Although these two pairs are a little difficult, they are not an eternal absolute, why can't anyone match them?
Li Qi watched everyone point and whisper to the two pairs, but no one stood up to the next couplet, and he was very puzzled.
In fact, Li Qi didn't know how a person who was really learned and talented could come here and compete with two juniors, such a thing that damaged his reputation, and their scholars and great poets, who thought highly of themselves, would never do it. Most of the people standing here are actually some boys who have no ink on their chests, but they like to pretend to be deep.
Although he already has a link in his heart, Li Qi doesn't want to be in the limelight, there is no noble reason, just because the temptation of this reward for him is too small, he has not even reached the point where he can't even eat, and besides, he doesn't believe that this Jade Xuan can make any dishes that attract him.
He now wished the two pairs could hang here for a few more days, just in case he needed them. In case he hasn't found a place to go after the Drunken Immortal Residence is sold, he can still come here for a month.
After weighing it, Li Qi had already paid attention in his heart, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a few people walking out of the restaurant, led by a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, in his forties, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, two rat tail whiskers, drooping eyebrows, and flashing eyes, which was not a good thing at first glance.
The butler was followed by several young and strong thugs, dressed in short clothes, all of whom looked high-spirited. A thug is still so arrogant, you can imagine how good Cai Yuanwai is.
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Li Qi's mouth, and he was a group of dogs who were fighting for the tiger.
When the people saw that the butler had come out, they all looked at him.
In the face of everyone's attention, the housekeeper seemed to be very useful, smiled proudly, and then said in a leader's tone, clenched his fists, and said in a rooster-like voice: "Thank you for coming to cheer and make Jade Xuan shine, I, Cai Laosan, thank you in advance." ”
After a pause, Cai Laosan continued: "Jade Xuan can have today's status and achievements, all thanks to your love, in order to thank you for your love, my family members decided to increase the reward from the original ten days to fifteen days, and if anyone can separate two couplets, not only can they eat and live in the store for free for a month, but also can get a reward of one hundred taels of silver." ”
Saying that, Cai Laosan slapped his palm a few more times, only to see a thug behind him walk out with a wooden tray, and there were several ingots of silver piled up in the tray, which looked very dazzling under the sun.
One hundred taels, this is a lot of silver!
An uproar erupted in the crowd.
Depend on! That's fine, too! Could it be that Cai Yuanwai and Lao Tzu have a heart, knowing that Lao Tzu is now short of silver, so he specially sent silver to Lao Tzu.
When Li Qi heard this, his eyes flashed, and he stopped his steps, there was money to give, of course he would not refuse to leave, he sorted out his clothes at the moment, and stepped forward with his head held high, for fear of being preempted, just wanted to speak, and suddenly a weak voice sounded next to him, "This uncle, you are good, give us some food, our mother has not eaten for three days." ”
Li Qi turned his head to look, and saw a little boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, skinny, barefoot, holding a rotten bowl in one hand, and an aunt in her forties in the other, hunched over, with white lips and pale face, and when he spoke, he also looked weak.
When Cai Laosan saw that it was two beggars, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he scolded angrily: "You two stinky beggars with blind dog eyes, you don't look at what kind of place this is, you dare to come here to beg, if you scare away my guests, can you afford it?" Come on, let me blow these two beggars away who don't know whether they are alive or dead. ”
"Yes!"
This kind of task that is not difficult and can please the boss, how could those thugs miss it, and they immediately rushed towards the pair of beggar mother and son.
The aunt had never seen this posture, her legs were so frightened that she fell to her knees, and begged for mercy: "Uncle, the little one doesn't dare, please." ”
Bang!
Before the aunt could finish speaking, she was kicked to the ground by the thug who rushed to the front. The aunt was already weak, where could she withstand such an impact, she covered her stomach when she landed, and she couldn't even scream in pain.
"Mother---!
The little boy screamed, his eyes full of fierceness, and suddenly rushed towards the thug, holding the thug's hand with both hands, and opening his mouth to bite down.
"Ah---!h
The thug didn't pay attention for a moment, he was bitten squarely, he screamed in pain, and his backhand was a slap on the little boy's face.
After all, he was still a child, and he could fight against this sturdy adult man, and he was hit to the ground by this slap, and his eyes were full of stars, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but the little boy was silent, and his eyes were fixed on the thug.
"You little bastard, you dare to bite your uncle, uncle has to beat you to death today." The thug shook his right wrist, his face hideous, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
"Don't hit my son, please, hit me if you want---!" The aunt didn't know where the strength came from, so she opened her arms and pounced, clinging to the thug's right leg with both hands, and begging bitterly.
"Fuck off, you crazy bitch." The thug lifted his left foot and kicked at the aunt.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man in a gray cloth robe.
This person is none other than Richie.
At this time, his lungs were about to explode, his teeth were clenched, his fists were clenched tightly, his face was as black as charcoal, and his eyes were flashing with fire, as if he wanted to eat people. The most angry thing in his heart is not the housekeeper, nor the thugs, but these bullshit geniuses who stand by and watch, but usually do not deviate from the way of the saint.
When the aunt was beaten, not only did these people not go up to stop them, but they all put on a look of watching a play, with such chilling people, this Northern Song Dynasty Yan will not die.
Li Qi now really wants to see what kind of faces these people will have when the Jin soldiers enter Beijing.
Cai Laosan saw Li Qi's shabby dress, a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Li Qi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped forward, and sneered: "This housekeeper, I am a poor scholar in Xia, and I don't want to mention my nickname, I just want to ask, what you said just now, did it ever count?" ”
Cai Laosan was slightly stunned and asked, "What words?" ”
Li Qi smiled slightly, pointed to the two banners, and said, "Didn't you just say that if anyone can match those two pairs alone, they can eat and live in Jade Xuan for free for a month, and they can also get a hundred taels of silver, don't you forget it?" ”
When Cai Laosan heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Our Jade Xuan is a golden signboard, how can we not talk and count, as long as you can make any of these couplets, we should fulfill our promises." He didn't believe that the poor scholar could make two pairs at the same time.
Li Qi shook his head and smiled: "I can't do it, but I know someone can do it." ”
"Who?" Cai Lao Sanleng said.
"Him!"
Richie pointed to the little boy lying on the ground.
"He? You're talking about this little beggar? Cai Laosan pointed to the little boy and said in surprise.
Li Qi gave Cai Laosan a praising look and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you got it right." ”
Cai Laosan was stunned, and suddenly burst out laughing, and everyone laughed too, as if Li Qi had told a big joke.
Laugh, laugh, and wait until you cry. Li Qi was silent, and stood aside and watched coldly.
