Chapter 289: Hua Zi'an

The second event took a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info decide the winner when the moon rises at the beginning of tomorrow.

When the second scene was over, the old man announced to everyone in the audience that he would end here today and continue tomorrow.

The nine victorious contestants, Bai Wen, were invited to the banquet, and the rest dispersed. Wang Chong and Pan Mengcheng also walked out of Xuanhe Garden with the flow of people.

After watching the event for a day, Wang Chong felt hungry. He invited Pan Mengcheng to drink together, and Pan Mengcheng was also happy to be with Wang Chong.

Wang Chong took Pan Mengcheng to find the tavern he had been to. The tavern was still sparsely populated, and only one person was drinking when Wang Chong arrived.

The two stepped in, and the boss beckoned them to sit down. Wang Chong asked the boss to make a jar of wine and a few other side dishes.

The boss smiled at Wang Chong and said, "The customer has come to my small shop." I still know you, old man. Why didn't the girl who traveled with you come? ”

Wang Chong replied, "We have just returned from the Poetry Society. The female companion was not with him. I remember that the old man's wine tasted very good, so he specially invited this friend of mine to come and taste it. ”

The boss laughed. I'm going to prepare food and drinks for them. The food and drinks have not yet arrived. Wang Chong asked Pan Mengcheng. Whether the nine finalists of the poetry competition are really talented.

Pan Mengcheng said: "These people are all amazing and brilliant people. They are all celebrities from all over the world. Xiao Sheng admires these people very much. ”

As soon as Pan Mengcheng's words fell, he heard a voice sound: "What is amazing?" It's just some people who deceive the world and steal their reputation. Really talented people will not come to the poetry competition. ”

Wang Chong and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and they looked at the voice. It was the guest in the tavern who spoke. The man was wearing a gray robe with patches on it.

Wang Chong was curious: "What did Mr. come up with such a meaning?" Could it be that none of the people in the Poetry Club have real talent and learning? ”

The man turned around and stood up, and Wang Chong saw the person's face clearly. The man was tall and thin, with an elongated face. but his eyes were as big as brass bells. Wang Chong cut this person, he is a down-and-out scholar.

The man snorted coldly: "People who have real talent and real learning are not for fame and fortune. Naturally, he disdains to compete with others. As the saying goes, the article is made by nature, and the magic hand is occasionally obtained. Writing poems in order to win a competition must be bullshit, and the words do not reach the meaning. Do you think they are truly learned? Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart: It seems that this is a cynical sour literati. Wang Chong got up and invited the man to sit with him. The ragged scholar was not polite either, and sat down on their table with a loud sigh.

Wang Chong asked for the person's name. This person claimed to be Hua Zi'an. Pan Mengcheng has no good impression of this Hua Zi'an. He thinks Hua Zi'an is too arrogant. Since Wang Chong invited him to the same table, Pan Mengcheng couldn't speak out against it.

After Hua Zi'an sat down, Pan Mengcheng said unhappily: "In Brother Hua's opinion, how can he be regarded as a talented person." Do you have to be out of the world and not eat the fireworks of the world before you can call it true talent and real learning? ”

Hua Zi'an looked at Pan Mengcheng, and then said, "Childe's words are wrong. As the saying goes, the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. Without sufficient experience, how can it be called learning? I think those people are just people who chew words. If their poems can be called strange ancestral halls, they will not make the literati of the world laugh through their bellies. ”

Pan Mengcheng ignored Hua Zi'an in anger. Wang Cheng found this person interesting. He smiled: "I don't know why Brother Hua thinks that talent is real learning?" ”

Hua Zi'an raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "In the whole world, a really talented person should be Yan Ruyu." ”

This is the second time Wang Chong has heard Yan Ruyu's name. I heard Hua Zi'an continue: "I was fortunate to see this goddess in the next place. With her poetry, she is unparalleled in the world. ”

This is another person who worships Yan Ruyu. In Wang Chong's opinion, this Yan Ruyu must have something extraordinary.

Pan Mengcheng heard that Hua Zi'an mentioned Yan Ruyu, but he did not refute it. just said: "I have also heard what Brother Hua said about Yan Ruyu. But I don't know how Brother Hua's writing is? Is it higher than the nine selected talents? ”

Pan Mengcheng deliberately took Hua Zi'an's army and let him leak the details. Hua Zi'an laughed, suddenly stood up and walked towards the distance of the tavern. As he walked, he said, "I'll let you see what's down tomorrow." "Before the words fell, the people were gone. Wang Chong couldn't help but marvel at Hua Zhi'an's speed like the wind.

was disturbed by Hua Zi'an, and the two had no intention of drinking. Wang Chong paid for the wine, and the two dispersed.

Wang Chong returned to the stone camp and was met with meditation. Jing Xin knew that he had gone to the Poetry Competition, so he asked about the Poetry Competition. Wang Chong told her about it. Later, he also mentioned meeting Hua Zi'an in the tavern. When Wang Chong talked about Yan Ruyu, Jingxin was also very interested in him.

The next day, Wang Chong came to Xuanhe Garden again, and Pan Mengcheng was already waiting here. This time, the two not only have to watch the third competition, but also see how Hua Zi'an shows them his talent.

The third match has begun. Yesterday's old man shouted loudly from the high platform: "Talents. The third contest is now underway, and the prefect will be invited to announce the title of today's contest. ”

After speaking, the old man stepped aside. Then on the high platform of the Ming Tower, a person wearing an official uniform stood up. The man had a pale complexion and three strands of beard. He looks suave and elegant, and at first glance he is a learned person.

Wang Chong knew that this was Wen Bozhang. I saw Wen Bozhang walk to the front of the stage and open a scroll in his hand. The scroll has the word Xuanyu written on it. He also asked nine contestants to answer the topic of Xuan Yuyuan.

There are already nine bookcases on the Ming floor for nine people to write poems. After the seizure is washed, it will be announced one by one.

The nine people who were selected were already standing behind the bookcase, waiting for the prefect to come up with the question. After Wen Bozhang showed the title to everyone, he turned around and let the nine contestants watch.

After reading the title, the nine began to write hard. Wang Chong saw that the contestants had already started to answer the questions, but Hua Zi'an did not appear. He looked at Pan Mengcheng. Pan Mengcheng was also looking at him.

Pan Mengcheng chuckled and said, "It seems that this Hua Zi'an is just lip service." He kept saying that the literati in the world were deceiving the world and stealing fame, but he didn't dare to answer the questions himself. In vain I believed his words last night. “

Wang Chong doesn't think Hua Zizai is the kind of person who only talks about it. After another while, the contestants had finished writing. The judges stepped forward and took the paper and chanted it to everyone in the audience.

The first poem was written by a young scholar. The title is: Shuori and Xuanyuyuan will be poems. The sun is sunny and the sky is combined, and the sky is full of talent. He gathered all the texts together, and there were waves in the Xuanyu Garden.

I don't know if it was influenced by Hua Zi'an, Wang Chong suddenly felt light and tasteless after listening to this poem. Listening to the people around him also judging themselves, Wang Chong was anxious to see how the next song would be.

By this time the second poem had already been written. It was written by a middle-aged scribe. He handed the written poem to the prefect of Wen.

The prefect read the poem and passed it to the master of ceremonies who specializes in chanting poetry. The master of ceremonies cleared his throat and began to chant. The poem is called: Xuan Yu Qile.
