The middle-aged guard didn't realize that his lower link was a little insufficient, and he smiled confidently at the old man: "Old man, I have already matched the lower link, how about you please give me this picture scroll?" ”

Unexpectedly, the old man in cloth couldn't help laughing, and said lightly: "Your Excellency thinks that you have matched the old man's pair, but in fact, it is not, it is not so simple." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at each other, could it be that there was any mystery in this old man's uplink?

Cui Wenqing looked at the coupling carefully for a long time, and suddenly his heart lit up, and he explained: "There is not only one method of breaking a sentence in this couplet, but another kind of sentence breaking can also be used. After speaking, he said in a clear tone: "Listen to the rain, listen to the rain, listen to the rain, listen to the sound of the rain, listen to the sound of the rain, listen to it." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, and then they realized that the old man's upper sentence actually has two ways to break the sentence, even if the lower link can deal with one kind of broken sentence, but the other kind of broken sentence can not be accurately aligned, and it cannot be regarded as an excellent pair.

Just like the couplets of the middle-aged scribes, if you deal with Cui Wenqing's method of breaking sentences, it will become: watch the snow stop, lie down and watch the snow, lie on the edge of the pavilion and watch the snow, and look at it.

The artistic conception immediately plummeted by a few notches, and it was not compatible with Shanglian at all.

The middle-aged guard suddenly came over, and suddenly his face turned red, and he said with a little annoyance: "My husband's couplet is actually not simple, even I almost fell into the way, so who can easily match the pair?" Aren't you looking for us to be happy? ”

The old man in cloth laughed and said: "The couplet is a pastime and entertainment, how can I say that I am happy for you?" Besides, the decayed painting is also trying to find a person who can match the couplet, if there is no fate, then there is no way. With a slight sigh, he was about to pack up his scroll and leave.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing couldn't help it, and hurriedly said: "Slow down, let me think about it for a while, and see if it can match your uplink." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man in cloth immediately stopped packing up the scroll, turned around and said with a smile: "What, this young man also wants to try?" ”

Cui Wenqing nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course, if you try it and don't charge money, if you can match it smoothly, wouldn't you get this beautiful picture of my husband in vain?" ”

Unexpectedly, Cui Wenqing actually replied like this, the old man in cloth was slightly stunned, but he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, the old man will wait for the tea time, no matter who is present can match the upper link, the old man will give this painting away." ”

Listening to the old man say this, it aroused the interest of many people present, and they all talked about it one after another, and they talked about it continuously, but the time passed slowly minute by minute, and everyone was still at a loss, and they couldn't think of a suitable couplet.

Cui Wenqing also had more than one thought in his mind.

Speaking of which, he studied Chinese language and literature in college, and had a certain study of poetry and poetry, but it was only later that he joined the business world and broke off the idea of becoming a literati, seriously studied economics, and took the self-examination to become a doctor of economics.

Therefore, Cui Wenqing is no stranger to couplets, and can even be regarded as good at them.

In the face of the very difficult couplet of the old man in cloth, he was not discouraged at all, but the arrogance of not being willing to admit defeat rose in his heart, frowning and contemplating.

Lotus Ye had been nervously looking at Cui Wenqing, who was thinking seriously, and when he saw that his brows were getting tighter and tighter, but he still didn't think of a suitable couplet, he couldn't help but comfort: "Uncle, this old man's couplet is too difficult, and everyone can't think of it, so why do you have to think about it?" ”

Cui Wenqing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Little lotus leaf, the most important thing in doing things is to stick to the word, if you choose to give up when you encounter difficulties, you will only become a mediocre person who can't do anything." ”

Mu Wan, who was on the side, lit up when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Uncle is right, indeed, the most important thing in everything is persistence, I believe that if the Metropolitan Governor is here, he will not give up easily." ”

Lotus Ye spit out her tongue and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then the slave and maid will not bother the uncle, the slave and the maid believe that you will be able to do it, uncle." ”

Cui Wenqing smiled, and then put his eyes into the sea of clouds and green mountains in the distance, the thoughts in his mind flowed like flowing water, and he was already immersed in hard thinking.

The old man in cloth was not in a hurry, he had been standing there smiling and waiting, and after the tea time, when he saw that no one could do it, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and began to turn around and clean up the picture scroll.

Knowing that everyone had no chance to get this wonderful picture scroll with exquisite painting skills, the people present couldn't help but sigh regretfully, and could only watch the old man in cloth wrap the scroll and put it in his bag.

Lotus Ye knew that the old man in cloth was leaving, and he couldn't help but be very anxious in his heart, but he looked at Cui Wenqing, but saw that he was still immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't know anything about what happened outside.

Seeing this, Lotus Ye couldn't hold back any longer, and reminded urgently: "Uncle, that old uncle is about to leave......"

These words were like a thunderclap, and Cui Wenqing was pulled back from the world of contemplation, and it was here that an excellent next link came to mind.

He turned around neatly and said to the old man who had already walked away: "Slowly, old man, I just thought of a lower couplet when I was down, and it seems that I can just match the upper couplet you came out, and I ask you to stop and listen." ”

The old man in cloth stopped his steps and said with a smile: "I don't know what the young man is right? But it doesn't hurt to say it, the old decay must listen to it. ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "The old man's upper link is when he painted, listening to the sound of rain dripping outside the building, and inadvertently got it. ”

The old man in cloth was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "The young man has no broken sentences?" ”

Cui Wenqing replied with a smile: "The good sentence is natural, why break the sentence?" However, the couplet from the old man should be the same. ”

The old man in cloth bowed his head slightly, and silently recited the next link that Cui Wenqing said several times, and a pair of old eyes immediately couldn't help but light up.

The middle-aged guard couldn't help but exclaim: "If it is according to the sentence just now: 'Listen to the rain and live, stay and listen to the rain by the building, listen to the rain, the sound is dripping, listen to it', the young man's next couplet can be broken as: 'Watching the tide comes, come to the tide pavilion, come to watch the tide, rise and fall, watch and watch'." ”

The young Confucian also said with admiration: "If you follow the sentence just now of this son: 'Listen to the rain and live, live and listen to the rain, live and listen to the sound of the rain by the building, the sound drips, listen to the listen', and the next sentence can be broken as: 'Watch the tide come, come to watch the tide, come up to watch the tide rise, rise and fall, watch and watch'." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone said with a smile: "Not only that, but the son's lower link, like the old man, is completely based on the scene, which is the most rare." ”

After that, everyone nodded and applauded.

Indeed, the fourth floor of the listening rain building was originally called Guanyun Pavilion, and the clouds and mist outside the building rose and fell, which was in response to Cui Wenqing's words, which can be described as a quatrain.
