I sold snacks in ancient times

The scene was a little boiling for a while.The capital is located deep inland, coupled with the emperor's sea ban policy, the people present have almost never seen such a big fish.

The same was true for some experienced boatmen, all of whom stared wide-eyed at the big fish that was still jumping on the deck.

Qi Yongfan asked Ye Zi to call the captain, and asked them to quickly drag the fish into the kitchen and cook it.There is no refrigerator here, and the weather is hot. When the fish dies, it will soon become stale.

The Thirteenth Prince suddenly realized: "It turns out that you disappeared for half a year because you went fishing."

The corners of Qi Yongfan's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't want to answer him.In fact, what the thirteenth prince said was right. During the leisure time he spent in the countryside, he often fished for shrimps.

While talking, the fifth prince and the seventh prince also came over.There is an unembarrassing distance between these two people, giving people the illusion that if they appear at the same time, they will set off a bloodbath.

The Fifth Prince stood beside Qi Yongfan first, and said with a smile: "My son-in-law is really lucky. I have tried fishing on this Luolong Lake many times, but nothing has been found."

Looking closely, Qi Yongfan discovered that the eldest prince had dark circles under his eyelashes and some freckles on his face, which slightly discounted his tough appearance.

Looking at the calm lake, he replied: "It's just that I was a little playful when I was young."

The fifth prince said again: "If the son-in-law is still playful in childhood, where will we be placed? You are a 12-year-old child prodigy who passed the exam..."

Qi Yongfan almost forgot that Qi Yong's childhood was different from his.He has been undisciplined since he was a child, and his parents ignored his teachers and let him play wild in the countryside.

When I was a child, my grandma hadn't gone yet.When the sun goes down, when he is tired from playing, he will go back with a basket of fish and shrimp.Grandma would cook delicious fish soup for him, and squat in the courtyard after meals to wash his dirty clothes.

Later, when he went to a big city, he realized that his childhood life had long since disappeared, and it became a history in textbooks, admonishing future generations.

The seventh prince seemed to know that he couldn't grab the fifth prince, so he didn't go forward to strike up a conversation.In other words, during the meal just now, Qi Yongfan's words and deeds made him very upset.

After observing like this, Qi Yongfan suddenly felt that the Fifth Prince had a better chance of winning the crown.

The Seventh Prince gave people the impression that he was childish, with expressions of joy and anger, far inferior to the Fifth Prince's modesty, courtesy and profound city.

Of course, this is just the surface that Qi Yongfan sees. If you think about it carefully, you will know that if the seventh prince is really like this, he will not be able to form a tripartite competition with the fifth prince.

Through Yin Xu, Qi Yongfan understood one thing, people here are very good at pretending.And it's not a normal outfit.

Look at the fifth prince, who secretly reported to the emperor and slandered the princess in various ways, but treated the son-in-law with courtesy and heart-to-heart on such an occasion.

At the same time, the seventh prince walked around to the other side of the deck and patted Su Su on the shoulder.

Almost all the civil and military officials who came to participate in the poetry meeting have already stood in line.Su Su was cultivated by the Seventh Prince.

"I heard that you used to have a good relationship with the son-in-law?" The Seventh Prince had a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes were extremely sinister. With that kind of baby face, he was inexplicably creepy in the night.

Su Su didn't dare to look at him, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Qi Yong... he didn't have a good relationship with anyone before."

Seeing that the Seventh Prince's face was not good-looking, he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's a friendship between gentlemen, it's as light as water."

The Seventh Prince snorted coldly, leaned his back against the railing, and said sarcastically: "Just because of the bad things you have done, how dare you call yourself a gentleman?"

Su Su smiled and said: "You are, you are the gentleman, I'm just a little bit of light."

"I'm a villain." The Seventh Prince snarled, "I don't want to be a hypocrite like Fifth Brother."

Su Su: "Besides, Qi Yong really suffers from the disease of losing his soul."

"Oh?" The Seventh Prince was a little interested, "I've heard the rumors in the market, but I didn't expect it to be true?"

Su Su: "I met him at the pier just now, but he didn't recognize me."

The Seventh Prince was thoughtful, "Your poems have always been good, do you have the confidence to compare with him this time?"

Su Su smiled, and said: "If it was before, I might not be sure. But since Qi Yong has the disease of losing his soul, he will definitely be affected. This time, he will definitely win the crown for the prince!"

"Well, not bad." The Seventh Prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you really can get the first place, you can go to the palace to pay 1000 taels of silver."

"Thank you, my lord!" Su Su hurriedly thanked him, his face beaming with joy.

……

The Fifth Prince and Qi Yongfan stood on the deck, chatting casually for a while with the pleasant cool breeze blowing.

The original owner was not familiar with the fifth prince, so Qi Yongfan was not afraid of being found out and lost his memory, he kept smiling and nodding perfunctorily, and finally waited for the opening of the poetry meeting.

So everyone on the deck huffed and returned to the mysterious room.At this time, the grilled fish was also ready. For such a large fish, it was divided into more than a dozen large pots and distributed to everyone.

It is said that the cook on this boat today is the home cook of the Fifth Prince, and his craftsmanship is comparable to that of an imperial cook.

Qi Yongfan tasted a few mouthfuls, and felt that although it was not as delicious as his cooking, it was still very good.Freshly caught and cooked, the advantage is that the fish is very fresh.

After eating for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, the fifth prince stood up, held the wine glass, and said loudly: "Everyone who comes here today is a literati respected by this king! Enjoy the night view, taste this fine wine, taste this Good fish, this king has the guts to come up with a title of 'Summer Night'!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, winning the applause of the whole house.

At the right time, a young servant brought up the prizes, wrapped in red cloth, in five large boxes.When I opened it, I saw that it was 1000 taels of gleaming gold.The other side is said to be a centuries-old inkstone used by the famous poet Huangyan.

Dayin's cultural level and historical trend are completely different from Qi Yongfan's, so he doesn't know who this Huang Yan is.

However, listening to the excited discussions of the people around, I think this Huang Yan should be a great poet like Li Bai and Bai Juyi.

This antique inkstone made everyone gear up, and the thousand taels of gold made their blood boil even more.

The people under the fifth prince desperately wanted to get the reward, and then make him pay more attention to themselves.

And the Seventh Prince's subordinates desperately wanted to take the first place, slapping each other in the face frantically, in order to elevate their master's status.

Qi Yongfan couldn't help feeling a little moved.According to the current market price, one tael of gold can almost be exchanged for ten taels of silver. This is ten thousand taels of silver! !

It is not too easy to earn 1 taels for a single poem.

There are a bit too many people in the venue.The maids and servants ran back and forth in turn, and it took a while to get everyone's pens, inks, papers and inkstones ready.

Except for the Ninth Prince, none of the other princes ended up composing poems.After all, not all princes are good at writing poems, what they learned most from elementary school is actually how to govern the country.

The Ninth Prince is the most elegant, shaking a paper fan painted with landscape paintings, with a just-right smile on his handsome face, splashing ink with an extraordinary demeanor.

Looking straight at the maid next to her, her eyes were almost full of peach blossoms, she was extremely admiring.

The title "Summer Night" is a bit ordinary, and perhaps many people present have already guessed it, and they began to think hard when they boarded the boat, preparing for writing poems.

At first glance, many people didn't even think about it, so they wrote the poems with excitement, flushed with the excitement of being able to get No.1.

Qi Yongfan thought for a while.After all, the Tang poems and Song lyrics he memorized were too complicated, and it was really difficult for him to sort out the ones about "Summer Night" from the [-] poems.

His frowning and pensive appearance fell into the eyes of some caring people, and they interpreted another meaning.

When Su Su heard the title "Summer Night", Su Su was secretly happy.He had already guessed it when he learned about the night tour in the middle of the lake, and prepared a poem of his own, but he felt that it was not very well written.

He had seen Qi Yong's private collection of poems by chance before, and it happened to be about Xia Ye.

Now that Qi Yong has lost his soul and doesn't remember anything, then he took that summer night poem, pieced it together, and tampered with it, so no one would find out...

One must know that Qi Yong's title of "little poet sage" is definitely not in vain.

Looking at Qi Yongfan's "destroyed" appearance, Su Su believes that he will definitely win the first place this time!

Half an hour passed in a flash, and the fifth prince ordered to collect the poems.

Qi Yongfan finished writing too. His handwriting was too bad, and he was afraid that others would see his flaws, so he excused his hand injury and asked Ye Zi to write for him.It is a famous poem by Du Fu.

After Ye Zi saw it, she was full of praise.

A stack of thick poems was collected and commented by several princes.They may not be able to write good poems, but they have profound knowledge and vicious eyes over the years.

Most of the papers were thrown at the feet, and in the end, there were only five poems for the princes to appreciate together.

The Eighth Prince did not participate in the selection because he ended up writing poems.But his poems were undoubtedly selected. He stood beside the princes and saw these five poems before others.

His eyes froze on one of the poems, his face was full of shock, and he immediately shouted: "Who wrote this good poem? It is enough to be passed down through the ages!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Qi Yongfan touched his chin.

On the other hand, Su Su straightened his chest and smiled confidently.

The fifth prince nodded, and said with a smile: "This poem is really good, and it beats eighth brother."

"Oh?" The Seventh Prince sneered, "Why do I think the Eighth Brother writes better?"

The Eighth Prince tugged at the sleeve of the Seventh Prince, signaling him to stop talking.

The Seventh Prince was a little impatient, and said in a low voice: "I am trying to save face for you, what are you doing?"

The Eighth Prince shook his head, sighed softly, "I'm ashamed of myself."

Seventh Prince: "..."

The lords' open and secret fights have attracted everyone's attention.A poem that can make the Eighth Prince feel ashamed, what kind of peerless poem is it?

After the final selection, the princes reached a consensus.The fifth prince straightened his clothes, stood up, looked at Qi Yongfan, smiled slightly, and said: "The first name of this poetry meeting is our new son-in-law!"

"What?? The champion Lang Qiyong from the year before last?"

"I guessed it a long time ago, he is a little poet."

"Worthy of being the No. [-] scholar..."

"Hurry up and publish the poem!!"

There was a lot of noise in the audience, everyone clamored to read Qi Yong's poems.

Su Su's face turned blue, he looked at Qi Yongfan, and thought to himself that he was suffering from soul-loss disease, didn't he forget to write poems?

"Everyone be quiet!" The Fifth Prince coughed and said, "I will read this poem to everyone myself!"
