"The only pity is that the first couplet has a far-reaching artistic conception, while the second couplet is a little rough. It seems that Mr. Sima is indeed both civil and military, and has the demeanor of a famous general."
It sounds like he is praising Sima Zhongxiao, but if you think about it more deeply, you will realize that this is actually saying that Sima Zhongxiao has a warrior mentality.
Although the couplet is neat and tidy, the artistic conception is too crude, much worse than the first couplet.
Everyone understood and naturally hid their laughter. Although there was no psychological burden in laughing at Sima Zhongxiao, Sima Zhongda and Liu Ziyu were both military generals. If they laughed at Sima Zhongxiao, most people would think that Sima Zhongda and Liu Ziyu were also involved.
Laughed at.
Everyone is very sensible and knows that it doesn't matter if they offend Sima Zhongxiao, but if they offend Sima Zhongda and Liu Ziyu, then they are out of their minds!
Regardless of the reaction of the people below, the palace maid continued to smile and said: "Master Sima's second couplet deserves seven points!"
Sima Zhongxiao suddenly smiled. It didn't matter whether others laughed at him or not. Facts have proved that his second line is strong!
Everyone else only scored six points. Only his second line, Sima Zhongxiao, scored seven points. As long as there is no better second line than this, today's victory will be his!
Lin Yi was still leaning to the side as if it had nothing to do with him.
Although I am a little surprised by Sima Zhongxiao's performance, it is not a big deal. There are not many better second lines than Pao Zhen Haicheng Tower, but there are some.
So Lin Yi didn't panic at all.
For example, the two lower couplets of Deng Shen Village Temple Bell and Feng Pin Ji Sai Hong have a wonderful artistic conception, which is enough to defeat Pao Zhen Haicheng Tower.
It's a pity that the five elements are not consistent and have different levels, resulting in a poor quality. In the end, it can only be regarded as a good sentence on the same level as Pao Zhen Haicheng Tower.
"Sima Zhongda, your Sima family is really talented! Your cousin wrote the second line, why don't you express your gratitude?"
Liu Zizhu felt that he and Sima Zhongxiao were in an alliance. Now that he had the opportunity, he wanted to criticize Lin Yibo and increase his sense of presence: "You were so talented just now, how come you are now a Jiang Lang? Or do you think you are no matter what?
He's not as good as your cousin, so why don't you come out and embarrass yourself?"
"Ha... I don't need your Liu family to comment on whether our Sima family is full of talented people. After all, your Liu family drove the most talented and potential children out of the family and took advantage of our Hongshang County. I really don't know.
Shouldn’t I thank you all properly?”
Lin Yi sneered back. Although he didn't say his name, everyone present knew that he was alluding to Liu Ziyu's expulsion from the Liu family.
And today's Liu Ziyu, judging from his performance just now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is both civil and military. With his outstanding military exploits, he is really a rare talent.
The Liu family expelled such Qilin children and said they were blind.
"As for the couplet, since Brother Zhongxiao has already got it right, I naturally don't need to take action. We are all a family and there is no need to compete on this kind of thing."
When Sima Zhongxiao heard what Lin Yi said, he felt unhappy.
What's wrong? You mean you can be right better than me, but I'm enough, and you don't need a master like you to step in, right?
To put it in layman's terms, why should I use a knife to kill a chicken? I'm just using a knife to kill a chicken, right?
"Zhongda's words are slightly inappropriate!"
Sima Zhongxiao suppressed his dissatisfaction and smiled reservedly at Lin Yi: "It's true that you and I are both descendants of the Sima family, but if Zhongda can also deal with it, wouldn't it add to the prestige of our Sima family? So you don't have to worry, if there is Suitable phrases come as they come!"
To be honest, Sima Zhongda really doesn’t believe that Lin Yi can come up with a better second line!
Although Lin Yi has shown great talent in couplets, he is very confident in his second couplet of Cannon Town Haicheng Tower, and thinks that there can be no more suitable second couplet than this one.
"That's right! Sima Zhongda, just be right with one of them! Let us see the majesty of the two masters of the Sima family!"
"This statement makes sense. If two heroes from the Sima family can face this eternal absolute, it would be a great story..."
"Sima Zhongda, just come up..."
…………
There were a lot of people making noises around, and they were all people who were just watching the excitement and didn't take it too seriously.
Some want to see Lin Yi's jokes, some want to see Sima Zhongxiao's jokes, and some simply want to see the Sima family's jokes.
To sum it up, I just want to see a joke!
"In this case, I am so disrespectful, so I can only deal with it reluctantly!"
Lin Yi smiled calmly, and Shi Shiran walked through the crowd of people who were automatically separated, went to the writing desk, picked up the brush, dipped it in thick ink, and then wrote on the blank paper with a single stroke!
——Peach burning Jinjiang embankment!
"This couplet also has its origin. In our Hongshang County, there is a Jinjiang River. Countless peach trees are planted on the banks of the river. Every spring, when the flowers bloom, the peach blossoms are brilliant and dazzling. They are reflected in the river. As the river fluctuates, they seem to be on fire. .”
Lin Yi put down his pen, picked up the paper and explained casually: "If you look at it from a distance, you can see the embankment, as if it were wrapped in flames. It's so pleasing to the eye, it's really unimaginable unless you see it with your own eyes!"
Those among the melon-eating crowd who had no grievances and conflicts with Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little leisurely and fascinated after listening to Lin Yi's introduction, thinking that if they had a chance, they must go to the Jinjiang Dam for a walk!
However, they didn't know that Lin Yi himself, who had said so categorically, had actually never seen any Jinjiang, peach blossoms, or dams. He was just talking nonsense based on his imagination!
There is indeed a Jinjiang River in Hongshang County. Lin Yi knew this from the geographical map. He also knew that there was a dam on the Jinjiang River. I don't know if there were peach trees on the dam... or not!
Geographic maps don’t tell you which tree is planted where!
So in the final analysis, this is still nonsense, but everyone is convinced, including Sima Zhongxiao and Feng Zhipeng, who are from Hongshang County.
They know about the Jinjiang River... but they have no idea whether there is a dam on the Jinjiang River or whether there are peach trees on the dam.
Therefore, they thought that Lin Yi traveled around and led troops to fight, and his knowledge might be more extensive. How could they dare to suspect that Lin Yi was actually telling nonsense?
"Brother Zhongxiao, does your Hongshang County have such a place?"
Liu Zimei secretly asked Sima Zhongxiao in a low voice: "When spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, can Brother Zhongxiao accompany us brothers to go sightseeing?"
Several members of the Liu family had already made up their mind to form an alliance with Sima Zhongxiao to deal with Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu, so naturally they did something that could bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
"No problem! I will definitely take a few brothers with me when the time comes!"
Sima Zhongxiao couldn't say that he didn't know, he could only agree with a smile.
