After building this site, Cui family in Qinghe stood on the side of Yang Xuangan and Li Mi.
However, there are children from the Zheng family who are Li Shimin and Li Xuanba’s confidants (Li Zhiyun: They all say they are my confidants!), while the Cui family in Qinghe is actively operating, hoping to make their own children rely on each other and make contributions. So they don’t need to panic just based on the survival of the family.
But the key is still the problem. The big family has survived, but what about the small family?
Li Xuanba finally announced the start of the literary meeting and took everyone to the wax plum forest. The guests took a sip of tea nervously, and the show finally came on stage.
“Poetry, songs and essays all pay attention to a pair of pairs. I suddenly had a whim and got inspiration from the “Tao Fu” from the Qin and Han Dynasties. If the pairings were posted on both sides of the door, it seemed to be an elegant thing. I called this “couplets, couplets, couplets.” Li Xuanba smiled and said, “The New Year is coming soon, and I will send some things to the dukes in the court. The couplets you wrote today, and the couplets you made today are given to the dukes of different grades according to the third grade of A, B, and C; the first one is set above the A, and I will give them to the King of Chu.”
“Couplets” have existed in ancient times. The prototype of “couplets” was formed during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The earliest record of couplets was in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, so there is no such way to play.
Poems and songs are too long, and you need to pay attention to the overall artistic conception, so it is very troublesome to select. There are only two sentences for couplets, and the usage of “dual” can just show your literary talent. Since “dual pair” can become a must-have item for banquets of later literati, it should also meet the preferences of literati in the Tang Dynasty.
The way to play “couple” was originally aroused in the Tang Dynasty.
Ordinary banquets are items that can exercise and recite poems, such as drinking or throwing pots. Li Xuanba originally wanted to do this, but the weather was too cold and he didn’t want to move. He drank three more drinks, so he simply made a couplet and riddle.
He put out the first couplet or a scene or artistic conception to let the guests make a match.
The guests hadn’t seen this game before, and they immediately became interested. After all, they are all young people, and they are fun and have less anxiety.
Li Xuanba just said that at the beginning, they rushed to the wax plum trees like wild animals out of the cage to find the “question”.
The scholars who attended the meeting were very confident in their talents and had to touch every difficult problem. Li Xuanba looked at the gradually thickening couplet “Answer” and suddenly felt a headache and hurried to find off-site aid.
Yu Shinan and Xue Daoheng happened to have nothing to do, so they came to help with a smile.
They pretended that they appeared was a part of the literary meeting, but they gave the guests a surprise because of the late official service.
Yu Shinan and Xue Daoheng were both “literary masters” in the Sui Dynasty, especially Xue Daoheng, who was recognized as the number one poet of the Sui Dynasty.
As soon as they arrived, the scholars not only had cold sweats on their heads, but also had a urge to urinate, and they all took turns to run to the toilet.
Yu Shinan and Xue Daoheng couldn’t help but show disgust.
People have three urgent needs, but they don’t care about young men going to the toilet halfway. But why did everyone take turns to go to the bathroom when they arrived? ! Are they that scary? ! These scholars have a bad attitude!
The scholars also looked bitter and thought they had poor ability to bear pressure.
After the literary meeting, the scholars went home and faced the questions from their elders, all with bitter expressions.
I can’t compare with my elegance, wealth and honor, and I won’t mention my talent. His Highness, King of Jin, originally wanted to give them a surprise, so he asked Duke Yu and Duke Xue to come to be judges, but they were so nervous that they ran to the toilet.
Show His Highness the talent and temperament of aristocratic families to His Highness, so that His Highness the King of Jin knows that this court is not good without their children from such a great family? Their personal qualities are far superior to others?
They completely broke the defense.
“Do you know that His Highness, King of Jin, is as beautiful as a banished immortal. God has sent him snow and plums?!”
“Do you know how many ways to drink tea and how many ways to cook milk tea?!”
