Chapter 27 The couplet competition
The two met the sweet rain after a long drought, and the thunder caused a fire, which was out of control. It was not until the early morning that Su Yong hurried back to his room to sleep. Fortunately, those family keepers had keenly felt that there seemed to be some stories between the owner and Tuo Fuhua the day before, so even two night patrols saw the sneaky appearance of him slipping out, but they just pretended that they couldn't see it.
However, in the morning, the good tradition of getting up on time developed by Su Yong's previous life still played a role. Thinking of the couplet competition that was about to be hosted, he still got up in high spirits. After washing up, he walked out of the door and was about to call a team to start, and saw that Tuobuhua was already waiting at the door.
Her spirit is much better than her own, and it takes half an hour to dress up. The standard Yanlong skirt and train dress has been meticulously arranged. Su Yong couldn't help sighing in his heart that there was no ploughed field, only tired cattle.
"Are you going too?" Su Yong pretended to be cold. The two generals who came out of the team happened to see his good thing in the early morning, and they couldn't help laughing secretly.
"Of course, such a good thing needs to be seen." It's cooperation, and it's also a state of not shaking his eyes.
He came to the Mingyue Building and called him brother to the judges. After drinking a few cups of tea, Su Yong finally recovered a little.
At this time, there was a gong and the competition began. The host announced that the talents came to power.
There are still some four talents like the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River who came up with their arms hanging and lame feet, which made Su Yong laugh for a while.
Among the ten winners, one was also from Jiangnan. Seeing this appearance, he hurried up to ask why, but the four of them just said nothing. Every time they saw the female tiger behind the judges, they showed a sense of panic.
Because this competition is the second round, although there are only ten winners left, the audience is even more crowded. If you look carefully, you will find that the talents who were eliminated two days ago are also among them, and they are doing their best for the winners in their region.
Seeing the appearance of the four talents, many talents who learned a little news from the Ministry of Criminal Justice secretly thought that it was Mr. Yun in the capital who had made a secret plan, and they were indignant. When the prince in white came to the stage, there was an uproar from the stage.
The four talents are like this, and Yun Xiaomeng was scolded on the stage. Although the current situation is a little strange, several judges are all veteran officials or literary masters. Their psychological quality is first-class and strong. The surprise in the dessert is naturally put in his heart, but there is no trace on his face.
Fair and fair. Since it is open, the audience naturally has the right to express their preferences, and as a judge, he should naturally maintain a state of uprightness and not show a little selfishness.
Of the ten contestants this time, Jiangnan talented people accounted for half, with a total of five seats, and the capital is not bad. There are three seats, and there are two others. One is a talent selected from Dazhou City, located at the southern end of Yanlong, and the other is from the northeast.
Although these two people are not loud, looking at the determined appearance on their faces, they are not idle people.
The host announced the rules. The winner still has the opportunity to choose the topic this time. In the first round, the players will draw lots to deal with it. If they can't answer the questions, they need to carry out the second round of rush. If the answer is still equal, it will be evaluated according to the quality of the couplet, and the last five will be selected. The winner.
At this moment, the first round of test questions has been engraved on the bamboo board, flipped and evenly placed on a desktop in the center of the field. Yun Xiaomeng stepped forward first and picked one.
The host turned over the bamboo board and shouted at the Xiangzhu loudspeaker, "Listen, the test question is: sunshine screen window, warbler butterfly flying, reflecting hibiscus peony."
Su Yong was also holding a lively heart. At this moment, when he heard this question, he couldn't help but be shocked and put down the teacup raised to his lips. Good boy, this is just a program to have fun with the people. Why is it so difficult? It seems that the emperor really wants to find a few people to come out.
He pondered for a while, and with the rich knowledge and sensitive mind of the two generations, it was difficult to get up for a while. He frowned and stared at Yun Xiaomeng.
The difficulty of this topic is the shadow of the warbler butterfly, the hibiscus peony, and the text is also very much in line with the favorite flower and bird watching habit of the literati at that time, and the whole sentence is full of elegance.
Yun Xiaomeng wandered for a long time, holding a folding fan in his hand, opening and closing it, closing it and opening it again. After a long time, Fang's face was happy and shouted, "The snow falls on the board bridge, chickens and dogs pass by, and they step into bamboo leaves and plum blossoms."
"Good." Everyone couldn't help cheering in unison, and even Su Yong couldn't help shouting. This answer surprised him. He thought that he was worthy of being the first talent of the Beijing Normal University, and the speed of his reaction... was just a little worse than himself.
There are many talents under the stage, and naturally they can hear it. Therefore, not to mention that the Beijing talent acts as a cheerleader everywhere to attract popularity, even the talents from other regions also nodded secretly. Thinking that the Beijing is indeed crouching tigers and hiding dragons, he is also convinced.
Yun Xiaomeng wiped a handful of sweat and walked aside with the nod and approval of the judges. And Xue Guiren, a talented man from Northeast China, came out and calmly chose another bamboo board.
The host read loudly, "Listen, the title is: Goat up the mountain, the mountain touches the goat's horn, ah."
Su Yong almost spewed out a sip of tea. Who is this guy? There is a lot of potential for spoofing. He shook his head and smiled and said nothing.
Na Tuobuhua was stunned when he heard the first couplet just now, and he also sighed deeply when he heard the answer just now. Thinking of Yan Long and other scholars, he is really talented and can get these seconds. At this moment, she was completely into the play. When she heard the topic, she frowned and opened her mind. However, the ink was so limited that she couldn't figure it out.
Seeing Su Yong's smile, she couldn't help stabing in the back, "Alas, will you answer?"
"Pediatrics." Su Yong smiled and asked her to whisper in her ear.
"Wonderful." His eyes were shining, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing when he heard the words. It scared several judges around him.
Seeing that the talented man had not answered, Liu Guanyu couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that General Su's family has a wonderful pair. Why don't we listen to it first and give you some ideas?"
Everyone had no objection and cheered one after another. Even the Northeast talent came to bow and asked for advice.
After Su Yong nodded secretly, he came out from behind in a big way. He shook his head and shook his head ridiculously, and then said word by word, "My answer is: buffalo drinking water, water flooding buffalo nose, boo."
Everyone clapped their hands and laughed, even claimed to be wonderful. They completely forgot that this pair was not their own right. They smiled and bowed in all directions, and then turned back to their seats.
"It's amazing." Wang Shu grabbed his beard with a smile and stood up and said, "General Su is naturally a person with both literature and martial arts, but he didn't expect that his family also had such talent. It's really amazing."
The other judges also nodded and smiled, and were also a little surprised. But I can't see through General Su more and more.
The couple were very interesting, but it triggered the atmosphere, and the scene also began to become lively.
The Northeast talent finally said a pair, which was still public, but there was no interest. Although everyone nodded, they all had a little meaning in front of them.
The talented man also felt that he could not compare with a girl. It was a little unreasonable, so he bowed to the judges very readily and sued him for leaving the stage. This character has made itself get more applause.
The talented man from Dazhou City came up and chose the third question.
The host read: "Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Flow, Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Tower, Jiangliu, Eternal River Tower."
As soon as the words fell, the scholar, including the judges, sighed secretly. This time, the question is often unexpected, but I don't know who drew up the test question? It's such a difficult question to choose.
In Su Yong's heart, he vaguely thought, "Such a test question clearly reveals a message, that is, he is thirsty for talent. Is it the emperor who is the one who answered this question?
Looking at the talented man in Dazhou City, he still closed his eyes and meditated. He came to his ear and asked, "I bet you can't figure this out."
Do you really think I'm a genius? Su Yong shook his head, picked up the teacup and meditated.
There are too many rhymes in the same word, and the structure is ingenious. There is a lot of momentum between the words, and it is not easy to be right.
After a long silence, the scholar in Dazhou City finally raised his eyebrows, but he did not smile, and his face was still solemn. It can be seen that he also felt a little insufficient for his pair.
He walked forward with a little hesitation, bowed to the judges, and then said in a low voice, "I'm right: the moon well, the moon shadow, the moon shadow in the moon well, ten thousand years in the moon well, ten thousand years of moon shadow."
This pair is very neat, and the text is also elegant. The judges looked at each other and nodded. Although the momentum of this couplet is insufficient, the moon shadow of the deep well is naturally difficult to compare with the torrential river. But it is very rare for this time to make such a couplet.
This talent's name is Liang Ziyu. When he saw the judges nodding, he was very calm and didn't have much joy, but just a deep bow.
He raised his head and suddenly walked to Su Yong. He bowed and said, "Zi Yu knows that the momentum of the couplet is not enough. General Su is peerless. I hope the general will not hesitate to give advice."
This talent is a rare modesty, and he has really won the approval of many people. Su Yong was silent for a moment and smiled, "You're welcome. This pair is relatively difficult, and it's not easy for you to get it right. Everyone passed it unanimously and there was no objection.
He paused and stood up and said, "I also have a couple. I just want to say it and refer to you. I don't dare to give advice."
