Ling Ruo nodded noncommittally, "Second Brother's words remind me of Dong Qichang from the previous dynasty. Dong Qichang was a master of calligraphy and painting. Even the late emperor highly praised his calligraphy and painting, but his character was extremely despicable.
He is arrogant and extravagant, old and fishy, and even when he is over sixty, he orders his son to rape the women of the people and make them his concubines, and he runs rampant in the fish and meat village."
At this time, it was Hongshi's turn to be speechless and looked at Nala for help. The latter said: "What Concubine Xi said makes sense, but people like Dong Qichang are in the minority after all. How can we generalize? I believe that most scholars
The security is excellent.”
Ling Ruo smiled nonchalantly and did not continue to argue with her, "What the empress said is true. I was just giving an example and had no other meaning."
"Eniang." Hongli regretted his abruptness, but at this point, he had no choice but to go on, but Agui was like this again, alas.
Ling Ruo saw his worry, but she could only say: "Since you think they can do it, you should believe them."
After thinking for a moment, Yinzhen slowly nodded and said: "That's fine, Zhaohui, Agui, and I will each come up with a couplet. If you can match it, you will pass."
"Your Majesty, please write the first couplet." Zhaohui was not too worried. He believed that there would be no problem with his own knowledge, but Agui... glanced at the frowning Agui, shook his head secretly, and resigned himself to fate.
Yinzhen closed his eyes and thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest. The atmosphere in the sky became a little solemn because of this sudden competition.
After a while, Yinzhen opened his eyes and said: "Pawn the east, pawn the west, pawn the east and the west."
Zhaohui's brows suddenly furrowed. This couplet looked difficult, but in fact it was extremely difficult. The couplet included the words "thing" and "thing", and the two words had different meanings.
, he must have the corresponding two-word response.
Seeing Zhaohui thinking hard, Hongshi sneered secretly and said at the same time: "Huang Ama, if you let him keep thinking about it, I don't know when he will think of it. It is better to set a time limit and let him take the seven steps that I have taken."
Match the upper and lower lines inside, otherwise it will be considered a loss."
Seeing Hongshi step by step, Hongli couldn't help but said: "The first couplet written by Huang Ama is not easy to interpret. The second brother only gave Zhaohui seven steps, which is too little."
"If he is really knowledgeable, not to mention seven steps, even three steps are enough to make a pair." As soon as Hongshi finished speaking, Hongli said tit for tat: "In that case, second brother should try to match the upper and lower couplets within three steps.
.”
Hongshi sneered and said: "Now that they are the ones taking the exam, there is no reason for me to compare the second couplet. I know that the fourth brother cares about these two people, but I can't be so frank and selfish."
Yinzhen listened for a long time and said with an unhappy expression: "Okay, you two are princes, how can you be so noisy?"
Seeing that Yinzhen was angry, both of them remained silent and did not dare to speak. Only the sound of silk and bamboo dance music continued. After staring at them for a while, Yinzhen turned to Zhaohui and said, "What, have you figured out the second couplet?"
"I haven't returned to the emperor yet." Zhaohui's words caused Agui to murmur, "Bingyangzi, haven't you been bragging about how knowledgeable you are? How come you can't even match such a simple first couplet, or do you say you know how to do it?
Study to death."
"What do you know!" Zhaohui was angry at what he said. Only a rough guy like Agui would think the couplet is simple. However, after cursing like this, his thoughts suddenly became clear. The next moment, a clever jump to the second couplet
When it came into my mind, I blurted out: "Reading in spring, reading in autumn, reading in spring and autumn, reading in spring and autumn."
After Yinzhen recited it silently, he nodded and said: "Well, yes, it echoes my first couplet, which is quite clever. Even if you have passed this level, next..." He turned his eyes to Agui, "You are
Aknor’s eldest son?”
Agui didn't dare to be negligent and quickly knelt down to answer, "As for the emperor, Agui is right."
Yinzhen looked at him and said: "Akhnuo told me about you, saying that you have been fond of martial arts since you were a child. You can lift a hundred kilograms of stone at a young age, but you are a little worse at reading Chinese essays, right?"
"Yes." Agui smiled in embarrassment, and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, since you know that Agui is not good at reading, can you come up with a simple couplet?"
Such a blatant request for accommodation really surprised everyone. When they came to their senses, they couldn't help laughing. Even Yinzhen shook his head and chuckled.
As for Zhaohui, she had the urge to slap her forehead and sigh. When will this idiot learn to be smarter? It's really annoying to death.
Hongshi took the opportunity to sneer: "Didn't the fourth brother say that Agui is outstanding in knowledge? How come he himself says that he is not good at reading?"
Hongli didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head and say nothing. As for Yinzhen, after laughing for a while, he said: "Since you ask like this, I will make a simple one." He thought for a moment and said: "Yes, a lamp.
The four words "deng" are: wine, wine, wine."
Compared with the previous couplet, this couplet is undoubtedly much simpler. Hongli and Zhaohui successively thought of possible second couplets, but for Agui, it was still a bit difficult. Standing there thinking about it, he felt his head was in a ball.
It’s so confusing that I can’t think of anything to add to it.”
As time passed by, the sneer on Hong Shi's face became deeper and deeper. He couldn't answer such a simple couplet and dared to say anything about knowledge. It was so funny that he would have to explain Hong Li's words well later.
It’s shameless.
Yinzhen showed enough patience and never urged Agui, letting him think about the second couplet. However, Zhaohui knew in his heart that if this continued, it would be useless even if he thought about it until night.
Alas, although Agui is a stupid warrior, he has known him since he was a child. It is not very kind to watch him make a fool of himself, so you should help him. Of course, there is another reason - he is really annoying
The smile on the second elder brother's face.
Following this thought, Zhao Hui moved half a step to the side, and half of his body happened to be hidden behind A Gui. With the help of his body, he quickly wrote on A Gui's back.
Zhaohui did it very covertly, but Nala still saw something was wrong, and deliberately said to Xiao Ningzi: "Go and get some tea for Zhaohui. He answered well just now. He has been standing for so long. I think he is thirsty."
.”
"Hey!" Xiao Ningzi agreed, brought an untouched cup of tea to Zhaohui, and said with a smile: "Master, please have some tea."
"Thank you." Seeing Xiao Ningzi in front of him, Zhaohui had no choice but to stop writing half of the words and raised his hand to take it. He wanted to wait until Xiao Ningzi left before writing, but Xiao Ningzi kept standing.
I had no choice but to give up the idea.
At the same time, Nala asked: "Agui, have you thought of the second couplet?"
"Ah?" Agui responded in a panic. Seeing so many pairs of eyes looking at her, she became even more uneasy. She glanced at Zhaohui and said uncomfortably: "I have thought of something in response to the Queen's words."
