Everyone was thinking about it, and when they finally came to deal with it, it was a servant dressed as a servant. When they saw the piece of pen and ink in his hand, they all shook their heads and laughed. How could this be a pen? It's a charcoal pillar.
After the family member finished writing, everyone's eyes fell, but they saw that the handwriting was flying and dancing, and the seven characters that fell on the white paper were exactly the same as the first couplet, which was also "long long long long long long".
"My dear friend, what do you mean by copying the Shanglian again?" An official asked.
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "What is copying? I'm afraid this brother didn't understand what it means."
The other officials said impatiently: "Go down, go down, don't waste time here, do you deserve this pair?"
Lin Wanrong didn't bother to talk to them, looked at the old man and said, "Old man, what do you say?"
The old man laughed and said, "Little brother, didn't you really copy this couplet once?"
Damn, I used to play these crossword puzzles a lot in Chinese class when I was a child. You pretend to understand, the old man is so sinister, Lin Wanrong also smiled and said: "If the old man thinks it is copying, then it is copying, the world hTtP ://Www.QUanbEn-xIAoShUo.com
The article is a big copy, so it doesn't matter if I copy it. "
The old man stroked his beard and smiled and said: "This little brother really has some skills. If so, please read this couplet again. If you are right, I will definitely give this "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" to my little brother."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "The upper line is: 长越长加长长加; the lower line is: 越长进长加越长. The horizontal interpretation is: 起长长加. Excuse me, old man, am I reading it right?"
The old man glanced at him and said with a smile: "This old man has traveled all over the provinces, and this couplet has been published more than ten times, and the first person can match it in a day. My brother is really extraordinary."
When everyone heard Lin Wanrong read this couplet, they suddenly realized that this is a couplet with the same characters, and it grows and grows. It implies the tide of the Qiantang River, which is very appropriate for the situation and title of this "West Lake Misty Rain Picture".
This pair is difficult to say, but it is worthless when it is put into words. The officials were all annoyed, how could I not have thought of such a simple matter, and this little servant got the "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" for nothing.
The eldest lady also suddenly realized that she couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling when she saw Lin San. This person must have heard this riddle a long time ago, no wonder he is so sure.
The old man laughed loudly and said, "My little brother has such talents. This "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" can be regarded as a gift to the right person. Please accept it now, little brother.
This old man is really capable. This painting of misty rain is purely a painting of scenery, very natural. It is the kind of good painting that can calm one's mind and calm one's mind. It should be able to sell for a high price. Lin Wanrong was about to take it with a smile, but a few officials said: "Mr., we are not convinced."
The old man wondered: "Why are you dissatisfied?"
One of the officials said: "Although the couple's witty words are natural, the person who responded to them was clever, so we are very dissatisfied. The old gentleman's "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" is not a vulgar thing, and we have the heart to look up to it. Then ask the old gentleman to come up with another question, and I will do the comparison again."
The old man smiled and said: "If you don't believe your words, how can you stand up for him? The old man said just now that as long as he matches this couplet, he will give him this "West Lake Misty Rain Picture". How can you go back on your word?"
Lin Wanrong nodded. This old man does have some sense of loyalty. For this reason, this "West Lake Misty Rain Picture". I must sell it for a good price so as not to lose you.
The old man glanced at Lin Wanrong, and then said: "However, since all the talented scholars have such a taste, the old man is also very pleased, so let's ask this little brother who took the painting to make another couplet, as long as one of you is worthy of it." , I will make another "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" on the Su Causeway, and I can guarantee it. The artistic conception and charm of these two pictures are completely different, so you can rest assured."
There was a bit of pride on the old man's face, as if he had full confidence in his painting skills. At the same time, at the same place, painting two "Pictures of Misty Rain on the West Lake", with different artistic conceptions and charms, what this means, everyone present is very clear, but no one doubts the ability of this old man, but look at him. Just now when he completed the painting with ease, he knew that he must have reservations. Having said that, even if the two copies of "West Lake Misty Rain" are exactly the same, with the old man's skillful brushwork, it is still a big selling point, and it is also a treasure that people who love painting are flocking to.
All the scholars readily agreed, and the old man looked at Lin Wanrong and said with a smile: "Brother, I don't know if this old man makes such a presumptuous request, can I give you some kindness?"
He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, and besides, the old man was very friendly. Lin Wanrong had a good impression of him, so he smiled and said, "Since it is the elder who speaks, how can the boy not follow? But this old man, if I come out If no one can answer the couplet, then your second painting will also be given to me."
The eldest lady smiled sweetly when she heard this, this Lin San is really a guy who refuses to suffer, this sentence is in an invincible position: if someone comes up against him, there is no loss for him, if not, then Then he can take the second copy of "Amist and Rain Picture". With this person's cunning, he definitely won't come up with any simple couples. This group of officials is too miserable, why did they meet this person who is so bad that he can't be more bad.
The old man laughed and said boldly: "Brother, just come out, if no one can correct it, let alone one picture, even ten pictures, even an old man can draw it."
The toad yawned loudly. I'm hanging on the fourth couplet of the food is immortal, but I haven't seen anyone who can get it right. But today you are an old man, so I will show you some face and come up with a simple one.
Lin Wanrong took a few steps slowly, and said with a smile: "Since today is a couplet with the same characters, then the boy will make a fool of himself, let's make a couplet with the same characters."
In the past, only talented people took the test of other people, but today it is my turn to test you. Lin Wanrong smiled and took out the pens. This time, a few smart officials hurriedly spread out the blank paper. Wrote: "The sea water is falling toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward toward."
These couplets were all Lin Wanrong's favorite when he was learning Chinese in middle school. They were just lip service, which suited his temperament, how could he not like them
Seeing the words Lin Wanrong, everyone fell into deep thought. Even the eldest lady and the old man were no exception. With the previous example, everyone will know that this is a couplet of the same character, but how to break the word and how to read it. But it is a great knowledge, and most people don't even understand how to read it, let alone read the second line.
The eldest lady smiled slightly, after thinking for a while, she already knew how to read this couplet, but it was beyond his ability to read the second couplet. He couldn't help but glanced at Lin San with a smile. This man is weird, and he doesn't know where he got such strange essays.
Lin Wanrong smiled and looked around. See except that the eldest lady and the old man have some clues. The other officials were all frowning, obviously clueless.
"Can someone be right?" Lin Wanrong smiled, he was very happy to embarrass these officials, and asked you to recite poems to be right. Today, I will let you see what it means to have people beyond people and beyond the sky, so as to save you guys from turning your eyes to the sky all day long, thinking that the earth will not turn without you.
All the officials were speechless, just now they said that this family was playing tricks, but now it's their turn, but they couldn't even figure out how to play tricks, this poem and book is really a waste of time.
See no answer. When Lin Wanrong smiled, the old man said: "Old man, since there is no answer, I will collect the second copy of "West Lake Misty Rain Picture".
The old man hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, brother, please allow me to think again."
This old man's attitude is very good, Lin Wanrong thought, this kind of person is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he is humble and polite, approachable, rich in experience, with such talent, demeanor, and momentum, where is Hou Yuebai's shit geniuses? Comparable.
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the old man thinks slowly."
The eldest lady stepped forward to pull him, and said with a smile: "I will accept it when I see you, this old gentleman is kind, don't make things difficult for him anymore."
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said seriously: "Miss, you are wrong, I am not embarrassing him, but respecting him."
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and then she understood a little bit, for a person like this old man, if you have a problem that can stump him, for him, that is the greatest joy and comfort, and it is also true respect.
The eldest lady gave him an angry look, and said with a smile: "You are the most sophistry, so you are right."
Lin Wanrong saw the eldest lady with pink face, peach cheeks and smiling face like a flower. Her figure and appearance were three points better than Sanyue's peach blossom, and her heart skipped a beat. It's getting lower and lower. If this continues, in a few days, Lao Tzu will be pushed down by her, and I'm afraid it will be willing.
When the eldest lady saw him staring at her, her heart trembled, her cheeks glowed, and she snorted, "What are you looking at, and I'll dig out your eyeballs."
"Go ahead and watch after you dig it out." Lin Wanrong said with a grin.
"I'm rude, I've never seen such a bad person like you." Unable to bear his gaze, the eldest lady hurriedly took two steps back, turned her head and said softly: "If you are so frivolous again, I will ignore you gone."
In my opinion, this reason is really weak. I just saw the anger on the young lady's face, and I know that girls are thin-skinned, and they can't be molested to the end at once. They have to accumulate slowly, molesting a little every day, so that her resistance will be unconscious. She degenerates until she breaks her bottom line.
Lin Wanrong laughed, but the eldest lady was startled when she saw his face glowing, and hurried away from him a few steps, her heart beating wildly, the eyes of this villain were so annoying.
Lin Wanrong was paying attention to the **, but when the old man clapped his hands suddenly, he said happily: "Yes."
His voice was very loud, but it startled everyone who was thinking. The old man was full of excitement, took a small pen, and wrote a line of big characters on Lin Wanrong's upper and lower couplets: "Floating clouds are long and long." Long long long long fade."
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, this old man is really capable, this pair is very neat, it is a match made in heaven.
Seeing that the old man was right, everyone heaved a long sigh of relief, but they were a little bit disappointed, and their dreams of "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" were completely shattered.
The old man was overjoyed, looked at Lin Wanrong eagerly and said, "Brother, what do you think of this couplet?"
Lin Wanrong saw that his temples were pale, but now he was as pleasantly surprised as a child, nodded and smiled and said:
"The old man is highly talented, and the boy is full of admiration."
"Wrong, wrong, wrong," the old man nodded and said, "Little brother, you can come out of the situation and embed the previous couplet into this couplet, and this couplet with the same word will come at your fingertips. That is the real talent."
It should be said that the Chinese teacher taught it well, Lin Wanrong smiled, he didn't know how to write the word shameless, and said, it should be said that I learned it well. But the old man's flattery is very good, this flatterer is very cool, Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "The old man is too good, we are mutual."
Everyone saw that the two of them praised each other, but they couldn't figure out how to read the upper and lower couplets, but they were too embarrassed to ask questions, so they had to listen to what the two had to say.
The old man said enthusiastically: "I used to paint with others, but I never inscribed seals. I never thought that on the bank of Qiantang today, on the Su Causeway Bridge, I would meet such a talent as my little brother. I really am a confidant. I can't say it." An exception has been made."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "The old man has won the prize. In fact, your painting is very good. It should be able to sell—"
The eldest lady gave him a quick look, and Lin Wanrong suddenly realized, ouch, I almost slipped my mouth in a moment of joy.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Could it be that little brother wants to sell my painting?"
Hey, the more I said the old man was getting smarter, Lin Wanrong felt strange, this old man is really not simple, he smiled sarcastically and said: "The old man is so righteous, if the boy lied to you, it would be disrespectful. No Tell the old man that I only have a half-knowledge about poetry and painting, and this painting is a waste if I put it here, why not make a price and sell it to someone who really appreciates it, wouldn't it be a good fit for both?"
The literati and ink scholars of this era attach great importance to their own calligraphy, and many people do not want their works to be associated with money, thinking that it is contaminated with the smell of copper and belittles themselves. Hearing Lin Wanrong's words, the eldest lady was terrified, thinking, you are usually a mature person, why are you so reckless today.
Although the young lady knows people well, she is not as good as Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong saw that the old man was dressed luxuriously, but he was very peaceful, so he couldn't hide it from him, so he told him directly.
The old man smiled heartily: "My little brother is indeed a man of integrity, and this old man admires it very much. If this painting can really be turned into real gold and silver, that would be a great thing. In business, it is to turn things into money. Yes, if everyone in the world has a mind like my little brother, why should I, Dahua, be unhappy?"
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed when he said it in one sentence. Listening to the meaning of the old man's words, he was not only not ashamed, but also happy. It seemed that he didn't feel any rejection of doing business, which is rare.
"Little brother, are you in business?" the old man asked.
Lin Wanrong nodded, and the old man said with a smile: "Since you are doing business here in the south of the Yangtze River, maybe we will meet again one day. I have to ask about the seal today."
He took out lower case letters, and wrote four small characters on the corners of the "West Lake Misty Rain Picture", then smiled and dropped the pen, and walked away.
