After Wu Jie whispered to Mr. Cheng, he looked towards Zhao Yuanfei from time to time. It seemed that the two sides already knew each other's details.
Mr. Lu secretly observed the situation and laughed in a low voice: "It seems that the battle for the title tonight is between Mr. Luo and Mr. Cheng." He then added: "Huang Shaonan, who should have been the center of attention, is instead.
He has become an irrelevant person."
When Tantai Wenwang heard this, he felt secretly disappointed. Even Huang Shaonan had become a marginalized figure, so there was no chance for me. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt depressed and lifeless.
Originally, this competition for posts was just for fun, and he would be happy if he succeeded, but it didn't matter if he failed, but the prize tonight was to meet Lady Peony, and he was very eager to come out on top.
At this time, a woman Shanshan came. Her temperament was very different at first glance. The woman smiled and said: "Dear gentlemen, I am Lady Peony's personal maid, He'er. Today's poetry competition will be supervised by Lady Peony, so this
The title was also written by Lady Peony, and the title has been prepared and is in this brocade box."
Everyone here is already familiar with this procedure. He'er opened the brocade box, took out a piece of paper, and read out: "Using "Qin Tower" as the title, compose a poem. There is no limit to the meter, and the time limit is one.
Incense."
It seems that Lady Peony knew that the young men who came to participate in the poetry competition today were not very talented and learned, so she did not make things too difficult and gave a topic that was very easy to compose poems. These young men spend their days being romantic, and such a topic should suit their taste.
After He'er finished explaining the topic, he smiled and said: "There is still a prize in this poetry competition tonight, and the winner will be interviewed by Lady Peony in person."
All the gentlemen here, their eyes lit up when they heard this. This is a very good fortune. Lady Peony is the second best among women when it comes to flowers. It would be difficult to meet her on weekdays and rely on your own talents to learn. But today is an excellent opportunity. There are no celebrities to compete for it.
.
Afterwards, several maidservants came in and distributed pens, inks, paper and inkstones. He'er personally brought the incense burner with a burning incense stick inserted in it and placed it on the couch in the middle so that everyone could see it.
Many young masters have begun to rack their brains and think hard. Huang Shaonan next to Mr. Zhao has already begun to think deeply. Mr. Luo, who is at the same table, smiles slightly and gestures with two fingers to Mr. Cheng at the table of Mr. Wu, meaning:
Said he had already thought of two poems.
Not to be outdone, Mr. Cheng responded with three fingers, meaning that he had come up with three poems.
These two young men from the Trendy Poetry Society are really quick-thinking. This poetry competition has just begun, and one has already come up with two poems, and the other has come up with three. However, today is not a competition between who has written more poems, but a competition.
Whoever writes the best poem will decide the winner.
Mr. Luo whispered something in Zhao Yuanfei's ear. Zhao Yuanfei was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately wrote it down.
This cheating is too aboveboard, but everyone knows it tacitly, and everyone does this kind of thing all the time.
Tantai Wenwang saw that Luo Yuanfei and Wu Jie had already started writing, and then he came back to his senses, turned around and looked towards Xie Fu, and saw that Xie Fu had his head tilted slightly to the side, closed his eyes, and actually fell asleep standing up.
Tantai Wenwang was furious when he saw this. At such a critical and tense moment! He actually fell asleep and didn't take it seriously at all!
If it were not convenient for him to take action at this time, Tantai Wenwang would definitely slap him and wake him up.
Tantai Wenwang pushed Xie Fu, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Hey, hey, hey..."
Xie Fu woke up immediately. He had been practicing the "Taiyi Jinhua Heart Method" during the day and had exhausted his energy. He was so bored that he fell asleep just now.
Mr. Lu next to him smiled and said: "Brother Tantai, your companionship is very interesting. This is the first time I have seen someone falling asleep standing like this in a brothel. Don't you know that you can come to the brothel once, but you are in such a bad situation."
Tantai Wenwang gave a wry smile, and in response, whispered to Fu Xie: "The poetry competition has begun."
Xie Fu responded with a faint "Oh", as if he didn't take the poetry competition seriously at all.
"Oh, what, hurry up and think about how to compose this poem for me?"
Mr. Lu next to him was surprised when he heard this and asked in a low voice: "Brother Tantai, is he the helper you invited?"
These helpers were hired too casually. Even if these young men are all half-empty, they cannot underestimate people, at least not underestimate Huang Shaonan. Huang Shaonan has real talent and learning.
Tantai Wenwang had a wry smile on his face. Before he even finished the poem, he lost his temper and said: "Originally, I just brought this companion to see the world and join in the fun, but today's lucky draw is to meet Lady Peony.
Just try your luck."
Mr. Lu chuckled: "Brother Tantai, you, you, when you think of Lady Peony, you don't care about anything."
Tantai Wenwang had no choice but to laugh and cover it up. Suddenly he turned to Fu Xie and asked, "Do you have any inspiration, any clever words that come to mind?"
Xie Fu asked: "What is the topic?"
You don’t even know what the topic is, so you’re here to play with me, right? Tantai Wenwang was so angry that he became numb, and raised his hand and said: “Come on, come on, you can just stand, I will come in person tonight.”
Xie Fu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. The main thing is to rely on your own strength."
Tantai Wenwang was furious, "You..." This pretty boy actually satirized himself.
Seeing Fu Xie's dumbfounded look, Mr. Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Tantai, where did you find such a living treasure?"
Tantai Wenwang said in a deep voice: "I don't want to rely on him anyway." As he said this, he began to think seriously.
After a long time, I suddenly caught a glimpse of several bead lanterns on the top, and suddenly I had an idea, "Here we are, bead lanterns...bead lanterns..."
After reading the bead lamp for a long time, he couldn't come up with a single word. After all, he had limited ink, so it was really difficult for him to write poems.
Unknowingly, half a stick of incense had passed, and Huang Shaonan seemed to have a masterpiece and was whispering to Zhao Yuanfei.
Zhao Yuanfei picked up his pen and started writing again. In the time it took him half a stick of incense, there were already three poems on the table.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that two poems were written by Mr. Na Luo, one was written by Huang Shaonan, and Zhao Yuanfei was just a name seeker.
Everyone present knew the basics, and Zhao Yuanfei definitely did not have the talent to compose three poems within half a stick of incense.
Three poems were placed in front of us. We were now discussing which poem was the best. After a while, the one written by Huang Shaonan was removed and eliminated first.
Huang Shaonan's expression was not very good, but he was not unconvinced at all. The two poems written by Mr. Luo were indeed better than his.
Everyone wrote three poems for selection, but Tantai Wenwang didn't write a single sentence, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Mr. Lu laughed in a low voice and said, "I think the song written by Huang Shaonan seems to have been abandoned. How about we take it over and top it, so that we can avoid handing in a blank paper for a while."
Mr. Lu's words did not comfort him at all, but only added fuel to the fire. Tantai Wenwang said coldly: "How could I pick up things that others don't want?"
***The author has something to say***
I will thank all the brothers who gave rewards tomorrow.
