"puff……"
"What kind of couplet is this?"
"Master Liu, don't be arty!"
Chen Xiang led a group of literati and started laughing.
"What is this? Are you sure it's a couplet?"
"Isn't this slang from somewhere?"
There are quite a lot of things to pay attention to in this couplet. Couplets are most closely related to poetry, especially rhymed poetry, in terms of content. They pay attention to the harmony of levels and neat contrasts. In terms of expression, couplets and calligraphy sculptures are closely related.
In addition to the common Spring Festival couplets, the types of couplets include longevity couplets, wedding couplets, holiday couplets, elegiac couplets, etc. When writing couplets, the author must use cursive, official, and seal scripts to show respect and caution.
To put it simply, there are several points that must be paid attention to.
The number of words is equal and the rhythm is consistent. Levels and obliques match each other, and the tones are harmonious. The parts of speech are relative and the sentence structure is the same. The content is relevant and connected from top to bottom.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Zheng's couplet came out, everyone burst into laughter.
There is no rhythm at all, no artistic conception at all.
Zheng Yueru also held back her laughter: "Brother Liu, this..."
"Isn't this a couplet?"
Everyone laughed.
I thought that the county prince could write some shocking couplets, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be such a thing.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Not a couplet?"
"Hahahaha, this was written by a five or six-year-old kid, right?"
Many of those people were already leaning on the table with laughter.
"This couplet is read like this."
Liu Zheng said calmly: "The tide of the sea rises and falls, and the tide rises and falls."
The whole place fell silent.
The smile on Zheng Yueru's face also stopped abruptly.
Is this a couplet with the same word but different pronunciation? With such a thought, the rhythm of the music and artistic conception came out all of a sudden. It turns out there is a mystery inside! Zheng Yueru's eyes lit up.
"this……"
"He is blind, he is blind!"
Chen Xiang's face turned green.
Liu Zheng continued to smile and said: "You can still read it like this." The sea tide, the tide rises and falls, the tide rises and falls! "
Everyone was shocked.
The people who had been taunting him just now suddenly changed their expressions and lowered their heads one by one. Shen Xing had already written down his words on paper and pen.
"Of course, there is another one..."
"The sea tide rises and falls, rises and falls!"
boom!
The group of people were in confusion, and everyone looked at Liu Zheng like a madman.
Either so ordinary, or so amazing?
And also…
There are so many mysteries in your couplets, how can anyone be right about it?
Many people have even started trying it on the spot.
"This way, the wind...is wrong!"
"Water? That's not right either!"
Zheng Yueru also looked at Liu Zheng blankly. Is such a tricky couplet just for the second floor? Suddenly she burst out laughing. Isn't this Liu Zheng too bad?
By doing this, you give others hope, but you are so tricky with them.
"Of course, and..."
"The tide of the sea rises and falls, and the tide rises and falls!"
"The water rises, rises, and falls!"
Bang bang bang bang!
There was one person at the scene, count one, and he was completely confused. The few literati who had almost confronted him just now had dark expressions on their faces and looked at Liu Zheng with hatred. Several people even dropped their pens and papers!
Is this still fun to play?
"The sea rises and falls, and the tide rises and falls!"
enough!
You beast!
These literati have begun to gnash their teeth with hatred.
The whole audience was equally confused.
Zheng Yueru was even dumbfounded. Where did such a monster come from? How many people can go up to the second floor if you play like this?
The whole place was extremely messy.
"Put it up!"
Liu Zheng ordered the person in charge to hang the couplet high.
"Then, where is Wangshutai?"
Zheng Yueru rubbed her temples.
Liu Zheng asked the person in charge to bring the pen again.
"The Yan Yan Yan Yan Yanyan!"
boom!
A group of literati who originally wanted to express themselves, saw these words and pretended to be fine and put down their pens.
"On the cloud?"
"Smoke Lock Pond Willow!"
Of the three couplets, we cannot say that each one is eternal, but this last one is truly eternal!
Zheng Yueru, looking at Liu Zheng at this time, was already full of shock in her eyes.
Who is this person?
How does his brain work?
She could almost imagine that once these three couplets came out, they would spread throughout the entire Longyan Dynasty after a while! It is very possible, of course, just possible, that the literati will even be attracted by this couplet and come to Fengming Tower to watch the competition. The reason why it is possible is because Yinzhou is still too barren after all.
However, this should not stop the enthusiasm of those people.
Why?
Because the official selection system of the Longyan Dynasty was still at the stage of promoting filial piety and integrity. There is no imperial examination, so literati attach great importance to fame. If they are famous all over the world, they will naturally not worry about becoming an official.
OK!
This young master of the Liu family just turned this restaurant into a place for talent selection!
Think about it, this kind of eternal absolute, if you can confront it on the spot, wouldn't your talent be incredible?
And what about people without talent?
Want to go up and watch?
Simple, spend money!
This is all linked together, what is sales? What is a businessman? This Young Master of the Liu family has really figured out the psychology of people in this society!
Zheng Yueru is now completely convinced.
In this way, can the business of this Wanhua Building... no, this Fengming Building not be booming?
"By the way, the courtesans assigned to each floor must be different!"
Liu Zheng reminded me.
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly and nodded.
This is inevitable. Now that there are levels, the oiran fans must keep up with the pace. Those with both talents, like Shen Manqing, must be in the cloud. Others that are inferior are naturally Wangshutai, Shuimoxuan, and so on. Zheng Yueru still understands this truth.
"Master Liu, you are indeed a great talent..."
Suddenly, Zheng Yueru realized that there was a real possibility of losing the gambling agreement she had signed, which made her feel a little frustrated.
Who would have thought, Liu Zheng continued to smile and said: "Of course, these things are all done slowly. Starting today, Fengming Building will be temporarily closed for remodeling, and everything will be done according to my requirements!"
“Besides, since it’s a restaurant, the most attractive thing is of course the wine!”
Liu Zheng said suddenly.
Zheng Yueru asked strangely: "Wine? Our Wan... Fengming Tower's wines are all fine wines!"
She couldn't figure it out. Is there anything that could be improved on this?
Good?
Liu Zheng immediately sneered.
Even the crudely made turbid wine he drank could be called fine wine? We can't blame them for not having enough. There are no distillers in this era, so it's impossible to make high-purity liquor.
and……
The manufacturing process of distiller’s yeast in this era was not very mature either.
Therefore, this kind of turbid wine, which is full of dregs in the mouth, is said to be a fine wine.
"this is not OK!"
Liu Zheng said decisively.
Zheng Yueru asked in surprise: "Brother Liu, can you still make wine?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Liu Zheng didn't say anything.
After staying here for so long, it’s getting late, so it’s time to go back.
"Brother Liu..."
Zheng Yueru saw Liu Zheng turn around and leave, but she was a little unresponsive.
As for Shen Manqing, she saw all Liu Zheng's performance just now. Zheng Yueru thought this person was magical, let alone her.
"Did he not even watch me take off my veil?"
suddenly.
Shen Manqing felt a little melancholy, and sadness surged in her heart.
…
"Son, I heard that you went to prodigal again, right?"
As soon as he returned to the county houfu, Liu Dahao ran out happily.
Liu Zheng's face twitched.
I'm a prodigal, are you so happy?
It seems that the news of his "shareholding" in Wanhua Tower has spread throughout the city. I'm afraid those prominent families are still enjoying themselves on the sidelines. They must have regarded him as the playboy from before.
When I first came to Yinzhou, if I bought this kind of fireworks place first, wouldn’t that be like a sensual young man?
"Dad, where are those people?"
Liu Zheng didn't answer him and looked around.
"Already almost there?"
Liu Zhengcai was surprised when he walked into the county houfu.
It turns out that in the afternoon of this day, the reconstruction of the county palace was almost complete. At this time, the windows are bright and clean, spacious and majestic, the overall work has been completed, and only some trivial things need to be dealt with. There is no formaldehyde these days, so once it is done, you can move in directly.
Liu Dahao chuckled: "I'm going back. I'm just thinking, dad, that so many people from the countryside are helping our family, it's lively and we can make money. As soon as I go back today, I will have to find a new way to make a living in the future. No It’s easy, but living is not easy.”
Liu Zheng glanced at Liu Dahao unexpectedly. He didn't expect that his father was actually a suitable person to be a parent official.
"Then let's all stay. The mansion needs people anyway."
Liu Zheng said.
Liu Dahao said happily: "My son thinks so too... It's just, it's just, these people's expenses..."
He secretly glanced at Liu Zheng and hesitated to speak.
Liu Zheng reacted immediately and laughed.
It turns out that this lovely father of mine wants to tell myself that our family has no money and we can’t be so wasteful! But he didn't want to tell him directly for fear of affecting the relationship between father and son.
Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Father, you can recruit people, but I think the county lord's palace must have not only grooms, maids, cooks and gardeners, but most importantly, soldiers!"
Liu Dahao was convinced.
In troubled times, force is the strongest!
If the two of them want to gain a foothold in Yinzhou, a powerful military force is indispensable.
But... raising soldiers is a costly matter.
Liu Zheng saw Liu Dahao's worry, stood up and patted his father on the shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, dad, you can do it. Zheng'er is no longer the Amon of yesterday. You should be your parents. As for the money matter, , let me help you find a way!"
"My son has grown up, grown up!"
Liu Dahao's eyes were red: "It doesn't matter, as long as my son is happy, five thousand taels of flower house is nothing, nothing! Your mother still has some savings!"
Liu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.
It seems that my plan to make money has to be put on the agenda this morning.
Making wine?
The brewing of koji takes time but is continuous, so start here!
