Zhang Shumo got the money and rushed to the casino non-stop. The housekeeper of the Wang family couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the back of Zhang Shumo leaving: "I didn't expect that this chapter of Shumo's poems was actually bought by the young master, what is this called." ”

On the side of the casino, Zhang Shumo gave money, and Liu Bao and the others naturally couldn't say anything else, so they had to let Lou Guang go, and everyone followed Master Lou to Lou's house.

The group had their own hearts, and no one spoke. Master Lou thought to himself, what was the purpose of the Fusheng Gang letting him do this? Mrs. Qing and Lou Zaiying were worried about where to get 100 taels to return to the Wang family. Lou Guang was thinking about how he could reduce the punishment when he went back, but Zhang Shumo was thinking about what the Fusheng Gang's intention was in doing something to the Lou family this time.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Shumo finally asked: "Grandpa, what does the Fusheng Gang want you to do?" Is it really, really a rogue who has been released? ”

Master Lou turned around and looked at Zhang Shumo for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, you still have to think about how to repay the money." After speaking, he looked at Lou Guang again: "From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave Lou's house for half a step without my permission, when will the martial arts be a little successful, when will the ban be lifted." Otherwise, I would not have you as a grandson. ”

The next day, a group of literati and artists came to the Red Mansion to drink tea and listen to music as usual, and a few people chatted and chatted about the poetry talents of the younger generation of literati in Thanh Hoa City.

"In my opinion, the younger generation should count the Niu Wen of the Niu family, he is a side branch of the Niu family, can have today's status, if it is not for his literary talent and outstanding poetry, Master Niu will appreciate him?"

"Not necessarily! Have you forgotten the night of the Tanabata Poetry Meeting? Zhang Shumo's poem is better than the Niu family, and even the county magistrate is full of praise. ”

Then he just made a poem, Niu Wen has been famous for a long time at a young age, and didn't the Wang family also say that it was a tie that night? How did it become Zhang Shumo's victory? Unless Zhang Shumo has another good work, I still think that Niu Wen is the best of the younger generation. ”

"Brother Tai is really a noble person, how forgetful he is, that day even Niu Zheng said that Zhang Shumo's poems were better, and the Wang family said that the tie was just to give the county master face. Therefore, when it comes to poetry, the younger generation should be Zhang Shumo. ”

Several literati and inkmen argued, and a middle-aged man at the next table couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph! Zhang Shumo is just a fame-seeker, how can he have any poetic talent! ”

When the literati and writers heard this, they looked at the middle-aged man: "Why did Brother Tai say this?" ”

The middle-aged man laughed: "You don't know yet, do you?" The poem written by Zhang Shumo was actually bought by the young master of the Wang family! If it weren't for the poetry being written too late, Young Master Wang wouldn't be in a hurry, which round would get Zhang Shumo to chant this poem! After speaking, the middle-aged man put down the tea money and walked away.

After hearing this, the literati and inkmen looked at each other, and hurriedly inquired about the person just now, and the shopkeeper took the tea money and said: "This person is the housekeeper of the Wang family, even he said so, it seems that this must be true." ”

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, and in just two days, the news of Zhang Shumo buying poems spread.

Zhang Qian angrily walked into the room where the gentlemen were resting and came to Zhang Shumo: "Zhang Shumo, it is rumored outside that your poems were bought, tell me the truth, did you buy your poems?" ”

Zhang Shumo's eyebrows were together, and he was very depressed in his heart: If he told the truth, then let Wang Geng know that he would definitely come to ask for the 100 taels back, how could he have the money to pay him back now? It seems that I have to admit it.

"That's right, yes, it was Young Master Wang who asked me to buy it!"

"Huh? What a humiliation! How can you do such a thing. When the other gentlemen heard this, they immediately criticized.

"That's it, if we knew that the poem was bought, we might as well admit defeat directly!"

Zhang Shumo was depressed, and didn't want to listen to these people's nonsense, so he said: "It was the king and the young master Wang who asked him to buy it, and you have the ability, you can find him to talk about it." ”

"You! Hum! As a scholar, you shouldn't have promised him such a thing! After Zhang Qian finished speaking, he was put behind his back with his hands, looking domineering.

In the midst of everyone's verbal criticism, Zhang Shumo finally survived to go home. As soon as he entered the house, Lou Zaiying seemed to be waiting for him to come back.

"I heard today that the poem you wrote to me that day was bought?" As soon as Lou Zaiying saw Zhang Shumo coming back, she asked unceremoniously.

Zhang Shumo was already angry in the academy, and he was very unhappy when he heard Lou Zaiying's inquiry: "You, do you believe them or believe me?" ”

"I want to believe you, but even the people of the Wang family admit that they paid you to buy the poems!"

"Huh!" Zhang Shumo sneered after hearing this: "Yes, no, that's right, they spent 100 taels to buy and buy a poem for me, and let me send it to you!" After speaking, Zhang Shumo rushed out of the door.

Lou Zaiying stood aside: Why is he suddenly so fierce? Wait, why did he murder himself? It's obviously that he's wrong, but it's a poem he gave himself, and he actually bought it with money! I also fantasize that he is also a talented man, and he is a big fool at all! The Wang family actually spent 100 taels to buy him poems, which is really blind! Wait, why did the Wang family buy him poems? Or exactly 100 taels? Is there something strange about this?

Zhang Shumo didn't know why he suddenly lost his temper, but when he thought that he had to endure this evil anger for the sake of Lou Guang, Lou Zaiying didn't understand, he was wronged in his heart!

While thinking, Zhang Shumo was walking aimlessly on the street, and suddenly Wang Chen's voice came from behind him.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Zhang Shumo turned his head and saw Wang Chen, and he was inevitably unhappy: the news of buying poems must have come from the Wang family, but he didn't expect the Wang family to spread the word outside regardless of their own reputation.

"Big brother, why don't you speak?"

Zhang Shumo looked at Wang Chen's appearance, he didn't seem to know, so he said tentatively: "Heart, bad mood, just go, go." ”

Wang Chen screamed twice: "Who is so short-sighted and dares to provoke my eldest brother, you name it, brother, I will find someone to beat him!" ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the virtuous brother won't be able to do it. I don't know who left and leaked the news, saying that the Wang family would buy me poems. ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Wang Chen didn't seem to believe it: "Although someone heard about it that day, but this matter is related to the reputation of my Wang family, and they dare to spread it?" ”

Zhang Shumo sighed, although Wang Chen was arrogant and domineering, he was not bad to himself, and he was not a scheming person, it seemed that he really didn't know. So he said: "Anyway, it's spread on the street, I'm afraid that the cow and the cow family are scolding you and me." ”

Wang Chen scratched his head: "Big brother, don't worry, I'll go home and investigate, if it's really that person who said that he missed the news, see if I don't tear his mouth!" ”
