Chapter 75: Competition
Everyone was amazed when they heard Zhang Shumo's explanation, and some old men couldn't help but ask: "Aren't these four elixirs the four great elixirs of our Huaiguo?" ”
Zhang Shumo nodded: "That's right!" The four great medicines of our Huaiguo are transformed from the fairy grass of the Heavenly Palace, and the chrysanthemum is one of them, because it is born extraordinary, so it can be proudly opened! ”
When Zhang Shumo said this, the people present rose with a sense of pride. The old man just now arched his hand to Zhang Shumo: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your doubts." We and other coarse people only know that the four major Chinese medicines sell well in various countries, but we don't know that there are such allusions. I see that Your Excellency is well-read and eloquent, but I don't know which family you are the son of? ”
Zhang Shumo hurriedly arched his hand towards the old man: "Qinghua City Lou family, Zhang Shumo." ”
Lou Zaiying saw that Zhang Shumo took the initiative to report the name of the Lou family, and then he was worried, the literati in the Qingliu world have always valued their background, didn't Zhang Shumo report the name of the Lou family to confirm the identity of the family?
"It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi! I have long heard that Zhang Gongzi can be literate and martial arts and can fight crickets, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary! The old man laughed.
Zhang Shumo was about to reply, but Niu Qi flicked his sleeves and said, "Hmph! It's just a vain. He just made up a story, don't be bluffed by him! ”
Zhang Shumo smiled helplessly: "I'm just telling the record in the book, if Niu Gongzi doesn't believe it, you can go back and read it yourself!" ”
The old man glanced at Niu Qi a few times, and then asked: "This prince seems to have doubts about Zhang Gongzi's talent, and he is not a nameless person, I don't know your Excellency's surname?" ”
Niu Qi arched his hand towards the old man: "Don't dare, it's the Niu family in Qinghua City, Niu Qi." The father of the family is Niu Heng, the chief bookkeeper of the county guard. ”
When the old man heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand towards Niu Qi: "It turned out to be Niu Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful!" In Xia Linhao, in Xu Liangcheng to do medicinal materials business, Niu Gongzi's name is also well-known in Xu Liangcheng! Speaking of this, Lin Hao subconsciously looked at Zhang Shumo: This Niu Qi obviously wanted to dismantle Zhang Shumo's platform, so he simply pushed the boat down the river to give him the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao laughed: "I didn't expect that the two talents could gather together today, it's really rare." At the moment, the beautiful scenery of the good day, why don't the two sons splash ink and let me and other rough people open their eyes? ”
Zhang Shumo glanced at Lin Hao, disdainful in his heart: It's not a businessman, as soon as he heard about Niu Qi's identity, he began to greet him, and it seemed that he had to find a way to leave.
Niu Qi also frowned, Zhang Shumo's poetry skills he had seen, compared to poetry Niu Qi felt that he was not sure of winning, so he said: "Today is Miss Yang's celebration banquet, to celebrate Miss Yang's victory in the cricket fighting competition, why don't we compete with crickets today?" ”
Zhang Shumo was about to refuse, but saw Yang Xue striding towards this side: "If you want to compete with my master, win and I'll talk about it first!" ”
Everyone looked at Yang Xue in search of voices, but Yang Xue walked straight to Lin Hao: "Grandfather, you have read countless people, do you still use it here to open your eyes?" ”
Zhang Shumo didn't expect Lin Hao to be Yang Xue's maternal grandfather, and he didn't expect Yang Xue to say that Lin Hao was not in front of so many people for himself, and he was quite grateful in his heart, so he nodded at Yang Xue.
Lou Zaiying saw it in her eyes, and she was quite annoyed in her heart: Okay, you Zhang Shumo, you dare to look at others in front of me, see how I clean you up when I go home!
Niu Qi laughed: "Zhang Shumo, do you want to hide behind a woman?" ”
Zhang Shumo spread his hands: "I also want Niu Gongzi to learn something, but unfortunately I don't have crickets." ”
Niu Qi expected that Zhang Shumo would say this, so he said: "It's okay, I didn't bring it either, we can catch it now!" ”
Most of the people present heard that Zhang Shumo was Yang Xue's master, so they were very curious about his ability to fight crickets, so someone instigated him: "Promise him, we will help you catch it!" ”
Some people also said: "Promise, Zhang Shumo, let's see if you really have that ability!" ”
The people in the backyard just started to make a fuss, and the atmosphere became lively.
Zhang Jian and Yang Hua were drinking and chatting with a group of officials, and suddenly heard the movement in the backyard, Zhang Jian couldn't help but ask: "Lord Yang, isn't there any wonderful performance in the backyard, how can it be so lively?" ”
Yang Hua thought for a while: "I did find some singing, but it won't be so lively, my lord, wait for the lower officials to take a look." ”
Zhang Jian waved his hand: "Since the people in the backyard are so enthusiastic, there must be something strange happening, why don't we go and take a look." ”
In the backyard, Niu Qi raised his chin in Chaozhang Shumo: "How is it, do you dare to compare with me?" ”
When Zhang Shumo was hesitating, he heard a voice not far away: "What are you trying to compare?" ”
Everyone looked for prestige, it turned out that it was the county commander Zhang Jian who walked over surrounded by a group of officials, everyone quickly got out of the way, Zhang Jian came to the two of them, and waited for them to return.
"Lord Qiyu, thinking that today is the celebration banquet for Miss Yang to win the championship, I want to fight with Zhang Gongzi to help the fun." Niu Qi said.
Zhang Jian glanced at the two of them, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. Yang Hua won a lot of good reputation because of Yang Xue's cricket victory, which made Zhang Jian a little jealous in his heart, and Zhang Jian, as a scholar, finally looked down on the sideways of fighting crickets.
So Zhang Jian said: "What is it better than fighting crickets?" Miss Yang, a female streamer, can win the championship in the competition, which is naturally a beautiful conversation, what are you two doing together? Since both of you are young talents, in the opinion of this official, how about comparing poetry? ”
As soon as the county master's words came out, Zhang Shumo and Niu Qi couldn't refute it. But Niu Qi knew that Zhang Shumo's poetry skills were not bad, and even stronger than himself, so he started to think crookedly: "What the adults said is in line with their hearts, but I heard that Zhang Gongzi's poems have always been related to male and female love, why don't we give Zhang Gongzi a chance to correct his name today, and the adults will come up with the questions, how about we compose poems according to the title?" ”
The difficulty of composing poems according to the mention is definitely greater than free play, but Niu Qi is sure that Zhang Shumo is not good at poetry on other themes, so he deliberately said so.
Zhang Jian looked at Zhang Shumo: "Zhang Shumo, can you agree with Niu Qi's suggestion?" ”
Zhang Shumo hurriedly saluted Zhang Jian: "Obey the arrangement of the adults!" ”
Zhang Jian laughed happily: "Okay, the two of you are really bold artists, since that's the case, I'll solve the problem." After speaking, Zhang Jian paced two steps, and his eyes were fixed on Yang Hua: After all, this is the Yang Mansion, and he belittled Yang Xue just now, so let's lift Yang Hua now.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jian said: "A few days ago, under the command of Lord Yang, the officers and soldiers of our city broke the Baishan bandits, and the people in the city applauded. ”
