Scholars unparalleled

Lin Huairen was happy at this moment, and he held a food box and beckoned everyone to sit aside, as if he didn't like them at all.

All the talents in Zhiyu County twitched their mouths when they heard this, and looked at the upper couplet on the wooden sign with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Originally, in their opinion, this Shanglian should not be so difficult, but how would they know, after reading it now, they know how difficult this Shanglian is.

It may not take a while to get a neat alignment.

Wang Dailing has always felt that she has a keen mind, but now after seeing this Shanglian, she felt that her head was about to turn into a paste.

Lin Huairen and the others sat aside to watch the play.

They were also very distressed when they saw such a Shanglian before.

But seeing this group of outsiders being stumped at this moment, I felt inexplicably joyful in my heart, and severely suppressed the arrogance of Song Xunze and others.

But this is just the beginning, they won't be able to tell each other until sunset, there are plenty of words that can entertain them.

"Brother Lin, I'm thirsty after eating these cakes, why is there no tea?"

The fellow scholars also sat down happily at the moment, looking at the frowning faces of the scholars from outside, as if they were looking at the students who were waiting for the exam.

"I'm here. Although Lu Xiucai refused the door, tea will still be served later. Just wait."

Lin Huairen said something immediately when he heard the words.

This scholar obviously came here for the first time, so he naturally didn't know that every time they came, tea would be delivered as long as they waited for a while.

Although he didn't like these scholars very much, Lu Chensheng couldn't be picky about his hospitality.

No matter what, Lu Chensheng would not be stingy with this little tea.

Hearing this, the scholar was slightly relieved.

But at this moment, in Taohuawu, Lu Chensheng was still watering the vegetable field, and Qiong Yue leaned over to help.

Looking from a distance, I feel that this is full of the leisurely life of a farmer.

"My lord, here comes the scholar again, and it's time for a couplet."

Chu Wu walked to Lu Chensheng's side and said something softly.

Lu Chensheng raised his brows slightly, "It's been a few days, why are you still here? Why are they here because they are sorry? If you want to crack it, stay in the city and think carefully about the next couplet, wouldn't it be better?"

"It seems that this time, there are some scholars from outside, and the scholars in Fufeng City are all watching the play."

These days, Chuwu still recognizes some local scholars, and some face-to-face students look like they are from other places.

Scholars from other places also came to join in the fun?

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng shook his head unconsciously.

"Forget it, go make some tea and send it to them. Since people have come to the door, you should make some tea for them anyway."

"understood."

Chu Wu nodded quickly when he heard this, went back to the house to make tea, and delivered tea to the scholars with a tea set on a wooden tray.

"Why does my husband treat those people like this? Those people have impure thoughts, and they all want to step on my husband so that they can make themselves famous."

Lu Chensheng continued to pour water, without a trace of anger on his face, "Although the motives are a little impure, but right now they are guests, we still need to have the way of hospitality. We, who are known as the state of etiquette, don't need etiquette. Can fall incompletely."

The state of etiquette?

Jiang Guo seems to have never heard of such a title?

Qiong Yue looked at Lu Chensheng at the side, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, but after thinking about it, her husband would not deceive herself about this matter.

Come to think of it, my husband is a person who knows etiquette very well. It is said that a gentleman is modest and polite. I think my husband is this kind of person!

Thinking of this, Qiong Yue unconsciously showed a smile on the corner of her mouth.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, the tea set was delivered to the talented scholars, and the charcoal stove was also put down by the way.

"If you think the tea is cold, you can heat it yourself."

After finishing speaking on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he turned and left.

Lin Huairen quickly got up to thank you, "Please go back, miss, and thank your young master for me."

"Also thank Mr. Lu for me."

All the talents in Fufeng City hurriedly stood up and said.

The host specially brought tea, no matter how the other party did all the courtesy, they couldn't lose their identities.

Everyone in Zhiyu County looked at the tea in front of them, and watched what the talented people in Fufeng City were doing, and quickly echoed.

If you don't even say thank you, not to mention whether it's right or not, their reputation will be completely ruined later.

After Chuwu nodded, he got up and went back.

After a while, he returned to Lu Chensheng's side, and said softly about everyone's thanks.

"Let Lao Zhou and the others build a gazebo there some other day."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, and then said something.

I am afraid that more and more scholars will come here in the future, and they will have a place to stay if they build a pavilion, otherwise it would be a bit shabby to see them sitting on the big rock beside them every day.

When the gazebo is built, it will look good to outsiders when they see it, and it can also reflect the generosity of the son.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he immediately understood what Lu Chensheng meant, and wrote down the matter, planning to go back and talk to Lao Zhou.

After pouring the ground, Lu Chensheng stretched slightly, seeing that it was still early to go into the house to write a book, as for the foreign scholars who just came outside, Lu Chensheng didn't even think about meeting them.

Lu Chensheng wouldn't meet them until the couplet came out. Even if they got a match, there are still other couples waiting for them.

Chapter 66 Getting Better

The sun was gradually setting, and the originally gentle wind brought a bit of coolness.

"Everyone, is there any answer to this couplet? If everyone is right, I might be able to get a meal if I wait in with the character of the owner of this room. If not, then go back for now. We can wait Don't want to spend the night outside the city."

Lin Huairen looked at the setting sun and felt that it was almost time, so he patted his clothes and got up to ask.

All the talents from Zhiyu County looked at each other immediately after hearing such words, and they all saw that each other's faces were not very good-looking.

"How about it, do you have a link?"

Sister Li Zhi glanced at the few people on the side, and then asked in a deep voice.

Several people looked at each other, then smiled wryly and shook their heads. Coming here to see such absoluteness in a hurry, it is really too difficult to come up with a second line for a while.

"Forget it, let's go back first."

Seeing this, Wang Dailing felt helpless, sorry they couldn't just stay here, Fufeng City will be closed for a while, and they will have to spend the night outside.

"It seems that everyone's previous pride is just conceited now, and you still can't make up for this couplet."

Seeing a group of people preparing to go back, Scholar Dai Guan immediately laughed, his voice full of complacency.

"Before seeing your self-confidence, I really thought that you could come up with this couplet. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

Seeing that the other party didn't say this couplet to each other, everyone looked at each other and burst out laughing, feeling inexplicably much better at the moment.

It's not their fault, who made these people come here with their proud nostrils turned upside down?

Just such actions can make them have countless resentments in their hearts.

Seeing that they were defeated at this moment, naturally they would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule.

Song Xunze couldn't hold back when he heard the sarcasm.

Glancing at the person in front of him, he said with a cold face, "Aren't you also not correct, making fun of me with this, isn't it just a fifty-step laugh at a hundred steps?"

Lin Huairen waved his hands immediately when he heard the words, "No, this Lu Chensheng is a scholar from my Fufeng City, but he is also from our Fufeng City. The meaning is different. After all, it is my Fufeng City." Your talents have surpassed yours."

Song Xunze's face froze when he heard these words, and he only thought that as long as he made this couplet, he could use this to laugh at the people in Fufeng City.

Who would have thought that going around here and there, on the contrary, involved me in it.

Thinking of this, his face became a bit ugly.

"Hmph, it's just that we didn't match up all of a sudden. It won't be so until tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Song Xunze turned around and took the people away without staying any longer.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huairen smiled and said loudly, "So, Lin will be waiting for Brother Song tomorrow!"

waiting?

Obviously just waiting to see a joke.

Song Xunze paused slightly, then strode away.

After Lin Huairen and his group looked at each other, they all smiled and left together.

After all these people left, Chu Wu came slowly and took away the tea sets one by one.

Looking at the direction in which these scholars left, Chu Wu slightly shook his head, not knowing how long these guys would continue to entangle here.

Obviously I can't match this couplet, so can't I give up?

It is also fortunate that the young master used this trick, otherwise, with these scholars being so stubborn, I am afraid that if the young master wins the competition once, he will come again.

Chu Wu shook his head, turned and went back.

...

Lu Chensheng didn't pay attention to the talented people who gradually appeared in Fufeng City, and he was still watering the vegetable fields and planting some peach trees every day.

The river outside slowly rose a lot, and a boat gradually began to take a rough shape.

Small pavilions on the side of the road have also begun to be built.

The small pavilion has been built, but there are more and more scholars who come here, and each of them seems to be extremely dissatisfied with their own inability to write this second couplet.

Every now and then, I would go to the small pavilion to see this couplet once in a while.

Occasionally, I can see a few talented women, and they also come here to join in the fun.

In the palace, Jiang Huang was still approving the memorial when he suddenly frowned slightly.

What was placed in front of him was the notebook submitted by Lin Gu.

Seeing that it was Lin Gu's name, Jiang Huang cheered up a little.

Lin Gu was sent by him to control the flood, and the booklet sent at this moment must have something about this aspect.

Looking at the contents of the booklet one by one, the expression on Jiang Huang's face became more and more satisfied, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Good! Good!"

Jiang Huang looked at it for a moment, his face was already full of smiles.

"What makes the emperor happy?"

Seeing this, the personal eunuch asked a little puzzled.

"This Lin Gu is really an expert in water control. According to what he said, the Yunjiang River has already achieved some preliminary results. Even if there will be floods this year, he can control one or two of them."

Lin Gu is not very good at exaggerating his words, Jiang Huang still knows it very well.

Therefore, seeing the contents of this notebook at this moment, a smile is already on his face.

When the personal eunuch heard the words, he quickly shouted, "It's thanks to the emperor's good training and good use of talents to calm this flood!"

Hearing this, Jiang Huang looked at the eunuch beside him with a look of dumbfounding, "You are very good at talking."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and put the book aside, suddenly his expression changed slightly.

"By the way, what happened to Lu Chensheng from Fufeng City?"

He almost forgot about Lu Chensheng in his daily affairs, but after seeing Lin Gu's notes, he remembered Lu Chensheng.

After all, when Lin Gu had an audience last time, he mentioned Lu Chensheng incidentally.

Lin Gu didn't mention Lu Chensheng this time, but it didn't prevent Jiang Huang from suddenly thinking of Lu Chensheng.

"I heard that he is still staying in Taohuawu outside Fufeng City."

Hearing the words, the guard eunuch at the side came out quickly and replied in a low voice.

Jiang Huang frowned slightly when he heard the words, "Why, can't there be no talented scholar to compete with Lu Chensheng?"
