Ten taels! Most of these people come from poor families, and barely supporting a scholar has almost bankrupted their families.

This time when they came to Tangzhou Prefecture to take part in the provincial examination, they only had a few taels of silver on them. Some of the money was borrowed from others by their elderly parents in order to meet their emergencies in Tangzhou Prefecture.

Now, even if they were sold, they still couldn’t come up with ten taels of silver.

"Wu Xiao, it's all your fault. It was you who proposed the competition. If it weren't for you, how could we have participated, and how could we have lost?"

"And Qian Feng, it's obvious that you and Zhang Xiulin have a grudge, but now you're dragging us into this."

"And Zhang Tian..."

The man wanted to blame Zhang Tian, ​​but when he thought of Zhang Tian's background, he swallowed his words.

Wu Xiao and Qian Feng were Chen Xiucai's two students. They were the first and most cheerful ones to jump among the dozen or so people.

Now, once something happened, the two of them immediately became the targets of everyone's attacks.

Wu Xiao and Qian Feng's faces were already ugly because of their loss to Zhao Chuchu, and now they were blamed, their anger was aroused.

Both sides immediately started cursing at each other, and if someone hadn't stopped them, they would have even started fighting.

"Okay, stop it. I'll pay you back." Zhang Tian suddenly spoke.

The original noise suddenly became quiet.

The dozen or so people wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

Their family background is different from Zhang Tian's.

For them, ten taels of silver was something they couldn't even come up with even if they sold all their fortunes, but for Zhang Tian, ​​it was probably just a drop in the bucket.

"Zhang Tian, ​​thank you." They thanked Zhang Tian.

Zhang Tian didn't say anything. She was not trying to help them. It was just that she was the source of the provocation against Zhang Xiulin, and she had indeed lost, so she was willing to accept the defeat.

Zhang Tian stood up and walked towards Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu was still sitting there, watching the little girl walk over with a gloomy look on her face. She took out the silver bills from her bosom and put them on the table.

“This is the prize.”

Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows but said nothing.

Zhang Tian continued, "I'm willing to accept the loss, but can you tell me what the second half of those three couplets is?"

Zhao Chuchu was a little surprised. She thought that with the girl's initial arrogance, she would say some threatening words, but she didn't expect her to say this. Zhao Chuchu's impression of her changed a little.

She did not refuse and picked up the pen immediately.

Zhang Tian immediately came over, looking anxious and staring.

First couplet: Smoke locks the willows in the pond, lights hang over the brocade railings.

Second couplet: Wangjiang Tower, looking at the river flow, Wangjiang Tower looks at the river flow, the river tower is eternal, the river flow is eternal. Yinyue Well, Yinyue’s shadow, Yinyue’s shadow is in Yinyue Well, the moon well is eternal, the moon shadow is eternal.

The third couplet: The eight kings fight against each other with their spears, and the four little ghosts join hands to capture the evil spirits and monsters.

After finishing, Zhao Chuchu put down her pen. She didn't take the banknote, but said, "I won't accept this bet. It was just a joke. I just want to say, little girl, it's good to be confident, but you must know that there are always people better than you. Don't underestimate anyone, otherwise you will suffer."

Zhao Chuchu was also unwilling to embarrass the little girl. After all, she was only in her teens. In modern times, she would still be an elementary school student, but she was already a college student.

She took Zhang Xiuyuan's hand and said, "Brother Yuan, let's go back."

Zhang Xiulin also left with them, leaving everyone in the inn behind.
