Of course Jiang Yun won't take his words seriously, he doesn't believe it, the other party has no idea about the quarterly exam in a few days, if he can get the top ten in this quarterly exam, he can get the academy's county exam recommendation to register, which can save a lot of registration fees.

However, he didn't say this, just politely, praised the other party again, and said: "Shimin has won the award, in my opinion, in this quarterly examination, the top ten are in Shimin's bag." ”

Zhou Shimin was really happy, but he said a few words modestly.

At this time, Yan Zheng saw the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone placed on the stone table in the courtyard, so he walked over there and asked, "Is there anything big about Pingchuan?" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Yun hurriedly took the lead and packed up the manuscript paper on the stone table, he didn't want the two of them to know that he was writing the West Chamber. In the eyes of the two, he is a bookworm, if he writes a masterpiece like the West Chamber, wouldn't it be suspicious.

He hurriedly packed up the manuscript paper and asked the two of them to sit down, while covering up: "Where is the masterpiece, the teacher asked me to copy the 'Neutralization Theory' thirty times a few days ago, and I have been copying this for the past few days." ”

Yan Zheng and Zhou Shimin listened to it, but they didn't have any doubts, I remember that a few days ago, because of the east wind blowing, Jia Mengchen did punish him for copying the neutralization theory thirty times.

"Do you want to help my brother and help you copy some of it, so that you don't waste your time on this, and you can have more time to prepare for the quarterly exam in a few days. "Yan Zheng pretended to be righteous and caring.

Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "No need, anyway, the teacher didn't ask me when to hand it in, I'll just copy it slowly." Besides, Brother Yan's handwriting is not the same as mine, if he copies on behalf of him, I am afraid that the teacher will see it. ”

Zhou Shimin said with a smile on the side: "Pingchuan, you don't know, Brother Yan has a good kung fu song to copy, as long as your handwriting is not too remote and weird, you can copy eight or nine without leaving ten, then Jia Mengchen will not really look carefully one by one, it should be no problem to pass the test in confusion." ”

Jiang Yun remembered the "morning theory" of Huang Meishan that the other party peddled last time, and he was even more sure that it was a forgery copied by the other party.

Yan Zheng glared at Zhou Shimin, as if he blamed him for talking too much, and then diverted the topic and said, "Yes, Pingchuan, do you remember the young brother in Qingfeng Tower who was famous for his poetry a few days ago." ”

As soon as Jiang Yun heard it, of course he knew who he was talking about, just two days ago, he met this somewhat mysterious young brother Tai again in the Wanjuan Study, and the other party also bought the manuscript of Wang Chi's You Ku Zhushan Ji at a high price, and slapped Chen Mingyu in the face, which can be regarded as indirectly helping him out of his bad breath, and he really wants to thank the other party.

He said: "Is it the young brother who paid five taels of silver for Brother Yan, of course I remember, what's wrong, why did Brother Yan mention him again?"

Yan Zheng's face was a little unnatural, after all, he relied on the debt, and finally asked someone else to pay the bill, after all, it was not a glorious thing, but he knew that the other party was a little stupid, so he may not have deliberately ridiculed him, so he didn't take it to heart, but continued: "Yes, Pingchuan should still remember that everyone upstairs was curious about the other party's origin and surname, and that brother Tai put forward a condition, if someone can make a poem that is close to the scene, he will inform him of the origin of his name and surname, but at that time, Liu Chuhan and others wrote poems successively, but unfortunately they were not satisfied." ”

Jiang Yundao: "I remember that at that time, Brother Yan went up to ask the other party's name and surname, and the other party said this condition, but unfortunately Brother Yan did not compose poems at that time. ”

Yan Zheng said: "To tell the truth, I got a song for my brother at that time, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't rush to offer ugliness. ”

Jiang Yun followed the other party's tone and asked, "So, Brother Yan is going to give it a try today." ”

Yan Zheng nodded and said, "That's really what I mean." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou Shimin next to him, and said with a smile: "It's Shimin, and I have prepared a song." ”

Zhou Shimin smiled and said: "I'm just shouting for Brother Yan, as for not mentioning it, it's just a foil for you." ”

Jiang Yun said: "Shimin doesn't need to be modest, since Shimin has also prepared a masterpiece, it must be extraordinary, I am here to congratulate the two of you, the flag is victorious, and the horse has succeeded." ”

Yan Zheng asked with some surprise: "Could it be that Brother Jiang is not interested in this and doesn't want to go?" ”

Jiang Yunxin said, you are looking for me, aren't you just looking for a wronged boss to pay the bill, I don't want to be fooled by this.

He said: "I know that I am shallow in learning, and I am not as good as the kings, so I will not sacrifice this ugliness." ”

Zhou Shimin said: "Why should Pingchuan be humble, your east wind is now spreading in the county, who doesn't know, who doesn't know, now Pingchuan is famous in the county, I heard that the county order has also heard of it, here the younger brother is very envious, and he wants to congratulate Pingchuan!"

Yan Zheng also chimed in: "Exactly, exactly, this Pingchuan must be treated!"

Jiang Yun said in his heart, sure enough, the fox's tail was finally revealed.

He waved his hand again and again and said, "It's just a joke and graffiti, these are all false names, and they can't be true." ”

"The work of joke graffiti? Even the work of joke graffiti is so powerful, it can be seen that Pingchuan is extraordinary!"

After a pause, Zhou Shimin continued, "Yes, Pingchuan has been studying hard behind closed doors these days, I shouldn't know, the matter of Qingfeng Building that day, after Liu Chuhan and they came back to preach, has spread in the academy, and many people have gone to write poems in the past few days, but unfortunately it has not satisfied the young brother, and now this matter is not just a simple agreement, but a major event related to the reputation of my academy!"

"I heard that the brother Tai was very arrogant, not only criticized everyone's poems as useless, but also said that there was no one in the academy and that it was vain, and that if everyone could not write poems that satisfied him, it would be a crooked ...... like the east wind blowing Oh no, it's okay to have a smile like that. ”

He said so fast that he almost missed his mouth, but fortunately he woke up early and quickly changed his words.

Yan Zheng glared at him, as if he blamed him for speaking carelessly, and said to Jiang Yun: "So, this matter is already related to the reputation of the academy, how can Pingchuan, as a member of the academy, stay out of the matter, and must also make a difference, and since that brother is satisfied with Pingchuan's east wind, it can be seen that he admires and admires Pingchuan's talent and learning, if Pingchuan makes another move, he will definitely be able to make a blockbuster, impress him, tell the origin of his name and surname as promised, win this game, and win glory for the academy!"

Let what they say, how could Jiang Yun be fooled, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Actually, I don't have any interest in knowing the origin of that brother's surname, so I won't join in the fun." ”

Yan Zheng and Zhou Shimin looked at each other helplessly, of course they refused to just give up, and Yan Zheng said again: "Even if Pingchuan is not interested in the origin of that brother's surname, isn't he interested in the gambling money of dozens of taels of silver?" ”

"Oh, what kind of gambling money of dozens of taels of silver?" Jiang Yun couldn't help asking.

Zhou Shimin took over and explained: "It seems that Pingchuan really doesn't know anything about this, the Qingfeng Building matter has now spread all over the academy, so that it has caused a dispute between the students on both sides of the East and West Pavilions, and now the students on both sides of the East and West Pavilions have taken this Qingfeng Building as a place to compete with each other, and they have placed gambling funds, and agreed with each other that whoever can win this competition will be able to win all the gambling funds in the end, and now the students of the East and West Pavilions have gambling a lot, and the total gambling money is said to be as high as fifty or sixty taels of silver!" ”

When he heard that there was a lot of gambling money, Jiang Yun changed his previous careless attitude, and suddenly became a little interested, fifty or sixty taels of silver, for him, it was a big windfall.

He asked, "Are you saying that whoever composes a poem that satisfies the young man of Qingfeng Lou will get the gambling money of fifty or sixty taels of silver?"

Zhou Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, but there is a premise that you must participate in this gambling contract first, and invest gambling funds to be qualified." ”

Jiang Yun asked again: "Then how much is the gambling money to be invested in this?" ”

"A tael of silver. Zhou Shimin stretched out a finger and said.

One or two silver Jiang Yun came out naturally, he couldn't help but sigh, these academy students are too good at playing, originally an ordinary agreement, actually made such a big battle, so that it evolved into a dispute between the students of the East and West Pavilion, and this gambling game involving fifty or sixty taels of silver, the referee is just a teenager who doesn't know the origin of the name, if that brother Tai messes with the mandarin duck score, casually says that he is satisfied with someone's poems, wouldn't it be too cheap for that person.

Of course, he felt that the little mysterious and strange young brother Tai was not such an unreliable person, and it should not be so easy to impress him and satisfy him, Liu Chuhan's poem was very good, but it still did not satisfy him.

"Brother Yan, Shimin, so the two of you are also participating in this gambling game?" he glanced at the two of them and asked again.

Yan Zheng and Zhou Shimin both showed a little embarrassment, although they coveted the fifty or sixty taels of silver gambling money, but if they wanted to join this gambling game, they had to invest one or two silver first, which undoubtedly scared off a large group of people, including the two of them.

They can't afford a tael of silver, but if they can't become the winner in the end, then the silver or two will be wasted, and the final winner is only one, or even none, of course, if not, the silver can be returned.

Although they each have some confidence in their own poems, they do not dare to say that they will be the last winner, and after weighing the risks and disadvantages, both of them have made a wise choice, that is, not to join the gamble.

Of course, not joining this gambling game does not prevent them from going to Qingfeng Building to write poems, if they can satisfy that brother, they can also make a splash in front of everyone and be in the limelight, but they can't get the fifty or sixty taels of silver gambling money.
