Chapter 46: Absolute Through the Ages (2)
Princess An didn't say much, but judging from her actions, she didn't mean to oppose Prince An.
The shopkeeper immediately arranged for someone to prepare pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other items, and soon set up a small competition venue in front of the Jade Pavilion. I have to say that the efficiency of this Jade Pavilion is indeed not low, it is obviously a temporary decision, in the whole process of preparation, the personnel arrangement and arrangement are carried out in an orderly manner, and the scene is not chaotic.
The people who were present, whether they were ordinary people or dignitaries, were all looking forward to it, and Shangguan Lihua also saw that there were still many children of official families secretly ordering people to leave, presumably to pass on the news of the Jade Pavilion's temporary rise in the matching competition today, and by the way, go and call for foreign aid.
On the other hand, King An had already instructed the little maid to invite a few of his friends who often got together on weekdays to come over and join in the fun.
However, in an hour's time, the small temporary venue of the Jade Pavilion was already full of people, ordinary people or high-ranking officials, poor students or noble daughters of the family, all waiting for the Jade Pavilion shopkeeper to announce the rules of the competition and announce the start.
Of course, in such a scene, generally speaking, the initiator will prepare several good pairs and wait for the opening. Sure enough, Shangguan Lihua only looked at the shopkeeper of the Jade Pavilion and explained the rules of the competition and the mysterious prizes given by the Jade Pavilion and the lottery given by King An himself again under the watchful eyes of everyone, and saw that he was holding a few pairs from the Jade Pavilion that could also be called absolute pairs for everyone to write.
Shangguan Lihua glanced at them one by one, but did not stop at which couplet. She didn't notice that Shangguan Qihua had been staring at her closely, but when she saw her look like this, she didn't know what to think in her heart, Shangguan Qihua only knew that her heart was mixed at this moment. She no longer thinks that Shangguan Lihua is acting indifferently because she can't come out, on the contrary, after Fang Cai's incident, she really understands that the gap between herself and Shangguan Lihua is so big, and she only has one or two clues.
But she, Shangguan Qihua, will never admit that her talent is much worse than Shangguan Lihua, the only difference is that she does not have a status as noble as Shangguan Lihua.
Shangguan Qihua saw that Shangguan Lihua didn't plan to speak, so he thought that he would take the opportunity to make a few more pairs, so as to spread his good reputation.
When they were each thinking about it, King An's side was already lively. At this time, Shangguan Lihua also followed over to take a look, but Shangguan Qihua did not follow Shangguan Lihua, and walked to the other side to show his talent.
Speaking of this, Shangguan Lihua didn't know where to float from beginning to end, empty but felt that she had a lot of ideas, saying that she had ideas, but she felt that she was not aimless and let go of herself at will. But thinking of the speculation and affirmation of his own side, Shangguan Lihua's head sobered up in an instant, and he only heard King An being compared with a man at this time, and only heard King An write:
Shanglian: Eight hundred miles of Dongting is magnificent with Yueyang;
The man walked unhurriedly to the bookcase and said:
Downlink: Two thousand years of red cliffs to see the yellow crane romance.
"Okay, the battle is neat and extraordinary, I don't know who the son is?" King An said appreciatively.
Shangguan Lihua was slightly familiar with the man's back, and what flashed in his mind was a little like Jiang Biming, who only had one side at the Beichen Mountain Literary and Poetry Conference. Sure enough, Shangguan Lihua heard the man reply: "Jiang Biming, a student in Xia Yunzhou." "Neither humble nor arrogant, and does not show any timidity or humility because the other party is King An.
An Wang was satisfied with this person's performance and nodded frequently. But seeing Shangguan Lihua's gaze turned to this side, he immediately put away what he wanted to say just now, and turned to Shangguan Lihua and said: "Miss Shangguan, the king is still regretting that he can't compete with you today, but now like this, but appreciate his face?" ”
Jiang Biming turned around, only to find that behind him stood the woman who was in the graceful moon of Beichen Mountain.
Shangguan Lihua smiled lightly: "It is really Shangguan Lihua's luck to be appreciated by King An. ”
King An was not polite, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of courtesy to Shangguan Lihua. Opening:
Shanglian: Kick through the three stones of Lei Bridge
Shangguan Lihua said without thinking:
Downlink: Cut out the word two mountains
After Shangguan Lihua finished the match, the people recorded in the Jade Pavilion had also been recorded, and King An's eyes lit up, right and beautiful!
"The eldest lady is worthy of her reputation, how many couples does this king have, I don't know if the eldest lady Shangguan may continue?" King An asked.
"Since this is the case, then Shangguan Lihua can only be respectful and obey his fate." Then he generously motioned to King An to continue.
Everyone saw King An's vigorous and powerful writing:
Shanglian: Nantong Prefecture North Tongzhou North Tongzhou Tongzhou North and South Tongzhou Tong Nanbei. Shangguan Lihua paced back and forth, and then spoke again:
Downlink: East Pawnshop, West Pawnshop, East Pawnshop, Pawnshop, Pawnshop.
"Good! Bi Ming admires! It's definitely ancient and modern! Jiang Biming exclaimed. Miss Shangguan, can Bi Ming also make a couplet? ”
"Why not? Mr. Jiang, please! "Shangguan Lihua made a 'please' gesture, signaling that Jiang Biming could ask the question.
Jiang Biming didn't squirm, and then said:
Shanglian: Laughing at the past and laughing at the present, laughing at the east and laughing at the west, laughing at the south and laughing at the north, laughing back and forth, laughing at their ignorance;
Shangguan Lihua thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang is so knowledgeable, but he is so humble, but it is not as good as Shangguan Lihua to sigh to himself. After speaking, he said seriously:
Downlink: Observing things and things, watching the sky and the earth, watching the sun and the moon, looking at the upper and lower, and observing others is always high and low.
At this time, everyone who was still scattered was absolutely attracted by Shangguan Lihua's couplet, and they all looked at Shangguan Lihua one after another. King An was like a treasure, and he praised Shangguan Lihua directly. Several of King An's old friends also had almost the same reaction, as if they were overjoyed with a treasure, and they rushed to Shangguan Lihua's side one by one. Princess An looked at this scene with some amusement, but she didn't say anything. He and King An are entrusted by others today, but the love for Shangguan Lihua is indeed sincere, and these Shangguan Lihua naturally won't know, but when she comes back to her senses today, she will definitely be able to guess seven or eight points.
Everyone stopped their pens and looked at Shangguan Lihua, as if the woman was just standing there quietly, not doing anything, but it was really impossible to ignore, and it was very eye-catching.
Everyone present was amazed by Shangguan Lihua, only one of them was an exception, that was the Taifu of the previous dynasty, who was old but quite prestigious, but in his bones he admired the theory of 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented'.
