Because Chen Shaokang was the last one to start writing poems, everyone's eyes inevitably focused on him.
The person next to him even asked him to write a sentence and read it for everyone to listen to and let everyone comment.
Soon Chen Shaokang wrote a poem, which moved many people.
This is a poem about missing a loved one sadly on a spring day. Thinking of the other person who just lost his brother who went to war, everyone is very sad.
Very few women came to participate in the poetry meeting, but everyone was moved.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Shaokang couldn't help but feel proud.
This is the result he wants.
His eyes couldn't help but fall to Ding Minru, wanting to see Ding Minru's reaction to his poem, but he didn't notice that there was a figure in the crowd staring at him.
When it came time for the second scene, Chen Shaokang picked out one of the poems he had memorized that matched the theme and wrote it down.
Not surprisingly, his poems once again attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, Ding Mingqing said in the ear of his second sister Ding Minru, "This Chen Shaokang is quite talented."
"It seems that Mrs. Chen has some reliance on her when she dares to come rashly to propose marriage to my mother."
Ding Minru looked at Chen Shaokang with mixed emotions.
She also sensed Chen Shaokang's talent from these two poems, but why has such a person not been able to get any honors so far?
Is it really true that talent is not appreciated?
She also thought that Mrs. Chen treated her daughter-in-law like her own daughter. Thinking about it this way, she was still a little tempted to marry into the Chen family.
However, as soon as she had this idea, she was immediately shattered.
A man who had been silent for a long time interrupted everyone's admiration.
"Chen Erye, when you wrote your first poem, I didn't want to expose you. I didn't want you to be so shameless and continue to plagiarize?"
"Plagiarism?" Everyone was stunned.
Chen Shaokang was also shocked. He never expected that someone could see through it.
But, "Who are you? I don't know you. Why are you slandering me?"
He really didn't know this person.
This is not the person who sold his poems at all. Could it be that that person betrayed him and sold one poem for two?
"Slandering you?" the man said, "Then let Mr. Chen tell me, under what circumstances did this first poem come from?"
"This is to commemorate my deceased brother, and I had a feeling..."
"Nonsense, this is clearly the Qingming Festival, and I wrote this in memory of my late mother..."
"You said you wrote it for your deceased mother, what evidence do you have?" Chen Shaokang pretended to be calm and said.
The man faced everyone and said, "Cuiwei in the poem refers to Cuiwei Mountain where my mother is buried, and Wan Zhangsong refers to the famous thousand-year-old pine in Cuiwei Mountain..."
"I dare to ask, where is my brother buried? Did he live next to my mother, so the scene in front of the grave is exactly the same?"
Upon hearing this, some people present also thought about it.
"In the beginning of spring, I went hiking in Cuiwei Mountain. There is indeed a thousand-year-old pine there as Brother Xu said..."
After listening to what the man said, everyone present still didn't understand. It was indeed Chen Shaokang who plagiarized it.
Everyone looked at Chen Shaokang with disdain and contempt.
"Why do you have the nerve to stay here? Why don't you get out and don't let me see you in the future!"
Ding Minru blushed with anger and ordered people to throw Chen Shaokang out.
Chen Shaokang just hid back in his house with his tail between his legs.
Hearing this, Su Nianyun laughed loudly.
"Mama Liu, you are the best to inquire about this kind of thing. The second master will definitely not dare to tell the old lady such a thing..."
Su Nianyun thought, "We must let the old lady know why she is in such a mess at Earl Guangyu's Mansion?"
"Princess, don't worry, I will take care of it right away..." Chunhua immediately turned around and left.
The fish food in her hand was almost full. Su Nianyun stood up and moved her waist slightly in the corridor, which immediately caused Grandma Liu to scream again and again.
"Princess, don't do such dangerous actions, it's not good for the child..."
Su Nianyun could only smile, and then said, "I'll go back and take a nap first, and you guys should also go and have a rest. There's going to be an extra show tonight!"
In the evening, the old lady heard that Chen Shaokang was thrown out of Wangyue Tower by the Ding family for plagiarizing other people's poems.
Looking at her second son kneeling on the ground, the old lady was furious.
"No wonder I was treated like that by the Countess today. It turns out it's not because I didn't take Su Nianyun over to suppress the situation, but because of the good thing you did!"
"Mother, don't be angry, I..."
"What are you, you have no chance!"
The old lady was heartbroken, "It's in vain that I'm still trying my best to lure Su Nianyun to Earl Guangyu's Mansion..."
"You have disappointed me so much. Not only can you not handle a woman, you have even made a mess!"
Originally, if Earl Guangyu's family couldn't do it, they could still discuss marriage with other aristocratic families. There were still many options.
Just because Guangyu Earl's Mansion has always been the best choice.
Now, if the second son is known to have plagiarized other people's works, who else can he talk to about marriage?
I'm afraid I won't find the right one anymore, so I have to look lower.
In that case, what significance does marrying someone who comes into the family have to the Chen family?
Thinking of this, the old lady was completely disappointed with her second son.
If her third son were older, she would never put the burden on her second son.
"You go out, I don't want to see you!" The old lady was tired and annoyed, so she waved her hand to let her second son go out.
"Mother!" Chen Shaokang wanted to say something else, but the old lady was adamant.
He had no choice but to stand up and leave.
As soon as they went out, they saw Zhao Ma and Lin Gui standing outside the door. Behind Lin Gui, there was also a tall and thin figure with his head lowered.
"Second Master!" The three of them saluted Lin Gui.
Chen Shaokang then remembered that Zhuangzi had completely cleaned up today, and the old man there had returned home.
He was scolded by his mother and felt very unhappy. He didn't care much about it and passed directly by the three of them.
Seeing Chen Shaokang leaving, Zhao's mother hurriedly went in, "Old madam, Lin Gui and Lin An... are back!"
In Zhuangzi, Chen Shaoan lived as Lin Gui's nephew, but only half a month later, he actually followed him back to his hometown.
When he stepped into the door of his mother's room, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily to his mother.
"My An'er..."
The old lady put aside her dissatisfaction with her second son and cried to Chen Shaoan, "Let me see your hands..."
There was a quick farewell in the temple that day, and more than half a month had passed. The expected kidnapper's counterattack did not happen.
I guess after they collected the money, they naturally stayed away.
Therefore, Zhao Ma said that she would sell Zhuangzi and let the uncle change his appearance and enter the house as Lin Gui's nephew to always be by his side. The old lady immediately agreed.
She caressed her son's left hand distressedly.
The wound on the missing index finger is gradually healing, leaving an ugly scar that is shocking.
After the old lady had seen it, Chen Shaoan calmly wrapped up the severed finger again.
Then he comforted the old lady in turn, "Mom, I'm fine."
He confessed, "It was all my fault in the past. I didn't listen to my mother. This is the lesson I deserve."
"I will stay behind my mother from now on and be filial to my mother to make up for my mistakes!"
