Although this Huang Yucheng is not very good at couplets, he will naturally not show weakness at this time.

Seeing that he agreed, Chen Siye directly said to the prince: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to prepare a pen and paper, I can't use what I say, I have to write." ”

The prince was bowing his head and pondering at the moment, when he heard this, he raised his head and waved directly to the maid on the side and said, "Go, do as Chen Gongzi said." After saying that, he lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon, someone brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and set up a desk in the hall.

A maid directly sharpened the ink, and Chen Siye approached and directly picked up the brush and prepared to write.

Although Chen Siye interrupted his words, Dong Qichang, a bachelor of Hanlin, did not show the slightest displeasure, but took the lead in getting up and approaching to observe.

Except for the crown prince, the rest of the people also got up one after another, wanting to see what his pair of upper couplets was, although Huang Yucheng was a little unhappy, but he was embarrassed to sit anymore, and also got up and walked to the side to watch.

As soon as they saw him put down the pen, everyone's eyes lit up, and they saw that the pen in Chen Siye's hand was like a dragon, and the power penetrated the back of the paper.

The others also stared at the pen in his hand, and their hearts were amazed.

Looking at Chen Siye's writing, what the county lord of Xuanyang and Qiu Ju said in their ears, they listened to Qiu Ju muttering again, now close, Chen Siye heard something, seemed to be talking about him, and couldn't help but wonder what Qiu Ju was doing.

After the couplet was written, Chen Siye let go of his body and asked everyone to come and see, and everyone looked at it, only to see that it was written on the paper: The sea is facing the chaochao, the chaochao is falling, these ten words.

This couplet is a homonym of polyphonic words, so it cannot be said, and if the sentence cannot be broken correctly, it must be confusing to see this couplet.

Sure enough, after reading these ten words silently in their hearts, everyone frowned, a little incomprehensible, and couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts: Is this a couplet?

After looking at it for a moment, Huang Yucheng sneered and said, "Isn't Gongzi Chen looking for me to be happy?" It's not a couplet no matter how you look at it, so how can I get it right? ”

Hearing that he came to a conclusion after just a moment, Chen Siye couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous, and sneered: "Since I have this upper link, there must be a lower link, if Huang Gongzi can't recognize it, don't say that this is not a couplet." I'm not like some people do useless things to disgust people. ”

Huang Yucheng boasted that he had learned from others, and when he heard this, he was immediately very annoyed, and bowed respectfully to the rest of the people: "Your Royal Highness, what brother do you have two adults, please see, is this a pair of uplink?" ”

The prince and the county lord of Xuanyang glanced at each other, and the county lord of Xuanyang smiled slightly and said: "The two of us are not knowledgeable, so let's ask Lord Zhang and Master Dong to talk about it." ”

He Shang also waved his hand again and again: "There are two adults here, why do you need me to talk more." ”

So everyone looked at the two men and wanted to hear the experts' opinions.

Taishi Ling Zhang Hong first shook his head and smiled: "I'm really ashamed, I can't see it." ”

However, Dong Mingchang, a scholar from Hanlin, seemed to see some eyebrows, touched his beard and frowned: "It's plausible, and contemptible people can't be sure." ”

Seeing that he seemed to have reservations, Chen Siye said in his heart that this Hanlin Bachelor still has some real talents.

At this time, a maid suddenly came, walked straight to Li Runze, who was still sitting and meditating, and said something in her ear.

Everyone also stopped talking and looked at Li Runze.

The prince had just been immersed in the world where he had brought down Le Xuan in one fell swoop and couldn't extricate himself, and when he heard the maid speak, he replied

Come to your senses.

After listening to the maid's words, Li Runze nodded slightly, stood up and looked at a few people: "Hongtai, Hongyi, two adults, my father summoned me to the palace, and there are many matters of the poetry meeting, so I have to ask you." ”

A few people had nothing to do, and Li Runze said to Chen Siye again: "Three talents, there is only one poet leader, and the three of them have to work harder to wait and see who will be the leader of this poetry club." ”

Secretly scolded in his heart that this Li Runze was really fake, Chen Siye and the other two nodded yes, and Li Runze left in a hurry.

After the prince left, Chen Siye continued the topic just now: "So can Huang Gongzi come up with this Shanglian?" ”

Huang Yucheng said dissatisfiedly: "The two adults can't tell how this can be a couplet, Chen Gongzi should not laugh." ”

"Even the two adults just said that they couldn't see it, but Huang Gongzi firmly said that this was not a couplet, ignorance! It's ridiculous! "The prince is gone, and Chen Siye doesn't want to save face for him.

"You!" Huang Yucheng was hurt by his words, but he was helpless, and said angrily: "If this is a couplet, I will eat this piece of paper!" ”

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, but the water that was spilled out of the words could not be recovered.

Dong Mingchang sighed secretly, and acted as a rounder, persuading: "The two sons don't have to be angry about this, why don't you come and see my Shanglian first?" ”

Chen Siye also had a good impression of this Hanlin bachelor, and was willing to give him this face, so he smiled and said: "That's fine, I'm willing to listen to Lord Dong's connection." ”

Hearing this, Dong Mingchang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good." Huang Yucheng was also relieved when he heard this.

After taking two steps with his back hand, Dong Mingchang smiled slightly and said: "My upper link is 'Smoke Lock Pond Willow', I thought hard but couldn't think of a suitable lower link, and asked a few sons to help me think about this lower link." ”

The Taishi on the side made Zhang Hong laugh a little when he heard it, he also knew about this couplet, it can be described as absolute, and he couldn't help but say that Dong Mingchang's hand was really beautiful, and a few people thought hard and meditated, how could they still have the heart to fight.

Seeing that several people were bowing their heads and pondering, Dong Mingchang was a little secretly proud.

When Chen Siye heard this couplet, he was a little surprised in his heart, he had heard it before the crossing, but the long-standing eternal absolute, because of its outstanding artistic conception, and the side and the secret combination of the five elements, it is difficult to make an excellent couplet and famous, I didn't expect Daji to have this couplet.

It just so happened that Chen Siye had seen a good downlink before, and he still had some impressions, so after thinking about it, he replied: "Yes, Yinqi Linghaituo." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and Zhang Hong and Dong Mingchang were even more dumbfounded, they didn't expect this absolute to come out like this.

Carefully a product, the five elements of the upper and lower lines are opposite, the artistic conception is consistent, and the harmony is really suitable.

"It's... This... Chen Gongzi is really talented! After a moment of silence, Dong Mingchang stammered a little, "It's not a secret, Your Majesty got this upper link unintentionally, and one morning the dynasty said it, and if you want to get the next link, it's a shame that no one in the Manchu Dynasty can come out." Today, Chen Gongzi is out of the next couplet, if Your Majesty knows, he will be happy! ”

Hearing this, Huang Yucheng and He Shang were envious, but they didn't expect Chen Siye to be His Majesty's Shanglian.

Chen Siye was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It's just a fluke." After speaking, he turned to Huang Yucheng and said: "Huang Gongzi, since you can't tell me about it, I will reveal the mystery." ”

Several people didn't expect Chen Siye

suddenly turned to this topic, but at this time, they were also a little curious, so they didn't say anything to stop it.

Huang Yucheng was a little apprehensive when he heard this, and he no longer talked as eloquently as before, but was a little speechless.

Chen Siye wrote the following couplet, "The floating clouds are long, long, long, long, and long."

After writing it, I smiled and said nothing, and everyone was silently reading it in their hearts, but they always felt that they were reading it wrong.

After trying to read it silently in his heart a few times, Dong Mingchang was puzzled: "Chen Gongzi, if I expected it correctly, the mystery of this couplet is that it is one word with multiple sounds, right or not?" ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and Chen Siye also replied with a smile: "That's it, what Master Dong said is right, he used this little trick." ”

"Chen Gongzi quickly reveals the mystery, how to read this couplet?" Dong Mingchang looked urgent, and it seemed that he was a person who loved couplets.

Chen Siye glanced at Huang Yucheng and said, "Master Dong, listen to me:

Sea tide, towards (zhao) towards the tide, towards the tide and towards the tide,

Floating clouds rise, long (chang) long rises, long rises and disappears. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! It's amazing! Dong Mingchang shouted excitedly.

However, Huang Yucheng's face was not right, his face was like earth.

Chen Siye is a person like you who respect me, I respect you, others don't mess with me, and I don't mess with others, but today this Huang Yucheng has repeatedly troubled him, Chen Siye has long held his breath, and when he seized the opportunity at this time, he naturally would not let him go, so he pointed to the piece of paper on the table and said, "Huang Gongzi, please?" ”

Huang Yucheng is fortunately a gentleman, he didn't go back on his word, he stretched out his hand to this piece of paper tremblingly, looking at his appearance, Chen Siye smiled secretly in his heart, he knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

Everyone didn't say anything to persuade them, but they secretly sighed in their hearts that this Huang Yucheng was self-inflicted, and it was obvious to all, as soon as Chen Siye came, he came to find trouble.

Seeing that Huang Yucheng had already picked up the paper, he seemed to feel very humiliated at this time, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he suddenly put down the paper in his hand and glared at Chen Siye angrily: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, I won't eat it!" ”

Unexpectedly, he would say such a thing, Chen Siye couldn't help but laugh and said, "Huang Gongzi, if I'm not mistaken, you said this yourself, right?" I've never said anything about you eating this piece of paper, have I? ”

"You!" Huang Yucheng was ashamed and angry in his heart, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Chen Siye continued to add fuel to the fire and said: "What am I? Huang Gongzi, the ancients said: A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, Huang Gongzi's move makes me look down on you a little. ”

Huang Yucheng's lungs were about to explode, and he glared at Chen Siye angrily.

Fortunately, the county lord of Xuanyang is a good girl, seeing that the two of them are already like fire and water, and they can't say that they want to fight, they persuaded him: "Chen Gongzi, this matter will end here, Huang Gongzi must just be unscrupulous." ”

Chen Siye was already angry, so he agreed: "What His Royal Highness the County Lord said is that I only hope that Huang Gongzi will not be so conceited in the future. ”

Taishi Ling Zhang Hong also said: "Okay, okay, everyone sit down quickly and drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger." ”

But at this time, Huang Yucheng's face had been lost, so why not stay, his face was black and red, and he snorted angrily and shook his sleeves and left.

Everyone didn't stop anymore, Dong Mingchang looked at Huang Yucheng's back and shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Chen Gongzi is really sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and he can't be unforgiving." ”

Chen Siye shrugged innocently, is this still my fault?
