You Are Chu Yi?
Everyone gasped when they heard this.
Wasn't this too exaggerated?
This poem was indeed well-known, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it had been reduced to a poem that would last through the ages.
However, it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that his calligraphy was comparable to Wang Xizhi's!
Who was Wang Xizhi?
He was the Sage of Calligraphy, who could not be bought with a single word.
And today, someone actually said that Chu Yi's calligraphy was on par with Wang Xizhi's?
"Elder Chen, although you're highly respected, you can't just speak nonsense.”
"That's right. Even if he's extraordinary, who is Wang Xizhi?？”
Old Chen shook his head and said calmly,""Foolish."
After saying this, Old Chen handed the Xuan paper to the shopkeeper.
Since the shopkeeper could think of using poetry to liven things up, he was definitely not an illiterate person.
The shopkeeper had seen Chu Yi's poem and handwriting and could not help but praise it. This was the best calligraphy he had ever seen!
However, he didn't give Old Chen such a high affirmation. After all, although the shopkeeper was a cultured person, he was still a businessman.
After hearing Elder Chen's words, the judges couldn't help but look at Chu Yi's handwriting. He was truly convinced!
What was a talent? This was it!
Just now, they were too focused on the poem to notice that Chu Yi's handwriting was so outstanding.
After reading Chu Yi's handwriting, the students were convinced again.
In order to let the scholars know that there was no inside story, the shopkeeper let the scholars pass it on to each other.
The scholars had thought that Bi Jian and Wang Xizhi were exaggerating, but now they realized that it was true.
Chu Yi saw everyone's reaction and laughed to himself. He was a person from the 21st century, so it was not a problem for him to have a lot of knowledge!
Furthermore, there was the system's cheat. Who could be stronger than Chu Yi?？
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone finally stopped. Their faces were filled with expressions of submission.
"I've never heard of this Young Master Chu Yi. He's actually so powerful. I admit defeat in this round!”
"This young master will definitely become famous in the world, and his poems will be passed down for thousands of years!”
"It would be great if I could marry this person!”
Old Chen coughed, and everyone slowly quieted down.
Old Chen said to the few gentlemen and the participating scholars,""Everyone, do you have any objections?”
Everyone shook their heads. The shopkeeper was even more straightforward."If Young Master Chu Yi takes first place, no one would dare to take second place!”
Another judge also said," It's well-deserved. Because I think not only is the poem well-deserved, but even the calligraphy is also first."”
The shopkeeper was a businessman, so he naturally knew how to maximize his profits.
Seeing that everyone said so, the shopkeeper pushed the water boat and said,"Then copy Young Master Chu Yi's calligraphy and carve this poem in my restaurant!”
Elder Chen nodded, satisfied with the result.
However, everyone still had a question.
Who was Chu Yi?
So far, no one has jumped out. Logically speaking, Shi has already been praised to this extent. Shouldn't you jump out quickly to gain both fame and fortune?
And this person didn't move at all…
At this moment, Old Chen glanced at everyone and said,"
May I know which one of you is Young Master Chu Yi?"
Chu Yi finished the tea in his cup, then slowly stood up and said,"
"I'm not talented. It's really Chu Yi."
Everyone was shocked again, as if their worldview had been shattered.
To be able to write as well as Wang Xizhi and write poems so quickly, it must be a human.
How knowledgeable was this person?
No matter what, he had to be someone on par with Old Chen, right?
However, the person in front of him was not only elegant, gentle and humble, but more importantly, he was young!
"You…you are Chu Yi?" The shopkeeper said to Chu Yi with a hint of confusion.
Obviously, the shopkeeper was also stunned…
Chu Yi nodded and said calmly.
"That's right."
Everyone was shocked once again. They originally thought that this person was talented and that his calligraphy was outstanding.
He didn't expect that this person's appearance was even more shocking!
Chu Yi waved his fan and smiled faintly. He said to the shopkeeper,""What's wrong? Shopkeeper?"
Only then did the shopkeeper come to his senses. He smiled awkwardly and said to Chu Yi,""It's nothing. Young Master Chu is really young and promising.”
Chu Yi nodded slightly, neither humble nor humble.
The shopkeeper was even more certain that Chu Yi was a dragon among men and was determined to befriend him.
"Is there a need to continue reading the following poems?" Elder Chen asked.”
Everyone paused, even though there was no better poem than Chu Yi's.
However, Old Chen's words still made people feel awkward.
After all, there were still some descendants of officials in the middle, and they were not here for the silver.
"Of course, of course." The shopkeeper tried to smooth things over.”
Unexpectedly, Elder Chen stood up and said coldly,""Then you see, this old man won't participate.”
Everyone silently wiped their sweat, but they still continued to watch.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, the results of the review were out. Indeed, no one's poem could surpass Chu Yi's.
The shopkeeper stood in the middle and announced to everyone,""Everyone, the results of the poem competition are out.”
Everyone was waiting for the shopkeeper to announce the result, although there was no suspense.
Li Lizhi smiled and said to Chu Yi,"Brother Chu, you have to treat me to a drink if you win first place."”
Chu Yi nodded and smiled.”
"Today's champion is Young Master Chu Yi!”
Everyone applauded, and everyone was convinced.
Chu Yi's poems were indeed unprecedented!
At this moment, the shopkeeper continued to announce,
"Because Young Master Chu Yi's calligraphy is also brilliant and outstanding, I've decided to carve Young Master Chu Yi's poems on the walls of this shop for the guests to admire!”
Everyone was in an uproar. Although poetry competitions were common in restaurants, there were still very few people who could carve their own poems in restaurants.
This time, someone in Chu Yi was in the limelight.
Everyone cast envious looks at Chu Yi, but Chu Yi's expression was very calm.
Just like how it should be, Chu Yi smiled and said to the shopkeeper,""That's troublesome."
The more the shopkeeper looked at Chu Yi, the happier he became. The shopkeeper was a businessman. How could he carve Chu Yi's poem on the wall of his shop just because he admired it?
At the end of the day, other than creating hype, there was another reason for him to build a relationship with Chu Yi.
Then, the shopkeeper announced the top three.
Li Lizhi wasn't surprised. She was second.
After announcing the top three, the prizes were distributed to everyone.
Chu Yi took the silver and said to Li Lizhi,""Brother Li, I'll treat you to a drink."
Li Lizhi smiled shyly. The person who came to carve the poem had just finished it.
The shopkeeper walked towards Chu Yi and said,""Young Master Chu, please leave your name.”
