Kong Sheng mingled in the crowd and watched quietly. Seeing the soft sedan chair of Yang Qi's father and daughter coming, and getting off the sedan chair at the door of the attic, it attracted the passion and cheers of scholars from all over the world.

is different from what I saw the day before yesterday, Yang Xueruo, who showed up today to preside over the poetry meeting, applied fat powder and dressed up carefully. With a high bun, bare chest, red silk on his shoulders, a yellow narrow-sleeved shirt, a green floor-length skirt, and a red belt hanging from his waist, the whole person looks bright and moving.

The girl followed her father Yingying into the attic, but before entering the door, she smiled back and waved her hand to the fans who were crowded at the door, causing a tidal commotion.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth. Yang Qi actually came to the scene in person, and outsiders seemed to be supporting his daughter, in order to increase the gold content of this Wangjianglou poetry meeting, but Kong Sheng knew that Yang Qi must be here for himself.

took advantage of this poetry meeting to coerce Kong Sheng to withdraw from the marriage and complete the reputation of the Yang family, and then took the opportunity to choose a talented and beautiful son-in-law for Yang Xueruo on the spot, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. As for what happened to Kong Sheng, the Yang family didn't think about it at all, what did it matter if he was dead or alive?

Because Yang Qi was present in person, a lot of local officials also came. For example, Liu Pingshan, the commander of Jiangning County, Shi Mengru, the magistrate of Jiangning County, Ma Pingze, who joined the army, Song Qing, the commander of Danyang County, and so on. As for the celebrities and famous local squires, there were also more than ten people, and these squires came to vassal elegance, mainly to welcome the Yang family and cling to the powerful -- if Yang Xue held such a poetry meeting, it would be a lot of money, and naturally these people would take the initiative to undertake it.

Kong Sheng still stood in the crowd and stared at the entrance of the attic, silent. On the mountain road, a Taoist and a handsome Taoist boy with a lupine scarf suddenly appeared, and the Taoist robe was fluttering, like a fairy out of the dust.

The Taoist led the Taoist boy step by step, and wanted to enter the Wangjiang Tower, but was stopped by the murderous soldier at the door.

The Taoist smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Poor Dao Baiyunzi, please inform Yang Yuanjun, the old man of Yuxiao Peak of Tiantai Mountain is visiting!"

When the guards saw the Taoist immortal wind bones, and heard that it was Yang Qi's old man, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went inside to report.

Yang Qi was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately got up and greeted a group of local officials, with a respectful expression: "When did the Immortal Master arrive in Jiangning, Yang Qi was late to greet him, and he hoped that the Immortal Master would forgive his sins!" ”

Bai Yunzi laughed loudly: "Make you polite, the poor road is passing by Jiangning, I heard that the daughter of your mansion held a poetry meeting in Wangjiang Tower, the grand occasion is unprecedented, I came to join in the fun, I don't know if you can allow the poor Taoist master and apprentice to go in as a bystander?" ”

"Where does the immortal master say, please come in quickly! The immortal master can come to the poetry meeting, and Jiangning is full of glory and honor! Immortal Master, this is the little girl Xue Ruo. Xue Ruo, come and salute the immortal master! ”

"Meet the Immortal Master!" Yang Xueruo Yingying stepped forward, bowed deeply to Bai Yunzi, and bowed.

She knows who this Taoist person is, and she also knows that his Taoism is unfathomable, famous all over the world, and he saved her father's life back then, and this worshipper deserves it.

Bai Yunzi smiled and nodded to Yang Xueruo, and was greeted by Yang Qi in front of him.

Bai Yunzi's deep gaze intentionally or unintentionally cast a glance at Kong Sheng's location, this glance made Kong Sheng somewhat "creepy", and he suddenly had an illusion that this old Tao seemed to see through everything he had.

Bai Yunzi and Daotong Atai were allowed to sit at the table, although Yang Qi did not introduce the origin of the Taoist to everyone, but looking at his words and appearances, the officials and scholars also knew that he had an extraordinary background - how could Yang Qi be so respectful could he be an ordinary Taoist priest?

Yang Qi cast a hintive glance at his daughter Yang Xueruo.

Yang Xueruo got up with a smile, stood in the middle of the field and said crisply: "Elders, scholars from all over the world, today Xueruo organized the Wangjianglou Poetry Club as usual, which is intended to meet friends with literature, gather the splendid poems of the south of the Yangtze River, and recommend talents for the Tang Society. In order to add interest, this poetry club has set up three major lottery heads, which are recognized by the poetry club as the top three winners. The lottery head is kept secret for the time being, and my father is also asked to ask for the question. ”

Yang Xueruo turned her head to look at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi was looking around, his expression a little gloomy. He didn't see Yang Kuan and Kong Sheng come in, thinking that Kong Sheng had missed the appointment, and he didn't mention it in his heart. He originally wanted to settle his daughter's marriage contract before the poetry meeting began, and then the rest of the matter was logical.

Yang Qi got up slowly, and was about to open his mouth, when he saw Yang Kuan turn the screen and enter the arena, and behind him was Kong Sheng, who he had been waiting for for a long time.

In fact, Kong Sheng came in, and many people at the scene, including some officials, scholars, and literati, recognized him. Liu Nian, who was the keeper of Liu County, was also present, and when he looked up and caught a glimpse of Kong Sheng, his face immediately changed. If it weren't for his father and Yang Qi being present, he would have been sarcastic.

Yang Qi was secretly happy in his heart, pretending to be surprised, frowning and shouting, "Kong Sheng? What are you going to do? ”

Yang Qi cast a meaningful, majestic and indifferent glance at Shen Lin as he spoke.

Yang Kuan secretly pulled Kong Sheng's clothes, lowered his voice and threatened: "Kong family Xiaolang, act according to the contract, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Kong Sheng chuckled, looked around at everyone, and under the attention of everyone's various eyes of disdain, contempt or sympathy, his expression was calm, he slowly took two steps forward, and clasped his fists and saluted: "I came here today, there is no other, but I want to break the marriage contract with Miss Yang, and I also ask you adults and brothers to be a witness." ”

It turned out to be a public divorce?! Everyone looked at each other in surprise, but at the same time guessed that it was Yang Qi's arrangement. Kong Sheng and Yang Xueruo's marriage probably can't be done, this is something that everyone in Jiangning County knows, but this private matter of divorce is made public at the poetry meeting, which seems to have a bit of a different "charm".

Yang Qi was happy in his heart, and secretly said that you are also interested in this little guy. He pretended to be sorry and stunned: "Kong Sheng, this official and your father are brothers, and the marriage contract was made on that day, which is also the friendship of the family." Your father and your mother died one after another, and the official raised you in the mansion, but he also missed the old feelings and couldn't bear to see you displaced. In the past two years, although you are prodigal and absurd, you don't learn and don't know, but the official still insists on waiting for you to get married, and you suddenly proposed to withdraw from the marriage today, which really makes the official extremely sad! ”

Kong Sheng glanced at Yang Qi and scolded in his heart: Yang Qi, you sanctimonious hypocrite, how many people can you deceive when you act in public?

Yang Qi's words changed, and he didn't give Kong Sheng a chance to regret at all: "Okay, since you have your own opinions, this official will no longer be reluctant, and this official will be benevolent to you and do his duty." You write the divorce document in public, from now on, your marriage with the little girl will be stopped, of course, the official is still your elder, and the door of the official's house is open for you at any time! ”

"Kong Sheng has already written it, and I ask Lord Yang to see if it is properly written." Kong Sheng took out the divorce letter from his arms, and his voice was faint, with a slight hint of sarcasm.

The reason why he was willing to come to Wangjianglou today was not due to the coercion of the Yang family, but because he had a deep meaning, and he was determined to go out and play with Yang Qi's father and daughter, and see whose face was lost in the end.

Yang Qi took it, glanced at it, and waved his hand: "In that case, then the marriage contract is over, and you can step back." ”

Liu Nian and the others on the side were overjoyed in their hearts, gritted their teeth and stared at Kong Sheng, and said in their hearts, you don't have the protection of the Yang family, and you won't let us knead it in the future, and when the poem will end, Lao Tzu will beat your ass and make you suffer!

Liu Junshou and other local bureaucrats secretly shook their heads, but at this moment they were a little sympathetic to Kong Shenglai. Yang Qi's thoughts, no one knows, pretending to play such a scene is nothing more than covering the eyes and ears of the world, after all, it is still to put gold on his face, stand on the commanding heights of morality, withdraw from marriage and return to righteousness, and put the basin on Kong Sheng's head alone.

Bai Yunzi was not shocked, and sat there, looking at Kong Sheng thoughtfully, as if smiling.

Yang Xueruo sighed faintly in her heart, and there was a hint of complicated pity in her gaze towards Kong Sheng. Although she was extremely disgusted with Kong Sheng and disdained his debauchery and lack of learning, she also knew that Kong Sheng took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage in public today, and was forced by the pressure of his parents.

But the joy of the freedom to divorce instantly overwhelmed this trace of kindness and pity. She blushed slightly and sat up straight.

The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth twitched, and he quietly retreated to the field, but he didn't leave the venue, just stood outside the venue.

Yang Qi saw that he was not leaving, and was about to scold him a few times to expel him, but he heard Bai Yunzi sitting there and said with a smile: "This little Langjun of the poor Taoist Temple is refreshing, gentle and elegant, and must be quite talented and learned, so why hurry to retreat, it is also a good thing to have a lively time when he will have a good time." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, this well-known "soft rice eater" and scoundrel prodigal in Jiangning County are brave and ruthless every day, if he is a little born brute force, it is also credible, and it is a big joke to say that he is quite talented and learned.

Liu Nian couldn't help but get up and mocked: "You have no ink on your chest, and you dare to participate in the poetry meeting?" A certain family advises you to step back quickly, so as not to make a fool of yourself in public! ”
