Chapter 390
Young Master Tian said: "Brother Zuo, these two lyrics and songs are really what Brother Zuo did? Zuo Shaoyang originally wanted to say that these two songs were not written by himself, but were written by his friend, but he had told Bai Zhihan and his father Zuo Gui before, and they didn't believe it at all. They thought that the two people he made up must have thought so, but they felt that they were pretentious. Now they were a little drunk and too lazy to explain, so they just deceived the world and steal the reputation for a while. Niu Wen Novel~ Read novels online [-ttzw365.-] Free text update! Nodded immediately.
Wu Shu bowed and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Zuo's medical skills are as good as a god, but his talent is also top-notch. I admire him!"
Young Master Tian stayed for a while and said in a devastating manner: "Brother Zuo, if you take the Jinshi exam in Longzhou, the top of the Jinshi list will definitely be Brother Zuo."
Kang Xuanhu came over to toast with a glass of wine: "Brother Zuo, Brother Yu heard from Brother Tian that you are skilled in medical skills. He cured his broken arm so that he could pick up his pen and write, so that he could participate in the tribute ceremony. Brother Yu has admired his medical skills for a long time and has thought in his heart that if Brother Zuo took the medical examination in Longzhou, Brother Yu's first place would be unsafe! But he didn't know that Brother Zuo was more skilled in poetry. Even Brother Tian's talent would be willing to be at the last seat. Brother Zuo should be called a Confucian doctor! Admiration!"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded and said, "Brother Zuo is a real Confucian doctor! You should give me a cup!" Zuo Shaoyang felt embarrassed and hurriedly held the cup and said a few humble words, and drank the wine in the cup.
The singer heard that the young master in front of him was the one who wrote these two poems, and was surprised and stepped forward to bless him with a blessing: "The two poems of the young master, especially one of the Butterfly Love Flowers. I usually read "New Words of the World", and felt sad about Xun Fengqian's story of frozen to save his wife. I thought that if there was such a lovely man who loved him for life without regrets! They all longed to see the lyricist and see how infatuated a man they were. I will meet today. Although I don't know if it is really as infatuated as infatuated in the lyrics, I am gentle and elegant. I am really lucky to have three lives. I respect the young master!"
"Thank you!" Zuo Shaoyang bowed his hand and drank the wine in his glass.
The singer said blessedly: "Young Master Zuo, I have a ruthless request, so I will ask you to be kind to you."
"Haha, please say."
"The singers in our Mianchun Pavilion all like the song "Young Master" very much. Butterfly Love Flower" admires the talent of your son. Today, the young master is here. I want to tell them that if you have time, come and give them a glass of wine. I wonder if you can?"
"This, OK, I never refuse to others toast me with wine. Hahaha."
"Thank you!"
The singer's blessings withdrew. After a moment, Yingying and Yanyan came in. Most of the girls were women in their twenties and thirties, and their bodies were not outstanding. Because the singer's performance was not very good in principle, the literati and elegant guests who came to them were usually for their talents.
The one who led them was Lao Jiu from "Mianchun Pavilion", the middle-aged beauty who was also an admirer of Zuo Shaoyang's poem. After learning the news, she led the singers to toast.
These dozen singers heard that Zuo Shaoyang was the poet who explained the story of "The Story of the World" by the song "Butterfly Love Flower" in the opposite direction. They were all overjoyed and came up to toast and reported their names. They all said that if the young master had a new work, he would first give it to them for the premiere.
Singer girls are very similar to modern singing entertainment circles. There are many good singers, but not many good songs. If a singer can get a good song that suits his characteristics, it is easy to become famous. Many singers become famous with a good song.
The songs sung by ancient singers have fixed tunes, and lyrics can be replaced, so a good song is not in the tune, but these singers naturally flock to a good song. Most famous literati and poets are surrounded by a circle of singers, scrambling to ask for new lyrics, so they can sing them first to increase their popularity. Although Zuo Shaoyang is a new literary celebrity, these two poems, especially Nalan Xingde's "Butterfly Love Flower", were deeply loved by these singers, and they were not known where they were passed to the hands of brothel women and soon became popular. Therefore, although Zuo Shaoyang is not famous yet, the singers are all competing for his new lyrics.
When Mr. Tian and others saw Meifu Laojiu taking Yingying and Yanyan toast around Zuo Shaoyang, they introduced themselves. They asked for new words, and couldn't help but laugh.
Young Master Tian said, "Brother Zuo, since so many girls have asked for your new work, I'm lucky to meet today, why not write a poem on the spot, and the girls said yes in unison. They sat down one after another, looked at him with pretty faces raised, and looked at him with respect and love.
Kang Xuanhu and others also sat down. To be honest, they did not believe that Zuo Shaoyang, a young doctor, could write such wonderful poems. Now he wrote poems on the spot, so he could see if he was real or fake. Zuo Shaoyang was also a little panicked. How could he do any poems? He just recited some favorite Tang and Song lyrics in his stomach. Fortunately, it is only the early Tang Dynasty, and there are many poems that can be copied. The key is not to panic, slowly make up the idea, bite the bullet and plagiarize one, and get through the testimonials. But you have to think about it, otherwise it will not be appropriate. Young Master Tian and others here are all scholars in Longzhou and Jinshi. They have been absorbed in yin poetry since childhood. If there is a sentence that is wrong, it would be embarrassing.
He held the wine glass and glanced at the singers who were singing again. He thought that the love poem he copied could actually resonate with them so strongly. It was really surprising. Looking at the respectful eyes of the singers, Zuo Shaoyang felt aroused in his heart, and he remembered the song "Sending Thoughts" by the famous poet Du Mu of the late Tang Dynasty. He recited it silently in his heart, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he held the wine glass and coughed lightly, saying, "Since you are loving, then Zuo is offering ugly. It can be regarded as a thank you for your kindness."
"Wait!" Young Master Tian stood up and said, "Why don't you clear the writing of Mr. Zuo on the wall? It will be a good story in the future!"
Everyone said yes in unison.
The ancients had the habit of writing poems on the wall, especially after drinking, the beautiful madam immediately asked him to take the pen and ink and develop the ink himself.
Thinking of writing it out, Zuo Shaoyang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He had been traveling through time for a year and had been practicing calligraphy. Especially after helping Wu Shu take the exam last time in Longzhou, he only got the second place in calligraphy, which was a big blow to him, and he practiced calligraphy with even more care. Until now, this calligraphy is far from comparable to chicken feet and claws at the beginning. Although it is very ordinary, it would not be too embarrassing to see these literati. Moreover, if written in running script, it would be even more embarrassing.
After the ink was ground, Zuo Shaoyang held the inkstone with a slender ink in his left hand, and held the pen in his right hand. Wei Hao ink walked to the snow-white wall on the front, and held the pen in his hand. The pen was like a dragon and a snake, and wrote: The wine was carried by the rivers and lakes, and Chu's waist was slender and his palm was light.
I have been dreaming of Chang'an for ten years and won the reputation of being a brothel.
He changed Yangzhou, which was originally in the original poem "A Dream of Yangzhou for Ten Years", to Chang'an. Young Master Tian and others stood behind him and watched. He wrote a sentence, and the beautiful old pigeon chanted a sentence. After the last word was finished, the house was filled with loud praises.
Only Young Master Tian did not shout. He stood in front of the wall like a disorganized person, and slowly recited it again. His hands softened and his nose clanged, and the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground: "Stop! With Brother Zuo here, why are I still competing for the top leader? Oh, it's better to go back than to go back!"
No wonder Mr. Tian was so frustrated. "The Complete Tang Poetry Talk" said that Wu Wuling, a Ph.D. of the Imperial Academy, read Du Mu's poem and admired it very much. He recommended it to Cui Jia, the Shilang of the Ministry of Rites who was responsible for the imperial examination and the selection of the imperial examination. Du Mu then became the first. This is a poem that has achieved success. No wonder Mr. Tian feels guilty.
Wu Shu comforted him, "Brother Tian, Brother Zuo has no intention of career, so he will not compete with you for this top scholar."
"That's true, it's even more ashamed. Brother Zuo's poems are just taken into consideration, and he has been able to write such a wonderful poem. Tian has been working hard for ten years. Even if he is on the list of the golden list and the leader of high school, how can he be content with his face? It's better to stop as soon as possible and retire to the countryside!"
Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "Brother Tian, there are many people who are better than me. Why can't you even stand this setback? How can you break through the wind and waves in your career and rise to the sky? Besides, I can also know these two wrong poems. I am useless to take the other beautiful articles. I am afraid that one or two poems can be achieved by taking the tribute exam, right?"
The scholarship in the early Tang Dynasty was the highest among all the imperial examination subjects, and the treatment after the exam was the highest. The test was the "strategy strategy" and the "current affairs strategy" examination content was originally set to select talents with a strategy of governing the country. However, the early Tang Dynasty was deeply influenced by the superb writing style of the Southern Dynasty. From candidates to markers, they were only obsessed with Cihua.
At this time, the examiner did not look at the content of the articles that were able to reach the level or whether there was a certain strategy for governing the country. Instead, he examined whether the articles of the tribute student met the requirements of parallel prose, whether the rhythm was strict, the verbal elegance was gorgeous, and whether allusions could be used in large quantities. If these could be done, even if some clichés or even empty articles could be praised and approved. Therefore, the scholarly subject gradually evolved into a truly "magnificent article" examination subject. In addition, poetry was adapted to the system and harmony, and it gradually became a trend in the upper class of the court, so the trend of scholarly subjects to the officialdom was already very obvious.
Mr. Tian has studied this hard and has never seen the parallel prose written by Zuo Shaoyang, so he cannot say that he lost to the other party. After listening to Zuo Shaoyang's words, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Zuo, for your guidance. I wonder if Brother Zuo has any advice for us to observe and appreciate?"
The crowd started to cheer for Suo Wen again. Zuo Shaoyang knew that what he was most worried about now was to meet a too powerful opponent. Although he did not participate in the imperial examination, a doctor who worked as a part-time poetry writer had such talent, which was a big blow to him, so he wanted to gain some confidence from the parallel prose.
Zuo Shaoyang could only recite some Tang and Song lyrics, and how could he know parallel prose? He bowed and said that he didn't know. However, Young Master Tian and others were reluctant to believe it. This is true. People who could write such wonderful poems actually said that they could not write parallel prose at all. It was like a long-distance running athlete who said he could not walk at all.
It was still the artist who performed the sect and said that he had already chanted Zuo Shaoyang's new set to everyone, which led to the topic.
