Chapter 1171 : Evenly matched
My dad sighed, "What if you continue to fight like this, what if you win or lose?"
My mother gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, since it's a battle, there will be bets. If I win today, I will leave Dadu. It's better to meet you and retire to the mountains and forests for you to have a happy and happy life?" My father knew that my mother was angry, but my mother gritted her teeth and felt a little scared, so she said, "If you win, what should I do?"
My mother chuckled and said, "If I win, you will abandon these three women and return to Jiangnan with me. From then on, you will retreat to the mountains and forests and not leave me a little. Can you do it?"
I said that my father has a friendship with my second, third and fourth mother. It is because he has stayed in Dadu to study hard for the past five years, and he is eager to be the top scorer in high school and let him go back to Jiangnan with my mother. It is not what he wants. He now wants to surpass my mother.
Both of them are all talented, and they are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, and music. The previous piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting could not compare the winners and loses, so they continued to compare the winners and the two of them, but after a comparison, they learned the winners and loses. My father just lost the poem, and soon my mother lost to the “fu”. The two of them went back and forth, and I went back and forth, and the poems, songs, and music were compared one by one, but they still couldn’t compare the winners and the winners and the winners and the winners and the winners and the winners and the winners and the others were “against the winners and the others”?
"What a wonderful battle, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to see it with my own eyes?" Xiao Yun sighed, becoming more interested in the victory or defeat of the two.
On this day, the two of them fought from early morning to dusk. Seeing the setting sun, my father said, "I'm afraid it's difficult to decide the outcome in this battle? Why not give up?"
These words were originally my father's words of surrender so that my mother would not make unreasonable troubles. Then I knew that my mother had already made up her mind to let my father return to Jiangnan with her, stay by her side wholeheartedly, ignore my father's hard persuasion, and insist on deciding the outcome?"
In fact, my mother's intention is well understood in my heart, and I was extremely moved by her hard work, but I always couldn't bear to let him go if he wanted to abandon the second, third and fourth grandmother, and the imperial examinations. I didn't know what to do for the time being.
My mother was very determined. After some thought, she remembered a popular couplet called couplet or couplet. This couplet was originally a pair of scholars. When she was free, she wrote on paper, cloth or carved on bamboo, wood, and pillars. The words were concise and profound, with neat parallelism, coordinated tone, the words were the same, the words were the same, the structure was the same, but different from poetry. It was only the first couplet and the second couplet were generally more refined than poetry, and the sentences were more flexible, long or short, and stretched freely. Couplets could be four-character, five-character, six-character, seven-character, eight-character, nine-character, or ten-character, dozens of words. It was very popular in Jiangnan. Although my mother had not taken a step here, she also heard from her brothers who came to visit on weekdays. When she was free, she also discussed with each other and was very familiar with this couplet.
My mother wanted to win back my dad, so she wanted to use this couplet to determine the outcome.
My mother thought that this city was a wild land of the Tartars, so she didn't know how to deal with it, so she said to my father: "The victory and defeat today must be divided no matter what. Since poetry and songs cannot determine the victory and defeat, you have no good way, so use my method to determine the victory and defeat?"
My father is not afraid. He has studied poetry and books hard for five years and is confident that he can surpass my mother. When he heard my mother speak firmly, he said, "Since that's the case, please tell me how to compare?"
My mother was very happy to see my father agreeing, so she said, "My comparison method is extremely easy and very simple. One party sets a question, and the other party will win if it deals with it. How about it?"
My father wanted to give up, but when he saw my mother give birth to another method, he was angry, but he was patient and said, "Since that's the case, just ask for the question?"
My mother saw my father's face look ugly, and she was a little hesitant, but when she heard that my father's tone was cold, for some reason, she became hard and gritted her teeth and giggled, and said, "Since you don't take me to heart, then follow me back?" After saying that, she casually recited a couplet: "A lonely boat, two or three sluts and five sails, passed through six beaches and seven bays, and experienced eight or nine bumps. It's a pity that it's too late!"
My father obviously didn't expect my mother to come up with such a way. He was naturally surprised when he heard this. He recited it silently several times, but he didn't know how to start.
After hearing the couple, Xiao Yun also recited a few words in his heart and barely got together a few pairs. All of them were not in line with the question. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and whisper: "This time, is your father losing?"
Zhang Yuluo smiled bitterly when she heard this, saying, "If this is the case, I'm afraid my mother won't commit suicide, right?"
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean, your father is a match for this pair?" Xiao Yun heard this pair after hearing it, and knew that it belonged to the kind of absolute that has been the ageless. The so-called absolute that has been passed down is no one, and few people can match it. Although Zhang Shixin is a little talented, in Xiao Yun's opinion, it is not very outstanding. Compared with Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Xie Jin, Xu Wei, Yang Shen, and Tang Bohu in later generations, Xiao Yun is not a little bit disbelief. He said that he can match such absolute that has been passed down, but Xiao Yun is somewhat unbelievable.
Zhang Yuluo seemed to see Xiao Yun's thoughts, smiled faintly, and said, "This couple was originally talking about a poor scholar in Jiangnan who went to the capital to take the exam. Because the journey was long, although the scholar traveled day and night, when he arrived in the capital, the exam had already ended. The scholar was persuaded and finally moved the examiner and allowed him to take the make-up exam. The examiner asked him to use the ten numbers one to ten. After hearing this, the scholar thought to himself that I would tell the reasons for the bumpy journey and the missed exam, so as to obtain the understanding of the examiner's exam, and blurted out: "A lonely boat, two or three sluts, four oars and five sails, passed through six beaches and seven bays, and went through eight bumps and nine bumps. It was a pity that it was very late." After responding, I was allowed to enter the examination room.
This interesting story has been widely circulated in Jiangnan. My mother thought this pair was interesting. When she heard her brother laughing, she remembered it in her heart. The second couplet also learned from her brother that my mother personally asked the people in the world that there were less than ten of them. Although my father was a little talented, he was hard to have such a talented person.
