Chapter 259 Couplet
“It’s reserved for the person who made the couplet, not for you. You’d better go to other inns and have a look.”
The inn is a big bully, but the slave is a big one. Bully the Lord.
The impatient words of the shopkeeper were sarcastic, and the glance of the literati who was concentrating on thinking in the inn was discriminatory and contemptuous. The two critical attacks overlapped and could cause at least 10,000 points of damage. In other words, when faced with such an embarrassing situation, most people would probably hide their faces in shame and walk away.
However, what surprised everyone was that the poor country boy at the door of the inn seemed to be unable to hear the sarcasm of the innkeeper or understand the discrimination. Instead of hiding his face in shame, his face was filled with smiles. With a simple and honest smile, he said happily:
"Really? That means I have a house."
Pfft
What a simple boy!
The people in the lobby of the inn who were concentrating on the couplet couldn't help bursting into laughter after hearing Zhu Pingan's words and looking at the silly young man at the door. I think the most elegant word they could use to describe the poor country boy at the door was simple. Of course, judging from their laughing expressions, after racking their brains for a long time but struggling to find the next link, their mental description of the poor boy at the door is more likely to be colloquial: Idiot! Silly X!
Hearing this, the inn clerk almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he looked at the silly young man at the door. There is a woolen yarn, you can't understand human speech, the room reserved is not for you!
"The remaining rooms in the store are reserved for people who want to leave the couplet. They are not rented out. Sir, please go away without giving them away."
The store clerk became increasingly impatient and looked at Zhu Ping'an stretched out his hand towards the door and made a gesture of invitation. Although he was smiling, his words also had a strong sense of irony.
"Really? Then I will also come and compare the couplets."
Zhu Ping'an held the dark horse at the door and said with slightly squinted eyes. He had an honest face and his smile remained the same, as if he didn't know what it was like to be rejected.
The store clerk glanced at Zhu Ping'an up and down, rolled his eyes, and exhaled a turbid breath with extreme disdain.
you also?
Don’t use the word ye so casually. You will lower the standard of the couplets in the hotel lobby! Look at you. It was obvious that he was a man digging in the dirt in the countryside, and there was no trace of the literary atmosphere in his body. It would be nice if you can recognize your own name, but what about the couplets? You must know that these couplets were specially collected by our boss from all over the country. The average scholar would not dare to say that he could pronounce even one of them. Even if you are digging in the countryside, you dare to say so. Let's talk about the couplet. I don't mind exposing you in such a loud tone!
"What? Can't it be right now?" The boy at the door looked towards the lobby and asked softly, showing his white teeth.
"So what if I can be right, so what if I can't be right, you can't be right anyway, so while it's still early, you'd better find another inn."
The store clerk was very impatient. The lobby is full of talented people with high literary accomplishments. If you, a country man digging in the dirt, are allowed to join in the fun, wouldn't it be equivalent to humiliating these distinguished guests? Think about it, these talented people in the lobby are so big There are still a lot of people who can't get a single couplet right. You can't even get a single couplet right if you go in with a weak leg. Doesn't that mean that these talented men are no different from idiots? No, we must not let this happen.
"That's right." The young man at the door smiled cheerfully, with a simple and honest smile, but it was particularly dazzling in the eyes of the store clerk.
Play it!
The store clerk is an old man again. You are a fool and you don’t understand human language. Can you grasp the key point? What I'm saying is to let you go. It's up to you whether it's right or not. Well, the poor boy at the door really doesn't look back until he hits the wall! Okay, let me hit you then! If you don't want to be right, then I'll let you be right, but not the six couplets hanging in the hotel lobby.
"You want to match the couplets, right? If you can match my couplet, then you can go to the lobby to match the couplets. If you can't, haha, then don't even think about the couplets in the lobby. You can't even think about it. I can't think of it."
The store clerk looked at Zhu Pingan and said with a slight snort.
The shop clerk is also someone who has read several years of schooling, otherwise he would not be able to work in this inn as a busboy. The salary in this inn is two or three times that of other inns. The requirement is to be able to read and interpret sentences. Because he has read a few years of schooling, this shop The guy just came to this inn. After only staying here for half a year, the clerk in this store earns enough money that others would have worked hard for two or three years, and I can't help but feel a bit proud.
"Okay." Zhu Pingan replied cheerfully, his smile still the same.
"The gate is now open for you." The two shop assistants opened and closed their breaths and composed a couplet with the title of ancient poetry.
In fact, this couplet is not difficult at all. It comes from Du Fu's "The Guest Arrives". This is a second couplet written by the store clerk, asking Zhu Pingan to compare the first couplet, but he deliberately did not say whether it was the first couplet or the second couplet, because he looked down on Zhu Pingan. If you have read poetry books, you will know at a glance that this is Du Fu's "The Guest Arrival" For half of the sentence in "The flower path has never been swept by the lucky guests, the gate is now open for you", just say the previous sentence.
After the couplet came out, the store clerk sneered at Zhu Pingan, and the people in the lobby who were thinking about the couplet also looked at the door in boredom, thinking it was just for fun.
"The gate is now open for you"
Zhu Ping'an took the dark horse of Sha Ma and softly chanted the couplets written by the store clerk. When the store clerk wanted to say that the repeated couplets were not counted, , then Zhu Ping'an said the second line:
"When you sleep, you will be numb and happy"
The door will be opened for you now, and when you sleep, you will be numb!
As soon as Zhu Pingan said this couplet, everyone in the lobby seemed to have been tapped. They were stunned for a second, and then everyone in the lobby laughed instantly. Although people in the ancient Ming Dynasty did not know The word "hi" means "high", but in ancient times the word "hi" also had an onomatopoeic and exclamatory meaning, and we can almost understand this meaning.
The courtyard path filled with flowers and grass has not been cleaned to welcome guests; the door made of woven straw has only been opened today because of your arrival. What an artistic poem, but the seven words "I'll be paralyzed while sleeping and get high" are like a pig, instantly destroying the artistic conception like a dog eating shit.
This kind of impact is simply heartbreaking.
Of course, the store clerk who was on the front line of the shock wave suffered a prelude of 10,000 points of damage. It felt like a lump of Xiang was stuffed into his mouth, and he was about to vomit Zhu Ping'an's face with shit. , but heard Zhu Pingan speak again.
"The flower path has never been swept by visitors, and the gate is now open for you." Zhu Ping'an showed his eight teeth, opened a standard smile, and then continued: "Hehehe, I think the atmosphere is too Seriously, just kidding.”
With one sentence, Rexiang, who was about to spit it out, stuffed it into his mouth again. (End of chapter)
