As the spring season is approaching, many people from all over the country who go to Beijing to take the exam, either to make a name for themselves, or to show their talents, or to confirm their knowledge, often will gather at the place to fight with the humanities, articles, six arts, poems, couplets, between the victory and defeat, there is always a lively to see. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

At this time, on the street of the clubhouse, not far in front of Zhao Junchen, there was a simple cultural fighting ring, which was only made up of a few tables.

A bamboo pole was erected next to the ring, and a white cloth three feet long and two feet wide was hung on the bamboo pole, with the word "Doulian" written on it.

Obviously, this is a ring that invites couplets.

It's just that in the ring at this time, a young student who seemed to be the champion sat there, his eyes were dull and empty, his face was gray and desperate, as if he had been hit hard, but for some reason he was wearing a white filial piety suit, which looked extremely dazzling.

Next to him, several other readers whispered something of relief.

At the same time, a middle-aged scribe dressed in a moon-white Confucian costume seemed to be about to leave the ring, and his mocking and sarcastic sneering look seemed to be engraved on his face, which made people look annoying, but was blocked by a young man.

"Xiao Wenxuan, you deceive people too much, do you really think we can't beat you?"

The young man pointed at the middle-aged scribe, his eyes were compelling, his face was full of anger, and he shouted loudly.

The middle-aged scribe still sneered, not afraid, glanced at the young man in front of him, and asked rhetorically, "Oh? Could it be that you won this gambling battle? Isn't it true that you can't fight me? You people are pedantic and stupid, and you are not as good as others. What else will there be besides strong words? Since you have set up the ring to gamble and fight for money, is it possible that the people who fight us are only allowed to lose and not win? ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged student named Xiao Wenxuan, the bitter taste in his voice became more and more obvious, and he said, "Also, what do you mean by Su Yao, blocking here?" If you want to win back the money, you can try again. However, only if you still have money in your hands, if you don't have money...... Although you are not well educated, you should have heard the saying 'a good dog does not get in the way'? ”

Listening to Xiao Wenxuan's sarcastic counterattack, the young man named Su Yao became more angry. But he couldn't say anything to refute, just pointed at Xiao Wenxuan with his finger, trembling all over.

Seeing Su Rao like this, Xiao Wenxuan was even more unforgiving, and after sneering, he asked again, "What?" Can't even understand human speech? Or do you want to regret losing and want to snatch the money back? If this is the case, then you say, I will return the money with both hands, and you are outnumbered. And I'm alone, and I can't beat you. ”

That Su Rao was already angry, and he had already planned to use his fists, but after listening to Xiao Wenxuan's ridicule, it was difficult for everyone to make a move. For a while, his complexion changed uncertainly.

"Brother Su." That's when it happened. The lord in the filial piety robe finally reluctantly cheered up a little under the comfort of his companions, and also stood up, but his voice was desolate. said slowly: "Our skills are not as good as others, and we are willing to gamble and lose." You just let him go, don't lose your morale. ”

"But if we let him go like this, won't all these days of hard work be in vain? Where can I find money to help you return to your hometown and keep your filial piety? ”

Su Yao asked unwillingly.

Hearing Su Yao's rhetorical question, the champion in filial piety couldn't help but be silent.

………

Actually, according to Zhao Junchen's slightly cold temperament, he didn't like to join in the fun, but when he saw the champion in filial piety clothes, as well as the dispute and conversation between Xiao Wenxuan and Su Rao, he couldn't help but be curious, and he also moved towards the ring-

It is human nature to watch the excitement, not only Zhao Junchen, as the quarrel appeared, the ring, which originally seemed a little secluded, was quickly crowded with people. Most of the onlookers waited with anticipation, waiting for the next development.

However, although Zhao Junchen was a little curious, he didn't want to crowd with the crowd, so he just stood on the edge of the periphery, watching the contradictions and conflicts in the ring, he was still curious.

………

"Brother Liang, it turns out that you are also here, and the foolish brother is a little confused, I don't know what happened here? This kind of literary fighting ring was originally a way for literati like us to confirm their knowledge, but now it has become a street quarrel, allowing passers-by to watch the jokes, which is inevitably insulting. ”

Having said that, while criticizing, this person still watched the conflict and dispute in the ring with great interest, without the slightest intention to stop it.

This "Brother Liang" obviously understood the whole story, and when he saw an acquaintance asking, a trace of pride flashed on his face, but then he sighed and said: "It turns out that Brother Zhang is also here, hey, I know a little about the things here." Brother Zhang, can you see the student wearing filial piety clothes? His name is Li Rui, he is a famous talent in Jiangxi, and he is also the champion of the ring here, although his family is poor, but his knowledge is good, and he is the best at couplets. However, the sky is unfair, a few days ago, his fellow villagers in Jiangxi brought news that his old mother had passed away. ”

The "Brother Zhang" shouted softly: "I see, no wonder he is wearing a filial piety suit." ”

The "Brother Liang" also shook his head and sighed, his voice was full of sympathy: "Yes, I have met this Li Rui a few times, and I also know a little about his situation, his father died early, and he was brought up by his mother over the years, and he was the most filial person. Now that he has finally recovered from his illness, he can no longer care about staying in Beijing to participate in the Spring Entrance Examination, so he wants to return to his hometown to keep filial piety for his mother. ”

"This Li Rui brother is sincere and filial, which is really admirable."

"Having said that, but things in the world are always unsatisfactory, Li Rui's family is already poor, a few days ago, in order to treat the disease, not only ran out of money, but also owed a lot of silver to the hospital, where is the silver to return to his hometown to keep filial piety? Although there are good donations from his fellow villagers, it is only a cup of salary, so he has set up a ring here since five days ago, betting on silver money. Gambling with others and wanting to win some money on the way home, although such an act is insulting, it is also excusable. ”

Speaking of this, "Brother Liang" changed his words, and suddenly there was more disdain in his voice, and he said: "Originally, it was a qiē shun lì." Li Rui brothers, he was already good at couplets, and after several days of gambling, he finally accumulated some silver taels, which was just enough to return to his hometown to pay off his debts, and he was about to stop, but he never thought that this Xiao Wenxuan would suddenly appear and provoke him with words. took advantage of the fact that the Li Rui brothers were recovering from a serious illness and their mental strength was weak, and they won many games in a row, but they won all the money. Hey, speaking of which, Xiao Wenxuan and Li Rui were originally friends, but a few days ago, for some reason, they suddenly became enemies, and now Xiao Wenxuan is acting like this, I am afraid that he also has a desire for revenge. And if you win, you win, it's all about your ability, I never thought that Xiao Wenxuan would win after winning. There are also many sarcastic remarks, and Li Rui's fellow villagers are so dissatisfied with themselves, which is why there is this conflict in front of them. ”

Hearing "Brother Liang" say this, the "Brother Zhang" also spit on him, and said hatefully: "Even if you take advantage of people's danger, you can prevent people from fulfilling their filial piety." Also narrow-minded. This Xiao Wenxuan is really a villain! ”

"Brother Liang" also nodded, and then sighed again, and said, "It's a pity, although this Xiao Wenxuan's character is unbearable. But his knowledge is solid, and Li Rui's acquaintances are good. Talent and knowledge are no less than me, but in order to stand out for Li Rui and fight with Xiao Wenxuan, he is still not an opponent, not only failed to seek justice for Li Rui's brothers, but they were all defeated, and put their own silver and reputation into it, so it seems that I am afraid that I am not his opponent, otherwise I will have to seek justice for Brother Li. ”

"Oh? If even Brother Liang is not this Xiao Wenxuan's opponent, I will be even worse, what a pity. ”

………

Between the conversations between "Brother Liang" and "Brother Zhang", Zhao Junchen already understood the whole story, and subconsciously frowned.

is not only because what Xiao Wenxuan did was really excessive, but also because of the two "righteous gentlemen" in front of him who are sanctimonious and full of benevolence and morality.

Without him, although these two people looked indignant, and the words in their mouths were full of righteousness and Ling Ran, but looking at their clothes, they didn't look like people who were short of money, but since they knew that Li Rui's predicament, they didn't plan to fund it, nor did they plan to come out, they just stood aside and watched the lively and high-spirited comments, and there was a faint excitement between their voices and expressions.

In fact, not only the two students in front of them, but among the onlookers at this time, there are many people in the know, for Li Rui's experience, Xiao Wenxuan's actions, some are indignant, some are sympathetic, but more are still watching the excitement with great interest, except for Li Rui's fellow villagers, but no one else has the intention of intervening.

"That's right, now that the trial is approaching, this ring is a bet on silver money, plus this Xiao Wenxuan's knowledge is not low, if he rashly comes forward but loses, in the end he will not only lose the money, but also lose his reputation, who will cause trouble?"

Between thoughts, Zhao Junchen shook his head.

It's none of your business, hanging high, human nature, in fact, including Zhao Junchen.

At the same time, Xu Qingyan also heard the whole story, and couldn't help but be angry, and said to Zhao Junchen: "Young master, this Xiao Wenxuan is really not a thing to prevent people from doing their filial piety, so you want a lot of masters to come forward and teach him a lesson?" ”

Although Xu Qingyan is a villain, he still has basic moral concepts.

Preventing people from fulfilling their filial piety, even in Xu Qingyan's eyes, is a heinous thing.

And in Xu Qingyan's opinion, Zhao Junchen is the champion of the year after all, and he is naturally a talented person, and he is not able to deal with a little-known Xiao Wenxuan?

Zhao Junchen didn't answer, just shook his head slightly, and then turned around and walked out of the crowd.

Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what Zhao Junchen meant, but he still hurriedly followed.

After leaving the crowd, Zhao Junchen came to the other side of the street, took the birdcage from Xu Qingyan's hand, and then ordered: "Qingyan, you go to see that Li Rui and subsidize him with some silver, it doesn't take much, I think thirty or fifty taels is enough for him to return to his hometown to pay off his debts, but that's all, there is no need to do more and say more, just if we are doing a good deed every day, I will wait for you here." ”

A person like Li Rui, who is extremely filial, although he just met in Pingshui, Zhao Junchen didn't mind helping him.

Regarding Zhao Junchen's decision, Xu Qingyan was puzzled and asked, "Young master, don't you plan to teach that Xiao Wenxuan a lesson?" If you want me to say, with your ability, young master, it will not be easy to win against him? It can be regarded as a lesson for him, let him know that there are people, and he will be a villain. ”

Xu Qingyan looked at Zhao Junchen's talent, but what he said was not wrong, some famous pairs in later generations, Zhao Junchen still vaguely remembered, and used it to fight Xiao Wenxuan, although he may not necessarily win, but he will not lose if he wants to.

But Zhao Junchen didn't want to do that.

"Qingyan, with my current status, even if I can't join in this excitement, I don't need to be in such a limelight, even if I win that Xiao Wenxuan? This kind of thing, it's okay to help when you see it, but you can't get involved in it. ”

Listening to Zhao Junchen's explanation, Xu Qingyan thought about it, it is true, with Zhao Junchen's current status and status, many things have been done but out of shape.

Therefore, although he was a little reluctant, Xu Qingyan still nodded, and then turned back to find Li Rui.

………

At this time, in the ring, Xiao Wenxuan had not left, and was still fighting with Li Rui, Su Yao and others, a nasty look of mockery and ridicule, Li Rui, Su Rao and others were obviously not eloquent, their faces were black or red, but they had no ability to refute at all.

But soon, Zhao Junchen saw Xu Qingyan squeeze through the crowd, went to the ring, said something to Li Rui, and lost some silver taels, and then ignored the prevention of Li Rui and others, and left quickly.

It's just that, for some reason, after seeing what Xu Qingyan did, Xiao Wenxuan no longer entangled with Li Rui, Su Rao and others, and followed Xu Qingyan out of the ring.

After another moment, Xu Qingyan had already returned to Zhao Junchen's side, and Zhao Junchen did not delay, and took Xu Qingyan to the depths of the street.

In Zhao Junchen's view, this matter is just an inconsequential episode, and there is no need to continue to waste time.

It's just that although Zhao Junchen didn't want to do more, he didn't take two steps, and not far behind him, someone was already calling: "The son in front, please stay and talk." ”

Hearing someone calling, Zhao Junchen turned around helplessly, but when he saw the person calling behind him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

I thought it was Li Rui who came to thank him, but he didn't expect that it was Xiao Wenxuan, who had been embarrassed by Li Rui and others in the ring before.

On the other side, Li Rui and the others were still congested by the crowd of onlookers, unable to move an inch.

Xu Qingyan had a very bad impression of Xiao Wenxuan, and after seeing that it was Xiao Wenxuan who shouted to keep people, he couldn't help sneering and sneering: "What? Are you obsessed with filial piety? You took advantage of the danger of others and took away the silver that others used to return to your hometown to guard filial piety, not to mention, now that my young master is kind enough to sponsor you, do you still want my young master to take back those silver money? ”

When Xu Qingyan was sarcastic, Xiao Wenxuan had already walked in front of Zhao Junchen, and saw that Zhao Junchen was not very old, dressed luxuriously, with his entourage, and holding a birdcage in his hand, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Obviously, Zhao Junchen's image is a little different from what he imagined.

Regarding Xu Qingyan's sarcastic words, Xiao Wenxuan didn't care, and he didn't mean to refute it, so he nodded with a straight face: "This son, what the noble servant said is right, meeting with the son below, in fact, this is what it means, if you can, please also ask the son to take back the silver taels that funded Li Rui, I don't know if the son is willing?" ”
