Chapter 65: A pair that has been passed down through the ages!
That's it.

The whole scene was much quieter.

The lights will look even better.

The five pairs of contestants on the stage, except for Li Xiao and Zhang Haoxuan's other four talents, their faces were a little ugly, and they were already planning to withdraw from the competition.

But when things got to this point, they could only bite the bullet.

Five pairs of people are waiting for the question.

The shopkeeper of Jin Fengluan thought about it, and he really planned to let Li Xiao win.

But if Li Xiao's poems are too poor, it will inevitably be ugly
He pondered for a while, why not change it.

So, he went down to discuss with Mr. Le, the shopkeeper of Shang Tongrentang Pharmacy, which he co-organized, and decided to change the poetry competition to couplets.

They considered that although Zhang Haoxuan's character was not very good.

But after all, it is also a provincial examination to solve Yuan, and he has some skills.

The poems are probably very powerful together.

And Li Xiao and the others didn't know each other at all, didn't know his strength, and couldn't figure out the details.

If you can't write poems, wouldn't you be doomed?
The couplets are different, and the difficulty has dropped by several levels.

After discussing slightly, the two made a decision.

Jin Fengluan's shopkeeper went to the stage, and then announced loudly: "Fathers, folks, gifted scholars and beauties, for more than ten years, the second competition has been composed of questions and poems."

"But today someone slandered us for cheating!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper took out a piece of paper on which it was written: The flowers are full and the moon is full.

He tore up the piece of paper in front of everyone.

"In order to show justice, I will now cancel the original prepared questions and re-create the questions on the spot!"

As soon as this move came out, it immediately attracted a burst of applause from the people.

At this time, another person came on the stage.

It is the shopkeeper of Tongrentang, about 50 years old, with gray temples.

He walked on the stage and said loudly:
"A few days ago, I was openly calling for couplets at our Tongrentang Pharmacy. Anyone who can give Tongrentang a couplet that can be handed down for a hundred years will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

"Unfortunately, so far, no suitable couplets have been obtained."

"Simply, take advantage of this opportunity today, and use this as the topic, and reward our Tongrentang for a photo that is correct, and give it 200 taels!"

After the words fell, the shopkeeper Jin Fengluan clapped her hands and cheered:

"Okay, that's a good proposal. Tong Ren Tang publicly recruited the right candidates a few days ago. This is something everyone knows, and there is absolutely no suspicion of cheating. What do you think?"

The people in the audience thought about it for a while, and it was absolutely reasonable.

"That's a good idea!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

"That's perfectly fair!"

The people applauded one after another, and the matter was settled like this.

Li Xiao understood at a glance.

The two old men sang together.

Is this changing the way to lower the difficulty for him? ?

I guess I can win if I make a random couplet, right?

It seems that he has won this game from the very beginning.
After all, I am a united front with the organizer.

If you want to blame it, blame that stupid dog named Zhang Haoxuan, who offended two people at once.

at this time.

That Zhang Haoxuan also found something was wrong.

But he is really dumb and eats coptis, and he can't tell what he has suffered.

I can only pray that I can write good couplets and win the game with absolute strength.

"Okay! Come here, take care of me with pen and ink."

The shopkeeper Jin Fengluan loudly arranged, and then lit a stick of incense: "One stick of incense is limited, the competition begins!"

The words fall.

The players have entered into a state of thinking.

Zhu Ningyun also became serious, picked up a pen, and began to think.

As for Li Xiao, he had already thought up the couplet at this time.

Isn't it just to write a couplet for a pharmacy?

it's too simple
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a very famous pharmacy.

There is a pair of good pairs that have been handed down for hundreds of years.

At this time, Zhu Ningyun already had some ideas and was about to start writing.

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Ningyun, I thought of it."

"Ah?" Zhu Ningyun asked in a low voice: "Actually, I don't have a clue, I just want to start writing to find inspiration, Xiao. Come and listen to me."

Li Xiao leaned over and whispered the couplet in his ear.

Zhu Ningyun kept the couplet in her heart and savored it carefully.

Then, I felt a shudder all over my body.

This couplet is also... great,

He looked at Li Xiao in surprise, his husband is simply a genius!

"Xiaolang, this couplet will definitely win the championship!"

Full of joy, Zhu Ningyun took up a pen and wrote the couplet on paper, and then covered it with paper.

Wrote it so quickly?

The guy on the side was a little surprised, but he still announced loudly: "No. 28, the gifted scholar and beautiful woman, has already taken the lead to write the couplet!"

The voice fell.

The whole lantern festival was lively again.

"This number 28 is really amazing."

"Yeah, how long has it been? In a dozen or so breaths, the couplets have been made."

"I think that young man is a bit powerful. He was talking in a low voice just now, and the woman started to write. He should have come up with it."

"It seems that there are still many folk masters, and Jie Yuan is not very good."

The common people discussed in low voices one after another.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu in the crowd was also very nervous.

He thought in his heart, it doesn't matter if his brother-in-law wins or not.

This little bastard named Zhang Haoxuan still wanted to mess with him.

On the stage.

Hearing that Li Xiao had already written the couplet, Zhang Haoxuan was not surprised but happy.

Xindao: What good couplet can you make so quickly?Let me think about it and win you over.

When a stick of incense is about to end.

He finally wrote a couplet that satisfied him.

A stick of incense.

burn out.

"time up!"

Shopkeeper Jin Fengluan announced loudly: "Now our judges will check the couplets one by one and pick the best one."

The voice fell.

Five people who looked like a group of masters and the pharmacy shopkeeper himself stepped onto the stage.

View couplets in order.

They watched and discussed in low voices.

Sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head.

After seeing Zhang Haoxuan's couplet, they showed worry.

I have to say, this couplet is well written.

But they knew in their hearts that Li Xiao had to win, it was just a formality
They just put it down after a few glances, and finally walked in front of Li Xiao.

Pick up the couplet on the table, unfold it, and look at it.

[I hope people in the world are free from illness. ]
[He Xi puts the medicine on the shelf to generate dust. ]
Talk about seventeen characters, but it seems to contain a beautiful vision like a big ambition! !
Subsequently.

All six people were stunned!

This couplet, at a glance, is a little ordinary.

But if you think about it carefully, it's like a work of magic!
Especially the treasurer of Tongrentang.

When he saw this couplet, he was so excited that it was hard to attach!

I hope that people in the world are not sick, so why not put medicine on the shelf to generate dust.

Speak out the aspirations of ordinary people and resonate.

Having said that, the common people should get sick, and they will still get sick.

The business of his own pharmacy will not be affected, but will rise steadily!
This is the pair I want that can be passed down for a hundred years! !

The shopkeeper of Tongrentang trembled slightly while holding the couplet.

It was originally intended for Li Xiao to win.

But this is simply to win by strength, okay?What a surprise!

"Okay! Great! This is the couplet that Tongrentang wants!"

"Hahaha, I'm really lucky, I didn't expect to get the pair I wanted here!"

"This pair will definitely last forever, and will be engraved in front of our Tongrentang forever!"

The shopkeeper of Tongrentang looked at the other five excitedly, and said, "This must be the leader of this competition, what do you think?"

The other five elders nodded without hesitation: "Is there even a need to think about it? This is a wonderful pen, a pair that can be passed down through the ages!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper Jin Fengluan was also a little curious, walked over to take a look, and was also stunned.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and announced to the audience:

"Number 28, without any dispute, number one in the competition!"

The voice fell, and the audience boiled!
This also announced that Zhang Haoxuan was planted
And Zhang Haoxuan had been prepared for a long time, and hurriedly shouted: "It's not fair, I want it to be announced to the public, so that everyone present can comment!"
