The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 217 First Dew
"Mr. Liu, what kind of prize is it? Show it to us. Maybe someone likes it and is willing to give it out. It's hard to say!" shouted someone from below, who seemed to know the middle-aged man on the stage.

"Yes, yes! Let's take a look and open our eyes!"

Others followed suit.

"Okay! I, Liu, will take it out and show it to everyone."

Then a boy came up with a mahogany box in his hand.

After taking it, Mr. Liu opened the wooden box and showed it to the audience.

"Isn't this just a piece of ink?"

"Yes!"

The people below said.

Master Liu shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't know. I got this piece of ink by chance. I got two pieces in total. This ink is different from ordinary ink. Writing with this ink is not only smooth but also quick-drying. It also has one of the biggest advantages. It is the words written with this ink that do not faint when exposed to water and are still clearly visible."

"Mr. Liu, are you telling the truth? Is there really ink that does not smudge when exposed to water?" one person asked in surprise.

"Yes, I, Liu, am fairly well-known in Qingyun City. Have I ever deceived anyone?" Master Liu said.

"If that's the case, is Mr. Liu really willing to take it out?" Another person asked.

Mr. Liu said: "Giving precious ink to a talented person is not an insult to the ink. As long as someone can stand up to it, Liu will give it away willingly."

Most of the people below were scholars. After listening to Mr. Liu's words, they were all eager for this piece of ink. However, they were not very talented and could not think of how to correct the second couplet.

The people competing on the stage also became interested in this piece of ink.

Mr. Liu said again: "I only give you half a stick of incense time. If no one can answer it, then we can only start the next question."

"Mr. Liu, what if I pay for this piece of ink?" Wen Yuan asked on the stage holding a folding fan.

Mr. Liu cupped his hands and said, "Master Wen, please forgive me. I don't want to sell this piece of ink. Money cannot measure its value."

Wen Yuan was not angry, and smiled lightly: "That makes sense, but I'm just being vulgar."

Time passed by, and still no one could think of a suitable second line.

Xu Wenwu smiled and said, "This ink is pretty good."

Qibao asked: "Brother, do you want this piece of ink?"

Qian Xuedong said: "Could it be that Wenwu thought of the second couplet?"

"Brother Xu, if you can really match up, why not give it a try? This is a rare treasure!"

Xu Wenwu smiled and said: "Sister, do you think my brother would like to give it a try?"

Qibao said: "Brother, if you want this piece of ink, go and try it."

Xu Wenwu said: "Okay!" Then he said loudly to Mr. Liu on the stage: "I have thought of a couplet. Mr. Liu, can you listen to it?"

Everyone looked at the voice and saw that it was a teenage boy, and they felt a little suspicious.

Mr. Liu raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Young master, I just say it doesn't matter."

"Strike with your head high and your ambition soaring into the sky, who can compete with you?" Xu Wenwu said lightly.

"Okay! That's right!"

The audience was silent for a long time, and I don’t know who shouted out first!
Then there was a roar of applause from the audience.

Everyone looked in the direction of Xu Wenwu with admiration on their faces.

Mr. Liu laughed and said: "Okay, okay, okay! The young master is really talented and learned! I admire you! The couplet is neat and powerful. I am very satisfied. Does everyone have any opinions? If there is a better one, you can tell me."

Wen Yuan and Zheng Yaoyang on the stage also looked at Xu Wenwu in the audience in surprise. They did not expect that this young man looked younger than themselves, but was so outstanding.

"Miss, isn't this the young master we saw in Juxiang Pavilion? I didn't expect that he is not only good-looking, but also so knowledgeable." Yuan'er said.

Miss Wen next to her also admired Xu Wenwu's knowledge and murmured: "I don't know what his name is." Yuan'er was standing close to her lady, so she also heard this sentence, so she said with a smile: "How about I ask the young master's name on behalf of the young lady?"

Miss Wen blushed and said: "No, you and I are both women, how can we go and ask a strange man for his name? Do we still need the restraint of a daughter's family?"

"Okay! Miss, I just won't ask!"

After a long while, Mr. Liu said: "Since no one can be right, then this piece of ink belongs to this young master!"

So he personally got off the stage and handed the mahogany box in his hand to Xu Wenwu, and asked: "I wonder what your surname is? How do you call him?"

Xu Wenwu took the wooden box and said, "Excuse me, your surname is Xu!"

"Master Xu, you are indeed a young hero!"

"Award!"

The game was still going on, so Mr. Liu returned to the stage.

Xu Wenwu said: "Let's go back!"

Qian Xuedong said: "Wenwu, why are you in such a hurry to go back? This game is not over yet!"

Xu Wenwu said: "We are already in the limelight and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. Mo Ye has already obtained it. This trip is not a loss."

Several people nodded, and the group squeezed out of the crowd and left under the gaze of many people.

"It's them! Wangcai, go and stop them!" Gao Yuan also saw Qibao and his group through the gap in the crowd. Thinking of what happened last night, he was convinced that their half-broken teeth were caused by them.

"Okay, Master!" Because the two of them were in the front row, when Wangcai broke through the crowd, there was no trace of the person he was looking for, so he could only go back and report to his son.

Needless to say, Gao Yuan scolded him severely.

Everyone returned to Juxiang Pavilion. It was not yet dinner time, and there were no guests in the hall. Only a few waiters were cleaning.

When I came to the backyard, I saw the old man still sitting in the yard, chatting happily with the dean and the master while drinking tea.

Seeing a few people coming back, the dean said, "You're back? How's it going? You've seen a lot of students from all over the place, right?"

"Dean, you don't know that Brother Xu is in the limelight today and shocked everyone!"

The dean was confused and said, "What happened?"

So several people told the dean and others what happened on the street.

The dean was very pleased after hearing this. Wenwu was the most talented student he had ever encountered, so he had high expectations for him.

The old man also looked proud, but he still said: "Wenwu, there are still a few days until the exam, so it's best to keep everything low-key. You should go out less these days, rest more, and recharge your batteries."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

The dean said: "Wenwu, can you let me see this piece of ink?"

Xu Wenwu immediately took out the mahogany box and placed it in front of the dean.

The dean carefully picked up the ink and admired it for a moment. It was engraved with exquisite patterns, black and shiny, and you could still smell the fragrance emanating from it.

The dean nodded and said: "It's a good piece of ink and it's worth a lot of money!"

Xu Wenwu said: "Dean, this ink student will give it to you in advance as a birthday gift. Please accept it, dean."

The dean was moved. It was rare that this child still remembered that his birthday was coming soon, but he still refused: "Wenwu, you won this piece of ink with your own ability. You can keep it yourself. As long as you have this intention." .”

Xu Wenwu said: "I originally planned to give this piece of ink to the dean. The students know that you came to Qingyun City all night just because you care about me and want to send me to the examination room in person. You usually care for me in the academy, and the students can't help it. In return, this piece of ink does not mean half as much kindness to me as the dean did to me."

The old man nodded and smiled: "Dean, just accept it. It is also Wenwu's wish."

Master Sun on the side also smiled and said: "Dean, just accept it! It just so happens that I can get some exposure in the future and try out the feeling of the words written with this precious ink."
