Zhang Boyu and the others came to the competition venue, and Liu Changqing and the others saw Jiang Yuebai in the center of the crowd at a glance.

Jiang Yuebai was walking towards another couplet on the side at this time, and did not notice these people at all.

Zhang Boyu and the others did not say anything, they did not want to disturb him.

The rustling discussions around him did not affect Jiang Yuebai, he looked at the first couplet of this couplet.

"Pulling sleeves to brush the cold stars, the ancient meaning is vast, looking at the clouds and mountains on the four walls, the green comes from the sword."

This couplet is not to say that it is right, some people want to understand the meaning of the sentence, so there is no second couplet before this couplet.

Jiang Yuebai stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the first couplet and thought for a moment, then picked up the pen.

The second couplet came out.

"Stop playing the piano and stand by the cool moon, my heart is vast, send a pole of spring water, green to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Pa pa pa..."

As soon as this second couplet came out, applause broke out at the scene.

And this applause was first started by Zhang Boyu and others.

Jiang Yuebai looked back and saw an acquaintance.

"President, Dean Liu, you are here too?" Although Jiang Yuebai had never seen Lu Qingshu before, as a member of the Writers Association, he had seen his photo.

"We were also the co-organizer. This is President Zhang of the Couplet Society, and this is..." Liu Changqing introduced the people around Jiang Yuebai one by one.

Jiang Yuebai nodded slightly every time he heard someone.

He didn't react, but that didn't mean that others didn't react.

The contestants around him were almost shocked to see so many big guys gathered here.

They were even more excited. These were all big guys in the Chinese literary world, and any one of them was an extremely powerful figure.

It was an honor for them to see them so close.

"So, you will only show up for the semi-finals, so why are you here now?" Jiang Yuebai asked after listening to Liu Changqing's introduction to the competition.

"Yuebai, you've made such a big noise, it's hard for us not to know, we must come and have a look." Liu Changqing said with a smile, and looked at the others around him.

"Ah?" Jiang Yuebai only then noticed that a large circle of people had surrounded him.

The nearby contestants all gathered around.

"Sorry, it seems to have troubled you, how about we just leave it at that for today."

"No, we old guys just got here, you continue, it's a good opportunity for us to learn."

"Yeah, you don't have to worry about us, just continue."

"Just pretend we don't exist, hehe..."

Several big guys spoke in succession, with humor in their words.

Jiang Yuebai: "..."

It's easy to say, how can you pretend we don't exist.

And being watched by so many old elders, Jiang Yuebai was more or less uncomfortable.

"How many pairs has Yuebai matched?" Zhang Boyu asked the judge next to him.

"47 pairs already." The judge clicked on the tablet to look at the data.

"So many already?"

"Yes."

"Yuebai, you heard it, 47 couplets are all you need. You only need to match three more couplets to advance to the finals." Lu Qingshu said with a smile. He was still a little proud. After all, Jiang Yuebai was a member of his Writers Association.

Jiang Yuebai himself didn't expect that he had matched so many couplets. He had almost reached the state of selflessness when he was doing couplets before. He had already matched 47 couplets without realizing it.

Since it was like this, he would do three more couplets.

He walked to the next couplet. The first couplet: Books are like green mountains, often piled up in disorder.

Jiang Yuebai didn't think about it at all and started writing.

"The lights are like red beans, which are most nostalgic!"

Before Jiang Yuebai finished writing, the judges came forward to record and said that this couplet passed.

Jiang Yuebai walked directly to the next couplet, and Long Zhan and others and Zhang Boyu and his group immediately surrounded him.

After seeing this couplet, there was another burst of exclamation.

On the one hand, they were amazed at the artistic conception of Jiang Yuebai's couplet, and on the other hand, they were surprised at his speed in making couplets.

Before they could be surprised for long, Jiang Yuebai's next couplet had already appeared.

Upper couplet: Painting the lotus monk painting.

Lower couplet: Calligraphy of Han Dynasty calligraphy.

As soon as this couplet came out, everyone present opened their mouths wide.

This couplet is not simple, it is a palindrome couplet.

A palindrome couplet means that the pronunciation is the same when read forward and backward, and the sentences are smooth and the meaning is similar.

Without excessive lingering, Jiang Yuebai walked to the 50th couplet.

This one is a bit interesting. The upper couplet has only four words: two, three, four, five.

It is a very simple upper couplet, so many people have given answers, but these are not neat, let alone perfect.

Some people even hooked eighty, nine, and ten, and took out all the poker cards.

Jiang Yuebai looked at the many couplets on the table and smiled lightly, spread a piece of rice paper, and wrote four words.

"Six, seven, eight, nine."

ThisJiang Yuebai pressed the bell, and the judges came over quickly.

Just seeing this couplet, he frowned slightly.

Although some people also came up with a string of numbers like Jiang Yuebai, they couldn't explain why.

For example, there was another person who came up with seven, eight, nine, and ten.

He just thought that two, three, four, five and seven, eight, nine, and ten were very suitable.

At first, the judges thought that Jiang Yuebai was going to come up with a perfect match for the ages, which would open everyone's eyes.

But they didn't expect his couplet to be so simple.

"Yuebai, what do you think of this couplet?" Zhang Boyu asked.

This couplet was written by him. He just wrote it casually at the beginning. On the one hand, he wanted to see if anyone could come up with some interesting couplets, and on the other hand, it was to give the contestants some water.

He felt that Jiang Yuebai's couplet must have a deep meaning.

Those who can come up with the previous 49 couplets will not fall on this one.

"President Zhang," Jiang Yuebai addressed him respectfully, then explained, "The first couplet has two, three, four, and five, but one is missing."

"My second couplet has six, seven, eight, and nine, but ten is missing, which means lack of clothing (one) and lack of food (ten)."

"Pa pa pa..."

As soon as Jiang Yuebai finished speaking, applause broke out at the scene.

This explanation impressed everyone.

When viewed separately, they are just two number sequences, but when they are put together, the missing "one" and "ten" cleverly imply the dilemma of "lack of clothing and food".

This couplet can be said to fully reflect the fun and wisdom of Chinese characters.

"Congratulations, you have passed the preliminary round and qualified for the finals. You are also the only person who has matched fifty couplets in so many couplet competitions." The judges next to him came forward to congratulate Jiang Yuebai.

"Thank you."

"You are the first person now." Liu Changqing spoke with a hint of admiration.

Not to mention him, even the other people present would probably not be able to do it in such a short time.

"Lucky, lucky."

"If you say that, I guess many people will be angry to death."

"Hahaha..."

"There are too many people here, why don't we go to the front to talk?" Lu Qingshu suggested.

"Okay, listen to the president."

Jiang Yuebai led Long Zhan and others to follow Zhang Boyu, Lu Qingshu and others, and the onlookers could only look at them with envy and admiration.
