Chapter 325 Salt Gang and Cao Gang
"Actually, I have an objection, but you don't listen!" Cao Yi howled in his heart at this moment, but he was also the kind of person who said no but was very honest. Seeing that as long as he wins the people present, he will unify the conditions for opening and welcome guests, he already told himself that this competition must be won, and it must be clear and neat, after all, it can bring the most direct publicity effect to Zuixianlou.
After hearing Mr. Chen's words, the others nodded one after another, and Wang Honghua expressed his eagerness to try. Although he knew that Cao Yi's talent was much higher than that of him, he had nothing to do. He would not give up easily until the result was completely settled. Even because he was competing with Cao Yi, the madman mentality he had only when he was young was back, and his passion was still there!
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Mr. Chen, Mr. Wen and Diaosou were whispering. As Su Lao, the three of them sat with Fei Haomiao, the master, and sat together. Next were Lu Xiaofeng and Wang Honghua, followed by Cao Yi, Master Chengxuan, Gong Qizheng, Duan Xinde and Yu Youwei and others accompanied the last seat.
After discussing for a while, Diao Suo first coughed a few times, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "The original intention of today's party was to welcome his junior brother and sister, and to gather us together and get to know each other. However, because of Cao Yi, we can drink such delicious green lotus wine today... So we use the wine as the theme, you can play it yourself..."
"Wine?" Everyone murmured to themselves. After all, they were very familiar with this word, whether it was "singing during the day, you must keep wine, and you should be a companion for youth to return home", or "I advise you to have a glass of wine, and you will have no friends when you go west to Yangguan", or "I have wine today and get drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad", or even "Li Bai's hundred poems about wine fighting... I claim to be a fairy in the wine!", many great writers and poets have written wine into their poems.
Throughout the ages, wine has not only been the favorite of literati and poets. From emperors, generals and ministers to ordinary people, they all love wine. Wine is used to worship ghosts and gods in heaven and earth, wine is used to worship ancestors, wine is used to celebrate the harvest and victory, wine is used to entertain friends and guests. After drinking, literati and poets are more likely to be excited about poetry because wine can make people excited, have active thinking and rich imagination.
Wine has always been an indispensable thing in the daily life and creation process of ancient poets. It has a youthful and vigorous spirit to a young man who is desperate to a long time ago, from the deep palace of the temple with majestic order to the simple and dilapidated wine shops... from the old friends who have been reunited for a long time to meet each other, from the joy of drinking to the cold and lonely drinking.
A cup of wine, whether clear or mellow, can ferment the feelings and feelings that literati and poets put in the lines between the lines, making the joy more and the sadness more.
The sadness makes the sorrow even more sorrowful... There is wine in the poem, and there is poetry in the wine. The author is drunk, and the reciter is drunk, and the poem is traveling through the world of poetry.
Cao Yi looked at everyone there, either lowering his head to ponder or closing his eyes to ponder, and they were preparing lyrics with the title "Wine". Although he had been looking around at everyone's reaction, his mind was also turning around at a high speed to check if there were any words that describe wine that were suitable for use now. If you want to win over the five talented people on the scene, you naturally should not be too bad.
When Cao Yi looked around, he didn't know that Duke Chen, Duke Wen, Diao Sou, and even his senior brother Fei Haomiao were always observing and paying attention to his every move. The main reason was that Cao Yi had a very good reputation before. The deeds of a cup of tea and three good poems written by Duke Lu to Diao Sou shocked everyone, so they all wanted to see how amazing Cao Yi was, and whether it was as Lu Gong said. Cao Yi usually had no intention of writing lyrics, and did not even take it seriously, and rarely did it... But if someone forced him to write, the lyrics he could just write were better than those that others had been lyrics for two or three years.
Yu Youwei was also looking at Cao Yi with affection at this moment. She was very confident in Cao Yi. At least in the poem, there was no one that Cao Yi could not defeat. At least in the younger generation of this era, this is true. There are no people in the country where talents gather in Beijing, and now there is no one who is better than Cao Yi's works, so Yu Youwei is not worried about Cao Yi's current lyrics competition.
Fei Haomiao had already asked his servants to bring two chapters of tables beside the banquet and put four treasures of the study so that these talents could write their works.
Cao Yi had already decided to write what words to write later, so he focused on looking at the expressions of the people. The reason why he didn't write them in advance was to see how the words he wrote were as good as the words he wrote later to ensure that he could win the words "copy" after waiting for them, otherwise he would end up in a situation where he could not even copy them, which would be really ridiculous.
After watching for a while, everyone was still in deep thought. Cao Yi felt bored, so he began to pick up the chopsticks and swept the clouds in the wind, and let Yu Youwei, who was beside him join in. This action made the three old men and Fei Haomiao stunned.
"Master... Junior brother, are you going to give up?" Fei Haomiao hesitated for a moment and asked.
"No? Why did senior brother say this..."
"Uh... Why don't my junior brother think carefully about it and write lyrics..." Before Fei Haomiao finished speaking, he was shocked by Cao Yi's words and forgot to say it.
"I have already figured it out... I plan to finish eating and drinking, and wait until several older brothers write it out before writing it."
"Okay... OK!" Fei Haomiao asked a question subconsciously. Even the three Su Laos looked at Cao Yi with a look of surprise. Could it be too fast?
Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Honghua and others, who were still thinking, raised their heads and looked at Cao Yi unconsciously, with a half-believing and half-doubted attitude. They knew that Cao Yi was very talented, but how long has it been since Diao Suo asked the question? He has not had a cup of tea. Cao Yi actually said that he had already conceived the good words, this...
If they knew that Cao Yi had been in Jiangning before, he would have been less than a cup of tea, and he would have thoughts about writing three poems: "Jiangchengzi", "Yongyule" and "Linjiangxian".
"Really?" Diao Suo asked, he was still incredible about the speed and talent of the three words Lu Gongxin said, so he asked in a questioning tone.
Cao Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, I have really thought about it, and there is more than one song. But I have to make sure that my lyrics can win in this competition, so if you want to write the last one, read the lyrics of your brothers first, and then decide which lyrics to write them out."
"..." Not only Diao Suo, but even Duke Chen and Duke Wen looked at Cao Yi with speechless expressions. If Cao Yi hadn't been his junior brother and the newly-accepted disciple of the teacher, Fei Haomiao would have wanted to come forward to blame Cao Yi for his arrogance and illusion. He had seen bragging, but never seen such bragging...
According to Cao Yi, wouldn’t he have thought at least two poems now, and even three or four poems, and then look at the other talents who were thinking hard... The three Su Laos looked at each other, as if they were also thinking, could their disciples suffer such a blow?
Only Diao Su's eyes lit up, and he looked at Duan Xinde who was still closing his eyes and pondering, and showed a knowing smile on his face. His disciple was usually very arrogant, and he always felt that he was so outstanding that he looked down on people with lower talents than him. Now that such a ready-made example appears in front of him, Diao Su thought of using Cao Yi's talent to severely attack his disciple's arrogant mentality, to destroy his arrogance and pride, and to make his temperament more restrained and sleek.
As for whether other people will be depressed because of the heavy blow, it is not something he needs to consider. After all, he only needs to manage his disciples well, and others will naturally have other teachers to take responsibility.
Thinking of this, Diao Suo smiled and said with a look of anticipation on his face, "Boy Cao Yi, who doesn't know if you are talking big? Or if you say you have thought of more than one song, it means that at least two songs are not. We don't care whether you are three songs, four songs or five songs. Anyway, there are two songs, then you can choose one of the worst quality songs, write them first, and then write them the best quality song. Let's compare them with the poor quality words... If there are any of them that are better than yours, then compare them with your good words. How about it?"
