Chapter 148 Competing Poems

Master Lu smiled, stroked his beard, and said: "During the Lantern Festival, lanterns are everywhere. A few days ago, Magistrate Song went to the countryside to observe the people's sentiments. He came across a revolving lantern hanging at the door of a family's house, and a connection came to his mind.

I have been thinking hard for several days but I still can't get an answer. Today, there are many talented people in Xinghua. I will take advantage of Song Zhixian's joint examination to test you all. Please listen carefully. This first couplet is: revolving lantern, horse moving when the light is turned off, horse stopping when the light is turned off."

As soon as this couplet came out, the county magistrate sat silently at the table, but he had a proud look on his face. This couplet is not simple. It is not difficult to look at, but it is actually very difficult to put it neatly. He listened to everyone discussing quietly again, and he

My face has also gained a lot of brilliance. I think back then, I was born in a prestigious family, and I haven’t done this kind of thing in many years. Today, I will show off a skill or two, so that you, the younger generation, will have a bright future.

There were many talented people at the scene. Even talented women like Shen Yuzhen and Zheng Ruoying thought hard when they heard about this couple, and they wanted to match each other, so as not to weaken the name of their daughter's family. However, this couplet seems simple at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, it must be right.

It's really not easy to be neat. I bit my lip and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have a clue.

As soon as Zheng Zuliang saw this couplet, he knew that he would definitely not be able to do it today, nor in the future. He wanted to see if Liang Chuan was capable, and he smiled meaningfully on his face.

Xu Yang originally wanted to show off his talent and knowledge. How difficult could it be to make a pair? Unexpectedly, he underestimated the cultural level of the old magistrate. It really stumped him when he made a pair. And he saw that

Looking at Liang Chuan's calm expression, he seemed to have a clue. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He wanted to take action in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.

Liang Chuan didn't say anything. He held his hands behind his back and looked at the stars in the sky. Master Lu couldn't help but be surprised to see that he was still thinking about looking at the stars in the sky at this moment. The audience also chatted for a long time, and several famous

The students also had frowns on their faces, and no one said anything. No one could think of the second line, so naturally no one would be in the limelight.

Master Lu estimated that no one would have thought of this couplet for a while. Liang Chuan looked calm, but he wanted to confront him. After waiting for a long time and no one said anything, Master Lu said calmly: "Look at this."

It seems simple, but the difficulty is not small. It not only matches the meaning of today's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, but also is an inverted couplet. Mr. Xu, I wonder if you have a second couplet in your mind?"

Master Lu suddenly attacked Xu Yang. Xu Yang struggled for a long time but couldn't think of a decent second line. When Master Lu just reminded him, his face suddenly turned red like pig liver. He stood on the stage stupidly, embarrassed.

Liang Chuan smiled and sighed and said: "Master Lu, I have seen a similar couplet to this couplet before, but I borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and borrowed the couplets from my predecessors to write this couplet to you."

"Oh? Mr. Zhang actually has the second couplet." Master Lu was a little surprised. This kid could actually guess the second couplet correctly. Moreover, this kid didn't want to say that he had corrected it. What was he planning?

Liang Chuan said: "The first couplet of County Magistrate Song is: revolving lanterns, horses running when the lights are turned off, horses stop when the lights are turned off, so my second couplet is: flying tiger flag, flying tiger flag, tiger hiding under the flag! Master Lu, what do you think?"

"Flying tiger flag, flying tiger flag, tiger hiding in flag roll." Master Lu muttered it twice before blurting out a good word.

The county magistrate couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't expect that the pair he finally thought of would be easily figured out by this kid.

Zheng Ruoying, Shen Yuzhen and the others all shook their heads, still losing to them.

When Xu Qi heard that Zhang Yang was so neat, his liver-colored face immediately turned ashen. This city was captured by Liang Chuan first, and he was afraid that the title of the most talented person in Xinghua would be given to others.

Master Lu was also in a state of admiration. He had been thinking about this pairing for several days without any explanation. He just talked about it for a long time and this humble countryman actually got it right!

"Jiang people are full of talented people. Mr. Zhang is really talented. In just a few breaths, he was able to come up with such a neat second line. I admire him." Master Lu looked at Zheng Zuliang from the stage with a smirk on his face.

, could it be that Officer Zheng was right and said at that time: "Officer Zheng, I have been watching you laugh for a long time on the stage. Did you also come up with the second line? Why don't you go on stage to share it?"

Zheng Zuliang was so frightened that he waved his hands and said: "Master Lu, please stop teasing me. The ink in my stomach has been exhausted long ago. Now it is the world of their young people. You may not know that this Liang Chuan next to you, you still have

Test him with pairs."

Master Lu looked puzzled and said: "Guan Zheng, tell me carefully, why can't you test Mr. Zhang's pairing?"

Although Zheng Zuliang was sitting below at this time, he spoke clearly and said: "This Liang Chuan opened a small shop in Fengshan. He didn't sell anything in the shop, but only sold three pairs, threatening that someone could figure it out.

The reward is one hundred taels. I, Lao Zheng, was lucky enough to be in the shop on the opening day, so I added a little to the prize, making it five hundred taels!"

Five hundred taels! As soon as these words came out, the scene was a little excited. In modern times, this amount of money would be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Who wouldn't be moved by it? What's more, you can take away this money with just a few words.

Master Lu was greatly shocked and asked: "Guan Zheng is happy today. Master Liang Chuan has definitely corrected Song Magistrate's couplet. Why don't you tell us the three pairs so that everyone can open their eyes and see what pairs are worth five hundred?"

two."

Zheng Zuliang said: "This is a couplet at the door, and thieves should not enter." After Zheng Zuliang finished speaking, he paused deliberately and looked around. The people around him all looked like they were racking their brains to figure it out, but they couldn't hold it back.

For a long while, the whole place was still silent.

After a while, Zheng Zuliang said again: "The second couplet in the middle hall is about scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants. How about levying feathers? Everyone has the confidence to come and receive these five hundred taels of rewards, haha."

When the first couplet came out, everyone knelt down, and when the second couplet came out, there was no one left alive. The whole terrace was in mourning. These two couplets were also absolute, and the difficulty was not as difficult as the revolving couplet just now. Not to mention Mr. Lu, the magistrate of Song Dynasty, this is it

Xu Yang, a talented scholar, looked helpless after hearing this.

Zheng Zuliang liked to see everyone's frustrated expressions, and then said: "There is a third pair in the store. I, Zheng, am not talented. I didn't get the first two pairs right, so naturally I have no shame to reveal the third pair.

This third couplet is still hanging at the intersection of Fengshan Road. If you think your skills are passable, you can go ahead and give it a try. Mr. Zheng hopes that the silver reward will be given away as soon as possible!"

"That's all, I can't do anything about these two couplets, and I'm not asking for trouble. It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured. I don't know Mount Tai, and I'm still showing off my little thoughts in front of Mr. Zhang. I really let Mr. Zhang

Just kidding, according to what I see, Mr. Zhang will become famous all over the world sooner or later with these pairs of pairs. Even if he gets Bianliang, he dares to compete with the students all over the world. He doesn't give in too much and stays in this small world of Fengshan. He is a talentless person.

.”

Liang Chuan said with a smile: "Young man is not talented. This is just a byway. If you can't reach the elegant hall, how dare you dare to compete with the world's students? Master Lu is ridiculous."

At this time, Xu Yang has completely become a redundant person. He should have been the protagonist of the night. Even Master Lu invited him to the stage just to let him show off his talents. Who knew that stealing a chicken would end up costing a handful of rice?

, standing awkwardly on the stage became Liang Chuan's embellishment.

Xu Yang was unwilling to be reduced to a foil like this, and said to Mr. Lu: "Master Lu, of course I am good at dealing with pairs, but it is not my greatest ability. Literary men must be good at poetry when talking about superiority. Mr. Liangchuan, you

We are full of knowledge, why don’t we compete in the evening and each recite a poem or compose a lyric, what do you think?”

This Xu Yang is really shameless. In the evening, everyone saw that although his talent was high, it was still slightly inferior to Liang Chuan. He couldn't compare with others, and he actually wanted to find ways to win back a victory for himself.

It's a bit scheming.

Liang Chuan remained calm, with a calm expression on his face, and said to Xu Yang: "Young master Xu, what you said is wrong. Tonight is a great day for the magistrate of Song Dynasty to have fun with the people. How can it be a place for you and me to fight fiercely?

But fighting over words is not a martial arts fight, it is an elegant matter. Since you brought it up, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you like a gentleman and have fun together!"

Xu Yang snorted coldly in his heart, "Well, luckily, I have already thought of a poem, and I am just waiting for the opportunity like today to show off my skills. It would be unlucky for you to meet me, and it will help me achieve my reputation!"

Xu Yang's face cheered up when he thought of this, and he swept away the previous decline. He tinkered with the folding fan in his hand, walked a few steps, and slowly chanted: "The spring breeze is early on the peach branch, and I try out the thin clothes for the first time. It will be a joy every year."

, the lanterns compete with each other, and the moon is full. The flutes and drums are forbidden in the street, and the night is always cold, and the delicate hands are heavy. In the evening, people disperse, thousands of people are laughing, and the sound is in the curtains."

This poem describes the jubilation and joy of the Lantern Festival. It is a blend of stunning scenery and implicit. It not only expresses my own happy feelings but also the joy of the audience in the audience. It blends into the joy of the whole world. The style of the poem

The fun is all top notch!

Today's lantern show was very exciting. First there was singing and dancing, and then there was a competition between two talents from Xinghua. The coming and going was dizzying, and everyone was enjoying watching it.

Shen Yuzhen saw that Xu Yang could compose such a good poem in a short period of time, and couldn't help but look at this person. Zheng Ruoying had a worried look on her face. Liang Chuan would sing some frivolous songs every day.

I haven't seen him reciting poems or lyrics, so I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a loss today.

As soon as the words were completed, Xu Yang looked at Liang Chuan with a wild laugh and said to Liang Chuan: "Master Liang Chuan, it's your turn."

Liang Chuan deliberately pretended to have a solemn face, holding his chin in his hand and thinking for a long time, and then said to Master Lu with a bitter look on his face: "Master Lu, can I ask someone to come on stage to add to the fun?"

"It doesn't matter if you call me Mr. Zhang." Master Lu was also looking forward to it. Judging from his experience, he was quite satisfied with this young man's performance at night. He is young and promising.

"Xin Wubing, how about you and I dance with the sword for fun!" Liang Chuan shouted to Xin Wubing under the stage.

"It's what I asked for!" Xin Wubing watched Liang Chuan's miraculous performance at night and was overwhelmed with admiration. Liang Chuan gave him one surprise after another, one climax after another. He was also a literati himself, and he was filled with admiration in his heart.

Xin Wubing came to the stage with his sword, and slowly pulled the sword out of its scabbard. He was asked to come up and sing, but he didn't know how to dance with a sword. He was a latecomer! In the evening, he was infected by Liang Chuan's performance, and he had long wanted to go on stage to show off his skills.

, it happened that Liang Chuan helped him.

Xin Wubing's swordsmanship is superb, and his dancing is very entertaining. Liang Chuan and others were impressed by Xin Wubing's swordsmanship in Jinzun Restaurant, and were stunned for a while. No one at the scene saw Xin Wubing.

Wu Bing's swordsmanship is even more impressive. In this literate age, it is rare to see such martial arts.

Just when everyone was attracted by Xin Wubing's swordsmanship, Liang Chuan was so immortal that he added one more sentence: "Everyone, please pay attention, this poem I chant may be circulated for a thousand years."

Such a loud tone, everyone including Zheng Zuliang almost choked to death at his words. You should be low-key. Why do you want to be in the limelight so much?

Liang Chuan sauntered on the stage with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and swaying his head in a pretentious manner. He walked twice on the terrace, and then he swayed and said: "The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees down at night, and even more blow them down."

, the stars are like rain. The fragrance of BMWs and carved cars fills the road. The sound of phoenix flutes, the light of jade pots turning, and the dance of fish and dragons all night. Moths and golden wisps of snow willows, laughter filled with dark fragrance. The crowd has searched for him thousands of times, and suddenly looking back, that person

But in...a dimly lit place."

When he recited that famous sentence, Liang Chuan happened to walk to a dimly lit place and pretended to raise his head to look at the bright moon, but his back was a little lonely. No one could see his expression clearly. The swords on the stage were gleaming and the figures were silhouetted.

Xiaochuo, this word and this feeling complement each other even more!
