Lord Shangguan read aloud:
"Hahaha, good poems, good poems! What a willingness to take care of a madman! Patriarch Yuan Hong, although this Yuan Shuting is a woman, her couplets and poems are full of masculine pride. You should cultivate her more!"
This was originally a poem Yuan Hong discarded, because she felt that Yuan Shuting's writing was too crazy, and the city lord would definitely not like it, so she chose the more secure "Qiupu Song" by Yuan Shuyi. ...
City Lord Shangguan laughed, "Patriarch Yuan Hong, it's a pity that you didn't submit this poem for the competition! The rule is that only one poem can be entered, so the city owner can only bear the pain and give up!"
Yuan Hong felt pain in his heart, but it was useless. "Thank you, Lord Shangguan, for your reminder. I will definitely nurture the two sisters, Shu Yi and Shu Ting, carefully!"
Behind Yuan Hong, Yuan Shuting, who had a drooping face, suddenly became happy. She was naturally very happy to be appreciated by the Lord Shangguan.
But Yuan Shuyi, who was originally very happy, frowned secretly. It seems that as long as there is a sister, her light will always be covered by the light of the sister, alas...
That's right, it is "Shui Tiao Ge Tou? When Will the Bright Moon Come?" written by Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wu Geng has been vacillating between "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" and "Watching the Moon Huai Yuan".
In the end, I chose the "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" "When will the bright moon come? Ask the wine to the blue sky". It is really well written by Su Dongpo!
The Lord Shangguan finished reading it in one breath, and everyone fell into silence, silently thinking about the scene and artistic conception in this poem, and there was no sound for a while.
I don't know who took the lead in clapping, and then everyone started clapping.
Lord Shangguan said loudly, "What do you think of this poem?"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Everyone shouted in unison, the momentum is amazing!
Lord Shangguan said, "Just as everyone guessed, the author of this poem is the most outstanding performer at this Mid-Autumn festival, the owner of Xingyun Villa, Wu Geng!"
Everyone rejoiced again, ".〃Master Wu! Master Wu! Master Wu!"
With such kindness, Wu Geng was too embarrassed to sit all the time, so he stood up and clasped his fists to thank everyone!
Lord Shangguan signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "I don't think I need to say more about Wu Geng's talent. Do you have any objections to being selected as the No. 1 poem in this song "Water Tune Getou?"
"no comment!"
"Wu Geng deserves the first place!"
"Wu Geng is number one, everyone expects it!"
The Lord of Shangguan laughed loudly and said, "Okay! I announce that this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, Wu Geng's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" won the first place, Ma's Ma Yanru's "Moon to Mid-Autumn Festival" came second, Liu's Liu Chunmao's "Mid-Autumn Moon" came third, Yuan Yuan Shuyi's "Qiupu Song" comes fourth, and Wang Jia's Wang Fuhai's "Watching the Moon" comes in fifth."
All the big families rejoiced when they heard the rankings, but only Patriarch Yuan Hong had a gloomy face. It was clear that the Patriarch Shangguan liked Yuan Shuting's poem more, but he just replaced Yuan Shuting's poem (Wang Liao Zhao) with Yuan Shuyi's , or at least get second place.
Lord Shangguan handed the poem to General He Yiwu, and General He continued to preside, "No.1, reward a 300-year-old Snow Ganoderma lucidum! No.2, reward a 200-year-old ginseng. No.3, reward a 100-year-old Polygonum multiflorum No. 4, reward a 50-year-old Seven Star Begonia. No. 5, reward a 30-year-old purple cranberry."
The five people came to the stage in order to receive the award, which is an award for an independent project.
Ma Yanru from the Ma family won No.2 and received a 200-year-old ginseng.
Yuan Shuyi of the Yuan family, No.4, received a 50-year-old Seven Star Begonia.
Just as Yuan Shuyi was holding the Seven Star Begonia and walked past the Ma's seat, Ma Baoguo deliberately raised his voice and said, "Oh, what kind of high-end baby is this Yuan family child holding in his hand? Is my eyesight not too good?" See clearly, Yanru, tell grandpa what you saw?".
Chapter 244
Ma Yanru knew that her grandfather was trying to anger the Yuan family, so she taunted her, "Grandpa, what the daughter of the Yuan family got was a 50-year-old Seven Star Begonia, which is the No.4 reward!"
When talking about 50 years and No.4, Ma Yanru deliberately emphasized the tone.
What is this if it is not sarcasm?
Patriarch Yuan Hong gritted his teeth angrily, but he couldn't attack!Who made their Yuan family not live up to expectations and lost the game?
General He Yiwu stood on the high platform and directly announced, "After four competitions, the owner of Xingyun Villa, Wu Geng, won the first place in three major events, and the juvenile group of the martial arts competition is also the first place, so this year's Binjiang City Mid-Autumn Festival The owner of Wu Geng deserves the top spot in the event!"
"Top! Top! Top!"
"Major Wu Zhuang please come to the stage and accept the gold mining documents for a period of two years!"
General He Yiwu warned, "It's late today, and you can come to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow morning. The gold mining work is not trivial, and I will tell you the details tomorrow!"
Wu Geng nodded, and got off the competition platform.
The old man Ma Baoguo of the Ma family is old and smart, and he is still unwilling to give up the gold mine at this time, so he stands up and blocks Wu Geng's way.
Just listen to his kind words, "630 Master Wu, first of all, I congratulate you for winning the gold mining rights! But as far as I know, Master Wu seems to be a foreigner with no experience in gold mining, and my Ma family The last time I was in charge of gold mining work, I have a lot of experience, I don’t know if the owner of Wuzhuang is willing to contract the gold mining work to the old man? Let’s cooperate and win-win, how about it?”
Wu Geng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, this Ma Baoguo is really an old fox, why did he choose to join because he couldn't fight for it?
It's just that this gold mine is so big in total, which is equivalent to a piece of cake. Is Wu Geng crazy or a demon, doesn't it taste good to himself?Why give it to others?
Wu Geng laughed, "Thank you, Patriarch Ma, for your kindness! I have a hobby, that is, I am very interested in things that I have never done before. I have to do it myself for such a fun thing as mining gold mines! Please forgive me. I can't contract it to you!"
Ma Baoguo sighed, and returned to his seat, wondering what he was thinking?
There is also Patriarch Yuan Hong who has small thoughts in his heart, but Wu Geng injured Yuan Hong's son Yuan Xiongfei successively, and almost killed his nephew Yuan Langfei. Hey, how could he humbly beg Wu Geng to contract the gold mining work?
Yuan Hong stood up, gave Wu Geng a cold and sharp look, and left with his clansman angrily.
Ma Baoguo also led the tribe to leave, and the people left the martial arts competition field one after another.
The owner Song of the Jufu Building came to Wu Geng again, "Mr. Wu has surpassed all the heroes in art today, and he became famous as a young man. I'm afraid that after today, everyone in Binjiang City will know your name, Wu Geng! It's really gratifying! Hey!"
Wu Geng laughed and said, "It's just a fantasy world, don't worry about it! By the way, Mr. Song, I promised to invite Sister Douya to dinner. Is your Jufulou closed?"
"Hahaha!" Song Louzhu laughed loudly, "Don't say that the Jufu Building is not closed yet, even if it is closed, and Mr. Wu is here in person, I have to call all the staff to open the door to welcome Mr. Wu! Come on, we will go to the gathering now Fu Lou, congratulate Mr. Wu!"
The three of them happily came to Jufu Building, and the landlord Song hosted a banquet in the Yage Pavilion on the seventh floor.
"Sister Douya, I really want to thank you for buying Xingyun Villa for me this time, so that I have the opportunity to participate! Just order whatever you want, I will invite you today!" Wu Geng said happily, his gratitude to Douya was beyond words !
Bean Sprout finally changed her stern bitter face, "You said it, I want eight-treasure duck, pork knuckle, Sixi lotus leaf chicken, squirrel mandarin fish, braised bear paw, steamed velvet antler, sauced rice sauce Duck, crab roe crispy rice, plain okra, chicken stewed with mushrooms, sizzling fat sausage, beggar chicken, red bean and lotus soup, duck in rice sauce..."
"Sister, you want two servings of rice sauce duck?"
"One serving is not enough! Duck in sauce and rice sauce, stewed assorted dishes, rice noodle meat, brine elbow flowers, stewed lotus seeds in sugar, wing soup, fried liver tips, bucket chicken..."
"..."
Not long after, all kinds of dishes were served, and there were actually three tables full. Bean sprouts were devoured, and the mouth was full of oil, and the lips and teeth were fragrant. They didn't look like a woman should be.
Wu Geng sighed, "There are so many delicious foods, I should call the senior farmer..."
Song Louzhu hurriedly said, "This matter is my negligence, I will send someone to invite it immediately!"
Bean Sprouts was tearing a big pork knuckle in his mouth, and muttered, "No need, no need. The old man doesn't like this kind of scene, he just likes to eat edamame, and I'll just eat it for him if it's delicious!"
"..." Wu Geng was speechless again. Who are these people in Tianyuan? Fortunately, winter melon is not here today, otherwise it might be even more wonderful than bean sprouts!
"Haha, good! Then Miss Bean Sprouts, eat more!" Song Lou laughed.
Then, in a blink of an eye, they intertwined with Wu Geng, "Young Master Wu, last time you wrote couplets for Xiaohu's Jufulou, look how ugly the big pillars outside my door are, can you give it to me if you can't do it?" Write a couplet?"
Wu Geng was happy, and he responded with one gulp.
Song Louzhu ordered someone to move a table, and Wu Geng dipped ink on it and swiped.
After the couplets were written, the room was full of golden light, as if countless gold ingots were shining in the world. Maybe because of being in the house, the landlord Song even felt that it was more dazzling than the "golden mountains and silver trees" seen in the martial arts school.
Not only is there golden light, the owner Song really felt the wealth contained in this couplet, the feeling of being surrounded by jewels and treasures, it's so good!
Wu Geng said, "When the ink is dry, you can have someone cut it out with scissors and paste it on the pillars outside the building, and then call a woodcarver to carve out the characters according to the words, and then paint them with Zhu sand. With the blessing of this couplet, the business of Jufulou will definitely get better and better, and the nodules will rise!"
"Okay! Okay! Master Wu did not hesitate to give me a word, and Mr. Song is very grateful! This is a black card for Jufulou, and you keep it. Since you are not willing to agree to be the owner of Jufulou in Luwangcheng, I will no longer accept it." Reluctantly, it's just that I sincerely want to befriend Master Wu, and with this black card, even if you go to Jufulou in the Imperial City of Tianfeng Kingdom, you won't be charged for food!"
Master Song took out a black card and handed it to Wu Geng. This was the best way he could think of to make friends with Wu Geng!
Jufulou black card means super VIP. With the black card in hand, one can eat for free in any Jufulou. To be honest, it is no different from the emperor coming in and out!
Wu Geng wanted to decline, but he was snatched away by the oily bean sprouts, "Wu Geng is a good face, I will accept this card for him first, thank you, Mr. Song! It smells so good!".
Chapter 245 People are scary, they will scare people to death
Wu Geng was speechless, and the owner Song laughed!
The three servings of duck in sauce and rice sauce are still on the table. I don’t know where the aroma in the mouth of the bean sprouts comes from?
Wu Geng could only smile wryly. It was not his intention to buy a house. Who knows why Douya bought such a ghost house?
But Bean Sprout said unhappily, "I'm not afraid of ghosts even as a woman, what's so scary about big men?"
Ignoring Wu Geng, Dou Sprout went straight out of Jufulou and left on her own.
"Sister Douya, wait for me!" Wu Geng hurriedly chased him out, who knows what he will encounter in Binjiang City at midnight, it is always good to have a master like Douya by his side.
Song Louzhu shook his head and smiled wryly, "It seems that this time the old farmer can only take advantage of it..."
Soon, Wu Geng caught up with Bean Sprouts. It wasn't that Wu Geng had good footwork, but that Bean Sprouts had eaten too much in Jufulou, so he had to stop for a while after walking a short distance.
"Sister Douya, it's so late, you don't have to go back to the countryside today, right? How about going to Xingyun Villa with me?" Wu Geng asked with a smile, and he was really worried in his heart. Who knew that ghost baby boy and female ghost Also~ will it appear?
Bean Sprout said angrily, "You don't learn well at such a young age, you only think about messy dirty things. Tell me to go to Xingyun Villa, what the hell are you trying to do?"
Wu Geng said aggrievedly, "What the hell can I do? It's not too late, isn't it safe for you to go back to the countryside alone? Kindly treat it like a donkey's liver and lungs-..."
"Cut! Do you think rural people are not safe in Binjiang City? To be honest, did you drink some horse urine and get confused, and you want to take advantage of the alcohol to lure me to Xingyun Villa for what?" Bean Sprout With angry eyes wide open, he asked with a murderous look.
Wu Geng felt a chill in his heart when he saw it, "Look at what you said, you are my sister, no, what else can I do to you? Besides, I am a scholar, and we can't do things that insult gentlemen! Then you If you don’t go, just pull it down, then I’ll take you back to the countryside!”
Wu Geng had already thought about it, he would follow wherever the bean sprouts were tonight.Let's talk about it after tonight, and he will deal with the haunting thoroughly after dawn.
But Bean Sprout let out a chuckle, and his usually fierce and indifferent face suddenly became smiling like a flower, quite charming.
"Look at your potential! I knew you were afraid of ghosts and dared not go back to Xingyun Villa by yourself, and you wanted to take me with you! I won't go, you can go back by yourself. If you dare to follow me, I will interrupt Your leg!"
Being punctured by someone's true inner thoughts, Wu Geng could only laugh, "I went in early last night, and later wrote scriptures to prevent ghosts. Now I really dare not go in at this point, who knows those ghosts Where is the baby hiding and waiting to eat me? Sister Bean Sprout, just because I treat you to three servings of duck with sauce and rice sauce, come with me!"
"I didn't eat the duck with rice sauce! What's the point?"
"Then you ordered it if you didn't eat it! You don't think you are afraid of that female ghost, do you?"
"Fart! I can kill her with one finger!"
"Then why don't you go? Do you think you are not as pretty as a female ghost?"
"Damn! My sister really doesn't care about being pretty or not. If you don't provoke me, why don't you go? You coward!"
"If you don't go, you won't go! I'll go back by myself, hum!"
Wu Geng walked to Xingyun Mountain Villa by himself, he had already thought about it, at worst, he would silently recite the scriptures of the "Heart Sutra" as soon as he entered the door, he would not believe it, the ghost dared to approach him.
In the silver light, a manor appeared in front of him, with the words "Xingyun Villa" written on it impressively.
Wu Geng took out the key and opened the door, and walked in directly.
"Relic, emptiness is not different from form, form is not different from emptiness..." Wu Geng began to chant the moment he entered the door.
But when he closed the gate of the villa with his back on his back, just as he turned around, a man suddenly hung upside down from the eaves of the gate, his hair was disheveled, and he couldn't see any features clearly, and suddenly almost hit Wu Geng's face directly.
"Ah!" Wu Geng jumped up in fright, and then the man disappeared up the porch like a ghost.
Wu Geng was sweating profusely, covering his small chest with his hands and jumping non-stop!
Suddenly, hahaha laughter came from the eaves of the corridor, but this voice was very familiar to Wu Geng's ears.
"Sister Bean Sprout, you are too bad! You even pretended to be a ghost to scare me! Do you know that people are scary and can scare people to death?" Wu Geng was angry and speechless. The moment Bean Sprout hung upside down, it was really a mess. The head hit his face, it was really frightening!
The people on the corridor eaves leaped down, their hair was tied up, and they were dressed in black clothes, who wasn't bean sprouts?
· · · Flowers · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·
"Tsk tsk tsk! How can you say that you are also the top of the list at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you peed your pants after being frightened by ghosts! I really admire you!" Bean Sprout deliberately mocked.
"Who~ who peed your pants? I just pretended to be scared by you, so that you can get the satisfaction of successfully pretending to be a ghost! I already knew you were secretly following me..."
"Don't talk so much with you, go, follow me to the back garden!"
Seeing Bean Sprout's face turn cold suddenly, Wu Geng didn't dare to joke anymore, and obediently followed Bean Sprout to the back garden.
At the north and south corners of the garden, there is a half-dead, half-dry plum tree!
As soon as he got close to the plum tree, Wu Geng felt a very unique feeling.Wu Geng couldn't describe that feeling himself, but Wu Geng couldn't help but shiver!
…………
"You see that the water and grass are luxuriant everywhere in this garden. Why is the plum tree in the north and south corners not only not growing well, but also looking sick and dying?" Bean Sprout pointed to the plum tree and asked.
"Maybe this plum tree is old, maybe it's already old! It's fine if it's dry and dead..." Wu Geng replied casually.
