Chen Fan, who originally wanted to say the second line directly, looked at the disdainful looks of Chen Hao and Zhao Hongwei.
He swallowed the lower line that was already in his mouth.
Chen Fan looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.
"That's what you said!"
Seeing that Chen Fan remained silent, Chen Hao and Zhao Hongwei couldn't help but said in unison.
They all couldn't wait to see Chen Fan embarrassed.
"I'll just say it if you ask me to. Then I'll be so embarrassed!"
At this time, Chen Fan suddenly said.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao looked at each other, and then both showed a smile.
They all thought that Chen Fan was starting to make excuses.
"Then what do you have to do before you are willing to say it?"
Chen Hao looked at Chen Fan with disdain and said.
"Let's make a bet. If I can tell you the second line later, then the two of you will slap yourselves twice in public and apologize to me."
"If I can't tell you, then I'll slap myself in the face and apologize to you."
Chen Fan looked at the two of them with a smile and said.
Hearing what Chen Fan said, the expressions of Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao suddenly changed.
They are elegant scholars. If they are slapped in public, their face will be lost and they will become the laughingstock of their lives.
"If you two don't dare, then forget it! Just think of the next couplet yourself!"
Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao, Chen Fan must not be able to apologize, so he came up with such an excuse. Let's promise him."
"In this way, Chen Fan will become the laughing stock of the entire Dongyang County."
At this time, Chen Hao whispered.
Zhao Hongwei heard this, thought carefully and nodded.
He also thought that this was Chen Fan's plan, and he couldn't fall for such a low-end plan!
Not only the two of them thought this way, but the scholars around them also thought this way.
No one believed that Chen Fan could figure it out.
"Okay, we promise you."
At this time, Zhao Hongwei said.
"But we have to make an agreement that the second line you are correct must be neatly matched, instead of just saying whatever you say and forgetting it."
Chen Hao added.
He was afraid that Chen Fan would cheat later, so he blocked his escape route.
At this time, Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao were very relieved. They held their hands and waited to see Chen Fan slap himself.
Seeing the two of them like this, Chen Fan's smile became even thicker.
Seeing that Chen Fan was still laughing at this time, Chen Hao and Zhao Hongwei suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
"Okay, this second line is too simple. I didn't bother correcting it originally. Since you want to bet with me, then I'll take the trouble and correct it!"
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, the people around him looked at Chen Fan with a hint of disgust.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fan was still bragging at this moment.
If this first couplet is simple, then why can’t so many of them scholars understand it?
At this time, everyone came to point fingers at Chen Fan, and some even began to scold Chen Fan angrily, thinking that Chen Fan was too pretentious.
"Listen carefully to me. My second line is: Reading in the Spring and Reading in the Autumn and Reading in the Spring and Autumn Period."
As soon as Chen Fan said these words, the people present who were still criticizing Chen Fan immediately shut up.
The place suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Chen Fan in disbelief.
Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao looked at Chen Fan with their eyes wide open, and their eyeballs were about to fall out.
"Okay, okay."
At this moment, Liu Siye stood up and said three good words in a row.
Liu Siye also didn't expect that Chen Fan could actually do it right, and he did it so neatly.
When Chen Hao came up with the first couplet just now, Liu Siye came up with the second couplet after some hard thinking.
However, Chen Fan's lower link is not as neat as this one.
Liu Siye looked at Chen Fan with surprise at this time. He now somewhat believed that the storybook was written by Chen Fan.
"My husband is great."
"My husband is great."
Yingchun and Yingxia shouted to Chen Fan with excited faces at this time.
Just now, they also thought that Chen Fan could not be sorry at all, and they were even ready to comfort Chen Fan after he was slapped.
But I didn't expect that Chen Fan could actually get it right, and he could get it right so completely.
Su Wenqi also looked at Chen Fan with strange eyes. She didn't know how many surprises Chen Fan in front of her could bring her.
"My second couplet is pretty neat, right?"
Chen Fan looked at Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao and said.
After hearing Chen Fan's words, the two of them came to their senses.
"You...how did you get it right?"
The two looked at Chen Fan in disbelief.
"It's so simple. Just say it casually and you'll get it right. Chen Hao, you still have to study more!"
Chen Fan said to Chen Hao with a preaching look.
At this time, Chen Hao was not angry when he heard Chen Fan's words, because he was worried about another thing at this time.
That's their bet.
If he is allowed to slap himself in front of so many scholars, he will become the laughing stock of Dongyang County in the future.
More importantly, Liu Siye is still watching here!
If he slapped him like this, would Liu Siye have an opinion about him and prevent him from entering the Imperial Academy?
"I won, do you have to fulfill the promise you just made?"
Chen Fan looked at the two of them with a smile and said.
Hearing what Chen Fan said, Chen Hao and Zhao Hongwei immediately became nervous.
The two looked left and right, but no one spoke.
When Chen Fan saw this, he walked towards Chen Hao.
"Chen Hao, keeping your word is the moral character that a gentleman should have, and it is also the moral character that a scholar should have."
"I'm afraid the Imperial College will not recruit scholars who do not keep their word!"
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Chen Fan's smile immediately scared Chen Hao into a cold sweat.
He quietly glanced at Liu Siye aside, and saw Liu Siye looking at them sharply at this time.
"Pop."
"sorry."
When Chen Hao saw this, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, then slapped himself in the face. Then he gritted his teeth and apologized to Chen Fan.
If looks could kill, Chen Fan would have been executed by Ling Chi by Chen Hao at this time.
However, Chen Fan was still undaunted at this time, and even looked at Zhao Hongwei with a sarcastic smile.
"Mr. Zhao, it's your turn."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Chen Fan would naturally not let him go if he wanted to take advantage of his wife.
At this time, the scholars present also looked at Zhao Hongwei. Everyone was guessing whether Zhao Hongwei would be the same as Chen Hao?
"Chen Fan, as long as you take the initiative to give up my bet, I will give you one thousand taels of silver."
"And I will also ask my father to find a job for you, so that you will have a stable salary in the future."
Zhao Hongwei whispered, intending to use this to bribe Chen Fan.
He thinks that the conditions he has given are already very superior. One thousand taels can be enough for an ordinary family to live for a lifetime.
He also found Chen Fan a public job, which is what most people only dream of!
What other reasons does Chen Fan have for refusing?
When Chen Fan heard Zhao Hongwei's words, the smile on his lips became even thicker.
"What?"
"You said that as long as I take the initiative to give up my bet, you will give me one thousand taels of silver and your father will give me a job."
Chen Fan suddenly said loudly.
The sound was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.
