Chapter 24 Your identity is the landlord of Yibolou Building
"Next please!"
Liu Yun was defeated, and the middle-aged man in front of the pavilion shouted loudly again.
"Even Liu Yun can't compare to that Shi Mo... won't we be asking for trouble if we go up there?"
"It's just that I, Ji Jin Ji Liang, know very well that I looked down on this poetry demon before!"
"Liu Yun is the first among the new imperial examination candidates in Dongdu..."
Wow!
Originally there was a long queue in front of the pavilion, but as the middle-aged man shouted again, the queue dispersed and almost no one was waiting in line.
The scribes and scholars were very proud of themselves, and in their opinion, it was better to just sit back and watch the excitement than to go up and walk out from the other end of the pavilion in despair.
Mo Xu and Liu Yun, who had been defeated before, had left this place without saying a word, obviously unwilling to stay here any longer and be embarrassed.
"Um?"
Seeing such a situation, the middle-aged man looked surprised and couldn't help but turn around and look back at the pavilion.
"Please invite the next scribe who wants to challenge Senior Shi Mo!"
After a pause, he drank again, his voice much higher than before.
"Hey, who can give it a try?"
“I’m afraid there’s no one left in Dongdu!”
"It's possible that after Liu Yun's defeat, many new candidates chose to give up. There are quite a few experts in Xidu."
"Is this poetry battle going to end so soon?"
After the middle-aged man drank loudly, the discussion started.
...
"I want to experience the talent of Shi Mo!"
One breath, two breaths... Just when the scribes were looking at each other, a voice sounded under the willow tree.
Everyone hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound.
Soon, I saw Li Chaowei slowly coming to the pavilion. He had a face like a crown jewel, was dressed in a long robe, and was holding a folding fan. He looked quite good.
"Who is this young master? He is so confident and dares to challenge Shi Mo at this time?"
Seeing this, someone couldn't help but ask.
"It turns out to be him!"
"who is he?"
"It is said that he is the nephew of the owner of Yunyi Bookstore. He is very talented. Recently, his book "The Biography of Liu Yi" has been selling well."
"Did he write Liu Yi's biography?"
"Well! Liu Yi's biography is quite good, maybe there is hope. Although this person has failed many times before, there are rumors that he is very good at poetry and poetry, and he is not far behind those great talents in the Western Capital.
And I heard that this person will go to Xidu soon to attend the book appreciation ceremony held by the Imperial Concubine!"
"In this case, there may still be hope."
"Take a look and then talk!"
Most of the literati and talented people in the eastern capital gathered here, and within a short time, all the details about Li Chaowei were revealed.
"Li Chaowei at Yunyi Bookstore in Lower Dongdu!"
While they were discussing, Li Chaowei was already standing in front of the middle-aged man.
"Li Langjun invites you!"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly at Li Chaowei and made a gesture of invitation.
Thanks,
Li Chaowei lifted his robe and entered the pavilion.
As Li Chaowei entered the pavilion, the discussion at the scene gradually died down, and many people began to look forward to the final result.
The scribes were watching the excitement with relaxed expressions, but under the willow tree, Jiang Yunyi and Xu Shan looked nervous.
"Is your nephew okay?"
After a while, Xu Shan finally couldn't hold it back, rubbed his hands and looked at Jiang Yunyi.
Or because of the incident at Zuixian Tower, he felt a little displeased no matter how he looked at Jiang Yunyi, thinking that Jiang Yunyi had dug a big hole for him. If he hadn't still wanted to recruit the master in the pavilion, he really wanted to question him
Question this Jiang Yunyi.
"Don't worry, Boss Xu! My nephew's ability in poetry, lyrics and poetry is not weak!"
Jiang Yunyi waved his hand, signaling Xu Shan not to worry.
But the words are so true, everyone can see that his face is full of uncertainty and worry.
"That's good!"
Xu Shan felt a little relieved and looked towards the pavilion again.
.......
"Lang Jun, it turns out he is Li Chaowei!"
On the other side of the river, Xue Song and Li Mo were also paying attention to the situation in the pavilion. Seeing Li Chaowei's appearance, Xue Song couldn't help but ask.
"Even Li Chaowei will definitely lose!" Li Mo shook his head slightly.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to Li Chaowei but was always thinking about what poems to use to deal with Wang Changling.
Just now, all of Wang Changling's poems had gone through Li Mo's mind, and he had listed everything related to spring scenery.
Finally, Li Mo guessed that the poem Wang Changling had written in advance this time might be the song "Girlfriend's Grudge". Only this poem was a famous poem related to spring.
"The young woman in her boudoir knows no worries, and goes up to the green building with her makeup on in the spring day.
Suddenly I saw the color of willows on the street, and I regretted teaching my husband to look for a title."
The story of a noble lady sees the green willows and spring on the street, and realizes the emptiness of her spiritual life. She feels that there is no point in dressing up, and she is left alone without any happiness.
This poem is called Spring, but it actually uses "regret" as the poetic eye.
It seems like he is talking about the resentful wife in his boudoir, and he is vaguely expressing his regretful mood for being demoted after becoming an official. From this, it can be seen that although he has traveled around the world, he still wants to return to the temple in his heart.
Therefore, if you want to defeat Wang Changling, you must not only focus on the scenery of spring, but also put yourself into Wang Changling's situation.
Which poem should I choose?
Finally, a poem came into Li Mo's mind. This poem is called "Bochuan Guazhou" and is a masterpiece written by Wang Anshi, a famous scholar of later generations.
“Between Jingkou and Guazhou, there are only a few mountains separated by Zhongshan Mountain.
The spring breeze is greening the south bank of the river again, when will the bright moon shine on me again?"
Not only is the scene in "Boancing Guazhou" more grand, but the most important thing is that it describes a person's mood of expectation to the extreme, and it perfectly fits Wang Changling's current situation. This should be able to overcome Wang Changling's grievances.
"Mr. Lang... Since Li Chaowei will be defeated, when will Mr. Lang go to the pavilion to compete in poems?"
Xue Song didn't know what Li Mo was thinking. After hearing this, he couldn't help but ask in anticipation.
He is not good at poetry and poetry, and now he is only thinking about how to recruit this master to his husband.
"Should I go to the pavilion? No! Brother Xue, you go this time!"
After coming back to his senses, Li Mo shook his head slightly.
In fact, this decision was only made on the spur of the moment after seeing the details of Li Chaowei's life experience being revealed by those princes.
If he really defeated Wang Changling and took Wang Changling back as his attendant, he would definitely cause an uproar in the Eastern Capital.
It wouldn't be a problem if he changed his identity...but he is a member of the Li clan.
How could that guy from An Lushan watch helplessly as a member of the Li clan possessed a master like Shi Mo and remain indifferent? Besides, this would also attract the attention of the Li clan in the Western Capital.
People in those families are extremely selfish, and it is not impossible to forcefully demand Wang Changling.
So until you don't have the absolute ability to protect yourself, it's better to keep a low profile.
"Lang Jun? I'll go...this...Lang Jun, it's okay if he fights with the poetry demon, but this time it's a fight with poetry..."
Xue Song was stunned when he heard Li Mo's arrangement.
Why did a theatergoer suddenly become an opera singer?
"Yes, you go! And this time you are the owner of Yibo Building!"
Li Mo nodded heavily.
Then he whispered something to Xue Song, and after a while, he spoke again,
"Remember?"
"remember!"
After finally regaining consciousness, Xue Song nodded in confusion.
