A smile appeared on Li Shimin's face. He originally thought that Taihe Academy would be restrained because of his arrival, but he didn't expect that Taihe Academy would be shameless and even proposed something as unorthodox as a comparison of pairs.
Originally, he thought Lin Xuan would lose. After all, even he had no idea about the first couplet. Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan got it right so quickly.
Winning the first game was a slap in the face of the family, how could Li Shimin not be happy?
Li Shimin was happy, but the situation at Taihe Academy was different, with each face looking uglier than the last.
Lin Xuan felt a little unhappy after hearing Lu Qian's words, "You are a person who has never been recorded in history. How can you pretend to be? You can barely count me as the winner. This is the most appropriate second line recognized by the Internet for future generations. Are you telling me that you are reluctant?"
"Why do you think I can barely compete?" Lin Xuan's stubborn temper rose.
"Yes, old man, I'm right. Whether it's the meaning or the artistic conception, it's all perfect. Why do you say that you can barely count others as the winner?"
Cheng Yaojin was just watching the excitement and didn't take it too seriously. If he didn't say something, he would be sorry for his nickname of "Hob Meat".
Although he doesn't understand the couplets, there are people around him who do.
He heard everything Fang Xuanling and others talked about in low voices.
Lu Qian didn't care about Lin Xuan's attitude and said with a smile: "I have other ways of reading the first couplet. Different readings have different meanings and artistic conceptions. That's why I say that the second couplet of the Marquis barely matches the upper couplet.
I’m not saying this just to gain fame.”
Are there other ways to read it?
Everyone's expressions changed. Could it be that Lu Qian's first couplet was a strange couplet?
Why is it surprising?
It's just unexpected and hard to guess.
Everyone couldn't help but recall Lu Qian's first couplet again, and wanted to see if there was really another way to read it.
Lu Qian said happily: "If you follow the rules, you have already corrected what I read before. I have indeed lost, but the couplet must not only be neat and consistent with the artistic conception, but also fit in all other aspects. This first couplet of mine is more
It’s complicated and complicated. You’re still young, so it’s normal if you don’t see it.”
"Boy Lin, no matter if he is forced or not, winning is enough." Cheng Yaojin muttered in a low voice.
Although it was a whisper, the voice was not quiet at all and many people heard it.
Lin Xuan naturally knew that Cheng Yaojin was reminding him in this way.
To be honest, if Lin Xuan really couldn't cope with it, he would naturally not dwell on this issue.
But he also knows the various changes in the first couplet, and his second couplet can match the upper couplet no matter how it changes, so he is naturally not afraid.
If you want to win, you must convince the other party, otherwise if the news spreads, others will think that his victory is disgraceful.
Lin Xuan smiled at Cheng Yaojin, looked at Lu Qian and said, "What a coincidence, my second line also has other ways of reading it."
What!
Are there other ways to read Lin Xuan's second line?
Everyone looked at Lin Xuan, wanting to see if Lin Xuan was bluffing.
Lin Xuan had a faint smile on his face, he was very relaxed and calm, as if he was very confident, so that no one could tell whether it was true or not for a while.
Lu Qian said with great interest: "Master Hou, are you sure you want to continue the competition? There are more than one changes in my first couplet. If Master Hou cannot match up, there will be countless things that can be done if Master Hou wins by then."
"What a coincidence, there are many variations of my second line." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
When Lu Qian saw what Lin Xuan said, he didn't say anything more and said: "The tide of the sea rises and falls, and the tide rises and falls."
"Okay!" Some people couldn't help but cheer.
The pronunciation this time is different from last time. Although the meaning has not changed much, the artistic conception is completely different.
The words are still the same, but they are equivalent to another first couplet.
There are many people who were not interested in couplets before, but now they feel the charm of couplets, and some of them like them.
Everyone looked at Lin Xuan with gloating in their eyes.
Even if Lin Xuan's second line has other changes as he said, the second line exists because of the first line.
As long as Lin Xuan's second line cannot be changed into a second line that matches the current first line, Lin Xuan will still lose.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly and said: "The clouds rise, they rise, they rise, they rise and disappear."
What! Really right?
Everyone tasted it carefully and found that the second line was impeccable in both aspects.
Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, and did not continue to recite other readings. Instead, he mentally changed Lin Xuan's second couplet according to other changes in his first couplet. He found that no matter how he changed it, Lin Xuan's second couplet would still be correct.
After a long time, Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou, I am sitting in a well and looking at the sky. No matter how I change the first couplet, Master Hou's second couplet can always be right, and the artistic conception is also very consistent."
"Since I came up with this first couplet, I have also thought about the second couplet. However, although my second couplet can barely match it, it is a little lacking in artistic conception. I thought that this first couplet does not have a perfect second couplet. Today I just
I know I am arrogant."
After talking about it, Lu Qian felt a little unmotivated.
You can imagine how you feel when something you thought was unsolvable was suddenly solved.
Everyone was still waiting for Lu Qian's other changes, but who knew that Lu Qian would admit defeat just like that.
This made them all a little depressed.
It's like listening to a story and thinking it has the ending, but who knows that the author said there is more.
When people are interested, the author updated a chapter and suddenly stopped updating it. Is it possible to not make people depressed?
Lin Xuan was not as depressed as everyone else. There were more than a dozen changes in the first and second couplets, and these changes were available online in later generations. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan had seen them all, so no matter what changes Lu Qian said, his
He was able to match the second line, so he was not surprised at all when Lu Qian gave up.
"Being able to match the second couplet is not a big deal. If you are able, you can make the first couplet."
"That's right, it's just good luck."
On the Taihe Academy side, many people were not willing to lose like this and deliberately spoke out.
Although this seems like a bad loser, there are some reasons for what they said.
Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to write the first couplet than the second couplet.
After all, with the first couplet, you only need to think about the second couplet according to the artistic conception and the harmony of tones and tones.
The first couplet is much more imaginative, especially the more difficult first couplet.
Of course, this is not absolute, otherwise there would be no eternal absolute.
Lin Xuan could have ignored what these people said.
But these people came to him to cause trouble. It was obviously not Lin Xuan's character to ignore them. Lin Xuan was going to slap them in the face, hard.
"Since it's a competition, let's follow the rules. You pose the questions, and if I answer them correctly, I win. It's not in compliance with the rules. Well, let me make a first couplet. As long as someone answers correctly, I lose." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Lin Xuan was like giving them back what they just said.
Although the face was slapped hard, no one from Taihe Academy raised any objection.
They have so many academies and one academy, Boyuan Academy. If they lose in the first round, will they lose their face?
Although they are a little embarrassed now, they would rather be embarrassed here than be embarrassed if the news spreads.
