Chapter Eighty-Eight: Digging a Pit for You to Jump (Part I)

"I've seen a scholar."

Finding that the old man's gaze came over, Yang Liu and the three of them hurriedly bent down respectfully and saluted.

Only Xia Fan stood in place without any movement, looking at the old man curiously.

And the old man's gaze also didn't stay on Yang Liu's body too much, and after casually saying a word of absence, he also looked at Xia Fan curiously.

"University scholar, his name is Xia Fan, he is the second young master of the Xia family, we happened to meet him on the street on the way to come today, talking about coming to you, Xia Ershao said that he also admires you very much, you must follow us to meet you, we can't resist him, so we have to take him with us."

Seeing the old man looking at Xia Fan, Yang Liu hurriedly spoke.

With a few words, everything was pushed on Xia Fan's head.

However, this statement is still very misleading, if Xia Fan instinctively refutes Yang Liu's words, then it will inevitably cause everyone a feeling of great disrespect for Chen Zirong, even if Xia Fan is telling the truth, no one will believe him, and when the time comes, it will provoke public anger, which will naturally make Yang Liu breathe a sigh of relief.

Therefore, after finishing speaking, Yang Liu had already turned his head to look at Xia Fan, waiting to see Xia Fan's joke.

However, what she didn't expect was that Xia Fan didn't refute her statement at all, but followed her words, bowed to Chen Zirong, and said in a very sincere tone: "The reputation of the university scholar is all over the world, it is the pride of Qingyang City, although Xia Fan is stubborn, he has also admired the scholar for a long time, so he will pester Miss Yang Er to bring me with him, uninvited, and I hope the scholar will forgive me." ”

Yang Liu, who was waiting for Xia Fan to make a fool of himself, was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect Xia Fan to directly admit her words.

"Well, Xia Ershao's name, the old man has also been famous for a long time, but there is no class, since you are here, let's sit down first."

Chen Zirong nodded noncommittally.

Although the tone was quite cold, in terms of attitude, there was no prejudice against Xia Fan because of Xia Fan's past reputation.

This made Xia Fan's sense of Chen Zirong instantly increase by several amplitudes.

"Bachelor, I have a problem!"

Among the few people sitting on the floor at the low table, a young man dressed rather shabby suddenly stood up.

The man's robe had already been washed white, and there were even a few patches on it, obviously from a very poor family.

"Oh? What is Dongyang's opinion? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Chen Zirong glanced at the young man and said very casually.

"Scholar, the purpose of your tea party is to find talents who may be buried in our Qingyang City, and to select talents from the people for His Majesty today, so the scale of the tea party has always been controlled within a small range, and only those who are truly recognized as talented in our Qingyang City can be invited by you to participate. It is no exaggeration to say that although your tea party has only been held for two years so far, for all the scholars in the entire Qingyang City, they already regard the tea party as a holy place in their hearts. ”

The young man known as Dongyang straightened up and said loudly.

The other people sitting on the floor nodded involuntarily after listening to the man's words, obviously agreeing with the man's statement.

"So I think this Xia Fan can't attend the tea party! Even if it's just to sit in on the tea party, he's not qualified! Let one of the most famous gentlemen in Qingyang City! It is a blasphemy to come to the tea party by a notoriously uneducated and unskilled loser! It's also a humiliation for those of us who attended the tea party! ”

The young man changed his words, and suddenly turned his head and pointed at Xia Fan and said loudly.

From stating the facts to expressing opinions, the comparison between the two makes his remarks seem very reasonable.

When Yang Liu heard this, she immediately became happy in her heart, and she knew that as long as she brought Xia Fan over, it would inevitably cause many incidents.

See how you cope!

According to your temper, I'm afraid you're going to go crazy on the spot, right? When the time comes, the scholar will be angry and will inevitably kick you out, and it is best if you can't bear to quarrel with the scholar, then the fun will be great!

It's really relieving to think about it...... A look of excitement appeared on Yang Liu's face for a while.

And as the young man's words fell, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Xia Fan.

Even Chen Zirong just looked at it with an interested expression, obviously curious about how Xia Fan would react.

"This brother is ...... How to call it? ”

suddenly became the focus of attention, and was so named by the young man as cheap, but Xia Fan did not jump like thunder on the spot to everyone's surprise, but still looked like a smile on his face.

"My name is Liu Dongyang! It's just a poor scholar, and you haven't heard of it. ”

The young man said, leaning his neck.

"Liu Dongyang? Kindness...... Brother Liu, there are a few things I don't understand, and I ask Brother Liu to explain my doubts. ”

"Hmph."

The young man snorted coldly, as if talking to Xia Fan had already given Xia Fan a big face

"Who is running this tea party?"

"Naturally, it was done by Scholar Chen!"

"So what are the specific requirements for the attendees of the tea party? For example, do you need to be famous? ”

"Humph! The purpose of the tea party is to find those who have real materials, but they have never met scholars, how can they have any specific requirements! ”

"Oh, if that's the case, then I really can't figure it out, and I ask Brother Liu to teach me."

Speaking of this, Xia Fan owed, always had a smile on his face, and his tone was extremely gentle, without waiting for Liu Dongyang to reply, he asked with a puzzled face: "Since the tea party is organized by university scholars, and there has never been any standard for participation, everything is subject to the invitation of university scholars." Even if I am really a loser who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to learn, as long as I have the heart to learn, the scholar is willing to point to my stubborn stone, what qualifications do you have to question the decision of the scholar? Or is it ...... Do you think anyone who wants to come to the tea party has to get your permission? ”

As soon as the words came out, Yang Liu was stunned on the spot again, and the young man was also slightly stunned.

Xia Fan's reputation was all over the city, and the two of them really didn't expect him to be able to say such an orderly word......

"I ...... I'm certainly not questioning the Fellow's decision! Don't slander me! I'm just ashamed to be in the company of you guy who doesn't know how to learn! ”

After being stunned for a moment, the young man's face suddenly turned slightly red and said hurriedly.

"I see, that is, you have great respect for the scholar himself, but you simply don't like to be in the same room with me, and you think it's really an insult to you to sit with me like this, right?"

Xia Fan asked with a look of sudden realization.

"That's right! I, Liu Dongyang, only make friends with gentlemen, like you, who rely on your family background to run rampant in the city and bring disaster to the people in the township, I, Liu Dongyang, have always respected and stayed away! ”

Listening to what Xia Fan said, it seemed that he was back on track, and the young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a proud expression appeared on his face again.
