The creation of poems pays attention to the beauty of rhythm, that is: one rhyme to the end, neat words and sentences, and even ups and downs.
It often takes repeated deliberation and polishing to create a finished masterpiece.
Therefore, without prior knowledge, Madam Xu asked Feng Ling to fill in the lower ques while reciting the que, which is obviously difficult.
At least, Mrs. Xu thinks she can’t do it!
"Huh? City Lord, why didn't you write a single drop of ink... Did you just give up?"
Madam Xu looked at the white rice paper in front of the jade table, and there was only the name of the brand: Dielianhua.
She couldn't help but smile, looking at the stunned Feng Ling with a flowery look, and joked: "Hey, I originally meant to use the topic to tell you, but now it seems that sister Miao Shuang's love affair with her girlfriend may have no chance of being with you!"
"Mother Xu, in ancient times Cao Zijian wrote a poem in seven steps. Although I, Fengling, am not a famous teacher, I can complete and perfect a poem, so why should I be afraid?"
Hearing this, Feng Ling's brows stretched, her left hand gently rolled up her long sleeve, and her right hand held a pen dipped in two ounces of ink.
Cao Zijian? I don’t know who they are!
Madam Xu was full of doubts in her heart: I, Madam Xu, am familiar with thousands of ancient books, but why have I never heard of such a figure in the history of Ghost Continent?
Could it be that I am really ignorant?
Hey, it seems like you have to keep your expression calm, don't let him see it, and you should study more!
Feng Ling didn't know that Madam Xu was made to doubt her own knowledge by an ancient Chinese figure, so she raised her eyes and said: "Madam Xu, Feng is going to make a fool of himself, and the lower part of the palace also rhymes with "Excuse", please come closer and have a look! "
"Well, you have an idea so quickly?"
Madam Xu quickly put aside her troubled thoughts and was moved after hearing the news. She had expectations in her heart, but she also felt that Feng Ling was being pushed too hard.
So, she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, and while moving forward, she deliberately said: "Actually, this is difficult, so don't rush it. If you can complete it within three days, I will consider you to have passed!"
However, what Mrs. Xu didn't expect was that not only did the other party not respond, but she was already in a good mood.
"Dielianhua·Lantern Festival Nostalgic"
Holy Lantern Festival\/Flower Moon\/Day.
Ten miles away, there are noisy sounds, bursts of sheng and Xiao.
Zhu Cui\/leaning on the railing\/throwing colorful embroidery,
Nanke\/Yimeng\/A long life! "
I saw that Feng Ling was muttering and recalling Shangque, and at the same time using his ink pen to improvise, he said clearly on the rice paper:
The city is prosperous\/Dragon Rat\/Blessed.
Hundreds of households are full of customs and lanterns.
A gentleman\/bends\/adds wine and teaches,
Before the case\/ten thousand volumes\/Ming Xi memorialized.
"Hey! Is it really possible?"
Madam Xu quickly stepped forward, picked up the rice paper and tasted it, and praised with disbelief: "Young Master is really graceful and elegant in his words. His improvisation alone has already reached the level of a masterpiece!"
"The pearls and jade in the palace represent a woman dressed in fine clothes, and they complement each other perfectly when paired with a gentleman!"
Suddenly, Madam Xu seemed to have discovered a flaw, she frowned slightly and asked for advice: "However, Madam Xu is always not very proud of the 'Longshu You' that corresponds to 'Huayuezhi'. I wonder if the young master can explain it to Madam Xu." Confused, what does it mean: Longshuyou?"
Hearing this, Feng Ling blurted out: "Looking at the literal meaning, this is not difficult to understand! Longshuyou means: praying for the blessings of the dragon and the mouse!"
After saying that, Feng Ling realized it later and couldn't help but add tentatively, "Has Madam Xu heard of the folk customs of the Lantern Festival: the dragon lantern dance and the rat-chasing feast?"
"Rat-Chasing Banquet?"
But seeing that, Madam Xu first nodded "Yeah," then pondered and shook her head.
Obviously, Madam Xu is aware of the existence of the custom of 'dragon lantern dancing' in Ghost Continent, and she also fully agrees with the statement that people pray to the dragon for blessings.
However, will there really be people who would pray to the rat-born 'Child God' for blessings?
And since it is to pray for the blessing of the Son God, why is it also called the Rat-Chasing Feast? Isn't this self-contradictory and causing the displeasure of 'Zi Shen'?
Thinking of this, Madam Xu suddenly felt that Feng Ling was deliberately teasing and insulting her IQ. Her face gradually changed and her chest rose slightly with anger.
"Don't be upset, Madam! There is indeed something about this rat-chasing feast. You should just listen to a story, a story from my distant hometown!"
With that said, Feng Ling explained in detail to Madam Xu the custom of the ancient Huaxia Kingdom in her previous life: the rat chasing banquet.
Madam Xu's eyes sparkled when she heard this. Not only did her anger subside, but she also felt ashamed of her own ignorant and rude behavior.
But it is said that there is a Chinese custom: the rat-chasing feast, which is mainly a tribute feast held by sericulture families.
Because rats often eat large tracts of silkworms at night, people have a superstitious belief that if they feed rats rice porridge on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they will stop eating silkworms.
Therefore, people would cook a large pot of sticky porridge in advance on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Some sincere people would cover it with a layer of meat, serve the porridge in bowls, and place it in houses where rats often roam. Ceilings, corners, beams and columns, etc.
And during this process, they would put it while mumbling words, cursing the mice that if they ate the tributes, they would die a good death if they ate the silkworm treasures again.
The Rat Chasing Feast, hence the name!
The correct answer is: first entertain the rats with a tribute banquet, then pray to the rats to protect them from eating silkworm treasures, and finally curse and expel the offending rats.
"Feng Ling, before I start talking about my grievances, Madam Xu would like to give you a warning: There is not much time left for you and Miss Miao Shuang!"
Suddenly, Xu Niang carefully put away the rice paper with the lyrics and sighed: "Originally, I also thought that your cultivation was far from enough to win the first place on the list and protect her happiness, but now It seems that there may be a chance for a reversal!"
