The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding
Chapter 291 Is there no one in the Song Dynasty?
"Why, it doesn't match?"
Mi Heng had a look of contempt on his face. He was the newly crowned top scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty, and was best at writing couplets. However, he did not expect that Wang Huanzhi would dare to accept his proposal as soon as he stepped forward. This was simply a humiliation for himself.
"It's just a couplet. It's not too difficult. What's the problem?" Wang Huanzhi stood there, calm and composed. He said slowly: "Luofu City is located in Nanjun, the most prosperous place in the Song Dynasty. As the saying goes: sunny or rainy, there are always strange things."
"Rainy or sunny, Nanjun has four distinct seasons, summer and autumn. It is recognized as the most suitable place for people to live, and everyone is curious all the time."
Someone couldn't help but explain.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The scholars of the Song Dynasty who were present at the scene could not help but burst into applause when they saw Wang Huanzhi easily match Mi Heng's first couplet.
"Nice parallelism, so right!"
Cen Shenzi sat there, his face full of admiration.
Mi Heng's face turned a little ugly. He thought that Wang Huanzhi couldn't match it, but he didn't expect that the other party not only matched it, but also matched it so neatly.
He could only grit his teeth and said coldly: "What I said just now was just an appetizer. Now I want to see how you will respond to my second line."
When Mi Heng was about to say the next couplet, Ye Feng, who was sitting there, interrupted Mi Heng and said, "Wait! Since you want to continue, shouldn't you cash in your previous bet first?"
When everyone heard Ye Feng's words, they all looked at Mi Heng.
"It's just ten taels of gold. I can afford to lose it!"
Mi Heng's face turned pale, and he took out a gold ingot from his arms and handed it to Wang Huanzhi.
"Concession!"
Wang Huanzhi was not polite either and took the ten taels of gold.
"Please listen carefully to my first couplet: Green and red, there are warblers and swallows everywhere." Mi Heng said the first couplet with a smile on his face.
"As expected of you, the new number one scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty. This is another very good couplet." Sima Zhu, Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy of the Great Jin Dynasty, couldn't help but admire.
"Do you think this Wang Huanzhi can still fight against us?"
"I feel that Mi Heng came prepared. His first couplet is full of reduplicated words, which is the most difficult to write in couplets."
"I thought about it and this first couplet is very difficult. There is a high probability that I won't be able to get it right."
……
When many people heard Mi Heng's first couplet, they all whispered to each other. They looked at Wang Huanzhi, and everyone was discussing whether Wang Huanzhi could come up with it.
"Flowers and grass grow year after year."
Wang Huanzhi took a few steps, then turned around and looked at Mi Heng, and in a clear voice, he came up with the second line of the couplet again.
“What a nice couplet!”
"Why haven't I heard of this Wang Huanzhi before? He's quite capable."
"I feel like he's pretty good at writing couplets. He was able to write one in such a short time?"
Seeing that Wang Huanzhi was able to come up with the second line in such a short time, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Indeed, both lines were very clever.
"I still don't believe it!"
Mi Heng took out another ingot of gold, handed it to Wang Huanzhi, and started to write the first couplet again.
However, Wang Huanzhi was on the high platform and only took a few steps before he faced the opponent directly. It looked easy and effortless.
Everyone who watched was stunned. Although Mi Heng's first couplet was very tricky, Wang Huanzhi's second couplet was often majestic and powerful. They were all scholars, and they could tell who was better.
Mi Heng recited six couplets in one breath, and Wang Huanzhi also responded with six couplets in one breath, without any fear at all. At such a young age, he had the demeanor of a great man.
"If you can come up with the last couplet, I will admit defeat!" Mi Heng's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth.
He was filled with anger and resentment. Wang Huanzhi in front of him looked poor and had no status, but he was unexpectedly so good at writing couplets.
He was also very clear that if he continued, he would be the only one to be embarrassed. After all, he was the one who came up with the first couplet, while Wang Huanzhi was the one who came up with the second couplet, which was more difficult.
"Look at the Jinsha River, where two streams of water flow down. The mountain in the distance looks like a giant Buddha. As the saying goes: clear springs flow from the Buddha's feet, floating down, and two jade belts flow down."
Mi Heng had an arrogant look on his face. He boasted that the first line of his couplet was very difficult and that Wang Huanzhi would definitely not be able to come up with the second line using Jinsha River.
"As the new champion of the Great Xia Dynasty, Mi Heng is quite capable. He came up with such an exquisite couplet in such a short time."
When someone heard Mi Heng's first couplet and looked towards the Jinsha River in the distance, the scenery was exactly the same as described in Mi Heng's first couplet, very beautiful.
Wang Huanzhi frowned and stared at the Jinsha River in the distance. Countless scenes emerged in his mind, but he could not piece together a corresponding couplet.
Seeing that Wang Huanzhi was taking a long time to respond, Mi Heng, with a smug look on his face, simply returned to his seat, sat down, raised his teacup, and sipped the tea slowly.
About half an hour later, Wang Huanzhi still hadn't figured out the second line. He took out a gold ingot from his pocket. You know, Mi Heng had lost him six gold ingots before, which was sixty taels. With a smile on his face, he looked extremely cheerful, as if it was no big deal for him to not be able to figure out the second line. He walked up to Mi Heng and said, "I really can't figure out the second line. I'll give you ten taels of gold!"
"Hmph! I didn't make the previous six couplets difficult at all, so you were able to match them up easily. Now I'm giving you a little help and you can't match them up. It seems you're just so-so." Mi Heng said with disdain as he looked at the gold in front of him.
"What you said is wrong. Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Winning and losing are common. Besides, I have already defeated you six times, so what's the harm in losing to you once?"
Wang Huanzhi took it calmly. Compared with Mi Heng's aggressiveness and verbal sarcasm, the two were completely different. Many people looked at Wang Huanzhi with admiration.
Ye Feng was sitting in the main seat. Seeing Wang Huanzhi's expression and attitude, he nodded secretly in his heart. This Wang Huanzhi had a good mentality. He looked like a poor scholar, but in fact he had a lot of ideas in his mind and would be of great use in the future.
When Ran Maoshan, the literary master of the Great Xia Dynasty, saw Mi Heng's comeback, he quickly added fuel to the fire. He looked at Su Chen and other famous people in the Great Song Dynasty and said with a smile: "This first couplet is indeed quite clever. I wonder if other people in the Great Song Dynasty can come up with a matching one? It will definitely become a legend!"
Hua Hua Hua...
Many scholars of the Song Dynasty gathered together and brainstormed on how to come up with the second couplet for the first couplet.
Seeing this, Sima Jieyuan, who had been sitting there without saying a word, shook his fan and said aloud, "I never thought that no one in the Song Dynasty could match a couplet. Is there no one in the Song Dynasty who can do it?"
"If you really can't make it right, I would be happy to serve and help your Great Song Dynasty. Hahaha!" Sima Jieyuan paused slightly, laughed, his face full of pride and sarcasm.
(Blessings to everyone, the Spring Festival is coming soon, Qiongtian also left a couplet, brainstorming, everyone in the comment area to come up with the second line, the first line is: I wish all friends who read my novels: Fu Lu Shou Sanxing together, please come up with the second line!)
