Chapter 3963 A thousand gold is hard to win a beautiful woman laughs
I've been haggling for a lifetime and finally lost. What happened today? It's been a bad year. I signed a contract to sell myself, and my ability to bargain has also declined.
"Okay, shopkeeper, I'll be honest with you."
Long Chen accepted the defeat and cut the three thousand to eighty. Long Chen thought that he had reached the limit and he would really fall out if he cut the shopkeeper again. Unexpectedly, he seriously underestimated him.
Two hairpins cost one hundred silver coins, and the boss could probably earn him more than seventy with tears in his eyes.
"It must be intentional." Long Chen gritted his teeth and came out of the shop. Yu Qingxuan was already holding Long Chen's arm, laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up straight.
It was probably because Long Chen's triumphant look after successfully bargaining made the shopkeeper unhappy. This was to teach him a lesson and let him get another hairpin just to tell him: you are still too young.
But when I saw Yu Qingxuan smiling so hard, everything was worth it. It's hard to buy a beautiful woman with a lot of money, so this money was not wasted.
"Little brother, I see that you have a full heaven, a square pavilion, and piercing eyes. Why don't you come to the small shop and have a look. Our shop is full of old objects from ancient times. How about you come and have some eyes?" An old man stood at the door of a shop.
He greeted me warmly, and it turned out to be an antique store.
Long Chen glanced at the store, then at the old man, and said angrily: "The oldest thing in this store is you, senior."
"Kekeke..."
Yu Qingxuan smiled sweetly again. She also saw that the old objects here were basically imitations, but what Long Chen said was so interesting. Being with Long Chen always made her very happy.
"Someone is looking for a bride in Shuxiang Street, come and see her!" Suddenly someone on the street exclaimed, and countless people immediately ran forward.
"Let's go take a look too!" Yu Qingxuan pulled Long Chen and ran forward.
"You silly girl, what are we going to see? Do you want to help me get married?" Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Let's see, it doesn't matter." Yu Qingxuan was not angry, and pulled Long Chen forward with a smile.
Soon, a large group of people appeared in front of them, and there was a high platform in front of them. On the high platform were two beautiful girls in their twenties.
"Hehe, this is a wedding stage, but it's a literary move, not a martial arts move. It's similar to a martial arts competition. These two women must also have extraordinary backgrounds. Did you see the couplets in their hands?" Yu Qingxuan said with a smile.
.
Long Chen then looked at the hands of the two girls. Sure enough, both of them were holding a couplet, which read:
"One big arrogance, two little arrogances, three inches of golden lotus and four inches of waist, five, six or seven taels of rouge, and eight or nine are dressed very pretty."
It turns out that these two women are twin sisters, named Dajiao and Xiaojiao respectively, hence this couplet.
The two women were looking at the crowd. When they saw several Hanlin students appearing in the crowd, their beautiful eyes suddenly shone.
"This couplet was made by my father. If anyone can match it, my two sisters are willing to serve you always." One of the two women said.
I have to say that these two women are not only good-looking, but also have beautiful voices. They are very delicate and very exciting.
The few Hanlin students suddenly became interested, walked to the stage, looked at the couplets in the woman's hands, and began to think hard.
"It's difficult, it's too difficult. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety appears in the first couplet, so the second couplet must be reversed. It's even more difficult." A Hanlin student sighed, thinking that he couldn't do it right.
.
Other Hanlin students also shook their heads. It is not difficult to correctly pronounce the second couplet, but when it comes to the couplets, not only must they rhyme neatly, but they must also be in line with the time and circumstances, so as to match the charm of the couplets.
They are all Hanlin bachelors, and they are either wrong. Once they are right, if someone picks out the flaws, it will be a huge loss. It is better to admit that they are not right.
"Is this thing difficult? So many people can't stand it?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
Long Chen originally said this to Yu Qingxuan, but he never wanted to be heard by the people around him. Yu Qingxuan was also thinking about how to respond to this couplet. Before she could speak, someone had already sneered:
"You are so arrogant that even a dignified Hanlin scholar can't do it. Do you think it's difficult? If it's not difficult, why don't you take a look at it?"
The man who sneered was also a scholar. When he saw the huge long sword on Long Chen's back, he knew that Long Chen was a martial artist. When he saw Long Chen's arrogant words, he couldn't help but sneered.
His voice was so loud that everyone around him heard it, and everyone looked at Long Chen.
The reason why these people focused on Long Chen was because Yu Qingxuan used magic. Only Long Chen could see her face clearly. When others saw Yu Qingxuan, they could only see that she was a very ordinary-looking woman.
"Is it you? You are the boy who dared to be disrespectful to the Master and made such nonsense at the fairy concert that day." Soon someone recognized Long Chen.
Most of the people here were scholars, and these people immediately raised their eyebrows at Long Chen, and seemed to be attacking in groups.
"Hehe, Long Chen, match the couplet to make them mad." Yu Qingxuan said with a smile.
After getting Yu Qingxuan's approval, Long Chen looked at the people around him. Six of the seven Hanlin students stared at him, and only one was still thinking hard, as if he was still thinking about how to pair the couplets.
This is a scholarly street, with lights brightly lit day and night, and a bright moon hanging high in the sky. Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan walked around for a long time, and until now at night, they were at a loss to know that it was almost dawn.
After taking a look at the surrounding situation, Long Chen calmly chanted: "Nineteen moons are eight-quarters round, seven Hanlins and six are ashamed, five o'clock and three o'clock, the two prides will return with me alone."
After Long Chen finished speaking, everyone present was dumbfounded. This couplet was neat and appropriate to the situation, and it was almost perfect.
By the time everyone reacted from the shock, Long Chen had already pulled Yu Qingxuan away, leaving only the stunned people.
"Hehe, you are so powerful. If you give up martial arts and follow literature, you will be comparable to the master in less than ten years, no, in less than seven years." Yu Qingxuan held Long Chen's hand, with a look of admiration on her pretty face.
.
"By the way, Qingxuan, what does that master do?" Long Chen asked.
"Master, he is the most knowledgeable person in the Suzaku Empire. There are three masters in our empire, and two of them are always in the Confucius Courtyard and rarely leave the house.
Only Master Sun traveled far and wide, taught everywhere, recruited many disciples, and often came to the palace to teach us.
To be honest, he speaks in an old-fashioned way, which makes people uncomfortable, but in theory, the master is on the same level as the emperor, so when we see him, we must salute as disciples."
Yu Qingxuan felt a little aggrieved. For Yu Qingxuan, a kind-hearted and easy-going person, to evaluate someone like this, it can basically be concluded that this wife is not a good person.
"What kind of master do you dare to make my Qingxuan suffer? When I see him, I will beat him into a grandson." Long Chen said angrily.
Long Chen's words immediately made Yu Qingxuan smile. Soon it was dawn, and Yu Qingxuan had to return to the palace. She could only say goodbye to Long Chen. Before leaving, her eyes were full of reluctance.
Qingxuan returned to the palace. The laughter and laughter along the way slowly disappeared. Qingxuan left, and Long Chen suddenly felt lonely.
"No, we have to speed up the process."
Long Chen went straight to Princess Qianxue's Mansion. When he came to the door of the mansion, Long Chen showed his nameplate, and the guards at the door immediately led Long Chen inside.
After passing through two gates in succession, he came to an open field. Long Chen frowned, and a strong man holding a spear appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
It was a man with red hair and amazing energy. He pointed his spear at Long Chen with disdain on his face:
"It's not that simple to see the princess. I'll give you two choices. One is to beat me and let you pass. The other is to get under my crotch."
"I think there is another way, and that is to walk over your body."
Long Chen looked at the man. His behavior aroused Long Chen's murderous intention.
