Chapter 24: Pairs
After eating, Cheng Ran took Li Junshou's business car to the venue of the poetry conference that Chen Liguo said.
There is a very ornamental artificial lake behind Kyoto University, which is the venue for the poetry conference, Li Qiuxue accompanied Cheng Ran to the registration office and handed over Chen Liguo's letter of recommendation to Cheng Ran.
As for Li Qiuxue, who accompanied Cheng Ran as an escort, and Li Junshou, as the vice president, was honored to be recommended by Chen Liguo to be a judge.
Since Cheng Ran and the others entered at six o'clock, Li Qiuxue, who was idle, took Cheng Ran to the pair like a girl.
"Do you like pairs?"
Cheng Ran asked Li Qiuxue, who was a little complicated, and Xing Chongchong's research pair.
"Just interested. ”
Li Qiuxue frowned and studied the pair in her hand.
The rule here is that there is a reward for each pair, and most of them are just worthless knick-knacks, especially for those students who can get into Kyoto University.
However, the literati play this elegant tune, and what they want is the environment where there is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding.
Cheng Ran didn't care, just followed Li Qiuxue and watched.
As for what to say about the pair, Cheng Ran, a science student, is naturally not interested at all.
But the goddess back then was a liberal arts student, and she loved pairs for a while, which also caused Cheng Ran to understand a little bit.
"Hey, Cheng Ran, how can you help me see this 'less water and sand is now appearing'?"
"It's an earthen embankment. ”
Hearing Cheng Ran say this, Li Qiuxue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly wrote down excitedly, holding the pair and claiming the prize to the old man at the prize redemption office.
"What about this 'silkworm is the bird of the world'?"
"Hong is a riverside bird. ”
"The thief does not come, but the Taoist comes. ”
"The idler is exempt from entering, but the virtuous are entering. ”
"There are also phoenixes falling and sycamores falling phoenixes. ”
"Beads and lotus beads. ”
...............
Along the way, Li Qiuxue picked up the sign, Cheng Ran glanced at the couplet, and before he knew it, Li Qiuxue had already hugged a big push of the sign, which attracted the attention of many students.
"It's almost okay, and if you keep playing, others won't have to play. ”
Seeing that Li Qiuxue still wanted to continue to pick, Cheng Ran hurriedly stopped him, his throat was about to burst into flames when he kept talking along the way, if he let Li Qiuxue continue to play, it would really cost Cheng Ran his life.
"Hmm... Okay. ”
Li Qiuxue saw that there were indeed a lot of small brands in her arms, and the main thing was that Cheng Ran was right, as long as she showed Cheng Ran a look at this guy, she could come out in seconds, and it didn't seem interesting to play.
Put away the small sign and put it in front of the old man who redeemed the reward.
The old man looked at Cheng Ran behind Li Qiuxue with a smile, and asked his students to hug these pairs down and exchange rewards for Li Qiuxue.
"Young man, if you have a hand on the right pair, you might as well have a trick with me, a bad old man. ”
"Sir, you have lifted me. ”
Cheng Ran did not have any contempt because of the old man's old age, and hurriedly said politely.
"I just know a little bit about where I can fight you. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Ran also used his index finger and thumb to draw a thin gap and show it to the old man.
"Hehe, there aren't many young people as modest as you now. ”
The old man glanced at the sign on the side, there were at least twenty of them, and he could make more than twenty pairs in such a short period of time, even he had to be very serious.
"If people want to play, they should play with them. ”
Li Qiuxue elbowed Cheng Ran, Cheng Ran may not know the identity of the old man in front of him, but Li Qiuxue has taken classes under the old man, but the two of them have a tacit understanding at this time, and they both want to see how much Cheng Ran's little bit is.
"Then give it a try. ”
Cheng Ranhan said with a smile, took Li Qiuxue and took a big sip of the mineral water won by the pair and said.
"You please. ”
"Okay, then I'll start with one. ”
The old man smiled and pondered, and the nearby students who were interested in the pair gathered around, they were basically the students of the old man, and they were all curious that someone dared to challenge their teacher.
"Waterways are not allowed to stop boats, and boats are not allowed to travel on the continents. ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the onlookers pondered and applauded after understanding the literal meaning.
"Teacher, this pair of seconds, Zhou, Zhou, if you don't understand the literal meaning alone, it will be 108,000 miles away. ”
"That's not to look at who the teacher is, he's ......... today"
"Tianxin Pavilion Pigeon Pavilion, Pavilion Pigeon Flying Pigeon does not fly. ”
Before one of the students could speak, Cheng Ran slowly made the next couplet.
"Okay, Tianxin Pavilion, the pigeon falls in the pavilion, the pavilion flies and the pigeon does not fly, it is really a hero out of a young man. ”
The old man pondered slightly, and instantly understood the meaning of Cheng Ran's next link, and couldn't help but applaud.
Although the other onlookers had not yet reacted to what Cheng Ran meant, their teachers applauded and applauded.
"It's you, young man, I'm going to see how much you have. ”
The old man said with a smile, feeling more and more interesting about Cheng Ran.
"The golden willow by the Jinshui River The golden willow wears the goldfish mouth. ”
"Yes, but it's not hard for me, old man. ”
The old man said with a smile.
"Hosta flowers outside the jade pole Hosta flowers are inserted into jade heads. ”
"Good !!"
Before Cheng Ran could speak, a group of onlookers around him suddenly applauded, the previous pair was a little slow to understand because of homophonic words, but this pair was much simpler.
Cheng Ran nodded and motioned for the old man to come out of the right.
The old man pondered slightly, looked at the moon in mid-air and spoke slowly.
"The moon is full in the sky, the moon is half on earth, the moon is full on earth, the moon is full at the beginning of the month"
"That's right. ”
The students pondered slightly, and immediately understood the meaning of the old man's right, and applauded.
The old man looked at Cheng Ran's eyebrows and frowned slightly, and suddenly laughed happily in his heart, this pair is beyond the level, if he usually can't make such a satisfactory pair.
"The end of this year, the beginning of next year, the end of the year, the beginning of the year. ”
"Yes, yes!. ”
The old man's snow-white eyebrows raised slightly, he was such a perfect pair, this little guy didn't get it right in two minutes, and even he, the questioner, still came up with a satisfactory next link.
"You use the moon to make the right one, then I'll use the moon to make one. ”
Cheng Ran stared at the moon above the sky and said with a smile.
The old man nodded and said yes, he is a generation of literary masters, if he shows his timidity in the field where he is best at pairing, he will not let his colleagues and friends laugh to death.
"The moon is full, the moon is missing, the moon is full, the years are old, the morning is dawn, the twilight is at the end of the night. ”
"This ......"
Sweat began to slowly appear on the old man's forehead, and this little guy was a little bit too much.
The other students also looked at Cheng Ran in confusion, the literal meaning was not difficult to understand, but they couldn't get a fair pair right.
However, the old man is a generation of literary masters, and after pondering for a while.
"There it is!"
"Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and bloom, summer, summer, autumn and autumn, summer and summer are cool and cool, and spring begins after the harsh winter. ”
"That's right, it's not a teacher. ”
"The flowers bloom and fall to the full moon and the lack of the full moon, the full moon and the lack of the moon are at most half a month and a month for us, and the flowers bloom and fall is the meaning of a lifetime, which is still a teacher's superior skills. ”
............
The old man's old face was red and white when he was praised by his students, but it was not easy to have a seizure on this occasion, so he could only cough softly and said.
"This time we're going to use the pot as the theme. ”
"Visiting the West Lake, mentioning the tin pot, the tin pot dropping the West Lake, is a pity for the tin lake. ”
Cheng Ran chuckled lightly, before the onlookers could react.
"Over Nanping, sell blue bottles, blue bottles, get Nanping, rare blue bottles. ”
"This..."
The old man gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the originally kind smile on his face gradually became a little embarrassed.
Cheng Ran naturally saw that the old man seemed to be a little uncomfortable, after all, the old man sweated less, and he didn't dare to ask the question at this moment when he saw the old man sweating profusely, and hurriedly said.
"Grandpa, are you alright, why are you sweating so much. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, let's move on. ”
The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his smile gradually changed a little hard, and he motioned for Cheng Ran to ask the question.
"Okay, otherwise, let's come up with a question and see who's right?
"Okay, you kid can tell me what a good question you have. ”
Cheng Ran said with a smile.
"What do you think of the 'Smoke Lock Pond Willow'?"
"What is this? It's not that hard. ”
Before the old man could speak, his students couldn't help but speak.
"How could our teacher's talent and ability be stumped by this kind of trivial question. ”
"That's it, that's it, I think you're insulting our teacher!"
...............
A group of students questioned Cheng Ran angrily, for a student who can be admitted to Kyoto University, he naturally has a very high arrogance in his heart, Cheng Ran's talent is recognized by them, after all, people who can compete with teachers are indeed worthy of their respect.
But when you come up with a five-character pair, it is neither a homophonic pair nor a literal pair, it is really simple.
"Nonsense!"
Just as a group of students were crusading against Cheng Ran, the old man slapped the table angrily and said.
"Okay, right? You guys are thinking about it carefully, is this pair really good, right? It's good that it's in Kyoto University today, if you are still like this when you go out of this door, it's better not to say that you are my Zhang Shouyi student, the old man can't afford to lose this person!"
"This ............"
Suddenly, a group of students were speechless, and they all looked at Zhang Shouyi with some confusion.
"Haven't figured it out yet!"
Zhang Shouyi looked at a group of people and still didn't understand, frowned and said in disappointment.
"Sideways. ”
Li Qiuxue said softly on the side.
Cheng Ran glanced at Li Qiuxue unexpectedly, generally people who hear this poem for the first time, it is really difficult to notice the true meaning of this poem if it is not reminded by others.
"Sideways?"
Everyone muttered, and gradually understood what Li Qiuxue meant.
"This ...... This side contains gold, wood, water, fire, and earth!"
Gradually, some students who reacted quickly understood the key and looked at Cheng Ran with some shock.
"What the hell is this!
Zhang Shouyi looked at Cheng Ran's always unfazed face and sighed, when Chen Guoli praised Cheng Ran in front of him before, he was still a little disdainful, after all, a young man under the age of thirty is just a young man, even if he can make good poems, there is a large part of the luck component.
A few of my students have also written a few good poems, but they are only a few sentences that are not true.
But when I dealt with Cheng Ran today, I found that this child's talent was really as terrifying as Chen Liguo described.
"The demon of the wicked!"
