Rebirth of the Entertainment Grandmaster
Chapter 127
Phoenix Entertainment has Qi Biyu. Ye Tang actually doesn't have to do anything. He drinks water in the office and then goes to have dinner together. Qi Biyu usually only needs to grasp the general direction and is very leisurely most of the time. The company is already on track.
Unless there are special circumstances, she almost never needs to intervene.
The company's senior executives were not hired for free. When they reach her position, they only need to be the leader to point out the direction of development, and there is no need to do everything personally.
Naturally, I would like to ask Biyu to treat me when I eat. Firstly, she is a landowner, so she must do her best. Secondly, she is a very rich woman. It is simply unreasonable not to attack the local tycoons.
There are several high-end restaurants near Phoenix Entertainment. All the restaurant signs in the classical building area are not called hotels. This is also to keep in step with the architectural pattern, otherwise, it will feel a bit nondescript.
The three of them went to a restaurant called "Tian Tianju". Not only was the decoration of the restaurant completely antique, but even the name had an ancient meaning. When they came to the door, Qi Biyu let out a light sigh. Luo Yao was a little strange and asked her why.
Already?
Qi Biyu said: "It's strange. There was a couplet hanging at the door that day. Why is it gone today?"
"What couplets?" Ye Tang was also a little surprised. There were clearly couplets on the two big pillars on both sides of the door. How could there be no couplets? It's not like he was telling lies with his eyes open, right?
On the doorposts on both sides, a long plaque is hung. On the right, it reads: Gathering thousands of delicacies to welcome friends from all over the world. On the left, it reads: With the wonderful rhymes of eight tones, entertaining four distinguished guests. A couplet that is very suitable for a restaurant.
Qi Biyu shook her head and said, "Let's talk after we go in." They were already at the door. It would be best to sit down and say it slowly if you have anything to say.
The three of them appeared outside the door, and a waiter in ancient costumes had already greeted them with a smile. He looked exactly like a waiter in an ancient restaurant. Ye Tang found it strange and interesting. This could be regarded as a kind of sentiment.
The restaurant is divided into five floors. The first floor is where ordinary diners dine. The second to fourth floors are VIP rooms. The fifth floor is not open to the public and ordinary people cannot go up. Qi Biyu is a regular customer and has a lot of money in his pocket.
So I asked for a private room on the second floor.
The first floor is the public hall, and there are performances in front, including singing, dancing, juggling, and various types of programs. The private room on the second floor is semi-open, so you can sit inside and watch the excitement below.
The three of them sat down and after ordering, Qi Biyu asked the waiter who took them upstairs: "Where is the couplet at your door? Someone came out?"
The waiter was a young girl with a very good appearance. After writing down the menu, she said with a smile: "Someone has already corrected the couplet, but if the customer can also guess other couplets, the order can also be waived."
Ye Tang and Luo Yao were confused when they heard this, but they probably understood a little bit. This restaurant had a couplet, and as long as you matched the second couplet, you could eat for free.
This was a good thing, so Ye Tang interrupted and asked what the couplet was. He would be a fool not to take advantage of it. It would be nice to save Qi Biyu a meal.
The waiter said: "The first couplet was written by our boss, 'The guest lives in nature, and the guest is in the sky.' Last night, a customer had already made the second couplet. The second couplet is 'People are as big as the Buddhist temple, and the Buddha in the temple is bigger than people.'"
"
Ye Tang was overjoyed to hear her mention the couplet "I live in a natural place, and I am a guest in the sky", but when he heard someone actually said the two sentences "A person is bigger than a Buddhist temple, a temple Buddha is bigger than a person",
Ye Tang opened his mouth, a little surprised.
"A guest in the natural world, a guest in the sky" and "A person passes through a great Buddhist temple, and the Buddha in the temple is bigger than anyone else" is a famous couplet. Unexpectedly, someone stole his limelight first. There is a great Buddhist temple in this world, and it is in Yunzhou.
, it seems that there are capable people here.
Ye Tang was very surprised, and Qi Biyu was also very surprised. She had been thinking about the first couplet for several days, but unfortunately she had never finished the second couplet. She didn't expect that when she came here today, she would already be criticized.
Qi Biyu sighed a little. The person who wrote the second couplet must not be an ordinary person. He must be knowledgeable and unparalleled in knowledge. "A guest lives in nature, but he is a guest in heaven" is a palindrome couplet, which is not easy to match.
Luo Yao was also a little surprised. The couplet "A guest in the natural world, a guest in the sky" is really difficult to correct. This kind of palindrome couplet in the couplet is relatively difficult to correct. If she had to correct it, she couldn't think of the second couplet at the moment.
of.
"Who is the person who wrote the second couplet? Is he a monk?" Luo Yao asked.
The phrase "when people pass through the Great Buddha Temple, the Buddha in the temple is bigger than others" is very appropriate and absolutely correct. When Luo Yao mentioned the Great Buddha Temple, Luo Yao's first thought was whether the other person was a monk? And he should be a very knowledgeable old monk.
Qi Biyu also had this idea, but the waitress shook her head and said: "No, he is a young man."
Hearing that she was a young man, even Ye Tang was a little surprised. "A guest comes from nature, but he is a guest from heaven." People pass through the big Buddhist temple, and the Buddha in the temple is bigger than others. This couplet is difficult to understand in that world.
Yes, there is an allusion to this.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a restaurant called "Tian Tian Ju" in Yanjing. Once Emperor Qianlong passed by this restaurant and praised the elegance of the name of the restaurant, so he wrote a couplet with the name of the building. The first couplet is: Guests come to Tian Tian Ju, and they are guests from heaven.
But the second line is hard to come by.
Because the second line must meet the following conditions: the last five characters are the inversion of the first five characters. It must have complete semantics, coordination of tones, and beautiful artistic conception. It is indeed difficult, so he ordered his ministers to correct it, and they thought hard for a long time.
No, even Ji Xiaolan, a great talent, couldn't admit it at first.
However, after all, Ji Xiaolan was the number one bachelor in the world at that time, and his head turned faster than ordinary people. After searching his guts, he finally said, "People have passed through the Great Buddha Temple, and the Buddha in the temple is bigger than others." Qianlong smiled and nodded at that time, and later "Tianju" used this
As a couplet, it quickly became famous.
I have to say that this restaurant owner is a man with a lot of knowledge. He actually stole Qianlong's "guests come to nature, and guests come from heaven". And that young man is even more amazing. Ji Xiaolan's limelight in this world actually overshadows him.
It's on the head.
Ye Tang felt a little emotional. It seemed that the people here should not be underestimated. Two people who just showed up were experts.
However, even though "people have passed the Great Buddha Temple, the Buddha in the temple is bigger than others" was pointed out first, Ye Tang still had other second lines in mind. He was about to say the new second line when he suddenly heard the commotion below and turned his head.
After looking at it, I found that it was actually Bai Zhantang.
Luo Yao and Qi Biyu also looked at it. Luo Yao was a little unhappy when she saw Bai Zhantang. She hated this Bai Zhantang so much that she didn't expect to see him here again.
However, Bai Zhantang did not notice that Ye and Tang were sitting together with a young man who was only thirty years old upstairs. They looked arrogant and seemed to be arguing with others.
Naturally, the waitress also noticed Bai Zhantang and the two people below. She pointed at the man next to Bai Zhantang and said, "He is the one who wrote the second couplet."
The man looked ordinary, but had extraordinary talents and knowledge. He also seemed to have a special temperament. The waitress's eyes shone a little. She just liked this kind of knowledgeable and romantic man.
As soon as she said these words, Ye Tang felt a little bit sick. That person was obviously a young man. What a young man? He simply couldn't express what he meant. He who was under twenty-five years old could be called a young man, but the other person was definitely twenty-seven, seventy-eight, or even
Maybe even thirty is not certain.
The second floor was not high, and the waitress spoke a little loudly. Bai Zhantang soon saw Luo Yao upstairs. His eyes lit up when he saw Luo Yao, but when he found that there was Ye Tang next to him, he
His face darkened and he was a little embarrassed. He had lost face in front of him last time.
There were four people at Bai Zhantang's table. They were debating some controversial issues in the Analects. The debate became a bit loud when it got heated, and because they all relied on their extraordinary knowledge, they seemed to be dissatisfied with each other, almost blushing.
.
When he found Luo Yao on top, he immediately stood up and bowed his hands towards Ye Tang and the others as a greeting. He had friends here, so he had no plans to go up for the time being. Besides, it was a bit embarrassing last time. He didn't want to see Ye Tang's
boy.
"Boss, is there anyone else who can answer the couplet here?" Although he didn't go up, he still had to show off under Luo Yao's nose, Bai Zhantang asked loudly.
"A guest comes from nature, but a guest from heaven" He thought about it all night last night, and finally came up with a second line. He originally planned to talk about it later, but now he couldn't wait.
Bai Zhantang said so loudly that Ye Tang, Luo Yao and Qi Biyu were all heard upstairs. Ye Tang glanced at Luo Yao and felt a little funny. Beauty is indeed a curse.
Seeing her, Bai Zhantang was not calm anymore.
When Bai Zhantang spoke, he glanced at him, with a hint of provocation in his eyes. Ye Tang curled his lips slightly, not taking him seriously. If he wanted to provoke trouble, he didn't necessarily have to accept it, so he just let him perform on his own.
Go ahead, just have fun.
Ye Tangcai didn't want to talk to him.
(ps: Please vote, brothers, don’t be lazy.)
