Hearing Xu Shu said, "No need to think about it." Zhu Ding couldn't help being taken aback. But Xu Shu continued to say: "Since the adults are kindly invited. Shan Mou stayed."
Xu Shu stayed in Zhuding Mansion for more than a year. It's quite common to meet with Zhu Rong. It's just that although he is enthusiastic. The other girl was cold to him. To say that Xu Shu can really stand up to his temper. Extend what you have learned in your life. Want Bo girl to smile. Not to write a poem. Just send a few small flowers. I wish Rongai a hero. Turn a blind eye to all these romances that he had hollowed out his mind. Anything he sent. Take the front foot. The hind foot was thrown away.
Zhu Ding naturally took all this in his eyes. But pretending to be ignorant. Also warned the tribe. You must not tell this "Mr. Shan" about the Huimeng three years ago. He is the patriarch. In the tribe, it is always the same. With this order. Ren Xu Shu is very resourceful. There is no way to know why Zhu Rong has not married yet at such an old age.
Since Zhu Rong is not married. Then he Xu Shu should still have a chance. So he persevered and continued to please Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong was annoying. Several times to drive him out of the hole. but. Zhu Ding knows. In the future, the entire Zhu family can only rely on this young son Zhujie. Bring him up to adulthood. It is the top priority of the Zhu family. right now. It was hard to find such a talented gentleman to teach him. How would Zhu Ding let Xu Shu leave easily. Instead, Zhu Rong scolded him.
Of course, Zhu Ding would not be so stupid that Zhu Rong would give up his bet with Liu Xin. Turn to marry Xu Shu. He just tried every means to keep Xu Shu. Fortunately, Zhu Rong is determined enough. Otherwise face Xu Shu's hardship. The result is really hard to tell. but. When Liu Xin really met Xu Shu at Zhu's family. Zhu Ding father and daughter still feel a little embarrassed. After all, this kind of thing is hard to say.
Although Xu Shu has no shortage of food and clothing at Zhu's house. Zhu Ding was also courteous to him. But he has eyes and ears. He didn't even know the real reason why Zhu Rong left Yanke for Xiangyang at the beginning of the year. I also believed Zhu Ding's words. Stupidly waiting for the return of Zhu Rong from his relatives at Zhu's home.
Actually. When in Yingchuan Academy. Xu Shu met Liu Xin. Just learned the news of Zhu Rong's return. Xu Shu was naturally surprised and delighted. All eyes are on Zhu Rong. Especially entangled in the woman's hair bun she pulled up. I didn't notice that Liu Xin was here.
Wait for Xu Shu to hear Liu Xin's question. How can I not understand the relationship between Liu Xin and Zhu Rong. Could not help but get angry. Angrily said: "Liu Xin. I have long heard that you are a lascivious. But you can't rely on your own power to grab the women of the people."
Zhu Rong heard him calling Liu Xin by his name. Somewhat unhappy. He asked loudly: "Mr. Shan. Oh no. You should be called Mr. Xu. Why do you say that my elder brother is robbing people's girls."
Xu Shu faced Zhu Rong but couldn't get fierce. He lowered his voice and said: "Wish girl. I know you are not a person who tends to be inflamed. If he is not forcing you, how can you be with him
Zhu Rong blushed. Jiao yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about. No one forced me. I wanted to marry my elder brother three years ago. At that time I thought he was just an ordinary Han businessman. How could he force me."
Liu Xin listened to the two of them arguing there. I wonder what the intersection between Xu Shu and Zhu Rongneng. in history. The two people really have no intersection. And never met. Don't even know each other's existence. All this is due to the arrival of Liu Xin. Changed the original trajectory of history.
in history. When Xu Shu went out to study. Yizhou is still under Liu Yan's jurisdiction. A policy of isolation from the imperial court was implemented. Xu Shu had no way to come to Zangke. in fact. Even if he came to Zangke at that time. Nor will I see Zhu Rong. Because Zhu Rong married Meng Huo a long time ago.
From the conversation between two people. Liu Xin has heard it. Xu Shu is just wishful thinking and unrequited love. Zhu Rong's heart for him has never changed. Can not help but relax. One step forward. Stopped in front of Zhu Rong. Said to Xu Shu: "Xu Shu. No matter what you thought in the past. You should know now. Rong'er is my woman. Unless she wants to leave me. Otherwise, I won't let anyone take her from me. Let's go. You'd better die this heart as soon as possible."
Liu Xin is tall and tall. Zhu Rong stayed behind. Xu Shu's sight was completely obscured. You can only see Zhu Rong's jade-like arms around Liu Xin's waist. It shows that the love between the two is abnormal.
Xu Shu stared at it for a long time. He murmured: "Fine. Nothing. Liu Xin. Xu knows that you have a high position. And you have outstanding literary talent. You made "The Shao Shi Ming" spread widely. Xu often reads it. This is inspiring."
Liu Xin felt a little ashamed. I can't remember a few words of the stolen "The Shao Shi Ming". Unexpectedly, Xu Shu never forgets.
Xu Shu didn't know what Liu Xin was thinking. He continued: "You can make a poem in five steps. Achievement in poetry. Xu is even more unmatched. And your ambition is rough. Xu is even harder to expect."
Liu Xin didn't expect Xu Shu to evaluate himself so highly. I feel a little embarrassed. Even the anger that was secretly born because of his idea of hitting Zhu Rong gradually faded. So he waved his hand. Said: "Xu Shu. The thing about feelings is that you love me and love each other. It's not about status, talent, or wealth. If that's the case, the beautiful love stories of the predecessors will not be passed down."
Zhu Rong was particularly moved by his words. Can't help holding him tighter. But Xu Shu disagrees. Said coldly: "In those beautiful love stories, you don't care about status and wealth. It's impossible not to talk about talent."
in fact. What Xu Shu said is not wrong. Those stories were made up by unscrupulous literati. In the end, the gifted and beautiful women always came together. That's why the saying "There is Yan Ruyu in the book" appears.
Xu Shu paused. Liu Xin glanced contemptuously. Continued: "Liu Xin. Although your talent is outstanding. Your character is not very good. When it comes to governing the country and poetry. Xu Mou knows he is not your opponent. But there is one thing. Xu Mou can definitely beat you. You dare to compare with me."
Liu Xin listened to his words. Almost fainted. His most conceited thing is his character. Always think that he is diligent and loving the people. Who knows in Xu Shu's eyes. But it's not very good. in contrast. In terms of governance and poetry. Liu Xin is self-aware. He knew he had no ink compared to his chest. Not much better. And Xu Shu actually admired him in these two aspects.
In fact. Xu Shu came to such a conclusion. It is entirely out of my own judgment. Study tours for most of the year. Xu Shu saw it with his own eyes. In the area ruled by Liu Xin, the people are rich and the country is strong. And Liu Xin's widely spread poems. Indeed, no one can beat it. As for character. The standards adopted by the two parties are different. Naturally, the conclusions are quite different. What Xu Shu adopted was the judging standard of scholar-officials. And some of Liu Xin's practices. In the eyes of scholar-officials. It is ridiculous indeed. Even rebellious.
Facing Xu Shu's challenge. Liu Xin just smiled faintly. Said: "Inches are long. Feet are short. What's comparable."
Of course Liu Xin did not want to accept Xu Shu's challenge. Who knows what he wants to compare. In case he has a problem. I couldn't solve it for a while. Isn't it a joke to spread it out
Xu Shu stepped forward. Staring at Liu Xin, he said, "I just want to compete with you. If I lose, I'll leave it to you. If you lose, please give me Miss Zhu."
"Fart." Liu Xin couldn't help but explode. "Xu Shu. You really look down on you. Rong'er is not a bet. She is a living person. She has the right to choose the life she wants. She has her own freedom. How can you and I control you."
Xu Shu couldn't help but stay. In his opinion. Slender lady. The gentleman is so good. His pursuit of Zhu Rong took it for granted. but. Women are women after all. Can only be an accessory for men. At this point. Xu Shu's view is no different from other scholar-officials. Never thought that women can also have freedom.
but. Xu Shu is now a scholar. The best thing about scholars is their own face. The words have been exported. Even if it is not to compete for Zhu Rong. Xu Shu refused to step back. He took another step forward. It almost touched Liu Xin's nose. Say loudly: "Okay. If I lose. I'll leave it at your disposal. If you lose. It's up to Miss Zhu to choose. That's all right. Do you dare to take it."
Liu Xin didn't want to talk to him. Turned around to leave.
Zhu Rong did not comply. Loudly said: "Mr. Xu. You talk about it. More than anything. My elder brother can still be afraid of your failure."
Liu Xin couldn't help frowning. Said: "Rong'er. Don't mess around."
Zhu Rong said disapprovingly: "Anyway, you have nothing to lose. Even if you lose. I will only choose you."
"No loss, no loss. You think you are doing business." Liu Xin really didn't want to compete with Xu Shu. After all, this era attaches great importance to fame. If he has a problem. Let yourself write an article. Words that can't be written. Even the poems and essays I wrote before are doubted.
Xu Shu couldn't wait to call out: "Okay. Liu Xin. Listen. I want to compare swordsmanship with you."
Everything is inferior. Only reading is high. In the eyes of scholars. No matter how powerful the martial arts is, it is only a small skill for carving insects. Not enough. and so. The poems that Liu Xin "stolen" can be widely circulated in scholars. And Liu Xin has an unfathomable skill in Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's eyes. Little is known from the outside world. if not. Xu Shu would never come up with such a competition project to save his face.
Zhu Rong's admiration for Liu Xin's martial arts is in all five ways. This is also the main reason why she wants to marry Liu Xin. Hearing Xu Shu actually proposed to compare swordsmanship. Suddenly, it seemed that a monster was found. Covering his mouth and staring at Xu Shu, he looked up and down. Finally couldn't help but laughed out with a "pouch". This laugh is really charming. Seeing Xu Shu dumbfounded. Contained hurriedly. Take a step back. Shen Sheng asked: "Liu Xin. You are still not compared."
