"Mr. Banqiao is so talented and I admire him." Song Yuhua whispered from behind the screen and said softly like Shuyu: "But if someone from the Buddhist sect asks Mr. Banqiao for a couplet, how should I return him? ?”

"It's easy." Xu Ziling said with a chuckle, "Then return to him this couplet: Left protector, right protector, left protector, left protector. How about it?"

"What if Chenghuang Temple asks?" Song Yuhua insisted on trying to confuse Mr. Banqiao.

Everyone cheered in their hearts and watched the fun quietly.

"Then it's like this: black and white, white and black, black and white, black and white, no black and white." Xu Ziling laughed.

"If you are not a gang, not a sect, not a Confucianist, not a scholar, not a Buddha, not a Taoist, how should you answer the question?" Song Yuhua asked again as if she was determined not to achieve her goal.

"Does this person have land?" Xu Ziling asked back.

"There is a field." Song Yuhua replied.

"Then it's easy to answer him: the harvest is bad, the harvest is bad, the harvest is bad." Xu Ziling said with a smile.

"There is no land for business." Song Yuhua made another condition.

"What business? Is there a scale for business? If so, then it can be like this: buy and sell, see the scale for buying and selling, and see the scale for buying and selling." Xu Ziling laughed again and replied.

Everyone felt that Mr. Banqiao's reaction was too fast, and they couldn't keep up with his words, let alone react.

The old Confucian who recorded it suddenly felt like hitting his head against the wall. Why can't he think of a couplet after reading the sage books for decades?

"How about Wucheng being the owner of the powder shop?" Song Yuhua said as soon as he said this.Everyone felt that it was difficult because men are generally not very familiar with professions such as cosmetics and female celebrities.These are things that women only pay attention to, and it is obviously embarrassing to bring them up here.

But no one would feel sorry for Xu Ziling, and everyone wanted to see what kind of embarrassing Mr. Banqiao was.

"Pink face red face pink face pink face pink." Xu Ziling chuckled and said, "Is it possible to use a girl's pink face as a couplet?"

"This couplet is very good, but if this person is a woman and a matchmaker in the street, can there be a couplet?" Song Yuhua tried every means to make things difficult for Xu Ziling. She didn't believe that a matchmaker, Mr. Banqiao, could match up.

"Men seek a matchmaker, women seek a matchmaker, men and women seek a matchmaker, seek a matchmaker." Xu Ziling laughed.

When everyone heard the couplet, they felt ambiguous.Can't help but look at each other left and right with great joy, and some people even toast the wine to show their satisfaction.

The girls behind the screen also covered their mouths and chuckled, apparently also very interested in this topic.

"Is there any connection between the painter and master?" Song Yuhua asked again, wanting to confuse Xu Ziling.

"This..." Xu Ziling seemed to be stumped by her and cheered up everyone's spirits, but before everyone could be happy, Xu Ziling knocked him down Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Painting the sun and the moon, painting the sun and the moon, painting the sun and the moon. Is it possible?"

"Boatman. Is there a couplet? Wait, Mr. Banqiao, please make another couplet, but the meaning must be the same as before." Song Yuhua simply thought that Xu Ziling had no choice but to think of ways to toss this one, which made people faint. Mr. Banqiao.

"Well..." Xu Ziling took two steps.Said: "The ship carries stones and heavy ships lightly. Is it possible?"

"Master Banqiao, please answer the second line." This time it was Xie Hui's request.

"Don't use my own name as an objection!" Xu Ziling nodded with a faint smile, "Measure the length of the bridge deck with your feet, and measure the length with your short feet."

"Is it okay for Mr. Banqiao to use the foot couplet and then the hand as the topic?" Song Yuhua couldn't help asking again.

"Wash your hands, wash your hands, clean your hands, and clean your hands." Xu Ziling couldn't help laughing when he saw Fang Yimin handing over the wine: "You can stop drinking, but you don't need to drink any more wine. If you drink it, I'll fall to the ground... how about it?" How about telling everyone a little fun for everyone to have fun?"

When everyone heard it, they naturally clapped their hands wildly.

Although it was very refreshing to listen to just now, but I felt guilty after listening too much. Now it would be great if I could change the subject.

"I heard that when Emperor Wendi was alive, there was a Taoist priest who was very good at calculations every day and was very effective." Xu Ziling said with a smile: "So a Confucian scholar asked divination to ask if he could pass the high school imperial examination. The Taoist asked him to write a word. The Confucian scholar wrote the character '口' at will, and the Taoist immediately congratulated him and said: "It must be a high school."

"The Confucian scholar was very happy, so he set off to take part in the imperial examination, and the result was really selected by Emperor Wen." Xu Ziling smiled again: "Later, it was reported that there was another military general who was slandered and collaborating with the enemy. He wrote a character, but the military general decided on the character '口'. The Taoist congratulated him after seeing it and said: I promise you will have a prosperous official career."

"The military general was greatly comforted and went to see Emperor Wen, and he found out the cause and effect of the incident. Emperor Wen not only spared him the crime of being slandered, but also promoted him to three ranks." Xu Ziling saw that everyone was listening to the myth, and Feng turned around: "It's another day For a while, things spread more widely, and another Confucian scholar came to ask Qiancheng. He thought that if the two disciples wrote a word "口" each, they would win or be promoted to the third level. When the Taoist priest asked him to write, he wrote two characters of '口' in a row."

"In the end, did he get elected again?" Zheng Shuming asked tacitly with a smile.

"No." Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "The Taoist priest told him that not only would he not be promoted, but he would also suffer from serious illness."

Everyone was amazed when they heard it.

Why did the two people write the word "口" together before, not only nothing happened, but high school or promotion and the latter is so far related?

"Why?" Zheng Shuming asked in cooperation.

"That Taoist said this: The Confucian scholar wrote the character '口' unintentionally before, so he came alone to ask the hexagram and became a '中' character, so he can pass the high school imperial examination." Xu Ziling said with a faint smile.

"That general came here with a request. Then he did it on purpose?" Zheng Shuming asked in cooperation.

"It's a deliberate move towards that general, so the word 'loyalty' is formed by 'zhong' and 'heart'. Since he is accused of slandering and collaborating with the enemy, it cannot be established. So how can the wise Emperor Wen punish him? Sin? How could he not be promoted to the official position of this loyal subject?" Xu Ziling explained with a smile.

"Then why is it that the third Confucian scholar who wrote the word '口' twice will suffer a serious illness?" Zheng Shuming asked again.

"The third Confucian scholar wrote two characters of 'kou' in succession, combined with himself, to form a character of 'string'. Adding his deliberate act of 'heart', the result would be a character of 'suffering'. It's no wonder he's not seriously ill!" Xu Ziling said with a chuckle.

After hearing this, everyone looked at the old Confucian writing clearly on the white paper and couldn't help but slapped their palms.

"The story of Mr. Banqiao is quite mysterious. Now that you explain the magic of Taoism, why don't you talk about Buddhism?" A person who looks like a layman practicing outside the temple stood up and saluted Xie Hui and Fan Zhuo.Then he cupped his hands to Xu Ziling and said, "Buddhism is as extensive and profound as Taoism. Can Mr. Xu spread the story of Buddhism to the world so that we can enlighten the foolish people?"

"Of course there are some, I'm afraid it's different from this brother's imagination." Xu Ziling chuckled and thought to himself that if he didn't hit the Buddhist family lightly at this time, he would miss the opportunity.He took two steps from the hall and said with a smile: "Let's tell another story similar to the one just now. An old monk and a young novice practiced in a small temple. The old monk is very famous. Many people also came to ask him about his future. No matter who came. The old monks all held out a finger and then kept silent. But he is so effective that it is amazing."

"Supernatural power, this is supernatural power!" the layman said ecstatically, he almost danced with joy when he heard it.

"One day, three Confucian scholars came to ask who would be on the list of high school imperial examinations." Xu Ziling stretched out a finger and said, "The old monk stretched out one finger and said:" The old monk stretched out one finger and let the three leave.As a result, there was a person in high school who prepared a generous gift to thank the little novice, who admired him very much.So he asked the old monk, "Master, does he know that he will win the lift, so he pointed at him? The old monk shook his head and said: I don't know."

When everyone heard that there was another turning point, they couldn't help listening with bated breath.

"Little novice Daqi asked: Master somehow stretched out a finger to indicate that one person won the election?" Xu Ziling said: "The old monk laughed when he heard this, and said: One finger is simple because everything in the world is related to 'one' It’s because the three of them are in ‘one’ no matter who they are, so I can guess their future with just a finger.”

"Fatty An doesn't quite understand, can Mr. Banqiao explain more clearly?" An Long seemed to realize a little bit of mystery but couldn't understand it for a while and asked anxiously.

"The little novice asked Daqi at that time: There are three of them, how can they guess with one finger? What if the three of them all passed the imperial examination? Wouldn't it be wrong for the master to stretch out one finger?" Xu Ziling smiled slightly: "That old man The monk replied: "All three people get in, that's one" and how can they fail in high school? The little novice asked again: "What if two people get in?" The old monk smiled and said: "Then it's "one" who didn't get in. The little novice asked again : What if none of the three hit? The old monk laughed and said: That means 'one' lost together! So no matter whether they are one, two, three, or all miss, let this finger tell It’s not about the bravery of the Dharma, it’s just the clever use of numbers.”

Everyone roared with laughter, and the Buddhist layman suddenly choked and couldn't speak.

"After listening to Mr. Banqiao's short story, can I tell you a story about our women?" Song Yuhua offered a condition: "If it is satirizing our women, you can avoid it, Mr. Banqiao. Can you let all the women in our hall do the same?" To be decent in front of people?"

"Of course." Xu Ziling laughed loudly, drank two cups and said loudly: "Born with yin and yang, men and women are born without men and solitary yin does not grow; if women are lacking, solitary yang does not grow. How can we lose one of them. Now that we have said that there are two schools of Buddhism and Taoism Let’s tell a little story about a girl too!”

Telling the story of a girl, how can everyone not like it? Everyone's eyes are so bright that they are afraid that they will miss one of them.

Even many famous experts are quite curious.

"It is said that there is a pair of good friends, one who is good at literature and the other who is good at martial arts. They met a young girl who was pure and smart while walking on a rural road." Xu Ziling said vividly: "The two of them immediately thought about it when they saw each other. Showing some ability in front of the little beauty made her fall in love with herself so that she could marry this soft and delicate little beauty back home."

"Men are such virtues." Zheng Shuming snorted in time.

But it made everyone laugh and understand.

After laughing, I couldn't help looking forward to the story of Xu Ziling, a little beauty.
