Although he felt gloomy that night, the night was hazy and he was accompanied by a beauty on the lake, which made him feel much happier. General Lin had always been a very open-minded person. After drinking a few cups of good wine, tasting Xian 'er's small lips, and bickering with his master and sister, his mood calmed down. He could no longer remember what had happened.
When he opened his eyes the next morning, the sky was already bright. The golden sunlight shone through the window of the boat and formed small golden holes on the ground. It was a very beautiful scene. The husband and wife hugged each other on the bed. Bathed in the golden light, they felt warm and comfortable.
"A brand new day!" Lin Wanrong shouted with a smile on his face. He stretched his waist and neck, and the blanket covering his body slid down.
Qin Xianer, who was nestled in his embrace, moaned. Her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes. Her pretty face had a burning red blush, and she stretched out her snow-white arms, hugging his neck tightly. She breathed out and said, "Husband, it's still early, let's sleep a little longer."
Lin Wanrong touched her chest and said with a smile, "A day's plan lies in the morning. Once I touch you, you'll feel like spring. I'm not going to sleep, I'm not going to sleep, I'm going to sunbathe."
"Annoying …" Qin Xian 'er cried out with a blushing face, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Husband, are you alright?"
"Of course I'm alright. What could possibly happen to me? "Lin Wanrong smiled.
"Husband, I like your fearless personality the most." Qin Xian 'er giggled.
Lin Wanrong whispered in her ear: "Little darling, I'll take you to see Qiaoqiao, okay? You two sisters can serve your husband at night."
"You're so naughty …" Qin Xian 'er's face turned red and she didn't dare to speak. She couldn't get along with other women, but she didn't have any complaints about Qiaoqiao. Perhaps Qiaoqiao's gentle and cute personality was to her liking.
Xian'er and her husband teased each other for a while. Seeing that he was in good spirits, as if he was a completely different person from last night, she felt relieved and obediently helped him dress and bathe.
Lin Wanrong looked around at the luxurious pleasure boat, nodded and said, "Xian 'er, your dowry is really generous. In a few days, when I'm free, I'll buy some houses in Jinling. We'll live in a few, and the rest will be involved in real estate. We'll push up the housing prices in Jinling and make a lot of money."
Qin Xian 'er smiled and said, "Husband, do you have that much money?"
This girl dares to look down on me. Hehe. Lin Wanrong chuckled and firmly touched her soft and fragrant buttocks. He said, "Your husband, I, have a lot of money. It's just that I'm saving it with the Xiao Family. In a few days, I'll start buying land and a house. After that, marry a few more wives, have more children, and become a carefree immortal. "
Qin Xian 'er snorted and said, "How many wives do you want to marry? I won't let them enter the house. "
It's not up to you whether you want to enter the house or not. The husband and wife teased each other for a while and walked out of the cabin. They saw An Biru standing at the bow of the boat with a sword in her hand. She was waving it in the wind like a dragon. The sword was swift and fierce, and the wind was shining brightly.
Lin Wanrong clapped his hands and said with a smile, "So cheap, so cheap. Sister is really good at practicing cheap."
An Biru withdrew her sword and calmed down. Seeing the obscene smile on his face, she knew that he didn't have any good intentions. She also said with a smile, "The sword I practice is not as cheap as little brother's. You're the real cheap one. Cheap people love cheap people. Haha … "
There was really nothing to say to this sister. Qin Xian 'er covered her mouth and smiled gently. She asked, "Husband, didn't you say you have urgent matters to attend to in Jinling? What are you going to do? "
Hearing this, Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered that today was the opening day of the poetry competition. He promised Luo Ning that he would participate in it, but he didn't even know where the poetry competition was held. The sponsorship had always been done by Qiaoqiao to help Luo Ning. He didn't interfere at all.
"You won't believe me," Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "Actually, I rushed back to Jinling to participate in the poetry competition."
"Pfft." Qin Xian 'er and An Biru laughed at the same time. Xian' er was still fine, but An Biru couldn't help but say, "Poetry competition? Little brother, how can you be so elegant? I'm not looking down on you, but do you know how to compose poems? "
I'm born to be lewd. Lin Wanrong snorted and said with a bitter face, "I know I can't, but someone forced me to come. I promised her, and I can't lose my integrity. This is the foundation of my foothold."
"Husband, the person you promised is a woman, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked your life to come back, "Qin Xian 'er said with a pout.
Xian 'er really knows me. No wonder she's the person I slept with for a few days. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "This, I'll tell you later. I'm going out now. Xian 'er, do you want to go with me? "
Qin Xian 'er bit her red lips and snorted, "You go with your lover. Why should I go? Won't I make you unhappy? I also have something to do today. It's fine if you seek pleasure and play outside, but don't bring that woman home. Our Lin Family has a high threshold. Not every woman can come in. "
Sweat, as expected, like master like disciple, his style was just as shrewd and fierce. Xian 'er stopped bothering her, and Lin Wanrong felt a little strange. This girl had taken the initiative to say that she would not follow him. It was clearly not her style. What could be more important than her husband?
After the boat docked, Lin Wanrong jumped off and said goodbye to Xian 'er and her disciple. When the two beauties were out of sight, he nodded to himself. This time, he would let Qiaoqiao buy a few villas in Jinling. He didn't need a lot of rooms, just a hundred would be enough for his wife and son. It would barely be enough.
On the third day of his marriage with Qiaoqiao, he left Jinling. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed, and he didn't write a single letter to Qiaoqiao. After coming back yesterday, he suffered a blow and slept with Xian 'er for the whole night. Thinking about it, he felt sorry for Qiaoqiao. He felt guilty and went straight to the restaurant.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't seen it, but he was startled when he saw it. Walking on the street, there were many slogans and banners of the poetry competition posted on both sides of the street, with the words "Food is Immortal" at the bottom. Sure enough, as he had expected, advertisements were everywhere.
The inns on both sides were full of scholars from all over the country. Not only were the food and accommodation full, but it was said that the business by the Qinhuai River had also doubled. The madams were already smiling. It was really like the old saying that prosperity was full of prostitutes. There were all kinds of scholars coming and going on the street. Some had stayed for a few days, and some just came from other places. From time to time, there was the sound of old friends meeting each other. Brother, you must talk about poetry. Suddenly, the sound of poetry could be heard everywhere in Jinling.
This Jinling Poetry Competition had such a great charm? Scholars from the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, both sides of the Yangtze River, and even the capital, as long as they could read two words, had all come. The atmosphere was really too warm.
He was puzzled for a while, and then he laughed. The more people came, the better. His advertising campaign was not a joke. The second shop in Jinling was about to open. In a few days, he would discuss with Qiaoqiao and open a few branches in the capital. He would find Qing Xuan and get rid of Xian 'er's love voodoo, and realize his dream of reuniting with his family in the capital.
He walked forward proudly, but when he arrived at the restaurant, he did not see Qiaoqiao. Even Dong Qingshan and his father-in-law were nowhere to be seen. He asked a few employees in the shop and found out that due to the large number of people participating in this year's poetry competition, the sponsors had to prepare a lot more things. Since yesterday, Qiaoqiao and the others had all gone to the poetry competition to make arrangements.
So that's how it was. Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh in his heart. For a poetry competition to be able to attract so many people, these scholars were really flirtatious.
Lin Wanrong did not have much interest in this poetry competition. If it wasn't for Luo Ning's sincerity, he wouldn't have bothered. But now that he was back, he had to go take a look. Whether or not he could write poetry was another matter. As the saying goes, the most important thing is to participate!
He went downstairs, but he did not know where this poetry competition was going to be held. All along, he only knew that there was such a thing, but he did not know where it was going to be held. Thinking about it, he felt ashamed.
Just as he was about to stop someone to ask, he suddenly heard the sound of a gong. In front of him, there were two groups of officials, each with more than fifty people. They raised all kinds of plaques and walked side by side. It was a spectacular scene. The bailiff at the front hit the gong and sang loudly, "The grand event of the literary world, Jinling. Jinling Poetry Competition, renowned throughout China. Jiangsu Governor Luo Daren, Jinling Prefecture Marquis Yi Daren welcome scholars from all over. "
This group of officials were dressed in fiery red official robes, and the line was long, making it very eye-catching. Lin Wanrong was secretly amused. Wasn't it just a poetry competition? Why did this Luo have to go around announcing it? He was really flirtatious. There were at least a few hundred people in this group. Looking at the bright red line, he suddenly thought of Tao Wanying. It was such a lively scene, but why was she not here? Could it be that she went on a date with that Young Master Hou?
"Hey, bro — —" Lin Wanrong stopped a servant who was passing by. The servant's blue shirt looked friendly, and the world of servants had always been a source of gossip. That was why he chose such a talent, "Little brother Lin San, I want to ask — —"
"Cheh — —" That servant looked at him with disdain and said, "You want to pretend to be the idol of our Jin Ling servant world, Third Brother Lin? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? I saw Third Brother at the Xiao family last month and even drank with him. He has the countenance of a flower and the face of the moon and the countenance of the flowers. How can a brat like you imitate — —"
"Oh, right, right. Third Brother is so tall and handsome, how can I imitate him? I got it wrong. My name is Sanlin, and I want to ask this brother, what is the origin of this poetry competition? Why is it so lively? "Lin Wanrong said modestly.
The servant nodded with satisfaction, patted his shoulder and said, "You just came to Jinling, right?"
"Yes, yes, brother's eyes are like a torch, seeing through everything." Lin Wanrong gave him a thumbs up.
"Of course, I've drunk wine with Third Brother." The servant Rollie proudly said: "Our Jin Ling, since ancient times, has been a place filled with heavenly treasures and outstanding people. This Jin Ling's number one beauty and number one talent, Miss Luo, and our Third Brother Lin are two of the oddities."
Lin Wanrong hurriedly cut him off, "Bro, could you please focus on the poetry competition? Why are there so many talents participating? "
"Don't make a fuss about nothing!" The servant glanced at him and said, "Miss Luo Ning is not only the number one talent in Jinling, but also the number one beauty in Jinling. At the same time, she is also the daughter of the governor of Jiangsu, Mr. Luo. She comes from a rich family and is as pretty as a flower. If she wants to choose a husband, all the talents in the world will rush over like a swarm of bees!"
"You mean, Miss Luo might want to choose a husband through this poetry competition?" Lin Wanrong asked. He had heard this news before he left, but he was not sure at that time.
"It's not possible, it's certain. Even the notice is out, everyone in Jinling city knows about it." The servant said.
Even the notice is out? Poetry competition to choose a husband? F * ck, this is a difficult task. I can't do it, Luo Ning has high standards, and Luo still came up with this stupid idea. This father and daughter pair are both perverts.
"What does the notice say?" Thinking of the scene where Luo Ning sent him off at the top of the mountain before he joined the army, his heart started to heat up again.
"The notice says that Miss Luo is in her twenties, loves poetry, and admires all the scholars in the world. She is willing to use this poetry competition as an opportunity to choose a good husband for Miss Luo. As long as they are of the same age and think they are talented, they can sign up. That's why all the talents in the world are flocking here — hey, don't tell me you are also here to participate in the poetry competition! "The servant said.
"Not at all, I don't even know a few words, wouldn't it be embarrassing to participate in this poetry competition?" Lin Wanrong hurriedly said.
"That's true. This poetry competition receives talents from all over the world, if you want to sign up, I'm sure you will be laughed at. Do you think it's so easy to become Miss Luo's husband? Miss Luo has three conditions, one must be talented, two must be someone she likes, and with these two conditions, she even wants to personally test you. If you answer, you can be a couple with her. Can you do it, you? "The servant said with disdain.
As a man, why can't he do it? Lin Wanrong laughed twice, patted the servant's shoulder and said, "Thank you, brother, I will let third brother treat you to a drink another day."
After inquiring about these things, although Lin Wanrong had some doubts, he wasn't so blind. He walked forward a few steps and saw a sign with a line of big words on it — "Poetry Competition Reception." A few people who looked like masters were sitting still, seeing him coming, they quickly got up and said, "Young master, please give us a number and a name badge!"
Number and name badge? What number? Lin Wanrong was puzzled, the master explained, "Oh, it is the number that was given to you when you passed the preliminary test, please show it."
Preliminary test? Damn, when did I f * cking have a preliminary test, Luo Ning that chick didn't mention it. Seeing that he couldn't take out the number, the master's face changed, "Another one trying to bluff his way through, go away go away, I don't have time to serve you —"
Damn, you eat and drink from me, and your attitude is still so bad, I will fire you. Just as he was about to explode, someone beside him pulled him and said, "Brother, do you want a number, do you want a number? Ten taels of silver for one, the lowest price in the city, fair price, honest to all. "
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood. This was the legendary scalper party, no matter how difficult it was, they could still get it. The person saw that he was hesitating, and said, "Brother, I spent money to hire a few Elementary Scholars to queue up, and each of them wrote a few poems to pass the test. I also had to use my connections, and on every festival, I have to give benefits. This price is very fair. Every day, there are hundreds of scholars entering the city, and not everyone can pass. This number is in high demand, you better hurry up, the poetry competition is about to start, if you are any later, then Miss Luo will be in someone else's arms. "
The last sentence was too f * cking important, Lin Wanrong was a scalper, he gritted his teeth and said, "Three taels of silver, if you don't want it then forget it!"
The person endured the pain and said, "Alright, since you are so straightforward, then three taels it is." Lin Wanrong took the number, it was an invitation card, the most eye-catching logo on it was the logo of the Food for Immortals, it didn't look like a fake.
Hehe, not bad, the printing was quite exquisite. Lin Wanrong took out the silver and walked forward, but was pulled back by someone, sneakily saying, "Brother, do you want a number, do you want it, the lowest price in the city, one tael of silver for one, eight taels is fine too —"
F * ck, Lin Wanrong roared, turned around to look for that person, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Today was not a good start, he was ruthlessly cheated before even entering the venue, Lin Wanrong was unhappy, he walked towards the reception with a gloomy face.
It was still the two advisors, they acted as if they had never seen him before, took the number from his hand, looked at it, and smiled charmingly, "The number is correct, young master, please give us a name, we will help you register!"
What name, Lin Wanrong took out a pencil, wrote two words, and said, "This is my name, I am a local."
"San Lin? Oh, so it is the third young master, I have long heard of your name, this is your poetry competition number, it corresponds to your name one by one, please keep it well. " Damn, I have long heard of this name, Lin Wanrong put the number into his pocket, he didn't even look at it, he directly rushed in.
"Wait, wait —" The advisor hurriedly stopped him, smiled and said, "Third young master, according to the rules of this competition, please do us a favor —"
"Favor? What favor? "Lin Wanrong didn't understand.
"Hey —" Master pointed behind him, Lin Wanrong looked back, he saw a big sign there, "Participants, please pay five taels of tea in advance."
F * ck, this is robbery, Lin Wanrong was shocked, he turned around and said, "What is the meaning of this? Isn't the poetry competition sponsored by the Food for Immortals? Why do you want to collect money? Is there still any law? "
Master sneered, "We don't know if it is sponsored or not, but this is the rule set by the relevant people, if you want to participate in this poetry competition, you can't violate it. We are only responsible for the cashier, other things, you can ask the relevant people."
He was speechless, this little girl Luo Ning is also good at grabbing money, hehe, you squeezed eight taels of silver from me today, in the future, I will make you pay back countless times.
"Take it, no need to keep the change." Lin Wanrong flicked his wrist, a shiny silver ingot fell into his master's hand, he then walked forward confidently.
The two masters looked at the silver in their hands, you only have five taels of silver, what's there to change for?
