"It's just a joke, nothing serious! This is what the senior brothers asked me to do!" Gu Chengyu said modestly, and then picked up the wine glass on the table.
Hua Lian then looked at her with resentment. How could Mr. Gu not understand the charm? Is there really a man like Liu Xiahui in the world?
Hua Lian looked confused, but then shook her head and smiled mockingly. Such a person shouldn't be what he thought of, right?
"Now that the winner has been decided, Brother Yu must fulfill your promise. Furthermore, the couplets between the two of them must be posted on the toilets of Shiliting Pavilion and Tianxiang Pavilion respectively."
This was all agreed upon before, and naturally no one had any objections.
It was at this moment that the poems that had been taken outside came to fruition.
"This first place has already resulted, and it's in my hands." Huang Junheng raised the paper in his hand, deliberately showing off.
"Brother Huang, read it out quickly! Everyone has been waiting for two hours." Yan Huan eagerly wanted to know whether Gu Chengyu was the first, because he had great confidence in Gu Chengyu.
Huang Junheng opened the folded paper and took a look, "The first place is indeed Gu Jieyuan!"
In fact, this had been expected by him. As for Min Feng, who had been severely beaten just now, he was surprisingly calm when he heard the news.
Yu Tinghao stood up, "This is impossible!"
He invited three of his father's staff to discuss and compose the poem. How could it be possible that he still couldn't compete with Gu Chengyu?
Those three staff members were already qualified, but they just failed in the examination. Could it be that the three of them were no match for one Gu Chengyu?
However, he ignored the fact that Gu Chengyu was the candidate for the provincial examination. And these three people did become his father's aides because they failed to pass the examination.
Yu Ting scolded the three people in his heart and looked very ugly. He lost his chance today and had to think of a way next time. He didn't expect that Gu Chengyu would cut off his beard this time. It was really disgusting.
Since he had missed the opportunity, Yu Ting stood up and walked away. Seeing this, Yang Haomiao and others quickly followed.
"Hey? Brother Yu, are you willing to admit defeat? What was your previous promise?" Huang Junheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Yu Ting wouldn't be so unlucky to lose, right?
Only then did Yu Ting remember the promise he had just made. It was also because he thought he had a great chance of winning and was in a good mood. He came up with that idea. Now that he thought about it, this was a really bad idea.
His daily monthly income is only twenty taels of silver, four hundred taels! How long does he have to save?
He does have some, but he just got it this morning through hard work with his grandmother. His monthly money is not enough every month, so naturally he has no money to save.
Gu Chengyu wanted to forget it, he didn't want to have sex with these girls.
But then I thought about it, Yu Ting was getting an advantage, if he could get money and treat guests, why not?
"Indeed! And what Miss Xiyan promised must be fulfilled. Gu Jieyuan is lucky today! He is really envious of others."
Yan Huan was very envious of Gu Chengyu. He could see the beauty of the courtesan and find a beauty to relieve his boredom. All the students here were very envious.
Yu Ting was furious, knowing that he would not be able to survive without bleeding today. He had no choice but to bear the pain and slap the money in his arms on the table, "I will keep my word."
Then, he glanced at Gu Chengyu and said, "Gu Jieyuan, please take it easy. Maybe your small body can handle it? You don't have to be exhausted and come to the house to trick me again."
These words are already very offensive. Does this imply that Gu Chengyu is no good? Can a man be said to be no good? Anyone would be angry, right?
Gu Chengyu was not polite, stepped forward and took the three hundred taels of silver, "I don't need to bother you anymore, brother, tsk tsk!"
Gu Chengyu deliberately picked up the three hundred taels of silver and turned it over.
He turned around and said to everyone: "I would like to invite you all to drink today. Three hundred taels is not enough. We still have it here. Let's all have a good time."
Gu Chengyu took out another five hundred taels from his purse and slapped them on the table together.
Yu Ting was so angry at Gu Chengyu. Was it because he had too little money? Gu Chengyu called him very stingy.
He took a deep breath, glanced at Gu Chengyu, and thought, let's wait and see.
Then he strode out. Gu Chengyu looked like he was running away.
Zhu Pang also shouted from behind Yu Ting: "Yu Ting, are you leaving now? Chengyu is treating guests, so you won't stay for a drink?"
Seeing that Yu Ting was deflated, he was very happy and couldn't help calling out. However, he still sighed in his heart that Gu Chengyu really had money, so he took the five hundred taels as soon as he asked.
Huang Junheng was naturally happy when he saw someone treating him. But when he saw Gu Chengyu rejecting the girl from Tianxiang Pavilion, he was also a little impressed. How many people can sit still in their arms since ancient times?
He had just seen that Gu Chengyu was avoiding the girl next to him. No matter what Gu Chengyu thought, it was already very difficult to refuse.
Hua Lian's eyes were full of disappointment. She originally wanted to give her first night to Gu Jieyuan. But Gu Jieyuan refused. Who knows who she will meet in the future?
Maybe he is a businessman with a fat head, or maybe he is a powerful man over fifty years old. In short, it is rare to meet Gu Lang again.
But Xiyan's eyes burst out with dazzling light. Does Gu Chengyu look down on girls from brothels, or is this his nature?
The students present toasted to Gu Chengyu one after another. Since Gu Chengyu is so generous, he is soft-spoken and short-handed.
By the time everyone had finished drinking, it was already You hour, and Ming Mo had already been waiting a little impatiently.
This room is the room where the servants are waiting for their master. There are still about ten boys sitting in it, some of them have just arrived, and some of them, like Ming Mo, have been waiting for almost a day.
The outside has begun to become lively, and the singing of warblers and swallows can be heard. Mingmo stood up, planning to go outside to explore.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a girl in gorgeous clothes with half-revealed shoulders, being hugged by a man, and the two of them entered the room teasingly.
Ming Mo blushed, this was so embarrassing.
"Hey! Is this your first time here? I see you've been here for a long time. How long has your master been here?" This follower seemed to come here often, and his tone was very familiar.
Gu Chengyu was surrounded by Huang Junheng and others and pushed into Xiyan's gauze curtain. Then, everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Gu Chengyu only treats guests to drinks, but will not invite them to find girls. Since he invited a girl to accompany him, the money must be a lot. Gu Chengyu estimated that eight hundred taels should be enough.
Hua Lian followed the girls out in despair. Looking at Gu Chengyu who was pushed in, tears filled her eyes.
After being pushed into the gauze curtain, Gu Chengyu came face to face with a pair of full eyes. He cursed in his heart, these people were so idle.
However, he also happened to want to ask for advice on piano skills, so he might as well sit down and listen to the music.
Gu Chengyu sat down on the cushion, and Xiyan also sat in front of the piano table. She took a deep breath, and suddenly she felt less confident about her appearance, and she didn't know if her appearance was in line with Mr. Gu's liking.
She glanced at Gu Chengyu and saw that he had just sat down. She put her hands on the veil and prepared to take it off.
