Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 208 Arrogant
However, when Zhu Xiuyuan saw clearly what that person looked like, he immediately became wary.

Zhu Xiuyuan recognized the person who looked at him with extremely gloomy eyes.

This person is the heir of the Xue family, the grandson of Xue Baochang, named Xue Yuan!
Xue family!

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng had long suspected that the Xue family was behind the assassination of Zhu Xiuyuan by black-clad assassins and the abduction of Dong Shuyu by bandits two days ago.

For this reason, Zhu Xiuyuan had a thorough understanding of the Xue family.

So he can recognize who this person is at a glance.

Zhu Xiuyuan secretly observed this person and found that Xue Yuan had close conversations with several people at his table, apparently "colluded".

However, Zhu Xiuyuan didn't recognize these people at all. There shouldn't be such a number one person in Jiangzhou City, right?
Zhu Xiuyuan also thought that a large part of the people who came to attend the [-]th birthday banquet of Poyang Palace today were from the capital. Zhu Xiuyuan was not familiar with the capital, but Liu Wencai was.

So Zhu Xiuyuan asked Liu Wencai.

Liu Wencai took a look and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, I really know those two people!"

"Oh, who are they?"

"Brother Zhu, look at that tall and thin man, he is the son of the magistrate of Jiangning County in the capital, and the short and fat one is the son of the ambassador of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau in the capital."

"Oh……"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and looked at the two people.

But I saw that the two people seemed to be very active.

Just listen to the son of the ambassador of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau say loudly: "...Come, come, come on, we will be the dealer when the market opens, we will be the dealer when the market opens... If you buy Mr. Zhang's loser, if you miss Shikui, you will lose ten for each..."

"Brother Zhu, the so-called Mr. Zhang is the son of the magistrate of Jiangning County. His surname is Zhang Mingke. The son of the ambassador of the Jiangning County Weaving Bureau is named Luo Ding." Liu Wencai explained casually.

"Ten for one? So Zhang Ke is so sure?" Zhu Xiuyuan was very curious.

If you lose ten times, that is to say, if Zhang Ke does not win the poetry competition in the end, then he will lose ten times his principal!

If too many people buy it, Zhang Ke will definitely lose all the pants.

When Zhu Xiuyuan asked this question, he also kept observing Zhang Ke's expression.

His face was indifferent, and there was even a faint smile on his lips. He was extremely confident, as if he must be the final candidate for Poetry!
"Uh... Brother Zhu, you don't know something. This Zhang Ke... is a famous talent in the capital. His poetic talent is unparalleled. He is known as the number one poet among the young generation of Chen Kingdom!"

"No wonder, the son of a county magistrate dares to be so arrogant in front of all the princes and young princes. It turns out that he is really a talented man!"

"Hmph! It's just a bit of literary talent..."

Liu Wencai's words were somewhat insincere, and his face gradually fell.

Zhu Xiu saw this and asked strangely: "The young prince seems to have some objections to this person?"

Liu Wencai glanced at Zhang Ke and said dejectedly: "Brother Zhu, although Zhang Ke is arrogant and domineering, even I and other princes' children have never paid attention to him... But his poetic talent is indeed... Oh!"

"Why is the young prince sighing? This guy is just the son of a county magistrate. Why do you dare to be so arrogant that even the young prince doesn't take him seriously?"

"Hey, Brother Zhu, to tell you the truth, behind the county magistrate of Jiangning County, there is the support of the Prime Minister of the country... Besides, when we and other literati walk in the poetry world, we are judged by their poetic talents. Hey! Brother Zhu, this is fine. I didn't expect Zhang Ke and Luo Ding to come, and Miss Wanwan's round fan... I'm afraid we and other brothers may not have a chance to see it!"

After Liu Wencai finished speaking, her face looked very sad, as if all the strength in her body had been taken away!
In this regard, Zhu Xiuyuan had nothing to say except being speechless.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't bother to deal with the jealousy among the young masters.

He and Dong Cheng looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Judging from Xue Yuan of the Xue family just now, the person behind it is most likely the Xue family.

The Xue family planned carefully and launched a fatal blow to the Dong family, but they did not expect that the Dong family also had two foxes, big and small, who had already begun to doubt the Xue family!
"I bought Mr. Zhang to win the first place in poetry..." "Don't squeeze, I also bought Mr. Zhang to win the first place in poetry..."

"Shi Kui belongs to Mr. Zhang, I'll buy 1000 taels!"

"I'll buy 5000 taels!"

"I'll buy 1 taels!"

……

Zhu Xiuyuan has been paying attention to the movements of Xue Yuan, Zhang Ke and others.

Since the opening of the gambling bureau, as many as forty or fifty people have come to place bets, but almost all of them bet on Zhang Keneng's victory.

With this kind of buying method, Luo Ding, as the banker, is very likely to lose blood.

If Zhang Ke really wins the position of Shigui, then all the pants they will lose will be pawned.

However, Zhang Ke and Luo Ding were both calm and calm, not panicking at all.

Faced with the situation where everyone is betting on Zhang Ke to win the top spot in poetry, some people are happy, and naturally some people are not happy.

For example, Liu Wencai.

For example, the heirs of princes.

For example, they are the sons of high-ranking officials who also came from the capital, or literati, etc.

Just like Liu Wencai, the heirs of princes and princes, there are only a few of them who know how to recite poems and compose poems.

The sons of princes are actually the sons of generals. There are more people who practice martial arts, but they don't know much about poetry and songs.

Liu Wencai is an anomaly who talks about poetry.

However, Zhang Ke was so arrogant, which could be regarded as stealing the place of the princes and heirs, which made people unhappy.

As for the sons of civil servants and literati, they were even more displeased with the behavior of Zhang Ke and others!
The poetry meeting hasn't even started yet, and I don't even know what the title of the poem will be. You, Zhang Ke, are bragging that Shikui belongs to you. This is too arrogant and arrogant!
Among these literati, there were quite a few who came specifically for Kou Wanwan's round fan.

They also want that fan and the name Shikui!

Therefore, the vast majority of people present could not understand the behavior of Zhang Ke and others.

But as Liu Wencai said, Zhang Ke's father was backed by the Prime Minister of the State. Although his official position was low, the princes and senior officials of the court who were sitting here were not willing to get involved in this kind of dispute.

Not worth it.

Let them be!

"Hmph! It's too bullying!"

Suddenly, Liu Wencai, who was sitting next to Zhu Xiuyuan, jumped up.

Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly asked: "Little prince, what is this?"

Liu Wencai stared at Zhang Ke and others, as if sparks were coming out of his eyes, "No, I'm going to buy Zhang Ke's loss!"

Zhu Xiuyuan grabbed Liu Wencai and said, "Little prince, you just said that Zhang Ke is very likely to win the top poetry championship. If you buy Zhang Ke to lose, isn't this giving them money?!"

"Brother Zhu, please don't stop me. I just can't stand Zhang Ke's face. Isn't it just money... Brother Zhu, please don't stop me..."

Liu Wencai suddenly got stuck mid-sentence and turned to look at Zhu Xiuyuan blankly.
