"When an iron rod lights a stove, it is difficult to distinguish between metal, wood, water, fire, and earth." Xu Zhen repeated, "It doesn't feel very complicated!"
Wen Wenxin smiled and shook his head: "Cousin, don't underestimate this pairing. The iron rod lights the stove. It only uses four words to cover all the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. It has both rhymes and meanings, and the word 'zao'
Composed of fire and earth, it is indeed an absolute!"
"Hey," Gao He agreed naively, "If you use an iron stick to light the stove, how can you possibly light it? This is called not distinguishing between metal, wood, water, fire and earth!"
Seeing Xu Zhen's unresponsiveness, Qi Wenxin just thought that it was impossible for him to be right, so he smiled faintly and said in Xu Zhen's ear: "Okay, cousin, it's just a joke. I agree to your business."
"Oh? My second cousin is the best to me!" Xu Zhen was moved at first, and then thought about it, "But... metal, wood, water, fire and earth, wouldn't it be a combination of five words?"
"My husband thinks so too," Gao He continued, "Like five grains, five internal organs, five colors and five flavors, he has tried them all, but they still don't match!"
"Really?" Xu Zhen rolled his eyes, snapped his fingers and said, "I do have a second line, I wonder if it matches?"
"Haha..." Chen Wenxin pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Okay, cousin, they all say it's a joke, don't take it seriously."
Whether it is Wen Wenxin or Gao He, it is naturally impossible to think that a crude person like Xu Zhen can face the couplet, and it is such a difficult task.
"Then I'll use my five senses to check it out!" Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen thought about it and came up with a second line, "I'll give it to you: 'Shield tweezers, you can't tell the difference between eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and tongue.'"
After seeing his cousin off, Xu Zhen returned to the Yamen to resume his duties.
"Oops! Oops..." He Wen's heart suddenly trembled, and then his eyes lit up. He repeated and analyzed, and finally he sincerely praised, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Why didn't I figure it out?"
But after dinner, Xu Zhen took a hoe and went to the ancestral hall in the backyard to get busy.
impossible?
Searching the memory, I couldn't find any clues. It seems that Xu Zhen's parents are quite shy about the origin of their ancestors and have never mentioned it to Xu Zhen. They don't even know who their grandparents are.
Xu Zhen was helpless. Regardless of whether it was an illegitimate house or not, such a distant matter had nothing to do with him.
"Oh?" He Wenxin didn't expect Xu Zhen to be able to confront him. After feeling it for a while, he asked, "Which one? Which one?"
…
"Oh...Okay, okay..." Qi Wenxin nodded blankly...
Okay, it doesn't matter.
Xu Zhen wondered what was going on when there was an ancestral home but no ancestors?
Could it be...
"Oh...oh...ok...ok..." He Wen gradually became confused. He had never seen such a shameless cousin.
"哓 means cutting the nose," Xu Zhen explained, "咶咶咶 means tongue or licking the tongue.
"How about it," Xu Zhen said again, "Now, what we have agreed upon is settled!"
He originally wanted to buy a piece of cloth for Youmeng to make clothes, but it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it. It seemed that he could only wait until the case in front of him was solved before thinking about how to improve his living conditions!
After returning home, everything went as usual. I ate and chatted with my gentle and virtuous little daughter-in-law, and occasionally had a little talk, which made my little daughter-in-law's face always blush.
In the end, Xu Zhen sent her second cousin to her door before leaving.
Xu Zhen couldn't help but wonder, did his so-called ancestor who was a high official marry a mistress here, so the ancestral hall could not worship him?
Tsk tsk...
What surprised Xu Zhen was that there were only two tablets on the altar table in the ancestral hall, one for Xu Zhen's father and one for Xu Zhen's mother. There were no other ancestors of the Xu family, not even his grandparents.
As the saying goes, live in the present, let’s live the present well!
Xu Zhen used the little money she had to buy some fresh fruits for her daughter-in-law Youmeng.
After digging until late at night, a pit more than two meters deep was dug.
"How's it going, second cousin..." Xu Zhen said proudly, "Don't admire me too much, I'll be proud! If you encounter any poems, songs, or pairs in the future, just ask me for advice!
"We are so strong, I promise to give everything to you without reservation!"
Unexpectedly, neither the leader Cheng Xiao nor Shen Yu and Fu Bin who were in his team came back.
His uncle Qi Lin was working in the county jail dozens of miles away. With only his aunt at home, it was naturally inconvenient for Xu Zhen to go in and visit.
He Wenxin couldn't figure out how on earth his illiterate cousin could meet such an absolute person.
Just talking about those rare words, even many students who have read poetry and books may not necessarily recognize them, right?
"Shield tweezers are just using dull tweezers to cut off someone's tongue. They don't care about eyes, ears, nose, mouth and tongue at all!"
There happened to be such a word-for-word couplet in that novel. Fortunately, I have a good memory.
Since the arrester had not yet arrived, the arresters dispersed on their own.
I guess they are all still busy with their own things, right?
it's wired.
Xu Zhen felt uncertain again. He didn't know what Huniu Shen Yu would do under his deception.
But...it seems that if Shen Yu really gets into trouble, it won't be a bad thing...
Why?
Xu Zhen thought that although he was a police detective in his previous life, he had a good grasp of poetry and poetry. If he was no longer a police officer in the future, would he be able to make a living by copying poetry?
For example, the phrase "the subtle fragrance floats on the moon at dusk" can make beautiful women rush to play poker with you? How many decks of poker cards do you need to prepare?
Therefore, after meeting, there is always only one topic, which is to ask Xu Zhen to sell his ancestral home as soon as possible, and in addition to paying off the gambling debt, give the remaining subsidies to their family in return...
The ancestral hall is located at the innermost side of the house. Due to lack of money for repairs, the roof leaks and the windows leak. Usually, Xu Zhen and his wife only come here on special days.
Xu Zhen said in his heart. In fact, I didn't expect that a certain time-travel novel I had read before would come in handy today.
Is this an illegitimate house?
So, Xu Zhen first found a location, then pried open the floor tiles of his ancestral home, and then started digging...
What if we say "you don't know the sky is water when you are drunk"? I don't know if there is a princess in the Daxuan Dynasty?
Xu Zhen was thinking wildly, but she didn't know Xu Zhen's true identity. After she realized this wonderful couplet, she looked at Xu Zhen as if she were looking at a monster.
My aunt is an ordinary person, so she naturally thinks that Xu Zhen, a nephew who has inherited a huge debt, is the biggest burden on their family.
Unexpectedly, the little daughter-in-law had a dream and couldn't find Xu Zhen for a long time, so she found this place after looking for the sound.
After seeing the deep pit dug by Xu Zhen, Youmeng was greatly puzzled: "Master, what are you doing?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay," Xu Zhen explained with a smile, "Didn't we already decide to sell the house? I'm afraid there is some hidden treasure in the house, so I'll dig around and take a look, haha..."
