Chapter 013 One Sing One and One Gamble (1)

Cui Huan frowned slightly.

No matter how miserable Zhang Xuan was, on the surface, he was still the future son-in-law of the Cui family.

As long as the marriage contract between the Zhang family and the Cui family does not touch for a day, Zhang Xuan's status as Cui Ying's fiancé-in-law will not change in any way.Therefore, Cui Huan actually felt uncomfortable seeing Zhang Xuan about to make a fool of himself.

It's just that for this sake, he has nothing to do.I just hope that Zhang Xuan knows some poetry, so that he can come up with a poem to deal with the scene, so as not to embarrass the Cui family with him.

Xiao Fu and Chen He glanced at Zhang Xuan dismissively, then turned their heads away.The two sat together with their shoulders crossed and their backs pointing to the blooming lotus on the water surface of Qujiang Pond not far away, talking and laughing while admiring the scenery, without paying attention to Zhang Xuan at all.

Mrs. Guo Guo stared at the notorious but handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament, and smiled playfully, "Zhang Xuan—my father was also a celebrity in my Tang Dynasty in the past, and he was famous all over the world. I want to come to Zhang Jiuling's son , Literary talent is not too bad. Well, you go ahead and sing, if you sing well, I will definitely reward you a lot."

"Yes." Zhang Xuan glanced at the notorious Mrs. Guo Guo recorded in the history books, bowed again to salute, but said loudly at the same time, "Ma'am, Xu Wenbin, the second son of Dali Temple Minister Xu's family, is also a talented scholar." Excellent, especially good at poetry and fu. Today's poetry meeting is a rare opportunity, and I am willing to sing and reconcile with Second Young Master Xu to cheer for my wife, and please give me your permission."

Mrs. Guo Guo let out an oh, and her gorgeous, charming and plump face was filled with playful smiles.She cast a glance to the sidelines, and then said with a smile, "Alright. Since the two of you are so caring, the slave family will be disrespected. Come, please invite the second son of Xu Qiao's family, Xu Wenbin, into the arena."

In fact, there was no need to send someone to invite him. Zhang Xuan's words had already been heard by Xu Wenbin and everyone present when he said them in public.

Although Zhang Xuan's reputation is terrible, Xu Wenbin from the Xu Mansion is not a good bird, and his reputation is also good.These two Chang'an dandies actually tear each other down in public, "dog eats dog" - so when Zhang Xuan said this, many people couldn't help but snicker.Even Xiao Fu and Chen He looked back at the field full of interest, ready to watch a good show.

Amidst whispers, under the strange eyes of everyone, Zhang Xuan got up and stood upright on the spot.He waved to Xu Wenbin who was at the edge of the crowd, and said with a cold smile, "Second Master Xu, Madam has an invitation, how long will you wait if you don't enter the venue?"

Xu Wenbin glared at Zhang Xuan viciously, gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart: Just go up, I can still be afraid of you little thief?I don't believe that you little thief can really compose poems.

The two have been together for more than a year, so they naturally know each other quite well.Xu Wenbin guessed that Zhang Xuan was just bluffing, and he couldn't make the Xu family lose face in public, so he bit the bullet and walked into the arena.

The scholars, dignitaries and celebrities present all sat upright or stood still and smiled, looking at the two Chang'an dudes amusedly and seeing how they planned to carry out this good show.

"Second son, please." Zhang Xuan waved his hand and smiled.

Xu Wenbin glared at Zhang Xuan, but sneered, "Please first. If you can sing well, then I can sing. Zhang Xuan, I will take a look today. How can you, a little thief who doesn't know anything, sing well?" Come out with poems?"

"What if I can sing it?" Zhang Xuan stared at Xu Wenbin, waved his hands lightly and said with a smile, "How about you?"

"Then——I will lose you a hundred pennies!" Xu Wenbin blurted out angrily, not caring that this was a high society poetry feast with a large audience, and said angrily, "If you can't sing, I will take your celeb Si's white parrot lost to a certain company! Do you dare to bet?"

What a hopeless dude.On such occasions, gambling is actually started, and it is harmless to gamble, but the bet asked is such a playful and obscene thing that cannot be put on the table—the crowd burst into laughter, Wang Wei and other famous people even frowned .

"Okay. If I can't recite the poem about the willow, the white parrot will lose to you. However, if I can recite the poem, I don't want you to lose a hundred pennies. You just need to apologize in public and say 'Xu Wen Bin is an idiot' that's fine!" Zhang Xuan teased with a weird smile on his lips.

"You little thief!..." Xu Wenbin was about to burst out of embarrassment, but saw Zhang Xuan bowing to Mrs. Guoguo again, "Madam, please be a witness!"

"Okay, okay, okay! The slave family will be a witness for the two young brothers. With the witness of the slave family and all the adults, no one is allowed to play tricks." Mrs. Guo Guo laughed loudly, and said three "good" words in succession, Leaning forward and backward with a smile, her gorgeous chest was undulating.

She organized this Poetry Banquet in Qujiangchi for nothing more than to have fun. For her, Zhang Xuan and Xu Wenbin, a pair of "living treasures", "acting" back and forth on the court is far more worthwhile than reciting poems against each other. one look.

After Mrs. Guo Guo made such a statement, others could no longer raise any objections, and could only let the two of them mess around.

Xu Wenbin turned pale with anger, gritted his teeth and lowered his head.He didn't dare to refute Mrs. Guo Guo's face in public, so he could only wait bitterly for Zhang Xuan to make a fool of himself.

"Shameless!" Xiao Fu curled his lips into a disdainful smile.

And Chen He, who was beside him, also said contemptuously, "Extremely boring, these two idiots are shameless, they are really annoying."

Cui Huan sighed secretly, raised his head silently and swept away the crowd of ladies outside the arena.Not far away, surrounded by several maids, a graceful young girl about sixteen or seventeen years old with bright eyes and white teeth was standing there with willow eyebrows tightly frowned. Looking at Zhang Xuan who was talking and laughing freely on the field, a smile appeared on her pretty face. An embarrassing blushing color.

It was Cui Ying, Cui Huan's younger sister.

Although she hated Zhang Xuan extremely, she also extremely disliked marrying him, and the Cui family also intended to withdraw the engagement; but before the engagement was terminated, Zhang Xuan was still her fiancé-in-law in name.

This guy was so shameless and embarrassing in public, Cui Ying felt that her face was burning.

And Zhang Li, a member of the Zhang family who was standing on the periphery of the crowd looking eagerly, lowered his head in embarrassment, feeling ashamed to continue watching.

……

……

With hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan walked slowly towards the desk in the field, with a calm and calm posture.But although his face looked calm and calm, he felt ashamed secretly in his heart.

With his knowledge of traditional Chinese studies in his previous life, it is all right to learn to compose a few ancient poems.It's just that it may not be easy to win among a group of Tang Dynasty poets.Up to now, we can only learn from, imitate or even plagiarize some "ancient" poems.In order to rectify his reputation and completely wash away all the dirty water on this dude, he couldn't care less.

Walking to the desk, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment while picking up his pen.

Standing aside, Xu Wenbin suddenly sneered, "Why? Just now the cowhide was blowing loudly, but when the matter came to an end, he flinched?"

Zhang Xuan ignored him, and just buried himself in writing.
