"Liu Shui Stringless Wangu Qin?"
"Okay! That's right! I didn't expect you, a bitch slave, to be really talented!"
Ji Yunlan's beautiful eyes lit up and she clapped her hands in excitement.
Zizhu and Qing'er looked at each other, unable to conceal the shock in their eyes. Xiao Chenzi... actually faced each other!
"Master Cen, am I worthy enough to compete with you?"
Xiao Chen grinned and slightly arched his hands towards Master Cen again.
"qualifications……"
A flash of surprise flashed through Master Cen's clear eyes, and he looked at Xiao Chen seriously.
During the Chu Dynasty, the writing style declined.
The poems and lyrics even go astray towards being rigid and gaudy!
There are naturally not many people who are good at couplets. He is already at the top level in this way.
But even so, Mr. Cen took a long time to think about the first couplet just now before he came up with the second couplet. Moreover, in terms of neatness and artistic conception, it was far inferior to the little eunuch in front of him!
"Master Cen, why don't you speak?"
Ji Yunlan's eyes were sly, and she deliberately provoked him: "Are you afraid?"
As soon as these words came out, Master Cen immediately came back to his senses.
He snorted coldly and shook his sleeves, "How can I be afraid of an eunuch? In that case, let's compete!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Cen walked directly to the table, picked up the brush and started drawing directly on the paper.
After a few breaths.
The pen stops, the ink stops!
Master Cen picked up the still-dry paper on the table and opened it towards Xiao Chen, "This is my second couplet!"
Several people in Diechi Palace turned their attention at the same time.
On that paper, there was a picture of wind and snow.
In the windy and snowy countryside, a single tree forms a bridge, and a yellow dog walks alone on the bridge.
In the snow, a few black crows were spreading their wings and jumping.
Ji Yunlan snorted coldly and said in a cold voice, "Master Cen, aren't you comparing couplets? Are you deliberately making things difficult by showing me the painting?"
Seeing that Xiao Chen had a chance to defeat Mr. Cen and save herself from having to listen to the old man's nagging in the future, the Sixth Princess immediately sided with Xiao Chen.
"Princess, this painting is a couplet!"
Master Cen smiled meaningfully, "If this eunuch can't even read the first couplet, there will be no need to compete next time!"
Ji Yunlan bit her silver teeth, and this damn old man pulled out his beard in no time!
Thinking about it, Ji Yunlan snorted coldly, glared at Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Chenzi! Do you see this couplet?"
Xiao Chen took a step forward and nodded, "This couplet is about the yellow dog crossing the frost bridge and the plum blossoms falling to the ground! Mr. Cen, am I right?"
Master Cen's pupils shrank, he was seen again!
This first couplet was something he found out from ancient books. There were only a few people in Dachu who could see the first couplet, and there was no one who could correctly match the second couplet, not even himself!
He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Not bad! But what if you can figure out the first couplet? Maybe you can figure out the second couplet?"
"Okay! Xiao Chenzi, quickly match the second couplet!"
Ji Yunlan was overjoyed and walked forward directly and patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder, "As long as you can beat this old man, I, the princess, will be rewarded!"
Xiao Chen grinned, "Of course I have this second couplet, Master Cen, please listen carefully..."
In Diechi Palace, four pairs of eyes focused on him at the same time.
And in the expectation of several people.
Xiao Chen also slowly recited the second couplet, "The second couplet is... I'm going to pay tribute, the stinky smell is terrible!"
"..."
"..."
Inside the Butterfly Pond Palace, there was silence for an instant.
Ji Yunlan, Zizhu, and Qing'er were stunned. Even if their talents and learning were not as good as ordinary children, they could still hear how vulgar this second couplet was!
Master Cen's old face turned red even more, "How dare you, a eunuch, humiliate me like this? The artistic conception of this second couplet is as different as the first couplet. How can you, how can you be right about this?"
"Princess! This dog slave has been defeated. According to the bet, I don't want this eunuch's life! I only want to fight for fifty and punish him for his rude behavior!"
Before Ji Yunlan could speak, Xiao Chen chuckled, "Master Cen, I have more than one couplet in this couplet."
"Oh? Do you have another second line?"
Master Cen said mockingly, and when he heard the second couplet just now, he was already sure that the eunuch couldn't answer the couplet!
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Chen did have some real talent and learning, he would definitely not have spared his life!
"Of course! And the second couplet is in this painting!"
The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up, "The crow is jumping on the snow, and the bamboo leaves are pointing up to the sky! I wonder, Master Cen, is this couplet right for me?"
hiss!
Master Cen's expression suddenly changed, and his old body trembled.
Crows dance in the snow, and bamboo leaves look up to the sky!
Absolutely!
This is absolute!
It is also the scene in the painting, and the artistic conception is integrated with the first couplet!
Why didn't I think of that? !
For a moment, Master Cen looked at Xiao Chen as if he were looking at a treasure, but at the same time it was extremely complicated.
Such a great talent.
It's a pity... he's a eunuch!
At this time, Xiao Chen stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Master Cen, does this mean that the villain wins?"
Hearing this, Ji Yunlan's excitement was almost beyond words, "Master Cen, according to the bet, you don't have to come to give lectures to my princess anymore!"
Master Cen was silent for a moment.
He knew in his heart that if Xiao Chen could match the couplet just now, he would have already lost. However, giving lectures to the princess was an order given by the emperor. If he left like this, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, Master Cen said: "Princess, I haven't lost yet. Just two couplets were just a small test, and then came the real competition... Listen up, you dog slave. Green Water has nothing to worry about. Because of the wind, Wrinkled face!”
Seeing that he wanted to compete, Ji Yunlan frowned and cursed in his heart, this old guy is really shameless!
However, there was no trace of panic on Xiao Chen's face, and he said calmly: "The green mountains are not old, but their heads are as white as snow!"
"Come again! Big Dipper, the bottom of the water reaches the sky, fourteen o'clock!"
Master Cen directly read out what he had seen before.
"Lone geese come from the south, with shadows in the moon, and fly together!"
Xiao Chen said it again, he barely had any time to think before blurting it out!
"A cup of tea will quench your thirst!"
Master Cen gritted his teeth and made another couplet!
Xiao Chen still didn't need to think, and said lightly: "The main purpose of the five-character quatrain is Shi Shi Shi Shi!"
“A lonely tree is a tree, and a tree is a tree!”
"Three people are human beings, and everyone should follow the crowd."
"..."
The two of them talked very fast, and in the time it took to drink tea, they had already exchanged more than a dozen words.
At this time, Master Cen felt his mouth was dry, and he quickly grabbed the tea beside him and drank it all in one gulp. He looked at Xiao Chen as if he were looking at another monster.
He recited the entire Da Chu Absolute.
The result...all matched!
After today, there will be no more absolutes in Da Chu!
And after Xiao Chen heard those dozen couplets, he also knew that the old man wanted to play rogue. If he continued like this, when would the outcome be determined?
A great scholar of his generation is so shameless!
Then why should I show mercy to him again?
Xiao Chen snorted coldly and came to Master Cen, "Master Cen, I have a first couplet. As long as you can match the second couplet, I will admit defeat!"
"This first couplet is... Yansuo Pondliu!"
