While looking around, the handsome young man on the small stone table was drinking by himself, enjoying himself and not caring about the attention of the audience.
Seeing this, the girls were so anxious that their hands were sweating, but the gentlemen sneered in their hearts.
That Shang Jie even seized this rare opportunity and ridiculed wantonly: "Hahaha... It seems that Mr. Cao Xueqin who did this is just his name. Otherwise, he is just pretending to be Cao Xueqin and pretending to be here. It's better to invite Dongyue."
Everyone in the government, please drive out this person who cheats people with food and drink."
"Don't talk nonsense!" The steward of Dongyue Mansion hurriedly arrived and explained to everyone, "This young master is holding an invitation handwritten by Mr. Dongyue to enter the mansion. It is true that he is Mr. Cao Xueqin. Regardless of whether Mr. Cao is right or not, he can get the pair.
, are all honored guests of my Dongyue Mansion. You should make friends with your friends through literature, and discuss the Tao with your studies. Do not hurt others."
When I saw the steward of Dongyue Mansion coming to testify, I was even more surprised than before.
In this case, this person is really Cao Xueqin! It is impossible to think about it. Who dares to pretend in front of Mr. Dongyue?
I knew Mr. Cao’s identity, but the atmosphere was still a little weird.
Not only because Mr. Cao is too young, but also because the image of the omnipotent Mr. Cao in everyone's minds has collapsed.
Although the sentence "Smoke locks the willows in the pond" is extremely difficult, and Mr. Cao can be forgiven for not coming out, but in the hearts of the admiring girls, this ending is still a bit disappointing.
On the other hand, Jiang Gan was even more proud, thinking that it would be better if you were Cao Xueqin. Doesn't this prove that my knowledge is better than yours?
Shang Jie was very good at flattering him. He could see what Jiang Qian was thinking at a glance and hurriedly smiled and saluted him at first sight: "It turns out that it is really Mr. Cao Xueqin. Mr. Cao. Please forgive me for my previous offensive words. The first couplet is from Jiangnan No. 1
Mr. Cao is not ashamed if he can't stand up to Mr. Jiang Gan, a talented man. The questions given by Mr. Jiang Gan are really too difficult. It shows that Mr. Jiang Gan's talent and learning are extraordinary. He is even better than Mr. Cao. He deserves to be the best in Jiangnan!"
After saying that, Shang Jie burst into laughter, and Jiang Gan even more coquettishly stood up and raised his hands to everyone.
How could Mr. Cao be suppressed by a Jiang Gan?
The girl was extremely anxious, and Fang Rui was so anxious that he almost cried. He looked at the first meeting with red eyes: "Mr. Cao! If you are really Mr. Cao, please say a few words! How wonderful is the "Dream of Red Mansions" you wrote?
Talented? Compared with you, Jiang Gan is like a firefly compared to the bright moon, and a drop of water compared to the sea. I don’t believe I have seen the wrong person! Mr. Cao, please say a few words."
"Yes! Mr. Cao, please say a few words!"
"That's right, how about Mr. Cao also come up with a test to test this guy!"
At this moment, all the girls began to call Cao Xueqin, and the anticipation and earnestness in their eyes made people's hearts tremble.
Even Xia Shang never thought that these girls were so obsessed with "Dream of Red Mansions".
But no one noticed that the knight behind Mr. Cao kept his head down, holding his bamboo hat, covering his face, and communicating with Mr. Cao in a low voice.
After the girls shouted, Xia Shang also said what he was about to say.
At this time, Chu Jian stood up slowly.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Cao stood up and the girls’ eyes lit up. Mr. Cao was finally going to fight back!
Everyone was so excited that they clenched their little fists and were always ready to scream and shout for Mr. Cao.
When Jiang Gan saw this, he sneered and spoke first: "Mr. Cao, what do you have in mind?"
"I don't have much to say to you. It's just a pity that a good game was lost. I feel sorry for the girl here. I feel unworthy for Miss Fang, who was laughed at by others before."
Jiang Ganyi frowned: "What do you mean?"
He ignored her at first, then turned to Miss Fang Rui and said: "Miss Fang, there are all kinds of strange people in this world, gentlemen and villains all know it in their own minds. Compared with Mr. Jiang's rivalry, I would like to ask you another question. Yes, the first couplet is 'two three four five', let's try to correct it."
"Ah?" Fang Rui was a little flustered when Mr.
"Exactly, this couplet horizontally criticizes 'lack of clothes (1) and lack of food (10). Is the artistic conception no worse than the first couplet of Mr. Jiang?' Cao's intention in saying this is actually to tell Mr. Jiang a truth. The joy of facing his son. Rather than taking pleasure in what others cannot do, if no one can answer the questions you ask, what fun is there in having a correct answer? The way of a gentleman is to be happy when you see others' happiness, and feel the pain of others. To satisfy oneself by making things difficult for others.”
"Cao, you said I make things difficult for others and make fun of others?"
"No, I said your first couplet was not good, but you just don't know it."
"What's wrong? It's just that you don't know enough!"
"Today's pairing was meant to be leisure entertainment for everyone to talk and laugh, but someone turned this good game into a tea talk that belittles others and elevates oneself. You think you can make a pair and everyone can't do it. You can show your extraordinary talent and learning by using only a pair of pairs? Do you think that laughing at others' inability to solve problems is a criterion for showing your ability? Mr. Jiang, you really underestimated the weight of the word 'talented scholar'. In my opinion, you are just a talent. He is just a vain person with talent but no virtue."
"You! Speak clearly to me!"
"What is a 'talented man'? He has a strategic mind, is knowledgeable, treats others with humility, and behaves in a low-key manner. He never loses the style of a gentleman in every word and deed. But I think Mr. Jiang first makes things difficult for everyone with difficult problems to show off himself. He is selfish. , he used his power to bully others; later he saw that the girl had made a mistake and was humiliated, but he did not say anything to save her, because he did not know how to cherish jade and fragrance, and did not know about elegance and taste; he was also crowned the best in Jiangnan, because he had no self-awareness and was shameless."
"Cao! Shut up! You are the one who has no self-awareness and is shameless. If you can't show off, you will write dirty words to seriously hurt others. What kind of skills do you have!"
"Are you sorry? Hahaha..." Chu Jian smiled for a moment. His smile was a bit charming and charming, which made all the men and women crazy. "Do you really think that I can't be sorry?"
"Don't try to be mysterious. This couplet of mine is absolute and has no explanation in the world."
"Really? My second line is 'Peach Burning Jinjiangdi'."
"Peach burning Jinjiang embankment?"
Everyone immediately started talking.
When I first heard the pronunciation, the words were closely linked, and the balance between oblique and oblique words was very neat.
This is not difficult, but the difficulty is that the radical in "Yansuo Pondliu" contains the five elements "fire, metal, water, earth and wood", and the second line must also contain the five elements.
Thinking about it again, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
"Peach Burning Jinjiang Embankment" not only contains the five elements "wood, fire, gold, water and earth", but also contains the relationship between the five elements corresponding to the first couplet. The mystery is so amazing that people are amazed.
"Good! Good! Good! What a 'Peach Blossoming Jinjiang Embankment'. It's absolutely perfect for the ages and it's just the right time!"
Even the businessmen and spectators outside the venue were all cheering, and the scene immediately became excited.
But this is not the end, I saw Mr. Cao's voice changed: "Since Mr. Jiang likes couples so much, then Cao will also write a couplet for you. My first couplet is 'Lonely and cold, a widow with an empty window'." (Unfinished) to be continued)
