When Li Chen heard this, he stepped through the door first and entered.
Su Jinpa swallowed back what he said before he had time to say it. He stomped his feet and hurried to follow. He had no choice but to pray that the two of them would not break up later.
Entering the main entrance, passing the courtyard wall, and entering the main hall within a few steps, Li Chen and his party came in, and an old man with white beard and white hair strode out of the room wearing only socks.
This is the first informal meeting between Li Chen and Mr. Jingzhi.
The other person is tall and strong, and looks really burly. Although he is over seventy years old, he is still going strong. He has a rosy complexion and piercing eyes. If the white hair cannot hide it, and if it were black, some people would believe that he is forty or fifty years old.
.
It's just that he didn't even wear socks, which really surprised Li Chen.
"Hahaha!"
Mr. Jingzhi's voice was loud and he laughed loudly: "Girl from the Su family, have you brought the author of "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion"?"
This laughter is heroic and heroic, more like a person in the world of martial arts than a great scholar in the literary world.
Li Chen only felt that the Mr. Mirror in front of him was far different from the half-immortal who he imagined had an immortal demeanor and a sharp voice.
Su Jinpa pursed her lips and smiled, Yingying saluted Mr. Jingzhi, and then said: "How dare Jinpa deceive Mr. Jingzhi? Well, this is what happened."
Following Su Jinpa's delicate finger pointing, Mr. Jingzhi looked at Li Chen seriously.
Mr. Mirror looked at it carefully and praised: "Young man, you are so magnanimous!"
Li Chen cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Mirror, this junior is polite."
Mr. Jingzhi laughed loudly and said: "When I saw the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" for the first time, I sighed that there are talented people in the country, and now the leader of this generation has finally appeared."
"The talent of this gift is amazing to me even after I have lived for decades. This gift alone can leave a name in history and be praised by future generations."
"It is my great fortune to be able to see him in person during my lifetime."
"So just now I heard from the book boy that the girl from the Su family brought the author. I was in such a hurry that I didn't even put on my shoes. It's so rude, so rude."
Although there was a huge contrast between the real Mr. Mirror and the image in his mind, Li Chen still had a good impression of him because he didn't show off his posture and was pretentious.
"Sir, you are joking. Good lines are naturally made by nature, and you can pick them up accidentally with a good hand. This gift is not bad, but the talents of the younger generation are far less than what you praise me, which is really shameful."
Mr. Jingzhi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly changed the subject and said, "I have a first couplet, and I would like you to come and correct the second couplet."
Without waiting for Li Chen to speak, he said directly: "Watch the sea and climb up to the tower to see how high the sky is and how vast the sea is."
Mr. Jingzhi had a cheerful and direct personality, and he wanted to test Li Chen, so he did not give Li Chen a chance to refuse.
And the difficulty of this first couplet is not low.
It contains the name of Guanhai Academy, and the context echoes it. Although it cannot be said to be absolute, ordinary people have some ink in their chests and abdomen, and they can get it right after careful consideration. However, it is extremely difficult to get it right, but
It is precisely because of this that whether the second line of the second line is appropriate or not will show more level.
Su Jinpa looked at Li Chen with interest, waiting for his performance.
The three treasures next to him were numb and mute.
He didn't even know a few Chinese characters. He was asked to practice martial arts and kill people, and he was very good at it. But when it came to writing, he was probably not as good as the bookboy who was looking in through the door frame.
Li Chen sighed.
Sure enough, there is a risk in directly excerpting poems from previous generations.
Native couplets like this can directly expose people.
Fortunately, Li Chen is not the kind of person who has no ideas.
After thinking for a while, Li Chen glanced at Su Jinpa, who had a pretty and charming face next to him, and then said: "Climb to the top of Yueling Mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery."
