The gift under the couplet is a piece of white jade with a warm color and translucency like mutton fat. One look at it and you can tell that it is expensive.
Next to the white jade, there are several golden ornaments, which complement each other and are beautiful.
All these things add up to almost a thousand taels of silver.
For an ordinary family in Gandu City, this is basically more than ten years, or even decades of income.
Just place it here so grandly, without any worry of being taken away.
It seems that he is very confident in this couplet.
that's the truth.
Because Li Changkong recognized this couplet.
Absolute through the ages - the five elements are right!
Yansuo Pondliu has five characters, which are the five radicals of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Moreover, the artistic conception is extraordinary. Since its birth and thousands of years, it has stumped many literati.
Unexpectedly, this is definitely the case in Daqian.
Even Princess Zhaoyang opened her mouth slightly after seeing it and said in surprise: "The great scholar Wang Tingxuan's Five Elements Pair!"
When Li Changkong heard this, he was also a little surprised and said: "Great Confucian Wang Tingxuan?"
"Yes, this couplet was created by Wang Tingxuan, a famous Chu scholar and Confucian."
"It's just that even he himself, after creating the Five Elements pairing, meditated hard for more than ten years, never came up with the second couplet, let alone others."
"Therefore, this couplet is also called the eternal absolute!"
Li Changkong nodded when he heard this. It seems that gold will always shine. Such couplets will remain eternal even if they change the dynasty or the world.
"Let's go." Zhaoyang's deer-like eyes showed a rare hint of worry.
Although she has great confidence in Li Changkong, the Five Elements pair is so famous that it can stump the entire Daqian literary world, and even the literary circles of all four countries.
If Li Changkong couldn't stand up to him, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
For a man, the most difficult thing to accept is losing face in front of a woman.
Therefore, as a woman with general knowledge, Zhaoyang will take the initiative to avoid this situation from happening.
When Li Changkong heard this, he smiled and shook his head, and then walked forward.
Zhaoyang was startled, a little impatient, and followed quickly.
The owner of the Five Elements Duality stall is a chubby middle-aged man, dressed like a wealthy businessman, wearing gold and silver, very luxurious.
Seeing the arrival of Li Changkong and Zhao Yang at this time, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
Another young man who wanted to show off in front of a beautiful woman, but little did he know, he chose the wrong place.
Is it possible for you to figure out this eternal absolute?
But you still have to do it decently.
He walked forward, put on a professional fake smile on his face, and said: "You two, come to see the gifts? We don't need to face each other, they can be sold separately."
Yes, this is the normal profit model for his stall.
After all, there are only a few young people who have a hot head and want to be absolute for the ages.
"Then what if I can figure it out?"
Hearing this, the boss smiled and shook his head, thinking: "If you can tell me, you can take away everything in my stall that you can see."
Li Changkong also laughed when he heard this.
Zhaoyang grabbed his sleeve, his eyes even more worried, and said, "Let's go."
Li Changkong patted her hand to express relief.
Just like that, Zhaoyang's face turned red.
This was the first time she and Li Changkong had physical contact.
"Yansuo Pondliu, right?"
"Your first couplet focuses on the five radicals of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and at the same time, there is an artistic conception of green smoke and green willows above a pond."
When the boss heard this, he was shocked. If he knew this, how dare he come to this Qiangu Absolute? Could it be that he has some confidence in his heart?
Can't? This one doesn't look young either.
"Listen carefully, Yansuo Pondliu, I'm talking about Pao Zhenhaicheng Tower!"
"They are also the five radicals of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the artistic conception is not bad. What do you think? Is it a match?"
Li Changkong was still asking, but the boss was stunned on the spot, dumbfounded and in disbelief.
This... this is more than just right, it's so neatly matched!
Absolutely for eternity! Even the great Confucian Wang Tingxuan could not stand up to this eternal absolute!
Just like that, being confronted by a young man right under his nose?
It's... so unreal.
The boss pinched his face. After feeling the pain, he hurriedly let go, looked at Li Changkong in front of him, changed his previous attitude, and said respectfully: "May I ask your name?"
"Wulinghou Mansion, the crown prince Li Changkong."
"Your talent is like mountains and flowing water, making people admire you."
"As long as your Excellency can appreciate these gifts, I will take them all. I will have no complaints."
"However, I have a merciless request."
"What?" Li Changkong asked.
"Can I tell you that it was you who brought this Qiangu Absolute to my side?" As a witness to the Qiangu Absolute being exposed, I don't know how many guests I can bring him. All these are just free money!
Li Changkong could see what his boss was thinking at a glance, but he didn't care much. After all, this was the fact. Just publicize it, so he nodded.
Then he turned to look at Zhaoyang and asked: "Is there anything you like? Pick some and take them away?"
When Zhaoyang heard this, he suddenly woke up like a frightened deer.
She knew that Li Changkong's literary attainments were very high, but she really didn't expect that he could be as high as this.
This is an eternal absolute that even the great scholar Wang Tingxuan cannot stand up to!
Who is the great Confucian Wang Tingxuan?
To put it in a simpler way, even people like her who don't like literature often hear the name of Wang Tingxuan.
This is a character who has broken the circle!
Now, Li Changkong has a match that even Wang Tingxuan cannot match. Doesn't it mean that he is even more powerful than Wang Tingxuan?
If this spreads out, those scholars will go crazy?
"Li Changkong, you are so awesome!" Zhaoyang hugged Li Changkong's arm excitedly, his words jumping with joy and his expression excited.
It seemed that it was not Li Changkong who faced Qiangu Absolutely, but herself.
Li Changkong smiled, shook his head, and said, "Hurry up and pick out the gifts."
"Then let's consider this piece of jade as your gift to me. How about it?"
"You paid for these couplets, so the gifts will naturally belong to you." For Li Changkong, who owns most of the shares of Zhenguo Fast Food, these things are really not worth mentioning. He might as well give them away to show off. What a gentleman.
When Zhaoyang heard this, his eyes became brighter.
After taking the piece of jade from the stall, he took out another piece of jade from himself.
I saw that its color and texture were far superior to the ones on the stall.
After the boss saw it, his eyes shone even more. Such a gem was probably more valuable than his entire stall.
What's more important is that the word "Changkong" is written on it with iron paintings and silver hooks, which seems to be the work of a master of calligraphy.
"Daqian pays attention to courtesy and reciprocity. This is my return gift for you." Zhaoyang handed the gift to Li Changkong.
When Li Changkong saw this, he was full of doubts.
No matter how you look at this jade, it seems that it was prepared in advance, and it doesn't look like it was just a spur of the moment question: "Who are you?"
