ancient times.
The world of mortals cannot understand the meaning of glass,
The turbid sand is clear by itself even though it is thousands of miles away.
Li Chouxin understood what Yu Liuli meant, but he didn't say anything more. He just glanced affectionately at Yu Liuli who was already dressed, then opened Yu Liuli's door and walked out.
Yu Liuli looked at Li Chouxin who walked out of the room, and she shed a rare teardrop after not having shed tears for many years.
Li Chou left Qianxiuzhai in his heart, thinking about Yu Liuli and the six girls in Fumanlou. He couldn't find a suitable explanation at all, so he could only hurry up and go back to Fumanlou as soon as possible, feeling extremely sad in his heart. , this sorrow comes not only from Yu Liuli, but also from the six girls who have been waiting for him all night.
