Chapter 215: Another romantic luck!
Chapter 215: Another romantic luck!
With the help of this poem "The Goddess of Luo River", Li Changsheng successfully entered the Jiang family's Hero Building as the first in the literary test.
Moreover, he was admitted to the first class as an exception.
The three people I met in the inn before.
Du Qian, Xiong Kuohai, and Zhao Xiong also passed the assessment successfully.
However, they are all B grade.
Among them, Xiong Kuohai and Zhao Xiong passed the military test.
Du Qian relies on the special skills of his three hands.
When the three of them learned that Li Changsheng had won the first place in the literary examination and was praised by Master Meng, they all came to congratulate him.
He even had to drag Li Changsheng to Jiang's Restaurant to celebrate.
Li Changsheng couldn't refuse the kindness, so he went with them.
We went to the same restaurant as before.
Zhao Xiong, Xiong Kuohai and Du Qian even deliberately showed off in front of the waiter.
"Waiter, you just said we might not be able to enter the Hero Building. What should we say now?"
The waiter didn't dare to offend them anymore, so he quickly put on a smile and apologized.
"My dear heroes, I was blind to the truth before. I hope you will forgive my mistakes and don't take it to heart!"
However, Du Qian had the look of a smug villain, and he insisted on forcing the waiter to kowtow to him and apologize.
Li Changsheng couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stepped forward to stop it.
"Du Qian, you're going too far!"
Du Qian had experienced the power of this "Prodigal Yan Qing" before, so naturally he did not dare to confront him head-on.
"For Brother Yan Qing's sake, I won't argue with you. If you do it again, I'll dig out your dog eyes!"
Upon hearing this, the waiter felt relieved and thanked Li Changsheng repeatedly.
Li Changsheng said with a smile, "Brother Xiaoer, please bring out all the delicious food and wine in your restaurant. It's my treat today!"
Du Qian took over the conversation and said sarcastically, "Brother Yan Qing, you are quite good at borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha!"
Li Changsheng frowned slightly and asked, "Du Qian, what do you mean by this?"
Du Qian was a little afraid of the "Prodigal Yan Qing" in front of him. When he saw the other party's sharp eyes like a sword, he instinctively took a step back.
"Now that we've all passed the Heroes' Hall assessment, eating and drinking at this Jiang family restaurant is all free. No matter who's treating, there's no need to pay. Isn't this just borrowing flowers to pay for Buddha's offerings?"
When the waiter heard Du Qian teasing Li Changsheng, he boldly said, "It's actually different!"
Du Qian asked, "What's the difference?"
The waiter replied cautiously, "Young Master Yan is a Class A. Whether it's food, accommodation, or other services, they are a level higher than Class B!"
Du Qian was choked and was speechless on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was getting a little unpleasant, Zhao Xiong deliberately put on a stern face and scolded Du Qian.
"Du Qian, what are you doing? Do you think Brother Yan Qing has stolen your limelight?"
Du Qian was scolded like a bastard, with his head drooped and not daring to talk back.
Li Changsheng smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Alright, let's not let this ruin our relationship and affect our drinking pleasure!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiong agreed repeatedly and also praised Li Changsheng harshly.
"Brother Yanqing, I didn't expect you to be a literary star descended to earth. With just one piece of 'The Goddess of Luo River', you made those arrogant scholars bow down to you. You are truly amazing!"
"Come on, brother, let me toast you!"
Li Changsheng looked at the wine in the glass and felt inexplicably guilty.
Oh, if I had known this, I should have changed my pseudonym to Cao Zhi.
That way, you won’t feel unworthy!
After three rounds of drinks, Zhao Xiong acted very curious and asked, "Brother Yanqing, you have such amazing talent. Why don't you go to the court and seek an official position? Instead, you come to the Jiang family and become a retainer?"
Before Li Changsheng could respond, Xiong Kuohai interrupted him.
"Needless to say, Brother Yanqing must have come from a humble background, lacking a strong patronage, which is why he was overlooked. If he were from an aristocratic family, even if it was just a branch, he would have risen to prominence long ago. Why wait until today?"
Li Changsheng just smiled perfunctorily.
"Well, forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's continue drinking, drinking!"
Just as they were toasting each other, a slender figure walked in.
Li Changsheng glanced sideways and saw that it was Jiang Xiner, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
"Miss Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Xiner said, "Mr. Yan, my father wants you to come over!"
When Li Changsheng heard that it was Jiang Kuanglong who wanted to invite him over, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Miss, you could have just sent someone to look for me. Why did you come here in person?"
Jiang Xiner looked a little embarrassed and said, "I, I, I have nothing to do, so I came over to take a look!"
Li Changsheng picked up his wine glass again and said, "Everyone, I have to excuse myself for a moment!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Zhao Xiong, Xiong Kuohai and Du Qian were all envious and jealous of "Yan Qing".
Zhao Xiong jokingly said, "Yan Qing is truly a playboy. Looks like he's going to have romantic luck again!"
Du Qian said sourly, "Miss Jiang is of noble birth. The man she will marry in the future will definitely be a noble of equal status. How could she possibly marry a poor scholar?"
Zhao Xiong thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.
In today's world, background comes first.
For a scholar from a poor family to marry the daughter of a duke is harder than climbing to the sky.
……
Li Changsheng and Jiang Xiner had just walked out of the restaurant together.
I saw a dozen people walking towards me.
The leader among them was Jiang Xiner's cousin, Jia Kui.
Jia Kui has always liked his cousin Jiang Xiner, and even privately claimed that the two of them had already been engaged.
Now, in public, I saw my cousin talking and laughing with another man.
This made him feel inexplicably green on his head, and he instantly became furious.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and asked, "Xin'er, who is this?"
Jiang Xiner introduced: "Cousin, this is our Jiang family's guest, Yan Qing!"
"Yan Qing" wrote "The Goddess of Luo River", which had already spread like wildfire and reached every street and alley.
As a cousin of the Jiang family, Jia Kui naturally knew this.
He was surprised to see that this "Yan Qing" was so young, and asked doubtfully:
"Is it the 'Goddess of Luo River' that you wrote?"
Li Changsheng smiled and said, "Yes, it's me!"
Jia Kui squinted his eyes at Li Changsheng and asked with a stern look, "You don't look like someone who could write a masterpiece like 'The Goddess of Luo River'. Did you hire someone to write it for you?"
Li Changsheng saw that Jia Kui came with bad intentions and did not intend to indulge him, so he directly retorted.
"It seems that Master Jia likes to judge others by his own standards!"
Jia Kui was shocked to see that this poor scholar not only dared to touch his woman, but also dared to openly talk back to him.
This instantly made him furious, and he shouted, "What do you mean by that? Explain it to me clearly!"
Li Changsheng saw that he had only retorted with one sentence, but Jia Kui broke down in public, which made him unable to help but sneer.
"Haha, I've made my words very clear, literally!"
"Master Jia, you don't even understand the literal meaning, do you?"
Jia Kui's face turned ashen in an instant, and his fists clenched tightly, making a crackling sound.
It can be seen that he is extremely angry.
Some people who wanted to curry favor with Jia Kui saw that their chance to show off had come, so they started scolding Li Changsheng.
"You are so brave, do you know who you are talking to?"
