"Since I have spent money, whose name I want to sign depends on my preference." Huangfu Jingyu looked arrogant and picked up the wine glass in his hand, "What's more, if Lian Xin didn't take that poem from your hands,
After buying it, can you open the wine shop? Is this your attitude towards your benefactor?"
benefactor?
Chu Ling smiled and shook her head.
Chu Ling never thought of Huangfu Jingyu's strong words. Buying and selling poems was a consensual matter. How could a benefactor say anything about it?
Even if Lian Xin didn't buy the poem at the beginning, Chu Ling had other ways to stop drinking and start drinking, which was just to waste some time. Since there was a good choice, why didn't Chu Ling use it?
Huangfu Jingyu's words reminded Chu Ling of a passage: The bottom level abides by the rules, the middle level uses the rules, and the top level is the rules. Some things are destined from the beginning.
"Why don't you speak?"
Huangfu Jingyu continued: "After drinking, we can do a lot of business and attract a large number of people. Isn't it because of the glory of the Wangyou Lake Poetry Club? If he didn't have the name of the leader of Zhaoyan Academy, who would know Chu Lingzhi in Shangdu?
name?"
Chu Ling did not deny this.
If he had not been named the first leader of the primary election by Zhaoyan Academy, and was also the first leader of the Wangyou Lake Poetry Society, he would not have attracted a large number of drinkers after drinking.
"By saying so much, does the princess want Chu to participate in the Wangyou Lake Poetry Recital?"
Chu Ling lifted up the sleeves of her robe and looked at Huangfu Jingyu with her deep eyes.
Huangfu Jingyu'e frowned slightly. She didn't like the look in Chu Ling's eyes. It made her feel as if she had been stripped naked and exposed in front of Chu Ling. Chu Ling could see what she was thinking.
Inadvertently, Huangfu Jingyu's jade cheeks developed a slight blush.
"I don't have any!"
Huangfu Jingyu paused at the wine glass and said.
"But that's exactly what Princess Shicai said."
Chu Ling said calmly.
"If I say no, it means no!"
Huangfu Jingyu said arrogantly.
Even though she said so, there was something else in her heart. Indeed, Huangfu Jingyu did have the idea of letting Chu Ling participate in the Wangyou Lake Poetry Club, otherwise she would not have invited Chu Ling over.
One is to see how Chu Ling will perform when he participates in the Wangyou Lake Poetry Festival. Although Chu Ling has made it clear before that he has something to do with Duke Shun, Huangfu Jingyu doesn't completely believe it.
After all, Li Yunshu is involved.
If Huangfu Jingyu dared to find out that Chu Ling was faking, she would definitely intervene in the matter.
Huangfu Jingyu, who was born in the Tian family, simply did not believe that there were people in the world who did not pursue fame and fortune. This was simply too rare.
One is that Chu Ling is indeed talented. The poems he wrote successively made Huangfu Jingyu feel very strong. If Chu Ling can withstand her test, then Huangfu Jingyu will want to recommend Chu Ling. A great talent like this is in the
It is simply a waste for private people to open a tavern.
Even though Huangfu Jingyu is born as a girl, she has a broad mind and a strong sense of family and country. She hopes that the Feng Dynasty can become stronger and stronger, instead of being limited to certain struggles.
"There is no best."
Seeing Huangfu Jingyu's eyes dodge, Chu Ling picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Princess's words are always worth a thousand pieces of gold. I will give you a glass of wine for the princess."
"you!!"
How could Huangfu Jingyu not hear Chu Ling's metaphors? No one has dared to reject her like this in her entire life, and Chu Ling is the first!
"It's time for me to make up my mind."
Huangfu Jingyu, who was originally angry, suddenly laughed and looked at Chu Ling, "I suddenly feel that it is very interesting for you to participate in the Wangyou Lake Poetry Festival."
Liu Chengfeng had a look of astonishment on his face, as if he was seeing Huangfu Jingyu for the first time, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
This was the first time he had seen Huangfu Jingyu in such a posture.
Sensing something, Huangfu Jingyu glared at Liu Chengfeng. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Why do you keep watching but don't know how to help?
"Brother Chu, actually attending the Wangyou Lake Poetry Festival is an opportunity."
Liu Chengfeng coughed twice, raised his robe and looked at Chu Ling, "Since the primary election has changed because of you, why not go to Wangyou Lake to participate in the final election? Maybe there will be a big opportunity waiting for Brother Chu?"
"Brother Liu's kindness is appreciated by Chu."
Chu Ling smiled slightly and said: "There is no such thing as a good thing in the world. Chu is just a common person and cannot withstand the temptation. But Chu is still timid and just wants to be free and easy without being tainted by right and wrong. So this Wangyou Lake Poetry
Yes, Chu does not intend to participate."
Huangfu Jingyu smiled.
Is Chu Ling timid?
No one in the world would dare to do this, but Chu Ling did it. Not only did he do it, the key thing was that he didn't scorn the Duke of Shun.
"Are you timid?"
Huangfu Jingyu raised his brows slightly, suppressed his smile and said, "If you were really timid, why didn't you leave the marriage certificate when you were in Duke Shun's mansion? You said that Mrs. Duke Shun didn't respect you and didn't like that feeling.
, did you know that respect requires equal strength to give?
Do you know that Brother Liu, whom you are calling, has said that he will marry the only daughter of Duke Shun? Everyone in the court knows this. You don’t really think that you can marry the only daughter of Duke Shun with a marriage certificate.
Bar?"
"Princess, you are drunk."
Liu Chengfeng frowned slightly and looked at Huangfu Jingyu.
"I am not drunk!"
Huangfu Jingyu slapped the case and said: "These words...I have been holding it in my heart for a long time. Liu Chengfeng, if you are truly a man, you should fight openly and openly instead of being silent here.
You are not as good as Chu Ling in this regard.
Chu Ling originally wanted to break off the engagement and had no intention of getting into a relationship with Duke Shun, but the words of Duke Shun made Chu Ling dislike it, so he decided..."
That’s what happened.
Looking at the emotional Huangfu Jingyu, Chu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. No wonder he felt a little hostility from Liu Chengfeng at first.
It turns out that Liu Chengfeng likes the only daughter of Duke Shun.
At this moment, Chu Ling and Liu Chengfeng's eyes met. From Liu Chengfeng's eyes, Chu Ling saw hesitation and hesitation.
"As for you, Chu Ling!"
Huangfu Jingyu's piercing eyes looked at Chu Ling and said: "You want to win respect, why? Just by that sentence that rises to the sky? I'm afraid it's not enough.
I have just said that respect requires equal strength.
How can a tavern alone, no matter how good the wine is, be on par with the Duke of Shunguo?
Since you want to keep the marriage certificate, I would like to advise you that the Wangyou Lake Poetry Festival is a great opportunity. If you don't want to participate, you should leave Xanadu as soon as possible. Some things are not as simple as you think."
The atmosphere in Lanyuan became subtle.
When Xiang Ruonan saw this scene, she felt panic in her heart. Huangfu Jingyu's aura was so strong that she had never experienced it before.
"Ha ha!!"
Chu Ling clasped her hands and laughed.
"The princess is right, respect requires equal strength."
Chu Ling stood up slowly, lifted her robe and looked at Huangfu Jingyu, "Chu doesn't deny this, but whether Chu has strength or not, you don't need to look at other people's faces.
As for the big opportunity or leaving Xanadu, Chu has never thought about it. What Chu wants to do and what he doesn't want to do all depends on his heart.
Chu had something else to do, so he left first. When he was free, Chu went to a banquet after drinking, invited the princess and Brother Liu to the banquet, and then took his leave."
"Wait a moment."
Liu Chengfeng stood up and looked at Chu Ling.
"Brother Liu, is there anything else?"
Facing Liu Chengfeng's gaze, Chu Ling said calmly.
"Brother Chu, please take this house deed."
Liu Chengfeng took out something from his arms and walked towards Chu Ling, "Although I was very angry when I found out that you had an engagement with Duke Shun, I know that Brother Chu was not at fault in this matter. Since Brother Chu
If you want to stay in Xanadu, you still need to have property, but that doesn’t mean I will give up.”
At this moment, Liu Chengfeng's eyes were firm.
"Since Brother Liu doesn't want to give up, why should he give Chu a house deed?"
Chu Ling did not pick it up, but looked at Liu Chengfeng with a smile, "Brother Liu should keep this house deed. Chu is not in the habit of reaching out to ask for things."
What Liu Chengfeng said made Chu Ling know that something had happened without his knowledge, otherwise Liu Chengfeng would not have taken the house deed.
Liu Chengfeng did not use this house deed to plan anything else, but it proved in disguise that he was an upright gentleman.
"Aren't you afraid that I will drive you away?"
Liu Chengfeng said in shock.
"Not afraid."
Chu Ling replied: "If Brother Liu really did that, he would not be Liu Chengfeng. Although Mr. Chu doesn't know what happened, Mr. Chu knows one thing. Brother Liu is a gentleman and disdains to do such things."
"A gentleman?"
Liu Chengfeng shook his head with a smile, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart disappeared.
"Brother Chu, I want to make a bet with you."
Liu Chengfeng's eyes were firm, he raised his hand and saluted Chu Ling, and said in a sonorous tone: "In addition to the top candidates from the seven academies, there are seven other people who can participate in the final selection of the Wangyou Lake Poetry Society. I had no intention of participating before, but
I want to compete with Brother Chu. If I can beat Brother Chu, I will tear up the marriage letter. If I don’t beat Brother Chu, I will let Brother Chu make any demands."
Chu Ling sighed softly.
Like the bet proposed by Liu Chengfeng, if it were anyone else, Chu Ling would not pay attention at all, but it happened to be Liu Chengfeng.
Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Chengfeng, Chu Ling knew that Liu Chengfeng was a gentleman and had no disrespect towards him.
As the only son of Duke Enguo, with a background like Liu Chengfeng's, no matter what he wanted to do, there would be a large number of people willing to do it.
"Brother Liu, does it have to be like this?"
Chu Ling was a little helpless and looked at Liu Chengfeng and said: "Actually, living under the eyes of others is a very painful thing. Brother Liu wants to..."
"Limited to this matter."
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If Brother Chu feels it's rude, you can refuse."
"Interesting, interesting!"
Huangfu Jingyu stood up with a smile and walked towards Chu Ling and the others, "Chu Ling, would you like me to have a bet with you?"
"Does the princess also admire Duke Shun's only daughter?"
Chu Ling looked at Huangfu Jingyu and said something shocking.
"Chu Ling!!!"
Huangfu Jingyu said angrily.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh.
In Xanadu, Chu Ling is probably the only one who dares to do this to Huangfu Jingyu.
"Just pretend Chu didn't say anything."
Chu Ling waved her hands and said.
"If you participate in the Wangyou Lake Poetry Club, and if you really win against Liuchengfeng, no matter what kind of turmoil it creates, I will protect you."
Huangfu Jingyu snorted coldly, looked at Chu Ling and said, "If I hadn't won Liu Chengfeng, I would not have gotten involved in the grudges between you. But you, Chu Ling, want to accept my conquest, how about it?"
Chu Ling smiled and said: "Princess, isn't this called a bet?"
"Whatever you think."
Huangfu Jingyu waved his hand and said, "You just said you want to accept it?"
"Brother Liu, do you think Chu will accept it?"
Chu Ling looked at Liucheng Fengdao.
"This is a bet between me and you, why do you need to ask him?"
Huangfu Jingyu glared.
"Better not accept it."
But Liu Chengfeng said: "If Brother Chu really defeats me, and if there is any trouble, the Duke of Enguo is willing to protect Brother Chu."
"Liuchengfeng!!!"
"I accept Brother Liu's bet."
Under Huangfu Jingyu's dissatisfaction, Chu Ling accepted the bet with Liu Chengfeng.
"This house deed will be taken by Mr. Chu."
Chu Ling stepped forward and took the house deed from Liu Chengfeng's hand, "If Chu beats Brother Liu, this house deed will be considered Brother Liu's loss to Chu."
With that said, Chu Ling raised her hand and saluted, then turned and left. Seeing this, Xiang Ruonan hurriedly followed Chu Ling.
"He actually agreed?"
Looking at Chu Ling's leaving figure, Huangfu Jingyu was a little stunned.
"yes."
Liu Chengfeng said with a serious expression.
"Then why didn't he accept my bet?"
Huangfu Jingyu frowned.
"Because of respect."
Liucheng Feng's words are concise and concise.
Watching Chu Ling's retreating back, Liu Chengfeng ignited his fighting spirit, even though he knew that it would be very difficult to win against Chu Ling.
Liu Chengfeng boasted that he could not compare with the few poems Chu Ling had written before. Talents like Chu Ling were really rare.
But he's willing to give it a try.
…
"Sir, haven't you ever thought about participating in the Wangyou Lake Poetry Club?" Xiang Ruonan followed closely behind Chu Ling and walked towards the outside of the princess's house. Thinking of what happened just now, he looked at Chu Ling with doubts on his face.
"I never thought about participating."
Chu Ling said as he walked.
Xiang Ruonan was puzzled, "That young master..."
"Why did you accept Liu Chengfeng's bet?"
Chu Ling asked with a smile.
"Um."
Xiang Ruonan nodded.
Chu Ling said: "Because he deserves respect."
respect?
Xiang Ruonan was a little confused, she didn't understand what this respect meant.
Chu Ling walked forward. If it hadn't been for this banquet, he really wouldn't have known that Liu Chengfeng and Shun Guogong's only daughter would have such a relationship.
However, although Liu Chengfeng knew about this, he did not use his so-called power or status to do anything to bully others so as to force himself to hand over the marriage certificate. This alone deserves Chu Ling's respect.
If Liu Chengfeng, the only son of the dignified benefactor, really wants to do something, no matter how extreme it is, nothing will happen to him.
Chu Ling never thought about marrying the only daughter of Duke Shun.
Not from beginning to end.
The reason why he proposed to marry the only daughter of Duke Shun in front of Huangfu Yunling was that he couldn't stand Huangfu Yunling's domineering attitude. Why do you mean what you say?
Respect requires equal strength.
Duke Shun's government is very strong, but this does not mean that you can do whatever you want!
"Do you think I can beat Liu Chengfeng?"
When leaving the princess mansion, Chu Ling looked at Xiang Ruonan with a smile.
"Young master can win!"
Xiang Ruonan's eyes were firm and he spoke.
"Then let me lend you some good words." Chu Ling smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
Before leaving, Chu Ling turned around and looked at the princess mansion, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, there are some things that you can definitely get if you don't force them!
