At the end of the day, Dongyuan Quality Library.
Bai Jiangchuan was in a very happy mood, and there was a flush on his fair face. He picked up a small piece of lamb bone from the plate and threw it on the ground. A snow-white poodle jumped out, crawled at his feet, and nibbled it obediently. bone.
Bai Jiangchuan likes to raise dogs and has raised all kinds of dogs, and this is the thirteenth dog he has raised, because he has killed all the previous twelve dogs.
Bai Jiangchuan only likes to raise obedient dogs. As long as any dog is disobedient, it will only die.
"So, the so-called Young Master Shen Xunhuan is Su Shi, the second young master of General Su's mansion."
Du Heng replied: "Yes."
"Is this Su Shi the uneducated and idle Su Shi?"
"Yes." Du Heng suddenly frowned and said, "It's also the Su Shi who linked up with the capital."
"A link with the capital?" Bai Jiangchuan's eyes narrowed, and he said softly: "Interesting."
Even though Bai Jiangchuan knew Su Shi's true identity, he still wasn't worried at all. Instead, he found the gamble more and more interesting.
"What is our Second Young Master Su doing today?"
Du Hengdao: "According to reports, Su Shi seems to be attending today's Jinghu Poetry Meeting. Li Shangshu's son Li Zhonghong posted a message inviting him."
"Li Zhonghong?" Bai Jiangchuan's eyes lit up: "I'm afraid he didn't have any good intentions in inviting Su Shi. I'm afraid Su Shi won't have an easy time at the poetry meeting."
Then he lazily asked: "Where are Chen Ang and his daughter?"
"They have released all the people they recruited to collect information about Thirty-Six Square Restaurant."
"They went too?"
Du Heng shook his head.
"Then what are they doing?"
Du Heng replied: "They boiled two barrels of plum soup and prepared to sell it to Jinghu Lake."
When he heard the news, Bai Jiangchuan felt even happier.
Because he knew that Chen Ang and his daughter made a hundred barrels of plum soup every day and could not sell it for a few hundred taels of silver a month.
If Chen Ang and his daughter did not take any action, he would be a little worried. Now it seemed that the other party was at the end of their rope, so Bai Jiangchuan was even more relieved.
He was already planning what chips he should ask the General's Mansion for after winning the bet.
Second Young Master Su is much more noble than the others. Naturally, his hands and eyes are much more expensive than others, so the price the General's Mansion has to pay will of course be much greater.
Although Su Shi signed in Shen Xunhuan's name, the fingerprint was Su Shi's, not to mention there were so many witnesses, so Bai Jiangchuan had no worries about the General's Mansion defaulting on its debt.
He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then smiled with satisfaction, because he felt that the taste of the tea was just right.
At this time, the tea is fragrant and the temperature is suitable.
Jinghu is between two mountains. The mountain on the left is called Qingqiu.
Qingqiu is not a high mountain with green grass. Standing on the mountain and looking at it, everything is green.
In a forest in the mountains, two people were walking slowly along the forest. One of them was less than forty, wearing regular clothes, with a dignified appearance and a calm demeanor.
The other person was only sixteen years old. He was wearing an apricot-colored robe and looked as handsome as a woman.
Zuo Xiangting admired the scenery of Qingqiu for a while and felt refreshed and peaceful.
He stood quietly in the forest, looking at the quiet lake at the foot of the mountain, and said slowly: "Central Plains, the three-day period has come. Can anyone match the couplets Su Shi produced?"
Zuo Zhongyuan sighed and said, "It's not easy to correct the second couplet of 'Smoke locks the pond willow'. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it if I give the world's literati thirty days. I don't know where that idiot Su found this." Absolute for the ages.”
Zuo Xiangting said thoughtfully: "You did a good job on this matter."
Although Zuo Zhongyuan was praised, his face did not show any joy. Instead, he sighed: "As soon as I heard this couplet, I knew something was wrong, but the Qin government had already agreed to Su Shi's request, so I couldn't speak. .”
"So I had no choice but to spread the word secretly, and also said that Su Shi wanted to challenge the talented people in the capital with a couplet. In this way, if anyone can counter this couplet, the engagement between the Qin Mansion and the General Mansion will naturally be terminated, and the General Mansion's The prestige will also plummet."
"Even if no one can confront him, in the eyes of the people in the world, Qin Mansion is forced to marry his daughter, and Qin Mansion's reputation will also be hit. And since Qin Mansion has been so humiliated by the General Mansion, even if Qin Mansion marries his daughter, The Su and Qin families will also have grudges. Not to mention..."
"Not to mention what?"
"Li Zhonghong seems to be aloof and arrogant, but in fact he is narrow-minded. In addition, he is infatuated with Qin Nan. The more widely this matter is publicized and the louder the momentum, the more angry and frustrated he will be. Naturally, he will try his best to deal with Su Shi. This time The poetry meeting is just the beginning."
Zuo Xiangting said slowly: "Will Su Shi participate in this Jinghu Poetry Meeting?"
Zuo Zhongyuan was not sure about this either. He mused: "According to common sense, even if Su Shi wanted to participate, his eldest brother Su Zhou would not allow it. After all, in the poetry meeting, one has to recite poems and compose poems. With Su Shi's talent, Participating in the Poetry Society will only bring shame to the general’s palace.”
"So, Su Shi won't come?"
Zuo Zhongyuan did not speak, because although he thought that Su Shi would not participate, he had a strong hunch that Su Shi would definitely participate in this poetry meeting.
Li Zhonghong was also very happy. Although he pretended to be calm and sat on the cruise ship, the excitement and excitement were rushing back and forth in his heart like waves, making his heart almost unbearable.
Because he already knows the second line of "Smoke Locks Pond Willow".
Today has just arrived at the three-day period, and what’s even better is that today is also the day when the Jinghu Poetry Club is held.
When he thought that he was about to present a couplet that no one could match in front of many talented people at a poetry festival, and that he would become famous in the capital, his heart seemed to jump out of his chest.
What's even better is that when he made this couplet, the engagement between Qin Nan and Su Shi was naturally terminated.
Although Li Zhonghong kept telling himself to calm down, his hand holding the tea cup could not help but tremble slightly, and his eyes looking at the sky were full of regret, because it was still early and there was still an hour before the poetry meeting.
For Li Zhonghong, one hour was indeed too long.
Su Shi walked lazily on the street. Along the way, he stretched at least three times and yawned seven or eight times.
Lin Mo couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said: "Master, where are we going now? Should we rent a carriage? Master, it's better to take a rest in the carriage."
Su Shi thought for a moment, then looked at the sky. It was about an hour before the poetry meeting, and it was too late to walk, so he nodded.
After the two got on the carriage, Su Shi fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
Outside the Qin Mansion, Qin Yue and Qin Nan got on the carriage.
The sound of horse hooves crackled.
In the carriage, Qin Yue looked at Qin Nan guiltily, while Qin Nan looked out the window expressionlessly.
