Chapter 11 Tang Bohu's Students
"The moon is not seen in the upper Yuan, light a few lamps to make the universe produce color."
Liu Yiuan wrote this couplet and was unwilling to do something about Huang Yi.
This is one of the few famous couplets in Chinese history, and few people can match them. He doesn't think that Huang Yi, a rural gentleman, can think of the second couplet in a short time.
"This," Huang Yi pondered. The first couplet of Liu Yi was not difficult literally. It was only a moment, a scene, and an object, not complicated, and slightly exaggerated, but it would not be so easy to give it a second couplet that was in harmony but not inferior to the momentum.
"Please teach me sir." Liu Yi pressed again.
"The earth was still moving, so I stepped on my feet to remove dust from all things. What do you think?" At the critical moment, Huang Yi still thought of a couplet.
"The moon is not seen in the Shangyuan, and a few lamps are lighted to make the color of the universe; the earth moves without hearing the sound, so I step on both feet to remove dust for all things."
Liu Ertiao said loudly and recited the upper and lower couplets one after another, saying, "The parallelism is neat and the momentum is equal, sir is clever!"
Huang Yi smiled and stroked his beard, showing his elegant demeanor. In fact, he also secretly wiped a cold sweat in his heart. If the little nimitar from the old Liu family had not happened to make him think that he could answer in a voice, Lao Huang might have been embarrassed today.
"Sir, great talent, Mr. Xie will help you solve your doubts." Liu Yi respectfully bowed to Huang Yi, and he still respected Liu Yi, a teacher with real talent and knowledge. "It's cold outside the door, so please rest in the room."
"Well, Mr. Liu has invited me, Brother Liu has invited me." Huang Yi bowed and walked in front first.
Liu Ertiao followed Liu Yi and said to Liu Yi in a low voice: "Brother, how did you think of your first couplet? Even Mr. Husband has to think about it for a long time, but can't you really think of the second couplet?"
Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Liu Eryi, but he didn't expect that this little brat could see clearly.
He replied in a low voice: "Of course I have the lower couplet. Listen to it. My lower couplet is: No thunder has been heard in Jingzhe, and I hit several drums to promote the power of heaven and earth."
"The moon is not seen in the Shangyuan, light a few lamps to make the color of the universe; there is no thunder in the Jingzhe River, and hit several drums to promote the power of heaven and earth." Liu Erzhao stretched out a big finger at Liu Yi and praised: "Brother, you are better than sir. I admire you!"
Liu Yi chuckled softly. He paused unnaturally when he saw Huang Yi's forward steps. He thought he also heard Liu Erjie's chant.
"Mr. Huang, please sit down!" Liu greeted honestly, "Erzhao, go and take out the fire in the inner room and roast it for Mr. Huang. Let your mother prepare a few more side dishes, and the gentleman will drink a few more cups here at noon."
"No need to do this," Huang Yi waved his hand repeatedly, "No need to do this, Mr. Liu, I will go back after sitting here for a while. There are still several gentlemen in the private school waiting for me, which cannot be delayed."
Liu Laoshi said disappointedly: "So, the matter of sir is a big deal, and I, Lao Liu, don't stop me. Just be patient, just be patient."
Liu Yiu said: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Is this the case, but what trouble did Nijo cause in the private school?"
When he spoke, Liu Yidian gave Liu Erzhao a fierce look.
"No, Nijo is smart and well-behaved by nature, and is deeply loved by all the gentlemen in private schools. How could he cause any trouble?" Huang Yi defended Liu Erjo. "I came here mainly to see Brother Liu. Brother Liu can make a good sentence like "two fists, five fingers, two shorts and three longs". Of course I want to come and have a visit."
"Mr. I'm just a farmer's ear. Farming and farming is what I deserve. I don't want to praise you." Liu Yi was very proud of his words. He was not allowed to praise you. He was very proud of his farming that he had never been to school and could match his family. For thousands of years, he was probably the only one.
"Brother Liu is too humble." Huang Yi said: "Mr. Huang is here right today, otherwise wouldn't I miss the amazing couplet like "The moon is not seen in the Yuan Dynasty, light a few lamps to create color for the universe."
"It is really admirable that Mr. can think of the second couplet in a moment. 'The earth has not heard, so I step on my feet to remove dust for everything.' Mr. has a good mind and a good demeanor!"
The two began to shamelessly praise each other.
However, a farmer and a teacher flatter each other and discussing literature can be regarded as a wonder.
After a while, Huang Yi looked at the sky, stood up and said goodbye on the grounds that there was something important to do.
The three father and son of the Liu family sent him outside the door.
When Huang Yi walked away, Liu Laoshi and Liu Ertiao pushed Liu Yi to a corner and asked sternly: "Yi, tell me, what's going on? When did you know the text and snippets? Who taught you the skills of couplets? And how did you treat Niu?"
From the moment Huang Yi came, Liu Yi knew that the matter could not be hidden, and it was time to give Lao Liu and the others an explanation.
"I have ever been to a teacher before." As a last resort, Liu Yiu had to create a false teacher. "These things I know are all taught by him."
"Which gentleman is it? Will he still accept disciples?" Liu Ertiao asked anxiously with green light on his eyes.
Liu Yi said: "My mentor's surname is Tang, his name is Yin, his courtesy name is Bohu, and he is from Guili, Gusu. He has passed away for three years. If you want to become a disciple, you may have to go downstairs to find him."
"Tang Bohu? I haven't heard of it. But if he can teach a student like his elder brother, I think he must be a great scholar. Unfortunately, I have no chance to visit him." Liu Ertiao sighed.
"Yes, Mr. Tang is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I have only learned from him for two years." Liu Yi sighed.
Liu said honestly: "It is a good thing that a gentleman is willing to accept you as his disciple and teach you knowledge. Why don't you tell your family that you know?"
"This is all Mr. Tang's order. He doesn't want people to know that I am his student. I am too stupid. If I say it, I will lose his reputation as a talented man. He can't afford to lose that person." Liu Youxuan said with infinite grievance.
"Well?!"
Lao Liu and Liu Ertiao were stunned, but they did not expect that such a result would be found.
No wonder Liu Yi didn't want people to know about his literacy. It turned out that there was such a reason in it.
Experts, experts always make people confused when acting. Liu Yiu’s teacher Tang Bohu is undoubtedly a master.
