Chapter 75 How to Compare

Seeing that these people were all timid at the moment, they didn't dare to look at me with straight faces.

Linyu immediately sneered, "That's it? You can't stand up to someone else's first couplet when they are also talented people. Why do you dare to say that someone else is a deceitful person now?"

Perhaps Linyu's sneer also stimulated these scholars, and all of them suddenly raised their heads at this moment.

"Ruling the country does not rely on this couplet. If this couplet stumps other scholars, is it possible that they have become a talented person? If so, in the future, all state affairs examinations will be done by using the right couplet to solve the right problem."

Oh no?"

Li Wentong's face turned red and he spoke angrily.

These words made the other scholars breathe a sigh of relief, and then nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Whether it's governing the country or judging talents, it's not just a couplet."

"If it is true that a person's talent can be determined by just one couplet, wouldn't Jiang Guo's examination become a joke?"

When the talented ladies sitting next to Lin Yu heard this, they looked at each other and nodded together. What they said was true.

Just using couplets to determine a person's talent is a bit unreliable.

Linyu looked at these scholars who were not crying even after seeing the coffin, and secretly shook his head.

How could my previous self go out with such scholars and also quite like their poems?

Of course, just one couplet cannot be used as a criterion for determining talent, nor can it be used as a good way to govern a country.

But can these people in front of them really compare to Lu Chensheng?

A waterwheel can benefit the people, how much labor can be saved, and how many fields can be irrigated?

The Yunjiang River in Yunmengzena floods every few years, sometimes two or three times a year.

Lu Chensheng went to deal with it, and the situation has improved a lot now. That is to say, it is impossible to draw a conclusion without the flood. Otherwise, how can these scholars compare to this?

Moreover, although we still don’t know whether the flood control measures will be effective, how far can Lu Chensheng’s ideas get rid of these people?

After the Yunjiang flood governor left, he was unable to do anything. However, Lu Chensheng was able to come up with many good strategies. How could these scholars compare?

When it comes to poetry, these scholars still don’t know what it means to have a human face without knowing where to go, and the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.

I don’t know what it means to have thousands of poems and thousands of cups of wine, how often I have looked at princes and kings with my eyes, and I don’t even know what it means to have others laugh at me because I am too crazy, and I laugh at others but they cannot see through it.

"So, what do you think can be considered talented?"

Linyu's thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he replied.

When Li Wentong heard this, he replied naturally, "Of course the poems are compared. The comparison of the Four Books and the Five Classics. We are all talented people, so there is not much difference between them, but this poem is a test of each person's talent."

The others nodded as they listened, feeling that what they said was reasonable.

The most important thing is that Lu Chensheng, who said that the other party's poems are not good, is far away in Fufeng City. Is it possible that the other party can come to the imperial capital immediately and compete with them?

Furthermore, they did not think that they would lose to Lu Chensheng in terms of this poem.

Linyu showed a bright smile when he heard the words, "Xiaohe, I will take care of you with pen and ink."

Xiaohe had been following Linyu. When he heard the words, he immediately nodded and ran over happily, taking all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Spreading the rice paper on the table, Xiao He began to carefully polish the ink for his lady.

Xiao He saw clearly and knew that this was her young lady preparing to teach those people opposite her.

Although Mr. Lu made his young lady sad, that is not something these people can slander.

"I went to Fufeng City a few days ago, and I was fortunate enough to have met Mr. Lu several times, and I also got a few calligraphy paintings from his hands. Seeing that you are so interested, my daughter will write the poems and lyrics written by Mr. Lu on your behalf, and share them with you.

Please compare one or two.

If you can produce a calligraphy masterpiece that can surpass the poems written by Mr. Lu, then consider signing a joint letter to scold him for deceiving the world and stealing his reputation."

After saying that, he saw that Xiao He had already thickened the ink, took a brush and began to write carefully, and the delicate font slowly appeared.

All the talented women on the side came over one after another. When they saw the poems written by Lin Yu slowly dancing on the paper, their expressions suddenly became extremely exciting.

From time to time, soft praises were heard.

The scholars in the distance suddenly became a little commotion when they saw the talented ladies acting like this.

They really wanted to see what poems the other party had written.

But at this moment, these talented women are all forming a circle. If they go there, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

In such a situation, having such close contact with the other person will damage the other person's maiden name.

Lin Yu has read the poems written by Lu Chensheng countless times, and now I can write them with ease.

In just a moment, all three poems were written.

When all the talented girls saw that Lin Yu had not stopped yet, their eyes suddenly lit up. The first few poems had already made their hearts flutter, and they only praised each other's talent.

Now at this moment, I actually saw that there were poems, and my heart was filled with anticipation.

But now, when Linyu was writing this poem, his expression seemed a bit complicated, but he still wrote the poem in a flash.

By the time all five poems were finished, the talented women around them were all silent. They just looked at the poems in front of them quietly, with eyes filled with awe.

Just like seeing a person when they see a poem, they have already imagined in their minds what kind of handsome scholar the person who wrote such amazingly talented and beautiful poems must be.

After all the girls had finished reading, Linyu put away the poem and gave it to Li Wentong and others.

Leaving behind the talented women who are full of reluctance.

"These five poems are just poems written by Mr. Lu that I know. Please take a look at them."

With that said, Linyu spread out the poems in front of everyone.

"The partridge sky and Xidu composition and the Peach Blossom Temple song are poems written by Mr. Lu who did not want to become an official.

This poem "Deer Chai" was written by Mr. Lu and I when we were passing by a mountain. Mr. Lu saw the charming scenery and composed it on the spur of the moment.

As for these two poems, the peach blossom poem and the one about Nanzhuang, the capital city, they are..."

When Linyu said this, his face looked a little strange, as if he had thought of something and fell into deep thought, and did not say anything further.

Li Yi on the side became a little anxious when he saw it, and took a step forward to speak.

"What's wrong with these two poems? I saw that these two poems are both very well written, and both use peach blossom as their theme. They are very talented, but these poems are full of sadness."

At this moment, the other talented women also took a step forward and nodded along with them.

Speaking of which, there are many people here who like these two poems very much, probably because they are attracted by the artistic conception in these poems.
