"Someone matched it?" Lin Wanrong looked at Luo Ning suspiciously and said, "Miss Luo, could it be that you matched it? But I don't know which couplet you matched with? Don't tell me you matched all four, I'll go crazy. "
Luo Ning was amused by his words and covered her mouth as she laughed, "Brother Lin, aren't you making fun of me? If I could match it, would it have taken until today? Someone matched one of the couplets. "
So it was four couplets and only one was matched. That's good, that scared me. If someone matched all four couplets, I'd be f * cking dead. Lin Wanrong knew very well that although these four words were absolute throughout the ages, the more absolute they were, the more people would be able to match them. The world was so big, and there were so many extraordinary people. It was only a matter of time before they met.
Anyway, he wasn't the one who wrote this couplet. It was good that someone matched it. At most, he would invite this person to come up and have a good time. This was a great opportunity to hype up. As long as they could invite this gifted scholar to the restaurant and gather a bunch of gifted scholars and talented women to hold a conference, not only would it become a much-told story, but the reputation of the Food Immortal Hotel chain would also be known throughout the world, becoming the holy land that countless gifted scholars and talented women yearned for.
Stir, it must be stirred, the hotter the better. Thinking of this, Lin Wanrong immediately laughed and said, "Matched it? That's great. Since the opening of the Food for Immortals, we have never invited a scholar or talented woman. As long as this person really matches it, the Food for Immortals will announce to the world that not only will we hang this couplet, but we will also invite the scholars and talented women of Jinling to gather at the Food for Immortals and participate in this poetry event. "
Luo Ning nodded and said, "The second couplet matches, but I don't dare to say whether it's good or not. Since the first couplet was written by you, Brother Lin. The second couplet should be judged by you. "
She took out a letter from her sleeve and a piece of white Xuan paper. She handed it to Lin Wanrong and said, "Brother Lin, please take a look."
Lin Wanrong took the Xuan paper, and a faint fragrance drifted over. On the paper, there were two lines of beautiful words: "Smoke along the beautiful eaves, smoke in the swallow's eyes, fog covering the dark house, nothing is left."
The antithesis of these two couplets was neat and tidy. Lin Wanrong looked at them for half a day before nodding his head and saying, "Excellent, excellent."
Qiaoqiao was also a talented girl. She raised her eyes to look at the two couplets and nodded, "The couplets are neat and the meaning is fitting. Sister Ning, which scholar came up with this?"
Lin Wanrong originally wanted to use this opportunity to hype up, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, Miss Lo. This pair of couplets is very good. I wonder where this gifted scholar is from. We, the Food for Immortals, are true to our words. We must invite this great scholar here as a guest. "
Luo Ning said, "Brother Lin, it's not that I'm stingy. The person who matched this couplet is from the capital. She's a fellow student from the capital. She's not in Jinling, so I can't invite her here. "
Lin Wanrong was a little disappointed. Silver, it was all silver that had been lost. Since this scholar was in the capital, how did he know about these four couplets? Lin Wanrong was disappointed for a while, but he was also a little confused.
Luo Ning seemed to have seen through his thoughts and smiled, "Brother Lin, you don't have to be suspicious. Your four couplets are already famous all over the world. Not only scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are talking about it, even scholars from the capital have heard about it. They are competing to get it right for fun. It's just that there aren't any good ones yet. "
I didn't expect my name to spread all the way to the capital. Lin Wanrong let out a long "oh" and said, "Then Miss Luo, can you tell me the name of this scholar so that I can get someone to frame his name and announce it to the world?"
Luo Ning shook her head, "Brother Lin, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that my fellow student is indifferent and low-key. She doesn't want to be in the limelight. After she matched this couplet, she asked someone to send a letter to me. I only found out after I received it. "
"Indifferent to worldly pursuits?" Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Did this scholar travel such a long distance just for this?" You're talking about being indifferent to worldly pursuits and keeping a low profile in front of such a famous couplet. Isn't that a little too funny?
Luo Ning shook her head, "That's not it. My fellow student matched this couplet not because she wanted to show off. According to her own words, it was for the sake of the scholars of the world. "
"For the sake of the scholars of the world?" Lin Wanrong was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
"My fellow student said that Brother Lin's four couplets are difficult for the world. Even though it's a good story, it seems a bit fake. I'm afraid she has an ulterior motive and wants to fish for fame."
As Luo Ning spoke, she stole a glance at Lin Wanrong's expression. Seeing that his expression didn't change, she explained, "Brother Lin, my fellow student is a virtuous and upright person. She treats people and matters like this. It's inevitable that her words are a bit harsh. I hope you won't take offense."
Lin Wanrong laughed, "Why would I take offense? Your friend is right. I do have an ulterior motive for doing this. To put it bluntly, it's a method to attract customers. This fellow's eyes are quite accurate. Hmm, what else did your friend say? "
Luo Xiu said, "She said that she matched this couplet not because she has any ulterior motive. She didn't do it for the riches and talents of your restaurant. She did it to kill your arrogance so that you won't look down on the scholars of the world."
Lin Wanrong broke into a sweat. I originally came up with this couplet to attract attention and money. To put it bluntly, it was also a method to promote my restaurant. I didn't expect this scholar to be so indignant. She even gave me the title of looking down on the scholars of the world. My goodness, a toad is yawning. He's so arrogant. Does he think he can represent the scholars of the world?
"Oh, Miss Luo, may I ask, what does your friend do in the capital?" Lin Wanrong asked humbly. She wants to educate me just because she doesn't like me. Why is she acting like a politics teacher?
"She is a teacher at the capital's Jinghua Academy. She is also the youngest Chancellor of the Imperial Academy. When I was young, I studied in the capital. She is both a teacher and a friend, so I lived with her. She has helped me a lot. "Luo Ning's face was full of admiration when she talked about her friend.
No wonder. She is a professor at the university. She is a mainstream educator. Of course she is unhappy when she sees me being so arrogant. Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. He suddenly remembered what Luo Ning said and was shocked, "Miss Luo, what did you say just now? You live with her?"
Luo Ning said, "That's right. What's so strange about me living with her? " When she saw the strange look in Lin Wanrong's eyes, she knew that he had misunderstood. She was both embarrassed and angry. She said angrily, "Big Brother Lin, what are you thinking? My Senior Friend is a woman."
So it's a woman. I misunderstood. Sorry, sorry. Lin Wanrong laughed awkwardly. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Which woman is so arrogant? I didn't do anything to provoke her. Why is she looking down on me? If it was Xu Wenzhang who came up with the couplet, it wouldn't be strange. But it was a woman who came up with the couplet. It was interesting.
Dong Qiaoqiao listened to them talk for a long time. She didn't expect that the scholar who came up with the couplet was a woman. She was surprised and said, "Sister Ning, did this really come up with the couplet? That's amazing. "
Luo Ning nodded and said, "It's true. My friend is the most knowledgeable person in the world. Everyone in the capital knows her. Brother Lin, if you go to the capital in the future, you can visit her at the Jinghua Academy. "
Visit her? What should I talk to her about? Should I talk about her disdain for me and also talk about my respect for her? Forget it. I don't care if you're a Chancellor or a female professor. I've never been interested. I'm a wolf, not a scholar. It's more important to earn money.
Luo Ning smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Lin, my sister also said that if you're interested, she also has a couplet for you to come up with. She promises that it'll be as difficult as the couplet you came up with. It'll be absolutely fair. If Brother Lin comes up with the couplet, she'll hang it up in the attic of the Jinghua Academy. It'll be a good match with your couplet. "
Damn, this condition is a little tempting. If it's hung in the attic of the university, it'll go down in history. Lin Wanrong's heart was stirred. He really wanted to give it a try. But thinking that the woman was so talented, the couplet she came up with would definitely not be simple. He hesitated.
"Brother — —" Qiaoqiao gently pulled his hand and said, "Let's not come up with the couplet. I'm already satisfied with this Food for Immortals, I don't ask for anything else. "
Lin Wanrong knew that Qiaoqiao was secretly thinking about him. He held Qiaoqiao's little hand tightly and said with a smile, "Miss Lo, what's the couplet? Tell me."
Luo Ning took out a scroll from her sleeve and nodded, "My sister told me that Big Brother Lin must agree before I can open this couplet. So, I don't know what the topic is."
What is this? Why is it so mysterious? This female professor really knows how to pull off a stunt.
Luo Ning opened the scroll and looked at the seven small words written on the snow-white Xuan paper. She was stunned.
Qiaoqiao hurriedly looked at the paper, and saw that there were actually the same words written on it — — "Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan."
Lin Wanrong was also stunned. This was the couplet he came up with, and it was actually the woman who came up with it. No wonder the female professor kept saying that it was absolutely fair. It really wasn't an exaggeration.
This couplet was originally an absolute. It was already very difficult for the woman to come up with one, but now she was forcing Lin Wanrong to come up with another one. It was difficult, it was extremely difficult.
Lin Wanrong walked back and forth for the time it took to drink a cup of tea. Qiaoqiao and Luo Ning looked at him nervously, not daring to say a word.
"Heh — —" Lin Wanrong suddenly chuckled. He picked up a pencil and wrote down seven big words on the back of the couplet. Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao glanced at it and exclaimed together, "Amazing."
