Everyone was thinking, and saw that it was not easy to come to deal with it, but it was a small guy dressed as a family, and when they saw the piece of pen and ink in his hand, they all shook their heads and laughed.

After the family finished writing, everyone's eyes fell together, but they saw that the font was flying and the phoenix was dancing, and the seven words that fell on the white paper were exactly the same as the upper couplet, which was also "long, long".

"This benevolent brother, what do you mean by copying the upper couplet?" A gentleman asked.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "What is copying?" I'm afraid this brother didn't understand the meaning. ”

The other gentlemen said impatiently: "Go down, go down, don't waste time here, are you also worthy of this pair?" ”

Lin Wanrong didn't bother to pay attention to them, looked at the old man and said, "Old man, what do you say?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "This little brother, didn't you really copy this couplet?" ”

Damn, these anagrams Lao Tzu played indiscriminately in Chinese classes when he was a child, you pretend to be clear, and the old man is yin enough, Lin Wanrong also smiled and said: "If the old gentleman thinks that it is copying, then it is copying, the article in the world is a big copy, so why should I copy it." ”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "This little brother really has some doorways, so I asked the little brother to recite this couplet, as long as it is right, the old man will definitely give this "West Lake Smoke and Rain Map" to the little brother." ”

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Shanglian is: long rise, long rise, long rise; The next link is: long rise long rise long rise. The horizontal interpretation is: long and long. May I ask you, sir, am I reading correctly? ”

The old man glanced at him and said with a smile: "The old man has traveled all over the provinces, and this union has been published more than a dozen times, and the first person will come out one day." The little brother is indeed extraordinary. ”

After listening to Lin Wanrong reading this couplet, everyone suddenly realized that this was a couplet with the same word, rising and rising. It is a metaphor for the tide of the Qiantang River, which is very appropriate for the "Smoke and Rain Picture of the West Lake".

This pair is difficult to say, but to put it bluntly, it is worthless. The gentlemen were all annoyed, such a simple thing, why didn't I think of it, and called this little family to get this "West Lake Smoke and Rain" for nothing.

The eldest lady also suddenly realized, looking at Lin San couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, this person must have heard this puzzle a long time ago, no wonder she was so sure.

The old man laughed and said, "Little brother has such a talent. This "West Lake Smoke and Rain" can be regarded as a gift to the right person. Brother, please take it.

This old man really has some ability, this picture of smoke and rain is purely a painting scene, very natural, it is the kind of good painting that can be calm, and it should be able to sell for a big price. Lin Wanrong smiled and was about to take it, but heard a few gentlemen say: "Old man, we are not convinced." ”

The old man said curiously: "Why are you not convinced? ”

One of them said: "Although this pair is a witty word, but the person who responded to it was clever, so I was very unconvinced." The old gentleman's "Smoke and Rain Picture of West Lake" is not a vulgar thing, and we have the heart to admire. So I asked the old gentleman to come up with another question, and I will compare it again. ”

The old man smiled: "If you don't believe in your words, how can you stand?" The old man once said that as long as he matches this couplet, this "West Lake Smoke and Rain" will be given to him, and now that this little brother is right, how can I regret it? ”

Lin Wanrong nodded, this old man is indeed a little righteous, for the sake of this, this "West Lake Smoke and Rain". I'm going to have to sell it for a good price so I don't lose you.

The old man glanced at Lin Wanrong, and then said: "But since you talented bachelors have this Yaxing, the old man is also very pleased, so let's ask this little brother who took the painting to come out with a couplet, as long as one of you is right, the old man will be on this Su Causeway, and then make a picture of "West Lake Smoke and Rain", the old man can be guaranteed, these two pictures have a completely different artistic conception and charm, you can rest assured." ”

The old man's face was a little proud, and he seemed to be confident in his painting skills. At the same time, in the same place, two pictures of "West Lake Smoke and Rain" were painted, and the artistic conception and charm were different, what this means, everyone present was very clear, but no one doubted the ability of this old man, but looking at the ease in which he completed the painting, he knew that he must still have reservations. Having said that, even if these two "West Lake Smoke and Rain Pictures" are exactly the same, with the old man's skill and brushwork, it is also a big selling point, and it is also a treasure that people who love to paint are eager to eat.

The bachelors readily agreed, and the old man looked at Lin Wanrong and said with a smile: "Little brother, I don't know if the old man is making this presumptuous request, can the little brother give a few thin noodles?" ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and besides, this old man's attitude was very friendly, Lin Wanrong had a good impression of him, so he smiled and said: "Since it is the elder who speaks, how can the kid not obey?" But this old gentleman, if no one can answer my couplet, then your second painting will also be given to me. ”

The eldest lady smiled when she heard this, this Lin San is really a guy who refuses to suffer, this sentence is invincible: someone comes up, there is no loss to him, if he can't come up, then he can take the second "Smoke and Rain Map". With this person's cunning, he will definitely not make any simple connections, and this group of gentlemen is too miserable, how did they meet this person who is so bad that he can't be worse.

The old man laughed and said heroically: "Little brother, just come out, if no one can do it, let alone one piece, even ten pieces, and the old decay can also be painted." ”

The toad yawned, and his breath was big, I hung on the four couplets of the food fairy, and I haven't seen anyone who can come out right. But today, you old man is interesting enough, so I'll give you some face and make it simple.

Lin Wanrong slowly paced a few steps, and said with a smile: "Since it is a couplet with the same character today, that kid will be ugly, and he will have the courage to make a couplet with the same character." ”

In the past, only talented people tested other people's land, but now it's my turn to test you, Lin Wanrong smiled, took out the pen, but this time there were a few clever gentlemen hurriedly spread out the white paper, Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, and wrote with a pen: "The sea is facing the chaochao and the chao ”

These associations are Lin Wanrong's favorite when he was learning Chinese in middle school, and he is playing with his mouth, which is exactly his temperament, how can he not like it?

Seeing Lin Wanrong's words, everyone fell into a deep groan. Even the eldest lady and the old man were no exception. With the previous example, everyone knows that this is a couplet, but how to break the universe and how to read it. But it's a big knowledge, and most people can't even figure out how to read it, let alone make the next couplet.

The eldest lady smiled slightly, and after thinking for a while, she already knew how to read this couplet, but it was beyond his ability to make the next couplet. He couldn't help but glance at Lin San with a smile, this person, the elves are weird, and he doesn't know where he got such a strange essay.

Lin Wanrong smiled and glanced around. I saw that the eldest lady and the old man had some clues. The other gentlemen were all worried, obviously unable to find the doorway.

"But does anyone deserve it?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile, embarrassed these gentlemen, he was very happy in his heart, and asked you to chant poetry against you. Lao Tzu will let you see what it means to have a person outside the world, so that you guys have their eyes to the sky all day long, thinking that the earth will not turn without you.

All the scholars were speechless, just said that this family is cheating, and now it's their turn, but they can't even touch the way to trick, this poetry book is really in vain.

No one answered. When Lin Wanrong smiled, the old man said: "Old man, since no one answers, then I will receive this second "West Lake Smoke and Rain Map".

The old man hurriedly said: "Slow and slow, little brother, please let the old man think again." ”

This old man's attitude is very good, Lin Wanrong said in her heart, this kind of talent is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, humble and polite, approachable, rich in experience, this is only learning, this demeanor, this momentum, where is Hou Yuebai's shit talent compared.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the old gentleman thought slowly." ”

The eldest lady stepped forward to pull him and said with a smile: "I'll accept it when I see it, this old gentleman is kind, don't embarrass him anymore." ”

Lin Wanrong shook her head and said with a straight face: "Miss, you are wrong, I am not embarrassing him, but respecting him." ”

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and then she understood a little, for a person like this old man, if you have a problem that can stump him, for him, that is the greatest pleasure and gratification, and it is also true respect.

The eldest lady glanced at him with disgust and said with a smile: "You are the most sophistic, you are reasonable." ”

Lin Wanrong saw that the eldest lady was smiling like a flower, that figure, that appearance, was three points better than the peach blossom in March, and her heart jumped twice, and secretly said, what's going on recently, the resistance to this chick seems to be getting lower and lower, if it goes on like this, in a few days, Lao Tzu will be pushed down by her, and I am afraid that he will be willing.

When the eldest lady saw him staring at herself, her heart trembled, her cheeks fluttered, and she snorted: "Look at what to see, and then look at digging out your eyeballs." ”

"If you dig it out, you have to keep looking." Lin Wanrong grinned.

"Rude, I've never seen such a bad person as you." The eldest lady couldn't hold his gaze, hurriedly took two steps back, turned her head and said softly: "If you are so frivolous again, I will ignore you." ”

I please, this reason is really inferior, but I saw that the eldest lady had a little anger on her face, and knew that girls were thin-skinned and couldn't flirt to the end at one time, so they had to accumulate slowly, flirting a little bit every day, so that her resistance would degrade unconsciously, until she broke her bottom line.

Lin Wanrong smiled, the eldest lady saw that his face was lustful, but she was startled, and hurriedly left him a few steps, her heart was pounding, the eyes of this wicked man were too annoying.

Lin Wanrong was lewd, but she heard the old man clapping his hands violently and said happily: "There is." ”

His voice was very loud, but it startled everyone who was thinking, the old man was full of excitement, took Xiaohao, and wrote a line of big words under Lin Wanrong's upper link: "The floating clouds are long, long, long, long, and long." ”

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, this old man really has some ability, this pair is very neat, it is a pair made in heaven.

When everyone saw that it was the old man who came out, they breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts, but they were a little disappointed, and the dream of "West Lake Smoke and Rain" was completely shattered.

The old man was full of joy, looked at Lin Wanrong eagerly and said, "Little brother, look at how this next link is." ”

Lin Wanrong saw that his sideburns were pale, but at this time he was as surprised as a child, nodded and smiled:

"The old gentleman is talented, and the kid admires the five-body throwing himself to the ground."

"Wrong, wrong, wrong," the old man nodded: "Little brother, you can come out of the situation and embed the previous couplet in this couplet, and this couplet of the same word seems to come easily, that is the real talent." ”

It should be said that the Chinese teacher taught well, Lin Wanrong smiled, he didn't know how to write the word shameless, and said, it should be said that Lao Tzu learned well. However, this old man's sycophant is very good, this sycophant is very cool, Lin Wanrong said happily: "The old gentleman has won the award, let's give each other." ”

Everyone saw that the two of them complimented each other, but they couldn't figure out how to read the couplet, but they were too embarrassed to ask questions, so they had to listen to these two people.

The old man said with great interest: "I used to paint with people, but I never inscribed a seal, I never thought that on the bank of today's Qiantang, on the Su Causeway Bridge, I met such a talent as the little brother, I really knew it, and I couldn't say that I would break the exception." ”

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "The old gentleman has won the award, in fact, your painting is very good, it should be able to sell one-"

The eldest lady hurriedly glared at him, and Lin Wanrong suddenly realized, ouch, she almost missed her mouth for a while.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Little brother, don't you want to sell my painting?" ”

Hey, the more he said that this old man became smarter, Lin Wanrong wondered in his heart, this old man is really not simple, he smiled and said: "The old gentleman is so righteous, if the kid lies and deceives you, it will be disrespectful." Don't tell the old gentleman that I only have half-baked knowledge of poetry and painting, and this painting is a waste to me, so it's better to make a price and sell it to someone who really appreciates it, isn't it appropriate for both? ”

The literati of this era attached great importance to their ink treasures, and many people did not want their works to be associated with silver coins, believing that it was contaminated with the smell of copper and belittling them. Lin Wanrong's words made the eldest lady tremble, and said in her heart, you are usually a person who has become a fine person, why are you so reckless today.

Although the eldest lady also has some knowledge, she is not as good as Lin Wanrong, Lin Wanrong saw that this old man was dressed luxuriously, but he was very peaceful, and he couldn't hide it from him, so he told him directly.

The old man smiled heartily: "The little brother is really an honest person, and the old man admires it very much." If this painting can really become real money, it will be a great good thing. If people in the world have a mind like a little brother, why don't I worry about it? ”

Lin Wanrong was overjoyed in one sentence, listening to the meaning of this old man's words, not only was he not ashamed, but he was happy, and it seemed that he had no sense of rejection of doing business, which was rare.

"Little brother, you're in business, right?" The old man asked.

Lin Wanrong nodded, and the old man smiled: "Since you are doing business in this Jiangnan, maybe we will meet one day." Today's seal is even more important to me. ”

He took the small block and wrote four small characters on the corner of the "Smoke and Rain Picture of the West Lake", then smiled and threw away the pen.
