Chapter 207 You can do it, you can do it
Prince Jing'an even laughed out loud.
It sounds nice to have a long chat with you all night, but I'm afraid you're going to end up in bed?
Although the old lady was smiling, she already hated King Xibo to death in her heart.
Yan Qing didn't care, pointing at the people present: "My Lord, couplets are supposed to be entertainment. Although I am proud of my talent, there are many talented people in Da Chu here."
"If the prince wants to negotiate with me, he needs to ask the well-read people present whether they agree."
Yan Qing dragged everyone out to go to hell with her, and many people shook their heads.
Of course, there were also some people who nodded repeatedly.
They have the support of King Jing'an, so they are not afraid of King Xibo.
"Okay, so it should be."
King Xibo waved to the man in green behind him. The man waved his folding fan and walked up to the crowd.
He cupped his fists towards the old lady and said softly, "Old lady, my name is Ye Lanxuan, and I am the leader of all the scholars in the Marquis' territory. I hope I will not insult your ears by showing off my ugliness today."
Ye Lanxuan, the scholar who governs the Marquis’s territory!
When hearing his name, not only other officials, but even Chen Changan looked up.
Ye Lanxuan’s reputation is too great.
It is said that if Ye Lanxuan had not surrendered to the Duke of Xibo, he would have been able to pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer, and would definitely have been far better than Lu Fengsheng.
It was precisely because Ye Lanxuan did not take part in the imperial examination that Lu Fengsheng took advantage of the opportunity!
He has a very flexible mind, especially in writing couplets, and no one can match him.
Sending out such an expert right away, is King Xibo determined to win?
Ye Lanxuan waved his folding fan and clasped his fists towards the talented man from the imperial capital.
"I am a common country dweller, not worthy of the attention of the talented scholars in the imperial capital, but the Marquis has ordered me to come out."
"Let me tell you the rules first. I will fight against all the talented people in the capital alone."
"If you can defeat me, I lose."
Lu Fengsheng was immediately furious.
How could a common country boy like you want to challenge all the talented people in the capital?
Okay, okay, let me try it!
Lu Fengsheng clenched his folding fan, raised his head and said, "Master Ye, you don't have to say these nonsense to laugh at us!"
"Come, let me see what you are capable of!"
Seeing that Lu Fengsheng was facing a formidable enemy, Ye Lanxuan just shook his head: "Brother Lu, you don't have to treat me as an enemy, right?"
"Haha, we are brothers after we landed, why should we care about blood ties?"
"Let's do a couplet first to warm up!"
Lu Fengsheng's eyes narrowed and he became speechless.
This is a poem that has been passed down. When Ye Lanxuan used it here, it clearly formed a couplet of poetry.
The correct one must not only be neat, but also be selected from poetry.
There are so many poems and lyrics, where can I find a suitable one all at once?
Lu Fengsheng was anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't figure it out!
Seeing Lu Fengsheng's solemn expression, everyone was in deep thought and silent, Yan Qing's face was pale.
It's over, it's over...
Doesn’t the first couplet make sense on its own?
Ye Lanxuan was very proud and held up his folding fan: "Why, can't the talented scholars in the imperial capital come up with such a simple couplet?"
"It really... disappoints me!"
There was an indescribable sarcasm in his tone, and all the talented people felt embarrassed.
Don't choose couplets from poetry!
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone speak: "It's not that the talented people in the imperial capital can't match it, it's that this couplet is too simple."
Ye Lanxuan frowned slightly, but saw Chen Changan stand up.
When Yan Qing saw Chen Changan, she felt that his thin figure seemed extremely tall and made her feel dependent on him.
"How dare a mere teenager talk about couplets?"
Ye Lanxuan didn't take Chen Changan seriously and sneered, "Young man, have you grown hair?"
The talented people all gritted their teeth.
It's not that they are standing up for Chen Changan, but that Chen Changan is in the same group with them and they all represent the talented people of the capital.
When Ye Lanxuan talked about Chen Changan, he was clearly talking about them!
Chen Changan just shook his head and did not argue with Ye Lanxuan.
"Couplet is just a couplet, why do you have to elevate it to the level of personal attack?"
Chen Changan said disdainfully: "I am the top scholar of the dynasty, and you asked me whether my hair has grown back completely. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you?"
"Even if you have the support of Xibo Hou, how can he be more powerful than the emperor?"
After being rebuked by Chen Changan, Ye Lanxuan's face turned red immediately.
All the talented people in the capital are here to vent your anger and let you show off!
Xibohou laughed: "Top Scholar, you have a great tongue!"
"Don't worry, I brought people here today just to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and there is no other intention."
"Ye Lanxuan, stop talking nonsense."
The Marquis had spoken, so Ye Lanxuan could only nod: "Yes, Marquis."
Chen Changan did not argue with Ye Lanxuan and shook his head and said, "We are brothers since we landed on the ground, why should we be so close to each other?"
"Then I will say to you, a friend in need is a friend indeed."
Pop, pop, pop!
Xiang Wang took the lead in clapping and said with a big laugh: "Brother Changan is really talented. His reaction ability is almost catching up with mine!"
All the talented people were slightly stunned and nodded.
The first couplet talks about unrelated people coming together, while the second couplet talks about separation.
Very neat.
Lu Fengsheng couldn't help but applaud, and there were cheers all around.
Prince Jing'an stroked his long beard and nodded.
Ye Lanxuan let out a soft "eh". It was really rare that this kid, who had no hair on his face, could come up with a couplet in such a short time.
Ye Lanxuan put away his contempt and put away his folding fan: "Today is the old lady's birthday banquet, I will write a couplet for her."
"Everyone, please listen carefully."
"The first auspicious sign offered by the Yuangui of Luoshui is nine, a yin number and nine, a yang number. Ninety-nine equals eighty-one. Numbers are connected to the Tao, and the Tao is in harmony with Yuanshi Tianzun. One sincerity will bring you joy!"
When this couplet came out, Lu Fengsheng was stunned.
Ye Lanxuan created such a long couplet in the name of celebrating birthday. The most important thing is that it also contains numbers, which leads to Yuanshi Tianzun. How to respond in a short time?
Besides, when it comes to making couplets, it’s really disadvantageous to just match the second half of the couplet!
Just as Lu Fengsheng was about to speak, Xiang Wang said with disdain.
"Humph, you little idiot, how dare you act so violently in front of my brother Chang'an?"
"Changan, kill him!"
This couplet was difficult to come up with. Chen Changan grinned and said, "If you can do it, come on."
"What's the word?"
Xiang Wang shook his head and said, "I have no desire for Yan Qing, so how could I steal your limelight?"
"Besides, such a small person is not worthy of my help."
Chen Changan gave a thumbs up, saying that he was really good at blowing.
*** had to speak: "Chang'an, it's good for you, but I can't let my brother look down on the talents of the Imperial Capital."
King Xibo laughed broadly with a look of disdain on his face.
Chen Changan could only clasp his fists and say, "Then let me try?"
"Just now Mr. Ye mentioned the old lady's birthday banquet, then what do you think Yuanshi Tianzun is doing? My grandmother believes in Buddhism, not Taoism."
"The two phoenixes of the White Emperor bring good luck. The male sings six times, the female sings six times. Sixty-six calls are thirty-six. The voices are heard by the Buddha. The Buddha returns to Sakyamuni. All good deeds are followed."
As the saying goes, do no evil and practice all good.
As soon as Chen Changan finished speaking, the old lady was delighted and put her hands together: "Amitabha, the second couplet that I, Sun Changan, came up with is exactly what I was thinking."
In fact, there was no need for the old lady to say much, as there was thunderous applause all around!
Lu Fengsheng was clapping crazily.
I told you, Ye Lanxuan, to look down on the students of Dijing, and you can't even beat a little Chen Changan. What else can you say this time?
Beautiful, really beautiful!
King Xibo's face immediately turned ugly, and he stared at Ye Lanxuan coldly.
What are you doing, kid?
Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?
Chu Yanran gritted her teeth tightly.
How could this fool even match such a long couplet? She was unwilling to accept it!
