I Became A Mighty Lion

The lights flicker.

The first couplet reads: Idle people are not allowed to enter, but virtuous people are allowed to enter.

Obviously, this pairing shows that the young stall owner wants to make like-minded friends.

Chu Xiaoye opened his mouth and said: "Thieves don't come, Taoists come."

When the young men who stopped heard this, they were immediately stunned. They didn't expect that this young man could really fight against him, and he was quite neat.

"Boss, can I give you this gift?"

Chu Xiaoye pointed to the first gift and said.

"Thieves don't come, Taoists come...Okay! Very good!"

The young stall owner immediately picked up the first gift and handed it to his hand. He praised it with a smile on his face: "Little brother, this couplet is right."

Chu Xiaoye secretly screamed in shame, took the gift, gave it to the naughty child who was still hugging the table leg tightly, and said, "Can you go?"

Xiaoguai happily took it in his hand, but still shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving! Brother Chu is so powerful, so you have to help Xiaoguai win all these gifts, okay?"

"Hiss... such a big breath!"

When the young literati heard this, they immediately sneered. They didn't care about one pair of confrontations. Do you still want to finish them all? Do you think you are one of the four great talents in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and you are called Tang Bolang who has penetrated the intestines?

Chu Xiaoye looked at the second couplet: Move the chair to admire the moon together.

This was difficult. The young literati thought about it for a long time, but they could only shake their heads and sigh.

Qin Mo'er whispered beside Qin Yu and Qin Zhitan: "I'm afraid even the eldest brother can't match this couplet. The first three words and the middle two words have the same pronunciation, and the first two words are both verbs. , and the artistic conception of this first couplet is extraordinary and very difficult to interpret.”

Chu Xiaoye opened his mouth and said: "Light the lamp, go to the pavilion, and each study the books."

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Several young literati who had just been sneering and waiting to see the joke couldn't help but marvel when they heard this couplet.

This time, they looked at the young man with no contempt.

The young stall owner picked up the second exquisite gift, handed it to Chu Xiaoye's hand, and said with a smile: "Little brother, this couplet is written for me as a scholar. I study during the day, study at night, and indulge in the world of books." Lifetime. This is the portrait of a scholar in me."

Chu Xiaoye felt a little ashamed, but he didn't agree.

Most people in ancient times did not study for the sake of studying, let alone indulge in it. Most of them did it for exams and to become officials.

The young stall owner in front of me seemed to have a completely different state of mind from the other scholars.

"Brother Chu! You are so powerful! You are much more powerful than my eldest brother!"

Qin Xiaoguai took the second gift, his nose was bubbling with joy, he finally let go of the table leg, pointed at the third gift and said, "Brother Chu! I want more!"

Qin Zhitan beside him quickly said with a stern face: "Nonsense! Your brother Chu is a guest, not your servant! Don't be willful anymore!"

Qin Xiaoguai's mouth flattened and he was about to cry again.

Chu Xiaoye hurriedly said: "Uncle Qin, it doesn't matter, just have one more piece. My dear, this is the last one, can't I ask for more?"

Xiaoguai immediately laughed through tears and nodded: "Well, the last one!"

Chu Xiaoye looked at the third couplet: Holding a three-character post and meeting a first-grade official, a Confucian scholar dares to call him brother?

The tone of this first couplet is arrogant, not like what this young man did, or is it the young stall owner's self-deprecation? Presumably, his former classmates or brothers have now become successful, and he went to see them with the post, but was rejected.

Qin Mo'er read this couplet and was about to explain it to her brother and father in a low voice when Chu Xiaoye answered: "Traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books, a commoner can be proud of a prince!"

As soon as the second couplet comes out,

Not only the young scholars were stunned, but the young stall owner in front of him suddenly looked at him in surprise.

It was fine to show off neatly, but this momentum made them feel proud, their hearts were surging, and they couldn't calm down for a long time!

Qin Mo'er also stood there blankly, with her mouth slightly open and her eyes blankly looking at the young guest.

"Boss, this third gift..."

Fortunately, it was dark, so Chu Xiaoye hid her blush.

He just has a good memory.

"Young Master is so talented! So impressive! I admire you! I admire you!"

The young stall owner praised him, handed him the third gift, and then said, "Suhang Tang Bolang, can you make friends with this young master?"

"What! Tang Bolang? He is actually Tang Bolang?"

"Tang Bolang, the leader of the four great talents in Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

When the young scholar heard this name, his jaw almost dropped.

With their now unknown talents, they are not even qualified to attend cultural gatherings, let alone meet this great talent from Suzhou and Hangzhou who is already well-known!

Unexpectedly, they would meet here tonight!

Qin Mo'er also looked shocked and excited. This great talent from Suzhou and Hangzhou is the idol that the eldest brother admires and worships the most. It's a pity that the eldest brother is not here, otherwise he would definitely be crazy with joy.

Chu Xiaoye saw that everyone was very excited when they heard this name. He knew that this person was a celebrity, but he had never been interested in celebrities, not to mention that he had never heard of it.

"It turns out to be Brother Tang. Nice to meet you."

Chu Xiaoye also raised his hands in salute, but did not say his name. He quickly handed the gift in his hand to Qin Xiaoguai and said: "Okay, Xiaoguai, we should leave and go find your elder brother."

Xiaoguai then became happy and said, "Well, Brother Chu, I will definitely like you."

Tang Bolang froze in place, a little embarrassed.

Was it because he had never heard of his name at all, or was he just being arrogant and unwilling to pay attention to him at all?

Qin Moer quickly walked to Chu Xiaoye and reminded him in a low voice: "Mr. Chu, this Mr. Tang is currently the number one talented man in Suhang and is the person my brother admires the most."

Chu Xiaoye turned to look at her and said with a puzzled expression: "So what? Do you want an autograph?"

"ah???"

Qin Moer had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Chu Xiaoye took Xiaoguai and left quickly.

Lan Nixi and others, wearing headscarves, followed behind.

Feier couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect Master Ye to be so talented. We have found a treasure."

Willis next to her snorted coldly and said with disdain: "What does it mean to be talented? This is a trick specially used to seduce ignorant girls!"

"Brother Chu! Brother Chu! Wait a moment!"

The talented man named Tang Bolang actually abandoned his stall and hurriedly chased after him.

Chu Xiaoye had no choice but to stop, turned to look at him and said: "Brother Tang, I will stay in Suhang for a few days and will leave soon. It is not impossible to make friends with you, but it will definitely not be of any help to you. "

Tang Bolang came to him out of breath and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, who do you think I am, Tang Yin? When I make friends, I don't ask about birth, age, or how to help in the future. I only ask about Were you happy at that time? I've been with Brother Chu for a year, even if you leave tomorrow and don't recognize me anymore, tonight, I still want to make friends with you, Brother Chu!"

Tang Yin?

Chu Xiaoye was stunned, stared at him for a few seconds, and then said, "Have you ever raised a cockroach named Xiaoqiang in your house?"

Tang Bolang was stunned for a moment and said with astonishment on his face: "Cockroaches? Can you keep those things too?"

Chu Xiaoye slapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Just kidding. Okay, since Brother Tang is so open and honest, then we will make this friend! I still need to ask Brother Tang for advice on some things."

Tang Bolang immediately beamed and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, brother Chu, what's the problem? Even though it's true. However, there are many people here and it's noisy. It's not a place to talk. Let's get on the boat. A cultural gathering is being held there. , isn’t it beautiful to listen to a beautiful woman playing the harp, drinking grape wine, and chatting about world affairs?”

"Wenhui?"

Chu Xiaoye looked at the magnificent double-decker ship on the Qinhuai River that was hung with lanterns.

Qin Xiaoguai quickly jumped with excitement and cheered: "Okay! Get on the boat! Get on the boat! Xiaoguai has never been on a boat like that! Big brother must be on it too, we can go find him!".

Qin Zhitan and Qin Yu, who were following behind, changed their expressions slightly.

How could businessmen like them go to that kind of place? Not even for children.
