Li Changan still gave up the suggestion of confronting Lu Wenliang on the Literary Saint List.
"It's just an exchange of poems and essays. As long as you don't directly curse, it won't damage your reputation." Xu Nian said,
"This is different from the discussion just now."
Li Changan still refused, "Deputy in charge, I use poetry and prose to speak, and chatting is really not what students are good at."
After Li Changan left, Xu Nian looked at Qin Xiuman and asked, "Are we really not going to take any action?"
Qin Xiuman stood up and said with a smile, "Have you read the book "Babble"?"
"Who reads love stories like that?"
"I read it." Qin Xiuman took out "Babble" from his arms and threw it to Xu Nian.
"This storybook is averagely written. If Huang Qinshan hadn't been famous, no one would have read it."
Xu Nian picked up the storybook and flipped through it, "Then what's the use of reading it?"
"Taibai's "Two Songs of Lovesickness" was originally a soundtrack for "Two Songs of Lovesickness", but now I feel that "Two Songs of Lovesickness" is an annotation for "Two Songs of Lovesickness".
Qin Xiuman staggered out of the room with his hands behind his back.
"Those masters would never have imagined that the most powerful critical article on "Two Songs of Lovesickness" would actually be a storybook of more than 100,000 words."
"Just wait, things will turn around."
…
After the academy has paid off,
Annan returned to Jiaofangsi Lingxiyuan as usual.
Caiyi's two personal maids came forward to greet her.
"Where's Caiyi?"
"The girl is practicing calligraphy inside..." A maid replied softly.
"Practice calligraphy?" Annan was a little surprised. He changed out of his college clothes and walked into the study.
Sure enough, Cai Yi, who is tall, thin and as weak as a willow, is writing seriously.
Annan stepped forward and looked at the two lines of poetry on the rice paper, "Are you also reading "Two Poems on Lovesickness"?"
Caiyi put down her brush, bowed and saluted, "Young Master."
"I was reading "Bad Words" today. When I saw these two lines of poems by Mr. Taibai, I couldn't help but be happy, so I started copying them."
Annan hugged Caiyi's slender waist from behind, and rested his delicate chin on Caiyi's shoulder, "Linglong Dice An Hongdou, I miss you so much..."
"I saw too much white today."
Caiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a hint of surprise in her tone, "How could Mr. Taibai write such a touching poem?"
"Because a woman..."
"That girl must be very happy." Cai Yi's eyes showed envy.
What woman doesn't want to be pregnant? Especially with Mr. Taibai.
Such an astonishing talent could actually write such a poem for a girl, which would make anyone's heart move.
In the Jiaofang Division, if an oiran gets one or two lines of good poetry and becomes famous all over the world, even if he only serves that talented person from now on, it will be worthwhile.
This is something that countless Jiaofangsi girls dream of.
"Envy?" Annan turned his head slightly and blew a breath into Cai Yi's ear.
Cai Yi shrank her shoulders shyly.
"What a pity, Taibai also wrote a poem for that woman, specifically to be included on the list on her birthday." Annan sighed quietly.
"Ah?" Caiyi exclaimed with her eyes wide open in disbelief, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes.
Annan let go of Caiyi, "This is so white that I am speechless."
"I gave up the great opportunity to be on the list for no reason, just to please that woman..."
Caiyi suppressed the shock in her heart and began to arrange dinner.
"Today, all the ladies in the county and wealthy families are circulating this copy of "Babble", but what they like the most is these two lines of poetry."
"Especially after reading "Babble" and reading these two lines of poems, I can't help but shed tears."
"Many people are excerpting these two lines of poetry..."
Annan's eyes were slightly blank, and he said softly, "Yes, those people always say that Taibai's poem is too entangled in the love between men and women."
"But the most valuable thing about "Two Lovesickness Songs" is this, isn't it?"
…
On the way home, Li Changan
I happened to meet Yan Qingshi.
"Master Li."
"Miss Yan." After the two of them greeted each other, they didn't know what to say.
Somewhat embarrassing.
Obviously the two of them had dinner together and experienced what happened in Sai Wan Fong.
But there is a feeling of being speechless.
The two of them happened to be on the way. Li Changan glanced at the storybook in Yan Qingshi's hand and finally found a topic, "Miss Yan is also reading "Babble"?"
Yan Qingshi lowered her head and said softly, "Yes, many people are willing to read the storybook written by Master Huang."
Li Changan touched his nose and said, "I heard that in this storybook, there is "Two Poems on Lovesickness" written by Taibai. I wonder if Miss Yan has read it?"
"Of course I have read it, especially the last two sentences, many people are reciting it." At this point, Yan Qingshi's feather-like voice seemed to have a hint of joy,
"Master Li also knows this poem?"
Hearing others praise himself in front of him, Li Changan smiled strangely, "This poem ranks very high on the list of literary saints, and I have read it."
"Master Li must find it strange, right? Master Taibai is obviously a man, but his "Lovesickness" is so delicate that even a woman can't compare to it."
Yan Qingshi never raised her head to look at Li Changan, she just lowered her head and looked at the road under her feet.
They haven't seen each other since the incident last month.
When she met Li Changan today, she felt a surprise that she didn't know why.
Just walking together made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Li Changan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer the conversation.
Is it a bit shameless to praise yourself?
Silence fell between the two again.
When he reached Goulan, Li Changan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately saluted and prepared to go home.
"Master Li..." Before he could take two steps, Yan Qingshi's voice came from behind.
"Ah? What's wrong with Miss Yan?"
Yan Qingshi seemed to muster up all the courage, raised her head, and looked at Li Changan with bright almond eyes.
"Young Master Li is a student at the academy. I have not read Mr. Li's poems yet..."
Li Changan was stunned for a moment, "If I have a chance in the future, I will ask Miss Yan for advice."
After saying that, he cupped his fists and saluted again, then turned and left.
Looking at Li Changan's back, Yan Qingshi bit her lower lip gently, and a shallow white mark appeared on her soft lips.
He lowered his head, his eyes unconsciously showing a trace of sadness.
…
When he got home, Li Changan was surprised to find Liu Zhiyin reading a book.
Looking at the cover again, it turned out to be "Babble".
"Er Lang is back?" Seeing Li Chang'an back, Liu Zhiyin couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Liu Zhiyin's smile, Li Changan's mood seemed to be floating in the air. He took Liu Zhiyin's delicate hand and squeezed it gently, "Sister-in-law is also reading this book?"
"Yes, many people are reading it outside. I heard that there is a poem in it that is very well written, so I thought about buying it and taking a look. It happens that I can also read the poem."
Liu Zhiyin let Li Changan hold her hand, feeling as if she had eaten honey, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Where's Linglong?"
"I went out and went crazy all afternoon. When I came back, I was lying down in the north room."
"This little girl." Li Changan smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, go wash your hands quickly."
"Come with me, I don't want to let go now." Li Changan shook his head.
Liu Zhiyin glanced at Li Changan angrily, her earlobes turned as red as agate, and murmured in a low voice, "Isn't it enough?"
"I want to hold hands together forever." Although the two of them were still in the stage of holding hands, it made Li Changan feel inexplicably satisfied.
"Don't let Linglong hear..." Liu Zhiyin glanced shyly in the direction of the north room, and pulled out her hand with a little force, "Go wash your hands quickly and call Linglong up, it's time for dinner."
"That's your order!" Li Changan straightened his chest with a smile, and then walked briskly into the north room, "Linglong, get up quickly and prepare for dinner. Don't sleep."
"Um...I know, I want my brother to hug me."
"Little lazy boy, be careful if I tickle you."
"Ah, no."
…
After dinner, Li Changan accompanied Liu Zhiyin and Liu Linglong to study together.
"Erlang, I haven't even read the poems you wrote." Liu Zhiyin said softly as he listened to Li Changan read "Two Poems on Lovesickness".
With a faint smile on his face, Li Changan approached Liu Zhiyin's ear and said, "In a few days, I will sort out the poems and show them to my sister-in-law."
"Hmm..." Liu Zhi's voice was like a mosquito. He glanced at Liu Linglong next to him secretly and reached out to pinch Li Changan.
Li Changan stood up with a smile and prepared to practice calligraphy.
Suddenly the academy's jade badge shook slightly. I took it out and looked at it.
"Brother Li, "Two Songs of Lovesickness" has rushed to fifth place! - Bing32"
Li Changan was startled and quickly summoned Wenlu. Sure enough, the reputation of "Two Songs of Lovesickness" was rapidly increasing, and the gap with fourth place was also narrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's strange. With so many masters targeting you, how come your ranking is rising so quickly?"
