"Seriously?" Mr. Mo bowed slightly and asked tentatively.
Mr. Deng nodded and motioned Mr. Mo to look there, in the direction of... Lan Chen.
"He? He looks just ordinary. I'm afraid he looked at us because I'm handsome, right?"
"Maybe." Mr. Deng shrugged. Perhaps Mr. Mo was less arrogant and more obedient, so he explained kindly, "I always feel that he is a bit weird. Just pay more attention to him during the competition later."
"I know, Mr. Deng."
On the other side, Lan Chen was trying his best to suppress his pounding heart when he felt Mr. Mo's gaze coming towards him.
His intuition was telling him that that person was a cheater!
He didn't want to be targeted by a strong person before he even started. This feeling was really uncomfortable, and he felt better after shivering a few times.
In order to get rid of the surveillance-like gaze as soon as possible, Lan Chen pretended to be warm and approached a young man. "This young man looks familiar. Could it be that he is from a foreign country?"
"This? No. Instead, I just met the young master." He looked at Lan Chen warily.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"I am the son of the dean of Qineng Private School, Zhao Sien..."
"Wow!" Lan Chen recounted the past enthusiastically, "It turns out to be Young Master Zhao! No wonder he looks so familiar, me, me! I am that one... that one!"
Seeing that he couldn't make up any more nonsense, Lan Chen had no choice but to hold his shoulders tightly and continue talking loudly.
Those who didn't know thought they were familiar with each other.
This move also gradually dispelled Mr. Deng's attention to Lan Chen.
Under various ulterior motives and the confusion of Zhao Si'en, a man in gorgeous clothes greeted the wooden platform.
"Who is this? Those eyebrows, those eyes, tsk. They look really strange."
"You came here to compete and you don't know who he is?" Zhao Sien tried to poke Lan Chen away with his elbow, but he couldn't move.
Zhao Si'en is said to be crying without tears. He doesn't know Lan Chen at all, so he was dragged into chatting for so long.
"deny."
"The head of the Sun Mansion, Sun Fanfeng."
Lan Chen frowned and was so surprised that he let go of Zhao Sien and said with a look of disbelief, "He is the head of the Sun Mansion, Sun Miaomiao's father?"
"Exactly."
"Okay." Lan Chen smiled bitterly. The father and daughter looked really different.
Sun Fanfeng's appearance is unforgettable, not because of how majestic he looks, but because of his sinister eyebrows and rat-like face, which vaguely resembles a weasel.
He was not tall, was slightly stooped, and lacked the dignity of the head of the family. It was really difficult to relate to Sun Miaomiao, and it was a pity that Sun Miaomiao looked like her mother.
As if he saw something, Zhao Sien whispered, "Although the son-in-law of the Sun family must be me, I see that I am destined to be with you, so I quietly tell you that people should not be judged by their appearance. Especially someone like Uncle Sun, who knows everything about foreign business and internal affairs.
With the Sun Mansion in his hands, it will be a meteoric rise!"
Before Lan Chen could ask why, Sun Fanfeng's voice also sounded.
There's something loud and clear between the tips, and although it's a bit weird, there's something so powerful that people can't help but pay attention and listen to what he's saying.
"Thank you all."
"Thank you all, gentlemen, from Huadu, from foreign countries, and from all over the world. Thank you for coming to participate in the competition for my little daughter, Sun Miaomiao, to find a bride."
"My little daughter Sun Miaomiao has also reached the age of marriage, so the Sun Mansion specially invites all the young talents and Guangzhi Tianxia Dao to come and compete to find a bride."
"The content of the competition is divided into literary test and martial arts test. The winner of both will be able to marry his daughter."
"Miaomiao, come here."
Sun Miaomiao had no choice but to stand up and walk to Sun Fanfeng's side. She was a little depressed at first, but when she stood on the stage, she could clearly see Lan Chen's appearance below, and she inadvertently smiled.
That smile touched everyone in the audience.
Many people kept shouting regardless of their status.
Sun Fanfeng smiled. He was worried that Sun Miaomiao would cause trouble. Now it's better. It seems that Sun Miaomiao accepted it.
He immediately said happily, "Only those who are both civil and military can be worthy of my little girl! Then I am looking forward to your performance!"
"The first round, the literary test! There are three questions in total."
"The first question is, everyone knows that flower cities produce flower wine, so let's use 'wine' as the title and recite an impromptu poem! Gentlemen, please rack your brains, hahaha!"
Finally, Sun Fanfeng motioned to Sun Miaomiao to go back to the corner together.
People at the table were talking and laughing, some were lively and some were flattering.
In addition to the father and daughter, there were several other people sitting on the chairs. They were either from the Sun family or distinguished guests of the Sun family.
One of them is familiar to me, it is Xiaofeng who likes to wear a veil.
When she saw Lan Chen in the audience, Xiaofeng was slightly startled, her pupils filled with surprise and panic.
But it was only fleeting. After a moment of reaction, there was only a slight sense of loss. In order to cover up this feeling, he raised his head and cast his eyes into the distance.
But it's a pity.
Lan Chen didn't pay too much attention to this.
When I saw Xiaofeng from the beginning, it was not much different from what I had guessed, so there was no big surprise.
Instead, what caught Lan Chen's attention was an old man, with whom the two juniors of the Sun family were very close.
Maybe it's an elder in the clan, or maybe it's the 'ancestor' in Sun Miaomiao's words - this competition was held just to make him happy, otherwise the marriage would have been confirmed long ago.
But at this time, he didn't pay attention to anyone, he just thought in his heart...
That's it?
The so-called competition to recruit a bride, the so-called first question in the literary test, is this it?
Then he won't be polite.
As soon as the thought came to mind, Lan Chen subconsciously looked around, then gave up the thought completely and decided to observe the formation first.
because......
Taking a breath, he really racked his brains to come up with a description - those clear eyes revealed stupidity.
His unabashed stupidity looks like a fool, a silly roe deer.
Lan Chen asked Zhao Sien in surprise, "Is it difficult?"
"It's difficult, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky. Reciting poems and reciting poems, and using 'wine' as the title. Alas. I thought it was about writing a question about the type of strange energy."
Lan Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he reacted a little.
How prosperous poetry, lyrics, and poetry were, they just took advantage of the "imperial examination" east wind.
Now that he is able to take charge, this is the best way to advance to the official career.
It's possible to recite it, but...it's not as grand as the Tang poetry and Song poetry in Lan Chen's mind!
The first warrior to ‘charge into battle’ for love appears.
Seeing a man, he took a big step and chanted "Wine, wine, wine!"
"How many times have I been drinking wine, but it's still... But it's still sober in the world. The flower of wine and wine, the Tao is also in heaven and earth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was sparse applause.
Several people on the stage nodded in praise, while others were slightly dissatisfied.
Before Lan Chen could react, more and more crappy poems were recited one after another.
No counterpoint, no rhyme, no rhythm, no soul of poetry!
Finally, Mr. Mo finally arrived.
Even Lan Chen is looking forward to it. If he is really a cheater, he already knows the test questions and is fully prepared.
That is to say, you should choose the general from the dwarf - take advantage of the shortcomings.
Otherwise, Lan Chen would almost go crazy. What kind of poem is this!
