Wang Ren was bursting with confidence. He had never been afraid of anyone present when it came to poetry.
Seeing Wang Ren's smile, Huhai asked in a low voice,"
"Are you confident?"
"Young Master, don't worry. I'm 80 - 90% sure!"
Wang Ren said calmly.
"Good!" Huhai gave Wang Ren a meaningful glance and looked at Li Xuanji contemptuously.
Wang Ren understood and shouted at Li Xuanji,"
"I wonder if Immortal Master Li will participate in Miss Xian 'er's question.”
"Of course I will."
Li Xuanji said calmly. He had already noticed the two of them when they were whispering furtively.
As expected, these two people were still targeting him.
With so many people competing for her, Li Xuanji wasn't very interested in such a scene.
He wasn't a bootlicker who had to listen to other people's opinions when he was in a brothel.
However, the system did not allow it. Just now, the mechanical voice of the system appeared in Li Xuanji's mind.
[Ding-dong: The host has triggered a hidden mission: Get first place!
[Requirements: Compose a poem and gain everyone's recognition.]
[Completion reward: Talent, Righteousness Qi!]
[Failure penalty: Randomly deduct one ability from the host!]
There was no other way. Li Xuanji could only participate.
"Does this mean that Immortal Master Li can recite poems?”
Wang Ren raised his eyebrows and asked.
"There's nothing in this world that I don't know how to do.”
Li Xuanji's words immediately made many people unhappy. In the Qin Dynasty, although they had not reached the level where all things were inferior except for reading, scholars were still a symbol of nobility.
And Li Xuanji's words actually said that poetry was a minor path, which naturally made them unhappy.
"Oh? Since Immortal Master Li said that poetry is a small path, then this young master would like to ask what is a great path?”
Wang Ren stared at Li Xuanji with disdain.
Li Xuanji said disdainfully,"
"Then let me ask you, why do you study?”
Wang Ren was taken aback at first, never expecting Li Xuan to ask such a question. However, he quickly reacted and chuckled.
"I think there are four reasons why I study. First, for Great Qin! Second, for parents! Third, for himself! Confucius once said: If you don't read poetry, you can't speak!”
" This is also to emphasize the influence of reading poetry and books on one's speech and behavior…"
When Li Xuanji heard this, he burst out laughing.
This smile immediately made Wang Ren furious. He took a step forward and said angrily,
"Why? Could it be that Immortal Master Li has a different opinion?”
Li Xuanji chuckled and said,"
"I can't say that I have any insights, but it's enough for me to give you some pointers.”
Wang Ren suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a cold face,
"Then this Wang would like to hear what you, Li Xuanji, have to say.”
Li Xuanji nodded." That's right. You should listen carefully!"”
After saying that, he did not give Wang Ren a chance to speak and continued,
"Why study? I believe that reading is to understand the Dao and the universe. A single leaf can tell the autumn of the world!"
"A single leaf can tell the autumn of the world! What an arrogant tone!"
Wang Ren mocked disdainfully.
Li Xuanji ignored him and continued,"
"You only know how to recite, pick out sentences from chapters, point out the text, explain, write gorgeous articles, and know poetry.”
"The true path of reading is to understand the profound meaning of books and use vulgar language to enlighten the world. It is used to govern the world and the country. Different worlds use different meanings to cultivate the people and build a prosperous world!”
"Reading to understand the meaning, to know the world, to understand the truth, to get rid of the moor. This is the Great Dao!"
After Li Xuanji finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Everyone was dumbstruck. Li Xuanji's words made these scholars fall into deep thought.
Even Wang Ren was the same. Huhai, who was beside him, said with a gloomy look,"
"Everyone, let's hurry up and compose a poem. We can't let Miss Xian Er wait for too long.”
After Huhai finished speaking, many people echoed.
In Huhai's eyes, a so-called top star like Xian 'er was nothing.
The reason why he said this was to distract everyone and get them back to the main topic.
Even if you, Li Xuanji, were good at preaching, you were competing in poetry now. If you couldn't compose it, or if you didn't compose it well, it would be useless no matter how good you were at preaching.
Wang Ren had also figured it out. He went to his seat and began to think.
A servant boy placed a tray in front of everyone.
Inside the tray was a brush, ink, and a white silk cloth.
It seemed like he was going to write his poem on this silk cloth.
Li Xuanji spread out the silk cloth, picked up the brush, and started writing.
Seeing that Li Xuanji was writing, Wang Li's eyes widened in surprise as he touched the small token.
"Immortal Master Li, don't you need to think?”
"I'm just casually writing. What if that Miss Xian Er likes someone like me?”
"That makes sense!"
Wang Li was enlightened. Then, he started writing, but he didn't know what he was writing.
After finishing the poem, Li Xuanji wrote his name with a crooked brush.
This calligraphy was a little too ugly. Li Xuanji frowned slightly. His calligraphy was really not good. It seemed that he had to find time to practice calligraphy in the future.
