Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 58 Fly in the ointment
As a pair of couplets unfolded, all the thirty young masters in the hall stretched their necks and looked over.

"Swimming in the West Lake, carrying the tin pot, if the tin pot falls into the West Lake, what a pity for the tin pot!"

"Wangjiang tower, Wangjiang flow, Wangjiang tower, Wangjiang flow, Jianglou eternal, river flow through the ages!"

"Yanyan Yan Yan Yan Yanyan!"

"There are insects in the water and it is turbid, and there are fish in the water and there are fishes. The water is full of water, and the rivers and lakes are small!"

"Ms. Qiao is naturally delicate, and she hates rouge and plastic face!"

"The red face is off, the black face is Zhang, and the white face is the dragon, protecting Mr. Liu!"

"Hakka boarding stays in the cold window and empty loneliness!"

"The sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, the sound of reading, the sound is in my ears!"

"Golden thread willows by the Jinshui River, golden thread willows piercing the goldfish's mouth!"

"Draw the lotus monk painting!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw these ten first couplets, and they were speechless.

"This is too difficult. Even if I rack my brains, I can only match two or three of them."

"Every first couplet is not as simple as it seems. For example, painting a lotus and a monk, reciting it upright and reciting it backwards are the same, alas!"

"This first level is so difficult, and we may not be able to figure out what will happen later."

"It seems that only Zhou Yanbang, a great talent, can pass the three tests, and the others don't even think about it."

Everyone was discussing, frowning, scratching their heads, only a few people were thinking about how to match the upper and lower lines.

"My lord, do you have any ideas? It's really difficult to compose ten couplets, and the subordinates can only take a rough look." Li Yuanfang frowned and whispered in Chao Tian's ear.

"These literati are too boring. It's better to give a steel knife to each person. Whoever wins will get in. That would be so much fun."

Niu Gao, the idiot, yelled relentlessly at the side again, attracting the gazes of several Wen Sheng sons nearby, but all of them were stared back by Niu Gao's ferocious eyes.

"Couple Xiaodao'er, ten pairs of couplets can be captured together." Chao Tian smiled and said with confidence.

"Some people just like to brag. They have the ability to match up ten couplets. They are empty-mouthed. I said I can match them too."

Chao Tian's words were heard by a scholar next to him, and he immediately said sarcastically with a strange air of yin and yang.

"You black man, who are you talking about?"

Niu Gao immediately opened his eyes and shouted angrily.

Chao Tian stopped Niu Gao who had already rolled up his sleeves, smiled slightly and did not speak.

At this moment, a scholar sitting in the first row stood up confidently, picked out five relatively simple upper couplets and made the lower couplets. Chao Tian listened and nodded slightly, which was still neat.

The first one passed, and it was a victory, making the faces of the other people in the hall look relaxed.

Immediately, five or six more young masters stood up, two of them passed, and the others were unsatisfactory and were unfortunately eliminated.

"This girl, I'm ready!"

At this moment, a young man in a green shirt stood out from the first row. He was gentle, scholarly, and piercing. He stood out from the crowd with a feeling of being outstanding.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou, the most talented man in Bianliang, Tokyo, Zhou Bangyan."

"I don't know how many couplets Mr. Zhou can match up with. There are so many people in front of us, but the most is six couplets."

"It goes without saying that the number one talented person in the capital is not a vain name. I think it's possible for ten pairs to come out right."

"Being able to see Mr. Zhou's pairing on the spot is not a waste of time."

When Mr. Wen Sheng saw Mr. Qingshan standing up, there was an uproar and discussions.

This young man in green shirt is exactly Zhou Bangyan, who is known as the number one talented scholar in Bianliang, Tokyo, with outstanding talents and outstanding literary talents.

Hearing Zhou Bangyan's name, Chao Tian, ​​who was sitting in the corner, raised his brows, and finally saw a talented man with a long history.

Zhou Bangyan, courtesy name Meicheng, nicknamed Halal Layman, is a representative of the Wanyue School in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the old Ci theory, he was called "the crown of poets" or "Old Du in Ci", and he was recognized as a poet with "a negative generation name". It had a great influence in the Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Bangyan also came here.

"I don't know which couplets Mr. Zhou chose?" The servant girl obviously knew Zhou Bangyan and asked with a smile.

"Let's start from the beginning." Zhou Bangyan said confidently and confidently.

Everyone heard that Zhou Bangyan wanted to complete the ten couplets, and it caused an uproar around them, and they all praised him.

Immediately, Zhou Bangyan began to answer the pair, and the answers were fluent, which attracted everyone to applaud.

But there is a fly in the ointment. Even Zhou Bangyan, a well-known talented man in Bianliang, Tokyo, failed in the eighth couplet, and finally had to match seven couplets.

Although the grades were already the best, everyone still felt that there was a fly in the ointment.

At this moment, Chao Tian, ​​who had been sitting in the corner without opening his mouth, stood up, cupped his hands at the maid on the stage, and said politely, "Young lady, I'm ready too!"

"I don't know which couplets the young master wants to match?" The servant girl asked politely.

"It's the same for me, just start from the beginning." Chao Tian said calmly with a slight smile.

wow…

When everyone in the hall heard Chao Tian's words, they couldn't help being in an uproar. They didn't expect there to be such a brazen person.

"It's a shameless statement, it must be made up of random nonsense."

"Some people don't care about the consequences just for the limelight."

"Does he think he is a talented man like Mr. Zhou?"

"Let's listen to his masterpiece in a while and see how the donkey's lip is not right, hahaha!"

"Hahaha…"

There was a lot of discussion and ridicule, which caused a burst of laughter.

Chao Tian, ​​on the other hand, looked indifferent, and didn't take the cynicism from the people around him to heart.

After a while, I will pair up ten couplets and see if you can still laugh.

"Young master, are you sure you can answer all the ten couplets?"

The servant girl also didn't believe that Chao Tian was able to match up the couplets that their young lady had painstakingly thought out in such a short period of time.

You must know that even those well-educated and well-educated writers in the imperial court, the masters of the literary world saw the couplets of their young ladies and thought for a long time before they came up with them.

Even Zhou Bangyan, a great talent who is well-known in Bianliang, Tokyo, can only match up to seven couplets.

"What if?"

Chao Tian smiled slightly and gave an ambiguous answer.

Chao Tian's answer once again attracted a burst of cynicism, and the surrounding young masters accused Chao Tian of showing off. Even Zhou Bangyan looked at Chao Tian with a sneer, his eyes full of disdain.

Literati have their own arrogance, Zhou Bangyan is worthy of the name of the most talented person in Bianliang, Tokyo, and now someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere seemed to surpass him, which made Zhou Bangyan feel very uncomfortable.

"Since this is the case, please answer, my lord. The first couplet: Swimming in the West Lake, carrying the tin pot, and dropping the tin pot into the West Lake, what a pity for the tin pot!"

This pair of couplets pays attention to the homophony, the homonym of West Lake and tin pot, the antithesis is neat, and the story is smooth, without any violation
