Chapter 12: Hotel Encounters (Comparison 1)

Li Bin brother and sister and He Chenyi sat at a table, and after ordering a few dishes, Li Bin asked for a pot of daughter red, and after a while, Xiao Er came over with the dishes and finished serving. Li Bin stood up, poured Chen Yi a drink, and sat on the table and poured himself a glass. At this time, Li Duxue, who was sitting on the side, was unhappy, pouted, and said to her brother unhappily:

"Brother, I want to drink too."

Li Bin heard the black line at one end, and thought, what kind of decency do you have as a girl drinking outside, and you won't be laughed at by others. lowered his head, put his mouth to Li Duxue's ear, and whispered:

"Sister, don't make trouble, take you out secretly, go to the restaurant, be punished by my father and mother when I know that I am a brother and go home, if my father and mother know that you are still drinking outside, then how many times have I copied the family law and family rules"

In ancient times, few women entered and exited the restaurant, and even fewer women drank alcohol, only those children of the rivers and lakes would enter and leave the restaurant, and the daughters of those big families were very envious of the pride of the children of the rivers and lakes, but they did not know how the children of the rivers and lakes did not envy their carefree life.

"I don't care, I'm going to drink, otherwise I'll tell my mother about you sneaking to the Qinglou, and see how she cleans you up," Li Muxue said with a wit.

Li Bin was taken aback, he did a good job of secrecy, his parents didn't know, how did his sister know, his heart was full of doubts, and he was very puzzled.

"How did you know I went to Jinmei Building?"

Li Muxue, her heart was already happy, how did she know that her brother had been to the Qinglou, she just said it casually. Our Comrade Li Bin didn't know that he would be tricked by his sister.

My aunt, don't you want my life? Drinking and going to the Qinglou, compared to the two things, Li Bin still thinks the former is better. After thinking about this, Li Bin had to pick up the wine jug and pour less than one glass of wine into his sister's wine glass. After pouring the wine, he said to his sister, "I can only drink one glass, and I can't take it as an example." ”

Looking at the two of them, Chen Yi remembered the scene with his sister in his previous life, although it has been fifteen years since he was here, he still remembers it vividly. I think of the time I spent with my sister. I was very emotional. Grab a glass of wine and drink it all. After drinking, I poured myself a new glass.

"Lin Gongzi, let you see it" After pouring the wine, Li Bin looked at Chen Yi who was sitting opposite and said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, the other sister is straightforward, straightforward and good, people live in a lifetime, they have to live for themselves, why care about the eyes of worldly people, for today's reunion, let's have a toast."

Raise the wine glass, drink down, drink Li Bin's daughter red, there is only a faint smell of alcohol in the mouth, the ancient liquor and the current wine, brewing hair is almost the same, but the taste is too far away, there is a smell of dishwater, the wine is a little wine at most, and the alcohol content is even less pitiful. Not as good as my own wine. Chen Yi couldn't help frowning.

After drinking, Li Bin stood up and poured the wine in the wine glass again, sat down, and his sister secretly poured some wine into his wine glass, Li Bin didn't care about his sister anymore, Chen Yi could see that Li Bin doted on his sister very much, so after three rounds of drinking.

"Lin Gongzi, when my brother and I came, I heard you chanting a poem, grape wine...... Grape wine ......" Li Duxue rubbed her head with her right hand and shook her head constantly. I really can't think of the content of the next few words.

Chen Yi looked at Li Duxue, who was a little drunk, her smart eyes were also misty at this time, her fair cheeks were slightly dyed red, and her originally neat hair was scattered and scattered, fading away from her original spotless temperament, but adding some unstoppable feelings, there was a feeling that people were getting close to her, Chen Yi shook his head slightly.

"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? ”

"It's really a good poem, Lin Gongzi's literary talent is very admired." Li Bin stood up and saluted Chen Yi again. After the salute, sit down.

After Chen Yi returned the salute, he kept drawing circles in his heart, in addition to the lack of electricity in ancient times, it was too cumbersome to add a little etiquette now. I don't know what the ancients did, they had to have so many cumbersome etiquette without getting tired.

"May I ask Brother Lin Guigeng?" Li Bin, looking at Chen Yi, he is now a little curious about what kind of person this is? I wonder if he has any other talents, and if he is recommending them to his uncle. It just so happened that the child of the uncle's family needed a child's enlightenment teacher, and the uncle asked him to find a talented person, remembering the scene of meeting in the hotel that day, and felt that the character of the Lin Gongzi in front of him should not be bad.

"Yo, who's this? Isn't this my third brother? He was nearly seven feet tall, thin, and wore a purple robe embroidered with green stripes, and a bright red placket on the back. The feet of the robe were turned upside down and tucked into the white jade belt around his waist, and his black hair was tied up and fixed with a crown inlaid with blue gilt, looking unattainable. Behind him, several gorgeously dressed sons slowly walked in from outside the door. This person is Lin Jie, Chen Yi's so-called half-brother.

"Third brother, why don't you go to the second floor with your friends to sit down? Oh...... I forgot, I don't have the money to go, it's okay, aren't you quite good at writing poetry at grandpa's banquet? As long as you can win these talented people standing next to me, I will give you a thousand taels of silver tickets. Lin Jie looked at the two people sitting next to Chen Yi, one was just a rich child of a rich family, so he didn't care. But when he looked at Li Muxue, his eyes couldn't help but light up, his eyes were full of heat, and he kept thinking in his heart that he must find out clearly, such a beautiful woman can only belong to me Lin Jie.

"But if you lose, the girl next to you will accompany me upstairs for a drink." Chen Yi hates such a person the most, self-righteous, like a fly, buzzing non-stop, affecting people's mood.

"Do you think a little stinky money is great?" Chen said expressionlessly, if someone who is familiar with Chen Yi is beside him at this time, he will definitely hide far away, and this is the prelude to Chen is about to get angry.

Li Duxue on the side was not happy, stood up staggeringly, slapped the table, and said to Lin Jie viciously: "Grandma, is it worth a thousand taels of silver?" At the very least, it must be worth a thousand gold. "One thousand taels of gold, and I can't spend it for a lifetime with an ancient family of four. (1 tael of gold = 100 taels of silver = 10,000 copper coins)

Hearing Li Muxue's words, Lin Jie not only smacked his mouth, one thousand taels of gold, under normal circumstances, he really couldn't take it out, but today his father gave himself six thousand taels of gold for the sake of the family, and let him go to the people from the imperial court, but thinking of the people around him, he gathered famous talents in Lingcheng. Each one has different talents. He didn't believe that no matter how strong a Chen Yi was, he couldn't withstand the bombardment of six people.

"Well, that's what the girl said."

"Lin Gongzi, I believe in you, you can" Li Bin on the side, holding his sister, remembered Chen Yi's talent, he didn't worry much, and he also looked at Chen Yi with anticipation.

In ancient times, there was no entertainment program, when the guests in the hotel, the literati on the second floor heard that there was a talent competition, and they all went downstairs and gathered around, and the people on the first floor pointed and pointed. When the boss saw so many people, the owner of the hotel simply stopped doing business, and asked the shopkeeper to clean up, put chairs on both sides, and asked someone to put the four treasures of the study. It's just that he can provide pen and ink, but there is a request to leave Mobao in the hotel, of course, Mobao is not taken for nothing, but the 500 taels of silver bought, 500 taels is already a lot of money, equivalent to more than 10 million in later generations.

"In the next Zhang Lin, in the next Bucai, the couplet study is quite deep, today I specially asked Lin Gongzi for advice, Lin Gongzi, please listen, the phoenix falls Wutong Wuluo." A young man dressed in dark blue walked out.

"A perfect match." Chen Yi didn't even want to say it casually. Everyone present couldn't help but applaud.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lin said: "Overlapping mountains and green mountains" Chen Yi said casually: "Twisting and turning, blue water, blue water, and twisting and turning." ”

When Zhang Lin heard this, it seemed that he was going to show some real skills, so he said: "East pawn, West pawn, East pawn pawn; ”

"Spring reading, autumn reading, spring and autumn reading." Chen Yi replied.

"Look at the river building, look at the river flow, look at the river upstairs and look at the river flow. The river tower is eternal, and the river is eternal"; Zhang Lin

"Printing the moon well, printing the moon shadow, printing the moon shadow in the printing moon well. The moon well is ten thousand years, and the moon shadow is ten thousand years. "Chenyi

As the competition became more and more fierce later, the people around him did not dare to come out, and people would not be famous in the Lingcheng until they relied on Chen Yi's preliminary couplet. Lin Jie looked at Li Muxue looking at Chen Yi with an expectant look, and became even more angry.

"The day under the water is the day of heaven;" Zhang Lin

"The person in the eye is the person in front of him." Chenyi

Zhang Lin couldn't help sweating profusely. The hotel owner on the side thought of the eternal absolute he saw from a book, and couldn't help but move, and said to the people present: "In the next pair of the world, I don't know if the two sons are interested in giving it a try."

The boss asked for the couplet "Smoke Lock Pond Willow" Chen Yi and Zhang Lin listened, this ordinary person really doesn't match, five simple words contain five elements (fire, metal, water, earth, wood), but is Chen Yi an ordinary person?

Zhang Lin wiped his sweat, let out a long breath, and thought, fortunately, he had also read this couplet in a book, and he thought hard for three days before he came up with a couplet.

I'm right: "Peach Burning Jinlang Embankment" Zhang Lin looked at Chen Yi triumphantly, feeling that he was about to win. When everyone heard Zhang Lin's couplet, they couldn't help but say yes.

People are looking at Chen Yi at this time, some people are full of expectations, some people feel that Chen Yi is going to lose, Chen keeps walking around, people think that Chen Yi can't get right, but who knows which couplet Chen Yi is struggling with himself.

Suddenly, Chen Yi stopped and replied, "Smoke lock pond willow, I am on the peach burning Jinjiang embankment"

When Zhang Lin heard this, he thought it was impossible, and shouted loudly: "Impossible, how can you come out in a short period of time?" You and the hotel owner must be in cahoots, it must be so. ”

At this time, the owner of the hotel, who was not happy to hear it, quickly explained: "Everyone present, I dare to swear to God, I have never mentioned it to anyone before this" The ancient people were still quite superstitious, believing that there were gods three feet above their heads. The people present believed that Zhang Lin must have slandered, and couldn't help but despise Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin saw that people didn't believe him, and became anxious: "I once saw this couplet in a book, and it took me three days to come up with it, how can you be able to come up with it in a short period of time." You have what it takes to be right one. When people heard this, they couldn't help but say in unison: "I thought about it for three days." Zhang Lin knew that he had slipped his mouth, and his face was like ashes. Lin Jie couldn't help but sobbed his mouth, he was really not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

"Flame Modal Maple" I don't know if Zhang Gongzi is satisfied with this answer.

At this time, when Zhang Lin heard it, he was like walking with a corpse, as if he had lost his soul, and the whole thing was in a mess.

Li Muxue stood for a while, and the strength of the wine passed, and the person was sober, but he still didn't understand what was the difficulty of this couplet, and what was the beauty of Chen Yi's couplet? He asked his brother.

Li Bin looked at his sister's ignorant look and explained loudly: "This is a one-to-one correspondence of the five elements, and the upper and lower links are respectively left side of "fire→ gold→ water→ earth→ wood". On the contrary, it is the opposite, and it is the opposite. Smoke and flame are both nouns, both visible but untouchable. Lock, inlay, are both verbs, the same as "joint eyes". "Smoke lock" is the opposite of "flame inlay". "Pond" and "pond" are both nouns and synthesize "pond" together; The words "swamp" and "land" are also nouns, and together they form "marshland", and "pond" is opposite to "marshland". Willow and maple are also opposite. Therefore, the battle is stable. In terms of artistic conception, the upper and lower artistic conceptions are harmonious. The lower link "flame moorland maple" is a real scene. Maple trees can grow in swamps. In late autumn, the maple leaves are red, and the frost leaves are red in February, which is more fiery red than the February spring flowers in the south of the Yangtze River. The lower line writes the slanting sun or maple leaves such as "flame", and the dots are inlaid in the maple trees and marshes. Shanglian "smoke lock pond willow", writing fog like "smoke", shrouding willows and ponds, meaning green and elegant. The upper and lower couplets describe the natural scenery, a tranquility, a morning and a twilight, a spring and an autumn, a clear rhyme like tea, a mellow like wine, complementing each other? The people around who didn't understand also pricked up their ears and listened, and after listening, they admired Chenyi even more.

Lin Jie walked out of the crowd of onlookers, and said with a gloomy face: "You win this drama, and in the next game, you won't have such good luck." ”

Immediately after, the second game began.
