Tang Ping was not annoyed after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Although I didn't buy it with money, I did not write this poem."
"Ha, you do have some self-awareness!" The Fifth Young Master Wang sneered, as if he felt that he had regained his face.
"Then I wonder who wrote this poem?" Yun Wuyue didn't believe it. Such words naturally appeared recently, but if it was not written by Tang Ping, who should it be?
Although there is no intellectual copyright in this era, most literati have good reputations. There is no reason to write such a poem that can be passed down through the ages, but not publish it yourself, right?
"It's a man named Su Shi."
"Su Shi?"
"Have you heard of it?"
"I've never heard of such a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty!"
"Is it from Dongyue or Beiyan?"
"I don't know. I just came back from Beiyan and Dongyue last month, and I haven't heard of any talented person with this name."
Everyone on the fourth floor was talking a lot. Gossip is human nature. Needless to say, this poem can be spread throughout Chang'an in only three or two days. If you can figure out which talent did it, it will be a good talking point.
For a woman like Yun Wuyue, or her career determines it, as long as she is a famous talent, there is no one she doesn’t know about. The person Tang Ping is talking about named Su Shi has never heard of her, and she doesn’t know that he is someone unknown. The famous gifted scholar was made up by this Mr. Tang whom she could not see through.
You must know that if other young people came up to toast at this time, even if he did not write the poem himself, they would probably be vague and would not admit it so generously.
"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Tang for giving this poem to the little girl to sing." After saying this, Yun Wuyue picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Everyone on the fourth floor was a bit drunk now, and now they vaguely regarded Tang Ping as being in the same category as them, so at this time they all clapped and hooted, asking Tang Ping to have a drink too.
Tang Ping had no choice but to have a drink before everyone gave up.
Normally he was the center in Taiyuan, but after coming to Chang'an, he was surrounded by a group of talented people who flattered him so much that he was actually left out in the cold for a while.
How could he endure this?
He couldn't help but said: "It's a banquet, how can we have wine without ordering? It just so happens that everyone in Yun is here, why don't we make a drinking order?"
As soon as he said this, he felt that Wang Qingluan, who had never looked at him in the eyes, looked at him with a strange look.
But he didn't know it yet, he just felt that he had finally caught Wang Qingluan's attention, and he became even more proud.
Normally he would not be so exaggerated, but today he was attracted by Wang Qingluan's unique temperament and always wanted to show off in front of her. In addition, a few days ago, Yun Wuyue rejected him but agreed to Tang Ping, which made him even more excited. His inexplicable desire to win arose.
Before Tang Ping could speak, he heard Wang Qingluan beside him say: "Okay, why don't you let Mr. Wang come up with the question first?"
In Dongyue, Prince Zheng was already famous for his talent and learning. As big as she was, she only lost so miserably when she met Tang Ping.
Sometimes when a person is abused, he hopes that there are others who will be abused like him. Now Wang Qingluan just wants to see how the Fifth Young Master Wang seeks abuse on his own.
What she didn't know was that when she said this, the fifth young master Wang became even more excited. He shook his head and said, "I have a pair. I wonder if Mr. Tang can match them?"
After saying that, he took out his folding fan and pointed in the air while chanting: "Smoke locks the pond willow!"
This pair was mentioned by another talented person when they were getting together a few days ago. It is said that it came from Dongyue Wanghai Tower. Since this pair was created, no one has been able to pass the pair for almost three months. Zi climbed to the top floor of Wanghai Tower.
You must know that talented people have been born in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times. Now that East Vietnam is prosperous, the literati there like to play with these things. However, no one can match this pair in East Vietnam for three months. You can imagine how difficult it is.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Tang Ping with a stern look on his face.
Tang Ping did not expect that he would actually come up with this pair. There are many theories about the origin of this pair. Some said it came from Tang poetry, some said it came from Chen Zisheng in the Ming Dynasty, and some said it came from Qianlong.
Now it seems that the first theory is the most reliable. The fact that such a pair can be passed down for thousands of years is enough to prove that it is a classic.
But it is a pity that the fifth young master Wang met Tang Ping.
According to the rules, the loser usually drinks a glass of wine in this situation, so Tang Ping picked up a wine glass and called a waiter to fill it up with Erguotou.
"Shopkeeper Tang is giving up?"
"Is this a difficult pair?"
Other wealthy businessmen nearby were talking about it.
"Bah, it's more than difficult!" A wealthy businessman whispered: "I just came back from East Vietnam a few days ago. This pair was hung in Wanghai Tower. They couldn't meet each other for three months. I heard the talented man over there explain that this pair Although the pair seems to have only five characters, the radicals of the five characters are all elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!"
After the wealthy businessman explained, the others realized the difficulty of this pairing, and they all began to feel resentful for Tang Ping in their hearts.
As a result, after Tang Ping poured a glass of wine over there, without stopping, he called the waiter over and filled a glass of Wuliang wine.
Then there was another cup of Daqu, a cup of Laojiao, and a cup of Nanchun.
This series left others stunned for a moment.
The fifth young master Wang said with a victor's smile: "Shopkeeper Tang, if you lose, you can just punish yourself with a drink."
"I know, I know!" Tang Pingping expressionlessly picked up the cup of Erguotou, but did not raise his head to drink it, but placed it in front of Young Master Wang.
"Shopkeeper Tang, what are you..."
Tang Ping looked up at him and said softly: "Jinghan Huoshudi!"
The five words were not loud, but the entire fourth floor of Xihe Tower could still hear them clearly.
"Mirror with fire and tree embankment?" Yun Wuyue's eyes lit up: "The first couplet describes the scene of the smoky pond, and the second couplet describes the beauty of the reflection of the water in the pond. The five elements are opposite to each other, and the five elements are misplaced. Mr. Tang, it's seconds!"
Then everyone saw Tang Ping slightly nodding to Yun Wuyue, then picking up the glass of Wuliang wine and placing it in front of Young Master Wang.
Everyone was shocked. Seeing how many glasses of wine he had just poured, could it be that each glass of wine meant that he could make a second line?
You must know that this couplet has been hanging in Wanghailou, the largest restaurant in Fuyang City, the capital of the entire East Yue Kingdom, for almost three months.
Sure enough, just when everyone was doubting, Tang Ping looked at the Fifth Young Master Wang as before and said softly: "Feng Ronghai Yanqiu."
Although this second line seems not as good as Jinghan Huoshudi just now, it is at least right.
Then came the third glass of wine "Fengshu Town Sesha."
The fourth glass of wine "Peach Burns Jinjiang Embankment."
The fifth glass of wine "Lamps are sold on the river bridge."
When five glasses of wine were placed in front of Fifth Young Master Wang, even Wang Qingluan was moved again.
The upper and lower couplets of the fifth sentence have a unified artistic conception. When the fog rises and the lights go out, two, four and five are opposite each other. River dam and pond are two parallel nouns facing each other, and even the order of the five elements is the same.
Looking at the fifth young master, his whole face turned pale.
