"The Empress Dowager's mother praises me falsely. The moon is not worthy." Wu Yueer blushed and bowed her head.
She is very smart, and knows that to win the top prize, she must first attract the attention of the emperor.
Sure enough, this conversation with empress dowager Zhou attracted not only the envious and envious eyes of the girls, but also the emperor's glance in her direction.
Wu yue'er's heart is pounding, her face is more and more red, like a charming rose.
The girls can't help thinking, ah, she is really beautiful. Even the Empress Dowager praises her beauty, and the emperor will surely like her.
But how can all the girls guess the Empress Dowager's mind?
Just when the girls thought that the Empress Dowager of Zhou would decide Wu Yueer for the emperor, the Empress Dowager actually changed the topic with a smile.
"The AI family thought that the Yixin pavilion was good everywhere, but it lacked a pair of couplets. So they asked the most learned scholar in the Imperial Academy to write a pair of couplets for the Yixin Pavilion. However, he only wrote a pair of upper couplets, but he racked his brains and couldn't write the second couplet. Isn't it a pity that the couple have no couplets? Therefore, the AI family had no choice but to ask the girls if there was anyone who could help the AI family solve this problem and come out with a couplet? All of you are the most famous talented women in Kyoto. I'm sure you won't let AI Jia down? "
The witty humor of her words made all the girls laugh, and her heart was more intimate with empress dowager Zhou.
They all know in their heart that the Empress Dowager is going to start to test their talents and learning. All of a sudden, they all have a spirit of 12 points.
"The Empress Dowager's wife, please say the first couplet. I'm willing to have a try to relieve the Empress Dowager's worries." Some of the girls plucked up their courage and said boldly.
Empress Dowager Zhou said with a smile, "OK, Su Jin, take the couplet and show it to all the girls."
"Empress Dowager."
Su Jin opened the brocade box that had been ready by the side, took out a pair of scroll, and slowly opened it.
All the girls were refreshed and looked at the scroll together.
I saw the handwriting on the scroll flowing freely, silver hook iron strokes, strong and powerful, everyone felt a bright, good word, good word!
When the scroll is all unfolded, the first couplet suddenly catches people's eyes.
"If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there is fish in the water, it will be fishing; if there is water, there will be rivers and lakes."
Girls at first glance at this couplet, heart is a joy, secretly think: this couplet what is difficult, very easy to right.
When you open your mouth, you have to face it out.
But when I think about it carefully, I don't think it's right.
The first couplet seems easy, but it is extremely difficult to find out. The whole couplet is closely linked with the word "water", especially the last five words. There is a water in the capital of the three sides of rivers and lakes, and the three water forms a Miao character.
Ah! What a tough couple!
No wonder even the great scholars of Hanlin academy can't make the second couplet!
The girls began to think about it. Some looked up at the white clouds in the sky, some looked down at the brook outside, some wrinkled their eyebrows, some twisted their hands
The Empress Dowager Zhou's smiling eyes flitted over the girls' faces again.
She knew that although the couplet was extremely difficult, it was not absolute. As long as she had a good mind and a quick mind, she could make it.
Among them, she hopes the most is Xia Yuyan, the daughter of grand master Xia. If anyone can get this pair, the first one is Xia Yuyan.
