As soon as Bai Lao's third Shanglian came out, Liu Yi came out and said that he loved him to answer. At this time, Bai Lao was a little puzzled, seeing that the first two couplets were easily answered by the people, he had the intention to increase the difficulty, and now Liu Yi stood up and said that he could answer, and he couldn't help but think that the current people's cultural level is getting higher and higher.
However, since Liu Yi said that he could answer, Bai Lao also looked at Liu Yi. Seeing that Liu Yi was unmoved, he repeated what he said again: "My uplink this time is two, three, four, five, how do you answer?" It's better to say the reason for the answer, and then talk about the horizontal criticism, if you can't say it, I'll give the opportunity to others. ”
Don't underestimate the small number of words in this couplet, but it's very difficult. And to say why, it must be an allusion. However, Liu Yi seems to have really heard of it somewhere, and he has a very familiar feeling now.
But one is that he can't remember, although he said just now that he can answer, but now everyone sees that he can't remember and coaxes on the side, which means that everyone understands that it is to give the opportunity to the next one.
Bai Lao looked at Liu Yi and couldn't think of it for a while, so he said quite tactfully: "Then this little brother is thinking about it on the side, maybe he will think of it later, but the rules still have to be followed." I'll just give up the opportunity to someone else. ”
Liu Yi couldn't answer. Only the embarrassed one aside, who let him run up without hearing clearly, and then recklessly shouted that he could answer, making a joke.
However, Bai Lao asked this Shanglian next and asked a few people who automatically asked for it, but they didn't answer correctly.
A young man who despised Liu Yi just now also replied with a very funny "five-four-three-two". It caused everyone to laugh for a while.
Liu Yi stood aside and fell into deep thought. What is the answer to this? He vaguely remembered that he had heard that this couplet was related to a painter, but there seemed to be too many painters in ancient times. I can't think of it at all.
Looking at the lanterns not far away, the lanterns began to flicker, and before I knew it, the sky began to slowly darken. A few green bamboos planted by someone next to the market swayed in the evening breeze, and Liu Yi thought of a character in a flash of inspiration, and remembered this allusion.
Here, Bai Lao is a little regretful, no one answered the next couplet of the last couplet, except for Liu Yi's joke accident, the others are not much better, at first I thought that the people were good at water, but this time it was all exposed.
Disappointed, he turned around and began to tell the other workers to pack up their belongings and utensils, and if they didn't pack up, they would be even later back. Everyone is not young, but they can't afford to toss like when they were young.
"Wait!" A very abrupt voice sounded again, and as the crowd around him who was about to disperse stopped, still looking at the source of the voice as they had done at the beginning, ready to see again what answer he could answer, even if it was incorrect, it would win their laughter.
"Young man, do you have anything else?" Bai Lao saw that Liu Yi, who was more reckless at the beginning to answer the third couplet, asked kindly.
"I know if it's too late to answer this couplet!" Liu Yi looked at the others who were already packing up their things and said.
"It's not too late, I haven't stopped answering questions, so it's valid for you to say it now, but do you really know the truth?" Bai Lao looked at Liu Yi and asked again.
Liu Yi nodded, and Bai Lao immediately stopped the work of packing up the utensils, and then turned around: "I believe you, let's hear it!" ”
"This couplet you came out of the upper couplet is two, three, four, five, then I will tell you the answer, this is six, seven, eight, nine."
As soon as Liu Yi finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter around him. This answer is exactly the same as the answer of a young man "five-four-three-two" just now, there is no difference at all! They all thought that Liu Yi was Gu Quanzi and said an answer casually.
Bai Lao also smiled and asked, "Do you know what this answer is?" ”
The people around saw that something was wrong with the situation, and the calligrapher actually continued to ask Liu Yi what he said, and they all watched intently what Liu Yi said.
"This should come from an allusion, it's about Zheng Banqiao, right?" Seeing Bai Lao smiling and nodding, Liu Yi was even more convinced that what he said was right.
This allusion is about a poor Xiucai, and at the end of the year, a couplet was posted outside the courtyard gate, and the upper couplet was two, three, four, five, and the lower one was five, four, three, two. Zheng Banqiao passed by here with his friends, and without saying a word, he came to this courtyard with rice and clothes, knocked on the door and gave the rice clothes to the poor Xiucai. ”
The people around also listened to Liu Yi's explanation with great interest, watching the couplets and listening to the story, they thought it was worth coming here today.
Liu Yi didn't have time to look aside, and continued: "Later, a few friends who were with him asked Zheng Banqiao very incomprehensibly, 'How do you know that his family lacks clothes and food? Zheng Banqiao replied, "The whole couplet hanging outside his door is two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine, that is not the lack of one less ten, and its homonym is lack of food and clothing!" It dawned on his friend when he heard this. ”
After listening to Liu Yi's words, the dozen or so people who were close to hearing Liu Yi's words clearly also suddenly realized, and later passed on ten to hundreds, and the surrounding people understood the origin of this couplet and the horizontal criticism of "lack of food and clothing".
"Yes, it seems that you have a wide range of knowledge, I'll write you a couplet, how do you want a pair or I'll choose one for you?" Bai Lao patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and returned to the table where it had already been arranged.
At this time, Liu Yi couldn't care about recommending couplets by himself, and he was a little happy and confused. The surrounding people repeatedly said Bai Lao's identity and the price of the words he wrote, and hurriedly said to Bai Lao: "Why don't you ask Bai Lao to choose a pair for me?" ”
"Okay, wait a minute!" After speaking, he thought quietly for a while, and then waved the wolf's hair, and the pen swam away like a dragon and snake, and after a while, a large couplet and horizontal batch were naturally jumped on the paper.
Liu Yi walked over and looked at it, it was dragon dance silver, and he couldn't understand it in cursive writing, or Bai Lao Ha Lu Ha Da Lu explained to him with a smile: "The couplet I wrote for you is: Build a rich family, clear water and green mountains add splendor; Downlink: Camp harmonious society, singing and laughing around the courtyard, horizontal criticism: Taurus Xianrui. ”
"Xie Lu Xie Bai Lao's gift, I will take this back and keep it well!" Liu Yi said hurriedly.
"What is preserved, it is only valuable to write it out and hang it." Bai Lao objected.
"Okay, I'll go and frame it later." Liu Yi was a little reluctant, although it is one thing to be rich, this is hard to find.
"It's yours and yours. Okay, we should really leave this time, otherwise we will be nagged by the old woman when we go home. Although Bai Lao said something about his wife's nagging, he looked at his expression with a smile on his face.
It's not bad that I really came to the market this time, I gained so many things, and I also met the famous local calligraphers. Seeing the crowd disperse, Liu Yi was also ready to clean up, and would call his mother to go to dinner with him. (To be continued......)
