Chapter 181 The Four Talented Men of Nanyang

As the peonies all over the city withered and fell.

This grand Luoyang flower-viewing and literary event has officially come to an end.

But, this is an end and also a new beginning.

Countless eyes turned to look at Kaifeng!

Because at the farewell banquet in Jingu Garden, in front of hundreds and thousands of scholars, Jia Shao officially declared war on the little prodigy Cui Xian!

One was the first child prodigy in Daliang who was famous in the literary circles and had outstanding talent.

One is an unparalleled talent who has risen dramatically in recent times and is full of knowledge.

Who wouldn't want to witness this super confrontation and clash between the 'twin stars of literature'?

If you don’t go, you are not a Daliang person!

Therefore, many of the scholars who participated in the Luoyang Literary Conference decided to...

Go to Kaifeng!

At the same time, Jia Shao's poem "Appreciating Peonies in the Exiled Immortal Pavilion in Luoyang" became, as expected, a huge hit in Luoyang City!

Readers also spontaneously submitted this poem to "Dongdu Huaxun".

When the literary gathering had just started, this newspaper held a poetry contest for the Peony Literary Meeting and announced that the first prize winner would receive a reward of fifty taels of silver!

Some excellent poems were even published in newspapers.

Everyone was secretly competing with each other.

But when Senior Brother Jia Shao sang the song "Only the Peony is the True Beauty of the Country", it immediately killed the competition!

He is the champion!

In response to this, Old Cui solemnly stated: It’s not me who is doing this behind the scenes, it’s just that you didn’t even give me a chance to spend the fifty taels of silver!

I can only pour from my left hand to my right hand.

But the necessary process still needs to be followed.

then.

The third day after the Peony Literary Festival ended.

The landlord, Mrs. Cui, who reported the news to the Dongdu Flower News, knocked on the door of Room No. 1, Block A, in the Peony Pavilion, bringing with her fifty taels of royalties.

Before entering the door, Old Cui was calm and cool.

After entering the door.

Old Cui held Xian'er's hand and smiled until her face wrinkled. "Oh, our good grandson! He's so amazing! Who in Luocheng doesn't know the name of my good grandson?"

"Oh, by the way, how come you changed your name when you went out? I was really scared when I saw you outside the Peony Pavilion that day."

"But you are smart, Xian'er. You must have your own plans for changing your name, so I won't ask any more questions."

"But our Dongdu Huaxun is really going to be launched this time. Of course, it is you, Brother Xian, who has made the greatest contribution!"

She talked a lot, her eyes full of pride.

A pair of sparkling eyes stared at Cui Xian with an expression that wanted to be praised.

Cui Xian pulled his grandmother to sit down and said with a smile: "Recently, I can always see many scholars holding our family's official newspaper in their hands."

"After my grandmother came to Luoyang, she quietly worked hard to make Dongdu Huaxun so prosperous. This really makes my grandson admire and amazed!"

"A few days ago, I was wondering, is this true? Did my grandmother really do this? Could there be someone behind the scenes directing her?"

Old Mrs. Cui laughed when she heard this, and she felt so relieved!

She couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth and deliberately raised her chin: "There is no expert to guide me, it's all done by grandma herself! If there really is an expert, it's because of your good teaching over the years, Brother Xian."

"By the way, grandma came here today to say goodbye to you."

"In Luoyang, my grandmother has figured out the route. So we have to rush to Kaifeng in advance to seize the market opportunity and make a fortune!"

"Your uncle, aunt, your parents, your brothers and sisters will all be rushing to Kaifeng during this period. Grandma will go ahead and find a place to stay so that the whole family can reunite. When you arrive in Kaifeng, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Just go and debate!"

My goodness, you never have a moment to rest.

Workaholic!

Cui Xian was shocked and said jokingly, "Then you, grandma, have to take it easy. Don't make all the money. At least leave some for other families."

Old Cui laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back, but her whole body was filled with lofty ambitions: "Make money! While my old bones can still move, I'll make as much money as I can!"

"Brother Xian, you have led our family from the Cui family of Hexi Village to the Cui family of Nanyang! Now, it is time for us to take action and lead the Cui family of Nanyang to become the Cui family of Henan!"

What a generous old lady!

But Cui Xian thought about it and said one more thing: "When my grandson rescued General Xiao, he offended the Southeast. At present, my grandson has not revealed his true identity, so he is not afraid for now. When he arrives in Kaifeng, once his identity is exposed, he will most likely face some retaliation."

"Grandma, be prepared and don't underestimate the enemy."

If this kind of thing happened five years ago, Mrs. Cui would definitely be worried.

But at this moment, she just smiled and said, "The world is bustling, all for profit. When you go out, how can you not make enemies? Brother Xian, don't worry, our family is not as fragile as you think."

"Besides, grandma is already working hard to make money and build up the family business! Just so that if my good grandson offends someone in the future, he will have the confidence to offend them!"

Wow!

Listening to what he said, he has the domineering attitude of the 'Head of the Cui Family in Henan'!

Cui Xian gave his grandmother a thumbs-up.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Cui said goodbye in a hurry and prepared to rush to Kaifeng.

She is anxious to make money!

Not long after Mrs. Cui left.

Su Qi, He Xu and others also came to say goodbye to Cui Xian.

They planned to leave Luoyang, travel around, and then go to Kaifeng in July.

Everyone had originally planned to invite Jia Shao to join them, but Jia Shao said that he wanted to stay in Luoyang for a period of "seclusion".
