"Xu Gongzi is right, the answer to this question is indeed not 'the willing person takes the bait', Lord Qinghe, you really answered wrong." Duan Yanxi also said kindly.

"Xun Zhi's lantern riddle, it seems that only Xu Xie Tang and Duan Yanxi answered correctly, since the two of them said that the county lord's answer was wrong, it must indeed be wrong."

"Yes, even if Miss Xun Zhi buys off her subordinates to cheat, it is impossible to buy these two talented people to help her speak, this matter must be a misunderstanding."

When everyone present saw Xu Xie Tang and Duan Yanxi coming forward at the same time, they all turned to Xun Zhi's side.

Gao Ruoya's face turned pale, and his eyes glared at Xun Xuan coldly: "But the county lord doesn't think I answered wrongly, Ziya Linxi means, isn't it that Jiang Taigong fishes the wisher to take the bait?" The county lord's answer is clear and reasonable, how can it be considered wrong? ”

"That's it! The county lord is very knowledgeable, and it is clear that Xun Zhi is a shallow learner, and in order to show off her literary talents, she wrote a lantern riddle that even she couldn't understand, and finally made up an answer to fool everyone! Qu Shiyu wanted Xun Xuan to make a fool of herself, and at this moment, she was naturally trying her best to help the county lord of Qinghe.

"What does Miss Qu mean by this?" Xu Xie Tang is not better temperament than Duan Yanxi, as soon as he heard someone say this, his temper suddenly became strange, "Could it be that you are implying that Duan Gongzi and I are also trying to show off our literary talents, and we scribbled an answer?" ”

After all, among the people present, only Duan Yanxi and Xu Xie Tang correctly answered Xun Zhi's question, although Qu Shiyu's words were aimed at Xun Zhi, but the speaker had no intention of listening, and Xu Xie Tang's refutation was also reasonable.

When Qu Shiyu saw that Xu Xuetang's face was not good, she suddenly felt a little empty-hearted, and she didn't dare to say more.

Zhu Siqian hurriedly stood up and said confidently: "Although Cousin Qu is a little unpleasant to speak, Miss Ben also feels that the county lord's answer is very reasonable, and there is nothing wrong. ”

Although Qu Shiyu was afraid of Xu Xuetang, Zhu Siqian relied on the power in her family and didn't take Xu Xuetang in her eyes at all, not to mention that in this matter, the person they helped was the county lord of Qinghe, and with such a tough backstage as the county lord of Qinghe, Zhu Siqian had nothing to fear.

"That's it! There is no problem with the answer of the county lord of Qinghe, it is clear that there is a problem with the answer itself! ”

"Isn't it that Xu Xie Tang and Duan Yanxi, the two sons, have fallen in love with Xun Zhi, so they are in a hurry to help her speak?"

Many of the ladies around Xun Zhi who didn't like her eyes also mocked with a look of disgust, deliberately pouring dirty water on Xun Zhi's head, intending to ruin her reputation.

Duan Yanxi has always done things above board, when has he ever been slandered in front of him like this? Immediately, his complexion sank, and he no longer had the elegance of the past, and said in a cold tone: "I feel a little uncomfortable in my lower body, go out first to get some air!" ”

Even the good-tempered Duan Yanxi was angry, let alone Xu Xuetang, but he didn't have such a good measure as Duan Yanxi, so he immediately turned his face and said sarcastically: "Talking to you straw bales who haven't read books is really a waste of my son's lips and tongue!" ”

After that, Xu Xie Tang also flicked his sleeves and turned around and left the Lantern Festival.

Xu Xietang's sentence "straw bag that has not read a book" is actually angry with many ladies present, you must know that those who can board the ship today are all famous talented women in Beijing, not to mention the five cars of learning, but there is also a car, and today they were directly scolded for "straw bags", which is really unprecedented.

The most ironic thing is that the talented girl Qinghe County Lord, who was praised by the emperor himself, was also listed in this "straw bag", and Xu Xuetang's scolding really offended half of the ladies of the Beijing Division.

But even Gao Ruoya, the county lord of Qinghe, no one dared to refute Xu Xuetang's words in a dignified manner, after all, so far, there are really few people who can surpass Xu Xuetang in talent and learning.

Xu Xie Tang has the courage to scold, naturally because he is a master of art and bold.

When Xu Xie Tang walked away, Zhu Siqian reluctantly whispered: "This Xu Xie Tang really doesn't take people seriously, none of us are nobles in Beijing, and he is actually called a straw bale!" ”

"Xu Gongzi's temper has always been like this, so you don't have to mind." Gao Ruoya smiled and looked at Qu Shiyu and Zhu Siqian on the side, and said in a calm tone.

Because of Qu Shiyu and Zhu Siqian's full help, Gao Ruoya naturally had a good impression of them, although there was still a modest and distant smile on her face, but her eyes were obviously a little more gentle when she looked at these two people.

Tan Baiyu saw that the scene was a little stiff, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "It's just a game, you don't have to be too serious!" ”

"What President Tan said is right, it's just a game, but the county lord of Qinghe has been entangled in the right and wrong of my answer, it is indeed too serious, since it is a lively festival, everyone should still value harmony." Xun Xuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke at this time, and responded with a smile.

Tan Baiyu was stunned for a moment, and with a little curiosity fell on Xun Xuan's body, it was obvious that he ...... This woman was ostensibly responding to his words, but in fact she was deliberately trying to make things bigger through his words.

Gao Ruoya's face did not change, and she looked at Xun Xuan with a light smile: "Miss Xun Zhi thinks that the county lord is making a big fuss?" ”

"The people don't dare, the county lord's attitude of studying is really admirable, but the county lord seems to have some misunderstanding about the people's daughter, since the county lord feels that there is a problem with the answer below, why not discuss it carefully with the next one, maybe you can also distinguish one or two."

Since ancient times, Confucian debate is an extremely elegant and interesting thing, regardless of identity and birth, regardless of high or low, only do learning, without grievances, that is, the example of a poor student winning the powerful son, is not uncommon in the Great Wei, this is a benign struggle between scholars, has always been advocated by people.

This woman is not small, she dares to argue with the lord of Qinghe.

Seeing this posture, Tan Baiyu was not in a hurry to persuade peace for a while, he had a posture of watching a good show, since it was a Confucian debate, it naturally would not involve personal grievances, and it had nothing to do with their business alliance in the world.

Tan Baiyu is naturally also happy to see it.

When everyone present heard this, they also showed a look at the show.

Only Gao Ruoya's face was blue and white for a while, and it seemed that it was difficult to make a decision for a while, she had always been very confident in her knowledge.

In this Great Wei, except for the dead Empress Dowager Xun Xuan, the name of a talented woman is Gao Ruoya who wants to recognize the second, and no one dares to recognize the first.

She didn't believe that Xun Zhi's talent could be higher than her, as far as she knew, Xun Zhi liked martial arts since she was a child, and her talent could never be compared to her who had studied since she was a child.

It's just that Gao Ruoya attaches great importance to her reputation as the number one talented woman in Dawei, if this debate is really lost, it is not just a debate that she has lost, but the reputation she has maintained for many years.

"What? Is the county lord afraid to fight? Xun Xuan looked at Gao Ruoya without changing her face, with a bit of banter on her face.

Gao Ruoya is such an arrogant person, Xun Xuan was a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "Why don't you dare?" Let's argue about it! ”

"Good!" Xun Xuan smiled, turned to look at the lantern hanging on the wall, "Dare to ask the county lord, do you know what Wenjun is in charge, what does Ziya Linxi mean?" ”

"Of course I do! Wen Jun dang refers to Zhuo Wenjun selling wine, and Ziya Linxi refers to Jiang Ziya fishing in the river, isn't these two sentences together a meaning of 'the willing person takes the bait'? Gao Ruoya said very firmly.

But who would have expected that as soon as Gao Ruoya finished speaking, a chuckle full of scorn suddenly came from the corner.

Isn't this laughter clearly slapping Gao Ruoya's face?

Gao Ruoya's face turned red with anger, and she glared in the direction of the laughter: "Who is laughing?" ”

Everyone felt the deterrent power on Gao Ruoya's body, and they all involuntarily turned sideways, and after the crowd, the man with a noble body in the corner appeared in everyone's sight.

I saw Jing Ying wearing a red brocade robe, and the man with a white fox fur lining his shoulders had a fair and handsome face, which instantly captured the hearts of many ladies present.

Jing Ying held the wine cup in her hand, leaned back on the chair lazily, and smiled arbitrarily: "It's this king who is laughing, could it be that the county lord is dissatisfied?" ”

Gao Ruoya's face suddenly froze, if she was someone else, she dared to laugh at her so openly, she would definitely not spare him, but this person was Zhao Wang Jingying.

Even the current emperor has to give him a little thin noodles, let alone talk about her as the county lord.

Gao Ruoya endured the anger in her heart, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth: "Is it that Ruoya said something wrong and made the prince laugh?" ”

"Don't misunderstand, the county lord, this king is just happy to get this wine." Jing Ying said, raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine cup in his hand.

Everyone can see that Jing Ying's smile is clearly aimed at Gao Ruoya, but including Gao Ruoya herself, no one dares to refute Jing Ying's words.

Gao Ruo's elegant face was blue and white, but the expression of a proud and beautiful face was very strange and stiff.

Xun Xuan hooked the corners of her lips, smiled a little thicker, and continued to say unhurriedly: "The answer of the county lord is to 'take the bait for those who wish', and the answer below is 'selling fame and reputation'. ”

As soon as Xun Xuan's answer was said, Zhu Siqian on the side immediately scoffed and said sarcastically: "It's really the donkey's head is not the horse's mouth, I don't see how your answer is relevant to the question, and it is not as clever as the county lord's answer!" ”

As soon as Zhu Siqian's words fell, she suddenly heard a crisp sound of "clang" and suddenly sounded.

Everyone was startled, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look in the direction of the sound, only to find that the thing that fell to the ground was the wine cup in Jing Ying's hand.

"Someone! This woman is talking nonsense, full of straw bags, but she is still indiscriminate, and she is thrown out of the boat for this king! Jing Ying didn't know how she had drunk too much, her face was a little drunk, and her tone was a little more arrogant than before.

"You ...... Who of you dares! I'm the daughter of the Grand Master! When Zhu Siqian heard this, her face changed in fright, and she shouted regardless of her image.

This boat is swimming in the middle of the lake, and if you get off the boat at this time, won't you just be thrown into the lake? If Zhu Siqian was thrown into the lake like this, it would be really humiliating.
