Ginseng and wolfberry

Sai Jiangnan is also a little famous in Yangzhou, but her specific identity has always been a mystery, and no one knows how she is related to Princess Jiaqian. But it seems that they have a good relationship.

Looking at their expressions, the bet does not seem to be a joke. If Princess Jiaqian is serious, and there is no one here who can control her, I am afraid that a competition will be inevitable.

But let an unknown Xia Shang compete with the most talented woman from the capital...

"Jiaqian, stop fooling around."

Miss Feng reminded in a low voice.

But Jiaqian did not buy it. Although the other party was a teacher, he obviously did not have Xia Shang's means and could not make the students completely obedient.

"Sir, you must prove it this time! Lest Jiangnan be deceived by this fame-seeking person, let her know who the truly talented people in the world are. Oh, right!"

Jia Qian stopped talking, "Jiangnan, I haven't introduced my husband to you yet! My husband is extraordinary. Ke Xiaofeng, the most talented woman in Beijing, is from the Luo family and is well-known all over the world. She is also known as the Poet Fairy and Fairy Ke. She can write poems in three steps and articles in ten steps. She has countless famous works circulating in Beijing, many of which are included in historical books. Even the emperor favors my husband. How can the unknown people around you compare to him?"

How could Jiangnan accept this? She immediately retorted: "What's the point of talking? Is your husband as famous as my husband? To tell you the truth, my husband is the real author of "Dream of Red Mansions"! Who in Jiangnan doesn't know "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

"What?"

There were bursts of exclamations in the pavilion, and everyone looked at Xia Shang in disbelief, thinking that the once famous "Dream of Red Mansions" was written by this young man?

It's incredible!

Anyone from Yangzhou will be familiar with "Dream of Red Mansions". Anyone who knows a little about writing can feel from the text that the author should be a person who has experienced all kinds of human hearts and has experienced many major issues, otherwise he can't write such obscure human relationships.

Judging from the text, the author should be an older person, but he didn't expect it to be a young boy like Xia Shang.

Jiangnan's words just came out, and no one believed it yet.

Luo Xiaofeng looked indifferent: "I heard that there is a book called "Dream of Red Mansions" in Yangzhou, which is popular in the Jiangnan area and makes a group of young men and women crazy. This trip to Yangzhou, I wanted to see the style of "Dream of Red Mansions", but unfortunately time is short and I haven't seen it yet. I didn't want to see the author first today."

"After saying so much, Jiangnan, does your master dare to compete?"

Jiangnan put his hand on his waist: "Why not?!"

Luo Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying to Xia Shang: "Young master, please forgive me. You and I are both literati , I shouldn't be competitive, but Princess Jiaqian insisted on asking, I don't know what you mean?"

Xia Shang bowed his hands: "Xia is not a competitive person, but a vulgar person who protects his students. If the student takes it so seriously, the teacher must help her. "

Jiangnan pouted when he heard it, but he was happy in his heart: "Who is your little calf? Humph!"

Princess Jiaqian was also happy, waving her hands and cheering: "In this case, let's compete quickly!"

As soon as the voice fell, another person interrupted, and it turned out that the person was Ouyang Changhao.

"Princess, wait! Fairy Ke is the first extraordinary woman in the capital, and her status is extraordinary. Xia Shang is just an ordinary person. Regardless of whether "Dream of Red Mansions" was written by him, why should a book craftsman compete with Fairy Ke in talent? Even if there is a competition, it will be me or Master Su, how can it be your turn?"

After speaking, he looked at Xia Shang with disdain.

Xia Shang asked back: "How do you qualify?"

"You have to get past me first!"

"That's easy. I'll give you a simple riddle and let you guess it. If you guess it right, I'll win."

"Guessing riddles is a joke? Just come up with your own questions!"

Xia Shang smiled mysteriously: "You need to coordinate before you ask the questions."

"How do you coordinate?"

"Simple, just follow my instructions."

Xia Shang asked Ouyang Changhao to the middle: "Squat down."

Ouyang Changhao was stunned, not knowing what Xia Shang was doing, and squatted down with a sneer.

"Get up."

Ouyang Changhao got up as he was told.

"Squat down again."

"Get up again."

This time Ouyang Changhao was a little annoyed: "What are you doing?"

"Okay, guess a two-character Chinese medicine name."

Squat down and stand up, squat down and stand up.

Two-character Chinese medicine name?

Ouyang Changhao laughed: "Haha, what's the difficulty? The answer is ginseng (人伸) and."

Before the laughter died down, a louder laugh came.

"Hahaha, no, no, Brother Ouyang, you are wrong. This is wolfberry (狗起)!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as Xia Shang said that, the whole room laughed.

Princess Jiaqian covered her stomach for fear that Ouyang Changhao didn't understand, and added: "Hahaha, he called you a dog!"

"You you you you!!!"

Ouyang Changhao came back to his senses, his face was red to the soles of his feet, his whole body was burning, and his pink face was burned to the color of pig liver. In his twenty years of life, he had never suffered such a great humiliation, and he was still solving the problem seriously, but it turned out to be a trap from the beginning, and he was played hard.

This feeling is like being stripped naked and dancing, with countless people outside watching, but he didn't know it until afterwards.

"You're going too far! You're going too far! Xia... I... I, I, I..."

Ouyang Changhao's front teeth were almost broken. There were not many people who could make a scholar so anxious that he wanted to fight.

Xia Shang was calm and composed. He smiled and bowed again: "Sorry, sorry, brother Ouyang, it was just a game. It's really Xia's fault. Please don't blame me. I think with brother Ouyang's temperament, he shouldn't mind, right?"

"You..."

Without waiting for Ouyang Changhao to speak, Xia Shang bowed again: "Brother Ouyang, please be generous! Brother Ouyang, please forgive me! Forgive me!"

Puff!

Ouyang Changhao almost spit out a mouthful of blood. It would be better if you didn't apologize. This apology made me feel like a woman who was abused. Saying sorry afterwards, how can it be useful?

Ouyang Changhao finally experienced what it felt like to "feel like eating shit".

"Do you think you can get away with just joking? If you want to challenge Fairy Ke, you must be able to represent the talents of Yangzhou, and your knowledge must convince us. You were just boasting in the previous policy essay, but Fairy Ke asked for the topic of 'Rivers and Mountains', and if you can come up with a word that convinces us, you are qualified."

Ke Xiaofeng is very famous. It is rare for her to come to Yangzhou, and everyone wants to seize this opportunity to compete, even Su Heng is eager to try.

"Fairy Ke's name is well-known. If Fairy Ke can teach me today, I really need someone who can represent the talents of Yangzhou. Mr. Xia, please write a lyric. If you convince me, I will withdraw!"

Since he stood in front of everyone today, Xia Shang didn't think of ending it in a low-key manner. Isn't it just writing a lyric on the topic of rivers and mountains?

How simple!

"The wolf smoke rises, and the mountains and rivers look north. The dragon rises and rolls, the horse neighs, and the sword energy is like frost. The heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River. Who can resist in the twenty years of vertical and horizontal..."
