Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 167
The so-called "Liu Shang Qu Shui" was first seen in Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface". Later generations thought it was very compelling, so they imitated it one after another. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, it had long been ruined.

The so-called Qushui refers to a meandering small river. The palace has a profound background, and it is possible to produce hot spring water in its own home in a place like Chang'an. It is not known whether it is artificial or natural. On the edge of the spring, accompanied by the exotic flowers and plants that bloom in the cold winter, it seems to be a bit of a fairyland, but it doesn't feel cold.

A servant girl came over at this time and handed a large fork a little more than one meter long to the guest's hand, and saw wooden plates slowly flowing from the source of the hot spring water. There were various brands on the plates. All kinds of fine wine, as well as fruit and vegetable dishes.

This is the so-called flowing water, but it’s not for everyone to compare their forks better. In addition to wine and vegetables, there will be some words on the wooden plate. Guests need to improvise according to the words on the wooden plate. Only when you come out can you get the food and wine on the plate. If two people fall in love with a plate at the same time, it will be better to see whose poem is written.

I saw that Qin Hao had just knelt down on the blanket, and all the young masters on his side dispersed, and all ran to the opposite side of the spring. On the opposite side, a group of young masters knelt in a row, each with their own eyes. Eager to try, full of gunpowder, obviously aimed at himself.

Li Xin was furious. With such a move, it was obvious that he did not intend to let Qin Hao eat.

Qin Hao remained calm as usual, and gently shook Li Xin's hand, signaling to be safe and not to be impatient.

Li Tai smiled and said: "Brother Qin, are you sure about this? Do you want Xiao Wang to help you?"

Qin Hao also smiled and said: "It's a good thing it's not a martial arts competition. If it's a group fight, I'm afraid I'll have to run away."

Li Taidao: "Mr. Qin doesn't know something. After all, this banquet was organized by the Wang family. I'm afraid that people will know about the topic before the food is served. Some staff members even prepared poems early on. If Brother Qin Based on impromptu, I'm afraid I'm really going to go out hungry today."

Qin Hao said to himself: "It's okay, back then Cao Zijian was known as a man of great talent, but Qin was not talented, but he was confident that he would not lose to the ancients, and the prince himself was."

Li Tai's eyes lit up, and a bit of arrogance was aroused in his heart, and he said, "So, Xiao Wang will ask Brother Qin for advice."

After finishing speaking, Li Tai also flicked up his robe, went straight to sit opposite the spring.

Qin Hao saw that there were actually people beside him. Besides Du He, Chai Lingwu and Dai Zhide were also kneeling on his side, which made him slightly surprised.

"Brother Chai."

"Hehe, Brother Qin's talent is unknown to others, so how can I not know about my younger brother? There are so many people on the opposite side, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough if I sit across from him."

Dai Zhide also said: "I feel the same way, I'm still waiting for Brother Qin to drink a glass of wine."

Qin Hao laughed loudly when he heard the words, and at this moment those wooden plates floated in front of his eyes, and he said to Li Xin: "Which one do you want to eat? My husband will help you get it."

Li Xin rolled her eyes and said, "What a thick skin, who are you? I want that pear."

Qin Hao looked over and saw two pears on a plate. On the wooden plate was only written the Chinese character Hua, and there was another hoof.

Generally speaking, the questions on the Liushang Qushui Banquet are from easy to difficult, and the appetizers are all very simple questions, such as flowers and moons. Anyone who has read the book for two years can complete it. A few words, it is not so easy to distinguish the superior, the purpose is to let the scholars with lesser learning can also eat, some truly talented scholars will not make a move at this time, such as Li Tai, see Qin Hao wants to use flowers as the problem here, so he has no intention of getting up at all.

It's a pity that there are only a few of them. Chai Lingwu and Du He are just eating and drinking, and only Dai Zhide can barely complete a few sentences, but he saw a white-faced boy standing up opposite him, and said with a smile: "I'm here to throw bricks and attract jade. Make a fool of yourself."

"The snow in front of the pavilion is vast, and the warm spring water is gurgling. Under the moon, the flowers are blooming, and the Confucian robes are filled with a toast."

On the other side of the river, everyone applauded and applauded when they heard the words. Although this little poem does not contain half a word of flowers, it uses the word "Zhengyan" with a double meaning. It is not only talking about the flowers that can bloom on the bank in winter, but also talking about the flowers that people today This banquet is not about how beautiful it is, but it is more important for the occasion, and it is really difficult to write a strong poem in a short time.

Du He said in a low voice: "This is Xue Guan from the Xue family. He is good at wielding knives and guns, but I have never heard of his literary talent. He probably didn't write the poems himself."

When Qin Hao heard this, he became slightly angry. He was actually from the Xue family. This is really unreasonable. Do you have no idea what the relationship between me and your sister is?Why is the elbow turned outward?Ok. . . .Speaking of which, it seems that Xue Qing and I have nothing to do with each other. Besides, this time I am doing it for Li Xin, so from a certain point of view, there is nothing wrong with him.

After Xue Guan finished reciting the poem, as if he was holding the winning ticket, he stretched out his pole to fork the plate of pears, then he heard Qin Hao chanting: "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, come in the middle of the night, and go in the morning. It comes like a spring dream. Going like a cloud without a place to find.”

While talking, Qin Hao forked the pear away with a fork, and took away the hoof and grape stuffing all at once, and a big bun came out.

Only then did everyone realize that in their poem, there are three words: flower, cloud, and spring, and the artistic conception is much more profound than Xue Guan's, and even satirized them, saying that flowers are not flowers and fog Feiwu is not only talking about artificial hot springs, but also satirizing them as a group of idiots who rely entirely on their staff.

this is. . . .Poems that came up on the spur of the moment?Who are you kidding, this poem can be used for Jinshi examination!
Seeing Qin Hao distributing the hooves to Du He and Chai Lingwu, the pears to Li Xin, and the wine to Dai Zhide, he said with a smile, "Since you are sitting here, Qin always has to take care of the food." yes."

As he said that, Qin Hao saw a few more plates floating on the running water, and there were also wine and vegetables, with the words Feng, Moon, and Autumn written on them.

It was Li Tai who stood up first, and imitated Qin Hao just now and said: "The autumn wind is blowing, the soldiers are starting to go out, and the women in the pass are looking forward to the return of the army under the moon."

After singing, ignoring everyone's applause, Li Tai just stared at Qin Hao with burning eyes, holding the pole in his hand but didn't move, obviously waiting for Qin Hao to retaliate. This song is also a poem with three characters, and It was done impromptu, and Li Taizhi could see the height of it.

Qin Hao said with a smile: "The king of Yue is so talented in writing, I admire him, I admire him, I still congratulate my army on victory today, it would be tiresome to talk about the beauty and beauty, and I also have a poem by Qin, please taste it for the king of Yue .”

"It's a whole month in Chang'an, and thousands of households are pounding clothes. The autumn wind blows endlessly, and it's always the love of Yuguan. When will the barbarians be defeated, and the beloved will stop the expedition."

I thought in my heart, although you, Li Tai, are considered talented and learned, you are much better than me, but unfortunately, Lao Tzu is now possessed by Li Bai.

Li Tai smiled wryly, the intentions of the two poems were similar, his poems only contained resentment, while others wrote majestic poems with a hint of triumph, but they were much better than his poems.

This Li Tai is also a gentleman, so naturally he won't afford to lose, so he cupped his hands to admit defeat, and Qin Hao accepted all three dishes with a smile on his face.

On the other side of the river, dozens of sons watched Qin Hao and the others toast to each other leisurely. Du He and Chai Lingwu gnawed on the hoof and leg of lamb until their mouths were full of oil. They felt a sense of resentment for a while. , Everyone felt a little cold without food in their stomachs.

Who the hell is picking up who?Faintly, everyone had some bad premonitions.

　The two little poems were written by myself, so you can enjoy the rhymes and the like, I didn't elaborate on them.
