Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cleverness is Easy to Be Mistaken by Cleverness
The sky was gloomy for several days, but in the end not a single drop of rain fell. The clouds were pierced by the fierce sunlight, and in a short time they vanished, and the sky was clear.
The atrium, pavilions, flowers and trees of the Wangjia Garden are exquisitely arranged and very exquisite. Walking on the winding corridor, you can see the flowing water bridge from time to time, and the strange rocks are craggy. After careful study, I found that this layout actually coincided with the feng shui of the five elements of yin and yang.
A steward of the Wang family slowed down from time to time, maintaining a distance from Jun Ruochen. One of these two talented young men will soon be the uncle of the Wang family, and he will not dare to slack off.
"You say, Wang Yuanbao, this old guy asked me to bring me to the atrium of his house for a meeting, what kind of weird idea do you have?"
After walking with Jun Ruochen, I couldn't stand this dull and strange atmosphere, and couldn't help but open the topic.
"I can't think of it, and I don't bother to think about it, if you come, you will be safe." Jun Ruochen looked at the scenery of the courtyard casually, with an indifferent expression.
"It seems that you don't care at all about defeating me and marrying that Miss Wang family home." Lu looked at Jun Ruochen with a smile and secretly observed the change in his expression.
"Does it work if you don't pay attention? As the son of the Marquis of Qin, his father is a son-in-law, and many things are not something I can control. ”
Jun Ruochen was a little bored after speaking, and quickened his pace, obviously not wanting to talk about it anymore.
Coming to the atrium of the reception, the two young people involuntarily stopped in front of the screen at the door. A "June Sticker" by Xie An, a famous scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is impressively pasted on this screen.
After carefully appreciating it, he concluded that this was definitely a true handiwork of Xie An, and secretly smacked his tongue. Shaking his head, he turned the screen. I saw that the layout of this reception hall was elegant, and there was no glitz and vulgarity of the merchants' homes. Two old men who are over half a hundred years old, with ordinary clothes and extraordinary momentum, are high in front of the case. With a smiling gaze, he kept looking at himself and Jun Ruochen.
When he bowed and saluted, he secretly looked at the two old men, but found that there was no resemblance between these two eyebrows and Lu Jiu, and he didn't know where it was.
The two old men looked at each other and smiled, and introduced themselves smugly.
"Old man Yang Chongyi." The old man in a dark red robe, wrinkled all over his forehead, and a long gray beard bowed slightly.
"Old man Guo Wanjin." The old man, dressed in ordinary green clothes, with dark skin and extremely bright eyes, just glanced at the two of them coldly.
"Our two old fellows, entrusted by the fat man Wang, who is both a friend and an opponent, came to judge the victory or defeat of your last competition, and conducted a third assessment for you."
In front of the two Chang'an giants whose financial reputation is almost on par with Wang Yuanbao, Jun Ruochen is neither humble nor arrogant.
In the last round of the competition, Qin Ruochen knew that he was far from Brother Lu, and he had already admitted defeat first. The two elders should directly announce the questions of the third exam. ”
Guo Wanjin's eyes turned to Jun Ruochen with a hint of appreciation. And when he was passing by, he covered his chin, squinted his eyes and secretly looked at these two Chang'an billionaires from time to time, secretly thinking.
During the Kaiyuan period, this Wang ingots were famous in Chang'an. often recruits young and talented people with these two guys and sponsors them to study and enter the profession. According to the number of students selected and sent to the court as officials every year, to compete and compare, there are many officials in the court who are from their disciples. Most of the scientific research scribes gather the three of them every year, and although the three compete with each other, they have a great relationship and are known as the three wealthy friends of the capital.
Don't they know that such a swagger and recklessness will lead to their own death once they are attacked and seized?
Yang Chong
Yi's seemingly dim eyes swept the contemplative path like lightning, and smiled slightly without revealing his expression.
"This third contest is actually very simple, as long as the two of you answer one question. The answers are written on paper and not allowed to look at each other. ”;
The two servants of the palace handed over the exam questions and pen and ink paper, and Jun Ruochen opened it to see that the test questions were indeed extremely simple.
"If you have a favorite woman from a prominent family, how can you get her at the lowest cost?"
Isn't this exam question an allusion to the current situation of the two? How to marry the daughter of the richest man in the Tang Dynasty at the lowest price. Jun Ruochen picked up the pen and wanted to write, but suddenly found that this problem was a little difficult to grasp.
When I think about it, many of the answers are difficult to satisfy myself. After the half-burnt incense passed, Jun Ruochen finally wrote down the four sons of "Two Loves".
I looked at the road in amazement, but found that the road was long gone.
In the corridor of the atrium, Jun Ruochen walked less than halfway to the circuit, and suddenly found that the road was in a hurry, and rushed back in a hurry, without even saying hello, and rushed to the atrium where the guests were greeted.
Yang Chongyi and Guo Wanjin were laughing, when they saw Lu Lu rushing in with sweat on their foreheads, looking at themselves nervously and pitifully.
"Two old gentlemen, two old men. The younger generation was distracted for a while, and the answer to the question was written incorrectly, I don't know if it can be counted? ”
Yang Chongyi spread his hands and smiled helplessly.
"Your answer has been sent to the fat son and his daughter, and you have been unanimously chosen. I can't imagine that this Wang Yuanbao can be lucky in his later years, so we have to prepare a generous gift and congratulate him in a few days. ”
"Bang" Lu slapped himself in the face, and looked at Guo Wanjin with pleading eyes: "This old man is okay, go and talk to your friend in the back, the answer of the junior should not be true." ”
"Humph! The Wang family recruited relatives and chose a son-in-law this time, and put on such a big show, do you think this is child's play! Guo Wanjin snorted coldly, and stared at the road sternly.
Remorseful to the road, a little trance out of the atrium, on the corridor depressed. Unexpectedly, Jun Ruochen was waiting for him halfway.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong? Rushing back in a hurry, walking back in despair, is there anything wrong with your answer? ”;
"Alas!" Lu sighed a long way: "I have been conceited and smart on the road, but this time I have made a big mistake." Others set traps in the answers, and I didn't even think about it, so I jumped headlong into it. ”
"Trap, what trap? How I didn't find out. Jun Ruochen was a little confused.
"Hey! Needless to say, if this news spreads, my reputation will be ruined. He sighed and looked weakly at the dazzlingly bright sky.
"Huh!" Jun Ruochen laughed: "Brother Lu is not an ordinary person, the answer must be extremely strange, not something that I, Jun Ruochen, can imagine." But I'm waiting here for Brother Lu for another thing. ”
That Lu Jiu won't really get married anyway, the thing he promised her has been done, and I don't think she will spread the word about it, making her already stinky reputation even worse. After passing by, I felt a lot relieved when I thought of this, and I looked up at Jun Ruochen when I heard the words.
"What's the matter?"
Jun Ruochen took a deep breath and stared at the road seriously.
"Since I was five years old, I haven't seen my mother's smiling face once, and I haven't been able to sleep until I wake up naturally. Every day, he was called up early and began to practice swordsmanship and martial arts. Except for the time to eat, he either reads books or learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he can't fall asleep until he is a child. At the end of the day, I couldn't sleep for three hours. Such a day
It's been almost thirteen years without interruption.
In this Wang family's recruitment and son-in-law selection conference, it can be regarded as my luck to meet an opponent like Brother Lu. Except for this final Q&A competition, Brother Lu and I won five games each, which was considered a tie. No matter what the final result is, I, Jun Ruochen, still want to compete with Brother Lu again to decide the winner. ”;
"What do you want to compare?" I was also a little eager to try.
"Brother Shangqing Guan Guye Dao once told me that Brother Lu's swordsmanship is Mr. Shixian Taibai, and his swordsmanship is ten times more exquisite than my Jun Ruochen. I Jun Ruochen has studied art for thirteen years, and I think that I will not lose to others in swordsmanship. I want to try it with Brother Lu to see if Brother Lu is ten times as much as Brother Gu Ye said,"
Jun Ruochen's eyes shimmered, and he looked at the road fixedly.
This Jun Ruochen didn't mention the sword, he almost forgot that the master of Yuzhenguan had a stern tone, and she was determined to get back the scene for the little Taoist Gu Ye, and defeat the first master of swordsmanship in the capital Chang'an, the younger generation.
The opportunity is sent to the door on its own initiative, and how can I refuse when I pass by. His mind was racing, and he looked at Jun Ruochen with a serious expression.
"It's an honor for me to be able to test my swordsmanship with Ruochen Gongzi. However, competing with a master like Ruochen Gongzi naturally cannot be taken lightly. I need to shower, change my clothes, meditate and breathe, and adjust my body and mind to the best condition. You see, how about tomorrow afternoon? ”;
"Good! can compete with Brother Lu in swordsmanship, naturally he can't do it hastily, and the time is set for tomorrow afternoon. How about this location, which was chosen at the Wangjia Shooting Range a few days ago? ”
"It's a deal!" After passing by, he stretched out his hand and swore with Jun Ruochen.
Returning to the Ruyi Building, where he lived temporarily, he quickly gathered everyone around him and stretched out his hands to them one by one.
"Hurry! Give me all your possessions. ”
"Why!" Pei Wuniang crossed her hands on her hips, and her beautiful eyes stared at the road.
"Don't think I don't know, the last time we played against me, you all made a lot of money on me. But as for me, I didn't have a single copper. He glanced around with a disgruntled gaze.
"Hehe" Gu Xihua smiled proudly: "That's our own bet to win, what does it have to do with you?" ”
"Humph!" Lu Lu snorted unwillingly: "I don't want to share the money you have won, but I have sent you another opportunity to make a fortune in front of you." ”
"What chance?" That's when Boss Hu, who had been bowing his head and being silent, was the first to ask.
"Hey, hey!" Lu smiled proudly: "Today in the atrium of the Wang family, that Jun Ruochen proposed to test swordsmanship with me. You say that as long as you declare it, you will greatly belittle my swordsmanship. Tomorrow, the Wang family will open the handicap again, and my odds will not be greatly reduced. When the time comes, we will bet heavily on me together, won't we all make a profit? ”
"But are you really sure that you can defeat that Jun Ruochen? I heard that his father, Jun Nanfeng, although he is a bachelor of Lizheng Academy, is a master of swordsmanship and is known as the first master of swordsmanship in the world. Jun Ruochen, who has learned swords since childhood, and has a family history, you really may not be able to win? ”
Pei Wuniang pursed her mouth, without the slightest intention of taking out her belongings.
"Shhhh You think I've got a lot of skills, what's the most powerful? He raised his head proudly.
"A belly full of bad ideas!" Pei Wuniang blurted out, Boss Hu thought so, and nodded again and again.
"Cheeky!" Gu Xihua covered her stomach and laughed.
Liuliuzi, together with the precious jade pendant, took out all his belongings and handed them to the road: "I believe you!" "Full Book - Free Full Book Reading Network
