Chapter 17 One person writes, the rest stop

Jiang Zhong got the initiation of literary energy, stood quietly for a while, feeling the mystery of literary energy and cleaning up the courage of literary courage, and feeling extremely comfortable both body and mind. Until he heard Mr. Fan calling him in a cheerful tone, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Mr. Fan with a smile, and said, "This couplet was written for the old man, why do you need gold and silver?"

As soon as these words were said, let alone those servants who stood up and stood up, even the young loser Fan Baotong was shocked when he heard it. A word of money is worth 24,000 taels of gold. What is Chen Renzhong's origin? He pushed a mountain of gold away in a simple sentence. Don't he know that after getting that wealth, he can have food and clothing for three lifetimes?

When Mr. Fan heard this, he didn't insist. He rolled up the couplet and said, "That's right, this is a priceless treasure. If you buy a word of money, you will not only take advantage of it. You are also vulgar. Let's talk about it."

The old man Fan had just finished the couplet, and the old woman who had just come to pay her respects came here again and said, "Old man, the second young master, several girls said that they had a good couple here and wanted to copy one to read."

Mr. Fan laughed and said, "Natural." Then he put Jiang Zhong's pair in his arms with great care, walked to the table, picked up a purple hair and copied it out, blew the ink, handed it to the mother-in-law, and said, "Take it to them."

The woman took the couple, bowed again, and walked towards the pavilion opposite.

At this time, Ouyang Qing, who had a pale face, suddenly bowed to Mr. Fan and said, "Wansheng thanked Mr. Fan for the hospitality, so he is going to say goodbye."

Old Master Fan didn't stay, nodded, and ordered the servant to say, "Send Ouyang Hanlin."

The two servants came over to lead the way, and Fan Baotong hurriedly shouted: "The couplet competition has not started yet, Ouyang Qing, why are you leaving?"

Ouyang Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Before the competition has begun, Mr. Chen threw out his pearls and jade. How can he start writing? How can he still move his pen? And now the old man has fulfilled his wish, so let me go back."

Fan Baotong didn't agree and shouted: "Didn't you say you have prepared a lot? Why did you admit defeat before you wrote the others? Go and write it out quickly! Compare with him!"

Jiang Zhong remembered the scene of Ning Wang urging his pair to Tang Bohu in "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" in "Tang Bohu's Day": "Get out and die with him."

Ouyang Qing just shook his head and sighed, saying, "The second young master doesn't know anything. In the next three years, I'm afraid I won't be able to do the right thing. The second young master gave me gold and silver before, and I will return them all." After saying that, he ignored Fan Baotong and went out of the garden with his servants.

Seeing Ouyang Qing leave, Fan Baotong suddenly turned around and pointed at Jiang Zhong, saying, "Who is the one who is surnamed Chen? He deliberately wrote such a couplet to show your ability! I think you just don't want me to have a good birthday! Where did you come from here? Where are you interested? You are signing up?" Master Hulu finally took off his disguise and revealed his true face.

Jiang Zhong said: "Among the people of Xia Chen, there are people from Chang'an, Jiang."

Fan Baotong pointed at Jiang Zhong, opened his mouth, and said hatefully with an expression of "Did I really ask you to answer this?" Then he turned to Mr. Fan and cried, "Grandpa, Chen Renzhong has ulterior motives, just to destroy Huluer's birthday. Now he still looks like he has nothing to do. Grandpa, look at him..."

Old Master Fan patted his grandson's head and said, "It's hard for you to bear it until now." He comforted him for a while and said, "Go and see if your sisters have any good couples written."

Fan Baotong knew that no matter how he cheated, his grandfather would not do anything to Chen Renzhong, so he had to give up this plan, said, "That grandfather, I'm over," and glared at Jiang Zhong again, leaving a sentence, "You are a bad person like you, don't want to be my companion to read." Then, he turned around and walked towards the opposite side.

Mr. Fan said to Jiang Zhong: "Young Master Chen laughed."

Jiang Zhong shook his head and said, "The second young master will understand the old man's good intentions one day."

Mr. Fan smiled and said, "I hope I won't wait too long this day. Young Master Chen, let's go to the pavilion to sit." As he said that, he turned around and said to the servants, "You all go."

Zhou Da then raised his hand, and the ministers responded to "yes" and left the garden in an orderly manner.

Jiang Zhong and Mr. Fan had just sat down at the octagonal pavilion, and Fan Baotong had already entered the pavilion covered, but what surprised him was that even though all the sisters were in the pavilion, no one spoke.

Dong Shiyin leaned against the pavilion pillar, supported her chin with her right hand, and stared at the silent spring water. Zhuang Yuya sat on the stone chair, holding an exquisite little teacup in her hand, and looked around. Meng Jian'e stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at the white clouds in the sky. Baofeng, Baozhu, Baotan and others stood under a willow tree as if they were looking at something.

Fan Baotong was surprised when he saw the couplet made by Chen on the stone table in the pavilion. He suddenly realized it. He couldn't help but get angry again. He walked to Dong Shiyin and asked, "What are Sister Dong looking at here?"

Dong Shiyin turned around and saw that it was him and said, "You go somewhere else, don't disturb me."

Fan Baotong smiled and said, "I'll bring a slut to my sister."

Dong Shiyin didn't answer, and Fan Baotong indeed went over and took an embroidery pier. Dong Shiyin sat down, still in a daze.

Fan Baotong walked to Zhuang Yuya again and said, "Is I going to pour a cup of tea for Sister Zhuang?"

Zhuang Yuya smiled, put down the teacup, and asked Fan Baotong to pour tea. At this time, she suddenly heard Meng Jian'e say "I have it", and then saw her walking to the table and holding a pen to write. As soon as she fell a stroke, she shook her head and said, "The artistic conception is bad." Then she put the pen to not write.

Zhuang Yuya took a sip of tea, got up and walked over, without holding a pen, stood in front of the table for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Today I don't write a word."

Before he finished speaking, Dong Shiyin walked over and took a pen to write, "The colorful clouds scattered the year and lingered around the lonely mountain."

A wisp of beautiful literary air floated on the paper, and Fan Baotong hurriedly shouted: "It's over, it's over, Sister Dong, this pair of people with the surname Chen."

Dong Shiyin glanced at Fan Baotong, then tore off the pair he wrote, and smiled and said, "It's better than that pair."

Meng Jian'e blamed Fan Baotong: "I said that we would make a pair to celebrate your birthday, but I invited such a person again. A pair overwhelmed us all. Hulu'er, what are you thinking about?"

Fan Baotong complained secretly. When he just cursed, he scolded himself so quickly and defended himself: "I really don't know he would be so lucky to write that pair. To be honest, I'm just thinking that he was the one who grandpa paid a lot of money to take care of me. My grandpa just said he wanted to pay a thousand yuan to buy this couplet, but he refused without blinking. Are you suspicious? So, he must be singing a double act with grandpa."

Baofeng, Baotan, Baozhu and other sisters also came over, and the eldest sister Baofeng said, "This pair is worth a thousand gold."

Baotan smiled and said, "The young man is obviously afraid that grandpa will arrange for you to study with you. When he watched you study, he said that he was a double act. I heard that young man was rescued by Wang Fuyao's shopkeeper Anluheli."

Fan Baotong said with a smile, "So what? I want to be a companion to read and care about me. I can't see that he can pass my severity."

Baozhu said, "That's right, after all, he's just here to be a fellow boy, and not a gentleman. When the guy doesn't like him, he just finds a reason to drive him out. What are you afraid of?"

Fan Baotong smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sister Baozhu is right, but this seems to be more difficult than the ones before. I just looked at the Chen surnamed and found that he was really a treacherous person. He looked like a scheming person."

Baofeng said seriously: "Hulu'er, you will be fourteen tomorrow, so it's time to learn something. I think that young master Chen is really talented and learned. At that time, grandpa really arranged for him to be your companion to study. He should seize the opportunity to learn from others. If he did the same, grandpa would be sad."

Seeing the elder sister's face, Baotong didn't dare to play anymore and nodded in agreement.

Meng Jian'e continued: "What the elder sister said is really a trick. How can she write such a pair?"
