I don't know who made the sound, and then the scene fell into silence. A pair of curious eyes looked upstairs at the same time.
By chance, Ke Xiaofeng was leaning half against the railing, with only the corner of her face exposed.
But it was just this half of his face that made people recognize him.
Sure enough, that was the rightful master who came for You Yinxiang, and that plum blossom song was truly the masterpiece of Master Ke.
Although she never admitted that it was her fault, her ancestors' claims about her dream were obviously unconvincing, and they all believed that it was Ke Xiaofeng's fault.
Xia Shang also looked upstairs. He had completely forgotten about the girl with whom he had a poetry competition. He didn't recognize her face, but he just knew that there was such a person.
When I saw the half of the face upstairs, I felt a little strange. Could it be that this girl used her own dictation to claim that the song "Plum Blossom" was her own?
Xia Shang was just curious. He never thought about standing up and saying that the girl was cheating the world and stealing her reputation. He was just a little curious.
Two floors away, Ke Xiaofeng guessed what Xia Shang was thinking, and couldn't help frowning, secretly thinking that the people below must have regarded him as a deceitful person? But now is not the time to dwell on this, the Japanese people downstairs
Provocation again:
"I have long admired the name of Ke Xiaofeng, the poet in the capital. I used to think that the reputation was too great for practical knowledge, and I thought that all the women in the world were dancing and writing just for the sake of being elegant. Who would have thought that today I accidentally heard a masterpiece by Ke Xianzi. There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han is alone
Open. I knew it wasn’t snow from a distance, because there was a faint fragrance. It’s really amazing. Although I, Zhang Liang, am pretentious, I also know that it’s difficult to write poems that can compare with it.”
After hearing this, everyone around them felt their faces light up and laughed and said: "You are quite self-aware. This poem "Plum Blossom" has already become the number one poem among the literati in the capital in the past ten years. You, a little foreign bachelor,
How can it be compared with Fairy Ke?"
Zhang Liang downstairs smiled and suddenly raised his hand to Ke Xiaofeng upstairs: "The first in the past ten years? So in the past ten years, Ke Xianzi has only one piece that can be called a stunning masterpiece.
? If a literary scholar in the world became famous all over the world with just one poem, wouldn't it be a bit exaggerated? In my opinion, the way of poetry is a flash of inspiration. As long as the inspiration comes, a casual saying may become a famous line for the ages. This is
By chance, the poem "Plum Blossom" by Ke Xianzi came out.
It’s just chance for Fairy Ke. If you really talk about your true talent and learning, I’m afraid it’s not as much as the world is touting, right? Otherwise, why would there be only one song called “Plum Blossom”?”
"Xianzi Ke, even with this poem, is beyond compare!"
"If the Chinese literati only compare their talent and knowledge with one poem, then I will naturally be far behind. However, Zhang Liang has traveled throughout China for many years and has yet to meet anyone who can convince people of his true talent and learning. Fairy Ke is here today.
This is a rare opportunity, why not let me compare with the fairy under the witness of everyone, and see whether the title of the most talented woman in the capital is true or not?"
"Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to compete with Fairy Ke?"
Zhang Liang's expression remained unchanged: "If anyone here is dissatisfied, you can compare with me!"
As soon as these words came out, although everyone around him was angry, few dared to say a word.
After all, this man was able to force Ouyang Wenxiu to hide his face just now, which shows that he is still quite capable.
There are few people present who dare to think that they are better than Ouyang Wenxiu.
Seeing no one answered, Zhang Liang shouted arrogantly to the people upstairs: "Fairy Ke, do you dare to compete with me?"
"Sister-in-law, this person is so arrogant!" The girl upstairs was so angry that her sister-in-law never spoke.
Ke Xiaofeng lost her previous calmness and frowned, looking at Xia Shang below, wanting to see his performance.
Xia Shang was a little worried. If Fairy Ke upstairs had stolen "Plum Blossoms" under the guise of her own name and made it for herself, then she might not have strong knowledge and it would be difficult to get any benefits compared with Zhang Liang.
And this Zhang Liang is from the Japanese country. He won a poem contest with the most talented woman in Dahua in Dahua. It would not sound good if word spread about it. I am afraid it would have a big impact on the entire Dahua literary world.
Thinking about it, Xia Shang gritted his teeth and said, "Let me compare with you."
At this moment, everyone saw Xia Shang, this handsome and irrational young master. Men always had jealousy in their eyes, and women always had peach blossoms in their eyes. But there was a doubt in everyone's heart -
Who is this person?!
Xia Shang knew that he had little status in the literary world and no one knew him at all.
Except when I first came to this world, I relied on a few copied poems to pretend to be X. Later, I had no idea about this kind of thing.
I’m tired of the profound way of pretending to be X.
However, when I think about the widely circulated "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Plum Blossom", which is regarded as a masterpiece by the talented people in the capital, I still feel very vulgar and secretly happy. There is a kind of legend that "I have not been in the world for many years, but there is always a brother in the world."
A sense of self-sufficiency.
"Who is this person?"
"I think I came here with Miss Lin Qingzhulin just now."
"Then why are you here with Miss Fu now?"
"Most of them are this year's candidates who want to make friends with celebrities in the capital and want to gain fame for themselves. Otherwise, why would you stand up at this time?"
"Are you a fool? How can he compare to someone who even Ouyang Wenxiu is ashamed of?"
"You don't understand this. Who said you have to compete? If you stand up now, you will lose. It is also said that even if you lose, it will be glorious. It will spread in the capital."
"I see, then this guy's thoughts are deep enough!"
During the discussion, Zhang Liang's eyes never fell on Xia Shang, and he asked casually: "Who are you?"
"Xia Chunqiu edited by Hanlin Academy."
"Edited by the Hanlin Academy?"
"This editor's official position is a bit small, but to serve in the Hanlin Academy at such a young age... I didn't expect it."
There was another round of discussion around.
"Xia Chunqiu? Never heard of it! I, Zhang Liang, never compare myself with unknown people."
Xia Shang sneered: "If we talk about unknown people, you seem to be the most unknown guy here, right? Sorry, Fairy Ke won't compare with unknown people."
Xia Shang's words were immediately approved by everyone, and they all agreed: "That's right! Who do you think you are? Why are you comparing yourself to Fairy Ke?"
"Okay, okay..." Zhang Liang nodded and smiled, "Three days later, I, His Highness the Prince of the Holy Kingdom of Japan, will host a banquet at the Qinhe Pavilion in the northern suburbs of the capital, inviting the capital's literati to discuss poetry with the princes and nobles. I, Zhang Liang, will
Representatives of the Japanese Holy Kingdom Mission will discuss poetry with everyone present during the banquet. At that time, let’s see who is the so-called unknown person.”
After saying that, Zhang Liang looked upstairs and said, "Fairy Ke, even if you don't compete today, you won't be able to escape in three days."
Then he said to other people: "If you want to participate, you should go to the Affinity Hall to register on your own, but we have to see if you have the qualifications."
