Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 281 Are you willing to become my disciple?

"I want to meet that talented man." Mr. Zou picked up his pen and wrote a few words next to "Frost freezes in the ancient temple, the bell sounds are silent."

Mr. Yuan read: "Clouds obscure the distant peaks, and the wild geese's cries are faint. Guan Nan's literary talent remains the same, but I wonder what the talented scholar's second line is."

"Since you and I are both interested in him, why not invite him over to discuss something?"

"I have no objection. What do you think of Xiu Wen?"

Kong Jijiu thought about it and nodded. If Lord Xiao Jiang continued to stay there, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause, so it was better to keep him by his side and watch over him.

"Go and invite someone over, including the number one scholar."

Mr. Yuan's disciples left immediately.

Over there, the provocateur racked his brains but couldn't come up with a pair that matched Jiang Yueyang's. Helplessly, he could only feel ashamed of himself.

Almost everyone present tried to match the numbers in their minds, but no one could tell their own pair.

Maybe he didn’t get it right, or maybe he was not satisfied with it and was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Someone wanted to know what Jiang Yueyang's second line was, so they asked with a smile, "Young Master, your first line is so wonderful, I wonder what your second line is?"

Jiang Yueyang smiled lightly, her red lips parted slightly: "My second line is not surprising, why don't you let my brother tell me about his second line first?"

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows at Jiang Xun, her eyes seemed to say, Brother, let them see how powerful you are.

Jiang Xun smiled helplessly and shook his head, then bowed to everyone and said, "In that case, I will present my humble performance."

"Mr. Jiang, please."

"The bells of the ancient temple are silent in the frost, the moonlight fades across the broken bridge in the wind. What do you think?"

Everyone applauded, "Excellent! Master Jiang's couplet is not only well-balanced, but also beautiful in conception."

Jiang Yueyang even deliberately raised his voice and praised: "Brother, you are amazing. I admire you! Unlike someone who boasts of his talent and looks down on others with arrogance."

Everyone present knew who she was talking about. They just laughed dryly and kept silent. It was difficult to respond to this question.

The provocateur saw everyone's strange expressions and immediately felt ashamed. He couldn't help but say angrily, "Young Master, you didn't come up with the second line yourself, and asked your cousin to do it. Are you trying to divert everyone's attention and let the matter go?"

Jiang Yueyang tutted his words, "Sir, I'm really confused by what you said. How could the person who came up with the couplet not know the second line? Unless he didn't come up with the couplet himself."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you know something, just tell me. Why are you stalling for time here? Are you trying to get your cousin to help you cheat?"

Jiang Yueyang was really a little angry, "Then just listen to me carefully..."

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yueyang was interrupted by a voice behind her before she could finish her words, and she subconsciously turned around to look.

"Who are you?" Jiang Xun asked.

"My name is He Ming. My master invites you and your brother to come over and meet him."

"Who is your husband?"

He Ming raised his hand and pointed to a pavilion, and the people present looked in the direction of his hand.

Kong Jijiu and Mr. Yuan and Mr. Zou were standing at the edge of the pavilion's railing, looking over here and nodding with a smile.

"It's Elder Yuan and Elder Zou. Priest Kong is also here."

"I also want to go over and get to know them."

"Who wouldn't want to!"

When Jiang Yueyang saw Kong Jijiu, she felt inexplicably guilty.

At this time, He Ming asked again, "Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xiao, can you please move?"

Jiang Xun nodded, "Let's go."

Afterwards, Jiang Xun dragged Jiang Yueyang and He Ming away. The Third Prince and Ye Wuhen followed without caring that they hadn't been invited.

Everyone watched them walk away, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think Master Yuan asked them to come over?"

"Maybe he heard about what happened here."

When the people sent by Wensheng arrived here, Jiang Yueyang and others happened to pass by him.

Seeing that it was Yuan Lao's disciple He Ming who took the person away, he thought about it and returned the same way.

Soon, Jiang Yueyang stood in front of Kong Jijiu and the others. He Ming walked over to stand beside Yuan Lao, his thin lips moving.

Elder Yuan and Elder Zou's gazes fell on Jiang Yueyang. Jiang Xun bowed and said, "I greet Elder Yuan, Elder Zou, and Chief Lieutenant Kong."

Mr. Yuan nodded in satisfaction, "No need to be so polite, please sit down."

"Who are these two?" Only then did Old Zou notice the Third Prince and Ye Wuhen.

Kong Jijiu gave Jiang Yueyang a wink, asking her to introduce someone.

Jiang Yueyang understood and said, "This is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and this is my friend Ye Wuhen."

Upon hearing that it was the third prince, Elder Yuan and Elder Zou were stunned for a moment before bowing to greet him.

The Third Prince waved his hand and took the first seat. "I came uninvited, gentlemen. Do you mind?"

Mr. Yuan smiled slightly and said, "You've already sat down. Isn't it redundant to ask this?"

"Please do as you please, Third Prince." Old Zou gestured to his disciples to serve tea.

After the four of them were seated, the disciples of Master Zou and Master Yuan silently served them tea.

As Elder Yuan sipped his tea, he said, "We old fellows all know what happened over there. But I don't know the young master's name? How old is he?"

Seeing that he was looking at her, Jiang Yueyang looked at Kong Jijiu inquiringly.

Kong Jijiu nodded, and Jiang Yueyang said, "My name is Jiang Yueyang, and I'm fifteen years old."

"She works with me," Kong Jijiu added.

"It turns out Miss Jiang is actually Master Jiang."

Jiang Yueyang was a little surprised, "Mr. Zou knows me?"

"I heard Xiu Wen mention it."

Jiang Yueyang said "Oh". She knew that Xiu Wen was Kong Jijiu's pen name, but she didn't expect that Kong Jijiu would mention her to his friends.

"I heard Miss Jiang just came up with the first line of a couplet: 'Frost freezes the ancient temple, the bells ring in silence.' I wonder what the second line is..."

"Speaking of the second line, I'm even more curious about Mr. Yuan's second line."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yuan laughed heartily. "My second line of the couplet is 'The moon sets over the lonely city, the horn sounds cold.' Please, Miss Jiang."

"Then I'll show you my ugly side." Jiang Yueyang cleared her throat. "My second line is 'Snow covers the pine forest, the crane's shadow is alone.'"

When Mr. Yuan and Mr. Zou heard her second line, they nodded in satisfaction, with admiration in their eyes.

Zou Lao stroked his beard and smiled, "Miss Jiang, this couplet is wonderful. White cranes among the pines, covered with snow. Not only is the imagery strong, but the artistic conception is also profound."

"When I was her age, I couldn't write such beautiful lines."

"Hahahaha... Not only can you not compose a good sentence, you can't even write a decent poem. If you tell me this now, I guess no one will believe it."

Old Yuan glared at Old Zou and said, "Old man, stop talking. Don't I have any dignity left?"

After saying that, he slowly shifted his gaze to look at Jiang Yueyang, "Miss Jiang, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Jiang Yueyang was stunned, Jiang Xun and the Third Prince also opened their eyes wide in shock, but Kong Jijiu was somewhat surprised.

"Why are you reacting like this? Are you surprised?"
