Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 150 The pen is too dry to write

The tortoise and Chen Jin exchanged greetings, and most of the scene was polite; Wang Yujun sent someone to invite him, which was a real move.

That night in the Confucian Temple, Chen Jin and Wang Yujun also met, but they didn't speak.

In my impression, this is a typical wealthy son, different from Wang Yubao's gentleness and restraint, Wang Yujun is much more bold and unrestrained, with his own arrogance.

Chen Jin said to Gu Leyou: "Taoist priest, since someone has invited you, let's go upstairs and have a look, how about?"

It was agreed tonight to clean up the dust for Gu Leyou, so it is natural to ask for his opinion.

Gu Leyou smiled and said, "I can't ask for it."

Attitudes are changing quickly. Previously, I kept saying that gold hairpins like to hold them, but they are not coquettish enough and not suitable for my taste.

Under the leadership of the entourage, the three of them climbed up the steps and went straight to the third floor.

The news had spread in the lobby, and all the good-natured people talked about it, and they didn't even listen to the music on the stage.

What everyone was curious about was, what did Wang Yujun ask Chen Jin to do?
It is likely to be fighting poetry and comparing words...

Because Wang Yujun's temperament has always been arrogant, and he doesn't want to be robbed of his demeanor by this suddenly widening man.

This is not narrow-mindedness, Wen Wushou is fighting for a kind of momentum.

Another important reason is that Chen Jin came from Lingnan and belonged to an outsider.

As the saying goes, "A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake", and the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" is very popular, what does this mean?
And the publication time happened to be shortly after the Wenkui Contest.

There are already rumors in the market, saying that Wen Kui has made an internal decision, and Wang Yujun is not good at winning, and Chen Jin's "Butterfly Love Flower" is clearly not inferior to Wang Yujun's "Long Moon Song", if there is a fair competition, who will win? Not yet known.

"Hey, think about it, why did Chen Jin give such good words to Miss Qingyue in Qiuyuelou?"

one asked loudly.

Sure enough, it immediately attracted a voice of expectation: "Why?"

"That's because Qiuyuelou didn't select any gold hairpins this year. As we all know, the selection of the twelve gold hairpins this year is handled by Mr. Jun."

"You mean that Chen Jin purposely took this opportunity to compete with Mr. Jun, to win Miss Qingyue, and then to suppress the gold hairpins, which means he overwhelmed Mr. Jun."

"Yes, that's exactly what it is."

Everyone thought about it carefully, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the truth, and suddenly they burst into laughter.

Some people were amazed at Chen Jin's bravery. He had just arrived and dared to challenge Wang Yujun's position...

Some people think that Chen Jin is overconfident, and gets carried away after writing a good poem, and even provokes Wang...

Some people even want to know what will happen when Wang Yujun and Chen Jin meet, and who will win if they fight.

It has to be said that there will always be a market for conspiracy theories. For spectators, what they want to watch is the excitement. As for the truth of the inside story, who cares?
……

At this time, the three of Chen Jin had already arrived upstairs.

Looking at the luxurious decorations around, Gu Leyou couldn't help scolding "prodigal girl" in his heart; Liu Yuan seemed quite nervous, following his brother Guanzhu closely, lowering his head, not daring to look around.

Walking into the hall, one after another immediately glanced over and landed on the three of them.

Examining, curious, and playful...

Wang Yujun was a little surprised, so he asked someone to call Chen Jin. Unexpectedly, three of them came up, and two of them were Taoist priests. It seemed that they were friends.

The problem is that the combination of scholar and Taoist priest is a bit nondescript.

"sit down."

Wang Yujun didn't get up to greet him, but said something calmly.

Chen Jin glanced at the messy table and smiled: "You don't need to sit down."

A middle-aged Confucian scholar said angrily: "Chen Jin, you are so ignorant of flattery. Mr. Jun invites you to come up, but you don't even sit down?"

Chen Jin said coldly: "Since it is an invitation, then this table of leftovers is the prince's way of hospitality?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was dumbfounded.

Wang Yujun reached out and knocked on the table: "Come here, change the table and serve new dishes."

After receiving this order, the servants and servants who were waiting on the side hurriedly started to work.

"Now, can I take a seat?"

But Chen Jin still didn't move: "There are three of us, but there is only one empty chair here, how can we sit?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar said angrily: "Don't push yourself too hard, everyone here is a scholar full of knowledge. How can Buddhism and Taoism be qualified to watch?"

Chen Jin sighed: "What you said makes sense. They are not of the same kind, and they barely get together. They just talk and don't speculate. Why bother? Then leave, and don't disturb everyone's pleasure."

Said, turned and left.

"It's good to say 'it's not speculative, half a sentence is too much'!"

As soon as Wang Yujun patted the table, he stood up: "Neither arrogant nor humble, full of personality, I admire you. Come, sit down, three."

After he spoke, two people sitting with him at the table gave up immediately, and one of them was the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

No way, he has self-knowledge, his qualifications to follow Mr. Jun are the least, and he doesn't have much poetic talent, so he always sits at the bottom.When he scolded Chen Jin just now, his original intention was to show off, so as to please Young Master Jun.Unexpectedly, Mr. Jun admired Chen Jin's rebellious posture when the flattery was not done well.

What else can we do?
If you take the initiative to give up your seat, at least you can save your face, which is considered a bit of a wink.It would be a bad thing if it provoked Mr. Jun to speak.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Chen Jin Shi sat down calmly.

Gu Leyou was barefoot, although he was guilty, but with Chen Jin around, he was not afraid, so he sat down.

It's embarrassing for Liu Yuan, where has he experienced such a scene?A slightly immature face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he felt at a loss and uncomfortable.Sitting on the chair, I only dared to sit on a corner, which felt a bit like sitting on pins and needles.

Soon, a new table of wine and food was served, a large table full, full of color, fragrance, and very attractive.

Wang Yujun looked at Chen Jin with interest: "The new dishes have been served, and the new wine is full, so please pick up the chopsticks."

Chen Jin didn't move: "I'm a little worried."

"worry about what?"

"Cannibals have short mouths."

Wang Yujun chuckled and said, "All of you are here, why are you still afraid of eating people?"

Chen Jin explained: "There is actually a misunderstanding. I came here tonight just to clean up the dust and listen to the music for my friend a Taoist priest. I also wanted to see what the third floor of Chunhua Xingyu Building looks like, so I came upstairs."

Gu Leyou: "..."

It feels good to be a friend of a tool person, at least the sense of existence comes out.

Besides, what Chen Jin said was the truth, that's how it was.

However, Wang Yujun was noncommittal. To him, the facts were not important at all, the important thing was that Chen Jin came.

Rumors and gossip in the market, those are actually not important.

Wang Yujun didn't care about those things, but there was one thing, he was really pleased with Chen Jin.

Suddenly he asked: "On the night of the temple fair, why did you hand in that little poem? It's hard to imagine that that little poem and "Butterfly Love Flower" were written by the same people. If I guess right, they are from different age groups. work."

Chen Jin answered along the lines: "Indeed."

"But why? I don't write mature words, but I write a simple poem? Afraid of being plagiarized? Or don't take the Wenkui competition seriously?"

"Haha, the prince is serious."

Chen Jin said with a smile: "It's not that complicated at all, I just want to follow suit and see if there is an opportunity."

"Follow the trend?"

Wang Yujun was startled, and then he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing: "I see, it's really interesting, Chen Jin, you are a wonderful person."

The conversation between the two of them was like talking in a dumb tongue. Those who didn't know it could only hear it in a cloud of mist and didn't understand why.

Wang Yujun joked again: "Then you got the chance?"

Chen Jin asked back, "What do you think?"

Of course Wang Yujun thought it was impossible for him to get it. If Chen Jin got the rare treasure of the Confucian Temple, how could it be what it is now.

Definitely become the second Jiang Chang.

"Oh, Mr. Jun, it's so lively here, don't you mind if I bring my two daughters to join in the fun?"

A delicate voice came, and a woman with heavy makeup came in.She is already old, but she is in her mid-mature, especially the mountain peaks are still standing, which is extremely eye-catching.

The Shuangshu who followed her were as beautiful as peaches and plums, each good at style, they were two gold hairpins, whose stage names were "Taohong" and "Abi".

Coupled with Chunniang's words, three of the five gold hairpins in Xinghua Chunyu Building have now appeared.

For the individual guests on the first floor, any gold hairpin is high above the sky, like a fairy in the sky, which is rare to see.

But people like Wang Yujun are already used to it, so they don't find it unusual.

It's cheaper. Gu Leyou feasted his eyes. From the price list, he knew that in normal times, it would cost a lot of money to see these gold hairpins.Now it's free, don't watch it for nothing, who doesn't watch it for nothing?

Wang Yujun smiled and said to the woman: "Auntie Mei, you know that I like lively places the most. The more people there, the better. What's more, all the people who come here are beauties, so I can't ask for it."

Chun Niang, who was sitting beside him, frowned slightly, a little displeased.

No woman is willing to accept others to compete with her.

Chunhua Xingyu Tower is very big, there are many girls, the competition among each other is naturally more intense, all kinds of intrigues and intrigues have never stopped.

But even if she doesn't want to, she can't refuse, Auntie Namei is the most powerful bustard in the building, second only to the landlord.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jin wanted to get up and leave.What he hates the most in his life is this kind of palace fighting drama, which is endlessly entangled, protracted and meaningless.

However, Aunt Mei came to him and saluted him: "This is Mr. Chen, he is indeed a man of talent, very handsome."

Chen Jin replied lightly: "Thank you for the compliment."

Wang Yujun said: "Aunt Mei, haven't you been talking about asking this man who is getting wider to make a new word? Now that someone is here, we can't let this opportunity pass by."

Aunt Mei's bright eyes lit up: "Young Master Jun reminded me so, I don't know if Young Master Chen is willing or not."

Yang Qi, one of the four talented scholars, said with a smile: "Aunt Mei is wrong, since she is here, how can she be unwilling?"

Another talented person, Zhao Cheng, also echoed, "Isn't it? Aunt Mei, just let someone prepare the four treasures of the study."

A few of them say something to each other, like a cross talk.

Gu Leyou heard the meaning: the other party is going to partner with Chen Jin to force Chen Jin to write poems, if he can't write, he won't be able to step down.

It's so insincere, is there such a bully?

He wants to help, but reciting poems and writing lyrics is not about fighting and killing. He usually likes to show off a few words, but those are just doggerel, which are not on the table at all.

Gu Leyou suddenly felt sorry for Chen Jin. If he hadn't clamored to come to Chunhua Xingyu Building, Chen Jin would not have fallen into such a situation.

Chen Jin still had a calm expression on his face. Looking at the performance of the other party, he actually wanted to laugh in his heart, and pretended to murmur: "The pen is too dry to write."

Hearing this, Wang Yujun and others looked at each other and smiled.I didn't expect Chen Jin's request to be so direct, asking money directly, what kind of scholar is this?

You must know that literati and bureaucrats always pay attention to being noble and decent, and they will not directly withdraw money, but use "Aduwu" instead, which means "that thing".

"Runbi" is also an elegant name, but I didn't say that in person, for fear that others would not give me money.

If he could really write good words, would he renege on his debts?
However, Auntie Mei, who is used to people's hearts, felt that Chen Jin's behavior was straightforward and honest enough, so she clapped her hands, and immediately a beautiful maid came up with a plate in both hands, put it directly in front of Chen Jin, and lifted the cover covering it. A piece of red cloth suddenly flashed with white light, and a plate full of silver made people dazzled.

In terms of perception, an ingot of silver is more impactful than a banknote.

Gu Leyou's eyes widened, thinking: Can a scholar get so much money for writing a poem?This is too lucrative... It's even faster than stealing money.

This is the real high-end operation. In comparison, walking around the streets by yourself, exorcising evil spirits, reading fortunes, and accepting various reward tasks.

Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I know how many embellishers Qiuyue Tower gave you last time. Is there any more here?"

The implication is that Chen Jin is required to write new words that cannot be worse than the song "Butterfly Love Flower".

Wang Yujun clapped his hands and said, "So much money, Aunt Mei, why don't I write you a song?"

Aunt Mei hurriedly said: "Young Master Jun is just joking, you are worth a lot of money, the slave family can't please you."

For this, Wang Yujun enjoyed it.

Chen Jin didn't bother to pay attention to the flattery between them. Since the embellishment was sincere enough, he should write a song.

I was planning to write it, but I haven't decided where to write it before.

Since Chunhua Xingyu Tower has set off the atmosphere for this sake, it would be inappropriate not to write about it. Moreover, with the status and power of this building, its influence is much greater than that of Qiuyue Tower, so it is an excellent choice.

So he got up: "Where is the pen and ink?"

The other party was waiting for his words, and quickly brought the desk and other things.

Chen Jin had a well-thought-out plan and didn't sell any tricks. He said in his mouth: "Aunt Mei, I wrote a song "Butterfly Love Flower" for Qiuyuelou. In order to show that I don't favor one person over another, what I'm writing now is "Butterfly Love Flower"."

After finishing speaking, he held the pen in his hand, dipped in the ink and wrote quickly, and started to write.
