Chapter 179: Slap in the face
"I wonder if Liu Shilang has ever heard the official street drum?"
Xu Da Ma sat on a chair and drank a cup of tea, his attitude was more casual, and while talking, he was playing with the tea set in his hand.
At this time, almost all the staff of the military department have arrived, and when they saw the people sitting on the chairs in the lobby, they naturally knew that it was Xu Yuma, but when they saw this atmosphere, they felt that something was wrong, obviously Xu Yuma and Liu Shilang were on the bar.
Liu Shilang's status in the military department is very high, Tian Shangshu has to respect him for three points, and this old man often relies on the old and sells the old, but everyone can bear it, after all, this person is the prince and the young guard, and there is no way to do it if the grade is high.
It's just that I didn't expect this new official to provoke Liu Shilang when he took office, although Xu Yuma was deeply favored by the emperor, and he had a bit of literary talent, but this old man Liu was a stinky and hard guy, relying on his seniority, few people could put it in his eyes, the horse was young and vigorous, and it was said that he was still very sloppy, and it was estimated that he would suffer a loss this time.
When Liu Shilang heard this, he naturally knew that he was sarcastic that he was too late to say that he was embarrassed to talk about others, and he was so angry that no one dared to talk to him like this, even the emperor Lao'er was treated with courtesy, but today he was questioned by a little descendant, where to put his face?
For this concubine, of course Liu Shilang has heard of it, and now it is too evil in the capital, and at the last birthday banquet, Old Man Liu can naturally see the ability of this concubine, and he composes poems and music, so he is not majestic.
He hates such people the most, in his eyes, these are all little tricks to dance and ink, and what makes him feel polite is that this concubine actually used some strange silver tricks to win the favor of the emperor and the concubine, so as to take advantage of this to ascend to the throne, and can cook and make wine or something, no different from the warlock of the rivers and lakes.
The affirmation of literary talent is also to find something else to negate this failed person, literati, self-esteem, often self-centered, to criticize the worldly that does not conform to the subjective consciousness, Liu Shilang after learning that this horse actually helped the princess mansion to do business, he had a serious contempt for this person.
The officials of the Tang Dynasty couldn't even enter the East Market, and they actually started a business, which made the old pedant unbearable, and the most basic premise of not being able to stand it was: this concubine can only write a few poems and suddenly become a soldier in the military department!
Therefore, Xu Yuma's series of behaviors made Old Man Liu really unbearable, this time Xu Chen took office, naturally he would not give him a good look, and it was inevitable to deliberately find trouble.
"What a sharp mouth." Liu Shen's face was really embarrassed, and he was really embarrassed to be asked like this by the little colt in front of everyone, was he obviously too late.
But I didn't expect this colt to publicly deny himself face, didn't this kid inquire about his own strength before he took office?
Everyone was blocked in the hall, and they didn't say hello when they saw the confrontation between the two, Liu Shilang really couldn't pull his face, so he ignored Xu Chen's embarrassing question, and said: "I have long heard that Xu Shilang is very talented, and the old man just thought of a couplet, although it came abruptly, I don't know if Xu Shilang dares to face the old man?" ”
Looking at the lively officials, they knew that the smell of gunpowder had escalated instantly, and the two of them had exchanged fire when they met for the first time.
Xu Chen didn't expect this old man to come to such a show, although Nima hates me very much, I hate you too, but you don't have to turn so fast, just about the street drum, obviously he has the upper hand, this old man suddenly came to such a play is nothing more than to get back his face quickly.
The couplet with Chen Wenxuan last time, firstly, Xu Chen does have some skills, this kind of literary and young things all rely on personal talent, of course, he has memorized 300 Tang poems, and his literary style will grow a lot. Second, Chen Wenxuan's Shanglian, Xu Chen has also seen it in middle school books.
This time it is obviously a bit empty, at first glance, this old man is not a good bird, although it is not bad to a certain extent, the whole person is a good hand, but Liu Shilang obviously did not give Xu Chen any chance, he has already read out the upper link.
"Two apes cut wood in the mountains, and ask the monkeys how to saw?"
As soon as the Shanglian came out, everyone was dumbfounded, Liu Shilang obviously didn't save face for the horse, this Shanglian was too brutal!
The "saw" homonym, the monkey is no longer an allusion, it directly refers to Xu Chen.
Everyone was surprised and looked at Xu Chen together, Xu Chen slowly stood up from his seat, and was overjoyed in his heart, yes, he was still very happy to be scolded, Xu Chen shook his head handsomely and said:
"A horse hides in the mud to see how the beast comes out of its hooves?"
As soon as the next link came out, everyone was stunned.
If it is said that Xu Chen's dog blood is coming to the end of the scolding of the upper couplet, then this lower link has already rotted the sea of Liu Shilang's scolding, and the world is spinning. The couplet is so violent.
This kind of couplet doesn't show much level, the key is a wit, and everyone doesn't dare to point out, Liu Shilang's old face turned pale in an instant, and then turned red.
And the reason why Xu Chen was scolded and was still complacent was because he was very familiar with this pair, according to legend, this was used by Yang Guozhong to rectify Li Bai, but he was played by Li Bai, thinking that Yang Guozhong didn't have that level to come up with a pair, and then it was a surprise, could it be that this pair is from here, and he and Liu Shilang are original?
Liu Shilang is on the verge of going berserk, so being scolded is obviously embarrassing and embarrassing, but he can't be angry, this pair is just right!
Even if he didn't give up and wanted to teach Xu Chen a lesson, he said: "The old man has ever heard that Xu Juma is actually doing some business, you and I are both learning Confucian knowledge, don't you know what literati can and can't do?" ”
This is obviously pointing out the problem of the inferiority of merchants, the ancient merchants had no status, they had no status if they had money, and the sons of merchants did not have the qualifications for the imperial examination, which meant that they could not be officials, and there was no future for development, and the literati despised merchants even more.
Liu Shilang wanted to preach about this matter, and everyone watched the two confront each other, and no one dared to come forward to make peace, this old man's temper was too stinky, and it was not good to provoke fire.
"Literati? Why does Liu Shilang think that I am a literati? Xu Chen said with a smile.
The heart said Nima, I'm the dignified martial champion, okay?! ……
A large temple outside the city of Chang'an.
The incense is prosperous, even compared to the big temples in the city, it is not much better, the people of Chang'an say that this place is very spiritual, and many people come out of the city to worship.
