"I really can't tell that you, Tao Zhongqian, is actually a kind-hearted person. Since you have spoken, Dai is not willing to give this face..." Dai Wanchun still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of bad intentions. "I just don't know if you really talk about talent and knowledge. Can you Huaibei scholars compare with the talents of Huainan?"

"You'll know if you try it?" Tao Yun replied softly and hard. Suddenly, other scholars from both sides also spoke and half provocatively invited him: "Brother Wang, I heard that you failed to pass the test twice, I wonder what this time is it?"

"I will win this time, but before that, let you see what I have learned in the past three years is not bad."

"Then I'll have to learn something..."

Most of these scholars knew each other and had exchanges at the literary meeting. Naturally, no one was willing to be humble. The only exception was Li Ling and Xu Cang. Seeing both sides fighting each other, both of them were confused and could only bow their heads and drink.

"Brother Tao, don't say we bullied you Huaibei scholars. Since I decided today's location, let's talk about what the competition is." Dai Wanchun was also a happy person, and said immediately, "But I can tell you that today, our number one talented person in Huainan Cui Yuan and Cui Huairen are here. No matter what literary battle you think of, you can't beat us!" As he said that, he also pointed at a young man beside him.

Everyone's eyes fell on the slightly thin but energetic young man. He saw that he had no sense of modesty and looked around with a smile: "All poems, songs, couplets and compositions are not that I, Cui Yuan, don't know. Just ask for the title. Even if it is a path like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I will accompany you to the end!"

This is still a versatile talent. After feeling the other party's confidence, Tao Yun and the Huaibei scholar's faces condensed. But then, he laughed again: "We have naturally heard of Mr. Cui's name, but in terms of talent, I, Li Wenzhong, in Huaibei, is not inferior to you! Now, many people in Luoyang City have heard of his name!" As he said that, he pointed his hand at Li Ling behind him.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Huainan also looked at Li Ling. Even Cui Yuan, who looked proud, couldn't help but look up and down at this young scholar who looked younger than him.

The woman who was drinking beside Li Ling shouted softly, looking at the man beside him with nostalgia, and her soft body was pressed closer and closer. After being stared at by so many people like this, Li Ling felt a little uncomfortable and could only cough: "That is just a little reputation, not worth mentioning..."

"Wen Zhong, don't be too humble. Now your reputation among the Luoyang Shilin is definitely not below any scholar. This is the pride of our entire Huaibei Shilin, no, the entire Lianghuai Shilin." Tao Yun said proudly again, consciously suppressing the other party in his momentum.

"Okay, it's useless to say more. Since you want to compete, then set the rules." Dai Wanchun interrupted unhappily. If the other party continues to praise him like this, his talented man's reputation will be overshadowed.

"Okay. Mama Xu, I'll ask you to leave a few girls who are good at playing here to cheer up, and let a girl who knows how to drink and is good at poetry preside over the wine order for us." Tao Yun looked at Mama Xu, who was helpless, and made his own request.

The latter immediately laughed: "It's easy... Since the young masters are going to play this elegant drama, I really have several daughters here who know these games the most." As he said that, he pointed out five people in a row and stayed in the hall, while the others withdrew with him.

After a while, the sound of the ding zither zither sounded in the hall here with Zhengcong's pipa music. Another woman sang a silky tune, which immediately calmed the atmosphere of the banquet.

In the songs, Tao Yun smiled and said, "I, a scholar from Huaibei, don't want to win, so I will compare each other with the wine order. This girl..." He looked at the graceful beauty in front of him, and saw her smile gently: "I have met you guys, Zhiwei, I have seen you guys."

"Then please ask Miss Zhiwei to make this order. You will set the question and then judge. If anyone can't answer it or the answer is wrong, he will be fined three drinks of wine. What if he is fine?"

"I understand." Zhiwei responded with a smile, then looked at Dai Wanchun, who represented the scholar in Huainan. After seeing him, he turned around and came to another vacant table. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Young masters, I have to make up for it first. This wine order is greater than that of the military order. At that time, I will be the master of it. You can't blame others."

"Of course, the girl just feel at ease to ask questions. If it is done well, we will still have rewards." Dai Wanchun said arduously.

"Then I thank Mr. Dai first." Zhiwei smiled and gave him a charming look, then thought for a moment, "This is the first drink order, let's have a simple poem. With the title of spring today and the bright moon tonight, you all recite two sentences. The first sentence must be spring and the next sentence must be moon, and the next sentence must not be repeated..."

Listening to her question, the other scholars reacted mediocrely, but Li Ling's brows were slowly gathering, so he really shouldn't have come to this Lao Shizi literary meeting, which is completely different from what he thought before.

He thought that these people gathered together to compare their familiarity with classics, history, and collections, or their views on classics... As a result, they said some useless words at the beginning, but in the end they even started drinking. And they even stipulated the use of words for poetry. Do you think this is a poetry filming conference?

But even if it is a poetry conference, the flying flower order in it only contains a certain character in the poem. You should just use two-character poems to connect them. This shows that you have memorized enough poems?

Poor Li Ling has only a few poems that he has truly memorized in his two lives, and he can't take them out at this moment. In fact, it was not only him, but Xu Cang, who was beside him, looked embarrassed at this moment, thinking hard that he didn't know how to deal with it.

Both of them are the same, and they only focus on the imperial examination. They may have seen things like Tang poetry and Song lyrics, but they have never really thought about it, let alone learn and apply it.

But others would not give them a chance to avoid it. Even the wine order of the poem was indeed quite simple for them. It blurted out from Dai Wanchun and almost didn't need to think about it. In a blink of an eye, more than ten people recited two poems of rhyme, each with the spring moon, and soon came to Li Ling's side.

"Brother Li, it's your place." A scholar next to him reminded with a smile, which made Li Ling, who was still scrambling to death. However, he was blessed to his heart. Suddenly, a sentence appeared: "When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come, how much will it know in the past..."

Just when he said this, he thought that both words must be counted as passed in the sentence, Dai Wanchun spoke above: "Li Caizi, you are too casual. Brother Zhongqian, what do you think?"

"This..." Tao Yun was also surprised, but Zhiwei, as the master of the order, had already shook her head with a smile: "Young Master Li's order is wrong. I have made it very clear before. There must be spring in the previous sentence and moon in the next sentence, instead of two words in one sentence. I will call you three more times. If you can't think of another wonderful sentence, you can only determine that you have lost, and you will have to be fined three glasses of wine. One..."

"No need to count, I will accept the punishment." Li Ling smiled bitterly and picked up the wine glass and drank it. Then he poured two more glasses in one go. It would be better to drink wine if he thought about any poems.

Seeing this, everyone showed surprise again. Cui Yuan even curled his lips and muttered without any concealment: "A talented man in Huaibei..." full of disdain.

Before everyone could get out of their surprise, Xu Cang, who was sitting closely behind Li Ling, also smiled bitterly and drank with a wine, unable to express two lines of poetry. As a result, after a round of wine, the scholars in Huaibei were at a disadvantage, which made everyone's expressions become a little solemn.

After Li Ling had three glasses of wine, he felt regretful again. If he had known this, he would not have been able to offend Tao Yun and others. Now, it has become their burden, and it has offended people even more.

I really embarrass the time traveler. When other time travelers come to such occasions, they will be very popular. If a poem is written, they will definitely win a lot of luck. But my mind is filled with chaos and I can't say anything.

Of course, this may also be related to the different environments in which both parties are located. Others can recite poems at will, so they can cover the audience by taking out famous works from later generations. However, there are various restrictions on their own, and they have to write poems before. This is obviously not the opponent of the scholars in front of them who have been well-read since childhood.

In this way, as the drinking order continues, the topic becomes more and more difficult. From the beginning, only words need to be attached to the words, and later there is a round-robin requirement, that is, the last word of the previous person's poem is the beginning of the next person's poem, and then to changing the scenery, the sentences in the two different poems in the first and the next can depict the same scenery...

Li Ling had never heard of this kind of gameplay, so when the topic reached him, all he could do was shake his head, raise his glass, and then drink... And every time this would cause a burst of laughter from the scholars in Huainan, and at the beginning it was restrained. After he drank more than ten glasses of wine in a row, there was a lot of jokes in their eyes when they looked at him.

The faces of the people in Huaibei were getting even more ugly. Although they all performed well, some people in Huainan scholars were punished several times, but with the two "drink bags" of Li Ling and Xu Cang, Huainan scholars naturally suppressed the people in Huaibei.
