Enter the red building

Seeing Shui Linglong, Mrs. Xue Wang beamed and walked towards Shui Linglong supported by Zhiqiu, and said, "Why haven't you come to our house for a while?"

Shui Linglong's gaze fell on Xue Qiu who was constantly moving through the crowd, and she only said, "Auntie, Xue Qiu seems to have changed!"

Mrs. Xue knew in her heart why he changed, but she said: "Three years will change a person, let alone in that place."

"Is that really the case?" Shui Linglong frowned deeply, "It doesn't seem like he—"

Mrs. Xue interrupted Shui Linglong's thoughts, and asked softly: "Princess, Qiu'er is now the Marquis of Zhennan, and her status is not bad. Would you like to marry us and be my daughter-in-law?"

"What? Auntie, what did you say?" Shui Linglong returned to her senses immediately, and looked at Mrs. Xue with surprise, "Auntie, don't you care about the rumors about Linglong out there?"

Mrs. Xue shook her head and said with a smile, "You are a good girl!"

Hearing Mrs. Xue's words, Shui Linglong's heart ached. This was the first time someone said she was a good girl. With tears in her eyes, she smiled and said, "Auntie—Auntie, you are also good!"

Mrs. Xue asked again: "Are you willing to be my daughter-in-law?"

"Yes!" Shui Linglong immediately replied happily, but when she thought of the person Xue Qiu liked, she felt cold, "But——, but the person he likes is not me, but——"

Mrs. Xue stroked Shui Linglong's long hair lightly, and said, "Don't worry, he said that his marriage is up to me."

"But—" Shui Linglong wanted to say something more, but the sound of drums and drums was already heard outside.

Everyone immediately knew that the Mei family's brides were coming, and they all walked towards the gate with smiling faces. Many of Xue Baoqin's cousins ​​were planning to make things difficult for the new uncle.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly said to Zhiqiu: "Come in and tell me, the person who greets you has arrived, it's time to come out."

Zhiqiu nodded with a smile on his face, and immediately ran in, shouting, "The new uncle is here! The new uncle is here!".

Looking at the lively and festive atmosphere, Shui Linglong couldn't help but wonder if it would be like this when she married Xue Qiu one day?Thinking of this, Shui Linglong smiled happily.

At the gate, many people crowded inside and out, and many people gathered in the street to watch the excitement.The Mei family was quite generous, as they kept throwing happy coins and copper coins at the door, many children rushed forward, laughing, grabbing the coins, and even many adults lowered their faces and bowed to pick up a lot.

Mei Xuan was also dressed in a bright red wedding dress, and his whole person was full of expression and extremely proud.The ancients said that there are three joys in life, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the time of being named on the gold list.Now Mei Xuan is this Erxi, and she is married to Zhennanhou's direct sister, which can be said to be high-ranking, not to mention that Xue Baoqin herself is a strange woman with both talent and appearance. It can be said that she is really blessed to marry to her.

Some of Xue Qiu's cousins ​​stopped Mei Xuan, and Xue Qiu's third cousin, Xue Jia, said with a smile on his face: "Why do you want to marry my cousin? My cousin is the direct sister of the dignified Zhennanhou. You Why marry my cousin? If you want to marry my cousin, you must answer a few questions!"

Mei Xuan wasn't too flustered, he knew it was necessary, so he just asked with a smile: "Then what kind of question do you plan to ask, cousin?"

Xue Jia smiled, with a look of success, and said, "It's not difficult! It's the pairs that Zhennan Hou played?"

Mei Xuan's face turned green all of a sudden, there are definitely still several who can't match up to now the things that my brother-in-law produced through the ages, how could I be able to match up to this.Thinking about it, Mei Xuan's face was covered with sweat, and his heart was very anxious. He looked at Xue Qiu, hoping that Xue Qiu could help to talk about his love.

Song Jiang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, looked at Mei Xuannan's anxious face, and felt amused in his heart, but he stood up and said in Mei Hanzhi's face: "These thousands of years are definitely from Zhennanhou. Today's Zhennan Should Hou also tell us the next couplet?"

All the officials also booed and urged Xue Qiu to give the second couplet.

Song Jiang saw that Xue Qiusong was about to say the second couplet, so he asked directly first: "What is the second couplet that Yiyi left behind?"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Xue Qiu, waiting for Xue Qiu to give the second line.

Xue Qiu didn't say that this time, he replied flatly: "There is nothing in the clutter, don't misunderstand me." Only when you really understand the deep meaning of this couplet, can you know the second couplet.

Everyone suddenly realized, carefully pondering the upper and lower couplets, looking at Xue Qiu with even more admiration.

Another person asked: "What is the second line of Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yanyan—?"

"Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Wuwu." Xue Qiu still said calmly.

Song Jiang was deeply impressed by Xue Qiu's talent, and asked aloud, "What is the next couplet of Yansuo Pond Liu?"

The couplet "Yan Suo Pond Willow" has many people shy away from it, and it is regarded as a classic.Some people also tried to give the second couplet Dengshen Village Temple Bell and Beacon which sold very well in Saihong, but unfortunately the artistic conception is excellent and the five elements are not uniform. Even if there are tea cooking chiseled wall springs with neat five elements and better artistic conception, compared with the first couplet, Still a few points off.

It was Liu Sheng who gave the second couplet of tea cooking and chiseling wall springs. Liu Sheng naturally came to congratulate him today, his eyes were like a torch, and he really wanted to know, has Xue Qiu really been better than himself all along?

Xue Qiu only said: "Perhaps it is not satisfactory, the second line I gave is Tao Ran Jin Jiangdi."

Liu Sheng's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists in his sleeves. Only then did he realize that he had really lost to Xue Qiu, and that he was really inferior to him.

If the willows in Yansuo Pond are a beautiful morning and evening picture scroll, the Jinjiang embankment with peach blossoms reflects the scene of spring full of vitality. profound.Especially the character "burning", whose brushwork is not inferior to that of the character "suo", it can be called a perfect stroke.All the officials are knowledgeable people, so they naturally know the subtlety of Xue Qiu's second couplet.

Song Jiang looked straight at Xue Qiu, his heart was filled with turmoil, this Xue Qiu was simply a genius, and asked again: "Where is Jin Jiang?"

Xue Qiu said with a smile: "It's in Sanyuan, Guangdong." Xue Qiu didn't know that Sanyuan Jinjiang would become famous as soon as his couplet came out. A love poem.

Wang Shuirong of Beijing looked at Xue Qiu with a look of admiration and admiration, and asked: "Then swim in the West Lake, carry the tin pot, what is the second line of the tin pot when it falls into the West Lake?"

Xue Qiu shook his head and said, "Forgive me for my ignorance, so I can't give the second couplet."

Less talented?Everyone was stimulated by these words. If Xue Qiu is ignorant, then isn't he illiterate?

After that, Xue Qiu's reputation became even more prominent. Scholars all over the world admired Xue Qiu sincerely. Others said that Zhennan Hou was the reincarnation of the Wenqu star in the sky.

No matter what, everyone didn't make things difficult for Mei Xuan anymore, after all, no matter how difficult things are for this happy day, it can't delay the time.
