Volume 1, Coming to Another World Chapter 42 Zhou Xin
There are countless talented and beautiful people in the Wangjiang Building, although there is some noise, but the exits are all chapters. The young talents are full of spirit, and the pretty women are waiting to be released, and this elegant gathering allows people to appreciate the elegance of the children of different elites.
Liu Yang followed Zhang Ya to the top floor, where the scenery was very wonderful. It's already night, but standing on a high place, you can overlook the night view of most of the imperial capital, and not far away, the river is surging like a long dragon entrenched and roaring into the distance.
It is worthy of Wangjiang Tower. Although Liu Yang is a person from the world of science and technology, he can't help but feel that the dignitaries and nobles in this world really enjoy it when he sees such a scene.
"Brother Liu's first visit to Wangjiang Tower?"
Sensing Liu Yang's somewhat surprised gaze, Zheng Wushuang, who fell beside him, smiled and said, "Brother Liu, this Wangjiang Tower can not only see half of the imperial capital, but also the most famous is fine wine. ”
"I've heard that the wine here is very good. Hearing the wine, Liu Yu couldn't help but echo excitedly.
"Wine?"
Seeing that the two of them respected him so much, although Liu Yang was not a good drinker, he also had some curiosity. For people of Liu Yu and Zheng Wushuang's status, ordinary good wine must not be praised by the other party so much, could it be that the wine in Wangjianglou is really unusual?
"That's right. Although there are several kinds of Wangjianglou wines, the most famous wine is Wangjiang wine. The material is taken from Hanjiang and brewed for three years. This wine opens the altar and is fragrant for ten miles and is as strong as fire, no matter how good the amount of wine is, people will be drunk with three cups, known as Wangjiang three cups drunk.
"Wangjiang three cups drunk?" Liu Yang whispered to himself, and only asked after a moment, "Is it possible that ordinary wine can still make cultivators drunk?"
"I've heard of that. Without waiting for Zheng Wushuang to react, Liu Yu preemptively said: "I heard that the materials of this Wangjiang wine are all heavenly and earthly treasures in the Hanjiang River, so after brewing, it contains powerful medicinal properties that are enough to intoxicate ordinary cultivators." ”
"Well, you have to try it. Hearing this, Liu Yang became a little interested in this Wangjiang wine, since he came here, it was better to enjoy the elegant life of the children of the powerful. He is not an old-fashioned and unpredictable person, he was just a poor dick in his previous life, and he will not miss it if he can enjoy a luxurious life.
"But these kinds of wines are very rare and difficult to buy at a high price. However, I heard that Zhou Xin, who held a party tonight, has already asked for three altars from Wangjiang Tower, which should be specially given to the young talents who won the first prize in this poetry and wine conference. ”
"In that case, we will have to rely on Brother Zheng's contribution later, let's try it. Liu Yang looked at Zheng Wushuang and smiled.
"I'm mediocre in learning, and I have to rely on you. Zheng Wushuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, although his cultivation talent was extremely high, his knowledge was not very good, and he came here tonight just to relax.
Hearing the three of them muttering, Zhang Yamei, who was sitting next to Liu Qiaoer, looked at each other, and said with a smile: "You will recite poems later, and after the incident, I will ask Wangjianglou for two altars to send you." ”
"Sister Zhang Ya, is it really?" Hearing this, Liu Yu's eyes lit up. He knew that this Wangjiang wine was priceless and unmarketable, and it was the most precious wine in the entire imperial capital. Even the people of the royal family are very rare to taste this kind of fine wine, and they can't taste this kind of good wine when they go to Wangjiang Tower on weekdays without any stakes.
"It's really unfortunate that the owner of Wangjianglou has a little friendship with my father, and it's okay to ask him for two altars. Zhang Ya's eyes stayed on Liu Yang, and said with a smile: "Liu Yang, especially if you perform better tonight, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Since the last time she heard Liu Yang chant a poem by chance, she felt very literary about the former, which is why Liu Yang was specially asked to participate this time.
"Oh, it seems that Brother Liu is extraordinary. Zheng Wushuang also looked at Liu Yang, and did not hide the curiosity in his eyes.
"Zhang Ya, you're finally here. ”
While several people were talking, a cold voice suddenly sounded. Zhang Ya turned around and saw a girl standing not far away. She is beautiful and elegant, with a very beautiful complexion, and is about eighteen years old. The eyes are clear, the eyebrows are trimmed and the nose is trimmed, and the pear vortex appears slightly on the cheeks, which is beautiful and beautiful. The strong light reflected on the ice and snow shone on her face, and her complexion was crystal clear and soft as jade, but she saw that her complexion was strangely white, her nose was higher than that of ordinary women, and there was a faint blue of sea water in her eyes.
"Zhou Xin. ”
Xiu's eyes were slightly picked, Zhang Ya smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are much more beautiful than before." ”
"Naturally, I was and still is prettier than you. ”
Zhou Xin's voice was cold, she looked at Zhang Ya with a hint of hostility in her eyes, and said: "Since you are here at this party, you had better show some skills, otherwise you will be embarrassed tonight, don't blame you for not reminding you." ”
"You are full of confidence, but I remember some people who were discouraged from the last time they talked about poetry. Seeing that Zhou Xin had a needle hidden in his words, Zhang Ya was also-for-tat.
"Zhang Ya was just a fluke with you last time, but this time someone stood up for me. After speaking, she turned sideways slightly, revealing two long figures behind her.
"The people of Sheji Palace?"
Zhang Ya has a deep study of knowledge, and Sheji Palace is also related to her Zhang family, so she naturally recognizes the identities of the two behind Zhou Xin. She was surprised and asked, "Are you the left one and the right two?"
"I've seen Miss Zhang. ”
Zhang Ya's identity is extraordinary, and the young man dressed in black and white behind Zhou Xin didn't dare to put on a stand, and nodded at the former, which was regarded as a hello.
"Zhou Xin, you are so generous. At the end, Zhang Ya gritted her teeth a little. She couldn't imagine that Zhou Xin actually invited someone from the Sheji Palace in order to compete with herself for fame, and when it came to learning, who could compare to the characters in the Sheji Palace. Moreover, the first and second on the left are the outstanding young figures of the Sheji Palace, full of wealth, and they are even no less than some old scholars.
"Didn't you also find a helper?" Zhou Xin's eyes fell on Liu Yang and the others, and when he saw Zheng Wushuang, his eyes appeared shocked, and he could then return to calm. After a pause, she continued to say to Zhang Ya: "Being humiliated by you last time almost made me lose face, do you dare to make a bet with me today." ”
"Zhou Xin, don't go too far. ”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiao'er frowned slightly, and said sarcastically: "You specially invited two helpers from the Sheji Palace to make a bet with Ya'er, is it really good for her to bully?"
"Liu Qiao'er, your cultivation is good, but if you talk about talent and learning, you don't deserve to lift my shoes. Zhou Xin glanced at her and continued: "Zhang Ya embarrassed you in front of the audience last time, today I, Zhou Xin, am going to get back this face, don't you think you are a good learner, don't you dare to bet with me?"
"Ya'er, don't promise her. Liu Qiaoer saw that Zhou Xin was deliberately provoking Zhang Ya, and hurriedly dissuaded her.
"Sister Zhang Ya......" Liu Yu was also a little worried, although he was idle, he could see that the other party wanted to trouble Zhang Ya, afraid that the former would be deceived.
"What do you want to bet on?" Zhang Ya is not a fool, so naturally she will not agree so easily.
"Tonight's poetry and wine conference, the two of us can find two helpers each, if I win, you are not allowed to participate in any academic gatherings in the future, and if I lose, the same is true. ”
Although Zhou Xin and Zhang Ya are not strong in cultivation, they are quite talented and talented each other, so they are famous in the imperial capital, but girls are born with a comparison mentality, Zhou Xin feels that she is not inferior to Zhang Ya in everything but is naturally inferior to the other party many times, so she wants to let Zhang Ya withdraw from this circle after the success of the gambling tonight, so that she will become the most talented woman in the entire imperial capital.
Hearing her words, Zhang Ya hesitated. The other party obviously came prepared, and if she rashly agreed to lose the gamble, it would not only affect her fame but even the reputation of the Zhang family.
"Why? Don't you dare?"
Zhou Xinqiao smiled and said softly: "Although I invited two friends from the Sheji Palace, you can find two of the talents who are present tonight as helpers, so it will be fairer to you." ”
"Ya'er!" Liu Qiao'er couldn't help but pull Zhang Ya's sleeve, and Zhou Xinming put a trap.
"Miss Zhou, isn't this gambling fight a little unfair? Zheng Wushuang couldn't help but speak, although he was an outsider, he also looked a little uncomfortable.
"Unfair?" Zhou Xin smiled and said, "If you feel unfair, you can also find two friends from the Sheji Palace." ”
Her words made Liu Yang and the others' faces change slightly, and it was difficult to enter the Sheji Palace on weekdays, let alone find two university scholars to come out and help chant poetry.
"You can also not gamble, but admit in front of the audience that your knowledge is worse than mine, and I will not bother with you about the past. ”
She was aggressive, which made Zhang Yaqiao's face change slightly. Jiao shouted: "Zhou Xin, don't go too far. ”
"Excessive?" Zhou Xin smiled faintly and said, "The last time you said in front of many people that my poems were not neat, why didn't you feel that you were excessive?"
"You ......"
Zhang Ya was speechless for a while, Zhou Xin and her attended a cultural gathering a few months ago, she was kind enough to point out the other party's small problems but she didn't expect to be jealous of her, and in recent days, she has repeatedly asked people to invite herself to the party again just to find trouble.
"If you want to gamble, you can bet, I'm not afraid of you. After a moment of silence, Zhang Ya nodded sharply and said.
"Okay!" Zhou Xin showed a satisfied smile.
