When the people around him heard Li Quan's words, their eyes suddenly lit up. Everyone's eyes were full of anticipation. There was a good show to watch, and who didn't want to watch it? The most important thing was that Li Quan was quite famous in the capital.
Although he is not a top talent, he is definitely a high-ranking person. He challenged Yunze at this time, and everyone really wanted to see how Li Quan tortured Yunze.
Among them, Gao Ying was the most excited. He had just been scolded by Yunze and lost all his face. He also wanted to take the opportunity to see Yunze make a fool of himself.
On the other hand, the Jinganhou family looked at Li Quan with strange expressions, as if they were looking at a fool. Marquis Wu An also looked away, not knowing how to speak.
He really wanted to persuade Li Quan not to humiliate himself. You must know that Marquis Wu An had personally seen Yunze fight against the four great talents of Ningsu alone.
The four great talents were in the limelight at that time, and their literary talents were also very good, but in the end they were killed by Yunze. Even if Li Quan was slightly stronger than the four great talents, he would still be pinned to the ground by Yunze. friction.
But he didn't dare to say it out loud if he reminded him. Didn't you see the excitement in Marquis Jing'an's eyes? The old man probably also wanted to see Yunze's performance. If he messed up this matter, Marquis Jing'an and he would probably become enemies.
At the same time, everyone looked at Yunze. Everyone expected Yunze to agree, whether they knew Yunze was powerful or thought Yunze was a fool. Everyone has their own thoughts.
However, Yunze looked at Li Quan indifferently and said: "You... want to bet with me, but you don't want to yet!"
As soon as Yunze said these words, everyone around him was disappointed. The Jing'anhou family was very disappointed. Although they knew Yunze's talent and learning, they still regretted not having met him in person.
But Yunze obviously wanted to challenge him, so they couldn't force him.
As for those who wanted to see Yunze's jokes, they felt that Yunze was timid and did not dare to fight, especially Li Quan and Gao Ying. They thought Yunze was afraid. That's why I made such an excuse.
"Is it because he's not worthy, or because he doesn't dare... Mr. Yun is just a idiot, so he doesn't dare to challenge! If Mr. Yun still has some backbone, don't let me look down upon him!"
Li Quan looked at Yunze coldly and used the provoking method. When the people around him heard this, they all looked at Yunze with amusement and teasing. Everyone wanted to see if Yunze would become angry and turn around and leave.
After all, if he really agreed, Yunze would definitely be tortured by Li Quan.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Yunze just looked at Li Quan indifferently, and said with disdain in his eyes: "Who do you think you are, you don't deserve to look down on me..."
Yunze's words made Li Quan's face turn red and he was speechless for a long time. Yes, who is he? He is not a great scholar or a famous person.
Is he worthy of someone who is just relying on his father's shadow to pretend to be here? He opens his mouth and shuts up and says he looks down on others! Yunze's words were so shocking that he didn't even know how to refute.
Refuting that he is the son of the right prime minister is still a slap in the face. Refuting that he has some achievements, he has no achievements that he can show off.
However, soon, a sense of pride appeared on his face, and he said to Yunze: "Just because I am an excellent student in the Painting and Calligraphy Academy, my paintings have been praised by the Holy Emperor! Do you think this is enough to look down on you!"
As soon as Li Quan said these words, the people around him nodded involuntarily. In the Jing Dynasty, because Song Ji liked calligraphy and painting, the status of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy was even higher than that of the Imperial College.
After all, the imperial examinations of the Jing Dynasty had calligraphy and painting subjects, and the proportion of them was still very high. Since Song Ji established the calligraphy and painting academy, how many children of the powerful wanted to enter it.
The dignitaries in the capital are proud to study in calligraphy and painting academies. In everyone's mind, those who can enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy are geniuses. After all, one cannot enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy casually.
Li Quan brought up this identity, making everyone feel that Li Quan was qualified to look down on Yunze. Not to mention, Li Quan's paintings have been approved by the emperor, so Li Quan is even more qualified.
"Mr. Yun, Mr. Li is a genius in calligraphy and painting. With his status, it would be fair to say that he looks down on you." At this time, someone next to him spoke for Li Quan.
One person spoke, and then many others followed. This was the best opportunity to curry favor with Li Quan, and of course they couldn't miss it. After all, Li Quan's father was the right prime minister.
Although they were in Marquis Jing'an's Mansion, these people were not afraid of offending Marquis Jing'an. Speaking of which, they felt that Marquis Jing'an had not spoken. They instinctively thought that Marquis Jing'an actually didn't care about Yunze. Very caring.
Hearing the flattering words from everyone, Li Quan couldn't help but feel proud on his face. He looked at Yunze and said with a mocking look on his face: "How about it, Mr. Yun, I am now qualified to look down on you! If you have the courage, if not, you will agree to compete with me for your literary talent. Mr. I’m not going to bully you in calligraphy and painting. It’s better to bet on your skills in calligraphy and painting!”
In the end, he even pretended to be generous.
However, just as the pride on his face showed, he saw Yunze calmly saying to Li Quan: "Are you the top student in the Painting and Calligraphy Academy? That is indeed amazing!"
As soon as Yunze said these words, Li Quan's expression became even more joyful. He thought that Yunze also recognized his greatness, but his pride lasted only a moment. Yunze continued:
"I heard that there is a new Jijiu in your calligraphy and painting academy. I wonder if you know about this!"
Yunze's question was a bit strange. What they were talking about now was whether Li Quan had the right to look down on Yunze. This has nothing to do with whether the Calligraphy and Painting Academy came to offer wine.
At this time, there were people around who were dissatisfied with Li Quan and said: "Mr. Yun, there is a new wine ceremony coming to the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. I know that there are not many people in the whole capital who don't know about it. But this has something to do with you and Mr. Li. what relationship!"
"Yes, Mr. Yun is probably afraid and wants to change the subject. If Mr. Yun is afraid, why not just admit defeat and just say you don't dare to compete with Mr. Li? We won't laugh at you!"
"Haha...yeah! It's better to just admit defeat and change the subject."
The crowd burst into laughter, teasing and ridiculing Yunze.
When Luo Qingcen heard this, he looked at those who mocked Yunze with pity. She was looking forward to what Yunze would say next. She didn't know what those people would think after hearing it.
While everyone was mocking, Li Quan looked at Yun Ze and said jokingly: "Yes, Mr. Yun, everyone knows about the new offering of wine in the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. Does this have anything to do with our current affairs! You... …I’m afraid!”
His eyes were full of contempt and ridicule.
Speaking of which, the fact that the Calligraphy and Painting Academy came to offer wine had already spread among those who wanted to enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy. Everyone even heard that the new sword wine was personally recruited by the emperor.
However, these people don't know who the new sacrificial wine is. Only some people in the Painting and Calligraphy Academy really know. Those people only know their names. As for who the person is! Nobody knows.
However, at this moment, Yunze looked at Li Quan playfully and said, "Then do you know the name of the new sacrificial wine!?"
As soon as Yunze said these words, Li Quan looked at Yunze disdainfully, with a hint of pride in his eyes and said: "If you ask others, maybe you don't know this, but if you ask me, I really know it. . The new sacrifice wine of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy is named Yun and Ze! Why... do you want me to introduce you to you!"
Li Quan thought Yunze wanted to ask him who the new sacrifice wine was, so that he could curry favor with the new sacrifice wine and see if he could enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy through him.
However, as soon as Li Quan spoke these words, several people around him faintly felt that something was wrong. Is your surname Yun? ! Why is this surname such a coincidence? Although, they don't know what Yunze's name is.
But they knew clearly that the grandson-in-law of Marquis Jing'an was named Yun. Didn't they see everyone calling him Mr. Yun?
However, when everyone looked at Yunze's ridiculously young face, they felt that it had nothing to do with the calligraphy and painting academy's wine ceremony. After all, Yunze looks younger than Li Quan. Such a young man would be a wine sacrifice in the calligraphy and painting academy.
It is precisely because of this idea that Li Quan does not think that Yun Ze, whose surname is Yun, will be the sacrificial wine of the calligraphy and painting academy.
"It turns out that Mr. Li knows the name of the sacrificial wine. If this is the case, then I wonder if Mr. Li knows the name of Yun!" Yunze looked at Li Quan jokingly.
As soon as he said these words, Li Quan's originally proud face suddenly froze inexplicably. He could see something was wrong from Yunze's expression. Faintly, he seemed to feel that there was something that he had overlooked.
But before he could figure it out, Marquis Jing'an said calmly: "My grandson-in-law's name is... Yunze!"
As soon as he said these words, the whole place fell silent. The person who had just been mocking Yunze and saying that Yunze wanted to change the topic suddenly felt as if someone was pinching his throat, and his face turned blue and red.
Marquis Jing'an personally proved to Yunze that no matter how stupid they were, they could still tell that the Yunze in front of them was the new sacrificial wine of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy in Li Quan's mouth.
But how is this possible! The Yunze in front of him was so young that he could become the sacrificial wine of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy. He was a teacher at the Painting and Calligraphy Academy. It is difficult for a person of Yunze's age to enter a calligraphy and painting academy. Not to mention becoming a sacrificial wine.
"Hmph... That's just a coincidence of names. Just by you, how could it be a wine offering from the Painting and Calligraphy Academy? I don't believe it!" Li Xin, who was originally pale, came back to his senses and quickly denied it. He couldn't accept this fact and couldn't accept it. Want to believe this fact.
Moreover, he instinctively felt that Yunze was using his own name to make a fuss, how could he be a wine sacrificer at the Painting and Calligraphy Academy.
But as soon as Li Quan said these words, Yunze saw an official identity card in his hand. Generally, officials have official seals, but the calligraphy and painting academy also has an official badge to prove their identity.
The moment they saw the official sign in Yunze's hand, the people around him froze again. Those who had just mocked Yunze and promoted Li Quan suddenly felt ashamed. They feel like they can't hold their heads up.
Li Quan, a top student in the calligraphy and painting academy, was so awesome that he opened and shut his mouth to say that he looked down on Yunze, but his achievements were nothing compared to Yunze.
Li Quan looked at the official badge in Yunze's hand and felt his face burning. He had swollen his face. Thinking about the proud look on his face just now, I felt like a clown.
For a moment, he didn't know how to refute. Besides, Yunze's name is a coincidence, can he say it out loud?
"You...you..." He hesitated for a long time, then sat down with a pale face, looking like a defeated rooster.
Yunze looked at Li Quan and mocked: "Do you still think you are worthy of looking down on me now? Do you still think you are worthy of competing with me?"
Speaking of this, Yunze's expression turned cold, and his voice had a hint of paper as he said:
"Furthermore, you opened and shut your mouth to let me compete with you, and you even used my fiancée as a bet with you. Who do you think you are! My fiancée is also worthy of being used as a bet by you. Are you too proud of yourself? "
"If you really want to bet, I can make it happen for you. Why don't we make a bet on something else? Whoever loses, get out of here! When you see the other person in the future, respectfully call him teacher three times, how about it! How dare you... dare Bet?"
Luo Qingcen, who was on the side, heard that Yunze was unwilling to gamble, and actually did not want to take her as a bet. Her heart suddenly felt sweet, and her face was full of happiness.
Those who originally thought that Yunze might be timid later realized that it was not that Yunze was afraid of gambling, but that he really didn't want to gamble with his woman.
When Marquis Jing'an, his son and two grandsons heard this, they nodded unconsciously. Yunze was able to protect Luo Qingcen in this way, so it was not in vain that they chose him in the end. Several people were even more pleased with Yunze.
Now, Yunze Baqi made a bet with Li Quan, which made them feel excited. Especially the bet mentioned by Yunze also made them take a breath of cold air.
Compared with gambling with Luo Qingcen, if you lose, you will be ridiculed, but compared with having to crawl out of Jing'an Marquis Mansion if you lose, this bet is a bit harsh. No matter who loses, he will definitely become a laughing stock in this capital.
Moreover, he is still the kind of laughingstock who has lost his face and will never be able to hold his head high in front of the dignitaries in the capital. This was even worse than killing that person.
Before everyone could think whether Li Quan dared to gamble or not, Yunze looked at Gao Ying who was looking at him with resentment on his face, and said mockingly: "Master Gao, do you want to gamble too? It's okay. You can do it two-on-one! I’ll take it.”
Now that he has offended, Yunze also knows that he has no chance to have a good relationship with these people. Besides, he and these two people are not the same people. Since he has offended, why not offend him to the end.
This guy just wanted to make a fool of himself. If he didn't take him with him now, then he wouldn't be Yunze who would retaliate. In Danyang City, he killed Huang, Zheng, and Hou's father and son.
When Gao Ying heard this, he looked stunned. He didn't expect that Yunze would dare to bring him with him. He was angry at the same time, but he was also happy. He was also somewhat talented. Although he was not as good as Li Quan, if it was two against one, he would be sure It's even bigger.
In order to take revenge on Yunze, this guy didn't even want to lose face or practice martial ethics.
Li Quan's expression changed, and he looked at Yunze coldly. Just now, he had been humiliated, but now Yunze had obviously given him another chance to regain his position.
He was confident that he would definitely surpass Yunze in terms of literary talent, and of course he was not afraid of Yunze's challenge. It was just a pity that he could not use Luo Qingcen as a bet.
However, it doesn't matter to him if it can't be used as a bet. As long as Yunze can be defeated, when Yunze climbs out of Jing'an Houfu, he, Yunze, may not have the face to marry Luo Qingcen again.
Even the Marquis of Jing'an may take the initiative to terminate the engagement between Luo Qingcen and Yunze. Maybe Luo Qingcen will have a stalemate with Yunze because of this matter. This accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
"Okay... it's settled, everyone here will bear witness for the three of us!" Li Quan shouted, stood up instantly and said to everyone. From the moment he met Yunze, he had been frustrated by Yunze. He felt that he would soon be able to regain his place at once, and he couldn't help but show excitement and pride on his face.
