Chapter Twenty-Nine: You Speak and Schem, I Speak Sharply
Looking at Shui Rong's slightly bitter smile, Jia Zhu looked at Jia Qiong, then smiled at each other, and pursed his mouth again, but the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't be hidden.
After a while, Jia Zhu looked at Jia Qiong and gave a look, then got up and walked to the opposite side, and Jia Qiong followed willingly.
Now it's time for the two of them.
At the same time as the two got up and walked, the scholar saw that Jia Qiong was also going to the stage, and he couldn't help but make a noise.
"Why is such a little doll also on stage, can he compose poems, play the piano, and paint? If you want to be famous, you want to go crazy. ”
"That's it, the stinky boy, get off the stage quickly, this is not the place where you came, you came to this kind of place at a young age, and you still want to go on stage, and you don't weigh yourself. Don't look at yourself if you're worthy. ”
"That is, come down quickly, so as not to be embarrassed, maybe you have read the basic books, but don't lose the face of our literati."
Seeing this, Jia Qiong couldn't help but look at Jia Zhu.
Seeing this, Jia Zhu couldn't help but smile and patted Jia Qiong's arm a few times to show that he was fine.
Then he said: "Don't you hear it, there is a precedence when you hear the Tao, and the one who reaches it is the teacher." Maybe you don't know that. Go back and read and write more, don't just read the Analects and think that you have read the sages. ”
Gu Xin and Gao Shixue, who had been paying attention to Jia Zhu and Jia Qiong, glanced at each other. Standing up, he said to Jia Zhu:
"Brother Jia, it is indeed a master who is a teacher, but at this young age, my brother has some disbelief. If you really have real talent and real learning, I would like to apologize to this brother on behalf of all of you. ”
Then he walked towards the center of the stage.
In the middle of the stage, Jia Zhu, Jia Qiong, Gu Xin, and Gao Shixue were all smiling, hugging each other's fists and bowing to each other.
After standing still, Jia Zhu didn't wait for others to speak, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know how the two of you thought about injuring my uncle's brother first, and then asking Brother Lian to invite our brother over." ”
Gu Xin and Gao Shixue glanced at each other, their eyes were a little surprised, and after a slight gesture of their eyes, Gao Shixue opened his mouth and said:
"Brother Jia, this matter was explained clearly to the prince of Shuijun, the fault is not ours, but your cousin's rudeness first, so we have no choice but to protect ourselves. Now it's to solve your brother's affairs that I came to this literary fight. ”
Jia Zhu looked at the two of them, the smile on his face was still the same, but there was no smile in the corner of his eyes, he looked at the two and said:
"Now it's me talking to the two of you, whether the two of you look down on our Jia family, or look down on us and other nobles."
Hearing the coldness in Jia Zhu's words, he looked at Jia Qiong beside Jia Zhu again, who was only seven to eight years old, the milk smell had not dried, and the fluff on his mouth was still there. So he didn't take it to heart.
Therefore, he just looked at Jia Zhu and said, "Brother Jia, what I said is a bit too much. Wang Ren was rude first, and then he did it. Why can't I fight back? ”
Hearing the two of them say this, Jia Zhu showed a smile on his face, half-squinted his peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile: "Why is what I understand different from what you and others say?" All I know is that you stopped my cousin for no reason and insulted me wantonly. forced him to do it. ”
Seeing that the two people on the other side didn't speak, but just looked at him coldly, Jia Zhu continued: "If you wait for only one person to argue with my cousin, how can such a thing happen, you must wait to see that one person can't win my cousin's argument." Then everyone rushed up, and the demons danced wildly, and scolded my cousin.
Seeing this, my brother was not ashamed to wait, and waved his fist at him. You and others attacked it in groups, and my cousin was invincible, and he was bullied to such a situation, so he was rushed to the hospital. ”
Hearing Jia Zhu say this, Gu Xin and Gao Shixue couldn't help but be a little angry. Although the matter is true, Jia Zhu said that he and others reversed black and white to ruin their reputation, which is not good, these nobles are used to being arrogant and domineering.
After the two glanced at each other, they knew that the matter had to be resolved, and their reputation could not be ruined by such a trivial matter, so they also looked at Jia Zhu with a smile in their eyes, the corners of their mouths curved slightly, and then said to Jia Zhu:
"Brother Jia's words, although not all of them match, after all, Brother Wang was injured because of it. Even if it was his fault, we fought back too much. ”
As he spoke, the two of them raised their eyebrows a few points, and they didn't wait for Jia Zhu to speak, and continued:
And Brother Jia's words also have some truth. I also missed a little bit before, although I also promised you ten times the compensation, but now that Brother Jia said so, I will wait for twenty times the compensation. A little silver, we can still get it together, and we also admire Brother Jia's hard work, this face needs to be given. ”
After speaking, Gu Xin and Gao Shixue looked at each other and smiled, then glanced at Shui Rong not far away, and looked at Jia Zhu quite provocatively.
After Jia Zhu looked at the smug smiles of the two, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of the other party, and immediately laughed with the two of them.
In Jia Qiong's eyes, the three of them are constantly sharp, but they are indeed full of smiles, like relatives and friends reminiscing about the old days and confidants and confidants.
I also have to admire, the young people in this world, maybe the disciples of the big families are like this, focusing on cultivating these, or they may be exposed to it. It is as big as seventeen or eighteen, as small as twelve or thirteen, all of them are constantly witty, fighting and wit.
After Jia Qiong looked at Gu Xin and Gao Shi for a long time, Fang slowly looked at Jia Zhu.
I saw Jia Zhu, his brows were tightly locked, thinking that he hadn't come up with a way to break the game, so he echoed the two of them and laughed, which was meaningful.
Jia Qiong knew that this was Jia Zhu dragging time, and Jia Qiong didn't know how to break the game, but he was also waiting for Jia Zhu's call for help, otherwise it would be a dish delivered to the door, which would not be fragrant.
Jia Qiong likes a conclusion she came to when she first watched Mao Xuan.
You can't follow their topic, you have to move yourself, let others move with you.
As long as there are flaws in moving, it means that there is an opportunity, whether it is military or the art of speaking.
If you are surrounded by men, you will run out of ammunition and food one day.
Finally, after the three of them laughed a few more breaths, Jia Zhu said to Jia Qiong: "Brother Qiong, what do you think." ”
Jia Qiong looked at Jia Zhu knowingly, and said to Jia Zhu: "Brother Zhu, I think what this Brother Gu and Brother Gao said is right, they are already very sincere, and they have increased the silver taels for recuperation to five thousand taels. Brother Wang is not here now, and we have to accept their kindness for Brother Wang. ”
Hearing this, the other three were all taken aback, and looked at Jia Qiong in surprise.
Jia Qiong saw that the three of them were staring at her like torches.
Jia Zhu immediately frowned on his face, and there were some doubts in his heart, but he did not stop Jia Qiong from speaking.
Gu Xin and Gao Shixue stared at him with constipation, and then looked at Jia Zhu.
And Jia Zhu's right hand stretched forward slightly, signaling that Jia Qiong could speak to represent his own meaning.
So the other three all looked at Jia Qiong again, as if they were all waiting for him to explain.
Immediately scratching her head, Jia Qiong pretended to be embarrassed and smiled and said:
"When the second brother Lian was sent to the hospital just now, he said that the medical hall would cost two hundred and fifty taels, and twenty times was five thousand taels, did I miscalculate, Mr. said that my nine chapters are very good.
This is all the kindness of the two brothers, and I don't think I should refuse. ”
Jia Zhu looked at Jia Qiong's eyes and was even more puzzled, he remembered very clearly, after all, it was only an hour and a half, how could he forget, at that time, Brother Lian said that one hundred taels of silver was enough.
Although Jia Zhu couldn't think clearly, it didn't prevent him from turning his head to look at Gu Xin and Gao Shixue.
At this moment, the two smiled a little reluctantly, thought for a while, looked at each other's eyes, understood the meaning from each other's eyes, and then nodded.
Gao Shixue's voice was slightly cold and said: "There is no problem, so let's think about how to compete!" ”
Jia Qiong looked at the two of them, and didn't wait for Jia Zhu to speak, but said:
"Brother Zhu, the two of them have no evidence, and they don't have any cash, how about we let Brother Shui and a few people from both sides come over to testify."
Hearing this, Gu Xin and Gao Shixue were like stimulated cats, and said to Jia Qiong hatefully:
"This little Jia brother, do you think the face of the two of us is not as good as this mere five thousand taels of silver? Or is it deliberately belittling the two of us? ”
Seeing this, Jia Qiong also knew that many people in this era of reading people regard face as more important than everything, but they didn't expect to let themselves run into two at once.
Then he pretended to be ignorant and asked the two: "Is this so, my grandmother in the house gave me twenty taels a month to support my studies, I usually study all the time, and I don't go out often, I don't know too well."
It will take twenty-one years for me to accumulate five thousand taels of silver for a month. That's a lot, you actually say it's just a lot, it's really rich. ”
An ignorant child's saying, the two people who said it were speechless. People are not sensible, so they say so.
And twenty taels of silver per month, it is also a monthly column for major families to cultivate their descendants.
My own money is still from all sides... Well, saved.
There is no shortage of money in your own family, but you can't show off to the outside world, if so, wouldn't it be a lantern in the toilet.
looked at the two of them again, still looking at them, and had no choice but to write down the note and hand it to Jia Zhu.
Jia Zhu looked at the two of them with tangled faces and speechlessness. looked at Jia Qiong's secret nod to him again, and said to the two:
"That being the case, let us consider the matter of literary exchange. You and I will go back and think about the topic, the way to learn, the number of participants, and other related matters, and then we will gather here again to discuss and then announce it to the public. ”
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Ren, and now it has become a contest between Wenchen and Xungui.
After a few people nodded slightly, Jia Zhu pulled Jia Qiong aside, he needed an explanation, if this explanation was not qualified, he needed to reposition Jia Qiong, whether it was worthy of his support.
The two apologized to Shui Rong and the others, and then came to the corner, Jia Zhu didn't speak, just looked at Jia Qiong quietly.
