"This little lady looks so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

"It's so beautiful, the four beauties in Chang'an, I can't think of it like this."

"Hey, isn't this Li Xueyan, the daughter of King Ren Cheng?"

"Li Xueyan? I'll go, really, I've seen her a few times before, but this time she got her hair down, I almost didn't recognize her."

"Really annoying!"

Seeing that she was recognized, Li Xueyan shrank towards Li Jingren.

Wen Qi finally regained her composure, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I assure you that most of the dishes in our restaurant are dishes that you have never tried before. If you can't, you can go in and eat. If not, my restaurant business will definitely be good in the future." Poor. We are still at a loss.”

"Don't be fooled, it's almost time?"

"Yes, hurry up and look at the couplets. What's delicious about the rice. We're here to see the couplets."

After a long time, no one went in, and Wen Qi could speak again, but she didn't encounter such a situation.

I was in a hurry for a while.

"If you don't believe me, you can go in and try."

"Try what?"

Zhou Jinyan squeezed in from behind the crowd, and said loudly: "I'll go in and see, what kind of money do these poor scholars have? If they have this spare money, who would have time to talk to you here?"

Wen Qi blushed and made a please gesture.

Zhou Jinyan smiled slightly, turned around and said, "I never thought I'd see you here, why don't I treat you, let's go in and have a meal?"

"Consort Zhou?"

Li Xueyan's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Jinyan greeted Li Jingren, and replied: "I live in Quchifang now, it's so lively here, how can I not be here?"

Li Xueyan covered her lips and smiled lightly, but she refused: "If we come here after eating, we won't eat. We have to look at the couplets later."

Li Jingren also nodded, "It's strange to say that no one is right. These days, everyone's curiosity has been drawn out, but I don't know how good it is."

"The money in our restaurant didn't come from floods," Wen Qi wanted to save face in front of the son-in-law, and argued angrily, "If the couplets were made out randomly, wouldn't they be giving you money?"

"It makes sense."

Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "I believe there is a strange right, it's not that I underestimate these people, I guess they still can't do anything wrong after we have dinner."

"Let's go, eat first, and then come out to watch."

Zhou Jinyan invited again.

Li Jingren thought for a while, finally agreed, and walked in with Li Xueyan who was somewhat unwilling.

Seeing someone go in, soon some rich young masters and ladies also followed to eat.

Whether it is delicious or not, let alone whether you have eaten it or not, the loud signboard alone is already very attractive.

Not long after, dozens of people had already entered.

Wen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, she calmed down, her expression was serious, and she raised her voice, "I will serve you with pen and ink!"

Everyone in the audience was taken aback, they didn't expect a little girl to have such an aura.

Inside the shop, a little maid walked out, carrying a wooden tray with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it.

In the crowd watching, Wen Qi picked up the brush, stepped on the short pier, and waved it on the red paper pasted in front of her.

When everyone looked around, they saw two pieces of red paper on both sides of the inner door of the restaurant. Wen Qi wrote on the left side.

Seeing that Wen Qi's writing is not sloppy at all, and her pen is clean and neat, although she is a woman, she has a strong pen and sophisticated handwriting, and she can't help but applaud.

"I didn't expect there to be a talented woman in this small restaurant."

"I thought it was a little girl helping out in the restaurant."

"It's probably a restaurant run by a wealthy family."

Everyone guessed and couldn't agree on what to do.

Wen Qi finally wrote the couplet, got down from the short pier, and said to the crowd: "The little girl is not talented, so I will show my ugliness first and contribute a couplet. This couplet is not counted, but it is also a lottery."

"You are the one who published this couplet?"

Wen Qi smiled and nodded, "My master's couplet is over there, I won't write it for now."

"Everyone, put this pair of couplets together first. If you can match them, you can eat and drink for free today. There is no limit to the number of people."

"Wen Qi shows her shame, let's see everyone's abilities, so you have the opportunity to see if the little girl is telling a lie!"

"Look at the dishes in my Datang Zhuangyuan Building, whether they are delicious or not!"

Wen Qi's words were sonorous and forceful, obviously trying to save face just now.

At the same time, she also secretly pointed out that she didn't lie just now, and that the Zhuangyuan Building did have good wine and food that no one had tasted.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then there was an uproar!

Provocation, a little girl, dare to provoke the world's talents!

Chapter 338 Chapter 336

After all, Wen Qi stepped aside, revealing the couplet behind her.

Everyone hurriedly looked, and someone read: "Is this place safe to live forever?"

This is a couplet?

Seeing everyone's doubts, Wen Qi said with a smile: "Everyone, please be right."

"Such a simple pair, dare to take it out to shame!"

Some people shook their heads with disdain.

"That's right, I thought it was too difficult, but I ended up with such a broken pair."

"Let let, let let."

There are smart people who don't want to pretend to be coercive with everyone, and those who just want to go in and eat stand out from the crowd and say loudly: "I'm right!"

Wen Qi said, "Yes, please!"

The man immediately replied: "Who can hardly be at ease!"

"it is good!"

Everyone applauded and applauded the man's quick wit.

"Didn't you say there is no limit to the number of people? Then I will also come to match a pair."

Soon someone stood up again, after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Floating life is rare."

"Brother Ke, that's amazing."

After a burst of applause, everyone gave their answers one after another, and there was a lot of noise in front of the building.

"I said, little lady, you see we have said so many pairs, why don't you invite us in for dinner?"

"That's right, the pair you played is too easy, and the one we matched up just now should be less than 50 people."

"Haha, it's going to be a big loss this time. It's a strange day, and I don't think so."

Everyone present spoke sharply and were not polite at all.

Don't say that's weird, just say that a little girl dares to come out and laugh at everyone. How can they, a group of self-proclaimed talents, bear it?

Wen Qi ignored everyone and said, "Is there anything else I can do?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after waiting for a while, Wen Qi said: "As expected, your talents and learning are only so good, and no one can match them."

"What do you mean?"

The audience was in an uproar, and everyone was furious, accusing Wen Qi one after another.

Wen Qi shook her head and said, "I said you are too superficial, and you can't even match my pair. It's as simple as that."

Then he turned around and said: "My upper couplet is this place is safe and can live forever! You can also interpret it as: this place can live forever? But if the second couplet is to be correct, it must have both meanings. Tell me, are you right? ?”

quiet!

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's eyes widened, with expressions of seeing a ghost.

It turned out that what Wen Qi wrote was a couplet with two layers of meaning. They were excited just now, but none of them could see it.

In this way, what Wen Qi said was quite right, and she was indeed qualified to laugh at them.

At this time on the third floor, Sheng Lian'er and Haizao were standing by the window.

Seeing that Wen Qi shocked everyone, Haizao couldn't help clapping and said, "Okay, Wen Qi is doing well."

"That's Mr. Lang's right pair. A simple pair can make these talented people dumbfounded." Sheng Lian'er smiled lightly.

"That's right."

Haizao giggled coquettishly, "But this Wen Qi is really amazing, not only can she write well, but she can also speak eloquently. I was fooled by the rumors just now, but now I regained the scene in a blink of an eye. The princess chose the right person. "

Sheng Lian'er smiled, her eyes lit up, she pointed outside and said: "Look, the princess and Princess Gaoyang are here."

Haizao looked quickly, and it was not far away, under the protection of a group of guards, Li Mengjiang and Gao Yang came hand in hand.

"Why so quiet?"

As soon as the two arrived, they were startled by the situation in front of them.

Seeing that there were two beauties coming hand in hand, everyone stepped aside, knowing that their status is not easy.

When someone with good deeds heard the words, he said what was going on in front of him.

After listening, Li Mengjiang covered his lips and smiled, thinking that your husband is really powerful, so these talented people can't even see that strange pair, wouldn't their confidence be greatly hit?

Gao Yang was also kept in the dark, not knowing that this restaurant was opened by Li Mengjiang and Zhou Jinyan.

Hearing this couplet, the mentality of not admitting defeat was also inspired.

It's a pity that her talent is not as good as that of Li Mengjiang, so how can she be right.

"It's really quite capable." Gao Yang curled his lips, "But is that all? Although I can't be right, I can also see that this pair is very simple, and someone will always be right."

Li Mengjiang chuckled lightly: "It's more than that, it's just the pair played by this little girl. If that strange pair appears, it will be even more difficult."

Gao Yang just heard the man talking about the inner and outer meanings of the pair, but he didn't expect it to be from the little girl in front of him, his eyes widened for a moment, his face was full of surprise.

When Wen Qi saw the two princesses coming, she resisted the urge to salute, and faced them with a smile.

"Is no one right?"

Gao Yang saw the crowds of people around him, and asked aloud.

She is only average in learning, so naturally she can't be wrong.

But those present are the students of the Great Tang Jinjing Scientific Examination, so they are all talented and learned, how can they be stumped by a pair?

The recognized couplet in history appeared during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and was mentioned on the door panel of the bedroom by Emperor Meng Chang of Later Shu: Na Yuqing for the new year, and Changchun for the festival.

Since then, it has become popular to post Spring Festival couplets for the New Year.

But before that, in fact, pairs were already popular, but not too popular, and no one would post Spring Festival couplets on the door.

The couplets at this time are far from being as popular as the later Song and Ming Dynasties. People or ghosts can come up with a sentence.

Relatively fastidious and not so much.

It was the first time they encountered the couplet that Zhou Jinyan uttered, so it was not a problem to be confused.

"People from Yanyue Poetry Club are here."

Suddenly, I don't know who said it, everyone looked, and sure enough, a group of people walked over together.

There are more than 20 people.

"My God, it's not a bad day to come today." Someone's eyes were shining with gold, and they were staring at the two women in front of them.
