Hearing Xue Zixuan's words, Qimeng said: "Thank you Mr. Xue for your kindness, but I'm afraid it will be inconvenient today. There are still guests here."
Xue Zixuan then looked at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was also looking at him, but did not speak, wanting to see how Qimeng would handle it.
He was a little surprised, was Qimeng already so famous? People even came from Qingzhou.
You must know that Qingzhou is quite far away from Yongping County. The other party came all the way here. It seems that Qimeng is indeed famous far and wide.
Xue family!
The corner of Xu Ning's mouth curled up. He happened to be trying to seize the Xue family's wine business, but he didn't expect to meet someone here.
Moreover, he is a scholar, has published books, and has a government background. No wonder he dares to rush directly to the back.
Hearing that Qimeng rejected him, Xue Zixuan looked a little ugly.
"Miss Qimeng, please think carefully. My uncle is the magistrate of Qingzhou County. If you make me happy, I can redeem your life. I guess you don't want to stay here in Zuichun Tower."
"Thank you for your love, sir, but I really can't do it tonight." Qimeng glanced at Xu Ning, and when she saw him eating food and drinking, she knew that Xu Ning wanted her to handle it.
Normally, she would have been happy when Xue Zixuan came over. After all, Xue Zixuan was considered a talented person, and his book "Three Lives" was really good. The love in it made Qimeng shed tears.
But now that Xu Ning is here, and she invited her here, she must be on Xu Ning's side, and Xu Ning's poems have made her worth skyrocket. I made another one for her tonight. If it spreads, people will know again. Attract attention.
Qimeng prefers Xu Ning, who writes poetry, to Xue Zixuan, who writes books, so even if she knows that the other person is the nephew of the magistrate of Qingzhou, she doesn't buy it.
Xue Zixuan's face turned completely gloomy. He didn't expect that he had come all the way to spend money, but the other party actually refused. He said sullenly: "You are toasting and you will be fined if you don't eat."
Xu Ning put down his chopsticks at this time, wiped his mouth, and said: "Miss Qimeng said that she is not free tonight, is it interesting for you to stay here shamelessly?"
"How brave! How dare you speak to me like this!" Xue Zixuan was angry.
Xu Ning said calmly: "This is Yongping, not Qingzhou. It's useless for you to show off your authority in front of me. But since you came all the way, I can give you a chance. If you want to meet Miss Qimeng, Then show your true skills. If you can beat me in poetry, I will leave immediately. If you can't win, then stop harassing Qimeng. Do you dare to bet?"
Xue Zixuan frowned. He also knew Qimeng's rules. Only those who won the poetry contest were qualified to enter her yard.
This person made such a request, so he must have a good grasp of poetry. Although he claims to be a scholar and has published a book, he really doesn't have very high attainments in poetry.
He narrowed his eyes and felt angry in his heart. He was the nephew of the magistrate of Qingzhou. If anyone else saw him, they would be here to curry favor with him.
He didn't expect that Qimeng would reject him, and someone would compete with him in poetry. If he lost, he would lose face, and he would definitely publicize it. It was simply hateful!
But Xue Zixuan just gave in, but he couldn't do it. He thought for a while and said: "I am the official in charge of the dynasty, do you have any fame?"
Xu Ning shook his head.
Xue Zixuan sneered, "You want to compete with me even though you are naked, and if you win, you will be bullied by me. How about this, I will make a pair, and if you can match it, you will win?"
When Xu Ning heard this, he knew that Xue Zixuan must not be very good at poetry, otherwise he would definitely be competing with him if he were another talented person.
It's just that Xu Ning is not too sure if the other party is going to match up, but now he can't give in. If he really can't match up, he has a way to protect Qimeng.
That is to let Qimeng keep pouring wine for Xue Zixuan. People in the other world are used to drinking low-alcohol wine. If they drink modern liquor, they will definitely get drunk after a few drinks. In that case, they will not be able to touch Qimeng.
He said, "It's a deal."
Xue Zixuan nodded, "Then listen carefully, the first couplet is about sleeping with an empty window in a cold window." After saying this, he glanced at Qimeng with ill intentions.
This couplet was heard by Xue Zixuan when he was chatting with other literati. The person who mentioned this couplet at that time said that no one could match this couplet.
These seven characters are all Bao Hijab, and they mean that a woman is lonely and alone in an empty house. If you want to match this couplet, they must all have the same radicals and the meanings must match.
At that time, Xue Zixuan and many literati, including some great talents who were good at writing poems, all matched the couple, but no one matched it neatly. Now that the first couplet is taken out, it is determined that Xu Ning cannot match the second couplet.
Xu Ning was originally prepared to lose, but after hearing Xue Zixuan's answer, he was stunned for a moment. It sounded familiar. It seemed that he had read it online and was quite impressed. Only the last word changed.
He smiled and said: "You are a good pair, and can even be called exquisite. It is indeed difficult."
Hearing Xu Ning's words, Xue Zixuan smiled and felt sorry for herself. Qimeng's face turned a little pale. She was also talented, but when she heard the first line, she couldn't think of the second line.
Now Xu Ning also said that it was difficult. Could it be that this great talent couldn't save her?
"But..." Xu Ning changed the subject, "Unfortunately, I happened to come up with one."
After finishing speaking, he said: "The lingering red thread ends the fate."
"The seven characters in your first couplet all have treasure hijabs, and the seven characters in my second couplet are also surrounded by twisted silk. You said that women are unbearably lonely and stay alone in an empty house, but I think that we can match up with each other and form a good relationship. In that way, we will not be lonely. I won’t be guarding the room empty anymore.”
"Master Xue, what do you think of my couple?"
"Okay, Mr. Xu is truly a god."
Before Xue Zixuan could speak, Qimeng beside her had already spoken, with a look of joy on her face, and a pair of beautiful eyes that were like water, unable to leave Xu Ning's body.
In her heart, she was even guessing whether the Yue Lao matchmaking Xu Ning mentioned was referring to herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Xue Zixuan also froze on the spot. He didn't expect that Xu Ning could actually confront him, and he was a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Mr. Xue, please come back."
Xu Ning smiled.
"Hmph! Just wait!"
Xue Zixuan flicked his sleeves, put down a scene, and walked away angrily.
"Sir, I would like to give you a drink."
Qimeng felt happy and filled herself a glass. The more she looked at Xu Ning, the more she liked it. She drank the wine in one gulp. Although it was a bit spicy in her throat, it didn't matter. Xu Ning was so talented, so she had to drink two glasses with her to express her feelings. affection.
"Qimeng, drink slowly, this wine makes you drunk easily."
"It's okay, but Master, your wine is indeed different. It was a bit spicy at first, but now it feels mellow."
Qimeng's cheeks were red, and she poured herself another glass and drank it.
"Mr... Young Master, how about staying at Qimeng's place tonight like...? Let the slave... the slave family take good care of you."
Qimeng opened her mouth, and as soon as she finished speaking, she lay on the table and passed out drunk.
Xu Ning was a little speechless. He said it was easy to get drunk, but you still drank three glasses. Now you are better. You should be drunk.
I still want to try your overlapping portal, but it seems that I will have to wait another day.
Although he could stay, Xu Ning felt that it was better when Qimeng was awake, so that he could unlock more poses.
