Chapter 181: I am a top student in calligraphy and painting(1/2)
When the people around him heard Li Quan's words, their eyes suddenly lit up. Everyone's eyes were full of anticipation. There was a good show to watch, and who didn't want to watch it? The most important thing was that Li Quan was quite famous in the capital.
Although he is not a top talent, he is definitely a high-ranking figure. Now that he challenges Yunze, everyone really wants to see how Li Quan abuses Yunze.
Among them, Gao Ying was the most excited. He had just been scolded by Yunze and lost all face. He also wanted to take the opportunity to see Yunze make a fool of himself.
On the other hand, Marquis Jing'an and his family looked at Li Quan with strange expressions, as if they were looking at a fool. Marquis Wu An also looked away, not knowing how to speak.
He really wanted to persuade Li Quan not to humiliate himself. You must know that Marquis Wu An had personally seen Yunze fight against the four great talents of Ningsu alone.
The four great talents were in the limelight at that time, and their literary talents were also very good, but in the end they were killed by Yunze. Even if Li Quan was slightly stronger than the four great talents, he would still be pinned to the ground by Yunze.
friction.
But he didn’t dare to say it out loud if he reminded him. Didn’t you see the excitement in Marquis Jing’an’s eyes? The old man probably also wanted to see Yunze’s performance. If he messed up this matter, Marquis Jing’an would probably follow him.
There will be enmity.
At the same time, everyone turned their attention to Yunze. Everyone expected Yunze to agree. Whether they knew Yunze was powerful or thought Yunze was a fool. Everyone had their own thoughts.
However, Yunze looked at Li Quan indifferently and said: "You... want to bet with me, but you don't want to yet!"
As soon as Yunze said these words, everyone around him was disappointed. The Jing'anhou family was very disappointed. Although they knew Yunze's talent and learning, they still regretted not having met him in person.
But Yunze obviously wanted to challenge him, so it was hard for them to force him.
As for those who wanted to see Yunze's jokes, they thought Yunze was timid and did not dare, especially Li Quan and Gao Ying. They thought Yunze was afraid. That's why they made such an excuse.
"Is it because he's not worthy, or because he doesn't dare... Mr. Yun is just a idiot, so he doesn't dare to accept the challenge! If Mr. Yun still has some backbone, don't let me look down upon him!"
Li Quan looked at Yunze coldly and used the provoking method. When the people around him heard this, they all looked at Yunze playfully and jokingly. Everyone wanted to see if Yunze would get angry and turn around and leave.
After all, if he really agreed, Yunze would definitely be tortured by Li Quan.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Yunze just looked at Li Quan indifferently, and said with disdain in his eyes: "Who do you think you are, you don't deserve to look down on me..."
Yunze's words directly cursed Li Quan, who turned red and was speechless for a long time. Yes, who is he? He is not a great scholar or a celebrity.
Is he worthy of someone who just relies on his father's shadow to pretend to be here, and opens his mouth and shuts up to say that he looks down on others? Yunze's words were so shocking that he didn't know how to refute.
If he refutes that he is the son of the right prime minister, it is still a slap in the face. If he refutes that he has some achievements, he has no outstanding achievements.
However, soon, a sense of pride appeared on his face, and he said to Yunze: "Just because I am an excellent student in the calligraphy and painting academy, my paintings have been praised by the Holy Emperor! Do you think this is enough to look down on you!"
As soon as Li Quan said these words, the people around him nodded involuntarily. In the Jing Dynasty, because Song Ji liked calligraphy and painting, the status of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy was even higher than that of the Imperial College.
After all, the imperial examinations of the Jing Dynasty included calligraphy and painting subjects, and they accounted for a very high proportion. Since Song Ji established the calligraphy and painting academy, how many children of powerful people wanted to enter it.
The dignitaries in the capital are proud to study in the Painting and Calligraphy Academy. In everyone's mind, those who can enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy are considered geniuses. After all, one cannot enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy casually.
Li Quan brought up this identity, making everyone feel that Li Quan was qualified to look down on Yunze. Not to mention, Li Quan's paintings were approved by the emperor, so Li Quan was even more qualified.
"Mr. Yun, Mr. Li is a genius in calligraphy and painting. With his status, it would be fair to say that he looks down on you." At this time, someone next to him spoke for Li Quan.
One person spoke, and then many others followed. This was the best opportunity to curry favor with Li Quan, and they certainly couldn't miss it. After all, Li Quan's father was the right prime minister.
Although they were in Marquis Jing'an's Mansion, these people were not afraid of offending Marquis Jing'an. Speaking of which, they felt that Marquis Jing'an had not spoken, and instinctively thought that Marquis Jing'an actually didn't care about Yunze.
Very caring.
Hearing everyone's flattering words, Li Quan couldn't help but show a sense of pride on his face. He looked at Yunze and said with a mocking look on his face: "How about it, Mr. Yun, I now have the right to look down on you! If you have the guts,
, If not, I agreed to compete with this young master in terms of literary talent. I will not bully you in calligraphy and painting, so my calligraphy and painting skills are not as good as yours!"
In the end, he even pretended to be generous.
However, just as the pride appeared on his face, he saw Yunze calmly saying to Li Quan: "Are you the top student in the Painting and Calligraphy Academy? That is indeed amazing!"
As soon as Yunze said these words, Li Quan's expression became even more joyful. He thought that Yunze also recognized his greatness, but his pride lasted for only a moment. Yunze continued:
"I heard that there is a new Jijiu in your calligraphy and painting academy. I wonder if you know about this!"
Yunze's question was a bit inexplicable. What they were talking about now was whether Li Quan had the right to look down on Yunze. What did this have to do with whether the Calligraphy and Painting Academy came to offer wine or not.
At this time, there were people around who were dissatisfied with Li Quan and said: "Mr. Yun, there is a new wine ceremony coming to the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. I know that there are probably not many people in the whole capital who don't know about it. But this has something to do with you and Mr. Li.
What’s the relationship!”
"Yes, Mr. Yun is probably afraid and wants to change the subject. If Mr. Yun is afraid, why not just admit defeat and just say you don't dare to compete with Mr. Li? We won't laugh at you!"
"Haha...yeah! It's better to just admit defeat and change the subject at your own risk!"
The crowd burst into laughter, teasing and ridiculing Yunze.
When Luo Qingcen heard this, she looked at those who mocked Yunze with pity. She was looking forward to what Yunze would say next. She didn't know what those people would think after hearing it.
While everyone was mocking, Li Quan looked at Yun Ze and said jokingly: "Yes, Mr. Yun, everyone knows about the new offering of wine at the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. Does this have anything to do with our current affairs? You...
…I’m afraid!”
His eyes were full of contempt and ridicule.
Speaking of which, the fact that the Calligraphy and Painting Academy came to offer wine had already spread among those who wanted to enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy. People even heard that the new sword wine was personally recruited by the emperor.
However, these people don't know who the new sacrificial wine is. Only some people in the calligraphy and painting academy really know. Those people only know their names. As for who they are! No one knows.
However, at this moment, Yunze looked at Li Quan playfully and said, "Then do you know the name of the new sacrificial wine!?"
As soon as Yunze said these words, Li Quan looked at Yunze with disdain, and said with a hint of pride in his eyes: "If you ask others, maybe you don't know this, but if you ask me, I really know it.
.The new memorial wine at the Calligraphy and Painting Academy is named Yun and Ze! What... do you want me to introduce you to you?"
Li Quan thought that Yunze wanted to ask him who the new sacrificial wine was, so that he could curry favor with the new sacrificial wine and see if he could enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy through him.
However, when Li Quan said this, several people around him faintly felt that something was wrong. His surname was Yun?! How could this surname be such a coincidence, although they didn't know what Yunze's name was.
But they knew clearly that the grandson-in-law of Marquis Jing'an was named Yun. Didn't they see everyone calling him Mr. Yun?
However, when everyone looked at Yunze's ridiculously young face, they felt that it had nothing to do with the calligraphy and painting academy. After all, Yunze looked younger than Li Quan. Such a young man would be good at calligraphy and painting.
Courtyard offering wine.
Precisely because of this idea, Li Quan did not think that Yun Ze, whose surname was Yun, would be the sacrificial wine of the calligraphy and painting academy.
"It turns out that Mr. Li knows the name of the sacrificial wine. If this is the case, then I wonder if Mr. Li knows the name of Yun!" Yunze looked at Li Quan jokingly.
As soon as he said these words, Li Quan's originally proud face suddenly froze inexplicably. He saw something was wrong from Yunze's expression. Faintly, he seemed to feel that there was something that he had overlooked.
But before he could figure it out, Marquis Jing'an said calmly: "My grandson-in-law's name is...Yunze!"
As soon as he said these words, the whole place fell silent. The person who had just been mocking Yunze and saying that Yunze wanted to change the topic suddenly felt as if someone had pinched his throat, and his face turned green and red.
Marquis Jing'an personally proved to Yunze that no matter how stupid they were, they could still tell that the Yunze in front of them was the new sacrificial wine of the calligraphy and painting academy in Li Quan's mouth.
But how is this possible! The Yunze in front of me is so young that he can become the Jijiu of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy. He is the teacher of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy. It is difficult for a person of Yunze's age to enter the Painting and Calligraphy Academy, let alone become the Jijiu.
.
"Hmph... That's just a coincidence of names. Just by you, how could it be a wine offering from the Painting and Calligraphy Academy? I don't believe it!" Li Xin, who was originally pale, came back to his senses and quickly denied it. He couldn't accept this fact and couldn't accept it.
Want to believe this fact.
Moreover, he instinctively felt that Yunze was using his own name to make a fuss. How could he be a wine sacrificer at the Painting and Calligraphy Academy?
But as soon as Li Quan said these words, Yunze saw an official identity card in his hand. Generally, officials have official seals, but the calligraphy and painting academy also has an official identity card to prove their identity.
The moment they saw Yunze holding the official badge, the people around him froze again. Those who had mocked Yunze and promoted Li Quan just now were immediately filled with shame. They felt like they couldn't hold their heads up.
Li Quan, a top student in the calligraphy and painting academy, was so awesome that he opened and shut his mouth to say that he looked down on Yunze, but his little achievements were nothing compared to Yunze.
Li Quan looked at the official badge in Yunze's hand and felt his face was burning. He had swollen his face. Thinking about his proud look just now, he felt like a clown.
For a moment, he didn't know how to refute. Besides, Yunze's name was a coincidence, could he say it out loud?
"You...you..." He said for a long time, then sat down with a pale face, looking like a defeated rooster.
Yunze looked at Li Quan and mocked: "Do you still think you are worthy of looking down on me now? Do you still think you are worthy of competing with me?"
Speaking of this, Yunze's expression turned cold, and his voice sounded like paper as he said:
"Moreover, you opened and shut your mouth to let me compete with you, and you even used my fiancée as a bet with you. Who do you think you are! My fiancée is worthy of being used as a bet by you. Are you too embarrassed for yourself?
"
"If you really want to bet, I can make it happen for you. Why don't we make a bet on something else? Whoever loses, get out of here! When you see the other person in the future, call him teacher respectfully three times, how about that! You... dare
Bet?"
Luo Qingcen, who was on the side, heard that Yunze was unwilling to gamble and did not want to take her as a bet. Her heart suddenly felt sweet and her face was filled with happiness.
Those who originally thought that Yunze might be timid later realized that it was not that Yunze was afraid of gambling, but that he really didn't want to risk his woman.
When Marquis Jing'an and his son and two grandsons heard this, they nodded unconsciously. Yunze could protect Luo Qingcen in this way, so it was not in vain for them to choose him in the end. Several people were even more pleased with Yunze.
.
Now, Yunze Baqi made a bet with Li Quan, which made them feel excited. Especially the bet mentioned by Yunze also made them take a breath.
Compared with gambling with Luo Qingcen, if you lose, you will be laughed at. However, compared with having to crawl out of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion if you lose, this bet is a bit cruel. No matter who loses, he will definitely become a laughing stock in this capital.
.
Moreover, he is still the kind of laughingstock who has lost his face. He will never be able to hold his head up in front of the dignitaries in the capital. This is even more uncomfortable than killing that person.
Before everyone could think whether Li Quan dared to gamble or not, Yunze looked at Gao Ying who was looking at him with resentment on his face, and mocked: "Master Gao, do you want to gamble too? It's okay.
To be continued...
