Chapter 260 The Second Literary Battle
at the same time.
The news of Wei Shuyu's entry into the Myriad Flowers Pavilion spread at an extremely fast pace...
Despite his young age, Wei Shuyu's talent was beyond question.
What is the best way to become famous?
Climbing up by stepping on the reputation of celebrities!
The competition for the title of "Queen of Flowers" at Wanhua Pavilion was originally a contest of poetry and literary talent...
This is also where some talented people have made a name for themselves!
All the renowned scholars of Chang'an flocked to the Wanhua Pavilion.
Upon learning this, Liu Feiyan, Cai Wenge, Zheng Haoqiu, and other talented scholars from the Imperial Academy changed their original gathering place to Wanhua Pavilion...
Wei Shuyu was unaware of all this.
He lay on the attic, staring at Yuan Tiangang downstairs.
“Madam, you absolutely mustn’t let this Taoist priest in…” Wei Shuyu said without turning his head.
"Don't worry, Young Master Wei."
The madam flicked her handkerchief: "With just one word from you, even if he turns into an ant, my Wan Hua Ge can still drag him out and throw him out."
"Um."
Wei Shuyu nodded and casually picked up the chilled juice and took a sip.
not bad.
It tastes much better than what he makes himself.
There's a reason why Wanhua Pavilion became the number one brothel in Chang'an.
Suddenly, he glanced down at the corner of his eye.
A group of well-dressed young men were walking towards the Wan Hua Pavilion.
A rough count revealed no fewer than twenty people.
And isn't the one walking at the very front our old acquaintance, Changsun Chong?
"Big brother, something bad has happened!"
Just then, Wang Xiu rushed in: "Changsun Chong has arrived with his men, they want to avenge you!"
Avenge the humiliation?
Wei Shuyu was stunned.
"Is he planning another verbal battle?"
Come to think of it, two months have passed, and Changsun Chong should be getting impatient by now.
"How dare you!"
Choi Shin-ki roared, "Let him come! The big boss will just have to say something to make him look utterly humiliated. Don't you guys agree?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Brother, you're awesome."
"Imperial Censor Wei is not afraid of them."
Wei Shuyu looked at the group of people who were full of vigor and was a little confused.
It's not like you're the ones competing, why are you getting so worked up?
Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from downstairs...
"Wei Shuyu!"
Changsun Chong looked up at him.
"A defeated opponent dares to claim courage?"
Cui Shenji stood on the attic, hands on his hips: "If you want to challenge me, you'll have to get past me first!"
Wei Shuyu was taken aback.
It's no wonder I've taken such good care of you.
But... can you write poetry?
"That's right, if you want to challenge Big Brother, you'll have to get past us first!"
Wang Xiu, Fang Yi'ai, and Qin Shandao all stepped forward...
This moment.
Wei Shuyu was somewhat moved.
"Remaining love, go away!"
Just then, a handsome man dressed in fine clothes stepped out from Changsun Chong's group.
He gazed up at the pavilion, his tone indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yi'ai was jolted awake...
"Brother, what brings you here?"
“Your poetry skills are still far from sufficient; you should leave,” Fang Yizhi advised.
"oh."
Fang Yi'ai withdrew very quickly.
Anyway, my brother won't lose, so it doesn't matter if I'm gone.
"Wang Xiu, you may also leave."
No sooner had Fang Yi'ai stepped down than a refined and scholarly man stepped forward.
"elder brother……"
"Back off!"
"oh."
As his companions retreated one by one, Wei Shuyu was shocked.
It seems Changsun Chong was terrified we'd beat him up, so he made thorough preparations.
"You all have older brothers, but I don't!"
Choi Shin-ki, hands on hips, burst into laughter: "I am the eldest son of the Choi family, wahahaha..."
Changsun Chong gritted his teeth.
Choi Sin-ki is the root of all evil!
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state now!
Just as he was about to speak, the madam suddenly stepped in to smooth things over...
"Oh dear, gentlemen, please calm down..."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for harmony and peace."
"Shouldn't someone set the challenges for the contest?"
"It just so happens that there is a competition for the title of Flower Queen at my Wanhua Pavilion tonight. Why don't we take this opportunity to have the competition held at Wanhua Pavilion?"
"To be honest, the one who will be setting the questions for Wan Hua Pavilion tonight is Su Xu, the Grand Scholar Su!"
Su Xu was one of the Eighteen Scholars of the Zhenguan Era.
Many people marveled at the power behind Wan Hua Ge and tacitly accepted the suggestion.
"Wei Shuyu, what do you think?" Changsun Chong asked.
"Whatever makes you happy."
Wei Shuyu was helpless.
Ordinary fights can be postponed.
Changsun Chong can't be pushed aside...
Wei Mansion.
Wu Qiqi skipped and hopped her way to the Wei residence.
"Qiqi is here?"
Wei Zheng's face blossomed into a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.
This is our daughter-in-law.
"Greetings, Uncle Wei." Wu Qiqi bowed obediently.
"No need for formalities."
Old Wei was so happy that his beard stood on end.
As they were talking, the butler hurried in.
Before the butler could speak, Wei Zheng introduced himself in a cheerful manner...
"Old Wu, come here, let me reintroduce you. This is our daughter-in-law, we're engaged!"
"Old Wu greets the young mistress." The butler hurriedly bowed.
"Uncle Wei, stop joking with me."
Wu Qiqi blushed, looking a little embarrassed: "Hello, Uncle Butler."
"Ha ha……"
Wei Zheng laughed heartily: "Qiqi is looking for Shuyu, isn't he?"
"Uh-huh."
"Old Wu, where did Shuyu go?"
"Well……"
The butler was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"how?"
Wei Zheng frowned: "Has he gotten into trouble again?"
"no."
The butler shook his head.
"Then why are you stammering?"
"Master, this old servant feels it is necessary to tell a lie."
*Smack*
Wei Zheng slammed his hand on the table: "How many times have I told you? People from the Wei family are always honest and upright, and never tell a lie..."
"Speak up!"
The housekeeper remained hesitant.
"Believe it or not, I'll deduct your entire next month's salary!" Wei Zheng snapped.
“Master, you told this old servant to say it.”
"explain!"
"Young Master has gone to the Myriad Flowers Pavilion!"
The air became quiet.
I told you to say it, and you actually did...
Even if we don't ask you to lie, wouldn't you tell me secretly, or wait until Qiqi leaves before telling me?
Wei Zheng stiffly turned his head to look at Wu Qiqi...
"Oh, at the Myriad Flowers Pavilion."
Wu Qiqi chuckled, "Then I'll go find Uncle Wei at the Myriad Flowers Pavilion..."
"Qiqi, won't you stay for a meal?" Wei Zheng forced himself to ask.
"We'll eat together when I bring Wei Shuyu back."
After speaking, Wu Qiqi half-squatted and bowed.
Then he left the Wei residence.
Where's my rattan cane?
After Wu Qiqi left, Wei Zheng roared in fury.
"Master, the problem now is not to beat up the young master!" the butler chimed in.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Wei Zheng paced anxiously in circles.
Then I suddenly woke up...
"Let's go to the Myriad Flowers Pavilion!"
The Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin rarely had a moment of leisure.
Enjoy the flowers at Changning Palace and feed your beloved dragon carp...
Xiao Wei is engaged, and he can accept it.
After all, they are his subjects; he should be tolerant and magnanimous.
What's unacceptable is that Lao Wei is always so cheerful...
He criticized me, and then he was all smiles!
How the hell can you tolerate that?
"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu has gone to the Wan Hua Pavilion..."
Just then, a secret agent came to report.
Li Shimin did not react and continued to feed him.
Even I can't interfere in such trivial matters...
I tried to manage it, but Lao Wei criticized me again.
"Changsun Chong has also gone, intending to begin the second round of literary debate!"
Um?
Li Shimin paused in his act of throwing the bait, then suddenly turned around...
"What did you say?"
"Tonight, Changsun Chong and Wei Shuyu will have their second literary duel at the Wanhua Pavilion..."
Damn it.
How could you miss such a great show?
fish culture?
What a load of rubbish!
Throw all the bait in your hand into the pool.
"Wang De, change your clothes and head to the Myriad Flowers Pavilion!"
