Mu Lingxiao's appearance inexplicably gave the originally joyful atmosphere a layer of chill.
The military ranks of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Four Expeditions General and the Four Town Generals are second only to the Great General, the Hussars General, the Chariot General and the Four Directions Generals.
Even these aristocratic families who have always despised warriors did not dare to make mistakes when faced with Mu Lingxiao.
This man has a bravery that no man can match. He is only thirty years old and has already been awarded the title of General of the Northern Campaign. He is truly a leader in the military!
Duanmu Yuncheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Mu would be so interested in collecting poems."
Everyone's eyes then moved to the poem in Mu Lingxiao's hand.
“When a crane flies over the clouds in a clear sky, it brings poetry to the blue sky... What a poem!”
For a while, cheers came and went.
Duanmu Yuncheng exclaimed: "What a perfect match! It turns out that Brother Mu has been hiding it all!"
Mu Lingxiao's voice was like a bell, interrupting everyone's praise: "This poem must be a perfect match!"
Duanmu Yunqing smiled and said: "My brother and Brother Mu collaborated on this poem, which will surely be remembered for generations to come!"
Mu Lingxiao's bold laughter sounded again in the yard: "Do you know why this next sentence is a perfect match for the previous sentence?"
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Mu Qinxue looked innocent.
Mu Lingxiao said in a deep voice: "Because the upper and lower sentences of this poem come from the same origin. The upper sentence was not written by him at Duanmu Yuncheng at all!"
The whole place was in an uproar!
Duanmu Yuncheng sweated on his forehead and said with a smile: "Brother Mu can't spit on anyone, you have to provide evidence."
Mu Lingxiao said: "The evidence is that my friend was at the lake that day. When he met him and recited a poem, he asked him to complete the poem! The source of the poem was on the shore, and you, Duanmu Yuncheng, were clearly in the lake at that time!"
"By the lake!" Everyone suddenly remembered something.
Indeed, the first half of the sentence was heard from the shore that day, causing a round of applause.
Mu Lingxiao stared at Duanmu Yuncheng coldly and said sarcastically: "Duanmu Yuncheng, who gave you the confidence to take it for yourself? Why don't you send someone to find the real owner first?"
Duanmu Yuncheng's face turned blue and white, and he was extremely worried.
In fact, he sent people to the shore to ask, but no one knew who was reciting the poem.
Considering that the other party was just dictating, he felt free to use it to please Mu Qinxue.
He was actually bumped into by Mu Lingxiao?
"Brother Mu, you can't talk nonsense, the real person is Brother Duanmu!" Nangong Ning was also anxious and winked at Mu Qinxue frequently, but the latter looked innocent.
Mu Lingxiao glanced at Nangong Ning coldly and said, "The real owner? The real owner is your former fiancé, Liang Xiao! But he just broke off the engagement with your father!"
"What? Liang Xiao? Impossible!"
Mu Lingxiao's words were like thunder on the ground, shocking Nangong Ning at a loss.
"Is it that uneducated and prodigal young man, Liang Xiao? Impossible!" People familiar with the situation were shocked.
Several people began to appreciate Liang Xiao's calligraphy again, and couldn't help but admire: "He actually writes well."
"Not only that, he also wrote the second couplet of my sister's "Three Lights, Sun, Moon and Stars". The second couplet is: Four Poems of Elegance!"
Four poems of elegance!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the whole audience was filled with admiration as they suddenly understood.
"'Ya' is divided into 'Daya' and 'Xiaoya', it's absolutely true! Is this person really an ignorant and evil young man?"
"Ah? He was the one who came out? It's really unbelievable..." Mu Qinxue looked "shocked".
The Duanmu brothers looked at each other and were at a loss for a moment: "Are you still writing the second couplet?"
If Duanmu Yuncheng refused to admit it just now, the matter of "Autumn Poems" might still get away with it.
But Liang Xiao even got it right, which greatly enhanced the credibility of Mu Lingxiao's testimony!
Mu Qinxue wiped away the tears she had squeezed out at some point, and said sadly: "Mr. Duanmu, you disappoint me so much..."
Duanmu Yuncheng blushed and was at a loss for a moment.
"Wait a minute, he asked my father to break off the engagement?" Nangong Ning said again in a loss of voice.
"That's right! I just saw it with my own eyes!" Mu Lingxiao said impatiently.
"That's too much! I'm going to find my father!"
Nangong Ning was furious, turned around and ran away.
"Ning Ning!"
The two Duanmu brothers took the opportunity to catch up and fled the scene.
The poetry meeting ended hastily.
In the yard, Mu Qinxue kept applauding, laughing so hard that her eyes almost narrowed into slits.
Mu Lingxiao praised: "Your fiancé Liang Xiao is indeed very secretive, and you can be regarded as a talented man and a beautiful woman. I think those rumors are mostly released by the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
"I knew Sister Yunxiu wouldn't lie to me!" Mu Qinxue looked happy, and then reminded, "However, he is powerless now. Brother has exposed him. You must be more responsible for him in the future.
oh."
Mu Lingxiao shook his head repeatedly: "No, eldest brother is already giving you a lot of face by acting with you, how can you waste your time on a scholar like him! He is your fiancé, not mine!"
Hearing this, Mu Qinxue casually took out a stick leaning against the rockery.
"Crack!"
Using only her thumb, Mu Qinxue broke the stick, which was nearly as thick as her thumb, with one hand.
Mu Lingxiao threw a tantrum and ran away.
"Okay! Big brother is voluntary and not forced at all. Just take care of him more in the future..."
After Liang Xiao settled Grandma and Jiang Fuxue, he took three hundred taels of silver notes to the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce and found the shopkeeper.
"Is there any new sugar cane for sale recently?"
The shopkeeper who was checking the accounts looked up and saw Liang Xiao and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Liang. The sugar cane has been sold out. This thing is a hot commodity!"
"The next batch of goods will arrive in five days, right?" Liang Xiao asked again.
Sugarcane cultivation has been promoted in Dazhou, but it is expensive and often monopolized by big merchants.
Because sugar cane can be used to make a precious sugar, stone honey, the price of which is even higher than that of caramel.
"That's right, but I can't make the decision. Whether I sell it to you or not depends on our young master's wishes!" the shopkeeper replied.
Liang Xiao frowned: "Master? Where is your master?"
The shopkeeper said: "You don't know, Master, he was killed in the North a few months ago, and now our young master is in charge of the family. Do you want to talk to him?"
Liang Xiao was thoughtful.
Bai He, the young master of the Bai family, is a well-known profiteer, even worse than his father.
However, the Bai family's sugar cane is of the best quality, and Liang Xiao does not want to give up easily.
In the backyard of the Bai family, Fatty Bai He and his relatives and friends mourned the death of the owner of the family, Bai Jiang.
Bai He cried heartbrokenly.
"Dad! The barbarians are irreconcilable for killing their father! It's just that the barbarians are fierce and the Great Zhou Dynasty is weak. Even if the child wants to take revenge, there is really nothing he can do! But if he can't avenge you, the child is not worthy of being your son. There is no chance in this life.
What face stands between heaven and earth!!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel sad when they heard Bai He's wail.
Unexpectedly, Bai He took a pair of scissors, cut off a strand of his hair, and placed it in front of the memorial tablet.
"From now on, I will sever the father-son relationship with you. I will take revenge on you in the next life!"
The crying at the scene stopped suddenly.
Bai He wiped his tears, regained his composure, and urged: "Come on, come on, take back the sacrifices. Eat and drink when you should!"
Liang Xiao, who was waiting outside, could not help but be secretly surprised when he heard Bai He's words with his extraordinary hearing.
He had long heard that the Bai family and his son were at odds, but Bai He's behavior was unexpected.
This is a profiteer who can even sever the relationship between father and son.
The shopkeeper walked in and whispered to Bai He: "Master, Liang Xiao is here to give money again!"
