The three of them stepped upstairs and saw four or five literati surrounded by the stairs on the third floor.

When I looked closer, I saw a wooden board hanging from the wall. After a closer look, it was written on the board: "The poems and texts that prevail in Yuguan are all harmonious in sound and rhythm, or four or eight, five into seven, all of which express their hearts directly. Thinking about it now, if there are only two sentences, abandoning the theory of five or seven, but strictly following the level, and then making the parts of speech relative, it is not another form of writing. ”

The three of them read this silently in their hearts, and they all admired it, praised it a few times, and then looked at the plank. After careful consideration, Yu ordered it to be a battle for the time being. Try to cite one or two, and sincerely discuss with you. ”

Following the arrow drawn by Qin Xuan, he saw three couplets.

"The horses gallop, and the moon is far away; The eagle spreads its wings, neighing and hating the sky. ”

"Wandering around the flowers is full of flowers; The clouds and water are silent. ”

"The green lanterns of the ancient temple are companions, and they are only for the sake of cultivating positive results; The bright moon in the small building is with each other, and the nostalgia for the past is all because of seeing all the red dust. ”

After Taizong finished reading the triptych, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "This Qin Xuan, the battle that is summarized does have a bit of flavor. ”

Fang Xuanling replied with a smile: "Not bad, it seems that this son does have a lot of Chinese ink!" ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "Just look at a few words about the so-called battle, how can you draw hasty conclusions?" ”

When Taizong heard this, he turned his head and proposed: "Why don't you wait and see this person, how about the three of us take the exam?" ”

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji said in unison: "Okay! ”

After discussing, the three of them walked side by side.

At this moment, Qin Xuan was sitting on a chair, and he was happy in his heart: I am really a talent, look at the past few days, the restaurant is full of people, and the money is rolling! Suddenly caught a glimpse of Fang Xuanling and the others, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward to greet him: "Fang Xiang, busy and idle, come and take a look?" ”

Fang Xuanling took a step forward, shook his head and said, "How can a virtuous nephew be so carefree!" He then stretched out his hand and pointed at Taizong and introduced: "This is the old man's friend Qin Tian, I heard that the virtuous nephew is holding a fighting contest here, so I made a special trip to take a look!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he hurriedly saluted: "Old Qin! ”

Taizong waved his hand lightly and said: "No need to be polite, today we will meet friends with texts, there are no rules!" ”

Fang Xuanling pointed to the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "This is also a friend of the old man, and he is the eldest grandson of the uncle of the dynasty!" ”

Qin Xuanxin said: No, how can this eldest grandson Wuji say that he is also one of the top members of the imperial court, why did Fang Xuanling introduce Qin Tian first? Could it be that Qin Tian is more noble than the eldest grandson Wuji? The surname is Qin, is it Qin Qiong? It's not right, if Qin Qiong didn't say his name directly. Qin Xuan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore, stepped forward, and said, "The villain Qin Xuan has seen Uncle Guo!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said slightly angrily: "Brother Qin has already said that today, I will meet friends with texts, and don't mention the matter of identity again!" In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji secretly said in his heart: "If you mention your identity, then the master next to you is the main master!" ”

After a few greetings from the four people, Emperor Taizong went straight to the point and said eloquently: "Qin Xuan Xiaoyou, this time I waited for the three of them to break through the gate and go upstairs, and they all admired the situation you set up, but the old man wanted to try the Chinese ink on Xiaoyou's chest on the spot!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he said in his heart: Heh! It turned out that he wanted to test me, so come casually, no matter how I say it, I am also a Chinese department, specializing in ancient Chinese. Nodding slightly, he replied: "Elder Qin has this intention, so it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" ”

Taizong saw that Qin Xuan was full of confidence and deliberately made things difficult, but there was no problem. So he turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Brother eldest grandson, you give a riddle, of course, it can't be too simple, so as not to be mistaken by Qin Xuan's little friend for being looked down upon, and do it on purpose!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard Taizong's words, he felt a wave of anger in his heart: Still playing like this? Specifically out of the question?

The eldest grandson Wuji also heard Taizong's original intention, thought about it for a while, and said: "Wa God has it, Yao Shun has it; Zhou Shang has, Tang Wu does not. ”

When Taizong and Fang Xuanling heard this mystery, they all frowned and thought. Qin Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Isn't it that there is the word 'mouth' in the first word!" Eldest grandson Wuji, you would never have imagined that this riddle is the simplest in the next generation, and if you don't release the water, I think you are about to drown the earthlings when you release the water.

Seeing Qin Xuan's confident look, the eldest grandson Wuji was shocked and said, "Looking at Qin Xuan's easy-going face and calm look, hasn't he already guessed the answer to the riddle?" ”

The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "Lord Eldest Sun, it is indeed a little difficult to come up with the riddle, but there are some eyebrows below!" ”

"I don't know what the little friend guessed?"

"In the next puzzle is also made into a puzzle, the eldest grandson and see whether it is right or wrong. There are jumpers, walkers do not, tall ones do, and dwarf ones don't. Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was dumbfounded, Qin Xuan continued: "There is on the right, there is nothing on the left, there is a cold day, and there is no hot day." ”

Taizong also guessed the answer to the riddle at this moment, and poked his head forward like a child. "There are those who cry, there are no laughers, there are the living, there are no dead."

Fang Xuanling, who refused to show weakness on the side, continued: "There are dumb people, there are no pockmarks, there are wise people, and there are no stupid people." ”

Taizong laughed and blurted out praise: "Qin Xuan's little friend is really smart and quick!" He turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling and said, "Brother Fang, now you come to the proposition, let Qin Xuan Xiaoyou improvise a poem, I think Qin Xuan Xiaoyou will not let me and the other three of us down!" ”

Qin Xuan snorted coldly in his heart: Hmph, if it's too difficult, my brother will plagiarize it directly, and then you should be surprised, or quite surprised!

Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and said: "Landscapes, flowers and birds, Qin Xuan's little friends can choose one or all of them!" ”

Qin Xuan heard that Fang Xuanling intended to solve the problem for himself, and smiled at Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xiang doesn't have to worry about it, it's just a landscape, flowers and birds!" After thinking for a while, he chanted: "Take the mountain as the theme: the green peak enters the sky, and the bright moon is even blue in the sky." Raise your head and look away, but you don't know where the mountains are. ”

"Take water as the theme: spring willows throw hooks to fish for clear water, light boats make shadows and chase clouds, Dongjun laughs and blows wrinkles, and old wine looks at flowers as skirts."

"With flowers as the theme: the dawn stands by the window, and the wind puts the wine table. The flowers in the courtyard are densely blooming, and there is always a dark fragrance. ”

"Take the bird as the theme: I asked the spring swallow when it would return, but I saw that the new nest was made overnight. I don't know who is singing, so I don't know who is singing, so I don't ask and listen carefully. ”

After Qin Xuan finished speaking, the three Taizong were still motionless. After a long time, Taizong came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Four poems in a moment, rare in ancient times, Qin Xuan's little friend is really embarrassing!" ”

Qin Xuan said in his heart: Thanks to the fact that I didn't have anything to do with poetry before, otherwise I would have lost my adult here! Shaking his head slightly, he said: "Time is in a hurry, you can only get through the tricks, but it's not a masterpiece, Brother Qin loves it!" ”

When Taizong heard this, he looked up to Qin Xuan even more, and when he thought of the fact that he wanted to test Qin Xuan, he was a little ashamed, so he wanted to give up. Who knew that the eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said: "Qin Xuan's little friend is very smart, but just now at the stairs, seeing the little friend summing up the battle, the old man is very interested, I don't know if I can let the old man ask a question?" ”

Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and signaled, "Lord Eldest Sun, please!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji flashed a treacherous smile, and said in his heart: I thought about it for so long before I came up with the last sentence, I really don't believe it, you can say it. "A little scholar, who doesn't want to be a country or a king, is content with the world, ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Qin Xuan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then replied: "I am only afraid of misleading the people and the family, so I can only turn into idleness, helpless, helpless!" ”

When Taizong heard Qin Xuan's words, he smiled and said, "There are still people in the world like you who have countless strategies in their hearts, but they are called helpless!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he said in his heart: You think I don't want to be a big official, but I don't have that ability, I don't dare to mess around, who doesn't know that a companion is like a tiger! "It's just self-knowledge!"

Taizong was speechless about this, just smiled and said no more. The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth, stopped talking, and thought: Forget it, the dispute is useless, let it fend for itself!

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said: "Virtuous nephew, what you have summarized about the battle, if you want to extend it to the whole country, you still need to work hard. It is better to let the literati use it as a basis for writing poems and essays in turn, and when the time is ripe, I am afraid that it will also be favored by the literati! ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, his heart moved: Yes, Tang poetry is not flourishing now, I am afraid that it is indeed inappropriate to push the couplet now. He smiled slightly and said, "Fang Xiang's teachings are kept in mind. ”

Taizong saw that the two of them were like teachers and friends, and there was a tendency to chat, so he said: "Okay, Qin Xuan Xiaoyou, wait for me to take a look, the game you set up on the third layer!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he took Taizong and the three of them to the window on the third floor, pointed to the three long wooden planks covered by red cloth and said, "The last sentence written on the three wooden boards is the third level!" ”

Taizong was full of interest, and said directly: "Qin Xuan Xiaoyou, open it and take a look!" ”

Qin Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Unless the three of you want to challenge, these three red cloths can't be uncovered casually!" ”

Taizong was slightly stunned, and then blurted out: "Challenge is a challenge, it's hard to pass, and there is no punishment!" ”

Qin Xuan chuckled a few times and said, "Of course, there is a punishment for failing the challenge, after all, if you succeed, there will be unexpected rewards!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was about to step forward to scold Qin Xuan, Taizong waved his hand slightly, and promised: "Brother eldest grandson, the old man thinks that Qin Xuan's little friend is right, there is a saying that there is a king and a defeat in the world, and if the challenge fails, it is understandable to be punished!" ”

Fang Xuanling also nodded slightly and said, "Brother Qin is reasonable!" ”

Qin Xuan saw that the three of them had finished talking, so he spoke: "Old Qin, you choose a plank!" ”

Taizong pinched the fake whisker stuck to his chin, probably a little itchy, and his expression was a little weird, and after a while, he said, "The one in the middle!" ”

Qin Xuan stepped forward and lifted the wooden board and wrote: "Draw a lotus monk painting!" ”

Taizong looked sideways for a long time, and muttered to himself with a distressed face: "In this sentence, the old man always feels that there is something mysterious, but he can't figure it out for a while!" ”

Qin Xuan said with a smile: "What Elder Qin said is right, this last sentence is indeed mysterious, let's read it backwards and try it!" ”

Taizong read silently and exclaimed: "It's the same!" ”

Qin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, this is a mystery discovered in Xia, I don't know if Elder Qin can find out?" ”

Taizong thought for a while, but still didn't figure it out, and said a little discouraged: "Little friend Qin Xuan, you will listen to the next sentence!" ”

The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth curved slightly: "If Elder Qin admits defeat, he will be in the next sentence of the next sidewalk!" ”

Taizong was unwilling, and he was unwilling to ask Fang Xuanling and the others for help, gritted his teeth, and said helplessly: "Okay! The old man admits defeat, and the little friend will say the next sentence! ”

"The mountain spring on Jingquan Mountain is quiet!"
