Qian Mansion, Zheng Sen began to sulk as soon as he came back, and was turned away for several days in a row, the loss of silver is a trivial matter, but losing face is a big thing. He was originally a wealthy nobleman, since he was a child, he was dressed in angry horses, and his servants were like clouds, and no one dared to refute his face, and he thought that he could continue to pretend to be forced when he got to Nanjing, but he was beaten up for the first time when he went out, and he has not recovered the defeat so far.

"Hey, Zheng Damu, Zheng Damu, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Sen began to doubt himself, "After so many days, I can't even get a link up, am I really so unbearable?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, he found himself again, because these couplets had already flowed out, and there were not many people who came out, so it seemed that he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

After comforting himself for a while, he remembered what Li Xiaojun said before leaving, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and then understood: "What a Li Xiangjun, he actually poured me rice soup and drunk me!" ”

As soon as he thought of Li Xiaojun's treacherous expression in the curtain, he was furious, picked up a knife and slashed it on the desk, "Dead servant street, big stupid, I'm angry with me!" ”

Zheng Gongzi cursed the street while torturing the desk, and in just a few clicks, a good hardwood table was chopped to pieces, and it could only be burned as firewood.

Qian Sunai saw that he had locked his target on the Taishi chair again, and hurriedly stopped him, "Senior brother, don't mess around, I didn't go in today, let's continue to think of a way." ”

Zheng Sen threw away the discarded sword, poured a few sips of tea, turned his head to look at him and said, "Senior brother, do you have anything else to do?" We don't know how many couplets she has in her stomach, and she is led by the nose every time, which is not good! ”

Qian Sunai thought for a while, and finally had to say helplessly, "Why don't I write a letter to Ying Tianfu and transfer a few officials over......"

"No way!" Before he finished speaking, Zheng Sen flatly refused, "I must enter in a proper way." ”

Qian Sunai had no choice but to accompany him to find a way, although he was a little literate, but he had not systematically studied couplets, because he had not yet gained fame, and it was impossible to spend too much time on these sideways.

The two pondered together for a while, and Zheng Sen spoke first, "Senior brother, I have long heard that the teacher has a lot of books, you go and find out all the books about couplets from ancient times to the present, I want to study them carefully, I don't believe that my intelligence will not be able to break through the door of Meixianglou." ”

Qian Sunai persuaded, "Oh, senior brother, why bother. Let's just pick up a team of family members and go in, why suffer this crime? ”

"You don't understand!" Zheng Sen gritted his teeth and said, "Go quickly, I'm going to retreat and study hard tonight!" ”

Qian Sunai was very embarrassed and said, "Although my father's collection of books is large, they are all in Changshu's hometown, if you really want me to send someone back to get it, but this back and forth, it will be delayed for a few days." ”

"Delay for a few days, delay for a few days!" Zheng Sen said disapprehantly, "Quickly send someone to hire a clipper, you don't have to worry about the silver, my only request is to be fast." ”

The rich man spoke, and Qian Sunai had to do it, he quickly called Changsui and asked him to hurry up and go back to Changshu, but Changsui was about to go out when he was stopped by his stepmother Liu Ru.

Liu Ru has been studying the music score taught to her by Li Xiaojun in the past two days, and has performed in front of Qian Qianyi a few times, although she has been praised by Lao Qian, but she always feels that she does not have the artistic conception of the desert wind and sand that Li Xiaojun plays, and at this time she was about to arrange for someone to prepare for a car to go to Meixianglou again, but she saw that Qian Sunai was also arranging for Changsui to return to Changshu's hometown, so she called Changsui and asked, "What are you doing when you go back to your hometown?" ”

Chang Sui couldn't say clearly, only said that he was ordered by the eldest prince to go back to his hometown to pick up the book, Liu Ru felt a little strange, so he called Qian Sun Ai to question.

"Ah, well, this ......" Qian Sunai had to tell the ins and outs of the matter, and finally summed it up, "Senior Brother Zheng is going crazy!" ”

"Hmph, what a stupid papaya!" Liu Ru sneered, "I can't even deal with a little girl, I'm really anxious!" You go and call him, and I'll show him a few tricks. ”

After a while, Zheng Sen came to the backyard with his head struck, Liu Ru looked at him, and couldn't help but joke, "I said you two, what two idiots, is it too late to go back to your hometown to get the book now?" ”

Zheng Sen said disappreciatively, "Grinding guns in battle, it's not fast." ”

Liu Ru snorted lightly, "Hmph, Xiangjun's couplets are all absolute, even if you study for ten years at your level, you may not be right, can people wait for you for ten years?" ”

Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "The disciple is dull, and I also ask my wife for some advice." ”

Liu Ru glanced at him, and said in his heart, your kid usually looks at me like Sun Ai's bastard boy, but now he has become respectful and respectful when he asks me, so it can be seen that he is not a good person, if I don't take this opportunity to tease you today, it will be difficult to understand the anger in my heart!

Seeing that Liu Ru didn't agree, Qian Sun Ai hurriedly interjected, "It's better to post her couplet, invite Jiangnan scholars to come right, and give a heavy reward to those who come out." ”

Zheng Sen shook his head and said, "It's okay the first time, but not now, her current rule is that she must go out of the next link within the time of a stick of incense, and she won't admit it when she goes out." ”

Qian Sunai sighed, "What should I do?" ”

Zheng Sen saw that Liu Ru had not spoken, so he had to bow his hand and say, "Please also ask my master to be merciful and guide the disciples." ”

"People......" Liu said, "the key is the person who is in the couplet." ”

"Oh, disciple knows!" Qian Sunai was still stunned, Zheng Sen had already completely understood, "Yes, why did the disciple forget about this, no matter how many famous couplets there are, it is not as effective as a couplet master." ”

"Well, yes, that's what it means!" Liu Ru nodded lightly, pointed to his forehead and scolded, "It's not stupid yet!" ”

As soon as Liu Ru was reminded, Zheng Sen was all the way, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Good idea, what a good idea!" Senior brother, let's go to set up a couplet ring tomorrow, and focus on the world's couplet talents, if you don't believe in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, you won't find a few people who can do couplets. ”

"Ah, yes, yes!" Seeing that there was another lively view, Qian Sunai was overjoyed, and then asked, "Then where are we placed, and how much is the reward?" ”

Zheng Sen thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Wang Xiaoda is extremely good at welcoming and is known as 'Harmony Soup', so it is better to put it in her building." ”

Liu Ru smiled when he heard this, "Wang Xiaoda has been good for a long time, which dynasty and generation of old yellow calendar are you?" ”

Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly, "The disciple is indeed lonely, and I ask my sister for advice." ”

Liu Ru didn't think much about it, folded her hands and counted for a while, and said, "Wang Xiaoda is good, and the person who is best at welcoming people in the old courtyard is Gu Dajia, so put it in her Tongxi Building." ”

Gu Dajiao, whose real name is Gu Xi, is a northern girl, very bold and generous, capable and bright, and is the best at ushering in and sending them away. Because he was born with a pair of heavenly feet, he got the nickname "Gu Dajiao". And because of her plump body, which is very different from the slender and feminine figure of other girls in Qinhuai's old courtyard, she has earned the nickname of "meat screen".

"Well, good, good!" After listening to Gu Dajia's introduction, Zheng Sen hurriedly nodded in agreement, "That's it!" ”
