Chapter 51: Zhang Ji's Trap(1/2)

The discussion on high-quality and medium-quality products came to an end, and Yang Anxuan was rated as high-quality and medium-quality products due to his reputation as "the god of wind and beauty".

People at that time were in an uproar, knowing that these four words once criticized a great man, the late Taiwei Xie An.

Many people thought that the criticism given by Governor Xi was too much, and how could Yang Anxuan and He De be on par with Lieutenant Xie.

Yang Anxuan was high-spirited and firmly believed that his future achievements would surpass Xie An's. Xie Taiwei won the Battle of Feishui and saved the Eastern Jin Dynasty from destruction. He would then send his troops north to pacify Beihu and restore peace to the world.

Back in Jiyang, there was a lot of excitement again, with ancestor worship, banquets, and friends meeting. The seven or eight days passed quickly.

The date for the trip of all the Yin friends has been decided, November 1st.

Yin Dun sent a letter to Yang Anxuan, asking him to come to the village on October 26 to say farewell.

In the past few years since I met Yin Dun, the friendship between the two has grown day by day. At first, both of them were somewhat utilitarian, but as their relationship deepened, they have become true friends.

Yang Anxuan was a little sad, Yin Dun was his first friend after time travel.

He learned a lot from Yin Dun and gained a deep understanding of the current political system, wealthy families, folk customs, etc.

Don't forget Yang Qiu when you go to Yinjiazhuang, otherwise this little girl will miss her all day long.

Yang Qiu hugged her precious jigsaw puzzle. She had developed several new patterns in the past few days and wanted to take the opportunity to show it off to Yin Huizhen.

On the way to Yinjiabao, there were many oxcarts on the road, and they were all scholars who came to attend the party. Yang Anxuan secretly lamented that Yindun really had a wide range of contacts.

When we met on the street, people who knew Yang Anxuan greeted him warmly.

The upper-middle grade corresponds to an official starting from the sixth grade. How many scholars will never reach this height in their official career.

The young man in front of me is only sixteen years old. In forty years, it is possible for him to become the Prime Minister.

Even if we can't be friends, we still need to become familiar with each other, just in case someone comes to visit us with a request in the future.

They merged into the traffic and rushed towards Yinjiazhuang. Yin Dun heard the news and stood at the wooden gate to greet him.

When I entered the village, I saw that the empty field outside Wubao was full of vehicles and horses, and there were at least two hundred people coming.

Knowing that Yin Youqi was about to return to the capital, the noble families sent people to come one after another, and even the Chen family sent people to see Cheng Yi off.

As the Zhengzheng of Xinye County, Yin Youqi is less than 40 years old, and if nothing unexpected happens, he can be re-elected three or five times.

In other words, in the next ten years or so, the quality of the new Yeshizi will be in his hands. Such a person will determine the rise and fall of the family. How can he not come to curry favor? The Cheng Yi given to him is afraid that it will be too thin and will be compared with other families.

Not everyone is qualified to enter Wubao and sit in the meeting hall to drink tea and chat with Yin Xi and Yin friends.

Yang Anxuan followed the crowd and greeted Yin Xi, Yin Youqi and others. After seeing the ceremony, he declined the invitation to stay for tea and followed Yin Dun out of the meeting hall.

The Yin family members at the gate of Wukong were all smiling and took the guests to the direction of Jingqi Pond. Along the pond there were not only water pavilions but also pavilions and pavilions.

It's not too cold, so you can have fun in the village by yourself.

As the eldest grandson and the nominal inviter, Yin Dun had no time to accompany Yang Anxuan. He briefly said a few words to Yang Anxuan and then went to Muzha to welcome the guests.

Yang Anxuan once felt like he was criticizing a new friend. Wherever he went, there were enthusiastic chatter and his face was frozen with laughter. Yang Anxuan wanted to find a quiet place to escape.

On the tall building in front, Gongsunhe, Gaoguang and others were giving instructions and joking.

Seeing Yang Anxuan downstairs, Gongsunhe greeted him loudly: "Anxuan, Anxuan, come upstairs and talk."

Come on, I can’t leave. Yang Anxuan went upstairs with a smile and greeted everyone. He saw a table in the middle of the building, covered with white paper, and he was obviously writing poems and poems.

"An Xuan, we are just about to put together a farewell poem to send to Brother Yin. You are a great talent, so this farewell poem will be written by you." Gao Guang said with a smile.

Yang Anxuan repeatedly postponed and said: "My dear friends, none of you are rich in education. How dare Anxuan write when he is young?"

"I'm afraid I didn't write it down beforehand before going out today, so I don't want to be embarrassed." A voice said abruptly.

Everyone looked at him sideways, and Gao Guang shouted: "Brother Chen Xian, if you don't know how to drink, just drink two less drinks. You will offend others by talking nonsense when you are drunk, and you won't help Mr. Chen down to rest."

Yang Anxuan recognized the person who spoke, Chen Si, the son of Chen Shen, and his ranking was upgraded from the fifth grade to the fourth grade.

He met Chen Si several times at the County Poetry Club. Chen Si could write well, draw flowers and plants exquisitely, play the piano well, and write a few poems. He was considered versatile.

Chen Si was quite famous among Xinye scholars, and he was still slightly ahead of Yin Dun, claiming to be the most talented person in Xinye County.

Unfortunately, after Yang Anxuan came to Xinye, the number one position changed. Chen Si was quite unhappy.

In addition, his father, Chen Shen, was at odds with Yang Quanqi. Chen Si took advantage of the opportunity to argue and challenged Yang Anxuan several times, but was silenced in response.

An Xuan's loudest cry from the Eight Masters of Zhuoshui came out. Chen Si was so angry that he smashed the pen and inkstone on the case. He was very similar to his father in smashing things.

During this criticism, Chen Shen secretly used tricks. Chen Si often spoke ill of Yang Anxuan during a gathering with his friends. As a result, his thoughts were in vain. Yang Anxuan was determined to be in the top or middle class, and Chen Si was jealous and resentful.

Chen Shen knew that he had offended the Yang family too much, so he wanted to move his official position elsewhere.

People are humble when they leave their hometown. The Chen family has been working hard in Xinye for many years. If they leave this county, their future will be worrying.

Everything started because of Yang Anxuan, and Chen Si hated Yang Anxuan more and more.

In response to Chen Si's provocation, Yang Anxuan smiled contemptuously. Most of the Chen family was at odds with his own family, and the two families had fought openly and secretly for many times, but they still refused to give up.

In this case, if I don't teach Chen Si a profound lesson today, I'd be sorry for my two lives.

Having made up his mind, Yang Anxuan pretended to be anxious and said: "Chen Si, don't talk nonsense. I will write a poem and send it to Brother Yin."

Regarding Yang Anxuan's poetic talent, Chen Si had to write a word of praise even against his will, but today was not about poetry.

Seeing that Yang Anxuan was anxious, Chen Si became more and more sure that he could not compose a poem, and said with a smile: "Master Yang, today is writing a poem, so don't take out the poems you prepared in advance. Mr. Yang is not a man of brilliant words and brilliant talents."

Is it civil or military? I want to write a special poem that won't trouble you."

"Who said that Yu can't write a poem? It's just that the excitement here is too busy to think carefully. Tomorrow, Yu will write a separate poem and give it to Brother Yin."

Chen Si sneered, Yang Anxuan's expression was clearly stern in his eyes, and he pressed harder and harder: "If Mr. Yang can't write the poem on the spot, people will have to suspect that your poems and "Little Window Quiet Sentences" were ghostwritten.

Aren’t you blushing because you are so high-end?”

Gongsun He opened his mouth to persuade him, but Gao Guang secretly tugged on his robe and stood beside him with a smile, watching the joke.

Yang Anxuan's high-end high-end made him jealous, and it was difficult to target him, so Chen Si stepped forward and was happy to see the result.

Yang Anxuan glanced around in panic, and seeing no one to help him, he said forcefully: "Just write, what if you can write it down?"

Chen Sidao: "If you can write a unique poem that will be praised by everyone, I will jump off this building."

"No", "Brother Chen, think twice", "Don't make fun of me, this is not a trivial matter, think twice", the advice came from all over the place.

He Changsheng had said the same thing at the Phoenix Tower, but ended up hanging himself after returning home. This was an unlucky bet.

Gao Guang frowned and said, "Brother Chen, this bet is too much of a joke. It is a waste of skills between friends. There is no need for this. In Gao's opinion, just bet some money."

Chen Si also had the guts to say that. Hearing Gao Guang talk about gambling money, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll bet a tael of gold."

Yang Anxuan shook his head and said: "It's just one or two gold, I won't gamble." After saying that, he turned around to go downstairs.

Chen Si finally managed to capture Yang Anxuan, but he was not willing to let him escape easily. He opened his hand to stop Yang Anxuan and said with a smile: "Although the Chen family is poor, they also have a small amount of capital. Mr. Yang, you can bet as much as you think is suitable."

Even if the bet loses, it will only result in a loss of some money, but if it wins, Yang Anxuan's reputation will be ruined, and the Yang family will not be able to hold its head high in Xinye County.

Yang Anxuan shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's still inappropriate. What if you deliberately say that the poems I wrote are not good? It won't be too late for us to bet again when we invite famous people from all over the county."

Everyone in the building noticed Yang Anxuan's evasion and became suspicious.

Gao Guang smiled and said, "Brother Anxuan, if you can trust us, we are willing to be your guarantee." Yang Anxuan glanced at Gao Guang, who was adding fuel to the fire and might have become jealous.

Looking around hesitantly, Yang Anxuan asked with a hint of panic: "Are you really willing to guarantee it?"

Some people saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal and agreed with a smile; some people were a little embarrassed and feared that it would be difficult to end it if Yang Anxuan lost face.

Chen Shen was afraid that Yang Anxuan would get away with something, so he said loudly: "I will write a bet right now. Everyone in the building please sign below as a guarantee."

Yang Anxuan was forced into a desperate situation and looked towards Gongsunhe for help.

Gongsun He turned his head and looked outside the building, not daring to look into Yang Anxuan's eyes. If he helped Yang Anxuan, he would definitely become enemies of everyone in the building and offend many people, which would be inappropriate.

Yang Anxuan secretly thought that this person was indecisive and short-sighted, so he should not have deep friendship with him.

Seeing Chen Si writing about the bet, Yang Anxuan said: "Wait a minute, we haven't agreed on the bet yet."

Chen Si smiled and said, "I bet ten taels of gold. When my grandfather passed away, he left me two shops in the city, worth fifty gold. I bet them both."

Yang Anxuan shook his head and said, "No, I don't have that much money."

Chen Si sneered and said, "If I win this bet, I won't take Young Master Yang's money. As long as Young Master Yang explains in public that your poems were ghostwritten, and admits that they are not worthy of being of high quality, then he will bow to me when he sees me in the future."

Yang Anxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I have to find at least thirty witnesses before I bet with you."

Chen Si laughed and said: "There are no less than two hundred people coming to the gathering in the village today, and only thirty of them can be found quickly. I will let you think about it for a while, and I will go find the witnesses right away."

Within a quarter of an hour, the bet was filled with names, not to mention thirty, probably even fifty.

Yang Anxuan looked at the densely packed names and sneered in his heart. If he is as good as Lin Feng, he will be destroyed. It seems that he is regarded as a top-middle-class person and is hated by others. So many people are eager to make a fool of himself.

Yin Dun heard that he came over quickly and shouted: "Everyone, why is this? To give Yin some face, this bet is over. A banquet has been held in the building. You should go and have a banquet."

Chen Si smiled and said: "Brother Yin, the arrow is already on the string and must be fired. So many people are just waiting for Young Master Yang to make a fu."

Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "Since Brother Yin is here, you might as well sign your name as guarantee."

Yin Dun saw the indifferent smile on Yang Anxuan's face and understood immediately.

Glancing at the triumphant Chen Si, I sighed to myself that this fool had fallen into a trap without realizing it.

He quickly glanced at the person who had signed the name as a guarantor and found Gongsunhe's name. He looked up in surprise. Gongsunhe looked ashamed and lowered his head in silence.
