Chapter 454 Jin She Loves Talent (25)
Chu Yunfan quietly listened to the heated discussions of the people around him, turned his head slightly and said softly to Chu Chuan beside him: "To be fair, this student named Xu Wenyang, regardless of his character, does have some real skills in terms of talent and learning.
Take this couplet for example, it is not easy to match them perfectly. "
I saw those people arguing back and forth, and coming up with several answers one after another, but either they lacked in terms of the artistic conception, or they were slightly inferior in terms of the neatness of the parallelism.
It's strange to say, at this moment, Xu Wenyang's gaze swept across the crowd as quickly as lightning, and instantly fixed on the table where Chu Yunfan was.
When he looked closely, he couldn't help but be attracted by the variety of delicious dishes on the table.
Of course, Xu Wenyang’s criteria for judging so-called “good dishes” are not actually very high. As long as the dishes are beyond his spending power, they will be regarded as delicacies by him.
Then, his eyes naturally fell on the exquisite jade pot on the table and Chu Yunfan's extraordinary attire.
With just such a cursory glance, Xu Wenyang already understood in his heart that the young man in front of him must be of great origin, must be born in a powerful family and must be a favored one.
So, Xu Wenyang immediately had the idea of making friends with him.
Xu Wenyang smiled and bowed to Chu Yunfan humbly. He took the initiative to invite him, "Sir, would you like to join us and participate in the research?"
After a pause, he added, "Of course, if you are interested, you may try to come up with the second line first, and then we can discuss and work on it together."
Anyone who knows Xu Wenyang well knows that the reason he is so proactive in extending the "olive branch" is simply because he wants to get to know this young master.
But Xu Wenyang overlooked one thing: just because he didn't know someone didn't mean his friends didn't know him.
Although Chu Yunfan rarely goes to restaurants to eat, there are many people who know his identity. I won’t talk about other things.
In this huge capital city, there may be many dukes, but Chu Yunfan is the only one so young.
Most of the others, even when they are old, are unwilling to give up the power in their hands.
Once you have supreme power, you will never let it go easily.
"Brother Xu, forget it. If this young master doesn't want to join, then forget it." A student pulled Xu Wenyang, "Let's do our own thing."
This man was named Yin Anbang, the son of the Minister of Rites. In his early years, in order to "meet" the youngest Duke of this dynasty, he once secretly took a peek at him from afar in the guise of his father's servant.
Although the Principality of Chu has been keeping a low profile in recent years, Yin Anbang could still recognize those unforgettable handsome features.
At this moment, Xu Wenyang invited the other party to make couplets. This could not be considered as an attempt to make friends with the powerful and influential. This was clearly seeking death.
Duke Chu's fiancée often shouted in public that she wanted to cancel the engagement because of her ambiguous relationship with Xu Wenyang. Although the engagement has been cancelled now, when the two meet, Xu Wenyang does not stay away but rushes forward.
Isn’t this causing trouble for yourself?
Chu Yunfan looked at Xu Wenyang who invited him and frowned slightly: "You want me to match your couplet?"
"Yes! Let's discuss together and make progress together!" Xu Wenyang smiled and nodded.
"Young Master!" Chu Chuan was afraid that his young master would not be able to do the right thing and would lose face, so he shook his head at Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan couldn't figure it out at first, but for some reason, a line of words suddenly appeared in his mind: "Go to Nanping to sell blue bottles. Blue bottles are only available in Nanping. Blue bottles are hard to come by!"
When Chu came up with the second line, everyone was stunned for a moment, but immediately burst into cheers.
On the contrary, Xu Wenyang, who had been full of energy just now, looked unhappy. The second line of the couplet was exactly the same as the answer he saw before he traveled through time. Could this person also have traveled through time?
Seeing Xu Wenyang remained silent and kept looking at Chu Yunfan with an inquiring look, Yin Anbang quickly pulled him back and said, "Brother Xu, what do you think of this second couplet? We all think it's good."
"Very good! Very neat, and the artistic conception is also suitable!" Xu Wenyang decided to give Chu Yunfan another try, "I wonder if this brother is interested in another one?"
"Let's give it a try! I don't know if I can do it?" Even though Chu Yunfan said this, he still had a magnanimity that Xu Wenyang did not have.
This made Xu Wenyang very angry. If the other party was also a time traveler, why did he travel through time and space to be a person from a poor family while the other party was powerful and influential?
"Brother Xu?" It was Yin Anbang reminding Xu Wenyang again.
Xu Wenyang immediately came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and began to ask questions: "Nantongzhou, Beitongzhou, Nantongzhou and Nantongzhou connect the north and the south!"
