The two of them kept coming and going, constantly producing excellent works, making the atmosphere in the painting boat even more intense.
Wan'er lost her previous nervousness and fear, leaning against the window and staring at Li Tianzong below with a look of admiration. Li Tianzong spoke and laughed with ease, his witty words overflowing like a whirlpool, sucking her in and causing her to lose herself.
Xiyun smiled with a smile, knowing that his young master had won the battle. On the scene, it seemed difficult to distinguish and compare, but upon closer observation, it was found that the young master had more room for maneuver and his expression was full of playfulness, indicating that he had not yet exerted his strength; Yang Yu, while undoubtedly possessing exceptional knowledge and intelligence, has consumed alcohol too frequently. Whenever she becomes nervous or overly excited, she tends to drink, which means her mood fluctuates too much and she has already lost.
In a little while, the young master should be able to showcase his true abilities.
As Xiyun had thought, after two more trips, Li Tianzong closed the folding fan and suddenly looked at a servant in the audience, asking, "What's your name
The servant was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Young Master, the name of the little man is Xiaolou." Everyone was puzzled. Why did he ask for the servant's name without reason?
Li Tianzong nodded, his eyes focused, and after a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said, "Miss Yang, listen carefully. My first couplet is: Blow the jade sheng cold, rest and lean against the railing, and whisper about the east wind last night
This couplet is selected from Li Jing's "Washing the Sand in the Stream" in the Southern Tang Dynasty:
The fragrance of lotus leaves lingers on the green leaves, while the west wind mourns amidst the blue waves. Still emaciated with Shaoguang, unbearable to look at.
The drizzling rain brings back the chicken in the distance, and the small building blows through the jade flute cold. How many tears of infinite hatred, leaning against the railing.
This is a question with hidden characters embedded in the name couplet, which hides the word "Xiaolou" and also embeds the name of the servant "Xiaolou". To match this couplet well, the next couplet also needs to be selected from poetry, hiding the word "Xiaolou" and embedding it, which is not simple! Yang Yu fell into deep contemplation, searching for poems with the word 'Xiaolou' in her heart.
Like her, the spectators in the hall, as well as the talented officials on the second floor, and even the layman Xianyun, were struggling to figure out how to respond to this question. There were many words containing the word "Xiaolou" in the couplet, and most of them immediately thought of Li Jing's son, Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty's "Xiaolou had the east wind last night". However, the couplet already had the word "Dongfeng last night", which naturally did not apply.
As for the rest, it's either the mood doesn't match or the part of speech is incorrect. Everyone wants to break their heads, but they gain nothing.
Yang Yu took a few steps, and Ying frowned. She picked up the gourd wine pot and wanted to drink, but unexpectedly the pot was empty and couldn't pour out any nectar! She had to call the maid and ask her to serve wine to the jug. Without the wine, the more she thought about it, the worse it got. Seeing that the limited time fragrance was about to burn out, she smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Li, this couplet doesn't match Yang's
Before she could finish speaking, the painting boat was filled with thunderous cheers, some applauding and others applauding, as if trying to overturn this luxurious painting boat.
Sima Hao, who is usually gentle and refined, couldn't help but clap the window and shout, his mouth trembling with excitement; Liang Lei's face turned red as he habitually tried to shake the folding fan. However, his hand was empty, and he choked on it. In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to randomly pull the round fan from the hand of a painting boat girl beside him and shake it.
Although the painting boat cheered and cheered, it had no effect on Yang Yu. Her face remained unchanged and she said, "Young Master Li, could you please reveal the couplet to dispel our confusion
Li Tianzong smiled and bowed his hand, saying, "The next couplet is: I am worried about the leakage of gold, and I have come to listen to the rain, rushing through the deep alleys of the Ming Dynasty
Yang Yumian furrowed her brow, pondered for a moment, and then questioned, "Yang doesn't know! Where did Li Gongzi's couplet come from?" There were all the viewers who had the same question as her.
Hehe, this couplet is from my place, "Li Tianzong laughed and walked up to the coffee table on stage. He picked up the tea bowl prepared for him, took a sip of his moist and dry throat, and then said," In order to write this couplet, I have to write a poem called 'Spring Rain at the Beginning':
Shi Wei has been as thin as a veil in the past few years. Who made the horseman Jinghua?
Listening to spring rain all night in a small building, selling apricot blossoms in a deep alley during the Ming Dynasty.
Short paper runs diagonally and leisurely makes grass, while fine milk plays tea by the clear window.
Wearing plain clothes, don't let the wind and dust sigh, as if you can come home during Qingming Festival.
Yang Yu's face was lost in thought, looking at the ripples in Li Tianzong's bright eyes. This poem is fresh and timeless, with a hint of melancholy hidden, especially the line "Listening to spring rain all night in a small building, selling apricot blossoms in a deep alley during the Ming Dynasty." The imagery is vivid and touching. She has traveled for many years, and how many times she has listened to the spring rain in one night, and how many times she has felt melancholy and separation, seem to be all contained in this poem
How could Li Tianzong, who is only fifteen years old and has never been to any other place except the capital and Linxian, write such poignant and beautiful poems!
Those who are knowledgeable cannot help but exclaim in amazement. There are many people reciting that poem lightly in the painted boat, and as for the maid responsible for recording this literary struggle, she has already added this poem to the rice paper.
Yang Yu took the gourd pot filled with drinks from the maid, took a sip, and smiled, "Young Master Li, you've done such a good deed, I dare not hide it! Listen up: Look at the Jianglou, look at the Jiangliu, look at the Jianglou, look at the Jiangliu, the Jianglou will last forever, and the Jiangliu will last forever
Wonderful! Everyone couldn't help but make a decision. This Wangjiang Tower is a famous building in Linxian, and it's quite difficult to connect with the place name.
Li Tianzong was searching for a suitable place name in his heart, but he had only traveled for a short period of time, so how did he know what famous scenic spots there were in Linxian? After taking two steps, he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to look up and around for inspiration. When he looked up, he happened to see Xiyun on the second floor. As soon as Xiyun saw him looking over, he quickly pointed in his direction, as if saying something.
What does she mean by pointing here? Li Tianzong knew that Xiao Xiyun was extremely smart and wouldn't behave for no reason. However, when she pointed to the stage,... he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and couldn't help but praise, "What a Xiyun
Smiling at Yang Yu, he said, "Compete on the poetry platform, compete on the poetry platform, compete on the poetry platform, compete on the poetry platform for thousands of years, and compete on the poetry platform for thousands of years
The enthusiastic cheers and applause need not be detailed, but in a private room on the second floor, Lin Xuan, Ye Feng, and several other book friends let out a big sigh, obviously unwilling for Li Tianzong to win. Ye Feng angrily threw his glass in his hand and said, "Where did that kid learn! Ziang, if he wins against General Fei, your first talented person won't be saved
A hint of gloom flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as he smiled and said, "All the top talents are just empty names. What matters most is that someone can defeat Yang Qiongying and give us men a sigh of relief
Ye Feng snorted and looked disdainful. He wouldn't believe Lin Xuan's words even if he were beaten to death!
Without mentioning the joys and sorrows of others, Yang Yu's face was full of joy. She picked up a jug of wine and took a big sip, saying, "Haha, it's so satisfying!" It turned out that this couplet was created by her while playing at Wangjiang Tower before, but unfortunately she couldn't think of the next couplet. Today, she broke this couplet and was very happy.
Seeing Yang Yu's sincere expression, Li Tianzong's impression of her improved a bit. Previously, he thought she was fighting to win, but now it seems that this is not the case. She engages in literary battles everywhere, indulging both physically and mentally in these poems and songs, happy to obtain wonderful sentences and works, and worried about being unable to break the alliance.
Li Gongzi, it's time for you to leave the couplet! "Yang Yu saw him staring at her, his pink cheeks flushed, whether it was due to drunkenness or her daughter's shyness.
Li Tianzong snapped out of his daze and smiled, saying, "Okay, Miss Yang, listen: Last night, the east wind blew a pool of spring water in the small building
Another small building! Yang Yu silently read it and understood the mystery of this couplet. The phrase 'Xiaolou had the east wind last night' comes from Li Yu's poem 'Yu Meiren': 'Xiaolou had the east wind again last night, so the country cannot look back on the bright moon.'; And 'blowing and wrinkling a pool of spring water' comes from the poem 'Visiting Jinmen' by the Southern Tang poet Feng Yansi: when the wind suddenly rises, it blows and wrinkles a pool of spring water.
This is a collection of couplets, which requires the use of sentences from two poems and must match the artistic conception. The difficulty level should not be inferior to the hidden word embedding couplets just now.
Yang Yu was frowning and drinking repeatedly. Should she also write two poems to summarize her thoughts? Looking at Li Tianzong who was quietly waiting, I suddenly wanted to know if his couplet was still as exciting as before? After much thought, Yang Yu couldn't figure it out and smiled, "Young Master Li, please reveal the couplet
I've stumped the Flying General twice! Joyful cheers resounded, hoping that all the winners of Li Tianzong's victory would give high fives in celebration; And some people with ulterior motives grit their teeth.
As for the previous question, the second couplet of this collection of sentences also comes from the work below. "Li Tianzong wanted to laugh, but he couldn't find it. As soon as he thought about the words he was about to recite, he was a little lost in thought.
The events of his past life, the people of his past life, flow through his heart one by one. He has been in this world for many days, but there is still no authenticity, as if everything is just a dream. When he wakes up, it disappears into thin air. He looked at Yang Yu, who was within reach but also at a distance. The person who belongs to him, the world that belongs to him, where is it? "Li Tianzong closed his eyes slightly and whispered
Searching and searching, cold and desolate, desolate and sorrowful. It's the hardest time to rest when it's warm or cold. Three cups and two cups of light wine, how can they compete with him? The wind is strong at night. The geese are passing by, sad, but they have met in the past.
The yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, withered and worn. Who can pick them now? Guarding the window, how can one be dark alone? Wutong also has drizzle, which drizzles in the dusk. This time, how could you handle a single word of sorrow
Just now, the whole hall was filled with cheers, but now the needle drops can be heard, and the more discerning the goods, the more shocked they become; I dare not speak out when I see others calm down with an air of elegance.
After the Southern Tang Dynasty, ci flourished in the Song Dynasty, and the same was true in the New Song Dynasty. But in this prosperous era, which poet could write such a melancholic masterpiece? This song 'Slow Sound' is a famous work by Li Qingzhao in her later years. At that time, when the country was in ruins and the family was in turmoil, she made a poignant and sorrowful work, which moved countless generations. But now, according to historical time, if Li Qingzhao were born, she would only be fifteen years old. Even in her later years, the powerful New Song Dynasty would not have allowed her to create this astonishing work?
In a private room on the second floor, Qiqi, who was standing by the window, lost her soul and murmured, "Searching, searching..." It was like returning to the days when she used to be lost. After searching for a long time, the surroundings were still cold and desolate, and everything felt desolate and bleak
Her family was poor and sold into a brothel at a very young age. Seeing that she was a beautiful and clever girl, the nanny focused on nurturing her to become a courtesan in the future. When learning elegant things such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, life may be difficult, but it is fulfilling. You don't have to think about anything, just learn, learn; But one day she will be pushed out to pick up guests. She is lucky to be able to perform without selling her body, and it's the hardest time to rest when it's still warm and cold.
Drinking tea and admiring flowers all day long, but unable to withstand the disturbance of gusts of wind, how to dispel the sadness in one's heart? That wild goose flew by, familiar, why does even the flying goose cry out in sorrow? Is it also sad?
Flowers will eventually wither, with petals falling one after another, not picked for her; She had to guard the window by herself, watching as it slowly got dark outside. The rain fell on the leaves of wutong trees, and it seemed to hit her heart. How could she use the word "sorrow" to say everything she thought?
After reciting the word, Qiqi's bright eyes had become misty, and a tear had condensed in her eye socket, gradually dripping and hitting the edge of the window.
Not only did Qiqi shed tears, but those who shared the same feelings also blushed. Xiyun gently bit her lower lip, recalling her childhood, when she was a clever young lady and loved by her family; Just one day, her father was imprisoned, her family was destroyed, and she also entered the church, feeling sad and miserable. Suddenly, her arm was tightly held by someone, but Wan'er beside her felt emotional and missed her family.
Sister, the young master's words make people feel so uncomfortable... "Wan'er choked up and said.
After a while, the painted boat regained its vitality, with many people sighing and some applauding. The idle cloud layman exclaimed, "How wonderful! Young Master Li can make such a masterpiece at such a young age, how wonderful
Li Tianzong smiled lightly and said, "My second couplet is: wutong trees are more like drizzle, how many sunsets can we eliminate?"
The first sentence is of course selected from "Slow Sound" just now, while the second sentence comes from Liu Yan's "Qingping Music": "The east wind is still strong, with a focus on the willows on the Sui embankment. Rubbing it until the geese are yellow and ready to leave, the weather is clear and bright. Last year at the Purple Mo Qingmen, tonight it rained and the soul was cloudy. It will ruin a lifetime of weariness, and can last for a few evenings
Liu Yan was born in 1048, and in this world, he was born according to time, and he also wrote this song 'Qingping Yue'. On weekdays, Li Tianzong reads poetry and books from the New Song Dynasty and discovers that some historical figures were not born or did not write poems about their past lives; Some historical figures were born and completed lives similar to their previous lives, with only some differences in details.
Last night, the east wind in Xiaolou wrinkled a pool of spring water
Wutong also has drizzle, which can eliminate several dusk
Yang Yu let out a loud laugh and drank heavily from the jade liquor in the jug, feeling so overwhelmed that the drink flowed down her slender pink neck along the corners of her mouth. After drinking, she smiled and said, "I admire you! I lost the first round
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, didn't it only stump you twice? Yang Yu continued, "From the beginning to the end, Young Master Li remained calm and composed. With just a slight force, he defeated Yang twice in a row. I am willing to bow down
Li Tianzong glanced at her and knew that she was keeping her promise. Before the competition, she had said she would let him do it once. Although she later said she would retract it, she did not retract it from herself; Plus losing twice in a row now, knowing that he is not his opponent in the couplet, he freely surrendered.
Without being modest or polite, Li Tianzong smiled and said, "Miss Yang, I'm one step closer to getting the jackpot
