Sai Jiangnan is also relatively well-known in Yangzhou, but her specific identity has always been a mystery, and it is not known how she got related to Princess Jiaqian. But it seems that they have a good relationship.
Looking at their expressions, it seems that the bet is not a child's play. If Princess Jiaqian is serious about it, and there is no one here who can control the princess, I'm afraid a competition will be inevitable.
But let a little-known Xia Shang compete with the most talented woman from the capital...
"Jiaqian, stop fooling around."
Miss Feng reminded her in a low voice.
But Jiaqian didn't buy it. Although the other party was a teacher, he obviously didn't have Xia Shang's methods and couldn't make the students completely submissive.
"Sir, you must prove it this time! In order to prevent Jiangnan from being deceived by this fame-seeking person, let her know who the real talented person is in the world. Oh, by the way!"
Jiaqian's voice broke off, "Jiangnan, I haven't introduced my husband to you yet! My husband is amazing. Ke Xiaofeng, the most talented woman in the capital, is famous all over the world. She is also known as Shixian, Ke Xianzi, Sanbu.
It was written into poems and written in ten steps. Countless masterpieces have been circulated in the capital, and many of them have been included in historical books. Even Grandpa Huang is very fond of my husband. How can the unknown people around you compare with him?"
How could Jiangnan be convinced? He immediately retorted: "What's the point of talking about Kung Fu? Your husband is more famous than my husband? To tell you the truth, my husband is the real author of "Dream of Red Mansions"! Who in Jiangnan area doesn't know "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
"What?"
Suddenly there were bursts of exclamations in the pavilion. They all looked at Xia Shang in disbelief. They thought that the famous "Dream of Red Mansions" was written by this young man?
It’s really incredible!
Anyone from Yangzhou will be familiar with "Dream of Red Mansions". As long as they have a basic understanding of the article, they will be able to feel from the text that the author must be an individual who understands all kinds of people's thoughts and has experienced many big and bad things. Otherwise, he would not be able to write such an obscure story.
Human nature.
Judging from the text, the author should be an older man, but I didn't expect him to be as young as Xia Shang.
As soon as Jiang Nan's words came out, no one believed them yet.
Luo Xiaofeng's expression was indifferent: "I have long heard that there is a book in Yangzhou called "Dream of Red Mansions", which is popular in the Jiangnan area and makes many young men and women fascinated. During this trip to Yangzhou, I originally wanted to see the elegance of "Dream of Red Mansions", but
It's a pity that I'm short of time and haven't watched it yet. I don't want to meet the author today."
"Having said so much, Jiangnan, does your husband dare to compete?"
Jiang Nan thrust into his small waist: "Why don't you dare?!"
Luo Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said to Xia Shang: "Young Master is surprised. You and I are both literati, and we shouldn't be competitive. But Princess Jiaqian insists on asking, and you don't know what Young Master means?"
Xia Shang handed over his hand: "Xia is not a competitive person, but he is a layman who protects his calf. If the student is so serious, the teacher must help her."
Jiang Nan pouted after hearing this, but he was very happy in his heart: "Who is your little kid? Humph!"
Princess Jiaqian was also happy, waving her hands and applauding: "In that case, let's compete quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another person interrupted, but it turned out that person was Ouyang Changhao.
"Princess, wait a minute! Ke Xianzi is the most extraordinary woman in the capital, and her status is not trivial. This Xia Shang is just a mediocre person. Regardless of whether he wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions", why should a booksmith compete with Ke Xianzi? Even so?
Which one will get you, me or Mr. Su?"
After saying this, he looked at Xia Shang with disdain.
Xia Shang asked: "How can I be considered qualified?"
"Get through me first!"
"That's not easy. I asked Mr. Ouyang to guess a simple riddle and he guessed it correctly. I'm convinced."
"Guessing riddles is such a child's play? Just come up with the questions!"
Xia Shang smiled mysteriously: "Before setting the question, I need to be prepared by the young master."
"How to cooperate?"
"It's simple, just follow my instructions."
Xia Shang asked Ouyang Changhao to come to the middle: "Squat down."
Ouyang Changhao was stunned, wondering what Xia Shang was up to, and crouched down with a sneer.
"stand up."
Ouyang Changhao stood up as instructed.
"Squat down again."
"Get up again."
This time Ouyang Changhao was a little upset: "What the hell are you doing?"
"Okay, guess a two-letter Chinese medicine name."
Squat down, squat down.
A two-letter Chinese medicine name?
Ouyang Changhao laughed: "Haha, what's so difficult about this? The answer to the mystery is ginseng (Panax ginseng)."
Before the laughter fell, even bigger laughter came.
"Hahaha, no, no, brother Ouyang, you are wrong. This is wolfberry!"
"Hahaha!"
When Xia Shang said this, the whole hall laughed.
Princess Jiaqian held her stomach for fear that Ouyang Changhao might not understand, and added: "Hahahaha, he called you a dog!"
"you you you you!!!"
Ouyang Changhao came back to his senses, his face turned red to the soles of his feet, and his whole body was on fire. His pink and tender face was burned to the color of pig liver. In his twenty years of life, he had never been so humiliated.
TM solved the problem seriously, but it turned out that it was a trap from the beginning and he was played ruthlessly.
This feeling is like being stripped naked and dancing. There are countless people outside watching it, but I only know it after the fact.
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others! The person named Xia... I... I, I, I..."
Ouyang Changhao's front teeth are almost broken. There are not many people who can make a scholar so anxious that he wants to take action.
Xia Shangfeng was calm, he smiled, and saluted again: "Sorry, sorry, Brother Ouyang, it was just a game. He is indeed a villain, don't blame me. I think with Brother Ouyang's magnanimity, he shouldn't mind.
?”
"you……"
Without waiting for Ouyang Changhao to speak, Xia Shang bowed deeply: "Brother Ouyang is generous! Brother Ouyang is humble! Forgive me for being small!"
puff!
Ouyang Changhao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. It's okay if you don't apologize. This apology makes you feel like a bitch who was abused. Is it useful to say sorry afterward?
This time Ouyang Changhao finally experienced what it felt like to feel "as uncomfortable as eating shit".
"Do you think you can get away with just making jokes? If you want to challenge Xianzi Ke, you must be able to represent all the talented people in Yangzhou. Your knowledge must convince us. Your previous policy was just rhetoric, but Xianzi Ke came up with the question "Jiangshan"
', If you can come up with a poem that convinces me, then you are qualified."
Ke Xiaofeng has a great reputation and rarely comes to Yangzhou. Everyone wants to seize this opportunity to compete, even Su Heng is eager to try.
"Xianzi Ke is so famous that if you can teach me today, you will really need someone who can represent the talents of Yangzhou. Mr. Xia, please write a poem. If I am convinced, I will quit!"
Since he stood in front of everyone today, Xia Shang never thought of ending in a low-key manner. Didn't he just write a song with the theme of Jiangshan?
How simple!
"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north. The dragon curls up, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost. The heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River. Who can resist in twenty years..." (To be continued)
