Chapter XXXVII
"Since this palace has spent money, whose name you want to sign depends on your own palace's preferences." Huangfu Jingyu looked arrogant, and picked up the wine in his hand, "What's more, if Lianxin hadn't bought that poem from you, would your wine be able to be opened?" Is this your attitude towards your benefactor? ”
Benefactor?
Chu Ling smiled and shook his head.
Huangfu Jingyu's strong words, Chu Ling didn't expect that buying and selling poems was a matter of consensual thinking, why did the benefactor say it?
Even if Lianxin didn't buy poetry at the beginning, Chu Ling had other ways to let the wine start, but it would delay some time, since there was a good choice, why didn't Chu Ling use it?
Huangfu Jingyu's words reminded Chu Ling of a passage, the bottom layer abides by the rules, the middle level uses the rules, and the top level is the rules, and some things are destined from the beginning.
"Why don't you speak?"
Huangfu Jingyu continued: "Wine can attract a large number of people to the business of the time, isn't it the light of the Forgotten Lake Poetry Club? If there is no name of the head of Zhaoyan Courtyard, who knows the name of Chu Ling? ”
Chu Ling did not deny this.
If there is no name of the primary champion set by the Zhaoyan Academy, and he is still the first leader of the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Club, the wine will not attract a large number of drinkers.
"The princess said so much, did she want Chu to participate in the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Club?"
Chu Ling lifted the sleeves of his robe, and looked at Huangfu Jingyu with deep eyes.
Huangfu Jingyu'e frowned slightly, she didn't like Chu Ling's eyes very much, giving her the feeling that she was stripped naked and exposed in front of Chu Ling, what she thought, Chu Ling could see it, and inadvertently, Huangfu Jingyu's jade cheeks were a little flushed.
"Hongu doesn't!"
Huangfu Jingyu paused and said.
"But that's what Princess Shicai said."
Chu Ling said calmly.
"This palace said no, but no!"
Huangfu Jingyu said arrogantly.
Although she said so, but in her heart it was something else, indeed, Huangfu Jingyu did have the idea of letting Chu Ling participate in the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Club, otherwise she would not have invited Chu Ling over.
One is to see what kind of performance Chu Ling will have when he participates in the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Meeting, although Chu Ling has already stated that he and the Shunguo Mansion have done so, but Huangfu Jingyu did not fully believe it.
After all, Li Yunshu is involved.
If she dared to let Huangfu Jingyu find out that Chu Ling was pretending, then she would definitely intervene in this matter.
Huangfu Jingyu, who was born in the heavenly family, does not believe that there are people in the world who have no pursuit of fame and fortune, which is simply too rare.
One is that Chu Ling is indeed talented, and the poems he has written have made Huangfu Jingyu feel very strong, if Chu Ling can withstand her test, then Huangfu Jingyu wants to recommend Chu Ling, such a great talent, it is simply a waste to open a tavern among the people.
Don't look at Huangfu Jingyu is daughter, but she is broad-minded and hides a strong sense of family and country, she hopes that the Feng Dynasty can become stronger and stronger, rather than limited to some struggles.
"There is no best."
Seeing that Huangfu Jingyu's eyes were dodging, Chu Ling took advantage of the situation and picked up the wine and said with a smile: "The princess's words have always been a thousand gold, and Chu respects the princess." ”
"You!!"
Chu Ling's metaphor, how could Huangfu Jingyu not hear it, she was so big, and no one dared to refuse her like this, Chu Ling was the first one!
"It's time for this palace to make up its mind."
The annoyed Emperor Fu Jingyu suddenly laughed and looked at Chu Ling, "This palace suddenly thinks that it is a very interesting thing for you to participate in the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Meeting. ”
Liu Chengfeng was stunned, as if he had seen Huangfu Jingyu for the first time, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Huangfu Jingyu, who seems to have such a posture, is the first time he has seen it.
Aware of something, Huangfu Jingyu glared at Liu Chengfeng, the meaning could not be more obvious, why did you keep watching from the sidelines, but you didn't know how to help?
"Brother Chu, in fact, it is an opportunity to participate in the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Meeting."
Liu Chengfeng coughed lightly twice, and looked at Chu Ling with his robe, "Since the primary election has changed because of you, why don't you go to Forget Worry Lake to participate in the final election, maybe there is a big opportunity waiting for Brother Chu?" ”
"Brother Liu's kindness, Chu understands it."
Chu Ling smiled slightly and said: "There is no good thing in the world to drop pies, Chu is a layman and can't stand the temptation, but Chu is still young and just wants to be free without being contaminated with right and wrong, so Chu does not plan to participate in this Forget Worry Lake Poetry Meeting." ”
Huangfu Jingyu smiled.
Chu Ling is timid?
refused the Shunguo Mansion, no one in the world dared to do it, but Chu Ling did it, not only did it, the key is not to shake the face of the Shunguo Mansion.
"Are you timid?"
Huangfu Jingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a restrained smile: "If you are really timid, why didn't you leave the marriage certificate when you were in the Shunguo Mansion?" You said that the Duchess of Shunguo does not respect you and does not like that feeling, do you know that respect requires reciprocal strength to give?
Do you know that the brother Liu you shouted said that he wanted to marry the only daughter of Shunguo as his wife, and no one knows about it, you don't really think that you can marry the only daughter of Shunguo with a marriage letter, right? ”
"Princess, you're drunk."
Liu Chengfeng frowned slightly, looked at Huangfu Jingyu and said.
"Hongu is not drunk!"
Huangfu Jingyu patted the case and said: "These words... This palace has been holding back his heart for a long time, Liu Chengfeng, if you are really a master, you should fight openly and brightly, instead of being silent there.
You are not as good as Chu Ling in this regard.
Chu Ling originally wanted to withdraw from the marriage and didn't plan to have a relationship with Duke Shunguo, but the words of Duchess Shunguo made Chu Ling feel very disliked, so he decided to ......"
So that's what happened.
Looking at the emotional Huangfu Jingyu, Chu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, no wonder he felt a little hostility from Liu Chengfeng's body at first.
It turns out that Liu Chengfeng likes the only daughter of Shunguo.
At this moment, Chu Ling and Liu Chengfeng's eyes met, and from Liu Chengfeng's eyes, Chu Ling saw hesitation and hesitation.
"As for you Chu Ling!"
Huangfu Jingyu's phoenix eyes were sharp, and he looked at Chu Ling and said, "If you want to win respect, why?" Just by that towering Ling? I'm afraid it's not enough.
Shicai Hongu has already said that respect is the strength that requires reciprocity.
Relying on a tavern alone, no matter how good the wine is, how can it be equal to the Shunguo Mansion?
Since you want to keep the marriage book, then the palace advises you, the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Club is a big opportunity, if you don't want to participate, it's better to leave Shangdu as soon as possible, some things are really not as simple as you think. ”
The atmosphere of Orchid Garden became subtle.
When Xiang Ruonan saw this scene, she panicked in her heart, Huangfu Jingyu's aura was too strong, which she had never experienced before.
"Haha!!"
Chu Ling stroked his palms and laughed.
"The princess is right, respect requires reciprocal strength."
Chu Ling got up slowly, teased his robe and looked at Huangfu Jingyu, "Chu does not deny this, but whether Chu has the strength or not, there is no need to look at other people's faces."
As for the big opportunity, whether it is leaving Shangdu, Chu has never thought about it, what Chu wants to do or what he doesn't want to do, it is all up to his heart.
Chu still had something to do, so he retired first, and when he was free, Chu went to set up a banquet after drinking, invited the princess and Brother Liu to the banquet, and said goodbye. ”
"Wait a minute."
Liu Chengfeng got up and looked at Chu Ling.
"Brother Liu, still has something?"
Facing Liu Chengfeng's gaze, Chu Ling said calmly.
"Brother Chu will take this deed."
Liu Chengfeng took out something from his arms and walked towards Chu Ling, "Although I was very angry when I knew that you had a marriage contract with the Shunguo Mansion, I knew that Brother Chu was not at fault in this matter, since Brother Chu wanted to stay in Shangdu, he still had to have an industry, but this does not mean that I would give up." ”
At this moment, Liu Chengfeng's eyes were firm.
"Since Brother Liu doesn't want to give up, why do you want to give Chu a deed?"
Chu Ling didn't pick it up, but looked at Liu Chengfeng with a smile, "This deed, let's keep it from Brother Liu, Chu doesn't have the habit of reaching out to ask for things." ”
Liu Chengfeng's words let Chu Ling know that something happened without his knowledge, otherwise Liu Chengfeng would not have taken this deed.
Liu Chengfeng didn't take this deed and planned anything else, which proved that he was a fair and honest gentleman.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll drive you away?"
Liu Chengfeng was a little stunned.
"Don't be afraid."
Chu Ling replied: "If Brother Liu really does that, it won't be Liuchengfeng, although Chu doesn't know what happened, but Chu knows a little, Brother Liu is a gentleman and disdains to do such things." ”
"A gentleman?"
Liu Chengfeng shook his head with a smile, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart dissipated.
"Brother Chu, I want to have a bet with you."
Liu Chengfeng's eyes were firm, he raised his hand to salute Chu Ling, and said in a sonorous tone: "The final selection of the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Club, in addition to the top of the seven academies to participate, there are seven people who can participate, I didn't plan to participate before, but I want to have a competition with Brother Chu, if I can win Brother Chu, the marriage letter will be torn up, if I don't win Brother Chu, let Brother Chu make a request." ”
Chu Ling sighed lightly.
It seems that the gambling contract proposed by Liu Chengfeng, if it was someone else, Chu Ling would not pay attention to it at all, but it was Liu Chengfeng.
Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Chengfeng, Chu Ling knew that Liu Chengfeng was a gentleman and had no disrespect for him.
As the only son of the Enguo Mansion, with a background like Liu Chengfeng, no matter what he wants to do, there will be a large number of people who are willing to rush to do it.
"Brother Liu, does it have to be like this?"
Chu Ling was a little helpless, looked at Liu Chengfeng and said: "Actually, living in the eyes of others is a very painful thing, Brother Liu wants to ......"
"That's all there is to it."
Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "If Brother Chu feels abrupt, you can refuse." ”
"Interesting, interesting!"
Huangfu Jingyu got up with a smile and walked towards Chu Ling and them, "Chu Ling, can this palace also have a gambling appointment with you?" ”
"Could it be that the princess also loves the only daughter of Shunguo?"
Chu Ling looked at Huangfu Jingyu and said in a shocking voice.
"Chu Ling !!"
Huangfu Jingyu said angrily.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh.
In Shangdu, if you dare to do this to Huangfu Jingyu, I am afraid that there is only Chu Ling.
"Just assume that Chu didn't say it."
Chu Ling waved his hand.
"If you participate in the Forget Worry Lake Poetry Meeting, if you can really win the Liucheng Wind, no matter what kind of turmoil is caused, this palace can protect you."
Huangfu Jingyu snorted coldly, looked at Chu Ling and said, "If you don't win the Liucheng style, the grievances between you will not be mixed in this palace, but you Chu Ling, how about accepting the conquest of this palace?" ”
Chu Ling smiled: "Princess, you don't call this a gambling contract, right?" ”
"Whatever you want."
Huangfu Jingyu waved his hand and said, "Do you say you want to accept it?" ”
"Brother Liu, do you think Chu wants to accept it?"
Chu Ling looked at Liucheng Wind Channel.
"This is a bet between this palace and you, why do you want to ask him?"
Huangfu Jingyu glared.
"It's better not to accept it."
Liu Chengfeng said: "If Brother Chu really wins me, if there is any turmoil, the Enguo Mansion is willing to protect Brother Chu." ”
"Liucheng Wind !!"
"I accept Brother Liu's bet."
Under the dissatisfaction of Huangfu Jingyu, Chu Ling accepted the bet contract with Liu Chengfeng.
"This deed, Chu will accept it."
Chu Ling stepped forward and took the deed from Liu Chengfeng's hand, "If Chu wins Brother Liu, this deed will be considered Brother Liu's loss." ”
As he spoke, Chu Ling raised his hand and saluted, then turned around and left, Xiang Ruonan saw this and hurriedly followed behind Chu Ling.
"He agreed?"
Looking at Chu Ling's departing back, Huangfu Jingyu was a little stunned.
"Yes."
Liu Chengfeng said with a serious expression.
"Then why didn't he accept the gambling contract of this palace?"
Huangfu Jingyu frowned.
"Because of respect."
Liu Chengfeng said concisely.
Looking at Chu Ling's back as he drifted away, Liu Chengfeng ignited his fighting spirit, although he knew that it would be very difficult to win against Chu Ling.
The poems written by Chu Ling before, Liu Chengfeng boasted that he couldn't compare, and a talent like Chu Ling was too rare.
But he's willing to give it a try.
……
"Childe, haven't you ever thought about participating in the Forgotten Sorrow Lake Poetry Club?" Xiang Ruonan followed closely behind Chu Ling and walked towards the outside of the princess's mansion, thinking of all the suitable talents, and looked at Chu Ling with a puzzled face.
"I didn't think about participating."
Chu Ling said as he walked.
Xiang Ruonan was puzzled, "That son ......"
"Why do you want to accept Liu Chengfeng's bet?"
Chu Ling asked with a smile.
"Hmm."
Xiang Ruonan nodded.
Chu Ling said: "Because he deserves respect." ”
Respect?
Xiang Ruonan was a little puzzled, she didn't understand what this respect meant.
Chu Ling walked forward, if there was no banquet, he really didn't know that Liu Chengfeng and Shunguo's only daughter would have such a relationship.
However, although Liu Chengfeng knew about this, he did not use his so-called power or status to do things that were domineering, so as to force himself to hand over the marriage certificate, and this alone deserved Chu Ling's respect.
The only son of the dignified Enguogong, if Liu Chengfeng really wants to do something, even if it is excessive, Liu Chengfeng will not have anything.
Chu Ling didn't think about marrying the only daughter of the Shunguo Mansion.
Not all along.
The reason why he proposed to marry the only daughter of the Shunguo Mansion in front of Huangfu Yunling was that he couldn't get used to Huangfu Yunling's domineering attitude, why do you say anything, that's what?
Respect requires reciprocal strength.
The Shunguo Mansion is very strong, but this does not mean that you can do whatever you want!
"Do you think I can win the willow wind?"
When leaving the princess's mansion, Chu Ling looked at Xiang Ruonan with a smile.
"Childe can win!"
Xiang Ruonan's eyes were firm and he spoke.
"Then I will lend you good words." Chu Ling smiled: "It's not early, let's go back." ”
Before leaving, Chu Ling turned around and looked at the princess's mansion, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, some things are not forced, you will definitely be able to get them!
