Chapter 232 231. That's it, why think about it? (Please subscribe!)

Guo Zhuangzhuang has been keeping a low profile lately, which is a bit weird.

This is a so-called writer who is extremely controversial and very good at using controversy to benefit himself.

but……

Ever since Wang Qian made Guo Zhuangzhuang lose face during his last lecture at Zhejiang University, and even the last couplet was not matched on the spot, which made Zhejiang University lose face, Guo Zhuangzhuang has been more low-key. Even though Liu Shengnan later wrote the second couplet on Weibo, it only saved a little bit and still had a considerable negative impact.

However, Guo Zhuangzhuang later went to Shancheng privately to find Xiao Dongmei, and asked Xiao Dongmei to come forward to fight against Wang Qian, but he still failed.

Then he disappeared completely for a while.

According to Guo Zhuangzhuang's previous style, even if he failed, he would jump up and down to attract attention.

This was the case after he lost the lawsuit for plagiarism. Even though the court ordered him to make the bridge public, he still loudly declared that he refused to apologize, as if he was the winner, which was the ultimate interpretation of shamelessness.

However, his actions actually attracted a wave of fans and brought good exposure to his works, which led to a sharp increase in his revenue.

After tasting the sweetness, Guo Zhuangzhuang acted in a high-profile and arrogant manner on major social platforms. He was recognized by many people as a writer and public intellectual. The urban TV series adapted from one of his works had a high viewership rate, and he successfully entered the film and television industry.

Putting aside those crooked ways, just speaking of talent and background, Guo Zhuangzhuang does have some. After all, he graduated from a prestigious university, he is tall and mighty, and his image is relatively decent, which can win the favor of people who are not familiar with him.

Therefore, Guo Zhuangzhuang's low-key behavior recently has confused many people in the literary circle who follow him.

And now.

When Wang Qian officially started the lecture, Guo Zhuangzhuang suddenly raised his hand again.

Many eyes were focused on Guo Zhuangzhuang, but he did not feel embarrassed or nervous at all. Instead, he was smiling and even looked a little proud.

Tang Hepeng, who was standing next to him, whispered to Guo Zhuangzhuang, "Xiao Guo, what do you want to ask?"

Guo Zhuangzhuang whispered back: "I have been practicing in seclusion recently, waiting for this opportunity!"

Lu Chunhu smiled faintly and asked, "What opportunity?"

Guo Zhuangzhuang looked at Wang Qian firmly, still holding his hands high, and said confidently: "An opportunity to prove myself and my alma mater!"

After hearing what he said, Tang Hepeng, Lu Chunhu and others didn't say anything.

No matter what Guo Zhuangzhuang's character and talent are, his starting point is good.

Besides, they really can't control Guo Zhuangzhuang.

This is also a Shuangxing school, not a Zhejiang University school...

only……

The result is still hard to say.

Everyone looked at Wang Qian.

Wang Qian paused his lecture, looked at Guo Zhuangzhuang and asked, "Mr. Guo Zhuangzhuang, do you have any questions?"

Guo Zhuangzhuang stood up and said loudly to Wang Qian under everyone's gaze: "Professor Wang, last time in the Zhejiang University classroom, you and I had a discussion on couplets!"

Wang Qian nodded: "Yes, have you studied couplets recently?"

Many people looked at Guo Zhuangzhuang with a smile and excitement in their eyes.

Obviously, everyone present knew the whole story, and some couplet enthusiasts even studied the couplets written by Wang Qian at that time.

This kind of literary confrontation is what everyone present wants to see.

Those celebrities who don’t understand much and just come to watch the fun also like to watch the fun. Where there is fun, there will be controversy, and there will be attention and traffic.

Xiao Dongmei looked back at Guo Zhuangzhuang with an indifferent look, but her brows were slightly furrowed.

She also wanted to hear Wang Qian personally talk about the two plum blossom poems he wrote for her, but this guy came out to interrupt her, which made her unhappy.

Moreover, as a writer with a family background and a traditional Chinese cultural heritage, Xiao Dongmei is not very interested in couplets. In her opinion, couplets are indeed a minor literary art.

Compared with couplets, listening to Wang Qian's explanation of poetry is obviously better and more rewarding.

However, Xie Yu said to Su Jiangsheng, "In your class, you let the people from Zhejiang University stand up to ask questions and find faults. Old Su, did the people from Zhejiang University do it on purpose?"

Su Jiangsheng's face was calm, but his eyes did look a little bad.

However, he did not say anything. What could he do in such a public place? He could only look at Wang Qian expectantly.

Qin Xuehong, Qin Xuerong, Liu Shengnan and others also looked at Wang Qian, all with a little worry.

Even so, I have confidence in Wang Qian.

However, the other party was obviously well prepared.

This class has received unprecedented attention in China.

Wang Qian’s current level of attention is unprecedented, attracting the attention of many ordinary people, and also attracting the attention of many people in the literary field.

What if something unexpected happens to Wang Qian in this class.

That would have been an extremely severe blow to him.

Those who are waiting for Wang Qian to make a mistake will take action immediately.

The plan of Tengfei Group and several major entertainment companies to promote and kill may soon turn from praise to killing...

Wang Qian looked at Guo Zhuangzhuang with a smile and looked relatively relaxed.

Guo Zhuangzhuang also had some confidence on his face. He was well prepared this time. He said, "In front of you, Professor Wang, I dare not say anything about research. I can only say that I have read some books recently and got some inspiration by chance. I happened to meet you giving a lecture, so I came here to ask you a question in person."

Guo Zhuangzhuang's words were still very high-sounding, as if both sides were very friendly.

Some people clapped their hands in support.

However, the vast majority of people remained silent and just looked at Guo Zhuangzhuang with interest.

No one would think that Guo Zhuangzhuang came with good intentions.

It is natural for intellectuals to look down on each other.

Xu Wenwen whispered to her sister Xu Xiaoxiao, "This Guo Zhuangzhuang has been contacting the school's top management recently, hoping to get a lecturer position at the school and pretend to be a Zhejiang University teacher. However, there was no response from the top management, neither approval nor rejection. I think he is deliberately coming to Professor Wang's class to cause trouble, perhaps just to strive for a position at Zhejiang University and gain some face for himself and the school."

Xu Xiaoxiao said softly: "I believe in Professor Wang! Moreover, I also believe that he will never be able to get the status of a teacher at Zhejiang University. He doesn't deserve it."

Xu Wenwen smiled without saying anything. She did not directly support anyone, but her eyes became brighter when she looked at Wang Qian.

Wang Qian extended his hand to Guo Zhuangzhuang and invited him, "I don't deserve your advice, but we can just have an exchange. Then, Mr. Guo, please come up to the stage and write down your inspiration for everyone to see?"

Guo Zhuangzhuang was not intimidated at all and immediately walked out of his seat: "Of course, I will show you how ugly you are."

Many students immediately made way for Guo Zhuangzhuang.

Although many students have a bad impression of him, everyone is looking forward to something happening at this moment.

Therefore, everyone cooperated and gave way to Guo Zhuangzhuang.

Guo Zhuangzhuang came to the podium under the gaze of many people, walked up to Wang Qian politely and shook hands with him, and whispered, "Hello, Professor Wang, please go easy on me."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "It's just an exchange, not a competition with winners or losers. The most important thing is that we can all gain something. So, why should we show mercy? Mr. Guo is too serious."

Guo Zhuangzhuang nodded and stopped talking. To say anything more would be a sign of weakness. He immediately picked up the chalk and started writing on the blackboard, saying, "I was reading history books recently when I thought of this couplet. I heard that Professor Wang is also quite knowledgeable about history, so I discussed it with Professor Wang."

Sizzle...

The sound of chalk rubbing against the blackboard was heard.

Guo Zhuangzhuang wrote the first line of the couplet on the blackboard in his impressive running script calligraphy.

The eight kings of the zither, se, and pipa are all lustful.

After writing, Guo Zhuangzhuang faced the audience of thousands of people and said confidently: "This is a couplet that I came up with by chance. I haven't thought of the second couplet yet. I have been thinking about it for several days but still can't come up with it. I am very sorry about this. However, Professor Wang showed a very high level of couplet writing last time. I think this should not be difficult for you, right?"

As he spoke, Guo Zhuangzhuang looked at Wang Qian and even provoked him a little at the end.

There was some discussion at the scene immediately.

Zhang Wanying said to Xie Yu, "Although this couplet is not so elegant, it does have some meaning in terms of words. The zither, harp, and pipa each represent two kings on top, which together make the Eight Great Kings. The lust of the kings seems to reflect the Eight Kings Rebellion in history!"

Xie Yu nodded: "It is indeed a bit difficult. I can't think of a neat second line at the moment. Let's see what Professor Wang said... It's a bit difficult to come up with a neat second line on the spot in such a short time."

Zhang Wanying nodded: "Isn't this guy here to embarrass us? This time, Zhejiang University deliberately came to Shuangxing's class to embarrass Wang Qian, and at the same time, it can also make Shuangxing's situation difficult, killing two birds with one stone..."

Su Jiangsheng and Li Huangjiang both looked unhappy after hearing this!

If there weren't so many people watching.

They probably all wanted to ask the security guards to kick Guo Zhuangzhuang out directly.

On the other side, Xue Zhenguo whispered, "This Guo Zhuangzhuang is either involved in lawsuits or researching this kind of literary art. It's hard for him to achieve anything big. Zhejiang University still allows him to do this. It's really..."

Xue Zhenguo shook his head and stopped talking, but his expression was full of disgust. If Guo Zhuangzhuang was from Beijing University, he might have kicked this guy out of the alumni circle long ago and prevented him from using the name of the school to act in a high-profile manner.

Shameful.

Xue Man nodded: "Guo Zhuangzhuang is indeed not a good person, but this guy is still quite capable. I can't think of the first line of this couplet all at once!"

Xue Zhenguo: "You are not a researcher in this field, so of course you can't think of it right away. I think it will be difficult for Wang Qian to figure it out too, it's too hasty..."

Xue Man stared at Wang Qian on the podium without saying anything.

Xue Zhenguo immediately shut up and stared at Wang Qian.

The discussions in the audience quickly stopped and became quiet, with everyone staring at Wang Qian with wide eyes.

because.

Guo Zhuangzhuang hasn't left the podium yet.

Wang Qian picked up the chalk and started writing directly on the blackboard.

This is……

There's a sequel so soon?

It's only been less than a minute, right?

Guo Zhuangzhuang stared at Wang Qian's back as he was writing with his eyes wide open, and then stared at the thin gold calligraphy written by Wang Qian without blinking, wanting to see if Wang Qian could write a neat second couplet.

The sound of chalk rubbing against the blackboard sounded rhythmically.

One by one, master-level calligraphy fonts in the slim gold style with great charm appeared on the blackboard.

Many people find this text extremely comfortable to read alone, and it is much better than Guo Zhuangzhuang's handwriting.

People in the literary circle, such as Xue Zhenguo, Li Huangjiang, Lu Chunhu, Tang Hepeng, and Wang Xuewen, did not pay attention to what Wang Qian wrote at once, but just stared at Wang Qian's handwriting.

They really enjoyed looking at Wang Qian's calligraphy.

Of course, most other people are still paying attention to whether Wang Qian's second line can match Guo Zhuangzhuang's first line neatly.

Words appeared one by one.

Every pair of eyes was staring intently.

The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sisters-in-law and four chaste girls are all talented.

Less than ten words.

Wang Qian finished writing quickly, then put down the chalk, turned around and faced the gazes of thousands of people in the audience, looked at Guo Zhuangzhuang and said with a smile: "What do you think of this second couplet, Mr. Guo?"

Guo Zhuangzhuang looked at it carefully, and was a little stunned for a moment. He did not answer Wang Qian's words immediately, but read it carefully and found that the parallelism was indeed very neat! He looked at Wang Qian again with wide eyes, and was slightly shocked.

Is this guy so amazing? This couplet was not thought up by him.

Instead, he asked several good friends in the circle who specialized in studying couplets for help, and got their stock. Others had been thinking for a long time but failed to come up with the second line.

Of course, people definitely don’t think about this every day doing nothing, they just think about it in their free time.

It’s normal if you can’t think of one! For now.

In Guo Zhuangzhuang's view, this is an absolute.

However……

Wang Qian, you wrote it on the spot in less than a minute?

Or was it the extremely neat second couplet? Guo Zhuangzhuang even suspected that his friend and Wang Qian were playing a trick on him? In fact, the two of them colluded with each other and knew the first and second couplets long ago, but just hid it from him so that he could make a fool of himself? This thought flashed through Guo Zhuangzhuang's mind for a moment, and then quickly extinguished.

He knew that this was basically impossible...

His friends have absolutely no connection with Wang Qian, and they have a very good relationship in private. They are all friends in the literary circle and the film and television circle, and can be considered as bad friends!

That……

Guo Zhuangzhuang couldn't think of any other possibility, only one.

That is, Wang Qian really showed up on the scene within a minute.

Papapapapa…

There was warm applause at the scene.

Everyone was shocked and excited that Wang Qian could come up with this somewhat difficult couplet so quickly, so they gave him warm applause.

Xu Xiaoxiao's hands turned red from clapping, and she said excitedly, "I knew Professor Wang could do it!"

Xu Wenwen nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Xie Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Amazing, really amazing. He had already figured it out before I could figure it out, and it was very neat."

Zhang Wanying nodded in agreement: "It is very neat, and the connotation and meaning are consistent with the first couplet. Obviously, Professor Wang not only matched it, but also had his own thoughts!"

Li Huangjiang whispered to Su Jiangsheng, "When the blackboard is finished, let the students go up and change it. Don't let Professor Wang wipe the blackboard. Professor Wang's calligraphy is really unique. I can't bear to let him erase it. I saved it and I can read it slowly when I have time in the future."

Su Jiangsheng nodded and smiled, "I have already arranged it. Zhejiang University, Moyin, and Zhejiang Conservatory of Music have all preserved the calligraphy blackboard written by Professor Wang, so of course we have to preserve it too. This is a master-level calligraphy font, and it is also Professor Wang's own creation of the Slender Gold calligraphy font. It is the only one of its kind in the country, and it is very meaningful and valuable to collect!"

Li Huangjiang nodded in agreement, but continued, "Just erase Guo Zhuangzhuang's words, there's no need to keep them!"

Su Jiangsheng smiled: "Of course..."

On the podium.

Guo Zhuangzhuang was awakened by the applause. He looked at Wang Qian with a little admiration and said, "Professor Wang, amazing! This couplet is very neat. You are worthy of being Professor Wang..."

Wang Qian said calmly, "Mr. Guo, you are too kind."

The applause has stopped.

Everyone continued to look at Wang Qian and Guo Zhuangzhuang.

because.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Look at this situation.

It seems like it’s not over yet? Guo Zhuangzhuang is still lingering on the podium.

really.

Guo Zhuangzhuang continued, "I remember that Professor Wang has done some research on the history of the Three Kingdoms?"

Wang Qian smiled and said, "I don't think I can do research, but I have dabbled in it a little."

Guo Zhuangzhuang came to the blackboard again and continued to write a line of text below the first couplet he had just written. He said, "I have also been studying the history of the Three Kingdoms recently, so I came up with an idea for the first couplet. I haven't thought of a neat and appropriate second couplet yet. I would like to ask Professor Wang to help me think of one."

Wang Qian kept smiling and said softly, "Let's take a look first. Maybe I can't think of it! Writing is natural and it happens by chance. This kind of writing depends a lot on luck."

Wang Qian's speech once again received applause from many people at the scene.

This article is a natural creation, created by a master's hand!

It touched the hearts of many literati.

Creation is indeed very accidental.

This is not like moving bricks. The bricks are there, you just need the strength to move them.

When it comes to literary creation, inspiration comes like diabetes insipidus, and you can write a lot immediately. If there is no inspiration, you can't write a few words even if you pull out all your hair.

Offstage, Xue Zhenguo asked Xue Man, "How is your Three Kingdoms history paper going?"

Xue Man: "I'm still looking up information and documents, and I should be able to finish it on time. However, I think Professor Wang may be much better than me in the study of the Three Kingdoms."

Xue Zhenguo: "Oh? How do you know?"

Xue Man: "Guess!"

Xue Zhenguo said nothing and looked at the first couplet written by Guo Zhuangzhuang.

All eyes were also on the words on the blackboard.

Cao Cao ascended the palace and called for Dian Le, Dian Le!

After Guo Zhuangzhuang finished writing, he put down the chalk and looked at Wang Qian again!

Many people at the scene began to discuss in low voices again.

Because many people do not understand the history of the Three Kingdoms and are not very clear about these names!

"I know Cao Cao, but what does Dian Le mean?"

"The first Dianyue is a person's name, one of Cao Cao's subordinates. The second Dianyue is a verb, meaning to play music. It means to ask Dianyue to play music!"

"Interesting, the noun and verb are the same!"

"Written based on the characters of the Three Kingdoms..."

"Guo Zhuangzhuang's knowledge reserve is quite good!"

…

This kind of couplet is also quite difficult.

Of course, many people present are literary masters. Although couplets are a minor art, if they are given time, they should be able to come up with one...

However, the problem lies in timing.

This is the scene.

You are not given enough time to think! It may be okay to think for three to five minutes, but you can't think for dozens of minutes on the podium.

Therefore, if you can’t figure it out in a short period of time, you lose.

Losing in front of so many people is absolutely humiliating.

Everyone's eyes were on Wang Qian.

Yang Zixuan whispered, "Why is Guo Zhuangzhuang deliberately making things difficult for Professor Wang?"

Xiong Jia: "Revenge. Everyone knows that Guo Zhuangzhuang is a villain. Professor Wang didn't provoke him. He was the one who provoked Professor Wang again and again and lost face. Now he is looking for trouble. I think this guy may continue to cause trouble for Professor Wang in the future!"

Ru Ke, Yan Ru and Zhu Qiqi all nodded in agreement!

Everyone in the circle who knows Guo Zhuangzhuang dislikes his personality.

If it weren't for his status as an alumnus of Zhejiang University and his good performance in the film and television industry, many people probably wouldn't have dealt with him.

Guo Zhuangzhuang looked at Wang Qian with a somewhat proud expression: "Professor Wang, how about this first couplet?"

Wang Qian nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Guo Zhuangzhuang: "Oh? Professor Wang, can you please help me think of the second line?"

Everyone fell silent and looked at the two people on the podium!

Wang Qian said calmly, "Why bother thinking about this kind of couplet?"

Everyone looked at Wang Qian, and they could hear the absolute confidence and contempt in Wang Qian's calm tone.

This kind of couplet...

Is there any need to think about it?

Guo Zhuangzhuang looked a little unhappy and was about to say something.

Then I saw Wang Qian picked up the chalk and started writing on the blackboard.

It is still the unique style of Slender Gold calligraphy font.

Although chalk was used, the writing still had the style of a master.

A line of text slowly appeared.

"Liu Bei was selling straw sandals and met Guan and Zhang, Guan and Zhang!"

Finished.

The scene also became quiet for a moment.

Many people still don’t understand.

Because many people don’t know much about the history of the Three Kingdoms, so they don’t know the meaning of the names of the characters.

but……

Many people who understood immediately began to applaud.

Xue Man, Xue Zhenguo and others understood it at a glance and immediately applauded loudly!

Other people who didn’t understand, when they saw that some professors, teachers, and academic masters were applauding, they also started to applaud. Although they didn’t understand, they knew that since people who understood were applauding, then that must be correct.

Someone else explained to his friends: "Liu Bei, like Cao Cao, is a powerful leader. Guan and Zhang are two different people. Guan and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's sworn brothers and subordinates. The first Guan and Zhang refers to Guan and Zhang Fei, while the second Guan and Zhang means closing down the business!"

Many people suddenly realized it !

The warm applause rang out again.

Guo Zhuangzhuang looked at the second line that Wang Qian wrote almost immediately after he finished, and was stunned again.

The same thought came up again...

Did they gang up on me? He had been thinking about this first couplet for more than half a month but couldn't come up with it, so he had the confidence to write it here, just to embarrass Wang Qian and make him lose face in public.

Even if it doesn't have a big impact on Wang Qian, he will be happy! But...

Now, Wang Qian wrote it down without thinking?

Guo Zhuangzhuang really wanted to pick up the phone and call his friends in the screenwriter circle to ask what was going on.

However, reason made him calm down.

He knew that was impossible.

After calming down.

Guo Zhuangzhuang looked at Wang Qian and applauded softly, as if he was very graceful.

It seems like this is just an academic discussion.

There is no winner or loser!

Everyone has gained something...

But!

Wang Qian continued, "In fact, the essence of couplets is a word combination game. Don't think it's too difficult."

Hear Wang Qian's voice.

Many people stopped applauding and wanted to hear what Wang Qian had to say.

Wang Qian continued, "The reason why people's couplets are generally not as good as those of the ancients is that we don't study the text as much as the ancients did. We have learned more things and more knowledge, and we don't study the text every day. That's why it's like this. It's not that we are stupid, but we just don't have enough time to study. Couplets are not necessary knowledge for survival."

"And I happened to have done some research on this, so I was able to write it so quickly. If you have time, you can look at some characters with special radicals and combine them at will, then you will be able to come up with couplets more quickly in the future."

Wang Qian pointed at Guo Zhuangzhuang's first couplet and said, "The couplet of Cao Cao and Liu Bei requires relevant historical knowledge, so I won't talk about it. Let me talk about this. The difficulty of this couplet lies in the four identical radicals, and it has to be connected to make it interesting. It looks a bit difficult. I'll give everyone some time to think about it carefully. I think some people may be able to come up with it, but almost no one can come up with it in a short time. This is what I said, not enough research on the text!"

"Qin, Se, Pipa, all four have double kings on the top radical. I wrote four female characters on the radical side, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law. As long as you come up with this, you can just think of any acceptable meaning for the rest."

"For example, there is 魑魅魍魉, which has four ghosts as its radical! The remaining four characters can be used to write "鬼鬼做邪".

Everyone at the scene and Guo Zhuangzhang on the podium watched Wang Qian quickly write down the second half of the couplet on the blackboard: Four ghosts, ghosts doing evil!

As for the eight kings of zither, se, and pipa, the lustful king also looks extremely neat.

Although they found this couplet quite difficult, Wang Qian was able to come up with two such neat ones in a short period of time.

Many people admire him very much! This kind of profound study of words has made Xue Zhenguo, Tang Hepeng, Xie Yu and other professors at famous universities have to admit it.

Guo Zhuangzhuang was stunned.

Applause rang out again.

Tang Hepeng applauded and said, "Xiao Guo is still too impatient. Professor Wang's quick thinking is beyond what I have ever seen in my life."

Lu Chunhu: "Yes, Professor Wang's research on characters is beyond my imagination. I am not as good as him."

…

Ru Ke clapped lightly and said with a smile, "That's really amazing!"

Yang Zixuan: "Professor Wang is more than qualified to be a professor in the Chinese Department of Shuangxing. His knowledge of literature is indeed impressive."

…

Su Jiangsheng, Li Huangjiang and others also clapped their hands softly, looking admiring.

Although couplets are a minor literary genre, it is truly amazing to be able to make something out of it!

And on the podium.

Wang Qian pressed his palms towards everyone, signaling for the applause to stop, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please stop clapping. This is nothing worth clapping for. Mr. Guo has indeed done some research on couplets. I just mentioned couplets with the same radical, so I will write one with the same radical for Mr. Guo!"

As Wang Qian spoke, he turned around and continued writing a line on the blackboard.

The whole place was extremely quiet.

Although Guo Zhuangzhuang was so nervous that his whole body was stiff and his face was red, and he was so embarrassed that he almost drew a picture on the floor with his toes, he still stretched his head and stared carefully at the words written by Wang Qian on the blackboard.

Then, Guo Zhuangzhuang’s eyes widened.

Everyone at the scene stared at the blackboard.
