"Whose son is that? Why have I never seen him before?"
"This young man is so lucky! He is really enviable to others!"
"You don't know how to live or die! You even dare to snatch my hydrangea! Damn it, I must make you look good!"
"…………"
There was a lot of discussion in the hall instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi stared blankly at the hydrangea in her hand, but she kept smiling bitterly in her heart, "Is this called losing something in the east and reaping it in the mulberry tree? Or is it a failure in officialdom but a triumph in love?"
At this time, Liu Hanyi also reacted. He walked quickly to Liu Ruyi, patted Liu Ruyi hard on the shoulder, stretched out his thumb, and sighed: "Brother, I really made a mistake! I thought that
Brother, you are a young boy, I didn’t expect you to be an expert in this! Brother, I admire you, I admire you!"
"Brother, this, this is just a misunderstanding..."
Liu Ruyi was about to explain, but Liu Hanyi grabbed Liu Ruyi's arm and said with a bad smile: "Brother, I understand, brother understands! We'd better hurry up and see the 'Chun Master' now! Brother Wei is really happy this time
Brother, let’s shine! Haha!”
After saying that, he pulled Liu Ruyi straight to the high platform.
At this time, the noisy crowd naturally gave way to a path, and within a short time, Liu Ruyi and his wife had arrived at the open space under the high platform.
Liu Ruyi was standing at the back of the crowd just now, and no one could see Liu Ruyi's appearance clearly. Now, when Liu Ruyi came closer, everyone's eyes lit up!
Song Xuezhu, the censor of the patrol, even clapped his hands and exclaimed, "This young man is so handsome! He is really a handsome young man!"
At this time, a smart little maid came down from the stairs on one side of the high platform. She held a small note in her hand and gently handed it to Liu Ruyi's hand, "Young Master, this is my girl's question. Young Master, can you
Compose an impromptu poem! If the young master can pass this test, my girl will sweep the bed to welcome him!"
Liu Ruyi took the note blankly, opened it gently, and saw only a small, delicate character written on it, "Autumn!"
Liu Ruyi was about to say something, but saw that the maid had already stepped up the stairs and walked back to the high platform. Liu Ruyi couldn't help but curse in her heart: "What the hell is this? How can I write poetry? Isn't this bullying?"
"Brother, why don't I give you this hydrangea? Didn't you say that you have admired everyone in Mu Chun for a long time? Brother, I gave the opportunity to you!" Liu Ruyi whispered to Liu Hanyi beside him.
"Huh?" Liu Hanyi was stunned for a moment, jumped out a few steps away, and distanced himself from Liu Ruyi. He smiled and said: "Brother, other things are easy to talk about, but I can't help you with this matter!
Hehe, brother, please wish yourself well, brother is just waiting to see you hug the beauty back home!"
"..." Liu Ruyi couldn't help but secretly despise him, but there was nothing she could do about it!
At this point, things were done, and the raw rice was almost ready to be cooked. Liu Ruyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry on.
At this time, the crowd began to become restless, and one of the wealthy gentry with a loud voice said loudly: "Young man, what topic are you asking this spring? Can you let us know a little bit about it?"
"That's right, that's right! Young man, it's better to have fun alone than to have everyone happy! Happy events must be shared with everyone!" Another wealthy gentleman dressed as an elegant Confucian scholar also said.
Liu Ruyi hurriedly bowed to everyone and gave a salute to everyone, and handed the note in his hand to Liu Hanyi who was standing aside, "Thank you, seniors, I'm thinking of you! Can you please let your brother read this topic for you?"
The elegant gentleman stroked his chin and nodded gently, "Not bad, not bad! Children can be taught!"
Everyone on the side also nodded.
In this era, there is a large circle of scholars, and this poetry competition is like the examination in later generations. It is more fair to let others read the questions. And Liu Hanyi is not a pure scholar, but also
Jinan's local snake, it is best for him to do this.
Liu Hanyi took the note and read out the contents directly without being polite.
Suddenly, everyone in the hall started talking softly again.
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in military power!
If Liu Ruyi can come up with a stunning sentence at this time, then everyone will be convinced and a romantic story will be spread among the people! On the contrary, if Liu Ruyi's knowledge is shallow and does not satisfy people, then it will be a fluke in the end.
When a beautiful woman returns, she will definitely teach others how to handle her.
No wonder the sages once sighed, "I dream of Yangzhou for ten years and win the reputation of a brothel!"
This is such a circle.
Liu Ruyi frowned, but his mind was working rapidly. It was already the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Tang poetry and Song poetry were definitely out of reach, so he could only think about it later! However, Liu Ruyi was born in a pure engineering background, and Tang poetry
I can’t even remember a few Song poems, let alone Braid Chao.
"How can this happen?" Before he knew it, Liu Ruyi's forehead was covered with a layer of dense sweat. Even if there were a bunch of Manchu Tatars in front of him, Liu Ruyi would not be so nervous, but this
Yin Feng Nong Yue really put Liu Ruyi in a bit of a dilemma!
At this time, a frivolous voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, "Brother, if you don't have that diamond, don't take this porcelain job! If brother can give this red hydrangea to someone, someone will solve it for me."
How about this?"
When Liu Ruyi heard this, she turned around sharply, only to see several young men in Chinese clothes walking towards her. The leader was a tall man, dressed in jade robes, with a majestic look, but a pair of sinister eyes!
But the person who spoke was not him, but another young man in colorful clothes beside him. This man was not tall and handsome, but his figure was a little thin and his steps were a bit frivolous. He could tell at a glance that he was drunk and lustful.
Because of excessiveness. He looked at Liu Ruyi with a joking face, his eyes full of contempt, as if he had lost his identity after saying a few words to Liu Ruyi.
"Mr. Fang? It's Mr. Fang!" A cry came from the crowd!
"Hello, Mr. Fang!"
"I've met Master Fang!"
Everyone moved out of the way and bowed and saluted to the leading young man!
Zhang Laocai, the boss of Lubei Commercial Bank, was the most exaggerated. His body was like a fat pig, but he didn't know when he became more agile than an ape. Before anyone could see clearly, he had already rushed to Mr. Fang's side, with a look on his face.
The flattering smile was ten thousand times more kissable than when he met his biological father. He wanted to kneel on the ground immediately and lick the heels of Mr. Fang's shoes.
At this time, even the big shots at the main table could not sit still. Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, took the lead. They all stood up and nodded to Mr. Fang.
But Mr. Fang didn't show the slightest hint of humility. He just bowed his hands and nodded in return, but the adults didn't take it seriously at all, as if that was how things should be.
However, when Young Master Fang walked up to Xiao Mowen, the head of the Xiao family, a smile finally appeared on his cold face, "Xiao Shibo, my nephew has something to do at home, so he is a little late. I would like to ask Xiao Shibo to take care of me!"
Xiao Mowen quickly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! My dear nephew, please come and take a seat!"
Mr. Fang smiled and nodded, and sat down on the main table unceremoniously. Then, he turned to the young man in Chinese clothes who had just spoken and said, "Brother Chao Min, weren't you just interested in composing poems? Since
All the gentlemen and friends are here today. You can compose a poem to congratulate all the distinguished guests present! But don’t lose face!"
Mr. Fang accentuated his tone for the last sentence!
"Yes, Mr. Fang, you can rest assured!" The young man in Chinese clothes, known as "Chao Min", bowed respectfully to Mr. Fang and walked in the direction of Liu Ruyi.
"Brother, who is this Mr. Fang? How could it be..." Liu Ruyi was not interested in the young man in rich clothes at all, but was a little curious about Mr. Fang, and hurriedly asked Liu Hanyi beside him quietly.
Liu Hanyi's expression changed when he heard this, and he was obviously quite wary of this young master. He pulled Liu Ruyi aside and whispered: "This man is the eldest son of the Huaibei family and a disciple of Yang Sichang, the chief minister of the cabinet. He is not our brother.
If he can't afford to provoke him, we should try to stay as far away from him as possible!"
"Oh? Even so, you shouldn't be so arrogant, right? You don't even look down on these adults!" Liu Ruyi asked in a low voice.
Liu Hanyi looked around and found that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so he explained in a low voice: "His mother is Lord Wanli's favorite daughter—Princess Danyang! The Fang family is the largest salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty.
, more than half of the Lianghuai salt industry is under the control of the Fang family. Compared with it, the Xiao family can't even match 10% of it! Brother, this matter is already serious. If we can take a step back, we can take a step back! There is no need to do it for
A woman touched Mr. Fang’s brow!"
Liu Ruyi nodded thoughtfully, "Brother, don't worry, I know what's going on!"
At this time, the young man in colorful clothes had already walked up to Liu Ruyi and said arrogantly: "How do you think? Have you thought about it? Give me this hydrangea quickly. It will also save you from making a fool of yourself in front of these distinguished guests. How about it?"
He was only tall enough to reach Liu Ruyi's chin, and he had to raise his head to see Liu Ruyi's eyes when speaking. However, he did not realize this. Instead, he was like an aggressive rooster, condescendingly waiting for Liu Ruyi's response!
The clay figurine is still very angry, let alone a young and energetic young man like Liu Ruyi?
If he came over politely and explained the matter clearly, it would be fine even if Liu Ruyi gave him the hydrangea, and both parties would be able to form a good relationship!
But since he doesn't regard himself as a human being, how can Liu Ruyi give him a good look?
"Brother, are you talking to me?" Liu Ruyi glanced at him pretending to be innocent.
"Nonsense! I'm not talking to you. Are you talking to pigs and dogs?" Seeing that Liu Ruyi was unmoved, the young man in Chinese clothes couldn't help but tone his tone a little more domineering, as if the earth should be surrounded by
He turned average.
"Are there any pigs or dogs here?" Liu Ruyi looked around innocently, "Brother, I think you are young, you should not be old enough to be dazzled, right?"
"You! You!" The young man in gorgeous clothes never expected that Liu Ruyi would not give him face. He pointed his finger hard at the tip of Liu Ruyi's nose and was speechless for a long time.
Liu Ruyi didn't look at his expression at all. She moved his arm to the side with a casual move. She pretended to be curious and looked at his body up and down for a while before saying with concern: "Brother,
Do you have a hidden disease? A disease needs to be treated! If you hide the disease and avoid medical treatment, it will cost your life! Brother, I know a few famous doctors in Jinan Prefecture, how about I introduce a few to you? "
