The surname of the Confucian scholar is Licheng, this champion and Lu Zhou book house are the property of the Lie family, when Lie Licheng's grandfather bought this champion and built the book house, just to get the light of Lu Zhuangyuan so that future generations can enter the imperial examination of Shiguang Zong and glorify their ancestors——

When the following Licheng, Liu Xingzhi, and Zeng Yu made a gambling contract in Luzhou Book House, and agreed to test calligraphy, poetry and Shiwen in Yichun Terrace on the fourth day of the sixth month, that is, on the first day of the morning after tomorrow, the witnesses are to be determined, in short, they will not be unknown.

The gambling contract was in triplicate, and the three of them each held a copy after signing the painting, Zeng Yu asked the servant of the bookstore to take a piece of oilcloth to wrap his gambling contract, and arched his hand and said: "Then I will say goodbye first, and I will see you on the Yichun platform the day after tomorrow." ”

Liu Xingzhi looked at the shirtless Zeng Yu and asked, "Your master and servant are still swimming back?" ”

The sky is still bright, Zeng Yu said: "Swimming across the river, it's not interesting, how about the two of you swimming in the water together?" ”

Lie Licheng snorted: "Being naked and insulting Sven is not for my generation." ”

Zeng Yuha smiled: "The four bodies are not diligent, and the five grains are not divided, it is your generation." "I went out with the gambling contract wrapped in oilcloth, walked a few steps and turned back to Lie Licheng and said: "Brother Lie, there is a good word to tell you below——"

Lie Licheng stared at Zeng Yu and said: "Hmph, what do you want to say, what kind words can you have, I'm afraid it is-hum." ”

Zeng Yu said sincerely: "Brother Lie, even if you can't get into this subject, you will have to go to school in the lower subject and lower department, but when Brother Lie sees the instructor, don't look directly at the instructor, otherwise I'm afraid the instructor will punish you." "Say goodbye and leave.

Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi in the book house looked at each other, and Lie Licheng asked: "Xingzhi, what does this surnamed Zeng mean by persuading me not to look directly at the instructor?" ”

Although Lie Licheng is a bit cross-eyed, as long as he is not in a hurry, his eyes will not be very obvious, and he is a rich kid and has many flatterers, so he doesn't know anything about his contempt for others with his eyes, so naturally he doesn't understand what Zeng Yu meant-

Lie Licheng didn't understand, but Liu Xingzhi knew it, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he couldn't help but laugh: "The surnamed Zeng pretended to be a ghost and played tricks, and wanted to disturb the minds of the two of us, don't pay attention to his words." ”

Lie Licheng nodded, walked back to the desk to look at the two gambling contracts, one of which was Zeng Yu's handwriting, and said, "Xingzhi, how do you see Zeng Yu's calligraphy?" ”

Liu Xingzhi came over and looked at the dozens of small letters written by Zeng Yu side by side with Lie Licheng, and said: "The words are not bad, I learned the "Lingfei Sutra" engraved by Wangyunlou, but the subtleties of the pen are not caught, you and I are the two kings of the law and Zhao Songxue, and they are by no means inferior to his words, and there will be a public opinion when the competition is conducted." ”

Lie Licheng nodded and said: "Xingzhi's calligraphy is slightly better than me, even if I can't win him, Xingzhi will definitely be able to, as long as one of the two of us wins him." ”

Liu Xingzhi shook his head and said: "It's really a bit of a victory to compete with him, it's chicken ribs, it's boring and boring." ”

Lie Licheng was full of interest: "This is also the time when the two of us are famous, and we must publicize it in many ways to let people know." ”

Liu Xingzhi said: "If you talk about Baguwen, how can the two of us be afraid of him, I don't know how well this person writes poems, wait for someone to check which county he is, and then ask his villagers about the merits of his daily poetry and calligraphy. ”

Lie Licheng said with a smile: "If he wants to win our silver, he is a pipe dream, he will definitely lose, and he will not be able to go to school, Ha Lu Ha - it is very easy to find out which county he is, his name is here, his surname is Zeng Mingyu, it shouldn't be a fake name, right?" ”

Liu Xingzhi said: "It won't be a fake name, I heard Huang Tixue call him a fisher." ”

Lie Licheng said: "I will immediately send someone to check the details of Zeng Yu, but which three celebrities should be invited to the witness in the middle of the competition the day after tomorrow?" ”

Liu Xingzhi said: "The brothers have a wide range of friends, and the brothers are invited to be the masters, so they are invited by the Wenhui to come." ”

Lie Licheng said: "How about inviting a supervisor to sit in charge, and then inviting two first-class students from the county school as witnesses?" ”

Liu Xingzhi said: "That's enough, although Zeng Yu was defeated, he was also famous." ”

……

The fiery red sunset in the western sky gradually faded, and the clear Xiujiang River also looked deep and blue, Zeng Yu held a small bag of oilcloth in one hand, paddled with one hand, and swam back to the south bank with Sixi one after another, sat on the shore to rest, and then saw that the Yuanzhou in the heart of the river had been shrouded in blue and blue, and this twilight came down so quickly.

"How should the young master spend the one hundred taels of silver if he wins?"

Sixi has blind confidence in the young master, and is already thinking about how to spend a hundred taels of silver, a hundred taels of silver, I have never seen so much silver, I can't mention it, the silver should be extraordinarily heavy.

Zeng Yu smiled and asked: "How should Sixi say to spend it?" ”

Sixi shook his head and said, "I don't know how to do it, so much silver, I can't spend it." ”

Zeng Yu said with a smile: "To tell a joke, two poor countrymen chatted, talking about what the emperor of the Jinluan Palace ate, one said that there are fritters and baked cakes to eat, eat fritters a day and eat baked cakes a day, and eat in turn; Another teased that you really didn't know anything, the emperor was on the Jinluan Palace, the fried sticks in his left hand, and the baked cakes in his hands were all just out of the oil pot and the stove, and they were hot, so they were delicious. ”

Sixi laughed "coo", but said: "But I really don't know what the emperor eats, what does the young master say, what does the emperor eat?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "The fritters and baked cakes are very angry, and if you eat too much, you will rot the corners of your mouth, and the emperor must have to drink tofu brain to reduce the fire, it is nothing more than these three foods." ”

“……”

The master and servant talked and laughed and got up to find the camphor tree that hid the food box and clothes before, and just swam from Zhuangyuanzhou, and was washed out of the water downstream for dozens of zhang, at this time the twilight was heavy, and it took some effort to find the camphor tree-

Zeng Yu rubbed his face and said: "Happiness is sad, the silver has not arrived, and I lost my clothes and food box first, which is sad and sad." ”

Sixi hurriedly looked at the front and said, "No, you must find it, don't worry, young master, can this tree still move the ground without feet, I'm afraid-"

"I'm afraid that people will see and take it." Zeng Yu said with a smile: "If my luck is so bad, I won't dare to bet with Liesheng and Liu Sheng." ”

Sixi saw the camphor tree, and there was a big branch on a high place, and he ran over and climbed the tree, and soon shouted happily: "Young master, the clothes are all there, and there is no one missing." "That joy is better than how to spend the hundred taels of silver, but in fact, this garment has always been on this tree, where does the joy and sorrow come from?

……

Not to mention Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi sent people to inquire about Zeng Yu's details, Zeng Yu also has to know the following and Liu, although he is very confident in his calligraphy and Bagu Wen, but there are many capable people in this world, although Lie and Liu are young, he must not take it lightly, he can be bold when making a gambling contract, and the preparation must be meticulous, judging from the small block of the gambling contract written by Liu Xingzhi, the calligraphy should be inferior to him, Lie Licheng's words are even worse, and he just used the "Lingfei Jing" style to write the gambling contract, which is deliberately short-

Yichun Lie's fame is not small, the owner of Zeng Yu's inn knows a lot about the Lie family, listening to Zeng Yu asked, this shop said a lot of long-winded, what Lie family who has a few concubines, how many shops in the city, and how many fertile fields outside the city, but how much Lie Licheng can not say how to learn a meridian Yinmao, in short, the Lie family has great expectations for Lie Licheng to study as a show, the invited teacher is a famous Confucian in the city, that Liu Xingzhi is a distant relative of the Lie family, and it is Lie Licheng's companion -

Since you can't inquire about anything, don't think about it, just give full play to your strengths, and then you can only believe in yourself.
