Can we go in now?”
Zhu Pingan’s naive smile at the doorway was unusually piercing in the eyes of the constipated shopkeeper.
He did not expect this countryside poor boy actually know Du Fu’s song “guest to”, for himself to give him a so simple couplet regret, no matter how to look at, this countryside poor boy’s level is that what the level of the bullsh*t, the same as Xiang, “sleep you paralysis get up high” level, so that he drilled a hole, it is really a blunder!
As for the people in the lobby of the passenger station, they were not surprised that Zhu Pingan had come up with this couplet, what the shopkeeper had come up with was more like a recitation of an ancient poem than a couplet, and it was not even a little bit difficult.
A shopkeeper with no ink, let a poor boy from the countryside out of the couplet, it is very normal, these two people fighting strength is only five dregs.
Therefore, the people in the lobby who are concentrating on this, this is also just a laugh.
“Go in, go in, if you don’t mind the trouble, go in, you’ll still have to come out later anyway.”
The shopkeeper looked at Zhu Pingan with a look of disgust, thinking that Zhu Pingan was completely lucky to be able to match the couplet he came up with, probably having heard the poem somewhere in some poor countryside scholar. Gold will eventually shine, but dirt is dirt, this time is just this countryside poor boy fluke only, later when he entered the lobby, will certainly still grey out, people those who read poetry and books of the great men and so on can’t come out, you a countryside poor boy, can come out of the strange, the sun will not hit the west side of the rise!
“Please help me bring the horse to the backyard.” Zhu Pingan smiled faintly and handed the reins of the killer black horse to the shop boy.
“You might as well tie it outside the door, you’ll still have to leave later anyway, so save yourself the trouble.” The shop chap rolled his eyes and stood there without moving.
Zhu Pingan narrowed his eyes slightly at the shop chap, smiled faintly, and turned around to tie the horse to the prominent flagpole outside the inn.
“Ugh, why did you tie it where?” Seeing this, the shop fellow said with dissatisfaction.
“I’ll have to untie it later anyway.” Zhu Pingan smiled faintly, then walked straight into the inn.
Also. Anyway, you’ll have to untie it later, so count on your self-awareness! Although it’s an eyesore to be chained here, but it’s only for a little while, so forget about it over there. The shopkeeper thought about it, and then ignored the killer black horse tethered to the flagpole.
Zhu Pingan walked into the inn, the outside of the inn was exceptionally prosperous, while the inside was decorated in a poetic and picturesque manner, the lobby of the inn was exceptionally spacious. Inside the lobby is placed in the winter-resistant four seasons of greenery, green trees, fresh flowers, in the middle of a scaled-down version of the wigwam, a stream of clear water in the stone gap zigzagging down, just like a waterfall. Lobby tables and chairs placed with the wigwam greenery echoed, staggered, natural, the lobby and upstairs stairs are white stone for the railings, embracing the ladder edge, undulating as a stone bridge, the animal face of the spit.
Both poetic and picturesque. And elegant style.
This kind of inn in ancient times at least must also belong to the five-star bar, but also in the imperial city at the foot of the son of heaven, in this live a day a few also have to 1 two silver bar, plus three meals a day, uh, estimate a day down to small two silver bar, Zhu Pingan slightly smashed smacked his tongue.
There are about fifty to sixty people in the lobby, wearing are also very classy, or the texture is polite or the style is not vulgar, it seems to be full of sages and poems and books, talented people.
Zhu Pingan wore clothes washed white. There are also two holes broken, walking into the lobby, it looks very out of place.
“Alas, what is your name. I’ll register it.”
The inn shopkeeper followed Zhu Pingan into the lobby and shouted behind him. In fact, he did not want to register this person who was destined to hit the sauce at all, but the proprietor had a rule that anyone who came to pair couplets had to be registered, and the shop fellow did not dare to go against the proprietor’s rule, so he had no choice but to call out to Zhu Pingan from behind.
“My name is Ren Di. Ren as in Renyi, Di as in Rongdi.”
Zhu Pingan stopped in his tracks and glanced at the impatient shop fellow behind him, slightly hooking his lips and revealing a naive smile.
“Ren Di, what an earthy name.” The shop chap muttered and turned around to go to the counter to register the register.
Most of the people in the lobby felt pretty much the same way about the name Zhu Pingan said, I guess, but there were still some who heard something in Zhu Pingan’s voice and let out a string of low laughs as they looked at the shop chap’s figure registering the book.
“Heh heh heh, Wensheng, I bet this kid’s name isn’t Ren Di.” A notably dressed teenager pushed the teenager named Wensheng beside him and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Why?”
Wensheng asked casually, he was still pondering over the couplet he hadn’t got right and didn’t pay attention to this scene just now.
“This kid looks naive, but he’s actually absent-minded.” The teenager who was not dressed badly couldn’t help but smile back.
Wen Sheng, who was pondering over the couplet, heard this and looked at his partner with some confusion.
“Rendi, hehe, people are low is more like it, he’s satirising that shop chap for being dog-eyed. That shop chap was stupid enough to actually go and register, hahahahaha, it really kills me laughing,” the teenager in the not-so-uncommon dress covered his stomach and laughed non-stop.
The shopkeeper’s dog’s eye view of Rendi, heh heh heh, it seems that this teenager is not simple, interesting.
That teenager called Wen Sheng turned his gaze towards the plainly dressed teenager with a simple appearance in the lobby, pursing his lips slightly in interest.
There were also quite a few thoughtful people in the lobby who heard Zhu Pingan’s painted words and could not help but laugh as well.
The shop boy who was registering, hearing the laughter in the lobby, looked down with some confusion, thinking that it was the crowd laughing at the name of Zhu Ping An who was standing in the lobby, Rendi, what an earthy name, and then lowered his head to register seriously again.
However, laughing, most of the people in the lobby still have the same opinion of Zhu Pingan as they did just now, this young man is just a poor boy from the countryside, but only a few points of small smarts, there are smart children in the countryside, three years old can go down to the ground to pull grass, five years old will herd sheep, smart, lively mind, but that’s all, there is no great development.
For Zhu Pingan looked up six couplets hanging in the lobby of the behaviour, they feel that it is just a show, we can not come out, he can be a hair line ah, don’t joke. He just do a look, save later grey walk out too humiliating just.
Regardless of what the people in the inn think, Zhu Pingan walked through the lobby of the inn, then looked up at the couplets hanging in the lobby.
The couplets were written in vermilion on nearly two feet wide silk, hanging from the third floor to the ground floor, in vertical rows of running script, with the strokes breaking up, like running clouds and flowing water.
The first couplet had only seven words, which seemed simple, but a careful reading revealed a hidden mystery:
“Quiet spring on the mountain.”
