Chapter 62 Who Is Really Stupid

In the corridor on the first floor of Zuixiao Tower, Ye Chu silently watched Shen Ziyan with a proud and warm expression, but the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

In fact, when planning this opening event at the very beginning, Ye Chu already knew that just relying on those lucky draws, lantern riddles and other games is not enough to maintain the prosperity and excitement like today for a long time. After all, no matter how novel something is, it takes a long time No, I don't feel it anymore.

Therefore, if you want to avoid the long-term prosperity and decline of Zuixiaolou, you must raise topics from time to time.

This is just like in Ye Yu's time, some celebrities secretly bought hot searches, headlines and so on.Only with more attention and more exposure can it continue to be popular!

In ancient times, scarves and whiteness did not exist. Therefore, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, literary battles among literati, especially the battles between talented and famous scholars, were definitely the hottest topic next to brothel affairs!

Originally, Ye Tong did not think of this method so quickly, but when he first saw Shen Ziyan and Qin Hong who came with bad intentions, he gradually came up with this idea.

In fact, the candidate he had his eyes on at the beginning was Qin Hong, because Ye Chu could feel that this person had a great opinion of him.And most importantly, he is from the Qin family!

But what surprised him in the end was that it was Shen Ziyan who stood up.That being the case, Ye Chu could only say sorry.

Of course, today is the opening day after all, if you agree to fight with Shen Ziyan today, it would be a waste of this opportunity.We must find a way to divert the days, and in order to maximize the benefits of Zuixiaolou, we must also arrange Wendou's location in Zuixiaolou!

Well, it is said that if there are beautiful women cheering on the scene, the atmosphere will be more enthusiastic.From this point of view, we will have to invite a few well-known Qing people.

But who will be the witness?

Thinking that he was not familiar with any of the 'Qinhuai Four Wonders and Eight Beauties', and the most terrible thing was that the only two acquaintances among them had offended him, Ye Yu wanted to cry but had no tears in his heart.

Ma Dan, what a coincidence!

Alas, it seems that I need to reconsider the gift of apologizing tomorrow.

At this time, if there were no outsiders by his side, Ye Chu really wanted to hug little Lolita and complain about it.

See, young master, is it easy for me to make money...

And Shen Ziyan on the opposite side, if he knew about Ye Chu's brief meeting, he had added so much inner drama to himself, I don't know how he would feel.

"Well, Mr. Xiao, I wonder what the rules are for literary fighting? This is my first time, so I'm not very clear." Ye You touched his nose in embarrassment and asked.

"Wen Dou is no different from poems and songs, a subset of the Book of Songs. Generally, there are two ways. One is that both sides of the Wen Dou will ask questions from it, and the other will answer until one of them fails to answer. And the other, It is to invite a respected elder to be a witness, and the witness will ask the question face to face, and if one party cannot answer or the answer is relatively imperfect, then he will lose." Xiao Yu took the trouble to explain one by one for Ye Chu.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought I was going to write a stereotyped essay on the spot." After hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, Ye Chu nodded and muttered.

"Hmph, I won't bully you, so I'll give you the right to choose." Shen Ziyan sneered at Ye Yu like giving alms, and mocked, "Did you see that? That's called self-confidence!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps upstairs.At the same time, a loud laugh followed.

"Haha, Mr. Shen really deserves to be a role model for us Jinling scholars, and he has the bearing of Mr. Wen back then."

During the conversation, Ye Yu and the others saw a group of people walking down the stairs, and the one who walked in the front was the young master of Tianxiang Tower, Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng looked at Shen Ziyan with admiration, cupped his hands, and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Shen to come too. Oh, and Mr. Xiao and Mr. Jia."

"Hehe, you can't talk nonsense. I don't dare to compare with Wen Gong." Although Shen Ziyan pretended to be a little angry, there was joy in his eyes.

Xiao Yu, on the other hand, nodded slightly towards Liu Zheng and the people behind him, as a greeting.

As for Jia Xian, he just glanced at those people coldly, and didn't intend to say hello at all.

"Master Shen is right, what he said is right. Hehe." Liu Zheng also quickly apologized.

Two dramatists!

Seeing the two people's hypocritical looks, Ye You secretly curled his lips.

"Ye You, I wonder if you have made your choice. I hope you won't waste my time." Shen Ziyan once again focused his attention on Ye You and said proudly.

"Hehe, Young Master Ye really has the guts to fight with Mr. Shen. I'm afraid you don't know that Shao Xun, the young master of the Shao family, was once defeated by Mr. Shen. I advise you to admit defeat directly. Anyway, not many people know about it. Otherwise, if we lose at that time, I’m afraid Brother Ye’s Zuixiaolou will be lost.”

Seeing that Ye Chu hadn't expressed anything yet, Liu Zheng couldn't wait to persuade him to surrender.That tone sounded like she was thinking about Ye Chu again.But the deep meaning implied in it made the few people behind them puzzled.

It's not because they didn't have good news, but it's because Liu Zheng was afraid that people would say that he used his power to blackmail Ye's restaurant, so he never mentioned it to outsiders.After all, making a fortune in silence is the truth.

Hmph, I really thought my brother was stupid in reading.If you really want to admit defeat, I am afraid that by tonight, everyone in Jinling will know about it.

After hearing Liu Zheng's earnest words, Ye Chu looked at Liu Zheng's performance alone as if he was watching a fool.

"Master Shen should choose first." Ye Chu kicked the ball back again.

It wasn't that he was being polite or embarrassed.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't really make much difference which one to him.It's just that he knows that he can definitely win, and he doesn't want to keep talking because of this reason.He is confident that he can crush Shen Ziyan in knowledge, but in terms of shamelessness, he really dare not compete with the ancient literati.

Of course, the most important point is that Ye Chu has already thought of a reason to postpone Wen Dou, so he can't do that.Once you speak first, you will lose the right to speak later.I can't let you take advantage of everything all by yourself.

"Both of you are my friends. Since you are both giving in to each other, why don't you let me choose one." Seeing the two rejecting each other, Xiao Yu stood up and said.

"Alright!"

"Casual!"

Seeing that the two agreed, Xiao Yu cleared his throat and said solemnly: "The first method is generally regarded as a private fight, and there is no strict requirement for a third party to come forward. And although it seems absolutely fair, but In fact, there are too many loopholes that can be exploited, and such examples can be found everywhere in the past. There were even some uncommon questions deliberately chosen by both parties to ask questions, which has deviated from the meaning of literary struggle. Therefore, I choose the second one for you. Find a more official method of fighting. Do you have any objections?"

After a pause, Xiao Yu continued: "Since you all agree, as long as you invite a more authoritative elder, Wendou can start to take effect."

"The literary battle with Young Master Shen must not be too hasty. I feel that it is necessary to make all preparations, otherwise, even if Young Master Shen wins, I am afraid that someone will not accept it." Liu Zheng glanced at Ye Yu, seemingly refers to.

And the few people who came down with Liu Zheng also nodded in praise, saying that Liu Zheng was thoughtful.

Oh, you even stole my lines.Don't say it, it's just too damn appropriate for you to say this.

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Ye Chu smiled dumbly in his heart.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, it's really inappropriate for Zuixiaolou to open today. Besides, it's not easy to invite an elder who is convinced by both parties. Since In this case, the Wendou will be postponed. But for the sake of fairness, one of you chooses the time and place of the Wendou, and the other chooses the witnesses. How about it?"

"This time, Mr. Shen, let's choose first." As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Ye Chu spoke first.

Shen Ziyan's eyelids twitched, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he snorted coldly and said, "You choose first. I don't care."

"Okay! Mr. Shen is really quick to speak. If that's the case, then I will not be polite."

Um?What's the situation, why don't you play the cards according to the routine?What about three points of courtesy between the agreed literati?

Seeing that Ye Chu had already made a choice with joy almost as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ziyan was stunned by that exaggerated expression, and he couldn't react for a long time.

After a long time, Shen Ziyan asked in a deep voice, "Which one to choose?"

"Well, this...let me think about it." Ye Yu deliberately pondered for a while, and when he saw the nervousness and impatience on Shen Ziyan's face became more and more intense, he smiled slightly, "I will choose time and location."

call.

When he heard that Ye Chu had chosen the time and place with the weakest influence, Shen Ziyan was relieved, but couldn't help but curse.

this fool.

As long as you are a sensible person, you will know that witnesses are the key, and time and place matter.Could it be that if you change the time and place, you can be instantly possessed by Wenquxing?Ridiculous.

Similarly, after hearing Ye Chu's unexpected choice, the others couldn't help cursing inwardly, you're mentally retarded.

Different from the expressions of the people around, Xiao Yu looked at Ye Chu with some surprise.His intuition told him that Ye Chu probably did this on purpose.As for the reason, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Then please tell Brother Shen and Brother Ye about the specific situation."

"I will ask Jinling Tongzhi Master Yang to be a witness." Shen Ziyan said.As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Chu without any trace.

Hey, it is said that Mr. Yang has some relationship with the Shen family, and many people know about it.Mr. Shen actually chose him as a witness, isn't it a bit too...

After hearing Shen Ziyan's words, the few scholars who came down with Liu Zheng looked at each other, and everything was kept silent.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Ye Chu looked indifferent.I saw a happy smile on his face.

"Then choose Zuixiao Tower to hold it. The time, after the Ching Ming Festival."

At the same time, I secretly said in my heart, hehe, then you will know who is really stupid!
