XVII. Write couplets

As soon as they heard about the free order, the eyes of all the women present lit up, although the free order may not have anything to do with them, but they felt very happy when they heard it. Pu Xiaoxiang, in particular, tried his best to instigate him: "Jiang Shuiyuan, hurry up and agree! There are not many opportunities to exempt the Blessing Building, and it is even more unheard of to make the Blessing Building free of charge, you must seize the opportunity and let them make some blood!"

Luo Youping feigned anger and said, "Look at your elbow turned out, believe it or not, I will expel you from the division?"

"Master, you can't bear it!"

Seeing that Yue Wenjing, Li Wenzhao and the others were also looking at him with a blank eye, Jiang Shuiyuan nodded reluctantly: "Since Old Man Luo is full of fists, then I can only be respectful and obey my fate." It's just that I've never played such a tall game before, if there is anything inappropriate, please give the old man advice, and a lot of Haihan!"

Luo Youping stroked his beard and said: "Little friend, don't be humble, the old man has heard of your heroic deeds of killing all sides at the Jiangning Hairpin Flower Meeting, forcing the young talents of the province to speak like a spring, and he will give me a big face in Huai'an Mansion." Thinking about this little thing will definitely not bother you. Come on, pen and ink are waiting!"

As soon as he heard the pen and ink waiting, Jiang Shuiyuan was immediately stunned: "Old man, if you want to say the right pair, I may be able to catch the ducks on the shelves, reluctantly give it a try." If you want to write and draw, I really can't come. You don't know, as soon as I pick up the brush, my hands shake like I have advanced Parkinson's disease, and I can't write at all. I beg the old man to raise his noble hand and let it go gently!"

Luo Youping also thought that Jiang Shuiyuan was polite: "Writing calligraphy is also regarded as the natural skill of the Chinese nation, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, who can not write a few words when he picks up a pen? The key is to be bold, and the words written boldly can be vigorous and vigorous, and will not be procrastinated and weak, which is annoying." In addition to being bold, coupled with Jiang Xiaoyou's talent full of poetry and books, I believe that even if it is ugly, it will be difficult to see where it goes!"

Jiang Shuiyuan secretly smiled bitterly: Old man, this is to drive me out of the big family of the Chinese nation!

Seeing that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were brought up, Luo Youping introduced them one by one: "This is the Qianlong Mingren Hall paper of the Qing Dynasty, it is the famous paper of the Yuan Dynasty imitated during the Qianlong period, the paper is thicker, and it can be unveiled into three or four pieces layer by layer. This is the Ming Dynasty Wanli Sun Ruiqing god ink, the ink surface carved double phoenix in the flying pattern, the texture is distinct, the spirit is flying, it is amazing. The ink body lacquer coat is thick and dark, the brilliance is moist, and the ice cracks are faintly visible, like gold wires and iron wires winding away, and the writing is absolutely shiny like lacquer......!

The reason why Luo Youping solemnly introduced pen, ink, paper and inkstone is mainly to arouse the interest of writing in the water source of the river. Who knew that Jiang Shuiyuan was already nervous, and when he heard that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were so precious, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to hold the pen: "Old man, my words are really very ugly, just ugly." If you don't believe me, you can just take a piece of ordinary rice paper and write it to you, so as not to spoil such a good thing!"

"It's good that many people like to write casually and find the feel before waving. ”

After Luo Youping saw Jiang Shuiyuan shaking the three words "Blessing Building" written on ordinary rice paper, he didn't speak for a long time, and only held back a few words for a long time: "Uh...... Jiang Xiaoyou's words are very simple and childlike. ”

Peng Min, Yue Wenjing, Li Wenzhao and others were already laughing breathlessly: "Alas, alas, I'm laughing to death! You say that such a handsome guy, the words written are so abstract, it's really shocking!"

Jiang Shuiyuan was so embarrassed that he almost found a crack in the ground to get into. He was just about to throw away the rice paper in a ball, but Pu Xiaoxiang snatched it away: "Since you don't want it, then give it to me! I'll go back and find a treasure to hide, and when you become famous one day, this is all black history, maybe when you look at it, you will have to pay for several meals in the Blessing Building!"

Jiang Shuiyuan glared at her angrily: "Little wealth fan, you just wait to smash it in your hands!"

"Then I'd love to!"

Jiang Shuiyuan didn't bother to take care of her, turned his head and said to Luo Youping slightly apologetically: "Old man, I'm really sorry, it's not that I don't want to write, but my own ability is really limitedβ€”β€”"

Luo Youping said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay, just like the anchovy is boneless, the kumquat is too sour, the lettuce is cold, and the begonia is not fragrant, there is no perfect thing in the world, let alone a perfect person." Jiang Xiaoyou himself has outstanding appearance, coupled with his proficiency in history, he is already a dragon and phoenix among people, if even calligraphy is like a floating cloud and a frightening dragon, then we should worry about you, after all, heaven is jealous!"

"Thank you!"

Luo Youping looked around: "Since Jiang Xiaoyou is not good at books, I don't know who here is willing to do it for you?"

Don't look at Yue Wenjing and Li Wenzhao smiling happily just now, now they have to take a break when it's their turn to show, and they all shrink their necks and don't speak. Out of the corner of Jiang Shuiyuan's eye, he caught a glimpse of Pu Xiaoxiang about to raise his hand, so he heard Peng Min take the initiative to ask: "Why don't I try it?" When I was young, I practiced Xiaokai with my father for a few years, and now most of it is abandoned, but it should be reluctant to be a recorder for Mr. Jiang. ”

As she spoke, she took down a small Tang scripture copying pen from under the pen holder, moistened it in the inkstone, pulled it over the rice paper and wrote a poem of Li Bai's "Spring Thoughts", and handed it to Luo Youping: "I don't know if I can enter the eyes of the old man?"

Jiang Shuiyuan clearly heard Pu Xiaoxiang snort coldly, and squeezed out two words "Dash" from between his teeth, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: If it wasn't for Manager Peng stepping forward, it should be you who is screaming now, right?

Luo Youping looked at it carefully, and praised it: "Very well written! Girl, you should learn Zhong Shaojing's "Lingfei Sutra", right? It seems that you have been immersed in prostitution for a long time, and your skills are very deep, and your writing is sparse and dense, varied, and full of fun. Although it is a regular script, it has the fluency and elegant charm of the calligraphy, and it is the most suitable for transcribing words and sentences. Jiang Xiaoyou, then please draw up a few couplets at the door of the private room, right?"

Jiang Shuiyuan pondered for a moment: "I see that the collection of Tang Dynasty poems hanging in this house is quite elegant, so it is better to follow the example of the predecessors and collect Tang Dynasty poems as a couplet! The upper link is 'Wine Fragrance Stays in the Guest', from Bai Juyi's "Cold Food Day Passing the Zao Tuan Shop"; the lower link is 'Poetry is good with the wind', from the fifteenth poem of Yao He's "Thirty Songs in Wugong County" (one work "Wugong County Idle Residence"). What do you think, old man?"

"The wine is fragrant to stay in the guest, the poetry is good with the wind, it is indeed very elegant, and it fits the atmosphere of the hotel very well. Not bad, not bad!" Luo Youping shook his head repeatedly, "Try it again?"

Jiang Shuiyuan replied: "Then 'the famous fragrance is full of windows, and Yuanxiu is on the pot', the upper link is from Cen Shen's "Qinglong Zhaoti Guiyi Master's Poem on Traveling to Wu Chu", and the lower link is from Cui Yuanhan's "Fenghe Shengzhi Chongyang Danri Bailiao Qujiang Banquet to Show Nostalgia". ”

Yue Wenjing's eyes widened: "Wow, Jiang Shuiyuan, you are so amazing, I haven't heard of these poems, you have actually read them, and you can memorize them!"

Pu Xiaoxiang snorted coldly again: "You know how to be cool and deceive other little girls!"

Senior Brother Jiusi, who had never spoken, said innocently at this time: "Five words are too short, can you be longer?"

"Longer, then seven words?" Jiang Shuiyuan saw that Jiusi Senior Brother did not object, so he said: "As far as I know, the ancients have prepared such a seven-word collection of sentences, and the battle is also very stable, one is 'persuade the king to drink a glass of wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you', the source should not need me to say, right? Another rumor is written by Mi Fu in the Song Dynasty, called 'Yangxian Spring Tea Yao Caobi, Lanling Wine Tulip', which is well known to the lower couplet, which is from Li Bai's "Guest in the Travel", but the upper link is not seen in the "Quantang Poems" , It is said that it was made by money, and I don't know if it was a poem or a fabrication by later generations. If Senior Brother Jiusi thinks it's inappropriate, you can replace it with the 'Yan Ji Tent Hibiscus Color' in Shen Yan's "Miscellaneous Songs and Balads", which should not be too inferior to the original. ”

Senior Brother Jiusi smacked his lips: "Yan Ji's tent is hibiscus, Lanling wine tulips, how does it feel a bit like what Qinlou Chu Pavilion uses? Can you change it?"

Jiang Shuiyuan thought for a while: "Then it's a little fresher and more refined? I said two for you to see, one is 'The Bright Moon in the Pine Room', from Song Zhiwen's "Song of the Lower Mountain", the lower link is 'What is the Foot of the Floating Clouds Outside the Body', from the fourth song of Bai Juyi's "Heavy Theme"; the other is 'Always Love This Victory', from Liu Changqing's "Send Sun Yi to Lushan to Get Sail Words", and the lower link is 'Where to learn and forget the machine', from Zhou Pu's "Tongbai View". It should be appropriate to hang it in a restaurant, right?"

Senior Brother Jiusi said, "What about a little longer?"

"How long is it?" Jiang Shuiyuan felt a little tricky, "As far as I know, Tang four-character poems are relatively rare, and even fewer can be put together into couplets. If you make it up, you can use the sentences in Sikong Tu's "Twenty-Four Poems" to gather, such as 'Bishan people come, the birds chase each other, Jin Zun is full of wine, and strange flowers are born'. ”

Senior Brother Jiusi shook his head: "Whether "Twenty-Four Poems" was written by Sikong Tu or not, I still have to say. What's more, you can completely ignore Tang poetry, as long as it is in ancient books, regardless of the subset of scriptures and history. ”

Jiang Shuiyuan smiled and said: "It's okay to have a subset of history? After letting go, I feel more difficult? Then I'll try the history department first! The upper joint uses "such a wind god, but you have to drink" in "Northern History_ The Biography of Lu Yuanyu", and the lower joint uses "The best situation, deserves to be a drama chess" in "Southern History_ The Biography of Yang Xuanbao", which should be able to form pairs. The sub-department uses the words of Jiao Jiao's "Yi Lin", 'The small window is bright, so that I can sit for a long time;

Senior Brother Jiusi was still unsatisfied: "Can it be longer?" I like Song Ci, it's best to use Song Ci to collect it!"

Pu Xiaoxiang, who was watching the excitement on the side, couldn't help it: "Hey, hey, Wu Jiusi, are you enough?" Five words can't be exchanged for seven words, seven words can't be exchanged for eight words, Fenghua Xueyue can't be changed for fresh and refined, Tang poetry can't be changed and the subset of scriptures and history and Song Ci are not finished, I said you are still finished?"

Yue Wenjing and Li Wenzhao also immediately stood on the same front and expressed strong support for Jiang Shuiyuan: "That's it, that's it! I know how to change the way to make things difficult for people, if you have the ability, how many can you try? Don't stand there and talk without backache!"

Wu Jiusi rubbed his hands and was about to defend, Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly said: "If you want to say that it is easier to use Song Ci to collect couplets than classics and history, after all, the plain sentences are read there, then I will try to correct a few." However, Senior Brother Jiusi likes Song Ci, and he must know the source of each sentence, so I won't come out one by one. Ten words, such as 'alone on the west building, the sky is faint and the Milky Way hangs down the ground; high pouring the Beidou, wine and snort like thunder'; fourteen words, such as 'weeping remnants of red, who sweeps the spring sky, ten days and nine wind and rain; lift the big white, in order to ask the old moonlight, what year is tonight'; fifteen words, such as 'the most flavorful, is incompetent, but drunk and awake, wake up still drunk; do not live, how to live, smile and return like a guest, guest like home'. How?" (To be continued.) )
