“Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to lower myself to your level. You already said that you don’t have much research. Isn’t I bullying you by betting with you?”
Ximen liuyan followed her heart decisively and quickly found a way out.””This young master’s goal is to quickly challenge those highly difficult couplets with high scores. I don’t have time to waste on you! I’ll bet with you if I have the chance in the future!”
After saying that, he quickly calculated the points and turned to leave.
Lin Yi felt that it was a pity that he didn’t manage to trick him into the duel!
Otherwise, he would have earned another sum of points!
Lin Yi himself wasn’t that good at couplets, but he had scanned through a lot of books!
Actually, many couplets were not new. As long as one read enough books, it was not impossible to find a good second half.
For example, Ximen liuyan’s second half of the couplet was actually left behind by a predecessor.
He probably saw it before, so he took it for himself and used it.
It turned out that the person who wrote the second half of the couplet was not famous, and this couplet was not well circulated, so very few people had seen it.
No one present knew that Ximen liuyan had actually taken someone else’s second half of the couplet as her own.
Of course, it didn’t matter even if he knew. As long as he could match the couplets here, it would be fine, whether it was written by predecessors or a new work on the spot.
Without the fight, Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu could only continue to stroll around, looking around and matching some simple couplets.
After that, they would Max out the minimum number of couplets they could use and at the same time, they would complete the ten consecutive points and obtain the qualification to participate in the high-scoring couplets.
When the two of them reached the area with high couplets scores, there were already a few people who had arrived first.
Many of them were people Lin Yi knew, such as the Liu brothers, Sima Zhongxiao, Feng Zhipeng, Ximen liuyan, and so on.
Lin Yi didn’t recognize the other two, but he was sure that they were all quite skilled in couplets.
“Oh, you two can actually participate in the couplets here? I really didn’t expect this!”
Liu zizhu’s face darkened when he saw Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu, mocking them.”There should be a limit to luck. If I were you, I would match couplets for one point outside and that would be it.”
“Hehe, we rely on our strength and not luck, unlike some people who probably relied on the help of others to cheat and enter here, right?”
Liu Ziyu didn’t pamper him and immediately sneered and retorted,””Liu zizhu, do you even know couplets?”
This was not nonsense, and it could not be considered a personal attack, because Liu Ziyu remembered very clearly that Liu Zimei was very talented in couplets, and Liu zizhu … It was better not to mention it.
In any case, he could not be compared to Liu Zimei at all. He was just a guy who dragged her down.
“Why not? Liu Ziyu, I’m telling you, don’t look down on me. When I was matching couplets, you were still nowhere to be seen!”
Liu zizhu’s face turned slightly red, and after cursing a few times, he simply turned his head to look at the couplets, no longer continuing to provoke Liu Ziyu.
Liu Ziyu snorted and could not be bothered to pay attention to the other party. Instead, he turned his attention to the couplets.
The others only glanced at the two, not joining in the conversation.
Everyone was trying their best to think of the second verse, not willing to waste time.
The high-grade couplets were different from the couplets outside. Not all of them were displayed for people to see, but the next couplets would only be displayed after one was matched.
And the first half of the couplet here was obviously more difficult. It was not easy to come up with several second half at once!
Therefore, everyone present was holding back their energy and wanted to finish it quickly, so as not to let others beat them to it, and then it would be too late for regrets!
At this time, the first half of the couplet was worth six points, two points to the East and three points to the West!
Lin Yi took a look and knew that it was a broken couplets.
The ice and water were ingeniously separated and embedded in the couplet, and it was very artistic. It was indeed an extremely difficult first verse.
Everyone, including Liu Zimei, was racking their brains, as if they had never seen this couplet before.
Liu Ziyu also pinched his chin, his brows slightly furrowed as he began to think. His ability to match couplets was not bad, but if he wanted to match the first half of the couplet so easily, he was still a little lacking.
After a long while, Liu Zimei suddenly clapped her hands and laughed.”There, there! I’m sorry, everyone, but this little brother has taken the lead!”
As he spoke, he had already quickly picked up his brush and wrote the second half of the couplet that he was extremely satisfied with.”Cut the melon and split the guest with seven blades horizontally and eight blades vertically!”
After he finished writing, Liu zizhu immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly.”Wonderful! What a wonderful match!”
Liu Ziyu pondered for a while and also felt that Liu Zimei’s second half was quite good. It was indeed a match with the first half.
Without a doubt, these six points went into Liu Zimei’s pocket. The people around her were very gentlemanly, congratulating Liu Zimei one after another. After a round of polite greetings, they began to look at the newly hung first half of the couplet.
Xuanji’s water was turbid when there were insects, and fish when there were fish. Water, water, water, the rivers and lakes were endless.
It was still the same, but this first half was worth eight points!
The expressions of the few people became more and more serious. A couplet here was comparable to several couplets outside. They had to think of something!
This first half was indeed somewhat difficult, and definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface.
First, it used water as the theme and ran through the entire first half. Then, it was the dismantling and grouping of words, especially the latter half of water, water, water. It not only corresponded to rivers and lakes, but also formed a swastika.
As for the river, River, and Lake, they formed the second “Yi” character, and gave people a feeling of vast and boundless smoke. It could be said to be natural!
At first glance, everyone felt that there was some clue, but after thinking about it carefully, they quickly rejected their own ideas.
Liu Zimei thought about it for a while but could not find a suitable second line. She accidentally saw Liu Ziyu frowning and deep in thought, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy.
“Liu Ziyu, you seem to be quite powerful now, right? Just now, I matched the first half of the couplet. I’ll give you a chance this time. Why don’t you give it a try?”
Liu Zimei felt that if she had more time, she might be able to match the first half of the couplet.
However, in comparison, he would be happier to see Liu Ziyu embarrass himself.
In reality, Liu Zimei was certain that Liu Ziyu would not be able to come up with the second half of the couplet, so she wanted to take advantage of the gap in her thinking to give Liu Ziyu a blow.
After all, Liu Ziyu’s previous performance was too amazing.
If they couldn’t win in terms of strength and intelligence, how could the Liu family face that stray dog in the future?
“I don’t need you to give me a chance. This is something that everyone has. Do I need you to give it to me?”
Liu Ziyu snorted coldly and retorted,””Could it be that you can’t match it, so you want to divert others” attention? Actually, it doesn’t matter if you can’t match it. No one is expecting you to. ”
Liu Zimei felt a little hurt, but he really couldn’t think of the second half of the couplet. He couldn’t even slap Liu Ziyu in the face with the truth.
Some of the people around them were trying to hold back their laughter. They felt that what Liu Ziyu said really made sense.
