Chapter 289 Cao Yi was arrested
"Since Chu Mingxuan, you are anxious to lose, I will reluctantly agree to you. Miss Mingyue, please make the questions." Cao Yi first mocked Chu Mingxuan, then nodded to Mingyue and asked her to make the questions.
Min Yue looked at Duan Xinde and wanted to ask if he could start. Duan Xinde nodded. Lianxing began to divide the pen, ink, paper and inkstone into two parts, spread them on the table table for the two to write.
Except for Chu Mingxuan and Duan Xinde who participated in the competition, the others were full of expectations for Cao Yi's subsequent lyrics. Min Yue and Lian Xing knew Cao Yi's identity. They had written poems and lyrics that had been passed down to Yangzhou before and had not seen them personally, so they were naturally full of expectations for the first time that the number one talented man in Jiangning wrote lyrics in front of them.
Teacher Xuan and Gong Qizheng vaguely felt that "Cao An" was a powerful person, otherwise they would not have praised Haikou before and never did things that were unsure. Although he had said before that his son Cao Yi was written by his son Cao Yi, since he dared to participate in the lyrics competition and had Mu Yue set the questions on the spot, he must have the power to fight Duan Xinde.
They have long been aware of Duan Xinde's lyrics, so they can roughly estimate what level they will be after writing it. Unless they are good words, they will be slightly better than them. But Cao An is different. At least so far, he is still very mysterious. No matter how he speaks and acts, he dares to fight against the four talents of Yangzhou with one or two, he doesn't look like a third-class student. They just keep this in their hearts and do not say it out.
After Lianxing prepared all the pens, ink, paper and inkstones, everyone looked at Minyue and waited for her to come up with the question.
At this time, Minyue raised her head and pondered slightly, thinking about what topics were good, and reviewed the lyrics written by Cao Yi and Duan Xinde in her mind. Cao Yi has passed on a lot, as if there are any themes, including the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double Ninth Festival, and the women's thoughts. After coming to Yangzhou yesterday, he also heard that he wrote three new poems, one of which was "Yongyu Le" heard on the boat, and the rest are "Jiangchengzi" and "Linjiangxian"...
Minyue's thoughts changed sharply. From this point of view, it seems that Cao Yi's lyrics depict the Yangtze River the most. In her opinion, Cao Yi has written two lyrics about the Yangtze River, "Yongyule" and "Linjiangxian", and she also heard him chant "Nanxiangzi" on the boat. From a quality perspective, these three capitals can be called nouns throughout the ages. No matter how powerful a person is, he should not write one thing in a row, so she made up her mind to the next competition with the title "Yangtze River". Whether it is chanting the scenery or noting the past, as long as it involves the Yangtze River, it is fine.
Everything can be done, and Cao Yi has already had three poems in a row. The probability of the fourth poem with the title of Yangtze River or a noun that has passed through the ages will be very low. In Min Yue's heart, Cao Yi's ability to write lyrics is actually higher than Duan Xinde. If you use other things as the title, according to normal, Duan Xinde's probability of winning is very low. If you use the title of Yangtze River, his chances will be greater.
Min Yue glanced at Duan Xinde and Cao Yi, and thought to herself: "Mr. Duan, I can only help you get here... But Mr. Cao, I just want to make the competition evenly match, don't blame me..."
Under the gaze of everyone, Minyue smiled and opened her cherry lips: "I just returned from my hometown Runzhou to visit relatives. Runzhou Xiong Town, Yangtze River, and I returned to Yangzhou through the Yangtze River water transportation. Therefore, this lyrics competition will be based on the Yangtze River. You can just chant the scenery or be nostalgic about the past and make your ambitions."
"Yangtze River..." Master Xuan
I read it softly, looking thoughtful.
Cao Yi and Duan Xinde both showed a smile on their faces. Duan Xinde looked at Min Yue with a "everyone understood" expression. His heart was the same as what Min Yue thought just now. He had known before that two poems about the Yangtze River passed by Cao Yi, the owner of "Cao An", and no matter what, the third poem could not be so good, otherwise it would have been passed by. So Duan Xinde now feels even more foolproof about defeating "Cao An".
The reason why Cao Yi smiled on his face was because he had a song "Nian Nujiao: The Ancients of Chibi" that he had never used before. This time, as long as he smashed this poem, he would defeat Duan Xinde, even the four talents in Yangzhou competed with him, and would be ruthlessly crushed and destroyed. It was because even if this poem was compared in the thousand-year literary world, it was still the top ones, and its peerless charm and magnificent talent were enough to travel across the ages.
After Minyue finished speaking, Duan Xinde and Cao Yi made two completely different measures. Duan Xinde walked to the table, placed the folding fan aside, carried a brush in his hand, closed his eyes and pondered, obviously thinking about how to write lyrics. However, Cao Yi went the other way and returned to the table... and started to eat and drink.
"What? Cao An, are you planning to give up? If you plan to give up, just say it earlier and don't waste everyone's time." Chu Mingxuan himself has always hated Cao Yi, so when he saw Cao Yi's actions, he naturally started to mock him.
"Don't worry, the result will only be you losing, not me. I just polite Duan Xinde and asked him to write first. I'm afraid that if I write it now, he will be too stressed after he sees it, so he dare not start writing." Cao Yi didn't even look at Chu Mingxuan, picked up a chopstick dish, and said vaguely while chewing, with an extremely casual attitude, and even a little disdainful.
Chu Mingxuan was speechless for a moment, and then said angrily: "You are just a third-class young boy. Do you know what poetry, lyrics and essays mean? I think you don't even understand the Thousand Characters thoroughly. How about it... Do you want me to ask someone to find a connection to send you to a good private school and re-enroll it? Hahahahahaha!" At the end of his speech, he actually started to laugh wildly.
Cao Yi turned his head and looked at Chu Mingxuan, snorted coldly with extreme contempt, stretched out his hands at Chu Mingxuan, stretched out four fingers with one hand, clenched his fists with the other, and chuckled slightly. The meaning was self-evident, four to zero, I, Cao Yi, came up with four lower couplets, and you, Chu Mingxuan, have not one, you are still embarrassed to bark here.
Chu Mingxuan was immediately angry and his face turned red, and he roared: "You are a cheating third-class little book boy, what qualifications do you have to show off?"
Cao Yi still didn't say anything, but smiled and made a four-to-zero gesture at him, raising his chin and staring at him.
Chu Mingxuan originally stretched out and pointed at Cao Yi's hand and swung it hard, and wanted to rush forward. He was quickly pulled by the teacher Xuan who was waiting on the side to prevent the conflict from escalating, and attached it to his ear and whispered: "Brother Chu, calm down, this is Huamanlou, fights are prohibited... And even if you do it now, you can see Cao An breaking the chopsticks just now. If you really want to do it, Brother Chu, you can't beat him... Be careful!"
If the first half of the sentence of Master Chengxuan suppressed Chu Mingxuan's anger and restored his rationality, then the second half of the sentence made Chu Mingxuan's heart become cold. This... it was really... he hit people.
Chu Mingxuan simply stopped looking at Cao Yi, turned his head to look at Duan Xinde who was still closing his eyes and pondering. Now all hope is on the latter. If Duan Xinde can perform better, write a good lyric, then
Then all the venue will be found. Chu Mingxuan will definitely humiliate "Cao An" well and let him parade in Yangzhou city naked, and put a banner on his back to indicate that he was Chu Mingxuan's defeated general!
At this time, Minyue sat back on the banquet, looked at Cao Yi sideways, and asked, "Mr. Cao, are you really going to wait until Mr. Duan finishes writing?"
"Well, a gentleman's word is as good as a master. I am not like some people who have no faith in their words. How can a real man go back on his word!" Cao Yi nodded and said lightly.
"..." Min Yue suddenly felt that she had done something unpleasant.
Sure enough, Chu Mingxuan turned his head and glared at Cao Yi. Duan Xinde, who had been thinking about him before, opened his eyes and stared at Cao Yi for a few moments. Cao Yi's words were slapped in the face naked, but Duan Xinde was at the critical stage of contemplation and didn't say much. After watching for a while, he continued to close his eyes and think.
Minyue looked at Cao Yi with a wry smile. The person in front of her who is sometimes humble, sometimes elegant, sometimes domineering, and sometimes arrogant is really unpredictable, but she always does something astonishing and regretful as a worldly and worldly thing. She just doesn't know if this side is the arrogance and true style that Jiangning's number one talent should have.
Cao Yi was still eating and drinking without caring about Duan Xinde. If he said he wasn't thinking at the moment, he was also thinking, but he didn't spend time thinking about how to write the lyrics about Changjiang. What he was thinking about was what Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan should do after winning. After all, this was the bet that was the bet he had in the previous competition, so he had to make good use of it.
Cao Yi was still thinking, while Duan Xinde opened his eyes with joy on his face, dipped his brush on the ink and began to write. Others, including Min Yue, stretched their necks to pay attention to what Duan Xinde was writing. Chu Mingxuan walked straight to Duan Xinde, and while watching, he whispered silently. The expression on his face changed from expectation from the beginning. Just looking at the expression, you know that he was very acknowledging and satisfied with the poem written by Duan Xinde.
At this time, Xinde had already written it. He put his pen on the inkstone, looked at the words he wrote, read them from beginning to end, nodded unconsciously, and showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He secretly made up his mind whether he was forced by that "Cao An" this time, and the time, place and people were in line with each other, so he had this state to write such a good poem. He realized that this was a masterpiece that had been passed down for decades. If he was shown to the teacher, he would have to praise him...
Teacher Chengxuan, Gong Qizheng and Min Yue looked at the expressions on Duan Xinde's face and knew that he had written a poem that he was satisfied with, which must be at least a middle-aged or even the best. Now in Yangzhou City, if you want to say that the most famous and strongest poets among the younger generation are basically in this yard. Whether it is Gong Qizheng, Chu Mingxuan, Master Chengxuan or Duan Xinde, they are all poets who have already accumulated a huge reputation.
But if the most powerful one is Duan Xinde. He has talent and is guided by the Diaosuo of Huai Zuo, the level of lyrics will naturally become higher and higher, allowing him to take the lead among the younger generation in Yangzhou. If he performed very well this time, then he would definitely be a masterpiece.
Chu Mingxuan, who was beside him, picked up the lyrics written by Duan Xinde, and first looked at Cao Yi proudly, but found that Cao Yi was not looking at him at all. He suddenly felt like he was hitting the air with a punch. He said a few words in his heart, "Hmph, see what you can be proud of, you will cry later." Then he went to the stuffyness in his chest, looked at the words on the paper, and recited aloud.
Chapter completed!
