In Bai Lidu's view, this Fan Xiaopeng's handwriting is also quite good, although it seems to be a line, but his calligraphy has a little more of a sense of the heaviness of the official book, it is estimated that he should also have a special practice of the official book, and his age is also a few years older than himself, and his calligraphy is naturally more stable, Fan Changben is also a person who likes calligraphy, so it is not unusual for his son to write such good words.

And what is even more eye-catching is that Fan Xiaopeng deliberately wrote the word "Fu" and "Shou" very large when he started writing two sentences, and the half of the poem he wrote not only occupied a whole sheet of rice paper, but also the word Fu Shou is also very eye-catching, it can be said that such a work can actually be given to Zhou Guanghai independently to congratulate his birthday, and there is no need for Bai Lidu to take the second half of the sentence at all, after all, he did not leave a place for himself to write half a sentence.

In this way, Bai Lidu also understood why Fan Xiaopeng would make such an arrangement that seemed to hit his own gun, obviously he was not only very confident in his calligraphy, but also seemed to not think that he would be able to easily pick up the so-called second half of the sentence.

The audience in the audience also applauded when they saw Fan Xiaopeng's superb calligraphy, Mayor Fan sat there, his face was also full of smiles, and his son was of course very happy to be able to grow his face.

"Humph! It turns out that he also knows calligraphy, no wonder he proposed to let his brother-in-law pick up his birthday poems, and so many people have to read it, it's really scheming. Zhou Ruoxin muttered beside Zhou Ruolan.

"Hmm......" Zhou Ruolan just mumbled, and she was also staring at Bai Lidu on the stage with all her attention at the moment, and she was still a little nervous in her heart.

Bai Lidu on the stage has also fallen into contemplation at this moment:

At first glance, the half of the poem he wrote does not seem to be difficult to accept, because the poem written by Fan Xiaopeng is not actually original, or something very obscure, but it is a well-known couplet in China, and it is very rare to use a couplet as the first half of the poem.

After thinking about it carefully, Bai Lidu also secretly screamed that it was not good, because such a half-sentence poem composed of a pair of couplets was really difficult to catch.

First of all, each clause in the first half of the sentence contains an idiom, and if you want to connect it, you also need to have two idioms in the second half of the sentence;

Secondly, there are not many words that can be matched with "Fushou", such as "health", "wealth", "benevolence", "benevolence", "morality", "integrity", and "righteousness", although they seem to be literally okay, but they lack the idioms to match;

In addition, in the first half of the sentence, the East China Sea and the South Mountain also appear respectively, and the East China Sea is out of the water, and the South Mountain also produces pine, should the opposite words be considered in the second half of the sentence? But that will become more difficult to be right, and if the four directions of southeast, west, and northwest appear in a poem at the same time, it will also give people a suspicion of being put together, not to mention that there is no matching artistic conception, after all, this is a birthday poem.

Bai Lidu realized that this Fan Xiaopeng had actually dug a very hidden and dangerous pit for himself, and now he has obviously fallen into the pit, and there is not much time left for him to get out of the pit.

"Great poet, it's been five minutes, do you want to give you another five minutes?" Fan Xiaopeng on the stage smiled at Bai Lidu and said, it seemed very harmless on the surface, but he was also secretly putting pressure on Bai Lidu.

Bai Lidu rubbed his temples, planning to change his way of thinking, poetry creates this kind of thing, sometimes it can't be too rigid, whether the content of the creation is good or not, whether there is or not is more important to pay attention to, this is like a man, if everyone wants to discuss the question of whether his wife is beautiful or ugly, then the most important problem is that he must have a wife first.

Bai Lidu, who relaxed a little, planned to change his strategy, to buy himself more time, he couldn't stand stupidly on the stage, that would be too passive, and Fan Xiaopeng, who was also on the stage, would definitely distract himself with some words.

Bai Lidu, who has mastered the ability to read quickly, plans to try to use two hearts again, the so-called one heart and two uses, that is, the mouth says A, and the head thinks B, or the surface is A, and the head thinks B.

"Ahem~ Mr. Fan is really confident in the half of the birthday poem he wrote, you see, there is no room for me to write half a sentence......" Bai Lidu said this, and his mind was still pondering the second half of the poem, and some poems he had read in the past also flashed quickly in his mind.

"Haha...... yes."

"There's really no place left, is this half of the poem really so difficult? ……”

"Of course, this half of the poem is a couplet, it is already self-contained, and it is just right if you don't connect it, but if you don't connect it well, it will be obviously redundant, and that's just a snake to add to it......"

Among the spectators sitting below, there are obviously people who are also knowledgeable, and after Bai Lidu mentioned this, he immediately understood.

Bai Lidu also walked to the table, put aside the one that Fan Xiaopeng had written, replaced himself with a blank piece of paper, and held the pen in his hand.

As he did these movements, Bai Lidu's mind was still running rapidly, and any verses or other couplets that he had seen in the past that were similar to this couplet were also quickly brushed over.

Suddenly, Bai Lidu recalled a poem, which was the fourth of five poems written by the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen:

Once the sea was difficult to water,

But Wushan is not a cloud.

Take the second flower bush lazy review,

Half-edge cultivation and half-edged king.

The first half of this poem is really similar to what Fan Xiaopeng wrote in terms of format, although the two clauses do not use idioms, but one talks about the water of the sea, and the other talks about the clouds of Wushan, which is very similar to the water of the East China Sea and the pine of the South Mountain.

And the second half of the poem is actually not neat, and its artistic conception has also jumped from the water and clouds in the first half of the sentence to the flower, Tao and someone in the second half of the poem.

In this way, this poem of Yuan Zhen also gave Bai Lidu a lot of inspiration, and he also had a general creative direction in his heart.

The audience held their breath, waiting for Bai Lidu on the stage to put down the pen, but saw Bai Lidu holding a brush and fell into contemplation again.

"Great poet, how's it going?" Fan Xiaopeng asked with a smile.

Bai Lidu also jumped out of his thoughts, dipped the ink in the inkstone with a brush, and said loudly: "You may not know that Uncle Zhou, who celebrates his fiftieth birthday today, is actually still my girlfriend's father, and if nothing happens, he is likely to be my future father-in-law......

"Hahaha......"

"What does my husband mean, why don't I understand?"

"Stupid, the father-in-law is the father-in-law."

"So, with such a relationship, the second half of the poem I want to get right today must not be too cheesy, it must be novel, and it must be in line with the main theme of the current era......" Bai Lidu said this, and his mind was already beginning to think of specific sentences.

"The main theme?"

"What's the current theme? How did I not know ......"

"Stupid, the main theme now is to make money, if anyone can turn other people's money into their own, it will be the most awesome......"

"That's right, but in addition to trying to make money, there is also being an official, and after becoming an official, wouldn't it be faster and easier to get rich......

"That's right, if you really become an official, then you won't be able to get rich......"

The crowd below was also talking.

On Bai Lidu's side, he has already begun to write, and the cameraman who has been waiting on the side immediately aimed the picture at the white paper under his pen.

I saw Bai Lidu smack a few strokes, and what he wrote was actually the half of the sentence that Fan Xiaopeng had already written:

[Blessing is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea,]

[Shoubi Nanshan Immortal Pine. 】

After everyone saw it, there was also a coaxing sound, thinking that the great poet should not be able to pick up the second half of the sentence, so he wrote the first half of the sentence again.

And Bai Lidu continued: "Actually, my future father-in-law is still a national cadre, and I won't talk about the specific official position, anyway, I am many levels higher than me......

"Hahaha......"

"Great poet, you are already level 32 in the game, so how many levels is your father-in-law?" A man shouted at the top of his voice below.

Bai Lidu didn't have time to pay attention to this, and continued: "So for my father-in-law, what we ordinary people think about are beautiful pursuits such as promotion, getting rich, etc., but he always needs to remind himself of the bottom line of being a man and being an official......

These words also suddenly made the entire atrium of the lobby silent.

Bai Lidu continued: "So, the second half of my birthday poem has also come out......"

"Boom!"

Bai Lidu quickly wrote the second half of the poem in his mind:

[No bribery on both sleeves,]

[A good official is upright. 】

Next, without stopping, Bai Lidu wrote the inscription at the end of the poem:

[On the sixteenth day of the first month of the second year, Li Dubai received Fan Gongzi's birthday poem in Yangcheng]

Subsequently, Bai Lidu reserved a place on the far right side of the poem, that is, the beginning of the poem, and wrote four words as the title of the poem:

【Gift to the old man】

"Hahaha......"

When everyone at the scene saw the title of the poem, they burst into laughter, followed by a burst of long-lasting applause......
