Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but no one dares to stand up and verify the nonsense.
The so-called verification, to put it bluntly, is actually a challenge.
Everyone knew that although Hu Yan was bullied by Yan Qi and fell into defeat, it was because Yan Qi had caught him morally and as a professor.
However, when it comes to knowledge, who is qualified to challenge nonsense?
Even Han Qin, who was also a candidate, was inferior to Hu Yan, and Xu Songhua, the former candidate, was just a small role in front of Hu Yan.
Nonsense is also a big banner when it comes to knowledge in Jinling City.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
As for Hu Yan, he looked at everyone with his eyes shining, full of confidence.
Seeing that no one at the scene dared to answer, Hu Yan tied his beard and said with great satisfaction: "Everyone, I, Hu Yan, am a high-ranking official, how can I be timid? I think back then, I won 12 consecutive public evaluations with my couplets, and became famous in Jinling. . Haha, now, I want to see who dares to challenge me?"
After half a stick of incense, no one dared to stand up.
Hu Yan laughed loudly, flicked his sleeves, pointed at everyone and shouted: "Why are you all silent? Didn't you shout happily just now? Come on, challenge me, don't you want to depose me? Just stand up if you have the guts. , I won’t refuse anyone who comes. Unfortunately, you are just a bunch of losers and have no courage.”
Everyone's cheeks were burning and flushed.
Hu Yan suddenly looked at Han Qin again: "Have you always wanted to be Lin Ruoshan's teacher? This is your chance. If you challenge me, if you beat me, you can be Lin Ruoshan's teacher. The question is Yes, do you dare? Are your knowledge as profound as mine?"
Han Qin couldn't hold it in until his face turned red, but he didn't have the guts to challenge Hu Yan.
Hu Yan laughed loudly and looked at Lin Ruoshan who looked embarrassed: "Ruoshan, just be my student. You see, even Han Qin has flinched, who dares to challenge me? You, give up, don't even think about it. Recognize me as your master."
Lin Ruoshan was helpless and scared, trembling.
"No one challenges you? Why don't you let me throw stones at you?"
Thunder breaks out from the ground!
A loud laugh broke the dull anger.
Yan Qi strolled leisurely and stood in the field, facing the nonsense, her eyes full of confidence.
"you?"
Hu Yan laughed loudly: "Haha, I can't believe it. A little book boy who doesn't understand poetry, books, etiquette, dares to challenge me to raise a person. This is like a small tree shaking a tree, it's ridiculous, you don't know what to do." Aren’t you afraid of embarrassment and shame?”
Yan Qidao: "It's true that I am a young book boy, and I have not studied for a few years, but as the young master's book boy, of course I have to think about the young master's future. Even though my knowledge is not as good as yours, for the sake of the young master, I Even if I have to bite the bullet, I still have to challenge you, even if it is embarrassing and humiliating, I will admit it."
When Lin Ruoshan heard this, he couldn't help but be moved: "Yan Qi, you are dedicated to me. I will remember this in my heart. I am really happy to have a book boy like you."
Wang Zhibai also gave a thumbs up: "The most important thing for a scholar is integrity. Brother Yan's integrity is as strong as the forest. We must not be in a hurry."
Sun Sheng also hurriedly followed: "Brother Yan, although you have the courage to fight, no matter you win or lose, in my eyes, Brother Yan is a real man, and we will support you."
…
Many talented people also spoke highly of Yan Qi.
Yan Qi snickered in his heart.
Hehe, Brother Qi, I just said a few words of humility, but you really thought I would lose.
This move of mine is called suppressing first and then rising.
Show weakness first, win the support of everyone, then show your strength, kill the nonsense, and decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
Brother Qi, I am so smart.
Hu Yan was also very happy in his heart. If Han Qin really stood up to challenge him, although he could win in the end, it would definitely not be easy. After all, Han Qin was also a judge.
But who is Yan Qi, a little servant?
In terms of knowledge, he is simply inferior.
He thought he could fight me after defeating Xu Songhua? It's just a daydream.
As a master-level scholar, I will be afraid of you.
Hu Yan stared at Yan Qi and sneered: "Little book boy, you really don't know how high the world is. Today, I will give you a chance to challenge me. Tell me, poetry, books, etiquette, music, and classics, which one do you want to challenge? Just choose Bar."
Yan Qidao: "This is the school, which is considered your home court. Guests and hosts are welcome, it's up to you."
Hu Yan laughed wildly: "The little book boy is indeed arrogant. Well, in that case, just choose my weakest couplet."
Shhhhh!
There were boos.
Everyone knows that Hu Yan's skills in couplets are extremely profound.
To deal with Yan Qi, a little servant, he actually used his most powerful knowledge. This is really a bargain.
Moreover, he actually said that the couplet is the weakest, which is extremely hypocritical.
Han Qin and others were about to remind Yan Qi not to compete with Hu Yan in couplets.
But Yan Qi ridiculed the nonsense: "You just said that you have won 12 games in a row with the help of couplets. It seems that your knowledge of couplets is indeed very weak."
"this……"
Hu Yan's face turned red.
Although he was ridiculed by Yan Qi, he did everything he could to win the game.
Hu Yan shouted loudly: "Okay, since you don't object, it means you agree. Now, let's set a rule. I will play three couplets first and see how many you can match. You will play three more couplets and let's see. How about if we can match up with a few, whoever gets more right will win in the end?"
Yan Qi said casually: "That's it. However, I think I only prepare one couplet. It's up to you."
"The little book boy is really arrogant to the extreme."
I couldn't bear the nonsense, so I shouted loudly: "Okay, let's start the competition. I'll give the question first."
When everyone heard that the competition was about to begin, they were immediately silent.
Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what difficult couplets the nonsense would come up with.
This kind of competition is really rare. Let’s not talk about Yan Qi’s level, but the nonsense couplet will definitely make people amazed.
Hu Yan saw Yan Qi playing with the folding fan with both hands, and the folding fan was made of wood. He immediately taunted: "Two apes cut the wood, let's see how the monkeys fight against each other."
Everyone exclaimed and understood.
Nonsense called Yan Qi a monkey. The antithesis, that is, the meaning of the couplet, can be described as a pun.
Meaning: Can monkeys also know couplets?
He is so quick-witted and really has the talent to lift people up.
Lin Ruoshan panicked, looked at Yan Qi distractedly, and thought sadly: It's over, this is not only a test of literary talent, but also a test of quick wit. How can Yan Qi match such a clever first couplet? "
Yan Qi was calm and looked at the water stains and mud at Hu Yan's feet, and immediately replied: "The horse is stuck in the mud. I want to ask the old beast how to get out of the hoof?"
As soon as this pair appeared, everyone exclaimed, and then burst into warm applause.
Wang Zhibai laughed loudly: "Brother Yan is so talented. He compares nonsense to an old beast. The metaphor of the bull and the fork. The old beast has its hooves. Isn't it the meaning of the old beast's question? Bull, cow, cow! This competition is really interesting. head!"
