Did Shihan need him to redeem her?
The answer was obvious.
That day, in order to ask for her to meet him, how many disciples of the aristocratic families had waited outside? To them, ten thousand taels was not an astronomical figure.
Then why did she want him to redeem her? Was it because she admired his talent? Or did she take a fancy to his character?
It probably wasn't that simple.
Jia Jun never belittled himself, but he was also not blindly arrogant. Perhaps Shihan had some good feelings for him, but it was definitely not to the point where she would devote herself to him.
In addition, this 10,000 taels of silver was too much of a coincidence. A few days ago, he had just taken out 10,000 taels of silver to redeem Xiren, and Shihan wanted him to use 10,000 taels of silver to redeem her. This was probably because she was sure that he had 10,000 taels of silver.
More importantly, Jia Jun did not receive any Emotional Value from the system, even when she looked very happy on the surface. This meant that she was not happy at all.
She deliberately arranged for him to meet her, then let him see her appearance, and then proposed to use ten thousand taels of silver to redeem her. This was a chain of steps, tempting him to redeem her.
What was she trying to do?
Carrying heavy questions, Jia Jun came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The pavilion in the middle of the lake was called a pavilion, but it was actually a small island in the middle of the lake.
At this moment, there were quite a number of people on the island. They gathered in twos and threes, reciting poems and writing Fu, talking about the past and the present. They were all scholars. During this time, the maids were constantly shuttling back and forth, serving delicious wine and snacks, making it seem very lively.
Jia Jun smiled when he saw this. This was a bit like a self-service cocktail party in the future.
His arrival attracted everyone's attention. With his outstanding looks, he was the center of attention no matter where he went.
"Who is this person? How did you become so handsome?"
"Brother Li, haven't you heard of the phrase 'if life is as good as it is when we first met?”
"What? Are you saying that he is Jia Jun?"
"That's right, it's him."
"Brother Wang, this Jia Jun is here too. Do you think there's any suspense about the champion of this literary gathering?”
"Heh, what's the suspense? It was just a bastard son who occasionally wrote a brilliant poem. How could he compare to a flower man?”
"That's true. Tanhua Lang is truly talented and has been praised by His Majesty.”
……
Everyone's words fell into Jia Jun's ears. He did not care. Compared to these rumors, he cared more about how much Emotional Value he could gain.
As the Mulan Ci and the assault incident had fermented over the past few days, his Emotional Value had slowly approached the 20,000 mark. If everything went smoothly, he would be able to break through 20,000 after tonight.
He walked around the island in the middle of the lake and found that everyone was at the edge of the island. The pavilion in the center was not open yet.
After waiting for a while, the crowd suddenly burst out in surprise."Look, Tanhua Lang is here."
Jia Jun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man dressed in luxurious clothes walking onto the island surrounded by a crowd.
He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and he was quite handsome. He was full of smiles as everyone complimented him.
After dealing with the crowd for a while, he suddenly saw Jia Jun in the crowd.
That person stopped smiling and came in front of Jia Jun, asking him,""You are that Jia Jun?"
Such strong hostility.
Jia Jun raised his eyebrows and asked,"You're that flower man?"”
When he asked this question, the people around that person immediately jumped up and reprimanded him with words such as "impudent","bold", and "rude".
Jia Jun completely ignored those clowns and only looked at that person.
"At such a young age, he is so arrogant after receiving a good poem. No wonder the Jia family is so declining.”That person glanced at Jia Jun, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Jia Jun looked at his back and narrowed his eyes. This guy seemed to have a lot of opinions about him. When did he offend him?
"Brother Jia, you've met your match this time.”A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Young Master Wen?" Jia Jun's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly turned his head to see Ning Wen standing beside him.
"Why are you here? Aren't you afraid that your fiancée will be angry with you again?" Jia Jun laughed.
Hearing Jia Jun's words, Ning Wen widened his eyes.""I am a prince, how can I be afraid of a woman?”
As he spoke, he chuckled." I'm not here to participate in the cultural gathering this time. I'm only here as a witness under orders."”
"Witnessing?" Jia Jun was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Ning Wen whispered to Jia Jun. Didn't Yongning tell you that you're here for the cultural gathering? That flower boy Jiang Ziyang had once declared that he would ask the emperor for Yongning after he won the first place in the Mid-Autumn cultural gathering. The Empress Dowager sent me here to witness if Jiang Ziyang can win the title of the head of the literary association with his true talent.”
What was that?
Jia Jun's eyes widened when he heard this. No wonder Yongning offered such a huge price, wanting him to get first place in this Mid-Autumn Festival literary meet. So this was the real reason. No wonder she refused to come to the Mid-Autumn Festival cultural gathering and ran away halfway. It turned out that this cultural gathering was related to her marriage.
Ning Wen glanced at Jia Jun and chuckled.""Brother Jia, you have to be careful. When Jiang Ziyang found out that Yongning has been playing with you recently, he probably hates you very much. If you lose to him, I'm afraid you'll be humiliated by him.”
The corners of Jia Jun's mouth curled up slightly when he heard this. No wonder he was so hostile towards him. It was actually because he treated him as a love rival.
However, you want to defeat me? Just him?
