Chapter 14: Please sir

"University talent, do you want to link down?"

The coachman was slightly stunned, and suddenly became very expectant, because he fully believed that with Lu Ming's talent, he could definitely answer the next link.

Lu Ming looked at Shanglian and pondered, and then he heard a passer-by ridicule and said: "A scholar from other places also wants to come to the first scribe in Suzhou?

"What are you talking about? Someone wants to write the next couplet of Yan Wenshi? Go over and take a look!"

"Huh...... This is the first absolute in Suzhou, how can a mere scholar have that literary talent to answer the next couplet? He is just joining in the fun!"

"Hey...... Maybe, it looks like this kid is confident, maybe he can really write the next couplet!"

"Haha...... It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! How long has he been reading the couplet before he wants to answer it? Who does he think he is? Is he a scholar? Laughing to death!"

Lu Ming looked back at the person who was sneering at him, there was no color on his face, and said to the coachman: "Bring a pen!"

"Yes!"

The coachman immediately took the brush and handed it to Lu Ming, and then stood behind him, his eyes wide open, looking forward to it.

"Wait......"

Lu Ming paused for a moment and asked the coachman, "If I write a couplet, where will I go to receive this reward?"

The coachman said: "The guards at the pass are the children of the Yan family, if you write the following couplet, you can go there and leave a name, and after the Yan family verifies, the reward will naturally be sent to you." ”

"I see, no wonder it can become the first pair in Suzhou, I'm afraid that some people are not not wrong, but ...... Don't dare to be right!"

The corners of Lu Ming's mouth rose slightly, others were afraid of the Yan family's revenge, but he was not afraid at all.

Anyway, if you offend a Yan Weiqing, you will already offend the entire Yan family and the Shoufu family, since this is the case, I will first give the Yan family of Shaoming Mansion a meeting gift.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's inscription wrote in the empty lower couplet:

It's easy to get out, it's hard to be right, please Mr. first.

"That's right!", one exclaimed.

"What are you kidding, Suzhou is the first absolute! I was answered by this kid in a moment? What is his origin!"

"Hey...... This kid is miserable, answering Yan Wenshi's couplet is equivalent to slapping him in the face, Yan Wenshi will definitely not let him go!"

"I don't know how thick the sky is, I really think that anyone can match this kind of couplet? Wait! This time there is a good show!"

Some people are amazed by the lower link, and some people gloat.

Lu Ming looked up at the "Suzhou No. 1 Absolute" poster, and after a little hesitation, he took it off and said to everyone: "Since it is not absolute, this poster should also be torn off!"

"Presumptuous! Who dares to tear up my Yan family's son-in-law's notebook! Don't you want to live!"

A soldier at the pass came angrily, but as soon as he saw Lu Ming wearing a scholar's uniform, his face immediately changed, and he arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be a scholar, why did you remove this post?"

Lu Ming glanced at this person and said slowly: "I have already written the next couplet, so I will take this post down, do you have any advice from the military master?"

"You wrote the next couplet?"

Guan Bing was a little unconvinced, looked up at the couplet in front of him, and suddenly panicked: "How is ......it possible? You really wrote this couplet?"

"What everyone sees, how can it be false?"

"Scholar, the person who can answer the eldest son of my family, you are the first person in the entire Shaoming Mansion, and of course, the last person!"

Guan Bing's tone was gloomy, and there was a hint of threat in it.

"There is no one before and no one after you, and it's too much for you to say that!"

"Hmph, what an iron tooth and copper tooth!"

Guan Bing said: "Leave your name and address, and after I report back to my son, I will immediately send someone to send you a reward." ”

"When I first arrived, I didn't know the place, and I haven't settled yet. ”

Lu Ming then asked the coachman: "You are familiar with this place, which inn do you plan to take me to?"

"Qingfeng Inn, I am very familiar with it. ”

"Then we'll wait at the Qingfeng Inn. Lu Ming said.

"Yes, but you have to leave a name!", Guan Bing said.

"My name is Lu Ming. ”

"Lu Ming, I don't think I've heard of this name somewhere......

Guan Bing thought for a moment, and then his face changed greatly: "You are Lu Ming from Jiangxian University?"

Lu Ming nodded: "It's exactly below." ”

As soon as the words fell, many passers-by immediately stopped, saluted Lu Ming, and spoke very respectfully: "I've seen Lu Xuecai!"

"I said who dared to expose Yan Wenshi's post, it turned out to be the famous Lu Xuecai, who has been admired for a long time!"

"I read his Narushu poem "Early Spring" in the newspaper, and I admired it very much!"

"Lu Xuecai's "Early Spring" depicts the scene of early spring very well, as if you are in the scene, intoxicated, and difficult to extricate yourself!"

"His "Yuan Ri" is also very good, among them, "Thousands of households have pupil days, always replace new peaches with old charms" There is a kind of Vientiane update, yearning for beautiful feelings, very longing!"

"These two are the poems of Narushu, which are very rare!

The crowd was boiling like a pot.

Lu Ming thought to himself: "Is this the benefit of a literary name? With a literary name, you will be respected by everyone, and the more the literary name can be spread farther, it means that the more outstanding his literary talent is, and his status among scholars will naturally be different." ”

The coachman said: "Lu Xuecai, it's not early, and if it's any later, I'm afraid there will be no guest rooms." ”

"Oops, I forgot about it too!"

Lu Ming hurriedly said to everyone: "Xiaosheng still has important matters, I can't talk with you, please forgive me for being rude." ”

"It's okay, everybody's a passerby, we understand. ”

"Coachman, let's go in!"

"Please sit down!"

The coachman waved his whip and drove the carriage into Guanzhong.

After entering the customs, not far away is the city of Shaomingfu, the road is very wide, enough for seven carriages to go side by side.

The horse-drawn carriage drove all the way into the city, and there were various buildings on the left and right, and as night fell, the streets were lit up on both sides.

There are people coming and going on the streets, some holding small literary meetings, some people chanting poems into the night, and some people setting up stalls to sell, which is very lively.

"This is Shaoming Mansion City, it is really very different from Jiang County!", Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, there are a lot of people reading in the city, and they often travel in groups to play in the mountains and rivers, recite poems, guess lantern riddles, and hold literary meetings, which is very lively!" said the coachman.

The carriage went all the way and finally stopped in front of an inn, and the plaque on the inn was written with the four big characters "Qingfeng Inn".

"We're here!", said the coachman.

"Thank you!"

Lu Ming got out of the car with his luggage and handed the silver to the coachman: "This is the salary that was promised." ”

"Since I've watched your "Liweng Rhyme", where do I dare to charge your salary? Lu Xuecai, we will have a meeting later!"

After the coachman finished speaking, he drove the carriage away.

Lu Ming sorted out his things and walked into the Qingfeng Inn, where there were also many outsiders who were eating dinner downstairs.

When the shopkeeper saw Lu Ming, he immediately came over enthusiastically to help carry things.

"Objective, do you live in a hotel?"

"Are there any rooms?"

"Yes, of course!"

Xiao Er led Lu Ming to the counter to register, and after paying the silver, he gave him a bunch of keys to the guest room.

Lu Ming found the guest room on the second floor of his house according to the instructions, tidied up the room and went back to the first floor to enjoy the dinner prepared by Xiao Er.

After the meal was full, Lu Ming sat on the table and waited.

After a long time, a young man dressed as a scholar came in from outside, followed by two family members and a man dressed as a soldier.

That soldier was the soldier Lu Ming saw in front of Shaoming Pass, and he must have brought someone from the Yan family to send a reward.

"It's miserable! It's actually Yan Bawang who is here, he is a well-known little overlord, a smiling tiger, I hope you don't come to trouble me!"

"Hmph, I don't know who recruited Yan Bawang, this meal is really disappointing!"

"Shhhhhhh

Many people looked at the scholar with very jealous and frightened faces.

"Third Prince, it's him!", the soldier said as he pointed to Lu Ming.

"I thought it was a master, but I didn't expect it to be such a young boy, not enough to worry about!"

The scholar sneered, walked to Lu Ming's desk, and said arrogantly: "You are Lu Ming?

"Who are you?", Lu Ming asked.

"Yan Weilong, the third son of the Yan family!"

Yan Weilong held his head high, and his eyes showed contempt.

Lu Ming stood up, smiled and said, "Are you here to give me the reward of one thousand taels of silver? ”

"Bold! A mere scholar dares to be so rude to my son-in-law, do you know who my son-in-law is!"

Jia Ding shouted and said: "If you know each other, give me some respect, otherwise you will kneel in front of the eldest prince to make amends!"

Lu Ming's eyes were cold, and he didn't pay attention to Jia Ding, because he knew that this was just a means for the other party to scare people, and if they really wanted to do it, they would definitely not dare.

"Where's my reward?"

"Here!"

As he spoke, Yan Weilong took out a stack of silver tickets, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "But you can take it if you want, but I don't know if you have the ability to take it." ”

"What do you mean?", Lu Ming asked.

"My eldest brother has already read the following couplet you wrote before Shao Mingguan, but he is not satisfied. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Yan Weilong snorted coldly and said: "My eldest brother's upper link is: the switch is early, the close is late, and the guest is allowed to pass the customs; Although the cane is neat, but it is also a little opportunistic, my eldest brother is the right person, how can he let him pair up first?"

Lu Ming said with a smile: "If you can't even match the right person, then isn't my next link the only one?"

"That's why you're opportunistic. ”

"Then what do you want to say? It shouldn't be that you want to repay the debt, right? After all, I'm out of the next link!", Lu Ming's tone sank.
