Chapter 20 Poems
Lin Haoran saw their reactions in his eyes and couldn't help but feel reassured. Naturally, he saw through the intentions of these people. But he couldn't really make things difficult for them. After all, he also had the same needs, and only cooperation could lead to mutual benefit.
He pretended to think seriously for a moment, then nodded cautiously and said: "That's true!"
This undoubtedly agrees with their views and has reached a consensus in this regard.
After hearing this, several people's eyes lit up, and the scholar with a mole on his face said impatiently: "How about you reject those people and sign a bail with me and the four others?"
This is the reason why they are eager to find Lin Haoran this time, and they want to provide mutual insurance with him.
Originally, they already had a complete five-person mutual insurance policy, but unfortunately his partner who was staying at Youpenglai Inn was burned by the fire, so they were short of one spot.
It's just that this quota can't be filled by just finding a cat or a dog. These five people are guaranteeing each other. If one person cheats, the other four people will definitely be ruined.
That's why they were very cautious in selecting people. After hearing that Lin Haoran had arrived, they immediately excitedly searched for Lin Haoran all over the city, but it was a pity that they searched all the inns in the city and couldn't find him.
Fortunately, they greeted every inn, so someone notified them as soon as Lin Haoran checked in! However, who would have thought that Lin Haoran had already found someone to guarantee the stay, which made them very nervous.
"This is not good!" Lin Haoran pretended to be embarrassed and said hesitantly. In fact, this was not what he was thinking. At this moment, he wanted to nod in agreement and solve this big problem that troubled him.
The noble master seemed to be aware of his indecisive temperament. He immediately closed his fan and said forcefully: "Brother Lin, what's so difficult about this? It's hard for you to tell me, so I'll tell you for you!"
"This... that's not necessary!" Lin Haoran continued to pretend to be stupid, but muttered: "But they are very nice people. Seeing that I didn't bring a study room, they said they would give me some!"
"This is the Langhao brush, given to you!" The fat scholar, who had been silent all this time, took out a brush and handed it to him generously.
"I didn't bring any Mo!" Lin Haoran muttered.
"This is the finest Songyan ink, here it is for you!" The scholar with the mole on his face took out the ink and reluctantly handed it to him.
"I didn't bring the inkstone either!" Lin Haoran muttered.
"This is Duan Inkstone, here it is for you!" the young scholar who looked like a girl said softly.
"..." Lin Haoran looked at the noble master, but couldn't think of anything after thinking for a long time.
"I know you are short of money, so I'll help you with this!" The noble master took out some silver and stuffed it into Lin Haoran's arms, feeling extremely proud.
Jiang Ronghua suddenly noticed Lin Haoran looking at him. He was puzzled at first, but he immediately realized it and said angrily: "Count how many people are here!"
Lin Haoran counted carefully and realized immediately that this guy had secured a guarantee with someone else. He was so disappointed!
Although he couldn't get any benefits from Jiang Ronghua, he was generally very happy after getting so many good things and settling the guarantee issue. The four people who came to visit him were like living Lei Feng.
Early the next morning, four people knocked on his door and went with him to see the guarantor. The guarantor would hand over the pledge of their guarantee to the county government ceremony room. As long as the situation was verified to be correct, they would arrive at
They will be added to the candidate list.
Having settled this matter on his mind, the rich man was very enthusiastic and immediately invited everyone to have a drink at Fugui Restaurant.
This rich young man’s name is Gu Qingfeng, the son of a rice merchant in this county, and his family is quite wealthy. The scholar with the big mole on his face is called Zheng Guozhi, who is from Shicheng County. The young scholar who looks like a girl is called Zhao Dongcheng, a pretty girl.
He has a manly name and is the son of a cloth merchant in this county. The only fat man is Zhang Lei, a native of Shicheng County.
Lin Haoran was a classmate of Gu Qingfeng and Zheng Guozhi, and the other two were not familiar with each other, but the four of them were all students of Qingshan Academy. Zheng Guozhi was the oldest, and Zhao Dongcheng was the youngest.
When we arrived at the second floor of Fugui Restaurant, there was actually a group of scholars here. Immediately, more than a dozen students gathered together. I don’t know who suggested writing poems, but they all responded.
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts!
In fact, it is difficult to comment on the quality of this poem. After the work reaches a certain height, people's opinions will play a very important factor. Therefore, we have already formed a tacit understanding. You help me praise my work, and I will help you praise your work.
Mutual benefit to each other.
Lin Haoran went over to take a look. Although he didn't know how to taste, he thought they were all very ordinary, but Zhao Dongcheng, who looked like a woman, had some looks, and seemed a little more powerful.
When it was Su Guozhi's turn, he held up his sleeves with one hand and splashed ink with the other, giving him an aura of genius. However, what he wrote with the brush was extremely ordinary, but the result was praised by the audience.
How boring!
Lin Haoran looked at the nonsense poem, and then at the people who were enthusiastically touting it. He immediately felt bored and turned to drinking and eating in the corner, thinking that it was almost time to go back to the half restaurant to help.
Everyone's words and words made Su Guozhi's bad poem come alive. But Su Guozhi didn't know it, and his whole body immediately felt as if he had drunk two kilograms of soju.
Finally, someone noticed Lin Haoran's existence!
"Isn't this Lin Ruoyu who is on par with Jiang Yuebai? Come on! Let's appreciate his poems!" This was a middle-aged scholar who sounded like he came from Qingshan Academy.
Everyone looked at Lin Haoran, seeing that he seemed to want to back down, but his interest became even stronger. This is like trying to persuade someone to drink. The more you avoid drinking, the more aggressive everyone will be.
People who knew Lin Haoran well were even more enthusiastic because they knew that this nerd was devoted to books about sages, could not bend his head at all, was not proficient in poetry, and had never even heard of him writing poetry.
Therefore, someone had already taken action and half pulled and half pushed Lin Haoran to the table where the pen and ink were placed.
"I can't write poetry!"
Lin Haoran was busy trying to evade it. This was really not a cliché. He really didn't know how to write poetry. Although he had written a few disgusting love poems for girls, but if they were placed here, I'm afraid he would no longer be a nerd, but a beast in clothes.
After everyone heard this answer, they became even more interested. What I like is that you can’t write poetry. If you were really good at writing poetry, then we really wouldn’t invite you!
"Don't hide! You are as talented as Jiang Yuebai. Write a poem quickly to open my eyes!"
Lin Haoran was pushed back by Chen Guozhi, who was the most popular person today, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know everyone's little thoughts, but he was not so thin-skinned, so he finally took the brush that had been stuffed in his hand.
While everyone was waiting to see the joke, he actually put pen to paper!
"Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine."
Isn't this written by so and so? Who is it!
Without letting others think of the answer, Lin Haoran wrote another sentence.
"Two orioles sing in the green willows."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone laughed. There was a poem in front of it, and a poem in the back. What the hell is this? Saying that he is not good at poetry is just a compliment, which is nonsense.
Amid everyone's laughter, Lin Haoran continued to write another sentence.
"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, a row of egrets ascended into the blue sky."
This is a crooked poem that is popular on the Internet and has been sought after by many people. It can be regarded as an interesting mixture. After writing this, Lin Haoran put down the brush and cupped his hands towards everyone, with a smile on his lips.
"Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, two orioles singing in the green willows."
"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, a row of egrets ascended into the blue sky."
Everyone looked at this poem and couldn't help but shake their heads, and immediately looked down upon Lin Haoran. This poem seemed neat, but not only was it pieced together haphazardly, it was almost stolen.
"Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine," comes from Lu You's "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix", "Two orioles sing in the green willows, and a row of egrets ascend to the blue sky." comes from Du Fu's "Quatrains". As for "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road", this
It's just added for neatness, but it's still so bland and has no highlights at all.
The only praiseworthy thing about the whole poem is the neatness of the word.
"Sure enough, it's just an elm head!"
"With a brain like this, no matter how many sages you read, it's useless!"
"With such a level, he still dares to take the county exam. He is destined to accompany him in the exam!"
…
Everyone looked at this nonsense poem with contempt and sadness on their faces.
Those who knew him despised his poetry and prose, while those who didn't know him directly thought that this person was ignorant and incompetent. It seemed that no one except the student named Zhao Dongcheng noticed that Lin Haoran was actually a good calligrapher.
Lin Haoran, however, bowed his hands and kept a smile on his face. Since everyone needs a nerd who is ignorant and unskilled, he will act as a person to satisfy these people's sense of superiority.
Just looking at this picture, Zhang Mingming was extremely happy, but he showed a heartbroken expression, which he found interesting.
