Tuoba Yanran's expression was calm, without any anger, with a friendly and encouraging look, and she asked with a smile: "Which great scholar does your surname come from?"
Zhao Shan said: "I am Zhao Hao, Haotian's Hao. He has no sect inheritance and is just an ordinary scholar."
Tuoba Yanran praised: "Master Zhao comes from a humble background, but he can stand up for himself. It's admirable. Please teach me."
Zhao Shan said calmly: "When I was studying for enlightenment, my tutor said that drug couplets are the simplest. You only need to understand the drugs. For example, this couplet of yours, please listen to my second couplet."
"The red lady wears gold hairpins and silver flowers, which are five times better than peonies and peonies. When Cistanche leaves the pavilion, she looks like a mica fairy."
"The princess's first couplet contains the Chinese herbal medicines Pulsatilla, Euphorbia, Seahorse, Equisetum, Grass Bandit, Lily, Xuanfu, General and Guolao. My second couplet is Red Lady, Golden Hairpin, Silver Flower, Peony, Peony, Five times, Cistanche, mica and nine kinds of Chinese medicine."
"It's really simple!"
Zhao Shan shook his head and said with emotion: "It's not that the great scholars don't stand up, it's that this couplet is too simple. If someone with status competes with you, it's bullying the small. If they don't come, I'm from a humble background." The boy reluctantly gave it a try."
boom! !
There was a buzz of discussion all around.
The scholars in Daqian looked excited and even more happy. Especially Zhao Shan's words regained his face again.
The scholars cheered and the scene was very lively.
Wei Fengqing looked at Zhao Shan who was swaying freely, his eyes sparkling. She has been following Zhao Shan and knows Zhao Shan's martial arts and methods. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shan was so talented.
Wei Fengqing touched the hairpin on her head and looked at Zhao Shan even more absent-mindedly.
Your Majesty is truly a heavenly being.
Tuoba Yanran's eyes are also bright, and the couplets are very well written, with very neat top and bottom lines.
Tuoba Yanran was surprised, but not panicked. She had seen this kind of scene too many times. When she was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, she often participated in literary gatherings and competed in poems, poems, verses, and couplets.
Tuoba Yanran said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Young Master Zhao is very talented in literature. I have prepared a poem for you. I also asked Mr. Zhao and other great sages to give me some advice."
Zhao Shan stopped him and said, "It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. Princess Tuoba challenged me with a pair of couplets, so you have to accept one from me, right?"
Tuoba Yanran pursed her lips and smiled.
She has a bright smile and bright eyes, which makes people like her very much.
Tuoba Yanran said quickly: "Young Master Zhao is very elegant, so the little girl will accompany him to the end. The little girl is not talented, and she once singled out fifteen people in the Northern Wei Dynasty who were best at couplets. Now that Mr. Zhao has appeared in the first couplet, I am honored to do so. caught my interest."
Zhao Shan said calmly: "In the barbarian land of the Northern Wei Dynasty, a group of frogs in the well, even if there is a challenge, how difficult can it be? Princess Tuoba, you must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world, so you should be more modest."
Tuoba Yanran said happily: "The little girl is happy when she hears the Tao, and she is even more happy when she meets a strong man. Mr. Zhao, please!"
"listen!"
Zhao Shan's eyes were bright and he said: "In the middle of Shu in Daqian Yizhou, there is an attic called Wangjiang Tower. There is a river flowing next to the attic. I took this opportunity to write a couplet. Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang River, Watch the river flow from Wangjiang Tower, the river tower will last forever, and the river will flow forever!"
brush!
Tuoba Yanran's expression changed drastically.
This couplet must have pictures, artistic conception, and depth, and the Wangjiang Tower and the river should set off each other. The last two sentences, "Jiang Tower is eternal, and the river is eternal," elevate the level of the couplet.
This is a couplet through the ages.
Gudong!
Tuoba Yanran swallowed her saliva and looked shocked. She quickly started thinking about how to write a couplet. However, according to the couplet rules taught to him by the teacher, the sky is opposite to the earth, and the rain is to the wind. It is difficult to put the mountain flowers to use against the sea trees and the red sun against the sky.
Zhao Shan smiled contemptuously and said in a deep voice: "Can't you forgive Princess Tuoba? Let's do this. I'll give you a simpler couplet. Choose an ordinary one. This couplet is called 'Yansuo Pond Liu'."
Tuoba Yanran's eyes lit up.
This couplet is so right.
But when Tuoba Yanran was thinking, the pupils in his eyes shrank, showing a look of horror.
wrong!
The difficulty of this couplet is even more difficult than the couplet in Wangjiang Tower just now.
The smoke lock pond willow contains metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and in one sentence it depicts a quiet pond with green willows surrounded by smoke, which is a wonderful sight. Tuoba Yanran frowned deeply, and the proud look on her face disappeared, replaced by solemnity.
I met an expert.
Zhao Hao is definitely not an ordinary person.
Tuoba Yanran turned her eyes and looked in the direction of her people in the audience. But when she looked over, the people from the Northern Wei Dynasty mission had no choice but to shake their heads.
Tuoba Yanran's heart sank, and she took a deep breath and said, "The two couplets painted by Mr. Zhao are both eternal and absolute. I can't get them right. What is the second couplet?"
Zhao Shan chuckled and said: "About the second line of the couplet, it is another matter. If the princess comes up with equal conditions, for example, the princess is willing to be my maid, I can tell you that she is not an outsider after all."
boom! !
There was laughter all around.
The previously defeated Daqian scholars were in a good mood, and some even shouted Zhao Hao's mighty words and ridiculed Tuoba Yanran.
Tuoba Yanran's face turned blue and white, and she was no longer as calm as before.
Tuoba Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "Did Mr. Zhao use such an excuse because he didn't have a second line?"
Zhao Shan took a step closer to Tuoba Yanran. At close range, he could feel the masculine scent blowing towards his face. Moreover, Zhao Shan was tall, handsome and elegant, which made Tuoba Yanran's heart skip a beat.
Tuoba Yan then took a step back, stabilized her figure, and asked once again, "It seems that Mr. Zhao really can't come up with the second couplet?"
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Princess Tuoba, do you dare to make a bet in front of the great officials? If I write the second line, you will be my maid unconditionally. If I can't write the second line, you will be my maid unconditionally." , or the second line is asymmetrical, it’s up to you to do whatever you want, do you dare?”
Kick! Kick!
Tuoba Yan then took two steps back, suppressed by Zhao Shan's momentum, and felt even more complicated.
To gamble or not?
"Princess, you can't gamble."
"Princess, there is no need to bet with him. You are a rich man and he is a trafficker. Betting with him will bring shame on you."
"Princess, please think again."
The people accompanying Tuoba Yanran spoke one after another and continued to persuade.
Zhao Shan wanted to test Tuoba Yanran further and continued to say provocatively: "Princess Tuoba, it's okay to admit defeat. Just think that I'm bluffing. In fact, there is no second line. This way you don't have any worries and can just admit defeat."
"No, I want to bet."
Tuoba Yanran's eyes were bright, and she said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao, I am a princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty. I have a sensitive status and cannot be your maid. I will change the condition. If you give a suitable couplet, I am willing to discuss the couplet. , I would like to apologize to Da Qian Shizi and acknowledge the accomplishments of Da Qian Shizi’s couplets. In addition, I will promise you one more personal condition."
Zhao Shan wanted to further attack Tuoba Yanran and said with a smile: "My personal conditions are very simple. If you lose, just give me a kiss. I have been a jade for twenty years and it will be easier for you. As for the apology, Da Gan doesn't need it. Because your slighting will not affect the majesty and splendor of Daqian."
"you……"
Tuoba Yanran was so angry that her breathing became rapid, and her chest trembled slightly, highlighting her unique style.
Zhao Shan spread his hands and said: "Princess Tuoba, if I lose, I will let you do whatever you want. Don't you even dare to kiss me? I heard that women in the Northern Wei Dynasty dare to love and hate. Why is the princess procrastinating? That's all, you If you don’t want to, forget it.”
"I do!"
Tuoba Yanran gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhao, please."
Tuoba Yanran stared at Zhao Shan with determination in her eyes.
When she was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, she collected a collection of couplets, but she had never seen such a couplet. She believed that there was no second couplet, and continued to urge: "Master Zhao, I agreed to your bet, so don't wait any longer."
Zhao Shan said simply and neatly: "Princess, listen up, the second couplet of Wangjiang Tower is Yinyuejing, Yiyueying, Yinyuejingyueyueyin, Yueyingyin ten thousand years, Yueying ten thousand years."
