Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Looking at the first couplet, Zheng Zhengjin was a little confused and thought, can this be considered the first couplet?

Zheng Zhengjin frowned. Pei Qian in the crowd almost laughed himself crazy. If Chang Sun Chong hadn't held him down and told him not to get excited, he would have jumped out immediately to mock Zheng Zhengjin.

"The water is clear and blue, the water is blue and clear. The water is clear and blue, the water is blue and clear." This first couplet is really interesting.

"Forget it, let's match it in a more appropriate way. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tomorrow's moon, the sun and the moon are bright, and tomorrow's moon, the sun and the moon are bright." After Zheng Zhengjin finished matching, he asked the boss's wife, only to see that the plump and beautiful young woman looked melancholy, "Boss, is my match neat?"

"Young master, please come up to the building again!" The beautiful young proprietress was helpless. She was really convinced. There was only one last floor. If Zheng Zhengjin broke all the couplets in the whole building, and if this guy really wrote a half-completed couplet at the gate and no one broke the couplet, then the Wangjiang Tower would belong to this guy in front of her. She was really pissed off.

"What you said before was more appropriate to the occasion, so you came up with the second half of the couplet 'tomorrow's moon'. But if today is not Mid-Autumn Festival, what would you say?" Zheng Liwan looked at Zheng Zhengjin curiously, her star-like eyes filled with curiosity.

"Rock Mountain, Rock Rock, Rock Rock Mountain, Rock Rock Rock. Okay, let's go, keep going up and see what the end is." After Zheng Zhengjin finished speaking, the talented men and women behind him all took a breath of cold air, thinking: "Is this guy still human? This is too amazing, other people can't think of a single thing, but this guy in front of him, not only thought of two things in a short period of time, this rhythm is going to be amazing."

Zheng Liwan felt that she had fallen into the trap of the great talent and could not extricate herself, so she indulged herself in it.
Following Zheng Zhengjin up to the third floor, her personal maid was extremely anxious.

At this moment, the maid Digua who followed Li Xueyan pouted and cursed Zheng Zhengjin in her heart: "Humph, you are a playboy."

Zheng Zhengjin knew that he would definitely cry out that he was innocent, after all, it was none of his business.

Pei Qian was feeling extremely lost in the crowd. After being slapped in the face by Zheng Zhengjin, he didn't know what to say. In short, he felt very tired. Fortunately, Chang Sun Chong stopped him when he was about to mock Zheng Zhengjin, otherwise, he might have been slapped in the face again.

At this time, Zheng Liwan, holding up her skirt, walked up the stairs with Zheng Zhengjin and said, "Sir, the last couplet was written by Mr. Kong Yingda, the chief priest of the Imperial College, himself. It has been several years now."

Zheng Zhengjin nodded. The Imperial Academy's chief priest was Confucius' grandson. If Confucius knew that his descendants had distorted his Confucianism to this extent, he would be so angry that he would come down to the underworld and beat Kong Yingda, the unfilial descendant, to death.

"It's okay, let's take a look first. Couplets don't mean you can win just because you are older." Zheng Zhengjin said indifferently.

The beautiful young woman following Zheng Zhengjin simply couldn't bear to look at Zheng Zhengjin. She couldn't help but think that this guy thought he was invincible just because he had made two couplets. Little did she know that she was the one with long hair and short knowledge.

We soon reached the third floor. Of course, the scenery on the third floor was farther away. Through the scenery by the window, the entire lake could be seen at a glance.

"Wow, this couplet is really interesting. It's a couplet composed of broken characters," Zheng Zhengjin was a little surprised, thinking, could it be that Kong Yingda has traveled through time? Damn, this is too far-fetched.

Zheng Liwan asked worriedly, "Sir, do you have a second line?"

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm just thinking about how to make the couplet more neat." As for other people, such as Chang Sun Chong, Pei Qian and the like, when they saw the couplet left by Kong Yingda, they were confused. Damn, what should they do?

"Riding a strange horse, drawing a long bow, the eight kings playing the zither, se and pipa, the king is above, fighting with a single spear. What kind of broken couplet is this? Is there anything a human can match? And he even made a couplet that splits words, what a mess." Chang Sun Chong felt a little unhappy. Anyway, with his talent, he really couldn't match it up.

"As expected of the Imperial College's chief academic officer, his talent is truly extraordinary." Although Li Daozon's literary talent was not so brilliant, at least he could still distinguish between good and bad.

Yu Youwei looked at Zheng Zhengjin with worry. She was afraid that if Zheng Zhengjin couldn't match the couplet, he would be devastated. What would she do if he was devastated from then on?
Li Xueyan didn't think so. After all, how could a person who could write such classic works as "Blue and White Porcelain", "Han Que" and "Brocade Zither" be stumped by such a small difficulty?

Zheng Zhengjin turned around and saw Yu Youwei's worried look. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've thought of it."

"Ah? Sir, hurry up and speak." Zheng Zhengjin had just finished speaking when Zheng Liwan urged him like a little fangirl.

Chang Sun Chong, Pei Qian, and other talented men and beautiful women looked at Zheng Zhengjin as if they had seen a ghost. They all matched Kong Yingda's crappy couplet, so Kong Yingda was really embarrassed.

His first couplet was: "Riding a strange horse, drawing a long bow, playing the zither, the harp and the pipa, the eight great kings, the king is on top, fighting with a single spear."

My second line: "Pretending to be a human, wearing dragon robes, the four little ghosts of ghosts and monsters, the ghosts invade the border, we can catch them with our hands."

The couplet is well-balanced and is not inferior to the couplet by Kong Yingda above.

At this moment, Pei Qian finally realized how stupid he was. He actually questioned others. Now this kid is probably going to become famous. After all, the first couplet was given by Kong Yingda, the chief priest of the Imperial College. And he felt like a clown at this moment.

At this moment, the proprietress of Wangjiang Tower, the plump and beautiful young woman, secretly said, "It's over." But there was nothing she could do. The rule of Wangjiang Tower was like this. If someone matched the entire couplet, the other person would come up with a couplet. If no one could match it within three days, it meant that the owner of Wangjiang Tower had changed.

"My dear friends, today's fun ends here for now. We plan to rest on the third floor for a while." What he meant was that there were so many talented men and beautiful women, so they should just do what they were supposed to do and not block his view from the scenery.

Li Dao Zong laughed loudly and said, "My dear nephew, hurry up and write a couplet. If the other party can't answer it, this Wangjiang Tower will be yours in three days. This is the rule."

Zheng Zhengjin glanced at the students and asked, "Is that so?"

Chang Sun Chong, Pei Qian, and Zheng Liwan all nodded.
"That's quite interesting. You can get a building by making a pair. Haha. Well, I'll show you how to do it." Zheng Zhengjin said as he walked towards the window on the third floor.
