Chapter 100 The young man and the old master

Qin Dewei suddenly felt a little envious of the physique of the Ares County Magistrate. With such a body, and holding a water and fire stick, why should he be afraid of these three old men!

The past few decades were the era of cultural explosion in Suzhou. Wen Zhengming had seen many so-called geniuses in Suzhou. However, he had never seen a child prodigy who could write such dazzling works as Fang Shu at the age of twelve.

He couldn't help but ask Gu Lin: "Is this person really a child prodigy?"

Gu Lin smiled and said loudly to Qin Dewei: "Mr. Hengshan wants to know how good you are. I have a college entrance examination for you, do you dare to confront him?"

A couplet after a disagreement? At this time, Qin Dewei felt very strange, as if he was filming a TV series, and the plot was very deliberate.

Then I heard Gu Lin read out the first couplet: "The young crane learns to fly, and the storm begins from then on."

The people nearby cheered together: "Mr. Dongqiao, this is a good first couplet! It's appropriate for the occasion!" At the age of twelve, the young man in front of me is just a young crane learning to fly, isn't it?

But for Qin Dewei himself, this first couplet is extremely familiar, and anyone who knows something about the unofficial history of the Ming Dynasty has heard it.

So he subconsciously wrote the second line: "The hidden dragon rises, the nine-day thunderstorm will come in time!"

Everyone, including Gu Lin herself, was stunned. They never thought that this elementary school student could be so smart! And the correctness of the words was very neat, and the writing was extremely grand and energetic!

To be able to produce such a second line in a short period of time must be a child prodigy!

Gu Lin came back to her senses and sighed repeatedly: "The hidden dragon rises, the hidden dragon rises, the ambition is lofty."

As he was talking, Leader Gu suddenly reached out his hand and took off the luxurious and valuable gold belt tied around his waist.

This made Qin Dewei confused again. It's okay to write a couplet when they disagree, but what's the point of taking off his belt when he disagrees?

Also, why did this scene look so, very, very, very familiar to him, so much like deja vu? It seemed like a reenactment of a classic scene.

It doesn't make sense. As a time traveler, sometimes in order to show off, I will consciously imitate the classic stories of the "ancients" and recreate some classic scenes that have never happened.

This is the same as plagiarizing some classic poems that have not appeared in this time and space.

But for an "ancient man" like Alliance Leader Gu, how could he possibly have the awareness to plagiarize "classics"? Is it possible that Mr. Gu is also a time traveler?

While Qin Dewei was confused, Mr. Gu Lin had already taken off the gold belt from his waist and personally delivered it to Qin Dewei.

This is a high-grade gold belt, which was once a symbol of the status of a second-grade official.

Elders have gifts. Qin Dewei subconsciously took the gold belt in his confusion. This was polite.

Then I saw Mr. Dongqiao looking around and sighing: "This boy will be more valuable than me someday!"

This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, lighting up the sky in Qin Dewei's mind, and he finally understood why this scene felt so familiar!

Isn’t this what happened to Zhang Juzheng when he was twelve years old? In the original historical time and space, this scene should have happened seven years later!

At that time, Gu Lin, who was reinstated as the governor of Huguang, met the child prodigy Zhang Juzheng in Jiangling. They disagreed and made a couplet and took off his belt...

Therefore, as a good friend of the treacherous minister Yan Song, nothing happened after Gu Lin's death, and he was not criticized and pursued by the court. It was all Zhang Juzhengbao's fault...

And so Mr. Gu is really not a time traveler, he just came up with his own classics seven years in advance.

Of course, Gu Lin didn't know why Qin Dewei was confused. She just thought it was a young boy who was crushed by his pretentious rank. Dundun encouraged him: "When you wear this belt in the future, let's bear witness and give you hope!"

Qin Dewei was speechless. How many years will it take until he is qualified to wear this gold belt? Old man Gu, can you still see it with your eyes open?

And he didn't know how Zhang Juzheng responded at that time? He was waiting online, which was quite urgent.

An unknown old friend of Alliance Leader Gu named Xu Long whispered to Wang Fengyuan: "You can see why Mr. Dongqiao, your master, is the Alliance Leader?"

Wang Fengyuan was still stunned. He had seen the power of primary school students, but his teacher seemed even more unfathomable.

Xu Long, a famous hermit in Jinling, sighed. Wang Fengyuan must not have known that Gu Lin was also a generation king in his youth. He could only pretend to be invincible up and down the Yangtze River. He only had no rivals when he went south to Suzhou.

Since their generation of Jinling talents started forty years ago, they could no longer pretend to be cool than Gu Lin. Otherwise, the reason why the leader of the Jinling alliance was Gu Lin was not only because they were doing well in the officialdom, but also lived a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that Leader Gu couldn't compete with those in Suzhou in terms of talent, why would the four talented people in Suzhou dare to be called the Four Great Talents in Jiangnan? Wouldn't Nanjing be Jiangnan?

King Gu Laobi in the eyes of his contemporaries looked at the water of the Qingxi River for thousands of years and said calmly to Qin Dewei: "The legacy of cultural heritage is eternal. I am very happy to see the beautiful local materials in Jinling. Are you willing to learn from me?"

?”

Wang Fengyuan was immediately shocked and couldn't help himself. Could it be that he was not considered the successor to Teacher Gu's mantle and was closed down? Teacher Gu had fallen in love with a younger, coquettish bitch again?

However, the invitation from the leader of the Jinling Literary Circle made Qin Dewei suddenly shaken up like ice and snow, and he came to his senses completely.

Learning from you? What a joke!

Although you, Mr. Gu, are the leader of Nanjing’s literary circles, and you are good at talking and nice, but you have a serious line problem. You are a close friend of Yan Song, one of the most treacherous ministers in the history of the Ming Dynasty!

If I follow you, won't I become a member of the Yan Song Party in the future? At your age, you must have closed your eyes before Yan Song fell, but Qin Dewei can still live for decades more!

Not to mention what to do if Yan Song falls, even if he doesn't fall, Yan Song's reputation will be terrible!

So, to be fair, Qin Dewei cannot learn from Old Man Gu. He can exchange pretentious experiences, and there is no need to talk about apprenticeship.

Qin Dewei woke up and thought about the scene again. He finally realized that something was wrong.

Mr. Gu seems to be an extremely skilled director, creating a scene and getting himself deeply involved in it!

My current state of pretense is just to perform on my own, but Old Man Gu's state has reached the state of creation, and he can invisibly manipulate his opponents to participate in the performance!

Maybe he had already started to lose when he obeyed the summons and came to see him! Maybe he should have avoided seeing her from the beginning, as was the way of a celebrity!

So Qin Dewei was angry! In the show-off competition, he was at a disadvantage without knowing it, and could even be said to be close to defeat!

As long as he is vigilant, he doesn't have to lose, but he can't forgive himself!

So what if the level is high! Are the Tai Chi Master Lei and the Wulian Whip Horse Master high level? They are not the masters who were beaten by young people with random punches!

But my behavior seemed to be the other way around, and I was fooled by the old master! It was so embarrassing for young people!

Gu Lin asked again: "How are you thinking about it?"

Qin Dewei took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly returned to sharpness, and replied: "Although I heard the good news, the old gentleman is not sincere."

Gu Lin burst into laughter, pointed at Wen Zhengming and said: "Although the matter started in a hurry, I asked Wen Hengshan to witness it. How can I be dishonest?"

Qin Dewei raised the gold belt in his hand and said calmly: "I'm afraid the old gentleman has dozens of them hidden at home, right?"

Leader Gu's expression finally changed for the first time, "I don't know what you mean."

Qin Dewei seemed to be analyzing a trivial matter and talked eloquently: "I suddenly had a bold idea, the old gentleman might as well prepare dozens of gold belts.

Whenever you see a handsome young man, you can do the same and give him a gift to encourage him to make progress.

After decades of waiting, among so many people, there will always be an outstanding person who will rise to great heights and wear the gold belt that the old man gave him back then.

When the time comes, it will surely become a scholarly event, and the old gentleman’s reputation as a good judge of people will be passed down through the ages.”

The whole place was completely silent. Everyone was dumbfounded by Qin Dewei's words. Is what this primary school student said true or false?

If it's true, then it's so scary for elementary school students to be able to see through everything on the spot.

If it was false, it would be even more terrifying. He could actually tell such a crooked way, which directly dispelled the compulsion imposed by the old leader Gu!

Some high-level and high-level pretensions are most afraid of being deconstructed and exposed, just like a seemingly magical trick that will not work once it is revealed.

The simple and crude pretense of low-level people often relies on force to suppress it, and is not afraid of being deconstructed. You can pretend to be as powerful as you can exert the crushing force.

For example, in "The Fragrant Tree", everyone obviously knows that it is a pretense to show off skills, but even if it is proven, what's the use? The skills of the work are there, even if you know it is a show-off, it doesn't matter if you don't accept it.

So Qin Dewei just made a decision to lower the level of competition, and then use his rich experience to defeat the old master and defend the honor of young people!

At this time, no one else spoke, and everyone was staring at Alliance Leader Gu and the primary school student, the old and the young.

When masters fight with each other, there is no sword or blood, but what is killed is the heart!

The two of them seemed to be facing each other in circles, looking for each other's weaknesses.

In the end, it was Qin Dewei who launched the tentative attack first: "Mr., in fact, most of what I said just now were joking. But only one sentence is true, and that is that the old man is indeed not sincere."

The old alliance leader was very careful: "There is no basis for what you say. You can make it up as you like. Why do I need to explain anything."

Qin Dewei's tricks kept coming: "Look, the old gentleman said he wanted to accept me as his student, but he didn't ask for my name. It shows that the old gentleman was unintentionally negligent, and it also shows that the old gentleman doesn't actually take me to heart."

The old alliance leader still calmly defused the offensive: "Judging from your performance, you should be trying to establish a reclusive and aloof demeanor, so you show off your skills without revealing your name, and only use the nickname of elementary school student. Then I naturally want the beauty of an adult, no matter what

Your name is given."

Qin Dewei quickly issued a follow-up move: "So, this is the old gentleman's attitude towards his colleagues? Then this commoner boy is also regarded by the old gentleman as a scholar? I would like to thank the old gentleman for his high righteousness!"

The old alliance leader finally broke through and showed a slight flaw. He taught the primary school students: "Up to the present day, there are only a few people who can be called commoner poets. Most of them are in their thirties or forties before they can reach a final conclusion. Why do you want to write again?"

It has been over ten years. After all, it is not uncommon for Zhongyong to be injured, and I don’t want to see it.”

Damn it! Wang Fengyuan secretly screamed in his heart, the teacher still didn’t have enough experience in dealing with primary school students, how could he give him a reason to write a poem!

Sure enough, he saw Qin Dewei laughing loudly, seizing the opportunity to speak: "..."

For some reason, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind at this moment: "Three, Qin Dewei attends any social occasion that requires poetry and lyrics, and Wang Lianqing is Qin Dewei's only designated opposite-sex partner."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and under the expectation of everyone, the talented elementary school student suddenly got stuck.

Wen Zhengming, who came from Suzhou, looked at the unknown famous Jinling hermit Xu Long and said doubtfully: "Could it be that you Nanjing people are overly praised?"

Qin Dewei, who was bound by the contract, burst into tears when he thought that he could not pretend to be a coward. Then he thought of his creditor, Wang Lianqing and Wang Meiren, and made up a few sentences casually:

"The vitality of creation is transformed, and the beauty of heaven's workmanship is embedded with the heart of poetry. There are only two lines of tears in my life, half for the common people and half for the beauty!"

Half a commoner and half a beauty! One sentence shocked all the readers in the audience, made them empathize with each other, and brought them to the peak of excitement!

To lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, to wake up and take control of the world, is the ultimate dream of all scholars! Isn’t it just half a common man and half a beauty?

How could a twelve-year-old primary school student accidentally get a poem that is enough to mark a person's life, something that all scholars want, such as riding a horse?

The old alliance leader Gu was speechless and recited poems whenever he disagreed. Can young people still have some technical skills?

Just like the superficial beauties on the other side of the Qinhuai River today, they all like to be powerful, simple and rough, and don't like intimacy and skills!

Shaking his head, the old man Wang strutted forward and walked into the gate of the Xiyuan which was being renovated.
