"Haha, this is just a trick, isn't it?" Chen Ke, who was born in the same year, shouted: "We, Zhong Fang, are the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty who have been selected by thousands of people. Not to mention three questions, only three hundred. What should we be afraid of?!
"
A bunch of uneasy and well-intentioned people, they just want to watch the fun.
While the crowd roared with laughter, Mr. Shi laughed and said: "Since the bridegroom has a quick mind, we won't be polite. For the first question, we use the dragon and phoenix candles in the hall as a riddle, and ask the groom to make a pair. The first couplet is
'Dragon candles draw dragons and phoenixes, the dragon leads to the phoenix, the phoenix leads to the dragon, the dragon leads to the phoenix and they return together with white hair.'"
This couplet is a "Dingzhen" couplet, with the title "Dragon Candle" embedded in the first part. It is auspicious and tricky, and immediately attracted cheers from everyone on the woman's side. People also asked who made this couplet, and Shi pointed out with a smile.
A beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old turned out to be Wang Xun who came to serve as the bridesmaid.
"Whose little girl is this? She's so handsome..." The lustful uncle suddenly became very interested, but when he heard that her father was Wang Anshi, they all stopped looking. Shengren Wang's daughter, isn't she a saint?
?Who dares to blaspheme?
Wang Xun ignored the flies and stared at Chen Ke's face, not only hoping that he would not be able to answer, but also afraid that he would make a fool of himself... Yesterday, the Su family's sister-in-law came back in a rage and wrote this account to Chen Ke's head.
I decided to give him a hard time today. Of course, Su Xiaomei was good at this kind of thing, but she was calculated and refused to help. Just when the sisters were at their wits' end, Wang Xun stepped forward and made three tricky moves.
A 'little question' for the occasion.
But now she feels a little regretful. Didn't I offend Chen San? If he can't stand up to him and loses face, he still doesn't know how to hate me? What should I do about my brother?
But she underestimated Chen Ke, and didn't look at the environment in which he grew up. Chen Ke glanced at the embroidered pillow in Xiniang's hand, ready to be carried into the car, and immediately came up with the following couplet.
:
"The mandarin duck pillow is embroidered with mandarin ducks. The mandarin ducks play with the ducks, the mandarin ducks play with the mandarin ducks, the mandarin ducks do the dance with their eyebrows!"
It was an ingenious move. And as it suited the occasion, everyone cheered loudly.
Chen Ke's arrogance became arrogant: "Quickly ask the second question, we are in a hurry."
"This second question is even more difficult. Let's fill in the first part of the song and ask the groom to fill in the second part." Shi said with a smile and said to Wang Xun: "Sister, my memory can't remember so many sentences, or...
Come on and tell me." She is naive on the outside but smart on the inside. She knows that this question is too difficult. If she offends Chen Ke, it will be difficult for him to meet him in the future.
Wang Hao secretly rolled his eyes, but he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had to smile sweetly and said with hopeful eyes: "That's good. Please listen to the groom." Then he easily sang with red lips:
"Light (green) clouds are flying high in the sky, and the scenery of the forest and fields is sky. The ground is covered with day lilies, and in front of the Hengtang (Hemerodon, i.e. Broken Heart Grass) at dusk.
Beside the peony garden, the red lady from Changshan looked like a fairy. She happened to meet the man pushing a cart by the peony pavilion. The man was Magnolia officinalis and a strong young man. When they saw each other, they talked calmly in front of the cart and vowed to live together for thousands of years.
The golden needle flower is used as a matchmaker, the white-headed man is the matchmaker, and the Sophora flavescens merchant negotiates the marriage.
The road will be smooth and smooth. No one will stop you. In the middle of August, we will choose the day when orchids bloom to get married to Fengluan."
What she sang was the self-titled song created by Chen Ke. It was elegant and graceful, and her attainments were extraordinary. It sounded like she was singing about the bride and groom getting to know each other and getting married today. It seemed ordinary, but everyone present was full of enthusiasm.
Who is he? He immediately heard the meaning of it - there is one or two medicinal herbs embedded in every sentence!
Wang Xun was afraid that Chen Ke wouldn't be able to stand up to him, so he quickly reminded: "There are a total of twenty-five herbal medicines in this."
Therefore, Chen Ke not only had to sing the next part, but also embed twenty-five herbs into it, and he had to adapt to the situation. Everyone is sweating, this is too, too, too difficult, right? Who can tell right away, then
Really become a fairy...
How much hatred does this young lady have against the groom?
Sure enough, Chen Ke walked up and down with a pensive look on his face. There was silence in the place, lest it disturb his train of thought. Su Shi thought about it and felt that he couldn't forgive him for a while. He knew that his brother-in-law was not as good as himself in this regard, so he smoothed things over and said: "
It’s such a big article, so I have to sit down and think about it carefully. I’ll save this for another day. Let’s talk about the next question.”
Seeing that Su Shi had said this, everyone knew that this was something beyond human power. Wang Xun also quickly found a step to go down and said: "Okay, let's just talk about the third one."
"No need." Unexpectedly, Chen Ke raised his head and opened his mouth, smiled toothily at her, showing eight teeth and said: "Singing for me is not as good as singing for me."
"Even if you read it out," Wang Xun said with a smile: "My little sister will also admire it."
"That's not necessary." Chen Ke smiled and sang in a clear voice:
"The chrysanthemums are blooming all over the garden, shining brightly all night long. Mica dresses them, and familiar brothers (ground) dress them up. Lead flowers (i.e. yellow red, refers to powder) add beauty, jade (yellow) gold, and tortoise shells are extraordinary.
Set up a hibiscus tent and tie lotuses together. After a night of acacia, a big belly is ready for delivery. A son of Dali is born, who has great ambitions. He moves to Beiting (Baiting) to fight, rides and shoots (musk deer) in Lingze (that is, Gansui), and holds Dali.
Halberd and enemy.
He defeated the horsetail bandits at Chongtai (i.e. Chonglou), killed the grass bandits (Kuo) at Du Heng Mountain, and defeated Liu Jinu's millions of soldiers and horses. Some people say (Arsenic): He is a 'powerful man'! When he returns home (fennel
), everyone praises his work as a great general!"
When Chen Ke finished singing, no one cheered for a while. They were all shocked. It was really hard to imagine what kind of mental acuity this must have to complete this impossible task within seven steps!
After a while, there was a burst of heartfelt and loud applause. Everyone said, no wonder Chen Zhongfang was able to prove that "Shang Shu" was a fake book. This guy is so wise that he is almost a monster!
Amidst the flood of praises, Chen Ke only wanted to praise his wife... He could not solve such a perverted problem overnight. Last night, the little sister asked the maid to send a note to tell the mystery in advance.
He, Chen Ke, originally thought that this was the pleasure of the boudoir, so he scratched his head and wrote the next part to make people blush.
However, under this situation, if he could confront him, it would be enough to shock the whole audience.
At this moment, the man's momentum completely overwhelmed the woman, and everyone cheered: "Third question, third question!"
"This last question is a riddle. Guess one sentence." Shi said. "The riddle is: 'Where is the water without fish? Where is the mountain without rocks? Where is the picture without painting? Where is the son without a father? Where is the daughter without a husband? Where is the city without?
city?'"
As soon as the mystery was announced, everyone started talking: "What kind of water has no fish? In boiling water." "What kind of mountain has no rocks? It's a mountain of books." "What kind of picture has no painting? An attempt." "What son has no father? An orphan."
Ah." "What girl has no husband? She is a nun." "What city has no city? Abandon the city."
No one can figure out what words can be made up of these messy words. Forget it if they can't figure it out, Chen Ke will definitely be able to answer it anyway...
"This sentence is not difficult." Chen Ke thought about it and smiled: "But I can't tell you."
"Then who are you going to tell?" Wang Xun looked at Chen Ke and said.
"Of course she is my wife." Chen Ke smiled.
"Then you will tell me." Everyone laughed. The atmosphere was no different from a wedding a thousand years later.
Chen Ke was also completely infected. He put aside his "famous minister" style and strode into the door. The bridesmaids smiled and got out of the way, and Chen Ke walked up to the little girl wearing a gold hijab. He slapped his hands.
, holding his bride in his arms, loudly saying: "I will live with you forever!"
There are no fish in the rain, no rocks in the mud mountains, no husbands for the goddesses, no markets for the deserted cities, no paintings on the maps, and no father for me!
"Oh..." The cheers of the crowd could lift the roof... The young girl was picked up on the sedan chair, and the wedding procession left the Su family and headed to the Liu family.
Chen Ke had already changed into another set of auspicious clothes and sat on the horse asking for water.
Cao Ping threw him an exquisite silver pot. Chen Ke took it and took a big sip. He immediately blushed and said, "This is wine, and it's fairy dew..."
"Drink, drink something to strengthen your courage." Cao Ping looked at him sympathetically and said: "In the Su family, you just use your words. When you get to the Liu family, you have to risk your life..."
‘Pfft…’ Chen Ke took a sip of old wine and sprayed it in his face.
"I heard." Zhao Zongji approached from the other side and said, "Someone is instigating the women of the Liu family, and they may be less measured."
"The soldiers will come and stop us." Chen Ke sighed.
As he spoke, he arrived in front of the Liu Mansion. The relatives and friends of the Liu family in Hedong were naturally not comparable to those of the Su family. Their number was more than ten times greater, and the whole street was full of them. They were not here to watch, this was clearly a demonstration.
…
After blowing and beating to get in, the process at Su's house was repeated. Sure enough, when it was time to make up, Liu Yue'e's aunt said: "I heard that the groom was just at Su's house, and he solved three questions before he got the beauty. Since it's all
Madam, you are naturally impartial and will accept our three questions."
"Please come up with a question, and I'll follow up next." Chen Ke said with a wry smile.
"I have heard for a long time that the groom is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. Since the Su family has already passed the liberal arts school, let's take the martial arts school." Aunt Liu pointed at a hanging tree on the tall sycamore tree in the corner of the courtyard.
Hong Xiangqiu said: "Please ask the bridegroom to stand here and shoot down the hydrangea." After saying this, he was asked to give him a hard bow.
When everyone who was welcoming the bride took a look, they saw that the tree was five feet high and nearly thirty feet away from Chen Ke. There was also a slight breeze today, so the hydrangeas were shaking violently. They stopped immediately. We are scholars, how can we have this book?
?
But the Liu family ridiculed them: "Is the Six Arts a subject for scholars? Is there any 'shooting' in it?!"
All the scholars were immediately speechless.
Zhao Zongji asked the guard to bring his sun-shooting gun, handed it to Chen Ke personally, and said softly: "Aim at the branch and shoot..."
Chen Ke nodded, pulled out an eagle-feather arrow, filled his Dantian with anger, bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the branch where the hydrangea hung, and shot an arrow... Divide... It was so hard to write, please give me a monthly vote for encouragement...!~!
