Chapter 264 Birthday Banquet ([-])

Xu Xiantu opened the note, showing an exaggerated expression of surprise on purpose, and laughed loudly: "It's unbelievable. We Song Dynasty has produced a large number of talents, and it's a good story with both civil and military skills! I announce that the first place will be Chen Qing, the envoy of Qinzhou."

As soon as Xu Xiantu finished speaking, there was an uproar in the atrium. The name Chen Qing had just become popular for a while. People, I can't accept it in my heart.

A man asked loudly: "Is it because General Chen has made great contributions to driving Wan Yanchang away, so I gave him the first place as a reward?"

This is hard to hear. You are not convincing others with your talents, but caring from the inside.

Xu Xiantu couldn't hold back, he coughed heavily, "Please be quiet! Everyone listen to me before making a judgment."

The atrium gradually became quiet. I'm afraid there is only Lu Xiu here, and everyone else has doubts. After all, only Lu Xiu read this poem, and even Li Qingzhao showed surprise.

Xu Xiantu continued: "The poem written by General Chen is called "The Farmhouse". It is the only poem on the farmhouse in the back house. Read it to everyone, and let everyone listen to it, whether it can be listed as the first."

Xu Xiantu cleared his throat and read aloud:

Mo Xiao's farmhouse is full of wine and drunk, and he stays with chicken and dolphin in good years.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Xiaogu follows Chunshe, and the clothes are simple and ancient.

From now on, if Xu Xing leisurely by the moon, knocking on the door every night with a stick.

"Okay! What a mountain and river, there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers!"

All the literati present were literati who knew the goods. When this poem came out, everyone was convinced and the applause was extremely enthusiastic.

Xu Xiantu smiled and waved to Chen Qing, and Chen Qing came out, he was really ashamed, he copied a poem to curry favor with the beautiful woman, unexpectedly won the first place, he didn't like this kind of fame.

Chen Qing stepped forward bravely, bowed and saluted, "See Grand Scholar!"

"General Chen, can you tell us where the scene in this poem is?"

Chen Qing said with a wry smile: "This is my childhood memory. I saw in Qinzhou that the villages along the way were ruined and deserted. I miss the past very much, so I wrote this poem!"

The atrium was very quiet. Chen Qing's words were a bit disappointing. Xu Xiantu laughed, "General Chen is concerned about the country and the people. It is admirable. The poems are well written. The first place is expected!"

Shen should see that Lu Xiu looked at Chen Qing with tenderness and love, and secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong. His only advantage was writing, and he used his literary talent to overwhelm Chen Qing's martial arts. Now Chen Qing's poems are also overwhelming him. It's really hard to win a beautiful woman's heart, and you can't admit defeat like this.

Shen Gai looked to his friend Liu Huan for help, and Liu Huan nodded knowingly. He came to his uncle Liu Jin, a scholar, and whispered a few words to him.

Liu Jin glanced at Shen Gai with a half-smile, of course he also knew about Lu Yihao's marriage proposal to Chen Qing, and now Chen Qing has overwhelmed Shen Gai, which is quite interesting.

Liu Jin coughed lightly, and said with a smile to Zhang Jun: "I think propositional poems limit the talents of the three of them a bit. Why don't we let them go and let the three of them write poems and inscriptions on the spot, how about it?"

Liu Jin's suggestion won the approval of most of the literati present. After all, it was a bit embarrassing for a general to win the first place in the poetry competition. Before Zhang Jun could express his opinion, everyone cheered together, "Good! Good suggestion!"

Zhang Jun glanced at Chen Qing, seeing Chen Qing's proud expression without any fear, then looked at Lu Yihao, Lu Yihao nodded slightly.

Zhang Jun got up and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the government gave me a pearl, which is as big as a walnut. Then we will use this pearl as a prize, and ask the three of you to compose a poem to express your ambition. There is a stick of incense for a limited time." !"

Zhang Jun took out a large pearl that was extremely round and radiant, which was as big as a walnut, and put it on a plate. Everyone looked at this pearl with envy. One must know that a pearl can be as big as a sparrow egg. , it is already rare, this one is as big as a walnut and so round, it is simply a rare treasure in the world.

The three young people came off the stage again, Xu Xiantu smiled and said: "This time you are not restricted, you each write a poem or a poem, although there is no restriction, but you can't write obscene and flamboyant poems."

There was another burst of laughter in the atrium, Xu Xiantu waved his hand, "One stick of incense for a limited time, you all start preparing!"

The entourage quickly started to arrange, brought the table, spread rice paper on it, prepared pens and inks, and one of the entourage lit a stick of incense.

The three of them began to think about it. Although they said that there was no limit to the subject matter, each of them had a ruler in their hearts. For example, today is a birthday banquet, so it would not work to write about Su Dongpo's "Short Pine Hill", and Li Qingzhao's "Desolate and Miserable" It doesn't work either.

Zhao Wenxin looked at his father Zhao Ding, Zhao Ding quietly picked up a birthday peach, Zhao Wenxin immediately realized that his father asked him to write birthday poems.

However, Shen Gai saw an incense burner on the steps. It was a birthday gift sent by the government. He had to take this opportunity to pay respects to the government!
Chen Qing looked at Lu Xiu, who said he couldn't please women, he was right to listen to the opinions of the beautiful women at critical moments.

Lu Xiu smiled sweetly, suddenly her face turned frosty, she turned her palm into a knife, and slashed down with one palm, Chen Qing only felt a chill on his neck, he understood what Lu Xiu meant.

Chen Qing walked to one of the tables and wrote a poem with a pen in his hand. Of course, it was not his original work, but just borrowed.

As the stick of incense went out, Xu Xiantu shouted, "It's time, stop writing!"

All three of them stopped writing and stood aside.

Xu Xiantu said with a smile to everyone: "Today, everyone present will judge together. I will show the poems of the three and see who can win the championship?"

The entourage fixed the rice paper of the three people with a wooden frame and displayed it to everyone.

Zhao Wenxin wrote "Congratulations on the Birthday of Zhang Xianggong's Mansion"

The land is full of outstanding talents and loyal and good, and the auspicious mist is full of dragons and tigers.

Heaven wants to rejuvenate the gods to descend to the mountains, and the world general Jiajing Bisheng Shang.

He Geng Zaobao Plum Blossom Letter, Shoujiu first flies to the cypress leaf cup.

Smile refers to the mountain and the south into a belt, and the long eyebrows and the country are long.

This birthday poem is nominally Mrs. He, but between the lines it is flattering Zhang Jun.

I can only say that it is okay, the layout is not high.

What Shen Gai wrote was "Partridge Sky. Records of the Old Days in Zhongzhou"

At dusk Yingxiang confronts Yuhui.There are piles of palace flowers and road brocades.The sound of whips passed by the Tianjin Bridge, and the shadows of fans opened in front of Xuande Building.

Play Shun music and enter the Yao cup.Noisy cars and horses on Tianjie.The king likes to have fun with the people, and comes from all directions.

As expected of Tanhua, the writing is a bit level, it seems to be flattering the late emperor, but between the lines it is praising the present day, this flattering is full of potential for officialdom.

But this kind of behavior is a bit contemptible. This is not the birthday of the emperor. This guy is obviously taking advantage of Xiangguo's birthday to flatter the emperor. He has little respect for Zhang Xiangguo.

In comparison, they are all flattering, and Zhao Wenxin appears to be kinder than him.

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Qing's poem manuscript. Everyone's first impression was that the handwriting was very good.This handwriting alone is no worse than the first two. One must know that Shen Gai is Tanhua, and Zhao Wenxin is the seventeenth in the Jinshi Department of the previous session. They are both very talented, but Chen Qing is only a general, and his calligraphy can be compared with them.

Chen Qing wrote "Po Zhen Zi. Qin Chuan Xing", which fits his identity very well.

When drunk, he turned on the lamp to watch the sword, and dreamed back to blow the horns. Eight hundred li points burned under his command, fifty strings turned over, and the battlefield fell into the autumn.

Ma Fei's Lu Feikui, his bow like a thunderbolt. However, the monarch did things in the world and won his last name. Poor white happened!

As soon as this poem came out, the atrium was amazed immediately. The classic phrase of "the mountain is heavy and the river is full of doubts, there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright in another village" has already made everyone sigh. Now there is another impassioned army poem, which is even more impressive. The blood is surging, as if returning to the desolate northwest, where the drums are rumbling on the battlefield.

This time, Xu Xiantu was no longer polite, and he said loudly: "I propose that "Broken Time" win, and if you have any objections, please raise your hand!"

There was no sound in the atrium, no one raised their hands, even Liu Huan wanted to protect the interests of his good friend, he had nothing to say at this moment, Shen Gai was full of despair, he had no intention of staying any longer, turned around and quietly left the Zhang residence.
Shen should know that Chen Qing must have conquered Lu Xiu's heart as soon as the song "Broken" came out.
