Cao Yi sniffed lightly and glanced at the expressions of everyone. He felt like a city man was looking at the country people. After all, he had good poems and sentences for more than a thousand years and an immortal. He was like a cheating person. How could the talented man of this era compare to him?

"Traveling to West Lake, bringing tin pots, and tin pots fall off West Lake, Xihu Lake!" The third pair was written, and everyone was silent. This couplet, West Lake, tin pots and Xihu, are the same sound and rhymes of this first couplet, and are also an extremely difficult pair...

"The smoky edges and the eaves and the smoke and swallows' eyes!" After the fourth couplet was written, Cao Yi put his pen on the inkstone, with a smile on his face. Four teams of the ages are great, but they are good at choosing one, but they are a ghost. As for three and four, it is completely impossible, otherwise they would not be called the team of the ages in modern times. After all, in ancient times, not only were the level, attributes, and regular sounds and rhymes to be relatively good, but it was not so easy. Even if one of them was not matched, people would say that they were owed a job.

Another type is that all elements are one by one, and the parallelism is also neat, but if the artistic conception does not match, it will not be recognized. Therefore, Cao Yi dares to guarantee that his victory will definitely be sure to win against Chu Mingxuan, and there is no need to worry at all.

After Cao Yi finished writing and putting down his pen, everyone present was divided into two parts. One was looking at Cao Yi in shock and admiration, and the other was looking at Chu Mingxuan with sympathy and expectation. Except for Lian Xing, who is relatively the least talented, others, including Min Yue, can be said to be familiar with poetry and books and literary talent. Once Cao Yi looked at the four first couplets, you can know that these four pairs can definitely be put into the ranks of absolute eternity.

Since it is called the Ancestral Team, as the name suggests, it is produced by the ancients, and no one has ever compared it. Either the difficulty is very high or there are various strange restrictions. For example, the three couplets written by Cao Yi have various restrictions. In fact, they already know that Chu Mingxuan is unlikely to match all of these four first couplets, so everyone knows that Chu Mingxuan will definitely lose this time.

But they also hoped that Chu Mingxuan could express the second couplet in his heart. It was not that he hoped that Cao Yi would lose, but that he wanted to know what the correct second couplet should look like. It was an appreciation of the good poems and joy of seeing the hunt.

Cao Yi glanced at Chu Mingxuan, turned his head and asked, "These four pairs are probably not going to be wrong for a while. Next, should we eat and drink first? Or start directly?"

The first half of the sentence is about Xiang Zhichengxuan, Minyue and others, and the second half is about Duan Xinde to see if the lyrics are directly conducted.

"Haha, Brother Cao, you just right four second couplets and have also published four first couplets. I guess you have been thinking about it before. Since you want to compete with you, you will naturally be upright and will not take your little attention.

It's cheap, Brother Cao, you might as well eat and drink first, so that your mind can take a good rest. It's not too late for us to compete again." Duan Xinde shook off his fan, slapped him a few times, and said.

In fact, he said this, not for himself, but for Chu Mingxuan to gain more time. He had read the four first couplets just now. When asked, if it were him, he would probably not be able to do anything. Although he was not so good at pairings, he was the four great talents in Yangzhou, and his talent was still there. Compared with ordinary talented men, his ability to pairings was naturally above the horizontal line.

But even so, he chose to give up in front of these four couplets. Apart from helping Chu Mingxuan get more time now, he is powerless to do anything else. However, in terms of his ability to write lyrics, he is confident that he can win the competition with Cao An.

Although Master Chengxuan ranks first among the four great talents, if it were just writing lyrics, Duan Xinde and Master Chengxuan were actually better than Master Chengxuan, and even in the number of good lyrics, they were slightly better than Master Chengxuan. Who said that his teacher, Zhao Qisi, the Diaosuo of Huaizuo, was respected as a lyricist, and was very famous throughout the Great Yan Dynasty. Under his careful guidance, Duan Xinde's writing lyrics naturally increased. Not only did the younger generation in Yangzhou have firmly ranked first, but at least no one could surpass him.

Cao An, a third-class companion who came to Jiangning, not to mention that Master Chengxuan said he had only read for two years. No matter how strong his ability to be with his brothers, Duan Xinde did not believe that he could write lyrics more than he was immersed in his lyrics for more than ten years.

As for the fact that he had only read for two years, Duan Xinde still trusted Zhi Chengxuan very much. Although he was not very convinced that Zhi Chengxuan became the number one talent in Yangzhou, he has to say that Zhi Chengxuan has always been a person who is humble and sincere. Duan Xinde still highly recognized this point.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why Cao Yi told Master Chengxuan that he had only read for two years was because he traveled to this world and had almost two years since he asked his mother for a book. But if the time of his previous life was added, it would be far more than that. In addition, there were various Tang and Song lyrics in his mind like unbeaten cheats. Whether Duan Xinde could defeat Cao Yi was not at all because of how good Duan Xinde could write, but because Cao Yi wanted to win or lose.

At least in history, Cao Yi has never heard of Duan Xinde, which shows that he has no historical lyrics and works that have been passed down to the world, so it is not worth fearing.

Cao Yi looked at Duan Xinde with a faint smile, looking at his fat and greasy face, and complained in his heart: "As a matter of fact, fat people are also thicker in their faces. If he uses this thick-skinned person to pick up girls, plus his identity as the four talented men in Yangzhou, even if he is a little fatter, he will probably be invincible in Yangzhou. After all, there are two secrets to chasing girls, one is shameless and the other is thick-skinned.

He seems to have occupied all of them…”

"You are the four talents in Yangzhou, and you will say whatever you say." Cao Yi walked back to the dining table and sat down, but said with a chuckle.

After hearing what Cao Yi said, others knew that the lyrics and competitions were not the time being, so they took a seat. Minyue asked Lianxing to instruct the people below to serve some hot dishes, and added a charcoal basin next to it to heat it. The teacher Xuan, Cao Yi, Minyue and Gong Qizheng sat down one by one, while Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan were all standing on the side of the desk, looking at the four first couplets on the paper, concentrating and contemplating. Occasionally, the two would talk in a low voice, obviously how to match the couplets in communication.

After Cao Yi took a look, he no longer cared about them. These four immortal scholars have gathered together for thousands of years. I believe that there are many people who have conquered this topic together. It is possible to spend several days, dozens or even months, but it has never been broken.

Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan only have one hour to solve the problem. In Cao Yi's opinion, they have no such possibility at all. Maybe even one is difficult to break, let alone four.

Although the wind was a little cold at this time, under the dual heating of sunshine and charcoal, Cao Yi and others at the banquet were very happy, and the atmosphere of the party became more and more lively. Because Minyue had been back to Runzhou to visit relatives before, it took about ten days, so Master Xuan and Gong Qizheng would talk about some interesting news and important things about the past ten days in Yangzhou.

However, what Cao Yi heard was nothing more than some talented men and some talented men who were jealous of a certain courtesan in which brothel, and they wrote poems and essays to each other. Which talented men wrote some good poems in these ten days. Even teachers, Xuan and Gong Qizheng, took out the poems they had learned or focused on in the past ten days, so that Minyue and everyone present could praise them.

At this time, Duan Xinde, who was originally with Chu Mingxuan, also sat down. He had a high level of lyrics and had a high vision, so in addition to writing, he also liked to read them. Gong Qizheng and Master Chengxuan both took out the lyrics he wrote. After he recited them, he compared the advantages and disadvantages of some of the previous lyrics, and some well-written sentences would be put forward separately to appreciate two sentences.

He is honest at this point and praises him wherever he should praise him. However, the people here are all talented literati, and even Min Yue and Lian Xing are quite literary, so they can naturally tell who is better and who is not good. This is indeed the best "Butterfly Love Flower" written by the teacher. Cao Yi couldn't help but praise several of the good Qing lyrics and beautiful sentences. In this era, if there were no resentment between each other, most literati gatherings were like this, and they praised each other in a happy mood. Everyone carried the flower sedan chair, which made them famous and won the favor of others.
