readx(); All the talented people opened their mouths and widened their eyes. No one dared to believe the scene in front of them.
Does this mean you don’t want to live
Actually provoke Meng Yushu? Not only did he offend Meng Yushu, but he also took away the fruits in front of Yan Xiu? What a kill-two-birds-with-one-stone move!
The most important thing is that the young man seemed to be sitting there and eating extremely sweetly as if nothing happened.
Too arrogant
Meng Yushu's face was very dark now, and when he took a clear look at the young man sitting next to Yan Xiu, his face was really so dark that he could shed tears.
The blue coarse cloth gown, the coarse cloth square scarf on the head, and the boots on the feet that were worn almost white all showed the other party's identity as a country bumpkin.
A country bumpkin actually landed on his butt first in front of everyone on his own territory
It’s simply unbearable!
Just as he was about to run away, a soft whisper rang in his ears.
"Act according to etiquette, act according to etiquette..."
Meng Yushu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the voice was coming from Yan Xiu, who was sitting next to the young man. At this moment, Yan Xiu's face was as cold as ice, and his lips were opening and closing constantly.
What I am reciting is the sentence "Act according to etiquette".
"Act according to etiquette?" Meng Yushu frowned, and the hand holding the sword at his waist turned a little white. What did Yan Xiu mean by this? Do you want to behave according to etiquette
But now that someone has stepped on your head, you still have to follow the rules
Suddenly, Meng Yushu thought of the highlight of today's Hundred Flowers Cultural Festival, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something. It turned out to be this...
Thinking of this, Meng Yushu sat on the ground and stood up, gently patted the dust on his butt, and gave a slight salute to Yan Xiu and the young man.
"My dear, Meng Yushu, haven't you asked the young master his name yet?"
Naturally, these words were spoken to the young man, but this scene fell in the eyes of the talented people around him...
All the talented people were immediately dumbfounded.
what happened? Didn't you draw your sword? Can you tolerate this? Moreover, you also asked for the other party’s name? When did Meng Yushu have such a good temper
Totally in disbelief.
The young man was chewing a fruit in his mouth. When he heard Meng Yushu's question, he waved his hand with a look of disdain: "If you have nothing to do, just step aside. I'm still waiting to watch the show."
“…”
The talented people around them were as if they had an egg stuffed in their mouths, and they were completely speechless. Who is this guy wearing a long coat of coarse cloth? Meng Yushu asked a question, but he didn't even bother to answer and just asked him to leave
This magnanimity is really... leaving people speechless.
Meng Yushu was also shocked at this moment. He looked at the young man in front of him carefully and thought about it again. It seems that there is no such person in Huai'an County
Just when he was about to have an attack, he heard Yan Xiu talking again.
"Act according to etiquette, act according to etiquette..."
Meng Yushu's expression changed again and again, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. It took him a full quarter of an hour to suppress the anger rising in his heart.
"Since you have come to the Baihua Cultural Fair, you should know that the highlight of the Hundred Flowers Cultural Festival is the word 'flower'. Why don't we come and have a bet on it today?" Meng Yushu tried his best to calm down his voice. , but his teeth clenched involuntarily.
"Betting? Well... tell me!" There seemed to be some interest on the young man's face.
"How about we compete with who can take off the oiran's veil first?" Meng Yushu pouted at the high platform behind him and said with a provocative expression.
"Oiran? Is there an oiran today?" The young man's expression seemed slightly surprised.
When Meng Yushu saw it, he sneered in his heart. He was indeed a country bumpkin. He didn't even know the theme of the Baihua Cultural Festival, "Oiran Competition"
Wouldn't it be a bit of a loss of status for me to bet with such a person
However, since Yan Xiu has always been talking about acting according to etiquette, and he has followed the rules of the Baihua Wenhui, I think Yan Xiu will not have any objections anymore, right
"How about it, young master, do you dare or not?"
"As long as whoever takes off the veil of Hua Qiqi first wins?" the young man continued to ask.
"This is natural!" Meng Yushu nodded.
Although the competition at the Baihua Literary Meeting is for the oiran, it is mainly about literary competition. If you want to take off the veil of the oiran, you need to show enough literary talents and win the heart of the oiran in public. Lift the veil and meet.
Meng Yushu didn't think that the country bumpkin in front of him had any literary talent.
To put it bluntly, even if this country bumpkin really had something to offer, he would not be able to make the oiran fall in love just by dressing like this.
Therefore, the outcome of this gambling battle has been determined from the moment the gambling battle was set.
"Okay!" The young man seemed to have no doubts and nodded readily.
Meng Yushu felt happy immediately. This country bumpkin was really brave. He actually dared to bet with him? I can't blame myself for this.
"Since we have decided to have a gambling fight, it would be better if we have a stake!" Meng Yushu said in a persuasive manner.
"Well, you're right!" The young man nodded again, not feeling anything wrong at all.
Meng Yushu thought that was enough. He looked at the young man in front of him, touched his arms, and finally hesitated.
It would be bad if he gambled too much and the guy backed down.
"How about just betting a hundred taels of silver?" Meng Yushu asked tentatively.
"Okay!" When the young man heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Then let's ask Mr. Yan Xiu to be a witness. We will each put down a hundred taels of silver and bet on who can take off the oiran's veil!" After Meng Yushu finished speaking, he took out a hundred taels of silver note from his arms and handed it over. Arriving in front of Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu looked at it, his face suddenly turned cold again, and he kept chanting: "Act according to etiquette, act according to etiquette..."
The young man picked up the banknote with some excitement and looked at it again and again.
"Then please ask the young master to put the banknotes?" Meng Yushu couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw that the young man was just looking but not taking any action.
"Banknote? Oh... It doesn't matter. Don't worry, I won't lose anyway!" Upon hearing this, the young man waved his hand to Meng Yushu with a nonchalant expression on his face.
Meng Yushu's face suddenly turned darker.
What's the meaning? Why don't you take the banknote first for a gambling fight? You want to cheat!
Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw Yan Xiu in front of him again. Meng Yushu swallowed his words again. He completely believed that since Yan Xiu agreed to be a witness, he could not cheat on this guy.
What's more, in Huai'an County, no one dares to cheat on him, Meng Yushu.
"Hmph!" Meng Yushu snorted coldly. Now that the bet has been decided, he has no interest in entangled with the young man anymore, and sits far away alone with his guard.
"Meng Yushu actually bet with that guy on who will take off the oiran's veil first?"
"This is interesting. Didn't Meng Yushu pay attention to the list of people participating in the oiran competition today? Doesn't he know who the oiran is today?"
After hearing the conversation between Meng Yushu and the young man, all the talented people immediately started talking about it.
At this time, a huge three-story boat on the Xin River, covered with gold silk satin, slowly came up from the river. On the top of the boat, a small golden flag with the word "cloud" printed on it fluttered in the wind.
The water surface was rippling, and this painting boat shuttled among a bunch of painting boats. However, no one would compare this painting boat with other painting boats.
Because the owner of this boat represents a real mountain, a mountain that cannot be climbed at all.
"She...how did she come to Huai'an County?" Meng Yushu, who was still confident at first, suddenly changed his face when he saw the boat, and he looked extremely ugly.
He also knew who this boat represented.
Yun Qingwu, a strange woman who made countless talented people from the Great Xia Dynasty fall under her skirt, was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, lyrics, songs, and poems. The most important thing was that no one had ever uncovered the secrets of Yun Qingwu. The veil of dancing clouds.
No one has ever boarded Yun Qingwu's boat!
Of course, this person... refers to a man!
