"The lotus root is obtained because of lotus." It is obvious that the word "lotus root" in "lotus root" is taken from the first couplet produced by Xu Yuan.

Everyone in the hall suddenly realized that they finally understood why this gathering was called the "Hero Lotus Club"?

I also understood that the purpose of Lu Guang organized this rally was to hope that someone could express the second couplet. Although the second couplet was not Lu An personally and Xu Yuan might not be satisfied, this marriage should be successful.

The premise is that someone in the hall can get the second couplet.

The second couplet is one of the favorite things that literati like to do when gathering. Poetry couplets have been very popular since ancient times, and it is no exception now.

Not to mention literati, even ordinary people like poetry and couplets.

Now, after knowing the purpose of today's gathering, almost everyone in the hall was interested in the couplet, including those who realized that today's helping Lu Guang solve the problem may plant a thorn in Lu Guang's heart.

But what does the first couplet written by Xu Yuan mean?

Everyone in the hall frowned.

If you want to get the second couplet, you must first understand what the first couplet means. The first couplet posted by Xu Yuan should be related to the fact that Lu An came to propose marriage.

Almost everyone can think of this.

It is precisely because of the idea that everyone doesn’t understand what the first line means?

Literally speaking, it is said that because there are lotus flowers, I got lotus roots, which is easy to understand.

But what does this have to do with Luan coming to propose marriage?

To figure out the relationship between the two is obviously the key to the second link.

Everyone was frowning, thinking about the relationship between the two in their hearts, only Li Fan looked relaxed and drank tea leisurely.

The moment he saw the first couplet, Li Fan felt relieved and knew that this task would definitely be completed.

Because, he knew that this couplet appeared in his previous life.

During the Ming Dynasty, there was a minister named Cheng Minzheng who was a genius and was called a child prodigy since childhood.

When he was twenty years old, he took the imperial examination and was on the Dragon and Tiger List, and passed the second place in the first place, becoming the youngest Jinshi at that time.

Li Xian, the Minister of Personnel, intends to recruit Cheng Minzheng as his son-in-law. Once, when he was having dinner with Cheng Minzheng, he pointed to a plate of lotus root on the table and wrote a couplet.

It is this sentence "I get lotus root because of lotus".

Li Fan was delighted that the task this time was indeed not very difficult.

At this time, Lu Guang said: "I believe everyone already knows at this time that Lu's intention to invite everyone to come this time. Lu will no longer be pretentious. If someone can come up with a reasonable second couplet, Lu is willing to owe him a favor."

When everyone in the hall heard this, they were even more moved. The favors of a juren are definitely hard to come by. Including those who thought that they might plant a thorn in Lu Guang's heart, they were also a little moved after weighing the pros and cons.

However, everyone can never understand the meaning of the first couplet, and there is no way to talk about the second couplet.

Lu Guang looked at the people frowning and thinking in the hall, sighed softly, and said to the juren around him: "I hope someone can tell the second couplet."

He had given up his face and held this lotus root party. If he didn't get the second couplet like this, it would be certain that the marriage would not be successful. In addition, Xu Fu would definitely be sneered, which was unacceptable.

Li Fan looked around, stood up, bowed to Lu Guang's position, and said, "Mr. Lu, maybe I've already drawn the second couplet."

Since he already knew the second couplet, Li Fan was not ready to delay any further, but took the initiative.

If he doesn't take the lead, if someone asks others to issue the second link first, his task will not be completed.

Although other people are unlikely to issue the lower couplet in a short period of time, just in case.

As soon as Li Fan said, everyone, including Lu Guang, looked at Li Fan at the first time. After seeing Li Fan wearing an ordinary piece of clothing, he was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

Except for one person.

That person Li Fan knew, Wang Jin, who was the scholar who went to Yuanxi Village to perform a mission today but did not complete the mission in the end.

When Wang Jin saw Li Fan, he was shocked and confused, "How could he be here? It is impossible for him, an ordinary person, to receive invitations. How did he come in without invitations?"

Others think that Li Fan has a literary position, so the reason why he does not wear a straight robe with a flowing cloud pattern is just because he likes to wear ordinary clothes.

Only Wang Jin knew that Li Fan was just an ordinary person.

When I was in Yuanxi Village today, Li Fan's expression calmly made Wang Jin very dissatisfied. However, because Li Fan was very young and a student, he did not show his dissatisfaction very clearly.

In addition, the mission of the trip to Yuanxi Village has not been completed today, Wang Jin was always very annoyed. Now that he saw Li Fan appearing here, he said that he had published the second couplet. Wang Jin was surprised and confused, but he was even more disliked when he saw Li Fan.

An ordinary person came in and couldn't wait to say that he had written the second couplet. The purpose was already very obvious, that is, to curry favor with Lu Guang, a scholar.

Regardless of whether the second couplet is reasonable or not, at least he showed his face in front of Lu Guang, which also gave Lu Guang a feeling of actively doing things for him, and maybe it left a good impression in Lu Guang's heart.

It's a good plan.

When I was in Yuanxi Village today, I didn’t curry favor with him, Wang Jin, but now I try every means to sneak in and curry favor with Lu Guang. Isn’t this obviously because I disliked him as a scholar enough?

An ordinary student actually disliked his identity as a scholar. This is the biggest joke Wang Jin has ever seen so far, and it also makes him feel the most unhappy. The more he thinks about it, the more unhappy he feels.

He never thought that Li Fan really made the second couplet. In his opinion, Li Fan just wanted to attract Lu Guang's attention in this way. Anyway, even if the second couplet is incorrect, it would be nothing, and Lu Guang would not be angry about it.

Wang Jin sneered in his heart, "How can I let you get what you want?"

Next to Wang Jin is a scholar in his thirties, with a slightly fat body. This person is named Yuan Hongzhong, and he met Wang Jin.

Wang Jin whispered to Yuan Hongzhong for a while. Yuan Hongzhong became more and more happy the more he heard it, and said, "Brother Wang is serious?"

Wang Jin said: "It's true."

Yuan Hongzhong said: "That kid is a good plan, but unfortunately he never thought that Brother Wang is here. Brother Wang, if we reveal the true face of that kid in front of Lord Lu, we might leave a good impression on Lord Lu. To be honest, I will definitely not be sorry for this couplet. But I didn't expect that I have such an opportunity now. Thank you, Brother Wang."

Wang Jin laughed in a low voice and said, "Brother Yuan, be polite."

Lu Guang didn't expect that someone would come out of the second couplet so soon, and said to Li Fan with some joy: "Young Master has come out of the second couplet so quickly, and he is really quick-witted. I also asked you to write the second couplet. If it really matches it, Lu is very grateful."

After Lu Guang finished speaking, a girl took paper and pen in front of the lobby service desk and walked towards Li Fan.

At this time, Yuan Hongzhong saw that the time had come, so he stood up, bowed to Li Fan, and said loudly: "This brother Tai wrote the second couplet in such a short time. It's really admirable. I wonder who brother Tai is? Tong Sheng or scholar?"
