Chapter 132: I Can Afford to Lose

ps: The author in the 40-degree hot wind in Suzhou wants some recommendation votes and rewards~

"Them?" Xu Deyan looked at this group of people with some surprise, the two highnesses and Xiao Shilian before and the three of them can be said to be on the same footing, how can they now look like best friends who have not seen each other for many years?

And Pei Yun seemed to have guessed something, and smiled slightly: "Maybe it's 'don't fight and don't know each other'." ”

Xu Deyan seemed to understand or not, and thought that the "fight" that Pei Yun said was just a competition in poetry: "This Li Xinchen Li brother really has some ability, and he is kind to my Xu family, if they can intersect, it would be great." ”

Pei Yun's eyes fell on Li Xinchen, for him, the main purpose of Xu Deyan's existence was to help him successfully pass the first two levels of this poetry meeting. After all, this time the poetry meeting was held by Xu Deyan's grandfather Xu Ling, so Pei Yun believed that Xu Deyan would know something in advance, or know some unpopular poems that his grandfather might have involved when he came up with the topic.

And it turns out that Pei Yun's guess was right. It's a pity that when it came to the third level, Pei Yun's own level was still a little worse after all, and he didn't win the crown in the end, but Pei Yun was already very satisfied, after all, Xu Ling wrote a comment for each work, and pointed out a few things that could be improved in Pei Yun's works, and obviously looked forward to this grandson's companion.

This is enough for Pei Yun. After all, what he needed was not that laurel, but the attention and even favor of old ministers like Xu Ling in the court. Such as Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng, even if they really took off the laurels, they would not leave too much impression in Xu Ling's heart, because it was impossible for Xu Ling to recommend two princes when he recommended his juniors.

can only kill one Li Xinchen in the air, and finally steal the limelight from everyone else, and Pei Yun's previous efforts for this poetry meeting will obviously be in vain. Therefore, when he saw Li Xinchen, Pei Yun didn't have much expectation, but was very disgusted with this guy who was obviously "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger".

"Since Brother Xu wants to make friends, let's go up and say hello, after all, everyone has also traveled together at the end." Pei Yun bit the four words "walking together" very hard.

Xu Deyan suddenly remembered the mutual suspicion and wariness between the last few people, and couldn't help frowning: "That's it, since you sincerely want to make friends, you should prepare enough gifts and articles to write, and pay a special visit, today is a shame." ”

Looking at Xu Deyan, who had already made up his mind, Pei Yun snorted lowly, this nerd. However, when Xu Deyan looked over, Pei Yun smiled slightly, and the disgust in his eyes just now flashed and disappeared: "What Brother Xu said is extremely true." ”

With the approval of his companions, Xu Deyan nodded again and again, gently tapped his left wrist with his right hand, and muttered the poem that Li Xinchen had just written. Although it had been a long time, he still remembered it well.

Squinting at his companion who was satisfied with being able to memorize this poem, Pei Yun sighed deeply in his heart, this nerd who has a good brain but only knows how to read!

"Grandpa Xu, this time you lost, you should tell me what to do!" Princess Ning Yuan pinched her waist to block Xu Ling's way, "You're so old, you don't know how to speak, don't you count?" ”

Xu Ling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although the old man is old, how can he talk and not count." But His Highness seems to have made some mistakes in what he said, and dare to ask His Highness which eye saw the old man lose? ”

Princess Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment: "The laurels are all in the group I bet on, why didn't I win and you lost?" ”

"Your Highness's words are wrong." Xu Ling said in a deep voice, "Didn't the group that the old man bet on abstain from, how can His Highness not know, if that group participates, will he not be able to win the crown?" ”

But they all agreed that the Li family's elder brother's poems were well written! What's more, even if the elder brother of the Xu family doesn't participate, isn't there still one person in their group, and that person's poetry didn't win the laurels, which means that you lost! Princess Ning Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and she said angrily, "Are you still playing tricks at such an old age?!" ”

Princess Ning Yuan said it in a Taoist way, but it was Xu Ling's turn to be speechless for a while. And Shen Jungao, who was watching the excitement next to him, suddenly smiled and said: "Ming Gong, if you lose, you lose, Ming Gong has won too much in his life, can't he afford to lose in the end?" Ming Gong can afford to take it and put it down! ”

"Ji Gao, don't come here to add oil and vinegar!" Xu Ling snorted coldly, but there was still an unconcealable smile in this voice, and the old man turned to look at Princess Ning Yuan, "Your Highness Bingxue is smart, this time the old man admits it, since he lost, the old man should meet His Highness's request, as long as His Highness thinks it is feasible, the old man will definitely do it for His Highness." ”

Princess Ning Yuan's eyes swirled around, and then fell on her own sister beside her. Princess Lechang slapped her helplessly, this girl didn't know what the hell she was doing, so this bet was not good, and immediately she smiled and said: "Ming Gong don't be like A-Ning, A-Ning is still young, this time Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

"Hey-" Xu Ling hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt Le Chang's words, "Your Highness forgives your sins, and the old minister feels that His Highness's words are wrong." Losing is losing, if the old minister can't even afford to lose this, wouldn't it be a joke. ”

Shen Jungao covered his mouth on the side, his shoulders twitched slightly, if he wasn't afraid that Xu Ling would be angry, I'm afraid he would have laughed gloatingly.

Le Chang hummed helplessly, and Princess Ning Yuan suddenly remembered something, and opened her arms exaggeratedly: "Grandpa Xu, I have long heard that there are a lot of books in your house, and my sister likes to read, why don't I take my sister to your house to play one day?!" ”

Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little afraid that this girl would come up with some unrealistic wishes, such a request to pick stars in the sky, even if His Majesty usually heard it, he would have a headache, not to mention Xu Ling.

Fortunately, Princess Ning Yuan still knew how to be proportionate and did not make things difficult for Xu Ling.

"The old minister obeys the order, when the two highnesses want to come, they just need to send someone to inform them, and the old minister should prepare a banquet, sprinkle and sweep the court, and wait respectfully." Xu Ling said loudly. Anyway, I just came to the house to play, and I went to the Xuling Mansion, and His Majesty, who has always been fond of his daughter in every way, will definitely not object.

Princess Lechang shook her head slightly, and was about to say no, but when she thought that Xu Ling's study was indeed rich in books, especially there were many unique books that Xu Ling had worked hard to collect from all over the world when he was young, she was suddenly a little moved.

Anyway, just go to the study and have a look, it's not a big deal.

Maybe you may also meet someone, such as Li Xinchen, who became a sensation at the poetry meetingΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Princess Lechang hurriedly pinched her fingers lightly, what was wrong with herself, she was suddenly so interested in a man?
