Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"I drank it too."

"Who can be right? Drink all the wrong ones!"

Wei Xian asked a question, but saw that everyone raised their wine glasses and drank it all in one gulp, their complexions darkened a little, couldn't anyone agree?

Seeing Zhang Dun looking at him, Wei Xian gritted his teeth and drank all the wine in the glass.

Du Zhong said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhang, please make another pair."

Zhang Dun said indifferently: "The eight great kings of pipa and qinse, the king is on top!"

"..."

There was no sound again.

Chapter 108 I Didn’t Make It Hard For You, Don’t Make It Hard For The Old Man

Chu Suiliang looked at Zhang Dun with a solemn expression. He was very surprised by the first couplet he published just now. He didn't expect that Zhang Dun still had it!

The key to this link is even more difficult!Every character has two kings. If you want to match the second couplet, it is the same as the first couplet. This is not absolutely what it is!

"Can you figure it out?"

"sorry."

"Neither can I."

"Drink this glass of wine!"

More than a dozen children from rich families were frowning, and after thinking for a long time, they couldn't come up with a second line. They talked in a low voice, hoping to get some inspiration from the other party, but the other party couldn't!

In the end, Du Zhong, Wei Xian and others had no choice but to pick up the wine glasses and drank the newly filled Erguotou in one gulp.

Du Zhong's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhang, please ask me another question!"

Zhang Dun said casually: "Yan Suo Pond Willow."

"That's right—"

A kid from a rich family heard only five words, and said subconsciously, but his tone froze before he finished speaking.

The kid from the rich family sitting next to him turned ugly, right?That's right!

Although there are few words, these five words imply a deep meaning!

Yansuo pond willow contains five elements!

It's even harder than the above!

"I'll drink!" A boy from a rich family held up his glass again helplessly, and the others also frowned and drank.

After three glasses of wine, everyone felt their heads were about to split open. Why is this wine so strong!

In the past poetry grand gatherings, expensive drinks were used, but they didn't taste like Erguotou's spicy voice!

It's fine if it's a small glass, but just now, in order to drink Zhang Dun to death, he obeyed Zhang Dun's words and changed the wine glass to a larger one.

Now, lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot!

It was even more so for those women, each of whom drank totteringly, blushing and trying not to fall down.

Zhang Dun looked at them with a smile, Erguotou, is that what you drink?

I can't drink you to death!

Zhang Dun leisurely sipped his wine, pouted his mouth, and looked at Du Zhong with an uncertain expression.

When Du Zhong asked him to be an officer, he felt something was wrong.

He couldn't hide his fox tail anymore.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that these scholars would gang up to kill them today.

However, it was Zhang Dun they met!

Too many people are useless.

Can couplets be solved by many people?

Moreover, there are many couplets in his mind, each of which is a famous couple that has been handed down through the ages.

If the lower couplet is removed and only the upper couplet is left, it is absolute!

Zhang Dun asked: "Everyone, do you want to continue?"

"continue!"

Everyone gritted their teeth. They drank three cups, but Zhang Dun didn't touch a cup. How could he swallow this breath!

"can."

Zhang Dun smiled, raised his palms to face them, and said, "I'll make five more pairs. If you can answer one, one counts as one. I'll drink all the wine in these jars."

"If you can't answer, how about drinking five cups each?"

Hearing this, Du Zhong frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are too conceited."

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "Without this strength, how dare I?"

Du Zhong looked at the other children from the rich family, saw them all gritted their teeth and nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, please come out!"

Zhang Dun said softly:

"The first couplet: draw a painting of a lotus flower and a monk!"

"Second Shanglian: Lonely cold window empty widow."

"The third couplet: Swimming in the West Lake, carrying the tin pot, dropping the tin pot into the West Lake, pity on the tin lake."

"The fourth upper couplet: Smoke along the Yanyan Yan Yanyan."

"The fifth couplet: Miss Qiao is naturally delicate, and she hates rouge and glue on her face."

Zhang Dun spread his hands, looked at the sluggish expressions of everyone, and said: "Everyone, let's read the next couplet."

More than a dozen children from rich families lowered their heads one after another. For a long time, no one dared to raise their heads, and their hearts trembled in fear.

To the second line?How is this right? !

The first couplet can be read both forward and backward, and they all have the same sound. How difficult it is to match the second couplet!

The second upper couplet is similar to the Eight Great Kings, and it is even more difficult!

The third couplet is easier than the first two, but more than a dozen rich kids smiled wryly and found out, sorry!

The fourth upper couplet, with homonyms, is more difficult!

In the fifth couplet, not only do you have to split the characters to get it right, but five of the last seven characters all have the word moon!how right?

With a quick swipe, more than a dozen rich kids looked at Du Zhong.

On the way here, Du Zhong told them that he had a way to embarrass Zhang Dun, but now Zhang Dun is embarrassed?Obviously they are embarrassing!

If Zhang Dun came up with a question, none of them could match it. If they really had to drink a few of the wine on the case, today's poetry event could come to an end.

Everyone who participated had to be carried back home!

Du Zhong's face was ugly, especially when he felt the censure from everyone, he felt even more aggrieved.

"Are you here to cheat for food and drink?"

At this moment, Zhang Dun's voice sounded in everyone's ears. When they looked up, they saw Zhang Dun frowning and shaking his head vigorously.

"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, this is not right? You are also worthy of being scholars?"

"..." More than a dozen children from rich families were silent, but their palms were clenched into fists in an instant, and the fists trembled slightly.

angry!anger!

They are scholars, but they are so humiliated by a cook, where is their face when word spreads!

Du Zhong suddenly raised his head, stared at Zhang Dun, and said: "Mr. Zhang, in your opinion, what is considered a scholar? Is Chu Qijulang considered a scholar?"

Chu Suiliang watched Zhang Dun deal with these scholars with great interest, and suddenly saw that Du Zhong was targeting him, so he couldn't help but glared at him, and he couldn't do anything to push the old man up!

Du Zhong didn't seem to see Chu Suiliang's staring eyes, and continued: "Chu Qijulang, the handwriting is unique in the world, why can't he bear the three words of scholar?"

Zhang Dun looked at Chu Suiliang.

Chu Suiliang also looked at Zhang Dun.

Immediately afterwards, the two sighed at the same time.

I can't put it on anymore!

Du Zhong pierced that layer of window paper, and it would be too stiff to put it on!

Chu Suiliang stood up, walked in front of Zhang Dun, smiled and cupped his hands and said:

"Xiao Langjun, let's say goodbye to Dongshi, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Zhang Dun gave a dry laugh.

Du Zhong glanced at Chu Suiliang in disbelief, then at Zhang Dun, and said in surprise, "Chu Qijulang, you—"

"Yes, we know each other."

Chu Suiliang glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, stroked his beard and said indifferently: "Zhang Dun is the old man's year-end friend."

Hearing this, everyone's jaws almost dropped in shock.

A cook in Zuixianlou turned out to be your old friend of Chu Suiliang?

Hu Quhe also covered her lips, looking at Zhang Dun in surprise.

Zhang Dun looked at Chu Suiliang and asked him with his eyes, what are you doing?When did Wangnianjiao happen, why don't I know?

Chu Suiliang approached him with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice:

"To save face, don't use couplets to make things difficult for the old man. I won't be able to forgive you. They messed with you, but I didn't mess with you."

"Don't forget, at that time in Dongshi, the money for your shopping was paid by the old man!"

Chapter 109 Zhang Dunxin, Hu Quhe's Second Wife

"understand!"

Zhang Dun laughed a little, and then said loudly: "Yes, we are indeed friends for years, Brother Chu, I have wanted your good handwriting for a long time."

"I came here specifically to ask you for words at this poetry event."

With that said, Zhang Dun cupped his hands at Chu Suiliang.

When Chu Suiliang saw him passing the steps, he smiled more cheerfully, especially when he felt the inconceivable eyes of Du Zhong, Wei Xian and others beside him, he smiled heartily:

"It's easy to say! If others want the old man's writing, I naturally have to think about it, but if Brother Zhang wants the writing, the old man must write it!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Suiliang shouted to a dozen rich children: "Take paper and pen!"

The faces of Du Zhong, Wei Xian and a dozen rich children were full of disbelief.

Especially Du Zhong and Wei Xian, their palms were clenched into fists, and their chests rose and fell.

Why do they know each other? !

How could Zhang Dun, a cook, know Chu Suiliang, a famous calligrapher?

Seeing that they didn't do anything, Chu Suiliang frowned, and was about to scold them.

Suddenly he saw Hu Quhe standing up, quickly walked from the case where the Four Treasures of the Study were placed, picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, walked to Chu Suiliang, and said crisply: "Chu Qiju, the pen and ink you want are here."

Chu Suiliang's expression eased, and he gave her an appreciative look, then picked up the rabbit brush, dipped it in ink, waved his hand, and wrote out the "Bu Suanzi Yongmei" that Zhang Dun had recited before in cursive script .

"What do you think of this?"

Chu Suiliang looked at Zhang Dun with a smile, but Zhang Dun frowned and said, "I read two poems."

Chu Suiliang thought for a while, spread out a new piece of white paper, wrote down the four sentences "Looking horizontally as a mountain and laterally as a peak", and asked with a smile, "How about this?"

Zhang Dun still frowned, and looked up at him, "I also wrote a couplet."

"..."

Chu Suiliang put down the brush in his hand, looked at him quietly, and said, "Don't push yourself too hard."
