Seeing Ximen Qing raise his palm, he was about to strike it straight at Shui Xiucai's head. How powerful was his palm? With this blow, the skinny Shui Xiucai was probably going to die on the spot!
Daian, the personal servant who came with Ximen Qing to get married, saw that the situation was not good and wanted to stop Ximen Qing. Who among the people present had the ability to do this? In desperation, he shouted: "Miss Jiaoer!"
Ximen Qing's palm had already struck less than half an inch away from Shui Xiucai's head. Suddenly, when he heard Daian's shout, his mind was shaken, and his palm couldn't help but stop in the air.
The family members who followed Ximen Qing just woke up from a dream. They knew that I have always been a heavy-handed person. If I kill this talented scholar today, it will mean that the Ximen family has great wealth and will not be able to explain it to the official. So they rushed forward, holding hands.
Ximen Qing was wrapped up first by hugging his arms, hugging his legs, and hugging his waist.
Daian then knelt down and cried: "I came here to celebrate a happy event today. If I beat someone to death, wouldn't it turn a happy event into a disaster? If you enter the prison room at that time, you will definitely not be able to get married, Jiao'er."
The girl is aware of it, and she watches helplessly as the wedding sedan is carried in empty and carried out empty, but it makes her feel so happy in her heart, how can you bear it?"
Inside and outside Lichun Courtyard, there were crowds of people watching the excitement. When they heard Da'an's words, they were all in a state of panic, and all the soft-hearted people shed tears.
Ximen Qing was even more heartbroken. He pointed at Shui Xiucai and cursed: "How many hardships did Jiao'er endure when she was alive? I didn't expect that even after her death, there would be such a villain to humiliate her! This is the thief's own crime.
How can I forgive you for finding a way to die?"
Daian suddenly jumped up, grabbed a pole in the corner, and shouted: "Such a disgusting person, if I beat him myself, I will dirty my hands carefully. Today, I am here to take my place, to take my place for Jiao'er."
Girl, vent your anger!" He said and jumped to Shui Xiucai's side, rounded the pole and smashed it.
While smashing, he thought: "Surnamed Shui, although I don't know how you annoyed my father, but if I let him hit you and kill you with just one slap, it would be better for me to hit you. Even if you
Your skin and flesh will suffer, but you can at least have a way to survive."
So Daian put more force on the shoulder pole and first took care of Shui Xiucai's head and face, beating him until his head was bruised and bleeding. After he looked miserable for twelve minutes, he started to say hello to the fleshy parts of his buttocks and legs. Shui Xiucai was beaten so hard that he "ouched"
"Screaming and rolling around on the ground, it's not much better than a pig about to be slaughtered.
The crowd of onlookers didn't know why Shui Xiucai was beaten at first, but after hearing the explanation from someone who understood how dirty and vicious the hidden meaning in the elegiac couplet was, they all started to make a noise, scolding Shui Xiucai for actually killing people.
I can't blame the Star Lord and the high official for being so angry for writing such an article on my head. He deserves to be beaten!
There are also some discerning people who are secretly surprised. You know that Ximen Qing has always been the biggest dandy in Qinghe County. How could he have the vision to find out the sinister flaws in the elegiac couplet? Is it because he usually hides it? Or is he resurrected from the underworld?
After that, what about Su Hui who opened up his previous life?
Shui Xiucai, who was beaten, wanted to beg for mercy. He also wanted to confess to Duke Ying and Li Waichuan to reduce his crime. However, Daian hit him in the mouth with the first carrying pole, causing his teeth to break and his tongue to break.
Could you speak? I could only scream and suffer.
Ximen Qing didn't speak, and Daian didn't dare to stop. When they were having another meal, they saw that Shui Xiucai was almost erect from being beaten. Although Gui Qing hated Shui Xiucai who wanted to kill people,
But when I thought about beating someone to death here, what would happen then? So I went straight to Ximen Qing and knelt down in front of him. When I wanted to say something, my face burst into tears and I couldn't speak. I had to stretch out my hand to the soul.
refer to.
Ximen Qing sighed and waved to Da'an: "Stay!" Da'an hurriedly threw away the pole. He was tired after fighting for such a long time.
Pointing at Shui Xiucai, who was wilting on the ground, Ximen Qing said bitterly: "Throw this guy out! Throw him far away!" Laiwang Laixing hurried forward, not knowing whether to call this bad luck or bad luck.
The lucky guy was thrown two streets away.
After Laiwang Laixing returned, Earl Ying and Li Waichuan sneaked over and took Shui Xiucai away.
In Lichun Courtyard, Ximen Qing had already picked up the elegiac couplet and tore it into pieces. At this time, the old madam listened to the instructions of the others and understood the deep meaning of the elegiac couplet.
I felt so regretful that I burst into tears - I just said I wanted to look good before my death, but I didn't expect that it would ruin the faces of all my fellow sisters all over the world!
Just as he was crying hard, he heard Ximen Qing shout again: "Bring me the Four Treasures of the Study!"
The old madam wiped her tears, leaned into Gui Qing's ear and asked, "What do you mean by one of the four treasures of the study? Since it is a treasure, do you know how much it is worth?"
Guiqing said bitterly: "The four treasures of the study are pen, ink, paper and inkstone! In the early years, you only asked Sister Jiaoer to learn poems, lyrics and songs, but when it was my turn, you didn't want me to learn it because it was too expensive! If I had learned a few more sentences, what would happen today?
How can you be so humiliated by eating water?"
Even though the old bustard was a man of strong words and eloquent words, he couldn't help but lower his head.
At this time, Daian brought up a few pieces of paper and a pen, which were all unsightly things that were found temporarily. Only then did Ximen Qing realize that he had spoken briefly, so he shook his head and said, "I want to write a picture for Jiaoer myself."
Elegiac couplets, these things are useless!"
The star master, the official, wants to write the elegiac couplet himself! The onlookers are all in high spirits. Ximen, the official, was very brave and fierce when he was a child. His boxing and sticks are famous in Qinghe County, but when it comes to literary talent, no one takes advantage of him.
As an ordinary dish - who would have thought that today, a senior official from Ximen would actually praise Haikou and say that he would write an elegiac couplet!
However, there are also many people who believe that Star Lord officials are capable of things that others cannot do. You know, the purpose of the "standardized contract" that many people spend a lot of money to auction for a merit pancake is not to have five merits in one hand.
Instead of cooking cakes, I took a fancy to the signatures signed by Master Ximen and Master Wu, as well as the two halves of Star Master's riding seal. Everyone believed that with this treasure in the house, evil spirits would be far away and ghosts would be hidden.
.Moreover, magicians who have been able to solve demons have already tested it. Using a standardized contract with the aura of the Star Lord to cast a spell, the effect is different and it is as effective as a god!
It's just a standardized contract that Master Ximen made unintentionally, but it has such a powerful magical effect. If he really writes one, no! Two elegiac couplets, how can it be paid off? I'm afraid the book will make the heaven and earth move, and the words will touch the ghosts and gods.
shock!
The owner of the paper shop volunteered to stand up and said: "Star Lord, the official, in the little man's shop, the four treasures of the study, everything is first-class, even the paper for writing the elegiac couplet, can also be folded and ready-made for the Star Lord, high official,
But I don’t know how many words should be used in an elegiac couplet for a high-ranking official of the Star Lord?”
It turns out that when writing couplets, the couplets have different folding methods depending on the length of the paper and the number of words written. The folded line acts as a frame similar to the manuscript paper, so that the written words will be regular, symmetrical and beautiful.
.
Ximen Qing silently calculated in his mind and said: "My couplet needs twenty-six words!"
"Okay!" the paper shop owner agreed. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Ximen Qing calling him.
Ximen Qing said solemnly: "My couplet has twenty-six characters each in the upper and lower couplets, which adds up to fifty-two characters. You should choose a longer piece of paper!"
When the paper shop owner heard this, he was so shocked that his tongue stretched out and could not be retracted. There were so many elegiac couplets written in Qinghe County. Except for the self-elegiac couplet written by Ximen Qingjie's wife Chen, no one else had ever done so.
Have you ever experienced such a huge masterpiece?
When the onlookers heard that Ximen Qing was going to write such a long elegiac couplet, they immediately became agitated. At that moment, many scholars and scholars came to the front one after another.
After a while, all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones arrived, and with the help of the good guy, he lifted out a large bed with a flat mirror surface, spread the paper on it with all hands and feet, and then stepped away far away.
Ximen Qing stepped forward, ran his fingers over the paper, and counted twenty-six folds. Then he nodded and grabbed the large row of pens next to him.
At this moment, there seemed to be countless past events passing through my mind, which seemed real, illusory, and crazy, but made my heart feel sour, my ribs felt swollen, and my eyes felt dry.
Ximen Qing closed his eyes tightly and shook his head, temporarily putting aside his grief. He took a deep breath, stretched out his pen and dipped it in ink. He lowered his elbows and hung his wrists, and the word "I" appeared on the paper. All the scribes in the front row opened their eyes.
When I looked at it with wide eyes, I saw that the official Ximen was writing in Liu style, which is known as "the heart is straight and the pen is straight".
The twenty-six words had been written without adding any points, and they were held high in front of the soul. When everyone was paying attention, they saw that the first couplet read - I was born ruthless, and there was no acacia wine in the gentle tent, so that the broken jade beads sank, and the fragrant fragrance was lost.
The soul stays at eighteen. The onlookers cheered loudly, and someone shouted: "Second couplet! Second couplet!"
At this time, someone had laid out the paper for the second couplet on the bed. Ximen Qing kept working on his pen, and he finished it with all his strength at every turn. When he hung it up to read, the second couplet read - Qing Shang has a feeling, and there is no need for it on the Wangxiang platform.
Drink Meng Po soup, wait until the end of time, and we will be together for hundreds of millions of years. There was silence all around, and suddenly, a loud cheer broke out.
All the Confucian scholars in Qinghe County were shocked. The old Confucian scholar Chen Qing, who had always disliked Ximen Qing the most, walked up and bowed deeply to Ximen Qing: "Master Ximen, I have truly convinced you today!"
Ximen Qing was stunned and returned the gift, staring blankly at the elegiac couplets blowing in the wind. Suddenly, he was filled with sadness and could no longer suppress it. He fell to the ground and cried bitterly. This is exactly:
Last night the wind withered the jade trees, and tonight my solitary pen accompanied the fragrant grave. But I don’t know what happened next, and I’ll listen to the explanation next time.
