Xu Qian was well-founded and there was no flaw in his words. More importantly, the confidence he exuded made even Yang Tongzhi no longer believe that the paper fan was authentic.
He was stunned and silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, said nothing, put away the paper fan and sat aside obediently.
If he wants to compete with Xu Qian again at this time, he must have a very thick skin.
You must know that talented people usually give people the impression that they are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition to having a certain level of painting and calligraphy, appreciation of calligraphy and painting is also a test standard. He is a talented person, and he can even fake authentic works.
He couldn't tell the difference. Just now Xu Qian said that he couldn't see pearls with his eyes. After this sentence was confirmed, Yang Tongzhi was already resigned to being defeated.
Three people in a row were speechless by Xu Qian, and Zhang Tang finally became angry with embarrassment.
Zhang Tang is over forty years old and is the oldest here, but he is best at calligraphy and painting. Now Xu Qian defeated Yang Tongzhi in calligraphy and painting. He couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to know a little bit about calligraphy and painting?"
This is very good, Mr. Zhang was just about to ask for advice."
Xu Qian's level of calligraphy and painting is limited to his appreciation of calligraphy and painting. His running calligraphy is pretty good, barely above average, but it would make him uncomfortable to compare calligraphy and painting with someone like Zhang Tang who has been immersed in calligraphy and painting for thirty years.
Fortunately, he didn't mind and didn't feel guilty at all. He just smiled and said, "That's not necessary."
Zhang Tang sneered: "What? You don't dare?"
The onlookers were shocked when they saw Xu Qian defeated three people in a row. At this time, they saw that Xu Qian did not dare to challenge, and they felt very puzzled. After all, his poetry, articles, calligraphy and painting appreciation are all extraordinary. As the saying goes, a person can
If the article is well done, then the level of poetry will never be too low. And if a person has an amazing appreciation of calligraphy and painting, then his level of calligraphy and painting will never be too low.
Just by looking at it from a distance, you can tell the difference between genuine and fake works. With this eyesight alone and the ability to recognize calligraphy and painting, the onlookers thought that the level of Xu Qian's calligraphy and painting was probably the same as his articles, not to mention
Hangzhou ranks first, but it is by no means inferior to Zhang Tang.
In this case, why did Mr. Xu refuse to compete with Zhang Tang? Could it be that Xu Qian really felt inferior to Zhang Tang?
Xu Qian sighed and said: "It's not that I don't dare. In my opinion, apart from calligraphy and painting, you actually have some attainments, but nothing else. Even your calligraphy and painting may not be able to catch my eye, but...
"
Hearing Xu Qian say that his calligraphy and painting were not worthy of criticism, Zhang Tang became furious: "It's just what?"
Xu Qian sighed again and said: "Uncle Zhang is a lot older. I am just a young boy. If I compete with you, I will be suspected of bullying the older one. Saints value etiquette. What is etiquette? There is order for the elders and younger ones.
If you are disrespectful, if you are young and you bully the elders, you are violating etiquette, so I will not compete with you, as it would be boring to compete with you."
Xu Qian said that I am too young to bully an uncle like you. He also said that elders cannot be disrespected and young people cannot bully their elders. The implication is: "You are an old and disrespectful thing, but you have the nerve to talk to me as a young man."
Do you still want to be shameless in a competition?"
Zhang Tang was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he could be shameless, but he could never be shameless in front of so many people. Although he was not convinced, he also felt that he was many years older than Xu Qian's father.
It was a bit embarrassing to fight with Xu Qian. So he could only snort and stop talking.
But the spectators were talking a lot. Most people thought that Xu Qian's calligraphy and painting skills were not inferior to Zhang Tang's. They didn't compare with Zhang Tang. They just saw that Zhang Tang was older. At this moment, many people went there again.
Looking at Xu Qian, I suddenly realized that this young man is really like a monster. He is good at playing chess, calligraphy, painting, and classics.
Such a young talented man... I am afraid that only Bachelor Xie could stand shoulder to shoulder with him back then. It is no wonder. No wonder Master Xie accepted this man as his disciple. This is a hero cherishing a hero.
Xu Qian yawned, looking a little tired, and his eyes finally fell on Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao was about to speak provocatively, but Xu Qian laughed and said: "Young Master Xie's literary name, I also
I've heard some, and originally wanted to teach you a lesson today, but seeing how ugly you look, I couldn't bear it. That's all. I originally wanted to discuss things with you today, but who would have thought that you would be so vulnerable, boring, boring..."
As he spoke, he could clearly feel the murderous gazes cast by the six people on him, especially Zhang Tang and Wen Tao, who wanted to rush up and beat him up.
Xu Qian sneered in his heart: "Don't you want to see my jokes? Today I will let you have a taste of being laughed at by others."
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. If you stay here any longer, there is a real possibility of turning from a literary attack to a military fight. Xu Qian stood up in a leisurely manner, and then said: "I hope you will study hard at home. In time, when you have achieved some success, Mr. Xu will come again."
Ask for advice.”
This condescending tone is really harsh.
However, in the eyes of the onlookers, Xu Qian's words were not overly arrogant. A person's tone is based on his ability. Just like when Bachelor Xie met these six people, he was willing to discuss things with them, which was considered as giving them face, because Xie
Given the reputation and level of the bachelor, just say that they are ignorant and incompetent, and I'm afraid others won't think there's anything wrong with it.
The same goes for Xu Qian. At least in the eyes of others, Xu Qian's level is definitely higher than the sum of the six people. In this case, what's the problem with having a higher posture?
In full view of everyone, Xu Qian winked at Hongxiu and said, "Xiu'er, let's go. You won't be able to humiliate yourself by staying in a crowd of uneducated people."
When Zhang Tang heard this, his old face twitched and his fists were almost clenched. However, at this time, he had nothing to say. Is it not possible to quarrel with this person named Xu here? Not only would others say that his skills were inferior to others, but he also had nothing to say.
Who said that his moral character was lacking, so he could only endure it.
Hong Xiu couldn't help but was speechless. She thought she was just a stinky scholar, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful, suppressing the young talents in Hangzhou. She didn't dare to say anything in front of everyone at this time, and quickly followed obediently.
Xu Qian walked out slowly.
The onlookers made way for Xu Qian one after another, and many of them looked in awe. Xu Qian's performance was so evil that everyone had to re-examine this guy.
As soon as Xu Qian left, these people who were watching the fun naturally dispersed.
Only Yang Tongzhi and others were left in the elegant seats with big eyes and small eyes. Finally, Yang Tongzhi came to his senses and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey... I've fallen into a trap."
His words were so shocking that the other five people couldn't help but follow his thoughts and soon understood.
This Xu Qian is not without ability, on the contrary, his ability is by no means inferior to others. However, they have demoted the six talented people from Hangzhou to nothing. This is because Xu Qian's momentum is at work. He
First, they criticized Su Tong's articles and compared them with Su Tong's articles, which gave people a feeling of being unattainable. Then they compared the poems with Zhang Wentao's poems, and Wen Tao's poems were not outstanding at all.
Xu Qian impromptuly composed a poem, and with the backdrop of the waves and green leaves, his poems became even more brilliant.
From the beginning, Xu Qian led everyone by the nose, laughing and cursing, writing poems, breaking topics and appreciating poems. He completely took the initiative. However, the six people were suppressed continuously, their self-confidence was shaken, and their thoughts were confused.
.
When discussing with others, it is a big taboo to be criticized by others. If a person is so upset, how can he perform at his highest level?
On the other hand, Xu Qian had a condescending attitude from the beginning, with a strong sense of superiority in his words, and pointed things in the right direction. The result was...
Zhang Tang said angrily, "Xu Qian is really arrogant..."
Wen Tao clenched his fists: "If I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being. Let him wait. So what if he is Xie Xie's disciple? A lowly servant is a lowly servant."
On the other hand, Yang Tongzhi couldn't help but sigh and said: "Although this guy is crazy, his talent and learning are extremely good. Alas...it's just that his skills are not as good as others."
His eyes fell on Xie Zhao, and seeing that Xie Zhao was in a daze, he asked, "What is Brother Xie thinking about?"
Xie Zhao hesitated and said: "I feel as if someone is spying on me. Hey, let's not talk about it. This Xu Qian... is really arrogant. I heard that he has a close relationship with the eunuchs in the palace. It is also said that he has a close relationship with the eunuchs in Nanjing.
Someone in the yamen was working for him, so he was given a post-Zhongliang identity..."
