Chen Sanlang stood straight, his hand was very steady, and his pen was round, when the first word appeared on the white paper, the steward of Jinxianglou next to him couldn't help but secretly praise: "Good word!"
After a while, the pair was written, Chen Sanlang put down the pen and ink, and there was a faint sweat on the corner of his forehead.
When the ink on the paper had dried, the steward picked it up as usual and read aloud: "The vegetables are not strange, and the famous chef can cook ten kinds of brocade; That's right!"
The applause was enthusiastic.
This pair is easy to understand, not only inlaid with the word "Jinxiang", but also put the finishing touch on the two major selling points of Jinxiang Building: one is that the chef invited by the restaurant is a famous chef from Qinhuai Restaurant in Yangzhou;
Chen Sanlang arched his hand and was invited into the Jinxiang Building, ate something, and waited for the result.
After him, several scholars came up to write couplets, which won applause.
At noon, the steward announced the end of the event and began the selection and evaluation of the couplet. In charge of the review is an old scholar who is invited, who has a reputation in Nanyang Mansion and is fair.
After a quarter of an hour, twenty matching pairs are selected, from which the winner will be selected. At this time, the owner of Jinxiang House personally appeared, and together with the old scholar, he checked and selected to determine which pair would hang outside the door of the restaurant.
"Well, that's a good ......"
"This pair is also very good......
Pick and choose, think about it repeatedly, and finally pick out two pairs with their own spring and autumn, and they are uncertain for a while.
The audience was jammed, and the scholars who participated in it came one after another to see if they could be selected, as long as they entered the top 20, they would get 500 yuan.
Chen Sanlang squeezed in the crowd, and saw that the pair he wrote was held in the hands of the old pedant, and compared with the pair in the hands of the restaurant owner.
Chen Sanlang needs the money now, and of course hopes that he can win. It's just that such a work for the occasion, as long as it is written appropriately, it is almost the same as each other. Who wins and who loses depends on the mood and views of the host.
At the moment, it seems that the restaurant owner prefers the other.
The author of the pair already had a look of joy on his face: ten taels of silver are equal to ten pieces of money, which is quite a lot of money.
Don't look at the calligraphy and paintings in the bookpost Danqing store, the price is dozens of taels at every turn, they are all bluffing, marked with good-looking, all year round, I don't know if I can sell one.
The chubby restaurant owner coughed dryly, and was about to announce the result, when he suddenly heard a person say leisurely: "In the old man's opinion, this pair of words is better." ”
Being disturbed, the restaurant owner was quite displeased, looked up, and saw a middle-aged scribe with slightly dark skin and thick eyebrows, looking at Chen Sanlang's couplet, slightly distracted.
"Divide Cao Gong?"
The old pedant recognized him and cried out in surprise.
The restaurant owner was stunned: Divide Cao Gong, which one is Cao Gong......
The restaurant manager was clever, and hurriedly ran to the boss's ear and whispered a few words, and the restaurant owner suddenly smiled: "The arrival of Duke Cao really makes the small shop shine." Quick, get in and take a seat!"
Zhou Fencao waved his hand and said, "I'm just passing by, take a look and go." ”
The owner of the restaurant refused to let go of the opportunity to meet with celebrities, and hurriedly asked: "Fen Cao Gong just said that this couplet is better?"
Zhou Fencao looked at it and nodded slightly: "Yes, who is the author, can you please come out and see it?"
The restaurant manager pulled Chen Sanlang over from the crowd, and he had a deep memory of Chen Sanlang.
Zhou Fencao looked at Chen Sanlang: "It turned out to be you, and then you were terrible!"
Chen Sanlang was stunned: "You know me?"
"I didn't know each other before, but now I should know each other. I was drinking upstairs in Sanxian just now, and Master Xuezheng Du was also there, talking about you......"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.
A state of academic politics, a member of the three grades, who can be such a big person, so where does this weak scholar come from?
One after another, eyes fell on Chen Sanlang, Huo Ran was different, and many people felt strange: Since he came from a huge background, why did he come to write this work that suits the scene on the street? If he held his own identity, he would never look down on such a thing. Is it a momentary itchy hand?
Zhou Fencao said again: "Chen Daoyuan, your words, I look familiar. If you don't guess wrong, the old man's pair in Chaoshan Temple, then the next couplet 'double wood into a forest, the forest is forbidden, and the ban says: The axe catty enters the mountain forest at the right time', it should come from your hand. ”
Wow!
The crowd was even more uproar - Chaoshan Temple Absolutely, in recent years, has become a major focus of Nanyang literary circles, and people talk about it. Some time ago, someone came out of the next link, but this person didn't know who it was, and he couldn't find it, but it was strange.
Unexpectedly, the person who made the pair is now standing in front of everyone.
Seeing words and people, Zhou Fencao's eyes are like torches, since he has said the words, he is naturally somewhat sure.
Chen Sanlang did not deny it, and there was no need to deny it, and replied politely: "The student is ugly." ”
Zhou Fencao smiled: "Yes, very good, Nanyang College received a good student this year." The old man still has something to do, so take the first step. If you have time, you can come to Taoranzhuang to find me. ”
As he spoke, he separated the crowd and left.
People rushed up and surrounded Chen Sanlang so much that they couldn't get through, gossiping, and the ears were swollen and painful.
The owner of the restaurant very cleverly protected the pair written by Chen Sanlang: just kidding, this pair is likely to become the signature of the restaurant, if there is any damage, who to cry to?
The crowd was crowded, the movement was quite large, and the news spread like a wind.
On the street, a Taoist priest wearing a gossip robe walked flutteringly, with steady steps, holding a whisk of dust, faintly meaning to be out of the dust. He heard the noise of the crowd, and he didn't care, but just glanced over there casually as he passed by, and the next moment, he couldn't help but say "huh" in surprise.
The scholar surrounded by the crowd, the Taoist priest knew him, although the other party's cheeks were plump, but he would never admit it, but he just gave him the feeling, which seemed to have some unusual changes.
After thinking about it slightly, his eyes were revealed, and his vision changed suddenly: in a place that was invisible to the naked eye, there was a curling breath on Chen Sanlang's top. In the center, white and smooth, around this white gas, is a wisp of smoke like a cloud, thin, swirling, the color of the blue.
These youthful qi represent the signs of a person's current fortune. In Qimen physiognomy, there are three colors of fortune, black, blue, and red. Black is bad luck, cyan is smooth, red is the most vigorous, and the so-called "good luck" is also.
But what surprised the Taoist priest was the life qi in the center.
"How is it possible? A while ago, I saw from the "Wangqi Technique" that this son's life was vague and gray, quite shaken, and at most he was killed. In a short period of time, why is it so clean and strong?"
There are also three colors of life: gray, white, and yellow.
"No, there must have been some recent encounters in this son...... However, fortune is constantly changing, and fate is difficult to change, what kind of chance can make it change in a short period of time?"
The Taoist priest's eyes flickered, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
