Jiangnan had been prosperous since ancient times.
Most of the literati and poets came from Jiangnan.
In history, most of the top scorers, second-place scorers, and top-scorers of each dynasty and generation came from Jiangnan.
It was precisely because Jiangnan's literary style flourished that the standards of scholars here were generally higher than other places.
It was not easy for scholars to become famous among the Jiangnan scholars when they were strong.
Although Mu Wenfu was only one of the four great scholars in Jiangnan, his literary talent and knowledge were much better than the top scholars in other places such as Guangdong, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Shanxi.
Even though Mu Wenfu did not want to admit defeat out of his dignity as one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan, he was still unwilling to admit defeat.
However, after taking three consecutive steps, he had no clue about the seven-character quatrain about "protecting the country".
He could feel the astonished gazes of everyone in Spring Breeze Yard gathered on him.
Under such immense pressure, Mu Wenfu couldn't even memorize poems, let alone compose them…
After a dozen seconds, Mu Wenfu still couldn't come up with any poems. His face was flushed red, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"You lost."
He Kun calmly looked at Mu Wenfu, who had taken three steps forward and was frozen in place with a flushed face.
"I…"
Hearing He Kun's words, Mu Wenfu hurriedly lowered his head, feeling even more ashamed.
He really didn't expect that he would lose the competition that he thought he would win.
What was even more unbearable was that the person who defeated him was just an ordinary High Scholar that he had never heard of before.
If the one who defeated him was a scholar who was equally famous as him, it would still be acceptable.
After all, there were victories and defeats in the sparring of poetry and literature gatherings. It was not embarrassing to lose one or two rounds to other scholars.
"Ah!"
Under such immense pressure, Mu Wenfu finally could not take it anymore.
He felt that he was too ashamed to continue staying here.
Then…
He couldn't help but run out of Spring Breeze Courtyard and disappear from everyone's sight.
After Mu Wenfu broke down and fled, the entire Spring Breeze Courtyard fell into a pin-drop silence.
After a while, the surrounding scholars and High Scholars woke up from their dreams."He…he escaped just like that?“
They really didn't expect that after Yu Minzhong and Zhuang Yougong, Mu Wenfu, one of the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan, would also lose to He Kun.
Not only that, but the way He Kun defeated Mu Wenfu was also so shocking.
What was even more unexpected was that after Mu Wenfu was defeated by He Kun, his heart was so fragile. Before Chen Hongyan announced the results, he broke down and fled in front of everyone?
"Isn't this too amazing? He defeated three scholars in a row."
"He Kun is so powerful, why have I never heard of this name before?”
"Do you think He Kun is an alias used by other great scholars? It wasn't like there weren't other scholars who had done this before.”
"I don't know if He Kun is an alias used by other great scholars, but I know that from tomorrow onwards, another great scholar will be born in the entire Phoenix Feather.”
Soon after, Spring Breeze Courtyard fell into an incomparably lively clamor. The topic of discussion was almost all about He Kun.
However, compared to the group attack when He Kun opened his mouth at the beginning, almost all of them were praising and exclaiming.
"He actually lost!"
Yu Minzhong and Zhuang Yougong, who were sitting in the crowd, woke up from their shock. They smiled bitterly at the same time. They had originally planned to let Mu Wenfu defeat He Kun and avenge them.
Who knew that even Mu Wenfu would lose to He Kun?
Almost all the scholars and juren sitting around him were praising, exclaiming, complimenting, and praising Kun.
They couldn't help but lower their bodies, almost sticking their heads to the table, afraid that others would notice them.
"He Kun won."
Chen Hongyan, who was sitting behind the white curtains, saw that Mu Wenfu, one of the Four Great Scholars of Jiangnan, had actually fled after losing the competition with He Kun. A smile appeared on Chen Hongyan's face, and she couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Although she had already guessed that it was impossible for Mu Wenfu to complete the "three steps to compose a poem" and "continuous poem", when she saw Mu Wenfu running away in front of everyone, her heart finally relaxed.
While she was happy that He Kun had won this match, Chen Hongyan was also filled with disdain for Mu Wenfu's emotional breakdown and his act of running away after being defeated.
One could imagine that when this matter spread out tomorrow, Mu Wen's reputation as one of the Four Great Scholars of Jiangnan would definitely plummet.
Even if he failed the competition, admitting defeat in front of everyone would definitely be much more gentlemanly than Mu Wenfu, who could not accept his defeat and fled.
"The four poems that Young Master He Kun wrote just now, the seven character quatrains related to 'protecting the country' are all considered top-notch, and two of them are even famous poems. Therefore, I have decided that the winner of tonight's third test will be Young Master He Kun.”
While everyone was exclaiming and praising, Chen Hongyan's voice announced the winner of tonight's third question.
After saying that, Chen Hongyan left with her maid.
The white curtains were removed, and the beautiful woman's fragrance was gone.
The half-aged Hua Niang, who had just welcomed He Kun, walked to the place where Chen Hongyan had been standing. She smiled and said to the people who were sitting again,
"Alright, Miss Chen Hongyan's poetry recital is over. Those who haven't had the chance to interact with Miss Chen Hongyan, don't worry. We have a lot of beautiful girls in Spring Breeze Courtyard. You can choose whatever you want. Even if you choose two or three tonight, it won't be a problem.”
After appeasing the other scholars and scholars, Hua Niang walked to He Kun and smiled."Congratulations, Young Master He Kun. You have won three rounds in a row and obtained the opportunity to chat with Miss Chen Hongyan at night.”
"Will I have supper with you?" He Kun asked.”
"Supper?" Hua Niang was stunned by He Kun's question.# Date:09 7 2019 12:30PM
