Chapter 240: Trouble is coming

Sheng Sleeping Crane had actually been impatient with Zhao Li's entanglement for a long time, and his Danqing skills were passed on from Huan Guanlan. Huan Guanlan, as a well-known Confucian at home, is recognized by the world for his academic attainments, and he has also gained from his skills in touching the same kind, as well as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Although Huan Guanlan's level in Danqing is far inferior to his knowledge, and Sheng Shenghe, as his successor, is not the main attack on this way, because of his limited precipitation, it is even inferior.

But Zhao Li himself is also very young, although the Zhao family he was born in belongs to an authentic scholarly family, no matter his ancestors or now, he has never been an expert in this way. The Zhao family, out of a glimmer of hope for him to change his mind, did not agree to his formal apprenticeship, so he has been self-taught so far.

In contrast, nature admires the sleeping crane who has been taught by Huan Guanlan in various ways.

It's just that Sheng Sleeping Crane's main mind is on his career, Danqing is just a pastime, and I talked to him about this before, but I have been used to playing the eldest son of the Sheng family in the past two years, and I have been habitually exquisite.

It was also because at that time he didn't plan to recognize Gaomi Wangfu so soon, but since Zhao Xuan was the main exam, he and the Zhao family would inevitably have to deal with each other, thinking that Zhao Li might be able to use it in the future. The left and right are just a conversation to their liking, and they don't need to suffer if they don't need it.

And now he is about to recover his identity, this Zhao Li is focused on Danqing, and has no intention of taking the imperial examination, although he will not be snubbed and suppressed in Zhao Mansion, but he can't talk about business, and Sheng Sleeping Crane is naturally too lazy to spend effort on him.

At this moment, seeing Sheng Weiwei coming over, I said in my heart that this little girl is really likable tonight!

Then he reached out and touched Sheng Weiwei's head, and said with a smile: "Didn't you go ahead and play by yourself?"

Then he turned to Zhao Li and said apologetically, "Brother Xian, I promised them before, and I would accompany them to guess the lantern riddle tonight......"

Zhao Li is very reluctant, but after all, he is from the family, and he will not do nonsense, especially at this time, he is still a ten-year-old girl who is looking at him vigilantly and is afraid that he will not let go.

Seeing this, he said, "It's me who bothered Brother Hengshu!"

The two exchanged a few words and decided to find their own sisters...... At this time, Zhao Taocheng and Sheng Weiqiao were each stumped by the lantern riddle, and the distance between them was just a little far, Zhao Li came to her side, and before she could speak, Zhao Taocheng noticed it, raised her eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Fifth brother, why are you here?"

"Miss Sheng San couldn't guess the riddle over there, and Miss Sheng Ba personally pulled Brother Hengshu over to help. Zhao Li said a little helplessly, "I had to come to you...... You seem to be stumped too, do you want my help?"

"I can't even guess, fifth brother, you can't do it even more!" Because the Sheng family was not in front of him at this time, Zhao Taocheng said unceremoniously, "What will you do except fiddle with your dansha and green worms?"

Zhao Li touched his nose, not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Then what should I do?" Why don't I quietly go to the back door, discuss with the steward here, and ask you for a few answers, so that I can make up enough money to go to the second floor?"

"I just came in for a riddle, who is rare about the reward of this Nightless Pavilion?" Zhao Taocheng glanced at him and snorted, "Ask for the answer directly, then what's the point?" Besides, this is the territory of the eldest princess of Wuyang, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will definitely give her uncle face, but for such a trivial matter, you have to let your uncle owe her Royal Highness the eldest princess a favor, is this afraid that you will not go back to the house?!"

When Zhao Li heard this, he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard an exclamation not far away!

The brother and sister subconsciously looked back, but saw a man with a brocade robe embroidered with treasure patterns on a silver and red background, a flawless white fox fur on his shoulders, holding a bronze gilt "Fishing Wood Ploughing and Reading Map" chisel flower hand stove, a red gold Ruyi moire hair crown on his head, and a chisel flower inlaid ruby hairpin, Shi Shiran strolled among the many riddles.

Although this man's face is like powder, his lips are greased, and his outfit is extraordinary, but the Nightless Pavilion is opened on Chang'an Heavenly Street, whether it is the guests in and out, or the people in the pavilion, they are used to seeing the powerful.

The reason why it is eye-catching now is because this person looked at his eyes, and it was clear that he had not long come in, but a young man in Tsing Yi behind him had already taken a large handful of bamboo chips, and a rough estimate estimated that there were already more than 20 of them!

Although the lantern riddles on the first floor are mixed with a lot of simple ones in it, with the faces of all guests, the lantern riddles of this non-night pavilion are changed from time to time to prevent someone from cheating, using the same lantern riddle, repeatedly asking for bamboo chips. The little guy in the pavilion has extraordinary eyesight, and he has taken more than a dozen bamboo chips in his hand, and it is often the turn of the more difficult lantern riddles.

When there were more than 20 bamboo chips, in order to screen the people who went up to the second floor, they came up with difficult topics.

This person has won a lot in just a few moments, and he doesn't look like a low-key person, and he immediately attracted the attention of everyone who was originally guessing the riddle.

Of course, there were both attention and suspicions, and someone who was anxious blurted out at the moment: "Should this person have a relationship with the proprietor of this Sleepless Pavilion?"

"Such a simple lantern riddle also needs to use friendship?" Before the little guy in the Nightless Pavilion could defend himself, the man in the silver brocade robe heard this, raised his sword eyebrows lightly, turned his head and glanced at the person who asked the question, and sneered, "Could it be that this brother is reckless, and he thinks that people all over the world are as unworthy as brother Tai?!"

This is really not polite, the person who asked the question was furious, but he was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly heard a person say calmly: "Gao Gongzi is the grandson of the Marquis of Wu'an, and the current Queen Mother is a blood relative, and his father's family is also a big family in Jiangnan, known as the first genius in Jiangnan, but a heartless word from the person who met in Pingshui, is it not necessary to be unforgiving?"

The person who asked the question was taken aback when he heard the words "Wu Anhou", "Queen Mother", and "The First Genius in Jiangnan", and knew that this was not only a real son of a powerful man, but also a real talent: Jiangnan is a native of outstanding people, and can be called the first genius in Jiangnan, even if his family background is a bonus, if his literary talent is insufficient, how can the so-called literati be light, how can he occupy such a name?

At that moment, he secretly wiped a cold sweat, and while retreating silently, his eyes also fell on the person who had just reminded him, and he was quite grateful.

At this time, the people on the first floor of the entire Buye Pavilion were actually looking at that person, not too old, twenty-three or four-year-old appearance, trimming eyebrows and long eyes, tall mountain roots, slightly thick lips showed a bit of thickness, between the eyebrows was very quiet, and the dress was also very simple, a very ordinary fox fur, exposed Shi Qingyi corners, no lines and no ornaments, if it weren't for the strong atmosphere of the whole body, Fang Cai pointed out the identity of Meng's maternal relatives, and looked like an ordinary Luo Tuo Shizi.

The man met the many eyes, nodded very calmly, and said lightly: "Huang Wuyi in Xia Shu, where I just disturbed, please also ask you Haihan." ”

"Shuzhong Huang is not to blame?" Because there is a spring festival this year, and it is imminent, someone said it a few times, but his eyes lit up, and he said, "But the prodigy in Shuzhong is in person?"

Zhao Taocheng's eyes were shining, grabbed Zhao Li's arm, and asked quietly: "Is he Huang Wuyi? The Shuzhong prodigy of Ziyue? Look at it, he is as taciturn as rumored! However, he doesn't look like Huang Shilang? A few years ago, my grandmother had a birthday, and Huang Shilang came to congratulate me, I met it once with my second sister, and it didn't look like his eyebrows at all?"

"You are gentle!" Zhao Li reminded with a headache, "The public, if you lose the face of our Zhao Mansion, your grandmother will beat you after you go back carefully...... He is indeed not like Huang Shilang, it is estimated that Xiao's mother? This person has been in Shuzhong before, he was raised by his grandfather and grandmother, it seems that he only came to Chang'an in the middle of last year, right? I haven't seen him before, but anyway, Huang Shilang is my uncle's person, it is said that when this person came to Chang'an, he went to visit his uncle's house, and his uncle was very important to him, and once said that he had the talent of the champion!"

Speaking of this, he groaned, lowered his voice and said, "This person is not married yet, if you are interested in him, I will go to my grandmother for you and say, you can take it easy and not be too attentive! lest your grandmother be angry when she finds out, and she may not help you!"

"What! I've just heard of his literary name a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet him today, I'm just a little curious!" Zhao Taocheng heard this, and couldn't help but push him in disgust, "Your own marriage hasn't been settled yet, what do you worry about me? I plan to rely on my grandmother's knees for a few more years!"

When their brother and sister bit their ears, Huang Wuyi was also in trouble by Gao Chengxuan: This Gao Chengxuan's character Shaoyang is the first genius in Jiangnan that Meng Guiyu and others discussed a moment ago, and he is also the grandson of the second room of the Meng family, the grandson of Wu'an Hou Mengbei.

And Gao Chengxuan did not live up to the favor of his elders, he is talented and intelligent, successful in reading, only nineteen years old this year, one year younger than Sheng Sleeping Crane, he can already participate in the Spring Festival and is expected to be the leader, naturally he is highly sought after and flattered.

Unexpectedly, since he came to Chang'an, in the intrigue between King Gaomi and Meng, he and Huang Wuyi's previous homework were all turned out for comparison, and they all said that his literary talent was not as good as Huang Wuyi, it was himself, and after reading Huang Wuyi's current texts, he also sighed to himself.

However, Gao Chengxuan was not convinced, after all, Huang Wuxuan was thirty-three in his twenties this year, four years older than him.

If he is the same age as this person and has four more years of precipitation and tempering, Gao Chengxuan thinks that he will definitely not be weaker than Huang Wuyi.

Seeing Huang Wuyi's words to reveal his identity, he sneered, and said in a light tone: "Huang Ziyue, you and Ben Gongzi came in front and back, and Ben Gongzi will be able to go to the second floor soon, but you don't even have a bamboo chip in your hand, and Ben Gongzi also said that you know that your skills are not as good as others, do you plan to go upstairs today?

He looked at the person who asked Fang Cai, "Eighty percent of this person was found by you, and he deliberately asked like that, in order to provoke this son, so that you can pretend to be benevolent, right?

Huang Wuyi's tone was flat: "I don't know this son, but I can't get used to seeing that you don't have the slightest tolerance!"

"Can't get used to seeing this son?" Gao Chengxuan narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said with a smile, "Then are you used to seeing that southern barbarian son Sheng sleeping crane? You are known as a prodigy in Shuzhong, and this son is also known as the number one genius in Jiangnan! You and I are competing, there is still a saying! What is that surname Sheng, and he is actually delusional to suppress you and me...... Huang Ziyue, but I didn't know that you would see him later, but you can't get used to seeing him with this guts?"

is watching the lively Sheng Weiqiao with relish: "............???"

She subconsciously looked at Sheng Sleeping Crane, but saw that Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't raise his head, let alone pay attention to this No. 1 talent in Jiangnan and the prodigy in Shuzhong, and actually whispered the answer to the little guy in the pavilion as if nothing happened, and put another bamboo chip into his sleeve.

"Also, these two are famous, and they also have their own backers, but it is not appropriate for us to clash with them head-on. Sheng Weiqiao was slightly stunned when he saw this, but quickly thought, "After all, if his life experience is exposed before the gold list comes out, this subject will definitely be invalid if he takes the exam." In fact, after the exam, I am afraid that there will be arguments...... Alas, what is all this? I came out to see a lamp and accompany my eighth sister to guess a riddle, and I actually met the scholars that the Meng clan and King Gaomi originally supported?"

I lowered my head and thought about it, thinking that it would be better to coax Sheng Weiwei to leave early, so as not to stay and accidentally reveal my identity, and there would be trouble.
