Chapter 54 Self-disgrace?
Qin Yi wanted to humiliate himself, but Shi Xinji didn't want it, "In that case, let's get started. There must be a flowery character in every poem, and I will be the first."
After that, he looked outside the hall, where there was a patch of apricot trees, and said, "The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty."
Next to him, a young man in brocade clothes said, "The moon melts in the pear blossom courtyard, and there is a gentle breeze in the catkin pond."
The game of Fei Hua Ling was to compete with who could remember more poems and essays with flower characters. There was no need to create their own, and most of the people present were scribes, so it went very quickly. It was Qin Yi's turn soon.
Shi Xinji stared at Qin Yi closely, with a hint of hope in his eyes.
He hoped that Qin Yi wouldn't survive the first round so that Xuan Lingyao could see his embarrassing side.
The same goes for everyone, who all looked at Qin Yi with bright eyes and a joking look on their faces.
Qin Yi didn't waste any time and immediately said, "On this day last year, in this door, the faces of the people and the peach blossoms reflected each other's red."
After saying that, he raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, and turned to look at Xuan Lingyao.
Everyone couldn't help but be disappointed that this guy actually answered.
It's probably just a fluke. He will definitely be eliminated in the next round!
Shi Xinji in the hall was not only disappointed but also angry. This guy just recited poems, so why did he look at Xuan Lingyao?
Isn't he specifically using this to praise Ling Yao?
Seeing Xuan Lingyao's head hanging slightly, as if she was shy, Shi Xinji became more and more annoyed and gritted his back molars.
Meng Wenlun's expression on the side was dull, and he didn't have much idea about Qin Yi's answer. But vaguely, he found Shi Xinji looking at Qin Yi repeatedly with an angry expression on his face, and he was a little surprised.
It wasn't until he saw Xuan Lingyao next to Qin Yi that he suddenly understood.
As a result, Meng Wenlun also felt unhappy with Qin Yi.
After Qin Yi finished speaking, it was the turn of a young man in brocade clothes in the distance. He frowned and thought hard, and when the time was about to come, he read out a poem.
At this time, Qin Yizheng was secretly laughing.
He discovered that even someone as cold as Xuan Lingyao would still be shy.
When he looked at her, Xuan Lingyao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, her pretty face blushed slightly, and then raised her head after a moment, lightly pursed her red lips, pretending that nothing happened.
This little change looks extremely interesting and beautiful.
Then came the second round. After all the poems that everyone had remembered were read out, three people couldn't answer the questions and were eliminated.
When it was Qin Yi's turn, everyone was convinced that Qin Yi would be eliminated this round.
Even other scribes are inevitably out of the game. How could Qin Yi, a strategist, remember so many poems with fancy characters if he doesn't read poetry?
Indeed, as they thought, Qin Yi did not remember many poems with flowery characters in his mind, but he had a system.
He had already used the system's prompt function at the beginning.
Not only did he ask about relevant poems and articles, but in order to avoid making mistakes, he also specifically asked about this world, not past lives.
After spending 600 exclamation points, all the poems with flowery characters in the world have been revealed by the system, and he can call them at any time within a day.
It was also at this time that he discovered that some poems from his previous life also existed in this world, and they seemed to overlap.
Turning to look at Xuan Lingyao, Qin Yi whispered, "It's hard to say goodbye when we meet. The east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered."
Everyone was disappointed again. Qin Yi was so lucky that he survived another round.
At this moment, Shi Xinji's lips were pursed tightly, and a trace of anger arose in his heart.
I don’t want to read any poems, but love poems!
Still looking at Xuan Lingyao, what do you mean?
Do you have a stiff neck and have to look to the right when reading poetry?
After this first experience, Xuan Lingyao was not too surprised, but she didn't dare to look at Qin Yi. She looked at the table with her beautiful eyes, gently stretched out her white catkins, picked up the scattered black hair on her temples, and pinched
Behind the crystal soft ears.
After the second round, half of the people in the hall who participated in the Flying Flower Order have been eliminated.
With the remaining half, the third round began.
Xu Shi was angered by Qin Yi's two actions. When Shi Xinji read the poem, he gritted his teeth. It was surprising. He didn't know the reason.
When it was Qin Yi's turn, four more people were eliminated from the front. By this time, no one had much expectations anymore.
A mere strategist in Qin Yi managed to survive until the third round. Even if he was eliminated at this time, he had already surpassed many scribes and it was difficult to ridicule him.
On the other hand, Shi Xinji secretly clenched his fists, wanting to see if Qin Yi still dared to read a love poem to Xuan Lingyao.
If he came again, he was really afraid that he would not be able to help but rush over and beat up this bastard.
It’s really too much!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, some were dissatisfied, some were jealous, and some admired him, Qin Yi didn't think much, chose a poem, turned his head slowly, and whispered to Xuan Lingyao, "Only Peony"
The true beauty of the country moves the capital when the flowers bloom."
Judging from Shi Xinji's expression, he already understood that the other party was targeting him entirely because of Xuan Lingyao.
Therefore, he doesn't mind making the other person angry, it's really not just to tease the beauty.
Xuan Lingyao pursed her red lips, turned her head, and looked at Qin Yi intently, with a trace of embarrassment in her bright eyes like autumn water.
Although he guessed Qin Yi's purpose, it was enough once or twice. This guy did it again and again. Wouldn't he be shy if he really thought he was a clay figure?
Shi Xinji gritted his teeth and was about to stand up and reprimand when he heard a word coming from beside him, "Calm down!"
Turning his head, Shi Xinji was stunned when he saw it was Meng Wenlun, and the anger in his heart immediately disappeared.
He didn't want to be embarrassed in front of his friend, not to mention that this friend was a well-known figure in the capital, so he could only suppress his anger.
By the fourth round, only eleven people could still participate in the competition.
When answering, everyone's thinking time became longer and longer.
So after a while, it was Qin Yi's turn.
This time, he did not read poems to Xuan Lingyao again, so as not to anger Shi Xinji instead of angering the beauty.
Without any pause, he read directly, "The lotus flowers are so delicate that they want to talk, but they are worried about killing the boatmen."
When everyone saw it, they were shocked.
Even Shi Xinji, the most knowledgeable talent in Lilan Mansion, needs time to think about why this guy is so smart and quick?
Shao Guangyuan, who had no choice but to be eliminated, was also full of surprise. He did not expect that Qin Yi was not only a talented poet, but also had a memory far beyond ordinary people.
In the fifth round, there were only five people left, including Qin Yi.
Everyone had wry smiles on their faces. Qin Yi was really shocked and couldn't believe it for a moment.
Until someone recognized Qin Yi as the author of "Lisi" and defeated Hou Linghua, they were all stunned and speechless.
A strategist has such outstanding literary talent!
No wonder he dared to participate in this banquet. It turned out that he had something to rely on.
Maybe he just wanted to offend many scribes, but fortunately, his arrival was unlucky. Neither Meng Wenlun, the world's literary star of music, nor Shi Xinji, an erudite scholar from Lilan Prefecture, would give him a good deal.
