Chapter 208 Master Miaoxing
Ye Lanxuan was a little anxious and gritted his teeth.
It can be seen that Duke Xibo was already dissatisfied with Chen Changan's repeated responses to his couplets.
He is a role model for scholars in the Marquis's territory. If he loses to Chen Changan, how will he explain to the Marquis?
Ye Lanxuan walked to the four treasures of the study, raised his hand and quickly wrote a couplet.
Ordering his men to hold it in a proper position, Ye Lanxuan looked at Chen Changan and said, "This is an eternal masterpiece. If you can match it, I lose!"
"Give you some time, take your time to read it and think carefully!"
They all looked towards the couplet and saw the words written on it: Tune the zither, tune to a new tune, tune to a new tune, and tune to a wonderful tune.
Lu Fengsheng and others were speechless for a moment, and Yan Qing was also full of thoughts.
This tune is so painful to read. If I can't read the beauty of this couplet, how can I respond?
Everyone looked at Chen Changan.
Chu Yanran was delighted and sneered, "Foolish boy, aren't you the top scholar? Aren't your poems collected by the royal family?"
"Today, the room is full of distinguished guests, many of whom are very knowledgeable and talented than you. They are not like you who only want to show off."
"What a disgrace! Come on, come on, face it, that's right!"
Chu Yanran yelled wantonly, her face gloomy.
What is Chu Yanran doing?
It is obvious that the King of Xibo wants to attack the scholars in the Imperial Capital. Chen Changan came out for the sake of the Imperial Capital's face. How could he allow you to speak rudely?
Lu Fengsheng and others were also angry, their faces red and their heads lowered.
Stop the fucking talking!
We can't even understand this couplet, so how can we say it matches?
Chen Changan just sneered and looked at Chu Yanran with contempt: "Okay, okay, I can't match it, are you satisfied?"
"I am the top scholar, but Chen Fusheng is the third. He can do what he wants!"
"You are right, you come to protect the face of the talented scholar of the Imperial Capital!"
Chen Changan sat on a stool and signaled his servant to bring the couplet to Chen Fusheng.
Chen Fusheng was trembling all over, and Chu Yanran was even more furious.
Prince Jing'an even added fuel to the fire, clapping his hands and laughing: "Yes, yes, yes, Lord Chen has already given several couplets. This couplet should indeed be answered by the Huainan Palace."
"Princess Chen, please let us see your son's talent and learning, please!"
Chu Yanran glanced at Sheng'er and gritted her teeth.
Sheng'er was overwhelmed by his own words and could only give it a try reluctantly.
Chu Yanran pulled him and said with concern: "Sheng'er, this couplet is not difficult, you try to match it!"
"The reputation of the Huainan Palace must not be swept away by a fool!"
Chen Fusheng nodded vigorously and looked at the couplet seriously.
After a long while, Chen Fusheng finally said, "Since Master Ye said it is unparalleled throughout the ages, then from ancient times to now, no one can contradict it. I am here to show my humility and throw out some ideas to inspire others."
“Read good books, read good books, read elegant books!”
Upon hearing Chen Fusheng's second line, the talented scholar in the capital sighed heavily.
What does it mean that books are good and elegant?
Regardless of whether the parallelism is fair, the "dial" in the first couplet obviously has a different pronunciation. You have finished the book.
Can this also be called the lower couplet?
King Xibo laughed loudly, but Chu Yanran didn't care about it.
"Good! It's great that I have a baby!"
Chu Yanran hugged Chen Fusheng and laughed proudly: "What do you say? Sheng'er is talented. Who dares to say that the King of Huainan only knows how to fight?"
"Sheng'er, you have earned face for the Huainan Palace this time!"
Everyone shook their heads and asked, "Can you please have some shame?"
Chen Fusheng was also happy: "Mom, this couplet is not perfect, there are still many places that can be corrected."
Chu Yanran shook her head vigorously. Who cares!
Anyway, I was right to give birth to a child!
She looked at Chen Changan provocatively, but Chen Changan just laughed.
"Chen Fusheng, do you understand the first couplet?"
Chen Changan pointed at the couplet and said, "The correct way to read it is, 'The new and beautiful couplets are so beautiful! '"
Chen Changan walked up to the four treasures of the study and wrote a line of large characters.
His handwriting is vigorous and majestic: Plant good flowers, and they will produce fragrant flowers!
Chen Changan went on to say: "So, the correct second line should be 'Many flowers are good to swell, and the swelling becomes fragrant!"
Before Chen Fusheng understood what was said, all the scholars were already in an uproar!
"Oh my god, Master Chen is right!"
"After Lord Chen's advice, I finally saw the blue sky!"
"Master Chen is really amazing. This couplet is much better than the previous one. The parallelism and word choice are perfect!"
The talented scholars in the capital were all excited and spoke loudly about the beauty of the second couplet.
In comparison, Chen Fusheng's second line was completely outshined, and Chen Fusheng blushed with embarrassment.
Chu Yanran's body kept shaking. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sheng'er, in your mother's eyes, you are already great. Tomorrow I will ask someone to frame your couplet and hang it on the lintel of my Chu family!"
"Let everyone who comes and goes see that Chen Changan is favored by the emperor, so they are praising him!"
Even Chen Fusheng blushed when he heard this.
A look of frustration appeared on Ye Lanxuan's face, and he could only shake his head helplessly.
Although there are many other couplets, Chen Changan can even match this one, which is enough to prove his talent.
Ye Lanxuan clasped his fists and said, "Master Chen is known for his talent and learning. I lost this round of competition."
Ye Lanxuan is quite aloof. If he loses, he loses.
He walked to the front of Xibo Hou and knelt down: "My Lord, I am no match for the talented man of the Imperial Capital. I beg for your punishment."
All the talented men in the capital laughed and looked at Ye Lanxuan triumphantly.
King Xibo was a little annoyed, but Ye Lanxuan didn't make a fuss like Chu Yanran. Losing was losing, and it calmed his anger a lot.
"Pairing is just for fun, and today is Madam Li's birthday party. How can I punish you?"
Xi Bohou shook his head and said, "It's okay to lose. I told you to be too arrogant and not take scholars seriously. It's okay to lose."
Xibohou waved his hand and Ye Lanxuan stood aside.
"Master Chen, your couplet writing skills are really good. I like it very much."
Xibo Hou sighed and shook his head: "I lost. From now on, I will follow the Li family's lead. I am very honored."
Duke Xibo was also a tough guy. He immediately bowed down to Old Madam Li.
Seeing Old Madam Li hurriedly getting up, Chen Changan seemed to... understand.
It doesn't matter whether you win or lose this bet.
If you lose, it will be like what you are doing now, saying in public that you surrender to the Li family; if you win, you can get the beauty and she will be a member of the Li family!
Chen Changan couldn't help but praise King Xibo in his heart.
You are so meticulous and everything is within your calculations. You treat us like fools!
"My Lord, please get up quickly."
Li Wuling frowned and said, "You are the son and grandson of the emperor. How can you kneel before the court officials? Isn't that confusing the hierarchy?"
"General, that's too serious. I'm admitting defeat sincerely. It has nothing to do with respect."
Xibo Hou smiled and waved his hands, saying proudly: "I know that the old lady is a Buddhist, so I made some preparations half a year ago and specially invited Master Miaoxing from Dabei Temple to celebrate the old lady's birthday."
"Madam, are you happy?"
Master Miaoxing!
The old lady's eyes suddenly widened, and her face was full of joy!
