Chapter 65 Asking for Advice
Wang Yu's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip with water. What Mo Qingkuang said was simply an analysis of his deepest hidden secrets of shame for everyone to see.
Who among the rich and powerful children of Kyoto doesn’t know how he became the number one scholar? In addition to fooling these outsiders, Wang Yu never dared to show off in front of acquaintances, which was simply humiliating himself.
At this moment, he actually regretted in his heart that he had gone to trouble Mo Qingkuang. He didn't know that this kid was so unscrupulous that he actually exposed his own flaws.
If everyone knows the inside story, how can I, Wang Yu, still hang out in Kyoto with a face like this? Even grandpa won't let him go easily.
Wang Yu had a dark face and looked at Mo Qingkuang gloomily: "Mo Qingkuang, are you looking for trouble?"
Mo Qingkuang was a little puzzled, and then said with a sincere expression: "Brother Wang, I am sincerely friends with you! Do you think I am here without a toast? I want you to show your face and make friends!"
It's a pity that his sincerity didn't impress Wang Yu. In Wang Yu's opinion, Mo Qingkuang was holding on to his pigtails with airs.
Make friends? Is this how you make friends?
Wang Yu gritted his teeth, carefully looked at the people around him, and whispered: "Don't be frivolous, stop talking. If we are sincere to each other, retreat now, and I will come to respect you later!"
He was still afraid. If Mo Qingkuang opened his mouth and recited his article, I guarantee that the biggest news in Kyoto tomorrow would be the origin of his literary champion.
The two experts who were drinking by themselves on the stage in the distance listened to everyone's comments and the conversation between Mo Qingkuang and Wang Yu.
"Hua Ge, you really don't care about anything? Do you let them do whatever they want?" Zheng Tao sent a message into the secret and asked angrily.
He has a rigorous personality and abhors blatant fraud and flattery.
Huage drank a glass of wine leisurely, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a chuckle: "I know, I'm returning the favor to Old Man Wang."
"How do you repay a favor with this? This is the level of promotion for the entire Tianxuan literati! You also came out of this way!" Zheng Tao said with anger in his tone.
"Does Lao Fu know?"
"I know! You don't know that you, the dean of the martial arts academy, are in charge of our liberal arts academy?" Huage disagreed.
"You - you are blatantly cheating and taking the lead in committing crimes. The reputation of the Imperial College will be ruined by you! Old Master, too, knows the importance and still follows you! No, I have to report to His Majesty and remove this champion!"
Seeing Zheng Tao getting up and about to leave, Hua Ge suddenly dodged and stopped in front of Zheng Tao. He smiled and persuaded: "Old brother, don't be impulsive. Just listen to me."
"Hmph, tell me carefully."
"Actually, just a few years ago, old man Guan Wang borrowed a painting and accidentally spilled it when he was drinking, and the painting was blurred. You know this." Hua Ge looked a little embarrassed. , whispered.
Zheng Tao glared at him: "I know drinking will cause trouble, but I drink too much!"
Hua Ge laughed and said, "Hey, you don't know, that thief old man Wang said it wasn't a good thing when he gave it to me. It doesn't matter if I take a look at it. When I broke it, he said it again." That painting is a family heirloom that has been passed down by his ancestors for eighteen generations. I am so bluffed that I owe him a favor. "
"You know what I'm like. I did something wrong and I'm in the wrong. Just accept the favor and ask him what he wants me to do on the spot."
"Hey, this old boy is good. He kept putting it off and said he would let me know when he thought of it. I've been waiting here and there for several years, but there has been no reply."
"I thought, if I delay it any longer, it won't be easy to repay. So I..."
Zheng Tao was speechless when he heard this: So you colluded with your subordinates to cheat and gave his grandson the entire top prize. Is this a return of favor?
Hua Ge nodded: "Well, that's it. If that old boy tries to use any favors against me again, I will prepare the masterpieces of his grandson. If he gives up here, I will also prepare for him the story of three generations of his family living together in the same dynasty. alright."
Seeing that Zheng Tao was a little excited after hearing this. Huage quickly pushed him down on the seat and filled a glass of wine with an apologetic smile: "Brother, we have hundreds of years of friendship, you can't mess around."
"If I don't say it, my disciple might tell it. He doesn't know that this is a favor from your flower director." Zheng Tao curled his lips and relaxed slightly.
Hua Ge looked over there again.
Mo Qingkuang was still holding the wine glass in his hand. Wang Yu and several people around him were looking at him angrily. The situation was already tense.
"Don't be frivolous, don't be shameless! Those of you who know the truth, get out of here, Mr. Wang!" A young man next to Wang Yu said angrily.
As a senior dude, what's the most important thing? face!
Mo Qingkuang was also a little unhappy at this moment. You asked me to toast you, and here I am. I wish you a confidant in the world of dandies, and a master who dares to make waves in the imperial examination!
But my arms are sore. Not only did you not stand up and clink glasses with me, you even said nasty words to me!
How have I, Young Master Mo of Tiannan City, ever suffered such grievances?
"Young Master Wang, look at my hands. Are you really not giving me face with this glass of wine?" Mo Qingkuang narrowed his eyes and said in a bad tone.
Who is shameless?
"Also, in my hometown, no dog dares to bark in front of me without my consent."
Wang Yu was furious when he heard this. Do you want to save face? Don't I want to lose face?
If you are a local emperor in your hometown, a small remote place on the border, naturally no one dares to mess with you. It's your fault for trying to show off your power to me, Mr. Wang.
Others may not know, but my grandfather is the prime minister of the current dynasty. It is not difficult for him to check your background.
Wang Yu secretly looked through Mo Qingkuang's files. He looked down on a playboy like Mo Qingkuang.
Wang Yu, after all, was a family of poets and scholars. He did not have great talent, but he was proficient in using the four treasures of the study.
This Mo Qingkuang had made several teachers sick, and drove away countless others.
"Mo Qingkuang, what do you want?" Wang Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down the anger in his chest.
There was no way, because he had some small braids in his hands?
Seeing Wang Yu in a dilemma, Hua Ge rolled his eyes and showed a strange smile.
"Old Zheng, do you want to watch the excitement?"
"What excitement? What kind of tricks do you want to do?" Zheng Tao immediately became alert.
This old brother beside him, martial arts talent, literary talent, poetry, appearance and figure, are all outstanding.
Only this temperament is too jumpy. As he gets older, it not only does not become more restrained, but becomes more exaggerated.
Hua Ge smiled mysteriously, and his lips moved slightly, obviously using the method of transmitting sound into secrets.
Wang Yu, who was not far away, was suddenly startled, and then showed a confident smile.
He picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Mo is the number one son of Tiannan City, and his literary talent must be extraordinary. We are destined to meet today, why don't you ask for advice?"
