Everyone in Juyongguan knew that An Yong was a military general, so no one made things difficult for An Yong in terms of martial arts. Yin Wan'er's eldest cousin had now achieved the title of scholar, so he was sent out first. He first came up with two couplets of medium difficulty to test An Yong's level.
An Yong was not an uneducated fool. On the contrary, if it were not for his family's financial situation, his current achievements might be better than Yin Wan'er's eldest cousin. So the two not-so-difficult couplets were naturally not a problem for him. After a little thought, he came up with the answer.
As soon as the answer came out, the crowd cheered, and the generals following behind An Yong also applauded.
Yin Wan'er's eldest cousin didn't expect An Yong to be so powerful. He was so eager to win that he came up with a couplet that he thought was difficult. He said, "Nantongzhou and Beitongzhou, Nantongzhou connects the north and the south."
An Yong thought for a while and said, "East Pawnshop, West Pawnshop, East Pawnshop, and West Pawnshop." As soon as he finished speaking, there was another round of cheers.
An Yong cupped his hands and said, "Brother, have I passed this test?"
Yin Wan'er's eldest cousin nodded and said, "My brother-in-law is very capable. I have to admit that he is superior to me." Then he made a gesture of invitation.
An Yong also bowed and walked into the door with a group of relatives and friends.
When they arrived at the second gate, the person who blocked the gate was Yin Wan'er's brother Yin Muzhe. Yin Muzhe was still studying in the academy in his hometown. Although he was young, his talent for studying was no less than that of his eldest cousin. He had also passed the examination and became a scholar. He had just come to the border two days ago with the elders of Lord Yin's clan.
In his impression, his little sister was still a soft and cuddly little girl. He didn't expect that she would be married in the blink of an eye. Naturally, he didn't have a good face towards the boy who snatched his sister away.
He stopped at the second door and said, "Although you just passed the test of my eldest cousin, don't be complacent. It's not easy to pass mine."
An Yong naturally saw that this brother-in-law didn't like him, but since he had married someone else's sister, he could only smile and said, "Please give me some advice, brother-in-law."
Yin Muze looked at An Yong, who was very respectful, nodded, and said, "On such a happy day, I don't want to embarrass you. Just compose three poems to urge you to get ready, and write them down!"
The relatives and friends behind An Yong were stunned. Isn't this a problem? Why are they so unconvinced? You know, none of them can do it. It seems that they can only rely on An Yong himself.
An Yong also knew that the people behind him could not help, so he did not plan to ask for help. He thought about it and started writing on the prepared paper.
With a flourish of his brush, a poem appeared on the paper: "It is said that you mix rouge under the candlelight, and don't pretend to be spring in front of the mirror. You don't need to make up your face, but leave your eyebrows for the painter."
As soon as the first poem was finished, it attracted cheers from the crowd. The poem was well-written, and the handwriting was beautiful. The font was graceful and the strokes were flowing. Although the verses were so tender, the momentum in the words could not be concealed.
As soon as this poem was finished, Yin Muzhe was already very impressed with An Yong. Although the man in front of him was not very likable, looking at the poem and the calligraphy, he could tell that An Yong was still worthy of his little sister.
Although Yin Muze thought so in his heart, he did not show it on his face and continued, "There are two more."
An Yong thought for a moment, and then wrote on the paper: "The white flowers in the sky do not avoid autumn. Tonight, the Weaver Girl marries the Cowherd. Tens of thousands of people are waiting for the phoenix to appear, and they all go to the Moon Tower to beg for wisdom."
As soon as the poem was finished, everyone cheered even louder than before. An Yong did not stop and continued writing: "With less makeup, silver powder and gold hairpins, the upright ceiling returns to nature. I heard that the season in the palace is different, and the fragrance of the ninth autumn fills the mirror table."
As soon as these three makeup poems came out, Yin Muze was already convinced by An Yong. He said, "I admire you. We must have a good discussion when we have time."
An Yong nodded and said, "Okay."
In fact, An Yong was also panicking. Although he had some knowledge, it was impossible for him to write so many poems urging makeup in such a short time. This was all thanks to An Ning.
In fact, An Ning had read a lot of novels, and knew that in ancient times, when blocking the door, one had to write a poem to urge the bride to get dressed, so he flipped through several books and copied about ten poems to let An Yong memorize them, just in case. At this time, An Yong just memorized these poems and wrote them out silently. If he was asked to compose poems on the spot, he really didn't have the ability to do so.
Standing in front of the last door were the ladies from various mansions, and Sun Miaomiao was the leader. Sun Miaomiao stood in front of everyone and said crisply, "General An, we are all Wan'er's friends. We don't test your talent or your martial arts. We just want a promise from you."
An Yong cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, ladies. Although I, An Yong, am a rough man and cannot speak sweet words, I swear here that I will only treat Wan'er well and will never take a concubine."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate gasp. This promise was too heavy. You know, in ancient times, it was very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even An Yong's relatives and friends did not agree with what he said at this time.
Sun Miaomiao was listening to An Yong's words and was very envious of Yin Wan'er. Just as she was about to let An Yong in, she heard a discordant voice. She only heard Miss Chen say, "This cousin Wan'er is really something. She hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's already asking her husband not to take a concubine. This is too overbearing. If you don't know, you might think that cousin Wan'er is so jealous!"
As soon as these words came out, An Yong's face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Miss, please be careful with your words. What I said just now was all my own opinion and has nothing to do with Wan'er."
Miss Chen was also shocked when she saw An Yong's cold face, and said, "I'm sorry, General An, I'm also worried that my cousin is ignorant and will ruin her reputation."
At this time, Yin Muze came over and said, "It's not your turn to interfere in what's going on here."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the bridesmaid quickly stepped out and said, "Oh, the auspicious time has arrived, let's go in quickly!"
After hearing what the bridesmaid said, An Yong also put on a smile and strode into Yin Wan'er's boudoir. After Yin Wan'er said goodbye to her parents, she was carried out of the house by her eldest brother. Yin Wan'er lay on Yin Muze's back, feeling very sad for a moment, and tears as big as beans fell.
Yin Muze felt the wetness on his back and choked up as he said, "Wan'er, why don't we not get married? I'll support you in the future."
Yin Wan'er burst into laughter and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?"
An Yong, who was following behind, was also shocked. He couldn't let his brother-in-law take back the wife he had finally married, so he quickly said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry. I will definitely treat Wan'er well. What I said just now is true and I will never lie."
