Chapter 129 Qiting bet wins

In Kaiyuan, the poets Wang Changling, Gao Shi and Wang Zhihuan are equally famous.Once, they met at Qiting for a drink.When I was half drunk, more than a dozen men and women from Liyuan Leren also came upstairs to have a banquet.The three of them moved to the wine table in the corner, watching what the musicians were going to do while roasting the fire.After a while, four more young and beautiful actresses also came. They were very fashionable and had a good temperament.These musicians were all famous actors at that time.Wang Changling and the other three met and said: "We have several famous poems, but we can't tell which one is better. Today we quietly listen to those musicians singing, and whoever sings more poems will be the best."

After a while, a musician sang out of the festival: "Cold rain and rivers enter Wu at night, Pingming sees off guests in Chushan Gu. Relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, a heart of ice is in the jade pot." ".Wang Changling drew a mark on the wall with his hands and said: "A quatrain." After a while, another musician sang, and she sang: "Open the suitcase with tears in my eyes, and see the book from the day before the king. Yetai He Lonely, still living in a cloud." These are the first four sentences of Gao Shi's "Crying for Single Father Liang Jiu Shaofu".Gao Shi also painted the wall with his hands and said: "A quatrain." Another musician sang: "When the broom is opened in the Ming Dynasty, the fan will be forced to wander around together. The beauty is not as beautiful as a jackdaw, and it still brings the shadow of Zhaoyang." It is Wang Changling's "Chang Xin Qiu Ci".Wang Changling drew another trace on the wall and said: "Two quatrains."

Wang Zhihuan thought he had been named for a long time, but before the musicians sang his poems, he said to Wang Changling and Gao Shi: "The musicians who sang your poems just now are ordinary musicians, and they are only worthy of singing "Xia Li" and "Ba Li". How can they sing "Yangchun" and "White Snow"." He pointed to the most beautiful actress among the musicians and said, "When she sings, if it is not my poem, I will never dare to sing it in my life." I have won the battle with you. If she is singing my poems, you will take me as your teacher." After a while, the most beautiful actress began to sing, and she sang: "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds. , an isolated city of Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows? The spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass." This is Wang Zhihuan's "Liangzhou Ci".Wang Zhihuan pushed the second son and said: "You bumpkin, I'm not wrong." The three of them laughed.

The musicians didn't know what happened, so Wang Changling told the musicians about their winning bet.When the musicians heard that they were the authors of these poems and the people they usually admired, they quickly got up, bowed down and said, "We mortals don't know gods with our naked eyes, so I hope you don't take offense." They were invited over again Drinking together, the three happily agreed, until they broke up happily.
