Myth: Xianwu Tang Dynasty

Chapter 79: Become famous【[-]】

At the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival, with the end of the first round of preliminary selection, the second round of secondary selection also began.

The title remains the same, take [Yuan Xi] as the title and write related poems and articles.

On the high platform in the middle of the venue, the original more than 100 people had been reduced by more than half after the preliminary screening, leaving only 50 people including Bai Yusheng.

In this round, Bai Yuxian chose "Shengchazi·Yuanxi" by Ouyang Xiu of the previous Song Dynasty.

But it was slightly modified.

[On the Lantern Festival in the past years, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day;

On the willow twigs on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk;
On Yuan Ye this year, the moon and lights are still the same;
I can't see the people from my past, and the sleeves of my spring shirt are wet with tears. 】

Bai Yuxian made some slight modifications to the original text, changing the last year in the original text to the previous year.

Because this poem was originally written by Ouyang Xiu in memory of his wife.

But since Bai Yuxian is not married yet, he cannot write it according to the original text, so he changed the original last year to the past year.

In the past, it can refer to the time when his father Bai Qingfeng was still alive.

This poem has been slightly modified, so that it can be regarded as a memory of his father. If it is written like this, no one will doubt anything.

The time for choosing and writing poems for the second round is still only a few moments.

After a while, Bai Yuxian and others signed the poems they had written and handed them in one by one. They were then reviewed and evaluated in public by the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy who were present.

In the second round, 50 people were selected and the top ten were selected, and then these ten people competed in the third round.

As the poems were handed in on the stage, several Hanlin Academy bachelors present began to review them, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

Even the people watching the excitement outside the venue felt inexplicably nervous.

In just over a moment, the Hanlin Academy bachelors present selected ten articles based on their review, and then the public announcer read out the names one by one and announced them to the public.

"Bai Yuxian, "Shengchazi·Yuanxi"."

The first name that came to mind was Bai Yuxian.

pass.

On the stage, Bai Yuxian felt relieved when he heard his name, although as a copywriter Bai Yuxian was more confident.

But confidence is one thing, and facts are another. After all, who knows whether it will be an upset.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

"On the night of the Lantern Festival in the past, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day; in the moonlit willow branches, people made appointments after dusk."

Then the public procurator read out "Sheng Cha Zi·Yuan Xi" written by Bai Yuxian in public.

"good words!"

Outside the venue, Li Bai couldn't help but brighten up again when he heard the public announcer finish reading "Shengchazi·Yuanxi", and he couldn't help but cheered.

"Brother Bai, this word will surely make you famous."

There was also a round of applause around the entire venue.

When everyone on the stage heard these words, they were convinced of Bai Yuxian's promotion. Some people who knew Bai Yuxian spoke directly.

"Brother Bai is so talented, I am convinced."

"Congratulations to Brother Bai, such a good word will be passed down to future generations."

Even on the tower, Emperor Li Longji couldn't help but look sideways and asked beside him.

"Who is the White Jade Immortal below?"

"Your Majesty, the person in white on the far left in the third row on the stage below is Bai Yuxian."

The attendant beside Li Longji said quickly.

Li Longji's eyes immediately followed the sound, and he saw a young man in white clothes, humble as jade, and as handsome as an immortal appearing in his sight.

When he saw the young man's appearance and bearing, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he praised him.

"What a young man. As the saying goes, a gentleman is like jade. Today I really saw him."

The other civil and military ministers around him couldn't help but feel slightly shaken after hearing Li Longji's words, and looked at the handsome young man on the stage below with more attention.

Because they knew that the young man below had completely fallen into the eyes of the emperor.

What an honor.

Based on the emperor's words today, if the young man below becomes an official in the future, it will be much smoother, especially if he has the opportunity to appear in front of the emperor again. With today's impression, the young man below will have to go less easily. detour.

However, after seeing the specific appearance of the young man, the civil and military officials present could not help but sigh. This young man is indeed outstanding and amazing. Whether it is temperament or appearance, he is as humble as jade and as handsome as an immortal.

Bai Zheng, who was present, was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself when he heard the emperor's words.At the same time, there was an old man in the military attaché camp who had slightly complicated thoughts, because the old man was Nangong Yuntian.

Beside Emperor Li Longji, the beautiful woman in palace attire could not help but look curiously at the young man in white below.

But that's it.

"Cui Zongzhi, "Shangyuan Night Part [-]"."

On the stage, the public announcer continued to read about the places that passed the second round of selection.

After Bai Yuxian is Cui Zongzhi.

Cui Zongzhi.

Bai Yuxian looked at a handsome young man on the stage who was second only to him in appearance and bearing.

This man is none other than Cui Zongzhi, who is also a famous figure in the capital of the Tang Dynasty. He is also the son of Cui Riyong, the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

And if Bai Yuxian remembered correctly, in the parallel time and space of the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, Cui Zongzhi was Li Bai's good friend. He was one of the "Eight Immortals in Drinking" and a famous handsome man. Du Fu called him "Zongzhi's chic" The beautiful young man raised his glass and looked at the blue sky with his white eyes, which was as bright as a jade tree before the wind. '

Looking at it now, Cui Zongzhi's appearance is indeed top-notch. It is no exaggeration to say that Yushu Linfeng is in the wind. If the person on the court who can stabilize Cui Zongzhi in terms of appearance is Bai Yuxian himself.

Soon, the second round of selection ended, and the ten promoted people, including Bai Yuxian and Cui Zongzhi, were selected.

Unfortunately, Wang Yanlin and Song Xiuwen, who had the best relationship with Bai Yuxian, were eliminated.

However, the two of them are not depressed. Today's forum can be said to have gathered a group of the top young talents in Chang'an. Who is not a talented person? In their opinion, as long as they can pass the first round of preliminary selection, then Just success.

Now that he has been eliminated in the second round, it is a pity, but it is not a shame.

"Brother Bai, I'm waiting for your good news in the audience."

The two of them bowed their hands to Bai Yuxian before stepping off the stage.

Now among their three friends, Bai Yuxian is the only one left. Naturally, the two of them hope that Bai Yuxian can become famous in one fell swoop.

"it is good."

Bai Yuxian also smiled at the two of them.

As the second round of selection came to an end, only the last ten people including Bai Yuxian and Cui Zongzhi were left on the field.

The third round of final selection also begins.

Bai Yuxian also took out his bottom box preparations.

Looking at the ancient and modern poems of Bai Yuxian's current and previous lives, there are many poems about Yuanxi, but if it is to be said that this poem is the best and most famous, I am afraid most people will recognize it.

[At night, the east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees, and they blow down, and the stars are like rain; BMW carvings and cars fill the road with fragrance, the phoenix and flute sound, the jade pot turns with light, and fish and dragons dance all night long]

Bai Yuxian slowly put pen to paper and wrote the final words.

At the same time, the news that Bai Yuxian passed the second round of selection and entered the final competition of the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival also spread back to the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion.

“On the Lantern Festival in the past, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day;

On the willow twigs on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk;
On Yuan Ye this year, the moon and lights are still the same;
I can't see the people from my past, and the sleeves of my spring shirt are wet with tears. "

Han Shiyin happily read the second new poem written by Bai Yuxian at the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival that the boy had copied. She felt that the more she read, the more beautiful it became, and she felt an indescribable sadness.

Who is the person from the past written in the poem "Brother Yuxian"?

In the past, it must have been many years ago. Brother Yuxian must have been very young at that time.

In this case, people from the past.

The poem "Brother Yuxian" should be written about uncle.

Han Shiyin thought to herself.

"The word "Brother Yuxian" is so well written and beautiful."

Bai Xue couldn't help but said, and Bai Qian, Bai Xue, Bai Yue, Bai Lan, Bai Feifeng and the other maids nearby also nodded in agreement.

This kind of good poetry, even if you have no talent, will still give you an indescribable feeling of resonance when you read it.

Bai Yusheng was biting his lips tightly, feeling extremely dissatisfied. He thought that if I hadn't been able to participate in this New Year's Eve poetry event, I would definitely not be worse than Bai Yuxian, or even more outstanding.

Mrs. Wang also felt aggrieved for a while. She originally wanted to praise Bai Yuxian because Bai Yuxian was disheartened at the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival, but she was promoted all the way.

Mrs. Bai also had some complicated thoughts.

Although rationality told her that Bai Yuxian was also a descendant of their Bai family, and that Bai Yuxian being so outstanding would be a good thing for the entire Bai family of Wuhou Mansion.

But emotionally, Mrs. Bai is never happy, because the one she loves most in her heart is Bai Yusheng, and Bai Yusheng is only a collateral descendant. If he rises completely, how will their family deal with it? Threatening the status of their master's family has always been a thorn in the heart of Mrs. Bai.
