King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

  Chapter 79

  Everyone waited with bated breath, eyes wide open, staring at the huge long scroll slowly falling from the left.

Vigorous and powerful, with a trace of unruly handwriting slowly appearing in front of everyone, even those who don't know calligraphy can tell that this handwriting is definitely everyone's handwriting, and the identity of the person who wrote these words is not ordinary, otherwise It is impossible to write such words.

  The doubts in the hearts of the people pressed, and they moved their eyes to the content, and the seven vigorous and powerful characters came into everyone's eyes.

  Peach leaf grape leaves, herbaceous woody.

  The rich merchants looked puzzled, not knowing what these words meant. And those scholars lowered their heads one by one, frowning in thought.

  Brother Bai glanced at Brother Liu and Brother Han, and smiled wryly, "How many of you have come up with the second line?"

  Brother Liu shook his head, "This upper couplet looks simple, but it actually has infinite meaning. I'm not talented, but I hope some brothers can enlighten me."

  Brother Bai sighed, "It's so absolute, I'm afraid it's the master behind the building outside the building. Looking at the handwriting, this person is definitely a stunningly talented person. Bai is not talented, so he can't guess the second line."

  Brother Liu nodded in agreement, "Brother Bai is right, this is absolute, and the person who created this couplet must be absolutely extraordinary. If you can make friends with this person, you will definitely benefit a lot, and it will be an eye-opener."

   "Since she is so good, she should take part in the scientific examination?" Brother Mo wiped his mouth with his sleeve and asked.

  Brother Bai and Brother Liu were taken aback, yes! How could such an amazingly talented person not take part in the scientific examination. With such people participating, it goes without saying who will win the scientific examination this year.

  Both of them sighed lightly, although they were a little disappointed that they had no chance of being number one. But I also vaguely look forward to seeing what the characters who made this couplet look like.

   "I'm afraid this person will not participate in the scientific examination." Brother Han who had been silent all this time suddenly said.

  The three of them were taken aback for a moment, and looked at Brother Han with some doubts, their eyes full of puzzlement.

  Brother Han slightly raised his head, and explained in a calm voice, "How can such people be greedy for that official power?"

  Brother Bai and Brother Liu were stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, Qi Qi suddenly realized.

yes! How could such a talented person be greedy for the power in the officialdom!

  The two of them looked at each other, with a look of regret in their eyes. It was a great pity in life that such a person would not be able to meet him.

   As if he knew what the two were thinking, Brother Han said, "We will meet each other if we are destined."

  The two looked at Brother Han thoughtfully, then nodded slowly. Moved the topic to the couplet again.

   "Brother Han, you may have a couplet?" Brother Bai turned his head and said. For some reason, she always had a feeling that Brother Han could match this couplet.

  Brother Han pondered for a moment, didn't speak, just shook his head lightly.

  Brother Liu, who was looking at Brother Han expectantly because of Brother Bai's words, couldn't help but darken his eyes when he heard these words.

  Could it be that today, no one can answer this couplet?

   When several people were silent, shopkeeper Wu on the stage smiled and said, "I don't know if anyone has come up with a second line?"

A rich lady who didn't have much ink in her stomach heard this sentence, slammed the table on the spot, overturned all the tea and snacks on the table, and said angrily, "I'm not dead, there is no second line at all, you are fooling us Woolen cloth?"

  As soon as the voice fell, the people sitting around him all took a few steps back, with expressions like I don't know her and I have nothing to do with her.

   But the rich lady didn't know it at all, she still stood there and shouted arrogantly.

  Brother Bai and Brother Liu shook their heads lightly when they saw this. Screaming on someone else's territory, isn't that courting death!

  Brother Han glanced at the rich lady lightly, and slowly spit out two words: Courting death.

  Brother Mo stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and glanced at the rich lady and shopkeeper Wu, feeling a little confused.

   Shopkeeper Wu still had a faint smile on his face, but as long as anyone could see it, shopkeeper Wu was obviously angry.

  The rich lady was still clamoring, "What, you bastard, you dare to bully Miss Ben. Believe it or not, Miss Ben will have your arms removed when I go back!"

  As soon as the voice fell, all the people around were astonished.

  A hug?

   Hug it!

  I don't know a single big character and dare to be arrogant here, it seems really stupid.

  All the people around shook their heads, looking like they were enjoying the show.

   Shopkeeper Wu waved his hand, and several guards rushed out from behind in an instant, picked up the hands and feet of the rich lady, and walked towards the door.

  I thought there would be screams from outside, but after a while, there was no sound from outside, not even the guards came in.

  Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and one after another withdrew their eyes from watching the show, knowing that this matter could not be done well, so they didn't dare to participate in it. As if they didn't know what happened just now, each of them looked at the couplet with a thoughtful look and whispered to each other.

   Shopkeeper Wu's face slowly relaxed, showing a kind smile, and quietly observing the reactions of everyone below.

   After a long time, a scholar stood up and said, "If I am not talented, I will be the first to answer." He looked at the couplet and said, "Snow color, flower color, snow color, white and red."

  When the people around heard it, they all cheered.

   Shopkeeper Wu pondered for a while, then looked at the private room where Junli was on the third floor without any trace.

Seeing the young servant waving his hand outside the private room, shopkeeper Wu lowered his eyes, raised a smile on his face, and said to the scholar, "This lady answered well, but it's not the answer my master wanted." He bowed slightly to express his apology.

  The scholar was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled gently and sat down slowly.

  When the other people saw it, they stood up one after another, and said the answer they had been thinking about for a long time.

   Without exception, everyone's answers are not what the owner of the building outside the building wants.

  Hearing this, the scholars couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, thinking about what kind of answer the owner of the building outside wanted.

  During the period, Brother Bai and Brother Liu also uttered the second couplet that they had thought up. Although they were brilliant, they were just like the others. The second line is not what the owner wants.

  Brother Mo muttered to the side, "The owner of the building outside the building is trying to embarrass others. He is not willing to give away the grape wine and one hundred taels of silver, so he used this excuse..."

  Hearing this, Brother Bai and Brother Liu's expressions changed, and they quickly reached out to pick up a piece of snack, stuffed it in her mouth, and stopped her from continuing.

  Brother Mo glared at the two of them dissatisfied, a little confused.

  Jun Li sat in the private room and sighed in disappointment. Is there really no one to talk to?

  Give a look to the shopkeeper Wu downstairs, indicating that today is over.

   Shopkeeper Wu nodded, and was about to call someone to put away the couplet when he heard a faint voice.

   "Plum fragrance, cinnamon fragrance, rose fragrance, spring fragrance and autumn fragrance."
