Chapter 117: The Gambling Contract

Everyone was shocked, 100,000 taels!

Nangong Ling was also frightened by this number and shouted, "One hundred thousand taels!" ”

Ye Xiaoyan said: "If someone finds the source of this poem and proves that you are right, then I will also compensate you 100,000 taels." ”

Nangong Ling thought about it, she couldn't take out 100,000 taels, but this amount was just talking, what if someone found the source of the source at that time? Then she will get 100,000 taels for nothing. So he nodded and agreed: "Okay!" That's it. ”

Ye Xiaoyan said: "There is no evidence for what you say, but the words are proof, please be a witness to all of you." ”

The eldest prince, the eldest princess, and the fourth prince feel that this matter has nothing to do with them, no matter who wins or loses these two, and they don't have to pay the money, so it's good to be a witness.

The second prince usually doesn't read much poetry books, and he can't tell whether this poem was written by Ye Xiaoyan himself or where it was plagiarized. However, if the second emperor sister loses, she will definitely not be able to take out 100,000 taels, and she will have to ask him for money when the time comes, so she said: "Second emperor sister, don't mess around, the purpose of chanting poems and painting is to cultivate temperament, how can you use it to bet on winning or losing." ”

Nangong You listened beside him, he knew that there were just 100,000 taels in the house, but he didn't worry about money, he cared more about correcting Yan'er's name. His family has real talent and learning, how can he allow others to slander at will. So he said: "Second Emperor Brother, this is not nonsense. Since the second emperor sister insists that Yan'er's poems are stolen, then hang up the poems and let everyone verify them, and it will be clear when the time comes. ”

Jiang Manrong smiled and said, "Third Emperor Brother, aren't you afraid that someone will really find the source of this poem when the time comes?" ”

Nangong Youdao: "If you find it, you will find it, so what?" 100,000 taels, we can still afford it. ”

Jiang Manrong saw Nangong You's appearance of trying his best to protect his wife, and he was a little envious of Ye Xiaoyan in his heart. If he were Nangong Xu, he would have done the same if he had maintained it verbally. However, if he was to take out 100,000 taels and gamble on her reputation with her, she believed that Nangong Xu would not do it.

Nangong Ling had already set up the pen and paper, urging Ye Xiaoyan to hurry up and write as proof. Ye Xiaoyan was injured in her right hand and couldn't write, so Nangong You said, "I'll write." ”

Nangong You wrote the note and gave Ye Xiaoyan's name, Ye Xiaoyan pressed a handprint, and Nangong Ling also signed her name. Then pass the notes to you one by one as a witness, and finally hand them over to the eldest brother for safekeeping. agreed until the end of the poetry meeting, if no one can find the source of these poems written by Ye Xiaoyan, then Nangong Ling will compensate Ye Xiaoyan 100,000 taels of silver, otherwise, Ye Xiaoyan will compensate Nangong Ling 100,000 taels.

Nangong Ling saw that the eldest brother had put away the note, and wrote the poem "The Red Sun is at the End of the Mountain" written by Ye Xiaoyan, and ordered someone to connect the "bamboo" to take it out and hang it together.

Nangong Ling shouted: "There is another one!" ”

The eldest prince frowned and said, "Are you sure that one will also be written and hung out?" ”

The song "Eyes on the Buttocks" is obviously satirical to Nangong Ling, and the eldest prince thinks it is indecent, so it's better not to hang it out.

Nangong Ling also hesitated, if people knew that this poem was scolding her, then how could she have face. However, Nangong Ling thought about it: If that poem is recognized and the source is found, then won't she get 100,000 taels for nothing. The more poems are hung out, the easier it is to find flaws. Nangong Ling gritted her teeth, no matter what, as long as they didn't say it, who knew that the poem was scolding her.

So he said: "Brother Emperor, since Princess Xuan said that these poems were written by her, then they should all be hung out, so as not to let some people take advantage of the loophole." As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Xiaoyan with disdain.

Ye Xiaoyan sneered in her heart. You just wait until the time comes, and you will lose money and face.

After a while, three pairs of calligraphy and paintings were hung in the display area in the front yard of Huiwen Academy, and the caretaker said to everyone: "These are three poems written by a talented woman, some people question that this poem is plagiarized, and now these three poems are specially hung out and made public, please read them and help verify whether this poem is plagiarized or written by that talented woman." ”

All the talented people gathered around and stepped forward, only to see one of them painting a few bamboos, and inscribed a poem next to the painting:

Dew polyester lead powder festival, the wind shakes the green jade branches.

It is like a gentleman, and there is no place that is not suitable.

The other two are poems written in calligraphy. One of them reads:

The red sun is at the end of the mountain, and the white spring flows into the river.

If you want to be poor, go to the next level.

Another one, when everyone saw it, they couldn't help laughing.

The tip of the head and body are as white as silver, and there is not half a cent on the scale.

His eyes are on his buttocks, and he only recognizes clothes but not people.

Someone said, "Is this a poem written by the same person?" The first two songs still look like they were written by the same person, but this third song," he said, he couldn't help but laugh again: "This third song is really wonderful!" ”

The people present are all talents, and their appreciation of poetry, calligraphy and painting is naturally no problem.

At this time, someone said: "This 'bamboo', the composition is ingenious, beautiful and natural, with the pen calm, moist and dry, it can be seen that the person who paints the painting is quite accomplished in painting." ”

Someone said, "Yes, if you look at the inscription next to the painting, your calligraphy is also very good." ”

Someone noticed that the calligraphy of the second and third paintings was clearly not from the same person as the first, and said, "You see, the calligraphy of the latter two paintings is also very high. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Everyone talked about the calligraphy of these three calligraphy and paintings.

Nangong Ling was not at ease, and followed the person who hung the calligraphy and painting to come out to see. She wished that someone would immediately see where the three poems were plagiarized, but when she heard the crowd's comments, she exclaimed, "Don't just talk about this painting and this calligraphy!" Think about it, where did you get these three poems, and have you read them in that book? ”

Everyone shook their heads, do you still need to think about whether you have seen it or not, you know at a glance that you haven't seen it.

Nangong Ling was a little anxious and said, "Think about it again!" ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Nangong Ling gritted her teeth and said: "This princess has a reward, if anyone can find the source of these three poems and where the plagiarism comes from, this princess will reward him with a thousand taels!" ”

A wealthy man asked, "Is it to find the source of these three poems and reward them with a thousand taels?" Or for every song you find, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels? ”

Nangong Ling gritted her teeth again: "For each song, a reward of 1,000 taels!" ”

The princes also came out of Huiwen Building, and when they heard Nangong Ling's words, Ye Xiaoyan chuckled and said: "Our second emperor sister is really stingy, she can get 100,000 taels for nothing, and she only took out 3,000 taels for a reward." If you want me to say, you have to come up with at least 10,000 taels. ”。

The eldest princess Nangong Qin looked at Ye Xiaoyan and pursed her lips and smiled. This third brother and sister, she hadn't been in contact with it before, she didn't know that she was such a wonderful person, it was really interesting. Seeing that she is young, she acts very steadily and calmly, not at all like a fourteen-year-old, but makes her feel like a person in her twenties who is about the same age as herself.
