After Yang Guoliang pointed out the fatal flaw in Zhu Pingan’s couplet, he hugged his arms and looked at Zhu Pingan with a kind smile.
In his eyes, Zhu Pingan was a grasshopper in the autumn, nothing more to jump around.
At this moment, the eyes of the crowd were also all focused on Zhu Pingan, like a spotlight.
“It’s not ridiculous, nor is it laughable.”
Zhu Pingan in the spotlight of the thanksgiving banquet looked as if he was fine, as if Yang Guoliang had not pointed out the problem but had complimented him, a pair of dark eyes smilingly swept the crowd, and finally met Yang Guoliang’s eyes, smiled, shook his head, and replied in a serious manner.
Ha?
The moment Zhu Pingan’s words came out, the crowd froze.
“Heh ……”
Yang Guoliang was all but exasperated by Zhu Pingan’s reply.
“You used five directional words plus five five elemental words against my ten numerical words, isn’t that absurd and ridiculous?”Yang Guoliang laughed in exasperation.
“Hehe, Ta-Jen Zhu can’t be unable to afford to lose, right? Your five orientations and five five elements are obviously not a match for the ten numbers. Ta-Jen Zhu is a Scholar, you wouldn’t even be unable to understand such a simple metre as counterpoint, right?”Ma Huating looked at Zhu Pingan and scoffed loudly, “Spring versus summer, autumn versus winter, twilight drum versus morning bell ……I still have a copy of the Childish Counterpoint Recipes there, and after today’s banquet, I can send it to Lord Zhu to observe and watch.”
“Hehe …..”
A burst of laughter rang out from the thank you banquet.
“Dr Yang is wrong.”
In the midst of a burst of laughter, Zhu Pingan said indifferently.
Eh?
What?
The Xie Shi Banquet’s laughter gave way.
Then.
the laughter got louder.
This is really a long time coming.
Obviously, his answer was wrong, and if he didn’t admit his mistake, he even accused the questioner of making a mistake.
What, should you follow your answer to the question?
“Ahem, heh heh heh, it can still be like this ah. Well, well, heh heh heh, Ta-Jen Zhu has a point, it is Dr Yang is wrong, Dr Yang, how can your first line be ten numbers, it should be five numbers and five other words is right, so with Ta-Jen Zhu’s next line of dialogue, hahahaha……Dr Yang, don’t you admit your mistake? Ha ha ha ha ha ……”
Ma Huating looked at Zhu Pingan narrowly, laughing tears are almost out, with a mocking tone of “cooperation” along with Zhu Pingan said.
“Hehe ……”Yang Guoliang cried and laughed as he looked at Ma Huating, “Lord Ma why are you also following the nonsense.”
“Hahaha ……”Ma Huating laughed and arched his hand, how could he not stop laughing.
“Lord Zhu, don’t joke around.”
Yang Guoliang looked at Zhu Pingan with a kind smile, with the feeling of a benevolent master teacher facing a disruptive bear child.
“Nonetheless.”
Zhu Pingan shook his head, arched his hand towards Yang Guoliang and said in a serious manner, “It is Lord Yang who is wrong. I didn’t use the five directional words and five five-element words to pair the next couplet, but rather the ten directional words.”
Huh?
Crap?
What did Zhu Pingan just say, he said that he didn’t use five orientation words and five five element words to pair the next couplet, but used ten orientation words to pair the next couplet?
I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?
Did I hear it wrong, or is Zhu Pingan this hanging drifted?
How dare he say such words?
Zhu Ping An ah Zhu Ping An, in broad daylight and in full view of the public, you dare to open your eyes and speak nonsense, your skin must be thicker than a city wall!
One cannot be too Zhu Pingan!
After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, the entire thank you banquet was silent!
Each and every one of them looked at Zhu Pingan dumbfounded, as if they were looking at aliens.
“Cough cough ……”
Yang Guoliang coughed violently, his face red with anger, and his neck was covered in veins.
Vertical son!
You are too f*cking shameless!
Wherever you want a little bit of face, you wouldn’t have said something as shameless as that just now.
“You ……Are you pretending that all of us are deaf?”
After coughing, Yang Guoliang’s face reddened and his neck thickened as he reached out and pointed at Zhu Pingan, his fingers trembling uncontrollably with excitement.
“Tsk, in ancient times, Zhao Gao pointed a deer for a horse above the Qin court, I hate that I can’t get a glimpse of the scene at that time, but, huh, fortunately, there is Lord Zhu’s move today, so that I can have a taste of what I wish for ah.”
Ma Hua Ting looked at Zhu Ping An with a mocking face and mocked in a conspiratorial manner, sarcastically saying that Zhu Ping An was speaking blindly with his eyes open, he had just clearly said that there were five azimuths and five five elements, but he insisted on saying that it was ten azimuths, this kind of shameless degree of speaking blindly with eyes open, it’s comparable to that of Zhao Gao in the ancient times.
Just now you said that Dr Yang was wrong, I thought that you were the one who didn’t admit your mistake and accused Dr Yang of making a mistake in the last couplet.
That’s shameless enough.
I didn’t realise that you could be even more shameless, and even came to accuse a deer of being a horse!
Ma Huating really felt that he had underestimated Zhu Pingan’s shamelessness.
“Ta-Jen Zhu, none of us are deaf …….Your next couplet is ‘levelling western Shu, settling southern barbarians, east and north rejects, the middle army tent changes its trigrams to earth, wood and gold lines, the water is biased to use fire to attack’, right or wrong, I just confirmed it to you at the beginning, and this is something that we can all testify to. ‘East and West, South, North and Central’ is five orientation words, “gold, wood, water, fire and earth” is five five-line words, and how come ten orientation words? Oh …….”
Yang Guoliang shook his head, kindly laughing.
“Learning cannot be done.”Zhu Pingan looked at Yang Guoliang, shook his head slightly, and advised very seriously, “Although Dr Yang is a doctor of the Five Classics, he cannot stop learning.”
Ah?
You’re talking about teaching me?
What qualifications do you have to lecture me, a person who can’t even match a couplet!
bast*rd!
So angry!
Yang Guoliang listened to Zhu Pingan’s persuasion and was so angry that he was practically smoking out of his five holes.
“In the future, when there is time, Dr Yang should gege more of the I Ching.”Zhu Pingan smiled faintly.
Ha?
What are you saying you? You’re sick, aren’t you?
This topic shift of yours is also too damn raw, right?
At this moment, Yang Guoliang was practically bursting with anger! He really wanted to take off his shoes and throw them at Zhu Ping An’s face to test the thickness of Zhu Ping An’s face skin.
“Taiji gives birth to the two yi, the two yi gives birth to the four elephants, gold, wood, water, fire, earth and the four elephants merge. The five elements are born with each other, in order of each other, and there are also the five directions. Gold, wood, water, fire and earth’ corresponds to ‘east, west, south, north, south and centre’, the five elements are the five directions. Sunrise in the east, vivid, and wood similar; South hot, hot sun, and fire similar; Central fertile, suitable for growth, and earth similar; Sunset in the west, the golden light, and gold similar; North cold, cold, cold and bone-chilling, and water similar. Therefore, the so-called: the east is wood, the west is gold, the south is fire, the north is water, earth is in. Gold, wood, water, fire and earth represent the five directions of east, west, south, north and centre respectively.”
“Therefore, Dr Yang, you are wrong, what Ping’an Fang’s next couplet is correcting is the ten directions, not the five directions plus the five five elements.”
Zhu Pingan looked at Yang Guoliang with a burning gaze, smiled faintly, and lifted his teacup to pay a distant tribute to Yang Guoliang.
Drinking it all in one go.
At the end, exaggeratedly praised, “Good tea ……”
Yang Guoliang, who was originally furious, after hearing Zhu Pingan’s Five Elements and Five Directions saying, his entire body instantly sat down on the ground.
The saying of the five elements and five directions, he knew it since ……
Yang Guoliang, who was sitting there paralysed, looked like a little daughter-in-law who had been ravaged a hundred times, just like a puddle of mud.
The original c*ckfighting eyes, at this moment also lifeless up, hastily shifted the line of sight, looking for a crack in the ground to go ……
“Er?!”
“I see, I see ……It really is ten directional words ……”
After a few seconds of silence, there was a buzz at the thank-you banquet.
