It is true that Han Qi and Xia Song are mortal enemies, but he is not the kind of fool who can't figure things out in politics. He knows better than anyone how to bow his head!
The moment he came back from Guyuan, he realized that the situation in the court had changed so much. The traitor Jia Chaochang came to power and violently suppressed them, the veterans of the Western Army. They were forced to fight against each other until they were not on good terms with each other at first!
When he heard that Fan Zhongyan had sent a basket of eggs to the Xia Mansion, he couldn't sit still! If he doesn't get rid of anything, he won't let others laugh at him because he has no sense, and his reputation will not be good in the future!
Without stopping, Han Qi gave Xia Xue a pair of bracelets, and even took the initiative to go to Fan Zhongyan's house and invite him to come to Xia's house to congratulate him!
The four of them got together by chance!
When the four of them arrived at the Xia Mansion, they were really shocked by Sun Houpu's powerful financial strength. It means that Sun Houpu's academic achievements were not at all, but the quality and quantity of the money could completely make up for his shortcomings in other aspects!
You are so damn rich!
Liang Chuan looked at the posture of these four great gods blocking the gate of Xia Mansion and could only laugh and said: "The auspicious time is coming soon, why don't you all go in and have a few glasses of wedding wine together!"
Yan Shu led the wedding team to block it and said: "Don't be in a hurry, as usual we have to embarrass the groom!"
Liang Chuan's mouth twitched, you guys really took it!
Sun Houpu knew that the total amount of ink in his stomach was less than two taels. How could he compare with these great talents who were extremely talented and knowledgeable? Now I am going to make a fool of myself in front of my father-in-law!
Start emergency response plan immediately!
Liang Chuan glanced at Sun Houpu inadvertently. Sun Houpu cleverly clapped his hands to the guys behind him. The guys immediately moved the treasure out. Ouyang Xiu took a look and his breathing immediately became anxious.
What was taken out? Wei Luan's "Picture of Luyan", Li Sixun's "Picture of Jiangfan Pavilion", Zhan Ziqian's "Picture of Spring Outing Yang Sheng" and Yang Sheng's "Picture of Mangroves in Autumn Mountains", several of them were written by everyone in the Tang Dynasty!
What a baby!
Even a tough guy like Fan Zhongyan, who doesn't know much about oil and salt, is very excited when he sees these famous paintings. Scholars like these calligraphy and paintings the most, which are too hard to use as papyrus. Please take one back and hang it in the most conspicuous place in your home to comment on it during the New Year. For a moment, it’s more enjoyable than drinking alcohol and eating meat!
Anyway, as long as you have money, you can buy them. In Sun Houpu's eyes, these calligraphy and paintings are commodities. Commodities have value. If they are not used, they are no different from waste paper!
These were originally intended to be gifts for Xia Song, but giving them all money to Xia Song would be a bit too deliberate! I never thought that these calligraphy and paintings would come in handy at this time!
"Send one to each adult!"
Is this a gift? The four of them were all stunned to see it. Any painting bought at the flower and bird market would be worth the price of a nice house. Moreover, most of these calligraphy and paintings are in the hands of some wealthy families and cannot be seen on the market!
They are here to give gifts to attend a wedding, why do they seem to be here to ask for bribes!
The four people looked at a loss and took the four paintings as if they were still asleep. Doctor Yan unceremoniously spread out the paintings on the spot, his eyes were almost on the paintings, and he vigorously sucked in the old rice paper. The charming fragrance came out, and he spat it out with great intoxication, and said intoxicatedly to Ouyang and Fan Han next to him: "It's an authentic work!"
Yan Shu rolled up the painting with extremely quick hands, and then quickly stuffed it into his big sleeves. As if he had received nothing, he said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "The gift still has to be accepted, but, we are here." You still have to pass the test of four old guys!"
The other three people also commented happily and stuffed the painting into their sleeves, or just put it in their arms and stood there happily!
ha? Everyone was stunned!
This unnecessary skill is really quite deep! You four old guys took advantage of me in broad daylight and pretended that nothing happened. How shameless are you?
I kneel down to you old guys. I really have convinced you. Can you do some favors? Liang Chuan greeted these old guys in his heart!
Everyone was also happy. Seeing something that smelled like bribery, in the eyes of several adults who are famous for their integrity, it will definitely become an elegant matter in the future!
Sun Houpu saw that this authentic way of doing things was not working, so he could only look at Liang Chuan for help!
When Liang Chuan saw this stance, it seemed that these people were afraid that they would not give up, so he could only say: "Well, since these adults are interested in considering my younger brother, I can't just sit back and watch, so let's do it! "
Ouyang Xiu blocked Liang Chuan and said, "Stop it, today's protagonist is Brother Sun. You, Liang Chuan, are indeed talented and even the rest of us can't compare to you. Today, no matter what, we must let Brother Sun show off!"
Ouyang Xiu had already spoken, and Sun Houpu could no longer hide behind Liang Chuan, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "That villain is willing to do his best!"
Yan Shu smiled and said: "I heard that Brother Sun is proficient in business arithmetic, so I asked first, if there are 81 catties of oranges in Huainan, and one catty costs five yuan, how much money can we earn in total?"
There are still people who ask questions like this. This is using your interests to test Sun Houpu’s expertise!
This reflects the emotional intelligence of these old guys. This is something that can only be asked of some people. If Sun Houpu is unable to come to Taiwan, won't he offend Xia Song?
Sun Houpu was so excited that he said without thinking: "If it is shipped to the north of the Yangtze River, it will cost a little more. If it is shipped to Fujian and Zhejiang, it will cost a lot more. It all depends on where the oranges are sold!"
Several people looked at each other and waited for Sun Houpu to continue: "Jiangbei produces oranges, so they are rare and valuable. Naturally, the price of oranges rises. Oranges are abundant in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a skill to be able to sell them. It is not easy to maintain capital. Don't expect to make money!"
Several people were surprised after hearing this. They only wanted to take the arithmetic test, but they didn't expect that doing business is not child's play and there are so many ways to do it!
After hearing this, Fan Zhongyan interjected: "In the future, will the younger brother or Miss Xia be in charge of the financial affairs of your house?"
Han Qi said with a smile: "I also have a question. There is a fat pig in the market. The hooves were sold for 500 renminbi, the pig body was sold for 700 renminbi, and the pig head was sold for another 100 renminbi. How many renminbi were made in total? Answer I have to come up, I’m afraid that the big responsibility of managing money will be handed over to my little brother!”
This is not a sub-question, this is clearly a proposition!
Sun Houpu gritted his teeth and said, "I made two hundred coins!"
Everyone asked with a smile: "What business method is there?"
Sun Houpu said bravely: "Five hundred plus seven hundred plus one hundred are just two hundred coins!"
Telling lies with open eyes, no matter how stupid a child is, he knows that five hundred plus seven hundred is always a lot of money. How can it be only two hundred cents? Sun Houpu is clearly full of desire for survival! Wrong calculation. Doesn't this power of financial management belong to Xia Xue?
Everyone laughed, this answer was considered witty!
This was regarded as letting Sun Houpu go, but Fan Zhongyan said: "We are very happy today. Liang Chuan, why don't you write a poem on the spot to help the joy?"
Liang Chuan was dumbfounded and even composed a poem on the spot. Did he really think he was some kind of contemporary literary giant? Come whenever you want?
Liang Chuan said: "If this poem is finished, can we be allowed in to pick up the bride?"
The four adults nodded at the same time, and Yan Shu said: "The request is not too high, just a Qijue!"
"Does limerick work? The cultural level of the little grassroots people is not high. They can only speak smoothly, and the artistic conception may not keep up with it!"
The four of them laughed heartily. If you can do it, it's your ability. Who expects true affection? It would be better if you don't just start the poem directly. That one is even more difficult!
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Doggerel is better, just have fun!"
Without thinking, Liang Chuan blurted out: "Tiancheng and his wife are close friends. They share the joys and sorrows and never change their hearts. They kiss in the bridal chamber with candles, and a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
At this time, not only the four great talents, but also the row of officials behind them who helped block the door were all shocked. Is it that simple, just open your mouth? No need to brew it?
And although this poem is straightforward, the artistic conception is very accurate, and the feelings expressed are extremely sincere. Husband and wife are one, like lotus roots, destined to share joys and sorrows. The last sentence is worth pondering, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold! Good sentence!
But this is too simple!
Well, Liang Chuan, you must have thought of this disaster last night and prepared your poems long ago!
Han Qi was very unwilling and kept saying: "This is not bad, but it is not fun enough. Liang Chuan, please play another one!"
Liang Chuan said anxiously: "Aren't you just getting fat by breaking your promise?"
Yan Shu said with a smile: "Add to the fun!"
The four of them stared at Liang Chuan eagerly, thinking that you are indeed very cunning. I used to follow Ding Wei and heard that you have the most clever ideas. Unexpectedly, the calligraphy and painting were ready, and even the poems were ready-made. If it weren't for these old guys, You are so thick-skinned that I really let you get away with it!
Everyone is just waiting for Liang Chuan to give in. They are all talented people who came out of the imperial examination. If they can't even handle Liang Chuan, how can they not make people laugh to death in the future?
You kid lower your head and let you pass!
Liang Chuan could see that it was really not possible, and said with a sad smile on his face: "Then I will compose another song. This time it is really unreasonable to not let us go!"
What! This guy has some stuff!
"The star shines brightly in the boudoir, the auspicious day and the right time coincide with the 9th cup. The love of the treasure family is in the water, and the full moon makes the flowers grow in harmony with the sky."
The flowers are blooming in August and the moon is full. This poem fits the beauty of this beautiful time!
The four of them looked at each other and were completely dumbfounded. Did they really open their mouths?
Fan Zhongyan looked a little stubborn and said: "It's not enough, we four adults are here, you can just make two more to make up four songs!"
Doctor Yan felt that there were not enough things to do and said directly: "Instead of Qi Jue, let's do Wu Lv and Qi Lv!"
Not only Sun Houpu, but also other officials were afraid. How could they stop a bride from acting as a driver? This was clearly a way to make things difficult for the Xia family. Who has such great ability to think of so many poems on the spot? ? Cao Zijian will never have such great ability in his next life!
Liang Chuan is not afraid of too much trouble. He thinks that if he doesn't convince you old guys today, he will lose to these people!
Without thinking, Liang Chuan continued to blurt out under the admiring eyes of everyone: "Listen carefully, everyone, this is the Five Rhymes!"
"The smoke of precious candles is emitting light, the fragrance of the banquet is harmonious; the joy of riding a dragon is overflowing, and the jade planted is blessed with many blessings.
The bright moon peeks through the curtain, and the delicate flowers are scattering. I can't see enough of the pillow curtain, so I try to draw a pair of flowers. "
Everyone's mouths were so shocked that they could fit an egg as big as an egg. Before everyone could recover, Liang Chuan continued his performance: "Guan Yong's poems are chanting with joy, Yu Xixian's wind is blowing far and near, and the brocade tent is fragrant." The love is deep, the warmth of spring in the bridal chamber is lingering; the man with the sparrow's eyes is talented, the girl with the same eyebrows is beautiful, Qin Se and Ming's family are happy, and they will be reunited together for a hundred years."
Are you convinced?
The corners of Liang Chuan's mouth raised inadvertently.
I remember that he not only learned Suona Kung Fu from his relatives, which is suitable for both red and white occasions, but also learned the emcee's eloquent speeches to add joy to the occasion and set off mourning.
The emcee of the ceremony is nothing more than: water flowing thousands of miles will eventually return to the sea, and people traveling thousands of miles will eventually end up in the earth. . Such lamentations!
It's different when something goes wrong.
At that time, in order to increase the atmosphere of the scene, the hosts asked the emcees to perform eloquence on the spot, which was nothing more than reciting these good poems and lines to cheer up the scene. When meeting a wealthy host, one sentence would be a red envelope. The emcees had to improve their skills in order to make a living. Liang Chuan didn't learn anything else about his business ability. He was moved just when he saw the emcee taking the red envelope, so he forced himself to learn this skill. He also used these poems in his elementary school compositions. Later, he went to a wedding banquet with his relatives. When the master of ceremonies got stuck, he jumped out and made a bright face and took away a lot of red envelopes!
I don't want this to come in handy now!
This is an incredible move! The four great talents of Yan Shu were shocked at once. They were confident that it could not be prepared by Liang Chuan. It would be fine if he just recited a song casually. He could pass the test. What is it if it is not true talent and learning?
How could they have imagined that Liang Chuan, who was greedy for his host's red envelopes, had to endure the hardships of reciting these festive poems!
Liang Chuan's performance was really amazing. Although the friends behind him were not very well-educated, looking at the surprised expressions of the four adults, one knew that Liang Chuan had returned with a great victory, not to mention giving them more face!
The live wind and percussion band sang joyfully, and bursts of cheers erupted from the crowd!
This is really unstoppable!
The four people looked at each other and smiled, and could only say: "I passed the test, but I have to do what I said. I wish the two newcomers like Liang Chuan's best wishes, Qinse and Ming's family will be happy, and they will be reunited together for a hundred years!"
This time the cheers from the crowd were even stronger! The gate has finally been passed! The welcoming team followed the four adults into the Xia Mansion amidst cheers. Relatives and friends were received by Qiu Fu in the courtyard. Liang Chuan followed the four adults into the inner hall!
