Chen Xiang led a group of literati and started laughing.
"What is this? Are you sure it's a couplet?"
"Isn't this slang from somewhere?"
There are quite a lot of things that this couplet pays attention to. In terms of content, couplets are most closely related to poetry, especially rhythmic poetry. They pay attention to the same level and obliqueness, and neat contrasts. In terms of expression, couplets are closely related to calligraphy and sculpture.
In addition to the common Spring Festival couplets, the types of couplets are divided by function such as birthday couplets, wedding couplets, festival couplets, elegiac couplets, etc. When writing couplets, authors must use cursive, official, and seal script to show respect and caution.
To put it simply, there are several points that must be paid attention to.
The number of words is equal, the rhythm is consistent, the oblique and oblique lines are consistent, and the tones are harmonious. The parts of speech are relative, and the sentence structure is the same. The content is related, and the upper and lower parts are connected.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Zheng's couplet came out, everyone burst into laughter.
There is no rhythm at all, no artistic conception at all.
Zheng Yueru also held back her laughter: "Brother Liu, this..."
"Isn't this a couplet?"
Everyone laughed along with him.
I thought that the county prince could write some shocking couplets, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be such a thing.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Not a couplet?"
"Hahahaha, this was written by a five or six-year-old child, right?"
Many of those people were already lying on the table laughing.
"This couplet is read like this."
Liu Zheng said calmly: "The tide of the sea rises and falls, and the tide rises and falls."
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
The smile on Zheng Yueru's face also stopped abruptly.
Is this a couplet with the same word but different pronunciation? As soon as I thought about it, the rhythm of the music and artistic conception came out at once. It turned out that there was a mystery in it! Zheng Yueru’s eyes lit up.
"this......"
"He is blind, he is blind!"
Chen Xiang's face turned green.
Liu Zheng continued with a smile: "You can still read it like this. "The tide of the sea, the tide rises and falls, and the tide falls!"
Everyone was shocked.
The people who were making all kinds of taunts just now suddenly changed their expressions and lowered their heads one by one. Shen Xing had already written down his words on paper and pen.
"Of course, there is another one..."
"The sea tide rises and falls, and rises and falls!"
Bang!
The group of people were in confusion, and everyone looked at Liu Zheng like a madman.
Either so ordinary, or so amazing?
And also…
There are so many mysteries in your couplets, how can people be right about it?
In fact, many people have already started trying it on the spot.
"This way, the wind...is wrong!"
"Water? That's not right either!"
Zheng Yueru also looked at Liu Zheng blankly. Such a tricky couplet was only for the second floor? Suddenly she burst out laughing. This Liu Zheng is too bad, right?
By doing this, you give others hope, but you are so tricky with them.
"Of course, and..."
"The tide of sea water rises and falls, and the tide rises and falls!"
"The water rises, rises, and falls!"
Bang bang bang bang!
There was one person at the scene who was completely confused. The few literati who had almost confronted each other just now had dark expressions on their faces and looked at Liu Zheng with hatred. A few of them even handed over their pens and papers directly.
Dropped!
Is this still fun to play?
"The sea rises and falls, and the tide rises and falls!"
Enough!
You beast!
These literati have begun to gnash their teeth with hatred.
The whole audience was equally confused.
Zheng Yueru was even dumbfounded. Where did such a monster come from? How many people can go up to the second floor like this?
The whole place was extremely messy.
"Put it up!"
Liu Zheng ordered the person in charge to hang the couplet high.
"What about Wangshutai?"
Zheng Yueru rubbed her temples.
Liu Zheng asked the person in charge to bring the pen again.
"Smoke along the beautiful eaves and smoke across the eyes!"
Bang!
A group of literati who originally wanted to express themselves, saw these words and pretended to be fine and put down their pens.
"On the cloud?"
"Smoke Lock Pond Willow!"
Of the three couplets, we cannot say that each of them is eternal, but this last one is truly eternal!
Zheng Yueru, looking at Liu Zheng at this time, was already full of shock in her eyes.
Who is this person?
How does his brain work?
She could almost imagine that once these three couplets were published, they would spread throughout the entire Longyan Dynasty after a while! It was very possible, of course, just possible, that the literati would even be attracted by these couplets and come to Fengming one after another.
Come upstairs to watch the competition. The reason why it is possible is because Yinzhou is still too barren after all.
However, this should not stop the enthusiasm of those people.
Why?
Because the official selection system of the Longyan Dynasty was still at the stage of promoting filial piety and integrity. There was no imperial examination, so literati attached great importance to reputation. If they were famous all over the world, they would naturally not worry about becoming an official.
OK!
The young master of the Liu family just turned this restaurant into a place for talent selection!
Think about it, if you could confront this eternal absolute on the spot, wouldn't your talent be incredible?
And what about people without talent?
Want to go up and watch?
Simple, spend money!
What is sales? What is a businessman? This young man from the Liu family has really figured out the psychology of people in this society!
Zheng Yueru is now completely convinced.
In this way, can the business of this Wanhua Building... no, this Fengming Building not be booming?
"By the way, the courtesans assigned to each floor must be different!"
Liu Zheng reminds me.
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly and nodded.
This is inevitable. Since there are levels of distinction, the oiran head must naturally keep up with the pace. Those with both talents, like Shen Manqing, must be in the clouds. And others who are inferior, naturally
It means Wangshu Terrace, Shui Mo Pavilion, and so on. Zheng Yueru still understands this truth.
"Master Liu, you are indeed a great talent..."
Suddenly, Zheng Yueru realized that there was a real possibility of losing the gambling agreement she had signed, which suddenly made her feel a little frustrated.
Who would have thought, Liu Zheng continued to smile and said: "Of course, these things are all done slowly. Starting today, Fengming Building will be temporarily closed for remodeling, and everything will be done according to my requirements!"
"Besides, since it's a restaurant, the most attractive thing is of course the wine!"
Liu Zheng said suddenly.
Zheng Yueru asked strangely: "Wine? We all... the wines in Fengming Tower are all fine wines!"
She couldn't figure it out. Is there anything that could be improved on this?
Good?
Liu Zheng immediately sneered.
Can the crudely made liquor he drank be called good wine? It's not their fault. There are no distillers in this era, so it's impossible to make high-purity liquor.
and......
The manufacturing process of distiller’s yeast in this era was not very mature either.
Therefore, this kind of turbid wine, which is full of dregs in the mouth, is said to be a fine wine.
"This won't work!"
Liu Zheng said decisively.
Zheng Yueru asked in surprise: "Brother Liu, can you still make wine?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Liu Zheng didn’t say anything.
After staying here for so long, it’s getting late, so it’s time to go back.
"Brother Liu..."
Zheng Yueru saw Liu Zheng turn around and leave, but she didn't react at all.
As for Shen Manqing, she saw all Liu Zheng's performance just now. Zheng Yueru thought this person was magical, let alone her.
"He didn't even look at me when I took off my veil?"
suddenly.
Shen Manqing felt a little melancholy, and sadness surged in her heart.
...
"Son, I heard that you went to prodigal again, right?"
As soon as he returned to the county houfu, Liu Dahao ran out happily.
Liu Zheng's face twitched.
I'm a prodigal, are you so happy?
It seems that the news of his "shareholding" in Wanhua Tower has spread throughout the city. Those prominent families are probably still enjoying themselves on the sidelines, and they must have regarded him as the playboy from before.
When I first came to Yinzhou, if I bought this kind of fireworks place first, wouldn’t that be like a sensual young man?
"Dad, where are those people?"
Liu Zheng didn't answer him and looked around.
"Already almost there?"
Entering the county houfu, Liu Zhengcai said in surprise.
It turns out that in the afternoon of this day, the reconstruction of the county houfu was almost complete. At this time, the windows were bright and clean, it was spacious and majestic, and the overall work had been completed, leaving only some trivial things that needed to be dealt with. There was no formaldehyde these days, naturally. Once it's done, you can move in directly.
Liu Dahao chuckled: "I'm going back. I'm just thinking, dad, that so many people from the countryside are helping our family, it's lively and we can make money. If we go back today, we will have to find a new way to make a living in the future. No It’s easy, but living is not easy.”
Liu Zheng glanced at Liu Dahao unexpectedly. He didn't expect that his father was actually a suitable person to be a parent official.
"Then let's all stay. Anyway, we need people in the mansion."
Liu Zhengdao.
Liu Dahao said happily: "My son thinks so too... It's just, it's just, these people's expenses..."
He secretly glanced at Liu Zheng and hesitated to speak.
Liu Zheng reacted immediately and laughed.
It turns out that this lovely father of mine wants to tell myself that our family has no money and we can’t be so prodigal! But he doesn’t want to tell himself directly for fear of affecting the relationship between father and son.
Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Father, you can recruit people, but I think the county lord's palace must not only have grooms, maids, cooks and gardeners, but the most important thing is the soldiers!"
Liu Dahao deeply agreed.
In troubled times, force is the strongest!
If the two of them want to gain a foothold in Yinzhou, a strong military force is indispensable.
But... raising troops is a waste of money.
Liu Zheng saw Liu Dahao's worry, stood up and patted his father's shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, dad, you can do it. Zheng'er is no longer the Amon of yesterday. You should be your parents. As for the money matter, , let me help you find a way!"
"My son has grown up, grown up!"
Liu Dahao's eyes were red: "It doesn't matter, as long as my son is happy, five thousand taels of flower house is nothing, nothing! Your mother still has some savings!"
Liu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.
It seems that my plan to make money has to be put on the agenda this morning.
Making wine?
The brewing of koji takes time, so let’s start here!
