For people, the things that are most difficult to own are often what they want to have the most. Liang Xin, who stayed in the palace all day long, finally found an excuse to leave the palace, so he was so excited. In Yipin Hall, Liang Xin specially found a master who was good at disguise to carefully make a thin human skin mask with various materials. When Liang Xin wore it on such a mask, the young master Pianpian Jia immediately turned into a somewhat vicious and reckless man.

With a big knife around his waist, a wine pot in his hand, and an ordinary red horse riding an ordinary red horse, Liang Xin set out from Yuecheng to Jiangnan. From Yuecheng to Xiping Prefecture, then into the northwest border, walked through the northwest border, then passed Qingzhou and turned to Weizhou, and walked all the way from Weizhou to Fengxiang Prefecture. When he arrived at Fengxiang Prefecture, the sky was gradually dimming.

Liang Xin walked in by the way. The inn was quite lively. There were only eight or nine tables in the hall, but now there were five or six people sitting. Three of them were dressed like Confucian scholars, while the other ones looked like people from the world.

Liang Xin casually found a table to sit down. The waiter immediately ran over and poured a cup of tea for Liang Xin and asked, "Inn, are you going to play the top or stay in a hotel?"

Liang Xin took out a ingot of silver from his arms and threw it on the table, "Prepare some good wine and food, and then give me another room."

"Go to the room?" The waiter said "Oh", "Unfortunately, the guest official, the room in the shop has been completed today. I still have a room to get off. Do you think you can just put it in a moment?"

Liang Xin looked around and waved his hand: "It's easy, just go down the room. Whether it's a jade bed or a wooden board or a piece of wooden board, he slept just like a piece of loess after his death, and there's no difference."

"Good words!" A Confucian scholar shouted, and Liang Xin turned to look over. Liang Xin's somewhat vicious appearance obviously made him feel a little scared. After calming his mind, the Confucian scholar said, "I'm going to ask the hero for his surname and name?"

Liang Xin smiled and clasped his fists and returned a bow, but his smile seemed a little stiff due to the human skin mask. "I can't help but ask the guy, it seems you are going to go far, where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm going to go to Daliang. The Song Dynasty is now divided and has not opened an Enke for several years. We have been studying hard for many years. We wanted to use our knowledge to serve our family and country, but now we have no way to serve, so we are going to Daliang to make a fortune. The hero may not know that this Daliang is a new country that my Song Dynasty, King Liang and Prince Liang, and Prince Liang is a talented person of my Song Dynasty, and he must pay more attention to talents than other places. Moreover, Daliang has now announced that it will open the first Enke, so we want to go over and take a look."

"So that's the case, I wish you good luck." Liang Xin smiled slightly, feeling a little happy for Kang Xueli's praise. He secretly wrote down this name, and if he could be promoted when he returned to the court later, he would be promoted.

But just as Liang Xin finished speaking, Kang Xueli had no time to thank him, another voice said disdainfully: "Liang Xin is a greedy person, lustful person, seeking fame and reputation. I really don't understand why you think he is good."

The voice was on the second floor. Liang Xin looked up and saw that the person who said this was a man in a gray cloth. The man's skin was a little dark, and one of his eyes was covered with a black cloth, which seemed to be blind. The other eye exposed outside was very lively and bright, and looked very beautiful. There was an old man sitting next to the man in gray. The old man wore a Confucian hat with a Confucian scholar on his face and a white beard about the length of an adult's middle finger. He looked a bit superior.

Kang Xueli looked at the second floor and bowed to the man with gray cloth and said dissatisfiedly: "I wonder if this brother is not a Song Dynasty person, otherwise why would he slander Prince Liang like this? Prince Liang has been loyal and righteous all his life and loves the people as much as his son. How could he be as greedy as Brother Tai said, "

"Haha, I'm still paying his revenge?" said the man in gray: "Liang Xin was originally a palace eunuch, but in the end he took several wives and concubines. What is this not lust? Moreover, his Western Factory made money everywhere, and he competed for profit with the people in Jiangnan. Isn't this greed for money? And he also murdered the monarch but claimed to be loyal and righteous. What is this not seeking fame and reputation?"

"All nonsense!" Kang Xueli said righteously: "Although Prince Liang was born in the palace, he was given a jade because of an adventure. The rebirth of the stem is a sign of a genius from heaven. How can ordinary people like you measure it at will? In addition, although he has several beautiful wives and beautiful wives, let me ask you a young and handsome man like Prince Liang who is both civil and military. Who doesn't love this girl in this world? He has only a few wives and concubines, and he is already considered to be lustful?

As for you, Prince Liang killed the king, it has been proved later that it was not done by Prince Liang. Instead, Prince Ding Zhao Wei was seriously suspicious. In other words, what happened back then was probably because Prince Ding blamed Prince Liang. However, Prince Liang never cared about this matter. When Prince Ding died of illness, Prince Liang went to help Princess Mingyue turn the tide and keep Bianjing. I wonder if it was a brother who could do it?”

"You..." Kang Xueli refuted the man in gray one by one, and the man in gray immediately concluded.

After hearing Kang Xueli's words, Liang Xin couldn't help but feel that he was so good and excellent. He looked at Kang Xueli for a few more times and secretly remembered him in his heart. Such a little fan of his own went to Daliang, and his host has the responsibility and obligation to take care of him.

After remembering Kang Xueli's appearance, Liang Xin looked at the man in gray again. For some reason, the man in gray always made Liang Xin feel a little familiar, but Liang Xin was very sure that he had never seen him.

When he was worried, the man in gray spoke again: "You are probably the same as Liang Xin, and they are all people who seek fame. Since you are all scholars, we can compete with you if you have the ability to do it to see if you so-called study is a fool. If you lose, you yell three times, 'Liang Xin is a bastard'. If I lose, I will say to you three times, 'Brother, I said it wrong, you are right.' How about it?"

Kang Xueli looked back at his three companions, saying that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Since they have already issued a war letter, they must not be afraid to fight. So Kang Xueli’s three companions nodded together, and Kang Xueli immediately replied: "Okay, let's compare."

"Okay! Let's compete with three examples, the first is to compare the couplet. We each produce one first couplet, so that the other party can compete with the lower couplet. The opposite one wins, and the opposite one loses. The second is to compare poetry. We each produce one question for the other party to write poetry or lyrics, and compare the quality of poetry. The third is, we compare calligraphy. The better one wins, and the worse one loses?"

The man in gray seemed to be very accustomed to competing with others for literary talent, so he spoke clearly about the competition items and rules. Kang Xueli had no objection after listening to it. Instead, the competition among literati was nothing more than comparison. He nodded: "Okay, just follow what brother said. Brother Tai should give the question first."

The man in gray was not polite, and said with his hands behind his back, "Please look at the first couplet." The man in gray jumped off the second floor, then he picked up a bowl and smashed it, holding pieces in his hand and writing a row of words.

The move shown by the man in gray shocked Liang Xin slightly, and he said in his heart: "What a handsome light skill, this man is a master."

While speaking, the man in gray had already written the first couplet on the table, which read: "The sea water falls every day."

Seeing this couplet, Kang Xueli was stunned. How to match this couplet? What does the sea water fall from time to time? What does this sentence mean? Kang Xueli looked at it for a long time and raised his head to the man in gray and said, "You are not a couplet at all, you don't even have the meaning, and the sentences are even more incomprehensible."

The man in gray glanced at Kang Xueli and said two words with disdain: "Idiot!"

Liang Xin stretched out his neck and looked at the first couplet. He suddenly raised his hand and said, "I'll try it, I'll support Prince Liang too." Liang Xin said with a Shanxi accent.

Kang Xueli looked at Liang Xin and asked in disbelief: "Hero, do you have a second couplet? This is no joke."

"Young man, don't worry." Liang Xin walked over and picked up a piece of porcelain piece. His elbow moved, and a lower couplet appeared immediately next to the top of the man in gray. It was not in line with the elegant and elegant words of the man in gray. Liang Xin's words seemed even more majestic and powerful.

Kang Xueli looked at Liang Xin's second couplet, and he counted first, and said that there were as many words as um. Then he looked at the content: "Floating clouds are long and long and long and long?" Kang Xueli was stunned. Can this be the current couplet?

Liang Xin looked at the man in gray and asked, "How? Is this second couplet still useful?"

The man in gray had a slight eye lit up. She raised her head and looked at Liang Xin seriously, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can write another first couplet."

"This... are these two couplets?" Kang Xueli couldn't help asking Liang Xin and the man in gray.

Liang Xin shook his head in his heart, thinking that even if Kang Xueli passed the imperial examination, he would have to train in Daliang for another two years. However, in view of his continued protection of himself, Liang Xin still patiently explained: "Young man, why haven't you turned around? The first couplet of this brother is 'Sea tide, tide, tide and tide.', and the couplet I dripped is 'Floating clouds rise, tide, tide and tide, tide and tide.'"

This is actually a flexibly used upper and lower couplet. Although the conception is exquisite, once the mystery of each word is revealed, there is nothing great. Kang Xueli immediately understood when he heard this. He patted and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"

Liang Xin smiled and ignored him. He turned to the man in gray and said, "Brother, I'm out the first couplet, you should be careful."

It still has a Shanxi accent, with a strong taste and authentic accent. Even the smile seems to have the unique cunning of Shanxi people.
