As soon as this man proposed to compose poetry, Xu Xian knew that they were targeting Huang Shaohong.
Xu Xian was quite helpless. He remembered that when they were studying together in the school, these people had a very good attitude towards Huang Shaohong, so good that it could even be described as fawning.
Otherwise, Xu Xian would not be able to invite these people to swim in the lake together. It would be uncomfortable for people who don't like each other to go out together!
Unexpectedly, when the former friends met again, their attitude towards Huang Shaohong would become so bad.
In fact, Xu Xian is still naive. He has never thought about what Huang Shaohong's identity was before and what it is like now.
When they were in school, Huang Shaohong's father was still a court official, so naturally these people were eager to fawn over him.
But now times have changed, things have changed, the Huang family has declined, and Huang Shaohong no longer has the support of his father. In the eyes of these former classmates, the Huang family is just a poor family, so there is no need to fawn over them.
The reality is this. When you are prosperous, those who rush to please you are often the first to distance themselves from you when you are down. What's more, they turn around and step on you.
It's also possible.
This is the attitude of the people in front of me towards Huang Shaohong.
Xu Xian didn't understand the meaning of it, but he was not a fool. He was a teacher. He had seen a lot of the little naughty things among students, and it was the same with these former classmates.
When they were studying together in the past, Huang Shaohong's poetry writing ability was not good enough. Now this person brought it up, so what if it wasn't aimed at him.
Xu Xian immediately opened his mouth to persuade the person who made the suggestion:
"There's no need to write poetry..."
Xu Xian originally wanted to be a peacemaker, but the proposer interrupted with a smile:
"Alas...this sentence in Chinese is too bad. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I think all my classmates have improved their knowledge. I got excited about visiting the lake today. I just want to use the scenery to write a poem for everyone to comment on."
Wenxuan, who was Lord Rabbit in his previous life, nodded in agreement: "That's right, but what's the point of us just composing poems on the spot? When we were in school, didn't Huang Shaohong love to win a lottery the most? Today we will play the lottery game.
How about it?"
Huang Shaohong glanced at him with a smile, and said in agreement: "Okay, what kind of lottery, how to play, you just draw the path!"
"Shaohong, why are you..." Xu Xian was so worried, couldn't you tell that they were targeting you?
Huang Shaohong waved his hand: "Don't worry Hanwen, it'll be okay!"
Seeing his indifferent expression, Xu Xian could only sigh in his heart, hoping that Wenxuan and the others wouldn't make too much trouble.
At the same time, Xu Hanwen also made a decision in his heart. If they made Shaohong too embarrassed, the worst they could do was break up and ask the boatman to dock directly, and never interact with these villains again.
Xu Xian was anxious, but he didn't know that what he saw as trouble was, in the eyes of the person involved, Huang Shaohong, just a diversion.
At this time, he was in the same state of mind as Tathagata Buddha when he met the Monkey King: "No matter how much you monkeys jump around, you can still jump out of my hand!"
So he was happy to see these people acting pretentious, and he just said: "Please start your performance quickly, I can't wait!"
When Na Wenxuan heard Huang Shaohong asking about the lottery, a hint of success flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly:
"Let's do this. Let's compose a poem based on today's trip to the lake or the current scene. We will criticize each other and choose the worst one. Then we can jump off the boat into the lake and swim back by ourselves!"
Xu Xian's expression changed and he couldn't even say no!
Na Wenxuan waved his hand and said: "We have been classmates for many years, and we know everything about it. If we all use water, there will be no danger. At the worst, let the boatman throw a wooden board down, that's all!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to Huang Shaohong and smiled sinisterly:
"Shaohong, you were very courageous back then, wouldn't you? Of course, if you admit that you are a waste and a coward, then you can just recite a poem by the predecessors. After all, we cannot force a waste to compose poetry.
, you say so!"
These words are already blatantly targeted.
The woman in white and the girl Xiaoqing in the cabin heard clearly what was happening outside. The latter even opened the window a little to see how Huang Shaohong would respond.
When Xu Xian heard that Wenxuan was targeting his friend like this, he jumped up, stood up with a red face, and said, "Okay, I'll go first!"
After he finished speaking, he directly recited a song called "Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake" by the former Bai Juyi.
"To the north of Gushan Temple and to the west of Jia Pavilion, the water surface is flat at first and the clouds are low at the feet."
"A few early orioles are vying for warmth in the trees, while the new swallows are pecking at the spring mud."
"The wild flowers are becoming more and more charming, and only in Asakusa can there be no horseshoes."
"My favorite lake is the east side of the lake, the white sand embankment in the shade of green poplar trees."
This poem "Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake" is suitable for the occasion, but when the poem is read, the expressions of the people on the boat are different.
After Xu Xian finished reading, he said loudly: "I am a useless coward. I am afraid that I will swim back, so I have to use the poems of my predecessors instead. My classmates are laughing!"
After saying that, he sat down with his face flushed.
In the cabin, the woman in white nodded slowly, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and said: "This young master is a benevolent and righteous person!"
Xiao Qing curled her lips and said, "Isn't he stupid?"
Outside the cabin, the rabbit man Wenxuan looked at Xu Xian with some irritation.
He just wanted to use his words to irritate Huang Shaohong. Thinking that in front of so many people and there was a flowery woman in the bed cabin, the other party couldn't think of himself as a good-for-nothing coward.
But he didn't expect Xu Xian to stand up and admit it to himself first. This would give Huang Shaohong a step down. After all, there were people who had done it before him. It was no big deal if he chose to use the poems of his predecessors instead.
When Xu Xian saw Wenxuan looking towards him, he looked at him without any sign of weakness. The latter snorted coldly and turned to Huang Shaohong and said: "Shaohong, you didn't admit defeat in anything back then. You didn't know how to learn Chinese.
Waste, right?"
Xu Xian quickly turned around and persuaded: "Shaohong..."
Huang Shaohong gave Xu Xian a grateful look, waved his hand to calm him down, and then nodded: "Of course not, it's just a game, it's not waste, so just follow what you said, let's get started!"
"Hey, Shaohong, what are you doing..." Xu Xian hurriedly whispered: "Shaohong, even if you can write good poems, there is no fairness in judging them..."
Huang Shaohong also whispered: "Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss!"
Seeing the two of them talking in low voices, Wenxuan was afraid that Huang Shaohong would regret it, so he immediately stood up from his seat and said:
"Since this is the game I proposed, I'll do it first!"
This Wenxuan was a little impromptu, and after shaking his head, he suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes..."
"The boat crossed the Broken Bridge to the West Lake,
It’s hard to write a book about the clear water and strange peaks.
Let’s take in the colors of the lakes and mountains.
There is nothing ordinary about being in the same boat."
When Wenxuan, the rabbit boy, said the last sentence, "Together in the same boat, there is no ordinary world," he made a circle with his hand, including the other two classmates and the attic cabin where Xiaoqing was.
While composing the poem, he praised these people by the way, but left out Huang Shaohong and Xu Xian.
Obviously this person is petty-minded. What Xu Xian just said has already been resented by him, and he has treated him like a mortal like Huang Shaohong!
The other two scholars clapped their hands and looked at Huang Shaohong and Xu Xian with smiles.
Huang Shaohong was amused. Just this doggerel, how could it be so good?
He turned towards the lake and spat: "Bah, what the hell!"
After speaking, he smiled at several people and said, "Sorry, there was a flying insect in my mouth!"
Wenxuan and the other three looked ugly, while the woman in white and Xiaoqing in the cabin were hiding their mouths and laughing at the same time.
Xiao Qing said: "This person is quite interesting, but the poems written by Lord Rabbit are indeed too bad!"
When the woman in white saw Xiao Qing's face, she couldn't help but shook her head and smiled: "Xiao Qing, you are so amazing. You can tell the quality of a poem without even knowing the words!"
Xiaoqing, who was pretending to be pretentious, broke through instantly and said in disbelief: "Oh sister, who said that if you can't read, you can't understand poetry!"
"Then you compose a song and let me listen to it!"
Xiao Qing rolled her eyes and pointed outside: "Look, they are writing poetry again!"
Next, the two scholars also stood up and wrote a poem each. Although it was not a good poem, it was still neat and not too bad.
As a result, everyone's eyes fell on Huang Shaohong to see how he responded with poetry.
Wenxuan and the other three looked at each other with evil intentions. They even fantasized about a scene in which Huang Shaohong fell into the water and they laughed at each other on the boat, adding insult to injury.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from Huang Shaohong.
Next to Wenxuan, the scholar who proposed to compose a poem stepped forward to say hello, but suddenly he heard a "huh..." and snoring came out of Huang Shaohong's nose.
This guy actually fell asleep with his eyes open!
In the cabin, Xiao Qing laughed so hard that his stomach ached. He said that this scholar was so interesting, and the woman in white couldn't help but smile.
Xu Xian quickly said: "Since Shaohong is asleep, let's forget it and let the boatman serve the food. Let's all have a good drink and talk!"
Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and said: "This is not possible, we agreed in advance!"
Suddenly Huang Shaohong breathed out: "Who should write the poem?"
Wenxuan was funny and angry and said: "Huang Shaohong, you snore with your eyes open, don't you want to be a cheat?"
