Chapter 25 Clever Couplets
"Second Uncle, didn't you say that Wen Wu is number one? Why did you just admit defeat so easily?" Wang Fengxi expressed dissatisfaction. Lin Xiaoyao just wrote a few more words than himself. As for such a confession?

But Deng Erpao shook his head and smiled wryly: "Fengxi, we really lost this time. Our "Green Forest Journey" just now can only be regarded as the middle and lower grades, while Mr. Lin's poem is the best!" It is better than the poems of everyone in the world, and it is a bit demeaning to say that the poems are superior."

"What?" Wang Fengxi was also shocked when he heard the words. Deng Erpao would never lie to himself. Since even Deng Erpao said so, it shows that Lin Xiaoyao's literary attainments are really so high and unfathomable.

Deng Erpao clasped his hands in his fists and became extremely respectful towards Lin Xiaoyao. In this era, all martial arts matters were inferior, and only literature matters were superior. Therefore, even though Deng Erpao was a member of the green forest, for Talented scholars with great knowledge are still respected.

"May I ask Mr. Lin, what is the name of this poem?" Deng Erpao asked with a slight bow.

When Lin Xiaoyao heard the words, he didn't hold everyone's appetite, so he said directly: "This poem is called "Xia Ke Xing"."

""Xia Ke Xing"? It is really worthy of this poem. Kill a person in ten steps, leave no name for a thousand miles, and leave without asking for merit or fame! Only I, a green forest knight, can do it." Deng Erpao repeatedly Nodding, amazed.

Lin Xiaoyao also nodded noncommittally. Li Bai's poems are bold and unrestrained, and coupled with Li Bai's romantic personality, it would be wrong if his words could not be passed down through the ages.

"Little brother Xiaoyao is really good at both literature and martial arts. Today, I can see the great talent of Brother Lin and see such excellent poems appearing in front of my eyes. This life is enough!" Uncle Kang also smiled and said boldly.

"Uncle Kang is absurdly praised. The boy is just a little clever. He is not worthy of Uncle Kang's praise." Lin Xiaoyao hurriedly got up and clasped his fists and said, he may not care about the people in Hutou Village, but Huamu Village is his old man, and Uncle Kang is his own. Half of my old father-in-law, I have to give face.

Uncle Kang laughed twice and said nothing more, but the expression he looked at Lin Xiaoyao became more and more kind and satisfied.

"Master Xiao, Mr. Lin's "Xia Ke Xing" is a famous poem that can be passed down through the ages. We know that Fengxi's poems are less than one ten-thousandth, so we are not ashamed to ask everyone to judge. This part, we Admit defeat." Deng Erpao knew that he couldn't compare, so he no longer had the cheek to insist on a competition, but he can be regarded as a very sensible person.

"Second Uncle, it's so easy to admit defeat, so what should we do next?" Although Wang Fengxi didn't understand poetry, he could tell from the expressions on everyone's faces that he had no chance of winning, so he stopped thinking about it. Instead, I was worried about the couplet battle.

"I made a mistake in judging Lin Xiaoyao, but even if he has the talent to learn to write poems, he may not be good at couplets. You just need to remember the couplets I gave you. If you really lose, then it is God's fault." Let's win."

Deng Erpao shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

Xiao Waner felt relieved when she saw Deng Erpao admitting defeat. Although she knew that Lin Xiaoyao's "Xia Ke Xing" completely defeated Wang Fengxi, she was afraid that everyone did not understand poetry, and she was even more afraid that Hutou Village would use his power to suppress people. Fortunately, although Deng Erpao was hateful, , but he also has the arrogance of a scholar and disdains to make trouble in this kind of thing.

"In this case, Lin Xiaoyao won the first part of the Wendou." Xiao Wan'er looked at Lin Xiaoyao, revealed a faint smile, and said softly.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyao slightly raised his chin, and blinked his eyes, which means he didn't embarrass you!

Seeing Lin Xiaoyao's funny look, Xiao Wan'er was both ashamed and happy, but everyone was here, so they couldn't do anything, they could only give Lin Xiaoyao a big roll of their eyes.

"This girl, I've done so well, and I don't even want to encourage her." Lin Xiaoyao was dissatisfied, but seeing Xiao Waner so cute, she couldn't really get angry.

"The first part of the poetry competition is over, let's start the next part of the couplet battle." Xiao Wan'er sat back on the main seat and said softly.

Deng Erpao nodded and said: "This battle of couplets is different from poetry competitions. Someone must be able to write the first couplet, and someone else must be able to match the second couplet, so that we can see who is superior. This time, we will give Lin the right to choose." Young master, I don’t know if Mr. Lin chose to make the first couplet or choose the second couplet?”

Lin Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "I don't know how to make couplets. It's better for Shaozhai Lord to make the upper couplets. I'll do the second couplets."

When Deng Erpao heard this, a gleam of success flashed in his eyes, he nodded slightly, and signaled the start of the competition.

"Since Brother Lin doesn't want to publish this couplet, then I will do it for you." Wang Fengxi walked to the center of the meeting hall, holding a folding fan in his hand that he did not know when he found, he opened the folding fan, and slapped it coquettishly. There is also a sense of literati.

"Brother Wang, please come out of the Shanglian." Lin Xiaoyao said with a smile, still indifferent.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyao didn't care so much, Wang Fengxi wasn't angry either. He fanned the folding fan in his hand, walked a few steps in the meeting hall, and suddenly said, "Yes, brother Lin, please listen carefully. The first couplet is: south, north, north, civil, civil, military, and military, fighting and fighting, always killing, hacking, searching, searching, and looking for cleanliness."

Damn, it's still a couplet!

Lin Xiaoyao couldn't help but look at Wang Fengxi differently. No matter whether this couplet was written by Wang Fengxi or not, it is an extremely difficult couplet.

When everyone heard Wang Fengxi's first couplet, they all frowned, not knowing what to do.This couplet is indeed very difficult. The north and the south are opposite, and the civil and military are also relative. The double word couplet is used to echo the front and back. What's more, it is the actions of corrupt officials in the court, which is consistent with the facts. It is really extremely difficult to correct.

Xiao Waner and Xiaoxiang are also worried about Lin Xiaoyao. Lin Xiaoyao is indeed the best in the world in poetry, but no one is perfect, and those who are good at poetry may not be good at poetry.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Lin Xiaoyao, and everyone wanted to see if Lin Xiaoyao was so against the sky, even so good at pairing.

I saw Lin Xiaoyao still had a look of indifference. He was playing with the teacup in his hand, staring at the tea in the cup without blinking, obviously thinking about how to deal with it.

"Miss, can you come out right?" Xiao Xiang asked with some concern, although she had blind admiration for Lin Xiaoyao, she couldn't help being nervous at this time.

Xiao Wan'er patted Xiaoxiang's hand, signaling her to relax, but she didn't realize that her palms were already soaked in sweat...

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he showed a confident smile. He put the teacup on the table, and then said, "Brother Wang, I have come out with this couplet."

"Oh? I don't know why brother Lin is right about the second couplet?" Wang Fengxi was complacent there, but he didn't expect Lin Xiaoyao to get it right so soon. You know, Deng Erpao told him that even he himself couldn't be right. Get this link.

"This couplet is: South, North, North, Civil, Civil, Military, Fighting, Fighting, Fighting, Killing, Slashing, Searching, Scraping, Seeing It's Clean." Lin Xiaoyao read the first couplet again, and then continued: " And my second line is: every family, women and men, lonely and widowed, panic and panic everywhere, crying and crying, really miserable."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then burst into admiration. That's so right, so right!

They are also double-character couplets, and they are still the result of Wang Fengxi's Shanglian, continuing to explain the miserable lives caused by corrupt officials in the imperial court to the common people, it is absolutely true!

"This person, is there really nothing he can't do?" Xiao Wan'er looked at Lin Xiaoyao, who was unrestrained and at ease, and at the same time she was happy in her heart, but at the same time she was even more puzzled. She didn't know what kind of existence the person she liked was. , Literary attainments are so high, and martial arts are definitely not low, such a person is simply beyond the description of an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.

More importantly, looking at Lin Xiaoyao's laughing and joking look, and his submissive attitude towards himself, he can't be connected with this man who is versatile in both civil and military affairs. He is really a strange person.

"My lord is so amazing, I like it so much!" At this time, Xiaoxiang's eyes were full of little stars, her pretty face was flushed, and she looked at Lin Xiaoyao with a look of admiration.Lin Xiaoyao didn't know that he had completely captured the heart of a 16-year-old girl just now.

Deng Erpao saw that Lin Xiaoyao made this couplet so easily, and his heart jumped a few times. He already knew that he had failed this trip. Although the couplets in the future will be more difficult, it is not too difficult. Presumably Lin Xiaoyao Can all come out right?
However, he was not prepared to admit defeat so easily. After all, they were all couplets prepared by himself, and most of them were couplets that he could not match. He also wanted to hear the couplets written by Lin Xiaoyao.

Seeing everyone's admiration, Wang Fengxi knew that Lin Xiaoyao was right, but he was not discouraged. Deng Erpao could prepare a lot of Shanghai couplets for himself.

"Brother Lin is really knowledgeable and talented. I have another couplet. Please check it out. My couplet reads: There is a bird on the tree. The tree shakes when the bird flies away. The tree still shakes." Three shakes." Wang Fengxi said shaking his head.

"Sure enough, it's not a good bird, it loves shaking so much!" Lin Xiaoyao said in his heart.

This couplet is not good either. Although the words are straightforward, it is not difficult to understand, but the difficulty is that it is too straightforward and too lifelike. If you compare it with better literary vocabulary, it will not be simple. Therefore, if you want to be convincing, you must also be straightforward and easy to understand.

When everyone heard the words, they also frowned, looking fruitless.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyao couldn't help but sneered. This kind of pairing may be difficult for others, but it couldn't be easier for him. Comparable to him.

"Brother Wang, look at my second couplet." Lin Xiaoyao laughed twice, and then said: "The first couplet is: There is a bird on the tree, the bird shakes the tree, the bird flies away, and the tree shakes three times Shake, and the second line of mine is: When the man goes to pee, the bird shakes the pee, and the bird shakes it three times after peeing is finished!"
