Second Emperor Li, Fang Xuanling, and even Zhangsun Wuji all thought that they were intelligent people.
However, they did not expect that the first half of the couplet that even they could not match would be matched by someone else.
Looking at the ordinary-looking man who had stepped forward to receive the ten strings of money reward, the three of them felt their faces heat up slightly.
His Majesty Li Er coughed awkwardly.
" Ahem," he sighed." I didn't expect there to be so many crouching tigers and hidden dragons among the people of Chang 'an."”
Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji nodded in agreement.
On the other hand, Li Lizhi, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and the other kids who had been standing beside them didn't have such thoughts.
Feeling the lively atmosphere, he was so happy that he didn't know where he was. He was so excited that he kept shouting.
The couplet segment of the Longevity Restaurant had already reached the fourth stage, which was the one with twenty strings.
When the red silk was pulled open, there was a couplet on it: idle, I watch the wood in the gate.
"Hiss, it's indeed the first half of the twenty strings. It's getting harder and harder.”
"Look at that 'leisure' word, after opening it, isn't it a 'door' and a 'wood' word?"”
"Do you even need to say that? I've already seen through it. The key is that the second half is not good!”
Seeing the first half of the couplet, everyone started discussing.
With the couplets from Yiguan Qian as a foundation, these people were already familiar with the rules of couplets.
However, this couplet had a further change on the ordinary couplet.
In such a short time, who could match it?
Second Emperor Li and the others, who had just been exclaiming about the 'crouching tigers and hidden dragons', also looked at each other.
"How did this brat come up with these strange couplets?
I don't believe that anyone can even match this first half of the couplet.”
After saying this, Second Emperor Li was a little angry.
After all, he had spent three days…
Cough, and then, with everyone's wisdom, they came up with the last couplet worth ten taels of gold.
If someone else couldn't match the first half of the couplet, wouldn't they have no chance to start the last segment today?
Just as Second Emperor Li was in a dilemma, another ordinary voice sounded not far from him.
"I'm idle, watching the wood in the door, I'm thinking about the field in my heart.”
When Second Emperor Li looked to the side, he saw another ordinary-looking man and walked forward.
When this person took the 20 strings.
Whether it was Second Emperor Li, Fang Xuanling, or Zhangsun Wuji.
Instantly, their old faces turned red.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly. There were too many experts in matching pairs among the common people!
Fortunately, although his face was red, Second Emperor Li was a little excited.
After all, the next pair would be the time for him to accept ten taels of gold.
"When that little rascal sees that it's me who came up with this second half of the couplet, I wonder if he'll be shocked? Haha!"
Second Emperor Li looked over there with bright eyes, waiting for the waiter to remove the red silk.
Fortunately, the waiter did not delay and removed the cover above.
The first half of the couplet, which was worth 100 strings of strings, was finally revealed.
After seeing the first half of the couplet, Li Er didn't know how others felt.
Anyway, he was already overjoyed.
Because the first half of the couplet was 'the sound of wind, rain, reading, the sound of the ear.'
"Hahahaha, that brat cheated me of two paintings, so I will also cheat you.”
His Majesty Li Er smiled brightly.
Zhangsun Wuji tugged at his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, we can't waste any more time. Be careful not to delay or something might happen!"”
Second Emperor Li was shocked and instantly woke up.
Judging from the situation just now, there were really too many hidden dragons in the surrounding group.
If he had waited a moment longer, who knew if someone would have come up with the second half of the couplet first.
Then wouldn't all his hard work and effort for two to three days be for nothing in the end?
At the thought of this, Second Emperor Li did not dare to get carried away. He quickly said loudly,
"I got it. The second line is 'Family, State, and World Affairs, I care about everything'!”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the expression on his face became colorful.
It turned out that at the same time he shouted the second half of the couplet.
Not far from him, another ordinary-looking man shouted the second half of the couplet almost in unison.
However, the second half of their couplet was exactly the same, without a single word missing!
Second Emperor Li and the man looked at each other. Both of them were in a daze.
The person who was even more confused was Du He, who was standing in front.
"What happened? Didn't they only arrange for one stooge for each couplet?
Why did he fail at the most crucial part?”
At the thought of this, he glared at the two 'shills' in the crowd in displeasure.
This glare gave him a fright.
He saw that one of the two 'shill' positions was indeed someone he had arranged.
But the other one…
Cough cough, the other person who came up with the second half of the couplet was the current emperor, Li Shimin.
When Du He saw the three little fellows next to Li Shiming.
He more or less understood what was going on.
"This guy must have learned the first half of the couplet from Chang Le and then spent some time to come up with the second half.
And then he purposely waited until this moment to say it, just to cheat me of my ten taels of gold.
Unfortunately, this young master was wrong and instantly reduced the losses by half.”
Thinking of this, Du He said loudly,"Since there are two people who can match this couplet at the same time."
Moreover, the second half of the couplet was exactly the same, so the two of them would split the ten taels of gold equally!”
The onlookers had no objections to his decision.
Second Emperor Li naturally had no objections.
He even walked forward and took the five taels of gold.
However, when he wanted to see the person who took the other half of the reward.
After receiving the gold, the other party directly disappeared into the crowd.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
The prize segment had already ended, so there was naturally no reason to block the entrance of the restaurant.
Some of the customers who were attracted to the restaurant walked into the restaurant.
Du He walked in front of Second Emperor Li and asked in a low voice.
Second Emperor Li proudly tossed the gold in his hand.
"I still want to see what that person looks like."
The second half of the couplet he came up with just now was actually exactly the same as the one I came up with. It was really too coincidental.”
Du He, who was beside him, had a strange expression.
He thought, How could it be unfortunate? If it wasn't for this coincidence, you old man would still want to cheat me of five taels of gold?
