Chu Fan wasn't good at poetry; he only knew how to use a sword. So, Chu Fan tentatively asked, "Brother Chen, if I can't answer it myself, can I ask someone else for help?"
Shen Kuan said, "Okay, one hundred taels of silver per time."
Liu Feiyun, Tie Weiqi, and the others remained expressionless, clearly having known beforehand. But Yang Qi, sitting at the same table, couldn't sit still.
Although his surname is Yang, he is not the Yang of the Hexi Yang clan, but rather a son from a poor family.
His ancestors owned a few small plots of land, which supported him to pass the imperial examination and become a third-place scholar.
One hundred taels of silver is enough to cover the expenses of an entire family for two years.
The purpose of placing him in Yin Jing's court was merely to give him more exposure in front of the courtesan.
Clearly, by this time, the person who could compete for the title of the most sought-after courtesan was either someone with genuine talent and learning or someone who was incredibly wealthy.
It's no longer a game that ordinary people can play.
Chu Fan certainly didn't have that much money to spend. In fact, he and Chu Xiaoxiao had spent a lot of money in Yinjing these past few days. Just tonight's meal at Chunfenglou alone would have cost them nearly half of their savings.
He was going all out to get clues about Chu Tianzhu.
"Brother Chen, can I get into the top ten first, and then have Xiaoxiao answer the questions for me?"
Shen Kuan said, "It is possible, but if Miss Xiaoxiao wins, then only Miss Xiaoxiao can have a heart-to-heart talk with Du Huakui."
Since it's all about finding clues about Chu Tianzhu, it doesn't matter who goes to talk to him.
Chu Fan said, "Then so be it, no problem."
Everyone looked at each other, then at Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Fan.
No one spoke, but they were all thinking the same thing.
Could it be that the brother and sister don't like each other?
Neither Chu Fan nor Chu Xiaoxiao could see through everyone's thoughts. One of them was focused on practicing swordsmanship, while the other was surprisingly naive in this place.
However, before they could think about it further, their thoughts were interrupted.
Because an incongruous, uninvited guest arrived at Chunfeng Tower.
This person appeared at the entrance of Chunfeng Tower, standing arrogantly in the center of the doorway. He was dressed in brocade robes and held a folding fan. His jade pendants and hair ornaments were exquisite and expensive, and his attire alone was enough to show that he was either rich or noble.
"Where is He Yunxiao? Tell him to get lost, cough cough, come out and see me."
Li Jin has arrived at the battlefield.
