Kang Qiao's appearance surprised many people, but some students from Tai Academy showed excitement. Because this young master Kang wrote poems and articles, he might not be able to squeeze into the top five Jinling for this autumn exam preparation.

Among the talented men, he is good at matching each other. It is said that he has never distinguished the right one with the previous Tanhua Ye Chen.

Therefore, Kang Qiao's reputation is outstanding in Tai Academy. When everyone saw him appearing, Xiao Ze, who was choosing an envoy, showed interest in his pair, and hoped that he could suppress the other party in this regard.

"There's a good show now."

"Kang Qiao has the nickname of Xiao Wang from Tai Academy, and now the surname Xiao is so miserable."

"Haha, that's right, let's see how Xiao Hanlin, a surnamed from Song, stepped down and how arrogant he is!"

Some young scholars from Tai Academy opened the folding fan and pretended to be chic in the air, looking like "this matter was not as expected" and "confident".

Han Xizai and Tao Yi nodded slightly, acquiesced to this couplet contest between the Northern Song and Southern Tang.

At this time, Kang Qiao and Xiao Ze stood in the center of the field and looked at each other face to face.

"Who will come first?" Xiao Ze asked with a smile.

Kang Qiao said carelessly: "It's a guest who comes from afar, please invite him first."

Xiao Ze also replied: "The guest follows the host's will, and the host will come first."

Kang Qiao packed up his contempt, but unexpectedly, the other party could respond in the couplet pattern in a casual sentence, open the folding fan, pondered: "The place in Jinling can be said to be: good mountains, water, good wind and moon, good for all ages

land!"

"good!"

Many people in Jinling couldn't help but cheer and applaud when they heard this praise.

This is the home advantage, with audience assists and waving flags and shouting.

The first couplet is repeated with five "good" characters, which is a duplicate couplet, which is slightly difficult.

Xiao Ze pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "In my opinion, it is just that: I am crazy, I am crazy, and I am crazy, and I am crazy, and I am crazy!"

After hearing this, the people of Jinling around him looked unhappy because the other party was obviously belittling them in Jiangnan and became a useless fool.

But it is undeniable that the other party's second couplet matched it.

Kang Qiao's face was a little serious. He could see that this person was difficult to deal with. He bowed and said, "Please leave the couplet!"

Xiao Ze nodded slightly, looked at the surrounding environment, and said, "Go down and down the trees and ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

He used the four characters "high, lower, ding, and dong" with overlapping.

Kang Qiao frowned, thought about it carefully for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "There is, there are many mountains and winding circles!"

"Okay!" Everyone cheered. After all, Kang Caizi from Jinling met with a couplet, which weakened their worries a little. If the first couplet is stuck, then there will be no place for the face of the scholars in Jinling to show their faces.

.

Yongning and Zhou Jiamin both laughed, as if they were worried just now.

"This Kang Qiao finally has some talent!" Yongning exclaimed.

Zhou Jiamin smiled and said, "This young master Kang seems to be handsome. If he can pass the Jinshi exam in the autumn, he can enter the court in the future. If Sister Yongning takes a fancy to him, he will not be without a chance to be summoned as the prince consort in the future!"

Princess Yongning was teased by a little girl, her cheeks turned red, and she shook her head and said, "He is not the type he likes."

Zhou Jiamin asked casually: "What kind of talented sister Yongning likes?"

Yongning hesitated for a moment and said four words softly: "Almighty talented man."

Zhou Jiamin's little face suddenly became a little stiff, and she felt a little nervous for no reason.

Xiao Ze smiled and said, "The first round is just a small test. Mr. Kang, we have to increase the difficulty when we enter the second round."

Kang Qiao nodded, looking for the subject of metaphorism. Suddenly, he saw a night bird standing on the treetops, like an eagle. He had an idea and said, "Listen, my first couplet is: Eagle

Standing on the treetops, the moon shines on the slanting shadows, and the eagle does not slant."

This first couplet is considered a quick way to create wisdom. When inspiration comes, it becomes a difficult pair. If the second couplet is to be matched well, in addition to being neat, if it cannot be linked to the scene, it will also have a little bit of a feeling.

Many scholars from Jinling smiled, thinking that Mr. Kang is not a loss to the Tai Academy. This year's couplet pair is of some strength!

"The first couplet is wonderful. I guess this time I will stump Xiao Hanlin in the north."

"Anyway, for a moment, I couldn't think of any second line."

The onlookers whispered in a low voice.

Xiao Ze looked sideways and thought for a while. He seemed to see something in the grass. He also smiled slightly and said, "What's the difficulty? The second couplet I am talking about: The cat is lying on the corner of the wall, the wind blows the hair, but the cat is not moving!"

"This..." Many people were stunned, and they didn't expect that he could really meet so quickly.

Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Gao Yue and others looked at each other and nodded slightly, feeling that the second-tier north is also of real talent and knowledge. Could it be that in addition to preparing for war, the Song Dynasty also attaches importance to culture?

Kang Qiao felt very uncomfortable when he saw the other party's confident smile, as if he was in the other party's hands. He gently shook the folding fan and said, "Prince Xiao, please give a question."

Xiao Ze looked at the maple forest on the hillside in the distance and chuckled: "It's impolite to come or go. My first couplet is similar to what I just said: Planting maples on the peak, the wind blows the maple and the peak does not move!"

After hearing this, everyone was surprised to chew the meaning of the first couplet.

Although the upper couplet is similar in form and structure and the number of words is the same, it is more difficult. In addition to homophonic sounds, peaks and maple have stronger correlation.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Kang Qiao's face changed slightly, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he frowned and thought, but he didn't expect that the right one would be.

This is equivalent to digging a pit himself, and being exploited by others, forming a pit with greater difficulty, and then pushing him down.

The people around were worried about Mr. Kang at this time.

But after a while, Mr. Kang shook his head decadently, and then bowed and said, "I can't match it, so I admit defeat."

Xiao Ze nodded and said, "Then please send me another couplet, I'll do it."

Young Master Kang hesitated for a moment, then said, "The big trees are so thick, the pine, cypress, sycamore and willows!"

In this first couplet, the word "wood" becomes a forest, and then there are six types of plants into the sentence, which also takes some tricks.

But Xiao Ze only took a short time to think of the second couplet: "The water is vast, the rivers, streams, lakes and seas!"

After hearing this, everyone admired this man's genius.

"It's my turn to go out the first couplet." Xiao Ze paused, looked up at the sky and the water surface, and then spoke: "The Big Dipper is fourteen o'clock in the sky under the water!"

Kang Qiao was stunned, his mind was blank and he had no idea.

Not only him, but also the Jinling scholars present were also asked.

"I lost this game." Kang Qiao couldn't match it and took the initiative to admit defeat in the third game.

Xiao Ze teased and smiled, "After three games, I have met your couplet, but you only met my first couplet, I'm afraid there is no need to continue. This way, if this young master Kang can't answer

You can gather your mind to the audience. As long as the young talented people on the sidelines are watching, who can meet the two couplets in front of you, it is considered that your Jinling side will meet you."

"It's too arrogant." Seeing Xiao Ze so arrogant, everyone asked him to treat all the talents in Jinling, and suddenly felt that his face was knocked down all over the ground, and he was extremely angry.

"This young master Kang is not good anymore. Brother Su Chen is still reliable. Why haven't he come yet? I really can't stand it anymore!" Zhou Jiamin became even more anxious.

Yongning also sighed, waiting for a long time.

At this moment, a voice sounded, and he replied lightly: "What's the difficulty? The Big Dipper is fourteen o'clock in the sky under the water; I'll give you this couplet: The lonely geese in the south building, with the moon

The shadows fly together.”

When the talented men and beautiful people around me heard this second couplet at critical moments, they all applauded and praised it.

"Who is this? So talented!"

Then, I saw a young scholar wearing a light blue shirt holding a beautiful girl in his hand, and came side by side. Under the eyes of everyone, the handsome man
