He agreed, so he could cancel the engagement and still work as a middleman to earn the difference, so why not do it!

Soon he also figured out that this poetry meeting was organized by Hu Weiyong's daughter.

Li You took over as his fiancé in order to please her.

In fact, their marriage was just a deal made by Hu Weiyong to maintain his interest relationship with Li Shanchang!

But this is what he is happy to see, so that he will be more confident about breaking off the engagement.

…

Soon the day of the poetry meeting came.

He and Xu Huizu agreed to meet at the Imperial College, but Xu Huizu brought a baggage with him.

"for you!"

"What is this?" Zhang Muzhi asked curiously.

"I see that we are about the same size, so I brought you some clothes!" Xu Huizu said, "Don't misunderstand that this is not for you. You will have to return it to me after the poetry meeting!"

"Shouldn't it be a reward to me? Are you short of this little money?" Zhang Muzhi touched the material. It was really excellent fabric!

"The money in my family was earned by my father's hard work, so of course we can't spend it carelessly!"

"You are not like those dandy boys. It is really rare!"

"Okay, don't be poor, quickly change your clothes and go!"

After changing clothes in the carriage, the two drove to the location of the poetry meeting.

By the time they arrived, Li You and others were already warming wine on the boat, and the dozen or so people present were naturally the sons of powerful men.

"Dalang of the Xu family, you are late. You will have to write three poems in a while!" Li You took the lead in attacking.

Xu Huizu snorted and turned to sit aside.

The others burst out laughing when they saw this.

"Who is this person you brought today? We have never seen him before?" Hu Peng said to Hu Weiyong during the dinner.

Xu Huizu said nothing with a straight face.

"I'm Zhang Muzhi!"

"Oh? I don't know which family you are from, but we have never met you? How about you introduce your family name so that everyone can get to know each other?"

"No need, I know everything about him!" Li You said, "He is just a pancake seller in the Imperial College who was hired by the Xu family to make up the numbers!"

Xu Huizu had a sullen face and said nothing. He wished he could go up and slap Li You twice.

"Master Xu, you are too careless. How can you just find a cat or a dog to make up the numbers? We will play Feihua Ling later. If he doesn't punish you with his drink, he will punish you!"

This sentence of "cat and dog" really made Zhang Muzhi unbearable. He was about to stand up and have a fit, but Xu Huizu stopped him.

"Okay! I drank all his wine!"

At this time, a painting boat was approaching not far away, and standing on the bow were two beautiful and lovely women.

"Look, it's Miss Hu, Hu Ying, and the 'girls' of the Xu family."

They were talking about none other than Xu Miaoyun, Hu Weiyong's daughter and Xu Da's eldest daughter.

"What are you talking about?"

"We are about to play Feihua Ling, sister, why don't you say something!" Hu Peng said.

Hu Ying took up her pen and wrote down the word "month", "Why don't you start with the word "month"?

"Okay!" Li You said, "It's as white as snow on the mountain and as bright as the moon among the clouds. It's from Zhuo Wenjun's "White Head Song"!"

"I'm coming!" Hu Peng said hurriedly, "The high autumn wind in August is roaring and rolling up the triple thatch on my house!"

"That's right! This is from Du Fu's "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind"!" Xu Miaoyun nodded and said, "Let me say something!"

"The moon in the sea sheds tears, and the jade in the blue field sheds smoke under the warm sun!"

"As expected of a female student, this is Li Shangyin's poem!"

Everyone was talking to each other, and when it was Xu Huizu's turn, there were no poems like "Moonlight on the Bedside" to express points.

"It's time for Da Lang of the Xu family. He must have thought about it for such a long time!"

Everyone was waiting to see Xu Huizu's joke. Xu Huizu looked at Xu Miaoyun on one side.

Xu Miaoyun blinked and expressed that she was helpless. He was the one who insisted on making her look fat. Others had finished talking about the "moon" in her stomach.

"What? Can't think of anything?"

"Then let's have a drink!"

Everyone automatically ignored Zhang Muzhi, no one thought he could answer.

Xu Huizu picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses of wine.

"And his three glasses!"

Li You and others said, "You are late and you will be punished with three drinks!"

"Brother!" Xu Miaoyun pushed him, "If you drink too much, you will be scolded when you go home!"

Zhang Muzhi couldn't stand it anymore, so he said, "Wait a minute, he doesn't need to drink my three cups!"

Everyone laughed as if they had heard a joke.

"What did you say? How can you, a stall owner, answer that?"

"If you can answer it, each of us will punish ourselves with eight cups!" Li You said.

"What are you doing, telling you to stop talking!" Xu Huizu glared at him.

"Okay! A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"

"What are you doing?" Xu Huizu whispered.

Zhang Muzhi stood up and said, "Everyone, listen up!"

Everyone shook their heads, waiting to see Xu Huizu and Zhang Muzhi's joke.

"In May, the katydids move their legs, in June, the partridges flutter their feathers, in July, they are in the wild, in August, they are in the house, in September, they are indoors, and in October, crickets come under my bed."

Everyone's uninhibited laughter suddenly stopped.

"In the sixth month, we eat eucalyptus and bean sprouts, in the seventh month, we eat kuih and bean sprouts, in the eighth month we peel jujubes, and in the tenth month we harvest rice. This is the spring wine to promote our longevity. In the seventh month, we eat melons, in the eighth month we eat the pots, and in the ninth month we harvest the jujubes." Tea and firewood are used to feed my farmers." Zhang Muzhi said, "This is my answer for the Xu family's elder brother!"

The wine glasses and fruits in everyone's hands were hanging in the air, their eyes widened, their mouths sucked in cold air, and they looked incredible.

"This, this, this...how is this possible?"

Xu Miaoyun nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is from the Book of Songs "Guofeng·Binfeng·July"!"

"Exactly this one!"

Xu Huizu also looked at him in disbelief, "How could you..."
