Luo Ning's smile was like a flower. She looked completely different from the bitter expression she had before.
Lin Wanrong saw that she had returned to her lively appearance, and secretly laughed in his heart, why do girls like to talk to me? Grand Mistress is like this, Luo Ning is also like this, if I don't work in the Xiao Family in the future, I will open a psychology clinic, specializing in diagnosing women's mental problems, hehe.
Luo Ning suddenly stretched out her small hand, put it on his hand and said, "Big Brother Lin, can you feel it, am I different from before?" Her small hand was warm and soft, and seemed to be slightly trembling.
Lin Wanrong's heart swayed, this girl is not simple, she learned to take advantage of me so quickly.
Luo Ning's heart was pure, although her small hand was slightly trembling, there was no trace of lust. Lin Wanrong inadvertently touched her small hand, it felt smooth like cream. This girl's small hand is really soft, I don't know what it will be in the future. He sighed in his heart, pulled Luo Ning's hand, and pretended to be holy and pure, "Miss Luo, under my radiance, you have obtained a new life, I bless you, next we will have a pure hug."
Luo Ning giggled, her feet flew, but after a few steps, she suddenly turned back and said with a smile, "Big Brother Lin, although you are a little bad, but I really like talking to you." After she finished, she chuckled and flew away, leaving only Lin Wanrong standing there alone.
You are happy, but I am depressed, I spent so much time to enlighten a young miss, but I did not get any benefits, today's business is a big loss.
The flowers in the garden were already withered, Lin Wanrong picked up a small petal, gently pinched it, thinking of what Luo Ning said just now, his heart was confused, hazy. He did not know what this girl wanted to do, he felt like he was played.
Lin Wanrong was unhappy. He strolled back to the hall and saw that Luo Ning was already standing beside the old lady, smiling at him.
When the Grand Mistress saw him come back, she asked softly, "Where did you go just now? I searched for you several times, but I couldn't find you. "
Lin Wanrong was in a daze after being hit by Luo Ning. He looked at her and said, "I'm going to pee. I guess Grand Mistress didn't find the right toilet."
The Grand Mistress spat lightly, blushing. She rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything else.
At this time, Lomin had already invited Zhao Kangning to sit on the main seat. She said with a smile, "Young Prince, your presence at my humble abode brings light to my humble dwelling. Lomin is very grateful. "
Zhao Kangning smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. Lord Luo was being too humble. Royal Father often mentioned in front of me that Lord Luo was in charge of Jiangsu Province, diligent and loved the people. Everyone praised you. He even told me to ask Lord for advice. "
"Thank you for your praise. This old man is ashamed." Lomin said humbly.
Zhao Kangning looked around and suddenly said with a smile, "That's right, Lord Luo, just now when I was outside the residence, I heard cheers from inside the residence. I don't know what they were playing. This little prince is very curious. "
Lomin said with a smile, "Just now? It was my mother who came up with a few couplets. All the young talents were comparing couplets and playing very happily. "
"Comparing couplets?" Zhao Kangning seemed to be interested and said with a smile, "This little prince also likes this very much. I even have a couplet expert with me. Since the old man is in a good mood today, why don't this little prince make a fool of himself and let this master compare notes with all the talents. What does everyone think?"
Everyone saw that the young prince also liked couplets and immediately cheered. Lomin hesitated in her heart, but seeing that everyone was in a good mood, she didn't say anything to stop them.
Zhao Kangning said with a smile, "Since it's a couplet competition, then there must be some stakes. How about this, if this little prince loses, Kangning will present Mister Xu Wenzhang's' Wind and Snow Return '. If Lord Luo's side is unfortunately defeated, this little prince also wants to take a stake — "
Zhao Kangning seemed to intentionally or unintentionally look at Luo Ning who had just returned to the living room and said with a smile, "Then Miss Luo, please accept this' Lady Painting 'that this little prince made three years ago. What does Lord Luo think? "
This condition sounded like this little prince would lose no matter what and have to give away a painting, but the reality was not like that. Luo Ning had already clearly rejected the little prince. Zhao Kangning found this opportunity to bet on couplets and wanted to give away this painting again, which was already making things difficult for him. Luo Ning gave a silent snort and didn't say anything.
Xu Wei's paintings were hard to buy even with a thousand taels of gold. When the people in the hall saw that Ning Wang Ye wanted to give Xu Wei's' Wind and Snow Return ', they instantly became interested and cheered even louder. Lin Wanrong remembered that he still had old man Xu's' West Lake Misty Rain 'in his hands. Because it was a new work, it even had Xu Wei's seal on it. It was probably more valuable than that' Wind and Snow Return '.
Lomin felt a bit awkward. Zhao Kangning said that they were playing couplets, but in reality, it was a competition. If they lost in this couplet competition, they would lose face for her daughter.
Zhao Kangning waved his hand and from the attendants behind him, a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar walked out. He was wearing white. The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said, "This one is Shen Banshan, the Zongbiaobazi of the Seven Provinces Book Friends Alliance."
What the heck, Zongbiaobazi? Seven Provinces Book Friends Alliance? What kind of organization was this? Could it be a good robber?
Grand Mistress saw Lin San stare at each other and knew that he didn't know who this Shen Banshan was. She said in a light voice, "The Seven Provinces Book Friends Alliance is an organization formed by the scholars of the north before they passed the imperial examinations. It is a large organization. In every imperial examination, as long as the scholar is from the north, he must be from the Seven Provinces Book Friends Alliance. So it is called the Zhuangyuan Alliance. This Shen Banshan is the leader of the Zhuangyuan Alliance. Even though he is only a scholar and has not passed the imperial examinations for many years, he is called the king of couplets and is famous in the north and south. His couplet skills are the best in the world. "
What Seven Provinces Book Friends, Zongbiaobazi, to put it bluntly, wasn't it just the student council? It was even the high school student council. Damn, the name of the bandit was like robbing.
Shen Banshan bowed to the people around him and said proudly, "This student is Shen Banshan, representing the scholars of the seven provinces in the north, to greet my colleagues from the south. Today's sparring session is not limited to the number of participants. As long as you can match it, you can answer. "
This Shen Banshan was an arrogant person. With just one sentence, he had provoked the southern scholar. Hou Yuebai, who had just suffered a setback, stood up in anger and said, "I am Jinling's Hou Yuebai. Greetings Mister Shen. Please enlighten me, Mister Shen. "
Shen Banshan nodded his head slightly and said, "Greetings Brother Hou. I wonder if Brother Hou has passed the imperial examinations?"
Hou Yuebai said, "I am waiting for the imperial examinations."
Shen Banshan laughed, "If Brother Hou enters the court, what official position will you be?"
Hou Yuebai thought for a moment and said, "Minister!"
Shen Banshan chuckled and said, "Before I am old, I think of Minister."
This was a sarcastic couplet and was said on the spur of the moment. This Shen Banshan was indeed the king of couplets. He was quick-witted and could not be compared to ordinary people. This couplet was not easy to match. The matching of couplets was secondary. The most important thing was how to mock Shen Banshan back. The southern scholar suffered a big loss the moment he came up. Hou Yuebai's face was as red as a pig's liver. He did not know whether to stand or sit.
Luo Ning thought for a while but still could not come up with an answer. She could not help but feel anxious. Was she going to lose the first round? She could not help but sneak a glance at Lin Wanrong. Seeing that he was resting with his eyes closed, she felt a little disappointed.
Lomin saw that no one was answering and was about to admit defeat. However, she heard someone ask, "Is Mister Shen an Elementary Scholar?"
Shen Banshan saw that the person who asked the question was a servant dressed in green with a cheeky smile on his face. His skin was tanned and looked very healthy. Shen Banshan was number one in the world in couplets. However, he had been taking the imperial examinations for many years and had never passed the imperial examinations. This was his greatest humiliation. Lin Wanrong's question touched his scar. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
Lin Wanrong walked to Hou Yuebai's side and forced him to sit down. He smiled at Shen Banshan and said, "That's good. Mister Shen is the head of the Seven Northern Provinces' Book Club. I will represent the head of the Eight Southern Provinces' Book Club – the Xiao Family's Gardeners Department to match your couplet. You have no talent and become an Elementary Scholar. "
"Good — —" Guo Wuchang was the first to stand up and applaud. Everyone in the hall applauded even more. Becoming an Elementary Scholar without talent. This was the most wonderful thing in the world. Even Hou Yuebai's face was filled with excitement. This time, it was clear that Lin San had helped him regain his dignity.
What head of the Eight Southern Provinces' Book Club's Xiao Family's Gardeners Department? He only knew how to make up stories. The Grand Mistress was both surprised and happy. She followed the crowd and applauded.
Shen Banshan's carelessness had caused him to suffer a great loss. Looking at the servant's cheeky face, he could not help but snort and say, "Even a lowly servant wants to learn couplets. Let me give you a piece of advice. Idle people should not enter. Virtuous people should not enter."
Lin Wanrong felt that he was being scolded. He laughed and said, "Mister Shen's appearance is dignified. Holding a banquet for the old lady, the thief will come."
Shen Banshan said, "Wait, wait. You misunderstood me. My couplet is — —" He picked up the brush and wrote on the paper, "Virtuous people should not enter. Idle people should enter." Although the words "virtuous people" and "idle people" were reversed, he still scolded this lowly servant.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Mister Shen also misunderstood my second couplet — —" He took out a pencil and scribbled, "Virtuous people should not enter. Idle people should enter."
The exchange of these two sentences turned it into a curse. It was a perfect match. Everyone in the hall laughed and applauded. Luoyuan and Guo Wuchang called out together, "Big Brother (Lin San), good match."
Seeing that the king of couplets was livid, Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Brother Shen, it's only a couplet. It's just for entertainment. Why are you so stubborn? Why don't I be the host tonight? Let's go to the Qinhuai River and play with the prostitutes. It's much more interesting than this. "
Using obscene language in public was clearly an insult to a scholar. Shen Banshan said angrily, "Weak little servant, you don't know the three generations of Xia, Shang and Zhou."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "A handsome scholar only knows the four poems of elegance."
Shen Banshan saw that he had some real ability and his heart slowly calmed down. He pointed to a withered tree in the courtyard and said, "This ancient tree in the Governor-General's mansion is very beautiful. So I came up with a couplet, a thousand-year-old ancient tree as a clothes hanger." He pointed out that the thousand-year-old ancient tree in the Governor-General's mansion as a clothes hanger was actually an excuse to belittle Lomin.
Damn, although Lo is a little sly and cunning, he has done a lot for the people and is a good official. He's much better than that bullshit Wangye master of yours. Lin Wanrong snorted and said, "A thousand-year-old ancient tree as a clothes hanger. Mister Shen is really talented. My Jiangnan's water village is located on both sides of the Yangtze River. I will come up with a couplet for Mister Shen. Ten thousand miles of the Yangtze River as a bathtub. "
This couplet helped Lomin regain some face. The old fox laughed and did not comment.
Shen Banshan looked around and saw the red walls and blue tiles of the Luo residence. The people sitting in the courtyard were all scholars and scholars from Jiangnan. He said, "Break the pomegranate, there are many scholars in the red door."
"Bite open the ginkgo, there is an adult (benevolent) in the white clothes." Lin Wanrong laughed, matching Shen Banshan's white shirt and white pants.
There was another round of enthusiastic cheers. This time even Lomin could not bear it and turned her back to stifle her laughter. Luo Ning looked at Lin Wanrong with a smile, a faint blush appeared on her face.
Shen Banshan saw that Lin Wanrong was indeed quick-witted and did not dare to look down on him anymore. He paced back and forth for a few steps and was just worrying when he saw the ducklings swimming in the pond outside the door. He said, "Seven ducks floating on the pond, count three pairs for one."
Lin Wanrong thought for a while and saw that the duck had a small fish in its mouth. He suddenly had an idea and said, "Chi fish jumping in the water, count nine inches ten."
Shen Banshan let out a long sigh and cupped his hands, saying, "Little brother has great literary talent. I, Shen Banshan, admire you very much. Today's competition of couplets is my loss. " This Shen Banshan was talented and had some intellectual loftiness. If he lost, he lost. He lost fair and square.
The Jiangnan scholars immediately erupted into a heaven-shaking cheer. This Lin San was simply too miraculous. He actually relied on his own strength to forcibly defeat the Northern Seven Provinces' Zongbiaobazi, the king of matchmaking, Shen Banshan.
The Grand Mistress gritted her teeth and her face was full of smiles, like a flower blooming in May. Luo Ning covered her mouth and smiled, saying to Luoyuan, who was beside her, "Little brother, go and ask Brother Lin where he learned these couplets. I don't believe he can match them." Before she finished speaking, she had already covered her small mouth and started giggling.
Shen Banshan's eyes dimmed and he nodded, saying, "Little brother is a genius. I, Shen Banshan, accept my defeat wholeheartedly. I hope little brother can bestow a name so that I can engrave it in my heart."
Lin Wanrong was covered in cold sweat. Damn, this is too f * cking amazing. Could it be that Li Bai and Du Fu's souls were possessed at this moment? Or did I eat Viagra? I actually defeated this King of Couplets. Damn, I'm too talented.
He confidently shook his head and straightened his servant's hat. He laughed and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. I am a lowly servant from the Jin Ling Xiao Family's gardener department. My bandit name is Lin San. Brother Shen, I mean what I said just now. Let's eat, drink, and play by the Qinhuai River tonight. I'll take care of everything. "
Shen Banshan shook his head with a bitter smile and returned to Zhao Kangning's side. That Young Prince Ning clapped his hands and stood up, saying with a smile, "Wonderful, it really is wonderful. Wonderful, and even more wonderful. I didn't expect the Jin Ling Xiao Family to have such a talent. Lin San, I have to see you in a new light. "
