The crowd dispersed and calm returned to the small courtyard...
Gu Xuezheng and the two gentlemen did not stay long. During this period, Gu Xuezheng called Chen Jianchen for a conversation alone, but I am afraid only the two of them knew what he said. Anyway, when Xiao Hanfeng saw Gu Xuezheng coming out, he had a smile on his face and was in a good mood.
Seems good.
"Sir, you don't have to be like this..."
In the room, Yingning said to Chen Jianchen.
Chen Jianchen asked back: "Do you think the young master is too arrogant and has offended others?"
Ying Ning pouted and said, "Why are you so arrogant? Mr. Zheng is so aggressive. But, I mean, there are actually many ways to make him look for trouble."
Chen Jianchen sat on the chair: "Maybe.
He has a chivalrous character and a scholarly spirit. Since Zheng Shuliang has made it clear that he wants to use his power to suppress others, of course he will not swallow his anger. Or as Ying Ning said, there can be other ways to punish the other party, but that is not what Chen Jianchen wants. Moreover,
, he did not want Ying Ning to use magic power too frequently if it was not necessary.
Because of that column, the risk of Ying Ning's identity being exposed is greatly increased. You must know that a vixen, even if he is kind and will not harm others, will not be easily accepted by others and live in the world of mortals.
"Non-my family, its heart must be different."
This kind of argument has always been the mainstream and has long been ingrained.
Offending Zheng Shuliang may be fatal to many ordinary scholars, but it is nothing to Chen Jianchen. In other words, Chen Jianchen has long recognized a truth in his heart: no matter how graceful and graceful you are, some troubles will always fall from the sky and are unavoidable.
He used to read "Water Margin" and saw Lin Chong. Although he was cautious and resigned, he would always be in trouble in the end. Why bother?
Since Zheng Shuliang wants to take advantage of Ying Ning, there will inevitably be irreconcilable conflicts between them. The sooner or later the conflict will occur is by no means the key...
"Sir, Yingning has caused you more trouble again."
Although Ying Ning is not deeply involved in the world, he also knows the importance of interpersonal relationships. Chen Jianchen offended Zheng Shuliang, which is likely to have a considerable negative impact on his future career. And for a scholar, career is almost the only thing that matters.
, a bright way out, and cutting off this way is almost the same as cutting off the way to live.
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "Yingning, you are wrong...
"Lou was wrong?"
"In terms of the implementation stage, this trouble is actually a good thing for me, Young Master."
"ah!"
The little fox was stunned. He didn't know why the young master would say such words. I'm afraid he said it deliberately to comfort himself.
Chen Jianchen said: "Sit down and wait for me to teach you a lesson."
Ying Ning obediently sat across from him, lying on the table, looking at Chen Jianchen curiously with two big black eyes, wanting to see what the young master could tell him.
Chen Jianchen tapped the table with his left index finger habitually, and then said slowly and calmly: "First of all, although Zheng Shuliang is the grandson of Zheng Guogong, the Zheng family does not cover the sky with one hand. If they can't grasp my handle, they can't do it openly: As for what's behind my back,
If you are here to do evil things, what should I be afraid of?"
Hearing his subtle compliment, Ying Ning's cheeks suddenly flushed with two faint blushes, and she said rather shyly: "Don't worry, Young Master, Ying Ning will protect Young Master."
This sentence sounds a bit awkward, but considering the special nature of her identity, Chen Jianchen thinks it is acceptable. Being protected by a vixen is not a shameful thing: "Secondly, for a scholar, Ying Ning, do you think he is the most
what do you need?"
"reputation?"
Yingning Bingxue was smart and thought of the key points immediately.
"Yes, it is fame, but it is not easy to become famous. You need to become famous early."
In the minds of many people, reputation is like a strange bird. Sometimes you can hear it and see it, but you can't touch it.
Hearing this, Yingning still didn't understand: "Master, what does this have to do with offending Zheng Gaomao?" Zheng Shuliang wanted to snatch her away as a book boy, but she had no good impressions of him and wanted to call him "Master Zheng."
It was absolutely impossible, so I had an idea and directly gave him the nickname "Zheng Gaobao" in a very vivid way.
Chen Jianchen smiled hoarsely: "Yingning, what do you think the young master can do to become famous?"
Ying Ning said: "Young Master is talented and can write well, so he will naturally become famous."
Chen Jianchen shook his head: "How can it be so easy? As the saying goes, "Articles hate life, time is limited for people." It is not easy to become famous. Since ancient times, there are many people who have unrecognized talents. If you don't understand people and have bad luck, you will end up in the mountains and forests in the end.
."
Yingning nodded as he listened. Although he was still a little unclear, but what the young master said seemed to be very powerful, so of course he nodded in agreement.
Chen Jianchen smiled indifferently, and suddenly remembered the dizzying variety of "hype" in his previous life. All kinds of bizarre and bizarre methods emerged in endlessly, but indispensable among them was the need for someone to "cooperate" with the performance.
Opposite drama. Now that Zheng Shuliang has taken the initiative to come to our door, isn't it a very suitable time? Originally, he was going to Zhezhou, and he just wanted to drop by to see how Nie Xiaoqian was doing.
But now that I have participated in the so-called "The World's Best Talent Talent Competition", I have to show off when I have the opportunity.
Just as Taoist Master Qingyun said, Chen Jianchen, a wealthy man, is not a monk who has entered the monastery. He can play in the human world and make the four elements empty.
Regarding fame, fortune, and quality of life, Chen Jianchen has never concealed his pursuit—didn’t he come across time just to have a career? As for such false and empty things as “seeking the meaning of life,” that’s not what Chen Jianchen should be doing now.
Thinking before and after.
Strength, gradually improving and increasing one's own strength, is the foundation of success.
"Sir, I seem to understand a little bit..."
Ying Ning, who was deep in thought, suddenly clapped her hands: "Master, how good are you..."
The little fox's way of thinking and speaking habits are very flexible. He suddenly said "Young master, how are you?" with a smile and annoyance. Chen Jianchen couldn't help but feel dizzy and quickly coughed: "Ying Ning, what do you understand?"
Ying Ning pouted: "Young master, don't you just want to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and step on Zheng Gao's hat?
Ying Ning supports you unconditionally. The harder you step on me, the better it will be. How about I use some tricks to make Zheng Gaobao embarrassed in public during the game tomorrow? He will vomit, have diarrhea or something like that? Huh, let him dare to take advantage of me!
"
Chen Jianchen was sweating profusely after hearing this. Although Ying Ning was not as arrogant and unscrupulous as Jiao Na, a vixen was a vixen after all, and some traits would never change. He smacked his lips and said, "Ying Ning
, I don’t need you to step in and help in these situations, it’s not necessary.”
"Sir, is this necessary?"
"It's necessary!"
In a private room on the third floor of Taibaiju, a famous restaurant in Zhezhou, Zheng Shuliang was drinking alone. Behind him, steward Zhang San stood respectfully.
"Third Butler, just follow my instructions, Master, and don't act rashly.
It's just a small scholar. If we need help from others, then where can we put the face of one of the four most talented people in the capital? If it gets spread, won't it make people laugh?"
Zheng Shuliang said categorically that he had the capacity to drink a thousand glasses of wine without getting drunk. At this moment, two jars of fine wine were in his stomach, and his eyes were surprisingly bright, as bright as killing people. He said that today, he was out of curiosity, and it was
He went to Chen Jianchen with a somewhat "courteous and virtuous corporal" attitude. According to the normal plot development, his grandson of Zheng Guogong went to find a scholar from a poor background. The other party should be frightened and respond to requests.
You must know that in the capital city and at the foot of the world, there are countless officials and officials who eagerly come to curry favor with Zheng Shuliang and do whatever they want to please him. Under such an environment, Zheng Shuliang has inevitably developed the habit of growing up since he was a child.
He has an attitude that is used to looking down on others. But to be honest, he is not the kind of arrogant and domineering rich man, he is just an arrogant person.
However, just today, a young scholar who suddenly appeared not only refused to accept his favor, but also made him unable to step down in public. This is simply intolerable, who can't be tolerated?
...Hmph, do you think you can challenge me because of your good handwriting? Tomorrow's poetry competition, I want to show you what a real talent is!"
Of course, Zheng Shuliang had read Chen Jianchen's calligraphy, and it was indeed pretty good. However, he asked himself that Chen Jianchen's calligraphy skills were not as good as his own, otherwise he would not have come to ask for an extra contest. On the one hand, he wanted to borrow
On the one hand, he won Ying Ning because of his dissatisfaction.
All because in his mind, he would never allow anyone to keep pace with him. Especially, the other person was just a poor scholar from a third-rate academy.
There are too many subjective factors that influence calligraphy, but when it comes to poetry, the two levels of Shiwen Bagu are a real comparison of talents. Zheng Shuliang does not believe that he will lose to Chen Jianchen, and he is about to win fiercely in the examination room two days after tomorrow.
He trampled Chen Jianchen under his feet and avenged today's hatred.
Thinking like this, I slowly drank the glass of wine in one go.
After today's calligraphy elimination, only thirty student representatives are left who are qualified to participate in tomorrow's poetry competition. The specific rules for the poetry competition have already been announced. Tomorrow morning, the student representatives who are qualified to participate will
Early in the morning, I went to the packhorse tower in the center of Zhezhou City, climbed the tower, and wrote poems while standing high.
This poem is divided into two levels: immediate poem composition and antiphonal poem. As for the detailed topic, it will be proposed by the three judges in charge tomorrow.
In this way, the square appears to be straight.
Regardless of whether it is composing poems on the fly or reciprocal poems, Zheng Shuliang has done countless things. He is a veteran. He was a prodigy who could compose poems at the age of seven and was admitted to the scholar examination at the age of thirteen: I think that when he was seven years old, he was a prodigy.
The first "Duck duck duck" has become popular throughout the capital. How can he not be compared to Chen Jianchen?
