Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 840

The Xu family is a big family in Tianfu County, so naturally there is no shortage of flatterers. Liu Sheng from the Liujiabu Village in the county is the one who flatters Xu Zhaoming the most. Of course, Brother Xu is the first case in Shang County. No one in Tianfu County knows that Brother Xu can sing a thousand-character prose at the age of five, went to Jinling to study at the age of ten, and was admitted to Jinling Honghu Academy at the age of 13. He has become the most promising in our Tianfu County offspring."

After flattering Xu Zhaoming, he looked at Gu Jinan again, and said with a disdainful smile, "Only the beggar from other places would not know Brother Xu's name."

This is to scold Gu Jinan and the others for being beggars who fled famine.

Xu Zhaoming frowned slightly, displeased with Liu Sheng's way of directly picking on the shortcomings of the Gu family, but he didn't correct Liu Sheng, he just pretended not to hear, and let the other party charge for him.

Master Qu was not very happy. He had met Gu Jinan a few times and admired Gu Jinan's talent and character. He said to Liu Sheng: "Fatty Liu, we are both candidates in the same subject and should support each other. If you say such insinuations, It’s really not what a gentleman does!”

Liu Sheng was very fat, and everyone in the county called him Fatty Liu.Scholars in Dachu like to pay attention to beautiful characters. Fatty Liu would be ridiculed by literati for his appearance and body shape, and he deeply hated others calling him this nickname.

He pointed at Young Master Qu and said angrily, "My surname is Qu, don't bully me just because your uncle is a scholar. Brother Xu is the most righteous. How can he let you go when you poke someone's weaknesses with your words like this?"

Young Master Qu smiled, did not answer, but looked at Xu Zhaoming.

Xu Zhaoming's face was gloomy, he really wanted the boy to throw Liu Sheng out.This Liu Sheng is too stupid. He said that Gu Jinan was a beggar from out of town just to poke the Gu family's shortcomings. Now that he was poked at the shortcomings and accused Master Qu, he really slapped himself in the face.

Xu Liang on the side hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Brothers, Brother Liu has always been outspoken, and everyone has already seen it, but now they are talking about who can be admitted to the county case and sit at the banquet."

He said with a smile: "I'm a branch of the Xu family, so naturally I support my brothers. Where are you brothers?"

Young Master Qu said: "My uncle is one of Brother Gu's guarantors, so I naturally support Brother Gu."

Qi Kangming and the others also chose Gu Jinan.

But this banquet was arranged by Xu Zhaoming, all the people invited were afraid of the Xu family, and [-]% of them chose Xu Zhaoming.

Brother Cheng admired his eldest brother the most, raised his little hand and said: "I choose the eldest brother, my eldest brother is the smartest, and he will definitely be admitted to the county case!"

With a loud voice and a proud face, he looked annoyed at Liu Sheng, and said angrily, "Why are you so smart? Your elder brother is a mud-legged man who has only studied for four years. How can he meet Brother Xu, who has studied hard at Honghu Academy for many years?" Than? You really overestimate yourself!"

Brother Cheng was angry, puffed his cheeks and said, "You don't believe that my elder brother is very smart?"

He asked Xu Zhaoming again: "Don't you believe it?"

Xu Zhaoming looked at Brother Cheng, and said with a faint smile: "Little brother, smartness is not determined by belief, but by comparison. We'll wait..."

What are you waiting for, what Cheng Geer wanted was his words, and he immediately said: "Since it was done, let's compare now, how about it?"

He said again: "It's like guessing crossword puzzles, what does Young Master Xu think?"

Liu Sheng smiled: "Competition on charades? It really is a mud leg, and the comparison is full of low-level things."

Literati competitions, of course, are poetry and poetry competitions, or debates, or competitions in fencing, riding and shooting, and guessing crossword puzzles, which are things that children only play.

Brother Cheng frowned, and asked, "Brother Fatty, do you look down on crossword puzzles? But every Lantern Festival, many scholars, Juren, and even Jinshi guess crossword puzzles."

Liu Sheng was so stunned that he choked, and said angrily, "Don't take it out of context, this young master didn't mean that?"

Xu Zhaoming saw that Liu Sheng couldn't even talk about a child, so he looked down on him very much, so he said to Brother Cheng, "Little brother, what kind of competition do you want?"

Cheng Geer: "It's very simple. I'll come up with an anagram, and you guys guess it. If you can guess it within half an hour, you win."

He smiled at Xu Zhaoming and said, "My elder brother figured it out in a quarter of an hour."

Xu Zhaoming is very proud. He claims to be the No.1 among the young students in Tianfu County. How can he bear such provocative words? And thinking of a word puzzle made by a farmer's child, it is not difficult to guess. He nodded and said: "OK, Come up with a question."

Liu Sheng was looking for death, so he immediately said: "It turns out to be a crossword puzzle, so you have to win a lottery. How about it, if Brother Xu guesses the answer, you brothers will kowtow to Brother Xu on the spot and shout three times, ashamed of yourself!"

Brother Cheng readily agreed: "Okay."

He asked again: "What if Young Master Xu can't figure it out?"

Gu Jin'an smiled and said: "Punishments in competitions have always been equal. If we lose, we will kowtow to Master Xu, and if Master Xu loses, naturally we will kowtow to your brothers."

Brother Cheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "Brother is right."

When it comes to cheating people, their brothers haven't lost yet.

Gu Jin'an spoke too fast, Xu Zhaoming didn't have time to interrupt him, so he could only calmly say, "Problem!"

Xu Zhaoming is still very confident in his knowledge, after all he is the only person in Tianfu County who can go to Jinling to study.

Hearing this, Brother Cheng walked forward and said, "Young Master Xu, listen up, there are four little ghosts in your right hand, eight kings in your left hand, ten suns and moons on your head, and a river star on your feet."

He opened his hands, looking like a mediator, and kicked his feet forward, very playfully, and said to Xu Zhaoming: "It's over, Young Master Xu, please guess."

However, Xu Zhaoming was stunned, what kind of anagram is this?Why hasn't he even heard of it?

The crossword puzzle that Xu Zhaoming has never heard of, let alone the other students at his table.

Liu Sheng didn't even understand the riddles, so he pointed to Brother Cheng and said, "Little boy, we have never heard of the word puzzles you came up with. Did you come up with false questions to deceive us, thinking that we would not be able to guess it?" You guys can win?"

Brother Cheng tilted his head to look at Liu Sheng, and said to Gu Jin'an, "Brother, he is so stupid."

Gu Jinan laughed when he heard the words, and looked at Xu Zhaoming: "Today is the day when the results are released, and the people of the whole county are staring at us candidates. No matter how bold we brothers are, we dare not come up with false questions to fool you."

He said again: "This is a cross puzzle. There are ten words in the puzzle. If Brother Xu suspects that we have made a false question to deceive you, you can spread this question and ask other people. Our Tianfu County is outstanding, and there will be someone Guess the answer."

Xu Zhaoming's face was very ugly, he knew that Gu Jin'an was not lying and the crossword puzzle was true.But it was because it was true that he was afraid.He couldn't solve the problem at all and guessed the ten words in it.

Xu Zhaoming regretted it very much. If he had known this, he shouldn't have made things difficult for Gu Jin'an, thinking of hitting him in the face to make himself famous.But it's too late to say anything now.If he can't guess the answer, he will be the one who kneels and kowtows and gets slapped in the face!

Cheng Geer was so clever that he asked the waiter for a stick of incense to light, and put it on the table, reminding Xu Zhaoming: "Young Master Xu, guess quickly, this stick of incense is never burned."

It took exactly half an hour for the thick stick of soybeans to burn.

Xu Zhaoming's face turned even darker.
