Chapter 8: Who Is He?

When the last rays of the setting sun faded away from the lake, the shore of the lake was still full of people.

are all those students and literati who were eliminated in the first round of couplets.

They stood in the cool night breeze, one by one, waiting for the news from the boat.

At this moment, the fans in their hands were also put away, and even the little eyes did not glance at a certain clever girl.

After all, it has already been lost.

The literati value face, and what they need now is to cover up their embarrassment, not to expose their failures again.

But there must still be talk, so it seems more calm.

"Who do you think will be the leader of this meeting?"

"What kind of suspense can there be? When it arises among the three great talents of our Guangling City...... All three of them went up to the third floor of the painting boat. ”

"Not necessarily, don't you know that the four of you are here in Kyoto?"

“...... This brother, are you talking about two of the four great talents of Kyoto? Which two are they?"

Hua Manting Hua Da Ru and Guangling City Xuezheng Zhang Pingju were squeezing into the painting boat in the crowd, and the sound of these students was heard in their ears.

"One of them is Su Muxin, the first of the four great talents in Kyoto, and the second is Qi Zhixue, a genius boy from the Qi family in Kyoto. ”

"Qi Dashao of the Qi family is also here? In this way, it seems that this good thing will eventually fall on the Qi family. ”

"But isn't Qi Zhixue slightly inferior to Su Muxin in poetry?"

"What do you know, the Qi State Mansion and the Zhongli Mansion are called the right people! As for Su Muxin...... He is indeed very knowledgeable, but after all, he was born in a poor family. ”

"Although Zhongli Mansion is not one of the five major mansions, the heritage of Zhongli Mansion and the imperial favor it has received are not lost to the five major mansions. This kind of high-ranking lord emphasizes a strong marriage, in order to of course the respective families can go to the next level, could it be that you are still lucky to think that this article will choose a son-in-law will really be born from you poor people?"

The young man opened the fan with a brush, revealing a high-ranking appearance, "This is all for you people to see, what kind of woman is the third lady of Zhongli Mansion? The marriage must be the young master of Qi from the Qi Mansion!"

Everyone showed a look of sudden realization.

One by one, they immediately put down the knot of failure, and what they said in their ears was not that there was any flaw in their couplet, but that this matter turned out to be internal.

No wonder I lost.

The people on the boat were also running along.

It's all about acting in a play.

But there is still no one to go, as if they are looking forward to the final result to prove that they are not defeated because of their poor level.

......

......

The boat is on three floors.

Li Chendong put his pen on the paper, and a moment later he wrote down a poem.

He read the poem carefully, and was very happy in his heart, feeling that this was the best poem he had ever made in his life.

If you can win today's Wenkui with this poem and become the fast son-in-law of Chenglong in Zhongli's mansion, you will be able to soar into the sky and become an upstart of the younger generation in the future.

If the third lady of Zhongli Mansion marries the Li family in Guangling, then the lintel of the Li family in the future will be much better than the two rooms in the jade capital, and even taller.

My father will be pleased, if I go to Yujing City in the future, I think my father will dare to knock on the door of the eldest uncle's second uncle's house with his head held high.

Mother...... It will become the main house of the Li family, and the main house of today...... It's time for her to move out of the east yard, too.

Li Chendong looked up, but he didn't see the shadow of Miss Zhonglisan, he felt a little sorry in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he was the first to take this piece of paper to the front desk.

Handing the poem to the three old scholars, he returned to his seat and sneered at the men standing by the lake outside the window.

A bunch of scum!

Toads also want to eat swan meat?

I don't know how thick the sky is!

Su Muxin, who was sitting in front of the front window, had already written the words he had made at this moment, looked up at Qi Zhixue on the side, the two looked at each other and smiled, and there seemed to be thousands of flickering sparks where their eyes met.

They got up and brought their poems to the front desk.

After a while, the rest of the students were no longer reserved, and they put down their pens one after another, and then sent them to the hands of the three judges.

At this moment, Ning Chuchu in the cabin in the back retracted her gaze, picked up the teacup and looked at Shen Qiaodie again, took a sip of tea, and she still asked again:

"Miss Shen, although I have already released that word, I will definitely be able to help you do it, but this matter is not a trivial matter after all, you ...... Do you want to think again?"

Where would Shen Qiaodie think about Li Chen'an!

Since she was sensible, since she heard about Li Chenan's unbearable, this marriage has become her nightmare.

Although she was born into a merchant family, her knowledge is excellent!

In this Guangling City, although her name is not as loud as Zhongli Ruoshui, she is also a well-known talented woman in Guangling City.

What's more, she is also a good hand in business, especially good at settling accounts.

If she hadn't had that engagement with her, she felt like she had found the perfect match...... For example, Huo Shufan, one of the three great talents of Guangling.

But because of her father's confusion, she and Huo Shufan could only fall in love with each other, but they couldn't make a personal promise.

After a few more flowers, I can only leave a sigh after all.

Her father's departure from the marriage book made her full of expectations, but unexpectedly, Li Wenhan didn't care about face, even if it was known all over the city, he would not return the marriage book.

Now that she has this noble person in charge of herself, of course it is something she can't ask for!

The little woman had already figured it out...... Ben was sad and felt that this was the life of the little woman, and the Li Mansion did not return the marriage certificate...... The little woman could only accept her fate. ”

"I just want to be with Li Chen'an in the future, but they are like strangers to each other, and the so-called raising eyebrows and growing old together naturally has nothing to do with me, so I think I have entered Buddhism...... Cultivate a pure body in that sea of suffering. ”

"If the son can help the little girl get out of that sea of suffering...... The little girl is grateful to her son all her life!"

When Shen Qiaodie said this, two lines of tears flowed, and she looked more and more sad and pitiful, and Zhongli Ruoshui on the side felt more and more hateful about the Li family.

Zhongli Ruoshui, who was good at fighting grievances, spoke, and his words were full of anger:

"Why should the daughter's family be bound by a marriage contract from her father?"

"Why do you want to marry a chicken and a dog, and marry a dog? If that man is really like a chicken and a dog...... Isn't your whole life ruined like this?"

"Don't worry, four...... Childe will make the decision for you!"

Ning Chuchu thought to himself, although he had nothing to do with this Shen Qiaodie, but this woman was also one of Zhongli Ruoshui's close friends after all. Besides, she can't make decisions about her own marriage, of course she hopes that Shen Qiaodie's marriage will not be so tragic.

So she swore and said: "Okay, since the girl has this determination, my son should have the beauty of perfection, but we have to make it clear first, once this marriage contract is canceled, you can't regret it!"

Where would Shen Qiaodie regret it, it was too late for her to be happy.

She hurriedly got up and said a blessing to Ning Chuchu: "Little girl...... I'd rather die than regret it!"

At this moment, a maid brought in six excellent poems that had been judged by the three old scholars.

"Miss, the three elders said that the leader of this literary meeting should be born in these six poems, all of them are among the middle uncles, and how to decide in the end depends on the meaning of Miss. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui took these six poems and looked at them one by one, not to mention that these six poems are really good, but ...... "Compared with that person's poem, these poems are either too ingenious, or have no rhyme, or ...... Visible and non-theistic...... Hey, what are these two guys Qi Zhixue and Su Muxin doing to join in the fun?"

"Kyoto's Four Great Talents...... Compared with that person's poem, it still lacks three points of charm, Li Chendong ......?"

Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Shen Qiaodie, looked suspicious, and asked, "That person's name is Li Chen'an?"

Shen Qiaodie was also stunned for a moment, and replied: "Yes, I think this Li Chendong is his younger brother...... Half-mother, studied in Takeshita Academy, and now is already a talent show, I heard that this year's township test is very likely to be lifted, and it is also well-known in our Guangling City. ”

"Hey......" Zhongli Ruoshui handed these poems to Shen Qiaodie, "They are all the same father, why is this gap so big?"

"Isn't it? If Li Chenan has half of his brother's ability, I, I can accept it...... Third Miss, these poems are really good...... You just said that these words are a little worse than the man's poems?"

Shen Qiaodie took a cursory look and knew that these six poems were really rare.

Especially the two poems of Su Muxin and Qi Zhixue, which are rare and good, but Miss Zhongli San depreciated these poems, so isn't the poetry made by the person in her mouth the pinnacle?

Zhongli Ruoshui shrugged his shoulders, "You can understand it when you look at this one again." ”

She handed the poem written by Li Chenan to Shen Qiaodie.

The words are a little ugly, but when Shen Qiaodie read this poem, she was taken aback:

"Good words!"

"No wonder the third lady said so!"

"Who wrote this?"

Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head: "I don't know who the author of this poem is. ”

At this time, another maid walked in, "Miss, there are two people outside, saying that it is our Guangling City's Xuezheng Zhang, who is Pingju Zhang."

, and an old man said that it was full of flowers. ”

When Zhongli Ruoshui heard this, he immediately stood up, "Hurry up...... No, I'm going to greet it myself!"

After a while, she welcomed the two into the cabin and invited them to take a seat, Shen Qiaodie hurriedly put down the paper in her hand and poured a cup of tea for the two.

Hua Manting's gaze fell on Ning Chuchu's face.

Ning Chuchu's eyes blinked, and he laughed: "It turned out that the flower boss came, and my son gave the flower boss a cup!"

Which one is this singing?

Hua Manting did not reveal Ning Chuchu's identity: "Little Lao'er heard about today's painting screen lake literary meeting, so he came to join in the lively ......"

He took a sip of tea and turned his head to look at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Your grandfather entrusted me with one thing, and let the old man check this literary meeting for you, these ......"

He gestured to the paper on the table, "These are poems waiting to be chosen?"

"Well, Grandpa Hua, please slow down, since you always review it yourself, you need to be confused!"

"You girl, do you think that Su Muxin is an old man's disciple and the old man will favor him?"

The eccentric Zhongli Ruoshui raised his eyebrows: "Kyoto knows that you love Su Muxin the most, who knows if you have that thought?" ”

"Okay, the old man also wants to see how these students are learning, and order someone to make a name for themselves. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui had just handed over these seven poems to a maid, and Kaiyang stepped in.

"Palace, Childe!"

"Got it all figured out?"

"Hmm,"

"Who is he?"
