Liaozhai Great Sage

Several thoughts popped up in Li Xiuyuan's mind at once.

Zhu Erdan has suffered from typhoid fever for the past few days, has his brain burned out?

Or is it that the person in front of him is just Zhu Erdan's body, but there is actually another person inside?

Or that he was so impressed by his talent and appearance that day that he fell in love with him already?

Apart from these three possibilities, Li Xiuyuan couldn't think of any other possibilities that could make Zhu Erdan invite him so enthusiastically.

"This guy is absolutely abnormal...may be a pervert."

Li Xiuyuan secretly became alert in his heart.

At this moment, Zhu Erdan pulled Li Xiuyuan to, no, into the gazebo, then pointed to a white letter on the stone table and said: "Brother Li, look, this is my second couplet, I don't know if Brother Li thinks my second couplet is already Is it correct for your lower line?"

With a stroke of luck, Li Xiuyuan shook Zhu Erdan's palm away with a slight movement of his arm, and then said: "The couplet last time was just what I said casually, and I didn't do it, it was made by a talented woman, and I was just It’s just borrowed, I just wanted to perfunctory you, but I didn’t expect you to take it seriously, it seems to be my fault.”

The first couplet he wrote: Lonely, cold, empty, widowed.

You can tell at a glance that it was written by a woman, and it is impossible for a man to write it.

Li Xiuyuan is also a scholar, although he is not as talented as the ancient ones, but he also knows that Wen Chaogong can't take him on himself this time.

"So that's the case. No wonder this couplet is full of resentment. It turned out to be written by a talented woman. I thought it was you, Brother Li." Zhu Erdan laughed.

The other scholars next to me couldn't help laughing too.

This is secretly mocking Li Xiuyuan as a resentful woman in the boudoir.

After all, you are a scholar, and you don't use dirty words when you curse. It's not like ordinary people who open their mouths to greet your father and mother.

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly, and he looked at Zhu Erdan with a strange expression, this fellow was really different, although he just seized the flaws to insinuate himself in a short sentence, it could be seen that his intelligence was far different from before.

"Although there are boudoir grievances, the talent is something that even I admire. Let me have a look at your second couplet."

He was not angry, but glanced at the stone table with a calm expression.

However, the second line is: the river and the sea are raging with waves.

"That's right." Li Xiuyuan fixed his eyes, and immediately knew that Zhu Erdan had definitely cracked it.

This thing is not so easy to match. Among this group of talents, he dared to say that there are not a few talents in a hundred who can match, and it is Zhu Erdan who was originally mediocre.

"Brother Li, how about this couplet?" Zhu Erdan said with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "It's true."

"Is that so?" Zhu Erdan asked.

"Oh, what else? Could it be that you wait until I praise you?" Li Xiuyuan wondered.

"Haha."

Suddenly, the scholar next to him couldn't help laughing.

This Li Xiuyuan is fighting back, insinuating that Zhu Erdan is a naughty boy, waiting for his father's praise, which is much more ruthless than Zhu Erdan calling Li Xiuyuan a grudge in the boudoir before.

"A master's trick."

Zhu Yu put his hands into his sleeves, and muttered to himself with a melancholy frown.

Zhu Erdan's face darkened slightly, he thought of what Lu Shenxian said.

The most intelligent heart in the world is the exquisite heart with seven apertures in Li Xiuyuan.

He didn't understand that day before he changed his mind, but now he understands that this Li Xiuyuan is indeed extraordinary. He worked.

Afterwards, Zhu Erdan's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Brother Li, you said that this pair was made by a talented woman, so Brother Li must have already had a second couplet. I don't know what the second couplet is. Can you let me have a look?" Vision? Take a look at Brother Li's second couplet."

Since the verbal confrontation is a bit inferior, he won't play with it anymore, so he just wants to see Li Xiuyuan's true ability.

"Well, I do have a couplet. Since you have spoken, I can't postpone it."

Li Xiuyuan didn't hesitate for a second, and decisively picked up the brush and ink, and began to write.

This is the trouble of Wenhui.

As long as Zhu Erdan said a word, Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to evade the second couplet, otherwise he, Li Xiuyuan, would be reduced to a laughing stock in this essay meeting.

He was still thinking about taking the exams, Jinshi. Although reputation is not very important, it should not leave a stigma.

"Lingding Buddha is tired of being a monk." Li Xiuyuan put away his pen and raised his hand, leaving a second couplet.

"Yes." Wang Ping said happily.

The other scholars next to him also took a look, and nodded involuntarily. This Li Xiuyuan is indeed an extraordinary character, and such a difficult match came out.

But Ning Caichen said: "This couplet is well written. Look at the meaning of this couplet. Brother Li doesn't want to compete with Zhu Erdan for fame and fortune."

"Is there still such a meaning?" Zhu Yu wondered.

He was still thinking about the master's tricks in his mind.

Zhu Erdan glanced at it and said with a smile: "That's right, this second couplet is pretty neat, but Brother Li has had this upper couplet for so long, shouldn't there be only one second couplet?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head with a smile, but wrote again with a brush: "Retreat from getting lost and return to Xiaoyao."

After finishing writing, I went on to write: The sea of ​​tears in the desert is gradually rising.

"Are you satisfied with these couplets?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

At the same time, I was secretly glad that I had studied some absolutes before and knew the answer. In this life, relying on my good memory, I didn't leave the old things behind.

But this is only absolute, and he is not very proficient in ordinary pairs.

"Okay, that's right."

Seeing that three couplets were written in one breath, some scholars immediately cheered.

Good is good, even if you don't know it, it doesn't hinder your appreciation.

The corner of Zhu Erdan's mouth twitched at this moment. He felt that he had underestimated this Li Xiuyuan's ability. Even he needed to think about such a couplet for a while. He couldn't do it by writing three couplets in one breath. He originally wanted to get back the humiliation of the day. Looking at it now, relying on talents to compete against each other, I'm afraid it will only be counterproductive.

"Brother Li's talent is so high that I really admire you."

Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he was still calm and saluted with a smile on his face.

"You're being polite, but it's just a matter of thinking about it before. It's considered prepared, and it doesn't deserve your praise." Li Xiuyuan also said modestly.
