Liu Jun looked a little nervous. He stood at the counter in the tavern and looked at the people gathered. He had never encountered such a battle in his life.
Duke Enguo's Mansion and Duke Shun Guo's Mansion, such an admirable existence broke into his world, which made Liu Jun feel like he was dreaming.
It feels very unreal.
Where did Mr. Chu Ling come from?
Liu Jun, who was feeling uneasy, looked at Chu Ling who was sitting there. He really wanted to know how the generous Mr. Chu Ling did it.
"Since no one is talking, just leave on your own."
Chu Ling lifted up the sleeves of her robe, glanced at Liu Chengfeng, Li Qian, and Li Kun, and said in a calm tone: "The tavern hasn't opened yet, I have other things to do..."
"etc!"
Li Qian rubbed his wrist, glared at Jun Hanlin, gritted his teeth and said to Chu Ling: "Our accounts haven't been settled yet, why should I listen to you!"
Liu Chengfeng frowned slightly. The attitude shown by Li Qian told him that Chu Lingding had a grudge against Duke Shun Guo, but he still didn't know what the grudge was.
Ever since the Wangyou Lake Poetry Competition was held, Liu Chengfeng had been busy commenting on the participating poems. It was normal for him not to know some things about Xanadu.
"Brother Liu, why did you come to the practice workshop?"
As soon as Li Qian finished speaking, Li Kun, who was sitting next to him, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a smile, "I remember that Zhaoyan Academy opened a painting boat at Wangyou Lake, and Brother Liu was responsible for commenting on the poems that participated in the preliminary selection. ?”
When asking these questions, Li Kun glanced at Lian Xin from the corner of his eye.
Today, his eldest brother came to find Chu Ling, just to ask him to hand over the marriage certificate and disappear from the city as soon as possible. Li Kun did not expect that Liu Chengfeng and Lian Xin would be there.
No one in Shangdu knew that his elder sister had a very good relationship with the third princess, and Liu Chengfeng had even said that he wanted to marry his elder sister. This was precisely the case, so Li Kun had to keep control.
"Of course I'm here to see Chu Ling."
Liu Chengfeng turned his rosary and looked at Li Qian and Li Kun, "What do you mean by raising an army to find Chu Ling like this?"
"Brother Liu, do you know..."
"It's okay, I just have something to do with him."
Li Qian, who was a little surprised, subconsciously answered Liu Chengfeng's question, but was grabbed by Li Qian. This scene made Lian Xin beside him alert.
"Since you all have something to talk about, just stay."
Chu Ling lifted her robe and stood up, ignoring Liu Chengfeng and the others. She stretched out her hand and said to Liu Jun: "Shopkeeper Liu, entertain these guests and remember to collect the money."
"Yes Yes."
Liu Jun nodded hurriedly and responded.
After explaining this, Chu Ling looked at Jun Hanlin and said, "Come with me."
"stop!"
"Brother Chu~"
Seeing that Chu Ling was about to leave, Li Qian became angry and Liu Chengfeng got up, wanting to stop Chu Ling, but Chu Ling didn't care at all.
Jun Hanlin, who was carrying the wine jar, glanced at Li Qian and the others, showed a half-smiling look, and followed Chu Ling towards the backyard.
"If you keep Liu Jun, aren't you afraid that the little bully from Duke Shun's mansion will demolish the tavern you open?"
Looking at Chu Ling's back, Jun Hanlin raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There are not many people in the government who dare to provoke Duke Shun."
"He will not."
Chu Ling walked forward without stopping, "With Liu Chengfeng here, even if he really wants to demolish it, Li Kun who is following him will stop him."
"How did you know that Liu Chengfeng has such a reputation?"
Jun Hanlin smiled.
"It's obvious."
Chu Ling spoke concisely and concisely.
Chu Ling was not surprised at all by the arrival of Li Qian and Li Kun. After all, if he said such words in the Shunguo Duke's Mansion, it meant that he was ignoring the dignity of the Shunguo Duke's Mansion.
But for a wealthy family standing in the clouds, it is absolutely intolerable.
How dare a puny ant refuse?
Chu Ling has never denied that he is insignificant. This is the fact. Compared with the wealthy and powerful people in Xanadu, he is indeed much inferior.
It was just Huangfu Yunling's attitude that made Chu Ling very unhappy.
Originally, he went to Shunguo Duke's Mansion just to break off the engagement, to put an end to this farce, and to explore the past of his master.
To be able to enter into a marriage contract with Duke Shun Guo, his master must be extraordinary.
This is a very simple matter, at least that's what Chu Ling thinks. As long as Huangfu Yunling's attitude is better, there won't be any surprises.
But the accident happened anyway.
Chu Ling has not humbled herself to that level.
"Master Chu~"
Lian Xin's voice sounded outside the room.
"come in."
Hearing Chu Ling's voice, Lian Xin walked into the room and saw Jun Hanlin staring at her with a half-smile. Lian Xin'e frowned slightly and felt a little unhappy.
"Why are you here with me?"
Chu Ling lifted up her robe sleeves and looked at Lian Xin, "Does your young master still want to buy poems?"
During Liu Chengfeng's visit this time, Chu Ling noticed something strange about Lian Xin's behavior. I'm afraid the book boy was disguised as a man, which he hadn't noticed before.
"That's not true."
Lian Xin lowered her head slightly and said.
"Then you can go."
Chu Ling said with a calm expression: "Send a message to your young master for me. Since the poems were sold to him for a hundred gold, you must be moral. You want to use this method to bring me to the Wangyou Lake Poetry Recital. This is a good idea." The abacus was wrong."
Lian Xin, who wanted to explain, felt unhappy when she heard what Chu Ling said.
"Master Chu, please respect yourself!"
Lian Xinjiao shouted: "Since Mr. Chu's poem has been sold, the decision on how to deal with it lies with my son, not Mr. Chu.
The Wangyou Lake Poetry Society has attracted much attention. I don’t know how many talents gathered in Xanadu, hoping to get comments from the great scholars of the seven major academies and compete for the top spot in the preliminary selection of each academy in order to be among the finalists of the Wangyou Lake Poetry Society.
My young master admired the talent of Mr. Chu, so he published the poem in the name of Mr. Chu at the Zhaoyan Academy. It was highly praised by Mr. Jiang. Mr. Chu not only did not appreciate it, but also criticized him so arbitrarily. Is it right?"
This maid is quite articulate.
Chu Ling looked at Lian Xin with a half-smile, but he also heard what he wanted to hear.
it is as expected.
That Duguhan and Liuchengfeng must be familiar with each other.
Otherwise, even if you want to publish poems, you will not choose Zhaoyan Academy to open a painting boat at Wangyou Lake. Things are getting more and more interesting.
"Listening to what you said, it was me who was wrong?"
Chu Ling gathered her thoughts and looked at Lian Xin.
You must be wrong!
Lian Xin did not answer, but secretly said in her heart.
"In that case, I will give you a poem as an apology to your young master."
Chu Ling picked up an envelope, stood up and walked towards Lian Xin, "But I hope this poem will not appear at the Wangyou Lake Poetry Club again."
Um?
Lian Xin looked at Chu Ling in shock and subconsciously reached out to take the envelope. Chu Ling's behavior was something she did not expect.
"I still have something to do, please go first."
With a smile on her face, Chu Ling looked at Lian Xin and extended her hand to indicate.
"Uh...okay~"
Lian Xin made a gesture and walked out, but halfway through, she remembered that she came here because she wanted to ask Chu Ling something, but Chu Ling didn't give her a chance at all.
When Lian Xin wanted to turn around, Chu Ling closed the door and almost touched Lian Xin's nose.
"Ha ha……"
The hearty laughter coming from the room made Lian Xin a little angry. She took the envelope and walked out of the tavern. She wanted to tell her princess what she saw and heard today truthfully.
"Chu Ling, you are clearly trying to play with fire."
Jun Hanlin leaned on the Grand Master's chair and pointed at Chu Ling, "Is this your way of counterattacking Duke Shun Guo's Mansion?"
"You think too much."
Chu Ling smiled slightly, lifted up her robe and sat down, "Since someone wants to add fuel to the flames, I'll add some variables. Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about you."
"I?"
Jun Hanlin hugged the wine jar, leaned forward, and said with a slight smile: "What do I have to talk about? I'm just a ranger who lives all over the world."
"Is it really that simple?"
Chu Ling looked at Jun Hanlin, "My eyes are infallible."
"Haha~"
Jun Hanlin smiled and shook his head, stood up and said: "It's okay not to mention the past, but I decided not to leave. The secret you hide seems to be more interesting than mine. It is very suitable for drinking."
