I have a magic pot

Han Feng also looked up curiously.

On the first couplet, there is a line of characters written in elegant and graceful fonts.

"Green water has no worries, but it is wrinkled by the wind."

The second scroll reads.

"Water and land continents, boats stop on continents, but boats on continents cannot."

The third scroll reads.

"When there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, fish will be fished; the water will be watery, and the rivers and lakes will be small."

As soon as the three couplets came out, there was a burst of noise in the hall. From time to time, someone responded with a voice, and the scene was in full swing.

But with the passage of time, the guests who were eager to try it were gradually turning pale.

Finally, the hall was strange and became quiet.

At this moment, Han Feng carefully chewed the three couplets, and he was also secretly shocked, and finally understood why so many people showed embarrassment.

The first couplet, "The green hills are not old at all, but the face is wrinkled by the wind", seems simple, but you can tell it is not the case if you take a closer look.

On the surface, this couplet describes the natural landscape, but it implies anthropomorphic techniques. From the scene to the emotion, the artistic conception is quite far-reaching. It is extremely difficult to match the second couplet with the situation.

But the second couplet, "Water and land continents, boats stop on continents, boats can't go on continents" is even more difficult.

It not only has the characteristics of "homophone" and "thimble" (a rhetorical method, which refers to the use of the same word or word at the end of the previous sentence and the beginning of the next sentence).

Moreover, it implies the physical law of "relative motion", which is extremely difficult to deal with perfectly.

As for the last couplet, "If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, there will be fishing; if there is water, there will be rivers and lakes." It can be said to be the most difficult.

In a typical "tie-down couplet", the level-to-level confrontation is already extremely difficult.

And this couplet starts with "water". When facing off, you need to choose one of the five elements "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth", which can be said to be more difficult.

As soon as the third couplet comes out, even Han Feng, which has assembled the wisdom of ancient Chinese people for thousands of years, can still be called wonderful from the perspective of modern people.

With such a difficult three sets of couplets, it is no wonder that the hall became silent, which stumped the countless talented men in Bailong County.

Han Feng couldn't help feeling admiration. It seemed that Miss Mu had so many crazy admirers in Bailong County.

Regardless of appearance, this talent can already stand out from the crowd.

And the maid on the attic looked at the people in the hall, who were deep in thought, and just said with a faint smile.

"Guest officials, think about it slowly, if anyone can match the second couplet, we will immediately offer paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and make it public here.

At that time, all the guest officials present and Ms. Mu will be invited to judge whether the battle is neat or not. "

Chapter 47 Cheating

In the Sajin Pavilion, more than half of the fragrance has been burned, and there are whispers in the auditorium on the third floor of the cabinet.

Everyone sometimes raised their heads and stared at the third couplet, and sometimes frowned and thought about the second couplet.

The three couplets of the Sajin Pavilion are indeed extremely difficult, but there are also scholars with extraordinary knowledge from Bailong County Middle School, or older Confucian scholars who have read poetry and books.

The literary talents of these people should not be underestimated. Occasionally, a few people had a flash of inspiration and called the servants to send "pen and ink scrolls" to write the next couplet.

However, as soon as these second couplets were sent to the third floor, they were opened by the maids in public. After discussion, some people would point out the inconsistencies in them, or criticize them as "a dog's tail continued with a mink".

These people can only ask people to take off the scroll in shame and continue to think.

Of course, among the guests there may not be any people who are astonishingly talented.

For example, in the hall on the first floor, a young scholar in green shirt named "Li Heng" wrote two couplets one after another, and no one was able to point out the shortcomings in them for a while.

The first couplet he wrote was: "I don't hate the Qiang flute, but I worry about Liu."

For the first couplet, "there is no worry about green water, but the face is wrinkled by the wind".

The second couplet is: "Shanting Road, the road runs away from the deer, and the road is difficult to run when the deer runs away."

For the first couplet, "Water and land continents, stop boats on continents, and boats on continents will not work."

The two lower couplets and the first couplet are neatly contrasted, and the artistic conception fits well. Instead of finding faults, people clap their hands and applaud.

At the same time, it also attracted people who came to watch the excitement. Many beautiful girls who sprinkled the Golden Pavilion cast admiring and admiring glances at the rather handsome Li Heng.

Even Qin Yujiao couldn't help but praise.

"This person is really right. I seem to have heard his name before. This person should be a 'juren' from our Bailong County. He really has extraordinary literary talent."

After speaking, she looked at Han Feng again, and said with a mocking smile.

"Hey, don't you also want to be the guest of that woman surnamed Mu, you go to the next couplet too.

What, gave up so soon? "

Hearing this, Han Feng glanced at Qin Yujiao, smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it, I don't want to do this kind of publicity, and I'm not interested in those "guests".

Besides, instead of having a long conversation with this kind of romantic woman, it's better to gossip with a lady like Miss Qin Er. "

Han Feng's words were originally a common joke with his female friends in his previous life.

However, it was different in Miss Qin's ears, and Xiao Nizi blushed immediately.

Meimou stared at Han Feng, showing two cute little canine teeth, and said threateningly.

"Han Feng, you disciple, who wants to gossip with you, don't dare to talk nonsense, be careful I won't recognize anyone with my fist!"

After she finished speaking, she added another sentence with disdain.

"I see you, you just don't know anything about couplets, and you're just afraid of making a fool of yourself!"

Hearing this, Han Feng just smiled casually, picked up the cup of tea and sipped it lightly, very leisurely, watching everyone in the hall racking their brains.

Compared with Han Feng's comfortable and relaxed, Zhao Weinan is the complete opposite. At this moment, his hands clasped the fence firmly, looking at the three couplets, his eyes turned red.

No matter how much he scratched his stomach, the "slightly invisible" ink in his stomach couldn't put together a couplet.

Zhao Weinan was sweating profusely, and his nails almost sank into the wooden fence.

Seeing that the fragrance had been burned for more than half, in the whole hall, only Mr. Li Heng Li had two couplets, and the third couplet seemed to be brewing. It seemed that today's guest of honor had already belonged.

Suddenly, at the table where Han Feng and the others were, someone came over.

Han Feng and the others turned their heads and saw Wu Zhenghao, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, leading Liu Fang to their side.

As soon as she saw Wu Zhenghao, Qin Yujiao's expression suddenly became unkind.

Wu Zhenghao stepped back in fright, avoided Qin Yujiao's gaze, looked at Han Feng and Zhao Weinan, and said with a sneer.

"Hey... Young Master Han and Young Master Zhao, since the two of you are also here for Miss Mu, now it's over half of the time, why aren't you two right?

Could it be that, with two great talents, can't they match up with this mere third deputy? "

Hearing Wu Zhenghao's obvious sarcasm, Han Feng naturally ignored it, but Zhao Weinan was so angry that his nostrils were smoking, and he sneered back.

"Wu Zhenghao, don't say such sarcastic remarks. If we can't get it right, you can get it right. With your literary talent, how much do you think you can do better than me?"

Wu Zhenghao laughed triumphantly when he heard the words.

"Hahaha... Zhao Weinan, thanks to you being the young master of the Zhao family, with your brains, if you inherit your Zhao family's family business in the future, I'm afraid you will ruin the family sooner or later."

As he spoke, Wu Zhenghao glanced at Liu Fangdao, who was dressed in white with his chest in his chest.

"Hey... Mr. Liu, let's go. Some people want to break their heads but can't match such a simple couplet. It's really pitiful. Let us teach them what true literary talent is!"

As he said that, Wu Zhenghao glanced at Zhao Weinan and Han Feng with contempt, as if venting his resentment, he turned back with Liu Fang proudly.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Zhao Weinan was so angry that he looked at Han Fengdao.

"Brother Han, how do I feel, these two guys are despising my IQ!"

Han Feng took a sip of tea lightly and said calmly.

"Be confident and take the 'feeling' out."

"Uh..." Zhao Weinan felt like a deflated ball, but immediately raised his head and said unconvinced.

"Hmph, I don't believe it, that dead fat pig can match the second line."

Qin Yujiao at the side rarely agreed.

"I think this guy is as stupid as a pig, how could he be right."

At the same time, Wu Zhenghao had already returned to his seat, and he slapped the table with his big hand and shouted.

"Come here, get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Immediately, a servant brought a scroll of writing and ink. Under the surprised eyes of Zhao Weinan, Qin Yujiao and others, Wu Zhenghao picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to scribble it.

Han Feng also looked at Wu Zhenghao at this moment. Standing at his angle, he could just see that when Wu Zhenghao was writing the couplet, Liu Bianyi was standing beside him, his lips twitching.

Obviously, this couplet is actually Liu Fang's "grabbing the sword" for Wu Zhenghao.

"Fuck, this guy is cheating!"

Zhao Weinan also found out the suspicion, and yelled out angrily, but it was useless, and only got a mocking smile from Wu Zhenghao.

Not long after, Wu Zhenghao wrote two couplets, which were delivered directly to the waitress on the third floor and posted on the fence.

The first couplet: "A beautiful girl is not a bad girl, but she is infatuated with love."

The second couplet: "The sky rains and the clouds, the clouds rain, the rain falls and the clouds never fall."

The two second couplets unfolded at the same time, and there was another silence in the hall, and then there was a burst of applause!

"Good literary talent!"

"What a wonderful second line, the battle is so neat!"

"These two lower couplets were written by that talented person?"

……

With the sound of applause from the crowd, the female waitress on the attic said with a smile.

"This is the second couplet written by the second son of Wu."

Everyone was astonished when they heard the words, the second young master of the Wu family had a great reputation in Bailong County, but it was a pity that he was notorious far and wide.

Naturally, many people did not believe that the other party was able to make such a wonderful second line.

However, based on Wu Zhenghao's family background, no one dared to stand up and criticize. On the contrary, some people flattered and praised the two second couplets as excellent, even better than Li Juren's two second couplets.

At this moment, Li Heng looked at Wu Zhenghao's two second couplets, and his delicate and clean face showed a bit of surprise. He immediately looked at the third couplet together and began to think seriously.

Apparently he also felt threatened and planned to make a second line as soon as possible.

And Wu Zhenghao on the pavilion, hearing the applause one after another downstairs, also showed a complacent expression, and provocatively, raised the brush in his hand to Han Feng and Zhao Weinan.

On the other hand, Liu Fang, a counselor of the Wu Mansion, was contemplating with frowned at this moment, obviously trying his best to make a second line.

Zhao Weinan watched from the sidelines, scratching his head, hating himself for not being smart enough to learn from Wu Zhenghao, so he asked a capable person to help him solve the problem.

Seeing that only a quarter of Qingxiang was left, the game in the hall seemed to be a duel between Li Heng and Wu Zhenghao.

Just a moment later, Liu Fang's eyes suddenly brightened, and he whispered something in Wu Zhenghao's ear.

Wu Zhenghao's eyes lit up as well, and he started to write immediately, while Li Heng also swiped his pen almost at the same time, and both of them actually came up with the second couplet at the same time.

Unwilling to the extreme, Zhao Weinan cursed sourly.

"Hmph, Wu Zhenghao must not be allowed to win. If this guy becomes famous in Bailong County in the future, he will be even more proud."

Han Feng comforted him from the sidelines.

"Brother Zhao, why do you care so much? He is just a guest of the oiran, how can he be famous in Bailong County?"

Zhao Weinan sighed.

"Brother Han, you don't know Miss Mu's influence. In the entire Bailong County, who doesn't know the talent and name of Miss Mu in Sajin Pavilion. If she can get her favor and approval, it is a piece of waste paper that can be sold." A sky-high price!

If Wu Zhenghao becomes Miss Mu's guest of honor, there will probably be a lot of beauties in the future who will admire him heartily. Just thinking about it makes me panic! "

Zhao Weinan sighed indignantly, he didn't know him well, but his words made Han Feng, who had been watching the excitement, suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Hey...yes, why did I forget!"

Han Feng slapped his thigh suddenly, startling Zhao Weinan and Qin Yujiao.
