Chapter 20 Ancient Classic Couplets



Qiao Diyi heard what Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking, so he suggested, "Just now everyone ran to the direction of Caifeng Building, Brother Shen, Big Brother, why don't we go and take a look too?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately grabbed Qiao Diyi's clothes tightly, with an excited look on her face.

[My second brother really understands me! Could he be the worm in my stomach? ]

Qiao Diyi: “…”

I am sorry but I am not interested.

When the prince heard the name "Brother Shen", he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth again.

No one has ever called him like this in his life, it's so strange.

I heard that the second son of the Qiao family is a martial arts expert, but he is such a straightforward person and has no idea how to lead troops in battle.

If he could learn some of the true teachings from Censor Qiao, he would definitely become a powerful general of the Yong Dynasty in the future!

"Then let's go and take a look together. This year's Spring Examination is about to begin. There are many talented people in the capital at this time, so it must be very lively."

Now that the prince had spoken, the group headed towards the Caifeng Tower.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked around and thought:

[There are indeed many talented people in the capital at this time, but tonight all of them will be overshadowed by one person! ]

Qiao Tianjing was surprised when he heard this. Could it be that Meng Guxue was so powerful?

Qiao Jiaojiao was still thinking to herself:

[After all, Meng Guxue possesses the wisdom of five thousand years of Chinese history, and just reciting a few poems is enough to make everyone drop their jaws.]

Qiao Tianjing was secretly shocked when he heard this. Although he had already learned from his younger sister that Meng Guxue was now a soul from another world, he did not know that her origin had such a profound cultural heritage.

[It’s best not to let Prince Jing see Meng Guxue who is so radiant, otherwise the two of them will really fall in love. ]

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he and Qiao Diyi looked at each other, and both of them secretly became cautious.

Soon, the Caifeng Tower decorated with lights and colors came into view in the distance.

The palace guards surrounded them and quickly cleared a path for them through the crowd.

Qiao Jiaojiao and her group came to the front of the crowd.

In front of me was a makeshift stage covered with a red cloth, with only a table, a chair and one person on it.

The man sitting on the chair had white hair on his temples and a long beard that reached down to his Adam's apple, looking like an old scholar.

There was an exquisite first line of a couplet hanging next to him, and no one had yet come up with the second line.

Qiao Jiaojiao only took one look and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[As expected of an ancient romance novel, classic couplets must have a place! 】

Qiao Tianjing was an extremely learned man, and was once a famous scholar in the capital. After reading the first couplet, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with interest.

There was something written on the red paper: Wangjiang Tower, looking at the river flow, looking at the river flow from the Wangjiang Tower, the Jiang Tower will last forever, and the river flow will last forever.

[Hey, isn’t this the famous couplet handed down from the Wangjiang Tower? Well, this is a free point question for the heroine. ]

[I remember the second line: Yinyuejing, Yinyueying, Yinyueying in Yinyuejing, Yinyueying for ten thousand years, Yinyueying for ten thousand years. Haha, I have a really good memory! ]

Qiao Tianjing savored it carefully and nodded in approval.

Qiao Diyi: “…”

What's with the word "井" and "影"? It's so pedantic and boring!

[Where is the heroine? Let me see where she is! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were rolling around.

Qiao Tianjing suddenly had an idea, so the second line that his younger sister just gave was the answer that Meng Guxue would give?

Meng Guxue wanted to use this opportunity to become famous and establish a relationship with the Second Prince, and then the two of them would join forces to harm the entire Qiao family?

There is no such good thing in the world!

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing signaled Qiao Diyi to keep an eye on Qiao Jiaojiao, and he quickly squeezed into the crowd.

The prince noticed Qiao Tianjing's departure, but didn't think much about it.

On this side, the people in the audience murmured for a long time, but still could not come up with a satisfactory second line.

On the other side of the red stage, Meng Guxue was protected by several maids. Her eyes were shining and she looked confident.

Who could have thought that she just happened to know the second line of the couplet, which made the talented men in Beijing scratch their heads!

However, she is in no rush to go on stage.

She just wanted to wait until everyone was helpless, and until Gu Qianshan announced that no one could match this pair, and then stand out like a goddess descending from heaven!

By then, all the talented people in the capital will bow down to her literary talent!

If she recited a few more lines of ancient poetry, wouldn't they be convinced and worship her as the most talented woman in the capital!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

This is the unique advantage of a time-traveling woman, no one can compare to it!

“Let me try!”

At this time, a loud shout came from the crowd.

Meng Guxue's heart trembled when he heard this. No one could figure it out, right?

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd took the initiative to let the person out. He was a young man in linen clothes.

Although the young man was dressed simply, he had bright eyes and looked handsome and extraordinary.

On the stage, Mr. Gu nodded at him and said, "Come up, right?"

The young man walked up to the red stage step by step and bowed respectfully to Mr. Gu.

"I am Tan Hanchi from Zhuozhou. I am sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you, sir."

Mr. Gu stroked his beard and shook his head, "No need to be polite, just start writing."

Tan Hanchi walked to the table, picked up the pen and started writing.

Just as everyone was whispering and looking forward to it, Qiao Tianjing came back.

His eyes were bright and there was a hint of smile on his face.

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard the name Tan Hanchi, she was shocked.

[Ah? So Tan Hanchi appeared so early? He is a big shot! ]

[Don't underestimate him now because he is just a scholar. In fact, he is very talented, brave and resourceful. He is very powerful! ]

[He was a victim of cheating in this year's spring exam. Not only was his test paper replaced by someone else's, but the other party also wanted to assassinate him in order to silence him! ]

[Prince Jing accidentally saved him, and from then on he had a loyal top strategist. Many of Prince Jing's strategies and tactics in the later period were thought up by him! ]

[This person is too powerful, he must not be left to Prince Jing! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao was so anxious. Why couldn't she be reincarnated a few years earlier so that she could speak now!

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing looked fixedly at Tan Hanchi who was calmly writing on the stage.

If his little sister hadn't revealed it to him, he would never have imagined that the scholar in front of him was so powerful!

The Second Prince's luck is so good that he could accidentally save such an outstanding person. It's as if God is helping him!

However, now that they have the younger sister's advance knowledge, they will never sit and wait for death again.

This Tan Hanchi, the Qiao family has reserved it first!

Just as Qiao Tianjing thought of this, Tan Hanchi also put down his pen.

He respectfully handed the red couplet to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu lowered his eyes and glanced at it, then nodded softly, "That's right."

Hearing Mr. Gu's approval, everyone instantly became curious.

There were seven or eight people in front who mustered up the courage to come up with the second line, but Mr. Gu was not satisfied with any of them. This was the only one that was recognized.

When Meng Guxue saw this from the audience, her heart skipped a beat.

No way? Could it be that Tan Hanchi got there first?

But no one else could know the second line except her, a time traveler!

Unless... unless this Tan Hanchi is also a time traveler!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue's face suddenly turned pale.
