Everyone present was a competitor. Who would have nothing better to do than to hope that Liu Zimei would match the first verse?
"Hehe, Liu Ziyu, I don't know if you've made any progress since you've just learned, but your sharp tongue has indeed improved! Don't tell me you rely on your mouth to lead an Army and fight a war? If you're so capable, why don't you match this couplet!"
Liu Zimei decided to change the topic and downplay the matter of her matching the couplet. At the same time, she kept thinking about how she could match the couplet.
"Do you really want to see my couplet? It's not that I can 't, but if I do as you say, what do you take me for? Who Do You Think You Are?"
Liu Ziyu's face was full of disdain, but there was also a hint of guilt in his eyes."How about this, let's have a bet. Whoever can match this couplet first will win ten points from the other party!"
Including the eight points he already had, that was 18 points in total!
Liu Zimei was slightly taken aback, and her heart was immediately filled with hesitation. She was secretly guessing if Liu Ziyu had already thought of the second half.
However, he immediately recalled the guilty look that had flashed across Liu Ziyu's eyes ... Was he bluffing?
'Damn it!'
Is this B * stard trying to scare me?
Liu Zimei immediately confirmed her own thoughts.
In terms of couplets, even three Liu ziyus combined would not be a match for him, Liu Zimei!
Didn't they use the gambling method to scare him off?
If Liu Zimei did not dare to accept the challenge, then he would lose all his face.
In front of dozens of people from various commanderies, both the civil and military sides were suppressed by Liu Ziyu. How could he call Liu Ziyu a stray dog in the future?
"Hehehe, who's afraid of who? You're rushing to give me points, how can I refuse?"
Liu Zimei immediately sneered. You're using the same method Sima Zhongda used to scare Ximen liuyan to scare me? Then he really found the wrong target!
"You agree?"
Liu Ziyu was stunned. He did not expect Liu Zimei to agree to it!
Lin Yi was just trying to provoke Liu Zimei with his words, and he didn't think it would work.
The guilty look on Liu Ziyu's face just now ... Was definitely on purpose. He did not think that Liu Zimei would really fall for it. In any case, he just wanted to make a bet.
Who would have thought that Liu Zimei would really agree!
Hence, Liu Ziyu's shock was not an act!
It was precisely because of this that Liu Zimei's confidence grew. She believed that Liu Ziyu was bluffing and was trying to use this method to scare her away.
"Why not? I already said that you're giving me free points, I have no reason to refuse!"
Liu Zimei gave him a look that said she had everything under control. She had a smug look on her face as if she had already seen through the truth."Come on, since the wagered fight has been established, let's start now!"
After saying these few words, Liu Zimei felt that he already had some clues. If he carefully deliberated for a while, he might be able to come up with the second half.
Therefore, he raised his chin with ease and looked at Liu Ziyu with a slightly provocative look. He wanted to see how this stray dog would embarrass himself.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Ziyu heard that they were going to start now, he casually responded with an "Oh" and went forward to start writing the second half of the couplet.
Liu Zimei's heart skipped a beat. She immediately felt that something was amiss, but she was still unwilling to admit it. She forced a smile and said,""What? you already have a second half? They had to be neat and orderly! Our wagered duel is not just about randomly coming up with some bullsh * t second half!"
Liu Ziyu ignored her and focused on writing quickly. When Liu Zimei finished, the second half of the couplet had already been written.
The bottom of the tree was the foundation, and the top of the tree was the end. Wood Wood Wood, pine, Cypress, and camphor were dense.
"I'm telling you, you can just write a second half, I definitely won't ..."
Liu Zimei was still blabbering when she saw Liu Ziyu suddenly bring up the second half of the couplet that he had just written and show it to everyone.
As a result, he was stuck halfway through his sentence, as if someone was strangling his neck, and he could not say a word.
This second couple...Was really very neat!
No matter how unwilling Liu Zimei was to admit it, she could not deny that it was indeed a perfect second half.
"How is it? is this second half passable?"
Liu Ziyu was secretly pleased. He was just short of directly smacking the second half of the couplet into Liu Zimei's face.
Although it was Lin Yi's Secret guidance that helped them match the second half of the couplet, and it might embarrass Liu Zimei, the other details weren't important anymore!
There was no need for Liu Zimei to answer if she could pass. The fact that she had successfully obtained points for the second part was the best answer.
Liu Zimei's face darkened as she lost ten points to Liu Ziyu. She was filled with hatred!
So, you've really planned this, right?
She even pretended to be guilty and stunned. The self-cultivation of an actor was not bad!
Unfortunately, it was too late to understand now. He had agreed to this matter himself. If he was willing to bet, he had to admit defeat. If he said anything else, it would seem like he couldn't afford to lose.
"I didn't know that you, Liu Ziyu, are an expert at matching couplets!"
Liu Zimei gritted her teeth and snorted. She rolled her eyes at Liu Ziyu and immediately turned her head away. Out of sight, out of mind!
Liu Ziyu chuckled and was in a great mood. It was truly a pleasant surprise to be able to strike at Liu Zimei's arrogance and obtain so many points at the same time!
At this moment, a new first half was hung up. Everyone quickly went to take a look and realized that it wasn't just a simple first half. What they saw was an ink wash painting with a distant artistic conception.
There was a quiet pond in the painting. Green willows were hanging by the side of the pond, and a thin layer of mist permeated the surroundings, making the whole painting look more ethereal.
And in the blank space of the painting, there was the first line of the couplet: "smoke locks the pond Willow"!
"As everyone has seen, this time's first half is the famous" absolutely misty smoke locks the pond Willow "! This couplet has been passed down for a long time, but no suitable second half has appeared. If a great sage can match it today, he will obtain at least ten points!"
The palace maid who hung the painting stood at the side with a smile and introduced it in a soft voice,""Because this couplet has spread far and wide, there are already some counterfeits. For example, the counterfeits on the brocade pillar lamps are neat and steady. It can be considered a rare and beautiful line."
"It's a pity that these couplets that have been circulated outside are far from perfect. If ten points are the best, the tingpei brocade pillar lamp would only get six points!"
"Therefore, today's match must be creative and can not be matched with sentences that already exist. You must score more than six points to be qualified! To put it simply, the standard must be above that of the Muti brocade lantern!"
"There's one more thing. The reward for this couplet is unique, and the best person will get it! The rest will not be counted!"
There was a small commotion among the crowd. In the couplets earlier, there was no indication that existing couplets could not be used!
As expected, the couplets this time had increased in difficulty, and it was worth the reward of at least ten points.
Moreover, only the best one could get the reward. It was useless for others to try and match it.
