I'm a marquis in Datang

Li Shimin is here.

This means that the plaque of the best tea in the world is obviously written by Li Shimin.

This is real.

When Li Shimin appeared, Du Qi also came out from inside.Previously, it was Jin Wuque who was in charge of welcoming and delivering, the tea business, and the people who came, but now that Li Shimin arrived, Jin Wuque was not qualified enough, and Du Qi had to come out to greet him in person.

When Du Qi saw Li Shimin, with a smile on his face, he bowed and said, "King Qin!"

Li Shimin said: "Good boy, not bad!"

Du Qi was generous, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The King of Qin has praised you, please! All uncles, please!"

Li Shimin nodded and led people in.

This scene fell outside the tea shop. Many of the onlookers were already thoughtful, thinking about how to face Du Qi's No. [-] tea shop in the world.

Chapter 39 The Mystery of the Couplet

The mystery of couplets

A group of people entered the tea shop, because this shop was originally a house, and it was a two-story residence.In the lobby, it is mainly a place where tea is sold, and where ordinary people taste it.On the second floor, elegant rooms were specially set up to receive valuable guests and important guests.

When Jin Wuque was looking for a shop, he didn't look for this location at first, but after constant adjustments, he finally chose this location. Although the rent is expensive, the location and environment are very good.

A group of guests and hosts are seated.

As the king of Qin, Li Shimin deservedly sat on the main seat, and Changsun Wuji and others took their seats separately.

Everyone knows where they are.

Du Qi asked Jin Wuque to take care of the business downstairs, but he was supporting it upstairs.Fortunately, Liu Jian, the dog leg, can already make good tea now, so with Liu Jian's help, a cup of tea was prepared in front of everyone in a short time.

A cup of tea, full of tea fragrance.

In particular, the color of brewed tea is clear, and it smells rich and fragrant, which is endless aftertaste.

There was a bright smile on Li Shimin's face. He had now reached an agreement with Donggong and started to arrange farming.The bet between the East Palace and the Prince Qin's Mansion is which side can better educate the people and encourage them to farm faster and better.

This bet was also mentioned by the East Palace on its own initiative. Li Shimin has already carried out the second step of Fang Xuanling's plan, but now it is Du Qi Tea Shop, so Li Shimin personally brought people to join him.

Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Everyone, I have drank Du Erlang's tea a long time ago, and it really has a special flavor. Although its taste is not as rich as pancake tea, it is refined, and its realm is far beyond tea soup."

"Everyone, please!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and took a sip of tea first.

When a sip of tea enters the mouth, the tea aroma and taste buds are intertwined, making the whole person immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.When the taste of this tea fragrance spreads in the body, it feels even more refreshing.

When everyone drank tea, they tasted different flavors.

Fang Xuanling put down the tea bowl, his eyes fell on Du Qi, and suddenly said: "Du Erlang, you have nothing to say about your tea, and it is worthy of the title of 'No. [-] tea in the world' given to you by His Highness. But I'm curious, the two sentences you posted on the door, the sea is falling! The clouds are long, long, long, long and long! These two sentences

The words are left and right, posted on the door of the tea shop, what does this mean?Even, I have been thinking about it, but I haven't figured out a trick yet. "

When everyone heard it, they were all surprised.

The general didn't feel anything, but the civil servant was keenly aware of the extraordinary.Just now Fang Xuanling finished reading the words one by one, without any charm, and did not reflect the difference.

All the civil servants were thinking about it.

Li Shimin looked at Du Qi and became interested.He waved his hand and said: "Du Erlang, don't be in a hurry to give the answer, and let everyone guess what I am interested in. Let's see if these two sentences can make it hard for the people in the Qin Palace."

Du Qi said: "Your Highness, although you can't announce the answer directly, you still have to let me explain the format of these two sentences, so that you adults can understand and stay up all night."

Li Shimin said: "Well, I really need you to explain this format. Otherwise, even the people in my Qin Palace's Palace will be blind and guessing. They don't know anything, and they can't find the way."

Du Qi said: "Your Highness is holy!"

After a pause, Du Qi said solemnly: "The two sentences at the door, I call them couplets, and they are also called pairs.

The sentences are consistent; and the level is consistent, and the tone is harmonious; in addition, there are relative parts of speech and the same position.The upper and lower content also needs to be related, and the upper and lower content should be connected.Only in this way can it be called a perfect couplet. "

"This is the rule!"

"It's also fun!"

With a smile on his face, Du Qi said: "The two sentences at the door are the upper and lower couplets, which are called couplets. Although these two sentences are written, it is still difficult to distinguish the mystery."

Fang Xuanling is a person with outstanding talents and learning. After listening to Du Qi's introduction, he has roughly understood it.

He thought carefully, thinking about possible situations.

The rest of the civil servants in Prince Qin's Mansion were also thinking about the mystery behind this.

Du Ruhui was also thinking about the relationship between the upper and lower couplets, but when it came to the words Chao and Chang, no matter how he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.Du Ruhui looked at Du Qi, wondering in his heart, when did this little bastard understand the so-called couplets.

Time passed little by little.

A quarter of an hour is fleeting.

It's just that none of the people in Prince Qin's Mansion could figure it out, because they really didn't understand the meaning of it.

Li Shimin asked: "Everyone, have you figured it out?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Although Li Shimin said that the people in the Prince Qin's mansion didn't guess it out, and his face was dull, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone can't figure it out. Forget it, Du Erlang, tell me, these two sentences How do you read it?"

Du Qi bowed to everyone and said: "Uncles, the key point of these two couplets is that Chao and Chang, Chao Tong Chao, is to change between Chao and Chao; Change between rising and rising. After knowing this, it is much simpler to divide the upper and lower lines."

"Have it!"

Suddenly, Fang Xuanling spoke.

Li Shimin said: "Has Xuanling thought about how to read through it?"

Fang Xuanling replied: "Using the three characters as a pause, the tide of the sea, the tide is towards the tide, and the tide is falling towards the fall; the floating clouds rise, grow and rise, and grow and fade. self-proclaimed system."

With a smile on the corner of Du Qi's mouth, he said: "What Uncle Fang said is true, but this is just a change. There are many different ways to read this couplet."

Li Shimin suddenly said: "This king also has one."

Without waiting for everyone to agree, Li Shimin said: "It can start with four characters. The sea is facing the tide, facing the tide, and facing the setting; the floating clouds grow up, grow up, and fade away. In this way, we can also respond."

Du Qi said: "Your Highness is wise!"

At this time, all the scribes in Prince Qin's Mansion spoke up.One by one, different groups of sentences were continuously softened, forming different reading methods, and they were presented one after another.
