Chapter 134
Quchifang is one of the three houses.
There is one of the most famous events in Quchifang called Qushui Liushang.
A mechanism seating platform was set up on the banks of the Quchi River, and everyone sat cross-legged on it and recited poems and wrote a couplets. Whoever performed the most prominently would be the seating platform under him.
Ming Shiyin is the biggest winner of Qushui Liushang. It is precisely because of this that the four words "Mudan Jushi" quickly spread throughout Chang'an.
The next day, Wang Yi brought Yunying to Fang Street early.
However, this time, Wang Yi and Yunying did not go to Changlefang again. After they arrived at Fang Street, they went straight to Quchifang.
At this time, many people had gathered together in Quchifang. They were all wearing long gowns and folding fans in their hands. Everyone looked particularly elegant.
"If you want to enter Quchifang, each person needs to pay five gold coins. This money will be used to repair some facilities in Quchifang. If you want to participate in Qushui Liushang, you need to pay fifty gold coins."
Yunying was dissatisfied when she heard the words registered for the business.
"Fifty gold coins, why are your fees so expensive?"
In Chang'an, fifty gold coins are already considered a huge sum of money.
You should know that the money an ordinary family earns in a year will not exceed ten gold coins.
"There are only eighteen seats in Qushui Liushang. If there are no conditions, wouldn't anyone be able to board the seat?"
The manager glanced at Yun Ying, then sneered and said, "Anyone who can get on the stage, regardless of whether it performs well or not, will at least become the focus of everyone's eyes tonight."
"If you want to be the focus of everyone's eyes, fifty gold coins are quite expensive?"
"In addition, I would like to remind you that some tables have been booked by others, and some have even been booked by others for a whole year. Now there is only one table left. If you don't want to book, leave the opportunity to others."
After hearing what the manager said, Wang Yi took out fifty gold coins and handed them to the manager.
Next, Wang Yi wanted to use Qushui Liushang to attack Ming Shiyin. If he didn't have the opportunity to participate in this Qushui Liushang, he would have to wait for the first half of the next time. In half a month, it would be not far from the Shangyuan Festival.
"This bamboo slip is engraved with your name. You can go to Qushui Liushang with this bamboo slip. However, I also need to remind you in advance that you may also make you a joke while wanting to be the focus. So after you get on the stage, you'd better try to be a little low-key."
"I hope you can understand one thing: the higher you fly, the more painful you fall."
"Thank you for the reminder!"
Wang Yi clasped his fists at the manager and was about to leave with Yun Ying when he heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
"Mr. Wang, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Wang Yi looked behind him and happened to see Shangguan Wan'er.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a white long gown and dressed up like a man.
"Sir Shangguan, your outfit is eye-catching."
"Mr. Wang, you have been awarded the prize. Please ask Mr. Wang to borrow a step to speak."
The three of them walked aside, and Wang Yi informed Shangguan Wan'er of his plan.
After hearing Wang Yi's words, Shangguan Wan'er looked embarrassed and said, "Ming Shiyin is quite talented. In recent decades, Ming Shiyin has been firmly in the first place. Lord Wang, are you really sure to defeat Ming Shiyin?"
Wang Yi smiled and said, "The reason why Ming Shiyin was able to sit firmly in the first place is not because Ming Shiyin was too strong, but because Ming Shiyin's opponent was too weak. Today I let Ming Shiyin fall from the altar. To borrow the words of the manager just now, the higher you fly, the more painful it will be."
"This time I made Ming Shiyin lose face, and Ming Shiyin's attention to me should be more."
Seeing Wang Yi so passionately, Shangguan Wan'er thought about it and nodded slightly.
"Mr. Wang has such confidence, and Wan'er is just about to open her eyes."
The painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence" painted by Wang Yi made Shangguan Wan'er sigh and amazed at the will of heaven and earth. Shangguan Wan'er also hoped to see a miracle from Wang Yi again.
The three of them talked for a few words and were about to leave when they saw Ming Shiyin stepping to Quchifang accompanied by Yixing.
As soon as he stepped into Quchifang, Ming Shiyin's gaze fell on Wang Yi.
When he saw Wang Yi who was jumping around, Ming Shiyin's face flashed with a loss, but soon Ming Shiyin calmed down his emotions and walked towards Wang Yi with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, I didn't expect to meet you in Quchifang today."
Ming Shiyin hugged Wang Yi and the other two and then continued to say, "I wonder if Lord Wang came to Quchifang today to be an ordinary audience, or would he go on the stage to let everyone see the style of Lord Wang?"
After listening to Ming Shiyin's words, Wang Yi smiled and asked back, "I heard that the dozens of Qushui Liushangs held by Quchifang have been the first to be the winner?"
"The only reason I can win the first place is because my brothers are in charge. The second is because my studies are endless. Every time I participate in Qushui Liushang, my knowledge can be improved to a certain extent."
Wang Yi nodded and said to Ming Shiyin: "According to what you said, others can give in to you, so why can't you give in to others?"
"Are you so unmodest? You have to be the first to win every time? Are you so strong in your personality?"
Wang Yi's words immediately made Ming Shiyin blush.
Ming Shiyin just said modestly, but he didn't expect that Wang Yi would mess around and mean that Shiyin was not humble.
"I also want to gain a good reputation with the help of Qushui Liushang. I wonder if Brother Ming can give me some courtesy tonight?"
Ming Shiyin glanced at Wang Yi, calmed his mind and said, "Mr. Wang is a talented person. Master Wang has real talent and knowledge, so why should I give in? Even if I fight with all my strength today, I may not be able to beat Master Wang."
Wang Yi nodded with a smile.
"It seems that you have a good vision and self-awareness. As you said, this time I came to participate in Qushui Liushang, and you have no chance to get the first place. Since you have seen through the results, you should not participate in the Qushui Liushang next."
After Wang Yi finished speaking, he left with Shangguan Wan'er and Yun Ying with a smile.
Staring at Wang Yi's back, Ming Shiyin snorted coldly and said, "A mere eunuch, dares to show off his skills in front of me, and wants to be famous on my shoulders. Let's see how I step you tightly under my feet."
Ming Shiyin said this and turned his head to Yixing and said, "You failed last night, so I can't hold you accountable. But tonight, after I defeated Wang Yi, when he was in a state of dismay, I don't want you to fail again."
