Xu Miaojin seemed to be able to see Hu Changan's annoyed expression after being rejected!
However, the scene Xu Miaojin expected did not appear.
Hu Changan smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "Miss Xu, I naturally have more than one copy of this couplet. Since you don't like this one, just change it."
What?
And the second line?
Xu Miaojin was completely shocked.
What kind of genius is this Mr. Hu!
For such a difficult second line, he could not only come up with one, but several more?!
This simply overturned Xu Miaojin's three views.
Xu Miaojin was completely confused: "Master Hu, are you sure you can think of another second line?"
"The second line you come up with this time can't be the same as last time."
"And the second couplet must have the same artistic conception as the first couplet."
"Master Hu, can you do it?"
"Are you trying to trick me?"
Hu Changan smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's no problem. I've already figured out the new second line."
"I'm right about the second line, the peach blossoms burn along the Jinjiang embankment!"
This time, Xu Miaojin was even more confused.
I didn’t expect that Hu Changan could really stand up to him!
This is simply incredible!
And this couplet is obviously more clever than the previous couplet written by Hu Changan!
The Pao Zhenhaicheng Tower that Hu Changan just unveiled is actually slightly flawed.
After all, from the perspective of artistic conception and harmony, this second line is still slightly different from the first line.
But Hu Changan's current project "Peach Burning Jinjiang Embankment" actually made up for all these flaws!
In terms of artistic conception, the first couplet describes the static scene of the pond, while the second couplet also describes the static scene of the river embankment.
It is also a description of the waterside scenery, and it is also a description of the static scenery. The artistic conception of the upper and lower couplets achieves perfect unity.
Moreover, in terms of meter, this second couplet completely echoes the first couplet, and there is no problem of unevenness at all.
At this time, Xu Miaojin was completely confused.
She was really just nitpicking!
Unexpectedly, Hu Changan actually followed her instructions and picked out all the bones in the eggs!
At this moment, Hu Changan smiled slightly at Xu Miaojin again and said: "Miss Xu, I wonder if you have noticed that my second couplet, together with the first couplet, form the meaning of the five elements mutually reinforcing each other."
What?
No way!
Just this little couplet, how can you still play like this?
At this time, Xu Miaojin was completely stunned.
But when Xu Miaojin thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The upper couplet is filled with smoke locking willows in the pond, and the lower couplet is filled with peaches burning the Jinjiang embankment.
The first character in the first couplet is "smoke", which is next to the character for fire.
The first character in the second line is "peach", next to the character wood.
Wood generates fire, this is mutual generation.
The second character of the first line is next to the word gold, and the second character of the second line is next to the word fire.
Fire overcomes metal, this is a mutual conflict.
All the words in the following couplets follow the principle of mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint.
This second line is truly remarkable!
Xu Miaojin's eyes widened, almost completely unable to believe that someone in the world could come up with such an exquisite couplet.
But facts speak louder than words.
Even if Xu Miaojin couldn't believe it, the fact was right in front of her.
What she came up with is absolutely amazing. Not only can some people be able to do it, but there are also people who can do it so well!
At this time, Xu Miaojin was completely convinced and had nothing to say: "Master Hu, I admit defeat. You really got this couplet right."
With that said, Xu Miaojin ordered the boy to get the land deed and prepare to rent the shop to Hu Changan on the spot.
But at this time, Hu Changan pressed Xu Miaojin's hand and said softly: "Girl, I wonder if there is something hidden in this shop?"
"It seems to me that you are not willing to rent out this shop."
Originally, Xu Miaojin didn't want to tell Hu Changan about this matter.
But looking at Hu Changan's sincere eyes, Xu Miaojin hesitated.
Maybe this person really wants to listen to his own voice?
After much hesitation, Xu Miaojin finally told Hu Changan the whole story: "Mr. Hu, although this shop belongs to the Xu family, it is the only property left to me by my biological mother."
"As long as I see this shop, I will think of my deceased mother."
"So after all these years, I still can't bear to rent out this shop."
"I set up this couplet just to rent out this shop later."
"But after all, my skills are inferior to others."
"Master Hu, this shop will be yours from now on."
Although Xu Miaojin's words were a little sad, they were also generous.
If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to argue with.
Originally, it was unfair for Xu Miaojin to set this rule because he was the boss.
Now that Hu Changan was facing her, she couldn't say anything and could only admit defeat on the spot.
But Hu Changan interrupted Xu Miaojin: "Miss Xu, why do you have to keep this shop as it is?"
"In my opinion, your mother gave you this shop just so that you could rent it out and supplement your living expenses."
"Now that you keep this shop in your hands and don't rent it out, aren't you betraying your mother's wishes?"
"The annual rent for a shop in such a prime location starts at least ten thousand taels."
"If you, girl, have such a large sum of money, what will you do in the future?"
Hu Changan's words were also very sincere.
Compared with the ancients, Hu Changan is more open-minded.
In his opinion, only living well is the greatest respect for the deceased.
After hearing this, Xu Miaojin also sighed deeply.
After all, it is the authorities who confuse the spectators.
For so many years, she has been guarding the property given to her by her mother, and she is obsessed with it.
No matter how long she guarded the small yard, her mother would never come back alive to talk to her.
Maybe renting out the yard is a better option.
Looking at Xu Miaojin's melancholy face, Hu Changan finally couldn't bear it and couldn't help asking: "I wonder what the name of Miss Xu's mother is?"
Hearing this, Xu Miaojin was stunned.
She didn't expect that Mr. Hu would ask her mother's name?
"My mother's name is Feng Yaoguang."
After saying the words, Xu Miaojin also sighed slightly.
In many years, this was the first time she mentioned her mother's name after her death.
You know, the status of women in ancient times can be said to be very humble.
In history books, women in ancient times only had surnames and no names.
Even Empress Ma, who was the beloved of the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, was only named Ma in later records.
Queen Ma's life has long been lost in the long river of history.
As a mere concubine of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, Feng Yaoguang naturally had no right to write her name in the book.
So after so many years, only her biological daughter can remember her name.
