My villain, Ximen Qing, married Pan Jinlian at the beginning

"Since everyone is so excited, then I will take the lead in publishing the first couplet. Not only Xu Zheng, you can take my second couplet."

"Other talents can also take my second line and see who can beat the crowd in the end!"

At this moment, Zhao Runan looked confident.

Contrast with Xu Zheng who is overpowering in front of him, if he can overwhelm everyone present.

Then this reputation must be much louder than Xu Zheng alone.

And he was able to show off in front of this oiran Li Shishi.

For Zhao Runan, who is extremely confident, it seems that he has the chance to win.

"Xu Zheng, do you dare to agree to my request?"

After saying this, Zhao Runan also cast a provocative look at Xu Zheng.

"Since everyone is here and everyone is so interested, it is naturally best to have fun together."

Zhao Runan was planning to overwhelm the heroes. Xu Zheng is also a smart person at the moment, so he naturally has this idea.

Scholars care most about reputation, and some people are even willing to kill themselves to prove their innocence for the sake of fame and face.

So for such an opportunity to become famous, Xu Zheng also wanted to grasp it.

As for Xu Zheng's agreement, Zhao Runan had already expected it.

So at this moment, the corners of Zhao Runan's mouth curled up slightly, showing a look of success.

At the same time, Li Shishi also showed a look of interest in his eyes.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll be the first to come up with the first couplet, and see if anyone of you can answer the second couplet."

"The first couplet is a journey of chickens and dogs crossing the frost bridge, plum blossoms and bamboo leaves. Who can match the second couplet?"

Under the attention of everyone, Zhao Runan directly wrote this series of couplets on the red paper provided by the restaurant.

After Zhao Runan came out of the Shanglian, many talented scholars looked at this Shanglian and fell into deep thought.

But in just three seconds, Xu Zheng stood up at this moment.

"I come!"

Then Xu Zheng walked up with his head held high, picked up the brush and moved towards the side where the couplet had come out, and started to write quickly.

"The second line is Yan Yan wearing a show curtain and a half-window jade sword with golden branches!"

Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was also watching the match of pairs.

Seeing the couplet written by Zhao Runan and Xu Zheng, Song Huizong Zhao Ji also showed admiration.

"It's neat to be right, and the calligraphy of these two people is also good. They are worthy of being the talents of my Song Dynasty."

Both upper and lower lines are written in different ways.

But it can also be seen that Xu Zheng and Zhao Runan still have good attainments in calligraphy.

"That's a good pair. As expected of the poet Xu Zheng, the pair is neat and the artistic conception is not bad at all!"

"Indeed, this pair is extremely capable, and both of them are very talented talents!"

"Well, although I also came up with the second couplet, it was a step too late, and in terms of artistic conception, it is still three points weaker than Xu Zheng."

"Not bad, I haven't come up with a suitable second couplet until now, and this Zhao Runan's first couplet is also of a very high standard!"

"However, Zhao Runan's Shanglian has been published. Logically speaking, it's time for Xu Zheng to publish an Shanglian."

……

Just when everyone was very appreciative of Xu Zheng's second couplet, which was very neat.

Zhao Runan didn't care that Xu Zheng came out with his own pair.

Because Zhao Runan's Shanglian this time was just to test Xu Zheng's level.

"Xu Zheng, you are a bit of a level, and I deserve a little bit of praise from you. Now it's your turn to come up with a couplet!"

At this moment, Zhao Runan still had a confident smile on his face, looking at Xu Zheng in front of him.

"Hmph, I don't need you to judge my level, let's talk about it if I can match my pair!"

"Now it's time for me to come up with an upper couplet. My upper couplet is Wind Blowing Bee Bee Flicking Wind Breathing Bee Flying!"

After saying these words, Xu Zheng picked up his pen and began to write the Shanglian.

Everyone looked at Xu Zheng's Shanglian, and many talented people showed embarrassment on their faces.

"This Shanglian is so difficult, it's too tricky!"

"That's right, it's not an easy task to go against the lower couplet in this first couplet."

"It seems that Xu Zheng has made a ruthless move. If Zhao Runan is not right, then it means that Zhao Runan has lost this time."

"I think Zhao Runan can confront him. After all, he has the confidence to provoke Xu Zheng. Doesn't he have the ability?"

"It's hard to say. After all, Xu Zheng is also very talented. The name of one of the two southern poets is not a joke."

……

After seeing Xu Zheng's Shanglian, many talented scholars simply gave up thinking about the Xialian.

Only a small number of about ten people were looking at the Shanglian and thinking hard.

And Zhao Runan looked at Shanglian at the moment, and there was no teasing expression in his eyes.

Zhao Runan, who got serious, also fell into thinking.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Zheng on the side also smiled.

Then Xu Zheng turned his head to look upstairs, seeing Li Shishi upstairs, he was also thinking.

At this moment, Xu Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

At least from Xu Zheng's point of view, Xu Zheng has already gained the limelight.

But just when Xu Zheng was dreaming.

Suddenly a voice interrupted Xu Zheng's fugue.

"Have it!"

This voice came from Zhao Runan.

I saw Zhao Runan smiling again, took the brush directly and confidently, and started writing next to the above couplet.

"My second line is 'Li Da Li Li Sinks to the Bottom Li Shen Li Fu'!"

"Xu Zheng, do you think I'm right?"

After finishing writing, Zhao Runan pointed the pen in his hand, and looked at Xu Zheng, who looked a little ugly, with a provocative face.

"You got it right so quickly? This Zhao Runan is really talented!"

"Indeed, before, I thought that the three great talents in Bianjing were just a little bit more famous, but when I saw them today, they are people of great talent."

"According to rumors, among the three great talents in Bianjing, the one with the highest talent is also Zhao Runan in front of me."

"Poet ghost Xu Zheng has such a difficult match, and Zhao Runan actually matched it up in just a while. These two are really match for each other!"

"It seems that we are only qualified to watch from the sidelines. With our level, we can't participate in their competition at all!"

"I wanted to participate and impress Mr. Li, the oiran, but now I find that I don't have such strength at all!"

……

At this moment, after Zhao Runan made a pair, many people once again lamented the talents of Zhao Runan and Xu Zheng.

But Ximen Qing on the side was different from the others.

The others praised repeatedly, but Ximen Qing shook his head in disappointment.

"Although it took such a short time, it can be regarded as a bit of strength if we match up."

"But it's not very good, it's a little bit unsatisfactory."

Although the words Ximen Qing muttered to himself were not loud, they happened to be fully heard by a man beside him who highly praised Zhao Runan.

"You said that Zhao Runan's right is not satisfactory? Who are you? You are really arrogant!"
