Wake up and become a son-in-law

Xiao'e squinted her eyes and looked at it. "My uncle, those seem to be couplets." Lan Yuheng nodded, "Let's go and have a look." My uncle doesn't like these? Xiao'e nodded and the two of them came to the stage surrounded by a group of people.

"Are there any young masters who want to pair couplets? I wish I could have a lucky couplet during the Chinese New Year and make a pair of five taels, twelve taels, or three taels, 20 taels! Participants only need one tael!" An old man dressed in a festive dress said with a smile, blue Yuheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, twenty times!

"Count me in." A talented man dropped a tael of silver and walked in. The others were also eager to try. After a while, there were ten talented men and two young ladies. The old man laughed, "Okay...but there are still young masters involved." ?”

"Count me in." Lan Yuheng raised his hand, and Xiao'e reminded him in a low voice, "Uncle...it's not easy to get this couplet right. It gets harder as you go to the back..." Lan Yuheng also laughed and said, "It's okay. It's just a tael of silver." Before Xiao'e could take the silver from her pocket, Lan Yuheng had already thrown a tael of silver to the old man. The old man took it very skillfully, "Okay, since it's gone, let's start with the questions. The first couplet is: Heart's desire Poetry from afar into dreams"

After listening to this poem, many talented people also laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? I can see the strange scenery with my eyes and draw it charmingly."

good! That's right

The onlookers also clapped and applauded

The old man nodded, "This young man is right! Do you want to continue? If you continue, the reward will be increased to ten taels. If you lose, it will be just for fun."

The man smiled and nodded, "These kinds of poems don't trouble me, let's continue."

The old man nodded, "Are there any other young masters out there?"

At this time, a woman also smiled and said, "Hand-rolled long scroll pen produces flowers."

The old man continued to ask, "Will this young lady continue?"

The woman also smiled and nodded, "Go on, I'm just painting for fun."

After a while, several pairs of "Xinglai leisurely, swords and wind" came out.

"Looking out the window and drinking wine"

As expected, most of them chose to continue. The few young masters at the back thought hard for a long time and finally shook their heads with a wry smile. The old man comforted him with a smile, "The more you go to the back, the fewer and fewer pairs you can make. If you can't match up, it will happen again." , if there is no opponent, the next round will begin."

"Uncle! Uncle, hurry up and get it right!" Xiao'e was shaking Lan Yuheng's arm at the side, and Lan Yuheng smiled, "I know this old man very well."

"This sentence is more correct than the previous ones." Some people also nodded and commented.

"This young man..."

"You don't have to ask me, I'm here for the jackpot," Lan Yuheng said with a smile.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this young man is very talkative. I remember that no one has taken this prize yet."

"Haha, I congratulate you in advance." The old man was not angry but smiled. Thinking that he was not afraid, "I will tell you the second thing next: look back and smile."

The young man at the beginning suddenly smiled and said, "Lift the leader to chant the sunset...the next question." After saying this, he did not forget to take out his fan and fan himself, regardless of whether it was winter or not...

The woman was silent for a moment and said, "I have been dreaming about it for half my life." The old man nodded, "Is there anything left after passing the test?"

At this time, another man said, "Lift the leader to chant the summer waves."

Lan Yuheng touched his chin and said, "Think before you speak, it's warm..."

The old man couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, yes, this young master passed the test."

The others immediately couldn't help but smacked their lips. This couplet was neither difficult nor easy. The remaining few did not match up and were eliminated. Although they were a little disappointed, they really couldn't admit it. The old man smiled slightly and said, "Now the third level." This couplet below is a bit strange, I hope you will listen carefully and I will only say one word!"

Everyone was stunned for a word? What couplet has one word? Everyone present was stunned. The old man smiled and said, "Of course you can also choose to quit now and take away ten taels each." The four of them shook their heads. After all, only silver taels are not very important to them, except of course Lan Yuheng...

Lan Yuheng couldn't help but frown, "Why don't we stop when we get along? I'll have to lose a couple of silver when this old man cheats." Xiao'e's pretty face turned red. Why is this uncle so weird? At the beginning, he looked calm and relaxed, but now he has retreated, which is not in line with his image at all. "Uncle... I think... I think you can do it."

Lan Yuheng glanced at Xiao'e, "My name is Goose. You're encouraging me like this. I won't be happy this year if I lose later..." Xiao'e scratched her head in distress and didn't know what to say. In fact, she wanted to see My uncle showed off his literary talent, but if he lost, he would probably not be happy...

"Haha, what are your plans, Master?" the old man asked with a smile. Several others were also waiting for his answer. One of them smiled and said, "If Master is afraid, just forget it."

"My uncle is not afraid!" Xiao'e said a little unconvinced, but after saying that, she regretted it and lowered her head with her face turned red. Lan Yuheng glanced at this girl helplessly, "Aren't you pushing me hard?" ? I was originally going to say, how about I surrender and lose half of it?

"In that case, I will ask a question." The old man did not give Lan Yuheng a chance to answer. "I will say a word next and you have to break it into a couplet. This word is "Cheng!" "

"Zheng?" Everyone was stunned. How could this word be used as a couplet? Isn’t this bullying?

"Sir, are you not being deceptive?" Someone finally couldn't help but said. The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I just said it, if you want to continue, if you don't want to, you can choose to get the corresponding reward." , why are you saying this to deceive others?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking. After all, the old man had indeed said it just now. All of a sudden, several people began to think hard. Lan Yuheng finally understood why a word, isn't it just splitting a couplet? After a while, no one answered. Just when everyone was complaining, someone said, "Look, Mr. Liu is here! There is also Mr. Liu!"

"Hey, maybe these two young masters can solve it when they come."

"Hey! Who are the two girls next to them?"

"You are blind, that's not Miss Yu'er or Miss Qianqian."

"Oh... why are they with two talented people? I heard that girl Qianqian has stopped doing business a long time ago, and girl Yu'er prefers to be alone and never interacts with dignitaries. How come today..."

"Hey, don't think about who Mr. Liu is. He is one of the three most talented men in Huzhou. Would that girl not like him?"

Hearing the commotion around them, the four of them had already arrived. Mu Yu'er was a little surprised to see Lan Yuheng, but Lan Yuheng didn't seem to notice it and was still thinking hard. After all, if he couldn't think of 20 taels, he would have to pay for it. What a waste! Mu Qianqian also glanced at Lan Yuheng in surprise and stopped paying attention. Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu didn't notice him at all, but smiled and said, "Why is it so lively? Can you let me try it too?"

The old man looked a little troubled, but the passers-by on the side were unhappy. "This old man said that for a lottery, participants need one or two..." The bystanders told what happened, and Liu Sheng and Liu Kaiyuan also frowned. "Old sir, what if I don't settle the bill with you after I finish this couplet?"

The old man smiled and nodded, "Of course it can be as long as one stick of incense." Liu Sheng also smiled and took out a silver check from the show and handed it over, "Just consider it the registration fee." This scene instantly won the hearts of some rich ladies. Although she had a good impression, Mu Yu'er looked at Lan Yuheng from time to time, and finally focused on Xiao'e behind him. She must be his maid, right? After all, this is the first time I see Lan Yuheng taking a maid...

"Uncle...I'm sorry," Xiao'e said a little guiltily. Lan Yuheng smiled softly and touched Xiao'e's little head. "It's okay. It's just a tael of silver." After half a stick of incense, no one thought about it. The curtain on the side Qianqian and Mu Yu'er whispered earnestly, "Sister Yu'er, who do you think can match this couplet?"

Mu Yu'er smiled and said, "I don't know who wrote this poem. I guess your Mr. Jia can get it right." Mu Qianqian blushed, "Sister Yu'er, don't talk nonsense... But Mr. Jia should be able to get it right..." ..”

"If you guys can't get along, don't force it." The old man looked at them with a smile. Lan Yuheng said with a smile, "Old sir, I have a couplet here that I don't know if it counts."

The old man did not feel panicked by Lan Yuheng's words. Instead, he smiled and said, "Please speak." Others also noticed Lan Yuheng. Liu Kaiyuan and Liu Sheng also looked at Lan Yuheng, with a little scrutiny in their eyes. Mu Yu'er With a slight smile on her face, it was obvious that she was not surprised but rather expecting. Lan Yuheng muttered, "Let's sit beside each other while arguing."

A group of people didn't understand the meaning of this couplet for a while. The old man was stunned for a moment and suddenly showed joy. "Young master, you really got it right!" Liu Sheng was the first to react. "This brother is so right. This sentence is wonderful. Ah, a quarrel is a quarrel, and it is really amazing that you can form a couplet."

Mu Yu'er also laughed, "It seems that Yu Heng can earn another 20 taels." Mu Qianqian glanced at Mu Yu'er and couldn't help but said, "Sister Yu'er didn't expect that Mr. Lan was quite capable." Mu Yu'er just smiled. No words were spoken, which made Mu Qianqian feel baffled...

"Old sir, hurry up and give the money to my uncle," Xiao'e urged from the side for fear that the other party would cheat. The onlookers couldn't help but laugh. This girl is quite interesting, uncle? Could this be the Li family’s son-in-law Lan Yuheng?

"Yes, yes, this person should be Lan Yuheng. I heard that he was also popular for a while, but he has no new works since then, which makes people think that he has no great talent and belongs to stealing poetry."

"Hey, this must be Lan Yuheng. I heard that he is frail and sick and can't lift weights in middle age!" A group of people began to whisper in earnest. Mu Yu'er glared at them angrily, and then Xin Xin shut up...

"Don't be rude when calling for a goose. How can this old gentleman take away my 20 taels of silver? Do you think he is an old gentleman?" Lan Yuheng patted Xiao'e's head and said with a chuckle. The old man was a little dumbfounded. "Young Master is talking about..." ....But I still have some couplets, I wonder if Young Master is interested?"

"The old man was so funny that he only had a little ink on his stomach, so forget it." Lan Yuheng declined politely. Are you kidding me? 20 taels of silver is so hard to earn, and it will definitely be even harder to think about it later...
