As Father Wang’s voice fell, Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat.
Fuck！
How did this old eunuch know the peerless absolute in the secular world？
That was his trump card！
Originally, he wanted to keep this peerless absolute until the end to give those competitors a head-on blow. Unexpectedly, it actually came out of the mouth of Father Wang, this old dog.
Damn it, how did he think of it？
There was an exclamation all around.
”This upper couplet is too wonderful.”
”I don’t believe that Ye Changsheng can still come up with a response.”
“Eunuch Wang is truly a great talent. He is no wonder he is the top scholar of the Great Wei. We all admire him very much.” ”
“……”
Kong Tianxia frowned and said, “Although I have read many books, ‘Smoke Locking the willows by the pond’ can be regarded as absolute. The upper couplet consists of five characters, each with a five-character radical, and the artistic conception is very wonderful.”
“Smoke locks the pond willow. Structurally speaking, these five characters use the five elements as radicals: metal, wood, water, fire and earth.” ”
Moreover, the upper couplet also depicts a quiet pond, surrounded by green trees and is filled with smoke with a strong sense of picture.”
“This first line of the couplet seems simple and right. actually very difficult. It is no exaggeration to say that it can be called the most difficult in the world.”
Hearing this, Wei Wuxin, Qin Jiang and others all burst into laughter.
As for the Great Zhou Emperor, his heart was raised to his throat, nervously looking at Ye Qiu and regretting it in his heart.
If only he had known earlier, he should have stopped them from matching couplets.
“Changsheng, you have to come on. If you can’t match it, then I’m going to have a headache.”
Ning’an, who was sitting next to the Great Zhou Emperor, frowned and thought. After a while, she suddenly said.
“I thought of the second line of the couplet.”
“Mirror contains the fiery trees on the embankment！”
“Wonderful！” Kong Tianxia said： “The first line describes the scene of the misty pond, and the second line describes the beautiful scenery reflected in the water of the pond. The tones are opposite, and the five elements are misaligned. It’s very wonderful.”
Wei Wuxin flattered and said, Princess Ning’an truly deserves the number one talented woman in Great Zhou. She is quick-witted and I admire her.
Qin Jiang also said, “Princess Ning’an is not only beautiful as a flower, but also her talent is superhuman. She can be called the number one talented woman in Zhongzhou.”
Zhuge Chaoyang shouted, “Junior sister is so powerful！”
“Huh, I also thought of a second line.” Kong Tianxia suddenly said, “The lamp extinguishes on the Jiangba Bridge. Eunuch Wang, what do you think？”
Eunuch Wang said, “Young Master Kong’s second line and the first line have a unified artistic conception. The fog rises and the lamp goes out. The Jiangba is opposite to the pond, and the order of the five elements is the same. It’s not bad.”
“However, compared with the second lines of Young Master Kong and Princess Ning’an, I still feel that there is something missing. It feels like this is not a perfect second line.”
“Besides, even if your second lines are okay, they are also thought up by you and have nothing to do with Ye Changsheng.”
“Ye Changsheng, the first line has been given, you give the second line！”
“As long as you can give it, I will admit defeat in this round.”
Eunuch Wang looked at Ye Qiu triumphantly, as if to say, I finally came up with an absolute. If you can give the second line, I will go and eat shit.”
“Ye Changsheng, as long as you can give it, I will also admit defeat.” Wei Wuxin said.
Qin Jiang said, “I’m the same as Brother Wei.”
The others spoke one after another, all expressing that as long as Ye Qiu could give the second line, they would admit defeat.
Ye Qiu sneered.
Damn it, still want to make things difficult for me？
Don’t you even look at who I am？
I’m a descendant of the dragon！
How could I be scared by a couplet.
”Want to hear the second line of the couplet, right? Okay, I’ll give it now.” Ye Qiu blurted out： “The flames melt the sea dike and the maple.”
“Wonderful!” Kong Tianxia said in surprise: “The smoke locks the willows by the pond, and the flames melt the maple on the sea dike. The five elements of the upper and lower couplets are opposite, and the tones are opposite. The upper couplet writes about the implicit of the spring scenery and the lower couplet expresses the enthusiasm of the autumn scenery. It’s very wonderful.
Eunuch Wang’s expression changed drastically, and he pointed at Ye Qiu： “You… you…”
“Do you want to say, how could I come up with it? Ye Qiu said disdainfully said ly: “You think it’s an absolute couplet through the ages, but in fact it’s vulnerable.”
”Besides the just-mentioned second line of the couplet, I also thought of several other second lines of the couplet. Listen carefully.”
”The smoke locks the willows by the pond, and the river mirrors the autumn of the wild village.”
”The smoke locks the willows by the pond, and the flames inlay the maple in the ravine.”
”The smoke locks the willows by the pond, and the maple roasts the brocade waves on the embankment.”
”The smoke locks the willows by the pond, and the flames inlay the maple in the marshland.”
“……”
Every time Ye Qiu read a sentence, Eunuch Wang’s face would become paler, and as for Wei Wuxin and Qin Jiang and others, their faces became darker and darker.
We didn’t think of a single second line of the couplet. How could he say so many all of a sudden？
Is this still a human？
So perverted！
”However, although the previous couplets were paired, I don’t think they are the most perfect ones.” Ye Qiu looked at the pale-faced Duke Wang and said, “I still have a couplet here, which can be called perfect.”
”You listen carefully.”
”Smoke locks the pond willow, peach burns the Jinjiang embankment.”
Boom！
When Duke Wang heard the couplet, his mind almost exploded. He looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief, his whole body trembling.
”How on earth did he come up with such a wonderful couplet？”
Pop！
Kong Tianxia slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up suddenly, and said, “Wonderful, wonderful！”
”The rhythm and artistic conception are all paired, and it also reveals the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. This is the absolute that cannot be replaced.”
”So wonderful.”
”Brother Ye, how did you come up with it？” Kong Tianxia looked at Ye Qiu with adoration on his face.
I didn’t think of it, I copied it.
Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t think much about it. It was just a flash of inspiration in my mind, and the couplet came out.”
”So powerful, Brother Ye is so talented… No, Brother Ye is a genius. Please accept my bow.” After Kong Tianxia finished speaking, he bowed ninety degrees.
The Great Zhou Emperor and Ning’an sat on the dragon chair and looked at each other and smiled.
As for the others, at this moment, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.
Lost！ Damn it, lost again！
Ye Changsheng, are you here to restrain us on purpose？
The most fatal thing is that there was a bet before the competition. If they lost this round they would have to slap themselves three times.
These people are either princes or heirs of aristocratic families, and each of them has a noble status. If they were to slap themselves in the face in front of the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou, it would really be…
Embarrassing！
”What should we do？”
”I don’t want to lose face！”
”If only we hadn’t bet with Ye Changsheng earlier.”
”It’s all because of Eunuch Wang. If it weren’t for this old eunuch’s self-confidence, how could we be in such a situation？”
”That old eunuch is really a bastard…”
One after another, the curses entered his ears, and Eunuch Wang was so angry that his blood boiled.
Damn it, you guys bet on your own, but now that you lost, you blame it on me. Do you still have any shame？
”Eunuch Wang, I’ll give you an upper couplet. If you can come up with the lower couplet, then you don’t have to slap yourself in the face.”
”At the same time, I can also promise that I will withdraw from the competition for the Great Zhou’s son-in-law.”
“Listen carefully, my upper couplet is – Lonely empty widow!”
Eunuch Wang silently read it twice in his heart, and suddenly –
”Pfft！”
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Eunuch Wang’s mouth. Immediately afterwards, his eyelids turned over, and his body fell to the ground with a loud crash.
