, the road to wealth for a peasant family and the imperial examination
"I have something I need Mr. Gu to clarify. In what book did Mr. Gu find this poem?"
Fu Yanshan was obsessed with books. Seeing Gu Chengyu come up with a new style of poetry, he couldn't help but feel excited and just wanted to go back and study it in detail.
"Senior Brother Fu, I saw this in an isolated historical collection. The books included in it are not works by famous writers. The books have been damaged, so I'm afraid I can't answer my questions for Senior Brother Fu."
When Fu Yanshan heard this, he could only shake his head in regret and couldn't ask further questions.
"I said, the font created by Gu Chengyu before was said to be seen in a book, and the latter style of poetry was said to be seen in a book. How come we have never seen it before?"
Some students can't help but envy Gu Chengyu's luck. This is a pioneering poetry style! He can imagine that it won't be long before this kind of poetry will be popular throughout the capital and spread to other places.
Although it needs to be recognized by the great Confucians, none of the great Confucians have the ability to create a new style of poetry. This word card is similar to the poetry, and it also rhymes with oblique and oblique rhymes, but the format is different from the poetry!
"You are really naive. Do you believe what he said he saw in a book? I think this is his own invention. Think about it! The first time may be a coincidence, but the second time is a coincidence again.
That’s a bit far-fetched, right?”
Some people are very interested in Gu Chengyu's facial expressions and have copied them later, but they can't find the essence. Unfortunately, very few of Gu Chengyu's calligraphy works have been circulated. He himself does not often use facial expressions to write. If he wants to copy them, he can only find a few.
This copybook is even harder to find than those orphan copies.
"Isn't it? Since it is his own creation, why not admit it directly and insist on saying that he saw it in a book?" Some people don't believe it. Why would Gu Chengyu give up such a good opportunity to become famous? This is someone who can become a great scholar of the generation.
It's a good opportunity to be on equal footing with those great scholars today, and no one will question it.
"When a new font and poetry style appears, it always takes a while for everyone to accept it, and it may even be rejected by others. After all, Gu Chengyu is not a famous artist yet. He said he saw it in a book, and it should be
I wanted to make it easier for everyone to accept it, and it would be considered a reputation, but it’s a pity that we missed such a good opportunity.”
If he is recognized by everyone, he can really be regarded as a contemporary great scholar.
Gu Chengyu didn't know what others were thinking. He was wondering whether he could get first place tonight.
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, "Since it is the work of predecessors, it can be considered reasonable. Let's ask the great scholars to study it. I don't know how long it will take to come up with the results. If not, why don't we treat it as an ordinary poem?
Let’s decide the winner.”
Everyone also felt that it made sense. No matter what, the winner must be decided tonight.
Lu Chen picked up Gu Chengyu's word card, ordered someone to copy two more copies, and whispered a few words to the attendant on the side. Gu Chengyu saw that the attendant took the order and took the word card away. Lu Chen did not explain who to invite.
No one asked about the Confucian’s comments. Anyway, the results will be announced automatically.
Min Feng looked at Gu Chengyu and had an unknown premonition. Maybe after tonight, Gu Chengyu's name would become famous in the capital again, even more than before.
"You said that this word card can be used as a melody score. I wonder if Brother Gu can sing and play? Why don't you let everyone appreciate it."
Lu Chen suddenly remembered Gu Chengyu's poem, which was a tune, and wanted to listen to it. Now he felt that Gu Chengyu was a bit interesting. Maybe tonight he could bring some of Gu Chengyu's calligraphy to the fourth prince.
Min Feng looked at Gu Chengyu. They were not in the same format. It was not easy to decide the winner. This could only depend on the artistic conception of the poem, but everyone seemed to have ignored it at the moment. They were all talking about Gu Chengyu's poem. His poem was
People forgot that in terms of artistic conception and topic, he thought he was better than Gu Chengyu's Ci Pai.
Min Feng was a little unconvinced. As soon as he heard about this night banquet, he started to prepare. It was just in time to clarify the previous rumors and avoid everyone's suspicion that he was living in vain.
"This poem is good, but the contest tonight is about poetry. If Junior Brother Gu doesn't write a poem again, we can compare and choose the first place. I think Junior Brother Gu has no objection, right?"
Gu Chengyu values that woman so much, no matter what the reason is, he will definitely not give up on the first place.
Lu Chen glanced at Min Feng and raised the corners of his lips slightly. Could it be that he couldn't wait any longer?
"I think this poem can also participate in the competition, but the artistic conception of this poem is not in line with tonight's poem title. But Brother Gu will compose another one that is closer to tonight's poem title, and then we will decide the winner."
As soon as these words came out, Liang Shaoen and Yu Ting looked at each other in confusion. Lu Chen was not usually so easy to talk to.
Min Feng's face sank a little. There was no rule to win or lose with one poem tonight. Even if Gu Chengyu participated by writing a few more poems, there was no foul play.
Gu Chengyu also knew that the lyrics for this poem did not match. He also had matching lyrics in his mind, but he just couldn't write down some of them.
Under the urging of everyone, Gu Chengyu had no choice but to write again. He thought for a moment, but he couldn't write because it was too explicit. If it was spread in the future, it would damage his reputation. After thinking about it, he started writing.
This time, Lu Chen and the other students gathered at Gu Chengyu's place. There was no need for anyone to read through it. Everyone was watching eagerly.
Seeing this, Min Feng suddenly felt depressed. He returned to his seat angrily and drank alone.
"In the midst of Jiao'e and Luo Qi, we have the same idea and understand each other with a smile.
Beside the willows and flowers, nestled against the fragrant jade, enjoying the moon and the wind.
It is worthy of depicting the joyful phoenix and the jealous phoenix, without the praise of the pavilion and the flowers and the moon vying with each other.
Delicate drops of duck green and red mandarin ducks, trembling rain and clouds.
There was no marriage in this world, but in this life we meet by chance."
Gu Chengyu looked at it and clicked on some of the meaning without being too explicit. Then he wrote the name of the word card next to it, and finally his signature.
"It's called First Meeting, is there a sequel?" Lu Chen saw the unfinished meaning of this poem and asked with some doubts.
Gu Chengyu nodded and thought to himself. As expected of a young master, he had been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and he was quite accomplished in poetry and poetry. No matter how talented he was in poetry, his ability in appreciation was still admirable.
"Not to mention, this word card looks almost like a poem, and it is also catchy when read. It has the same effect as the musical score!"
When Zhu Pang heard this, he glanced at the student and said, "As I said just now, this word tablet can be used as a music score."
Gu Chengyu nodded and said to Lu Chen: "Of course there are more below. The first one is for our first meeting."
"What about the next song? Brother Gu, why don't you write it down for everyone to appreciate." In fact, everyone also thinks that the Ci Pai is very novel. This song seems to be somewhat different in format from the one Gu Chengyu just played.
