There is a lot of fun watching literary fights.
A layman can just watch the fun and see how these scholars can use their mouths to make others lose their momentum and become depressed.
Experts can follow the rhythm of the competition in the field and try to solve the questions themselves to see how big the gap between themselves and the opponent is. If the people in the field fail to answer, they can think of the solution. That kind of oil However, the refreshing feeling of being alive is simply not to be mentioned.
But in the face of this couplet, even if they racked their brains, they still felt powerless.
Just when they were at a loss what to do, they heard Xia Jingyun's second line.
[Who would have known that the six internal organs of a villain are sinister and the five internal organs are sour and rotten. 】
[It has the four white characteristics and does not have the three precepts. 】
Sibai refers to those with small eyes and the whites of their eyes exposed on all sides. Generally speaking, in physiognomy, this type of person is a typical person who is cold and cunning although he has a good mind, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. At the same time, she has the Bailianhua character who likes to pretend to be innocent and gain sympathy from others.
Each of the three precepts has its own explanation, but according to scholars, they are abstinence from sex, abstention from fighting, and abstention from attainment.
These four whites and three precepts hit Shi Zixian’s destiny!
Everyone looked at Shi Zixian's small pupils and couldn't help but cover their mouths.
Hahahaha, what a shame!
On the second floor, even Qin Yuwen, who was forced to come here and had no interest in activities such as cultural gatherings, felt that Xia Jingyun's couplet was a perfect match.
The steward of the Guangling Guild Hall was very knowledgeable. After learning about the activity of having a pair, he immediately arranged for someone to copy it on the second floor to prevent these big shots from forgetting it.
Naturally, the room where Qin Sichao and Qin Yuwen, the fourth young masters of Zhongjing, were in could not be forgotten. Two pieces of paper were placed in front of him. Qin Yuwen crossed his chest with one hand and rubbed his chin with the other. If you lose the virtues of the six arts, you will make people laugh in the end. This Xia Jingyun can really think of a way to scold him in such a short period of time. This brain can make money faster than my family!"
Qin Sichao nodded with a smile, "The four whites, the three precepts, and the second intention to become famous. Xia Jingyun's sharp eyesight and precise word choice are truly extraordinary."
In the side room, the woman looked at the two pieces of paper in front of her, read them again, and still felt they were very good.
Although this second line of couplet cannot be said to be unchangeable, and even the unevenness is debatable, as she said before, the key is time.
The quick wit of being able to produce a neat second line with completely matching meanings in such a short period of time is amazing enough.
The steward of the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance clenched his fist suddenly and said to himself that Mr. Xia is worthy of the praise of the master. Such literary talent and temperament can relieve his anger!
But people like Shi Zijun, British government officials, and others were sluggish, slumped, and silent.
Bai Yunbian glanced at Xia Jingyun silently, feeling that he had really worried too much just now. What could be done to defeat this monster!
Xia Jingyun, who wrote the second couplet, actually felt a little sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect Shi Zixian to be so ruthless, and he immediately wrote the first couplet of more than 60 words. He almost missed it, his mind was spinning. It was so fast that I almost fainted. I stretched out my hand to wipe my sweat and looked at the old professor who was presiding. "Sir, I wonder if this second couplet is still qualified?"
The old professor nodded immediately, "This couplet is right!"
"Brother Gao Yang is mighty!"
Xu Dapeng immediately shouted loudly.
Everyone in Sishui Prefecture also cheered.
The people from Yunmeng Prefecture also followed suit because of what happened at Baiyunbian and because they had lost to Guangling Prefecture.
People often have a herd mentality. With this momentum, the other two states that had lost to Guangling Prefecture also started to make trouble.
There were also some other bad actors mixed in, and for a while, Guanglingzhou became the target of ridicule.
But Guangling Prefecture's own economy is good, and all the officials are arrogant. In addition, with the current winning streak, they are even more arrogant. They can't bear it when they hear the words, and they immediately fight back.
"What are you so arrogant about! This is just a first-line match against Mr. Shi, not a win!"
"Yes, if Mr. Shi matches your first couplet, there will be another round. What's the big deal!"
"That's right, Mr. Shi, quickly use your pair to kill him!"
Everyone in Guangling Prefecture fought back one after another, shouting that Shi Zixian also wanted to make them look good!
Shi Zixian wiped his forehead. He knew about his family affairs. How could he be so good at killing Xia Jingyun?
Even if Xia Jingyun can match his level, ten of them combined may not be able to beat him!
But he had no choice but to pray that Xia Jingyun's questions would be easier.
The old professor looked at Xia Jingyun and said, "Xia Xiaoyou, please come up with the first couplet."
Xia Jingyun looked at Shi Zixian, thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Lonely and cold, a widow with an empty window."
Shi Zixian was nervously waiting for the verdict of fate. Suddenly, he was overjoyed when he heard such a simple couplet.
Everyone in the audience thought that Xia Jingyun would follow the same example and create an extremely complicated first couplet. After hearing this, they were stunned. It shouldn't be. How could it be so simple?
Bai Yunbian didn't believe that this dog could be so kind-hearted. After thinking about it carefully, he realized it immediately.
"I'll just say it!"
Many people immediately understood the problem and couldn't help but take a breath.
It's hard to match the mood of being lonely, cold, and widowed.
The key is, this couplet or all the radicals are the same.
This is not much simpler than the couplet just now!
Shi Zixian saw that everyone's expressions were gradually changing. He immediately realized that he had not thought about the way out. He chewed again and almost cursed.
On the second floor, the steward of the British government saw the changes in everyone's reactions, turned around and asked: "Is this first couplet difficult?"
Fortunately, among the group of housekeepers, there were also people who were proficient in writing, so they explained it to everyone.
The corners of the mouths of a group of housekeepers in noble mansions twitched. How could these scholars be so cunning? Fortunately, they were uneducated and didn't have to face this.
"Master Shi, don't think about it! The time is almost up!"
A scholar from Guangling Prefecture saw that Shi Zixian was as stiff as a stone and thought that he was lost in thought, so he spoke to remind him.
Shi Zixian knocked it, and sure enough, the hourglass was almost gone.
He quickly said: "I have the second line!"
The old professor nodded, "The time has not passed yet, it is valid, please come out with the second line."
Shi Zixian didn't have any second line. He just spoke out of desperation, but now the eyes were on him, and he felt like he was carrying a heavy burden.
His throat rolled, he racked his brains and muttered:
"The sea is surging. Oh no, the lotus is fragrant and the reeds are luxuriant. Oh, no, that river and lake is full of tears. Uh, wait, I will change to another one. Lotus lotus root."
When the old professor saw this, he realized that this kid was shouting randomly. He couldn't help but said, "The time has passed. I'll give you another chance to answer!"
Shi Zixian opened his mouth and thought to himself, "It's wrong for a charming wet nurse to marry a young son-in-law."
Amidst the roar of laughter, the old professor couldn't bear it anymore and said with a striking voice, "That's enough!"
"This round, Sishui Prefecture wins!"
"Great!"
Xu Dapeng immediately raised his arms and shouted, and the other students from Sishui Prefecture also cheered and made loud noises.
On the opposite side, Guangling Prefecture was completely silent.
The scene two days ago reappeared today, except that the subject and guest changed places, and the joy was opposite.
I was arrogant and domineering back then, but now it's like falling into an ice cave, being struck by lightning, or mourning the death of a heir;
The once lonely party is now making a lot of noise, high spirits and joy.
All this is just because of the arrival of one person.
The officials present looked at the man who was sitting calmly, without even showing any expression of surprise, and secretly engraved his appearance in their hearts. This was something they could never be enemies of!
Shi Zixian was really panicked now.
Because he lost two rounds in a row, he couldn't lose another round.
But according to the order of yesterday's competition, the third round was again long and short sentences.
Although they had prepared a very unorthodox topic and carefully prepared a song, they were very confident, but poetry has been a family since ancient times. What if Xia Jingyun once again creates miracles in the field for which he is most famous?
Wasn't he just being crushed?
Then wouldn't it mean that all the fame he had earned through all his efforts was made into Xia Jingyun's wedding dress?
Thinking of this, Shi Zixian's hands hidden in his sleeves began to tremble uncontrollably.
The rest of the people in Guangling Prefecture, including Shi Zijun on the second floor, had similar thoughts.
With Xia Jingyun's ability shown at this moment, even the most die-hard Guanglingzhou supporters dare not say that Guanglingzhou will win in the third round.
Even if the question is proposed by Guangling Prefecture.
On the other side, Xia Jingyun's supporters felt that the situation was great and victory was in sight, and their laughter and laughter became much louder.
People who don't mind watching the excitement don't feel sorry for it. Although there is no excitement like a two-to-two tie and then a decisive game, it is still a great thing to witness the extremely arrogant Shi Zixian being crushed and defeated in the past few days. Things that are rich in conversation.
The old professor glanced at Shi Zixian and said, "In the third round, long and short sentences, please ask Guanglingzhou to come up with questions."
Shi Zixian trembled and had no choice but to stand up.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to feel his heart change, Xia Jingyun suddenly spoke.
"Shi Zixian, do you want to change the order of the competition?"
