Chapter 22 Supplements of Dragon Climbing

Wei Suo Mr. Zhang Kebiao [2] made a copy of "Climbing the Dragon in the Literary World", because he made an appointment, and he was always in a hurry, so he lost the luck of reciting it.

In the first paragraph of the solution to the problem, there is a wonderful famous essay-"Denglong can be solved as riding a dragon, so The art of climbing a dragon becomes the skill of riding a dragon, which is similar to riding a horse. But usually riding a dragon means son-in-law, and the literary world does not seem to be female, so it is not likely that they will want to recruit a son-in-law. So this explanation seems to have attracted others Danger of misunderstanding. . . . "

But you can also be a son-in-law from the literary world.The technique is to keep an eye out for a lady who has some money at home and can write a few sentences of "Ah, I am sad", write articles and publish them in newspapers, and respect her as a "female poet" [10].When she saw that she had a "sense of confidant", she knelt down on one knee like in the movie, and said, "My life, oh, I am sad!"——from climbing the dragon to riding the dragon , and from riding the dragon to climbing the dragon, it is very happy.However, rich female poets may not necessarily love poor male scribes, so it is difficult to be sure. This method is only an appendix of "Supplements to Dragon Climbing", so please do not take it lightly.
