At this point, a female student carried a teapot into the hall and poured tea for everyone.
Everyone was deep in thought and didn't pay attention to her.
At this point, Tang Liu Feng's gaze landed on the female student.
At the next moment, his eyes widened in shock!
"Pu!"
He spat out the mouthful of tea that he hadn't swallowed in time.
Tang Liu Feng's face and neck were flushed red as if he wanted to laugh out loud but didn't dare to. He could only cover his mouth and try his best to hold it in as his body twitched uncontrollably.
Many of the scholars present were baffled by his actions.
However, there were quite a number of scholars who followed Tang Liu Feng's gaze and saw the female student. At this point, it was as if they had awoken from a dream and were enlightened.
Following that...
A burst of laughter rang out across the entire hall.
"Hahahahaha!"
"So … Sorry, I … I couldn't help it …"
"Young master Mo, haha … I'm really sorry! This is too funny! "
...
Someone was laughing out loud as he apologized to young master Mo. Nobody expected the situation to be like this. It was extremely comical!
"Hahahaha, brother Li, you … You …" Tang Liu Feng couldn't hold it in any longer as he laughed out loud. He laughed so hard that tears were about to roll down his face. He pointed at Xu Que and stammered the word 'you' for half a day.
He had been completely won over. Such a poem … There's no one else like it!
"Outrageous!"
At this point, Mo Yun Shang finally understood the meaning of the poem. He was enraged as he stood up and shouted. His eyes were wide open as he pointed at Xu Que, "You shameless scoundrel. How dare you recite such a despicable poem!"
Xu Que pretended to be confused as he shook his head, "Young master Mo, this poem of mine was very pure and innocent. I'm just asking you to wash your hair when you're free. How is it despicable?"
"You still dare to quibble? Lady Ya, I suggest that we chase this lecher out of the courtyard. Don't let him affect the mood of everyone here!" Mo Yun Shang was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He looked at Lady Ya and said.
At this point, Madam Ya finally understood the meaning behind the poem and was trying to hold back her laughter. When she saw Mo Yun Shang suddenly turn around, she hurriedly retracted her laughter and pretended to be calm. However, she couldn't say a single word.
At this moment, Xu Que stood up again and said, "As the saying goes, looking at a mountain is not a mountain, looking at water is not water. As long as the heart is pure, the poem will be pure. If the heart is dirty, the poem will naturally become dirty.
Young Master Mo, actually, I just wanted to test the purity of everyone's heart. Look at Lady Ya, she hasn't even smiled from the beginning to the end. Obviously, her heart is very pure, but you … sigh! "
After saying that, Xu Que sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
"You …" Mo Yunshang was unable to refute this as he stared at Xu Que, his face was filled with rage.
Everyone present paused in shock. Soon after, they looked at Lady Ya who was silent. Everyone who was laughing immediately stopped laughing.
Tang Liu Feng hurriedly covered his mouth as well.
At this moment, the entire hall was silent once again.
Looking at a mountain is not a mountain, looking at water is not water.
When Xu Que first said this, everyone didn't quite understand. They felt that this sentence was contradictory and illogical. However, after hearing Xu Que's explanation, they finally understood.
Xu Que had purposely written such an ambiguous poem. If anyone had any evil thoughts in their heart, they would naturally think that this poem was an obscene poem.
Seeing that everyone was holding back their laughter, Xu Que laughed out, "Young Master Mo, why don't you ask everyone here, who thinks that this poem is dirty?"
When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads or averted their gazes, cursing out in their hearts.
Damn it, it's this trick again!
Just now, he came up with a riddle to mislead us into guessing that it was our penis. He even said that it was our fault for guessing incorrectly.
Now he's using this trick again. Whoever says that the poem is dirty is the one who's dirty? Pei! We won't fall for it!
Having learned their lesson, coupled with Lady Ya's attitude, everyone pretended to be deaf and mute, pretending that they didn't understand Xu Que's poem.
"Li Bai, you …"
Mo Yunshang was infuriated as he pointed at Xu Que for a long time. Finally, he cleared his throat and placed his hand down before returning to his seat.
Young master Zhao, who was standing by the side, glanced at Xu Que, the look of disdain on his face was even more obvious.
Xu Que looked at the leader of the four great students, young master Zhao, and sighed to himself. To be able to act tough to such an extent, his cultivation level shouldn't be any lower than mine! Looks like this young master Mo was just an appetizer. The truly powerful one is still young master Zhao!
At this point, Lady Ya, who had finally managed to suppress her laughter, finally opened her mouth and broke the silence.
"Everyone, since we're all gathered here, I hope that today, we'll only talk about poetry and make friends. We won't talk about personal grudges. What do you think?"
She looked at the crowd and spoke with an authoritative tone. When she finished speaking, she smiled at Xu Que and said, "What a good poem, 'Looking at the mountain is not the mountain, looking at the water is not the water'. Young master Li's talent is not in that poem, but in that one sentence. Everything else aside, this sentence alone contains the principles of heaven and earth. It's enough to be recorded in history … "
Since even Lady Ya had spoken up and stood on Xu Que's side, the crowd of students hurriedly clasped their hands and said, "Lady Ya is right. Today, we'll only talk about poetry and songs!"
"That's right. Tolerance is a virtue for scholars. Even if we have a grudge, we shouldn't settle it in front of Lady Ya!"
...
Furthermore, Xu Que's words, "Looking at the mountain is not the mountain, looking at the water is not the water." At this time, when everyone carefully thought about it, they had a different kind of understanding. Even many scholars who couldn't understand cultivation suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, as if there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
This sentence contained the principles of heaven and earth. It was enough for people to ponder over it for the rest of their lives. Therefore, just based on this sentence from Xu Que, most of the students couldn't underestimate him.
Mo Yun Shang's status was highly regarded by everyone. However, compared to Lady Ya, Mo Yun Shang was a notch lower. At the very least, before he became an official, his status couldn't be compared to Lady Ya's.
Therefore, with Lady Ya's words, no one dared to object!
Therefore, Mo Yun Shang could only grit his teeth and bear with it.
However, who was Mo Yun Shang? He was one of the four great students of Bright Saints College. His title of 'King of Poetry' was not undeserved.
After suffering a loss, he naturally wouldn't let it go. He couldn't swallow this anger, but he also couldn't lower his status in front of so many students.
