Volume 1 Chapter 1 Couplets
The reason why Zhang Zhen proposed to couplets was not to practice writing or to show how awesome she was. Her meaning was probably to take the exam for Yang Cong’s talent, and to see if Yang Cong was really as powerful as the rumored one.
As for this couplet, if it were in the previous life, Yang Cong might be confused. In this life, it would be not fake to win even three yuan. He can do a standard eight-legged essay with exams very quickly. If a couplet is just a small meaning.
He pretended to be a humble person and said, "Ms. Zhang is just a little three-yuan, and he can't afford to be a genius. This couplet only knows a little bit, and he doesn't dare to give advice. Ms. Zhang might as well list the first couplet and let's discuss it together."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhen secretly looked at Yang Cong's handsome face and developed some affection for Yang Cong for no reason.
Although this Young Master Yang won the college entrance examination and won three yuan, he was humble and polite, and he didn't look like a young and frivolous arrogant person. It was really rare. He just didn't know whether his talent was as outstanding as rumored. She nodded slightly and then said softly: "Young Master, listen, the young lady has a first couplet: Nantongzhou, North Tongzhou, North Tongzhou and North Tongzhou."
Yang Cong was stunned when he heard this. This couplet is indeed difficult, but it has been matched up long ago!
He knew without thinking about it. The following couplet is: East pawn shop, West pawn shop, and East pawn shop.
What is Zhang Zhen taking the school exam?
He felt that this couplet would not be so right. If he was so right, he would probably be disappointed.
He thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, you probably know that the second couplet is: pawn shop in the east, pawn shop in the west, pawn shop in the west, pawn shop in the east, pawn shop in the east, but the young student came up with another second couplet here: reading in spring, reading in autumn, reading in spring and autumn, I wonder what the lady thinks?"
When Zhang Zhen heard this, his eyes lit up. Mr. Yang, who won three yuan in a row, was indeed not ordinary.
The reason why she proposed couplets was naturally based on her, because there was a book in her family that specifically introduced couplets, and there were many books that were absolutely perfect for eternity. There were definitely some perfect matches and some other non-modal ones.
Like this "Nantongzhou, North Tongzhou, North Tongzhou, North Tongzhou and North South Tongzhou." Some people have already issued a couplet, "The east pawn shop, the west pawn shop, the east pawn shop, the east pawn shop, the east pawn shop, the east pawn shop." The couplets are indeed absolute, but Yang Cong "thought out" "reading in spring, reading in autumn, reading in spring and autumn, reading in spring and autumn." It can also be regarded as absolute, and it also conforms to what Yang Cong is doing now. Isn't he just studying the "Four Books and Five Classics" hard, and there is a "Spring and Autumn" in the "Four Books and Five Classics".
She savored it for a moment, then said softly: "Young Master is indeed a talented man. I have another couplet here: I live in the pagoda and look at Kongming. It is really hard to walk around the river."
Damn, Kong Ming, Jiang Wei, and Lu Bu, these are all characters in the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Zhen doesn’t know where these couplets seem to be there, but he seems to have a little impression of this couplet.
Yang Cong pretended to think for a while, then blurted out: "The bird is in the cage, and his mind is in the nest. I hate Guan Yu for not being able to Zhang Fei."
Cao Cao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are also three figures in the Three Kingdoms. Fortunately, he had seen this couplet accidentally, otherwise he would not have thought of it for a while.
Zhang Zhen silently recited the second couplet in his heart, and his face couldn't help but look shocked.
There is no lower couplet in the book she saw, and Mr. Yang doesn't seem to have seen the lower couplet. It took so long that he actually came up with such a neat second couplet. He is really a genius among geniuses!
Yang Cong’s talent is beyond doubt. So, is it necessary to continue this couplet?
She thought about it and suddenly thought of a first couplet. This first couplet does not have the second couplet in the book, and this first couplet was produced by Tang Bohu, a famous talent in the Chenghua and Zhengde periods of the previous dynasty. There has never been anyone who has spoken in the past twenty or thirty years. She really wanted to know what this second couplet is, or she really wanted to see if Yang Cong could meet Tang Bohu's eternal absolute.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but whisper: "Young Master is so amazing. Such a difficult couplet will be right in one go. The little woman heard that Tang Bohu had left an absolute one. No one has ever matched her yet. I wonder if the young master can match her. The first couplet is: Drawing a lotus monk's painting."
This couplet is indeed difficult to correct, because it is homophonic to the couplet, which means reading it the same meaning.
If Yang Cong is really a person from this era, he will probably be confused because no one in this era has paired up this couplet.
However, the couplet was also cracked.
What is the second couplet?
Yang Cong pretended to frown and pondered for a long time, then pretended to be excited and said: "I have it: Books are written in Han Shu Hanlin Shu."
So awesome!
Zhang Zhen looked at Yang Cong in amazement, and was stunned for a moment.
After a while, she blushed and said, "The young master's talent is comparable to that of Tang Jieyuan. The young woman really admires it. The young woman also has a first couplet. The young master listens to it: I will marry Pan Jialang, and I will have fields, rice and water."
Yang Cong was stunned when he heard this. He knew that this was a couplet that was very difficult to correct. The upper couplet was the character "Pan". There were three dots of water on the left of the character "Pan", and there was a rice in the middle on the right and a field underneath, so there was fields, rice and water.
This kind of character-disassembly couplet is impossible to be matched in a hurry, because you not only need to consider the issue of character-disassembly, but also the artistic conception. If you just need to disassembly, you can split it into three simple characters by simply finding a complex character, but it will be difficult to match this artistic conception.
Fortunately, this is a more famous unblocking couplet and the answer has long been available.
This couplet seems to be passed down from the Tang Dynasty forever. Anyone who has learned couplets should know it.
He was not pretentious, and said without thinking: "Ms. Zhang, this couplet is actually the absolute passed down from the Tang Dynasty. The second couplet has been there for a long time. In this haste, the young student could not think of a second couplet that suits the artistic conception. The young student could only use the good sentences of his ancestors. If the young student remembers correctly, the second couplet should be: marrying the daughter of He and adding more people. I don't know who matched this couplet, but it was really wonderful. The character Pan and the character He, with fields, rice and water, can add more people and add more people when they get married. The artistic conception is really wonderful. I wonder what the lady thinks?"
Idiot, can this girl not know this couplet?
Zhang Zhen blushed and looked at Yang Cong foolishly. Seeing that the fool hadn't reacted for a while, she couldn't help but stand up with shame, and stamped her feet and said, "Since the young master knows this artistic conception, think about what this artistic conception means."
After saying that, she turned around and ran away, not even saying goodbye.
Yang Cong stared at her back blankly, his face full of confusion.
Haven’t you said all this artistic conception? What else can I think about?
He silently recited the couplet again in his heart, and was stunned for a moment.
This couplet not only means "there are fields, rice and water" but also means "there are more people and children", but also means that the two of them will get married!
The two got married!
This means that the blind date was successful?
At this moment, Yang Cong couldn't help but be stunned.
Chapter completed!
