Listen to Xu Shu say, "Don't think about it! Zhu Ding couldn't help but be stunned, but listened to Xu Shu continue: "Since the adults are warmly invited, Shan Mou will stay." ”

Xu Shu has been in Zhuding Mansion for more than a year, and he and Zhu Rong often meet, but although he is enthusiastic, the girl is as cold to him. If you want to say that Xu Shu can really endure the temperament, show what she has learned in her life, and want to smile at Miss Bo, either write a small poem or send a few small flowers. How can I wish Rong Rong to love the hero, and turn a blind eye to all these Lang Mans that he has dug out his mind, and whenever he sends something, the front foot will accept it, and the back foot will throw it away.

Zhu Ding naturally saw all this, but pretended not to know, and warned the clansmen not to tell this "Mr. Shan" about the alliance three years ago. He is the patriarch, and he has always been the same in the tribe, with this order, Ren Xu Shu is full of wisdom, and there is no way to know why Zhu Rong has not married at such an old age.

Since Zhu Rong is not married, then he Xu Shu should still have a chance, so he persevered and continued to curry favor with Zhu Rong, which annoyed Zhu Rong and wanted to drive him out of the hole several times. However, Zhu Ding knew that the entire Zhu family would only rely on this youngest son Zhu Jie in the future, and cultivating him as an adult was the top priority of the Zhu family. Now, it was not easy to find such a talented gentleman to teach him, Zhu Ding was willing to let Xu Shu go easily, but he scolded Zhu Rong.

Of course, Zhu Ding would not be stupid enough to ask Zhu Rong to give up his bet with Liu Xin and marry Xu Shu instead, he just tried every means to keep Xu Shu. Fortunately, Zhu Rong's heart is firm enough, otherwise in the face of Xu Shu's stubbornness, the result is really difficult to say. However, when Liu Xin really met Xu Shu unexpectedly in the Zhu family, Zhu Ding's father and daughter still felt a little embarrassed, after all, this kind of thing is not very talkative.

Although Xu Shu was in Zhu's house, although there was no shortage of food and clothing, and Zhu Ding was also courteous to him, but he was deaf and blind, and he didn't even know the real reason why Zhu Rong left Ke to go to Xiangyang at the beginning of the year, and he believed Zhu Ding's words, and stupidly waited for Zhu Rong to return from his relatives at Zhu's house.

In fact, when he was in Yingchuan Academy, Xu Shu met Liu Xin. It's just that when she heard the news of Zhu Rong's return, Xu Shu was naturally surprised and delighted, and her eyes were all on Zhu Rong, especially the woman's bun she was pulling, and she didn't notice that Liu Xin was also here.

When Xu Shu heard Liu Xin's question, where could he not understand the relationship between Liu Xin and Zhu Rong, he couldn't help but get angry, and said angrily: "Liu Xin, I have long heard that you are a womanizer, but you can't rely on your power to rob people's daughters!" ”

Zhu Rong was a little unhappy when he heard him call Liu Xin's name, and asked loudly: "Mr. Shan, oh no, I should call you Mr. Xu!" Why do you say that my brother robbed the people's daughter! ”

Xu Shu couldn't be fierce in the face of Zhu Rong, and said in a low voice: "Miss Zhu, I know that you are not a person who tends to be inflammatory, if he didn't force you, how could you be with him." ”

Zhu Rong's face turned red, and he said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about!" No one forced me, I wanted to marry Brother Ah three years ago, at that time I thought he was just an ordinary Han businessman, how could he force me? ”

Liu Xin listened to the two of them arguing there, and couldn't understand what the intersection between Xu Shu and Zhu Rong could be. Historically, these two people really did not intersect, and they never met, and they didn't even know each other's existence. All this is due to the arrival of Liu Xin, which changed the original trajectory of history.

Historically, when Xu Shu went out to study, Yizhou was still under the jurisdiction of Liu Yan, implementing a policy of isolation from the imperial court, and Xu Shu had no way to come to Ke. In fact, even if he came to Ke at that time, he would not have seen Zhu Rong, because Zhu Rong had already married Meng Xu.

From the conversation between the two people, Liu Xin had already heard that Xu Shu was just wishful thinking, Zhu Rong's mind towards him had never changed, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed, took a step forward, stopped in front of Zhu Rong, and said to Xu Shu: "Xu Shu, no matter what you thought in the past, now you should also know that Rong'er is my woman, unless she wants to leave me herself, I will not let anyone take her away from me, you better die as soon as possible." ”

Liu Xin was tall and blocked Zhu Rong behind him, completely covering Xu Shu's vision, and he could only see Zhu Rong's jade-like arms around Liu Xin's waist, which showed that the two were in love with each other.

Xu Shu looked at it in a daze for a long time, and muttered, "That's it, that's it." Liu Xin, Xu knows that you are in a high position and have outstanding literary talents. Your "Burrow Inscription" is widely circulated, and Xu often reads it to inspire him. ”

Liu Xin didn't feel a little embarrassed, he couldn't remember a few sentences of the plagiarized "Burrow" now, but he couldn't imagine that Xu Shu would never forget it.

Xu Shu didn't know what Liu Xin was thinking, he continued: "You can become a poem in five steps, and Xu Mou's achievements in poetry are even more unattainable. There is also your ambition, and Xu is even more difficult to look forward to. ”

Liu Xin didn't expect Xu Shu to have such a high opinion of himself, but he was a little embarrassed, and even the anger that was secretly born because of his idea of beating Zhu Rong gradually subsided, so he waved his hand and said: "Xu Shu, feelings rely on your love and my willingness, and the two are happy, but not status, talent, and wealth, if that's the case, the beautiful love stories of the predecessors will not be passed down." ”

His words moved Zhu Rong extraordinarily, and he couldn't help but hug him tighter. But Xu Shu didn't think so, and said coldly: "In those beautiful love stories, you can not care about status and wealth, but it is impossible not to talk about talent. ”

In fact, what Xu Shu said is not wrong, those stories are made up by some unambitious literati, and in the end, it is always talented and beautiful people who come together, so there is a saying that "there is Yan Ruyu in the book".

Xu Shu paused, glanced at Liu Xin contemptuously, and continued: "Liu Xin, although your talent is outstanding, your character is not very good!" When it comes to governing the country and poetry, Xu knows that he is not your opponent, but there is one thing, Xu will definitely be able to beat you! Do you dare to compare yourself to me? ”

Liu Xin almost fainted when he heard his words, his most conceited thing is his character, he has always thought that he is diligent in government and loves the people, who knows that in Xu Shu's eyes, it is really not good. On the contrary, in terms of governing the country and poetry, Liu Xin is self-aware, he knows that he is no better than having no ink on his chest, and Xu Shu actually admires him in these two aspects.

In fact, the reason why Xu Shu came to such a conclusion was entirely based on his own judgment. During the study tour for most of the year, Xu Shu saw with his own eyes that the people in the area ruled by Liu Xin were rich and the country was strong. And Liu Xin's widely circulated poems are indeed unsurpassed. As for the character, the standards adopted by the two sides are different, and the conclusions are naturally very different. Xu Shu used the standard of judging scholars, and some of Liu Xin's practices were indeed ridiculous and even rebellious in the eyes of scholars.

Facing Xu Shu's challenge, Liu Xin just smiled faintly and said: "The inch is long, the ruler is short, what is there to compare." ”

Of course, Liu Xin didn't want to accept Xu Shu's challenge, who knows what he wanted to compare, in case he had any problems, he couldn't solve them for a while, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it.

Xu Shu stepped forward, stared at Liu Xin and said, "I just want to compete with you, if I lose, I will be at your disposal." If you lose, give me Miss Zhu! ”

"Fart!" Liu Xin couldn't help but burst into foul language, "Xu Shu, you are really contemptible!" Rong'er is not a bet, she is a living person, she has the right to choose the life she wants, she has her own freedom, how can it be controlled by you and me! ”

Xu Shu couldn't help but be stunned, in his opinion, my fair lady, a gentleman, his pursuit of Zhu Rong is a matter of course. However, a woman is a woman after all, and can only become an accessory to a man, in this regard, Xu Shu's views are no different from other scholars, and he never thought that women can also have freedom.

However, Xu Shu is now a scholar, and the best thing for a scholar is his own face. The words have been spoken, even if it is not to compete for Zhu Rong, Xu Shu will not back down. He took another step forward, almost touching Liu Xin's nose, and said loudly: "Okay! If I lose, I still let you dispose of it, if you lose, it is up to Miss Zhu to choose, so it's always okay, do you dare to take it? ”

Liu Xin didn't want to pay attention to him and turned around to leave.

Zhu Rong didn't follow, and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, tell me, what is it, my brother can still be afraid of you!" ”

Liu Xin couldn't help frowning and said, "Rong'er, don't mess around." ”

Zhu Rong said disapprehantly: "Anyway, you have nothing to lose, even if you lose, I will only choose you." ”

"What loss is not a loss, you think you are doing business!" Liu Xin really doesn't want to have any competition with Xu Shu, after all, this era attaches great importance to reputation, if he comes up with a topic and asks himself to write an article, if he can't write it, even the poems and essays he did before will be doubted.

Xu Shu couldn't wait to shout: "Okay! Liu Xin, listen, I'm going to try my swordsmanship with you! ”

In the eyes of readers, no matter how strong the martial arts are, they are only small skills of carving insects, which are not enough to worry about. Therefore, the poems that Liu Xin "stole" can be widely circulated in Shilin, but Liu Xin's unfathomable kung fu in the eyes of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun is rarely known to the outside world. Otherwise, Xu Shu would never have come up with such a competition to save face.

Zhu Rong admired Liu Xin's martial arts so much, which was also the main reason why she wanted to marry Liu Xin, hearing that Xu Shu actually proposed to test her swordsmanship, she suddenly seemed to have found a monster, covered her mouth and stared at Xu Shu up and down, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. This smile was really charming, and Xu Shu was stunned, so he hurriedly reined in his thoughts, took a step back, and asked in a deep voice: "Liu Xin, are you better or not?" ”
