Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Couplet

"If you don't believe me, you can ask someone." Zhao Ya said fearlessly, this is a very confident expression.

"You asked for it."

Qin Dui only cares so much, one hundred taels of silver is the most important, at least he can redeem a confidante from the Qing~ Building first.

"You're going to ask, right?"

Zhao Yan couldn't stand it a little, a man, still such a mother-in-law, and he didn't know what his father liked about him.

So Qin Duan waved his hand to Li Xiangjun, who was closer to him, and asked her to come over, after all, here, the most trusted by Qin Duan was his own woman.

"Qin Gongzi, is there something?"

After Li Xiangjun approached, he looked at his man with some confusion and asked, In front of outsiders, Li Xiangjun didn't dare to show his intimacy with Qin Duan, otherwise people would guess his relationship with Qin Duan.

"That's right, this Miss Zhao bet with me, as long as I can win that pair, she will spend a million taels of silver to buy this letter, I have some doubts that this Miss Zhao has the financial resources, just now this Miss Zhao said that just now if you ask someone, it can prove that she has this financial resources, and there are few people I know here, so I have to trouble Miss Li."

Qin Duan said that in front of these outsiders, Qin Duan did not dare to show intimacy with Li Xiangjun, after all, he had not redeemed her from ** yet.

"Miss Zhao?"

Li Xiangjun looked at Zhao Yan with some surprise, he didn't expect his man to be so popular, what a lot of effort, he actually talked to the little county lord of Zhennan Wangfu, although Li Xiangjun and the little county lord Zhao Yan did not have a friendship, after all, this little county lord is also a very well-known figure in Jinling, and he is also a member of the Jinling Book Club, so Li Xiangjun is still familiar with her, and knows that she is the little county lord of Zhennan Wangfu who is very business-minded.

"Yes, is this Miss Zhao? Couldn't she have come up with a million taels of silver at all? ”

Qin Duan saw that Li Xiangjun's face was a little strange, so he asked with some worry, won't this million silver, fly?

"Gongzi Qin, she is not Miss Zhao, this is the little county lord of Zhennan Palace."

Li Xiangjun said with a little crying and laughing, how can his man make this bet with the lord of Xiaojun, but this is not a bad thing, they robbed their man's perfume business in Zhennan Wangfu, and it is not much for his man to win her one million silver, in Li Xiangjun's opinion, Qin Duan is a winner, and in Li Xiangjun's eyes, there is no more talented person than Qin Duan in the entire Great Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, the little county lord gambled with his man, and he lost nine times out of ten, and one million taels of silver was really enough to redeem himself.

"Little county lord, little county lord of Zhennan Wangfu?"

Qin Du looked at Zhao Yan in surprise and muttered to herself, she never thought that the beautiful little girl in front of her was actually the little county lord of Zhennan Wangfu, and her perfume business seemed to be handed over to this little county lord of Zhennan Wangfu.

"What, you have doubts about my identity?" Seeing Qin Duan's surprised appearance, the little county lord couldn't help but say proudly.

"How could it be, I was just surprised that the little county lord of Zhennan Wangfu was so beautiful."

Qin Dui, who came back to his senses, said, when people talk about people, and when ghosts talk nonsense, Qin Duan, who was born as an orphan in his previous life, has already practiced, so he is not ashamed to talk nonsense.

"You are very good at talking, I hope your talent is the same as your words, don't be false then, now you believe that I can come up with a million taels of silver." Zhao Yan said.

"Of course, the words of the little county lord must be believed, Miss Li, you can be a witness."

Qin Du said, I still don't believe in the little county lord Zhao Yan, it's not that I don't believe that the little county lord can't take out a million taels of silver, but I'm worried that the little county lord won't admit it at that time, after all, women are very fickle, don't be tricked by her when the time comes, there is a witness, she will have no face to cheat at that time, and Li Xiangjun is her own woman, and she will definitely stand on her side.

"You ......"

The little county lord Zhao Yan was really angry with Qin Duan, how could there be such a man, he knew his identity as the little county lord, and he even suspected that he was really too petty.

"Okay, Lord Xu is going to speak." Qin Dui interrupted the little county lord's words, after all, Qin Dui would be embarrassed to let a girl count down.

At this time, Xu Lang, who was standing in the center of the hall, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Last year, we compared poetry, and also came out with a few excellent works. ”

"This is good, make a pair, I'm good at it." Xie Jin said with a smile, in the Great Qin Dynasty, when it comes to being a pair, Xie Jin really hasn't been afraid of anyone.

Xie Jin has been known as a "prodigy" since he was a child. He was born in poverty, usually helped his father with things, and studied angrily when he was free. At the age of seven, he was already able to compose couplet poems, which was amazing.

One year, during the Spring Festival, every household posted Spring Festival couplets. Xiao Xie Jin also wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets and pasted them on the door: "The door is to a thousand poles and bamboos, and the family has thousands of books." ”

As soon as this Spring Festival couplet was posted, people talked about it, and his neighbor Cao Shangshu was very unhappy when he saw it, and thought: "How can he borrow the scenery of my bamboo garden?" So, he ordered someone to cut off a piece of bamboo, and when he saw it, he added a word under the couplet: "The door is short for a thousand poles and bamboos, and the family has a long collection of thousands of books." ”

Cao Shangshu was even more angry, and immediately ordered people to cut down all the bamboos, and after Xie Jin, he added a word under the couplet: "The door is short of thousands of poles and bamboos, and the family has thousands of books." ”

The gossip reached the ears of the Xiangye diagonally opposite. He wanted to try Xie Jin's talent, so he ordered his family to call him to meet. Who knew that Xiao Xie Jin refused to come to the door casually, and asked the Prime Minister to bring an invitation. Xiangfu's family went back to inform Xiangye, and Xiangye asked to take the invitation to invite.

Xie Jin accepted the invitation sticker, came to the door of the Xiangfu with the family of the Xiangfu, and saw that the main gate was closed, so he said to the family: "There is a welcome gift to welcome guests, why don't you open the main gate?" ”

The family had no choice but to go and tell the grandfather again. Xiang Ye wrote a couplet with a pen, and together with the pen and ink, asked his family to solve it.

Xiao Xie Jin took a look and saw that it was a pair of upper couplets: "The little dog is too narrow at first glance." ”

Xie Jin knew Xiangye's intentions, and thought: I have to ask you to open the front door to greet me today! So he immediately wrote the following couplet: "Dapeng spreads his wings and hates the sky." ”

When Xiang Ye saw the couplet, he had to open the main door. Xiao Xie Jin entered the door, Xiang Ye welcomed him into the living room, and after the guest sat down, Xiang Ye picked up a book from the table and said, "The old man heard that you have ten thousand volumes of books, where are the books hidden?" ”

Xiao Xie Jin pointed to his belly and said, "It's here." ”

Xiangye asked again: "In that case, then can you be right for me to come out?" ”

Xiao Xie Jin blinked his eyes and said, "How can it be right!" ”

Xiang Ye looked at this little guy in green clothes, and his tone was so big, so he said: "The toad at the bottom of the well is green and green." ”

Xiao Xie Jin listened, sneered, glanced at the Xiangye in a red robe, and said, "The crab on the plate is white and red." ”

Xiangye wanted to ridicule him for being a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky, but he was ridiculed as a dead crab, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to change the topic, and said: "The sky is a chessboard star, who dares to play?" ”

Xiao Xie Jin thought for a while, and then said: "The ground is made of pipa and the road is used as strings, which one can play?" ”

Xiang Ye was surprised when he saw Xiao Xie Jin's answer, and only then did he know that Xiao Xie Jin was really "hiding ten thousand books in his belly".

Xie Jin often laughed and scolded the ministers with the help of poems and couplets. Xie Jin was short in stature, and one of the powerful ministers made fun of him in public at a banquet. The minister of power made a couplet to let him right, and the couplet said: "In the deep mountains where the two apes break the wood, the little monkey also dares to saw (sentence)"

Xie Jin didn't think about it, and immediately said the following couplet: "A horse is trapped in the sludge, how can an old beast get out of the hooves (question)." ”

The people present all looked at each other and laughed when they heard this, and the powerful minister was bored with himself, so angry that he blushed and had a thick neck, but he couldn't make a sound.

Xie Jin is known as the "master of couplets" because he is good at couplets, and his reputation is well-known in the Great Qin Dynasty, so no one in the couplet, anyone present thinks that he can beat him.

"Lord Xu, aren't you going to give this painting to Old Xie? For pairs, who is worthy of Xie Lao, Xie Lao is a master of couplets! ”

"Hehe, is Lord Wu afraid? I think it's good to compare pairs, it's much more interesting than poetry. ”

"Good for pairs."

"I think so."

"That's it, the couplet."

……

Seeing that everyone basically agreed with his opinion, Xu Lang then said: "Then we will compete against the pair, the rules of the game are as follows, there are many participants, I will play the pair first, and the pair will enter the next round, everyone has no opinion." ”

"No comment."

"No comment." Everyone talked about it.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then I will announce the time limit, after the question, all the contestants have a stick of incense time to answer the question, if no one can answer within a stick of incense, there will be no chance of the next competition, what do you think." Xu Lang said.

"That's good."

"No opinion, listen to Lord Xu."

Seeing that everyone agreed with his opinion, Xu Lang said with a smile: "I have to decide the specific evaluation rules, and Lao Xu's wind evaluation is still okay, hehe, so everyone can rest assured in terms of fairness." ”

"Lord Xu, you're laughing."

"Yes, of course."

"If you're not just, no one is just."

Everyone laughed and said a few times, firstly, Lord Xu's character and qualifications were placed there, and secondly, this time the lottery head was the work provided by Lord Xu, of course he had the right to be this judge.

"Then thank you for your love and trust."

Xu Lang said with a smile, and beckoned his disciples to bring two small wooden boxes that had been prepared a long time ago, and inside were all folded small notes, and the handwriting inside could not be seen outside, and what was written should be the scope of the test questions.

Zhao Yan and Qin Duan sat next to each other.

I saw her turn sideways and smile at Qin Duan, "Hehe, right pair, are you lost?" ”
