Chapter 504 Traitor?

"This young man is very unfamiliar."

Yueniang immediately saluted Long Chen respectfully.

Long Chen ignored Yue Niang and walked straight in. Two women at the door came forward and said, "Master, please stay."

Long Chen stopped and turned to look at He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng.

He Wenbai immediately explained: "Brother Tim, it's your first time here and you have to pass the enlightenment test first."

Children reading and practicing calligraphy are called Enlightenment. When entering the Wangqing Pavilion, they first recite poems and write poems to show that they have read books, so it is called Enlightenment Pass.

Yueniang smiled slightly and said: "Master, we have rules in Wangqing Pavilion. If you want to enter the pavilion, you must match the couplets on the door or compose a poem."

Hu Zhiheng said to Yueniang: "Yue Niang, this young man is very talented and his literary talent far exceeds the two of us. There is no need to pass this enlightenment level."

Yueniang didn't recognize Long Chen after putting on makeup, so she wanted to give it a try and said, "Young master, please forgive me, we have rules in Wangqing Pavilion. If we break the rules, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone."

The crowd at the door cheered and said that they must abide by the rules of Wangqing Pavilion.

Long Chen smiled and said: "When you are in the country, do as the Romans do. Don't break the rules. Please come up with a question."

The great scribe Yu Shinan was already killed, so how could a mere brothel stump him?

Two women at the door came forward, each holding a box in their hands, one containing a couplet and the other containing poems.

He Wenbai said: "Brother Tim, you can choose any one."

Long Chen stretched out his hand to pick one up, but Yueniang smiled and waved away the two women and said, "What do you call this young master?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "Huang Hongtian."

Yueniang's mind turned and she realized that Huang Hongtian had never been heard of among the celebrities in the capital.

"Tian Gongzi is so talented that he is disrespectful in this ordinary way of pairing poems and prose. In Wangqing Pavilion, a down-and-out scholar once left a couplet, but no one has ever been able to match it. I wonder if Mr. Tian is willing to give it a try?"

Yueniang is obviously going to take the exam for Long Chen.

The onlookers around immediately said:

"Did Luo Ying leave it behind?"

"Luo Ying went to Beijing for more than ten years to pay a visit. Although he had a literary name, he had no knowledge of government affairs. He failed to get the official position he wanted, and finally lived in seclusion."

"He fell in love at first sight with Miss Qiulu from Wangqing Pavilion, and left this couplet before leaving. No one can match it to this day."

He Wenbai became anxious and said: "Yue Niang, no one has been able to match her for more than ten years. How can such a difficult couplet be placed in the Enlightenment Pass?"

The big boss is placed in Novice Village, and the group is immediately wiped out.

Hu Zhiheng also said: "Could it be that Yueniang can't believe our words?"

Yueniang smiled and said: "How could it be? I just trust the words of the two young masters, so I dare to do anything."

This was obviously a show of force to Long Chen.

Long Chen smiled and said: "Bring it!"

Yueniang waved, and a woman held a piece of agarwood with the first couplet engraved on it: A pair of jade arms and a pillow for thousands of people.

The onlookers talked a lot, saying that the first couplet seemed simple, but it also revealed helplessness and sighs.

Luo Ying likes Miss Qiulu, but is unable to take her away, so he can only watch her receive guests.

Yueniang smiled and said: "Please Mr. Tian come out with the second couplet."

Long Chen thought for a while and said: "A little bit of red lips will be tasted by thousands of guests!"

hiss....

He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were shocked, Yueniang was also dumbfounded, and the onlookers exclaimed "Great Talent."

"A half-dozen pair matches each other, a pair of red lips matches a pair of jade arms, and a thousand guests match a thousand pillows. They are perfectly matched."

"The upper and lower couplets express the sadness and helplessness of the brothel woman, absolutely!"

"Why have I never heard of such a great talent?"

"Where did Mr. Tian come from? Huang Hongtian, Huang family?"

"No one has been able to match the first couplet for more than ten years, and he matched it in an instant."

Long Chen asked with a smile: "How? Can I enter this door?"

Yueniang bowed and said, "Of course, Mr. Tian please come!"

Yueniang respectfully welcomed Long Chen into the door. He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng admired him and followed him into the Forgetting Pavilion.

"Yue Niang, we are here only for Miss Qingyuan. Mr. Tian has already demonstrated his strength just now. Let us go up."

The guests in the building heard that Long Chen came specifically to challenge Qing Yuan, and they all gathered around to watch the fun.

They didn't notice the commotion outside the door just now.

The reason is very simple. The enlightenment level is too simple and they are not interested in watching.

But Long Chen wanted to challenge Qing Yuan for the first time, which made them curious about where this arrogant person came from.

"Okay, then..."

Yueniang wants to agree, Long Chen is strong enough.

"Wait, this is against the rules."

A man holding a feather fan and wearing a turban came out.

This man's name was Zhu Hua, and he was a well-known scholar in the capital, especially good at poetry.

He Wenbai said disdainfully: "Zhu Hua, do you think Brother Tian is not qualified to go up?"

Zhu Hua chuckled and said: "If Brother Wenbai goes up by himself, I will naturally say nothing, but I have never seen this Mr. Tian."

Hu Zhiheng scolded: "Brother Tim's literary talent is far better than the two of us. How dare you be rude and you won't back down!"

Zhu Hua laughed and said: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the two great talents in the capital would actually be willing to be inferior and willing to be lackeys."

He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were so angry that they wanted to take action, but Long Chen stopped him and said, "It's okay, the rules are the rules. Do you want to compete with me in poetry?"

Zhu Hua rolled up his sleeves and said, "I once wrote a poem. If you can beat me, I will have nothing to say."

"Listen to my chant..."

Zhu Hua was about to recite a poem, but Long Chen was too lazy to listen and said, "No need, I'll compose one for you, you can taste it yourself!"

"In the down and out world, there is a wine shop, and the waist is slender and the palms are light; after ten years of sleep, I have forgotten my love and dreams, and I have won the lucky reputation of a brothel."

Du Mu's poem, by changing two words, perfectly fits this situation.

When Zhu Hua saw that Long Chen was not giving him face, he was about to get angry, but when Long Chen's poem was recited, Zhu Hua shut up.

"What a poem, so wonderful!"

"Who is this Brother Hong Tian and why have I never seen him before?"

Everyone is curious, why has such a high talent never been heard of before?

He Wenbai was afraid of revealing his identity, so he said: "Brother Tian has been living in seclusion in the mountains. Today he accidentally came out for a walk. It's normal that you don't know."

Yueniang quickly called a man over: "Quickly, write down Mr. Tian's poems and engrave them in the poem forest in the backyard."

There is a courtyard in the backyard of Wangqing Pavilion, where many stone tablets are erected, with some excellent poems and articles engraved on them.

There are so many literati in Wangqing Pavilion. It is a great honor to leave poems in Shilin.

From now on, entry and exit to Wangqing Pavilion will be free of charge, and it will also be recited by the literati of the capital.

The man immediately copied the poem.

Hu Zhiheng said with admiration: "Brother Tim's approach is really different. The first poem can be engraved in the poetry forest."

Long Chen didn't understand and asked: "Is it powerful to carve in the poetry forest?"

He Wenbai said: "Brother Tian didn't know what he was doing. He was able to engrave it on the poetry forest. When Brother Tim comes to Wangqing Pavilion in the future, everything will be free of charge, and it will be recited by the literati in the capital."

Long Chen didn't expect that he could get free tickets by reciting poems. This really saves money.

"Then I'll play two more songs?"

He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were shocked and asked: "Brother Tim, such a masterpiece, can you write three songs at once?"

Long Chen did not answer, but directly chanted:

"Every day in the brothel, I am drunk and dreaming, and I don't know that spring is already thick outside the window; the apricot blossoms have not encountered the drizzle of rain, and I don't know how many people are behind the beaded curtain."

"The fragrant curtains are blown by the wind and the flowers enter the building, and the high-pitched zither plays to soothe the sorrow of the night; the heart is broken and the mountains are unexplained, and the waning moon hangs under the curtain hook."

Long Chen recited two more poems, leaving Zhu Hua and other literati dumbfounded...

Yueniang shouted excitedly: "Copy it, copy it, and engrave it on the poetry forest!"

Although this Yueniang is an old bustard, her poems and prose are already as good as those of these famous people. She can judge the quality of poems and prose just by listening to them.

There was a commotion in Wangqing Pavilion.

A person writes three poems at a time, and all three poems are engraved in the poetry forest. This is too outrageous.

Long Chen asked: "Pig! Can I go up?"
