Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 262 This boy is not simple

  As the sun sets, the entire capital is resplendent and magnificent. The streets are bustling with people like a sea, but no one pays attention to the magnificent scenery.

   An inn with unusually prosperous decoration, it was silent at this time, and no one paid attention to the beautiful scenery.

  In the inn, a plainly dressed young man looked innocently at the shocked shop assistant with twitching corners of his mouth, turned his dark eyes like pearls, and asked softly with the corners of his lips hooked:

   "Why, can it be said that it is also not possible? How about this, the mountain spring on Jingquan Mountain is quiet, the sky is connected to the water and the tail water is to the sky; or, the mountain spring on Jingquan Mountain is quiet, and the fog locks the mountain and the mountain locks the fog."

  The store clerk, who was seven meat and eight vegetables, heard the words, his eyes were red, and he almost cried!

   Don’t bring such a couplet, others can’t think of a couplet after a long time of hard work, but they are happy for a long time when they think of one, and the whole room can only come up with three couplets!

  You are better off, change one word, change two words, change three words, and then change all two words, and now you throw out two more words! In the blink of an eye, you can make a couplet, and with a glass of water, you can make 7 couplets with just one couplet!

   Even drinking water is not so fast!

  The store clerk looked at Zhu Pingan with an innocent face again, and the clerk felt as if he saw a monster!

  After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, he turned his attention to the shop assistant again, with an innocent face and his mouth slightly opened.

   Seeing that Zhu Ping'an seemed to want to talk again, the shop clerk nodded quickly, yes yes yes, lest the boy nod slowly and throw a few couplets casually, his little heart really couldn't stand the blow.

  The people in the store who were concentrated, contemplated, and puzzled, all looked shocked at the poor country boy in front of him, as if they had seen a ghost.

  In the entire inn, there was silence.

  However, a voice soon broke the silence of the room.

   "Well, if you have two couplets, you will be free of board and lodging for one day, right?" Zhu Pingan asked after the clerk nodded, and then asked again.

  The shop assistant's eyes were dull, and he nodded numbly and mechanically.

  Then, the shop clerk was shocked again, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhu Ping'an in shock.

  You, you. What are you doing?

  That look, as if a little girl walking alone on a remote path was suddenly cornered by a strong man with malicious intentions!

   "Free board and lodging means that you don't need money to eat whatever you want, right?"

  The plainly dressed young man on the opposite side had a joyful expression on his face, his black eyes instantly became as clear as the summer sky, with a fiery passion, honest and straightforward.

  The clerk nodded again, looking at Zhu Ping'an in shock, his hands trembling a little.

   Then, everyone in the lobby focused on Zhu Pingan again.

  After Zhu Pingan got the affirmative answer from the shop assistant, he curled his lips slightly, looked up at the couplet hanging on the railing on the third floor, and moved from the first couplet to the second couplet.

Then, everyone was even more shocked, because when the couplets were paired in this inn, everyone chose the simpler ones from the six couplets, and did not do it in order. If they were in order, it would be more difficult. For example, perhaps the latter will be simpler than the former. Now, seeing Zhu Pingan looking at the second couplet in order, that's why he was shocked.

  This kid can't be pretending.

  No matter what everyone thinks, Zhu Pingan's eyes have now fallen on the second couplet. This pair of couplets is much longer than the first pair, it is too long, and the difficulty has also increased a lot. This couplet has a total of 28 characters, and the content is as follows:

  Baita Street, Huang blacksmith, lighting red furnace, burning black charcoal, emitting green smoke, flashing blue light, quenching purple iron, sitting north to south and making things.

  If you look at the content alone, this couplet should be the couplet that the owner of this inn copied in front of the blacksmith shop in some corner. There are seven colors in this couplet: white, yellow, red, black, blue, blue, and purple. The colors are embedded in nouns and verbs respectively, and then there are four direction words of east, west, south, and north behind the couplet. The most important thing is that this couplet strings these elements together, and there is a theme of a blacksmith striking iron, so this couplet is very difficult.

   "Has anyone else corrected this couplet?" After reading the couplet, Zhu Pingan pointed to the couplet and asked the shop assistant next to him.

   "There is a pair." The voice of the shop assistant was a little trembling.

   "Oh, let's read it out, so I won't repeat it accidentally. Don't worry, I won't change the words this time." Zhu Ping'an said with a slight curl of his lips.

"Baita Street, Huang Blacksmith, makes a red furnace, burns black charcoal, emits green smoke, flashes blue light, quenches purple iron, sits north to south and hits things; the ancients, the later, read Zuozhuan, learn from the right army, and worship Shangqing , sit in the middle hall, and let the subordinates go out and come in and enshrine the princes"

  The store clerk opened the booklet with trembling hands, turned to the second page, and read the couplet again. The voice no longer had the arrogance and contempt it had before, but only shock and uneasiness.

   "High ambitions, good manners." Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an slightly curled his lips and praised.

  A well-dressed young man in the lobby pushed the young man named Wen Sheng beside him with his hand, and said with a smile, "That kid praised you for your high ambition."

  The young man named Wen Sheng next to him looked at Zhu Ping'an, and smiled indifferently, "I'm curious what kind of second line he can come up with."

   "Are you so sure that he can come up with the right couplet?" The well-dressed boy looked at his friend Wen Sheng and asked.

   "Don't you believe it?" The boy named Wen Sheng turned to his friend and asked back.

   "Hehehe, I believe it." The well-dressed boy smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.

  As soon as the conversation between the two teenagers ended, Zhu Pingan in the field had already begun to recite the couplet he had written in a low voice:

   "Baita Street, Huang Blacksmith, lighting a red furnace, burning black charcoal, emitting green smoke, flashing blue light, quenching purple iron, sitting north to south and making things;

  Zhoukoudian, Qin Scholar, reciting Han Fu, reciting Tang poems, filling in Song lyrics, singing Yuan songs, watching Ming history, watching spring and autumn through winter and summer. "

it is good!

  As soon as Zhu Ping'an's voice fell, there was a burst of applause in the lobby, and then many people suddenly realized that they slapped their heads, regretting why they hadn't thought of it earlier.

This young man creatively combined the names of the seven dynasties of Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming, which we are all familiar with, with Han Fu, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, and Yuan Qu, etc. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the names of the four seasons. , Look at the age corresponding to playing things. The most important thing is that if the artistic conception of Shanglian is to forge iron, then the artistic conception of this young man's Xialian has risen to the realm of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", which is simply amazing.

  This young man is really not simple.

  In the lobby, for the first time, everyone focused their eyes on Zhu Pingan in the field.
