After Zhu Pingan finished his couplet, the entire inn was silent.
The inn’s six couplets have been hanging out for two days, today is the third day, the best record of previous couplets is just three couplets, and it is because of this that a lot of literati have been attracted to come and try one after another.
The people in the hall were thinking hard, trying to come up with three or four couplets to make a big splash.
However, in the blink of an eye, the record had already been set, and it had almost reached its peak: six couplets, all in one go, answered each other correctly; the first of which, in one breath, said seven couplets!
Only, the crowd couldn’t connect that poor country boy with the person who set this record no matter what!
In the crowd’s mind, the person who set this record must be well-mannered and elegant, but this is good, this young man in front of him has dark skin, unattractive appearance, shabby clothes, forgetting the righteousness of profit, and just now when he ate, he looked as if he hadn’t eaten in his eight lifetimes, so he was too unprofitable.
This picture style difference is also too big.
For a while, the crowd had difficulty accepting it and were surprised on the spot.
Of course, there are exceptions, for example, this is not there are two teenagers dressed in not vulgar, joined together, came to the table in front of Zhu Pingan, walking in the head is a dressed in not vulgar teenagers, slightly behind half a step is the name of the teenagers Wen Sheng. The two are almost twenty just out of age, to our modern times is just graduated from university, looks still some green appearance.
“In my Puzhou Zhang Siwei, this is Suzhou Wang Shizhen, dare to ask this little brother how to call?”
The young man who spoke called himself Zhang Siwei, wearing ink-coloured satin robe, inside the robe reveals the silver openwork hibiscus flower inlays, a head of black lush hair was warm goat fat jade hairpin bundled up, the features of a handsome handsome one, looks a little sl*tty and unrestrained, but eyes inadvertently flowed out of the essence of the light let a person dare not underestimate.
The young man named Wang Shizhen beside him is also a talented man, with snow-white robes. Dusty, as if it is a modest gentleman who comes out of a book of poetry and ink scrolls. From the looks of it, he gave off the impression of being a good student who followed the rules and regulations.
When these two people walked over. Zhu Pingan did not feel anything. However, after hearing what this one called Zhang Siwei said, Zhu Pingan’s entire being failed.
Zhang Siwei!
Wang Shizhen!
Can not be surprised, this is their own in addition to Zhao Wenhua, met the second, three history of the famous name of the person. And these two people are no less than Zhao Wenhua.
Zhang Siwei, this person has done the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, in history, Zhang Juzheng hung up after this goods on the stage. Although this goods on the stage on the Zhang Juzheng all the policy all threw a clean, but, after all, people are also did the first minister. Zhu Pingan had previously summarised Zhang Siwei as a fusion of Sima Yi and Goujian, an upgraded version!
Zhang Siwei next to the person called Wang Shizhen, although the official position is not high, but more famous than Zhang Siwei, Lanling Xiaosheng know. It is the pen name of this bast*rd. However, Zhu Pingan in looking at Wang Shizhen so a standard good student look, really can not put this goods and that Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng associated, this Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng is the world’s “first book” “Golden Bottle x” author. I really don’t know what happened to make such a defender of the people wrote such a strange book.
Of course, in history, there is no clear evidence that Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng is Wang Shizhen, there is controversy. However, who let himself happen to be in the period of the birth of this strange book, just to help the future generations to determine.
A time. In Zhu Pingan’s heart, countless thoughts came and went.
“Ahem, this little brother?” Seeing that Zhu Pingan did not respond, Wang Shizhen could not help but cough and ask.
“Oh. I am here, Zhu Pingan of the Lower River. I’ve never seen two people of this calibre before, so I was in a bit of a trance for a while, so I’m sorry.”
Zhu Pingan arched his hand and explained in an unhurried manner.
“What are we grandiose about, just now, Brother Zhu had a mouthful of words. Answering the questions fluently, that is true grandeur. Not afraid of Brother Zhu’s jokes, I only matched two pairs.” Zhang Siwei smiled and shook his head.
“I only managed three pairs of couplets as well.” Wang Shizhen also shook his head with a bitter smile.
“I was also just a fluke.” Zhu Pingan smiled faintly, then reached out to invite both Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen to sit down, then he poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of them.
“Brother Zhu don’t be modest.” Zhang Siwei sat down and lifted his cup of tea, “A fluke but you can’t pair such six couplets.”
“Especially the third pair of couplets, Lonely and cold window, empty widowhood; far and near the road to get away. I’ve been thinking hard about this couplet for a long time, but I only have an idea. Brother Zhu came up with the next couplet off the top of his head, it really puts me to shame.”
Wang Shizhen shook his head and laughed bitterly.
Wang Shizhen literature is not generally good, Wang Shizhen was born in the Taicang Wang Clan, which is known for its clothes, poetry and books. Wang’s family is the Wei Jin and North and South Dynasties period of generations of hairpin Langya Wang’s remaining lineage, Tang and Song dynasty Wang’s family had long settled in Tonglu, Zhejiang, Tang has assassin qu qu Feng, the five generations of Nga pushed Ren Hao, Song has the Secretary Jian Jin, the world’s nobility. Born in such a family of official Wang Shizhen, when he was a young boy, he was subject to good family education, parents for the appointment of the scholarly, learned Wang material, Luo Jujing two teachers for the teaching, so that its academic excellence, sharp mind, among his friends, when it comes to literature, literary, but it is one of the best.
Literature, literary talent is so powerful, Wang Shizhen only out of three couplets. However, Zhu Ping’an was able to match all six couplets with his own mouth.
Therefore, when Wang Shizhen heard Zhu Pingan say that it was a fluke, he laughed bitterly.
The three of them sat at the same table, drinking tea and chatting, and before they knew it, Zhu Pingan got acquainted with the two of them, and then they exchanged epithets. Zhang Siwei, son Ziwei; Wang Shizhen, son Yuanmei, there is a nickname Wensheng, is because when he was a child to draw lots when he grabbed a book to hold and not let go, his family gave him the nickname Wensheng. Of course, Zhu Pingan also told them his own cousin’s name, Zi Hou.
Chatting, I learnt that Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were the same age, but Wang Shizhen was born a month earlier, and the two had known each other for a long time, and the two had been successful three years ago, and this time they came to the capital together to participate in the Enke examination.
When they learnt that Zhu Pingan also came to take part in the Enke examination, their expressions could be described as very wonderful.
“Zi Hou, it can truly be said that the younger generation is fearful.”
They chatted and learnt that Zhu Pingan was just over fourteen years old this year, only fourteen years old, he came to take part in the examination, even though he borrowed the light of the Enke, but he could pass the child test and the township test at this age is also a phoenix feather. Even if they are as talented as they are, they have to say that the younger generation is fearful!
