Chapter XXVI On the Couplet
This couplet is very famous, according to legend, it is the Liao envoy provoked the upper couplet on the main hall, although I don't know why it appeared here, but Yang Zheng knew that Su Shi made four lower couplets.
"Four poems and elegant songs!" Yang Zheng pretended to think for a while before he came up with the answer.
"This..."
"Wonderful pair..."
The old man's face stiffened, and after carefully recalling it, he found that whether it was from the battle or the artistic conception, this was a wonderful downlink.
There is no shortage of well-educated people around, and many people have just seen this link, but they found that they have no way to start.
The person who had just laughed at Yang Zheng couldn't help but blush in the eyes of everyone who was a little gloating.
"Good! Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, and he can't think about it day and night, Xiao Langjun can think of the answer in a few breaths, which is really rare, Lao Song, take the lantern to this little lady. ”
The old man stood up with a smile and said happily.
The old servant beside him took the lantern off the shelf and handed it to Ruyi, who carefully held it in her hand, and seemed to like it very much.
"Thank you, old man, farewell..."
Yang Zheng saw that there were more and more people coming around to see the excitement, so he gave Ruyi the color of his brother, and said to the old man gratefully.
"Xiao Langjun is slow, the old man still has a few couplets here, Xiao Langjun might as well give it a try...", the old man took out a few notes from his arms and handed them to the old servant, asking the old servant to find a lantern to hang up.
"The kid just happened to be a coincidence, it was a coincidence, these lanterns are still left for the big guy," Yang Zheng was not interested in these lanterns, and he didn't want to be in the limelight, so he said helplessly to the old man.
Squeeze through the crowd and get ready to slip away.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I heard that Captain Ma Du ranked third in the first class in the Kaifeng Liberation Examination, so he won't even be able to match this little couplet," a young man with a folding fan squeezed through the crowd and said in a weird way.
"Isn't this Wang Xianyi, one of the four great talents in the capital, who is this horse captain?"
"I heard that it was from the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion, and he climbed a high branch..."
"There's a good show to watch now..."
"yes......"
Yang Zheng looked at the young man a little inexplicably, what does it matter to him if he can come out or not?
The young man was followed by a group of people, most of whom looked at Yang Zheng with unkind eyes.
"Who are you?"
Yang Zheng asked curiously.
"Kaifeng Wang Xianyi," the young man said proudly.
"Oh, it's the fourth place in the Kaifeng Liberation Test?" Yang Zheng suddenly didn't go to see the release list, but the top ten in Kaifeng Mansion were talked about by everyone at the beginning, and one of them was Wang Xianyi, who was known as one of the four talents in the capital.
"You!" Wang Xianyi's face was gloomy, he boasted about Haikou in front of a group of friends, and bet that he would get the top three in this test, but he didn't expect to be ranked fourth, and the beauty he got was also won, the first two are high-achieving students in Taixue, and there are famous teachers to teach, but one Yang is from Yeluzi, or a horse captain, which makes him very angry.
It just so happened that his strength was the couplet, and when he met Yang Zheng in front of so many people, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to slap his face, so he had a gloomy face and continued: "I don't need the old man's couplet, I have a few couplets, I don't know if you dare to have a couplet?" ”
"You're right for me to let me? The fourth place gives you confidence? After Yang Zheng finished speaking lightly, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Isn't it because you didn't get this grade?"
Wang Xianyi raised his voice and asked loudly.
"The loser slaps himself twice", Yang Zheng turned around and said lightly.
"Good!" Wang Xianyi said with a sneer.
There was a bustle to see, and the pedestrians on the side of the road stopped to watch, surrounding Yang Zheng and Wang Xian in the middle, Ruyi stood behind Yang Zheng and looked at Yang Zheng worriedly.
"Listen up! Upper Eight Bridges, Middle Eight Bridges, Lower Eight Bridges, 3824 Bridges. Wang Xianyi pointed to the stone bridge over the Bianhe River and said unceremoniously.
"Four taels of gold, four taels of silver, four taels of brass, four three taels of twelve"
Yang Zheng took out the lower link when Wang Xianyi had just finished reading the upper link.
This kind of competition is generally one person to answer the question, and the person who answers can answer the question for the other party to answer, until one party can't answer.
Yang Zheng didn't want to fight against this talented man who felt good about himself until dawn, there were so many absolutes in his mind, pointing to the water in the Bianhe River, and reading: "Green water is worry-free, but the wind wrinkles the face!" ”
"This..."
"Good sentence, good sentence..."
"It's so difficult, but Wang Gongzi can definitely do it..."
Until Yang Zheng came out of the question, Wang Xianyi still did not come back to his senses from the first question, this is the upper link that he pondered for several months, and he himself did not make the lower link, Yang Zheng put it out in the blink of an eye.
After Yang Zheng finished reciting the couplet, he came back to his senses but found that he had no clue, and the surrounding discussions played the sound of Buddha and magic, buzzing in his ears.
Yang just waited for a long time, seeing Wang Xianyi's face turn from red to white, from white to black, he knew that this person couldn't answer, and it was really difficult for a pair that could be passed down for thousands of years to come out in such a short period of time.
"Let's go," he said to Ruyi behind him.
"Wait a minute, I haven't done it yet......"
When Wang Xian saw that Yang was about to leave, he couldn't help but say loudly.
"You take your time, come out and continue, and wait for the big driver at any time," Yang Zheng looked at Wang Xianyi, who was a little angry, and said with a cold face.
"Where did the little guy get the sentence? It's really a good sentence, Dugu Xun, if you want to teach the younger generation, you have to find an upright reader..."
An old man wearing a luxurious fur coat and a jade crown walked through the crowd with his hands behind his back and said to Yang Zheng and the old man.
Yang Zheng squinted at the old man, it was obvious that this old man and the old man surnamed Dugu should be at odds, but where did the grudge with him come from, as soon as he came, he would be labeled plagiarism.
"Teacher..."
Wang Xian, who was on the side, suddenly had a backbone, and shouted respectfully.
"Zhang Lian, you are still so shameless, juniors are competing with each other, you are embarrassed to intervene, are you ashamed?" Dugu Xun sat up from the recliner and said disdainfully.
"Hehe, fair competition, of course the old man admits it, but the old man has heard that this captain has been a nerd since he was a child, and he doesn't know what this sentence is about?"
Zhang Lian said slowly.
"Dare to ask this old Mr. Zhang, where have you heard this sentence? It's better for the kid to apologize and apologize, otherwise, Mr. Zhang would still be good at keeping his mouth shut,"
The clay man still has three points of anger, and his good mood was first destroyed by the surname Wang, but he didn't expect that the small one would be an old one, Yang Zheng said mockingly.
The gossip of the crowd of onlookers was completely ignited, this Zhang Lian is a well-known Kaifeng Confucian, but he didn't expect to be pointed at his nose by a junior on the street and said: "If there is evidence, show evidence, and if there is no evidence, shut up quickly."
"Okay, okay," Zhang Lian laughed angrily.
looked at Yang Zheng's gaze becoming more and more vicious.
"Ten rooms and nine poor, I get eight taels and seven dollars, six cents and five millimeters and four cents, and I am still half-hearted, and I am first-class and obscene!"
Looking at Yang Zheng's slightly ordinary dress, Zhang Lian hesitated slightly, and said with disdain, since Yang Zheng won the third place in Kaifeng Mansion, his family background was immediately investigated, although he did not worry about eating and drinking, but he did not have a good life.
"There are three masters in one township and two miles, and they don't know the four books, five classics and six meanings, and they dare to teach seven, eight or nine sons, which is very bold!"
Yang Zheng replied unceremoniously.
"In the middle of the two apes cutting the wood, this monkey will also see each other," Zhang Lian trembled all over, and a well-maintained face was covered with frost.
"A horse is stuck in the mud, how can this beast get hooves," Yang Zheng opened his mouth to answer.
"Good!" I don't know who shouted around, and then the gossip rang out.
According to the plot in the movie, the villain should vomit blood and faint at this time, but Yang Zheng found that although Zhang Lian was trembling with anger, he was still clear and clear, and there was no sign of fainting.
"Let's go!"
In the audience's pointing, Zhang Lian had a gloomy face and walked away with Wang Xianyi, and which of the readers who followed Wang Xianyi saw that the situation was not good, and they had already slipped away.
