Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 97

Ye Chen didn't want to write the words on the spot, because the other party's two poems were in front of them, like two mountains, he could only look up, but couldn't cross.

But he didn't want to admit the cowardice on the first meeting, so he planned to change the field and discuss couplets with each other.

After Fang Chenbo and Zhao Yu heard the words, their eyes lit up. When they were in Jinling, they had heard books. This Ye Tanhua's talent for couplets was extremely high, and he specialized in some rare couplets. He has been stumped by many talented scholars, and even the champion of Nian admits that he is not as good as Ye Tanhua in terms of couplets.

At this time, Ye Chen was about to discuss couplets with Su Chen, and the two of them understood each other, showing a look of 'you know me too', and they followed suit.

"Wonderful, after writing the words, let's relax for a couple of couplets, and you can also use your wits!"

"One is the third-ranking talent in the imperial examination, and the other is a talented person who is proficient in words. This discussion will definitely be unique, and it will be an eye-opener for me."

These two people added fuel to the flames, and immediately aroused the curiosity of everyone present. As the saying goes, watching the fun is not a big deal. The couplet showdown between the two great talents is something that can't be met. How can they miss this fun?

"Of course, I'll wait and see!"

"For couplets, you can see a scholar's talent and test a person's wit. It's not just a matter of studying hard!"

"The two great talents, I don't know which one will win?"

"Bibi will know."

The chatter of the surrounding people and the warm atmosphere pushed this poetry meeting to another small climax.

Xu Qingwan was a little worried about Su Yixuan. After all, Ye Chen was the third-ranking student in the imperial examinations, so his literary talent and knowledge must be outstanding.Although Su Yixuan is very good at writing lyrics, she is not sure whether she is proficient in couplets. She doesn't want Su Yixuan to make a fool of herself on the spot, so she asks, "Young Master Su, are you proficient in couplets, and do you have any ideas for sharing with Young Master Ye?"

Su Chen chuckled and shook his head: "I'm not very good at it, I just take a look at it occasionally, and forget about the competition."

Everyone was a little stunned when they saw that he took the initiative to admit the cowardice. Could it be that he was afraid?

Ding Yin saw that Su Yixuan, who had red lips and white teeth and a face like a crown of jade, took the initiative to back away and did not dare to confront his cousin, so he laughed and said: "What kind of talent am I, it turns out to be a coward who can only write a few sour songs. What is a word, compare it to a couplet, and make a pair on the spot, do you dare to pick it up?"

"It's not a question of whether you dare or not, but I'm not interested!" Su Chen picked up a longan and chewed it in his mouth. He didn't feel that retreating at this time was a matter of ignorance, and he went his own way.

Ding Yin sneered: "Huh, what's not interesting, I think you don't dare, Su Yixuan, you have a false name, you are not worthy of pursuing Bai Susu!"

Su Chen was not agitated at all, and smiled lightly: "Is it a false name? The two poems just now have been proved, but it is Ding Gongzi himself, who seems to be unable to learn it."

Ding Yin snorted softly: "This young master has never claimed to be a talented person, and he is not as good as Jinshi and Gongsheng, so I will admit it. But you, there has been a lot of rumors about your reputation in the city recently, so you retreated like this, and I am afraid that it will also be given to Miss Bai. Black it out."

Not far away, when Peng Qingqing saw this scene, he stamped his feet angrily, and snorted coldly, "Ding Erlang is here to make trouble again, see if I don't beat him up."

Bai Susu took her arm and said softly, "This is the Xu residence. There are many talented scholars, scholars, and ladies, and the school secretary of the Secretary Department, Master Xu, is also there. You must not be rash."

"However, Ding Ershao is so aggressive, it makes me angry."

"Let's see how Su Gongzi deals with it!" Bai Susu was still calm and calm, she also wanted to see how Su Chen dealt with the trouble and if she could give her more surprises.

Su Chen said indifferently: "I'm not interested in couplets, what does this have to do with Miss Bai?"

Ding Yin really wanted to see Su Yixuan's embarrassment that he couldn't match on the spot, but the other party refused to discuss, the more he felt itchy, and it was more like making him embarrassed.

"It seems that you are a hard-boiled duck. Su Yixuan, if you dare to fight, I will give you 100 taels of silver for my cousin's Shanglian, how about it?"

"Is there a lottery?" Su Chen casually drank a cup of fruit brew, and when he heard the other party say the money, his interest suddenly grew.

"Yes, as long as you and my cousin win the couplet, I will give you 100 taels of silver." Ding Yin planned to use silver as a bait. He was born as a merchant, and he liked to use money to solve problems at critical moments.

For many readers, throwing money out is an act full of copper smells, which is not ashamed by real readers, and is degrading.

But Su Chen felt that, with this kind of luck, he would not make money if he didn't make any money. Even if he couldn't match Ye Chen's, he knew that there were a lot of absolutes in the past, and he could also get stuck on the other side.So, even if you can't lie down and win, you won't really lose!

"I said earlier that there is a lot of money, so I'm interested. Let me tell you in advance that your cousin will come up with any questions, no matter how difficult it is. If I match the last one, it will be 100 taels of silver."

"For the last couplet, it's only 100 taels of silver!" Ding Yin was taken aback. Although his Ding family was rich and not short of money, 100 taels for a couplet was still a bit much.

Ding Yin asked back, "What if you're not right?"

"When I don't get it right, I will also come up with a first couplet to make your cousin Ye Tanhua get it right. Even if he can't answer it, even if it's even. If it's right, I will admit defeat." Su Chen smiled slightly. , anyway, he has no money, just admit defeat, he will never lose money again.

Ding Yin thought about it for a while, but he didn't care about silver, and wanted to make Su Yixuan admit defeat in public, lose his reputation, and get out of Runzhou, so that his pursuit of Bai Susu would be much smoother.

"Okay, that's the deal, everyone, please testify and see how this person lost his fame for the sake of money!" Ding Yin laughed and took the lead in mocking.

Some talented people from Runzhou really frowned. At first Mr. Su said he wasn't interested, but when he got a lot of money, it was indeed ungentlemanly to fight couplets for money.However, for the last Shanglian, it was 100 taels of silver, and even their hearts trembled, envious.

Xu Qingwan didn't interfere, she looked at the free and unrestrained Su Yixuan, she couldn't see through this scholar more and more, as if his behavior was different from that of a real scholar who was full of poetry and books!

After reading it, Peng Qingqing in the distance whispered, "I'm still a fan of money!"

Bai Susu smiled, but instead felt that such Su Chen felt closer to her, rather than the sour and elegant scholar who was full of benevolence, righteousness, morality and empty talk of Confucianism and Taoism.

He is neither rigid nor stubborn, has a lively personality, and is a bit skinny, more like a living half-hanging scholar, getting along with him is not restrained or awkward at all.

At this moment, Ye Chen came out, looked at Su Chen carefully, and said, "Young Master Su, let's start, please listen to my first couplet: Thousands of tiles and thousands of bricks, a hundred days will create a cross temple!"

This is a pair of digital couplets. It has been reversed from the thousands and hundreds of thousands, and the literal meaning is also very consistent. It can be said that this number couplet is very ingenious.

The people around were lost in thought, their brows furrowed, and they were secretly thinking about couplets.

Ding Yin saw that everyone was in trouble, smiled proudly, picked up the fruit brew on the table and poured it into his mouth.

Su Chen took two steps forward suddenly, and said with a faint smile, "What's so difficult about this, one boat with two oars, and three people crossing the Sitong bridge! Haha, 100 taels in hand—"

"Pfft!" When Ding Yin heard Su Chen's answer, he couldn't help but squirt.
