It was a farmer woman who had woken up early. She had a big water bowl hanging around her neck and a hoe on her back. She was holding the hand of a young child as she went out to work. Of the two children, the older one was three or four years old while the younger one had just learned how to walk. The three of them walked unsteadily on the fields. Zhao Kangning's "one sheep leading two lambs" was mocking the farmer woman and the children.
Mei Yanqiu laughed and said, "The Young Prince is in a good mood to start a topic with these lowly people."
When Lin Wanrong was a child, he was brought up by his parents like this. Seeing this scene, he felt a sense of closeness. Hearing Mei Daguxue's words, his eyes were burning. He snorted and walked to the farmer woman's side, saying, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Seeing everyone laughing at her, the woman was scared out of her wits. She shook her head and said, "I don't dare, please spare my life …" She said a few words and then pulled the children away. The hoe dragged the ground and the water jug clanked. The two children were young, so in their fright, they fell to the ground and cried loudly. The woman was also scared and cried bitterly, not daring to raise her head.
Zhao Kangning, Mei Yanqiu, and the other talents burst out laughing when they saw this scene. Luo Ning frowned and sighed helplessly.
Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. His face was as black as charcoal. Guo Wuchang walked to his side and pulled him, saying, "Lin San, are you okay?"
Lin Wanrong softly said, "I'm okay, Young Master. I just want to f * cking kill someone."
The Young Cousin was startled and hurriedly pulled him away, saying, "Lin San, what nonsense are you talking about? If someone hears you, do you still want to live?"
This Young Cousin was usually a bit cowardly, but now he was very understanding. Lin Wanrong sighed and didn't say anything.
Luo Ning noticed his strange expression and hurried over, asking with concern, "Brother Lin, are you alright?"
Lin Wanrong said lightly, "I'm fine. Miss Lo, you should go back there quickly."
Mei Yanqiu shouted, "Ning 'er, come here quickly. I have something to tell you."
Her master's life was the most important. Luo Ning's expression was anxious as she whispered, "Big Brother Lin, I thought that only my master would come. I didn't expect that the little duke would come as well. I really didn't hide it from you on purpose."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "I know, this has nothing to do with you, you should go." Luo Ning looked at him, then turned around and left.
Seeing that Luo Ning had returned, Mei Yanqiu pulled her hand and smiled, "Ning 'er, can you match Kang Ning's couplet?"
Luo Ning was worried about Lin Wanrong, so she didn't have the mood to match it. She stammered, "Master, I can't answer …"
The gifted men and women who came with her were also racking their brains, but no one answered. Zhao Kangning rolled his eyes and looked at Lin Wanrong, saying with a smile, "Lin San, your couplet with Mister Shen Banshan that day was very interesting. Why don't you come and give it a try?"
Lin Wanrong expressionlessly replied, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you talk to the little prince like that?" Luo Ning's Master, Mei Yanqiu, furiously said.
If it wasn't for Luo Ning's face, I wouldn't even care about you. Lin Wanrong disdainfully smiled and said, "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"You, you …" Mei Yanqiu was so angry that he couldn't continue. Luo Ning anxiously signaled Lin Wanrong with her eyes. Zhao Kangning continued, "Master, please calm down. This person is the Xiao Family servant who defeated Shen Banshan that day, Lin San."
Mei Yanqiu suppressed his anger and said, "He's just a little servant, what ability can he have? That Shen Banshan is too useless."
"That's right, Teacher Shen really doesn't have any ability. He can only come up with some talented couplets, unlike Teacher Mei, who takes in all the high officials and nobles as his disciples and enjoys the respect of the world. This little brother admires him, very much." Lin Wanrong expressionlessly said. Everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.
Not to mention whether this Mei Yanqiu had any ability or not, just based on the fact that her disciples were all rich and noble. Today, she even mocked the toiling commoners. Her character was definitely not good. Those high officials and nobles probably wanted to take her as their disciple just to get some gold.
Seeing that Lin San and Mei Yanqiu were going to fight, some were worried, some were cheering, but most of them just wanted to watch the show. Luo Ning was in the middle, and she was in a dilemma.
Mei Yanqiu was respected in the capital, so he had never been ridiculed like this. He was so angry that his face turned green. He said, "I won't waste my breath with a lowly person like you. If you have the ability, then go against Kangning's couplet."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "I'm just afraid that a lowly person like me would dare to go against it, but a superior person like you wouldn't dare to listen."
Zhao Kangning snorted, "What a joke. How can there be a couplet that the teacher doesn't dare to listen to? Lin San, my couplet is' One Sheep Leads Two Sheep '. Come and see."
What a bully!! Lin Wanrong coldly said, "It's just a stupid couplet without any deep meaning or philosophy. What's so difficult about it? Listen well, I'll go against you, two pigs in one trough."
Zhao Kangning and Mei Yanqiu's expressions changed. This was a naked insult to the two of them, especially Zhao Kangning. He was the grandson of a prince, but he was mocked as a pig. How could he tolerate this insult? Zhao Kangning's expression changed, "How dare you, Lin San. You dare to humiliate the royal-"
"Little prince, how did I humiliate the royal-" Lin Wanrong looked at him coldly.
Zhao Kangning was momentarily speechless. He couldn't say that he was humiliated as a pig, but everyone understood the meaning of this couplet. Mei Yanqiu angrily said, "Lin San, you can't quibble. Today's matter was witnessed by us. You humiliated the little prince and the royal- this is a crime punishable by death."
Lin Wanrong was extremely angry. He laughed bleakly and said, "Humiliate the royal-? What a big hat. Mei Guoxue, you're really capable. It's a pity that you're biased. In my opinion, it should be someone with ulterior motives who humiliated the founding emperor of China and the foundation of China. "
Mei Yanqiu said, "Lin San, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Wanrong snorted, "One sheep leads two sheep!! What a good 'one sheep leads two sheep'!! That peasant woman works hard with her child. She works at sunrise and rests at sunset. She relies on her own hands to eat. How is she inferior to you? If you weren't born in a good family, you wouldn't even be half as good as she is. "
"You, you …" Mei Yanqiu was so angry that she almost fainted after hearing his nonsense. Luo Ning hurriedly supported her and looked at Lin Wanrong for help.
"The country is based on agriculture. The people are the foundation of China. What ability do you have to look down on them? Mei Guoxue, you come from the prosperous capital. Perhaps you've been a citizen of the capital for eight lifetimes. In your eyes, the others are all ignorant and lowly people. Not bad, very good. You're very arrogant and noble. But I don't f * cking understand. Mei Guoxue, when your eight or eighteen generations of ancestors came out of the cracks in the rocks, did they live in a castle? Don't f * cking talk nonsense. They're the same as our ancestors, all peasants. They're all lowly people in your eyes. Who the f * ck divided people into the capital, the countryside, the noble, and the lowly? "
In his anger, Lin Wanrong fiercely kicked a rock in front of him. With a crashing sound, the rock broke into two halves. Everyone was intimidated by his imposing manner and didn't dare to open their mouths. Moreover, they vaguely felt that although his words were crude, there was a clear logic behind them. Even Mei Yanqiu and Zhao Kangning couldn't refute him. "You ridiculed them, ridiculed them. That is mocking your own ancestors. That is forgetting your roots. Our China's founding Emperor Taizu was also a farmer. He had personally plowed the fields. Even he, the old man, was proud of the fact that he planted his own land and ate his own food. You look down on the common people and insult them. Isn't that insulting our Emperor Taizu? Isn't that insulting our China? Little Prince, although you're a noble prince's grandson, you're insulting our ancestors and the Sage Emperor. Very good. Very strong. You're much more courageous than me. "
Hearing his words directed at the Little Prince, everyone immediately became silent. Everyone knew the story of the founding Emperor of China. From the cowherd boy to the founding Emperor, he was a role model that everyone followed. Now that the Little Prince looked down on the farmers, it was the same as looking down on his own ancestors. No one could deny it. This Lin San's mouth was full of vulgarities, but his words were undeniable. Shen Banshan's defeat at his hands that day was not unjust at all.
Zhao Kangning was drenched in cold sweat. This Lin San had a sharp tongue and a quick mind. If he said that he was insulting the prince's grandson, then he would say that he was insulting the Sage Emperor. This debt was not worth it. Being scolded by him, Zhao Kangning could only accept it and swallow it.
The scholars from the north saw that Lin San was so arrogant. Not only did he scold the Little Prince, but he also scolded the respected Great Mei Nation. They were furious. One of them came out and said, "Brother Lin, you have a sharp tongue. You even dare to be so presumptuous in front of Mister Mei. I'm not talented, but I can also come up with a couplet — a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a violent tiger relying on the river, how can an ordinary man be brave? "
Lin Wanrong angrily stared at him and said, "An ant climbing a locust tree is like an ant trying to shake a tree. A fool thinks he's a hero."
That scholar saw that he was much more talented and imposing than the others, so he didn't dare to say anything else. Lin Wanrong snorted and said, "Since this brother respects Mister Mei so much, I also have a couplet. I'd like to invite this brother to come up with a couplet. My first couplet is, the cockscomb flower hasn't bloomed — — "
That scholar had some talent. Without thinking, he said, "Mister Bristlegrass — —" As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that it was not good. Aiyo, didn't he just scold Mister Mei?
Everyone burst into laughter. They knew that this brother had been tricked by Lin San. Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and said with a sinister smile, "Brother is wise. This little brother admires you."
Mei Yanqiu was furious. As a respected scholar, how could she be willing to be scolded by Lin San like this? She flicked her sleeves and said, "Two apes in the Cutting Wood Mountain. This monkey also knows how to match couplets."
"A horse is stuck in the mud. How can this animal get out?" Lin Wanrong didn't shy away and replied. The scholars were in an uproar. Lin San was the first person who dared to scold Mister Mei on the spot. This Lin San had some roguish qualities. However, with his talent, there was nothing wrong in scolding anyone.
Lin Wanrong saw that Mei Da Guoxue's face alternated between red and white, and she couldn't help but feel very carefree in her heart. Today, she scolded her to her heart's content, and she was right. Who asked this old woman to be so arrogant? If she didn't teach her a lesson, she would think that she was the most awesome person in the world.
Lin Wanrong smiled coldly and said, "Among all the talents in the world, I admire Lord Xu Wei the most. Whether it's his character, temperament, or talent, he is impeccable. As for Mei Yanqiu learning from you, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Even if you study for another hundred years, you won't be able to catch up to a tenth of Mister Xu. You don't have to mention the word 'scholar'. "
He sighed as if he was very tired. He said to Guo Wuchang, "Young Master, this isn't a place for us to stay. Let's go back."
