Lu Chen saw that although Gu Chengyu was smiling, there was a coldness in his eyes, and he knew that Gu Chengyu was unwilling.
Lu Chen was also a little unhappy. He thought that except for a few specific people, no one in the capital dared not give him face. Even in front of the fourth prince, he was usually very casual.
Gu Chengyu, a mere civil servant, dared not to give him face.
However, he also knew that getting angry at this time would be out of character. Then he patiently bowed his hand to Gu Chengyu.
"Gu Jieyuan may have some misunderstandings about me. I have no intention of coercing Gu Jieyuan, but my friend really admires Gu Jieyuan's poetic talent. He stays in bed all year round, and when he has nothing to do, he often reads Gu Jieyuan's poems."
Lu Chen paused and saw that Gu Chengyu's face remained as usual and was not moved by his words, and then continued: "Since I met Gu Jieyuan today, I also asked Gu Jieyuan to write two poems. I might as well take them back with my friends to talk about them.
comfort."
Gu Chengyu could see that although Lu Chen's words were polite, his expression was not. But since he was talking about this, it would be unjustifiable if he failed to fulfill his purpose.
"Brother Lu's friendship with his best friend makes me admire him. Thanks to the young master for never abandoning his friend, I will compose a poem to express my love for you two!"
Gu Chengyu smiled and then sat down.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu agreed, Lu Chen asked Hua's mother to prepare some pen and ink.
When Min Feng saw this, his face darkened. He looked at the paper in his hand that had not yet been written, feeling a little uninterested.
It seems that as long as Gu Chengyu is around, everyone can only see Gu Chengyu's talent and ignore him as a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River.
No matter how hard he tried, Gu Chengyu always sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. He took a deep breath. Ever since he met Gu Chengyu, he had been feeling uneasy.
"Alas! This Gu Chengyu was born to defeat us. As long as he is here, who will remember our three great talents in Jiangnan?"
Liu Haonan had already prepared several poems, but now that Gu Chengyu has written them, it probably has nothing to do with him. He is very knowledgeable now, and as long as he doesn't get involved himself, he won't be slapped in the face.
"Hey? That person is really Gu Jieyuan! Didn't he say he was in prison a few days ago? Why did he get out?"
Some students were not well informed and did not know that Gu Chengyu and the others had come out.
"Yes! Didn't you hear that many people were arrested? Or because of fraud cases! I don't know if they can still participate in the imperial examination."
"When did that happen to you? People have come out a long time ago. I heard that the fraud case is completely false. Your information is really not well-informed. Just wait! In two days, the imperial list will be released, and the list of candidates who will try it will be released.
The order is coming soon.”
"Huh? I really don't know. Brother, please tell me."
Lu Chen also turned around and sat down, while Yu Ting murmured next to him.
"The reputation of the three great talents in Jiangnan is also obvious. In fact, there is no need for Gu Chengyu's poems, right?" He was still a little worried about what happened in Tianxiang Pavilion last time.
I originally thought that Gu Chengyu would not be able to get out after entering the cell. Unexpectedly, only one day later, Gu Chengyu came out of the cell.
Min Feng wrote down the poem and waited for the ink to dry. He looked at the seat opposite and saw Gu Chengyu grinding attentively.
"I said, you should have written poetry a long time ago. Why spend that unjust money? That's only one thousand two hundred taels! You are really willing to give up." Zhu Pang doesn't have much monthly money, and his father is afraid that he will spend a lot of money.
The superiors are even more strict.
Therefore, it is a bit hard to understand that Zhu Pang could spend one thousand two hundred taels of silver on Gu Chengyu just for one night.
"Do you know who Lu Chen's friend is?" Zhu Pang glanced at Gu Chengyu mysteriously. Gu Chengyu dipped his brush full of ink and prepared to write.
"Could it be the fourth prince?" Gu Chengyu blurted out.
"How do you know? Did you hear someone say it? That's right, it's not a secret."
Zhu Pang said that he thought this question was a bit boring, but actually he thought it was a bit strange! Zhan Yuanhou Mansion is the eldest prince's maternal family, and the eldest son of the Hou Mansion is often with the eldest prince. Unexpectedly, the second young master, Lu Chen,
But he made good friends with the fourth prince.
Moreover, the Marquis Mansion did not interfere, and the eldest prince did not appear to be angry. Is the relationship between the eldest prince and the fourth prince so good? Maybe it is because the fourth prince has no chance of being crowned king a long time ago?
For such a younger brother who was seriously ill and had no help from his family, other princes did not take him seriously.
"It's not that I heard or guessed." Gu Chengyu knew very little about the fourth prince. It wasn't that he didn't want to know, but there weren't many rumors about him in the capital, which might be the reason why he didn't leave the palace often.
Lu Chen is the son of the Xun noble family. When it comes to being unwell all year round, Gu Chengyu has only heard of the fourth prince, so he just made a casual guess.
Gu Chengyu thought for a while and then wrote the beginning.
"The incense of the jade stove and the tears of red wax illuminate the autumn thoughts in the painting hall. The eyebrows are green and thin, the clouds are left on the temples, and the pillow is cold during the long night."
Since we were in a brothel, according to the rules of Tianxiang Pavilion, the poems written by everyone were related to the fragrance of spring, so Gu Chengyu wrote these related poems.
"Eh? Is this a poem? Why does the format seem different from before?" Zhu Pang stopped writing when he saw Gu Chengyu wrote a few sentences, and hurriedly came forward to take a look.
Gu Chengyu smiled faintly and said, "This is the first word card."
There was no Ci Pai in the Dayan Dynasty. There were so many literati this time. Gu Chengyu just heard that some people wrote quite good poems. He had no research on this type of poetry. If he wanted to stand out, he had to find another way.
"Ci? It's really unheard of." Zhu Pang is not proficient in poetry, but he still understands the format of poetry. He has never seen the format of Gu Chengyu's poem.
He curiously took Gu Chengyu's poem and admired it. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was called Cipai, and more like a music score.
When Lu Chen saw that Gu Chengyu had put down his pen, he ordered the boy beside him to bring Gu Chengyu's poems over for everyone to comment on.
At this time, the bidding on the other side has come to an end, and everyone is focused on the poetry competition. Even those rough guys who are illiterate in writing do not dare to make a loud noise at this time. They know that the person who just spoke is a top-notch person in the capital.
Naturally, they would never dare to offend the powerful people.
Hua's mother smiled on her face, but she was extremely angry in her heart. She didn't expect that a roadblock would appear. She had already pocketed the six hundred taels of silver, but she didn't expect to have someone intercept Hu.
However, she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on her face. They Tianxiang Pavilion couldn't afford to offend the young masters sitting over there.
Fu Yanshan also wanted to know what Gu Chengyu wrote, but although he was eager, he also knew that someone would definitely read it later.
He also gave the poem he had written in his hand to Chang Sui and asked him to hand it over.
Those who wrote poems orally at the beginning can only be regarded as instigating others, while the pen and ink at the end are the highlight.
"Today all the talented people are gathered together. Please read below. Why don't you put all your poems together and have them read aloud, so that everyone can comment on them together."
