Rise From the Humble

"It's reserved for the person who made the couplet, not for you. You'd better go to other inns to check it out."

A great shopkeeper bullies his customers, and a great slave bullies his master.

The impatient words of the shopkeeper were sarcastic, and the glance of the literati who was concentrating on thinking in the inn was discriminatory and contemptuous. The two critical attacks overlapped and could cause at least 10,000 points of damage. Generally speaking, faced with this kind of In an embarrassing situation, most people would hide their faces in shame and walk away.

However, what surprised everyone was that the poor country boy at the door of the inn seemed to be unable to hear the sarcasm of the innkeeper or understand the discrimination of the people. Not only did he not hide his face in shame, but he had a simple and honest smile on his face. He happily said:

"Really? That means we have a house."

puff

What a simple boy!

People who were concentrating on the couplet in the lobby of the inn couldn't help bursting into laughter after hearing Zhu Pingan's words and looking at the silly young man at the door. I think the most elegant word they could use to describe the poor country boy at the door was simple. Of course, judging from their laughing expressions, after racking their brains for a long time but struggling to find the next link, their mental description of the poor boy at the door is more likely to be colloquial: Idiot! Silly X!

When the inn clerk heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he looked at the silly young man at the door. There is a woolen yarn, you can't understand human speech, the room reserved is not for you!

"The remaining rooms in the store are reserved for people who want to send couplets to each other. They will not be rented out. Sir, please go away and don't give them away."

The store clerk became increasingly impatient. He looked at Zhu Pingan and extended his hand toward the door to invite him. Although he was smiling, his words were also full of sarcasm.

"Really, then I'll also come and compare the couplets."

Zhu Ping'an held the dark horse at the door, narrowed his eyes slightly and said. He had a simple and honest face, and his smile remained the same, as if he didn't know what it was like to be rejected.

The shop clerk glanced at Zhu Ping'an up and down, rolled his eyes, and exhaled a turbid breath with extreme disdain.

you also?

Don't use this word so casually, okay? You'll lower the standard of the couplets in the hotel lobby! look at you. It was obvious that he was a man digging in the dirt in the countryside, and there was no trace of literary atmosphere in his body. It would be nice if you could recognize your own name, but what about the couplets? You must know that these couplets were specially collected by our boss from all over the country. The average scholar would not dare to say that he could pronounce even one of them. Even if you are digging in the countryside, you dare to say so. Let's talk about the couplet. I don't mind exposing you in such a loud tone!

"What? Can't it be right now?" The boy at the door looked towards the lobby and asked softly, showing his white teeth.

"So what if I can be right, so what if I can't be right, you can't be right anyway, so while it's still early, you'd better find another inn."

The store clerk was very impatient. The lobby is full of talented people with high literary accomplishments. If you, a country man digging in the dirt, are allowed to join in the fun, wouldn't it be equivalent to humiliating these distinguished guests? Think about it, these talented people in the lobby are so big There are a lot of people who can't get a single couplet right. Even if you go in with a weak leg, you won't be able to get a single couplet right. Doesn't that mean that these talented men are no different from idiots? No, we must not let this happen.

"That's right." The young man at the door smiled cheerfully, with a simple and honest smile, but it was particularly dazzling in the eyes of the store clerk.

You play it!

The store clerk is an old man again. You are a fool and don't understand human language. Can you grasp the key point? What I'm saying is to let you go. It's up to you whether it's right or not. Well, the poor boy at the door really doesn't look back until he hits the wall! Okay, let me hit you then! If you don't want to be right, then I'll let you be right, but not the six couplets hanging in the hotel lobby.

"You want to match the couplets, right? If you can match my couplet, then you can go to the lobby to match the couplets. If you can't, haha, then forget about the couplets in the lobby. You can't even think of them."

The store clerk looked at Zhu Pingan, snorted slightly and said.

The shop clerk is also someone who has read several years of schooling, otherwise he would not be able to work in this inn as a busboy. The salary in this inn is two or three times that of other inns, and the requirement is to be able to read and interpret sentences. Because he has read a few years of schooling, this shop The guy just came to this inn. After only staying here for half a year, the money earned by this store clerk is enough for others to work hard for two or three years, and I can't help but feel a bit proud.

"Okay." Zhu Pingan replied cheerfully, his smile still on his face.

"The tent door is now open for you." The two shop assistants opened and closed their breaths and composed a couplet with the title of ancient poetry.

In fact, this couplet is not difficult at all. It comes from Du Fu's "The Guest Arrives". This is a second couplet written by the store clerk, asking Zhu Pingan to compare the first couplet, but he deliberately did not say whether it was the first couplet or the second couplet, because he looked down on Zhu Pingan. If you have read poetry books, you will know at a glance that this is Du Fu's "The Guest Arrival" For half of the sentence in "The flower path has never been swept by fateful visitors, the gate is now open for you", just say the previous sentence.

After the couplet came out, the store clerk sneered at Zhu Ping'an. People in the lobby who were thinking about the couplet also looked at the door in boredom, thinking it was just for fun.

"The gate is now open for you."

Zhu Pingan took the dark horse and whispered the couplet written by the store clerk. When the store clerk wanted to say that the repeated couplets were not counted, Zhu Pingan then said the second couplet:

"When you sleep, you become numb and get high."

The gate is now open for you, and you will be paralyzed by sleep!

As soon as Zhu Ping'an said this couplet, everyone in the lobby seemed to have been tapped. They were stunned for a second, and then everyone in the lobby burst into laughter. In ancient Ming Dynasty, although people did not know the word "hi" "high", but the word "hi" also had an onomatopoeic and exclamatory meaning in ancient times, and we can almost understand this meaning.

The courtyard path full of flowers and grass has not been cleaned to welcome guests; the door made of woven straw has only been opened today because of your arrival. What an artistic poem, but the seven words "I'll be paralyzed while sleeping and get high" are like a pig, instantly destroying the artistic conception like a dog eating shit.

This kind of impact is simply heartbreaking.

Of course, the store clerk who was on the front line of the shock wave suffered a prelude of 10,000 points of damage. He felt as if a lump of Xiang had been stuffed into his mouth. When he was about to vomit Zhu Pingan's face with shit, he heard Zhu Pingan speak again. Speak.

"The flower path has never been swept by visitors, but now the gate is open for you." Zhu Ping'an showed his eight teeth and gave a standard smile, and then continued: "Hehehe, I think the atmosphere is too serious, just kidding ."

With one word, Rexiang, who the store clerk was about to spit out, stuffed it into his mouth again.
