Chapter 33 Accept the Challenge
The carriage drove slowly into the gate of Jinyang City. Wang Yu opened the curtain and looked at the pedestrians and businesses around him. He couldn't help but feel extremely friendly.
"Finally back..."
"Ah... who..."
His body suddenly flew into the air and he was caught and put on a horse. Wang Yu subconsciously thought he had encountered bandits. Then he thought, no, this is Jinyang City, where did the bandits come from?
Turning around and looking up, she saw Li Yuan looking down at her with a smile: "My dear, is it comfortable to ride in the carriage?"
Wang Yu looked back and saw Li Shimin and others smiling, with joy on their brows and eyes, so he said to Li Yuan: "It doesn't matter whether I feel comfortable or not. The important thing is that Mr. Tang is in a good mood."
"You're the only one with a sweet mouth." Li Yuan scolded with a smile.
Ah, you are in such a good mood and you even praised her? It seems that you have won the battle.
Arriving in front of the Li Mansion, Li Yuan jumped off his horse, then carried Wang Yu and walked straight into the Li Mansion. Li Shimin and the Changsun family who came to greet him were stunned for a moment.
Has Aye changed his gender?
What happened to Aweng?
Qin Qiong thought to himself that it seemed that his half-brother was very popular with Duke Tang. He rode with him on the same horse. Even Li Erlang didn't get this treatment, let alone being carried into the palace by Duke Tang.
Luo Shixin thought, this little brother Shubao has a great future and he must build a good relationship with him.
Duan Zhixuan, who was standing behind, was stunned: Wang Yu is a good boy. He scolded Duke Tang not long ago, and now he can win such an honor. His ability is so great that he can't even match it...
The person involved, Wang Yu, was also confused. No one had hugged her like this since she was a child. This feeling was unfamiliar and made her very uncomfortable.
She struggled to get down: "Tang Gong, let me down, I will go by myself."
"No." Li Yuan held on and said, "You are a great hero, how can I let you go by yourself?"
Looking down at her coquettish expression, Li Yuan teased her: "What's the matter, are you still shy?"
"Who is shy?"
She's just not used to it.
However, seeing Li Yuan's attitude, he would not listen to her. Thinking of what he just said, Wang Yu looked at Li Yuan with a smile: "Since I am a great hero, what will Duke Tang prepare to reward me?"
"I'll give you whatever you want." Li Yuan's attitude was very generous.
Wang Yu felt happy and said quickly: "As for the two conditions I mentioned last time, either let me be your book boy, or let me be Erlang's book boy."
"no."
His attitude has not changed, he is still decisive and leaves no room for others.
Wang Yu's face suddenly fell and he was very frustrated. His little hand on Li Yuan's shoulder bent and he wanted to pinch it hard.
Smelly old man, stubborn old man, why are you so stubborn?
Li Yuan turned to look at Wang Yu and saw her ferocious expression. He could still vaguely hear the sound of grinding her teeth and snickered in his heart. When he walked to the meeting hall, he put Wang Yu on the ground and said seriously: "It's not impossible for you to want to be a book boy."
..."
Wang Yu looked at him with bright eyes.
"Well...as long as you accept a challenge and memorize twenty books in two months..."
"no problem."
Li Yuan glanced at her and said, "Listen to me."
Wang Yu shut up obediently and looked at Li Yuan eagerly like a child begging for candy, obediently and expectantly.
"I will choose these twenty books. Every three days I will send someone to give you a book after breakfast. You must recite it to me before dinner that day. There must be no more than three mistakes in each book. If you do not recite it,
There was no dinner.
"Of course, as long as you fail to memorize even one book, your challenge will be considered a failure, and you won't be able to mention being a book boy again. There's no chance.
"That means you only have one day to endorse, and the remaining two days to rest."
Wang Yu asked: "You wouldn't choose thick, obscure books for me to memorize, would you?"
This question must be asked clearly, we cannot suffer the consequences of being dumb.
"You are clever." Li Yuan laughed and said, "Of course not."
However, it is based on his standards...
Wang Yu thought for a while, and with her memory, it should be no problem to memorize an ancient text within twelve hours. Besides, she still had two days to rest, so she could take it slow, otherwise she would be dizzy if she memorized ancient texts every day.
Can't find North.
"Okay, I accept this challenge, but Mr. Tang must keep his word."
"That's natural."
Wang Yu stretched out his right hand towards Li Yuan: "High five as an oath."
Li Yuan smiled and stretched out his right hand, high-fived her, and then walked into the meeting hall. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he turned back and warned Wang Yu: "Before you pass the challenge, you are not allowed to sneak into the meeting hall or my study.
"Otherwise all promises will be void."
Wang Yu pursed his lips and agreed reluctantly: "Okay."
Li Yuan was satisfied.
Li Shimin gave Wang Yu a meaningful look and led everyone into the meeting hall.
Before Qin Qiong went in, she quickly said to Wang Yu, "Wait for me outside, I have something to tell you."
Therefore, Wang Yu waited boredly for Qin Qiong in the pavilion outside. It was not until half an hour later that they walked out of the meeting hall one after another.
Duan Zhixuan was the fastest runner. He ran up to Wang Yu in a flash and patted Wang Yu heavily on the shoulder: "I know you are very loyal. You actually gave the reward for meritorious service to the three of us. Thank you very much."
Wang Yu rubbed his shoulders and said angrily: "Thank you, no need. Just don't pat me so hard in the future."
Duan Zhixuan glanced at her shoulder and said with a stern expression: "Haha, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are not in good health."
Wang Yu was furious when he heard this: "Who is not in good health? You are not in good health."
Caught off guard, a child yelled at him. Duan Zhixuan jumped back in fright and grabbed Tang Jian: "It's too scary. The ancients said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. You really don't deceive me."
"You deserve it." Tang Jian laughed at Duan Zhixuan unceremoniously: "By the way, aren't you going to buy a hairpin for your sweetheart? Why don't you go?"
"Yes, I have to leave. See you later." Duan Zhixuan ran away again.
Wang Yu asked Tang Jian curiously: "Isn't Duan Zhixuan not married yet? Where did he find his sweetheart?"
"You can't have a girl you like without getting married?" Tang Jian picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine: "He, when he first came to Taiyuan, he met a young lady and fell in love with her at first sight. He also said that he would only love her in his life.
If a person doesn't marry other than that little lady, he will cling to that little lady shamelessly if nothing happens."
"The so-called love at first sight is all about lust." Wang Yu said disdainfully.
"Yo!"
Tang Jian put down the wine gourd, glanced at Wang Yu's face twice, and clicked his tongue: "Wang Yu, I discovered an advantage in you."
Wang Yu was so frightened by what he saw that he asked anxiously: "What are the advantages?"
"Although you are young, sometimes what you say is really to the point and full of the profound meaning of life."
I thought he was going to say something, but it turned out that he was talking about this. Wang Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't see Qin Qiong standing not far away, and her face suddenly darkened after hearing her words.
I don’t know what kind of people Erlang came into contact with when he was wandering around, but he spoke like a veteran who has been through romantic situations.
"Erlang, come with me." Qin Qiong came over.
Hearing the title "Erlang", Wang Yu didn't react for a moment. After she reacted, she showed a sincere smile to Qin Qiong: "Hey, brother, can I discuss something with you?"
Qin Qiong: "Say."
"Brother, can you please stop calling me Erlang from now on? Everyone calls Li Erlang that way, so as not to call me confused. In the future, just like Tang Jian and the others, just call me Wang Yu."
Qin Qiong frowned: "It's okay not to call you Erlang, but why should I call you Wang Yu?
"Your surname is Qin, so you should be called Qin Yu."
Wang Yu: "..."
