Chapter 11: Both Civil and Military

Zhong De's face turned red, he was angry intentionally, but he knew that the Yun family was so powerful that even the prince would never dare to fight to the death with the Yun family now. Besides, whether the prince would completely quarrel with the Yun family for his own sake, or he would have to force it out in the end.

With anger that seemed to explode, he said in a deep voice: "The couplet given by Third Master Yun today, Zhong De would not dare or forget it even if he dies."

Yun Zheng saw the ferocious look in his eyes. Although he was not afraid, he was very unhappy. He also suppressed his smile, turned cold and said proudly: "Whether you remember it or not is up to you. I don't care." Obviously, what he meant was

: If you want to hold grudges, just hold grudges. I don’t care about you at all.

After Yun Zheng finished speaking, he ignored Zhong De and turned to Lin Sheng. He smiled calmly and said, "I wonder if the fourth prince is still interested? If the prince is still interested, Yun San will not hesitate to accompany him."

Lin Sheng was a little worried. When he was a kid, Yunzheng boy was not good at anything else except for his strong fists. Even last year, he didn't feel that this boy had any bullshit talent. How come this guy suddenly changed after not seeing him for a year?

He seems to be an extraordinary talent?

He turned his head and glanced at Heng Xuzi. Heng Xuzi quickly lowered his eyes and looked at his nose and heart. He was obviously frightened by Yun Zheng and did not dare to say anything to him anymore. Lin Sheng was slightly angry in his heart and turned his gaze towards the center again.

The old scribe voted for

The middle-aged scribe did not avoid Lin Sheng's gaze, but he did not nod. He just looked normal. Lin Sheng took a breath and said slowly: "Since Mr. Yun is so confident, let's just play around with him."

——Mr. Guo, how about you accompany Mr. Yun to play a few couplets?"

Mr. Guo cupped his hands and said, "Guo Yu obeyed Mr. Yun's order. I wonder if he will write the first couplet from below as before. What do you think of the second couplet?"

Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Similarly, you have three chances to make the first couplet. If I can't make the right couplet, I will naturally lose. If I make the right couplet, I will only make one couplet. If you can make the right couplet, it will be counted as me."

Lose." He saw Guo Yu raise his eyebrows. He was obviously a little unconvinced, but he didn't care and said to himself: "However, there is a limit. No matter who of the two of us answers the second line, the time must be limited to half a column.

Within the incense, it must not be exceeded, otherwise it will be considered a loss.”

Guo Yu's angry expression just flashed slightly and disappeared. Instead, he nodded calmly: "Since Mr. Yun is so confident, Guo will be disrespectful." When he saw that Yun Zheng had nothing else to say, he continued: "Shanshi

The ancient wood in front of the rock is dry, this wood is firewood."

When Yun Zheng heard this, he immediately turned his head and glanced at the Thirteenth Princess and Qin Mulian with a smile. The two girls were confused. They were shocked and confused when they heard Yun Zheng laughing and saying: "Hello, the girl in the long scarf tent.

Girls are better!"

When everyone heard this, a kind smile appeared on their faces. Qin Mulian's face turned red and she bit her lip, but did not speak. The thirteenth princess whispered softly: "I know how to say such bad things, and I don't know where I learned it from."

——Sister Mu Lian, let’s ignore him for a while.”

Qin Mulian glanced at her and said with a smile: "I don't care, I'm just afraid that someone can't do it."

"Sister Mu Lian is laughing at me again." The Thirteenth Princess refused and said, "But, I'm not afraid... Humph, when sister has a sweetheart, I won't come back if I don't laugh." The two girls suddenly burst into laughter.

Guo Yu also smiled and said: "Sir Master Yun is indeed a wonderful man."

Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "Wonderful person? Yun has always felt that only beautiful girls can be called wonderful people. Men like you and me, no matter their appearance, talent or even status, are not worthy of this word.

Haha, personal opinion, for reference only.”

Guo Yu also smiled brightly: "The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom. It doesn't matter. Well, Guo's second couplet is: red maple, black wild geese and blue sky, why do they lack the right color?"

Yun Zheng frowned, and then said with relief: "This is because maples, chrysanthemums, wild geese, and the sky are all representatives of autumn, but autumn corresponds to the five elements of gold. Among the colors of the five elements, gold is white and wood is green.

Water is black, fire is red, and earth is yellow, so this lack of true color is indeed the case. This combination is very wonderful."

Guo Yu smiled: "Third Young Master Yun can see where the agency is at a glance. It seems that Guo's alliance will fail again."

Yun Zheng chuckled, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Suzaku Xuanwu, Canglong and White Tiger, why only Shaozhonggong?"

Guo Yu's eyes narrowed and he said in surprise: "Third Young Master Yun thinks so quickly. Guo really admires these four sacred beasts that guard the north, south, east and west. The Suzaku represents the fire in the south, the Xuanwu represents the water in the north, and the Canglong (actually a blue dragon) represents the east.

Wood, White Tiger is Western Gold, but the central earth represented by Gou Chen is indeed only Shaozhonggong."

Yun Zheng chuckled and didn't bother to say those modest words anymore. He just said: "Mr. Guo, it's better not to be too busy sighing. It's better to say the third couplet before talking about it."

Guo Yu laughed and said: "What Mr. Yun said is true, but what Guo said is not true. The last couplet is: Take Erchuan, line up eight formations, six out and seven captures, fifty-foot-long original lanterns with forty-nine lights, one mind

To fulfill three wishes"

As soon as this couplet came out, everyone was shocked. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety were all embedded in the first couplet. The difficulty of such a couplet was not only high, but the main problem was to do it within half a stick of incense.

It's not that difficult to counter such a couplet. It's no wonder that Guo, the man named Guo, was not in any hurry even though he was countered two couplets in a row. It turned out that he had a unique skill to press the bottom of the box!

Sure enough, Yun Zheng immediately frowned deeply, put his left hand across his chest, rested his right elbow on his left hand, pinched his chin with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, lowered his head and walked around. Everyone else was also drafting in their minds.

The scene became quiet for a while, and Guo Yu just looked at Yunzheng with a smile as usual, neither panicked nor proud.

"Yes!" Before the time for half a stick of incense was up, Yun Zheng suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Ping the west to Shu, determine the southern barbarians, reject the east and the north, the Chinese army's tents have changed, and the water surface can be attacked with fire.

"

Guo Yu's expression changed slightly, he immediately calmed down, nodded and said: "It is not difficult to insert the words 'southeast, northwestern, middle, metal, wood, water, fire and earth'. What is difficult is that I mentioned Zhuge in the first couplet, and Mr. Yun can still say it in the second couplet."

Zhuge Guo admired him so much"

Before everyone could think about the result, Yun Zheng had already made a wonderful pairing, which made people admire him. They all looked at Yun Zheng expectantly, wanting to see what the couplet master would come up with.

Is it difficult to defeat this Guo Yu?

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "The connection Mr. Guo just made is quite interesting. How about Yun also come up with one - throw away the golden hook to catch the crescent moon."

Guo Yu murmured: "Throw away the golden hook to catch the crescent moon... The last stroke of the word 'throw' is an image hook, which corresponds to the 'golden hook'. After removing the 'golden hook', it becomes '

Yue' and 'Crescent Moon' are actually the last stroke of the character 'Dui' in terms of form and meaning, which also corresponds to the 'golden hook', so it can be understood that the word 'Dui' is divided into 'wan' and '月'

The two characters 'jingou' and 'diao', combined with the previous character 'qu', 'go' and '厶' become one character for 'diao'. 'Jingou' and 'diao' are the same radicals.

'Gold' can perfectly modify 'Hook', 'Hook' is perfectly combined with 'Diao', 'Diao' is perfectly combined with 'Crescent Moon', so it becomes 'Hook' again... This sentence throws away the golden hook to catch the crescent moon,

The overall artistic conception is grand, free and unrestrained, leisurely and contented, it is truly a masterpiece.”

Yunzheng was stunned by what he said, and thought to himself, Damn, when I saw this couplet, I didn't expect it to be so complicated. Basically, I discovered three points: first, don't hook the word "month", and second, the stroke

The word "gou" appears next to the word "jingou", and the third word "jingoudiao" is next to the word "gold". Why did the person named Guo make so many twists and turns when he heard it?

Guo Yu thought for a long time and said dejectedly: "Guo has no solution, please give me the couplet from Mr. Yun."

Everyone around him also looked eagerly at Yun Zheng to see how he treated himself so absolutely.

Yunzheng laughed: "Invite silk thread to wrap around the long bow."
