"This son, the upper link of this store is painted with a lotus monk, please write the lower link." The guy said with a big smile.

This Senior Brother Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said a little depressedly: "Why has the difficulty of the couplet increased? ”

Without waiting for the guy to speak, one of the onlookers said with ridicule: "This Qingxinfang is one of the best restaurants in the capital, and it is almost rare for ordinary people to enter. ”

Senior Brother Lin retorted with a red face: "But the Shanglian that just came out is obviously very easy!" ”

The guy hurriedly explained: "Our owner said, her upper link is easy and difficult, depending on the luck of the answerer, all the upper links are rolled together, except for the owner, there will be no second person to know the content, and each upper link is randomly selected by our shopkeeper, if it is unlucky, it is absolutely possible to encounter the kind of eternal that no one can deal with." ”

As he spoke, he didn't forget to point to the position where Niu Haoran was standing in the store, and sure enough, there was a square table in front of him, and there was a pile of rolled up paper tubes on the table, which were no different from those taken out by the guy just now, they were all sealed, and it was impossible to see what was written in the paper tube from the outside.

Because Senior Brother Lin couldn't answer the next link, he suddenly felt a little unable to get off the stage, and snorted coldly: "After all, the questions are all made by the people in your store, who knows if you have done anything?" In my opinion, you are deliberately trying to arouse the interest of us and others first, and then use difficult things to force us back, to put it bluntly, this is a cover to deceive us and other readers! ”

Although he was arguing with strong words, it was not completely unreasonable, which immediately attracted the response of many students, and they criticized the owner of Qingxinfang for making a false mind and not being right.

At this time, another student stood up and said sarcastically: "This benevolent brother, it is obvious that you are only a shallow learner, and you can't get the next link, how can you still beat a rake?" ”

Senior Brother Lin's face turned blue all of a sudden, and he shouted angrily: "It's obvious that the store is deliberately making things difficult, didn't you take any benefits from the store to run out and reverse black and white?" ”

"Hehe, this son is just an ordinary scholar, the first time he entered Beijing, he didn't recognize the store at all, Brother Ren, your reaction was a little too radical, right? But I'm not angry with you, it's not worth it. As he spoke, he looked at the guy with a smile, "Since he can't get this uplink, if I do, can I also get a reward?" ”

The guy smiled and nodded: "That's natural, I don't know if the son can come out of the next couplet?" ”

"The book is in the Hantian Hanlin book, I don't know if it can be regarded as right?"

The guy hurriedly looked at Niu Haoran in the store, and after getting his nod, he immediately smiled and said to him: "Congratulations to this son, please come in!" ”

The student smiled at him, then summoned a friend of his and walked into the store together.

Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers exploded again, praising this student for his outstanding learning, and of course, he couldn't help but ridicule that Senior Brother Lin a few words.

Scholars are all good-looking, where can Senior Brother Lin stand it, he angrily brushed his sleeves and left, completely ignoring the earnest cries of the junior disciple of the same academy who was the first to pair the couplet.

The atmosphere has been heated up, so there are constantly students going to the lower link, but under Liu Jiaojiao's intentional control, there will be no more than ten students who can successfully match the upper and lower links in a day, and there are only twenty people with the companions they carry.

For the now wealthy Qingxinfang, it is nothing to eat and drink for 20 people a day, not to mention that these readers are people who cherish face, and they will not eat and drink nonsense, plus there are already mandatory regulations that no waste and no packaging are allowed, so the cost of Qingxinfang is not much.

Niu Haoran was worried at the beginning that so many students came to the next link every day, but only so many people could match it at the end of the day, and the students would have opinions, but he didn't expect that Liu Jiaojiao's difficult connections aroused the fighting spirit of the students, and some people even named and wanted to try that kind of eternal absolute, but all of them returned home.

At the counter in the store, Liu Shugen was holding a big bright red apple in his hand, and after taking a bite, he complained to Niu Haoran and said, "Little Niu, do you think these people are stupid to read?" It's not up to Jiaojiao's Shanglian at all, and there are so many people every day. ”

Niu Haoran said with a smile: "This is exactly the cleverness of the owner, the more they don't match, the more they want to match." ”

"Aren't they stupid to do what they know they can't do and still squeeze their heads to do it?"

"Hehe, they're different from you, you're content, but they're all ambitious and want to make a splash."

"Why do I think you're scolding me for not being motivated?"

"You don't want to be motivated in the first place, do you need me to point it out and scold you?"

"...... "Maverick, you are so annoying, in Jiaojiao's words, you have managed to talk to death."

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Gu Tingjun looked at the several letters in front of him saying that he was on sick leave, frowned and asked Wei Gonggong: "The weather has been good recently, why are all these people suddenly sick?" ”

Wei Gonggong smiled and said: "If you go back, a restaurant called Qingxinfang recently hung a large red silk at the door, saying that all students who go to Beijing to take the exam, as long as they can go to the store, they can eat in the store for free, all the dishes can be ordered, and they can also bring a companion, so the group of students in the capital all went to his house." ”

"It's just a means for a restaurant to solicit business, what does this have to do with the courtier's leave?"

"The emperor doesn't know, and the owner of this restaurant doesn't know where to invite the masters, but he has made a lot of eternal absolutes, not only the students can't come up, but even the civil servants who boast of being talented are also not right, so ......"

"So I took leave at home one after another, thinking hard about how to make the next couplet?"

"The emperor is wise."

Gu Tingjun was laughed at angrily, as a minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, he didn't want to worry about the monarch, and even pretended to be sick and stayed at home to figure out what couplets, what a group of unscrupulous things!

But then he also became a little interested, and asked, "Forever absolutely?" Is it really that hard? ”

Father-in-law Wei hurriedly replied: "The slave has never read a book, so I can't tell the degree of difficulty, but I heard a few of them, and asked the emperor to comment on them." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"The slave only heard two upper couplets, it is said that no one has come out of the lower couplets so far, one of which is the eight kings of the pipa qinse, and the king is above; The second is that this wood is from the firewood mountain. ”

Gu Tingjun carefully tasted the two Shanglian, and suddenly said with a smile: "You are right, the owner of this restaurant is indeed a master, so talented, I sigh to myself!" ”

Gonggong Wei hurriedly flattered: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, even if this person is talented and world-famous, he is just one of your people, how can he be compared with you." ”

"Although I am the Son of Heaven, I know how many pounds and taels I have, you dare to shoot this sycophant, but I dare not take it." Gu Tingjun scolded with a smile.

Father-in-law Wei is a very eye-catching person, otherwise he would not be able to become a trusted servant of the Son of Heaven, so he hurriedly blackened himself for a few words, and continued to shoot a few rainbow farts that made Gu Tingjun listen to it refreshed.

"Alright, I know that in your heart I am the best at everything." Although Gu Tingjun listened comfortably, he also understood that he couldn't listen to too many words like this, and it was easy to lose himself, so he hurriedly raised his hand to persuade him, "You go and pass the third brother into the palace, I remember that he is a shareholder of this Qingxin Fang." ”

Gu Tingfeng entered the palace and realized that he was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky.

Liu Jiaojiao made such a big move this time, he knew about it, and he also knew that those Shanglian were actually made by Liu Jiaojiao, but he never thought that this incident would alarm the emperor, and now the emperor said that he wanted to see the person who came out of Shanglian behind the scenes, where did he become such a big talent and come out on a business?

He must not betray Liu Jiaojiao.

He knows the character of this imperial brother too well, if he knows that Liu Jiaojiao's talent is so outstanding, he will definitely try to get her into the palace.

In Gu Tingjun's thoughts, he is the Son of Heaven, so the best things in the world belong to him, and the most talented woman should naturally belong to him.

As for the marriage contract made by the emperor, as the master of the whole world, how could he not think of a way to cancel the marriage contract, or directly come to Li Dai Taozhuang?

What kind of place the harem is, Gu Tingfeng really knows it too well, so it is absolutely impossible for him to let Liu Jiaojiao, who has become his friend, fall into this place where people eat people and don't spit out bones.

Also, Liu Jiaojiao's special identity, the chef of Qingxinfang, the Dong family, the Xie family's most beloved little granddaughter, the only daughter of Xu Tianci, the head of the household, plus the true appearance of the beautiful fairy, and those unique methods that even he dare not try......

Gu Tingfeng suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he couldn't help but tremble.

No, no, he has to hurry up and think about this matter, and he must not let Liu Jiaojiao enter the emperor's sight, otherwise......

He had an extremely bad premonition that the unlucky person at that time would not necessarily be Liu Jiaojiao, but him, the imperial brother who owns the world.
