Chapter Sixteen
"If you have apricots, you don't need plums!"
After Lu Guang saw the second couplet written on rice paper, he was a little confused at first, so he didn't quite understand what the meaning of "there are apricots but no plums" meant? Why did it match?
If it weren't for the blue light column just now, Lu Guang might really think that Li Fan was just writing. But now, Lu Guang could only say ashamed in his heart.
Although he was a juren, he was not good at couplets.
"The lotus root is obtained because of lotus, but there are apricots and no plums." After connecting the upper and lower couplets and thinking about it several times, Lu Guang suddenly felt excited. He finally understood the meaning of the upper and lower couplets.
The worries that had been over the past two days were finally wiped out. Lu Guang was a little excited, laughed and said to Li Fan: "Young Master is really quick-witted. The couplet is really wonderful. I dare to ask the young master Daming, Lu is very grateful."
At this moment, the system's voice sounded in Li Fan's mind, "The mission 'The Troubles of Lu Guang, the owner of the Kelai Restaurant, was completed. You can receive rewards, 20 gold coins, 2 spirits, and enable the system mall purchase permission."
Li Fan felt excited, but did not receive the reward immediately. Now is not the time.
After hearing Lu Guang's words, Li Fan replied: "You are polite, Lord Lu. You dare not be a good name. Li Fan, a native of the countryside. Now that the second couplet has been written, the young student will say goodbye."
Li Fan had no objection to Lu Guang. As a juren, it was very rare to be able to do what he has done now.
But now that the mission has been completed, Li Fan does not plan to stay here. Except for a few people, most of them are pretentious people, and Li Fan does not like it.
Lu Guang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Li Fan to say goodbye directly. Li Fan tried his best to write the second couplet. Wasn't it just to get a relationship with him? Now he is in a good mood and is a great opportunity to get a relationship with him. Why did he say goodbye?
I didn't understand it in my heart, but as a juren, Lu Guanggui naturally could not personally try to retain an ordinary young man, so he said, "Since that's the case, please let me know. Lu remembered the couplet written by the young master today."
Even if Lu Guang was not grateful, Li Fan didn't care. He helped Lu Guang just to complete the task.
Now that I could hear it, Lu Guang was a little grateful, so of course it would be best. Li Fan bowed to Lu Guang, and then walked out of the exit of the hall under the gaze of the complex-looking people in the hall.
After Li Fan left, someone in the hall snorted, "Seeking fame! I clearly wanted to flatter Lord Lu, but I deliberately made a gesture that was not like this. It was just a desire to indulge in love."
"Not bad! If you don't want to curry favor with Lord Lu, why bother to write the second couplet? Do you really think we are blind and can't see his tricks?"
"It's just that I'm lucky enough to get the second couplet. I really think I have a lot of talent. I'm really talented, but I won't even get to this age and not even a child student."
"It's just a person who seeks fame! By the way, what is his second couplet?"
“…”
"Are you seeking fame and reputation?" Lu Guang recalled the way Li Fan looked when he just walked out of the hall. He was not sure whether Li Fan was really a person who wanted fame and reputation as someone said in the hall.
But one thing is certain, Li Fan’s second couplet is not just luck.
"Show the second couplet to everyone." Lu Guang said to the girl who had been by the side but had not left.
The girl agreed and raised the second couplet to show it to everyone.
"If you have apricots, you don't need plums? What does this mean? If you are both 'accents' and 'plum', why did you meet it? Tiandao.com will not make a mistake this time, right?" a voice muttered.
Many people also have the same thoughts. However, they also know that Tiandao.com cannot make a mistake. But what does this mean?
Lu Guang sighed softly in his heart. These guys said that they were just lucky to get the second couplet, but now they saw the second couplet and still couldn't figure out what it meant.
"You might as well connect the upper and lower connections and think about them a few more times, and you may understand what it means." Lu Guang said.
After a while, someone finally realized it and said, "So that's it, so that's it, this second couplet is really right..."
The voice came to an abrupt end. The man wanted to say that the second couplet was really perfect, but when he thought of the previous scene, he swallowed the words back.
"Brother Liu, have you figured it out? What does it mean?"
"Oh! In the first couplet of the sentence "There is lotus root" is "there is lotus root" and "there is lotus root" is "there is lotus root". That is, "there is why the result is something?" This is the lady of the Xu family asking Mr. Lu, "Why can you get me and let me be your wife?"
"Is this...that's what it means? What about the second couplet?"
"'If you have apricot, you don't need plums', there are also two false words. 'axe' is connected to "happiness", and 'mei' is connected to "media". That is to say, if you are lucky, you don't need a matchmaker anymore. Our fate is destined by God. Alas! I have to admit that this couplet is really right..."
After such an explanation, everyone in the hall also understood.
At this time, they finally understood what the first couplet meant. The first couplet was indeed related to the fact that Lu An came to propose marriage.
I have to say that the first couplet of Miss Xu’s family is very clever.
Of course, the second couplet is even more wonderful. But the people at the scene are never willing to admit this.
Lu Guang sighed, "Now do you still think that the young master just spoke the second couplet, just for luck?"
Everyone in the hall was silent.
Of course, it’s not just luck. To get the second couplet, you have to figure out the meaning of the first couplet. This cannot be understood by luck alone.
After a while, someone said, "Just think he is quite quick-witted. But no matter what, he is a person who is just acquiring fame and cannot escape this."
"Yes, that kid is just pretending. But he just made a couplet and really thought he had learned a lot."
"I'm really talented and knowledgeable, but I won't be just an ordinary person yet. That boy is called Li Fan, right? Okay, I remember this person."
“…”
"Are you seeking fame? Maybe." Lu Guang shook his head, bowed to everyone, and said, "Thank you again for coming to participate in this rally organized by Lu. Next, everyone will continue to have someone to entertain, and Lu will say goodbye first."
Everyone stood up and bowed and said, "You are polite, Lord Lu, please go slowly."
Then, Lu Guang and several juren left, and everyone in the hall continued to talk. The content of the conversation was more or less related to Li Fan.
Wang Jin sneered at Yuan Hongzhong and said, "That kid is smart and thinks that this will deepen the weight in Lord Lu's heart. Little do he know that his method of playing hard to get can be seen clearly by everyone. It's so stupid!"
Yuan Hongzhong also sneered and said, "Brother Wang, isn't this good?"
Wang Jin said: "It's really good. But he, an ordinary boy, dares to show off in front of so many of us, which is really unhappy!"
Yuan Hongzhong said: "It's really unpleasant. If you have another chance in the future, you must teach that boy a good lesson."
Wang Jin said: "This is natural. When I was in Yuanxi Village today, I didn't plan to make things difficult for him. But now he wants to show off himself, but I can't blame me."
...
Boys, do you have any recommendation votes?
If not, I'll ask again in the next chapter.
