Luo Fan smiled, Wu Jiuzhen wrote very straightforwardly, she was going to publicly select her son-in-law. Moreover, her choice of son-in-law is not limited to identity or status. As long as she has the ability, even a beggar can participate.
Luo Fan was looking amused when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the crowd of onlookers in front of him.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw Qi Buyi, the crazy fortune teller from yesterday. At this time, Qi Buyi was wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a cloth sash hanging on his shoulders, holding a "divine fortune teller" cloth trick in his hand, and talking lively to a group of people.
Listening to the crowd, he said: "Everyone, everyone. Wu Jiuzhen is recognized as the most talented woman in the world. You see clearly in this couplet, no matter tall, short, fat or thin, no matter from a poor family or a wealthy family, as long as they are men, they can do it." Participate in the selection of a son-in-law in the Wu Mansion. If you can become the son-in-law of the Wu Mansion, you will be prosperous in the future."
The crowd laughed.
A hunchbacked little old man came forward and deliberately teased: "Fortune teller, do you think that a seventy-year-old man like me can also participate?"
Qi Buyi also laughed directly and said: "Hey, of course you can participate. The arena is in five days. As long as you don't die of old age within five days, you will definitely be able to participate."
The crowd laughed again, watching the old man laugh. The old man blushed with anger and said angrily: "You damn fortune teller, you cursed me to death, right? You deserve to be alone in the world and not able to eat!"
Qi Buyi held up his hands to apologize again and said with a smile: "Hey, old man, please don't be angry, I'm joking with you. I see you are a bright light in the heaven, full of arrogance, and you won't be old even if you live to be one hundred and twenty years old. Haha!"
After hearing this compliment, the old man finally became happy again.
There were several young knights from other places in the crowd who also stood and listened clearly. One of them was twenty years old, and the young man with Lengjian on his back asked curiously: "Sir, you said that Wu Jiuzhen is also a world-famous beauty and talented woman. Anyone can participate in the selection of a son-in-law. Isn't she afraid that someone will accidentally choose that son-in-law?" Old and ugly? Will she really be willing to marry then?"
Everyone looked back and saw that the clothes of these young people were very different from Long Cheng. Look at them all wearing lynx leather jackets, yellow cotton trousers, and deerskin boots. They all carried long swords on their backs and looked majestic, as if they were wealthy children from the north.
Qi Buyi took a look at it and said with a smile: "This young hero is from out of town. Are you excited too? Don't worry, no matter where you are from, as long as you have real ability, you can give it a try. This time, choose a son-in-law. , the number one talented woman personally sets the test, and will never let the incompetent and unlearned take advantage of the loophole. So, don’t care about others, just feel in your belly whether you have the true ability to defeat the heroes and come out on top. "
When everyone heard this, they nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! If there is truth, then try it. If you don't have the ability, just go home."
The young man was also dissatisfied and snorted: "I am a disciple of the Sword Sect of the Northwest Tianshan Mountains. I have read ancient and modern poems and books since I was a child. I have also acquired various martial arts. I can be considered to be both civil and military. I am still afraid of you, a young man like Longcheng, who wants to choose a son-in-law." The arena cannot be used. However, I have heard in the northwest that Wu Jiuzhen is also in her mid-twenties. She is not married yet at such an old age. She is ugly and no one wants it. Otherwise, why bother setting up this arena? ?”
When the people heard this, they all looked angry.
A big man pointed directly and yelled: "Boy, you are looking for a fight, right? You are from out of town and don't understand the internal affairs, so don't stand in front of others and talk nonsense. Lord Wenxiang is a kind person, and the Wu family The eldest lady is the most talented woman and the most beautiful woman in Dragon City. She just suffered a misfortune seven or eight years ago, so she didn't get married. You don't know, don't talk nonsense!"
All the people also criticized him one after another, making the young man blush with shame. When Luo Fan took a look, he was really kind and helpful. Unexpectedly, Wu Sanwen has a good reputation here.
Seeing everyone criticizing the young man, Qi Buyi hurriedly intervened and said, "Hey, hey, don't make any noise. This young hero is from out of town. He is young and doesn't know what is going on here. Let's not blame him. Otherwise, I will give some advice to the young men." Tell me about this Wu family story, so you can spread the word about it when you return to the northwest."
When the people heard that they wanted to tell stories, no matter whether they were good or bad, they all applauded.
Qi Buyi began to speak: "By the way, this Wu family has been a literary family since the Jinwu Dynasty. Their family has been in charge of the Tianwen Pavilion in the palace for generations. I wonder if you know what Tianwen Pavilion is?"
Most of the people had never studied and did not understand such things, so they shook their heads. Those who knew it pretended to be profound, shook their heads proudly, and laughed at these common people as uneducated.
When no one answered, Qi Buyi continued: "Tianwen Pavilion was built eight hundred years ago and contains all the important classics and historical materials in the world. The duty of the Wu family for generations is to guard and organize these materials. Think about it. , Ordinary people can read a few books in a lifetime, but people from the Wu family have read almost all the books in the world. Can you tell me how knowledgeable their family is?"
Everyone nodded seriously and praised each other. It turns out that the Wu family is so powerful, otherwise everyone wouldn’t know it.
Seeing everyone's interest, Qi Buyi continued: "After the demise of the previous dynasty, the first generation of Tiandu King Li Yunfeng ordered the Wu family to continue to be in charge of Tianwen Pavilion. Up to now, it is the nineteenth generation, that is, Wen Xiangwu Sanwen. Unfortunately, although the Wu family is highly educated, it is not prosperous. In Wu Sanwen's generation, only Wu Jiuzhen is the only daughter left. However, although she is only an only daughter, her knowledge is unparalleled in the world. Even his father is not as good as Bai Yi. Do you know why?"
In the crowd, there was an old scholar who had long wanted to show off his knowledge. He immediately stroked his beard and answered: "No one knows about Longcheng. Wu Jiuzhen was a born prodigy, a sage reincarnated by an immortal. She was born with a photographic memory and could read hundreds of books a day. The ability to read. She entered the school at the age of seven, and within just a few months, the teacher no longer had the ability to teach her. And when she was a teenager, she had read all the books in the world. Anyone who was knowledgeable and came to the Wu Mansion to seek advice from her would be dejected. She returned after a great defeat. It is precisely because of this that she was regarded by the people of the world as the first of the three chiefs of Dragon City, the Wen chief and the Wu Jiuzhen."
Everyone praised him, he was worthy of being born into a literary family, and this literary immortal should be born into his family.
Qi Buyi cupped his hands and smiled and said: "The old gentleman is indeed a well-educated man, and what he said is absolutely right. Wu Jiuzhen is indeed a well-deserved literary leader. In terms of knowledge, there should be no one in the world who can compare with her. It is hard to say whether there is anyone in the world who is afraid of her. "
The young man just now frowned and said, "I've been listening to you for a long time, just bragging about her intelligence. But you still haven't said why Wu Jiuzhen hasn't married yet at such an old age?"
Qi Buyi smiled and said: "Don't worry, young hero, that's not what I was saying. Seven years ago, in Dragon City, apart from Wu Jiuzhen, there was one person who was famous all over the world. There was another person who was also extremely smart, and his reputation was also resounding throughout Dragon City. And he He is Gao Wan, Wu Jiuzhen’s childhood sweetheart, and Wu Jiuzhen’s husband in her early years!”
The young man frowned and asked in question: "It turns out that I have promised you a long time ago. After talking for a long time, it was such a simple reason. I thought you were going to say something. Isn't it just that I promised you? Then Gao Wan Then, why didn't the two of them get together? They couldn't have died, right?"
Everyone was annoyed again. This kid can't speak. Just now he was bragging about his versatility in both civil and military affairs, but he doesn't even understand the basic etiquette of avoiding the dead. He's nothing like an all-rounder.
Qi Buyi smiled and said: "Young hero guessed it right. It can be said that Gao Wan was jealous of talents. When he was eighteen years old, Gao Wan was no longer alive. And the Gao family was originally a scholarly family, and Gao Wan's father Gao Fengling and Wen Xiang Wu Sanwen were close friends. Good friends. The two families are very close. Gao Wan and Wu Jiuzhen grew up together since childhood. Wu Jiuzhen can read ten books a day. Although Gao Wan cannot reach it, he is also a child prodigy known to everyone. He has read many books since he was a child. Speaking of this Gao Wan's reputation spread throughout Dragon City, but not because of his talents. It was because of his appearance. It is said that when he was sixteen years old, he had the appearance of a fairy and was extremely elegant. For example, Xian Luo, the most famous water hero in the world today Tianyao and Yuhong Xianlang Sima Yuliang are a hundred times more handsome and a hundred times more romantic!"
The young man was full of disbelief and said with disdain: "Fuck you! You are a fortune teller or a storyteller. How can there be such a good-looking person in the world? Even the most good-looking people are still human beings, not the immortals written in books or painted in paintings. "
Qi Buyi smiled and said: "What this young hero said is true. My words may be a bit exaggerated. But when it comes to Gao Wan, everyone in the major families in Dragon City knew about it. The daughters of those major families who had not yet left the cabinet, I queued up all day long to take a peek at him. I even heard that Li Yilong, the king of Tiandu at that time, also wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law!"
The young man scoffed again: "You guys in Dragon City are so interesting, and you can't show off even if you have a little bit of ability. Then you said Gao Wan was so good, how did he die? Couldn't he have been killed by a girl?"
Qi Buyi suddenly pointed his finger and said with a smile: "You're right. He didn't die by looking at it, but by being poisoned. However, he wasn't poisoned by poison, but was forced to death by albizia medicine!"
