Although Xu Zhang's nostrils were turned upward, his whole body was still tense, and he peeked warily from time to time, obviously afraid that Yang Fan would suddenly jump over and beat him.
Yang Fan's reputation is well known among the noble families in Chang'an City, although everyone always shows disdain on the surface.
In fact, everyone in the mainland has a guilty conscience, so they usually use words to bully people. As long as the guy doesn't take action, he can beat this stick with his own intelligence and knowledge.
Rolling his eyes, Yang Fan looked at Xu Zhang with disdain and said: "An unknown person, a certain Earl of Wannian County, who do you think you are? Just compete with whatever you say?"
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Xu Zhang looked surprised, pointed at himself and said in disbelief: "How dare you say that someone is an unknown person?"
Who is Xu Zhang?
Although he is young, he is also a well-known underachiever in Chang'an City, and he is one of the outstanding young students in Chang'an.
Xu Zhang, who had been trained by Xu Jingzong since childhood, was highly praised by even the great scholar Kong Yingda for his knowledge. Now that Yang Fan said he was a nobody, he was certainly surprised.
Xu Zhang's expression made Yang Fan a little confused. He couldn't help but blurt out: "You are the son of a book writer. You are not well-known. How famous can you be?"
"What is Shu Shulang?"
Xu Zhang's face was full of doubts, and everyone's minds were full of questions!
Only Wu Meiniang quickly realized that her husband must have made a common-sense mistake again, because Yang Fan often did this, so he had to cover his mouth to suppress his smile.
Yang Fan just lacked common sense and was not a fool. Seeing everyone's expressions, he knew that he might have made a mistake, so he expressed his doubts: "Is it possible that the author is an official? Isn't he a scholar who copies and writes books?"
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized what he was doing and looked weird. However, they secretly cursed Yang Fan as a stick, because anyone who could read knew that Shulang was an official position. He really humiliated the Xu family with just one mouthful.
The author Xu Jingzong, whose courtesy name was Yanzu, was not only one of the eighteen scholars of the Prince of Qin's palace, but also a great scholar in the scholarly community. Although his reputation was not good, he was known to everyone in the scholarly community.
As a court writer, Zhongshusheren, a close minister of the emperor, and a fourth-rank official, Xu Jingzong had a bright future. After all, the prime minister was only a third-rank official.
Xu Zhang was a little confused at first, but after hearing Yang Fan's words, he immediately understood. Damn it, this stick actually thought his father was a copywriter?
This was really unbearable for my uncle, but intolerable for my aunt, so she said angrily: "You are so ignorant. My father, Xu Jingzong, is a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. How can he be a book copywriter? This is really deceiving others."
Yang Fan turned to Li Ke and asked: "Brother Li, didn't you call his father Xu Yan just now?"
After stroking his forehead, Li Ke replied: "Yanzu is the name of Xu Jingzong..."
"Fuck..."
It's terrible to be uneducated. At this time, Yang Fan couldn't help but blush, a little embarrassed, but soon became a little weird. He clasped his fists at Xu Zhang with a half-smile and said: "I have admired you for a long time, I admire you..."
Seeing that Yang Fan was actually 'scared', Xu Zhang said with an arrogant expression: "Do you know how powerful our Xu family is? I have always been magnanimous. As long as I kneel down and apologize to King Jin and X, the matter will be over."
Of course, what Yang Fan said about "long admiration and admiration" was not fear, but the absurdity of Xu Jingzong and his son.
Xu Jingzong's first wife Pei passed away early, so she took a concubine named Yu. However, Yu had an affair with Xu Jingzong's eldest son. It can be said that the father and son shared the same lover. It seems that this son was Xu Zhang. These two father and son really
He's open enough and really knows how to play!
Although Xu Jingzong had poor moral character, he was indeed capable and a treacherous minister. Later, he became the prime minister and became the prime minister.
It doesn't matter what you are famous for.
Yang Fan chuckled and said, "I am quite ignorant. Master Zuo and Mr. Xu are both famous people who have been famous throughout the ages."
Then the conversation changed and he said: "For the sake of His Highness King Wu, I won't do anything with you today, nor will I compete with you on poetry and poetry. Let's talk about the truth. I want to convince others with my virtue."
When everyone heard this, they felt as if they had seen a ghost, with strange expressions on their faces, and their eyes involuntarily focused on Yang Fan.
Has the sun risen from the west?
Bangchui actually tried to reason with so many talented people. Isn’t this nonsense? It’s really a strange thing.
Ignoring everyone's weird expressions, Yang Fan started to ask Xu Zhang: "I'm asking you, if you particularly respect a certain person, do you put it on your lips every day or keep it in your heart?"
What's the problem? It's too simple!
So Xu Zhang replied without hesitation: "Of course, don't worry."
Yang Fan added: "If your father and your wife fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?"
This eternal problem made Xu Zhang look confused, and then he blushed and said, "You are making trouble unreasonably."
However, Yang Fan ignored his roar and said to himself: "You just said that I don't take His Majesty in my eyes. Of course I don't take His Majesty in my eyes. I care about His Majesty in my heart. How can it be like that?"
You talk about it every day without any respect at all, which is disloyal; your father and wife fell into the water, and you hesitated to save them, this is unfilial. How can an unfaithful and unfilial person like you have the qualifications?
Accusing someone?”
Yang Fan spoke these words so urgently and quickly that Xu Zhang had no room to interrupt. He was so angry that he covered his heart with his hands and his face turned pale. He could only keep repeating - "You are quibbling"!
Seeing Xu Zhang who was about to die of anger, Yang Fan was secretly proud.
The ancients were so cute and squeamish, and they would almost vomit blood if they spoke a few words. If we were in modern times, these words have not even started to warm up!
Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Xu Zhang's face flushed red, he was so embarrassed and angry that he didn't expect that he would be hit by the stick without the strength to fight back.
This made Wu Meiniang and Xibei Guo on the side laugh so hard that they were out of breath, their pink faces turned red, and their flowers were blooming.
Li Ke and Li Zhi tried hard to maintain their royal dignity, but their red faces and tightly clenched fists under the table showed that these two boys were enduring hardship.
However, at this time, I heard a voice not far away: "It is said that Uncle Zhongyi of Wannian County is greedy for money and lustful. He only knows how to wield a knife and a gun. He is a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved. Today, someone has learned that you actually have thousands of talents."
, the heart of a man with a sharp tongue and a thoughtful mind.”
Hearing this voice, Xu Zhang was overjoyed.
Yang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling extremely vigilant.
Doesn't "articulate and thoughtful" mean that Yang Fan's previous mischief was based on his reputation as a "stick" and "greedy for money and sex", but he is actually a thoughtful and transparent person?
It means: If you don’t have any bad intentions, how can you pretend to be so? It’s obvious that your intentions are terrible!
This was an obvious act of flattery, which made the world's nobles and even the emperor take action against him.
Yang Fan cursed secretly in his heart, this middle-aged scribe was like a poisonous snake, too yin.
So he asked quietly: "This is a matter between Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu. What does it have to do with you? Who is here?"
The middle-aged scribe clasped his hands behind his back, raised his head at a 45-degree angle and said pretentiously: "This is Xu Jingzong..."
Damn it, Yang Fan said a national curse, but he didn't expect to hit the young one and the old one.
