The villain queen's close minister

Chapter 43: New Protagonist in Four-Step Poetry

The two men traveled lightly, without any fanfare, and only brought Tu Shengnan with them as their bodyguard.

The imperial capital was naturally prosperous, with officials, businessmen and wealthy people gathering on the streets.

The lights are on, the long streets are lit up with neon lights, the flower streets are bustling with activity, it is a scene of a prosperous age, and the people of this imperial capital live like a painting.

In the market of the imperial capital, one can see specialties from all over the world. Even specialties from other races such as the Dragon, Phoenix, and Golden Crow are for sale.

In this world, the capital of the Shang Dynasty is the absolute center of the world.

The two walked through the noisy market. Tang Shiyun inadvertently turned her head to look at Su An beside her, and ripples arose in her heart.

She and the young master were on a date, I guess.

As I passed the street corner, I suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.

"Good, good poem!"

"One more song!"

"Mr. Du, you can't be incapable, right?"

After some inquiries, I learned that there were people competing in poetry in front.

It was still the stupid son of the Chen family and the young master of Minister Du's family competing in poetry.

Su An also became interested. With Tu Shengnan leading the way, other residents subconsciously avoided them. The two of them walked directly to the front.

"Chen Feng! If you can write another love poem as a monk, I'll count you as the winner!"

In the center of the crowd, Master Du, one of the two protagonists of the poetry duel, gritted his teeth.

"How is it possible to write a love poem as a monk?"

"Mr. Du, aren't you being difficult?"

There was a lot of discussion around, and everyone was embarrassed by this topic and blamed Mr. Du.

Buddhism was prevalent in the Western Desert west of Da Shang. Although Buddhism was not popular in Da Shang, people still had some understanding of monks.

Buddhism emphasizes the purity of the six senses and the emptiness of the four elements.

It is necessary to practice to cut off the desires for alcohol, sex, money and power. Getting married is absolutely against the precepts.

Isn't asking a monk to write love poems the same as asking a eunuch to enter the bridal chamber?

But Mr. Du just kept on sticking to this question and kept staring at Chen Feng.

"How difficult is that?" Chen Feng smiled arrogantly when he heard that.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Master Du didn't believe that someone could write love poems while being a monk.

Chen Feng looked at Mr. Du with contempt, thinking that the natives were just ignorant.

He took two steps forward, his mouth opening.

"I was worried that my love would damage my Buddhist practice, and I was afraid that I would leave the city when I entered the mountains." He took two steps forward, thought for a while, and then continued:

"How can one achieve both in this world, without disappointing the Tathagata and without disappointing you?"

There was a sudden silence in the field.

As if the still button had been pressed, no one spoke for a moment.

After pausing for a few seconds,

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Among the crowd, a tall, thin, straight-backed old man in a green shirt was the first to praise:

"What a great way to live up to the Tathagata and lover!"

"First there was 'Don't you see the water of the Qin River comes from the sky', and now there is 'Don't disappoint the Tathagata, don't disappoint you'. This boy has achieved great success in poetry."

The Qin River is the largest river in the Shang Dynasty. It runs through several states and flows through the imperial capital.

Some passers-by recognized the old man as a great scholar from Baichuan Academy and were amazed when they heard his evaluation.

"A poem can be written in four steps! Just four steps!" Some people were even amazed at the time it took Chen Feng to write the poem.

The Shang Dynasty was established for more than 100,000 years and had countless poets, but even so, the poems written by Chen Feng were extremely amazing.

What's more, he is only in his twenties!

Genius, absolutely genius!

Good guy, absolutely good guy!

Su An's eyes were shining, looking at what he had discovered, a brand new, unharvested leek!

This world is really rich in protagonists.

Chen Feng hadn't realized that he had been targeted. He was quite complacent, enjoying the flattery from the people around him, and looked at Mr. Du with contempt.

He has accumulated five thousand years of poetry. How can the poems written by a mere native of another world compare with his?

When he saw Tang Shiyun standing in front of the crowd out of the corner of his eye, his eyes lit up.

The woman in a yellow dress was very beautiful, with an air of charm and charm. She was much more beautiful than the stars in his previous life. Being looked at by the beauty, he became even more imposing.

"Dubendu, you lost. Kneel down and apologize, then learn to bark like a dog three times."

"Chen Feng, don't go too far!" Master Du blushed and turned to leave.

Su An did not continue to watch what happened next. Having become the target of the protagonist's slap in the face, Mr. Du would most likely suffer a bad outcome.

The main thing today is to accompany Tang Shiyun shopping. The protagonist's information will be sent to the people of Bianhua for checking.

He doesn't fight a battle without preparation.

The fool of the Chen family is another typical protagonist character.

"Sir, is there something wrong with that man named Chen Feng?" Tang Shiyun also felt that the poem was beautiful, but she was more concerned about the young master's attitude.

"Don't worry about it. Now is our time. Let's not talk about this." Su An took Tang Shiyun's hand and interlocked their fingers.

Tang Shiyun's little heart started beating so fast that she couldn't care about anything else.

He followed Su An closely and walked forward.

After forcing Du Bendu to apologize, Chen Feng, who was pretending to be cool, turned his head handsomely and looked at the crowd again, but the fairy-like woman was no longer there.

He raised his head and looked outside the crowd, only to find that the girl had left and was shyly holding the hand of another man. The most important thing was that the man seemed to be more handsome than him.

Chen Feng's face fell instantly, and his good mood of pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face was almost gone.

It seems that she is a shallow and short-sighted woman. She is so beautiful, but she doesn't come to lick his lips, a great writer who can compose a poem in four steps, but instead follows a pretty boy native.

No vision!

……

"The idiot from the Chen family suddenly came to his senses and started to speak nonsense. Then he competed with Du Bendu, the son of the Du family, in poetry for the perfume sachet of a prostitute?"

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion and looking at the information collected by the Higanbana Organization, Su An could only sigh that he was worthy of being the protagonist.

Chen Feng is the only son of the Chen family, but because he was injured in the womb before birth, his soul is incomplete. He was in a daze after birth, and no famous doctors could help him. He was a well-known fool in the imperial capital. Until a few days ago, he suddenly recovered to normal and even spoke fluently.

This typical plagiarist protagonist is relatively easy to deal with.

However, this protagonist is not like the previous palace maids and eunuchs, nor is he a person without status. His father is General Chen Li of Huaihua, who has a certain prestige among military officers, so it is not easy to kill him directly.

Speaking of Chen Li, he had some impression of him. He remembered that this man seemed to be a supporter of the eldest prince before. Perhaps he could start from this aspect.

Su An sat in the Marquis' Mansion, enjoying Ye Lier's service, while thinking about how to create this new protagonist.

……

The fact that Chen Feng could compose a poem in four steps made his reputation spread throughout the imperial capital. In addition, the great scholar of Baichuan Academy personally praised Chen Feng as a poetic talent that only appears once in five hundred years, which made the matter even more sensational.

Some people say that Chen Feng’s previous ignorance was due to his spirit and soul leaving his body.

Some people also said that Chen Feng was just pretending to be a fool before, and was actually a rare genius. In short, there were all kinds of strange and bizarre theories.

Chapter 44 What should you call me?

The poem "I will not let down the Buddha and I will not let you down" has aroused discussions among many girls who yearn for love.

Some small families have even proposed marriage to the Chen family and wanted to form an alliance with them.

Although we don't know what the talent of the young master of the Chen family is for cultivation, but with this talent for poetry recognized by the great Confucian scholar himself, he can achieve considerable success in practicing Confucianism and Taoism.

Confucian and Taoist exercises are a variant of the current mainstream practice of Da Shang. They almost abandon talent and place more emphasis on understanding.

There is a saying that one day one will suddenly realize the truth and directly obtain the elixir of life.

However, it has great limitations. Not only does it only increase lifespan a little, but there is no set method for cultivation. So far, no one has achieved the primordial spirit through Confucian and Taoist techniques. Therefore, it is not popular, and is not circulated among the lower classes.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the season when winter chrysanthemums were in full bloom. Li Zishuang, the daughter of the Minister of Taichang Temple, suddenly sent an invitation to a group of young talents to hold a poetry gathering in Baihua Garden to make friends through poetry.

Li Zishuang was already a famous talented woman in the imperial capital, and her family background was also extraordinary, so many people were willing to give her this face.

And Chen Feng, the former fool who wrote a poem that shocked the imperial capital not long ago, was naturally also invited.

For the protagonist who wanted to show off, the poetry reading was an opportunity that could not be missed, so Chen Feng agreed without thinking.

He doesn't want to be a genius in poetry, he wants to be the immortal poet of the Shang Dynasty!

……

Baihua Garden is worthy of its name of Baihua. It is a famous manor in the imperial capital, where hundreds of flowers are always in full bloom, the grass is fresh and green, and the charm is compelling, like a paradise on earth.

The breeze and flowing water are quiet and peaceful, and the pavilions and towers in between blend with the surrounding scenery, which is very soothing.

This Baihua Garden is also the place where talented poets in the imperial capital most often hold poetry gatherings.

……

"Brother Chen, you're here!"

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Chen who can compose a poem in four steps?"

"I have long heard of your great name, Master Chen. I have the honor of reading your poems."

"What? It's the Chen Feng who wrote "Don't you see the water of Qin River coming from the sky?"

A group of scholars surrounded a handsome young man at the door and walked towards the garden.

Chen Feng nodded to these people reservedly, with a noble look, while his eyes were searching around.

I heard that the organizer of the poetry meeting, Li Zishuang, is not only a famous talented woman in the imperial capital, but also one of the four great beauties in the imperial capital.

The so-called four beauties of the imperial capital were actually selected by some gossipers and were not very authoritative. However, being selected as one of the four beauties was enough to illustrate Li Zishuang's beauty.

Chen Feng must have a good look at this kind of beauty.

Last time when they were competing in poetry on the street, he was ignored by the woman in the yellow skirt and felt depressed for a long time.

But I think that woman must be a vulgar person who doesn't understand his amazing poetic talent.

Li Zishuang, who is hosting the poetry gathering this time, is known as a talented woman with outstanding talent and learning. As long as she comes up with a few poems that are stunning enough, she will surely attract the attention of beauties, and even a kiss from her is not impossible.

With a foundation in poetry from his previous life, Chen Feng is full of confidence in his "talent".

……

at the same time,

A private room in Baihua Garden.

"Su An, are you going to deal with that Chen Feng this time?"

Li Zishuang first helped Su An put on his clothes, and then she wiped his buttocks, used her magic power to flick off some of the dirt on her body, and put on her clothes.

"What did you call me?" Su An raised his eyebrows.

"Master, Master." Li Zishuang bit the corner of her lip lightly and called out this title shyly.
