On the next day, Liu Mingzhi's face froze, and he forgot that he had not taken a fan out for a long time since autumn.
In my heart, I complained a little bit about this little girl Ying'er, why did she give herself the fan that came along!
Now that the situation has come to an end, he has no choice but to shamelessly deny it. Liu Mingzhi closed the folding fan and put it into his arms calmly: "Brother Wan, you can't talk like this. If you like the fan, Liu can give it to you."
You have ten or eight, and you can’t just say it’s yours when you see a good thing. Even the things dug out from the ground must be given to you, and the things picked up must be handed over to you. The things Liu has passed down from his ancestors must also be handed over to you.
It must be yours. This is something that Mrs. Liu personally made for Liu. If you just say it and it becomes yours, wouldn’t it be a big joke in the world?"
Anyway, Liu Mingzhi intends to go rogue to the end. Your fan and his fan will become mine when they come into my hands. If you say it is yours, sit down and have a good chat and come up with evidence.
Wan Yang looked at the rogue Young Master Liu with a strange expression: "You said your wife made this fan for you?"
"That's right, Liu rarely shows it to others. I have to say that Brother Wan, you are very lucky to have the honor to see something made by Liu's wife. You don't know, but my wife is a famous and talented woman in Jiangnan.
The daughter of the governor, that guy is usually a noble lady, but for the sake of love and peace, he personally made a folding fan for me. When you saw it, you said it was yours. Is there any law of heaven or king's law?
Isn’t this an open robbery?”
Wan Yang laughed out loud at Young Master Liu's shamelessness: "It turns out that the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan is the masterpiece of your lady. I have little talent and little knowledge. May I ask if Madam Liu's nickname is Qianlong?"
"No, why do you ask?"
Wan Yang stared at Mr. Liu closely: "Since it's not the case, can Brother Liu take out the fan and see what the seal on the fan is?"
Liu Mingzhi was at a loss for words. He had forgotten all this. He touched his nose angrily: "I forgot just now. My wife has two nicknames, one of which is Qianlong. Look, it's so hot today.
It made Liu Mou hot and confused."
"Give the fan back to me. Not everyone can touch the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan. Be careful of getting into trouble." An aura of calmness and self-reliance, and the aura of Ling Ran radiated from Wan Yang.
Damn it, Liu Mingzhi's heart tightened, why did he feel frightened? Who is this Wan Yang? Even his father-in-law has never experienced such an aura.
"You pay me back my money first!" Liu Mingzhi gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat. He said something ambiguous, neither admitting that the fan belonged to Wanyang nor denying that the fan belonged to Wanyang.
Wan Yang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Young Master Liu unnaturally, but did not speak for a long time. If his subordinates knew that he had acted rogue for a mere twenty taels of silver, his reputation would definitely be affected.
"Wait for me!" Wan Yang left a cruel message and turned around to stop looking at the shameless Liu Mingzhi.
"Just wait, you can still eat me in my territory. If you want to steal my wife's things, I would rather die than give in."
Wan Yang's body trembled, and his fists clenched and creaked.
Young Master Liu shrank his neck, and returned to his original position without waiting for Wan Yang's rebuttal. Using Qin Bin's figure as a barrier, he quietly took out the folding fan, looked through it, and quickly put it back in his arms: "It's really Qianlong. Fortunately, I didn't take it hard to the end, otherwise I would have become famous."
"Brother Liu, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just a small misunderstanding."
Zhao Fengshou stood up on the high platform: "Students, please be patient for a moment. I have just discussed it with Mr. Qi and think that Commander Wan is right. Everyone is responsible for the confrontation between the two countries, and students, you are eager to do this." I and Master Qi are very pleased that the country has won glory. However, two games of the Eight Great Elegant Events have been compared, and only six people can compete in the remaining six competitions. It is difficult for me, the hundreds of Jiangnan scholars, to cover everything, so I and Master Qi Your Excellency, please discuss and draw lots to determine the six candidates. It is fair and reasonable. What do you students think? Is there anything inappropriate?"
As soon as Zhao Fengshou finished speaking, everyone began to communicate with each other in obedience again.
Only then did they realize that there were only six games left in the Eight Great Elegant Events, and there were over a hundred people on their side, so how could it be possible for them all to compete against each other.
Wan Yang's expression condensed, and he finally resolved the alienation among these Jiangnan scholars with just a few words from Zhao Fengshou.
He would not guarantee that Zhao Fengshou and Qi Run would not do anything in the lottery.
But he was helpless. What Zhao Fengshou said was reasonable and reasonable. There were only six duels. No matter who was sent to the field, everyone else would definitely be dissatisfied. So drawing lots was the most fair and reasonable way to deal with it.
He glared at Young Master Liu fiercely. Only this rogue climbed up to the high platform and started muttering to Qi and Run. It was very likely that he was the one who made this suggestion.
"The first thing you need to do is seize my jade fan from my kingdom of thousands of miles, and then you will ruin my big things later. I must get rid of you, otherwise sooner or later I will ruin my big things."
Sensing a sharp gaze, Young Master Liu looked up in confusion. He was stunned when he saw Wan Yang's sinister gaze, and touched his head strangely. Who has offended you?
After discussion, the Jiangnan scholars seemed to think that this was the only reasonable way: "We are willing to follow the arrangements of the two adults and draw lots to decide who will play."
"Well, as expected of me, a descendant of Jiangnan, you are indeed sensible. I will arrange the drawing of lots immediately."
"Hu Jun, Brother Li, Brother Lin, Brother Yan, Qi Liang, and Brother Song, when you draw lots later, remember to take out the note stuck on the top of the box."
Several people looked at Liu Mingzhi's face in embarrassment.
"Brother, it's not good to do this. We agreed to draw lots fairly. Isn't it unfair to others if we do this?"
"Yes, Brother Liu, although the Jiangnan scholars are not in the same spirit, they cannot plot against each other. Li Peichao would feel uneasy if he did so."
"Brother Liu, I know you are doing this for the dignity of the court, but the other brothers are also doing this for the sake of the court. Are we doing this to benefit ourselves at the expense of others? The teachings received by Song Bingge do not allow Song to do such a thing."
""
Without exception, several people did not agree with what Liu Mingzhi said, and felt that doing so was unbecoming of a gentleman. After all, they agreed to draw lots fairly, but doing so was tantamount to cheating for personal gain.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the few people helplessly, "Well, you are all gentlemen and people of benevolence and righteousness. I, Liu Mingzhi, am the only villain. Who did I do all this for? Is it because of you that I defeated the Jin Kingdom mission?"
A scholar, who has won honor for his country and received praise, has now made me feel like a different person both inside and outside.
"Brothers, the group of people surnamed Wan came here with bad intentions. Not only did they start a war without declaring it, but they also used divisive tactics to deceive the minds of our scholars. They can be unkind, so why can't we be unjust? All this is for Dalong.
What does personal reputation mean? Can't you be like Brother Qin? To protect the country, you lose your moral integrity. If you fail in the competition, not only will the court be disrespectful, but we Jiangnan scholars will also have a disgraceful face. It's not that Liu looks down on the other brothers.
Taiwan, to be fair, are you confident that you will be better than the scholars of the Jin Kingdom? Think about it carefully, why are you studying?"
Several people's expressions were gloomy and uncertain, and they were speechless.
