Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 99

Last year and later, Ye Chen saw a lotus painting in the collection of the official family at the Qionglin Royal Banquet held by the Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu. It is said that it was a gift from an eminent monk.

At the banquet, after drinking alcohol, Li Yu became interested and proposed a seven-character upper couplet: painting a lotus flower monk painting.

This is a Confederation of Literary and Literature. I asked them who these new jinshis would be able to identify the next junta. As a result, none of them in this group of jinshi of the same year, whether they were the champion, second place, third flower, or other [-]nd or [-]rd top jinshi, came up with an answer.

At this time, Ye Chen took the opportunity to ask: "Paint a lotus monk painting, Brother Su, can you match it?"

Xu Kai frowned when he heard the words, this Ye Tanhua had already lost all his skills in pairing with people, but in the end he used the absoluteness of last year's imperial examination as a jinshi, which is really unfair.

At that time, there were nearly [-] jinshi, from the first grade to the third grade, but none of them matched up. When he said it at this time, it was intentional to make things difficult for Su Chen.

After Fang Chenbo and Zhao Yu heard about it, their eyes lit up. They were also at the Qionglin Royal Banquet at the time. After hearing this first couplet, they smiled knowingly at each other, and they all looked at Su Chen to see how embarrassed he was.

Xu Qingwan was chewing on the seven words "painting a lotus monk painting". The palindrome couplet also uses homophonic sounds. The pronunciation of the words is exactly the same in reverse and positive reading. This is very difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to call it extremely difficult.

She pondered for a moment, but didn't come up with it. She looked at Su Chen with a lot of expectations in her heart.

Today, this young master Su has brought her too many surprises, so at this moment, she still hopes for a miracle to happen.

"Painting a lotus monk painting..." Su Chen muttered to himself, and suddenly felt that this couplet was also familiar, it seemed to be a relatively famous absolute in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

According to records, in the Ming Dynasty, one day Tang Bohu went to a temple in the mountains to play, and wrote this couplet on a wall painted with lotus flowers. One or two hundred years later, Li Tiaoyuan, a talented scholar in Shuzhong in the Qing Dynasty, visited the temple in the mountains. , I found out the beauty of this couplet before giving it to me.

As for why Li Yu proposed at this time, why Tang Bohu wrote it at that time, and whether the records in the middle are true, Su Chen has nowhere to investigate.

But he remembered the second link, and that was enough.

"Su, can you correct me?" Ding Yin saw that he didn't answer right away, and the people around him said it was too difficult to go up to the league, and he finally smiled.

Su Chen glanced at him and said, "You owe me 600 taels of silver."

"Wipe..." Ding Yin's smile froze for a moment, and he continued to urge: "Don't worry, the few hundred taels of silver, this young master didn't take it to heart. If you can match this first couplet, if it doesn't match, you can In front of everyone, admit that you lost. From now on, you are not allowed to touch Bai Susu again, as long as I appear, you will get away."

What kind of strange request is this? Even if the last couplet of the book does not match, and the six in front, no matter how you look at it, you have shown your talent, and it is right that the small wins.

"Young Master Ye, this pair of first couplets is extremely difficult. It would be embarrassing to put it here. I'm afraid it would be unfair." Xu Qingwan couldn't bear the embarrassment of Young Master Su, so she held the injustice for him.

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, "It's indeed a bit difficult to join the alliance, but there are no restrictions in advance. This is not a well-known absolute, it's not a violation of the rules."

Xu Kai frowned. He used to think that Ye Chen was upright and had a good character, but today he was a little disappointed.Just as he was about to walk out of the crowd, he uncovered the matter on the spot and helped Su Chen out of the siege, but he heard Su Chen say, "I thought of it."

This sentence shocked Xu Kai. In such a short period of time, how could Su Chen be able to face such a difficult pair?

Ye Chen was also taken aback and said unsurely, "Are you right?"

"Listen, draw the lotus monk painting, and write the Hanlin book in the Han Dynasty!" Su Chen raised his chest and said with a smile.

Xu Kai, Ye Chen, Xu Qingwan, Zhao Yu, Fang Chenbo and others were all surprised. They carefully tasted the lower couplet, and the pronunciation of the word was exactly the same as the normal reading.

After a long while, the talented and beautiful people around them made good friends.

"That's right!" Even Xu Kai was very impressed.

"He really got it right..." Fang Chenbo and Zhao Yu were stunned. None of them were jinshi, but they were not as good as a student who did not take the imperial examination.

Ye Chen's face also turned pale instantly. If the other party can match this pair of first couplets, then he is not wronged to lose.

"Young Master Su is really amazing, Ye Mou admires it, and if there is a chance in the future, I will ask Brother Su for advice."

Su Chen supported a strand of hair that fell from his forehead with his hand, and shook his head slyly, feeling a bit invincible, really lonely: "Brother Ye, you're welcome, why don't I have a pair too, please Young Master Ye to come check it out. !"

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and when he proposed a pair in public, he didn't want to accept it.

Su Chen smiled slightly: "Five words, smoke locks the pond willow!"

"Smoke Lock Pond Willow?" Ye Chen didn't feel unusual when he heard these five words at first, but when he thought about it carefully, his face suddenly changed. Naturally, very rare.

For a while, Ye Chen was both surprised and felt that he couldn't deal with it, so he froze on the spot.

After hearing about it, Cainu Xu and secretary Xu Kai thought about it for a moment, but they both showed shock and couldn't think of the next couplet.

The talented and beautiful people around are all like this, and their faces are stunned.

"Cousin, you're right!" Ding Yin was a little anxious.

Ye Chen pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Ye for a while, he couldn't think of this next couplet, and he was willing to bow down."

"Admit defeat?" Ding Yin was stunned at the beginning, even his cousin who was the third flower lost, the gap between himself and him... Isn't it even bigger!

Where did Bai Susu find such a powerful talent, and defeated Tan Hua.

Ding Yin was quite speechless in his heart.

"Brother Su, do you know the next link?" Ye Chen asked.

Su Chen shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, hehe, when I have enough money, I can think of it!"

Ding Yin looked at this kid with a smug expression on his face, and immediately felt very unhappy.

Ye Chen is such a conceited and talented person, young and energetic, it was helpless to admit defeat on the spot, but he held his breath in his heart, his face was no longer good, and lightly smiled: "After all, the couplet is a small road, Ye is the best at writing seven Yan Lushi, I just saw the peach blossom forest in Xu Cainu’s Garden, which is very charming and charming, Ye Mou felt something, and planned to write a peach blossom poem, how about everyone enjoying it?”

When everyone heard that Ye Chen was going to write a poem, they immediately became interested. The person who can pass the test of Tanhua is definitely not a person who has gained a false reputation. Although he lost to Yinglian just now, he is still looking forward to writing peach blossom poetry.

Ye Chen successfully led the topic to cover up his embarrassment. He walked to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and wrote a seven-character rhythm poem on a piece of rice paper:

"The spring of March returns to the misty and rainy days, overlapping the heights and the lows of Manfang Garden."

"Peach blossoms at the beginning of the red sun, and the independent flowers feel the fleeting year."

"I've been Ling Yunzhi all my life, and I can't wait to live up to the golden list."

"Wait until the prelude to Chengxintang, and keep the brocade clothes for fame!"
