"Duan Gongzi! Cao Gongzi once helped me return to Yangzhou, and I have been entertaining people since the full building of flowers, and the people who entertain are not all talents, there are also all kinds of magnates and businessmen, for me, they are not divided into professions, and there is no distinction between high and low, they are all my benefactors of Minyue, as long as they enter this courtyard, I will treat them equally, this is the hospitality that I have insisted on for so many years, I hope Duan Gongzi can respect me! Min Yue's words were sincere, although she helped Cao Yi to say it, but it was indeed the way she always treated people.

"Miss Minyue, I'm ......" Duan Xinde was shocked by Minyue's sudden serious attitude and solemn words, and he was speechless for a while.

Cao Yi was despised and endured by Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan before, and then after Lianxing entered, they didn't pay attention to Cao Yi, obviously they didn't look down on Cao Yi, but Cao Yi didn't care too much, he didn't have the amount to tolerate people, and he also had people who didn't want to deal with him, which was nothing, although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't bear it in his heart.

But Cao Yi is just a normal person, and he will still have the temper he should have, even if he has it before, but now in front of Min Yue, he despises himself so much, and the dissatisfaction and anger that he had been suppressing before all broke out at once.

"Duan Gongzi, I want to ask, Ling Shizun's surname?" Cao Yi asked calmly, but those who were familiar with him could see the anger hidden under his calm.

"Hmph, my master's name is also known to you, a little scholar, but today's sake is for the sake of Miss Minyue's face, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, my master is the famous Huaizuo Diaosu Zhao Qisi Zhao Gong."

Duan Xinde was originally said by Min Yue in public and felt that his face was dull, a little stunned, but at this moment, when he heard Cao Yi ask about his master, he instantly felt that there was brilliance on his face again, and his current spitting for Cao Yi was not so deep, looking at Cao Yi also felt pleasing to the eye, although this little scholar is not necessarily very talented, but he can be a man!

At the moment, I am quite complacent about my master, no way, who calls his master the most famous among the four talented teachers in Yangzhou, although he is not the first of the four great talents, but his teacher is powerful, and he naturally feels proud and proud as a disciple.

"Diaosu Zhao Gong is a highly respected elder, and I also admire the disciples who can teach them to become the four great talents, but what I want to say is that before teaching disciples to do knowledge, should we first teach disciples how to be people!"

Cao Yi's tone was calm, and even his voice was a little small, but the words he said were like thunder on the ground, falling heavily on the ears and hearts of everyone present. Including Min Yue and Lian Xing, and the other three talents all had shocked expressions on their faces at this time, their eyes were wide open and they looked at Cao Yi, and they all had the same idea in their hearts, you really dare to say this!

"You...... You ......" Duan Xinde stretched out his finger and pointed at Cao Yi, but he was so blocked by what Cao Yi said that he couldn't speak, his face turned red, then his face turned green, and then turned white, and so on.

"Cao An's little splash, you dare to insult my master!" After a long time, Duan Xinde said a complete sentence, the origami fan was closed, and it hit the palm of his other hand heavily, his face was hideous, and he was obviously angry.

"Me

What I, I didn't insult your master, it was your own actions that humiliated your master and disgraced your master. Let me ask you, do you think that you are one of the four great talents, and I am a little scholar, so I am inferior to you! Isn't it in your opinion, except for the four of you in the entire Yangzhou City, there is no one in the younger generation who is better than you, and you can look down on others at will, right? Let me tell you, Duan Xinde, there are many people in this world who disdain any genius to be famous. Even if you are one of the four great talents now, and others are not, can you conclude that other people's achievements in the future are destined to be inferior to you? Cao Yi squinted at Duan Xinde and said-for-tat.

Duan Xinde was about to open his mouth to refute, but Cao Yi didn't give him the slightest chance to speak, and added: "I can't compare to you now, it doesn't mean that I won't be able to compare with you in the future, their background is not as good as yours, and the teacher is not as famous as yours, but the background does not mean the real ability, if you change someone to be a disciple of Zhao Gong, it is difficult to say that their achievements, their talents, and even their personalities are better than you, never think too highly of yourself, let alone despise anyone, you must know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky." If your vision only stays at the current level, only staying in Yangzhou District, then I dare to pack a ticket for your achievements in the future life will be limited to this at most. ”

Cao Yi glanced coldly at Duan Xinde, who was blushing with a red face, and snorted coldly: "You must know that those who insult others are always humiliated, how much you look down on others today, you will be looked down upon by others in the same day." Chu Mingxuan, you are the same! The last sentence Cao Yi said to Chu Mingxuan, who was originally looking at the excitement with a subtle expression on the side.

As soon as Cao Yi finished saying this, Min Yue and Lian Xing both had brilliant eyes rippling, which said that in their minds the demeanor of Jiang Ning's first talent, the previous Cao Yi was too indifferent to fame and fortune, looking kind and kind, without the sharpness and sharpness of the first talent, and now seeing Cao Yi preaching Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan alone, the two of them actually have a faint hope that the three of them can completely fight each other, and fight poetry and words.

And Shi Chengxuan was surprised by Cao Yi, but also felt a little pity. Cao Yi gave him the impression that he was humble and low-key, and he was a little brother who admired him very much. He used to feel that since Cao Yi was his admirer and praised himself so much, it was necessary for him to help Cao Yi as much as possible in Yangzhou, so he set the meeting place in Huamanlou, and invited three other talents, hoping to pull Cao Yi into the social circle of the top literati in Yangzhou, so that he could have a higher starting point in Yangzhou.

His intentions were good, but the reality was that Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan looked down on Cao Yi from the beginning of their meeting, feeling that Cao Yi was not at the same level as them at all, and was unwilling to deal with him. At the beginning, Shi Chengxuan felt that this was just a normal situation, he had already thought of this situation before, thinking that the first time they met, everyone would recognize each other safely, and if they got together a few more times later, they would naturally be familiar with it.

Originally, he thought that with Cao Yi's character, even if Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan looked down on Cao Yi, Cao Yi would not be good, after all, Cao Yi had always shown humility and kindness, but he didn't expect it to suddenly explode at the moment. The key is that Duan Xinde's master Zhao Gong is still involved, if Zhao Gong was not involved before, then he can still mediate and resolve in the middle, but now it has risen to a very serious level. After all, the prince of heaven and earth,

The emphasis is on being a teacher for one day and a father for life, and the teacher is said by others to not teach his disciples well, which is a big thing in this era.

At this time, Shi Chengxuan no longer intends to be involved, he will try to resolve it, but absolutely do not help each other, otherwise it is likely to provoke the fire, in case someone with a heart adds fuel and vinegar to say that he is also dissatisfied with Diaosuo, then in the future, he will be seriously affected in Yangzhou and even the entire Huaizuo literary circle and the development of his career in the future.

And Gong Qizheng has a new understanding of Cao Yi, Cao Yi's status in his mind has risen a lot, he was a little sympathetic to Cao Yi before, because at the beginning he characterized the relationship between the two sides as one side is the four famous talents in Yangzhou, and the other side is just a little scholar who reads with him, whether it is the chief, second or last seat, as long as the suffix is a little scholar who reads with him, then the prefix is useless even if it is said to be fanciful.

So he regarded Cao Yi as the weak side from the beginning, plus Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan were proud of their talents and ignored Cao Yi, so from the bottom of his heart, he was a little sympathetic to Cao Yi, or felt that Cao Yi was pitiful, so his attitude towards Cao Yi could still be said to be very friendly. Of course, Cao Yi's image in his mind will not be very high, he is just a little person worthy of sympathy, he will not bully or look down on the weak, but in the same way, he will not look down on him.

But now after listening to what Cao An said, he appreciates the character of the little scholar who is currently reading, just as he appreciates the poetry of Cao Yi, the first genius of Jiangning, with strong words, magnificent atmosphere, and heroic artistic conception. Although he has never seen Cao Yi, but he has been reading the poems he passed over for a long time, in his mind, Cao Yi is bound to be a superb, uninhibited and uninhibited maniac, otherwise he would never be able to write such a grand artistic conception, majestic momentum, unconventional, unrestrained, generous and generous words.

And the current little scholar Cao An, in the few words he interrogated Duan Xinde, he vaguely saw a trace of the demeanor of a madman, especially the last sentence "Chu Mingxuan, you are the same", which made him admire him even more.

Ask yourself, even if he is now one of the four great talents in Yangzhou like Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan, he would not dare to provoke the two of them at the same time, but this Cao An, who is just a little scholar who is a companion, is not afraid of the reputation of the two talents. In the case that his "first salute" was not recognized by the two but was despised, he dared to rise up as a "rear soldier" and take one against two, what a wild and uninhibited feat, which seemed to be a bit immeasurable, but it was tragic and passionate, and in his opinion, it truly embodied the "integrity of a scholar and the arrogance of a scholar". If it weren't for the wrong time now, he really wanted to toast this Cao An on the spot, and the taste would be a big deal.

And the other protagonist of this incident, Chu Mingxuan, originally when Duan Xinde complained that Cao Yi was just a little scholar, he just looked at it with a sneer, when Cao Yi counterattacked Duan Xinde, although he was quite surprised in his eyes, but it was just the kind of look that looked at the little people who were incompetent and furious to look at Cao Yi, but he never thought that this Cao An would dare to provoke himself while ironizing Duan Xinde, which in his opinion was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and using a mantis arm as a car.

"Hehe, very good, Cao An, now you deserve to let me face you." Chu Mingxuan sneered.
