Chapter 87 Slap the face with the eternal absolute

In such an occasion, since you decide to slap in the face, of course you have to pretend to behave.

I saw Yang Fan standing up, covering his hands behind him, and strolling and thinking like a literati.

He walked around the elegant seat in a slight stroll, as if he was muttering to himself, and as if he was explaining when everyone was waiting a little impatiently.

Couplets are commonly known as pairs, abbreviated as pairs, and couplets. The first part is called the upper couplet, also called the upper branch, the upper bi, the sentence is called the opposite couplet, the first part is called the lower couplet, also called the lower branch, the lower bi, the second part is called the opposite branch, the second part is called the opposite branch, the second part is called the opposite mother, the opposite end, and the upper and lower sentences are collectively called the same couplet.

It is a dual sentence with independent meaning, focusing on using dual sentences from word count, sentence pattern, content, to level and tone, rhythm, etc.

Couplets are taken from life and are higher than life. After all, they have been processed and tempered by human culture and art.

Today is a competition with Mr. Lang. Mr. Xu, as a young talented man with a good knowledge, will not show off his skills and couplets from the Four Books and Five Classics. Let’s take the materials locally!

Seeing Yang Fan showing off, everyone cursed in their hearts:

"I'm afraid I haven't even read the Four Books and Five Classics, so I don't dare to write the first couplet from the classics."

But of course they wouldn't make any mockery, after all, they were afraid that Yang Fan would run away and there would be no good show.

Li Zhi, Little Shizi, Xiao Douding and other little brats saw their brother (father) as an expert, and their eyes were full of admiration (gaga, after all, there was a little white rabbit milk candy to beat him in the front).

But Wu Meiniang and others couldn't help but smile on their faces. Sometimes their husband (brothers) were too good at teasing and too inappropriate. She knew that whenever her husband was like this, someone would be miserable.

But when Xu Zhang and Xu Jingzong heard Yang Fan's words, they were full of joy and looked excited.

If Yang Fan finds some quatrains from the anonymous book of ancient books, they will definitely be in a dilemma.

This kangmao actually wanted to learn from the materials on the spot. Isn’t this asking for abuse? I was immediately overjoyed. However, Kong Yingda’s judgment was still calm without any sorrow or joy.

The elegant tower of the Moon Watching Tower, beside the riverside, you can clearly see the scenery outside.

It was almost lunch, and the smoke from steaming rice and cooking firewood was floating around, mixed between the willow trees. The breeze blew up and down, with a hint of hazy feeling.

Yang Fanyao pointed his hand and said to a small pond not far from the riverside: "Smoke locks the willows in the pond!"

Everyone stood up one after another. Seeing this scene, an idea arose in everyone's hearts. This couplet is so neat and very suitable.

But then he thought that the first couplet with only five words should be very good. He looked around and wanted to find the second couplet that could meet the situation.

However, most people looked around but couldn't find a picture that suited the situation. They lamented and couldn't help but look at Xu Zhang.

Xu Jingzong thought about it and was a little worried.

Kong Yingda pondered for a while, and shook his head for a while. Yang Fan knew that he obviously saw the mystery of the couplet, but he did not match it.

At this time, Xu Zhang was also a little blind, scratched his head and was upset, and his eyes couldn't help but return to the pond. When he saw the lotus flowers in the pond, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he looked confident.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, could Xu Zhang be able to match the second couplet so quickly? He is indeed one of the leaders of young talents in Chang'an.

Of course, as the saying goes, literati are disrespectful to each other, and there are also people who don’t believe it.

Of course, the one who doubts is a talented man who is not much different from Xu Zhang's talent.

And those who believe Xu Zhang can write the second couplet are of course some of his relatives and friends and people who understand his talents.

Seeing Xu Zhang's expression, Wu Meiniang and others became a little nervous again. Perhaps they were concerned, and they didn't notice that Yang Fan still looked relaxed and freehand.

This is not because Yang Fan does not believe in the wisdom of the ancients, but because the couplet he published is absolutely perfect for the ages. Besides, he just added difficulty before these couplets, that is - the situation.

Therefore, he did not believe that anyone could write the second couplet that suited the situation in such a short time.

I think even if Xu Zhang had the second couplet, he would only get a suitable situation at most, so he should not notice the trap buried in this couplet.

Sure enough, Xu Zhang's head was high and he shouted proudly: "Sow lotus under the willows..."

Then he pretended to be swaying and clasped his fists to thank Yang Fan, "I have to thank Bo Zhongyi for his finger just now. This second couplet is also taken from the lotus pond."

After saying that, he ignored Yang Fan and waited for everyone's praise with a arrogant look on his face.

Some talents who saw Yang Fan’s couplet trap looked sarcastic, but more were those who couldn’t see the couplet trap.

When they heard Xu Zhang neatly, they answered the second couplet according to the situation and couldn't help but applaud.

Xu Zhang, who was immersed in the praises of everyone but felt good about himself, did not notice that many people looked at him with mockery.

Enjoying the cheers and praises of the crowd, Xu Zhang was free and relaxed, bowed to Kong Yingda with a gentleman look on his face and said, "The student couplet has been spoken, please give a judgment."

Seeing that his son had not reacted yet, Xu Jingzong sighed secretly and looked at Yang Fan with a complicated look.

This is a kid who is full of bad water. It seems that he has underestimated him.

However, Kong Yingda shook her head secretly, feeling a little disappointed with this young talent he once looked forward to.

Xu Zhang had talent and knowledge, but he was too arrogant. He thought the other party was just a stick that everyone praised in Chang'an, so he relaxed his vigilance.

I think that with his talent and wit, although he may not be able to match the situation, he will not be unable to see the trap of this first couplet.

Don’t you know that the lion is trying his best to fight a rabbit? What’s more, people!

As a judge, Kong Yingda still had to make a judgment. He took a breath and said, "Mr. Xu's second couplet is correct in terms of neatness, rhythm and situation... But I judged that Mr. Xu lost in this game, please continue to draw the questions."

When Xu Zhang heard the first half of Kong Yingda's sentence, he thought he would win, but after hearing that he was sentenced to lose, he looked unbelievable.

Then he roared as if he was crazy: "Did you say the wrong thing? How could you judge someone to lose?"

Many people even followed the trend and expressed their dissatisfaction.

Originally, Kong Yingda wanted to leave some face for Xu Jingzong, but now he was very upset when he saw Xu Zhang so disobediently.

How dare you question my husband's justice?

Without any scruples in his heart, he asked, "Didn't you see the rules of the first couplet of Bo Zhongyi?"

Xu Zhang's mind is not stupid. He can be said to be the smartest group of people. When he heard Kong Yingda's words, he knew that he might have missed something. He quickly put Yang Fan's first couplet in his mind and thought about it repeatedly.

After a while, Xu Zhang's face turned pale, as if he had lost his soul, and kept muttering to himself: "'Smoke locks the willows in the pond', the words in the first couplet not only meet the situation, but also contain the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, etc. Such an eternal absolute, how could anyone make it in an instant?"

No matter how he spent his brains, it was impossible to come up with a good second couplet. A quarter of an hour passed, Kong Yingda said impatiently: "Mr. Xu is still unwilling to accept my husband's verdict?"

Of course, Xu Zhang didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only say with embarrassment: "I just now, because of the student's negligence, I was a little rude to the teacher. Please don't be surprised by Mr. Kong."

The melon-eating crowd who had just followed the trend also secretly wiped the sweat on their foreheads. Fortunately, they just whispered and did not stand up to refute Kong Yingda.

Xu Zhang said lightly that he had just said that he was like a mad dog. Although Kong Yingda was a little dissatisfied, he just snorted unhappily and then said, "Please continue to draw the questions..."

Yang Fancai ignored Xu Zhang's embarrassing appearance. As soon as he finished speaking, he continued: "Although this building is called Wangyue Tower, it is next to the building, and you can see the banks of the Weishui River at a glance. The rivers are integrated and the scenery is beautiful. Talented men come from all directions. Some talents need to return to their mansion at dusk, so they need to cross the river. Two of the lower couplets of a certain scene are born."

"Looking at the river tower, looking at the river tower, looking at the river tower, looking at the river tower, the river tower forever, the river flows forever!"

"Crossing dusk at dusk at dusk at dusk!"

As soon as these two couplets appeared, the scene suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and felt like they were in a dream.

Some people even pinched their thighs secretly, and then they realized that they were not dreaming. This was a bit too fantastic!
