Chapter 280, admit defeat
Of course, Yan Yu also saw that Lu Ming's painting was based on Wei Yingwu's two poems, and she also saw her husband's intentions, so she also felt a little confident in her heart, thought carefully for a while, gritted her teeth, and wrote a poem:
"The reeds are born by the river, and the smoke and rain are frightening.
The lonely boat is empty and complaining, and the gathering and dispersion of poverty are all antecedents. ”
After writing the last word, Yan Yu looked at Lu Ming expectantly, Lu Ming pulled the corners of his mouth, "It's good, it's good, but... ”
Lu Ming couldn't go on with the rest of the words, if it was put in normal times, this poem would be okay, and the last two sentences of irony against Yan Yan were also quite in line with his mind, but if he said against his will that this poem was better than Yan Yan's words, he couldn't say it.
The people present are not stupid, this poem and Yan Yan's words are too different in terms of concept, pattern, artistic conception and diction, not to mention, the first two sentences of Yan Yu's poem are still translated from Wei Yingwu's poem.
Seeing this, Zhou Wan took Lu Ming's words, "It's good, but it's still worse than the eldest cousin... ”
"Wan'er, you're talking too much." Mrs. Zhou stopped her daughter.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, admit it, isn't it just watering? What a big deal. Wu Zhe stepped forward and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder.
Indeed, letting him admit that Yan Yu's poem is stronger than Yan Yan's is too much of a test of his conscience.
"What about the husband's paintings? Isn't it a poem or a painting? Husband's paintings should always be better than big brother, right? Yan Yu didn't give up and asked.
"This, this..." Wu Zhe is hard to say.
Speaking from the heart, Lu Ming's paintings are not better than Lu You's, it can only be said that they are between the best, but Yan Yu's poems are a lot worse than Yan Yan's words.
"Okay, you've had enough of it, it's time to set up dinner ahead." Zhu made a round of words, wanting to turn this matter over.
She didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to admit defeat in public, and she didn't want to watch these two people work as coolies in public and spread the word, like what?
"Second brother, tell me for yourself. If you don't want to be a gentleman, sister-in-law, I won't force you, but it's just a bet, husband, come, lay the pen and ink for me, I suddenly want to give you a riddle. ”
"Okay, what riddle?" Wu Chu clapped his hands and smiled.
Yan Yan smiled, she wrote Xue Baochai's poem about crabs, "Gui Ai Tongyin sits upright, and Chang'an salivates and looks forward to Chongyang." There is no longitude and latitude on the road in front of you, and the spring and autumn sky is black and yellow. ”
Who knew that before Yan Yan could write out the next few sentences, Zhou Wan shouted loudly, "I know, it's a crab." ”
She is from the south, and every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she sits with her family and eats crabs, and naturally she has seen how crabs walk, so she guessed it by looking at the first few sentences.
"Why crabs? What does it mean? Wu Yu hadn't eaten crabs and asked.
"I don't understand this, the crab walks sideways, and it can't tell the warp and weft, and the skin is black and yellow, so it naturally means that the crab is boiled in the end regardless of whether the stomach is black or yellow." Wu Zhe only explained the first sentence clearly, and the implication of the latter words was too obvious, so he didn't say it.
"Piri Chunqiu is from the Book of Jin. The Legend of Zhu Qi refers to the person Zhu Li... Xu Yu stopped when he said this, and hooked the corners of his mouth, this eldest lady of the Yan family is indeed a wonderful person and an interesting person, but unfortunately, Luo Fu has a husband.
"Husband, I'm hungry and tired, let's say goodbye to the elders first." Yan Yan stretched out his hand to Lu You.
But before she could say goodbye to the elders, Lu Ming took the initiative to stand up, "We admit defeat, it is true that our skills are not as good as others, so we will water the ground." ”
After speaking, Lu Ming ignored everyone's surprised, curious or teasing eyes, and calmly ordered a few maids and servants to prepare tools.
"Sister-in-law, do you really want the second brother and sister-in-law to water?" Lu Han was unhappy and asked.
"Wrong, it's not that I really want to, you have all seen what the cause of today's incident is, this bet was put forward by the second brother first, and the topic was also from him, from beginning to end, I was just forced to take over, my biggest advantage is that I am willing to gamble and lose, just like my relationship with my second brother, I was rushed into and I recognized, I admitted to retreating, I admitted to marrying a concubine, my husband has a hidden disease, I admit it, I am chasing and making it difficult today, I also admit it, but the skills are not as good as others, it has nothing to do with me."
After speaking, Yan Yan smiled and said to Yan Yu again: "The second brother and sister should still remember what I said, when I was in the Yan family, in front of my uncles, aunts and younger brothers and sisters, did I say this, I am willing to lose the bet." ”
"What does this have to do with gambling?" Several people asked at the same time, including Lu Han, Zhou Wan, Wu Zhe, and Xu Yu.
"Because marriage is a bet, before getting married, the other party's character, talent, personality, etc. are basically hearsay, how difficult to define the facts, and whether the other party's personality and themselves can match is also unknown, therefore, I said that marriage and gambling are no different, but marriage is a person's luck, if you are lucky, you can meet a good person, bad luck, you can only admit it when you meet a scumbag, who told me that I didn't refuse at the beginning?"
"Okay, the more you talk about it, the more you don't like it, a girl, full of bets and bets, and she's not afraid of outsiders seeing jokes." Mrs. Lu spoke.
Although she likes Yan Yan, she never wants to watch her baby grandson being humiliated, doesn't it imply that her baby grandson can't live up to her?
But having said that, today's Mrs. Lu is also very disappointed in Lu Ming and Yan Yu, and it is too embarrassing to lose to two people who have not studied seriously.
You must know that Lu Ming and Yan Yu are both parents, they have been carefully cultivated and taught since they were children, and they are both known as talented sons and daughters in the capital, what is the result?
But this competition was proposed by Lu Ming himself, whether he slapped his face or not?
But strictly speaking, what Mrs. Lu dislikes is Yan Yu, because Lu Ming is not bad in terms of poetry or painting skills, and is on par with Yan Yan and Lu You.
"Back to my grandmother, my granddaughter-in-law knew that she was wrong. The granddaughter-in-law just discussed the experience of marriage with everyone on the matter, if there is any rudeness, please forgive me. Yan Yan naturally wouldn't go against Mrs. Lu.
"Mother, this matter is indeed not Yan'er's fault alone, Erlang is also at fault, Erlang first proposed the competition, the skills are not as good as others, if you are willing to gamble, you should lose, Erlang, Erlang's daughter-in-law, you two go and water the peony garden." Zhu took the conversation.
She also understood it after seeing Yan Yan's ironic crab poem and Fang Cai's words.
