The opening was over, Song Xuequan summoned Lu Jing and Mu Zhengnan to the front, and said: "The first competition couplet, by our eleven people alternately out of the upper link, which of the two of you first thinks of the next link, you can say, the first one wins, as for whether it is right, the old man believes that under the eyes of everyone, you will not talk nonsense, and in the end, the one who has more wins, can you two understand?" ”

Lu Jing and Mu Xiangnan both nodded yes.

The crowd near the high platform heard the conversation of several people and hurriedly relayed it to the people behind them.

After Song Xuequan ordered the audience to be quiet, he began to play the first couplet: "The bird knows the yuan machine, and the spring flowers are on the road." ”

As soon as his words fell, Mu Zhengnan said loudly: "Xiaowang has it!" ”

Song Xuequan, Zheng Chen and the others all looked at Mu Zhengnan in surprise, they didn't expect him to be so talented.

The audience was also stunned, they didn't expect this little prince to be so powerful, and he was able to make the next link in an instant after hearing it, and they all worried about Lu Jing.

When Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others saw this situation, their faces were all serious, if the other party was so urgent, I was afraid that Lu Jing would be in danger, and their eyes looking at Lu Jing were full of worry.

Lu Jing's face changed, and then he returned to indifference, looked at Mu Zhengnan, and waited for his next link.

Mu Zhengnan looked at Lu Jing and smiled, and arched his hand: "How offended, this little king got it first." ”

Lu Jing smiled and replied: "It's okay, I'm just going to listen to Your Excellency's wonderful right." ”

Mu Zhengnan then slowly saluted Song Xuequan, Zheng Chen and others, and then hugged his fists around.

Lu Jing was surprised to see him so polite, and he heard Mu Zhengnan say slowly: "The fish pierces the earth's veins and swallows the moon to the water's edge." ”

Song Xuequan saw that he was neat and tidy, his words and sentences were appropriate, and his artistic conception was right, so he nodded and counted him right.

Lu Jing failed in the first question, so he concentrated even more, and only listened to Zheng Chen's words: "Suddenly there is a boom and a bust and a grass dew. ”

As soon as Zheng Chen's words fell, Mu Zhengnan said again: "Xiao Wang has already come out!" ”

Seeing this situation, Song Xuequan and Zheng Chen's eyes flashed with a touch of melancholy, and the audience exclaimed and discussed, Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu and others had even more melancholy in their eyes.

Lu Jing didn't believe that the other party really had this talent, and he could be right in seconds, so he didn't think about the next link, and began to pay attention to his every move, seeing that he first bowed slowly to Zheng Chen, and then straightened his clothes, and heard him say to Zheng Chen: "Xiao Wang offended a lot in the Guozijian last time, and I hope your lord will forgive me." ”

Zheng Chen waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the skills of Guozijian students are not as good as others, and the old man is not good at teaching, so you have nothing to do!" ”

Mu Xiangnan saluted again: "Thank you for your forgiveness!" ”

When Lu Jing saw this, he instantly understood his routine, he didn't think of the next link, he just opened his mouth to seize the opportunity, so as to disturb his thoughts and make himself give up thinking, he slowly delayed the time, and used the time of conversation to think about the next link.

Thinking of this, Lu Jing secretly said in his heart that his heart was scheming, Mu Zhengnan's move not only established a reputation for being quick-witted, but also caused psychological pressure on himself, if he came a few more times, even if he noticed it, it would be useless.

Mu Xiangnan and Zheng Chen chatted a few more words, and it was not until Zheng Chen urged that Mu Xiangnan said: "Temporarily idle and snub Qiuhuai." ”

Zheng Chen nodded, praised it, and returned to his seat with a worried expression.

Then the third person asked the question: "A trick has a spring to the earth's veins." ”

When Lu Jing saw Mu Zhengnan speak, he said in a loud voice: "This couplet is simple, I have already made it." Silence his voice.

After finishing speaking, he turned to him and smiled: "I'm really sorry, this couplet has already been matched, but this time I took the lead!" ”

Mu Zhengnan was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "In this case, please say the next link." ”

Lu Jing smiled and saluted the questioner: "My lord is the deputy envoy of the Hanhai Kingdom?" ”

The man returned the salute and smiled, "Exactly! ”

Lu Jing smiled: "Didn't ask the adult's surname? ”

The man replied: "Don't dare to be, the old man is exempt from the surname Zhou." ”

"Mr. Zhou is polite!" Lu Jing said with a smile, taking advantage of the gap between chatting, he had already made the next couplet, and said: "Mr. This couplet is very ingenious, it can be seen that Mr. knows the Central Plains culture very well, and the next couplet is: There are no raindrops at four o'clock." ”

The deputy envoy of Hanhai State praised: "That's right, it deserves to be the top talent, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

Lu Jing said modestly: "Mr. has won the award!" ”

The deputy envoy of Hanhai Country smiled, then turned back to his seat.

When the surrounding audience saw Lu Jing win back a city, their worries decreased slightly, and they praised Lu Jing for his quick thinking and not losing to Mu Zhengnan.

Then the fourth person asked: "The snow crow turns, like a mess of wine, pear flowers and ink counting." ”

Lu Jing also operated, and made the following couplet: "Xia Tianyan passes, just like three lines of red brocade characters in a drunken book." ”

Mu Zhengnan saw Lu Jing make two couplets in succession, and realized that he had discovered his tricks, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Lu Jing to be so shrewd, not only quickly saw through his plan, but also used this method to counterattack twice.

So in the next few couplets, the voices of the two became higher and higher, and the speed of answering the phone became faster and faster, almost the examiner's last voice was still there, and the two of them had already spoken to each other.

The fierce confrontation between the two made the audience around them surging and nervous, and at the same time admired the intelligence of the two even more, if it weren't for their trust in Song Xuequan, everyone would have suspected that Lu Jing and the two of them had already known about the next link in advance.

Seeing this, Xue Baoqin couldn't help but say loudly: "Sister Lin, your husband is so powerful, sometimes the examiner's voice is not left, and he makes the next link." After thinking about it, he said, "The same is true of that person." ”

After the two began to fight each other, Lin Daiyu noticed that something was wrong, and after a careful observation, she found out the truth, and when she saw Baoqin asking, she forcibly concealed her worries and explained to her: "It's not that they are quick to think, you see that the two of them will exchange words before answering the question, just to delay time, and the reason why they have said in advance is to seize the opportunity." ”

Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and others listened to it, thought about it carefully, and sure enough, they all said in their hearts that the two of them were scheming.

Lin Daiyu saw that everyone understood, and explained for Lu Jing: "That person used this method at the beginning, and the clumsy man was deceived by him without checking for a while, but later he also used this method to fight back when he noticed it. ”

Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "Sister Lin, you are too humble, your family Langjun is not a clumsy husband, you can see through that person's conspiracy so quickly, it should be your good person." ”

Xue Baoqin closed her mouth in surprise and said: "I didn't expect it to be like this, if I encounter this incident, let alone detect any conspiracy, I'm afraid that after the fourth or fifth alliance, I will take the initiative to admit defeat." ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed with emotion: "Sister Lin can also see through this matter, and she is also a brilliant person, but she is a natural pair with Lord Lu." ”

While several people were talking, the confrontation between Lu Jing and Mu Zhengnan became more intense, and the two sides chased after me, and the score was always staggered, alternating leads.

The last few people who came up with the problem were exhausted, and they didn't want to use ordinary pairs to lower their level, so they gathered together to discuss.

Then Song Xuequan said to the two: "Both of them are quick and talented, so I don't know when to compare, now the number of couplets you are right is exactly the same, so the old man has discussed, and you will give each other a couplet, and the first to win the other party's upper link." ”

Lu Jing and Mu Zhengnan didn't want to be so entangled, and after the two looked at each other, they agreed, and then began to rack their brains to think absolutely.

Before long, Lu Jing thought of a thousand ancient absolutes, and said, "I have already thought about it." ”

Before the words fell, Mu Zhengnan said: "Xiao Wang also thought of it!" ”

Song Xuequan nodded to Mu Zhengnan and said, "In that case, it's up to you to say it first!" ”

Mu Zhengnan looked at Lu Jing and said: "Xiao Wang's couplet is: If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid, if there are fish in the water, then fish, the water will be water, and the rivers and lakes will be miao. ”

A few people nodded, and the upper link was a split word couplet, which was extremely exquisite, and then let Lu Jing come out of the upper link.

Lu Jing listened to his uplink, smiled, and said, "Smoke lock pond willow." ”

Mu Zhengnan couldn't help frowning after hearing this, this couplet seems simple, but it implies gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and it is a peaceful and peaceful law, so he began to think about it.

Lu Jing saw that his couplet was also related to the five elements, so he thought about it from the five elements, and it didn't take long for him to come up with the next couplet: "Under the wood is the foundation, above the wood is the end, wood and wood, pine and cypress, and Zhangsen." ”

Mu Zhengnan saw that Lu Jing had already come out, and he didn't have a clue, so he had to bow his head and admit defeat.

Song Xuequan and Zheng Chen thought hard about Lu Jing's couplet, but they couldn't match it either, so they asked him if he had a couplet.

Lu Jing said with a smile: "The next link is: Taoye Jinjiang Embankment." ”

After hearing this, several people nodded their heads and praised Lu Jing's talent, and at the same time announced that Lu Jing had won the first game.

The surrounding audience applauded when they saw Lu Jing win the first game, and Lin Daiyu's nervous mood eased a little when she saw this.
