In the Wangyuelou Restaurant, Liu Jin was carefully sipping the wine and food while looking at the people coming and going on the street below. Not to mention, he really felt a sense of enjoyment, especially when passers-by looked at him with envious eyes.
time, it feels even better.
“Yummy~yummy~so delicious~”
Zhao Erhu on the side was devouring his food, and he kept mumbling while eating, which made several scholars on the side show contemptuous looks.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu and said helplessly.
"Oh~"
After hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhao Erhu smiled and rubbed his head, wanting to imitate Liu Jin's behavior, but he felt awkward and unhappy.
At the dining table nearby, the young man saw Zhao Erhu devouring his food, and it seemed that the food was very tasty. He also felt that eating this way seemed more interesting, so he also imitated Zhao Erhu and started devouring his food.
"Just eat well when you eat. What do you look like?"
The middle-aged man with extraordinary talent couldn't help but frowned and said when he saw the young man imitating Zhao Erhu in a decent manner.
"I saw that he was tall and strong, like a powerful general. I wondered if he grew up like this because he ate a lot and ate quickly."
"When I grow up in the future, I will definitely grow tall and powerful, and become a general who can defeat thousands of enemies."
The young man pointed at Zhao Erhu and said, he had his own reason.
"A general with ten thousand enemies is always only ten thousand enemies. What about a general with one hundred thousand enemies or one million enemies?"
"A true general does not rely on personal bravery, but on the wisdom of strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away."
The middle-aged man looked at the young man, his eyes were full of a father's doting, but his words were full of hatred.
"I know, so I am also familiar with military literature."
"Humph~ I want to be a general who can win decisively from thousands of miles away, and I also want to be Zhao Zilong who can kill three in and three out in the enemy's formation."
The young man raised his head and gestured while talking.
"This Wangyue Tower is really not classy. It's really disappointing that such a vulgar person can come here."
Several scholars on the side were chatting and stimulating words. When they heard this young man's words, some couldn't help but ridiculed him.
"Isn't it true? There are vulgar servants in front of us and warriors who are proud of martial arts in the back. Dining with such people is really like playing the piano to an ox while the ox chews peonies. It is extremely disappointing. The food and wine have become tasteless. It's okay not to eat it.
.”
Another student also chimed in, mocking the people at the two tables, calling Zhao Erhu a servant, and despising the young man who wanted to be a general.
"I think I am great after reading a few books and knowing a few words, and I look like I have no one in the sky, but I don't know that every grain of rice on this plate was grown with hard work by the low-class people you look down on.
, to be able to moan without any reason here is because the soldiers at the border fought bloody battles against the barbarians, and only then did the world enjoy singing and dancing."
When Liu Jin heard these scholars ridiculing Zhao Erhu, he immediately criticized them. Originally, everyone ate yours and I drank mine. It had nothing to do with them. Zhao Erhu looked a bit ugly when he ate, but it didn't concern them.
Hearing Liu Jin's words, the young man who was about to get angry suddenly stopped himself and looked at Liu Jin with interest. The middle-aged man next to the young man also turned his attention and seemed to be suddenly interested.
As for the scholars at the other table, they all looked over and looked at Liu Jin's clothes. One of them raised his hands to Liu Jin and said, "I'm Huang Jinquan, I don't know how good my brother is."
What’s your last name?”
"My name is Liu Jin, but I dare not call you brother."
Liu Jin looked at the other party and said.
"I see that you are also a scholar and a disciple of a saint. Why don't you pay attention to your status and associate with such a vulgar person? Don't you know that a gentleman should be far away from villains and close to sages?"
Huang Jinquan's face suddenly turned uglier, and he couldn't help but said to Liu Jin.
"Are you worthy of being called a scholar? Do you have the nerve to claim to be a disciple of a saint?"
"If Saint Kong knew that there was a disciple like you, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood."
Liu Jin had no intention of saving face for the other party. With a few words, the other party became very popular and glared at Liu Jin angrily.
“Interesting~”
The young man on the side saw Liu Jin fighting with several scholars, and he immediately became happy, feeling that he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
"You, you are going too far to deceive others. Although I, Huang Jinquan, am not talented, I want to ask this brother for advice today. I want to see how much talent he has and how much he is so arrogant and arrogant."
Huang Jinquan was extremely angry at this time. He had never been so despised by others.
"I have little talent and little knowledge, so I am not as arrogant as some people."
Liu Jin smiled and did not pay attention to these people at all, which made the scholars even more angry.
"Brother Liu, you can choose any of these poems, words, articles, eight-part essays, pairs, chess games, word guessing, and calligraphy. If I lose, I will kowtow to you on the spot and become your disciple."
Huang Jinquan is very conceited. He is a famous talent in Baoding Prefecture. This time he came to the capital to participate in the Autumn and Winter Poetry Festival at the invitation of Qiu Wencheng, the head of the Shuntian Prefecture.
The meaning in the words is already very clear, that is, scholars, even if they have different opinions, fight with each other, it is also a literary fight. If it is a knight-errant or the like, it is a way to show the true skills of the subordinates.
.
"If we have three of you together, there is no point in beating one of you."
Liu Jin looked at Huang Jinquan and the others, thought for a while and said.
"Okay, if I, Tong Yuan, lose, I will also kowtow to you and become your disciple."
"I, Lin Shuhong, am the same."
When the other two heard this, they couldn't stand it. They had never seen such an arrogant person. Even if Tang Bohu, a great talent from the south of the Yangtze River, was famous all over the world, the three of them were still competing against each other. As the saying goes, Wen
There is no one who is first, and there is no second in martial arts. We are all young people, and it is inevitable that we will be arrogant. No one can stand Liu Jin's provocation.
"That's right. One-on-three is a bit challenging."
After Liu Jin heard this, he smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"If the three of us lose, we will kowtow to you on the spot, but what if you lose?"
When Huang Jinquan saw that his two friends also agreed to participate in the war, he thanked Tong Yuan and Lin Shuhong, and then asked Liu Jin.
"If I lose, I will recognize you as your master on the spot."
When Liu Jin heard this, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
Words like this are nothing new in later generations. Everyone can tell that Liu Jin is cheating. But this is ancient times. Everyone has not experienced the great influence of the Internet in later generations. If you don’t look carefully
Listen, think about it carefully, and you won’t be able to hear anything fishy in it.
"Okay, a gentleman's words can't be followed by a horse."
Huang Jinquan naturally didn't hear it and immediately said it very seriously.
"Well...it's hard to catch up with the horse."
Liu Jin almost laughed. He didn't expect that the joke he saw on the Internet was quite useful. The other party was so stupid that he didn't hear the fishiness in his words.
"Haha~ Interesting, interesting!"
The young man on the side couldn't help laughing at this time, and the middle-aged man next to him was also smiling and showing great interest, ready to watch the next battle between the two sides.
