On the other side of the water pavilion in the center, countless women are looking forward to a certain direction, with great anticipation in their hearts.
In the opposite booth where the competition was taking place, except for a few talented women, almost all of them were men. Given their identities, it was naturally difficult to get close to them.
"You guys say, who will win in the end in this competition?" A pretty woman asked with her hand on her cheek.
"That goes without saying, of course it's Young Master Shen!"
"I also think it's Mr. Shen."
"Yeah, Mr. Shen is so talented, how could he lose to an unknown person?"
The women around spoke one after another, and their thoughts were astonishingly the same.
No one thought that the unknown scholar could surpass Shen Zhao, the second talented person in Qing'an Mansion. After all, Shen Zhao had been famous in Qing'an Manor for a long time. In the hearts of these women, of course he had a higher status.
"But, that young master is not an unknown person!" A young girl interjected.
A woman asked after hearing the words: "By the way, I don't know his name yet, Xiaoyun, do you know?"
The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know what that young master's name is, but when I came over there just now, I heard from them that that young master was the one who wrote "Drinking Alone under the Moon" and "Nian Nujiao" yesterday. people."
"What?"
"It turned out to be that genius!"
Among these women, many of them obviously knew these two poems. They were surprised in their hearts, and said with some hesitation: "If it is that talented man, he may not necessarily lose, but why does Mr. Shen want to How about a poetry competition with that young master?"
It is a very common thing for talented scholars to compete with each other in poetry and prose, and it is not surprising, but generally speaking, if the two have no problems, it will only be a general exchange of ideas, but if they are promoted to the competition If the height is high, it means that the conflict between the two is irreconcilable.
The girl who spoke just now looked around, and said mysteriously: "I heard that Mr. Shen made things difficult for the talented women of the Yunying Poetry Club. As a member of the Yunying Poetry Club, that young master couldn't see Mr. Shen's deeds. So I stood up... Everyone knows what happened after that... "
"Ah, how is it possible, how could Mr. Shen be such a person?"
"I've heard that Shen Zhao is arrogant and narrow-minded before. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect..."
"I suddenly don't want Mr. Shen to win..."
"Me too… "
After the girl's words were confirmed by several women who also knew the truth, the balance in the hearts of these women finally tilted.
And at this moment, a girl dressed as a maid, holding a paper raft in her hand, trotted over from a distance, ran to a certain woman, and handed the paper raft to her panting.
"Any news over there?"
Seeing this, all the women gathered around one after another.
"How, how, who won?"
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it..." The woman cast her eyes on it and whispered, her beautiful eyes suddenly burst into splendor...
Several women leaned closer, and after a while, the same expression as hers appeared on Qiao's face.
"This, is this written by that son?" A moment later, the woman raised her head, looked at the little maid, and asked in disbelief.
"Miss, name, name!"
The little girl trotted all the way just now, panting from exhaustion, she managed to catch her breath, stared at a pair of big eyes, and hurriedly pointed to the lower corner of the paper raft and said.
"Name, what name?"
The young lady who looked like a lady from a great family looked at the direction the little maid was pointing at. The next moment, her beautiful eyes widened involuntarily, her cherry lips parted slightly, and she exclaimed, "Li Yi!"
The word Li Yi was not an unfamiliar name to the women in Qing'an Mansion.
Since the "Magpie Bridge Immortal" came out, I don't know how many young girls who are full of spring, young women who are empty, in the lonely night, in the depths of the empty boudoir, while reciting "If the two feelings are long, how can they be in the morning and evening", while I miss my lover who is not by my side.
Even those girls who have not left the court will still imagine a certain picture in their minds. Perhaps in the boudoir dream at night, they will sometimes dream of the talented man named "Li Yi".
For the women of this era, the talent of a man is undoubtedly a fatal attraction to them, but the appearance is ranked behind.
Of course, if he is a talented person with both good looks and talent, he will definitely be sought after by countless women.
"But Li Yi from "Magpie Bridge Immortal"?"
"Ah, that handsome young master is Li Yi?"
For a moment, countless women raised their heads and looked in the direction of the central water pavilion, their eyes sparkling...
…
…
"I wish you a long life, thousands...thousands of miles together..." Shen Zhao's voice was trembling when he read this, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he suddenly looked up at him, and said in a trembling voice: "You It's "Magpie Bridge Immortal"..."
"If this brother has finished writing, why not hand it over to all the talented scholars for review?" Li Yi looked at him and asked with a smile.
When Shen Zhao heard this, his face turned pale.
He is self-aware, the other party has even brought up such words, so what is the need for review
It's nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation.
"I lost."
Shen Zhao's face was pale, and after squeezing out these words between his teeth, he turned and left.
"Brother, stop!" Seeing that Shen Zhao was about to leave, Li Yi hurriedly called him to stop.
"What else do you want?"
There was a trace of anger on Shen Zhao's face, he had already humiliated in front of everyone today, could the other party still refuse to give up
Li Yi didn't speak, but looked at his waist.
Shen Zhao finally remembered something, his face became more gloomy, he tore off the jade pendant from his waist, and threw it over.
Li Yi hurriedly caught it, if it broke, the three hundred taels of silver would be gone.
When he walked to his desk, Shen Zhao paused, grabbed the poem he had just written, and tore it to pieces.
When all the talents saw the scene of deja vu, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh...
If I knew this earlier, why did I do it in the first place!
Li Yi held the jade pendant in his hand, and thought in his heart that he would go to a pawn shop later. With three hundred taels of silver, he could rent a shop in a slightly more prosperous place in Qing'an Mansion...
At this moment, I saw a pretty girl walking in from the outside, walked up to Li Yi, and asked softly, "Is it Mr. Li Yi if you dare to ask?"
Not knowing what's the matter with this little girl, Li Yi nodded suspiciously.
The girl smiled and handed over a paper raft, and said: "I don't know if the young master will be free tomorrow, but my young lady would like to invite the young master to come over to talk about it."
"This, this seems to be Miss Chen's maid..."
"Miss Chen is the daughter of Lord Chen's family..."
Seeing this scene, expressions of surprise and envy appeared on the faces of these gifted scholars.
Before Li Yi came back to his senses, several girls came in from the outside, and after giving a salute to Li Yi, they spoke softly.
"My young lady admires the young master's talent very much. Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet at the Zuixiang Tower. I wonder if the young master has time?"
"My lady..."
"my home… "
…
…
"That's Miss Chen's maid, that's Lu Qiaoqiao's maid, the top celebrity in Yichun, and even the daughter of Dong Zhifu's family..."
Behind Li Yi, the little prince Li Xuan stared blankly at the scene, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
