The whole city knows we are locked

After making an appointment with Yao Xiazhi, Shen Yu met him.

Yao Xiazhi apologized repeatedly, feeling extremely guilty.Shen Yu only said that it was okay, and at the same time hinted that the family had already made arrangements. Although he didn't intend to make it public, it was not a top secret, so Yao Xiazhi didn't have to take it to heart.

Just as Shen Yu expected, Yao Xiazhi really didn't talk too much about asking what the arrangement was, and made up his own mind - Shen Yu was indeed engaged, and the marriage was very low-key, but he wasn't afraid of letting others know.

It was rare to be alone with Shen Yu, so Yao Xiazhi seized the opportunity to ask him for advice.

When the two of them had almost discussed a topic, they suddenly heard the new guests at the table next to them talking loudly about the new work of Shan Lai Juzhong.Because there was a tall screen between the two tables, Yao Xiazhi and Shen Yu could only hear their voices, but couldn't see their faces.And listening to their chat, the table should be full of Yan Chuyin's younger brothers from the clan.It seems that this group of clan dandies have no intention of concealing their identities.

"Or let's cheat, when will we get that painting!"

"Then I secretly find a few learned people to write poems and participate in the evaluation?"

"Anyway, don't tell me to write, I really can't write! I can't squeeze out a single word!"

"Don't keep your mouth shut and cheat, you don't have to lose our identities! We just spend money to find talented scholars to customize poems, and then help them send them to Shanlaiju to participate in the evaluation. When the evaluation is accepted, the talent name will still be their own. We only We need to take that painting away. It’s not cheating, and we didn’t sign their poems in our own name!”

"That's right! That's the way it is! We don't bother to do things like cheating."

……

A group of dudes are thinking about how to get the painting so that they can be given to Xin Lehou to please him.And the method they came up with is actually feasible.Because more and more people have gone to the mountains to live and write poems recently, many of them did not come to the scene in person, but asked the servants to deliver their poems and recite them in public.

Because the person in the painting is said to be Shen Yu, Yao Xiazhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard that the rich men of the clan were determined to win that painting.But seeing Shen Yu's indifferent look, the embarrassment in Yao Xiazhi's heart gradually dissipated.Cough, in fact, he has already gone to Shanlaiju to join in the fun, and even wrote a poem that was rated as the best.

Yamanoko is very good at working.It is said that he painted the youngest Xie Yuan and Shen Yu in his new work "Deer Ming", but in fact, not many people have seen this painting seriously.The painting was placed on the second floor of Shanlaiju.And the second floor does not entertain guests.If you want to see paintings, you can write poems on the first floor first, and then you can go to the second floor to see paintings after you have made excellent poems.Naturally, the limericks made by the patriarchs of the imperial family were not rated as high-quality, so they couldn't go up to the second floor, let alone take the paintings away.

Yao Xia looked at the painting on the second floor and said in a low voice, "The rumors are unbelievable. "The Singing of the Deer" depicts a panorama of the feast of the singing of the deer, and the person in the center is indeed a handsome young student, but the man is holding a fan and the fan is half open. , I can’t see the whole face at all. I don’t think it’s very similar to Brother Shen. But if you say it’s not like it at all, it’s a bit like it.” To put it bluntly, Shan Yezi is completely “rubbing” Shen Yu’s reputation, not at all. Dare to really take Shen Yu into the painting.

But this wave was indeed "rubbed" by Yamanoko!

Shen Yu's heart moved, and he asked calmly, "That painting...how is it sold?"

Yao Xiazhi said: "It is to write poems. The poems written will be recited in court, and the poems that can be applauded by half of the people are the best poems. Those who write the best poems can go to the second floor to see the paintings; The best poems are the best poems, and the best poems will be copied on the wall, and then we will see which poem gets the most votes...the one with the most gets to draw."

Shen Yu: "..."

Who gave Yan Chuyin the courage to read doggerel in front of everyone?

Does Yinnu want that painting that much?

Cough, in fact, Yan Chuyin didn't recite it herself. If the young master wants to have the pomp of the young master, it's all done by the younger brother.As for the younger brothers, they rushed to join in one by one, cherishing the fluent verses that they came up with together.

It's a pity that most people in the world can't appreciate their fluent sentences!Obviously so smooth!

After separating from Yao Xiazhi, Shen Yu went home and locked herself in the study for an hour.When he left the study room, he took out some ink-blotted papers and handed them to the bookboy Shuangxi: "You go to live in the mountains... Wait, don't go in person. Disguise your identity and find some strange errands." , Send these poems to the mountains to live separately."

The poems were written by Shen Yugang, but none of them signed his name.

Each poem has a pseudonym, and they are all common names such as grass-tree layman and Xingzhou guest.

The reason why he secretly wrote poems was because he thought it was too difficult for Yan Chuyin and his younger brothers, so he wanted to help Yan Chuyin get the painting.But as the person in the painting in the rumors, if he used his real name to write poems...it would look very strange!

Even when ordering Shuangxi to do something, Shen Yu felt a little embarrassed in his heart.Fortunately, Shuangxi would never make fun of the master, he would do whatever the master ordered, and Shen Yu's embarrassment continued to deepen.

In the evening, Shuangxi, who had been running outside for most of the day, came back.Shen Yu asked, "How about poetry?"

"It's very popular. Everyone praises every poem." Shuangxi said honestly.

"That painting..."

Shuangxi shook his head: "But the poems are only top-notch, not up to the standard of top-notch, and have not been copied on the wall." Only the top-notch poems copied on the wall can enter the final selection, and those who participated in the painting scramble.

Shen Yu: "..."

Not that Shen Yu is conceited, but this is incredible.His elaborate works, in order not to make people think that the poems were written by himself, he tried his best to change the style. The style of each poem is different, but no matter how the style changes, the theme of the poem is clear and the conception is clear. They are all far-reaching, the words are beautiful, and the allusions are ingenious... One of the poems is closely related to the theme of "Luming Banquet", describing the court's eagerness to seek talents, and longing for the world to return to its heart The grand scene.Another poem was written as a scholar who participated in the Lu Ming Banquet, expressing the spirit in my chest, and it is a poem of determination.There is another song that expresses love in terms of scenery, starting from autumn...

Shen Yu really felt that these few poems he had written were all good, and there were no bad ones, but it turned out that he didn't even have a single top-notch poem?Are Yamanoko's paintings so hard to grab?Is the competition so fierce?How many scholars have gone to the mountains to live and write poems?Shen Yu asked: "How many songs are there on the wall? Have you copied them? Show me."

Shuangxi really copied it, and took out the paper from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Yu.

After Shen Yu watched the first song, the expression on his face disappeared.

Looking at the song again, the eyes gradually became straight.

watch one more...

Shuangxi said distressedly: "It's not that you can't write well, it's that they prefer this kind of poem. Only when you write this kind of poem can you be judged as top-notch..." If you really want that painting, my lord, otherwise we Also try?

What is Shan Lai Juzhong's most popular poem?

love poems!Boudoir poetry!

As long as you describe how cute the person in the painting is, and how much I yearn for it, it will basically be stable.And if you write how much I yearn for it, but I can't get it after tossing and turning, then it will be even more stable!

Shuangxi also inquired into other news: "In recent days, more and more people have sent poems to the mountains, but they all sent their servants to deliver them. Generally, the authors of poems like this are basically The daughter-in-law is gone."

It's not good for female relatives to go out with great fanfare to "snatch" a painting of a man, so they can only send their servants to come forward.It is also because of this that they have set the basic tone for the selection of Shanlaiju. Whose poems are more lingering, and whose poems are more sad, with thousands of knots between the lines, that poem will be rated as the best.

No matter how well written other types of poetry are, they can only be top-notch.

Shen Yu looked at Shuangxi quietly.

Shuangxi nodded vigorously: "Really, I'm not lying to you!"

Shen Yu: "..."

It's definitely a novel experience.Shen Yu never thought that one day, he would write a poem of resentment, and the object of resentment would still be himself!Once this matter gets out... no, absolutely not.

About half a month later, Shen Yu successfully obtained "Deer Ming".

It's not easy, this painting is finally in my hands!It was not taken by others.

But holding the painting, Shen Yu had new troubles.

This painting was what Yan Chuyin wanted, but should I send it to him?It is definitely useless for Shen Yu to keep it by himself. Although Yamanoko is good at portraying characters, his overall style is not what Shen Yu likes.Besides, although this "Luming" is a group portrait painting, the figure in the middle still has some charm of him. Why did he keep such a painting in his study?He is not the kind of person who is addicted to self-appreciation!But if you send the painting to Yan Chuyin, Yinnu will know that the painting is in his hands... Shen Yu couldn't help shivering.

Shuangxi said quietly: "Fortunately, I made a disguise that day, and I purposely found a stranger to run errands, so I didn't personally deliver the poem. Now the whole city is looking for the girl 'Mei Zhongxian'...it's terrible..." Shutong has been with Shen Yu for so many years, and he has consciously learned a lot. He can learn to be calm, but... he can't be calm!

Why did things develop like this!

Mei Zhongxian's poem is so well written, every word is full of affection, and every sentence expresses sincerity.After reading the poem, everyone felt that if the painting was not given to Mei Zhongxian, the fairy would die in tears.

Shan Yezi even said that if there are three thousand loves in the world, Mei Zhongxian monopolizes two thousand and eight!

The scholar recited the poem over and over again.This Mei Zhongxian had no reputation before, many well-known talented women in the capital, their style does not match this poem... Her only work is written on the wall of Shanlaiju.What is this like?It's like her swan song!She wrote it with all her might!Just like her pseudonym Mei Zhongxian, she only blooms quietly in quiet places. People can't find her trace in the snowflakes all over the sky, but can only smell a few wisps of fragrance.After over-interpretation by scholars, this kind of poem adds a poignant meaning.

Scholars admire Mei Zhongxian's talent and her deep affection.

The young Xie Yuan who was loved by Mei Zhongxian... how lucky he must be!

--------

Shen Yu: ...

I don't really want this luck.

Okay, now what the hell is going to do with this damn painting?
