Literati Sanctification

Chapter 96 admit defeat

"This pair, are you still right? If you can't, admit defeat. I don't have time to wait for you to think about it."

On the other side, Heng Xiulin looked at Mu Guanyu in front of him and said, it has been a long time since he said the first couplet, but now Mu Guanyu has been unable to say the second couplet, Heng Xiulin thought A trace of impatience gradually rose.

The sun in the sky is already gradually setting, and there are still a few hours away from the imperial city. If it continues like this, it will be difficult to find a place to live in the imperial city when it gets dark.

When Mu Guanyu heard Heng Xiulin's words, his face immediately turned pale, his clothes were dripping with sweat, and he didn't realize it at all.

After understanding the esoteric meaning contained in this couplet, he felt chills in his heart. He suddenly felt that the pair made by Heng Xiulin was many times more difficult than the pair he made.

Right now, he has already racked his brains, but he still thinks of the slightest inspiration to match this second couplet. If he can't even match this pair, then he has lost, completely lost.

After all, Heng Xiulin was on his pair, but they were all right. Now he can't even match Heng Xiulin's first pair, so it's not a loss, what is it?
At this moment, he suddenly thought of what Heng Xiulin said before. If he was allowed to make the right words, he might not have a chance to be right. Before, he thought that Heng Xiulin was nothing but crazy words, but now Things told him that Heng Xiulin was not exaggerating at all, what he said was the truth.

"Brother Mu?"

Hearing Heng Xiulin's urging, the talents on the side also turned their eyes to Mu Guanyu at this time. It didn't take so long for Heng Xiulin to face his pairs before.

Moreover, the most important thing is that they suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Mu Guanyu's face, and that extremely pale face seemed to indicate something.

After realizing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly. They also discovered the difficulty of Heng Xiulin's couplets, but they thought that Mu Guanyu could be right. The first pair is folded directly.

"If it doesn't work, just admit defeat. No one will laugh at you. My time is precious, but I'm not waiting for you to think about it."

Heng Xiulin said impatiently, "If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you procrastinate, you can think of the second line, or you don't have to admit defeat?"Just admit defeat and explain that your skills are not as good as others.

Anyway, we just met by chance, and we may not be able to see him again in the future. Right now, he is just passing through the imperial city. If he wants to meet the emperor, he will be there immediately. In this way, they will really have nothing in the future. It is possible to meet.

Listening to Heng Xiulin's words, Mu Guanyu's face immediately turned blue. This is the second time Heng Xiulin said that he was thinking about it. The meaning of Heng Xiulin's words is very clear. He is directly mocking the straightforward Mu Guanyu. Even Heng Xiulin didn't understand the profound meaning in the Shanglian, so it came out right there.

From Heng Xiulin's point of view, Mu Guanyu may not have figured out the secret of the Shanglian, so he was just thinking about it, and even the direction of the pair was wrong. Even if the right one is good, it is still wrong. So if he said that, Heng Xiulin didn't wrong him when he said that he was thinking about it last time.

"I'm sorry, we lost."

Mu Guanyu opened his mouth, looked at the crowd with hope in their eyes, and after a while, he lowered his head dejectedly, and said to the crowd, this couple, he really can't match, even if it is for him No amount of time can match him up.

And even if he matched, he had inexplicable fear of the pair that Heng Xiulin would play next. Every time he proudly said his couplet, the other party quickly matched him without even thinking about it. The pair, and it also includes the Qiangu Absolute that he can't match.

But now, when Heng Xiulin made a pair, he didn't discover the secret and the difficulty at first glance, which was already very embarrassing for him, and what was even more embarrassing was that he had no way to deal with it. come out.

Right now, he suddenly understood that even if he wrote this couplet by himself, then, if he can come up with such a couplet at will, there will be more difficult things in the future, right?

Thinking of this, Mu Guanyu simply gave up struggling and gave up directly. Although it was a bit embarrassing for the opponent to miss a pair, it was worth it to not suffer any longer.

"Brother Mu?"

Hearing Mu Guanyu's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mu Guanyu in disbelief. Did Mu Guanyu admit defeat?This is the only thought in their minds at the moment.

Originally, I wanted to leave some hope on Mu Guanyu, but now it seems that this hope is shattered, and they are even less hopeful about themselves. There is only Mu Guanyu.

But right now, even Mu Guanyu was defeated. They might as well simply point out what they are comparing with Hengxiu Lin. After all, they can't win this competition even if they want to. It's really the last moment.

It would be embarrassing to be found out that they failed the competition and reneged on their debts. Thinking of this, everyone pulled the jade pendants around their waists one after another, and then threw them in front of Heng Xiulin.

Heng Xiulin took these jade pendants one by one, and seeing the luster emanating from the jade pendants, the corner of his mouth immediately curled up, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Yes, these jade pendants should be worth a lot of money, Xiao Yu, go to the imperial city to find a pawnshop and pawn these jade pendants. We can find a better place to stay at night."

Heng Xiulin tossed the jade pendant in his hand, felt the warm touch from it, and said to Xiaoyu who was beside him.

When Xiaoyu heard the words, she immediately responded crisply, her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, her son is really powerful, but she just said a few words casually, even if they let them admit defeat, they won These jade pendants.

Looking at the style of these jade pendants, they should be worth a lot of money as the young master said. After pawning these jade pendants, they will have money again, and they can live in a better place as the young master said.

Well, in the future, I will live in a better place and eat better food. Anyway, my son is so good at making money. When I run out of money, I will let my son go out and gamble with others a few times, and I will have money.

At this time, Xiaoyu was thinking of talking nonsense, and she suddenly discovered that along the way, as long as her son made a move, the money she earned would be indispensable.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible for my young master to make more money if this situation happened a few more times, Xiaoyu thought in a whimsical way.

This is because Xiaoyu has been with Heng Xiulin for a long time, so she has such an idea. If it is any other maid, how can she have such a bold idea, that she wants to get rid of her son to make money?Doing such a lowly thing, I'm afraid I don't even know how to die.

Mu Guanyu and the others on the side, when they heard Heng Xiulin's words, their faces turned blue immediately, their eyes were like fire, and they stared at Heng Xiulin. Does this person know who they are?

It was his great luck to win their jade pendant, and now he actually wanted to pawn their jade pendant, and did such a thing to humiliate them?
Mu Guanyu and the others were extremely annoyed in their hearts, but when they thought of the other party's talent, they immediately stagnated. With the other party's talent, even if they knew their identities, it seemed normal to have such thoughts.

However, after being in this capacity for a long time, it is inevitable that I feel a little resentful at being so despised.

Heng Xiulin didn't pay attention to these people, and got angry. Now that he got it, he naturally didn't want to stay any longer. There is still a distance from the imperial city. If he goes late, it's really hard to arrange a place to live. .

Things like the imperial city, even at night, are still very lively. At that time, it is difficult for his carriage to enter the city.

Xiaoyu on the side, after hearing Heng Xiulin's words, didn't stop any longer, just drove the carriage, swaying towards the imperial city, the figure of the carriage, in the eyes of Mu Guanyu and others, became Getting smaller and smaller.

"Mr. Mu, the little girl is feeling unwell, so I won't stay any longer, so I'm leaving."

Nie Pingxue gave a slight blessing to Mu Guanyu and the others, and then said, no matter what happened to them before, Nie Pingxue was on Mu Guanyu's side.

Just because, seeing Heng Xiulin so arrogant and vulgar, she felt impatience in her heart, and then stood opposite Heng Xiulin.

But looking at it now, she felt that she was wrong to stand on Mu Guanyu's side, because during the competition, Mu Guanyu actually backed down, and it was obvious that he wrote a three-sentence couplet, and then Heng Xiulin answered.

However, there was one more Mu Guanyu. Even though Heng Xiulin agreed, Nie Pingxue still felt uncomfortable. Later, after watching Heng Xiulin win easily, she suddenly realized that Heng Xiulin Lin's talent seems to be extremely high.

People with such extremely high talents are easy to be liked wherever they go, and their own weird personalities are also easy to be understood by others.

And especially, when Heng Xiulin said in the end that he would take the jade pendant to pawn, she even thought that this was Heng Xiulin's own weird character, but any talented scholar or literati with some ability, not to say, more or less, Do they have some weird personalities?
For example, the literati, who have always disdained to get their hands on copper coins, in their view, are full of copper smell, but here in Heng Xiulin, they seem to love them very much.

But no matter what, in her opinion, Heng Xiulin is indeed extremely talented, that's enough, and this can cover up Heng Xiulin's arrogant character. ?

"Miss Nie is not feeling well? Do you want to see Miss Nie off?"

When Mu Guanyu heard Nie Pingxue's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then said very courteously, fortunately, although he lost this time, he didn't gain nothing.

Just now Nie Pingxue stood on his side and didn't say anything, but also said personally that if the two of them were to compete in a pair, Nie Pingxue knew that he was good at pairing, even though he would lose in the end, Nie Pingxue He also understood his intentions.

So after hearing that Nie Pingxue was not feeling well, he hurried forward and said comfortingly.

"No need, I won't bother you, sir."

Nie Pingxue shook his head, rejected Mu Guanyu's proposal, and then did not give Mu Guanyu any chance, and walked away from the side. Seeing this situation, Mu Guanyu's face suddenly changed slightly, Nie Pingxue's The approach seems to be a little different from what he thought.

And after Nie Pingxue left, his daughters also began to resign one after another, and rejected their offer to give them away. Seeing this situation, how could everyone know that these women had opinions on them.

It's just that everyone didn't realize that what Mu Guanyu did before made them feel dissatisfied. They thought that Heng Xiulin had won them, which made them feel ashamed and dissatisfied that they didn't have the strength to match up.
