Chapter 165: The Talented Youngsters at the Literary Conference Who Dazzle More Than Flowers (Part 2)

As expected, Meng Shen's words immediately attracted countless people to cheer and applaud.

Even Cui Xian looked at this man twice more, his eyes showing amazement, and then smiled and said: "Brother Meng Shen, you are a true gentleman! Your words should be accompanied by delicious food and wine, let's drink to our heart's content!"

Hearing this, Meng Shen looked up at Jia Shao.

They are all top young talents, not only well-educated but also talented.

Meng Shen understood Jia Shao's intention almost instantly, and pretended to tease, "To accompany the delicacies with wine? What a pity, all the delicacies today have been obtained by Brother Jia Shao alone."

In full view of the public.

Jia Shao, dressed in red, raised his eyebrows, put the six plates of delicacies back into the wine cup one by one, and looked around with a smile: "I am grateful for your advice, which is better than having six delicacies."

"But the Book of Rites says: If one studies alone without friends, he will be ignorant and uninformed."

"The Analects of Confucius says: A gentleman makes friends through culture and uses friends to help him be kind."

"If Jia enjoys the taste alone, wouldn't it be a waste of the elegance of today's banquet with poems written on the winding water and peonies?"

"With a cup of wine and a poem, we can express our deep feelings. With six flavors flowing back and forth, we can share our talents."

"Please look, my dear friends, Yao Huang dyes the food, and Wei Zi adds fragrance."

"This is not the taste of the kitchen, but the elegant agreement of 'people of the same spirit seek each other' in the Book of Changes!"

"Today, I share delicious food with you all, to celebrate our meeting at the Luoyang Literary Conference, and to celebrate you and me—"

“Thoughts are like the winding stream before your eyes, which can never be exhausted or drained away!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room burst into applause!

What a wonderful phrase 'Six flavors flow back and forth, sharing talents'!

In the Exiled Immortal Pavilion, a group of young talents were touched by Jia Shao's words.

The estrangement and embarrassment caused by the "food grabbing incident" just now disappeared in an instant.

Everyone gathered on both sides of the Qushui Liushang banquet, smiling and raising their glasses to toast their meeting in Luoyang.

They have fresh eyes and youthful looks, standing in the Exiled Immortal Pavilion, showing the carefree and unrestrained youthfulness.

It is more dazzling than the gorgeous sea of ​​peonies outside!

A glass of wine.

Meng Shen looked at Jia Shao with a smile and said, "Brother Jia Shao, it seems that you haven't written a couplet poem yet."

Facing everyone's gaze.

A hint of hesitation appeared in Cui Xian's eyes.

Seeing this, Su Qi said directly: "Go ahead and don't worry about our life or death."

Cui Xian just laughed.

He has always been a calm person, rarely showing his emotions. But at this moment, the atmosphere was so good, a group of outstanding young men of the same age were particularly unrestrained and in high spirits.

What a coincidence.

He himself is such an outstanding young man!

Therefore, under the astonished gazes of countless people.

Then he saw Jia Shao, dressed in red, pouring himself a glass of wine and drinking it all.

Then he showed a brilliant smile on his face and said loudly: "Luocheng's plan to divide the world into three parts, Mutu, Weizi and Qixing are all the same! Everyone, I am Jia Shao."

"Three Divisions" refers to Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Strategy", showing his talent in planning and strategizing.

'Wei Zi' is the king of peonies, implying the honor of the prime minister.

"Seven Stars" refers to the "Records of the Grand Historian - Book of Celestial Officials": The Big Dipper governs the country. It contains the will of heaven and earth, and only the prime minister can tell.

Su Qi's 'crazy' poem just now was bold and unrestrained.

But Jia Shao's words seemed even crazier -

Reading the Four Books and Five Classics and becoming a high-ranking official and prime minister is the ultimate ideal of every young man.

therefore.

As soon as Jia Shao's two lines of poetry came out, thunderous cheers and applause broke out both inside and outside the Exiled Immortal Pavilion.

There are so many dazzling and talented young men at this Peony Literary Festival.

However, Jia Shao, the young man in red, was undoubtedly the youngest, most unrestrained, and most dazzling one at the literary gathering!
