Chapter 199 Next Zhang Jianzhi

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Qin Huaiyu smiled slightly.

"That's natural."

"If these people answer me so easily, then I will be in trouble."

"Didn't you say that Zilanxuan is not yours?"

Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaiyu with a half-smile but not a smile: "Why are you still losing money?"

"Cough cough cough."

Qin Huaiyu coughed a few times and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better take a look below. I think that stick of incense is about to burn out."

After everyone heard this, they quickly looked down.

Sure enough, the stick of incense at the door of Zilanxuan was almost burning to the end.

However, all the literati were still thinking hard, and no one could figure out Qin Huaiyu's first couplet.

"Everyone, this stick of incense is about to burn out. If no one can match this couplet..."

"Wait a minute!"

"Let me try it!"

At this time, suddenly a clear voice came.

I saw a slightly thin, tall young man squeeze out from the crowd.

"Does this young master already have a second couplet?"

Qingyin asked with a bit of curiosity in her eyes as she looked at this young man who looked a little pale and a little depressed.

"I got something from you," the young man said modestly.

"Then please tell me your second line, young master." Qingyin stretched out her hand to respectfully invite her.

The young man wanted to shout loudly, but his voice was still a little weak.

"The second line below is: A handsome couple is alone!"

It's just that his voice was really quiet, and only the people around him could hear it. People in the distance could only see his mouth moving, but they didn't hear any sound at all.

The young man was a little anxious. At this time, Qingyin said: "The second couplet of this young master is: A handsome couple spends time alone!"

Qingyin's voice is clear, loud, and penetrating enough for everyone present to hear it.

People who were still meditating came to their senses one after another and began to make various judgments on the young man's second couplet.

“The use of words is fine.”

“It also matches the artistic conception.”

"Hey, this kid has something!"

"I didn't expect it. I thought no one would be able to answer this question, but I didn't expect that a dark horse would appear halfway through."

"That's it."

The people watching were talking a lot, and Li Shimin and others in the restaurant were even more impressed.

"I didn't expect that you did a good thing."

Li Shimin said to Qin Huaiyu.

"This man has great literary talent. Even we couldn't come up with any ideas in a short period of time, but this young man has already figured out the second couplet, which shows his quick thinking."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Hey, you are too modest."

Li Shimin said: "All of you who love me are loyal and diligent in state affairs and work day and night. Otherwise, how could it be like this?"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for your good talent. I congratulate Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty!"

The ministers said in unison.

"Hahaha, all my dear friends, no courtesy."

Li Shimin is in a good mood.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Qin Huaiyu standing there yawning, not congratulating him with the ministers at all, and he immediately felt unhappy.

"Qin Huaiyu, you don't seem to think this is something worth being happy about!"

Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaiyu with unkind eyes.

"Ah?" Qin Huaiyu raised his head: "Is your performance so obvious?"

The others looked at Qin Huaiyu slightly speechlessly.

Is that obvious to you?

You are clearly showing off, right?
"Tell me, what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked.

"It's nothing."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, let's move on to the next question." Seeing that Qin Huaiyu was unwilling to say anything, Li Shimin did not pursue it. After all, his greater interest now was in this new young talent.

He wanted to see if this person could give him a surprise.

"Dare I ask the young master's name?" Qingyin cupped her hands and asked with a smile.

"I'm here, Zhang Jianzhi!"

The young man bowed his hands and returned the greeting.

"Everyone, if there is no objection, then this first question will be won by the young master of Zhang and Cambodia!"

Qingyin announced loudly to everyone.

"Hey, that's awesome!"

"Indeed, I can't stand it."

"Let's go to the next question."

"Yes, yes, let's move on to the next question."

People urged again and again.

And with Zhang Jianzhi, a successful person, leading the way, these people began to have some confidence.

"it is good."

Qingyin smiled and picked up the second roll of paper handed to him by a girl.

At this time, a girl walked up to Zhang Jianzhi and whispered: "Master Zhang, please come with me."

Zhang Jianzhi was stunned at first. Is this girl going to take him into the Zilan Pavilion?
Under the envious gazes of everyone, Zhang Jianzhi swallowed his saliva, mustered up his courage and followed the girl into Ziyunxuan.

However, as soon as he entered the door, Zhang Jianzhi was shocked.

Before, he thought this was some kind of romantic place.

But after entering the door, he completely changed his view.

"Master Zhang, this way please."

The girl led the way and said with a smile: "Food and wine have been prepared for Mr. Zhang upstairs. It's a seat by the window."

"If Mr. Zhang wants to continue to participate, he only needs to answer at the window, or he can be conveyed by us, which is also fine."

Hearing what the girl said, Zhang Jianzhi nodded slightly.

Just when he went upstairs and was led by the girl to the seat by the window, the dishes that he had never seen before, with delicious color, aroma and taste, immediately aroused Zhang Jianzhi's already uncontrollable gluttony. .

"Grumble!"

There was a drumming sound in his stomach, and Zhang Jianzhi's face turned red.

"Sir, use it slowly."

The girl naturally saw Zhang Jianzhi's embarrassment, smiled and backed away, and said before leaving: "There is a bell hanging by a colorful rope next to the young master's table."

"If you need anything, just pull this bell and someone will come to help."

"Okay, thanks!"

Zhang Jianzhi cupped his hands and said.

"You're welcome, Master, please use it with ease."

When the girl retreated and no one was around, Zhang Jianzhi couldn't hold it in any longer.

He directly grabbed the roast chicken on the plate and started to nibble on it.

But he didn't know that his appearance had been watched by Li Shimin and others in the restaurant opposite.

"It can be seen that this person's clothes are shabby. He must be a commoner." Fang Xuanling said.

"It's just that this eating style is really a bit indecent."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly.

"The Duke of Song Dynasty was born in a noble family, so naturally he has never experienced this feeling of hunger."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said, "Actually, you should have noticed that this Jianzhi is shaking a little even when walking."

"But even so, with a table of delicious food in front of him, he was not rude in the slightest. He waited for the girl from Zilanxuan to leave and there was no one around before he started eating like this."

"This kind of patience and restraint is extremely valuable."

"Are you going to ask a man who is about to starve to death to eat silently, sleep silently, and eat slowly like the Gonggun princes in the court?"

Qin Huaiyu's words made Li Shimin and others nod their heads.

Lack of food during the march occasionally happened, so they could also understand Qin Huaiyu's words.

At the door of Zilanxuan, a clear voice echoed in the sky.

"Everyone, this second question is..."
