The moment the silk satin unfolded, everyone was a little confused.
In the last hanging lantern, there is not a word puzzle, but a couplet!
Moreover, this couplet is extremely difficult at first glance.
"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."
Three points of water, plus insect is the word turbid.
Three points of water, plus fish, is the word fish.
The second half of the palace is a couplet with three waters as Miao.
It can be said that this couplet has written water to the extreme.
At this time, passers-by who were originally full of confidence in Gu Beichuan couldn't help but become worried.
"Boss, I'm afraid you didn't come up with this couplet yourself." Gu Beichuan looked at the couplet and said.
"Young master, what are you talking about? If this little old man is so talented and does business, he must go to school."
"This word puzzle came from Kyoto."
"It is said that it was produced by Hu Yan, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, and after it was revealed, no one in the entire Kyoto could guess it."
When the old man with the goatee said this, he couldn't help but show a proud look on his face.
Sure enough, as soon as the word Hu Yan came out, there was an uproar around him.
"Your store is not authentic. How can this young master match the couplets carefully prepared by Hu Yan and Hu?"
"That's right, don't you know you're trying to trick people?"
Even Xiang Zhirou looked at Gu Beichuan with a little worry in her eyes.
She has never denied Gu Jia's unparalleled talent, but Hu Yan and Hu Jia have been the leaders in the entire Daqian literary world in recent years!
Compared with this, everyone Gu seems a little immature.
Moreover, this is a couplet carefully prepared by everyone in Hu Yanhu. No one in Kyoto can do it, which already shows how difficult it is.
But Gu and everyone have to confront each other in an instant. Isn't this embarrassing?
So she threw down all the gold hairpins she was holding in her arms, and said with a slightly coquettish tone: "You are an unreasonable boss, we don't want these hairpins anymore."
"Mr. Gu, let's go."
Compared with the dispensable Jin Chai, she didn't want to see everyone Gu embarrassed.
After hearing this, the old man with the goatee suddenly showed a proud smile on his face.
Hu Yan and Hu everyone’s couplets, this is his trump card!
With this couplet as the foundation, he has already been invincible, so this lantern riddle business is almost a sure-fire business.
"Alas, this young man is so talented that he was treated like a fool by this store."
"What can we do? That's the couplet produced by the Hu family!"
"Don't talk about this young master, I'm afraid even our Qin family in Huainan may not be able to deal with it."
"It's a pity, it's really a pity."
However, in the face of everyone's comments, Gu Beichuan said expressionlessly:
"Below the wood is the foundation, and above the wood is the end. The trees are trees, and there are many pines, cypresses, and camphors."
boom!
As soon as these words came out, the entire scene fell silent.
The shopkeeper frowned and rubbed his ears again, as if doubting his hearing.
Full of surprise and confusion, he asked: "You...what did you just say?"
Seeing him like this, Gu Beichuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showed a slight smile, and said:
"I say, wood is opposite to water, original is to turbidity, mo is to fishing, pines, cypress and camphor are to rivers and lakes, and forest is to miaomiao."
"The first couplet is that 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."
"I wrote the following couplet: Under the wood is the foundation, above the wood is the end, the wood is wood, the trees are full of pines, cypresses and camphors."
boom!
After Gu Beichuan finished explaining, the scene fell into deathly silence again.
After a long time, someone exclaimed: "The right one is out! The right one is out!"
"Hu Yan and Hu's couplets were revealed by our Huainan talents!"
Everyone around him was overjoyed.
The old man with a goatee looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, and the expression on his face could be described as a mixture of shock and annoyance.
Why should I ask others to guess crossword puzzles? Isn't this embarrassing yourself?
Xiang Zhirou looked at Gu Beichuan quietly, her eyes as bright as stars.
At this moment, this young poet who had only been famous for less than a month, in her heart, had already surpassed Hu Yan, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you put away the golden hairpin quickly?"
When Xiang Zhirou heard this, a touch of joy quickly climbed onto her cheeks, she nodded, and took back the golden hairpin she had just put down.
When the old man with the goatee saw this, he even cried a little bit and said: "Today, I admit defeat. It was me who had blind eyes and didn't recognize Taishan, so I bumped into the young master."
"I just don't know what your surname is."
"Gu family Beichuan."
After Gu Beichuan left a word, he took Xiang Zhirou and left gracefully.
The store owner was left alone in a daze: "Gu Jia Beichuan? Gu Jia Beichuan?"
"Isn't that...Gu Beichuan? Huainan Poet Gu Beichuan!"
boom!
The moment he knew the truth, the old man with the goatee felt like something exploded in his mind.
He even forgot to care about the losses, but shouted like crazy: "He is Gu Shijun! He is Gu Shijun!"
Everyone around him was stunned when he heard this.
Someone suddenly realized: "It turns out he is Gu Shijun, so talented, no wonder! No wonder!"
"Gu Shijun, who wrote "Zhen Yumen" and "Joining the Army"! Oh my God, I was so close to Gu Shijun!"
"What are you waiting for? Gu Shijun is not far away yet, hurry up and chase her!"
boom!
In an instant, the crowd became commotion again.
Fortunately, Gu Beichuan noticed it immediately and took Xiang Zhirou into an alley not far away.
"This... is really a bit crazy. Gu, a white lady, cannot deserve such a special honor."
When Xiang Zhirou heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled softly, saying: "Master Gu, please do not belittle yourself. Your reputation in Huainan is probably even greater than that of the Qin family."
Gu Beichuan smiled bitterly when he heard this. He obviously only wrote a few poems, but somehow he became a star-like figure in later generations.
"Miss Xiang Yun, it's getting late, I'll take you back."
"Thank you Mr. Gu."
In this way, the two of them walked side by side towards Prince Jing's Mansion.
Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was not awkward, but rather warm and ambiguous.
When she arrived at the door of Prince Jing's Mansion, Xiang Zhirou spoke up and asked: "Master Gu is young and so talented. I wonder if he is suitable for marriage?"
When asked this question, Xiang Zhirou's face looked as usual, with nothing unusual at all.
In fact, the little deer bumped into each other, and my heart was pounding.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "Although many people came to propose marriage, the engagement has not been finalized."
Xiang Zhirou breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"
To be honest, it was just the first time that the two met, so what they said was a bit ridiculous, so the girl's cheeks unconsciously blushed a little.
"Of course, my heart belongs to someone, and I have already made a lifelong decision with him."
boom!
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Zhirou felt like a thunderbolt from the blue and was stunned on the spot.
