Tang Dynasty

Chapter 21 The Big Man Has Great Wisdom

Not everyone agrees with Li Mi's decision. They came to participate in the literary meeting to gain Yang Su's favor, and not participating in the duel means losing an opportunity.It's just that because Li Mi is Yang Su's old friend, he dare not speak out.

However, after thinking about it, I was relieved.Lost this opportunity, isn't there a next time?Isn't it just a month?It would be nice if we could watch a big commotion.

The duel between Liu Li and Qin Shengchang was because of Hong Fu, who gave Liu Li a big encouraging look.

Hong Fu moved lightly with lotus steps, came to stand behind Liu Li, and cheered Liu Li up.

The more Li Jing looked at Liu Li, the more pleasing he was. This was for my own sake. Li Jing gave Liu Li an encouraging look and said, "Young Master Liu, you can do it!"

Liu Li was overjoyed, the more Li Jingcheng's love for Liu Li, the more he couldn't escape Liu Li's palm.

"You two, who will go first?" Li Mi looked at the two of them, as if he was watching a good show.

He has presided over a lot of literary meetings, and he has never encountered such a chokehold like today, and it can be regarded as a lively event.

"I'm the elder, so naturally I'm the first." Qin Shengchang wanted to deal with Liu Li wholeheartedly, so he rushed to say, and even put on the posture of an elder: "I want you to know that elders need to be respected."

Liu Li glanced at him sideways, and said: "There is a saying that 'the master is the teacher', you are not as good as me several times, why do you still want to call yourself an elder? I am the elder!"

This was a blatant slap in the face, it didn't give Qin Shengchang any face, it just poked at his sore spot.

"You..." Thinking of losing face a few times, Qin Shengchang had the urge to run away.

Li Mi was about to intervene, but Liu Li preempted him, saying: "I've always supported the underachievers, so I won't argue with you, you go first." It seemed that he was very magnanimous.

Underachievement at the end of school?Although Qin Shengchang failed the imperial examinations many times, he is still a minister of the Ministry of Rites, a high-ranking official in the court, and he is much older than Liu Li. You should respect him, why is he so hurt?
It was really the tip of the needle, everyone felt that it was the right time to come, this kind of excitement is not so easy to meet.

Hong Fubai took a look at Liu Li, thinking that this fellow is too shameless, too thick-skinned, to take advantage of Qin Shengchang.Still, well accounted for, I like it.Hong Fu, who was in a good mood, gave Liu Li a big smile.

Li Mi couldn't help shaking his head, glanced at Liu Li, and wondered if this person had any talents, at least his mouth was very sharp, and it was difficult for anyone to match him.

Li Jing nodded in appreciation.What Liu Li said was too rude. For Li Jing, who is a gentleman, it was impossible to do such a disrespectful thing to the elders.But who told Qin Shengchang to step on the red brush?People have Ni Lin, and Li Jing is no exception, Hong Fu is his Ni Lin, and I wish Qin Shengchang could be unlucky.

Qin Shengchang's nose was almost twisted by anger, he took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and said: "In the past, when I traveled to a mountain, I saw two monkeys sawing trees for the master, so I came up with the upper line: Two apes cut a tree in the mountain, This monkey can also saw."

He squinted at Liu Li, looking relieved.

Although this world is similar to China on Earth, there are also differences. It is a different place where you can practice.In addition, the animals in this world are full of spirituality. After being caught, with a little training, they can help their masters do things.For example, it is not uncommon for monkeys to saw trees, pigs to plow land, and even old sows to climb trees.

Qin Shengchang is scolding Liu Li, you are just a monkey jumping through hoops, you are not worthy of speaking in front of me.

Everyone smiled and focused their eyes on Liu Li. Qin Shengchang started to fight back, but he was still so merciless and called Liu Li a monkey. I don't know if Liu Li can fight back?If you can fight back, how should you fight back?

Li Jing, Hong Fu and Li Mi also stared at Liu Li, wanting to see clearly.

"A horse is stuck in the mud, how can this animal get its hooves?" Liu Li thought for a moment, then blurted out his answer.

Qin Shengchang called Liu Li a monkey, and Liu Li called him a beast. This counterattack was really sharp.

"Hehe." The crowd laughed, only to feel that these two people are really the same, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, if you scold me, I will definitely scold you back.

Li Mi and Li Jing shook their heads slightly, which was an insult to politeness.

Literati can also swear, and they can swear very elegantly, without swearing.It's really rare to see monkeys and beasts scolding like the two of them.

Hong Fu pursed her lips, suppressed a smile, and looked at Liu Li, thinking that this fellow was too uncivilized.

"I'm laughing and scolding all the time." Liu Li boasted without knowing his face.

"Laughing and cursing are all articles? Good!" Li Mi applauded loudly after carefully appreciating it.

"You don't have to be elegant to make a fuss, it's okay to laugh and scold, okay!" Li Jing greatly appreciated it.

"Well said." The people who participated in the literary meeting applauded loudly, agreeing with Liu Li's statement.

Hong Fu's pretty eyes lit up, and she savored it carefully: "Laughing and cursing are all articles." She couldn't help nodding her head in admiration.

"Hmph." Instead of stepping on Liu Li, and giving Liu Li a chance to boast, Qin Shengchang only felt that his anger was not going well.

"Lord Qin will start this couplet, and Mr. Liu will be the next one. Mr. Liu, please." As the host, Li Mi naturally has to fulfill his responsibilities.

Everyone's eyes were on Liu Li. Qin Shengchang came up with a topic to scold Liu Li. According to Liu Li's character, he would definitely fight back fiercely. There will be a good show in the future.

The development of the matter was far from what they imagined. Liu Li stared at Qin Shengchang intently, without speaking for a long time.

"Mr. Liu, what's the matter with you? Hurry up and come up with a question." Someone was impatient and began to urge him.

"That's right, don't waste your time, hurry up." Who wouldn't want to watch this kind of excitement?

Li Mi, Li Jing and Hong Fu didn't understand, so they looked at Liu Li and then Qin Shengchang, it's nothing, what is Liu Li doing?
"What are you looking at?" Qin Shengchang was also confused.

"Master Qin, I just discovered that you are actually pretty good-looking." Liu Li looked like he had discovered a diorama.

"It's good that you know." Qin Shengchang raised his neck proudly, and said, "Compared to your dignity, I am Pan An Songyu."

Qin Shengchang is a big bald man with a blurred left eye, which hinders his vision, but compared to Liu Lilai, he is really a handsome man, and he really has something to be proud of.

"Hehe." Seeing Liu Li's dignified appearance, everyone laughed in unison.

Li Mi, Hong Fu, and Li Jing couldn't help it either, they pursed their lips to hold back their smiles, almost feeling internally hurt.

"Master Qin, you must not have much money for candles, right?" Liu Li began to curse again.

Qin Shengchang has a big bald gourd, which is comparable to a hundred-watt light bulb. Liu Li's words are too hurtful, and he directly pointed at his shortcomings.

"Puchi! Puchi!" The crowd couldn't help it anymore, they burst out laughing, all of them looked at Liu Li with strange faces, thinking that this fellow is too disrespectful, and he doesn't give Qin Shengchang any face at all. This is detrimental.

Li Mi and Li Jing are well-educated people, and they couldn't help themselves, and laughed out loud.

"Woof! Woah! Woof!" The big white dog thought it was funny, wagging its tail and barking, making the chaos even more chaotic.

"Master Qin, have you seen that the white tiger agrees?" Liu Li joked, pointing at the big white dog.

"Haha! Haha!" Everyone was laughing, even Hong Fu kept laughing while covering his mouth.

"You, you, you...don't talk about him." Qin Shengchang couldn't take it anymore, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he wanted to tear Liu Li apart, and shouted: "Shameless boy, I want you to answer the sentence, not to mess around. "

"If you say you're stupid, you don't believe me. You just found out now, right? Let me tell you, I've already set the question." Liu Li proudly raised his chin, scolding Qin Shengchang.

"Did you come out? What a fart!" Qin Shengchang was a little dizzy, he obviously didn't ask a question, why did he ask a question again?

Not only he was surrounded, but everyone was also surrounded, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Liu, you didn't ask a question."

"Master Liu, what is your topic?"

The crowd asked in a hurry.

"I've been out before. Well, let me tell you again: Sweep away your heart on the incense burner day. This is my Shanglian." Liu Li looked like a nice gentleman.

The incense burner day sweeps away the heart, what is this word?Many people were puzzled, frowning and thinking.

This is also a couplet, but what does this have to do with Qin Shengchang?Liu Li has been staring at Qin Shengchang, this couplet should be related to Qin Shengchang, why didn't he see it?
Li Mi, a quick-thinking person, understood after a little meditation. He glanced at Qin Shengchang and suppressed a smile.Looking at Liu Li again, he rolled his eyes, this guy is too cruel, to scold Qin Shengchang like that.

Li Jing's ingenuity is also extraordinary, he quickly understood, looked at Qin Shengchang, and shook his head regretfully.I was worried about Qin Shengchang, you know, will you be angry and hurt internally?
Hong Fu quickly thought of the answer, pursed her lips tightly, suppressed a smile, and gave Liu Li a big encouraging look.

Qin Shengchang frowned, thinking about it, but he just couldn't figure it out, what does this couplet have to do with him?
"Master Qin, it's your turn to make a couplet, hurry up." Liu Li urged.

"Yes." Although Liu Li's first couplet was somewhat confusing, at least it was a question, and it was time for Qin Shengchang to answer the second couplet. Let's see how he answered it. Everyone urged them with such thoughts.

Qin Shengchang is really in trouble, he doesn't understand the meaning of Liu Li's couplet, what's wrong?He thought about it, but there was no second line.

"Are you right? If you don't say it, I'll let you go." Liu Li yelled triumphantly, speaking with a gun and a stick: "I knew you were a late student, so why are you pretending to be a great talent here."

"Who says I'm sorry?" Of course Qin Shengchang couldn't admit defeat.

"Then you're right. You don't want to delay until tomorrow, do you? With your talent, it's useless even if you delay until next year." Liu Li didn't know when to stop, and what he knew was to beat the dog in the water.

Tomorrow and Xiaocai were all words that Qin Shengchang belittled Liu Li, and being returned by Liu Li really made him feel ashamed, wishing he could sneak in.

Li Mi could see that Qin Shengchang couldn't be right, the cold sweat on his forehead was the proof, and said: "Mr. Liu, how should I deal with the next couplet?"

If Liu Li is right, Qin Shengchang will lose. He is very reluctant, but he can't be right, so what can he do?
"The second couplet is: the post-horse must be fastened when all the incense is exhausted by the fireside." Liu Li blurted out his answer.

"It's correct, but I don't know what it means?" Some people don't understand what these two couplets mean.

"Dare to ask Mr. Liu to dismantle it." If you don't understand, you have to ask for advice, and someone wants Liu Li to explain.

"The censer is swept away every day. This is a word for 'bald'. The post-horse must be fastened to the incense burner, which is a word for 'donkey'." Liu Li showed a rare good side and responded to every request. , disassembled for everyone.

"Baldy donkey?" Everyone looked at Qin Shengchang's big bald gourd and suddenly realized.

"Haha!" The word "bald donkey" really matched Qin Shengchang's "big bald gourd", and everyone burst into laughter.
