Chapter 162 Peony Literary Gathering? A gathering to brag about the protagonist! (3)

When He Xu publicly stated that he lost to Jia Shao, it caused an uproar and shock.

Luoyang, at the city gate.

More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages drove in from outside the city.

Such a grand event naturally attracted countless people to watch.

In particular, when they saw the word "Su" embroidered on the carriage in the front, several scholars holding the "Dongdu Flower News" newspaper were shocked!

They stepped forward bravely and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, is this Senior Brother Su Qi?"

The curtain of the carriage in the front was opened, revealing Su Qi's unruly face: "It's me, can the flower viewing literary gathering begin?"

It’s indeed Senior Brother Su Qi!

The scholar was excited after hearing this.

He handed over the Dongdu Flower News report in his hand and said indignantly: "Brother Su Qi, you are finally here! This Luoyang Flower Appreciation and Literature Festival should have brought together talented people from all walks of life to write poems, appreciate flowers and drink tea. It is a literary and artistic feast for us!"

"However, it was ruined by the illiterate Jia Shao. How despicable!"

"Jia Shao, he is the biggest bad apple in this flower appreciation literary gathering!"

Having said this.

Behind Su Qi's carriage, more than a dozen carriages opened their windows, revealing dozens of incredulous faces.

Including Zhang Tingyu, a group of people couldn't believe their ears.

Senior Brother Jia Shao, who was better than Senior Brother Su Qi in debate, wrote the poem "Ode to Willow" by the lake, and was extremely talented, was called "uneducated"?

Are you kidding me?!

Even Su Qi was stunned.

He took the "Dongdu Flower News" newspaper and glanced at it for a few seconds. The more he looked, the more embarrassed he looked.

This is complete nonsense!

This rubbish newspaper should be closed down as soon as possible!

Under the shocked and stunned gazes of the scholars, Su Qi tore the official report into pieces and sneered, "Jia Shao is totally uneducated? The biggest rat in the literary society?"

"joke!"

"It is an honor for the Luoyang Literary Gathering that he can come to participate in this event! You bunch of rubbish, are you worthy of looking down on Jia Shao?"

"Even I lost to him, what are you guys?"

After saying that.

Ignoring the dumbfounded scholars, Su Qi ordered the coachman to rush towards the peony garden.

rear.

Zhang Tingyu and others looked angry and anxious, and hurriedly followed.

Senior Brother Jia Shao has obviously been bullied.

No, we must rush over as soon as possible to protect Brother Jia Shao, to protect our 'idol'!

They left in a mighty procession.

The few people who were reading just came back to their senses from their shock.

Senior Brother Su Qi just said that he lost to Jia Shao?!

Oh my god!

The other side.

In front of Peony Pavilion.

Some scholars were also shocked and questioned: "Brother He Xu, you...really lost to Jia Shao? How is that possible! What was the content of your competition?"

Yes, what you are competing for is crucial!

Facing everyone's eager inquiring gazes, He Xu was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "What we are competing in is to decipher the characters for flowers, and we deciphered the word peony."

If we just break down the characters and interpret the meaning, that wouldn't be right!

Just when everyone was puzzled.

Then He Xu said, "First, analyze the characters, then write a couplet poem, and then use the couplet poem as a topic, and then use the eight-part essay to analyze it. The requirements are that the characters should be analyzed and quoted from classics, the couplet poem should have a source, and the eight-part essay should refer to classics and history."

hiss!

After hearing this competition topic, countless people at the scene gasped and stared in amazement.

This... is too perverted!

He Xu smiled helplessly and said, "That day, Senior Brother Jia Shao stood by the railing with an extremely leisurely attitude, and he easily gave the answer."

"He split the word 'peony' into 'peony tripod red inscription' and composed a couplet poem: 'The peony tripod casts the Zhou dynasty's millet and the red inscription records the Han dynasty's merits'... and then used this couplet poem to break the eight-part essay into: The tripod is the most important instrument of the country; the inscription is the precious stone of history..."

After hearing He Xu's words, the whole audience was stunned and speechless.

Just for this game, at least nearly ten books need to be cited, and when breaking the eight-part essay in the end, classics and history are also referenced!

It is not difficult to analyze characters, write couplets and compose eight-legged essays.

But what’s rare is that all three are combined in one game!

And Jia Shao could actually give such an amazing and impressive answer!

The scholar couldn't help but ask, "Brother He, how did you answer? Why did you lose?"

He Xu was silent for a moment, then said frankly: "I didn't answer because I thought I couldn't give a better answer than Senior Brother Jia Shao. So, I just admitted defeat."

In a competition, he overwhelmed everyone and forced the talented He Xu to admit defeat on the spot!

What a terrifying strength this is.

In addition, the song "Climbing the Hongyan Tower" impressed countless people present.

Jia Shao must be a true genius!!

The readers looked confused and had not yet completed the cognitive transformation from "the uneducated Jia Shao" to "the peerless genius Jia Shao".

Yan Siyuan and other black fans were even more excited after hearing what He Xu said: "This is nothing! We haven't even mentioned one tenth of Mr. Jia Shao's amazing abilities."

"In short, he has the right to live in Room 1, A-1!"

What outrageous words these are.

However, no one among the readers present dared to stand up and refute.

Jia Shao brought them a subversive shock today!

Even old Cui, who was standing far away, was very surprised.

When Yan Siyuan and others showed up just now, she guessed in her heart that these people should be "stooges" who came to "clear Jia Shao's name."

However, when "Climbing the Hongyan Tower" was performed, the whole audience was amazed.
