Chapter 90 vulgar lower couplet
The first round of the literary test ended and the second round soon began.
At the gesture of Princess Rena, the two Western Region maids walked to the center of the hall and slowly opened a scroll under the gaze of everyone. It was the first couplet of a couplet.
The first couplet opened by the two Western maids was written: Qinglinkou, blacksmith, red furnace, burn black charcoal, and face south and north to fight east and west.
As soon as this couplet was released, not only Gu Li and others began to think about it, but the princes and ministers also frowned and thought about it together, trying to express the second couplet, including Xuanyuan, King Rong, and Emperor Dagan.
Especially Geng Bai, who had just seen Lin Mo write such a good poem, at this time, he was even more unwilling to give up and wanted to have a wonderful answer before Lin Mo came up with it.
Lin Mo held his chin and quietly looked at the first couplet in front of him.
Lin Mo discovered that the upper line looks simple, but in fact it is very particular. It not only includes four directions, east, west, south, north, and four colors of blue, white, red and black, but also involves knowledge of the five elements.
Qing means east, white means west, red means south, black means north. Judging from this first couplet, "Qinglin" corresponds to the east, "white iron" corresponds to the west, "red furnace" corresponds to the south, and "black charcoal" corresponds to the north.
Looking at the top of the couplet, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Lin Mo's mouth. If he hadn't considered the corresponding method, and only considering the number of words in the upper couplets matched, he now had two lower couplets in his mind.
Call the landlord, grab the landlord, not double it, one to three, all the ones that cannot be afforded are single.
I went to Taobao and had no guarantees. I went to Tmall and spent all my money. I was almost panicking my wallet.
However, Lin Mo estimated that if he said these two second couplets, no one in the audience would understand and not say them, and would be sarcastic by the princes and ministers, saying that he was not sure about it.
A three-inch-short fragrance was ignited again. This time no one picked up the pen and wrote it. Lin Mo and the other four all locked their eyebrows and began to think.
After the fragrance was burned halfway, Gu Li picked up his pen and wrote it on the rice paper in front of him. King Rong also took the lead and smiled, as if saying: Gu Li, I really read you correctly.
After Gu Li wrote about two or three words, Lin Mo also started writing. This time, Emperor Dagan, Emperor Dagan, and Princess Rena smiled, but because Princess Rena covered her face with purple gauze, no one could see it.
Seeing Lin Mo and Gu Li both began to answer, Shi Chang and Yuanhao began to panic, especially when they contacted Dao Xuanyuan and Xuan Shu's unkind eyes became even more nervous, and they were sweating profusely.
Time passed by minute by minute, just one minute before the fragrance was burned, Shi Chang completed his answer, but Yuan Hao handed in the blank paper, and he was destined to be out of luck.
Seeing that Shi Chang completed the answer before the fragrance was burned, Xuan Yuan and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu were relieved. If Shi Chang answered, there would be no so-called top three.
Two Western maids picked up the answer sheets of Lin Mo and the other two and handed them over to Princess Rena. Princess Rena was not vague at all and immediately started reading.
"First of all, Mr. Gu Li's, Qingjiangkou, Bai Shipeng, hold red boats, load black goods, transport east and west from south to north."
"Okay!" As soon as Princess Rena thought about it, King Rong clapped and shouted, and even the princes and ministers of King Rong also cheered in unison, which made the people of the Hou Party look quite gloomy.
Listening to this couplet, Lin Mo looked at Gu Li with a high profile. Sure enough, he was a bit talented, blue, white, red and black, north, west and south, and the ones that matched the upper couplet were neatly arranged.
However, there are also some shortcomings, that is, the Qinglin, white iron and red furnace in the first couplet, which correspond to the wood, metal and fire in the five elements one by one.
"The next one is Mr. Shi Chang's, with blue scale armor, white gold crown, holding blood front, holding black shield, practicing spring and autumn in the hot summer and severe winter."
Shi Chang's second couplet is also quite right, but compared to Gu Li, Xuan Yuan saw that it slowed down, at least this was correct. Anyway, Yuan Hao and Shi Chang would just enter the third round of the bride recruitment conference.
Lin Mo looked at Shi Chang with a deep meaning. It seemed that this Shi Chang was not simple. In a hurry, he could even think of the east, west, south and north that corresponded to the first couplet with spring, summer, autumn and winter.
"Next is Lin Shangqing's, Yi..." As soon as he read the first word in the second couplet of Lin Mo, Princess Rena stopped. Her pretty face with a purple veil was a little red, but she had to read it, so she had to read it as it was.
"Qingdailou, platinum girl, light red candles, untied black clothes, and removes the east and west on the south bed in the north."
After this thought, the audience calmed down, looked at each other in pairs. As a laugh sounded, everyone started to laugh. After a while, maybe it was because their stomachs were hurting and they even covered their stomachs.
"Lin Shangqing, I don't know if the girl in Qingdai Building you mentioned is good at kung fu?" Although Geng Bai didn't think it out, he was happy to mock Lin Mo.
Qingdailou, a relatively large brothel on Shihua Street. There is a top brand in Qingdailou who loves to wear black outfits. A few days ago, she said that if someone could use golden leaves to build a sedan chair, she would be willing to recruit guests or go out of the palace, causing a lot of storm in the market.
This matter was told by Baili Qingcheng, the "gossip little queen" in Zhongzhou.
Listening to Geng Bai's sarcastic words, Emperor Daqian and Empress Daqian both covered their faces, as if their faces were almost lost. How could this dignified leader of the Mo Sect, Daqian's first-rank Shangqing, write such a thing?
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu blushed even more. She didn't expect that Lin Mo would write about the women in the Qinlou Chuguan in front of the princes and ministers, and she wrote so vulgarly that she wanted to kill Lin Mo.
My client, Lin Mo, looked indifferent, but on the contrary, he was very polite.
Standing behind the low table, looking at the princes and ministers who laughed at me, and said, "Oh, all of you know this platinum girl in Qingdailou Tower? It seems that she is also a regular visitor there. She is really my soulmate!"
As he said that, Lin Mo looked at Geng Bai who was smiling the most and said with a smile: "Doctor Geng, you are over fifty years old and still care about whether the girl's skills are good. You are really strong! I really admire you."
Lin Mo's words immediately made Geng Bai unable to laugh, his old face drooping. Although he was over fifty years old, as a man, he was sarcastically said that he couldn't do it, which made him hate him so much that he was itchy.
But at the moment, Geng Bai dared not get angry. This was in Wenying Hall, not only were the princes and ministers, but also Emperor Daqian, Empress Daqian and Empress Xuan Shu. If he was angry with Lin Mo, he would have violated Shangguan.
So Geng Bai had no choice but to suppress his anger.
In Wenying Hall, in front of her, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu couldn't help but talk about the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and immediately shouted: "Stop it all for the Ai family. This is Wenying Hall, not your mansion. You are my princes and ministers of Daqian. Please pay attention to your words and deeds."
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was angry, and the whole audience became quiet, and then stood up neatly to salute: "I know my mistake, thank you for your teachings, I will definitely remember it."
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu restrained her anger, turned her gaze to Lin Mo, and asked indifferently: "Lin Qing, you are the first-class noble of the empire, but you don't value character. How can you write such a vulgar thing? Do you know your mistake?"
Lin Mo wanted to say something, but King Rong took the lead.
King Rong left the queue and saluted the three of Emperor Dagan, saying, "Mother, my son-in-law thinks Lin Shangqing is not guilty, and he is the one who matches the second couplet the best among the three."
Seeing that King Rong actually stood up to explain it to him, Lin Mo was stunned for a while before he figured out the reason.
Today, Geng Bai made things difficult for him to mock him many times, and Geng Bai was under the command of King Rong. At this time, he stood up for himself, undoubtedly telling himself that Geng Bai's behavior today had nothing to do with him King Rong.
Geng Bai's behavior is seen by Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, but she can't tell why? King Rong stood up and spoke for Lin Mo to clarify the relationship between King Rong and Geng Bai's behavior today, hoping that Lin Mo would not hold a grudge.
Lin Mo's attitude is not clear now, and soon he took Cao Yuan from the Ministry of Revenue and divided the general Ministry of Justice. Empress Dowager Xuan Shu also understood that it was not yet time to get into evil with Lin Mo.
If he had a bad relationship, wouldn't he push Lin Mo to the side of King Rong? Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was not that stupid yet.
So, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu calmed down and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know where King Rong said this. Why not explain it to the Ai family and the princes and ministers?"
Listening to this, Lin Mo laughed indifferently: This Empress Dowager Xuan Shu is really good at changing her face. She was still angry the previous second, but she smiled at this moment, but she never forgets to suppress the emperor.
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu said this word to herself and to all the princes and ministers, but she only threw Emperor Dagan and Empress Dagan aside, as if she had the final say in the court.
"Son of yourselves obey your order!"
After giving a gift to Empress Dowager Xuan Shu again, King Rong looked at Princess Rena who was covering her face with a dark purple gauze and analyzed: "We all know that Princess Rena's first couplet not only contains the four colors of blue, white, red and black, as well as the four major directions of east, south, west and north, but also contains the correspondence between the five elements and directions, wood-green-east, gold-white-west, fire-red-south."
As he said that, King Rong looked at Lin Mo again and said, "Which look at the lower couplets Lin Shangqing had shown, although they were a bit vulgar, they all responded to me. Blue, white, red and black are blue, white, red and black, five elements are five elements, and directions are also wonderful."
After King Rong mentioned this, everyone noticed this point. Indeed, although this pair is a bit vulgar, it is undoubtedly not the best and most wonderful one.
So, the person who advanced to the third exam of the bride recruitment conference came out.
Lin Mo, Gu Li, Shi Chang.
Amid the discussion, the literary test ended, but everyone did not disperse. Because in the afternoon, Shen Shichu (15:00), the last of the three tries of Princess Rena's bride recruitment conference, he moved to Luanying Palace and began to enjoy the palace banquet.
The palace banquet was a bit depressing, and King Xuan Yuanrong did not talk to Lin Mo. At first they thought Lin Mo participated in this bride recruitment just to deal with the emperor, but they did not expect to successfully advance to the final trial.
What's even more annoying is that the two of them were going to give Lin Mo a warning at this bride conference, but unexpectedly, they failed completely and made Lin Mo look very handsome, especially today's literary test.
Xuan Yuan, King Rong, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, and Emperor Da Gan all made their own plans, but Lin Mo was not very concerned about this. What he is most concerned about now is that he won the third test in Shen Shichu in the afternoon.
Then he brought the Western Region beauties who were drinking to the Queen of Dadang back to Lin's house, so that he could quietly enjoy the sexy and erotic Western Region dance alone.
Chapter completed!
