Gu Rong smiled slightly: "Young Master Wen is kind-hearted, and he blocks wine for Miss Shanxiu with a gentleman's attitude, of course Rong will not mind, and in the future, he will learn such a gentleman's etiquette from Young Master Wen." ”

The time had come to the beginning of the day, and Su Jiudong, who had never eaten supper, was also hungry and began to churn.

Today's poetry fighting meeting is scheduled for the evening, Su Jiudong is the same as Wen Yiheng and many others, and he came to participate in the poetry fighting meeting without dinner, so now everyone is hungry at the same pace.

Seeing Wen Yiheng's eyes, Governor Shi immediately ordered someone to bring food and delicacies, so that Su Jiudong and the others at the meeting could fill their stomachs.

"Today's Dou Shi will be held at a special time, delaying your normal dinner and eating, tonight due to the extra game, the Dou Shi will have to be postponed to this time, now serve dishes for you to fill your stomach, please feel free to use."

Under the order of Governor Shi, a group of shop guys with dishes came out one after another, and carefully placed the dishes on everyone's tables in an orderly manner.

On the desk in front of everyone are placed a product of fat chicken and cabbage, a product of Su Guan, a product of roasted venison pot and shredded chicken and mutton on a plate, a product of folded milk skin, a product of ghee bean wheat, a product of honey, and a bowl of polished rice.

Su Jiudong subconsciously looked at the dishes, the dishes were meat and vegetarian, but there were no dishes that were too greasy, so Su Jiudong could also rest assured that Wen Yiheng would eat: "There are no dishes that are too greasy, you can let go of eating today." ”

Gu Rong, who was sitting at the bottom of Su Jiudong, could detect the closeness, even intimacy, of the relationship between Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng just by this sentence.

When this meal can be regarded as a supper dinner, the votes of the masses outside Wangjiang Tower have also come out.

In the end, Su Jiudong won by a margin of 79 votes higher than Gu Rong, and Su Jiudong, the dark horse that came out at the end, defeated the "winning general" and the much-anticipated Gu Rong in the red, and became the first place in this year's poetry competition in Yuzhou, ranking as the champion.

Su Jiudong had already experienced the joy of victory in advance just now, and he was much calmer at this time.

In addition, the dinner in front of them is equivalent to the celebration banquet of the champion of the Fighting Poetry Club, so everyone's emotions are no longer as excited as when the results just came out, but tend to be calmer.

Gu Rong raised the fruit wine again and toasted Su Jiudong: "Miss Jiudong humbly refused just now, and now Rong can really congratulate Miss Jiudong...... Congratulations to Miss Jiudong for winning the championship, I Gu Rong is impressed with Miss Jiudong, although she is still honored. ”

Gu Rong no longer called Su Jiudong "Miss Shanxiu" at this time, but called her by his first name, in addition to wanting to congratulate the real Su Jiudong, it also implied the meaning of identifying his identity.

Su Jiudong drank the fruit wine directly, and said with a smile: "Gu Gongzi's talent is much higher than mine, in my heart, you are the real number one." ”

Wen Yiheng, who was busy "jealous", did not step forward to break the toast between Su Jiudong and Gu Rong, but silently stayed behind Su Jiudong, his eyes warm.

The poetry meeting has come to an end, and Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng, who have stayed in Yuzhou for five days, will also leave for Beijing.

On the carriage, Wen Yiheng began to enter a busy state of handling official business again, and Su Jiudong fell asleep and woke up, enjoying the scenery along the way, and enjoying himself.

In the afternoon, Su Jiudong, who woke up, met Wen Yiheng's deep gaze as soon as he opened his eyes, and his starry eyes were full of pampering.

"Why are you staring at me like that? It's a little scary. Rao is Wen Yiheng stared at him with affection, and Su Jiudong was almost so frightened that he jumped up from his seat.

"It's beautiful, my wife's sleeping face is so beautiful, I can relax when I stare at it......" Wen Yiheng stretched his waist slightly, and sat by the window with Su Jiudong in his arms, blowing the afternoon breeze.

Su Jiudong muttered, "There are still three days to go to the capital...... Originally, I thought that Gu Gongzi would come to Beijing with us. ”

Wen Yiheng hugged Su Jiudong tighter, and his voice was lazy: "That's fine, no one disturbs our alone time, Gu Rong has his own team, naturally he doesn't want to trouble us, and he doesn't dare to trouble me......"

Su Jiudong suddenly looked sideways: "Did he recognize you?" ”

Wen Yiheng nodded: "Otherwise, why does he keep being respectful to me?" ”

"But isn't he going to Beijing to take the exam? How could you know a high-ranking official like you? Su Jiudong wondered.

"You only remember that he said that he was going to enter Beijing to take the exam, but you forgot that he was originally from Beijing." Wen Yiheng gently knocked Su Jiudong's forehead, "You can come and go at will in Jingshan Temple, and you can walk freely in the peach blossom forest, what kind of ordinary family ......background can it be?"

Su Jiudong guessed: "Ah...... That's right, looking at his clothes and talking, maybe he is the queen of an official eunuch in the capital. ”

In ancient times, not all readers could read a wide range of books, after all, books are also a kind of resource, and those who could not afford to buy books or read books would even do odd jobs just to save money to buy books.

And Gu Rong has read a lot of famous books at a young age, he is generous and calm, and at first glance he is a son of an official family raised with real money, and his bearing is extraordinary.

"He is the son of a scholar of Gu University, and his real name is indeed Gu Rong, not a fake name made up by Hu." Wen Yiheng introduced: "It is estimated that he traveled around the world, and now that the scientific examination is approaching, he was called back to the capital by Scholar Gu to prepare for the exam." 228 Literature Network

Speaking of Gu Rong now, Wen Yiheng is much more indifferent, and there is no such thing as eating flying vinegar at the beginning.

"Scholar Gu?" Su Jiudong became interested: "But why did I rarely hear of the name of Gu University Scholar when I entered Beijing for a long time?" ”

Wen Yiheng explained: "Scholar Gu is very old, and he has become an idle official, speaking of which, Scholar Gu still has some relationship with my father. ”

Wen Yiheng's sentence obviously had something to say, so Su Jiudong guided: "What kind of origin method? I remember that Zhu Guogong also seemed to have very little contact with officials. ”

Wen Yiheng said: "Since Daddy returned home, he has indeed rarely interacted with officials in the DPRK and China, and he only intersected with him after Gu University became a scholar. ”

"I remember that Scholar Gu likes to play Liubo chess, and most of the officials in the DPRK and China play chess, so the only one who can make friends with Scholar Gu is my father, who is also a retired person and also plays Liubo chess."

Liubo is also known as Lu Bo, two people play against each other, each person has six chess pieces to get started, so it is called Liubo, the key to its victory or defeat lies in the throwing, the two sides according to their respective throwing teeth to pick chess, focusing on chance.

When playing Liubo, there was a lot of laughter, and Zhu Guogong and Gu Dashi, the two "retired" old men, were also trying to play Liubo chess, so they played so much.

"Scholar Gu also played chess when he was young, and later turned to Liubo chess, when he was still a scholar of Longtuge, he often played chess with those Hanlin in his spare time, and he won every game, and others praised him for his superb chess skills."

Su Jiudong exclaimed: "Do you have to win every game?" He can be regarded as a contemporary chess master! Gu Gongzi has such a powerful father, no wonder he is so pursuing literature and art. ”

Wen Yiheng looked up and laughed rarely: "Hahaha, even you are stunned!" It's not that Master Gu is a master of chess, there is another way in it, and the door in this is what my father helped him discover. ”

Su Jiudong said with a smile: "Zhu Guogong, he still has the ability to help others discover their own problems? ”

Then if he travels to modern times, he can become a psychological counselor, Su Jiudong said silently in his heart.

"How can Daddy help others discover their own problems, it's just to inform Scholar Gu of the facts." Wen Yiheng waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "Things still have to continue to start with Liubo Chess." ”

"Originally, when Gu was a scholar or a scholar of Longtuge, he would win every game, and he would win every game, but after he gave his name, he lost the favor of the goddess of luck, and he would lose in the game, guess what?"

"Could it be that chess skills have regressed?" Su Jiudong guessed: "People are not as good as old age, their thinking ability is not as good as before, and it is not a strange thing that chess skills have regressed." ”

Wen Yiheng shook his head while laughing: "No, Gu Daxue's chess prosperity is still the same as it was back then." "But every time I play with others, I will lose every game, which is very disappointing.

Su Jiudong was already aroused by Wen Yiheng's curiosity, and grabbed Wen Yiheng's arm: "What is the reason for that?" ”

"It's just that the official position is at odds with people's hearts." Wen Yiheng is light and frank, and there is no shortage of disdain for some people's masks.

"At that time, Daddy told me that every time he played a game with Scholar Gu, Scholar Gu would sigh after losing, why did chess skills regress so much, this question troubled Scholar Gu for nearly four years, and finally woke up by Daddy's words."

"What are those words?" Su Jiudong was so anxious when he heard this, he couldn't wait to turn into a scholar Gu immediately, just to listen to what Zhu Guogong said, and wake up Scholar Gu directly.

Wen Yiheng raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "You really want to know?" ”

Su Jiudong's eyebrows were full of sincerity: "It's true." ”

Wen Yiheng laughed and said, "If you want to know the answer, then you have to pay something first...... Kiss me, and I'll tell you the answer. ”

"Fleshy." Su Jiudong took a sip of Wen Yiheng, and finally hurriedly kissed him on the right cheek, only to finally get Wen Yiheng to laugh and "generous" answer.

"Daddy said to Scholar Gu that the reason why Scholar Gu often loses now is because he no longer enjoys power in the court."

"Originally, before Gu Daxue became a scholar, he could speak well in the three provinces and six ministries, and his words were very weighty, and the officials all held him for him, and even asked for him, so he would win every time he played with others, and he would win every game."

Wen Yiheng emphasized: "After Gu University Scholar Zhishi, he no longer holds important positions in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and he is not very useful in the three provinces and six ministries, and others have nothing to ask for him." ”

"You might as well think about it, if you no longer hold the position of an important minister in the court after you retire, you have no rights in your hands, and others no longer have to ask for you, so naturally you don't need to tolerate you."

"So it wasn't that Gu Dashi was outstanding in chess, but that he was begged for by others, put up with him, and deliberately lost to him to make him happy, but now he has no real power in his hands, and others don't have to ask him anymore, of course, they won't put up with him anymore."

Su Jiudong had doubts again: "But I remember, isn't Liubo chess very accidental?" How did others deliberately lose to Scholar Gu? ”
