After hearing the first couplet of the Governor, Xiao Changan looked amazed. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't think of any suitable second couplet, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Chu.
I saw Xiao Chu's eyes turning sharply, and he was thinking hard. Although the Governor's first couplet was not difficult, it had its own merits.
In the first couplet, "Chickens and dogs crossed the frost bridge, with plum blossoms and bamboo leaves all the way." The second half of the sentence is a complement to the second half of the sentence. It means that the chickens and dogs walked across the frosty place and left footprints. The chicken's footprints are like
Bamboo leaves and dog footprints resemble plum blossoms.
Everyone sighed for a while. Although the difficulty of the couplet is not high, the success lies in the mutual care between the upper and lower sentences. For a six-year-old child, it is indeed a bit difficult.
Lu Qingzhi looked at Xiao Chu and saw that Xiao Chu's face was full of thoughts, but he had not written a couplet for a long time. He sighed in his heart. This little guy might really show some talent in Dingyuan County, but he is still young after all. Just imagine a five-year-old
How much knowledge can a six-year-old child have? It is understandable that this couplet does not match up.
Although Chen Yuannian was a little worried, when he looked at Xiao Chu, he saw a calm look in Xiao Chu's eyes, as if he already had a plan in mind. He smiled secretly, thinking that this kid must have a second line.
When Governor Xu Yannian saw Xiao Chu being silent for a long time, he thought he couldn't handle it. He laughed and said, "Haha, with your experience of five or six years old, this couplet is indeed difficult for you. I will change it for you."
One couplet."
But before Xu Yannian could continue to speak, everyone saw Xiao Chu say, "Um... um... Mr. Governor, I'm sorry, but I want to ask more, does what you just said count?"
Xu Yannian was shocked when he heard this. He never thought that this kid would say such a thing after being silent for a long time. Could it be that he had been thinking about this issue just now?
Everyone at the table was a little stunned, and they didn't know what kind of brain circuit this little guy Xiao Chu had. Didn't he know who he was facing? You know, Mr. Xu is the governor of the entire Huaiyuan Province.
That is an existence equivalent to the level of a prince. How could he still deceive a child like you?
Chen Yuannian, who was sitting at the bottom, secretly broke into a cold sweat. He always knew that this little guy was very courageous, but he didn't expect that he would dare to ask such a question in front of the Governor. Who is the Governor? How could he break his promise?
Although it is a publicity thing to say that a child prodigy is born in his jurisdiction, if Xiao Chu makes the governor angry, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing. It may also affect Chi Yu, causing his own Wusha to lose his temper.
Oh, that would be embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuannian broke into a cold sweat on his back, and secretly glanced at the Governor. Although the Governor was a little shocked, there was no sullen look on his cheeks, and Chen Yuanian felt a little relieved.
I saw Governor Xu Yannian laughing, then looking at Xiao Chu with a smile on his face, and said to Xiao Chu, "A promise from a gentleman is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Don't worry, kid, if you perform well today, I will guarantee your letter of introduction in the future."
Yes, it is my duty to select talents for our Daxia Kingdom."
After Xu Yannian finished speaking, everyone was slightly relieved, but they also felt that the governor was approachable and did not have any official airs. It was a blessing for Huaiyuan Province to have such a good official.
"Little guy, what is your second line?" Xu Yannian looked at Xiao Chu again and asked Xiao Chu. From Xiao Chu's confident tone, he must have already had a second line, so he still had to ask.
Xiao Chu chuckled, and then saluted the Governor, and softly chanted, "The maple pear blooms across the mountains, and the clouds in the middle of the mountain return to the clouds."
After the second couplet fell, Xiao Chu sat back on his seat and looked at the people around him with a smile on his face.
"good!"
Xu Yannian clapped his hand, and the maple tree and the pear tree were one red and one white. Xiao Chu used "Guixia" and "Liuyun" to describe them respectively in the second half of the sentence. It's really wonderful, this kid is really interesting!
Others were surprised at first, and then sighed, the second couplet is simply wonderful. It fits perfectly with the first couplet, and is balanced and harmonious. It makes people feel like a picture after reading it. It is really amazing.
No wonder he is called a child prodigy, this kid really has his skills!
Liu, who was sitting next to Xiao Chu, looked surprised. Xiao Chu had never read a book for a day despite his age. Could he still read couplets? Why had he never discovered that Chu'er had such an ability?
But Liu thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why, so he looked at Xiao Changan, but Xiao Changan didn't seem too surprised. He should have known that Chu'er had such a talent.
Thinking that Xiao Changan was still hiding it from her, Liu glanced at Xiao Changan angrily.
Chen Yuannian, who was at the bottom, was a little happy. You know what an honor it would be for this kid to be praised by the Governor. Xiao Chu's future development space is unlimited! Thinking of this, Chen Yuannian couldn't help but secretly smile again. He had already
It was predicted that this kid would be prosperous one day, but he didn't expect that it would start to show some signs so soon.
Xu Yannian stood up, looked at Xiao Chu with admiration, and said loudly, "What a prodigy, little guy, do you dare to pick up another couplet from me?"
Xiao Chu nodded and said, "Please come up with a question."
Xiao Chu originally refused this assessment, but as he said before, there was that damn letter of introduction. Although he said he didn't understand what it was, he thought it wouldn't be too bad. Only a fool would refuse such a free benefit.
Woolen cloth.
Xiao Tai on the side had a panoramic view of Xiao Chu's performance. Although he was not very good at pairing, he had learned a lot of culture at home over the years as an official, so he also knew the quality of the second line.
Yes, when he heard Xiao Chu's second line, he couldn't help but be surprised. You know, it's really rare for a child to have such a talent at a young age. It's okay to call him a prodigy.
However, Xiao Tai felt that he still had that weird feeling when he looked at Xiao Chu, but he couldn't figure out why, so he simply stopped thinking about the problem and just looked at Xiao Chu's performance indifferently.
Xu Yannian smiled, glanced at the people at the table, and chanted again: "The path to the mountain of books is diligence."
As Xu Yannian finished his first line, Xiao Chu looked shocked. History is always an amazing coincidence!
Xiao Chu has a deep understanding of this sentence. It comes from an article written by Han Tuizhi, a famous writer and politician in the Tang Dynasty. It is also used by many primary and secondary schools as an inspirational language to encourage students to study. Unexpectedly, in this world,
Has it become a famous saying of the Governor?
Xiao Chu was puzzled for a while. It turns out that no matter how history develops, what should appear will always appear!
Lu Qingzhi and Chen Yuannian at the table looked at Xu Yannian with expressions of admiration on their faces. The Governor was usually busy with official duties, but he could still utter this wonderful couplet, which made people admire him.
