Ancestor, let's get started! Cao Yi said in a deep voice, "Which couplet do you want to know first?" ”

"Wangjianglou, Wangjiangliu, Wangjianglou Wangjiangliu, Jianglou is eternal, Jiangliu is eternal...... Let's talk about the next link of this sentence first! Diao Suo said urgently, he thought about this link for a long time, but unfortunately it was not perfect, whether it was the degree of neatness or the artistic conception, it was a little worse.

Cao Yi showed a smile on his face, poured the wine in his glass, and then walked to the bed, because it was night, the full moon was hanging high outside the window, and it was particularly dazzling in the night sky.

"Fisherman, could you please come over and see what's in there?" Cao Yi pointed to the cup and said to the fisherman.

"Isn't there wine in the cup, what else?" Fisherman muttered in reply as he walked over and looked in, "Oh, and the reflection of the moon, what's wrong?" Nothing else? ”

Everyone present looked at Cao Yi suspiciously, does this lower link have anything to do with wine or the moon? However, they haven't thought about it yet, Yu Youwei also looked at Cao Yi expectantly, for these pairs, except for Cao Yi, no one else knows, because since they said that they would be used as a means to attract customers in the Drunken Immortal Building, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not ask about the next link.

Cao Yi smiled and pointed to the moon shadow in the cup, "What if you replace the cup with a well?" ”

"Well?" Everyone recounted suspiciously, but did not understand the meaning behind Cao Yi's words. Wang Honghua asked Lu Xiaofeng, who had been touching his beard, in a low voice: "Four eyebrows, do you know what it means?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "It's too difficult, I'm not good at pairs, I can't guess." ”

Cao Yi looked around and found that everyone was in the clouds, so he had to speak: "Actually, it is the moon in the well that can be used to make the next link, and it is estimated that everyone can think about it if they think about it more, 'Printing the moon well, printing the moon shadow, printing the moon shadow in the moon well, the moon well for ten thousand years, the moon shadow for ten thousand years!'" ’”

"Wangjianglou, Wangjiangliu, Wangjianglou Wangjiangliu, Jianglou is eternal, Jiangliu is eternal; Printing the moon well, printing the moon shadow, printing the moon shadow in the printing moon well, the moon well for ten thousand years, the moon shadow for ten thousand years! The fisherman read out the upper and lower couplets aloud, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he said excitedly: "Sure enough, it is absolute, this joint work is stable and appropriate, and the sound is natural!" ”

Chen Gong also stroked his beard and nodded in praise: "It is indeed a rare and wonderful pair." ”

The others also nodded their heads in praise, and finally understood why Cao Yi had taken the moon shadow in the wine glass to remind them before.

"Cao Yi, did you have an uplink first, and then you happened to see the moon shadow in the well, so you thought of the downlink?" Gong Wen looked at Cao Yi and asked slowly.

"Sort of, when I was able to make the next link, I really saw the moon in the well and thought of it." Cao Yi hesitated, nodded and said.

Yu Su returned to his seat, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and said excitedly: "Sure enough, the article is natural, and the clever hand is even good, Cao Yi's couplet is worth floating!" ”

"Chengxuan, the reason why Cao Yi can make this link is also because he is usually well-read and has enough precipitation, so that he can get it in an instant, in the final analysis, you still have to accumulate enough of your own talents, so you have to work harder in the future, you must not be complacent, remember to be full of losses, and benefit from humbleness." Gong Wen suddenly preached to Shi Cheng.

Shi Chengxuan hurriedly stood up and bowed to his teacher: "Yes, teacher, the disciple will keep it in mind." ”

Everyone else also nodded secretly, what Gong Wen said to Shi Chengxuan was not to all the young people present.

"Cao Yi boy, this first joint is indeed perfect, the second joint is to visit the West Lake, mention the tin pot, the tin pot falls off the West Lake, pity the tin lake, what is this lower link?" After tasting the first pair, he asked about the second pair.

Cao Yi laughed after hearing this, and said loudly: "Actually, the next link of this pair, you have just done it before. ”

As soon as Cao Yi finished saying this, everyone was thinking in their hearts, did you just do it before? Didn't you just drink wine?

"Me? Done it before? Diao Su pointed to himself and asked suspiciously.

"Ancestor, do you want to try to think about it and try to couplet it?" Cao Yi nodded and said with a smile.

Diao Su groaned for a while, and finally gave up: "I can't think of it, Cao Yi, you can just say the next link." ”

"The next link is actually 'Qingjiu Bowl, over nine bowls, nine bowls of wine bowls, nine bowls of wine bowls, long-term regret of wine bowls'!" Because there are too many homophonies in it, if you just read it out, you can't hear it so quickly, so Cao Yi wrote the following couplet on the paper, and then held up the paper to show everyone.

"West Lake, Xihu Lake and Tin Pot have the same sound, and the wine bowl, nine bowls and Jiu Yi have the same sound, which is wonderful!" After reciting it, Diao praised it, and then couldn't help but drink a glass of Qinglian wine, and immediately reacted, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, if you serve wine according to the bowl, the old man really drank nine small bowls!" ”

Yu Youwei looked at Cao Yi proudly, and her heart was full of the image of Cao Yi pointing out the country and promoting words among many talented people and elders in the literary world.

Fei Haomiao also has the same mentality, his junior brother is really too demonic, while making his senior brother have a bright face and gratification, it also makes him feel a little pressure, the junior brother is too good, if his senior brother is not good enough, it is unreasonable......

"Lonely and cold and empty?" Diao asked again, this upper link is the same, the difficulty is that the lower link also has to be a side, he also thought about several before, although the side is the same, but there are signs of concave and hard construction, not very neat, flat is not very right.

"This uplink, in fact, is still relatively good." Cao Yi pretended to be forced again under the expectant gaze of everyone, said lightly, and then picked up the pen and wrote again. provoked the fishing to roll his eyes, it's better, it's better, it's better to listen to you here, right?

"'The end of the lingering red line' is this, loneliness is lingering, the cold window is on the red line, and the relationship is on the widow, that is, this empty word and the final word are slightly flawed, but the whole is also neat, and the meaning can also correspond." Cao Yi said as he wrote. "There is also a lower link is 'wandering micro-path wandering', the same hesitation corresponds to loneliness, micro-path corresponds to the cold window, empty words to apprentice words, widows to wandering, and can be counted."

Then the paper was held up to the crowd, and three lines of words were written on it, one line up, two lines down, and everyone corresponded one by one.

"Seconds! What a second! The fisherman patted his thigh with his hand and said happily. Why didn't I think of it in the first place? He then added, which made everyone present wonder.

"Diaosuo, don't say you didn't expect it, none of these people here thought of it, it's all the same." Gong Wen looked at Diao Su and smiled.

"Cao Yi, I now believe that you have the talent of immortals!" Diao Suo glanced at Cao Yi with complicated eyes, and praised sincerely. Even Duke Chen and Duke Wen admired Cao Yi very much, and envied Duke Lu in their hearts for accepting a good disciple.

"The kid doesn't dare to be, and the fishing is ridiculous!" Cao Yi hurriedly bowed and excused himself.

"It's okay, it's just a compliment in a private banquet, Cao Yi, you don't need to be cautious." Yu Su laughed and said, "What about the lower link of 'smoke along the eaves of smoke swallow eyes'?" And what kind of it. ”

If it is said that the previous "lonely cold window is empty and widowed" is the same side so it is difficult to the outside world, this "smoke along the eaves smoke swallow eyes" is the same sound as the seven words, but different tones, this is much more difficult than the "tour of the West Lake, the tin pot, the tin pot off the West Lake, the pity of the tin lake" is much more difficult. Moreover, the word "along" and the second word "smoke" in these seven words are verbs, and the difficulty of this coupling is not only the homophony of seven characters, but also the formation of the reels makes this coupling even more difficult!

"This is really difficult, I only thought of 'foggy black house fog nothing', it's hard to say that there will be better couplets in the future!" Cao Yi wrote the following couplet on paper and displayed it.

"The smoke is along the eaves of the smoke swallow eyes, and the fog covers the fog of the black house, which is also absolute! Four are absolutely, no, it's five, and there's also a 'smoke lock pond willow'! Diao Suo said excitedly, others sometimes can only come up with one absolute in their lives, and they don't necessarily want to get the upper link, but they didn't expect Cao Yi to be able to get along with five absolutes just by himself, the key is that he can still come out, this is the place of evil, but to say that the most difficult thing is the absolute "smoke lock pond willow".

This pair itself is the most well-known among the many eternal absolutes, so at that time Cao Yi will use this to make a couplet, these five words correspond to the five elements, specifically fire, metal, water, earth, and wood. At the same time, the whole sentence of the smoke lock pond willow has a deep artistic conception, especially the word lock, which is the finishing touch, which makes people stunning. On the other hand, the Great Yan Dynasty is now on fire, and the four countries correspond to gold, water, earth, and wood respectively, and the fire of the Great Yan is at the front, and it also locks the corresponding countries behind, which is also another meaning.

Therefore, if you want to make this couplet, you must also start with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and you must respect the word fire, the key is that the artistic conception must be comparable to the "smoke lock pond willow", and all kinds of conditions are integrated, so this couplet is even more difficult.

Cao Yi smiled lightly: "This smoke lock pond willow is really difficult, and it took a long time to think about it before I came up with two lower links." ”

"Two? You have two downlinks in mind? Diao Suo asked excitedly, and the others were also in an uproar, they racked their brains and couldn't think of one, Cao Yi actually had two downlinks! What a demon.

"Well, two, I don't know if you have read Bai Letian's "Except the Night"?" Cao Yi asked with a smile.

""Except the Night"? Brother Cao, you are saying that 'sick eyes sleep less, not keeping the old age, and the old heart is full of feelings and spring.' After the fire was over, there were sixty people. 'This one?' Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Cao Yi nodded, "That's right, it's the one recited by Brother Lu, and it can be said that the next couplet comes from the third sentence of this poem." ”

"After the fire is gone?" Everyone is reciting in their hearts, thinking about how this sentence is related to the lower link of "smoke lock pond willow", and now there are two words of "fire pin", and then the words of the three five lines of water and civil engineering are left behind, but according to the upper couplet, the fire alone is not enough, and the fire must be made to become a side, and then form a short sentence with a lot of meaning. But even that was very difficult, at least they hadn't figured it out for a long time.

Cao Yi did not speak, but wrote on the paper with a brush in his hand.
