Hou Chang's expression was extremely ugly.
He originally wanted to use a lot of money to smash open the door of the Cui residence, but who knew that once Xiao Fan made a move, the gift would simply crush him crazily.
Fortunately, he didn't embarrass himself in front of Cui Ning. He was so depressed that he swore to show his face at the poetry solitaire later.
Han Lingying was also very happy, especially when she saw Hou Chang's face.
She was now treated as an important guest by Madam Cui. Although they were very different in age, they seemed to be old friends who had known each other for years.
Mrs. Cui even pulled Han Lingying to talk about her family.
"Hou gongzi, are all the members of the Poetry Society here?”
A light figure walked over on the wind, and her words were full of temptation.
Xiao Fan saw a woman as white as a lotus leaping in front of him.
"Jinshi Hou Chang greets Miss Cui. Hou Chang greets you.”Hou Chang folded his fan and spoke appropriately.
"Young Master Hou, you don't have to be so polite. I haven't congratulated you for your high school, but you've given us Lantian people a good reputation.”
Hou Chang waved his fan and smiled shyly."I'm a meager scholar, not worth mentioning."
F * ck! Pretending! He was really good at pretending!
At this moment, Cui Ning slowly looked at Xiao Fan as if she had caught a glimpse of him, and then she quickly pulled away.
Xiao Fan was surprised. Why was this little girl looking at him with such a strange gaze? He seemed to be a little resentful?
"Meet at the Poetry Club? Same old rules?" Hou Chang laughed.”
Cui Ning nodded and said,"Mr. Hou, please start with the rhyme."”
Hou Chang cupped his fists and said," Lantian suffered a flood a few days ago. I'm not talented, so I'll start with the flood. Everyone, listen up!"”
"The county magistrate is located in the east of the city."
"The flood is flooding the dike!"
"Soldiers are swarming-"
The few of them continued. At this moment, Hou Chang looked at Xiao Fan and smiled casually."I heard that Young Master Xiao is talented. Let Young Master Xiao finish this last sentence.”
Xiao Fan laughed until his stomach hurt.
These few idiot young masters and this idiot Jinshi had the cheek to show off with these few limericks?
"The tortoise is wandering around-"
Xiao Fan blurted out.
Limerick? Who didn't know how to do it?
When Hou Chang heard this, his expression turned ugly.
Who was he referring to when he said that the bastard was wandering around? Was he pointing fingers at the mulberry and scolding the locust?
"Which one of these bastards is Mister?”Hou Chang was furious. He directly cursed, and it was the first half of the couplet.
The atmosphere became tense.
"Shangque?" Xiao Fan asked with a smile.
"Please enlighten me?" Hou Chang asked.
Not far away, Han Lingying heard Hou Changzai scolding her husband and was instantly enraged.
"Madam Cui, although this person is a scholar, his words are too vulgar and vicious.”
"I heard that Xiao Fan is not good at this…Cough cough, I'm afraid Xiao County Nan is going to suffer." Madam Cui nodded and said worriedly.”
The Cui family also knew that Xiao Fan's knowledge was only so-so. Otherwise, he would not have failed the scientific examination.
Now that he had met Hou Chang, he was bound to suffer.
Even Cui Ning was faintly worried for Xiao Fan. She occasionally glanced at Xiao Fan to see how he would deal with it.
Xiao Fan said,"Do you really want to accept it?"
"Can it be connected?"
Xiao Fan smiled and said,"There are many serious matters in poetry, books, etiquette, spring and autumn. Why ask me?"”
Xiao Fan deliberately emphasized the last word,"Lao Zi", and pronounced "Lao" as the first word.
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Cui Ning even covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
He really did not expect that Hou Chang, who had been smugly scolding Xiao Fan, would be scolded back by Xiao Fan without using any vulgarities.
However, this couplet was beautifully matched and neat.
Hou Chang's face darkened.
This Xiao Fan? What was going on? Wasn't he unfamiliar with the Five Classics and the Four Books in the past? Why are you saying it now?
Immediately, someone from the Poetry Club stood up for Hou Gongzi and said,""Young Master Hou's first verse is so poetic, but your second verse is so vulgar.”
Xiao Fan sneered,"Oh, does the first half have an artistic conception? Bastard!"
"You're cursing!"
Xiao Fan smiled and said,"So you know that bastards scold people?"”
The man's face immediately turned red and he hurriedly slipped back into the crowd.
However, Xiao Fan did not want to let go of these scholars from the Bird Poetry Society.
What kind of bullsh * t scholars are they? They're here reciting poems and picking up girls every day. If not for the fact that their ancestors had some virtue, what the hell are these people?
Did he have the money to come here and have fun?
And this Hou Chang Jinshi, how could such a person get into the Jinshi? The Imperial Court was really blind!
Xiao Fan said seriously,
"Beacon fire shines on Xijing!"
"I feel indignant!"
"Teeth Zhang Farewell Phoenix Palace!"
"Iron Cavalry Circling Dragon City!"
"Dark Snow Withering Flag Painting!"
"The wind mixed with the drums!"
"I'd rather be a centurion!"
"Better than a scholar!"
Silence!
Absolute silence!
Everyone's gazes instantly turned to Xiao Fan!
The moment Xiao Fan's seven-character poem came out, it was like a heavy bomb that made people dizzy.
This was a hundred times more elegant and heroic than the so-called "county magistrate standing in the east of the city"!
"A good man's ambition is to rule the country! A good man's ambition was to recover the rivers and mountains. He was heroic and unyielding!”
Cui Ning clapped and looked at Xiao Fan with a dazed expression.
Then, thunderous applause erupted.
The Great Tang was at a critical moment in its war against Xue Yantuo.
If Xiao Fan's poem was spread out, who knew how many good men would be encouraged to join the army!
