Chapter 26: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

After Wang Chen finished playing the package ticket, he said to Zhang Shumo again: "Big brother, don't be depressed, follow me to Xingcui Pavilion to relieve your boredom, just think that my brother wants you to make amends!" After speaking, he pulled Zhang Shumo and walked forward.

Only then did Zhang Shumo realize that he had unknowingly walked to the vicinity of Xingcui Pavilion, so he hurriedly rejected Wang Chen.

Wang Chen stiffened his face: "What? Could it be that the eldest brother is still angry with my Wang family, so he refuses to accept my reparation? ”

Zhang Shumo hesitated for a moment and said, "No, it's not that I'm angry, it's just that I'm ......" Before he finished speaking, Wang Chen picked him up again and walked towards Xingcui Pavilion: "Big brother, just give me face." ”

The woman in the Qinglou at the door of Xingcui Pavilion hurriedly greeted the two, and Zhang Shumo was dragged into Xingcui Pavilion like this.

Wang Chen is a frequent visitor to Xingcui Pavilion, and as soon as Xingcui Pavilion's mother saw Wang Chen, she ran over with small steps: "Wang Gongzi, you are here today, Miss Yunyan has rehearsed a new dance, and she will perform in a while." Hey, this boy is a little blind, I don't know what to call it? ”

"This is my famous genius Zhang Shumo in Shanyang Academy, and he won the first place in the Qixi Poetry Conference!" Wang Chen introduced Zhang Shumo.

The woman in the Qinglou doesn't care if she is talented or not, when her mother heard it, she pulled Zhang Shumo and said: "Oh, it turns out that Zhang Gongzi is here, girls, come and serve Zhang Gongzi!" ”

The two girls grabbed Zhang Shumo's arm one left and one right, and Zhang Shumo hurriedly asked Wang Chen for help: "Wang, Wang Chen, if this is the case, I will leave." ”

Wang Chen looked at Zhang Shumo's embarrassment and laughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have some things to discuss with Zhang Gongzi, so I won't bother you to accompany you." I also asked my mother to arrange a place for us closer to the stage. ”

The two sat down, the guys served melons and fruits and refreshments, and the two enjoyed the tea while watching the women on the stage playing the piano and strings. Wang Chen took out a few taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Shumo: "If the eldest brother thinks which woman is pleasing to the eye, he can reward them." ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "This, this habit can be raised, but it can't be raised, and I'm not enough to spend that little money." ”

The two of them chatted and listened to the music, and after a while, it was finally the turn of Yunyan Girl to appear. Yunyan's light and graceful posture immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, and Wang Chen stopped talking, staring at Yunyan with straight eyes.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded, and the guys in the audience cleared their throats and shouted: "Li Liang Gongzi will be rewarded with 5 taels of silver, Liu Liu Gongzi will be rewarded with 5 taels of silver, and Niu Qi Gongzi will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver!" ”

Yunyan hurriedly saluted the sons on the stage, and even stepped down to toast Niu Qi.

Zhang Shumo looked at Wang Chen: "You, why don't you give a reward?" ”

Wang Chen smiled: "How insincere it seems to be with them. After saying that, he summoned the man.

After a while, the guy hurriedly ran to the stage and shouted again: "Wang Chengongzi, reward 20 taels of silver!" ”

As soon as the guy shouted, Yunyan looked up, saw Wang Chen, smiled at him, and then thanked Niu Qi and walked towards Wang Chen.

As soon as Yunyan left, the people around Niu Qi pointed to Wang Chen's table and said, "Big brother, that person is Wang Chen, and Zhang Shumo is next to him!" "It was none other than Niu Ci who spoke.

Niu Qi scratched his eyebrows: "It's the one who spends money to buy poetry?" Sure enough, it's a merchant's house, and it's so willing to reward a prostitute, and let's see how I make these two people ugly. ”

Yunyan thanked Niu Qi and walked straight to Wang Chen, and greeted the two with a smile: "Wang Gongzi, Zhang Gongzi is good!" After speaking, he gave Wang Chen a wine: "Prince Wang, let you break the bank again." ”

Wang Chen took the wine glass and drank it all: "It's my luck to be able to see the dancing of the Yunyan girl, how can I break the cost?" ”

Yunyan covered his mouth and smiled: "You always praise me like this, I will be proud." ”

"That's also the capital you have to be proud of! Otherwise, how could you provoke so many toads? Who is that Niu Qi? I don't think I've seen it before. Wang Chen said as he motioned for Yunyan to sit down.

Yunyan smiled: "Isn't Wang Gongzi jealous?" Is the slave family a man who covets these taels of silver? But that Niu Qi has some origins, I saw Niu Ci sitting next to him. ”

As soon as they heard Niu Ci's name, Zhang Shumo and Wang Chen instinctively looked at the Niu family's table, and sure enough, the Niu family was also looking at them.

At this time, Niu Ci and Niu Qi both got up and walked towards this chapter of Shumo.

"Isn't this Wang Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi? It seems that the relationship between the two sons is really deep, no wonder Wang Gongzi would buy poems for Zhang Gongzi. Niu Ci was at the table, and began to disgust the two.

Wang Chen stood up, tilted his head and said, "Niu Ci, you dare to come to Da Se when you are a defeated general, I'm afraid you don't think you lost badly enough?" ”

As soon as the two looked at each other, they were tense, and the people around them also knew about the competition between the Wang family and the Niu family, and they all looked lively with interest.

Niu Ci snorted: "When did I lose?" That day, your father himself said it was a draw! ”

Wang Chen smiled: "That day, even your grandfather praised my eldest brother's poems for being good, my father was soft-hearted, and he was afraid that you wouldn't be able to come to the stage before saying that it would be tied." And even if Wen Dou draws, you fight the crickets but lose to me, so it's not my victory? ”

"It is worthy of being the prince who buys poetry and literature, and it is natural that such a brazen thing can be said, Niu someone admires, admires!" Niu Qi on the side suddenly saluted Wang Chen.

Zhang Shumo on the side was warm and angry in his heart, and he also got up and saluted back: "This, this son is even convinced, even the rumors in the market, and he admires and admires it very much." ”

Niu Qi looked at Zhang Shumo and said playfully: "Originally, I didn't believe it, but I believed it after seeing Zhang Gongzi!" ”

"What are you that dare to make a big deal out of here?" Wang Chen slapped the table violently and jumped up.

Niu Ci also slapped the table violently: "The surname Wang, be careful when you speak!" This is my eldest brother Niu Qi, his father was an official in Xu Liangcheng, so Niu Qi's eldest brother grew up in Xu Liangcheng since he was a child, and he is a famous talent in Xu Liangcheng! Don't say that your poems are bought, even if they are really made by yourself, Brother Niu can't look down on him, you must know that even the county guard praises him as a manufacturable material! ”

Everyone looked sideways when they heard Niu Qi's origin, Yunyan originally thought that the Niu family was too much this time, but as soon as he heard Niu Qi's identity, he understood that this Niu Qi was not something he could afford to provoke, so he had to coordinate from it: "Several sons are all famous talents in Qinghua City, so don't hurt the harmony." ”

Qinglou's mother also echoed: "That's it, since the sons are all well-known talents, how can they do a battle of words?" Today, everyone is here for my family's Yunyan, why don't you write a poem for Yunyan and talk about heroes with poetry? "Mom has a wishful thinking in her heart, if the two families come to fight for Yunyan today, then Yunyan's reputation will be spread out.

As soon as Wang Chen heard that he was going to fight again, he had a retreat in his heart, but who knew that Niu Qi was the first to say: "Fight with them?" One is a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and the other is a stammering person who has entered the body, and they deserve to fight with me? ”
