When Yang Ning said the second line, everyone in the venue had different reactions.

The "Carefree Talent" Hao Mengyang and the "Qingzheng Talent" Wen Qianshi were surprised at first, pondered for a while, and then showed expressions of admiration. Most of the Gongsheng scholars present looked confused, and only a few began to react. Showing an expression of admiration.

Ying'er even had a confused look on her face. She looked up to see everyone's reaction, and then looked at Yang Ning, full of doubts as to whether Yang Ning was right.

Princess Yongning looked at Yang Ning in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Good! What a 'collection of ancient and modern art, and put it on my mountain window'! What a right, good couplet, and so bold!" Mr. Guo was the first to applaud.

"Amitabha, although this little benefactor is just a book boy, he is very talented in literature. This couplet combines the masterpieces of ancient and modern famous artists, and the momentum is not inferior to this 'Nine Scenery Couplet'. What a rare genius!" Monk Fakong praised loudly and did not hesitate to praise!

At this time, Zhang Wenkang's face was ashen, and he stood there for a long time before he said in a solemn voice: "You win!"

As he spoke, he took out a few banknotes from his arms, picked one worth one thousand taels and handed it to Yang Ning. Yang Ning took it with a smile, handed it to Princess Yongning respectfully with both hands, and said: "Master, this is my little one." The pocket money I earned for you! Speaking of which, I have never seen such a small bank note with such a large denomination. You must check the authenticity carefully, sir!"

Anger flashed on Zhang Wenkang's face and he said: "I am willing to admit defeat in my bet, so how can I fool you with a fake banknote? This banknote is issued from Baotong Bank, the largest of the four major banks in the world. It is genuine and can be redeemed immediately. There is absolutely no problem, just don’t worry!”

"Very good!" Yang Ning nodded in approval, and turned to Ying'er, who was still in a daze, and said: "Ying'er, keep this 'huge sum' of money, we will still be counting on it to pay the bill later!"

The corners of Zhang Wenkang's mouth twitched.

"Zhang Dacai, don't feel bad. Otherwise, I will give you another chance. I will make a first couplet. If you can match it, I will return you these one thousand taels. If you can't, you will give me another couplet." How about losing me a thousand taels?" Yang Ning smiled and said to Zhang Wenkang, with a standard "Wolf Grandma" expression!

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. I am afraid that this kid has got into the eyes of money. He talks about money. Winning a thousand taels is not enough. He has to win other people's money.

The smile on Zhang Wenkang's face had returned at this time, and he realized that he could not lose his grace in front of everyone, even though his heart was bleeding all the time.

One thousand taels! It was gone in the blink of an eye! If his father knew about this, why wouldn't he scold himself to death? Now that he heard Yang Ning say this, he couldn't help but feel happy. The book boy just matched his couplet, so I'm afraid he won that With the guidance of the handsome young master, and with my own ability in matching, what couplet can stump me? If I can match this boy's couplet, I can win back the one thousand taels!

Zhang Wenkang had a wishful thinking in his heart, but he didn't think about what to do if he couldn't stand up to him. Then he would lose another thousand taels!

"Why, you don't dare anymore?" Yang Ning came to provoke Zhang Wenkang again. He could see that these so-called "literati" were more concerned about face than heaven. They could not lose face even if they sacrificed their lives and money!

"Okay, let me show you your absolute strength!" Upon hearing Yang Ning's words, Zhang Wenkang agreed. There was no other way. If he didn't agree, wouldn't he be admitting that he was not sure he could match Yang Ning's couplet? What's more? The important thing is that he wants to win back the one thousand taels of silver.

"Happily, I like Mr. Zhang's bold character, so listen carefully, my first couplet is -!"

"slow!"

Yang Ning was about to say the first couplet that he had thought about for a long time, but was interrupted by this sound. The person who spoke was the "carefree talented man" Hao Mengyang.

"Brother, I want to join in the fun. If I can't forgive you, how about I lose you a thousand taels?" Hao Mengyang said as he gently shook his folding fan, his expression indescribably cool.

"Haha, okay, welcome! Who else is interested, please come together?" Although Yang Ning was a little disgusted with Hao Mengyang's pretense, he would not refuse. Someone gave money for nothing, so why should he turn it away?

Outside!

Looking around, no one said anything. Yang Ning looked at the "upright scholar" Wen Qianshi and said with a smile: "Master Wen, don't you want to join us?"

Wen Qianshi looked a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "I--, although I have a little extra money, it is far inferior to Brother Zhang and Brother Hao, so I won't...!"

"Ha, I understand!" Yang Ning couldn't help but smile. This Wen Qianshi is really cute and upright!

"Two talented men, it seems that there are only three of us. I was wrong. In fact, the name of my first couplet is based on the name of this restaurant. It is very simple, it is "A guest in a natural place, but a guest in the sky"!"

As soon as the first confrontation came out, everyone was stunned again, including the old monk Pakong, who fell into deep thought.

Yang Ning no longer paid attention to everyone's expressions. At this time, all the dishes he ordered were served. He greeted Princess Yongning and started eating. After spending a long time salivating, he was really hungry.

Princess Yongning was not in the mood to eat. In this short period of time, Yang Ning gave her such a shock. She had never known that Yang Ning had such a high level of couplets. Not only did she easily compete with the very difficult "Nine

"Scenery couplet", he used the name of the restaurant to improvise, but the "palindrome couplet" he came up with was even more difficult, and he couldn't think of a suitable second couplet at the moment.

Ying'er was at the side but said anxiously: "You are still thinking about eating. If any of them come out, you will have to compensate them two thousand taels. Where can you get another thousand taels of silver?"

Yang Ning was concentrating on dealing with a plate of "Crystal Hoofs". When he heard this, he said disdainfully: "Stupid! Why should I pay two thousand taels? Of course, whoever comes up will pay the money to whom! Even if someone comes out against each other,

The worst case scenario is that we can just return this thousand taels!"

Ying'er immediately retorted: "What if two people are against each other?"

Yang Ning was stunned, he had ignored this, then he would really have to pay a thousand taels of silver. Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "If that's really the case, I'll give you, stupid girl, to others."

, don’t you think that ‘little pretty face’ is quite handsome? This is exactly what you want!”

"you--!"

Ying'er was angered by Yang Ning's words again, and Princess Yongning quickly comforted her: "Okay, Ying'er, you are still so angry knowing that he is playing with you. The angrier you are, the happier he will be! However,

Yang Ning, it’s really too risky for you to play this pair. Although this pair is very difficult, we don’t rule out the possibility that someone will come up to us. If it’s like what Ying’er said, it will be troublesome!”

Yang Ning said nonchalantly: "I have seen their level just now. Princess, don't worry, they can't match this couplet!"

Of course Yang Ning was confident. The first couplet he wrote was when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty saw a teahouse also called "Tiantianju" when he was incognito. He asked Ji Xiaolan, a famous scholar at the time, to come and answer it.

With Ji Xiaolan's quick thinking and wit, he couldn't even come up with a couplets for a while, let alone the so-called "talents" in front of him!

Things turned out as Yang Ning expected. After waiting for a long time, Zhang Wenkang and Hao Mengyang had to admit that they were sorry. And no one present could tell them. The scribe surnamed Guo must not be sorry either, so he looked at them squarely.

He looked at Yang Ning with burning eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Wenkang's hands were trembling when he handed over the banknote. In comparison, Hao Mengyang, the "Carefree Talent", was as good as his name, and he was really carefree.
