When he was studying at home in a private school, Li Dalong was particularly fond of "Lessons" - a textbook for learning to write couplets. He is always not satisfied with those commonplace couplets, and often uses ingenuity to speak surprisingly and refreshingly.

Every time there is a happy event in the Chinese New Year or a happy event in the Zhuangzi, the villagers have to bring gifts and ask him to write couplets. His calligraphy dragon flying phoenix dance is more popular than his father's.

What especially makes Li Dalong happy is that Li Feihu is impressed with him because of this, and naturally his vigilance and hatred for him have also decreased.

How did the careless Li Feihu know that Wu Pandi fell in love with Li Dalong through poetry, calligraphy and painting.

When Li Feihu moved out of the old house, Li Dalong cut a piece of red paper in half and wrote Li Zhangtong's famous couplet:

As long as you have money, rice, and poetry and books in your belly, you are the prime minister of the mountains; you don't need to take medicine to pray for longevity, but you want to be free of illness, worry-free, and have no creditors, and you can be a god on the ground.

Write three lines on each half of the paper. Writing a couplet on a piece of red paper is indeed a bit extravagant, but Li Feihu likes it very much, and is reluctant to stick it on the door.

He had an idea, took the portrait of Li Zhangtong from the old mansion and hung it in his hall, and pasted this couplet on both sides. Because in the house, the couplets are not exposed to wind and rain and sun, and they only need to be changed once in several years.

This is easy to understand, far-reaching, full of great wisdom, especially pasted on the side of Li Zhangtong's portrait, it is even more significant, and has won the praise of many relatives and friends.

According to Haixi's habits, during the first Spring Festival after Li Zhangnan's death, the Spring Festival couplets were not allowed at home, but relatives and neighbors still found Li Dalong, and Li Dalong naturally would not let go of this annual opportunity to display his talents and make money.

Li Dejin also came over with three pieces of red paper, put the red paper on the table and said, "Hello second master! I'll put the red paper here, I'll go and say hello to my grandmother and second aunt first, and then I'll come back to get the pair later. ”

Seeing Li Dejin talking with a big grin, Li Dalong was unhappy and said: "In the first year of the old lady's death, it is not appropriate to post Spring Festival couplets." Don't you know?"

"Second master," Li Dejin defended, "You can write Spring Festival couplets to make money, and the whole family of the Li family comes to write them, can't our family post them?"

"This ......" Li Dalong was speechless for a while, put down the brush in his hand and thought about it and said, "I'm here to help your family sell red paper! Don't be verbose here, go and say hello to your grandmother!"

......

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Feihu was busy pasting couplets as usual. The upper link was pasted, and he stood on the ladder with the lower link and gestured and said:

"Little Dejin, I have already pasted the upper link, and when you post the lower link, you will look as tall as the upper link. If it's high, you say, 'Ascend,' and if it's low, you say, 'Get rich.'" You see, is it 'ascending' or 'getting rich'?"

"Great, neither 'exalted' nor 'rich'. Li Dejin replied.

"You ......" Li Feihu was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he was about to say "little beheader", but when he thought that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, he had to suppress his anger.

"Little beheading" and "small breathlessness" are the usual names used by the people of Haixi to their children, especially when they are unhappy, they are regarded as slight scolding.

Li Feihu knows the saying that "good words do not work, bad words should be answered" during the New Year, so he must swallow his anger.

But although the qi was held back, Li Feihu's cough was uncontrollable. He was afraid that he would not be able to grasp the ladder with one hand when he coughed, so he dropped the earthen basin containing the paste that he held in his left hand. Unexpectedly, this earthen basin fell on Li Dejin's head impartially.

The earthen basin broke, and Lee Dekin fell to the ground. He didn't care about the paste on his face and body, and he held his head in his hands and rolled while wailing:

"Oh my god...... It hurts me to death...... Damn, it's a big killing!"

"Oh my God, what's going on?" Wu Pandi ran to Li Dejin's side and asked patiently while helping him up.

"I asked him if Lianzi was high or low, but he said unlucky things!" Li Feihu also came down from the ladder.

"It's the same height on both sides!" replied Li Dejin earnestly.

"Why didn't you say earlier that both sides are the same height?" Li Feihu complained.

"Didn't you tell me to say that?" argued.

......

After pasting the couplet on the courtyard gate, Li Feihu got down the ladder and stood in front of the gate, picked up another couplet from the ground and read it softly but very attentively: "Thousands of hammers and thousands of iron are smelted into steel, and the furnace is pure and the first saint of the people." ”

After carefully examining the powerful words, Li Feihu suddenly remembered Li Dalong's words:

"Our surname Li is wood, and there is a metal match in the name to take the lead in the five elements of 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth'.

Lord Zhongtang's real name is Li Zhangtong, and his brothers and descendants have metal in their names!"

These words were said by Li Dalong when he named Li Feihu's son, Li Feihu always felt that these words were reasonable, but now he climbed into his heart like a shadow, and muttered in his mouth:

"What kind of bullshit pair is he, as if his house is a blacksmith shop, does he want my house to be tinkling all day long?

Li Deyin replied excitedly: "Great, I have already seen it, I remember." You listen: the spring breeze persuades the wine and peach blossoms to get drunk, and the drizzle sings poems and willows are new. ”

As soon as he heard "Peach Blossom Drunk", Li Feihu was angry again: "Li Dalong, a cowardly pervert, actually wrote the ugly story of his peach blossom luck into the pair!"

What an insult to the ancestors! I have to go to your second grandmother and let her take care of this bastard!"

"Great, Second Master Mu also wrote tweed for our family! I read it to you: smell the fragrance of flowers, make people drunk, and add willow-colored ink to sing. Li Deyin said.

"What's the matter! It's all sassy, it's okay!" Li Feihu said, walked up to Li Deyin, snatched the couplet from his hand and tore it to pieces.

"Lao Tzu will go over there now and clean up your second master, a bastard!" Li Feihu said angrily.

"Dada, you just tore up all the evidence, why did you go to beat Second Master Mu? Besides, his pair doesn't mean anything bad!" Li Deyin said.

"You, you know what a fart!" Li Feihu said angrily, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Li Deyin said was also reasonable, so he hurriedly said, "You can see if there is any evidence!"

"This is no problem!" Li Deyin said happily, "Big, you wait! Second Master Mu likes flowers and willows whether he writes pairs or poems." ”

As he spoke, Li Deyin picked up the pile of couplets on the ground and examined them one by one.

After a while, Li Deyin exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, big! You see: just put the fragrance of flowers into the words, and dye the willow color between the lines." It's also 'floral' and 'willow'!"

"Okay!" Li Feihu exclaimed excitedly, "I'll settle accounts with him now!"
