"Hmph! You really have a guilty conscience!"

When Wang Wenhan saw this, not only was he not angry, but he even sneered.

Confidently, he took off the jade from his waist and patted it on the tea table, saying, "This jade is an ancestral treasure of my Wang family. It is worth at least a thousand coins! I will bet it with you today!"

"Can your jade be worth a thousand coins?"

Jiang Chen looked at the piece of jade with a suspicious look on his face.

Seeing this, Zhang Hongwen thought Jiang Chen was looking for an excuse to evade, so he took off the jade bracelet from his waist and placed it on the table:

"Although my jade is not a family heirloom, it was bought by my grandfather for more than 500 guan as a gift. Add it all up to 1000 guan for you. Now you have no reason to shirk it, right?"

…

Um?

"What are they doing?"

As soon as Censor Chen Cisheng and Gong Fu walked out of Dongertiao Tianshui Lane, they saw Jiang Chen and Wang Wenhan blocking the door of Lu's Clothing Store, and couldn't help but walked over with curiosity on their faces.

But before they could enter the door, Zhang Yuexin couldn't help but press forward to Jiang Chen step by step:

"If you don't dare to compare, you can leave the clothes and take that woman with you to apologize to Mrs. Ben Hanlin! We will ignore the faults of villains and spare you this time!"

"Apologize?"

Jiang Chen shook his head in a funny way and said calmly to Wang Wenhan: "Since you want to humiliate yourself, let's start! Please!"

"Humph! It's not certain who brings humiliation to himself!"

Wang Wenhan glanced at Jiang Chen disdainfully.

He secretly said proudly: In order to prepare for this year's lotus appreciation banquet, Ben Hanlin had carefully prepared a lotus poem.

I planned to be a blockbuster when the time came, but today I'm going to kill the chicken with a sledgehammer, to let you know what it means to be someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world!

snort!

Thinking so confidently, Wang Wenhan pretended to take six steps out, then clapped his hands suddenly and laughed with an exaggerated expression:

"I have it! Listen carefully:

Three hot days, counting hair and beard,

The water spreads for ten miles and smells the fragrance of lotus. The orchid boat's diagonal cable is hanging down. I lean on my pillow to the pavilion and talk to someone over a glass of wine..."

"good!"

"What a poem! A poem in six steps. My brother-in-law is really talented!"

"This double-tone poem about lotus is a rare masterpiece, enough to be included in the Hanlin Poetry Collection!"

"..."

After Wang Wenhan finished chanting one of his poems, everyone cheered. Even Chen Shengzhi and Gong Fu, who had just walked into the store, nodded and praised: "No wonder Wang Hanlin was able to stay in the library, he is really talented!"

"Thank you two royal censors for your compliments!"

Wang Wenhan bowed respectfully to Chen Cisheng and Gong Fu, with a look of pride on his face.

After unfolding the fan with a snap, he looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Shaojian, it's your turn now! Please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuexin said to Jiang Chen with a proud face: "If you think you can't compare to my officials, just admit defeat! We will never make things difficult for you!"

"Yeah, it's better to admit defeat quickly!

My brother-in-law's two-tone poem, even I, can't compose a poem that can compete with it at the moment, let alone you, a minister who is not even a Jinshi! Why do you need to humiliate yourself?"

Zhang Hongwen had full confidence in Wang Wenhan's poetry and mocked Jiang Chen with a proud look on his face.

As his voice fell, Zhang Yue'e also proudly said to Jiang Chen: "Hurry up and admit defeat, you can't compete with my brother-in-law! It's better to hand over Qian Guan as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment!!"

well!

It’s really noisy!

Jiang Chen shook his head impatiently, then put one hand behind his back and chanted loudly:

"The beautiful water is fragrant for ten miles across the pond, and the water flowers are still and fragrant in the evening.

The rouge snow melts into the water, and the emerald plate is high and glows in the night.

The mountains are far away, the moon is long, the dusk clouds and autumn shadows dip into Xiaoxiang.

The drunken soul should chase Lingbo's dream and share the west wind with the coolness of this night."

…

hiss--

After an incredible gasp of air-conditioning, the whole Lu's clothing store could hear needles drop, and there was silence.

Everyone was stunned by this most famous poem about lotuses in the Yuan Dynasty!

Liu Yueniang, Xiang'er and several young ladies wearing power fences stared at Jiang Chen for a while with their beautiful eyes shining.

Even the third sister-in-law of the Pan family and others who did not understand poetry felt that listening to this poem was extremely enjoyable and comfortable, and they could not help but draw a beautiful picture in their minds.

But Wang Wenhan was dumbfounded. The proud look on his face disappeared instantly, and a deep sense of frustration arose in his heart: How is this possible? How could he have such poetic talent at such a young age?

While he was in despair, his wife Zhang Yuexin looked at Jiang Chen carefully with disbelief:

How could he be so young and more talented than the officials?

How could the bad guy find such a good husband?

Why is she just a concubine?

Is it true that she is engaged to Jiang Chen?

Why have I never heard my father talk about it?

After Zhang Yuexin secretly compared the thirty-year-old Wang Wenhan with the young and handsome Jiang Chen, she couldn't help but become jealous and crazy.

Also going crazy and unhappy was Zhang Yue'e. At this moment, she and her second brother Zhang Hongwen both had expressions of despair, looking at Jiang Chen blankly, unable to say a word.

Not only them, but also the censor Chen Cisheng and Gong Fu closed their mouths after opening their mouths several times.

Although they really wanted to praise Jiang Chen's poem, the poem was so good that they didn't dare to comment easily.

I am thinking about what kind of evaluation I should give to this poem about the lotus.

Jiang Chen picked up the two pieces of jade placed on the table and stuffed them into the hands of Wang Wenhan and Zhang Hongwen respectively, and said with a magnanimous face:

"A gentleman does not take away someone's beauty, not to mention that these are the relics of your elders, so today's bet is just a joke! I just hope that you will be more polite in the future and don't insult my wife again!"

"Farewell!"

After Jiang Chen said that, he left casually.

Liu Yueniang, Xiang'er and Liu Yuanli immediately followed them with pride on their faces and disappeared from everyone's sight in a moment.

this……

Zhang Hongwen and Wang Wenhan blushed with embarrassment.

Not only was he not grateful for Jiang Chen's generosity, he also completely hated Jiang Chen.

They knew that what happened today would spread throughout the capital along with Jiang Chen's poem about the Lotus. By then, Jiang Chen would be a generous gentleman praised by everyone, and the two of them would be shameless clowns.

.

After realizing this, the two of them looked at each other and turned pale!

However, Gong Fu admired Jiang Chen's behavior and said to his close friend Chen Cisheng: "Jiang Chen has both political integrity and talent at a young age. If he can pass the official examination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he can be regarded as a promising talent.

!”

"That's what I was thinking! I will definitely find an opportunity to persuade him someday. We must not let such a talent ruin his future because of the Wang family's affairs."

Chen Cisheng nodded in agreement and left Lu's clothing store with Gong Fu.
