Moxiangzhai, also known as Moxiang Garden, is located next to Qingyun Academy, the first academy other than the Imperial College. It is a place for literati to hold poetry gatherings and for dignitaries to enjoy flowers and feast.
Jiang Yueyang and Xu Zheng followed Kong Jijiu into Moxiangzhai, which was filled with colorful flowers and was a beautiful sight.
At this time, there were already many literati, invited students, and famous scholars in the courtyard.
Jiang Yueyang saw people holding their own poems and asking for comments, some were playing poetry, some were painting on the spot, some were drinking tea and reminiscing about the past, some were chatting about everything, and some...
Kong Jijiu said, "I have to go see some old friends first. Do you want to come with me?"
"Yes." Xu Zheng answered hurriedly.
"I won't go."
Seeing that Jiang Yueyang was not leaving, Xu Zheng thought it was not good to leave her alone, so he wanted to ask to stay with her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueyang seemed to know what he was going to say and spoke first.
"My brother is there. I'll go play with him. You guys can go ahead and don't worry." Jiang Yueyang raised his hand and pointed to a pavilion.
Kong Jijiu nodded and said, "Stay beside your brother and don't run around. Be careful not to get bumped into by others."
"Hmm?" Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean by offering wine? Could there be a pervert here?"
"Not all men of letters are gentlemen. Besides, you are now dressed as a man, so people who are not particular about details won't pay much attention to you."
Jiang Yueyang nodded, "I understand. I will be careful."
Afterwards, Kong Jijiu took Xu Zheng away, and Jiang Yueyang also walked towards the pavilion where her brother was as she said.
Because the Saint of Literature and the Saint of Painting required that those who participated in the poetry meeting were not allowed to bring servants, Qingzhi and his companions could only hide in the dark.
"Brother." Jiang Yueyang shouted in a low voice.
Several students who were gathered together doing something looked up when they heard the voice, including Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun recognized Jiang Yueyang at a glance and asked in surprise: "Yang... why are you here?"
"Mr. Kong...Mr. Kong brought me here."
At this time, someone asked: "Brother Jiang, who is this?"
"She is my...brother."
Someone was puzzled, "I remember Brother Jiang said that you only have one sister, how come..."
"Cousin."
"Oh, it's my cousin."
Someone couldn't help but praise: "Brother Jiang's cousin is really handsome, even more stunning than Brother Jiang."
Jiang Yueyang was about to say something modest when he heard someone say with a dagger hidden in his smile: "Brother Jiang is very knowledgeable, so this cousin must be very knowledgeable as well. We are playing a couplet, why don't we have a discussion?"
"I am not talented and my knowledge is average. I am afraid I cannot learn from you."
"Young Master, since you are able to enter this Moxiangzhai, how can you be a person of mediocre knowledge? Don't you think that we are not worthy of learning from you?"
The system, which originally felt bored, became excited immediately after hearing these explosive words.
[Host, this person must be at odds with your brother and is deliberately picking on you to embarrass you.]
[I heard it.]
Everyone's faces were filled with confusion and confusion; the female voice just now seemed to have come from Brother Jiang's cousin.
But... he didn't open his mouth to speak!
Also, who made the other voice?
The system shouted excitedly: [Host, kill him! Let him know that you are not easy to mess with! ]
【You come. 】
[Host, are you trying to give in? Wouldn't that bring shame to your brother? ]
[I don’t want to give in, but I can’t make a pair! ]
After hearing this, everyone present was certain that the female voice came from Jiang Yueyang.
But, isn't he a man?
Suddenly, someone suddenly thought of something. It turned out that she was...
When the person who had just provoked Jiang Yueyang heard that Jiang Yueyang revealed that she couldn't make couplets, his mind was full of ways to make Jiang Yueyang look bad, and he completely ignored why Jiang Yueyang could speak without opening his mouth.
"Young Master, you are silent. It seems that you really look down on us." The provocative person fanned the flames, "Brother Jiang is the top scorer in the gold exam. I understand that he disdains to compete with us, but I didn't expect that his cousin is also so arrogant."
Jiang Yueyang could tolerate others talking about her, but she couldn't tolerate others talking about her brother, so she snorted coldly.
"It is really rude of you to be so aggressive, young master."
The provocative person wanted to retort, but Jiang Yueyang did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "But I never bother to argue with villains, so as not to lose my status.
It's just a discussion of couplets, I agreed. Just tell me, how do you want to discuss?"
The provocative person stopped pretending and snorted, "You and I will give each other a pair. If they match, we can continue. If they don't match, you lose."
"Okay, who goes out first?"
"I'll let you go first, so that others won't say I'm bullying you."
Jiang Yueyang sneered, "Young Master is very confident. I hope you can remain so confident later."
Several people present: ??? Didn’t she just say that she couldn’t make a couplet? Why is she so confident?
The person who provokes you snorted in his heart and let you vent your anger with your words first.
The system was puzzled, [Host, didn't you say you couldn't make couplets? Aren't you afraid of getting slapped in the face later if you say that? ]
[I don't know how to make serious couplets, but I can make informal ones! ]
Everyone present was puzzled. Are there any improper couplets?
Jiang Yueyang cleared his throat and said, "Listen carefully, sir. My pair is "PhD students, postgraduate students, undergraduate students, and endless life."
When this couplet came out, all the students present were confused. What kind of couplet is this?
What are those raw things and what are they?
Jiang Yueyang looked at the provocative person with a smile, "Please come in, sir."
The provocative person frowned and thought for a while before his eyes lit up, "Peony, crape myrtle, magnolia, all flowers are charming."
The system said with regret: [Host, although this person's answer is a little disappointing, he is still right.]
[As expected, those who can come to participate in the poetry reading have some knowledge. ]
The provocative person looked smug, "It's my turn now."
Jiang Yueyang made a gesture of invitation.
"The red plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow."
When the system heard this pair, it asked worriedly: [Host, can you do it? ]
[Don't make any noise, I'm thinking. ]
Jiang Yueyang thought secretly in her heart that couplets mainly consist of nouns matching nouns, verbs matching verbs, and matching artistic conception.
This person used the noun red plum, the verb proud of the snow and the quantifier thousand branches and gorgeousness. Combined with the artistic conception, I should be right about red plum...
Time passed little by little, and the person who provoked her saw that she was still not up to par, and looked like a smug villain.
"If you can't make it, you can admit defeat."
Jiang Xun glared at the person who provoked him, and his eyes, which had originally been calm, were now filled with anger.
"Since you like to learn from others so much, why not learn from me now?"
The people present saw this tense situation and couldn't help but glance at each other, wondering if they should stop it.
Just when someone was about to speak up to smooth things over, Jiang Yueyang said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother. I haven't lost yet."
Jiang Yueyang looked at the provocative person and said, "Listen carefully, my second line is..."
ps: Babies, you may want to compare yours and see how they compare with mine.
