As Mu Qianxun said in the wing room, "Let's have a long conversation and see the true face," the hall felt like a pot was exploding. Countless people exclaimed and sighed!
"Oh my god, if I can have a long conversation with Miss Mu and see her true face, so what if I lose ten years of my life?"
"Hmph, let alone shortening your life span by ten years. If you can see Miss Mu's beauty today, you will die tomorrow, so what's the harm?"
"That's right. It's said that dying under the peonies is pretty cool even if you're a ghost!"
…
Looking at the boiling scene in the hall and Zhao Weinan who was so excited that he was about to jump down beside the fence, Han Feng couldn't help but be shocked.
Han Feng asked after dragging Zhao Weinan back with difficulty.
"Brother Zhao, haven't you seen... this girl Mu's face?"
Zhao Weinan explained as if he were a die-hard fan of Mu Qianxun.
"Brother Han, don't you know that Miss Mu rarely appears in front of outsiders, and even when she does, she always wears a veil. In the past three years, no one has seen Miss Mu's true face!"
Han Feng was stunned.
"Didn't you say that...this girl Mu is one of the three beauties in Bailong County?"
Zhao Weinan said matter-of-factly.
"Yes, but even if Miss Mu doesn't show her true face, her eyebrows and eyes can show her majestic appearance.
If her true appearance is revealed, she must be one of the three beauties in Bailong County, maybe even the number one beauty! "
"this……"
Han Feng was speechless for a moment, wondering if this was a 'brainless fan' from another world.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of a certain anchor named "Qiao" in his previous life, who charmed thousands of fans with his incredible "beauty" and "makeup skills". Could it be that this girl Mu was also a beauty who could "die in the light"?
Before Han Feng could ask more questions, Qin Yujiao grabbed Zhao Weinan's lapel and hummed.
"Nonsense, my sister is the most beautiful woman in Bailong County. Why does this woman rank in front of my sister?"
Zhao Weinan originally wanted to clear up his idol's name, but when he saw Qin Yujiao clenching her pink fists and making a big disagreement, she immediately felt the urge to spit blood.
Han Feng said with some doubts.
"The three beauties you mentioned in Bailong County include Miss Mu and the rich daughter of the city lord's palace. How about another beauty?"
Hearing this, Zhao Weinan's face twitched and he looked at Han Fengdao with great resentment.
"Brother Han, you are so unkind. Don't you mean to make people jealous by saying such things?
Who doesn't know that your wife, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, is one of the three beauties of our Bailong County? You are so lucky that I envy you. "
Han Feng couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered his wife "Zhou Yunmei".
That woman was indeed so beautiful that even Han Feng was amazed. Unfortunately, she teamed up with Zhou Dafu to seize his family property, so Han Feng naturally didn't like her.
After shaking his head, Han Feng said a little unconvinced.
"Why can't my eldest sister Chu Hanxin be considered one of the three beauties?"
In Han Feng's eyes, although Zhou Yunmei was extremely beautiful, Chu Hanxin's appearance was by no means inferior to hers.
Zhao Weinan thought for a while and said.
"Hey... Brother Han doesn't know that the three beauties of Bailong County are selected in the county. Your sister usually stays in the Han branch and rarely walks around the city.
Otherwise, with Miss Chu's appearance, she would definitely be able to occupy a place. "
Feeling Qin Yujiao's fierce gaze on the side, Zhao Weinan added knowingly.
"Of course, there is also Miss Qin, who is just a little younger. If it takes another one or two years, she will definitely not lose to these few."
The bowl of water was flat. Zhao Weinan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly changed the subject.
"I heard that Miss Mu is recruiting guests today, but there will be some difficult questions. I don't know what they will be."
At this moment, the crazy guests in the hall finally calmed down.
Then oil lamps lit up all around the hall.
In an instant, the dim cabinet became brighter, and the beautiful figure on the screen outside the opposite wing disappeared without a trace.
The guests in the venue suddenly became anxious and kept calling the name "Mu Qianxun", but Miss Mu in the side room stopped making any sound.
After a while, two pretty maids walked out from behind the screen.
A maid came forward, holding an incense burner in her hand. She inserted a stick of incense into the burner and just lit the incense head.
Another waitress walked to the fence, faced the guests in the hall, and announced.
"Dear guests, Miss Mu is going to select a guest from among everyone present today. For the sake of fairness, Miss Mu specially wrote three first couplets.
If the guests present here can display all three first couplets within one stick of incense, they can become Miss Mu's guests. "
As soon as this statement came out, the guests present did not feel too surprised.
After all, it is normal to recite poems and compose poems in the Fengyue Palace. What's more, Miss Mu is famous for being a talented woman who is proficient in "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting". It is natural and reasonable for her to test everyone's questions.
Seeing that the fragrance had begun to burn, the guests hurriedly urged the maid to take out the first couplet.
The maid smiled slightly and walked calmly to the center of the fence. Only then did everyone realize that three scrolls had been tied with red ropes on the fence on the third floor.
The maid reached out and untied the red rope one by one, and the three scrolls stretched downwards.
In an instant, these three first couplets appeared in front of everyone.
Han Feng also looked up curiously.
On the first couplet, I saw a line of words written in an elegant yet graceful font.
“The green water is originally worry-free, but its face is wrinkled by the wind.”
reads the second scroll.
"There are islands on the water and land, and the boat stops on the island, but the boat cannot move on the island."
The third scroll reads.
"If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, there will be fishing. Water, water, water, rivers and lakes."
As soon as the three couplets came out, there was a sudden noise in the hall. From time to time, someone responded, and the scene was in full swing.
But as time passed, the guests who were originally eager to try it gradually became sad.
at last. The hall felt strange and became quiet.
At this moment, Han Feng chewed the third couplet carefully and was secretly shocked. He finally understood why so many people looked so embarrassed.
The first couplet, "The green mountains never grow old, but their faces are wrinkled by the wind" seems simple, but in fact, if you take a closer look, you will know that it is not the case.
On the surface, this couplet is about a natural landscape, but it also contains anthropomorphic techniques. The scenery enters into the emotions, and the artistic conception is quite profound. It is extremely difficult to match the second couplet to the scene.
The second couplet, "On the land and water, on the continent, the boat stops on the island, but the boat cannot move on the island" is even more difficult.
It not only has the characteristics of "homophones" and "thimble" (a rhetorical method, which means that the end of the previous sentence and the beginning of the next sentence use the same word or words).
Moreover, it implies the physical law of "relative motion", which is extremely difficult to deal with perfectly.
As for the last couplet, "If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, there will be fishing; water, water, water, rivers and lakes." It can be said to be the most difficult.
A typical "split word couplet", in which the contrast between obscurity and obscurity is already extremely difficult.
And this couplet starts with "water". When fighting, you need to choose one of the five elements "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth", which doubles the difficulty.
As soon as the third couplet came out, even Han Feng, who has gathered the wisdom of ancient Chinese people for thousands of years, is still regarded as wonderful from the perspective of modern people.
It is no wonder that the three first and second couplets of such difficulty must be opposite each other within one stick of incense. It is no wonder that the hall becomes silent and it stumps countless talented people in Bailong County.
Han Feng couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. It seemed that this girl Mu had so many crazy admirers in Bailong County.
Regardless of appearance, this talent can already stand out among the crowd.
The maid in the attic looked at everyone in the hall, immersed in thought, and just said with a faint smile.
"Dear guests, please think slowly. If anyone can correct the second couplet, we will immediately provide paper, ink, pen and inkstone and make it public here.
At that time, all guests present and Miss Mu will be asked to judge whether the duel is neat or not. "
