The strongest young talent in history

Chapter 82

"Hehe, it's really rare that Master Chu is interested in writing the words of a little-known person! But this word is indeed a masterpiece. I wonder how much you can worry about it. It's like a river of spring water flowing eastward. Artistic conception!" In the supreme box, Mr. Zhao said with a light smile, shaking the folding fan in his hand.

"It's also his honor to be praised by my brother," Chai Zongxun complimented.

Then he said with some dissatisfaction: "This Chu Yiqing, relying on his reputation in the scholastic circle and being admired by those stubborn scholars, thinks of himself as noble, and even opposes his brother everywhere, that is, brother, you are broad-minded, so you stay he..."

Master Zhao waved his hand and said, "Zong Xun, you can't say that. Master Chu is just stubborn and not suitable for an official position, but his character and talent are worthy of the name and worthy of the admiration of scholars all over the world. He has now gone to court. , stop talking about it.”

Chai Zongxun nodded respectfully and said: "Zongxun made a slip of the tongue, but even though Chu Yiqing has gone to the court, he still has many former disciples in the court. These people usually sing praises to him and fight against injustice. Cause partisanship!"

After listening to Chai Zongxun's words, Mr. Zhao restrained his smile a little, and then said in a deep voice, "Why is the faction fighting because of Master Chu? On the contrary, when he was in power, he repeatedly criticized the matter of forming factions for personal gain. Party fighting is not his kind." It was caused by pure scholars."

"But……"

Before Chai Zongxun could go any further, Master Zhao said, "Okay, today is to participate in this auction, so don't discuss government affairs."

At this time, the outside quotations for Chu Yiqing's calligraphy also climbed to an extremely high level.

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

……

"2000 taels!"

After just a few quotations, someone had already quoted a high price of 2000 taels of silver, and the crazy bidding fell into a brief silence.

Chu Yiqing's disciples and old officials are all over the court. Among the dignitaries and dignitaries who came to participate in the spring auction today, many of them are his students. These people will naturally compete for Chu Yiqing's calligraphy. It is an honor to get a pair of Chu Yiqing's calligraphy. thing!
Su Mo, who was sitting in Shen Miaomiao's room, took a sip of fruit wine. The taste of this wine was very light, completely incomparable to those high-alcohol spirits of later generations.

With the drink in his stomach, Su Mo said dissatisfiedly: "This Chu Yiqing, doesn't he know how to respect copyright? Write my words, resell them to make money, didn't you know I was notified in advance? Be careful, I will sue him for copyright infringement! You are also a Confucian Well, you don’t understand any of this!”

Although Su Mo's words were babbling, Xiao Ziling and others did not fully understand them, but they did understand one thing, that is, Su Mo didn't seem to be happy that Chu Yiqing wrote his song "Poppy", at least he didn't want him to write it. Wrote this poem to make money.

Xiao Ziling said with some dissatisfaction: "Cut, it's your honor to be able to write your poems, Master Chu. How many people begged him to write, but he refused to write. You still choose? Master Chu is helping you to make a name for yourself, okay?" ?
Moreover, Master Chu is not someone who loves money like you. I heard Pavilion Master Liu said that this calligraphy is Master Chu's essay, which was secretly taken out by his grandson Chu Hongtu, and then auctioned here. "

Oh, it turns out that I met an unfilial descendant who loves money!He is still a great Confucian in the world, and his family tradition is nothing more than that, Su Mo curled his lips in disdain.

At this time, the first round of auction outside was completely over, and a customer on the second floor finally spent 300 taels of silver to win Chu Yiqing's calligraphy.

At the same time, in another luxury box on the second floor, five young men of similar age were sitting at the table, chatting with each other over wine.

One of them is Chu Yiqing's grandson Chu Hongtu. Su Mo's acquaintance Fan Jiang is also here. His father was born in the Imperial Academy, and finally ranked fifth in the imperial court. One of the protégés.

Apart from these two, the other three were also from wealthy backgrounds, especially the young man sitting on the main seat, who was even more extravagant.

This man is about 20 years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, exuding a rebellious aura from his body.

However, his unruliness does not make people think that he has a sharp personality, but the faint smile on his face makes people feel very approachable.

He was wearing a white robe, and he was holding a folding fan that scholars like to carry. The smile on his face never disappeared. Even Chu Hongtu was somewhat respectful in front of this man. Several people have the highest status.

After listening to the quotations outside, the noble man smiled and said to Chu Hongtu, "Congratulations, brother Chu, you actually won a high price of 300 taels of silver. Master Chu is indeed a great scholar in the world, and Wen Qi admires it."

Chu Hongtu pretended to be modest and smiled, and then he couldn't hide his pride and said: "The little prince has won the prize, and grandpa never cares about these false names."

The noble man smiled and said: "Brother Chu, we are about the same age. You are two years older than me. If you call me such a young prince, it would be a bit of a tribute. Why don't you just call me by my name, Chai Wenqi!"

Chu Hongtu didn't think much, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Then I'll ask you to call you Brother Wen Qi."

Hearing Chu Hongtu's words, Chai Wenqi nodded in satisfaction, but Fan Jiang secretly groaned in his heart.

This Chu Hongtu is really a nerd, like his grandfather, he is completely ignorant of official affairs.

The little prince said that to be polite to you, but if you just call it that, it would be presumptuous.

Such a thing as arrogance, at a small scale, is not a big deal, but at a serious scale, it is a serious crime of beheading.

Although Chai Yuqi's father is an idle king and never meddles in court affairs, he is the closest prince to the Holy One today, and you can't neglect it.

However, Fan Jiang's status was far inferior to Chu Hongtu's, and he didn't dare to tell Chu Hongtu what to do, so he could only secretly decide to stay away from this brainless guy a little bit in the future!So as not to get into trouble.

The other two young people who have not spoken are also the children of officials who have lived in Taikang County for a long time, but their status is not as good as that of Fan Jiang. Means to act.

At this time, Chu Hongtu asked again: "Brother Wen Qi, my grandfather has always liked the song "Poppy" very much, and he always said on weekdays that a talented person who can write such a good poem will definitely be able to write it in the future." He is a new star in the literary world of the Song Dynasty, and I want to meet him if I have time.

This time, I brought out his calligraphy without his permission. I may be punished by my grandfather when I go back. I wonder if you can help me find this talented writer who wrote "Poppy". For grandpa, he won't scold me too much then. "

Chai Wenqi smiled, and said confidently, "How difficult is this!"
