"Old wang ye, can this little brother ask a question?" Lin daren said gently and elegantly.
Cheng Wang looked at him with a slight smile. "Lin daren, you are my guest today, there is no need to be so courteous. If you have something to say, ben wang will definitely say it."
Lin Wanrong nodded. He pointed at the pretty female in the center and asked in a light voice, "Wang ye, can you tell me why you have to make this miss laugh? Does she not know how to laugh normally, or does she laugh too much that her mouth cramps? "
Cheng Wang stilled. What was this, her mouth cramps from laughing too much? Only Lin San could come up with such an idea. Wang ye roared with laughter and patted his shoulder. "Lin daren is really humorous. Ben wang has high expectations of you. It seems that tonight's guest will definitely be you. It's not that this miss doesn't know how to laugh, but she said that her smile will only bloom on the person she likes. It might be you, Lin daren! "
"Really?" Lin Wanrong looked lecherously at the female in the center and said with a lewd smile, "This miss really has a personality, I like it. Actually, laughing is a very important matter. Oh, old wang ye, what do you think is considered successful as a person? " His last words were said in a loud voice so everyone in the hall could hear him clearly. When the people heard Lin daren speak, they instantly stopped their discussions and perked up their ears to listen.
"This, ben wang has never thought about it." Cheng Wang said with a smile, "I would like to hear Lin daren's opinion."
"Of course there is no need for wang ye to think about it. You are born with a golden spoon in your mouth. How can we compare to you?" Lin daren giggled. "If I were to say it, it is very simple to be a successful person. Men have to improve every day, women have to laugh often. Hee hee, wang ye, you are a wise person, you will definitely understand. "
He was a flirtatious person and his words were full of flirtatiousness. There were many flirtatious people in the hall that were like him. Hearing the hidden words he used, some people couldn't help but laugh. This Lin daren, it seemed that he was an old hand at the brothel. He could even say such a taboo joke.
Those with quick reactions and those with slow reactions understood the meaning behind his words. They turned around and secretly laughed. Instead, the young lady glanced at him. No one knew what she was thinking.
Cheng Wang roared with laughter: "Good, good! Sir Lin is truly unfathomable. This king admires you more and more. However, everyone here today is the elite of China. You will also have many formidable opponents! " After he finished speaking, he casually glanced at the crowd, but his gaze fell on Su Mubai.
If they could be this young lady's guest, they would definitely be happier than immortals. Everyone's attention was attracted by the beauty, and their eyes all fell on her. He thought hard about how to make her laugh.
As expected of the elites of China, they were extremely quick-witted. Official Lin lazily yawned. He saw the big-bellied Official Ye, who had just spoken, stand up and say, "Fellow colleagues are all so modest, then this lowly official will throw out a brick to attract jade, and first display my incompetence. Your Highness, I'll tell a joke! "
Cheng Wang nodded with a faint smile, indicating for him to continue. Lin Wanrong looked at him with disdain. He was already this old, this fat, and he still wanted to be the guest of this young lady. He really was unrestrained enough.
"This brother, may I ask what position this Official Ye has in the court? I see that he is quick-witted and elegant, so his position shouldn't be below mine. "Official Lin pulled over a daren sitting behind him and asked.
That daren was so shocked that he almost spat out the wine in his mouth. Official Lin was indeed a favored official of the Son of Heaven. He didn't even place Official Ye in his eyes. It seemed that replacing his position was just around the corner. He had to curry favor with this official close to the Son of Heaven. "Oh, Official Lin, you're talking about Official Ye. He is the current Minister of Appointments!"
Minister of Appointments? Damn, isn't that my immediate superior's superior? Official Lin gave an awkward smile: "This brother is really honest. Actually, Official Ye is my superior, so how could I not know him? The reason I asked this earlier was because I wanted to get to know this brother. What is this brother's great name, and what position do you hold? "
That daren hurriedly cupped his fists and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare. This lowly official Yan Daoji is a scholar in the Hall of Literary Glory. I'm responsible for copying and recording all kinds of history books. In addition, when there are major events, such as sacrifices to the heavens and amnesty, this lowly official will also draft imperial edicts for His Majesty. "
Oh, isn't this a secretary? This is a good job. Yan Daoji's seat was at the front of the back row, which meant that he was the first in the second rank. Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and said: "So it's Brother Yan Daoji. I've heard of your name for a long time. My apologies for not recognizing you."
Official Lin was just exchanging pleasantries with Yan Daoji when he heard Official Ye start to tell a joke. With his big belly, he walked over to the side of the young lady and said with a flattering smile: "Once upon a time, there was a scholar who teased a stuttering child. He said, 'If you learn to crow like a duck, I'll buy you a bag of melon seeds to eat!' That stuttering child said, 'Even if you buy me ten bags of melon … melon … melon seeds, I still won't learn to crow like a duck!!!' "
As he told the joke, he imitated that duck, his big belly shaking. It was very funny. Everyone laughed together. Official Ye glanced at the young lady complacently, but saw that her expression was indifferent and cold. She didn't have any intention of opening her mouth to laugh.
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly. You old man, telling jokes is too lacking. Us men tell jokes, how can we be so honest? If we don't touch on some meat, what kind of joke is that?
Seeing that the Minister of Appointments, Official Ye, had personally come out, although the effect was minimal, he had played a good role in leading the way. Instantly, a few more people stood up to tell jokes. However, that young lady was like a natural block of ice. The others laughed until they bent back and forth, but she was expressionless and unmoving, as if she was deaf.
Her acting was very good! Official Lin laughed inside. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he wouldn't have known that a seductive fox like you could pretend to be a fairy. Such a pure and holy appearance.
Seeing the atmosphere become more and more lively, but there was nothing that could make the beautiful young lady laugh. Cheng Wang looked around and his gaze landed on Su Mubai. He said with a smile: "Su Zhuangyuan, you are the new top student in the Enke Section. Your talent and learning must not be shallow. Come and try."
Lin Wanrong and Su Mubai were old acquaintances. Hearing this, he immediately took the lead in clapping and cheering. Su Mubai glanced at him and nodded as he stood. He said with a smile: "Today, everyone present is Mubai's seniors and superiors. This lowly official doesn't dare to overstep. But since wang ye has spoken, this lowly official can only show his incompetence. I will also tell a joke. Lin Xiaomao's parents have three children. The eldest son is called Da Dan, the second son is called Er Dan. May I ask what the third son is called? "
"That's simple. Da Dan, Er Dan, naturally after that is San Dan!" A straightforward person shouted loudly.
"Official Lin, what do you think?" Su Mubai smiled slightly and asked.
Damn you, you dare to scold me? Official Lin was extremely angry. He was an expert in messing with people. Even though this joke was a taboo, he naturally understood the double meaning. He snickered and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Official Su is very talented. You know the answer better than anyone else."
Su Mubai roared with laughter and said proudly: "Lin Xiaomao's parents have three children. The eldest is called Da Dan, the second is called Er Dan, and the third is naturally Lin Xiaomao. Ha ha ha ha, thanks for letting me win!"
So it was a brain twister. As expected, it was interesting. Everyone present started to laugh. There were some who were clever and understood the meaning of this joke. The third son was called Lin Xiaomao, but according to the order of his two elder brothers, he was also called Lin San Dan. This name was not fake at all!
Lin San Dan?! That person looked in shock at Official Lin. He saw that he had a slight smile on his face as though he didn't understand the meaning of the joke. That person's heart finally calmed down. Good, good, this Lin Xiaomao isn't as clever as me.
San Dan's story finished. That woman was still sitting without a word. It seemed that no one could move her tonight. Everyone was more or less disappointed.
Cheng Wang saw the fire flashing in Su Mubai's eyes and a hint of a smile flashed through his eyes. He stood and said: "Su Zhuangyuan is very talented, ben wang is very happy. But the main purpose of tonight is to make the beauty laugh. The beauty has been waiting for a long time, but no one has succeeded. Ben wang is very anxious. Lin Official, you are at the side of the Emperor, your talents and abilities are naturally first class. You should also come and try. However — — "
Cheng Wang paused slightly. He looked at the people in the hall and said with a smile: "My colleagues are all telling jokes to make the beauty laugh. For fairness, Official Lin, you should also tell a joke. Does anyone have any objections?"
"Good!" Everyone cheered. They had long heard of the great name of this Official Lin. He had won against the Goryeo, fought against the Turks, he had done one miracle after another. But they had never personally seen his miracles. Today, they could finally open their eyes.
"Ai, everyone is too kind. Lin San is untalented and shallow, I really don't know how to tell a joke." Official Lin stood and gave a bashful smile, very humble and respectful.
"Brother Lin is too humble." Su Mubai's eyes flashed as he looked at him and said: "You are deeply favored and trusted by the Emperor. You are the 'Number One in the World' written by the Emperor himself. The words' Number One in the World 'are enough to explain everything. You definitely have something special about you that we ordinary people can't compare to. What does telling a joke count for? "
"Yes, yes!" Everyone cheered, their emotions very enthusiastic.
Lin Wanrong snickered: "Since Su Zhuangyuan is so kind, then this little brother can only try. Brother Zhuangyuan, if you met a mad dog on the street, what would you do? "
