Chen Shouzhong nodded slightly, and had already taken out the flint and ignited the slender incense stick instantly.

The lighting of the incense stick was like a starting gun, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and immediately buried their heads on the low table, and began to conceive and meditate.

Li Yi also recalled searching his intestines for a long time, although he had seen many couplets of different categories in later generations, but most of them did not match the situation in front of him. What flowers bloom richly, Sanyang Kaitai, what is changing with each passing day, and the five blessings are coming, it is really cheesy.

I can't use such a mediocre couplet to fill the number, not to mention that I also want to get that picture of Han Gan's herding horses, so I have to do my best.

Seeing that someone had already put down his pen, Li Yi suddenly thought of the couplet made by Gu Xian, the leader of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty, who became the Donglin Academy. "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear, the family affairs, the national affairs, the world's affairs, everything is concerned." This couplet is both lyrical and eloquent, and it is also more in line with the identity of the scholars present, and I think it can appeal to the appetite of the public. Thinking of this, Li Yi did not hesitate to write with the help of the pen, and the hard practice of calligraphy in the past few years is always reasonable.

When Li Yi finished writing, he saw that Lu Guangtu not far away was already full of ink, and he was looking left and right comfortably with his legs cocked there, thinking that this guy had finished writing, but he didn't know what his writing was.

The incense sticks have burned to a third of the ground, and there are still four or five people who have not stopped writing, especially Princess Qingyuan, who is sitting diagonally opposite, is frowning and thinking hard, presumably not even the draft has been typed.

Li Yi Shi Shiran stood up and put the written couplet on top of the long case, and a family member standing by the side of the case hurriedly wrote a 'one' above Li Yi's couplet to show that his ranking order was first.

When Lu Guangtu saw it, he hurriedly rushed up with his couplet and said, "Damn! It turns out that there is this kind of exquisiteness, I knew that I would be the first to hand it in, wouldn't it be better to have a lip gloss. Alas! was taken advantage of by Runzhi again. ”

Li Yi smiled silently, Lu Guangtu was followed by people handing in the files, and after a short period of time, the case was already full. At the moment when the incense was about to burn out, Princess Shi Shiran of Qingyuan stood up and handed over the couplet in her hand.

Chen Shouzhong said with a smile: "In this way, everyone has submitted the papers on time. As for who can win the championship as desired, it depends on the judgment of everyone. Oh! A total of twelve personable sons and fifteen beautiful girls, hehe! Since men and women are marked separately, let's start from the men's side, each person has a piece of judgment paper, and writes the labels of the three couplets that you think can be ranked in the top three in turn, and hands them to the Yuanfu housekeeper who is in charge of statistics, and he will screen and count, and the one with the most votes will be the owner of Han Gan's horse herding map. Come! The big guys all came over in turn to appreciate and judge. ”

Li Yi approached the long case, and his own share was on the far left, of course, there was no need to look at it anymore. Next is Lu Guangtu's copy, only to see that it reads, 'Every year Fulu arrives with spring, and every day the source of wealth comes as he pleases', hehe! This guy seems to be crazy about money all day long.

The next one is Zhong Youzhang's, 'The eternal rivers and mountains are splendid, and the sea and sky are brilliant for thousands of years', although the battle is not very appropriate, but it is also quite charming.

Then it's a brief text, 'indifferent life is always wishy, and the ups and downs of the world are not about love', between the lines there is quite a sense of depression, although I can't understand the inside story, it can be regarded as an excellent writing.

Further down is Yuan Zitong, 'smooth sailing, good every year, all the best step by step', this is also the most common couplet in later generations, but in the era when this couplet first began to prevail, it can also be regarded as a boutique.

Further down is Zhong Yunzhang's, 'The green mountains on all sides are splendid, and the green waters of the three rivers are clear and clear', which is not only neat and neat, but also elegant and beautiful, which is really rare.

Further down is Wang Huang's, 'The whole world celebrates the rising sun, and the earth dances with joy and the east wind', which is also quite good.

Further down is Huang Dezhao's, 'The sun is seen at the end of the twilight, and spring is seen after the harsh winter', which is worthy of the Hanlin bachelor's commitment, and this talent is also amazing.

Further down is Zhou Keming's, 'Huan Gongtai can be concerned, and the Guanghan Palace is not cold', although the battle is not very neat, but the artistic conception is far-reaching, and it can be said that it is reasonable.

Further down is Wang Hong's, 'The bright moon in the sky is thousands of miles together, and the spring in the world is the same in Kyushu' can be regarded as a temporary choice.

Further down is Chen Shouzhong, 'Fish and water for a thousand years, Zhilan Baishixiang', not only neat and tidy, but also has a long charm and profound artistic conception, which shows that Chen Shouzhong is by no means a wasted person.

The last is Liang Song's, 'there are poems and books in the belly, comparable to the mountains and rivers, with a sword in the box, and the sun and the moon can compete for glory', after reading this couplet, Li Yi couldn't help but feel heartbroken, this couplet is not only neat and tidy, but also the words and sentences are condensed, magnificent, and it can really be called the best choice.

After everyone appreciated it, there were those who were silent, and some people had begun to arrange their seats in their hearts.

After a short time, the big guys handed over their judgment papers, and Yuan Zitong and the housekeeper carefully screened them several times, and then copied the rankings, stood up and said: "After the joint selection of the big guys, according to the number of votes, the rankings have been discharged." Oh! There should be no objection to the first place. Hehe! Runzhi's 'wind and rain, reading, sound in the ears, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything cares', won 26 votes alone, and won the first place without dispute. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help muttering to himself, there were twenty-seven people in total, and they got twenty-six votes, I don't know who was so blind, they didn't vote for themselves, hehe! It is really difficult to understand that there are still disagrees with this eternal quatrain.

Yuan Zitong continued: "Runzhi's first place is really well deserved! Shanglian integrates the sound of reading and the sound of wind and rain, which is both poetic and profound. Xialian has the ambition of ruling the country and leveling the world. The wind is to the rain, the home is to the country, the ear is to the heart, and it is extremely neat, especially with overlapping words, such as hearing the sound of books. Reading is to serve the country, but also for the people of the world, and the context and artistic conception of Runzhi are very clever! ”

"The second place is Brother Liang's 'belly with poetry and books, comparable to the beauty of mountains and rivers, with a sword in the box, which can compete with the sun and the moon,' also won the second place without dispute, and the number of votes also had 25 votes, which shows that this couplet has resonated with the big guys."

"As for the third place, hehe! I think the competition is still fierce, oh! Yunzhang's is eight votes, Brother Jian's is seven votes, and Shouzhong's is nine votes, well! There were no more votes, and it seems that Brother Shou won third place. Hehe! Congratulations to Shouzhong, I got the Duan Yan of the 'Fairy Cave', and finally got my long-cherished wish. ”
