Jingshi is not as fun as Wang Li imagined.

When the carriage walked out of a section, Wang Li's first impression was "two more": there were many and cow on the side of the road, and there were many green buildings on the side of the street!

Of course, it's really lively.

Candy sellers, monkeys, chest-crushing boulders, fortune tellers, all the city management of future generations will catch up, there are all here!

On this trip out of the palace, Lan Ruomei's purpose was to buy fetal pills, but Wang Li didn't know.

There was a carriage following behind, and Wang Li didn't pay attention.

After a while, the carriage stopped.

Lan Ruomei and Liu Ruyan entered the pharmacy, Wang Li was not interested in this, and looked left and right.

Soon, the stall opposite the "bounty levy union" attracted Wang Li's attention.

The man who set up the stall was about twenty-four or five years old, with a small goatee and a scholarly dress.

It's just that, judging from what he is wearing, he is definitely not a poor scholar!

"For the next couplet, the reward is two hundred taels ......"

After roughly understanding the words on the flag, Wang Li's eyes were shining again.

Two hundred taels, that's not a small amount!

In this Ming Dynasty's Jingshi, the silver is too easy to earn!

Wang Li didn't know anything about the couplet.

However, after reading countless novels and TV series, I still have a few couplets in my heart!

If the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, won't it be rich?

Lan Ruomei and Liu Ruyan took out the prescription, judging from the dense handwriting on it, it should be delayed for a while!

Go and check it out, it won't take a few minutes!

If they receive a joint reward, they may not know!

Yes, it won't be exposed!

Besides, I never said I couldn't read!

So, Wang Li endured the pain in his thigh and limped up.

"Cold wine, one point, two points, three points, ......"

Wang Li slowly read out the couplet, and the scholars who set up the stall immediately became interested and looked Wang Li up and down.

"I'll give you two hundred taels for the next couplet! You can also make a couplet, and if I don't match, I'll give you five hundred taels!" ”

"Really? You're not lying? ”

"A scholar's word, the horse is hard to chase!"

"Okay, okay, then I'll think about ......"

Wang Li pretended to scratch his head and think hard, but his heart was ecstatic.

I'll it!

What a dead mouse!

was about to come out of the next couplet, Wang Li secretly shouted that it was not good!

Two hundred taels of silver, not a small amount, and I definitely can't put it down on my sleeves!

Such a large pile will inevitably arouse suspicion!

Also, isn't Liu Ruyan in a pharmacy?

How did she come out?

Still staring at yourself!

Depend on!

In order not to show his stuffing, Wang Li had to return to the pharmacy.

"Boiled licorice, five and a half pounds ......"

"Rehmannia rehmannia, three catties ......"

"Jiuchuanxiong, two and a half catties ......"

"Wash half a summer, two and a half pounds ......"

"Ejiao cake, a pound of ......"

"Mother, who prescribed your medicine? If you cook it in this way, a few cows won't be able to hold it, right? ”

"Doctor Xu, I'm just preparing some common herbs, not for decoction. You just need to take the medicine according to the prescription, and remember to separate each flavor. ”

"Understood, understood!"

Doctor Xu turned around to grab the medicine, and Wang Li hurriedly pulled Liu Ruyan over.

"Aunt Ruyan, there are two hundred taels of silver over there, we are rich! Hey...... Do you want it or not? ”

Although Liu Ruyan was staring at Lang Zhong to grab medicine, she was also staring at Wang Li.

He went to the stall opposite, and Liu Ruyan saw it all.

In Beijing, at this time of year, there are countless scholars who participate in the palace examination, and there are countless scholars who try their best to attract attention.

In this regard, Liu Ruyan has long been accustomed to it.

However, Wang Li went to that stall, which is not normal.

"What, you can also couplet?"

An illiterate person, but thinking about receiving a reward for the couplet, a fool can see the problem.

Liu Ruyan was obviously a little vigilant, and stared at Wang Li intently.

However, Wang Li didn't care and grinned:

"My aunt doesn't know: there are several talents in my village, and they are in couplets all day long, and I would have memorized them a long time ago!

Auntie, I know the "one, two, three" written by the scholar, but I don't know the other words. There are "one, two, three" couplets, I memorize several, can you help me take a look? ”

Wang Li said this, Liu Ruyan relaxed her vigilance slightly, but was unmoved.

"Miss Ruyan, two hundred taels of silver! Are you really not tempted? ”

"Aunt Ruyan, if you don't like this money, just help, okay?"

"Aunt Ruyan, you heard it right, two hundred taels! You should be able to buy a lot of beautiful silk cloths, headwear, earrings and so on...... If it's right, half of the two of us, and we won't lose anyway, right? ”

Wang Li chattered endlessly, Lan Ruomei really had a big head.

She glanced at the other side, and then turned her gaze to Liu Ruyan: "Go ahead, I'm here!" ”

"Aunt Lan, I'...... How can I ......?"

"It's okay, you don't know herbs, it's useless to stay here. This guy made me annoyed, and he walked away just quietly. ”

Lan Ruomei said this, Liu Ruyan didn't hesitate anymore, and helped Wang Li to walk towards the stall.

"Cold wine, one point, two points, three points."

Liu Ruyan was afraid that Wang Li didn't hear clearly, so she read it several times.

Wang Li pretended to scratch his head, and then read aloud: "Lilacs, hundreds of thousands of heads." ”

Liu Ruyan didn't understand the mystery of this couplet, but the scholar who set up the stall trembled.

In fact, Wang Li didn't understand couplets at all, and he didn't know anything about the rules of Pingqian Grid.

However, Wang Li can be sure: his own subordinate should be the most reasonable counterpoint in hundreds of years, and there is no other way!

Actually, this is a pair of split words:

The "氷" in the upper couplet is actually the "ice" of later generations;

The three words "cold wine" happen to be the side of "one point, two points, three points", plus the other half of the word "water".

The lower couplet of Wang Li, in which the word "10,000" was written as "Wan" in the Ming Dynasty;

The "head" of "hundreds of heads, thousands of heads" corresponds to the first half of the word "lilac".

"High! That's high! I didn't expect to meet such a great sage in Beijing! ”

The scholar was convinced, and put a small cloth bag on the table: "Two hundred taels of silver, give it all!" But ......"

The scholar changed his words and said with a smile: "If you can make a couplet, if I can't make a couplet, I can get another five hundred taels, do you want to try?" ”

The scholar looked mild-mannered, but his words were full of provocation.

Wang Li did not speak, nor did he leave.

So, the scholar smiled faintly and smashed a large bag of silver on the table.

The mouth of the bag is untied, and there are a lot of white flowers!

This formation immediately attracted dozens of onlookers.

Perhaps the scholars were too arrogant, and the onlookers cheered for Wang Li.

This time, Wang Li was really scratching his head and thinking hard.

It's just that the crowd that was still cheering just now suddenly dispersed.

All that remained, a man in his fifties who looked like a eunuch.

Wang Li didn't care about this man, and was just about to ask the question, but Liu Ruyan pulled his robe.

"Little princess, let's go, let's go!"

"Aunt Ruyan, let me give it a try, five hundred taels!"

"Let's go!"

Liu Ruyan kept urging, forcibly pulled Wang Li out a few steps, and quietly pointed at the eunuch.

"Cut!"

Wang Li snorted lightly, his face full of disdain.

I'm afraid of him!

Isn't it just a eunuch, not Wei Zhongxian!

I was in the downtown area, I didn't provoke him, and I didn't violate the king's law, so why hide?

Besides, even if he is a celebrity next to Wei Zhongxian, so what?

That Wei Zhongxian is in power and in the opposition, but he is just a house slave!

Can it be compared with Zhang Yan in the world of mothers?

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Yan to protect herself!

However, that guy doesn't know himself, but he may know Liu Ruyan!

Therefore, he knew that he was the eunuch of Kunning Palace, but he didn't know his true details!

At least for now, he won't touch himself!

Moreover, he is not a swordsman!

That's nothing to be afraid of!

Back to Kunning Palace, if the queen blames it, it's a big deal to leave immediately!

In Jingshi, it's not hard to earn money, you can't starve to death!

So, Wang Li shook off Zhang Yan's hand and returned to the stall.

Just now, as the crowd suddenly dispersed, the scholar also noticed the eunuch.

Out of the arrogance of the literati, the scholars are not afraid.

Seeing Wang Li return, he was even more energetic.

"Phew!"

Another bag of silver slammed on the table.

Then, the scholar held his head high, glanced at the eunuch with disdain, and then moved his gaze to Wang Li.

"There is no limit to the number of words! As you go! As long as I can't match it, a thousand taels of silver, I will give it immediately! ”

"You are in a hurry to send money, I should accompany you!" Wang Li did not show weakness, and slapped the bag of two hundred taels on the table: "Okay!" As long as you can match the next couplet, I will also give you two hundred taels! ”

This posture is about to start a fight!

The eunuch was also interested, and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Liu Ruyan kept pinching Wang Li's hand, but Wang Li ignored it, and glanced at the eunuch with a provocative gaze.

Of course, Wang Li didn't want to waste time, so he quickly decided: "You! Listen, my uplink is only five words: Ice is better than ice water! ”

Afraid that the scholar didn't hear clearly, Wang Lilian said it twice.

These words, if written according to the Ming Dynasty, are "氷 than 氷水氷".

Only five words indeed!

Seemingly, it's simple.

"Cut!"

The scholar smiled disdainfully, the corners of his mouth moved, and he was just about to go out of the link, when he realized that something was wrong.

Then, the scholar sat down slowly, scratching his head incessantly.

In just a minute or two, the scholar was sweating like rain and his face was like ashes!

Seeing this, Wang Li pinched his thighs fiercely, so he couldn't help but laugh.

You're a sample!

If you don't die, you count me as losing!

Lao Tzu has lived hundreds of years longer than you!

Dare to play couplets with Uncle Ben, you are still a little tender!

Hum!

Huh!

In fact, this is also a pair of split words.

Its artistic conception is no less than "lilac" and "cold wine".

In terms of morphology, "water" is completely different from "water" and "water": what is not melted is "water", and after melting, it is "water", and if it is not completely melted, it is "water";

Secondly, the temperature of "Shui Shui" is at most zero degrees, and it is certainly not as low as the temperature of "Shui Shui".

Moreover, the first and second "氷" are nouns, and the third "氷" has become an adjective!

So, these seemingly simple five words actually have a lot of meaning!

For a while, the scholar really couldn't get it right.

was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he refused to admit defeat.

"Brother, thank you!"

Wang Li was sure that the scholar would not come out, and grabbed the sack on the table.

Go for it!

This bag of silver is so heavy!

It seems that a thousand taels of silver can't be carried away by yourself!

But luckily, the carriage stopped right on the opposite side!

So, Wang Li carried the cloth bag and limped to the carriage.

After returning, he carried another cloth bag: "If you go out of the next link, I can pay you back two hundred taels, and I will never lose my word!" ”

Throwing down the harsh words, another bag of silver was carried onto the carriage.

At the end of the fight, the intimidating eunuch did not embarrass Wang Li, and left quickly on a tall horse.

On the other side, according to Zhang Yan's prescription, Lan Ruomei grabbed dozens of bags of different herbs, estimated at no less than eighty catties.

Wang Li helped move it to the carriage, and Liu Ruyan said carefully:

"That person is Wei Zhongxian's cronies, the current servant Qing, the right deputy capital Yushi, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, Wu Chunfu!"

"Wu Chunfu? Haven't heard of it! "Wang Liman clapped his hands nonchalantly, is there anything wrong?"

"If you don't offend him, there should be no problem. However, the queen mother specially explained: as long as it is Wei Zhongxian's person, he must stay away from him! ”

"Isn't that right? I'm just talking to someone, so I didn't provoke him! ”

Wang Li was still full of indifference, and suddenly remembered a big event: "Aunt Ruyan, Qin Huai...... Isn't it...... Have you ever heard of Liu Rushi? Is she a relative of your family? ”
