Whether it's a win or a match on the reels.
Yes, that's right.
Like the other world, the literati in this world also like to play word games to compete with each other's knowledge reserves and the flexibility of their minds.
Shen Hao has encountered many situations like this. Even though it seems easy to match a pair, you only need to match the corresponding words, but the method is actually no worse than poetry, and in many cases is even more difficult than poetry. Because poetry requires talent, and pairs require more "quick wit", and you need to see through the essence of the other party's question in a short time.
The Yu family was a well-established and scholarly family, especially Yu Shu, who served as the chief minister of Jingbei Official School. It can be said that all the official students in Jingbei were his disciples.
Therefore, the first step to enter the Yu family to welcome the bride is the most common trick played by literati.
"Master Shen, there are six jars of wine in total. They are all good wine! They correspond to the six pairs. I wonder if Master Shen is drinking? Or the pairs?"
This is the first level. It's not that difficult to someone who doesn't know the inside story. Because Commander Shen of the Black Flag Camp is also known as a great writer. Not only is he one of the most talented and talented people in the world, but he is also one of the top contemporary beings. Will he be stumped by a mere rival?
Besides, isn’t there still the option of drinking? With so many men here, just six jars of wine is not a big deal, right?
Shen Hao glanced at the six first couplets on the scroll, with a smile on his face, and then he went to the wine jar and took a whiff.
Shen Hao just read these six lines of couplets. Would he be right? What a fart!
Everyone said that Mr. Shen was a great literary man, but Shen Hao himself had never been so proud of himself. He knew that he was just a porter and had nothing to do with the word "literary". Let alone the right pair, he couldn't even understand it.
But those six jars of wine have something to say.
Shen Hao has some taste in drinking. He can tell the quality of the wine by smelling it, and what is roughly soaked in the wine.
For example, fruit wine and Wuliangye are both wines, but from the brewing materials to the process to the finished product, they are actually two different things.
The six jars of wine on the long table in front of him were medicinal wine. The wine might have about 20 degrees of alcohol content. In Shen Hao's eyes, it was just dregs of wine, and he generally wouldn't drink it.
The key point is that the wine is soaked with medicinal herbs. Shen Hao couldn't smell the effect of the medicine, but the smell was really unpleasant. It had a stomach-churning pungent smell.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"Master Shen, this is a very famous medicinal wine here in Qizhou. It can relax menstruation and activate blood circulation. It is good for internal and external use. Many practitioners also drink it often."
One of the people blocking the door smiled and answered Shen Hao's question with a proud expression. He came up with the idea. There is indeed no harm in this wine, but most people only drink one or two glasses at a time. It's not that they can't afford it, but the taste of the wine is too unpleasant. If you drink too much, you will easily feel nauseated and vomit it out.
And on this occasion, if you vomit after drinking some wine, it will be fun. The ultimate goal is to save Shen's face, make the subsequent "tests" go smoothly, and finally force Shen to give up.
How could the beautiful daughter of the Yu family fall into the hands of this shameless butcher named Shen?
For this purpose, the remaining pairs that were tied with the wine were carefully selected. They were all extremely difficult pairs. They did not believe that Shen could match them all in a short time. As long as he is stumped, plus this kind of special wine, the person named Shen must be severely humiliated!
As for whether the person named Shen will get angry?
How can young people be afraid for the Yu family's daughter and their own future? Just get restless. What's more, they don't think that someone named Shen dares to break the marriage etiquette.
Shen Hao smiled and looked at the young man who answered his question. He seemed to be younger than him, fair and handsome, but with a slightly raised chin and eyes that were both mocking and uneasy. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
"This wine tastes so strong, how much can you drink?"
"If Mr. Shen doesn't want to drink, then let's fight with him. I guess with Mr. Shen's literary talent, he can easily win some matches?"
Shen Hao shook his head and waved his hand, and three special guards from the Yuan Dan Realm behind him stood up first. It's just wine. If it doesn't taste good, just refine it and turn it into wine to dissipate the odor. This little trick may be cruel enough for ordinary people, but to monks in the Yuan Dan realm, the more serious words are just a joke.
Shen Hao saw the three special guards drinking and had no intention of stepping forward to help. It was just a small scene.
In just half a cup of tea, six jars of wine were directly refined into alcohol by three Yuan Dan monks, and the pungent smell was swept up into the sky by a gust of wind and dissipated.
"This... using your cultivation to turn wine into wine? This is against the rules!"
"Haha, you didn't tell me beforehand, right?" Shen Hao smiled and shook his head. He raised his feet and was about to move forward, but he paused for a while, turned around, picked up a pen and wrote five words in the blank space on the scroll: Yansuo Pond Liu .
I can't understand your pairs, but I can scare you with pairs from another world!
This is Shen Hao's bad taste, and my typical displeasure will not make you feel comfortable.
Here, Shen Hao walked into the door of Yu's house. Several young people who wanted to shout "unruly" suddenly met Shen Hao's eyes. They suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. They opened their mouths and did not shout the last word. When I came out, I suppressed myself until my face turned red and white. I could only get out of the way and watch Shen Hao walk in first.
"This Shen Hao is so arrogant and unreasonable! He actually let him take advantage of it!"
"He's just a guy who's looking for fame. He doesn't even have the courage to stand up to his opponent. What else can he do except rely on brute force? Miss Qiao'er must never marry such a vulgar and hypocritical person!"
"That's right!"
Several young people who failed to cause trouble for Shen Hao in the first step of welcoming the bride gathered together in a low voice to vent their regrets and dissatisfaction. In their words, they seemed to find evidence that Shen Hao was fishing for fame. What a great writer! A great writer who doesn’t even dare to get right? What a joke!
However, some of them noticed that one of their companions was silently holding the previous scroll in a daze, with something wrong looking on his face.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you? Brother Lin?"
Brother Lin remained silent, but with a dull look in his eyes, he unfolded the scroll in his hand and showed his companions to look at it.
"Yansuo Pondliu? This was written by Shen before he left? This word is so mediocre, huh? Is this a couplet?"
"Why don't you write a couplet for us? What does he mean?"
"Smoke lock pond willow? This is simple, let me think about it..."
Several people quickly frowned at this thought. It seems that things are not simple.
"Let me remind you, this is a pair that has all five elements, plus artistic conception and neatness. I think it seems to be an absolute."
"..." Several people looked at each other in astonishment, and then looked at the five newly written words on the scroll in their hands, and suddenly felt their cheeks burning.
