Chapter 262 This young man is not simple
The sun sets in the west, the entire capital is resplendent, the streets are bustling with people, but no one pays attention to this magnificent scenery.
An inn with unusually prosperous decoration was completely silent at this time, and no one paid attention to the beautiful scenery.
In the inn, a young man dressed in simple clothes looked at the shocked and disgusting store clerk opposite him with an innocent face, his dark eyes turning like beads, and his lips curled up. Jiao asked softly:
“Why, can’t it be said that it’s not possible? What about this, the mountain springs on Jingquan Mountain are quiet, and the sky is connected to the water and the tail water is connected to the sky; or, the mountains and springs on Jingquan Mountain are quiet, and the fog is locked on the top of the mountain.”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes were red and he almost cried!
No such thing, others have been thinking hard for a long time and couldn't think of a second line, but they are happy when they think of one. It took a long time for the whole room to come up with three of these couplets! !
How about you, change one word for one word, change two words for one word, change three words for one word, then change all two words, and now you throw out two more words! In the blink of an eye, you can make a couplet. In the time it takes a glass of water, you can make 7 couplets with just one couplet!
Even drinking water is not so fast!
The store clerk looked at the innocent-looking Zhu Pingan again. The store clerk felt like he had seen a monster!
After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, he turned his attention to the shop assistant again, with an innocent look on his face and his mouth slightly open.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an seemed to want to talk again, the shop clerk nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay," lest he nod too slowly. If the young man throws out a few couplets casually, his little heart really can't withstand the blow. .
The people in the store who were concentrating, meditating, and puzzling all looked at the poor country boy in simple clothes in front of them in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
There was silence in the entire inn.
However, a voice soon broke the silence of the room.
"Well, if you show two couplets to each other, you'll get free board and lodging for the day, right?" Zhu Ping'an paused after the shop assistant nodded, and then asked again.
The shop clerk’s eyes were dull and he nodded numbly and mechanically.
Then, the shop clerk was shocked again, his eyes wide open, and he looked at Zhu Pingan with a shocked look on his face.
You, you. What are you going to do?
The look in her eyes was as if a little girl walking alone on a remote road was suddenly cornered by a strong man with ill intentions!
"Free board and lodging means you can eat whatever you want without paying for it, right?"
The young man in plain clothes opposite saw his face beaming with joy, and his dark eyes instantly changed to... The summer sky is as clear as day, but also with a sense of heat, honesty and straightforwardness.
The store clerk nodded again, looking at Zhu Pingan in shock, his hands trembling a little.
Then, everyone’s eyes in the entire lobby focused on Zhu Pingan again.
After Zhu Pingan received a positive answer from the store clerk, he slightly raised his lips and looked up at the couplets hanging on the railing on the third floor, moving from the first couplet to the second couplet.
Then, everyone was even more shocked, because when they compared the couplets in this inn, everyone chose the ones that they thought were easier from the six couplets. They did not do them in order. If they did it in order, it would be more difficult. For themselves In other words, maybe the latter one will be simpler than the previous one. Now, seeing Zhu Pingan looking at the second couplet in order, he was shocked.
This guy can’t be faking it.
No matter what everyone thinks, Zhu Pingan's eyes have now fallen on the second couplet. This couplet is much longer than the first couplet. It is too long and the difficulty is also increased a lot. This couplet has a total of 28 characters, and the content is as follows:
Baita Street, yellow blacksmith, making red furnace, burning black charcoal, emitting blue smoke, flashing blue light, quenching purple iron, sitting north and facing south Hit something.
If you look at the content alone, this couplet should be a favorite couplet that the owner of this inn copied in front of the blacksmith shop in some corner. There are seven colors in this couplet: white, yellow, red, black, cyan, indigo, and purple. The colors are embedded in nouns and verbs respectively. After the couplet, there are four direction words: east, west, south, and north. The most important thing is What's interesting is that this couplet strings these elements together and has a theme of a blacksmith making iron. In this way, this couplet is very difficult.
"Has anyone else corrected this couplet?" After Zhu Pingan read the couplet, he pointed at it and asked the shop assistant next to him.
“Yes, I have one.” The shop clerk’s voice was trembling.
"Oh, then read it out, so that I don't accidentally repeat it. Don't worry, I won't change the words this time." Zhu Pingan said with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"On Baita Street, the yellow blacksmith makes a red furnace, burns black charcoal, emits green smoke, flashes blue light, and tempers purple iron. He sits north and faces south to strike things; the ancients and the later ones read Zuo Zhuan and practiced Right Army, please pay homage to your Majesty, sit in the middle hall, and ask your subordinates to go out, generals, prime ministers, and princes."
The shop clerk opened the booklet with trembling hands, turned to the second page, and read the couplet once. The voice no longer had the arrogance and contempt it had before, but only shock and uneasiness.
"Aspirational, so magnanimous." Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an slightly raised the corners of his lips and said in praise.
A certain well-dressed young man in the lobby pushed the young man named Vincent next to him with his hand and said with a smile, "That boy complimented you on your ambition and magnanimity."
< br>The boy named Vincent next to him Looking at Zhu Ping'an, he smiled casually, "I'm curious about what kind of second couplet he can write correctly."
"Are you so sure that he can write the second couplet correctly?" The man in the dress said The decent young man looked at his friend Vincent and asked.
“Don’t you believe it?” The young man named Vincent turned to his friend and asked.
"Hahaha, I believe it." The well-dressed young man raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
As soon as the conversation between the two teenagers ended, Zhu Ping'an in the audience had already begun to recite the couplet he had written softly:
"Baita Street, the yellow blacksmith, makes the red furnace, Burning black charcoal produces green smoke and flashes blue light , quenching purple iron, sitting north and facing south;
Zhoukoudian, a scholar of Qin, memorizing Han Fu, reciting Tang poems, filling in Song lyrics, singing Yuan songs, observing the history of the Ming Dynasty, and looking at the Spring and Autumn Period through winter and summer. "
Good!
As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, there was a burst of applause in the lobby, and then many people slapped their heads in sudden realization, regretting that they had not thought of it earlier.
This young man creatively combined the names of the seven dynasties of Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming that we are all familiar with with Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan music, etc., Spring and Summer Autumn and winter are the names of the four seasons, which correspond to spring and autumn. The most important thing is that if the artistic conception of the first couplet is like blacksmithing, then the artistic conception of this young man's second couplet has risen to the realm of "everything is inferior, only reading is good", which is simply amazing.
This boy is really not simple.
In the lobby, for the first time, everyone focused their eyes squarely on Zhu Pingan. (End of this chapter)
