"I don't want to make a pair, I just want to buy it. Give me one first!" shouted a dandy below who had trouble with Gu Ying.
Unlike Gu Ying, they didn't have ink in their belly, but they didn't want to be embarrassed, so they just wanted to buy it.
But some of those scholars and literati who are rushing to take the exams will be short of money, but if they leave behind wonderful sentences, they can also gain success.
"From the second day after opening, if you can write poems, leave calligraphy, and praise everyone, you can get a copy of Sushan for free, but buying a copy will cost ten taels of silver."
Lan Yunyi opened her thin lips slightly and smiled at everyone, with a bit of cunning hidden in her eyes.
Except for today, the people who can eat this Sushan in the future will either have a lot of money or have a lot of knowledge. No matter what it is, as long as they can eat this Sushan, they will definitely be extremely enviable.
"Then I will give ten portions to share with my concubines!"
"Hey, I want twenty portions! Even the guard guarding the door can eat it!"
The young masters in the shop competed with each other. They lacked everything, but the most indispensable thing was money. They couldn't let Gu Er get the glory by himself.
Li Erniu looked at the piles of white money in front of the counter, and his mouth formed an O shape. The shopkeeper made three hundred taels of silver directly with just one sentence!
I heard that Lan Wanru's shop only made two hundred taels of silver after a day's work.
He thought of Sun Cai's face that morning, and imagined his expression after learning about this, and he felt a sense of joy in his heart.
On the other side, talented men and beautiful ladies took turns telling their own opinions on this couplet.
"..."
"The subtlety of this couplet is that it is not limited to one reading method. I would like to ask if anyone present has any other original interpretations?"
After listening to the answers of several scholars, Lan Yunyi continued to ask with a slight smile, but her eyes searched the crowd and finally fell on Song Zhiru.
Her words seemed like she was asking him.
Song Zhiru held a folding fan in his hand, nodded slightly towards her, and walked out of the crowd with a smile.
"See you in the bottom: or read as the Yun Dynasty, the dynasty, the dynasty, the dynasty is scattered;

"It means that the clouds in the sky sometimes gather and sometimes disperse. The tide will also rise and fall. One will wax and wane, the other will grow, and the yin and yang will be in harmony, so that all things will continue to grow."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they showed expressions of sudden realization, and in an instant, roaring applause erupted in the inn.
"As expected of Brother Song! He actually explained the principle of the harmony of yin and yang, and the one decreases and the other increases! I'm really impressed!"
Song Zhiru listened to the praises from everyone, but his face showed a little shame. He cupped his hands towards Lan Yunyi, with some admiration in his eyes, and said respectfully——
"Song is just doing his job. The shopkeeper's couplet is so interesting, overlapping, and thought-provoking. It can be said to be eternal and absolute. We really admire it."
"Young Master Song knows the subtleties and is a role model for us. This couplet is just an accidental observation of mine, just picking up the wisdom of others."
This couplet was accidentally discovered in a tattered book when she was in Xishan in her previous life. The book was not considered old, but it was placed on the corner of the table by her uncle.
In addition to this couplet, there were many exquisite sentences in it. Seeing that she liked it, my uncle happily exchanged the book for a jar of wine with her.
I didn't expect that it would be used in such a way in this life.
Song Zhiru's pair undoubtedly came out on top, so Lan Yunyi ordered two young men to carry out the carefully prepared cake from the kitchen.
The cake was made very big, almost enough for dozens of people to eat. A lifelike three-dimensional carp was also made on the surface, and a dragon gate stood next to it, which meant the names of the scholars and talents in front of them.
"This... koi is a real live fish??" When someone in the audience saw the carp, their eyes widened in surprise. The carp was even more beautifully made than the one painted by the palace painter!
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, but when they saw what the boy carried out, they realized that their laughter was too shallow.
"I have never seen food in paintings and paintings in food. Shopkeeper Lan is really a wonderful person!" Everyone present stood up one after another in order to see clearly what Lan Yunyi was holding.
When they saw the lifelike carp, the aroma of milk that hit their nostrils reminded them of Sushan just now. Thinking of this, everyone was almost salivating. I wonder if the cake that was the finale tasted better?
"The name of this cake is actually what my uncle thought. It is for celebrating birthdays, and today I made it in the shape of a carp leaping over the dragon gate. It can also be regarded as congratulations to Mr. Song for winning the first place, and congratulations to all of you for your success every year.
today."
Song Zhiru's usually distant face now had a somewhat real smile. He stared at Lan Yunyi's smiling face behind the cake for a long time, and finally said.
"Then I invite you all to enjoy it together. It also allows us to feel the joy of Shopkeeper Lan's opening."
Everyone in the shop was given a piece of cake. When Gu Rong finished her last bite of cake, she still felt that she was still unsatisfied.
She had been raised by her grandmother since she was a child and had tasted all kinds of delicacies in the world, but she had never tasted anything like this!
Dessert? Birthday banquet? Lifelike carp?
She has found the birthday gift for her grandmother’s birthday party!
————————
Yan Yinxiao lazily leaned on the couch of the carriage, half-squinting his eyes and dozing off. Although the carriage was moving, there was no shaking in the carriage.
As if he felt the carriage slowing down, Yan Yinxiao slowly opened his eyes, lifted the curtain with his sharp fingers and looked at Shi Song who was driving the carriage, his frown showing his impatience.
"Why did you stop suddenly?" His clear voice was a little cold.
Shi Song looked at his uncertain appearance, shook his head, and sighed in his heart. His master didn't know what happened, but since he came back from Qingyun Temple that day, his whole person has become like this.
The entire Prince Yu's Mansion was also covered with dark clouds.
His heart was so flustered.
"Master, the Zhiweige Pavilion is opening up front. People are surrounding the shop so tightly that the carriage can only pass by slowly. I heard that the new desserts there are different from the usual pastries and are very delicious!"
Shi Song said, remembering the little guard next door describing the taste with a happy face, and he swallowed hard.
"Heh," Yan Yinxiao's face became more sarcastic, "What's so delicious about the dessert? It's different from usual and it's just a gimmick. Hurry up and drive."
He let go of the curtain and leaned back on the couch, his tone completely revealing that he didn't care. This chapter has been completed!
