Master Lu smiled, stroked his beard, and said: "During the Lantern Festival, lanterns are everywhere. A few days ago, Magistrate Song went to the countryside to observe the people's sentiments. He came across a revolving lantern hanging at the door of a family's house, and a connection came to his mind. I have been thinking hard for several days but I still can't get an answer. Today, all the talented people in Xinghua are gathered here. I will use Song Zhixian's joint examination to test you all. Please listen carefully. This first couplet is: revolving lantern, horse moving when the light is turned off, horse stopping when the light is turned off."
As soon as this couplet came out, the county magistrate sat silently at the table, but he had a proud look on his face. This couplet of his was not simple. It was not difficult to look at, but it was actually very difficult to put it neatly. He listened to everyone discussing quietly again, and he My face has also gained a lot of brilliance. I think back then, I was born in a famous family and I haven’t done this kind of thing in many years. Today, I will show off a skill or two, so that you, the younger generation, will have a bright future.
There were many talented people at the scene. Even talented women like Shen Yuzhen and Zheng Ruoying thought hard when they heard about this couple. They wanted to match each other, so as not to weaken the reputation of their daughter's family. However, this couplet seems simple at first glance. If you think about it carefully, it must be right. It's really not easy to be neat. I bit my lip and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have a clue.
As soon as Zheng Zuliang saw this couplet, he knew that he would definitely not be able to do it today, or in the future. He wanted to see if Liang Chuan was capable, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Xu Yang originally wanted to show off his talents. How difficult could it be to get a pair, but he unexpectedly underestimated the cultural level of the old county magistrate. A pair really stumped him. Moreover, he looked at Liang Chuan's calm face, as if he had a clue. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wanting to take action in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.
Liang Chuan didn't say anything, he held his hands behind his back and looked at the stars in the sky. Master Lu couldn't help but be surprised to see that he was still interested in looking at the stars in the sky at this moment. The audience under the stage also chatted and discussed for a long time. Several famous students also frowned and no one said anything. No one could figure out the second line, so naturally no one would be in the limelight.
Master Lu estimated that no one would be able to figure out this link for a while. Liang Chuan looked calm, but if he wanted to confront him, he would be hanging. After waiting for a long time and no one said anything, Master Lu said calmly: "This pair seems simple, but it is not easy. It not only matches the meaning of today's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, but also is an inverted couplet. Mr. Xu, I don't know what you think about it. Is there a second line?"
Master Lu suddenly attacked Xu Yang. Xu Yang struggled for a long time and couldn't think of a decent second line. When Master Lu just reminded him, his face suddenly turned red like pig liver. He stood on the stage stupidly, embarrassed.
Liang Chuan smiled and sighed and said: "Master Lu, I have seen a similar couplet to this couplet before, but I borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and borrowed the couplets from my predecessors to write this couplet to you."
"Oh? Mr. Zhang actually has the second couplet." Master Lu was a little surprised. This kid could actually guess the second couplet correctly, and he didn't want to say that he had corrected it. What was he planning?
Liang Chuan said: "The first couplet of Magistrate Song is: revolving lanterns, horses running when the lights are turned off, horses stop when the lights are turned off, then my second couplet is: flying tiger flag, flying tiger flag, tiger hiding under the flag! Master Lu, what do you think?"
"Flying tiger flag, flying tiger flag, tiger hiding in flag roll." Master Lu murmured twice before blurting out a good word.
The county magistrate couldn't sit still. He didn't expect that the pair he finally thought of would be easily figured out by this kid.
Zheng Ruoying, Shen Yuzhen and the others shook their heads, still losing to them.
When Xu Qi heard that Zhang Yang was so precise, his liver-colored face immediately turned ashen. This city was captured first by Liang Chuan, and he was afraid that the title of Xinghua's most talented man would be lost to others.
Master Lu was also in a state of admiration. He had been thinking about this pairing for several days without any explanation. He just talked about it for a long time and this humble countryman actually got it right!
"Jiang people are full of talented people. Mr. Zhang is really talented. In just a few breaths, he can come up with such a neat second line. I admire him." Master Lu looked at Zheng Zuliang from the stage with a bad smile. , could it be that Officer Zheng was right and said at that time: "Officer Zheng, I have been watching you laugh for a long time on the stage. Did you also come up with the second line? Why don't you go on stage to share it?"
Zheng Zuliang was so frightened that he waved his hands and said: "Master Lu, please stop teasing me. The ink in my stomach has been exhausted a long time ago. Now it is the world of their young people. You may not know that this Liang Chuan next to you is still here." Test him with pairs."
Master Lu looked puzzled and said, "Guan Zheng, tell me carefully, why can't you test Mr. Zhang's pairing?"
Although Zheng Zuliang was sitting below at this time, he spoke clearly and said: "This Liang Chuan opened a small shop in Fengshan. He didn't sell anything in the shop, but he sold three pairs. He threatened that someone could figure it out. The reward is one hundred taels. I, Lao Zheng, was lucky enough to be in the shop on the opening day, so I added a little to the prize, making it five hundred taels!"
Five hundred taels! As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately became a little excited. This money would be hundreds of thousands of dollars in modern times. Who wouldn't be moved by it? What's more, you can take away the money just by talking.
Master Lu was greatly shocked and asked: "Guan Zheng is happy today. Master Liang Chuan has definitely corrected Song Zhixian's couplet. Why not tell the three pairs so that everyone can open their eyes and see what pairs are worth five hundred?" two."
Zheng Zuliang said: "This is a couplet at the door. No thieves can enter!" After Zheng Zuliang finished speaking, he paused deliberately and looked around. The people around him all looked like they were racking their brains to figure it out, but they couldn't hold it back. For a long while, the whole place was still silent.
After a while, Zheng Zuliang said again: "The second couplet in the middle hall is about scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants. How about levying feathers? Everyone has the confidence to come and receive these five hundred taels of rewards, haha."
When the first couplet came out, everyone knelt down. When the second couplet came out, there was no one alive. The entire terrace was in mourning, and these two couplets were also absolute, not as difficult as the revolving lantern couplet just now. Not to mention Mr. Lu, the magistrate of Song County, even the talented Xu Yangxu looked helpless after hearing this.
Zheng Zuliang liked to see everyone's frustrated expressions, and then said: "There is a third pair in the store. I, Zheng, am not talented. I didn't match the first two pairs, so naturally I have no shame to reveal the third pair. This third couplet is still hanging at the intersection of Fengshan Road. If you think your skills are passable, go ahead and give it a try. Mr. Zheng hopes that the silver reward will be given away as soon as possible!"
"That's all, I can't do anything about these two couplets, and I'm not asking for boredom. It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured. I don't know Mount Tai, and I'm still showing off my little thoughts in front of Mr. Zhang. I really let Mr. Zhang What a joke. According to what I see, Mr. Zhang will become famous all over the world sooner or later with these pairs. He dares to compete with the students all over the world when he gets Bianliang. He doesn't give in too much and stays in the small world of Fengshan. He is a talent. .”
Liang Chuan said with a smile: "Young man is not talented. This is just a side track. If you can't reach the elegant hall, how dare you dare to compete with the world's students? Master Lu is ridiculous."
At this time, Xu Yang had completely become a redundant person. He should have been the protagonist of the evening. Even Master Lu invited him to the stage just to let him show off his talents. Who knew that stealing the chicken would end up costing a handful of rice, and standing awkwardly on the stage would become Liang Chuan's embellishment.
Xu Yang was unwilling to be reduced to a foil like this, and said to Master Lu: "Master Lu, of course I am good at dealing with pairs, but it is not my greatest skill. Literary men must be good at poetry when talking about superiority. Mr. Liangchuan, you We are full of knowledge, why don’t we compete in the evening and each recite a poem or compose a lyric, what do you think?”
This Xu Yang is really shameless. In the evening, everyone saw that although his talent was high, it was still slightly inferior to Liang Chuan. He couldn't compare with others, but he actually wanted to use other methods to win back a victory for himself. It's a bit scheming.
Liang Chuan remained calm, with a calm expression on his face, and said to Xu Yang: "Master Xu, what you said is wrong. Tonight is a great day for Song Magistrate and the people to have fun together. How can it be a place for you and me to fight fiercely? But fighting over words is not a martial arts fight, it is an elegant matter, and since you brought it up, I will risk my life to accompany you like a gentleman and have fun together!"
Xu Yang snorted in his heart, "Well, fortunately, I have already thought of a poem, and I am just waiting for the opportunity like today to show my skills. It is unlucky for you to meet me, and you will make my reputation!"
Xu Yang's face cheered up when he thought of this. He swept away the previous decline. He tinkered with the folding fan in his hand, walked a few steps, and slowly chanted: "The spring breeze is early on the small peach branch, and I am trying out thin clothes for the first time. It will be fun every year." , the lanterns compete with each other, and the moon is full. The flutes and drums are banned in the street, and the night is always cold, and the slender hands are heavy. People disperse in the evening, and thousands of people are laughing, and the sound is in the curtains."
This poem describes the jubilation and joy of the Lantern Festival. It is a blend of stunning scenery and implicit. It not only expresses my own happy feelings but also the joy of the audience in the audience. It blends into the joy of the whole world. The style of the poem The fun is all top notch!
Today's lantern show was very exciting, with singing and dancing first, and then two talents from Xinghua competing on the stage. The coming and going was dizzying, and everyone was enjoying watching it.
When Shen Yuzhen saw that Xu Yang could compose such a good poem in a short period of time, she couldn't help but take a high look at this man. Zheng Ruoying had a worried look on her face. Liang Chuan sang frivolous songs every day, and he had never recited poetry. She was afraid that he would suffer a loss today.
As soon as the words were completed, Xu Yang looked at Liang Chuan with a wild laugh and said to Liang Chuan: "Master Liang Chuan, it's your turn."
Liang Chuan deliberately pretended to have a solemn face. He held his chin in his hand and thought for a long time before he said to Master Lu with a bitter look on his face: "Master Lu, can I ask someone to come on stage to add to the fun?"
"It doesn't matter if you call me Mr. Zhang." Master Lu was also looking forward to it. Judging from his experience, he was quite satisfied with this young man's performance tonight. He is young and promising.
"Xin Wubing, how about you and I dance with the sword for fun!" Liang Chuan shouted to Xin Wubing under the stage.
"It's what I asked for!" Xin Wubing looked at Liang Chuan's miraculous performance at night and was overwhelmed with admiration. Liang Chuan gave him one surprise after another, one climax after another. He was also a literati himself, and he was filled with admiration in his heart.
Xin Wubing came to the stage with his sword, and slowly pulled the sword out of its scabbard. If you ask him to come up and sing, he won't be able to do it, but he'll be a latecomer to dance with a sword! Infected by Liang Chuan's performance in the evening, he had long wanted to go on stage to show off his skills, but Liang Chuan made it happen.
Xin Wubing's swordsmanship was superb, and his dancing was very entertaining. Liang Chuan and others were impressed by Xin Wubing's swordsmanship in the Jinzun Restaurant and were stunned for a moment. Everyone at the scene had not seen Xin Wubing's swordsmanship, and they even praised him for his excellence. In this age of culture, it was rare to see such martial arts.
Just when everyone was attracted by Xin Wubing's swordsmanship, Liang Chuan was so immortal that he added another sentence: "Everyone, please pay attention, this poem I chant may be circulated for a thousand years."
Such a loud tone, everyone including Zheng Zuliang almost choked to death at his words. You should be low-key. Why do you want to be in the limelight so much?
Liang Chuan sauntered on the stage with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and swaying his head in a pretentious manner. He walked twice on the terrace, and then he swayed and said: "The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees down at night, and even more blow them down." , the stars are like rain. The fragrance of BMWs and carved cars fills the road. The sound of phoenix flutes, the light of jade pots turn, and fish and dragons dance all night. Moths and snow willows are golden threads, and laughter is filled with secret fragrance. The crowd has searched for him thousands of times, and suddenly looking back, that person But in... a dimly lit place."
When he recited that famous sentence, Liang Chuan happened to walk to a dimly lit place, pretending to raise his head to look at the bright moon, but his back was a little lonely. No one could see his expression clearly. The sword was shining brightly on the stage, and the figures were silhouetted. Xiaochuo, this word and this feeling complement each other even more!
This situation, this moment, the entire lantern festival was silent for a while. Everyone opened their eyes wide and round, and their jaws dropped to the ground in shock. .
