Bai Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Which junior student deserves such praise from His Highness the King of Wu? Don't even mention the title of the most talented person in Jiangnan! Otherwise, the student will really have no face to face you gentlemen!"
Everyone smiled kindly, thinking that Bai Yi was being modest. Bai Yi continued: "There are so many gentlemen here that it is too late for students to study. How can students dare to show their shame?"
Bai Yi cupped his hands and said, "Gentlemen, let's come first! Students can just watch from the sidelines!" He was about to go back. Everyone thought he was being modest. How could he really be asked to go back? So everyone started
Use words to stop.
Li Ruo also smiled and said: "Zi Qi doesn't have to be modest. Your talent is obvious to all. There must be some from Jiangnan here. Who doesn't know Zi Qi in white?"
Scholars have looked down on each other since ancient times, not to mention that Bai Yi is still known as "the most talented man in Jiangnan"? How many talented people are there in Jiangnan? Most talented people are proud of their talents, how many are willing to be inferior to others?
But when Li Xi said this, they had no choice but to agree, so they could only smile on their faces but not on their faces. They applauded warmly on their faces, but sneered in their hearts.
Bai Yi looked at Li Nuo's expression of "You're welcome, good brother!" and cried without tears. He really had no inspiration and couldn't write it!
But looking at the enthusiastic shouts of everyone present, Bai Yi didn't want to be a spoiler, so he could only nod helplessly. When Li Yi saw this, he smiled and clapped his hands, and several maids came forward to sit on Bai Yi's table.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were laid out.
When things came to a close, Bai Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet. He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he picked up his pen. His mind went blank, and he unconsciously wanted to look towards the river.
There was silence all around. Bai Yi gritted his teeth and could only start writing. After writing a few strokes, he handed it to the maid on the side. The maid took the poem and bowed respectfully.
Then he took it with both hands and gave it to another maid.
The maid was specifically responsible for reciting, and there were drums and music playing beside her. When she took the poem and looked at it, she couldn't help but look a little weird, but she had received special training, so she didn't say much, she just recited it dedicatedly:
"At the end of late autumn in September, the frost and ice turn into cold crystals, the vast sky is ruthless, the small people are hungry and discouraged, the cold wind drives the people away, and there are hungry and cold bones on the road. Fortunately, the holy emperor, like Yao and Shun Yu, lowered his body and sympathized with the people. This emotion
Heaven and earth, rivers and seas are made equal!"
The scene couldn't help but become quiet, the drumming had stopped, but everyone was still silent, and many people even had complicated expressions.
Uh.........That's it? No more? Is this the number one talent in Jiangnan? I can do it even at this level...
Bai Yi's face was a little confused, and Li Yi looked at Bai Yi in surprise, brother! This is not your level! I gave you a chance to show your face, and you just show us this?
Fortunately, everyone is a show person, so soon someone started to praise:
"What a poem, what a poem! Especially that line, that line...well...the road is full of hunger and cold bones! It's really sad and makes the listener cry!"
"Ah, yes, yes! Mr. Huang is really good! That's it! Oh, it's really amazing!"
"I beg to differ! I prefer the line about the Holy Emperor, who imitated Yao and Shun and Yu, and showed himself to the people! It really expresses my love for the people so profoundly! I can't help but cry!"
"Yes, yes, I almost couldn't help beating my chest, stamping my feet, looking up to the sky and crying! Sad husband! Sad husband!"
"I've been holding back my words! Mr. Bai is a great talent! He is indeed extraordinary! This handwriting is bound to be obtained by this old man!"
"Hey! You can't even compete with me! I really like this poem! Just give me a chance!"
Give you a chance to show your filial piety? What a good thing! Who here doesn’t want to get involved with His Highness King Wu and the Bai family of Yangzhou? Give you a chance? Haha!
In fact, let alone Bai Yi's writing, it's just a piece of shit-like doggerel! As long as it has the last few lines, no one dares to say that this poem is not good!
It is the business of future generations to judge themselves.
But for everyone present now, who dares to say that this poem is not good? One is that the face of King Wu is in it. After all, it is the person recommended by him. If you really criticize it, is it not a slap in the face of His Highness King Wu?
The second one is that this poem is flattering to Emperor Yongxi, and it is even compared to Yao and Shun, far superior to Yutang! If you say that this poem is not good, what is the difference between saying that Emperor Yongxi is not good?
Although Emperor Yongxi definitely cannot be the same as you because of such a trivial matter, but who wants to listen to others scolding him? From now on, his official career is basically hopeless!
So even if this poem is really not good, they still have to boast that it is good! They almost started to fight for it! Don’t grab it! This poem belongs to me! Mr. Bai! I really admire you.
ah!
Listening to the compliments from below, the women on the boat also fell silent. They are all ladies who have read books, so they can see the level of this poem. At this time, they also listened to the compliments below.
I don't know what expression to make.
Li Miaojin clicked his tongue and said to Ren Suxuan on the side: "Is this called quite talented?" Ren Suxuan also blinked a little strangely and said: "Maybe he has regressed. Learning these things is basically sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Yeah, I’m not very familiar with him either.”
How did Ren Suxuan know that it was because of him that Bai Yi failed so badly? When Bai Yi was writing poems, he felt like there was always a pair of scrutinizing eyes staring at him, and he looked disdainfully like "That's it?"!
Bai Yi suddenly stopped being able to write. He felt like there were ants crawling on his body and couldn't sit still! He really couldn't write a single word!
Yes, Bai Yi, who has always been arrogant, is not as calm as he appears on the surface! He is ashamed and angry because he lost at the hands of a woman!
He couldn't believe that he, the most talented man in the south of the Yangtze River, would be defeated by a woman! He was in pain! He was confused! He felt that he had no face to continue writing poems and articles! This had become a demon in his heart!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So he must marry Ren Suxuan. His despicable idea is that no matter how powerful this woman is, she is still a woman! As long as he conquers her with male means
!Let her become his crotch minister, then the humiliation he suffered will be nothing at all!
After all, people have become yours, so what happens then is not yours to decide? Although Bai Yi himself knew that this idea was despicable, how could he tolerate his own failure?
Obviously, the pampering he had been enjoying since childhood and the arrogance brought to him by Bai Yi's own talent made him lose himself.
Not to mention that Bai Yi was just the son of a mere salt merchant. Even if Bai Yi really got rid of his identity as a salt merchant, he would just be a civil servant.
In the eyes of a distinguished noble like the Korean government, Bai Yi is no different from a dog. The only difference is that he may be a very rich and powerful dog... But a dog is a dog, Tiger Girl
Not worthy of a dog?
Not to mention that Ren Suxuan, who is also very arrogant, does not look down on Bai Yi who she defeated at all. Even if she did, she would cry to marry Bai Yi, the Korean Duke Ren Jingli and even everyone in the Korean government.
No one will agree!
In this era, class itself is an insurmountable gap! It is not something that can be achieved with the efforts of one generation. Except for families like the Jia family that are against Tiangang, no noble noble will help a girl from a commoner background to become the first wife.
This is also true! And this is one of the symbols of the decline of the Jia family!
The truth is so cruel. This was after Huang Chaotian Street trampled all the bones of the ministers. If you lived before this, even the distinction between common people and nobles would be very clear!
It's not the so-called five surnames and seven hopes. Even if you become a royal family, people should still look down on you or look down on you...
Although this is definitely not the case now, for a top noble like Jia Z, there really is no difference.
Regardless of Cao Gang or salt merchants, in the eyes of Jia Z and Ren Jingli and other high-ranking people, they are just dogs. They may be able to use their own money and money to establish a huge power, but in the eyes of Jia Z and Ren Jingli,
In the eyes of those who hold national weapons, there are only four words: "vulnerable"!
But hiding in a place like Yangzhou is too comfortable for Bai Yi, or it could be said that Yelang is arrogant. He thinks he has seen the highest and most noble people in the world, and even princes, emperors and grandsons are friendly and cheerful!
This made him think that his power was the same as that of Yangzhou. Although he could not do whatever he wanted, he was still the top young master...
hehe!
He overlooked one thing, that is, these people who were kind to him were almost all people who wanted something from him, and those princes and grandsons just wanted to get his money. In fact, they really regarded him as a friend.
?
This wrong perception created the illusion that he was completely worthy of the daughter of a Korean princess. As long as he tried hard to impress Ren Suxuan, he could become Ren Jingli's wife and son-in-law!
Just like now, a very ordinary poem that I wrote casually, these people are snatching it like a treasure! They all have to hold it up and talk about it!
Although Bai Yi himself hated this feeling, so during the bidding stage, Bai Yi directly spent a lot of money to buy his own poem.
When everyone saw that Bai Yi had bought his own poem, they stopped arguing with him. They just looked at each other strangely. Bai Yi felt even more ashamed and angry when he saw this, but his face was still calm and he said calmly: "I don't feel anything today.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I really have no inspiration for a while. How can this kind of poem taint your ears and eyes?"
Hearing this, Li Ruo could only smile and say: "Zi Qi is really too self-effacing, but it's okay, I am short of money right now. If you have such thoughts, I will be rude to you."
?”
Bai Yiqiang laughed twice, and felt a secret hatred in his heart. When he went back, he must tear up this garbage and throw it into the fire! He couldn't let it stay in the world and stain his reputation!
Yang Yueying said boredly: "Coward! Don't you dare to recognize what you wrote? At this level, you dare to talk so brazenly about the most talented person in Jiangnan? When did the scholars in Jiangnan become so incompetent? I think she is worse than a woman like me!"
Shangguan Wan'er quickly pulled Yang Yueying, because Yang Yueying said these words completely openly. Although everyone present heard it, they still discussed it heatedly. They smiled bitterly in their hearts, and just wanted to get over it quickly.
!
Yang Yueying felt Shangguan Wan'er pulling her up, and couldn't help curling her lips but shouting even more vigorously: "What? I can't say what I'm doing? Aren't everyone here deaf and blind! Can't you tell which one is good and which one is bad? Such a poem
Can it be considered poetry? I can write ten different poems without blinking an eye!"
Bai Yi's heart was filled with hatred, but he closed his eyes and pretended not to hear. Everyone present was also joking and trying to suppress the voice. Yang Yueying knew this, so she deliberately spoke louder and louder.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's better to say less..." Yang Yueying snorted, but still said disdainfully: "Why should I not say it? Aren't they the ones who should shut up?"
Yang Jisheng outside smiled and spoke. He looked at Bai Yi and said with a smile: "My little girl is naughty. She has had this temperament since she was a child, and she can't be disciplined. Mr. Bai shouldn't mind?"
On the side, Yang Yuexi, the son of Yang Jisheng, sneered and said nothing. Seeing that Bai Yi couldn't evade it, he could only stand up and bow in shame and anger: "Student, shame on you!"
Yang Jisheng smiled and waved his hand and said: "What are you ashamed of? It's understandable for young people to have a straight temper. It's normal to have a good face. Poetry is a way to entertain the heart, so don't worry too much."
Bai Yi bowed respectfully and said, "I've been taught a lesson!" Then he sat back down with a look of shame on his face, and the poetry meeting was able to continue.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Ruo couldn't help but smiled awkwardly and said a few words of advice. There is no other way, otherwise this poetry meeting will really not be able to continue. This is the first time I have just written.
A poem with this virtue would be criticized immediately. Who would dare to write it later?
It made Bai Yi almost feel embarrassed to leave in advance! If Bai Yi was really angry and left, the rest of the poetry meeting would definitely have to be spent in embarrassment!
Li Ruo was really on the verge of crying at this time. Why is it so difficult to do something by himself? So many things happened for no reason! Are you all just here to cause trouble and watch my jokes?
Yang Yueying didn't feel like she was causing trouble at all, she just snorted disdainfully. Naturally, some of the women couldn't stand Yang Yueying's behavior.
But some people like Yang Yueying's character, and they came forward and laughed for a while, and they all praised Yang Yueying. Yang Yueying just smiled and said: "I just can't understand his virtues! He's quite a big man.
My son, my mind is smaller than that of a chicken! The dandy even asked me not to say anything! So I insisted on scolding him!"
Shangguan Wan'er, who was lying innocently at gunpoint, smiled bitterly and spread her hands. She was not speaking for Bai Yi, but she was kind-hearted and didn't want to cause trouble.
Li Miaojin on the side also made fun of Yang Yueying for a while, then glanced at Ren Suxuan who just smiled and said nothing, suddenly rolled his eyes, cleared his throat and said: "Strange, why is the second brother so quiet today?"
Ren Suxuan's thoughts changed, but his expression remained unchanged. Li Miaojin looked at Ren Suxuan with a deep smile and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my second brother writing poetry for a while. Could it be that he really became a warrior?"
Ren Suxuan smiled and said nothing, and the women around him happily began to discuss Jia Z's poems. So they wrote poems under the boat. Occasionally, some of them were good, which triggered a burst of applause, while the women on the boat started to discuss.
I have read Jia Z’s poems, and I am still thinking of ways to quote Jia Z in a poem!
In fact, Li Miaojin really guessed that Jia Z was indeed planning to sit for a while and leave without saying a word today. He appeared as a mascot. When he appeared, his function basically ended.
, as long as the effect is achieved, he really is not ready to do anything more eye-catching.
These things seem very boring to Jia Z now. With this time, Jia Z might as well think about how to do the next dredging and flood relief work, and how to control the epidemic when the rain is over.
After a major disaster, there will definitely be a major epidemic, especially now when the weather is cold and influenza is easy to occur. Today is not the modern world a few hundred years later. Everyone has several virus antibodies, and they have a comfortable environment and sufficient supplies even if they get sick.
medications and medical conditions.
Nowadays, even a cold or a cold can kill someone! There is even a shortage of medicines! So once a large-scale plague really develops, uu reading will probably be another big trouble!
The pneumonic plague broke out in the capital in the sixth year of Chongzhen, causing massive deaths, with almost a 100% mortality rate! This plague lasted until the sixteenth year of Chongzhen! And nearly 40% of the people in the country died from this plague
!Ten million people died in North China alone!
Historical records record: "The sun rises from the nine gates of the imperial capital and tens of thousands of coffins appear!" "There are those who die with the gates closed but no one is there to collect the burials!" The infected person was riding a horse one second and "died in the saddle, still raising his whip with his hands raised" the next second!
Not only has the plague in the capital not been resolved, it has swept through the entire thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty! Nine out of ten rooms are empty, and maggots have crawled onto the streets! "People and ghosts are mixed in each city, and people dare not walk in the sunset"!
The 200,000 garrison in the capital had completely lost their ability to fight because of the plague, and there were even less than a thousand horses that could still fight! The soldiers were even more weak! Even when Li Zicheng's army entered the capital, they all fell to the ground.
He refused to stand up and fight despite being whipped by his superiors!
This plague lasted for ten years, but not only did it not slow down at all, but an even greater locust plague followed! It can be said to be the last straw that broke the Ming Dynasty! It was like a sharp sword.
Pierced the heart of Ming Dynasty!
People in the Ming Dynasty have no time to grieve themselves, so that future generations will mourn for them. Later generations will mourn without taking note of it, which will also cause future generations to mourn for future generations again!
What worries Jia Z now is the safety of Emperor Yongxi, and the second thing is that in the current weird and turbulent situation, when everyone is in danger, no one is paying attention to the rain in Zhili, Henan.
How will we deal with the famine in the coming year and the epidemic caused by the disaster? Today's Dayan also cannot afford to endure a ten-year-long plague!
