Chapter 74: Celebration Banquet

Seeing Miss Yunyan, Zhang Shumo also understood why Wang Chen came to study. But how could Li Yi agree to a woman entering the academy? Even if Wang Chen is stalked, it will be immoral to let a woman enter the academy, if this is known to the world, wouldn't it be to poke Li Yi's backbone?

With this question, Zhang Shumo was a little absent-minded when he lectured. At the end of a class, Zhang Shumo was about to ask Li Yi, but Miss Yunyan stopped him.

"Yunyan has seen Zhang Gongzi, and after not seeing Zhang Gongzi for a long time, his talent is already like thunder."

"No, don't look at whose big brother it is, right?" Wang Chen followed Yunyan and walked over.

Zhang Shumo arched his hand towards the two: "It's Miss Yunyan who has won the prize." I don't know how Miss Yunyan is in the academy, all the men in this academy are men, I'm afraid there's something wrong with Miss Yunyan here, right? ”

Wang Chen laughed out loud after hearing this: "Haha, I didn't expect the eldest brother to have the same tone as Li Yi." Could it be that the eldest brother is also such a pedantic person? ”

Looking at Wang Chen's half-joking tone, Zhang Shumo didn't know how to reply to him so as not to make him angry.

At this time, Yunyan hurriedly relieved Zhang Shumo: "What Zhang Gongzi said is that the little girl knows that she can't come to the academy as her own identity, so the little girl came as Wang Gongzi's companion, so the little girl is just a companion, not a student." ”

Wang Chen also asked happily, "How is it?" This method is what I thought, even Li Yi can't speak, am I also very powerful? ”

Zhang Shumo smiled helplessly: "Only the virtuous brother can come up with this kind of method!" But I'm very curious, why does Miss Yunyan want to study? ”

Yunyan's face turned red, and he suddenly couldn't speak. Wang Chen, who was on the side, looked anxious, so he said for her: "Recently, the guests who came to Xingcui Pavilion always like to show off literature, Yunyan wants to read more books so that he can deal with those guests!" After hearing this, Yunyan nodded quickly.

Zhang Shumo also nodded, since Yunyan didn't come as a student, then others couldn't say anything. So he said: "I didn't expect Miss Yun to be so studious, I admire it!" It's hard for the virtuous brother, and he has to come to study every day. ”

Wang Chen hurriedly glanced at Zhang Shumo: "How can I be bitter?" I'm meant to be a reader, so I thought I was going to review my homework. ”

Zhang Shumo smiled and said goodbye to the two, Yunyan looked at Zhang Shumo's back, and silently remembered the song Mu Yunyan in his heart.

When he got home in the evening, Zhang Shumo told Lou Zaiying about the celebration banquet, Lou Zaiying originally didn't like to go to that kind of occasion, but as soon as he heard that Yang Xue invited him, he agreed to accompany Zhang Shumo without hesitation.

In the evening of the next day, the Yang family put up lights, and the characters in Thanh Hoa City were basically invited. Because Yang Xue won the prize, this banquet was quite luxurious. Dozens of tables of banquets were placed in the front yard of the Yang family, and many pots of chrysanthemums were placed in the backyard for people to watch, and seasonal melons and fruits were also placed, and the women of the Qinglou were invited to perform singing and dancing.

The boys' buddies drank and chatted together in groups, and people talked about Zhang Shumo's teaching Yang Xue to fight crickets.

"Do you say that Miss Yang's ability to fight crickets is really taught by Zhang Shumo?"

"I think it's true, there's no need for Miss Yang to lie for Zhang Shumo, it's not good for her!"

"But if Zhang Shumo is really as powerful as Miss Yang said, why don't you go to the competition?"

"Who knows, maybe Zhang Shumo thinks that the opponent in this competition is too weak and not worth his participation."

Niu Qi's face turned red with anger on the side, he put the wine glass on the table heavily, and stood up violently: "In the next opinion, Zhang Shumo is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation, because he was lucky, he caught a good cricket and gave it to Miss Yang, so Miss Yang will praise him!" When it comes to fighting crickets, maybe even I can't win! After speaking, Niu Qi turned around and left, leaving a group of unknown sons.

Niu Ci saw Niu Qi leave angrily, worried that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly followed.

In the backyard, Lou Zaiying and Zhang Shumo were leisurely admiring chrysanthemums and listening to music.

"Yang Xue said that you taught her to fight crickets, can you win the prize if you go to the competition?" Lou Zaiying couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Shumo smiled: "What? Do you covet other people's bonuses? ”

"How so? I'm just asking! Lou Zaiying hurriedly explained, but when she saw Zhang Shumo's bad smile, she immediately reacted: "Okay, you dare to laugh at me!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! There is no such thing as a competition, if I participate, I may or may not win. Zhang Shumo said.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the two: "What Zhang Gongzi said is quite pertinent, Miss Yang praised you, and the people thought that you were more powerful, but in fact, if you participated, you might not necessarily win." ”

The two turned around and found Niu Qi standing behind them.

Zhang Shumo smiled: "What Brother Niu said is extremely true, but the people don't know the truth. ”

Niu Qiben thought that Zhang Shumo would refute himself, and then he could take the opportunity to fight with Zhang Shumo, so that the world would know Zhang Shumo's true level. As a result, Zhang Shumo went directly to his words, which made Niu Qi not know what to take for a while.

Niu Ci on the side suddenly said: "Why is Zhang Gongzi arrogant? Last time you and Wang Chen won in the Red Mansion together, since Wang Chen can break into the semi-finals, I think Zhang Gongzi must be no worse than him. ”

Niu Ci also had a small calculation in his heart, Niu Qi always thought that Yang Xue could win purely by luck, and the crickets in Qinghua City were not very powerful. Therefore, Niu Ci hoped that Zhang Shumo could come forward to teach Niu Qi a lesson, so that he could understand that when it came to fighting crickets, the people in Qinghua City were indeed better than Xu Liangcheng.

But Zhang Shumo just wants to accompany Lou Zaiying to change her mood and let her get out of the grief of her mother's death. Therefore, Zhang Shumo did not answer Niu Ci's words: "The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the autumn insects will not be able to jump for a few days, but the chrysanthemums in the garden are particularly vigorous." The two sons are very knowledgeable, can they know why among these hundred flowers, only chrysanthemums can bloom proudly? ”

Niu Qi and Niu Ci were stopped by Zhang Shumo's sudden question, but Zhang Shumo deliberately gave the two of them the name of knowledge, which made the two of them very embarrassed for a while.

Niu Qi knew that there was no definite answer to this kind of question, and since Zhang Shumo deliberately embarrassed himself, he had no choice but to throw the question back to him: "Since Zhang Gongzi asked so, it means that Gongzi must know the reason." Everyone knows that we love chrysanthemum, and everyone present must be very interested in this issue, why don't Zhang Gongzi tell us about it? ”

At this time, there were still many people in the backyard, and when they heard the conversation of several people, they gathered around. One is to watch a lively, and the other is that Huaiguo people really love chrysanthemums, so they want to know the reason.

Zhang Shumo originally wanted to change the topic, but he didn't expect Niu Qi to incite everyone's curiosity, and even Lou Zaiying looked at him expectantly. Zhang Shumo knew that if he couldn't say why, he estimated that no one present would be satisfied.

So Zhang Shumo cleared his throat and said: "The reason why the chrysanthemum can bloom proudly is because it is a divine flower in the sky!" ”

Niu Qi laughed when he heard this: "Ridiculous, if Zhang Gongzi doesn't know the answer, he can admit it, why do you have to fool everyone with this reason?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "I didn't fool everyone, this is what I saw in the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". According to the book, there was an epidemic in the world in ancient times, and people got a strange disease that doctors could not cure. Fu Xi, the head of the Three Emperors, had a son named Youxiong, who heard that there was fairy grass in the Heavenly Palace that could cure strange diseases, so he sneaked into the Heavenly Palace to steal the fairy grass, but Youxiong was found by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals and arrested in the Heavenly Prison. ”

Zhang Shumo paused and continued: "The Jade Emperor has a daughter named Sister Lei, she was very moved when she heard about Youxiong's deeds, so she secretly released Youxiong, and eloped with Xiancao and Youxiong. Later, the two planted fairy grass in the world and relieved the suffering of the world. After the Jade Emperor found out, he no longer held the two responsible, and gave the fairy grass as a dowry to Sister Lei and Youxiong. This fairy grass grew into four elixirs in the world, namely chrysanthemum, yam, rehmannia and hyssop! ”
