Chapter Ninety-Six: You Brought It All Upon Yourself
Meng Ling'er also stared at Xiao Yao to hide her face and chuckled, and she didn't look at Zhou Youcai from beginning to end, this scene made Zhou Youcai, who was quite angry, a little shocked.
Xiao Yao coughed twice, stood up, and saluted the other party with a fist: "They are all unintentional, and I hope that Zhou Gongzi will not mind." As he spoke, he invited him to sit down, personally poured him a glass of rice wine, and paid respect.
Xiao Yao poured him wine, and Zhou Youcai sat there staring at Meng Ling'er, still watching, letting his father see it in his eyes, and his heart was anxious. How could Meng Ling'er not feel his fiery gaze, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was impatient, if it weren't for Xiao Lang's presence, she would have killed him with a sword. Gao Quanwei looked at him, and his heart was angry, but when he looked at Xiao Yao again, he was still indifferent, his fists were clenched, his whole body muscles were tense, and he felt that his lungs were about to explode.
Xiao Yao filled him with wine and made a gesture of please. Zhou Youcai had to pick up the wine and thank Xiao Yao, the edge of the bowl had just reached the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, like being pricked by a needle, and the whole bowl of wine was directly scattered all over his body, and his face was covered with wine.
"Why are you? Zhou Gongzi, why can't you think about it so much and torture yourself? Xiao Yao's glasses widened, and he asked him in surprise.
Zhou Youcai is just a scholar, where did he know that he was attacked by someone with a secret weapon, and he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he had to pretend to be nothing, find a suitable reason for himself, and said: "Xu is too tired from reading these days, and he hurts his wrist after too long to carry the pen. After hearing this, Xiao Yao had to praise him, "Zhou Gongzi is so courageous, he is ashamed of himself!" ”
After Zhou Youcai laughed, he suddenly changed his words and said: "I overheard a few lines of poems from Xiao Gongzi just now, and I think that Gongzi must be full of poetry and books, and he will be full of economy. Zhou's skills are itchy and unbearable, and I hope that Xiao Gongzi will give him advice and give him one or two advice. ”
Father Zhou behind him finally breathed a sigh of relief, secretly happy, there is a drama tonight! As long as his son's knowledge is appreciated by him, he is not afraid that he will not be able to win the fifth place.
"Hehe, Zhou Gongzi looks down on Xiao too much, it's just that he read with the young master for a few days when he was a scholar, and he can't get on the stage" Xiao Yao's words can be said to be both true and false, after coming here, where he has read half a page of the book, it is just for Zhao An to accompany him to read and mingle.
In the academy, Zhou Youcai's status is quite different from that of others in the town, and he is looked down upon and ridiculed everywhere, and only when he returns to the village can he find some sense of accomplishment and make up for the inferiority complex in his heart. Over time, I always like to show my talent in front of people, and enjoy the pride of being the center of attention and being valued.
When I saw Meng Ling'er at this time, I thought that God was still treating me well, and sent such a beautiful person to my side. I have the heart to show my talent in front of everyone, win the favor of Meng Ling'er, in order to win her heart, where do you remember what my father warned me before I came. Hearing Xiao Yao's words, I felt more confident.
got up and walked to a clearing, and said loudly to the surrounding villagers: "Youcai made a poem at the request of the teacher in the college today, and the teacher was full of praise after listening to it. ”
is worthy of being the only talent in the village, and his popularity is really not covered. The applause of the villagers was immediately remembered, and the applause was deafening. I saw Zhou Youcai take out a rolled piece of white paper from his cuff, spread it out, and read it aloud with emotion. Xiao Yao believes that if he is allowed to participate in the national poetry recitation competition, he will definitely be able to stand out and rank among the top ten.
I don't know if it was prepared in advance, or by chance, this poem is exactly the night scenery that is described, and it is exactly the poem that responds to the scene. Xiao Yao and Meng Ling'er looked at each other, smiled lightly, and did not speak. continued to listen to Zhou Youcai's passionate recitation in the open space in front of people.
After reading a poem, the crowd burst into applause, Zhou Youcai made a silent gesture, turned around and walked back to the wine table, and asked Xiao Yao for advice, with a very humble and polite attitude.
Xiao Yao took the blank paper and looked at it for a moment, frowning and furrowing.
Wei Wu also leaned over to take a look, "Boss, you took the poem backwards." ”
"Oh? Is it? Oh! I didn't tell you, does my son like to look at things upside down? Personal habits, do not imitate. It hurts the eyes of children too much. Xiao Yao was reminded by Wei Wu before turning the blank paper upside down and looking at it again, this scene caused many villagers who were close to the wine table to boo, "There won't be a few people who can't even read big characters, right?" Zhou Xiucai even asked him to advise? ”
"Who's to say it's not, but I still know some, and I don't know how to take the poems backwards like him, right? Haha," the other chimed in.
Meng Ling'er and Lian'er looked at each other secretly, with smiles in the corners of their eyes. I really don't have any way to deal with him, I always like to play tricks on people, and now there is a little Wuzi by my side, and he is even more like a fish in water, and the cooperation between the two is really a tacit understanding.
Xiao Yao watched and kept nodding and praising it: "Not bad, so wet, so wet!" Zhou Gongzi's lewd hands are so wet! Xiao admires the five-body throw, willing to bow to the wind, it is better to be famous than to meet, and it is better to meet than to be famous, people are as their name suggests, they are so talented! ”
Zhou Youcai listened to Xiao Yao's evaluation, his heart was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but turn to Meng Ling'er and said, "I don't know what the girl thinks of this poem?" Please also comment on one or two. ”
took the white paper handed over by Xiao Yao, saw the evil smile in Xiao Yao's eyes, and secretly reached under the table and twisted it on Xiao Yao's thigh. After reading it, it is really bland, and there is no comparison with the poems made by the bad guys, like clouds and mud. "The little woman is just a woman, where do you dare to be arrogant and point out to Zhou Gongzi. I don't know what poetry and songs, my son-in-law said that it was a good poem, so it was naturally a good poem. ”
Zhou Youcai's heart is like a needle prick, and he is full of vinegar. I don't understand what is good about this Xiao Gongzi, I heard Xiao Yao say that he has only studied for a few days, and he still doesn't believe it, according to the table just now, I'm afraid it's really as he said. Could it be that he values his money?
Zhou Youcai classified Xiao Yao into the group of rich sons in the academy, and he was even more angry. In the academy, I can only swallow my anger, is it possible to see people's faces in the village? What's more, it's still in front of her at this time! deliberately spread the bullying he received on those rich sons on Xiao Yao, embarrass him, and find the pleasure of revenge.
rolled up the poems and tucked them back into his sleeve, and said to Xiao Yao: "Xiao Gongzi, don't hide it, you must let our elders know." Do you think so? "Deliberately arouse everyone's interest. Sure enough, many villagers followed suit, ready to see Xiao Yao's liveliness, especially the few people not far from the wine table shouted even more outrageously.
"Here's one, here's one!" More villagers shouted.
Xiao Yao turned his head and showed a fierce and evil expression at Meng Ling'er, it was all your fault! Little goblin, look at my family law later! Meng Ling'er raised her head, pretending to admire the beautiful starry sky, and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yao. You can't blame me for this, you brought it all on yourself, giggle~
