A group of people had already determined that Bei Yutang could not write poetry.
“You’re right. It’s just a game, so just do it casually.” Bei Yutang neither admitted nor denied it, and her behavior made them more certain.
Ge Hong and others began to compose corresponding poems based on what was written on the note.
Bei Yutang listened to the poems of several people and thought that they were all good.
In the end, only three people were left, Bei Yutang, Zuo Chen, and Li Mengmeng, who had not started yet.
Li Mengmeng said, “Why don’t we let Master Zuo go first, and the two of us women go after him?”
When the beauty spoke, the group of people who had already been conquered by her naturally agreed readily.
Zuo Chen did not refuse and recited it directly.
“Why do you look at the water? The clouds are dreamy and floating like ghosts. I look at the mountains myself. The mist is dark and ethereal.
If you look at me, I will see a lotus in the wind. If I look at you, I will see a trace of the moon in the smoke.”
“Master Zuo, this poem impresses us.”
Bei Yutang’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “What a good poem.”
Li Mengmeng said with a smile: “I have heard that Master Zuo is very talented. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved. I am lucky that this little girl can listen to Master Zuo’s poems today.”
Zuo Chen said a few words calmly, “That’s too much praise.”
Ge Hong looked at Li Mengmeng and Bei Yutang. Of course, most of his attention stayed on Li Mengmeng, and Bei Yutang was just incidental.
“It’s up to the two girls now. Who will go first?”
Li Mengmeng looked at Bei Yutang with a smile, “Sister Bei, would you please go first?”
Bei Yutang declined and said, “Sister, please go first.”
Li Mengmeng didn’t seem to be able to refuse her, “Then, I’ll show you my ugliness first.”
Everyone looked at Li Mengmeng with great anticipation.
In their eyes, Li Mengmeng was a beautiful woman with great dancing skills and excellent musical skills. She was a truly talented woman.
As for composing poetry, they thought that it would be no problem for her to do so.
“The topic given by Lord Zuo is a seven-character poem with flowers as the theme.”
After Li Mengmeng finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then held a silk fan in her hand, and chanted softly, “Don’t go home when you are proud or frustrated. Don’t tell people about your old romantic life. If it weren’t for the village flute blowing on the plum cheeks, who would have thought that the snow and frost were already all over your head.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ge Hong couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“Good poem.”
“Miss Li, you are a talented woman of the time.”
A group of people praised her again.
Li Mengmeng looked shy and said delicately, “I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it.”
She watched Zuo Chen’s reaction out of the corner of her eye. His expression did not change. It was hard to tell whether he was satisfied with the poem she had written.
“Master Zuo, are you satisfied with the poems I wrote?” Li Mengmeng did not guess and asked him directly.
Zuo Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and replied lightly, “It’s okay.”
After hearing this, Ge Hong and others all looked at the beauty with a worried look, fearing that the beauty would be heartbroken after hearing it.
Li Mengmeng looked normal, not disappointed, and still had a faint smile on her face, “Master Zuo, your comments are right. It seems that I still need to learn more.”
Zuo Chen did not respond.
Li Mengmeng cleverly changed the subject, “Sister Bei, you are the only one left now.”
Bei Yutang looked at the request on the note, “The theme should be love, and there must be hatred and sorrow.”
If she was really just a girl, she might only have ignorant love and an ignorant vision of love, but she didn’t know what ‘love’ was, let alone understand that if it was ’love’, and why there would be ‘hate’ and ‘sorrow’.
The topic Li Mengmeng posed was a bit difficult for an unmarried girl because she couldn’t understand it, so naturally, she could not come up with a good sentence.
