Yang Yi naturally wouldn't stand behind a woman. He frowned and said,"What does Young Master Zhao want?"
Zhao Mingcheng was stunned and thought to himself, This person is really a maniac who doesn't know manners.
He lightly said," This is a scholarly event. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. If Brother Yang wants to enter, I will give you a few entrance questions. If you can answer them, Brother Yang can naturally enter."”
These words were reasonable and well-founded, and there was nothing wrong with them.
The surrounding people nodded secretly. Many Lil 'Miss' eyes moved, so charming that water could drip out.
Zhao Mingcheng's father, Zhao Tingzhi, was appointed as the assistant minister of Zuo Cheng's book at this time.
His family background was extraordinary. Zhao Mingcheng was handsome and had a refined expression. He could be called a modest gentleman and was even a student of the Imperial College. He was definitely a tall, rich, and handsome man from ancient times.
It was no wonder that these young ladies were so excited.
Although Li Qingzhao was angry at Zhao Mingcheng for making things difficult for him, there was nothing wrong with his words. Of course, another reason was that Li Qingzhao had confidence in Yang Yi.
A hundred words in a cup of tea, neat and tidy, with a myriad of scenes, even she had to sigh at her inferiority.
Yang Yi's expression was indifferent. Even though Zhao Mingcheng was making things difficult for him, he did not care at all. His boldness caused the eyes of many to light up.
Yang Yi stretched out his hand and said,"Young Master Zhao, please come up with a question."”
Zhao Mingcheng pondered for a moment before looking at the youth in front of him."The first question is to start with the couplet. The south bridge is like a shuttle, weaving the brocade in the river.”
Zhao Mingcheng's knowledge wasn't shallow, so he thought for a moment and came up with a couplet.
Everyone was deep in thought. Li Qingzhao raised her eyebrows. This couplet wasn't difficult for her, and she didn't know if Yang Yi could match it. She was looking forward to it.
Yang Yi's expression did not change. He paced back and forth a few steps,""A tower at the end of the west bank is like a pen, writing directly into the sky.”
Li Qingzhao clapped his hands and smiled.”
The surrounding people discussed animatedly. Clearly, they did not expect this shabbily dressed kid to be so quick-witted.
Zhao Mingcheng's expression did not change, but he was slightly surprised.
He did not expect Yang Yi to answer so quickly. His heart was solemn. At this moment, he had already placed Yang Yi in an equal position with him.
This time, he pondered for a long time. When Yang Yi was slightly impatient, he slowly said,"Young Master Yang's thinking is quick. I have another couplet, take two rivers, arrange eight formations, six out seven capture, and five zhang plains with forty-nine lanterns.”
Even Li Qingzhao was slightly surprised by this couplet. The first half of the couplet contained one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and ninety. It was quite difficult to match them in a short period of time.
Moreover, this was under the watchful eyes of everyone. If someone with a slightly weaker psychological quality was here, they would probably be flustered, let alone match the couplet.
She looked at Yang Yi with slight worry, only to see that his expression was relaxed. He grinned at her, his teeth extremely white.
Li Qingzhao blushed and rolled his eyes at him. This man was so relaxed, and he was worried about him.
The two of them exchanged glances, and Zhao Mingcheng saw it. His expression did not look good, but he still maintained his gentlemanly appearance. However, his fists clenched even tighter.
Yang Yi teased Li Qingzhao for a while and said happily,"I have it. Young Master Zhao, listen carefully. He pacified the western Shu, pacified the southern barbarians, made peace with the east and resisted the North. The central army camp changed its mind, and the earth, wood and gold lines appeared. The water surface could be attacked by fire.”
Zhao Mingcheng's expression changed, and he said unnaturally,""This Zhao admires Young Master Yang for being able to think of such a good match in such a short period of time.”
"Oh?" Yang Yi said lightly. In that case, can I go in now?”
Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said," Couplets are just a small trick. This is a poetry contest. I have one more question. If Young Master Yang can pass it, I have nothing to say."”
"Please speak, Young Master Zhao," Yang Yi said.
Zhao Mingcheng said with ill intentions," Grand Scholar Su once used the divination operator as a Ci to create a masterpiece. Brother Yang, how about using this divination operator as the title and filling in the old Ci?"”
There seemed to be nothing wrong with his words, but in fact, he had sinister intentions. He mentioned Su Shi's name and that ancient term.
If Yang Yi were to do divination now, he would definitely be compared.
Who is Su Shi?
In the literary world, there was almost no one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Su Shi.
Yang Yi was just an ordinary scholar, how could he compare to Su Shi's poems?
Yang Yi was stunned. He immediately recalled that Su Shi's divination operator was that one:
The moon is missing and hanging on the sparse paulownia trees, the gap is broken and the people are at first quiet. At that time, I saw a secluded man walking alone, like a lonely shadow.
Startled, I turned my head, full of hatred, but no one knew. Picking up all the cold branches refused to perch, lonely sandbar cold.
To use divination as a name for a poem, one really had to have some courage.
Everyone naturally understood the reason behind this and discussed it for a while.
"Young Master Zhao, it's just an entrance question. Is there a need to go through so much trouble?" Li Qingzhao said coldly.”
She was a smart person, so how could she not see through Zhao Mingcheng's intentions?
At this moment, he felt that this person was narrow-minded and difficult to accommodate.
Zhao Mingcheng felt bitter in his heart, but there was nothing he could say. He could only vent his anger on Yang Yi.
"Young Master Yang, if you can't do it, you don't have to force yourself.”Zhao Mingcheng said "kindly".
