Xie Jin was also one of the child prodigies of the Ming Dynasty, a native of Jishui, Jiangxi. In the 20th year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, he won the first place in the provincial examination in Jiangxi Province, which is also known as Jie Yuan, so he was called Jie Jieyuan.

At this time, a side of Yushan Academy published the first couplet: A cup of tea can quench the thirst of Jie Yuan. The difficulty lies in the three words "jie", which are written in the same way, have different attributes, pronunciation, and different meanings.

No one at Xinjiang Academy could figure it out for a while. It is worth mentioning here that although there is no time limit for couplets, you will feel embarrassed if you think about them for too long, so it usually takes more than a cup of tea. Most people

They will take the initiative to admit defeat, unless they are very shameless and shameless people!

Xu Jin suddenly asked: "Brother Li Chen is so quick in thinking, has he ever been right?"

Li Chen was stunned. He had always taken the initiative to provoke Xu Jin, but Xu Jin could only "retreat". Today, he actually provoked him in turn. The sun was really rising from the west.

However, at this time, Li Chen really couldn't think of a second line, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in front of everyone, and coldly snorted: "I don't have a clue yet, does Brother Xu have a second line?"

Xu Jin smiled and said: "I am not talented, but I do have a few pairs of second couplets. I am hesitating which one to use!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar all around. No one even expected that Xu Jin actually said how many copies he had, was it true or false?

Li Chen sneered and said: "In that case, Brother Xu, please tell me everything so that everyone can see it!"

This first couplet was so perfect that Li Chen didn't believe that Xu Jin could come up with several second couplets, so he retaliated decisively. If Xu Jin couldn't come up with more than three second couplets, then he would be slapping himself in the face and humiliating himself.

"Oh, did I hear it right? This Xu... what, how many second couplets does Mr. Xu have? Then come out and listen to it!" Min Shixun from Yushan Academy said in a weird manner.

Xu Jin took a step forward and said tit for tat: "Well, Min, is it true that the number of arrows you can throw can be determined by the number of lower couplets you throw out?"

Min Shixun's face was slightly stiff. Although he was quick with his words, he was not an idiot. If Xu Jin really had the ability to produce many second lines, wouldn't it be possible to overtake him?

The little slave said loudly: "Do you dare? Don't be timid?"

As soon as these words came out, the scholars at Xinjiang Academy all laughed and said, "The only ones in Yushan Academy who have a bad mouth and no talent!"

The scholars here at Yushan Academy are all furious. How can they not be angry when they are scolded for being stupid?

Min Shixun said angrily: "Okay, Xu, if you can match three lower couplets, how about I let you shoot three arrows!"

This Min Shixun was not blinded by anger. Although he agreed to Xu Jin's request, he increased the upper limit. Even if Xu Jin really made a triple match and hit all three arrows, Xinjiang Academy would still be two arrows behind Yushan Academy.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Then listen carefully. The first couplet: Five-character poem, giving alms to the benefactor's talents. The second couplet: Half a high note, the heart of Yue Yuefu. The third couplet: Two arrows and flowing feathers,

The helmet of the middle of the middle.”

As soon as Xu Jin finished speaking, cheers erupted from everyone. The little slave excitedly grabbed Xie Xiaowan's hand and shook it: "Sister Xiaowan, my brother-in-law is so awesome!"

When this kid got excited, he forgot that Xu Jin was "squeezing" his Xu Bapi!

Xie Xiaowan looked proud, and Fei Ruyi's beautiful eyes couldn't help but look towards Xu Jin.

"Brother Xu is so talented, we can shoot three arrows in a row, it's so refreshing!" Cai Yue, Fei Maozhong and others laughed happily.

Li Chen's face turned red, as if someone had slapped him in the face three times, with a loud bang!

There was silence in the Yushan Academy, and everyone looked ugly. Min Shixun felt regretful in his heart. He never thought that this man actually made three second couplets to each other. Sure enough, it was not a fierce dragon that could not pass the river!

Xu Jin calmly turned around and waved to Xie Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, come and throw the pot!"

Xie Xiaowan's little face turned red, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she said in a dignified voice: "Mr., shall I vote?"

Xu Jin smiled and nodded encouragingly. Fei Xiaoyu smiled and pushed Xie Xiaowan: "Sister Xiaowan, go quickly!

Xie Xiaowan walked out a little shyly. Although this girl has martial arts skills, she is a little timid. It is impossible for her to be as calm and composed as Xu Jin in front of everyone.

Xu Jin put the three arrows into Xiaowan's hand and said warmly: "Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you miss the shot, just play it casually!"

Everyone couldn't help but be speechless, they dared to compete with the two major academies, and it was just a casual thing to come to your place!

"Sister Xiaowan, throw it!" Little Nuer pumped her fists to encourage her.

Xie Xiaowan composed herself and walked to the designated location, secretly saying: "Xiaowan, you can do it, but you can't embarrass your husband!"

"Third sister, I suddenly envy her so much. Mr. Xu is really different. Xie Xiaowan must be very happy!" Fei Jixiang grabbed Fei Ruyi's hand and said sadly.

Fei Ruyi rolled her eyes at her sister helplessly and whispered: "Don't make any noise, let's start!"

At this time, Xie Xiaowan had already thrown out the first arrow. Yes, it was a throw. This action immediately attracted a burst of laughter.

The correct posture for throwing pots is not like this. Xie Xiaowan's posture looks like a rookie who has never played pot throwing before.

However, the next result immediately stunned the person who had just laughed.

Just a sound was heard, and the arrow penetrated the mouth of the pot as if it had eyes, and it went in!

"It's a coincidence that you can get in like this, right?" Min Shixun wiped his eyes with a look of disbelief.

"Haha, it's in, it's in!" The Xinjiang Academy side cheered, especially Fei Xiaoyu and other women, who screamed with excitement.

You must know that in feudal society, women's status was very low, equivalent to men's vassals. At this time, Xu Jin actually asked his wife to play pot in public. This was definitely a move that broke the tradition, but Xie Xiaowan was able to live up to her expectations and hit the target with one arrow.

Yes, ladies, how can you not be excited? Xie Xiaowan represents women!

Xu Jin gave Xie Xiaowan a thumbs up. The latter smiled shyly and threw out the arrows in his hand again, two in a row.

Dangdang...

The two arrows entered the pot steadily!

coax……

Suddenly the whole place was boiling, and the women's screams and cheers resounded throughout the place. It is estimated that Xie Xiaowan will become the idol of women in the city after today.

"Sister Xiaowan, you are so awesome!" The little slave was so excited that he rolled on the ground.

Xu Jin was also a little surprised. Although he knew that Xiaowan had martial arts skills, he didn't expect that his arrows could be so accurate.

Xie Xiaowan glanced at her husband proudly, turned around and retreated, and was immediately surrounded by Fei Xiaoyu and others, like a victorious hero.

All the scholars in Yushan Academy looked at each other, their morale was greatly affected. This woman must be too accurate in throwing pots!

He Wensheng saw that his own morale was a bit low and said loudly: "Don't be discouraged, we are still two steps ahead!"

Min Shixun said loudly: "Zi Che is right, we are still ahead, if we score four more arrows, we will win!"

The morale of Yushan Academy suddenly rose, and some people shouted eagerly: "It's your turn to make the first couplet, come on!"

Just when Xu Jing wanted to speak, Li Chen took a step forward: "I'll write the first couplet!"

Xu Jin didn't want to save face for him this time, and said calmly: "Brother Li, let's wait until the next round to see what the other person's pair is!"

Xu Jin's meaning is very obvious. You can't even answer someone else's first couplet, so why are you rushing to ask questions with me?

"You..." Li Chen looked extremely ugly.

"Ahem, Wan Zhao (Li Chen's calligraphy), let Xu Jie decide on the question. You wait for the next round!" Cai Yue came to the rescue.

"That's right, let Xu Jin do it. Brother Wan Zhao is next in the round!" Other scholars at Xinjiang Academy agreed, obviously more optimistic about Xu Jin.

Li Chen's face turned red and he retreated reluctantly.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Hey, aren't those Mr. Futai and Mr. County Zun?"

In an instant, the scene exploded, and people rushed out one after another.

Sure enough, I saw a group of people walking over. Mountain Chief Lou Wei and County Magistrate Liu Qingyuan were among them, as well as several teachers from Xinjiang Academy. Among them, clustered in the middle was a middle-aged man with a swollen belly and an expression on his face.

With his rich appearance and three long beards under his chin, he is none other than Lu Kang, the prefect of Guangxin Prefecture.

At this time, Lu Kang and Liu Qingyuan were both wearing casual clothes. They were enjoying the Lantern Festival with the people, so they naturally did not wear public clothes when they went out to enjoy the Lantern Festival.

The crowd moved aside with a roar, allowing Magistrate Lu and the others to walk in.

The scholars of Yushan Academy were both surprised and delighted. They wrote to Jiang Academy to "discuss". Isn't it just to build their reputation and prepare for the imperial examination in April? Wouldn't it be just right for Master Futai to come in person at this time?

"Students pay homage to Mr. Futai, and pay homage to the county lord!"

All the scholars stepped forward to salute and brush their faces!

Lu Kang puffed up his belly and laughed and said: "I heard that the talents from Yushan Academy and Xinjiang Academy are throwing pots here, so I stopped by to join in the fun. You continue, no need to be polite!"

For a time, students from both academies were as excited as chicken blood. The opportunity to appear in front of Mr. Futai is not easy to come by.

Luwei stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Young men from Xinjiang Academy, please don't embarrass our academy. At least let me, an old man, earn some face in front of Mr. Futai."

People around him laughed in good faith. Lianwei was a great scholar in Shangrao County and was deeply respected and loved.

Magistrate Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Lou's words are serious!"

"Xu Jin, hurry up and write the question!" [Biquge www.boquge.me] The scholars at Yushan Academy urged each other.

Xu Jin said calmly: "Then it will be as you wish. Listen carefully to the first couplet, and the smoke will lock the willows in the pond."

As soon as this couplet came out, there was an immediate silence. Although the first couplet is short, it is very difficult to correct, because the radicals of these five characters imply the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and the artistic conception is not ordinary.

Lou Wei couldn't help stroking her hands and laughing: "This connection is over!"

Magistrate Lu couldn't help but look at Xu Jin carefully, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Judging from his appearance, this young man was probably around fourteen or fifteen years old. He had not yet been crowned, which meant he was not yet an adult, but his calm and calm temperament made people look at him.

Ten scholars from Yushan Academy frowned and thought hard for a long time, but no one could figure out the second couplet. Finally, He Wensheng reluctantly handed over his hands and said: "Brother Xu is so talented, we can't figure out the second couplet!"

According to the rules of failing to follow the second line, there is a penalty of one arrow. In other words, Xinjiang Academy can shoot one arrow.

Xu Jin waved to Xie Xiaowan again, but Min Shixun immediately stopped him and said, "Xu Jin, that woman can't vote!"
