Chapter 5: The gentleman is really talented
Cui Yu knew in his heart that he was up and down, of course he would not sit stupidly next to the prince, so he had to reply carefully, sit in his position honestly, and no longer craned his neck to look outside.
Just half a ring, the venue suddenly became lively, a weak scholar-like person walked to the center of the stage, followed by two children, two people carried a delicate jade plate in their hands, the jade plate seemed to be engraved with a line of words: the hook is old, the hook is the test, the old test children, the children are old.
"Those who come to Wanhualou must be all kinds of outstanding literati heroes. Today's tea party is held, although they are all rare treasures, but they are also indispensable poems and words. Now the master of Wanhualou happened to get a rare couplet, and here he took out the upper couplet, I don't know who can solve the lower couplet. ”
After speaking, the weak scholar hung the couplet in a conspicuous place and stood aside, giving everyone in the audience enough time to think.
"It's really interesting, sir has ideas"
The prince looked at it for a while, and didn't seem to have any ideas, so he turned his head and asked Cui Yu, but he happened to see Cui Yu drinking tea and not interested in the slightest.
When Cui Yu heard the prince calling herself, she hurriedly put down the teacup, blinked her eyes a few times at the prince's questioning gaze, and then moved forward a little embarrassedly and looked in the direction of the couplet.
"This couplet was found by the master of Wanhualou?"
When Cui Yu saw this couplet clearly, he couldn't help but slander his luck, and sure enough, he was lucky.
"What do you think is wrong, sir?"
"It's nothing, it's just this pair, I can do it."
This couplet, others don't know, but Cui Yu is so familiar that he can't be more familiar with it, this is clearly a couplet hanging on the Xiaoyao Peak Examination Hall. When he was wandering the rivers and lakes, he stole it out and sold it, and at that time he thought that a large jade plate could be valuable, but he only exchanged it for fifty taels of silver.
When the prince heard Cui Yu say this, he was not surprised, but he felt that a character like Cui Yu could make couplets that others couldn't match, and it was right. He is the young master of Xiaoyao Peak, and of course, he is now his doorman.
"This couplet, can you give it a try?" Hearing Cui Yu say this, the prince didn't think much about it, and shouted loudly towards the lobby.
And at a time when everyone was thinking and talking, the prince's voice was particularly prominent. As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted ridicule everywhere. The weak scholar looked at the prince along the voice, as if he knew that the prince was not a person to be messed with, so he had a very good attitude.
"Dare to ask this lord, who is your next link?"
Hearing this, the prince took the opportunity to glance at Cui Yu. Cui Yu also understood what the prince meant, and although he felt like cheating, he also replied stubbornly.
"The next link is: one person is big, two people are the sky, the sky is great, and the human favor is greater than the sky."
Cui Yu said a word, and the entire Wanhualou was like exploding a pot. Some people really think it's wonderful, and most of them just go along with others. At this time, Cui Yu did not show up, so he was more guessing who this master was. The prince looked at the surprised and admiring expressions of everyone in the venue, and then looked at Cui Yu, who was pouring tea because he was a little embarrassed, and a feeling of being glad that he was his own guest arose. This person can only be used by him, and he must be loyal to him.
"The guests above are really talented. Earlier, the master said that if anyone could match this couplet, he would give it to both hands and not receive a penny of silver. The weak scholar clapped his hands as he spoke.
Subsequently, another jade plate was also carried up, and what was engraved on it was the lower link that Cui Yu had opposed. After showing it, he took it back and carried it towards Cui Yu's room.
Cui Yu didn't have the slightest affection for this jade plate, not to mention the market price of this one that was only worth fifty taels. This thing is a couplet hanging on the examination hall, Cui Yu has been interested in the things of literati and ink writers since he was a child, and he feels even more headache for the routine examination of Xiaoyao Peak. Therefore, when this jade plate was brought up, Cui Yu basically didn't look at it.
The people who came to Wanhualou naturally couldn't have come to listen to the poems. As soon as the jade board was carried away, several women with flowers and branches walked to the center of the stage.
The woman was dressed in a uniform tulle and had a variety of charms, and just standing there attracted a burst of cries.
"Why is the gentleman so serious?"
Cui Yu looked at those women, and she was indeed a little focused, and she only felt that what could attract everyone's cheers was called a woman, and there was a difference between herself and a person who couldn't tell that she was a woman when she wore men's clothes. And there has always been no shortage of beauties around the prince, so naturally he is not much interested in such a woman, and most of his attention is still on Cui Yu.
Cui Yu reacted when he heard the prince ask like this, and said with a chuckle, "I'm watching everyone's reactions, and sure enough, most people like such beauties." ”
"That's true, but I have a lot of such women, and if my husband likes it, I will give them to my husband." The prince followed Cui Yu's words casually, and then picked up the teacup and tasted it elegantly, as if he didn't take it to heart.
When Cui Yu heard the prince say this, he quickly shook his head and blurted out, "No need, what do I want a woman to do." ”
The prince said it casually, but he didn't expect Cui Yu to answer like this, he froze for a while, and forgot to drink the tea that was brought to his mouth, until the tea spilled out, and he came to his senses.
Cui Yu didn't speak through his brain, knowing that he was carried away for a while, forgetting his situation and identity and saying the wrong thing, so he hurriedly remedied, "I mean, I prefer people who are in love with me, Your Highness keeps the beauty, or use it yourself." ”
Hearing this, the prince tilted his head slightly, thinking that Cui Yu might indeed be such an infatuated person, so he didn't say anything more.
And at this time, the lobby is even more lively, everyone seems to be bidding for all kinds of beauties '** night', sure enough, this Wanhualou is still a high-end spring building in the core, the baby has not been taken out, it is already in the selection of the Oiran, but I don't know who the highest price of the Oiran can fall into.
After a while, several beauties had been 'sold', leaving only two who were still increasing the amount. One was dressed in white, and in this muddy place, there was still some sense of purity. The other is dressed in red, full of demonic energy, and charming to the bone.
If Cui Yuxuan is selected, he must be a beauty in red. Anyway, it has fallen into the dust, no matter how fluttering the white clothes are, it will not be pure and flawless in exchange. It's better to be so charming, to be more open.
"Five hundred taels, I want the one in red clothes!"
Cui Yu was thinking about it when a neutral voice sounded. The crowd looked back, and they saw a young swordsman dressed in coarse cloth. The swordsman is in his twenties, looks chic and lively, and does not have the calm feeling of breaking through the rivers and lakes. And this person is the swordsman that the prince wants to recruit, Luo Kunlun.
For Luo Kunlun, Cui Yu didn't need to look at it, and when he heard the voice, he determined the identity of this kid. However, Cui Yu was very dissatisfied with the first words that Luo Kunlun said when he didn't see anyone for a few months and said goodbye. When did this kid become so rich, if it weren't for the fact that he was so poor that he couldn't eat, why would he go back to Xiaoyao Peak to steal things and sell them.
