"Brother Li, your good luck is really enviable. I didn't expect that you would be spotted by Shiniang once you came to Qin Pavilion." Zhu Yu had tears in his eyes, holding back the grief in his heart.
I will never play with him again. This guy obviously didn't do anything or say anything along the way. Why do all the beauties like flowers seem to be entangled with him, and no one else can see it?
.
"Brother Li, this is a rare opportunity. What are you doing here? Why don't you go upstairs quickly?" Wang Ping said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment. He didn't care about the guest, but who this Shi Niang was. He had only left the mansion for a day and wandered around Jinling City for half a day. He seemed to be stared at by some eyes, and not even...
Knowing who it was made him feel a little uneasy.
"I'll take this opportunity to ask myself clearly whether a good man like myself can still be afraid of a woman."
As soon as he thought about it, he stopped thinking about mother-in-law and immediately strode towards the second floor.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, a voice stopped him.
Zhu Erdan was a little annoyed and said: "How can you be qualified to be Shiniang's guest? In terms of fame, you are just a scholar, and in terms of talents, you dare not show them. In terms of moral character, I could see you with my own eyes on the street before.
You are so incompetent that you are so incompetent, you are so timid and afraid of getting into trouble, you huddle aside and allow a woman next to you to be bullied by evil people. How can you be allowed to tarnish the good name of Shiniang? If you still have any conscience at all, do it immediately.
Get out of here, or I will never agree."
In his impression, this Li Xiuyuan was a cowardly and incompetent scholar. He looked tall and mighty, but in fact he was a man of wealth and beauty.
He would not allow such a person to be involved with Shiniang, and he had to stand up to protect Shiniang's reputation.
Li Xiuyuan stopped and looked at Zhu Erdan: "Were you talking about me just now?"
"Of course." Zhu Erdan said.
Although the other scholars beside him did not speak at this moment, they were looking forward to it, hoping that Zhu Erdan would act righteously this time and prevent Li Xiuyuan from going upstairs.
"I have no enmity with you, so why do you insult me with open mouth? Do you know that your behavior is like a poisonous snake in the gutter, dirty and vicious, hiding from the light, but can only spit venom indiscriminately in the dark? This is not
This is the behavior a scholar should have. If you want to stop me, why don't you find an upright reason to avoid being so petty."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly. He was not narrow-minded and would not get really angry just because of a few words about scholarly business.
"If there is an injustice in front of me, I will naturally take care of it. Why am I not being upright? How am I like a poisonous snake in the gutter?"
Zhu Erdan slammed the table and said angrily. His tall and burly figure really made the scholar fearful.
However, Li Xiuyuan didn't take it to heart at all.
"Shi Niang took the initiative to invite me. What do I have to do with you when I go upstairs? Is this a fight against injustice? This is obviously nosy. It's okay for me to be insulted by you when you saved the flower girl before. After all, you are kind-hearted to help others. I
I have nothing to say, but now your righteousness has been used in the wrong place. I hope you won't be so messy." Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said.
In his opinion, Zhu Erdan's righteousness and boldness were all purposeful. Perhaps in the eyes of others, he was a good person, but in Li Xiuyuan's opinion, this was not the case.
"What if I don't give in?" Zhu Erdan said angrily when he saw the disdain in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "If that's the case, then it's the same old rules. How dare you fight in Wendu? If I win, not only will you let me go, but you will also apologize to me. If I lose, I will turn around and leave immediately. I will never go here."
Lou, how about it?"
To deal with this verbose scholar, literary fighting is the most effective.
It is both a competition and a contest of talents. As long as I win you, you will have nothing to say.
The provincial ones are here to show off their rhetoric.
"I'm afraid you won't succeed." Zhuerdan said, "I just hope you won't cheat when the time comes."
"Then let's stop talking. Since you want to stop me, you will naturally ask me the questions. I will make a couplet and you will answer it. If you can get it right, I will lose." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes~!"
Zhu Erdan nodded and said with full confidence. He thought this embroidered pillow could have any literary talent, and he didn't know how much the scholar's identity as a businessman's son was.
Li Xiuyuan opened his mouth and said: "Lonely and cold, a widow with an empty window."
You can't send this kind of people away politely, just give them an absolute, let them think it over, and don't give them any chance of hope.
Zhu Erdan felt that he was very talented, so he was about to open his mouth and make Li Xiuyuan retreat on the spot, humiliating him. However, when his mouth moved slightly, his whole body froze.
This, this couple... seems unusual.
Not only is it unusual, it is simply too extraordinary. With his talent, he might be able to come up with a second line in front of him, but it is absolutely impossible to think of it immediately.
"Brother Zhu, this couplet is quite difficult. I thought about it just now, but I found that there is something unusual in it." A scholar next to him shook his head and said. After thinking about it for a while, they knew how difficult this couplet was. It was almost
It is an existence that is impossible to confront in a short period of time.
The reason why I didn't say this was because I was afraid of offending Zhu Erdan.
"You can just shout when you come out, and I'll come down immediately without any hesitation." Li Xiuyuan ignored the annoying Zhu Erdan and immediately strode towards the second floor.
Zhu Erdan wanted to stop him but didn't speak again. His expression changed uncertainly, and he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.
It's hateful, it's hateful, I don't have enough thought. If I could think of this couplet right away, how could I let Li Xiuyuan go upstairs and enter Shiniang's private room today, leaving the two of them alone in a room?
"Tsk, tsk, Brother Li's couplet is so cruel. I heard a couplet from him last time when I was in Guo Beicheng. It seemed to be called Yansuo Pondliu. The candidates in Guo Beicheng scratched their heads and had trouble sleeping all night with this pair of couplets. Now,
This is a repeat of the same old trick."
Zhu Yu laughed. He had also heard of Li Xiuyuan's absolute reputation when he was in Guo Beicheng.
So far, no news has been released that anyone is right.
"What? There is also a couplet with Li Xiuyuan about cigarettes locking willows in a pond?" The scholar who heard nearby was shocked when he heard this.
This couplet is more difficult to correct. It seems simple, but it also contains mysteries.
After tasting it carefully, many people looked at Zhu Erdan with sympathy.
You are hitting his hand. Even though Li Xiuyuan is impervious to leaks, he should not be underestimated.
Someone immediately sighed: "What the immortal said before is indeed correct. The most talented among us is Li Xiuyuan. It can be seen from his two couplets that his talent is beyond our reach.
The reason why he interrupted Fuji and drove away the immortal was just to hide his clumsiness, because only ghosts and gods know what he is capable of."
Hearing this, Zhu Erdan's face became even more ugly.
