The sun gradually sets, and the gentle wind brings a bit of coolness.

"Everyone, can you answer this couplet? If you are right, and with the character of the owner of this room, if I go in, I might be able to ask for a meal. If not, then let's go back for the time being. I can wait.

I don’t want to spend the night outside the city.”

Lin Huairen looked at the sunset and felt that it was almost time. He patted his clothes and stood up to ask.

The talented people from Zhiyu County immediately looked at each other after hearing such words, and they all saw that each other's faces were not very good-looking.

"How about it? Do you have a second line?"

Sister Li Zhi glanced at the people on the side and then asked in a deep voice.

Several people looked at each other, then smiled bitterly and shook their heads. They came here in a hurry to see such absoluteness, and for a while they wanted to read the second line. It was really difficult.

"That's all, let's go back first."

Seeing this, Wang Dailing felt helpless. Sorry, they couldn't just stay here. If Fufeng City closed for a while, they would have to spend the night outside.

"It seems that the arrogance you had before is just arrogance now, and you still can't answer this couplet."

When Scholar Dai Guan saw a group of people preparing to go back, he immediately laughed, his voice full of pride.

"I saw you were so confident before, and I really thought you could handle this couplet, but now it seems like it's nothing more than that."

Seeing that the other party did not reply with this couplet, everyone looked at each other and laughed one after another. At this moment, they felt inexplicably much better.

It’s not their fault. Who made these people come here so proud that their nostrils were about to turn to the sky?

This kind of behavior can make them have countless resentments in their hearts.

Seeing them defeated at this moment, they naturally would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule them.

When Song Xunze heard this sarcasm, his face became a little confused.

He looked at the person in front of him, and then said with a cold face, "Aren't you also wrong? If you laugh at us like this, wouldn't it be a fifty step to laugh at a hundred steps?"

When Lin Huairen heard this, he immediately waved his hand, "No, this Lu Chensheng is a scholar from our Fufeng City. After all, he is also from our Fufeng City. The meaning is different. In the end, he is still my Fufeng City."

His talents are better than yours."

Song Xunze's face froze when he heard this. Previously, he only thought that as long as he made this connection, he could use this to make fun of everyone in Fufeng City.

Who would have thought that by going around and around, I would get myself involved instead.

Thinking of this, his face turned a little ugly.

"Humph, we just didn't confront each other right now. It won't be certain until tomorrow."

After saying that, Song Xunze turned around and took the people away without staying any longer.

Hearing this, Lin Huairen smiled and said loudly, "In this case, Lin will be waiting for Brother Song tomorrow!"

Wait?

Obviously just waiting to see a joke.

Song Xunze paused slightly, then strode away.

After Lin Huairen and the others looked at each other, they all smiled at each other and left together.

After all these people left, Chuwu slowly walked over and collected the tea sets one by one.

Watching the direction in which these scholars were leaving, Chu Wu shook his head slightly, not knowing how long these guys would be entangled here.

If you obviously can’t live up to this couplet, why can’t you give up?

Fortunately, the young master used this trick, otherwise, because these scholars are so stubborn, I am afraid that if the young master wins the competition once, he will do it again.

Chu Wu shook his head and turned around to go back.

...

Lu Chensheng ignored the talents that gradually appeared in Fufeng City, and still watered the vegetable fields and planted some peach trees every day.

The river water outside slowly rose a lot, and a ship gradually began to form a rough shape.

Small pavilions along the roadside have also begun to be built.

The small pavilion has been repaired, but more and more scholars are coming here, and each of them seems to be extremely unwilling to be able to write such a second line.

Every now and then, people would go to the small pavilion and look at this couplet.

Occasionally, I can see a few talented women who also come here to join in the fun.

In the palace, Emperor Jiang was still reviewing and approving the memorial, when his brows suddenly moved slightly.

What was placed in front of him was the folder presented by Lin Gu.

Seeing Lin Gu's name, Jiang Huang cheered up slightly.

Lin Gu was sent to control the floods by him, so the booklet he sent me must have something to do with it.

After reading the contents in the booklet one by one, Jiang Huang's face became more and more satisfied, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Okay! Okay!"

Jiang Huang looked at it for a moment, his face already full of smiles.

"Why is the emperor so happy?"

Seeing this, the personal eunuch asked with some confusion.

"Lin Gu is really an expert in water control. According to what he said, the Yunjiang River water has already achieved some preliminary results. Even if there are floods this year, I think it can be controlled to some extent."

Lin Gu was never very good at exaggerating, but Jiang Huang knew it very well.

So now that I saw the content in this booklet, my face was already full of smiles.

When the personal eunuch heard this, he quickly shouted, "Thanks to the emperor's good training and good use of talents, this flood can be quelled!"

After Jiang Huang heard this, he looked at the eunuch beside him with a look that didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are really good at talking."

After saying this, he shook his head and put the fold aside. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

"By the way, how is that Lu Chensheng from Fufeng City?"

He almost forgot about Lu Chensheng when he was busy with everything on weekdays. Now after seeing Lin Gu's book, he remembered Lu Chensheng.

After all, the last time Lin Gu met in person, Lu Chensheng was mentioned in passing.

Lin Gu didn't mention Lu Chensheng this time, but that didn't stop Jiang Huang from suddenly thinking of Lu Chensheng.

"I heard that he is still staying in Taohuawu outside Fufeng City."

After hearing this, the leading eunuch on the side quickly came out and whispered back.

Jiang Huang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Why, if there are no scholars and talents, how can we go to Lu Chensheng to compete?"

"Yes, there are, but they are all blocked."

The leading eunuch quickly explained the news he had received to Emperor Jiang in detail.

After Jiang Huang heard this, his mouth suddenly opened slightly.

After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the person below him, "You mean, no one has answered this couplet so far?"

"Yes, according to the information I got, this couplet is still standing outside Taohuawu, and no one can match it."

It’s not just that no one can get it right now, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to get it right in the future.
