Volume 1, Chapter 50: Expert Literary Accomplishments

Professor Guo said slowly, "Those who can come up with the second line of the poem can be considered experts in terms of literary accomplishment, if not geniuses."

Expert?

Li Tian was surprised for a moment, thinking that he had become so powerful after his enlightenment, and his literary attainments could be considered that of an expert, because he could now come up with a couplet in his mind.

Qiao Yuncai next to him coughed a few times, a smug smile on his face.

"Did you figure it out?" Li Tian asked him.

"It's a piece of cake." Qiao Yuncai said confidently.

Li Tian was not surprised. As Chu Tianxiong's son, it was impossible for him not to have some skills.

At this time, the innocent-looking girl Zhao Yuer raised her hand. When Professor Guo motioned her to stand up, she gave her second line: "It's hard to ask for help, it's hard to ask for help, everyone is in trouble and it's hard to ask for help."

"Good. That's very neat."

"Student Zhao is indeed a talented girl in our department. She is amazing."

"This second line is simply perfect."

As the beauty of the Political Science and Law Department, as soon as Zhao Yuer finished her speech, the boys in the classroom started to cheer and agree with her.

Professor Guo's face did not show any joy. After the classroom quieted down, he commented: "The first two difficult words are correct, but the latter is not correct. The second half of my first couplet is "Every day you have time to look at the empty sky", while the second half of your second couplet is "Everyone encounters difficulties and seeks for people's difficulties". The positions of 'empty' and 'difficult' are different."

Huh?

The people who were making a fuss then realized that they were indeed wrong.

Zhao Yuer nodded humbly: "Well, after I said it out loud, I realized it didn't make sense."

"It doesn't matter. The first line of your couplet is indeed difficult. Your second line is already quite neat. It's not easy to come up with this second line," said Professor Guo.

Zhao Yuer nodded and sat down.

"Has anyone else come up with the second line of the couplet?" Professor Guo glanced at the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one raised their hand. It was because the first line of the couplet was too difficult and their brains were not enough.

Qiao Yuncai cleared his throat and raised his hand: "I'll do it."

"Fuck, this fat guy, what is he doing?"

Some boys couldn't help but swear immediately.

Professor Guo took a sip of tea and did not ignore Qiao Yuncai because of his ulterior motives for coming here. When he saw him raise his hand, he motioned for him to stand up and talk.

Qiao Yuncai stood up and said in a loud voice: "Professor Guo, my second line is, drunk with worry and wine, wine with worry and worry, worry and worry without wine and wine with worry and worry."

Oh, right?

This……

All the boys and girls in the classroom were stunned. They didn't expect that this fat guy could actually get the answer right.

Li Tian admired Qiao Yuncai somewhat. He was worthy of being Chu Tianxiong's son. Although he looked like a fool, he actually had real talent and skills.

Professor Guo paused while drinking tea, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he commented: "Not bad, this couplet is right in terms of both sentence structure and rhyme."

"Professor, I told you I'm here to learn Chinese culture. Do you believe me now?" Qiao Yuncai spread his hands.

Everyone: “…”

This fat guy!

Seeing Qiao Yuncai's smug look, the boys were all gritting their teeth. Qiao Yuncai came to the Chinese studies class with his true intentions known to everyone, which was to pursue Zhao Yuer. He could be said to be the public enemy of all boys. His outstanding performance was really frustrating.

But they racked their brains and couldn't come up with a neat second line. They couldn't even suppress Qiao Yuncai, which was the most frustrating thing.

Professor Guo looked at Qiao Yuncai extra hard. He was also surprised that Qiao Yuncai could figure it out.

"Has anyone else come up with a second line? Whether it's neat or not, please share it so we can discuss it together."

He was encouraging his students to answer the questions. He couldn't let a Chinese studies class be outdone by two people from society.

Many people just shake their heads helplessly. It is too difficult to figure it out and their brains are simply not enough.

"Let me do it." Li Tian raised his hand.

When the boys and girls in the classroom saw him raise his hand, they were all very surprised and wondered what was going on today, why two people from society became the protagonists?

Lu Jiao now feels as if she is in a dream and it is not real. Today's Li Tian has overturned her previous perception of him.

"Old Li, have you also thought of the second line?" Qiao Yuncai asked in a low voice.

"I've come up with an idea, but I don't know if it's neat or not."

Li Tian nodded. This time he didn't want to compete with the proud college student, but he wanted to put himself on the same level as Qiao Yuncai. To make friends, you must be on the same level, otherwise you can't make friends.

Although Professor Guo hoped that his students could fight for their reputation, he was also curious about what the second line of the couplet Li Tian, ​​a member of society, came up with. So while drinking tea, he motioned Li Tian to stand up and answer.

Li Tiangan coughed, stood up and said, "Watch the sunset, watch the sunset at sunset, watch the sunset every day."

As soon as Professor Guo finished reading the second line, his hand shook and the thermos cup in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the tea inside spilled everywhere.

The male and female college students in the classroom were also stunned. The second half of this couplet was even neater than the one by Qiao Yuncai just now. Qiao Yuncai's couplet was "Drunk with sorrow and wine, wine makes me drunk with sorrow, sorrow and sorrow are drunk with wine without wine", the second half "sorrow and sorrow without wine" seemed very stiff, as if it was forced on and there was no such saying at all.

However, Li Tian's 'Daily Dusk' is very natural, with an easy transition and simple and clear meaning.

Moreover, 'sun' corresponds to 'sky', and 'dusk' corresponds to 'sky'. Whether it is the rhythm, the prosody, or the relevance, they all match perfectly. This is simply absolute!

Qiao Yuncai was astonished and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Old Li, awesome!"

Lu Jiao was stunned. She found that she didn't know Li Tian anymore.

After Professor Guo came to his senses, he ignored the thermos on the ground and couldn't help but praise: "What a great sunset view, Li Tian, ​​I have a few more couplets here, can you match them?"

He had developed a strong interest in Li Tian. He felt that this young man had an extraordinary level of literary attainment and wanted to find out how high his attainment was.

Li Tian didn't answer.

Qiao Yuncai was the first to say, "Professor Guo, just give the first couplet, and we two brothers will work together to match it." After that, he pulled the corner of Li Tian's clothes and whispered in Li Tian's ear, "This old guy wants to test how deep you are, and he will definitely give you a difficult first couplet to test you. Don't be afraid, we will work together."

Li Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought: It turns out he is still thinking about me.

After thinking for a while, Professor Guo gave the first couplet: "Looking at the river from the river tower, looking at the river flow, looking at the river flow from the river tower, the river tower is eternal, and the river flow is eternal."

This……

The male and female college students in the classroom were dumbfounded. This couplet was even more complicated and difficult to match than the previous one.

The river tower, the river flow, and the view of the river tower, the degree of connection is simply amazing, and the upper couplet has majestic momentum, so the lower couplet must also have it, otherwise it cannot be called a good lower couplet.

It’s too difficult. I can’t figure it out even if I rack my brains!

The male and female college students frowned deeply.
