At this time, Sima Tang suddenly turned around and said to Cui Wenqing through gritted teeth: "Cui Wenqing, my son thinks that you are the husband of a classmate, and he has always been polite to you, but I didn't expect you to be so presumptuous tonight, and you were so angry that Assistant Teacher Xie was already vomiting blood, if Assistant Teacher Xie had an accident, how could you afford it?" ”

Hearing such a nonsense accusation, Cui Wenqing was secretly angry, and asked coldly: "Sima Gongzi, just now, Assistant Teacher Xie suspected plagiarizing poetry in Xia, and he wanted to make a bet with Zaixia, and he didn't insist that he apologize, so how can you blame me for all the things he vomited blood?" ”

Sima Tang snorted coldly, and said with a dark face: "Assistant Teacher Xie is also Ah Zhao's teacher, you are the husband of Zhao, don't you have the slightest respect and humility?" Even if Assistant Teacher Xie is really a little wrong, as a junior student, he should be more considerate, how can you be so unforgiving? ”

Su Shi said with a very angry smile: "Okay, you Sima Tang, it's obvious that Assistant Teacher Xie is the first to lose, but I didn't expect that now you are still beating up and slandering Brother Wen Qing, it's really funny." ”

Sima Tang said without changing his face: "No matter what, you should respect the teacher, it is Cui Wenqing who does not understand the rules and is angry with my teacher, at this time, I think he should apologize to Assistant Teacher Xie." ”

Cui Wenqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips flashed with a sneer: "Sima Gongzi is really good at talking, and his kung fu of reversing black and white is really admirable." ”

Sima Tang looked directly at Cui Wenqing, and said without concessions: "It's just a matter of facts, you should apologize to Assistant Teacher Xie." ”

Cui Wenqing sneered and said coldly: "What if I don't want to?" ”

Sima Tang stepped forward with his hands in his hands, walked to a place only three feet away from Cui Wenqing before he stood still, looked at his eyes and said coldly and arrogantly: "Since this is the case, then the two of us might as well compete in the last game, let this son teach you to be a man, if you lose, kneel down and apologize to Assistant Teacher Xie!" ”

Cui Wenqing smiled and said without flinching: "No problem, it's better to compare, but if you lose, what should you do?" ”

"How about I toast and admit my mistake to you, and leave Fuzhou with Assistant Teacher Xie immediately?"

"Good!" Cui Wenqing nodded fearlessly, "Then let's make a decision." ”

"It's a deal!" Sima Tang's eyes were fierce.

He knew that this was the time when he was fighting against the water, and he could no longer afford to retreat, and he had to defeat Cui Wenqing in front of Zhe Zhao!

"No! I won't allow you to engage in such a dignified fight! Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhi Zhao hurriedly walked to the two of them one by one, and his pretty face was full of anger.

Sima Tang was slightly stunned, his face showed apology, and he arched his hand and said: "Ah Zhao, Assistant Teacher Xie is very old, and he was so angry that Cui Wenqing vomited blood tonight, how can I turn a blind eye?" Please be considerate of what is going on. ”

Although Zhi Zhao knew that this matter was wrong with Assistant Teacher Xie, but firstly, Assistant Teacher Xie was her teacher, and secondly, she was more of her guest, so she naturally couldn't judge right or wrong, so she had to sigh lightly with the mentality of turning big things into small things: "Sima Tang, you are my best classmate, and Cui Wenqing is my husband, if you are fighting here, how can you be embarrassed!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sima Tang and Cui Wenqing were silent, but their expressions were even more firm.

Only Su Shi understood everything, and secretly said in his heart: "Silly woman, the reason why they want to fight to the death is not because of you, your persuasion is really adding fuel to the fire!" ”

Sure enough, Sima Tang refused first: "Ah Zhao, I respect you as a friend, but you can't use this to force me to change my mind, if I can't get justice for Assistant Teacher Xie, I, Sima Tang, will have no shame in the world." ”

Zhi Zhao was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by Sima Tang's determination, and wanted to persuade Cui Wenqing again, but Cui Wenqing suddenly shook off her hand and commanded lightly: "Lady, in the competition between men, it is better for you to interfere less, and sit down!" ”

"Cui Wenqing, you ......" Zhe Zhaofen was angry, but he was helpless.

Su Shi stepped forward and secretly tugged at the sleeve of his shirt, and said, "Ah Zhao, it is already difficult to ride a tiger, how can you stop it?" Listen to the next word, let them divide the winners and losers. ”

Zhi Zhao was silent for a while, and there was a rare look of grievance in her eyes, but soon, she inhaled hard, and the trace of grievance that was not noticed by outsiders disappeared.

"If you want to compare, then you can compare!" With that, she turned around and sat back down on the desk.

As soon as Zhi Zhao left, Cui Wenqing and Sima Tang did not have any scruples.

"Cui Wenqing, what are we comparing to?"

"You can choose, poetry and songs, couplet lantern riddles, you can do it!"

"Okay, for the sake of fairness, let's draw lots to decide."

After finishing speaking, Sima Tang immediately asked the waiter to find a pen and paper, and wrote the big characters of "poem", "word", "song", "fu", "couplet" and "lantern riddle", and then folded the rice paper in half and placed it in the urn.

Seeing that the two of them really wanted to fight, the scholars present couldn't help but look around, and they all talked about it, and they were curious.

After finishing his work, Sima Tang said lightly: "Who of us will arrest it?" ”

Cui Wenqing raised his hand and said, "It's a guest from afar, Sima Gongzi is at will." ”

"Okay, you're welcome." Sima Tang rolled up his sleeves, put his hand into the urn, grabbed it for a while, and finally grabbed a piece of rice paper from it.

In order to show that he was not cheating, Sima Tang showed the rice paper to the left and right for a while, and after confirming that it was correct, he unfolded it in front of everyone, and the rice paper was written with the two big characters "couplet".

Seeing the title of the competition, there was a burst of gossip around him:

"Oh, they're a couplet!"

"It's not poetry, it's actually a couplet, it's a good show."

"Yes, I don't know who will win in the end, I think Sima Tang has a better chance of winning."

"You don't know, Sima Zhuangyuan is already good at doing the couplet right, but I didn't expect to catch the couplet competition tonight, everything is providential, I'm afraid that Cui Wenqing will win."

……

The so-called couplet, also known as couplet or pair, is a kind of peach charm that originated in the Tang Dynasty, paying attention to the neatness of the upper and lower couplets, and the coordination of the even, which was quite popular among the literati and scholars in the Tang Dynasty.

To the big Qi, the couplet is gradually popular, has become a word game under the poetry and songs, the couplet is more loved by the people, and never tired of it.

Seeing this, Su Shi's face couldn't help but sink, and he whispered to Cui Wenqing: "Brother Wenqing, if you talk about Yinglian kung fu, if Sima Tang, the younger generation of the whole world, recognizes the second, I am afraid that no one dares to admit the first, this is his strength!" ”

Cui Wenqing frowned and said, "Is he so powerful?" ”

Su Shi sighed lightly, Jun couldn't help but have a sad look on his face, and said: "In short, I can't compare to him, and I haven't seen anyone get any bargain under Sima Tang with a couplet." ”

Cui Wenqing said confidently: "Since no one can defeat Sima Tang with a couplet, then today I will break the myth that he is undefeated, Brother Su, you just wait to see a good show." ”
