Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 92
After the little maid on the stage finished a witty remark, most of the literati in the audience knew what was going on with the couplet, not only the literal meaning, but also the plain and subtle details, although it is simpler than poetry, but the knowledge is not deep People really can't play.

In the imperial private room on the third floor, Li Yuan listened to the rules of the couplets following the rhythm of the bamboo boards, squinted his eyes to see the writing on the door frame, then turned to Li Shimin and said, "Erlang is quite talented, but the words written on the door frame couplet?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, but shook his head, indicating that he couldn't apologize. However, Li Chengqian, who had seen the rehearsal, knew it. He turned from Li Yuan's arms, covered Li Yuan's ears with his hands, and whispered in his ear. The answer I heard.

"Hahaha, my grandson Conghui, there are many Katsujiro."

After listening to this, Li Yuan felt that the couplet was really ingenious, and laughed.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, he couldn't understand for a moment, how could this kid be smarter than him.

"Uh, Father, I've seen the rehearsal, it's just a rehearsal." Li Chengqian was stared at by Li Shimin, and explained embarrassedly.

"So that's the case, what happened in the back?" Li Shimin asked casually.

"Of course my cousin won, and the next show will be exciting!" Li Chengqian didn't say an answer, but made Li Shimin focus more on the stage.

The same situation also appeared in other boxes and countertops, but this couplet appeared for the first time, and no one can answer it yet.

Sure enough, as Li Chengqian said, the eldest Sun Chong on the stage pretended to search for a moment, and suddenly said as if he had suddenly realized.

"There is."

The servant girl heard the words and asked, "Young Master, please tell me the next couplet. If you can get it right, the maidservant will let you in."

Chang Sun Chong clasped his fists at the servant girl and said, "Miss, listen carefully, what Xiaosheng is right is: the ground is the pipa river and the strings, who dares to play?"

"it is good······"

Shocking applause resounded throughout the restaurant, and in the private room of Changsun's family on the third floor, Changsun Wuji clapped his hands together and shouted hello loudly.

Then, the maid opened the door and let the eldest grandson rush in. The timid Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also wanted to rush in with the eldest grandson, but they were stopped by the maid who stretched out her hand and pointed to the couplet on the door frame, meaning, are you sorry? out, not in.

"Uh, girl, this pair of couplets has been matched by the young master just now. If I give the same answer, won't I still be able to get in?" Cheng Chu scratched his scalp and said in bewilderment.

But the maid said, "There is more than one answer to this couplet. In short, what my young lady means is that only people who match each other can enter. Moreover, the answers cannot be repeated."

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin scratched their heads and scratched their heads for a long time but couldn't think of a solution. At this time, Cheng Chumo said, "Brother Yuchi, use your super power quickly!"

"Uh, that's the only way to go."

After finishing speaking, Yuchi Baolin shouted loudly to the audience, "My lord is offering a reward of ten strings to buy a copy of this couplet, can someone offer it right?"

Then, the whole hall fell silent.

"I'm offering a reward of [-] Guan to buy a copy of the second couplet of this couplet, can someone give me the right one?"

Then, there was a lot of chatter in the hall, but still no one came out right. Then, Yuchi Baolin was still waiting to call again, and lawyer Pei, who was well-made up, appeared on the stage. The middle of the stage said, "What's so difficult about this couplet? I'm in Hebei, and the king of the king is piercing the guts. It's easy to deal with it."

Yuchi Baolin was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he ran over and grabbed Lawyer Pei's arm, pulled him to the door frame and said, "If you can come out right, I'll give you a hundred punches, uh, no, if the lady behind you If there are such problems again, if you help me solve them, I will be with you forever."

Being rich is really a superpower, so lawyer Pei clapped his hands in surprise when he heard the words, "Young master, let's look at Xiaosheng."

After all, he stood by the door frame, looked at the couplet, and then smiled confidently, and everyone knew that he had it.

"Listen up, son: the land is the giant lock and the key is the key. In which life can you open it?"

"it is good······"

The applause this time is no less than when Changsun Chong came out with the match just now, because all literati know that there are only so many answers, and the person who answers the second answer can compare with the first one. The answer is even stronger.Of course, it also shows that at this time the audience has already entered the play with a few young men who are unfamiliar with acting on the stage.

"Nah, miss, I'm right: the land is Jusuofeng and the key, who can open it?" Yuchi Baolin said to the little maid as if he had found a treasure.

The little servant girl heard the words and read the pair again, then nodded and said, "So, the young master has passed the test."

At this time, Cheng Chu, who stayed outside, quit silently, and pulled the other side to the side and said, "Do you have an answer? We are together."

He smiled at Chuanchang Wen's words, and then said, "Master, you are right: Lei Dang Drum Music Rain is wine, who can drink?"

Cheng Chumo jumped on the spot when he heard the words and music, then turned around and told the answer to the maid amidst the applause of all the audience. The maid had no choice but to nod, admitting that Cheng Chumo could also go in. Played by piercing intestines.

"This person has given two answers in a row, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to enter this door!" In the audience, many audience members who didn't know that the show had been rehearsed at least dozens of times whispered at this time.

However, when the maid reached out to stop Lawyer Pei, Lawyer Pei smiled slightly and said,

"The sea is the couch and the waves are the pillow, who can sleep?
The heart is like wind and cloud, and the body is like smoke, who can bind it? ..."

After saying three or four answers in a row, lawyer Pei walked in behind the door while the maid was stunned. At this time, the third curtain opened, like a decoration in the house.

While the audience was admiring the talent of the pair, the four of them had already sat down at four desks in the room.

However, the so-called Miss Liu Ruyan still didn't show up. In the room, there was another servant girl who pretended to serve tea soup to the four of them and said, "My lady can't imagine that there are so many talented young masters in Chang'an City. It's so abrupt. , but the reason why one woman does not serve the second man is understood by all the young masters! My lady just said that the four young masters are all talented people. Then the young lady will entertain her personally, what do the young masters think?"

"Okay, I have no objection, you will fight against him first." Yuchi Baolin stood up first, pointing at the intestines and then pointing at Changsun Chong.

When he did this, the audience naturally knew what he meant. Duo Chuanchang was hired by him with money. As long as Duo Chuanchang killed Chang Sun Chong, then that courteous Liu Ruyan belonged to Yuchi Baolin. He loves talent, and it is true that he is strong, but he is using money to do things for the talentless Yuchi Baolin, so the big guys naturally don't want him to win, and besides him is Chang Sun Chong, a handsome scholar, he Can it defeat the powerful piercing intestine?The audience were all sweating for the eldest grandson.

As soon as he said it, Duo Chuanchang got up first and cupped his hands, "I haven't asked for advice."

Chang Sun Chong cupped his hands and quickly replied, "Teach me."

Duo Chuanchang immediately answered, "Please first and then teach."

Chang Sun Chong quickly replied again, "Teach later and invite first."

Duo Chuanchang immediately answered, "Please first, then teach."

Chang Sun Chong quickly replied, "Teach later and invite later."

The two spoke quickly, and the audience was stunned for a moment. Then, at this moment, a burst of dignified music sounded, and they came out from behind the table with their eyes narrowed, and said, "Sure enough, there are some tricks."

At this time, Chang Sun Chong also came out from behind the table with a solemn face, stood on the opposite side of Chuanchang, and looked at him with both eyes. With the dignified soundtrack, the two walked around the hall before saying , "Let's get started!"

He smiled contemptuously at Chuanchang Wen's words, "Let's start with a simple one! Listen carefully, there are three masters in one township and two miles. They don't know the four books, five classics and six meanings, and they dare to teach seven, eight or nine sons. It's very bold."

"Oh..."

As soon as the pair of piercing intestines came out, the people in the audience were blown away instantly. This pair is much more difficult than the pair on the door frame just now. From one to ten, they are worn together. The sentences are fluent and the meaning is clear. People who have read the book, just think about it for a while, and feel that it is impossible to get it right. Even those who have not read the book, most of them listen very enthusiastically.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu, who was in charge of maintaining order, had to boo continuously in front of the stage. After a while, the whole scene quieted down.

On the stage, Changsun Chong, who was standing across from Chuanchang, smiled confidently, "Nine monks from ten monasteries, eight scrolls are hidden, and they follow the seven precepts, six principles and five laws, but unfortunately there are no four, three or two disciples, and they are helpless."

"it is good······"

In the auditorium, the sound was unprecedentedly high, even Xuanzang couldn't help shouting like a commoner, and the eldest grandson Wuji on the third floor was even more emotionally ups and downs, feeling that there was no more exciting show in the world than this.

After the audience's admiration stopped, he hummed to Chuanchang, "Hmph, then I'll give you a more difficult one. Listen up, green and red are everywhere."

The meaning of the five overlapping words is also very good. The difficulty simply made the literati in the audience dumbfounded who wanted to rely on their own talents. At this time, everyone stopped thinking about the answer by themselves and directly locked their eyes on Chang Sun Chong.

Sure enough, Chang Sun Chong was not afraid at all, he stepped forward and said, "Through the ups and downs of the year, the night and the night."

"it is good······"

The audience was so excited now, they just let out a loud cry, and wanted to continue to see what else would come out.

Hearing the words through his intestines, he said dissatisfiedly, "This couplet can be read backwards."

Sure enough, after the audience read the pair that Duo Chuanchang just played in reverse, they were depressed, and it actually made sense to read the meaning backwards. Those literati who felt that they had some knowledge just now were completely desperate. Can you play with words to this extent?
However, the eldest Sun Chong on the stage smiled and said, "The next couplet can also be read backwards!"

"Day and day, year after year, rain and wind and wind and wind."

In the hall, tens of thousands of people actually read the answer given by Chang Sun Chong backwards at the same time. Regardless of whether they have read the book or not, they all felt that it was very refreshing to listen to.
