"Gao Gan is of the same generation as us, but he is only a few months younger than me, so he is my fourth brother's cousin." Yuan Tan said with a smile.

Zhang Lang looked at Gao Gan, cupped his fists and said, "Cousin."

Gao Gan nodded and looked at the cousin who was taller than him. He was a little confused: It seems that this cousin Yuan Mai doesn't seem to be a arrogant and unreasonable person, but why...?

Then he said to Zhang Lang: "Cousin Yuan Mai, I want to talk to you alone."

Both Yuan Tan and Xu Cheng were a little surprised. Yuan Tan smiled and said: "In that case, Mr. Xu, you and I will go and meet the others." Xu Cheng smiled and clasped his fists and said: "I have this intention as well." So the two of them said.

Then he left and walked towards the group of Luoyang talents not far away.

Zhang Lang looked at Gao Gan and asked, "What does my cousin want to say to me?"

Gao Gan asked seriously: "I heard that my cousin had a conflict with my aunt?"

"Aunt?" Zhang Lang didn't understand who he was talking about for a moment, but he soon understood that since Gao Gan was a cousin of the Yuan family, the aunt he was talking about was naturally his father's wife, Mrs. Liu.

Zhang Lang touched his chin and asked, "Why is my cousin asking me these questions? Did someone say something to you?"

Gao Gan frowned and said: "Cousin, don't care who said this to me, just answer my question. Did you have a conflict with your aunt?"

Zhang Lang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I don't think it is a conflict, but if someone thinks it must be a conflict, then so be it."

When Gao Gan heard Zhang Lang's words, he thought he had admitted it. His face immediately fell and he said in a deep voice: "The way of heaven is constant, and loyalty and filial piety come first! We stand between heaven and earth, and we must adhere to the two words of loyalty and filial piety!

Although my aunt is not my cousin's biological mother, she is my biological mother and is no different from my biological mother. How can my cousin be rude to my biological mother? How is this behavior any different from an animal? If outsiders know about it, my cousin will be shameless in the world.

It’s time!”

Zhang Lang felt depressed and amused when he saw him teaching him such a righteous lesson.

He may want to defend himself, but the cause and effect of this matter cannot be revealed casually, and there is no basis for it now. Telling it will be of no use except making him more passive.

As soon as he thought about it, he simply stopped explaining. He glanced at the senior official with an upright face, nodded helplessly and said: "I have remembered my cousin's lesson!"

Zhang Lang had already guessed that this cousin with an excessive sense of justice must have been instigated by Mrs. Liu to cause trouble for him, and his intention should be to cause a fight between the two. In this case, he could not let Mrs. Liu succeed.

Gao Gan frowned even more after hearing Zhang Lang's words, because he could tell that Zhang Lang's words were not sincere and were just perfunctory.

He said sternly: "Since my cousin thinks that what Brother Yu taught me is right, I should go to my aunt to plead guilty and ask for my aunt's forgiveness!"

Zhang Lang couldn't help but get angry and sneered: "You want me to go and apologize to her? Don't even think about it!..."

The senior official didn't expect Zhang Lang to refuse so categorically, and couldn't help being stunned. Then he burst into anger and shouted: "How dare you be so disobedient and unfilial!"

Zhang Lang mocked: "It would be better if my father said this! You are not qualified to do so!"

Gao Gan glared at Zhang Lang angrily, having already made up his mind.

At this time, everyone around them also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere between the two of them, and they all cast concerned and doubtful glances.

"Master Cai has arrived! Miss Cai has arrived!..." a servant sang loudly.

The originally noisy lakeside suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on a father and daughter walking not far away.

I saw the father, dressed in a silver-white crane cloak, with a fairy-like demeanor, an elegant demeanor, and a smile on his face, which gave people a very friendly feeling.

The daughter walking next to him was wearing a lavender fur coat and a snow-white fox fur cloak with a hood. She had red lips and white teeth, and was stunningly beautiful.

Under the reflection of the night, it gives people a feeling of illusion and reality, and people can't help but wonder whether she is a fairy or a fox demon?

Zhang Lang immediately knew that the father and daughter must be the protagonists of this gathering, Cai Yongcai, the great scholar, and his world-famous daughter, Cai Yan.

Zhang Lang felt a little surprised and muttered: "There is such a beautiful and talented woman?!" After a pause, he frowned slightly and said: "I am probably half as beautiful as Yueying, but it's a pity that she is too arrogant, which makes people stay away from her.

ah!"

"I've seen Master Cai! I've seen Miss Cai!" All the guests present, regardless of their background, paid their respects one after another.

Cai Yong laughed and said, "You guys don't have to be polite!" Cai Yanze smiled and said, "You gentlemen are here, and my humble home will be filled with splendor! Today we are gathered here to make friends with poems and essays. I hope you guys can give me some advice."

!”

Yuan Xi took a step forward and said with a laugh: "Young lady is so self-effacing! Your young lady is the most talented in the world, so we should be the ones to ask her for advice! I only hope that the poems and essays we wrote today can gain your appreciation!"

"

Many people rushed to agree.

Cai Yan looked at Yuan Xi and saw that Yuan Xi was tall and handsome. His eyes suddenly lit up and he felt a little good in his heart. He couldn't help but give Yuan Xi a slight blessing and asked: "I wonder what I call this young master?"

When Yuan Xi saw that Cai Yan was paying attention to him, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately returned the greeting with clasped fists: "My Excellency, Yuan Xi, I am honored to see the young lady's unparalleled beauty!"

Cai Yan's heart moved and he smiled and said: "It turns out he is Mr. Yuan Xi. No wonder his demeanor and conversation are so extraordinary."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Miss, you are too praised."

Cai Yan glanced at Yuan Xi again, then raised his delicate hand and patted it, only to hear two crisp sounds.

When many maids filed in with wine and delicacies, entered the corridor along the lake, placed the wine and food on the table that had been prepared in advance, and then left. The scene was suddenly filled with the refreshing fragrance of the wine and food.

.

Cai Yan smiled and said loudly: "How can there be poetry without fine wine? Everyone, please take a seat!"

Everyone walked into the corridor and took their seats. Zhang Lang casually found a table next to Zhang Kong and sat down. Although this so-called grand event had not officially started yet, Zhang Lang already felt a little bored.

Xu Cheng came over, sat behind the desk next to him, and came towards Zhang Lang, staring at Cai Yan who was so graceful and stunning in the snowy scenery in the distance, and said with a look of amazement: "I've heard of Miss Cai a long time ago.

I have such a good reputation, but I didn’t expect that it would be so beautiful!”

Zhang Lang smiled knowing that Xu Cheng's old habit had returned.

At this time, Cai Yong and his daughter walked into the waterside pavilion surrounded by corridors in the lake and sat down, just like the bright moon surrounded by stars. There was also a singing platform next to the waterside pavilion, which was not small in size.

I wonder if it provides a place for people to recite poems and compose poems.

Cai Yan raised his voice and said: "Today's snow scene is rare, our first topic is..."

"Miss! I have an unkind favor!" Gao Gan suddenly raised his voice.
Chapter completed!
