Chapter 45 Slap Wei Zhongdao in the Face
Seeing Zhang Yu, the three of them couldn't help showing suspicion, because Zhang Yu was too young.
The three were silent for a while, and it was hard to judge for a while.
There are geniuses in this world, but they don't believe that they just happen to appear in front of their eyes.
"Three teachers, this is Zhang Zifan. My nephew boldly suggested that the teachers be asked to write questions." Wei Zhongdao came out again and said.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all knew what Wei Zhongdao was going to do. In the past, they might have stopped him.
But this time, none of them came out to stop him, because they also wanted to test Zhang Yu's true level and see if he wrote the humble room inscription or if it was stolen.
The scene was silent for a while, and then Zheng Xuan stood up and said: "Since everyone wants to make friends through poetry, then I will give you a question."
Zheng Xuan is a teacher and learner, and he dislikes academic fraud the most. If Zhang Yu doesn't show some skills today, it is conceivable that Zhang Yu's reputation will be very bad in a short time.
Zheng Xuan thought for a while, looked around, and happened to see a few lotus flowers that were about to wither in the pond of Cai Yong's house.
"We will use a few lotus plants in this pond as the title. Everyone can freely play, articles and poems can be anything."
As soon as Zheng Xuan said, the people below began to think, while the three elders sat in the gazebo and waited quietly.
"Ding~ Task reminder: The host can get +20 prestige respectively if they get the favor of Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi, and Cai Yong, and get +50 prestige respectively if they get their approval."
As soon as the topic came up, the system's voice also sounded. Like Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong last time, as long as they got their favor and recognition, they could get prestige rewards.
This is because they are very influential, and getting their approval is equivalent to getting the approval of a large number of people.
"For the sake of reputation, I have to fight." Zhang Yu said secretly.
At the beginning of the competition, everyone was thinking hard, hoping to make an outstanding masterpiece.
Although Wei Zhongdao had been prepared for a long time, he couldn't control the way of presenting the questions on the spot, so he had to show his real skills.
Then someone began to answer the questions, most of them were poetry, the level was average, but not too bad.
After four or five people did it, everyone didn't make any further noises. Anyone with a discerning eye understood that Wei Zhongdao was provoking, so I left time for them.
When everyone stopped answering the questions, they all looked at Wei Zhongdao and Zhang Yu.
Wei Zhongdao slowly stretched his brows, obviously already prepared.
Zhang Yu also thought about the answer, but he was not in a hurry, since Wei Zhongdao said the trick, let him do it.
Under the attention of everyone, Wei Zhongdao began to read his poems.
"well."
"Good poetry."
"Young Master Wei is indeed a famous talent of the younger generation."
"Young Master Wei should be a role model for my generation."
As soon as Wei Zhongdao finished reading his poems, everyone began to flatter them. Maybe some people were just trying to curry favor with the Wei family, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, if Wei Zhongdao's works were too bad, no one would dare to brag about them so blatantly.
After the excitement, everyone looked at the three great scholars, wanting to hear their comments.
"That's right, the characteristics of the lotus are written very delicately." Lu Zhi commented.
Wei Zhongdao was delighted that he could make Lu Zhi say something good, why wouldn't Wei Zhongdao be delighted.
"Well, Wei Xiaoyou is able to write the posture of the lotus so beautifully, it is indeed accomplished." Zheng Xuan also commented.
Wei Zhongdao was even more delighted in his heart, and gave Zhang Yu a provocative look. Both Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan gave good comments on his poems, which of course made him proud.
"Well, my nephew's poems are not bad, but there is a lot of room for improvement. I hope my nephew will work harder." As the master, Cai Yong has a good relationship with the Wei family, so he is not praised very highly.
But the appreciation and affirmation in the words are clear to everyone,
It's just that Cai Yong couldn't speak too clearly because of his status.
"Miss, how about the poems of Mr. Wei's family?" One of the two little girls hiding beside the rockery in the distance asked.
"It's good. It feels like I'm describing a beautiful painting. It just makes me feel that something is missing, and it's something very important."
It was Cai Yan who was hiding behind the rockery, Cai Yan was biting her little finger, and said cutely.
"Miss, I think the poems written by the young master of the Wei family must be good. I didn't see that everyone agreed." Said Cai Yan's maid.
Cai Yan's little head nodded, it was extremely cute, she couldn't think of what was missing, so she simply didn't think about it.
Wei Zhongdao was well received, and everyone looked at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was very calm, standing in the middle with Wei Zhongdao.
"Brother Zhang was admired by the three teachers very early on, and he is also a role model for my generation. Brother Zhang will definitely be able to make another masterpiece like "Humble Room Inscription"."
Wei Zhongdao punished Zhang Yu every word, although he was praising Zhang Yu, he was indeed driving Zhang Yu to a dead end.
No matter how good his poems are, as long as he does not reach the height of the humble room inscription, then he is a failure. If he does worse than Wei Zhongdao, then his reputation will be completely stink.
"Okay, since everyone appreciates it, and Brother Wei admires it so much, I will make a song and let the three teachers comment on it with everyone. Brother Wei is welcome to point out any shortcomings."
Wei Zhongdao tripped Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu naturally wanted to fight back.
Zhang Yu has always been very calm, and this calmness made the three Confucian scholars look a little sideways.
"The flowers of water, land, grass and trees are very cute. Chu Quyuan only loved chrysanthemums. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the world has loved peony. Yu Du loves lotus flowers that emerge from the mud without staining, clear and rippling but not demonic, straight in the middle and straight in the outside. The vines are not branched, the fragrance is far and clear, and the pavilions are clean and planted, which can be viewed from a distance but not to be played with.
I call chrysanthemum, the recluse of flowers; peony, the rich and noble of flowers; lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Alas! The love of chrysanthemum is rarely heard of the queen. The love of lotus, who is the same giver? The love of peony is suitable for everyone! "
Zhang Yu slowly read out Ai Lian that he "plagiarized", but changed Tao Yuanming to Qu Yuan, because Tao Yuanming was not born yet, and changed from Wei Jin to Qin Hanlai.
"A good one comes out of the mud and is not stained." Lu Zhi stood up immediately and said excitedly.
Lu Zhi was honest and upright all his life. Otherwise, when the Yellow Turbans were being exterminated, the Xiaohuangmen asked him for bribes, and he would not refuse, and he was eventually imprisoned and sent to Luoyang.
"It comes out of the mud without being stained, and it is clear and clean without being a demon. This sentence will surely be passed down through the ages." Zheng Xuan also stood up, and said excitedly and sighed.
"Nephew Zhang Xian is indeed a great talent. As soon as this poem comes out, let alone young talents, no one can compare to those who are about to go to earth." Cai Yong generously gave Zhang Yu the best evaluation.
What Cai Yong gave was "no one can compare in the world", which is not a high evaluation, but Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan also nodded in agreement.
Wei Zhongdao, who was beside him, was stunned and did not react at all.
