"You!" The man pointed his fan at Wen Yu, his face full of anger, "How dare you! Do you know who my father is? Come here! Slap me in the face!"
Just as Wen Yu was about to speak, the scholar suddenly stood in front of her.
Because of the cough, the redness on his face never faded, but his voice was a little stern: "This matter was caused by me, don't take your anger out on this young lady."
"Hero saving the beauty? Don't you know who you are? How dare you speak nonsense in front of me! Since you have asked for it, come here! Smash his mouth!"
"Wait!" Wen Yu poked her head out from behind the scholar, "Who are you calling me here? Who do you think you are?"
"Who in Shengjing City doesn't know my name, Luo Jing?"
"Of course, this group of poor scholars who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations don't count. None of them can match my couplets." Luo Jing waved his fan with a proud look on his face.
Wen Yu snorted and laughed: "Luo Jing? Never heard of it."
Luo Jing glared at Wen Yu: "You haven't heard of it? It doesn't matter. After today, you will have heard of it, and you will avoid me when you hear my name in the future! It is not a wise move to mess with me, Luo Jing, in Shengjing City."
Wen Yu suddenly realized what was going on and said, "So you are a piece of shit. People are afraid of getting close to you, so they avoid you when they hear your name."
There were a few suppressed laughs from the crowd.
"You!" Luo Jing pointed his fan at Wen Yu, looked around, and sneered, "You are so sharp-tongued, I will pull out your teeth today! What are you still standing there for? Go! I will beat you to death!"
"Wait!" Wen Yu stretched out her hand. "I think we shouldn't rush into it. After all, isn't it all for a hundred taels? I have a deal that can make several hundred taels directly. Do you want to listen?"
Luo Jing narrowed his eyes.
Wen Yu said calmly, "You look down on this gentleman's couplets. I guess your attainments in couplets must be very high. How about this? I have some couplets here. If you can match them, I will give you 100 taels for each one you match. How about it? Do you want to play?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar.
Even Luo Jing was shocked: "One hundred taels?"
Wen Yu nodded: "Yes."
Luo Jing laughed loudly: "When it comes to couplets, I'm not afraid of anyone! Who in Shengjing doesn't know that I, Luo Jing, am good at couplets? Isn't this just giving me money?"
"Okay, I'll play with you! But if you can't come up with the money by then, I'll settle all the old and new accounts together!"
"This lady..." The scholar's brows were filled with worry when he heard this.
Wen Yu waved her hand and curled her lips: "Don't worry, it's just for fun."
"Listen carefully, my first line is 'Sun and Moon Yin and Yang Ears'."
The scholars around him all fell into deep thought, and a few of them soon showed a hint of joy on their faces, and it was obvious that they had come up with their own words.
Luo Jing smiled disdainfully: "How difficult is that? How do I feel about 'anxiety'?"
Wen Yu did not comment, but continued: "Heaven is to earth, rain is to wind, continent is to sky, mountain flowers are to sea trees, and red sun is to the sky."
Luo Jing frowned, and after a moment he said, "River versus Han, green versus red, Rain Lord versus Thunder Lord, Misty Rain versus Snow Cave, Moon Palace versus Heavenly Palace. This lady, two hundred taels."
"Don't worry, there is more. Look at the river from the Wangjiang Tower. Look at the river from the Wangjiang Tower. The river tower is eternal, and the river is eternal."
"This..." The scholars frowned. This couplet was very ingenious and could be described as exquisite.
Luo Jing's eyes flickered slightly, he closed the fan, and seemed to become serious: "Interesting..."
This time he was in deep thought for a long time, even pacing back and forth, fanning his hands constantly as time passed by.
Just when everyone thought he couldn't figure it out, his eyes lit up and he said loudly: "Yinyue Well, Yinyue Shadow, Yinyue Shadow in Yinyue Well, the Moon Well lasts for ten thousand years, and the Moon Shadow lasts for ten thousand years."
"Good! Good! That's right!" The scholars couldn't help but cheer.
Luo Jing was naturally very satisfied, with a proud look on his face, "Three hundred taels, do you have any more pairs?"
Wen Yu said casually, "Of course there is. Listen carefully, when gods pee, there is a pool of holy water, and when monsters fart, there is a gust of evil wind."
Luo Jing: ...
Scholars: ...
Lin Yuzhi and Lu Ren in the upstairs box: ...
Wen Yu clapped her hands: "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"
“…”
"Can't get it right? Then the next one, vertebrae, sternum, skull, sacrum, every bone is powerful."
“…”
"No way, no way? Still can't get it right? Then, the sound of wind, rain and reading, I won't make any noise. Is that easy? You can't get this right? It's very simple. Family affairs, national affairs and world affairs are none of my business. See, it's very simple."
Luo Jing: ...
Wen Yu sighed and said, "You didn't match all three. Three hundred taels! What a pity! But I have another very, very simple one. You will definitely be able to match it!"
"Listen carefully. I am crazy about him. I am banging my head against the wall for him. Come on, teach me!"
Luo Jing said angrily: "How can this be a pair?!"
Wen Yu asked curiously, "How is this not a couplet? It has all the requirements of a couplet, so how can it not be a couplet?"
Luo Jing: "Then you fight one of them and let me see!"
"That's right, listen carefully, I will die for him, work hard for him, and suffer all the sins for him."
Luo Jing closed his eyes: "This is unbearable!"
Wen Yu crossed her arms and said helplessly: "Well, since you can't appreciate this, let's try something more elegant. The first line is 'Above is not north or south'."
Luo Jing opened his eyes and blurted out: "I am nothing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yu started clapping.
He also encouraged the other scholars who were watching the show: "Come on, applaud, applaud, everyone! This is the first time you see someone calling you a worthless person, everyone applaud!"
"You bitch! You're looking for death!"
Luo Jing reacted and a ferocious look appeared on his face.
But in the next second he suddenly screamed, covered his mouth with his hands, and streams of blood flowed out from between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.
He moved his mouth and spat out a peanut covered in blood and flesh.
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows, glanced at the second floor vaguely, and said exaggeratedly: "Great! This retribution comes too quickly!"
Luo Jing covered his mouth and looked around in surprise, but found nothing. Murder instantly flashed in his eyes, clearly saying "You bitch, I want you dead."
Seeing this, Wen Yu patted her chest, looking frightened by his look.
"I'm so scared. May I ask who your father is? How dare you be so arrogant?"
The servant behind Luo Jing stepped forward, raised his chin, and answered for him: "Our young master is the son of the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy!"
Wen Yu had no expression on her face, no fluctuations: "Oh."
But the expressions of the scholars standing by changed a little. The son of a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy?
Who doesn't know that the chief examiners of the Spring Examination were all the Grand Secretaries of the Hanlin Academy and the Ministers of Rites?
As a result, the eyes of many scholars had become secretly heated.
Luo Jing naturally felt this gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, but his mouth was hurting badly at the moment, making it difficult for him to speak, which made him feel suffocated.
At this time, Wen Yu chuckled inappropriately: "A mere academician of the Hanlin Academy."
