Jiang Zhong was empowered by Wenqi, stood quietly for a while, felt the mystery of Wenqi and Huan, cleansing the spirit of Wenqi, and felt extremely comfortable physically and mentally, until he heard Old Lady Fan call him in a cheerful tone that was almost abnormal, then he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Old Lady Fan with a smile, and said: "This couplet is written for the old man, why do you need any gold and silver?"

As soon as these words came out, don't talk about those family members who are standing with their hands down, even Fan Baotong, a little expert in the loser, is secretly speechless, a word is a thousand gold, a couplet is 24,000 taels of gold, what is the origin of Chen Renzhong, a simple sentence will push a mountain of gold away, doesn't he know that after getting that wealth, he can live three lives and three lives without worry?

When Mrs. Fan heard this, she didn't insist, so she rolled up the couplet and said: "That's right, this pair is a priceless treasure, and buying it with a thousand words of gold not only takes a big advantage, but it is also cheesy itself, let's talk about it." ”

Old lady Fan had just finished rolling up the couplet, and the mother-in-law who came to invite An just now came here again and said, "Old man, second young master, a few girls said that there was a good pair here, and they should copy a copy of it and read it." ”

Old lady Fan smiled and said, "Naturally, naturally. Then he cherished Jiang Zhong's pair into his arms, walked to the table, picked up a Zihao and copied out the pair, blew the ink, handed it to his mother-in-law, and said, "Take it and show it to them." ”

The woman took the pair, saluted again, and walked to the pavilion opposite.

At this time, Ouyang Qing, who had a miserable face, suddenly shook his face at Mrs. Fan and said, "I have thanked Mrs. Fan for his hospitality, and I am going to leave." ”

Old lady Fan didn't stay, nodded, and instructed the little servant: "Send Ouyang Hanlin." ”

The two little guys came over to lead the way, and Fan Baotong hurriedly shouted: "The couplet competition hasn't started yet, why are you leaving, Ouyang Qing?"

Ouyang Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Before the competition started, Chen Gongzi threw out the pearl and jade, how can he still use the pen? How can he still move the pen? And now that the old lady's wish is fulfilled, the second son will let me go back." ”

Fan Baotong agreed, and shouted: "Didn't you say that you have prepared a lot, and the others haven't been written yet, so why do you admit defeat, go and write them out!

Jiang Zhong remembered the scene in "Tang Bohu Dotting Autumn Fragrance" in which King Ning angrily urged Tang Bohu to go out of the pair through the intestines: "Hurry up and kill him." ”

Ouyang Qing just shook his head and sighed, and said: "The second son doesn't know, in the next three years, I'm afraid I won't be able to be a pair, the second son gave gold and silver before, and I will return it in full." After that, he ignored Fan Baotong and went out of the garden with his family.

Fan Baotong saw Ouyang Qing leaving, suddenly turned around and pointed at Jiang Zhong, and said, "The surname Chen, what kind of heart do you have, deliberately writing such a couplet, to show your ability! I think you just don't want me to have a good birthday! Where did you come from here, what are your intentions?

Jiang Zhong said: "Among the Xia Chen people, Jiang Guo Chang'an is a people. ”

Fan Baotong pointed at Jiang Zhong, opened his mouth, and said with an expression of "Did I really ask you to answer this?" Then he turned to Mrs. Fan and cried: "Grandpa, Chen Renzhong has evil intentions, just to destroy Hulu'er's birthday, and now he still looks like he has nothing to do with himself, grandpa, look at him......"

Old lady Fan patted her grandson's head and said, "It's hard for you to endure it until now." After reassuring for a while, he said, "Go and see if your sisters and sisters have a good pair to write." ”

Fan Bao informed that no matter how he cheated, his grandfather would not do anything to that Chen Renzhong, so he had to give up this plan, and said, "Then grandpa, I passed", glared at Jiang Zhong again, and left a sentence "You are a bad-hearted person, don't want to be my companion", then turned around and walked towards the opposite side.

Old lady Fan said to Jiang Zhong: "Little Chen Gongzi smiled. ”

Jiang Zhong shook his head and said, "The second son will one day understand the old man's good intentions. ”

Old lady Fan smiled and said, "I hope this day doesn't wait too long." Little Chen Gongzi, let's go sit in the pavilion. As he spoke, he turned back to the group of servants and said, "Go all of you." ”

Zhou Da followed and raised his hand, and all the families responded with a "yes" and exited the garden in an orderly manner.

Here, Jiang Zhong and Old Lady Fan had just sat down in the Octagonal Pavilion, and Fan Baotong had already entered the pavilion where the veil was covered, but what made him feel strange was that it was clear that all the sisters were in the pavilion, but no one spoke.

Dong Shiyin leaned on the pavilion pillar, supported her chin with her right hand, and looked at the silent spring water stupidly. Zhuang Yuya sat on the stone chair, holding a delicate small teacup in her hand and playing with it, looking over and over again. Meng Jian'e stood with her hands in her hands, looking up at the white clouds in the sky. Bao Feng, Bao Zhu, and Bao Tan stood under a willow tree as if they were looking at something.

Fan Baotong was surprised to himself, and in a blink of an eye he saw the couplet surnamed Chen on the stone table in the pavilion, he suddenly realized, and he couldn't help but get angry again, walked up to Dong Shiyin, and asked, "What is Sister Dong looking at here?"

Dong Shiyin turned her head to see that it was him, and said, "You go elsewhere, don't disturb me." ”

Fan Baotong said with a smile: "I'll bring my sister an embroidery pier." ”

Dong Shiyin didn't answer, Fan Baotong really went over and brought an embroidery pier, Dong Shiyin sat down, still in a daze.

Fan Baotong walked up to Zhuang Yuya again and said, "I'll pour Sister Zhuang a cup of tea?"

Zhuang Yuya smiled, put down the teacup, and asked Fan Baotong to pour the tea, at this time, she suddenly heard Meng Jian'e say to herself, "Yes", and then saw her walk to the table, holding a pen to write, just put down a stroke, and shook her head again: "The artistic conception is poor." Then he put his pen down and didn't write.

Zhuang Yuya took a sip of tea, got up and walked over, didn't take a pen, stood in front of the table for a while, and said with a smile: "I don't write a word today." ”

Before the words fell, Dong Shiyin walked over, took a xuan pen from herself, and wrote: "The colorful clouds are frightening, and they surround the lonely mountain. ”

A wisp of splendid literary atmosphere surfaced on the paper, and Fan Baotong hurriedly shouted: "Exceeded, exceeded, Sister Dong is more than surnamed Chen." ”

Dong Shiyin glanced at Fan Baotong, and then tore off the pair she wrote, and said with a smile: "It's not as good as that pair." ”

Meng Jian'e blamed Fan Baodao: "Ming said that let's make a pair to celebrate your birthday, but I invited such a person, and the pair overwhelmed us all, Hulu'er, what kind of heart do you say?"

Fan Baotong secretly complained, if he scolded out just now, he scolded himself so quickly, and defended: "I really didn't know that he would be so lucky to write that pair." To tell you the truth, I suspect that he is the one who my grandfather paid a lot of money to take care of me, and just now my grandfather said that he would pay a thousand dollars to buy this couplet, but he refused without blinking an eye, you say it is not suspicious? So, he must have really sung a duet with his grandfather. ”

The sisters Baofeng, Baotan, and Baozhu also came over, and the eldest sister Baofeng said: "This pair is worth a thousand words." ”

Bao Tan said with a smile: "The little brother is obviously afraid that his grandfather will arrange a companion for you to read, watching you read, saying what to sing double reeds, I heard that the little boy was rescued by Wang Fuyao's shopkeeper An Lu River." ”

Fan Baotong raised his eyebrows and said: "So what, I want to be a companion to manage me, and see that he can't pass my pass." ”

Baozhu said: "That is, in the end, he is just here to be the little brother's companion, not to be a gentleman, and the little brother doesn't like it at that time, so he will find a reason to kick him out and finish it, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Fan Baotong smiled and said: "Sister Baozhu is right, it's just, it's just that this seems to be more tricky than the previous ones, I just took a closer look at the surnamed Chen a few times, and found that he really has a treacherous face, and at first glance he is that kind of scheming person." ”

Baofeng Zhengse said: "Hulu'er, you will be fourteen years old tomorrow, you should also learn something, I think that little Chen Gongzi is really talented and learned, and then grandpa really arranged for him to be a companion for you, you must seize the opportunity to learn from others, and then like before, grandpa will be sad." ”

Seeing the eldest sister's face, Baotong didn't dare to play anymore, so he nodded and agreed.

Meng Jian'e continued: "The eldest sister is right, she is really scheming, how can she write such a pair?"

Everyone looked at the couplet on the stone table in the pavilion again, knowing that today's pair game would not be able to be done no matter what.
