Chapter 198: Couplets
"Welcome the New Year, accept thousands of auspicious, and the old and young are healthy."
"Celebrate the festival, add a hundred blessings, and all industries are prosperous and prosperous."
Wang Xu said on the side, Murong Yuan wrote with a pen, and every word tugged at everyone's heartstrings, Wang Xu said that these couplets were extremely neat, especially suitable for the current New Year, and everyone was amazed.
Jia Hui said: "The lord is really talented, and he can't reach it. ”
Wang Xu smiled, these sentences are all from modern times, what is there to admire, but Wang Xu will not say it, now this is another world, who will know that he has stolen other people's verses.
Murong Yuan wrote the two teams, then put them aside, looked at Jia Hui and said, "Master Jia is erudite and talented, so he should come to the upper pair and write for the adults below." ”
Jia Hui was startled, and glared at Murong Yuan fiercely, if he had done it, he would have done it a long time ago, and he would have waited until now, besides, the lord was in high spirits, if anyone overshadowed him at this time, wouldn't he be looking for death.
Murong Yuan smiled secretly and pretended not to see Jia Hui's gaze.
Wang Xu also said: "Murong Yuan is right, since it is the New Year, everyone should have fun together, and everyone present today will have a couplet to show the joy of the New Year." ”
Jia Hui's face was like a bitter melon, and he also wanted to come to a couple, but his mind was empty, and it was difficult to come up with it for a while, Jia Hui smiled and said: "If Lord Murong comes first, I will brew first." ”
Wang Xu said: "How can this be done, as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a minister of military aircraft, you should set an example." ”
Jia Hui thought about it, if he let others come first at this time, wouldn't he, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, become a laughing stock, Jia Hui made up his mind and immediately thought about it.
"Lord, I have it!" Jia Hui said suddenly.
"Tell me about it."
Jia Hui coughed lightly twice and said, "The beautiful mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the glorious earth is spring!" ”
Well, the words are gorgeous. The momentum is magnificent, but it is a bit not close to reality, where can we talk about the splendid mountains and rivers in the Hongzhou Continent today, even if the four seasons are like spring, I am afraid that there are disasters everywhere.
Murong Yuan stammered and wrote on the rice paper. Then praised: "Lord Jia's five-word couplet is really imposing, and Murong Yuan admires it so much." ”
Wang Xu smiled: "It's really good, it deserves to be a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and it deserves its name!" ”
In just ten words, King Wen was so admired, and Jia Hui was overjoyed. Finally, there is no shame.
There are more than 20 people present, all of whom are talents from Wenyuan Pavilion, including Wen Qing, Wang Xu said with a smile: "If there is no reward, you are not willing to show real talent and learning, then good, I will criticize, you are the pair, whoever does the best, this king will crown him as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion." Positive five products! ”
Whoa...
Everyone was shocked, this reward is really rich, it is even better than five first-class merits, especially those students who have just entered Wenyuan Pavilion, if this answer is answered, wouldn't it be a step to the sky.
For a while, everyone grinded their fists and clapped their hands, and even Wen Qing couldn't help but lick his lips.
Among these people, only Murong Yuan was extraordinary, without the slightest excitement. Because pairing is his strength, if it weren't for Wang Xu here, he would have made dozens of them.
Wang Xu said: "Then I will have a question, and the horizontal criticism will be called "King Wen Xidu".
Belch... The crowd was speechless. They all thought hard and meditated, if this is answered, it will be a scholar, what a good opportunity, we must grasp it.
"It's limited to half a pillar of incense, and it won't wait for it to be outdated." Wang Xu said.
Jia Hui and Wen Qing glanced at each other. Both of them shook their heads, the pair was obviously close to reality, and that kind of old sentence would definitely not work; Actual? What is Actual? That is to say, the current Western Capital.
After a while, Murong Yuan chuckled twice, and then picked up the pen and wrote on the rice paper in front of him, and everyone gathered around in amazement and looked at it carefully.
So fast? Wang Xu also raised his eyes to look.
Murong Yuan wrote: "King Wen has a wise eye, a vast land, galloping thousands of miles, a wise policy, the people of the Western Capital, and unity as one." ”
After reading it, Wang Xu was about to say yes, but at this time, Murong Yuan continued to write again: "The clear water flows forever, the king of Wen is forever sung, the gentleman's grace is as deep as the sea, the pine is not old, the western capital is often remembered, and the ministers are as loyal as a mountain." ”
Okay, great, Wang Xu stepped forward and picked up this pair, a total of four sentences, in fact, Murong Yuan wrote two couplets in one breath, it was really not easy.
Jia Hui and Wen Qing pursed their mouths at the same time, these are two pairs of sycophants, but the two have to admit that Murong Yuan is indeed well written, especially the last two sentences, 'Jun's grace is as deep as the sea, and the courtier's loyalty is like a mountain' is really a witty sentence, I believe that as long as a monarch likes such a sentence, it not only praises King Wen, but also shows his duty as a courtier, he should be loyal and as strong as a mountain.
Wang Xu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Who has the confidence to compare these two pairs?" Speak up and listen. ”
Everyone shook their heads, and even Wen Qing was extremely ashamed.
Murong Yuan's literary talent is really good, it can be seen from this pair, Wang Xu has already investigated him, and he has already had the intention of promotion, since he has a pair, then reward it.
"Okay, then the king will fulfill his promise and make Murong Yuan a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, with a fifth-grade title!"
Murong Yuan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, King Wen." ”
Ay... Jia Hui sighed, Wen Yuan Pavilion now has two scholars, he feels a lot of pressure, but he is not afraid, because he still has a title, Minister of Military Aircraft! That's real power!
There are only four Wenchen generals of the third rank, Huang Quan, Sun Yu, Zhang Meng, and Jia Hui, this is the highest glory!
The couplet conference was written until late, and Wang Xu continued to say dozens of good pairs, which convinced everyone, and even Murong Yuan was willing to bow down.
In the evening, Wang Xu received a secret report from Ye Xiong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, saying that the officers and soldiers were also busy preparing for the Spring Festival, and they would not be able to send troops to the west until 15 days later.
Wang Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for a while when he heard this, since the officers and soldiers didn't kill immediately, let's enjoy this Spring Festival to the fullest! As for the war after the Spring Festival, whatever, let's talk about it then, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad tomorrow!
Of course, although it is to have fun, but also to be prepared for a big battle, what if people move troops in advance?
Wang Xu had ordered Li Zhi, Qiancang, and Minling's troops to all replace them with brand-new armor and weapons, and these three armies totaled 40,000 people, which Wang Xu wanted to take to Languan, as soon as Lu Yang's envoy arrived, he would start sending troops.
In order to let everyone have a good year, Wang Xu not only bought a large number of chicken, duck and fish meat for the soldiers, but also gave all the officials Wenwang Xian Brew for free, regardless of the official position, five bottles per person! There are even prefectural ordinances for the three cities in the west.
Everyone got the Wenwang Immortal Brew, everyone smiled from ear to ear, happy to open their faces, these immortal brews are five hundred taels of silver a bottle, if they don't want to drink, they can take it and sell it, a bottle of immortal brew is enough to make the family worry about food and clothing for a year.
