As the literati and scholars have basically finished writing the lyrics and music, they have also come to today's finale, which is to select the best lyrics and sing them by Qinhuai Qujue Dong Yujing.

"Miss Dong, which talented man's work do you think is more suitable for your eyes?"

Since it was lyrics by Dong Yujing, out of respect, Lin Zhen still asked her for her opinion.

"You are polite to the top scholar. I am a little girl, so how dare I choose the works of all the talents."

Lin Zhen asked, if Dong Yujing really took it seriously and came to choose it himself, he would be a little confused about his identity.

As a brothel woman on the banks of the Qinhuai River, if she doesn’t have any eyesight or emotional intelligence, she will never be the top player. So Dong Yujing still returned the right to choose back to Lin Zhen.

After Dong Yujing's incident, Lin Zhen did not continue to be polite, but pointed out a few lyrics and songs: "I personally think that these two lyrics and songs can be masterpieces. I wonder what everyone here thinks?"

The two lyrics selected by Lin Zhen are the Suzhou scholar Wu Yingqian and Yingtian scholar Zeng Mengjian. Shang Lu, who is popular among many people, are not among them.

The reason is that the Imperial College of Shanglu was studying hard for several years and was not good at romantic affairs, so the lyrics and music he wrote were naturally slightly inferior. In addition, compared with lyrics, Shanglu was better at writing poetry, and the works circulated in later generations were also mainly based on poetry.

"Zhuangyuan Gong has a good vision, but these two poems are excellent works, so you can choose one of them."

Lin Zhen’s literary vision is unquestionable. Sun Tixue and Li Fuyin present all agreed.

"Since that's the case, the writings of Zeng Mengjian by Yingtian Juzi seem to be more in line with Jing. Why not just sing this song with Dong?"

"I have no objection, but I follow the orders of the top scholar."

Dong Yujing's answer is very standard, but it can be seen from the joy between her eyebrows. In fact, she prefers Zeng Meng's abbreviation.

The reason is not limited to the better abbreviation of Zeng Meng. Part of the reason is that Zeng Mengjian is a local, and has a young talent and a bright future.

Don’t think that Zeng Mengjian will never be able to turn over if he is suppressed twice by Shen Yichen. In fact, except for the slight blow to fame, the actual damage is not great.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is still a talented man who passed the imperial examination in his young age, and he studied at the Duke of Chengguo Mansion. He has connections that ordinary people cannot reach. In addition, he is a local native of Yingtian Mansion, and his local tyrant has obvious advantages.

Even if a brothel woman is a courtesan, she will only eat a bowl of youthful rice. Her best destination is to be favored by the powerful and be able to escape from the lowly family and complete the leap of social class.

Even the famous Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in the late Ming Dynasty, they pursued this throughout their lives.

If Dong Yujing sang lyrics for Zeng Mengjian, she could have a relationship with this young talent, even if he had not yet achieved success, she could at least be considered a potential stock. In comparison, Wu Ying, a son of Suzhou, had nearly 40 years old and had wives and concubines at home, and the gap was more than a little bit.

Seeing that the top scholar Lin Zhen already had his own lyrics, Zeng Mengjian's face was gloomy all day long, and finally stretched out.

So what if you are so overwhelmed by your Shen Yichen? The most important lyrics at the Winter Solstice Poetry Festival today were taken down by me Zeng Mengjian. Whoever laughed the last time is the real winner!

Not only that, even some local scholars who were friends with Zeng Mengjian began to congratulate in advance.

"Brother Zeng is unparalleled in lyrics and music, and he will eventually win the lead today."

"The top scholar is optimistic about you. Brother Zeng is considering a career teacher and will regard himself as a top scholar in the future!"

"It's not just the top scholar. I think even Dong is in love with Brother Zeng, and now he has to hold the beauty back."

After praising and complimenting from all walks of life, Zeng Mengjian could no longer curb his inner compliment and smiled on his face.

But he will immediately have a deeper understanding of what the person who laughs to the end is the real winner!

Just as the selection was about to be finalized, Liu Wan'er suddenly stood up and bowed to Lin Zhen and said, "Zhuangyuan Gong, I have another lyrics and songs here. I recalled Chen Gongzi Chen, and I hope you all will see it."

What?

Chen Yichen turned his head with a confused look on his face and looked at Liu Wan'er. He didn't expect the other party to do such a move, and he didn't understand why he did this.

Liu Wan'er did not care about Chen Yichen's surprised gaze, but held the lyrics in her hand and looked directly at Lin Zhen on the main table, hoping to get the expected reply.

"Oh... Yichen actually wrote it, that girl, come and take a look."

During the selection period, Lin Zhen waited for a long time, but he didn't see Chen Yichen's lyrics and music. He thought that this kid hadn't written it or hadn't planned to submit it.

Unexpectedly, as the selection ended, a musician suddenly stood up and said that she had Chen Yichen's lyrics and music, which was really a bit surprised.

"Thank you Zhuangyuan Gong."

After receiving the approval, Liu Wan'er came to the main table with her lyrics. After Lin Zhen took it, she slowly opened it. What caught her eye was a lyrics and song called "Jin Mingchi·Yong Han Liu".

There is a cold wave and a ruthless afterglow, which is the whistle and blew up. The frost strips and lonely shadows are blown up. I still remember the flying catkins in the old days. Moreover, when the smoke comes in the evening, the setting sun, and when I see the traveler, I will look thin and dance like a dance. I always feel desolate and haggard, and there are still good sentences on Yantai.

Just looking at the first stanza, the cold and desolate atmosphere can be said to be coming to my face. The lyrics and songs sigh that they are full of desolateness, like the branches of desolate willow trees, swaying in the cold wind.

However, in this miserable and miserable state, you can still vaguely see the willow catkins flying and dancing in the spring, which highlights the sadness of the decline from prosperity to decline.

This poem takes a woman's perspective, so is Chen Yichen describing the brothel woman on the banks of the Qinhuai River?

Lin Zhen couldn't help but have this speculation in his mind, because Chen Yichen's "Linjiangxian" style that was circulated before was very different from this song "Jin Mingchi".

"Linjiangxian" is heroic and sad, with a sense of heroic twilightness. This song "Jin Mingchi" is graceful and implicit, revealing the lonely and helpless state of mind in a woman's heart.

To be honest, Lin Zhen has seen countless people and rarely see two completely different lyrics and music styles in one person. And more importantly, both styles are portrayed in a profound way, making people feel empathetic.

What kind of genius is Chen Yichen that has such an amazing posture?

Lin Zhen held the lyrics and said nothing for a long time. This abnormal behavior also made Sun Tixue and Yingtian Prefecture Li Min confused, so he came over with a curiosity to see what Chen Yichen wrote.

"This...is this really done by Yichen?"

Seeing the content on rice paper completely subverts Sun Tixue's impression of Chen Yichen's poem style.

You should know that the previous song "Linjiang Xian" was referenced as a confidant. The ups and downs of life and the calmness of the wind, the officials who are a little older have a sense of their own portrayal.

Now this poem describes the coldness and sadness of the little girl, and Sun Tixue really can't believe that it would be from the same person.

"Sir, it's true."

Liu Wan'er confirmed again.

Not to mention the shock of these adults, if Liu Wan'er had not seen it with her own eyes, Chen Yichen wrote it out in strokes. She couldn't believe that this poem would have been written by a young scholar.

However, in comparison, Liu Wan'er quickly understood this poem, which was Chen Yichen using Han Liu to describe his situation.

Now I am like the willows in autumn and winter, swaying with the cold wind, lonely and helpless.

"Zhuang Yuan Gong, it seems that he may have to choose another choice for today's lyrics."

After seeing Chen Yichen's "Jin Mingchi", Li Fuyin bowed to Lin Zhen and said.

Before, I have basically selected Zeng Mengjian's lyrics, but as soon as Chen Yichen came out, the delicate description of the characters' inner heart can be said to be a judgment.

Even though the meaning of the lyrics is a bit sad and does not fit the lively atmosphere of the poetry club, Chen Yichen is a disciple of Lin Zhen after all. As long as the gap is not too big, the face of the court is still willing to sell it, let alone come from behind.

When Li Fuyin said this, he was naturally heard by the literati and scholars present. Many people were puzzled. What kind of words could make several judges change their minds temporarily. Could it be that there was any secret operation?

However, according to the reputation and character of the Zhuang Yuangong, he would not do such things in public. So some bold people stood up and stretched their heads, and tried their best to see what Chen Yichen wrote.

"The handwriting is so beautiful. Could it be that the reason why Chen Yichen failed to pass the exam for Tongsheng is that he has been practicing calligraphy for more than ten years?"

I didn't see the content clearly, and the first thing I saw was the words that could be called wooden board printing. Today, there were ones who were part of the conference. No one was as upright as Chen Yichen in the style of the Taige Pavilion!

"From words to see people, Chen Yichen's basic skills are absolutely solid. I don't believe that he was so naughty in the past!"

"Yes, I'm really ignorant and stupid, I can't write this handwriting."

The appearance of ancient calligraphy is just like the face of people today. If you look good, your first impression will be naturally close. If you look ugly and vicious, you will also be avoided.

Even the emperor of the palace examination selected the top scorer, and how he wrote his handwriting and how he looked, all accounted for a lot of ratings. In terms of the Ming Dynasty alone, there were three first-place candidates in the palace examination, but because of his poor appearance, the emperor canceled the title of top scorer.

So regardless of the content, just about the word "hand" is the best in the audience!

When Zeng Mengjian heard the comments of these scholars present, he felt like a blow to the head and instantly felt like he was dizzy and dark.

If Lin Zhen alone is optimistic, he can still be brave enough to argue with reason. After all, Chen Yichen is his disciple, so it is hard to say that he has no desire to be favored.

But everyone at the scene is now standing at Chen Yichen, and some even think that his calligraphy is beautiful!

This made Zeng Mengjian unable to let go. Just Chen Yichen's word like a dog crawling can also be called the word "beautiful"?

I have recognized the progress in my knowledge, and I have also recognized the loss of poetry and lyrics. However, without years of practice, there is no major change. I have said that he is good at calligraphy, but I have been dissatisfied with the words "六子"!

However, when he set his sight on Shen Yichen's face, the only pride and superiority in his heart were shattered.

Because Chen Yichen's word is really impeccable!
Chapter completed!
