A Woman Dressed As A Man, Li Zhi!
More and more students came, and it didn't take long for the restaurant to be overcrowded.
Everyone crowded around a round platform, and whispers of conversation rose and fell.
On both sides of the round platform were a circle of tables. On the tables, there was a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Chu Yi also joined in the fun and squeezed over, standing in front.
On the round platform, there were three teachers who looked like judges. The shopkeeper stood at the side with a smile on his face. Seeing more and more people, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up and fly into the sky.
After all, the more people there were, the more he would earn. The purpose of this activity was almost achieved.
Chu Yi saw his expression and his heart was as clear as a mirror.
In the current dynasty, it was considered a supreme honor for a poem he wrote to be hung on the wall of a restaurant for guests to appreciate. Moreover, there was also a reward of five taels of silver.
Even though the restaurant's announcement said that it was inviting scholars for a gathering and an event, it was actually a promotion for the restaurant's grand opening.
He had seen many of these things before he transmigrated, so he could see through the boss's thoughts.
He couldn't help but shake his head slightly. If he didn't want to join in the fun, he wouldn't have come to help the boss increase the number of people.
At this moment, the shopkeeper spoke up." Alright, everyone, please be quiet. The poetry meet has officially begun. Let me explain the rules.”
The audience instantly fell silent.
The shopkeeper then said," I'm sure everyone has a preliminary understanding of this activity. The top three can hang their poems on the walls of the shop for guests to appreciate.
However, there are requirements for composing poems. You have to compose poems according to the requirements and present them to the three judges behind me. Only those who rank in the top three can receive the reward from the shop.”
"What are the requirements?" someone in the crowd asked.”
When someone asked, someone else echoed.
The crowd was in chaos again.
The shopkeeper quickly raised his hand to signal for them to be quiet. When they were quiet, he said," Actually, the request is very simple. Write a poem on the topic of success and fame. Write your poem on paper within an incense stick's time and let the three gentlemen judge it.”
The whispers of conversation exploded in the crowd again.
The shopkeeper announced the official start with a smile.
However, no one dared to take the pen for a long time.
Chu Yi had been observing the expressions of every scholar present as if he was watching a show.
It was at this moment that he suddenly felt a collision behind him.
Chu Yi was shocked. He turned around and saw a skinny little scholar pulling a little errand boy behind him.
The little scholar hurriedly adjusted his hat and looked up at him apologetically.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's too crowded.”
She even giggled as she spoke.
Chu Yi didn't say anything and just nodded. Looking at the figure of the scholar in front of him, it could be said to be enchanting.
He seemed to have understood something at once, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
As a man, no matter how thin he was, he could not have such a figure. Therefore, the two of them should be women dressed as men.
He stared at the scholar in a daze, his thoughts flying.
The scholar also felt his gaze meet his, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
" Hehe." The scholar smiled embarrassedly and asked," Brother, what are you doing here?" Why is it so lively?"
Chu Yi explained generously," This restaurant has just opened and is holding a poetry contest to attract guests. They say that they will write poems for you to judge within 15 minutes. The top three will be able to hang their poems on the wall of the restaurant for guests to appreciate. They will also receive an additional five taels of silver.”
The scholar nodded in realization and pulled the errand boy over to whisper something.
The errand boy looked flustered and absent-minded.
"Young…Young Master, this…this isn't good.”
"What's not good about it?" The scholar raised his eyebrows. You just need to remember what I said.”
"Alright then." The errand boy reluctantly agreed.
What could his master do? He could only indulge her.
He squeezed out with difficulty and went upstairs.
Chu Yi had been paying attention to the two short scholars and the errand boy.
Seeing the errand boy leave, he curiously approached the scholar beside him and asked,"Hey, little brother, where did your little errand boy go?"”
The scholar was looking around curiously. When he heard Chu Yi say this, his lips curled into a smile," Oh, I asked her to do something for me.”
After pausing for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, the scholar said,"Oh right, brother, may I know your name?"”
Chu Yi nodded politely." I'm Chu Yi. If you don't mind, you can call me Big Brother Chu."”
"Haha, alright, Big Brother Chu."
"Then what's your name?"
"I'm, uh, Li Zhi. Nice to meet you.”
Chu Yi said meaningfully.
The scholar smiled at him and continued to look around.
That's right, she was Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, and that little errand boy was her personal maid, Yun Hua.
The two of them disguised themselves as eunuchs and slipped out of the palace. They changed into men's clothes and started playing around.
When he passed by the entrance of this restaurant, he saw that it was particularly lively inside. He walked in, just like Chu Yi, with the intention of joining in the fun.
However…
Ever since the shopkeeper announced the official start of the event, no one had come forward to take the pen.
Chu Yi wanted to see how educated these so-called Great Tang students were, but he didn't have the chance.
He frowned and thought,"Why don't I go and take the lead?"
However, just as he thought this, someone stood out from the crowd and took out a brush to write a four-line poem on the Xuan paper hesitantly.
Since childhood thorns in the deep grass, now gradually feel out of the grass.
At that time, people did not know Lingyun wood, only to Lingyun began to say high.
The people who were close to them all praised.
"This brother wrote well. It's casual and unruly, but it's extremely charming.”
"Not bad, not bad. I think he will definitely be in the top three this time.”
The person who wrote the poem smiled modestly. He put down his pen and handed the paper to the judge.
As a result, someone took the lead. After that person handed over the paper, people in the crowd took out pens and wrote down their masterpieces.
Chu Yi took a look at them. Some of them were well-written, but some were not.
His interest could not help but be polished away. He squeezed out of the crowd and sat in his original seat to drink a little wine.
Just as Li Lizhi was enjoying the show, she suddenly noticed that Chu Yi had left. She looked at the stands, turned around, and squeezed out of the crowd.
Sitting at the same table as Chu Yi, Li Lizhi asked in confusion,"Brother Chu, why aren't you watching anymore?"?How interesting is that?"
