As a place for the officials of the DPRK and China to retire and retire, Hongwenguan has always been relatively leisurely, except for a few old bachelors, it is some servants who do chores, and occasionally there are young officials who are not welcomed here, and it doesn't take long for them to either resign themselves or find a way to be transferred elsewhere, which shows how boring it is to work here.

Today's Hongwen Pavilion is not as calm as before, and several bachelors are looking around in the museum from a distance, and they don't read books, just young people who are touching around on the bookshelves, confused.

"Chu Xianzi, what's wrong~?"

"Why did he come to our Hongwen Pavilion~, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is actually by his side~?"

"What is he doing~, all the articles stored over there are scriptures~, if you look up the books~, why don't you see him look through them~, could it be that he touches it like this~, and he can write down all the contents of the book~?"

"I don't know~, I heard that this Chu Xianzi is suffering from some kind of hysteria, it seems that the rumors are true, but don't stimulate him, otherwise it will ......."

Thinking of the miserable fate of the King of Shu, several scholars immediately took more than ten steps back.

"What are you doing~?" Li Yue stood beside Chu Yun, also looking strange, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"You don't understand~, I'm going to try it tomorrow~, I have to familiarize myself with ....... today." While Chu Yun spoke, he picked up another book, and at the same time, in his mind, a book appeared out of thin air on the bookshelves that had been cleaned up, and Chu Yun put down the book and picked up another .......

"Familiar, familiar~."

Li Yue looked at him and shook her head a little helplessly, no matter when and where, he always acted so unexpectedly, people couldn't guess it at all.

However, looking at his appearance, I am afraid that he will already have the certainty of victory tomorrow.

Li Yue shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, thinking that he shouldn't be over for a while, so he simply walked outside the hall and waited~.

The Hongbunkan was unusually quiet, with only a few footsteps sounding from time to time, while outside the Imperial Palace, inside Kyoto City, it was already boiling because of a certain news.

Chu Xianzi defeated the Chu State in today's poetry competition, won back a city for the Xia State, and also relieved the people of Kyoto.

The two poems he made on the Golden Palace have already been posted, and as soon as the palindromic poems that can be read backwards came out, they not only blinded the eyes of countless people, but also immediately amazed countless literati, it turns out that poems can still be done like this~!

In addition, some gossip that people are talking about has also spread from various places in Kyoto.

For example, Zhao Mengchu, who is known as the "highest thousand-year-old poet" in the Chu State, didn't even make a poem today, just saw Chu County's poems, and immediately admitted defeat, admitting that he was "ashamed of himself", and asked for the original manuscript of Chu County's poems~.

Of course, some people also broke out that Zhao Mengchu is actually one of the admirers of Chu Xianzi's poetry, carrying a collection of poems written by Chu Xianzi with him, and he can only fall asleep by reading Chu Xianzi's poems a few times at night~.

For the people of Kyoto, what could be more relieving than winning today's competition~?

Of course.

That is, they not only have to win, but also win beautifully, win to convince the people of Chu, and this, Chu Xianzi has done.

On this day, the gloom and sadness on the faces of the people of Kyoto were swept away, and there was no more depression in their hearts; On this day, the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou in Beijing was almost full, and the literati chanted poems, trying their best to release their passion; On this day, countless boudoir women, each with a copy of "Bright Moon Collection", copied the latest song "Huanxi Sha-Dragon Boat Festival", reading "Beautiful women have met for a thousand years", and their faces were full of red tide~.

On this day, Rong'an County's Zichuyun is famous in Kyoto~!

"Are you still there~?"

In the backyard of the Jade Courtyard, under the wall outside, Lao Chen squatted on a stone, listening to the sound inside for a long time, and asked out loud.

After a while, he heard the sound of light footsteps again, and the girl said apologetically: "I don't know what's wrong today~, there are a lot of guests in the courtyard~, and I'm too busy to come~, I can't talk to you here~." ”

Lao Chen smiled and said, "It's okay~, you go get busy~, I'm going back too~." ”

"Then tomorrow~, I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow~." The girl said quickly, and the footsteps faded away.

Lao Chen stood up, patted the soil on his buttocks, walked back to the street, and when he walked past the butcher shop next to him, he thought that his mother-in-law liked to eat high-quality pork belly, and he had been chattering for several days, walked to the front of the shop, and asked the butcher: "Is this meat fresh~?" ”

The meat seller was also a rough man with a face full of meat, and when he heard this, he patted his chest and said: "Guest officer, don't worry~, this meat was just killed this morning~, and the fresh one can't be fresher anymore~." ”

Lao Chen nodded, "Come on three catties of pork belly~." ”

"Okay~!"

The butcher responded, slashed twice with a boning knife, wrapped the meat in lotus leaves, tied a rope, and said with a smile: "Three catties and six taels~, the guest officer, you have taken it~, wipe a change~, just count you as a penny~." ”

Lao Chen naturally does not lack those few dollars of silver, in fact, although it is still a little difficult to buy a big mansion in Beijing now, but during this period of time, a lot of silver has been saved, and the pillar can take ten wives, and there is still a lot of balance, and it can be regarded as a rich family, but I touched my waist, and I found that I was in a hurry this morning, and I didn't bring a penny.

Seeing this, the butcher guessed that he didn't bring any silver, and said with a smile: "The guest officer forgot to bring silver~?" It's okay~, you take this meat first~, and you can pay for the meat next time~. ”

Lao Chen smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will repay the debt~?" ”

The butcher smiled and said: "That can't ~, the guest officer has been here every day~, the villain sees that you are not such a person~, and this is happy today~, if you really want to repay the debt~, even if I give you this meat~! ”

"You are a meat seller~, what can you be happy about~, the mother-in-law at home has~?" Lao Chen took the meat, and he didn't shirk, and asked casually.

"Alas~, my aunt hasn't gotten a ...... yet." The butcher sighed, thought of one more thing, suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said: "But if you want to say this happy thing~, it's spread all over Kyoto~, the guest officer doesn't know~, the villain has to give you a good ......." ”

"Let's say that this Chu people are extremely arrogant, looking for faults everywhere in Kyoto, and this time they will directly make trouble in the court~."

……..........

……..........

After a while, Lao Chen's face was shocked, isn't this Chu Xianzi talking about his own uncle~?

In the morning, I saw my uncle go to the palace, but I didn't expect to do such a big thing, and even the meat vendors on the street knew my uncle's deeds~?

took the meat and left, Lao Chen didn't go home directly, there was a hook fence nearby, he planned to go in and find an acquaintance to borrow some money, and return the meat money first.

"Master~, slow down ......."

Outside the Goolan Gate somewhere in Kyoto, a middle-aged man with a pale face and an extremely weak body was supported by a servant and walked towards the Goolan Gate.

"Master~, let's go back~, those people~, those people ......." The servant opened his mouth with an embarrassed face, but was interrupted by a wave of the middle-aged man's hand.

"It's okay~, this cursing ~, the official can still bear it~." The middle-aged man's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was unusually firm.

Behind the two of them, a black man carrying meat walked into the hook bar, looked back again, and said: "The body is so weak~, don't take care of it at home~, what kind of hook fence is it......." ”

The servant in Tsing Yi was about to speak, but the man only said this sentence and turned away.

The master and servant walked into the fence, found a secluded place to sit down, and as soon as they sat down, they heard several people talking around them.

"This son of Chu County~, it's really a long face for our Xia Kingdom~."

"Yes~, this time~, look at how arrogant the people of Chu are~!"

"You said that if the Qian Zhongcheng won yesterday~, wouldn't there be no need to compare next~, it's all to blame for the surname Qian~, the chess skills are not good~, and you have to do what kind of hero ......."

Hearing everyone speak like this, the servant in Tsing Yi looked angry, while the middle-aged man only had a gloomy face and did not speak.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the master and servant raised their heads and saw that an old man had been seated on the platform in front of them.

"Hey~, Lao Zheng Tou~, don't talk about anything else today~, tell us about it~, that Chu county son~, how did you win the people of Chu~!"

"Yes, yes~, just say this~!"

After all, whether it is the people of the rivers and lakes or the people, they are all the people of the Xia Kingdom, and they should also care about the major affairs of the DPRK and China, in addition to gossip and miscellaneous talk, there are many things that are actually closely related to them.

The old man on the stage smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the noisy voice below immediately disappeared, and then said: "Chu County's big victory over the people of Chu Guo~, I believe everyone is very interested, the old man naturally wants to talk about it, but before that, the old man wants to talk about it first, yesterday's competition~." ”

The pale-faced middle-aged man raised his head slightly, and after a period of silence, it immediately became noisy.

"If you lose, you lose~, what's there to say~."

"Let's just say Chu Xianzi~, what is the surname Qian for~!"

"It's ~, let's talk about the morning competition~, we can't wait......."

The middle-aged man's fists clenched involuntarily, and his face became even paler.

The old man on the stage stretched out his hand again to stop everyone, and said: "Of course, the matter of Chu Xianzi has to be said~, but yesterday's matter~, there is another hidden situation~, Lord Qian was wronged in vain~, and was scolded by the people of Kyoto~, the old man is not unhappy~." ”

Hearing this, the servant in Tsing Yi was stunned, and the middle-aged man raised his head sharply and looked at the old man on the stage.

"Hidden feelings~?"

When everyone heard this, their faces also showed surprise, obviously the first time they had heard of it.

"What is the hidden secret~, could it be that in yesterday's competition~, the people of Chu actually made trouble~?"

"Tell me about it~, talk about ......."

In the urging of everyone, the old man slowly spoke: "Everyone thought that Qian Zhongcheng lost to the nameless old man of Chu State, but they didn't know that the nameless old man was known as the "chess soul", and he was the real first person in the chess path of Chu State, this time he was incognito, just to severely demolish the morale of my Xia State, and even the chess saint Huang Ke lost to him, who can win~? ”

"But since the people of Chu have already issued a war letter~, if no one stands up~, doesn't it mean that there is no one in my Jingguo~? Qian Zhongcheng knew that he might be defeated, and he still had to stand up at this time, didn't he know what kind of infamy he would have if he lost~? ”

"But he still stood up~! Because if even he shrinks back, there is really no hope of winning this game, and it is not terrible to lose, we will always win back, but if there is not even a single person to fight in the whole of Kyoto, how will the people of Chu laugh at our Xia Kingdom~? ”

The old man talked eloquently, and it was extremely quiet in the bar.

The servant in Tsing Yi was happy, a trace of abnormal redness welled up on the middle-aged man's face, his hands trembled slightly, everyone's expressions changed from confusion and surprise to anger, and even many people's faces were full of shame.

"What~, there is such a thing~?"

"That old guy is so powerful~?"

"Phew~! I thought he was just an ordinary old man~! ”

"Yes~, if no one really stands up~, I'm afraid that I will be ridiculed even more~"

"We have wronged the money~!"

"Damn~, the people of Chu are so shameless~, say so~, Qian Zhongcheng him~, alas~! I shouldn't have scolded him~! ”
