Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 44 Excuse me! Goodbye!

"Yansuo Pondliu?"

Gao Lin and other scholars who were nearby frowned as they looked at the first couplet and could not help but recite it softly.

Behind them, their companions who were farther away could not see clearly what was written above, but they learned the first half of the couplet through their companions' retelling.

A thoughtful look appeared on everyone's face.

As long as you match this first couplet, you can see Su Chen, but this first couplet...

it's wired!
Just looking at these five words, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, all five elements are included.

The five words put together create a peaceful and tranquil picture that brings peace of mind.

A quiet pond, surrounded by green willows and shrouded in mist.

Just now.

Beneath this quiet scene, there seems to be a monster with its bloody mouth opened wide, suddenly breaking through the fog and wanting to eat them all.

Fine beads of sweat soon appeared on the foreheads of the scholars.

absolutely.

Absolutely amazing!
Using the five elements as the first couplet, he drew such a tranquil painting. Does Su Chen have such skills?

On the second floor not far from where the fragrance came from, Cen Wenzhao had a stern expression on his face, and he looked like he was in a trance, his body shaking slightly uncontrollably.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master?"

Sun Meng shook Cen Wenzhao, and Cen Wenzhao suddenly woke up, with beads of cold sweat dripping down his temples.

He casually picked up the wine jug on the table and drank it in big gulps, then raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth without any image.

"Second Young Master, what are you doing?"

"Hard, too cruel!"

Cen Wenzhao took a deep breath and looked at the couplet on the outer wall of Wenxianglai. "Once this couplet comes out, it will force all of them to death!"

Sun Meng: “???”

"Second Master, it's just the first line of a couplet. Is it that scary? There are hundreds of scholars gathered here today, including old masters from the Imperial College and famous talents. How can they not come up with this first line of a couplet?"

Cen Wenzhao was about to say something, but after seeing Sun Meng's ignorant expression, Cen Wenzhao shook his head and sighed.

Sun Meng could barely read, so explaining it to him was like talking to a cow.

As soon as this couplet came out, the scholars and literati who came to cause trouble became a laughing stock!

"Not only are they destined to return empty-handed, but they will also make him famous..."

Cen Wenzhao looked into the distance silently, and his eyes fell on Gao Lin who came out smelling the fragrance.

Gao Lin is familiar with him.

After hearing about what happened to Kong Huiyuan, he was very angry and wanted to teach Su Chen a lesson to see what he was capable of.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Cen Wenzhao suggested that they should make the matter bigger and involve the scholars from the Imperial College.

If it succeeds, Gao Lin will definitely have achieved a great success, become a guest of honor in the Kong family, and his meteoric rise to prominence is just around the corner.

But now...

Ugh!
If Kong Huiyuan were here, would he be able to come up with such a unique couplet?

No.

It's hard.

Cen Wenzhao pondered the possibilities in his mind. Perhaps even if Kong Zhixuan was here, it would be difficult for him to come up with the second line of the couplet.

"Yeah, you're right!"

Seeing Gao Lin and his group in terrible silence, Jin Yong put his hands on his waist with a hint of pride, pointed at the group of scholars and said, "Aren't all of you students of the Imperial Academy, famous and talented people?"

"My master is kind-hearted and gave you a chance to fight. Is that so that you can remain calm and collected? Have you all eaten arsenic and become mute?"

"With such little knowledge, you dare to come to our store to cause trouble and even demolish our store?"

"Come on, come on, everyone, get out of the way. Let's see if they have the nerve to tear down our store!"

Faced with Jin Yong's ruthless ridicule, all the scholars stared at Jin Yong with red faces.

I wanted to pick up a knife and chop him into pieces.

"I came here to smell the fragrance. Seeing that you are all scholars, I will give you a chance to compete with me in literature. You are right!"

"Aren't you all great talents and masters? How come you are helpless when someone just casually says a couplet?"

Some spectators who loved to watch the fun could not help but make fun of it when they saw that this couplet had stumped many scholars present.

Soon, passers-by who were watching the show began to echo the voices, and the voices grew louder and louder.

But the scholars present were all blushing, almost bleeding, and they didn't dare to come up with the second line.

As for demolishing the store...

I don't have the face or courage to do that!

If they really did this, not only would their friends in the same industry look down on them, but they would also have no chance of staying in Chang'an City in the future.

otherwise.

"Look, that's the guy. He was given a couplet, but he didn't come up with a couplet. Instead, he got so angry that he smashed the other person's store. Hetui!"

Shame on you!
Just thinking about such rumors would frighten many scholars.

"I am not very knowledgeable, so I'll take my leave."

"I... take my leave!"

"Farewell!"

"excuse me!"

The thin-skinned scholars didn't dare to stay any longer. They bowed and covered their faces before running away.

He came in a threatening manner and left in a miserable state.

in the crowd.

Su Chen tapped his folding fan with a smile on his face. Why hadn't he noticed before that Jin Yong was such a strong person in attracting hatred?

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, Gao Lin suddenly spoke loudly, "Since this first couplet was written by Su Chen, then he must have come up with the second couplet?"

Hear the words.

Many of the scholars who were about to leave stopped.

That's right.

Since Su Chen was able to come up with such an amazing first couplet, there must be a second couplet.

Even if they couldn't come up with the second line, they still wanted to take a look at this extremely exquisite second line.

"hetui!"

Jin Yong spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and looked at Gao Lin with disdain, "My master knows that you scholars are very evil."

"But since you want to know the second line, I will reluctantly oblige you!"

The eyes of many scholars lit up.

Jin Yong cleared his throat and said in a high voice: "My master said that all the customers who come to smell the fragrance to buy rouge and powder can sell all our products at half price as long as they can match this couplet."

"If the match is exquisite, all the products of Wenxianglai will be sold to you for free. You can also help promote it..."

Angry.

Gao Lin and others were angry.

They are waiting for the second line, not for your advertisement!

"enough!"

"The second line, where's the second line?!"

Everyone talked at once, asking Jin Yong to come up with the second line.

Jin Yong glanced at them with a smile, "Young Master said that there is more than one second line, but you guys can't even answer the first line, and you still want to hear the second line?"

"Eat shit, you guys!"

"..."

After a brief silence, the scholars and scholars left in anger, waving their sleeves.

hateful!

How abominable!

I thought I could hear the exquisite Eternal Absolute, but I was fooled by Su Chen and became a stepping stone for them to promote their soap!

Staying here for one more second would be a humiliation to them.

In the blink of an eye, the congested streets became deserted. Apart from some busybodies clapping and making jokes, there was no one else.
