Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 81 Come on, make a pair and kill him!

"Okay, absolutely, absolutely!"

Lu Zhengwen yelled a little forgetfully.

"Haha, my husband is amazing."

Ying Ning clapped her hands, cheered, and gave Gu Bufan a demonstrative look.

Duan Rui murmured: "South to east, north to west, north to south to east, Tongzhou to pawnshop, it's really neat, wonderful, wonderful!"

Now, Ye Kun was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

He came here to slap his face, why does he feel like he is being humiliated now?
Gu Bufan gritted his teeth, his expression changed, and he thought about it again: "Master Hou, it's just that the chanting is a bit lacking in fun, how about writing while chanting?"

Seeing that Zhou Yu couldn't be baffled even by writing three pairs, this guy wanted to borrow calligraphy to make his face longer, because his calligraphy is also quite famous in Gusu Mansion, and many people came to ask for calligraphy.

Ye Kun comprehended it, and immediately shouted at the crowd of onlookers: "What are you doing, go get the Four Treasures of the Study."

As a result, no one bought his account.

Not to mention that he is just a grand master who has gone to the field, even if the grand master is here, a group of students will only listen to the master's orders.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu also sent a message: "Go to a few people to take the fourth bedroom of the study, and then bring a desk."

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, several students ran quickly.

When the case came and the pen and ink were brought, Gu Bufan wrote a pair of couplets on the spot: "Paint the lotus and the monk's painting".

When it was first written, everyone didn't feel how difficult it was.

But after taking a closer look... his expression suddenly changed.

Because this couplet looks simple, but it is a pit. It is painted with a lotus monk painting, and it is almost the same pronunciation when read along and backward.

In this way, it will be a bit difficult...

On the contrary, Ye Kun and the few people accompanying him were generous with their compliments.

"As expected of the king of kings, such a short number is so miraculous, it can be called a strange pair through the ages."

"That's right, there's also this calligraphy, which can also be said to be strong through the back of the paper, flamboyant and phoenix dancing, quite elegant..."

"Gu Tanhua is versatile and versatile, she is really a role model for my generation..."

Ying Ning has always had a pure personality, and coupled with her dedication to protecting her husband, she couldn't help but yelled, "Are you all just flattering?"

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

Although a group of students thought so in their hearts, no one dared to speak out in person.

However, Ying Ning is a different kind of person, and he said things that no one dared to say.

"Whose girl is this? So unruly?"

Ye Kun looked sullen, turned to Ying Ning, but glanced at Zhou Yu and shouted angrily.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu said indifferently: "Grand Master calm down. This girl Ying Ning is still young, she always speaks straightforwardly, she likes to tell the truth..."

"you you……"

Ye Kun's old face was flushed red with anger, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"The implication of Lord Hou's words, could it be that he intends to indulge this little girl's nonsense?"

The speaker's name was Sima Nan, and he was also a Juren, but he was well-known in Gusu Mansion. He was good at playing the piano and composing music, so he could be called a gifted scholar.

"Your Excellency's words are wrong. This Marquis doesn't think that what Ying Ning said is wrong, so why would you indulge me?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Kun and the others immediately exploded.

"You... what did you say?"

"Even if you are Master Hou, you can't humiliate us like this?"

"That's right, how can there be such hospitality as you, Lord Hou?"

It's fine if they don't say these things, but when they did, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sneered and said, "Everyone, ask yourself, are you really here to be a guest?"

"Okay, the old man is lazy to accompany you in arguing with your tongue. If you are really capable, just read this couplet."

"That's right, if Lord Hou can match up with this pair, I will be convinced."

This group of people decided that it was impossible for Zhou Yu to match up, because they also felt that this match was quite difficult.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu went to the front of the case and smiled: "Well, I will let you and others be convinced!"

After finishing speaking, the brushwork is like flying, like clouds and flowing water, like a phoenix floating in the sky, and seven strong and powerful characters appear on the paper: Shu Lin Han Tie Han Lin Shu.

Right now, not only is it neat, but it also has a visceral momentum and artistic conception that overwhelms the first couplet.

Let's talk about calligraphy...

It may not feel too deep if you look at it separately, but the difference between the two characters is obvious when they are put together.

If you have to describe it, Gu Bufan's words look like black and white, but looking at Zhou Yu's picture, people will ignore the white paper, and only see those few words that are flying away.

In other words, Gu Bufan's characters lack a kind of spirituality in comparison.

How could his skills be comparable to Zhou Yu's?
For one thing, Zhou Yu insisted on going to Zangshuge to read books, practice calligraphy, play the piano, and draw pictures every day. At the same time, he would also get a kind of aura BUFF blessing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one hour of practice can be equivalent to several days of ordinary people's practice.

Not to mention the systematic talent skill increase.

"Guru..."

Gu Bufan stared blankly at Zhou Yu's second couplet, and couldn't help but swallowed awkwardly.

"That's right! That's right, sir!"

Finally, some students came to their senses and couldn't help cheering loudly.

"Paint the lotus flower and the monk's painting, and the book Linhan Tie Hanlin Book... Eternal absolute, eternal absolute!"

"Hee hee, I knew that sir would be able to match."

Ying Ning was overjoyed, tugging at her husband's arm and giggling.

This time, Ye Kun's old face was a little hard to pull off, and he wanted to veto it, but he couldn't find an excuse.

Gu Bufan also murmured and was speechless for a long time.

Zhou Yu glanced at Gu Bufan and smiled: "Gu Tanhua, as the saying goes, come and don't be indecent, you have made four pairs in a row, and Benhou has two pairs now.

Since you are known as the king of opposing kings, I believe you will be able to easily continue the upper and lower couplets. "

Gu Bufan's eyelids twitched, and he forced himself to put on a smile and said, "Also ask Master Hou to be right."

He can't refuse, can he?To refuse means that he admits defeat.

"it is good!"

Zhou Yu once again swiped his pen and wrote down two couplets:
The first couplet has only five characters: Yansuo Pond Willow.

The second couplet has ten characters: the sea is falling toward and toward.

After seeing the two pairs on the paper clearly, Gu Bufan was in a bad mood, with a dense layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

And a group of students didn't see the beauty at first, and they all thought about the next couplet in their minds.

As a result, the product comes and goes, so I know that this couplet is not simple...

The first couplet, only five words, Yansuo Pond Willow, logically speaking, it is not difficult to match.

But if you take a closer look, these five characters are absolutely perfect. The radicals of the five characters represent the five elements, which are gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The five characters cleverly embed the five elements in it, and it is not a mechanical statement. Its artistic conception is profound, as if a picture scroll is presented in front of people's eyes, which is really amazing.

The second couplet doesn't look good, but it should be easier than the first couplet.

"Bufan, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and be right..."

Ye Kun also knew that this duo was difficult to match, but no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't lose face face to face, right?At any rate, it's better to find a way to go down if you fool around.

"This……"

Gu Bufan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, racking his brains to think of the second line.

At this time, Ying Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "If you can't think of it, the little girl will help you think of one. How about gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?"

"Okay, good union!" Some students took the opportunity to boo: "Yan Suo Pond Willow, Metal Wood Water Fire Earth, it's quite easy to say."

"Yingning is doing great!"

Ying Ning clasped her fists with a smile: "Hee hee, thank you for your support!"

Ye Kun was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, wishing he could go up and continue the couplet by himself.

However, after much deliberation, even he couldn't think of a suitable second line.

Seeing Gu Bufan's demeanor of contemplation, Sima Nan had a thought, and hurried forward to smooth things over:

"Hehe, Lord Jinghou is really quick-witted, even brother Bufan was admitted.

How about this, let Brother Bufan think about it for a while.

I am not talented, I have a little knowledge of piano art, and I would like to play a song to help everyone feel good..."

Obviously, this is because they can't compare with each other, they can't compare with calligraphy, and they want to compare their piano skills with different tricks.

"Go get the piano."

Zhou Yu gave instructions to a student.

"Thank you, Lord Jinghou."

"You're welcome……"

After fetching the Guqin, Sima Nan sat cross-legged in front of the desk, first fiddled with the strings, adjusted the tuning, and then played a famous song through the ages: High Mountain and Flowing Water.

As the saying goes, if the song is high and the few are few, you can find a bosom friend in the high mountains and flowing waters.

Since Sima Nan dared to play this famous song in public, he naturally had confidence.

First, I can take this opportunity to show off, and second, I want to give Gu Bufan some inspiration and buy some time to think.

Gu Bufan naturally knew it well, looked at Sima Nan gratefully, then stared at Zhou Yu's pair and thought hard...

Since Sima Nan dared to play "Mountains and Flowing Waters" in public, his piano skills are naturally good.

In short, it made all the students in the academy a little fascinated.

After the song was played, some students couldn't help clapping their hands and applauding. Ying Ning was so angry that he couldn't help muttering that the other party was a white-eyed wolf.

Ye Kun and others naturally repeated their old tricks, and it was another compliment.

At this moment, a fairy-like woman walked over...

Before the person arrived, the voice came first: "This song is beautiful if the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but unfortunately, after all, it still lacks a bit of spiritual energy..."

Hearing this, Sima Nan, who was complacent, changed his expression and glanced over with a frown.

"Min'er, why are you here?"

Zhou Yu walked forward with a smile and asked softly.

Bai Min'er has been traveling abroad, and sometimes went back to the sect to have a look. After hearing that Zhou Yu was conferred the title of Marquis of Jing'an, she came here specially to congratulate her, and at the same time, to have a small gathering.

"I heard from someone in the mansion that someone was competing with you in talent, so I came over to have a look."

"Hehe, it's nothing...Min'er, let me introduce you. These are all celebrities from the Gusu Mansion. This is Grand Master Ye..."

After the introduction, Zhou Yu took the initiative and said, "Everyone, this is Bai Min'er, this Marquis' fiancée."

Hearing the word fiancee, Bai Min'er's face was rosy, and her heart was sweet.

Although the relationship between the two has been established long ago, this is the first time Zhou Yu has disclosed the relationship between the two in front of so many people.

"So it's the future Mrs. Hou Ye, sorry for your disrespect!"

"I didn't expect Master Hou to have such a blessing..."

Ye Kun and the others pretended to be polite...
