The matter of pairs was actually a relatively unpopular thing in the Tang Dynasty, and it did not really become popular until the Song and Ming dynasties.

However, poetry itself has something in common with pairs, so the talented people here generally know how to do it.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Wang Jie, the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, is very good at dealing with pairs. You really have to be careful because they deliberately let you play with some absolutes."

Zixia obviously knows more about the situation of these noble disciples than Li Kuan.

Why did Li Tai suddenly propose changing to a pair? Naturally, she knew what the purpose was.

"The right pairs are nothing more than the sky against the earth, the rain against the wind, the continent against the sky, the mountain flowers against the sea trees, and the red sun against the sky. I can make them doubt life even with my eyes closed!"

Li Kuan glanced at Li Tai, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Everyone, be quiet. This couplet doesn't have to be like a poem. Everyone needs to write out the result every time. I just said the first couplet directly, and those who thought of the second couplet stood up and said it loudly.

.Finally, we will select a few good ones to compete with.”

Ouyang Xun continued to stand up on behalf of Xiao Yu and Li Gang to explain the rules for the pair.

Next, without any more nonsense, we started directly!

"Pine leaves, bamboo leaves and green leaves"

Ouyang Xun simply started.

"The sound of autumn geese sounds cold!"

Almost following Ouyang Xun's voice, Wang Jie wrote the second line.

"good!"

"Brother Wang is awesome!"

"It's so wonderful, the pine leaves echo the sound of autumn, and the bamboo leaves echo the sound of wild geese. He is indeed the most talented person in the Wang family!"

There was a burst of applause immediately around Wang Jie, and even Li Kuan turned his head and glanced in surprise: The reaction was fast enough!

"The autumn wind blows the golden water." Ouyang Xun didn't say anything and continued to read the first couplet.

"Nine layers of spring beauty intoxicate the peaches." Wang Jie thought for a moment, and then Li Tai stepped forward and wrote a second couplet.

This level can be said to be very high. No wonder he dared to propose changing to a pair. It seemed that he wanted to overtake in a corner.

However, it was obviously going to fail.

Next, Ouyang Xun continued to answer several pairs, and he got good answers one after another. Li Tai, Wang Jie, Chang Sun Chong, Lu Xuan and others gradually became recognized as good people in pairing.

Ouyang Xun: "When an ancient tree dies, this wood becomes firewood."

Wang Jie: "Green water flows, looking at the river is the bank"

Li Tai: "Good Chang'an, with its outstanding people"

Changsun Chong: "This morning, the moon is the most beautiful."

The atmosphere at the scene slowly rose, and many talented people contributed their answers one after another. However, it was obvious that this time the answer was not that simple. Ouyang Xun also did not continue to read out the next couplet, which meant that there was no answer yet.

A person's answer is in line with his heart.

"Your Majesty, this pair is not simple. It is easy to fall into the trap if you are not careful. The ancient wood together is the word "ku", and the wood together is firewood. I think many people have ignored it." Hongye obviously has no literary attainments.

Qian, although I can't get a satisfactory answer, I can at least see the difficulty of the question clearly.

"My lord, if it were you, what would you do?" Zixia looked at Li Kuan curiously.

Since the beginning of the pairing, Li Kuan has not said an answer yet, making people confused as to what is going on.

"Women are good, girls are especially wonderful." Li Kuan smiled and looked at Hongye and Zixia. This smile actually made the two girls who had seen a lot of the world blush.

Even they themselves don't know why they are blushing.

"My lord, this is a good pairing. The word "good" is for women, and the word "second" is for girls. It is completely consistent with the first couplet." Wang Xuance's eyes lit up, and he felt that his prince was absolutely right.

When Qing'er saw her master coming out, she naturally couldn't wait for a second and immediately said it loudly.

"Okay, very good!" Ouyang Xun is naturally knowledgeable, and it is obvious that Li Kuan's answer is the best.

The most surprising thing is that his pairing is very consistent with the current scene.

Both Li Kuan and Li Kuan were top oirans in Chang'an City. Although by the standards of the Tang Dynasty, describing her as a girl seemed a bit far-fetched, but it was still reasonable.

This is amazing, the second line is not only completely worthy of the first line, but also compliments the girl next to me.

Flirting with girls invisibly!

Next, since he opened his mouth, Li Kuan was no longer polite and answered four or five times in a row.

The key is that after Li Kuan finished the question, others did not dare to say their answers.

Because the difference is so obvious, it would be embarrassing for me to say it.

Ouyang Xun felt that if it continued, it would become Li Kuan's one-man show, so he simply suggested that the best performers stand up and play a few pairs against each other to finally determine a ranking.

"Your Majesty, the rankings of this pair are set according to people. No matter how good you are, Your Majesty, you can only get the first place, and the second and third places can only be given to others. This

It’s very unfair.”

As soon as Qing'er's words came out, Hongye and Zixia were stunned.

This pair of master and servant is really...

"Well, I'm too lazy to waste time with you. I'll just talk about the three top lines. If your bottom line is better than I thought, I will lose."

Li Kuan looked at Li Tai, Wang Jie, Lu Xuan and Changsun Chong who stood up, and was too lazy to argue with them anymore.

I will just sweep over and see if you are convinced or not?

"Second brother, you said this, don't regret it when the time comes!" Li Tai was secretly happy that he finally had a chance to win.

Although Changsun Chong was dissatisfied with Li Kuan, he would never object at this moment.

As for Lu Xuan, he was very graceful and simply acquiesced.

"I will accompany His Highness the King of Chu no matter what he wants to do!" Wang Jie pretended to be a master who is not afraid of you. As for whether he is guilty or not, only he himself knows.

"Listen up! You only have time to burn incense. If you don't answer, I don't have time to wait for you until dawn." Li Kuan looked at several people who were united in dealing with him, and he didn't feel any pressure at all.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Wang Jie's expression changed. "It doesn't require a stick of incense, as long as it's within a cup of tea. If I don't tell the answer, I lose."

Changsun Chong endured it, thinking that it would be better to talk less at this time, and everything would depend on the outcome.

"The wild goose flies from the north to the south, with its wings spread from east to west!" Li Kuan folded his hands in his arms, looking like he was watching a good show.

If I give you a stick of incense and you don’t need the effort, you want results with just a cup of tea?

hehe!

"The six directions of east, west, south, north, up and down are included, this pair is perfect." Li Gang was already very surprised by Li Kuan's performance just now, but he didn't expect that when it was his turn to pose the question, he would be even more surprised.

This should be considered the most difficult pair tonight, right?

Can anyone figure it out right?

Even I couldn't think of a satisfactory answer for a while. Even if I tried one or two, I still felt that they were not worthy of this couplet.
Chapter completed!
