Li Xiuyuan, who had just sat down to rest, kept his gaze on Wang Tong, the butler of the Chu family not far away.
The main reason why he was invited to come here for hunting this time was to avenge Wei Hu. Unless such a bully was eliminated, the anger in his heart would be difficult to quell.
"Find an opportunity to release Wei Hu. He has now become Lord Montenegro. If he appears now, Wei Hu will definitely die... But..." Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Chu Tian,
Mr. Chu.
"But do the Chu family really plan to use this hunting opportunity to deal with me?"
If this matter is true, then he will naturally fight back without hesitation, but at the moment the matter is not confirmed, everything is just his own conjecture.
"Let's find a chance to give them a try." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
But at this time, when his eyes moved, he saw many fellow scholars and several beautiful girls walking towards him in groups.
The leader was Ye Huaian and the ordinary-looking scholar.
"Trouble is coming." Li Xiuyuan just glanced at it and frowned slightly.
These scholars are narrow-minded and want to save face. Their morals are really worrying. I guess they were offended by what happened last time. They are so angry that they can't calm down. Now they want to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
"Brother Li." After the scholars arrived, they first bowed.
Li Xiuyuan also returned the gift out of politeness.
One of the scholars smiled and said, "Brother Li, the absolute look you left behind when we said goodbye last time has made us think hard and scratch our heads these past few days, but we still can't say sorry. Today, we will definitely think about it when we meet Brother Li again."
Brother Li is asking for advice again. I am asking for advice. I hope that Brother Li can clear up the doubts I had last time. I also ask Brother Li if he can correct the second couplet, so as to save me the pain of waiting for a long time."
"Oh, are you talking about that pair, Yansuo Pondliu?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Exactly."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Making pairs is a pastime and entertainment. Why should you care about whether a pair comes out right or not? Moreover, in the imperial examination, there is no test about pairs. You guys should not worry about what happened last time."
Keep it in mind."
"Brother Li, if you say this, could it be that this couple can't forgive themselves?"
Ye Huai'an looked at him and said: "If that's the case, you have to apologize to us. You don't know where you found it to entertain us. This is your fault."
"That's right, that's right." said the plain-looking scholar next to him.
Several other scholars also felt that Li Xiuyuan was unjust and should apologize.
"Ha ha."
Li Xiuyuan suddenly laughed: "You are so funny. You can't stand up to each other, but in the end it becomes my fault. I have to apologize to you? What kind of truth is this? It's just a shallow learning.
, I didn’t expect that you are not even virtuous. I am really ashamed to be in your company. Don’t mention me to others when you go out from now on. I really can’t afford to embarrass this person."
"Li Xiuyuan, do you dare to insult me?"
Ye Huaian had a grudge against Li Xiuyuan, and when he heard this, he became furious.
"I didn't humiliate you, I just humiliated myself." Li Xiuyuan said lightly.
He was also disgusted with this Ye Huaian, who almost molested Qingmei in Lanruo Temple. If he hadn't arrived in time, who knows what would have happened.
"I, Ye Huaian, have read poetry and books since I was a child. I was admitted as a boy student at the age of fourteen, and now I am admitted as a scholar at the age of sixteen. You, a businessman's son, actually call me mediocre?" Ye Huaian said angrily.
"It makes me think that you are the only one here who is a child. Stop bragging. If you are not a mediocre person, why not show me my first couplet. If you are right, I will apologize to you. If you are right, I will apologize to you."
If you don't come out, don't talk about me amusing you with this couplet. I'm very busy every day, and I don't have that much free time to make a couplet to entertain you."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
Ye Huaian was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. This couplet was absolute. How could he be right about it? At this moment, he really wanted to be inspired to say this absolute, so that this hateful businessman would apologize on the spot. He had nothing to say.
"Young gentlemen, it is a good thing to go out to the city for fun today. Why bother getting upset over such a trivial matter? Young gentlemen, please step back and don't get entangled in this matter." The woman named Luoxia
He walked out and said softly.
A scholar next to him also advised: "What Miss Luoxia said is that this person is mediocre in appearance. Why should Brother Ye care about him?"
Ordinary appearance again?
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the scholar: Can you stop hypnotizing yourself? There is no one here who doesn't look better than you.
Ye Huaian didn't appreciate it at this moment, but said aggressively: "Li Xiuyuan, let me ask you, is this couplet really written by you?"
"Does this matter?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Ye Huaian laughed angrily: "If you did it, then if you have the first couplet, you should also have the second couplet. In front of all your friends today, why don't you personally read the second couplet so that we can be convinced."
"Why should I convince you? You asked me to write the first couplet that day, but now you can't say it, but you are angry with me. You don't know how to reflect on it. Now you want me to write the second couplet to convince you. You are really
Unwise and rude." Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said.
"Brother Ye, I have told you that this person is cunning and arrogant. If you don't believe it, you have seen it today. Not only does this person have an average appearance, he also has little talent and knowledge. I don't know where he got a couplet that I can't match, but he is
It’s really boring to shirk things in every possible way.”
"What I'm saying is, we'd better not associate with such people. His talent will definitely make him a failure in this academy examination. When the list is released, it will be clear who is right and who is wrong."
"Let's go, let's go, let's go over there and recite poems, and we won't sit with such vulgar people."
These scholars were also very disgusted with Li Xiuyuan. If you said something to me, the group of people would angrily swing their sleeves and turn around to leave.
After all, what Li Xiuyuan said just now not only scolded Ye Huaian, but also brought them scholars into it.
Ye Huaian was holding back his anger. If he hadn't seen Li Xiuyuan surrounded by ten strong guards, he would have rushed up and started a fight with him, just to vent his anger.
"In the picture, the dragon does not roar and the tiger does not roar, and the little scholar is ridiculous."
At this time, Li Xiuyuan's voice came from behind, and another pair appeared.
He cursed someone, got angry, and wanted to leave. He really thought that he was a punching bag for these scholars. He came and left whenever he wanted. He was not a person without a temper. He had to scold him back today.
Upon hearing this couple, Ye Huaian and others who were really ready to leave suddenly stopped, turned around and said.
"Li Xiuyuan, who are you scolding?" Ye Huaian said angrily.
Li Xiuyuan smiled calmly and said: "I'm not scolding anyone, I just suddenly thought of a good match and wanted to see if you guys are right."
"I, I, I'm right..."
Ye Huaian's face suddenly turned red, he was so angry that he wanted to yell back, but he was originally quite talented, but now he was so angry that he couldn't hold back a single word.
This couplet is not difficult to correct, the difficulty lies in how to respond logically.
If you can't retaliate, even if you do confront someone, you will still be inferior to others.
Several other scholars opened their mouths to speak out, but all of them fell silent again, and all their words stopped at the edge of their mouths.
"Can't I get it right? Do I have to guess the second couplet myself? If that's the case, then what's the fun in playing pairs? If I randomly throw out a pair, you're all speechless. To be honest, I'm in a dilemma too.
, I don’t know your level, what couplets will come out right, and what couplets will come out right.”
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a helpless look.
Seeing his appearance, several scholars including Ye Huaian were so angry that they wanted to roll up their sleeves and beat this man violently.
"In the lunar calendar, the sun has no light and the moon has no shadow. The long years are unbearable."
At this time, the woman named Luoxia moved her red lips slightly and said, "Mr. Li, is this couple from the slave family pretty neat?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Although there are some flaws, it is barely a match. The girl is much better than those scholars."
"What, Mr. Li is so ridiculous. I still can't think of Mr. Li's previous couplet of smoking and locking willows in the pond." Luoxia said: "May I ask what the second couplet of Mr. Li is? Can you tell me?
slave family."
"When others ask me, I won't tell you. This is what I use specifically to deal with those masters of pairs. But if a beautiful lady invites you, how can I not obey? This second line is not difficult. My second line is Tao Ran.
Jinjiang Embankment." Li Xiuyuan said.
Peach burning Jinjiang embankment?
The woman named Luoxia recited it once, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. She felt that it was extremely neat, and it also contained gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
The scholars who had not left were still thinking about the previous couplet, but when they heard the absolute second couplet, they froze in place. Some of the scholars who were still a little ashamed suddenly turned red.
Got up.
Li Xiuyuan was still talking about this look that he found from nowhere to amuse himself and others, but he didn't expect that someone else turned around and came out.
This slap on the face is really shameless.
Ye Huaian was also dumbfounded. He had never thought that Li Xiuyuan could defeat this pair before.
But now, now...
Feeling ashamed and angry, Ye Huaian closed his eyes, his head was spinning, he fainted, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Brother Ye, how are you?"
"No, Brother Ye fainted."
The scholar next to him was shocked when he saw this.
"It's probably heatstroke. Don't be nervous. Just find someone to do the gua sha." Li Xiuyuan said.
"What's the matter with heat stroke? I obviously fainted because of your anger."
Several other scholars, seeing Li Xiuyuan's nonchalant look, wanted to speak out, but stopped themselves.
His face was still burning, and it was really hard to say anything.
"Everyone, hurry up and get out of the way. The hounds are going crazy and are heading towards you. Everyone, get out of the way. Be careful not to be hurt by the hounds."
But at this moment, the anxious voice of Mr. Chu Tianchu sounded, and he shouted hurriedly from a distance.
But I saw several strong vicious dogs, rushing toward everyone like crazy. Looking at their ferocious looks, they were afraid they were going to bite people.
