In the Sajin Pavilion, the fragrance has already burned halfway, and in the auditorium on the third floor of the cabinet, there are endless whispers.
Sometimes everyone raised their heads and gazed at the three first couplets, and sometimes frowned and pondered the second couplet.
The three first couplets of Sajin Pavilion are indeed extremely difficult, but among the people present there are also intellectual talents with extraordinary knowledge from Bailong County, or older Confucian scholars who are well-read in poetry and books.
The literary talent of these people should not be underestimated. Occasionally, a few people would suddenly have an idea and call the servant to bring them a "scroll of pen and ink" to write the second couplet with a flourish of pen and ink.
However, as soon as these second couplets were delivered to the third floor, they were unfolded by the maids in public. After discussion, some people would point out the irregularities in them, or criticize them as "a dog's tail continues the mink's work."
These people could only ask people to take down the scroll in shame and continue to think.
Of course, there are some amazing and talented people among the guests.
For example, in the lobby on the first floor, a young scholar in blue shirt named "Li Heng" wrote two second couplets one after another, and no one could point out the shortcomings in them for a while.
The first couplet he wrote was: "I don't hate the Qiang Di, but I worry about Liu."
In the first couplet, "Green water is worry-free, but the wind wrinkles the face."
The second couplet is: "Shanting Road is full of deer. It is difficult for deer to run on the road."
Corresponding to the first couplet: "On land and water, there are islands. The boats stop on the islands, but the boats cannot move on the islands."
The two lower couplets and the upper couplet contrast neatly and match the artistic conception. Not only can one find no fault with it, but they also applaud it.
At the same time, it also attracted many beautiful girls from Sajin Pavilion who came to watch the excitement and cast admiring and admiring glances at the rather handsome Li Heng.
Even Qin Yujiao couldn't help but praise.
"This man is really right. I seem to have heard his name before. This man should be one of our "Ji Ren" in Bailong County. He is really talented in literature."
After saying that, she looked at Han Feng again and said with a sarcastic smile.
"Hey, don't you also want to be the guest of the woman named Mu? You also go to the second couplet.
Why did you give up so quickly? "
Hearing this, Han Feng glanced at Qin Yujiao, smiled and shook his head.
"Forget it, I don't want to do this kind of limelight thing, and I'm not interested in those "guests".
Besides, instead of having a long conversation with such a romantic woman, it would be better to chat with a lady like Miss Qin Er. "
Han Feng's words were a very common joke between his female friends in his previous life.
However, it was different when Miss Qin Er heard it. Xiao Nizi blushed immediately.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Han Feng, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, and said threateningly.
"Han Feng, you are a scumbag, who wants to chat with you about family affairs? If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I don't recognize anyone with my fists!"
After speaking, she added disdainfully.
"I think you just don't know anything about couplets and you're just afraid of making a fool of yourself!"
When Han Feng heard this, he just smiled casually, picked up the tea cup and sipped it, very leisurely, watching everyone in the hall rack their brains.
Compared with Han Feng's comfort and leisure, Zhao Weinan is completely opposite. At this moment, his hands are firmly clasping the fence, looking at the three couplets, his eyes are red.
No matter how hard he searched, the "invisible" ink in his stomach couldn't piece together a couplet.
Zhao Weinan was sweating profusely and his nails almost dug into the wooden fence.
Seeing that the fragrance has burned more than half, in the whole hall, only Mr. Li Heng and Mr. Li have written two first couplets, and a third second couplet seems to be brewing. It seems that today's guest has already belonged to his family.
Suddenly, someone came over to the table where Han Feng and others were sitting.
Han Feng and the others turned around and saw Wu Zhenghao, who had a bruised nose and face, walking to them with Liu Fang.
As soon as she saw Wu Zhenghao, Qin Yujiao's expression suddenly turned evil.
Wu Zhenghao took a few steps back in fright, avoided Qin Yujiao's gaze, looked at Han Feng and Zhao Weinan, and said with a sneer.
"Alas... Master Han and Master Zhao, since you two are here for Miss Mu, it's already half time, why haven't you two come to terms with each other?
Is it possible that, with their two great talents, they can't compete with this mere third deputy in the first couplet? "
Hearing Wu Zhenghao's obvious sarcasm, Han Feng naturally ignored it, but Zhao Weinan was so angry that his nostrils smoked and he retorted.
"Wu Zhenghao, don't say such sarcastic words. If we can't stand up to each other, you can stand up to us. With your literary talents, how do you think you can be any better than me?"
When Wu Zhenghao heard this, he laughed proudly.
"Hahaha...Zhao Weinan, you are still the young master of the Zhao family. With your brains, if you inherit the Zhao family's business in the future, you will probably destroy the family sooner or later."
As he said that, Wu Zhenghao glanced at Liu Fangdao, who was beside him and was dressed in white.
"Sigh... Let's go, Mr. Liu. Some people can't understand such a simple couplet even if they want to break their heads. It's really pitiful. Let us teach them what true literary talent is!"
With that said, Wu Zhenghao glanced at Zhao Weinan and Han Feng with disdain, and as if venting his resentment, he turned back with Liu Fang arrogantly.
Seeing the two people leaving, Zhao Weinan turned livid with anger and looked at Han Fengdao.
"Brother Han, how do I feel that these two guys despise my IQ!"
Han Feng took a sip of tea and said calmly.
“Be confident and take the “feeling” out of it.”
"Uh..." Zhao Weinan was suddenly deflated, but then he raised his head unconvinced and said.
"Hmph, I don't believe that that fat pig can still figure out the second line."
Qin Yujiao on the side rarely agreed.
"I think this guy is as stupid as a pig, how can he be right?"
At the same time, Wu Zhenghao had returned to his seat, and he slapped the table with his big hand and shouted.
"Come here, please bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
Immediately, a boy brought a scroll of ink and ink. Under the surprised gazes of Zhao Weinan, Qin Yujiao and others, Wu Zhenghao picked up the brush, dipped it in ink and began to write in large strokes.
Han Feng also looked at Wu Zhenghao at this moment. From his angle, he happened to be able to see that when Wu Zhenghao was writing the couplet, Liu Fang was standing next to him, his lips moving.
Obviously, this couplet was actually written by Liu Fang for Wu Zhenghao.
"Damn, this guy cheated!"
Zhao Weinan also discovered the suspicion and shouted angrily, but it was of no use. He only received a mocking smile from Wu Zhenghao.
Not long after, Wu Zhenghao wrote two second couplets and sent them directly to the waitress on the third floor for public notice on the fence.
The first couplet: "Beauties are not destined to be unlucky, but to be infatuated with love."
Second couplet: "The sky rains and the clouds rain, the clouds rain, the rain falls and the clouds do not fall."
The two lower couplets were unfolded at the same time, and there was another silence in the hall, and soon there was a roar of applause!
"What a literary talent!"
"What a wonderful second line, the counterpoint is so neat!"
"Were these two couplets written by that talented person?"
…
As everyone cheered, the waitress on the attic said with a smile.
"This is the second couplet written by the Second Young Master Wu."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. The reputation of the second young master of the Wu family was not small in Bailong County, but it was a pity that he was notorious far and wide.
Naturally, many people didn't believe that the other party could actually produce such a wonderful second line.
However, when it came to Wu Zhenghao's family background, no one dared to stand up and criticize. On the contrary, some people spoke out to please them, praising the two second couplets as being excellent and even better than Li Juren's two second couplets.
At this moment, Li Heng looked at Wu Zhenghao's two second couplets, with a hint of surprise on his delicate and white face. He then focused on the third first couplet and began to think seriously.
Obviously he also felt threatened and planned to fight Xialian as soon as possible.
Wu Zhenghao on the pavilion, listening to the cheers from downstairs, also looked proud and provocatively raised the brush in his hand towards Han Feng and Zhao Weinan.
On the side, Liu Fang, the counselor of the Wu Mansion, was thinking deeply at this moment, obviously trying his best to solve the second couplet.
Zhao Weinan was scratching his head as he watched from the sidelines. He only regretted that he was not smart enough and did not learn from Wu Zhenghao. He also asked a capable person to help him solve the problem.
Seeing that only a quarter of Qingxiang was left, the game in the hall became a duel between Li Heng and Wu Zhenghao.
Just a moment later, Liu Fang's eyes suddenly lit up and he whispered something in Wu Zhenghao's ear.
Wu Zhenghao's eyes also lit up and he started writing immediately, while Li Heng also wrote almost at the same time. Both parties actually came up with the second couplet at the same time.
Zhao Weinan was extremely unwilling and cursed bitterly.
"Hmph, we must not let Wu Zhenghao win. If this guy becomes famous in Bailong County in the future, he will be even more proud."
Han Feng comforted him from the side.
"Brother Zhao, why do you care so much? You are just a guest of an oiran. How can you be famous in Bailong County?"
Zhao Weinan sighed.
"Brother Han, you don't know the influence of Miss Mu. Who in the entire Bailong County doesn't know the talent and fame of Miss Mu from Sajin Pavilion? If you can get her favor and recognition, even a piece of waste paper can be sold. A sky-high price!
If Wu Zhenghao becomes Miss Mu's guest, I'm afraid there will be a lot of beauties who will admire him in the future. Thinking about it makes me furious! "
Zhao Weinan sighed angrily, but he didn't know that his words made Han Feng, who was originally watching the excitement, suddenly have an idea in his mind.
"Eh...yeah, why did I forget!"
Han Feng suddenly slapped his thigh, startling Zhao Weinan and Qin Yujiao.
"Han...Brother Han, what have you forgotten?"
Han Feng's eyes sparkled and he smiled: "Our Anxiang Pavilion should hire an image spokesperson!"
