Chapter 90 Endless Death?
As the saying goes, a dog that bites people will not bark. Yang Fan was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Zhang's behavior, nor did he take it seriously, and drank tea comfortably.
However, what happened today was really a big blow to Xu Zhang.
As a young man with great talent and noble since childhood, he is now rubbed against the ground by a ignorant and much younger than himself.
Moreover, many of the people watching were his former defeated men, no wonder he was so angry.
Especially Yang Fan's words that make people angry, make him become more and more cowardly the more he thinks about it. What is "I want to defeat you in the field you are best at, so as not to let you cheat"? "This question is very simple to learn when a child's heart'...
These are simply a great humiliation, especially the final problem. Although it is simple, in Xu Zhang's opinion, it is even more naked teasing and digging, but what's even more nonsense is that he has even fallen into the trap.
Ashamed, anger, resentment... All kinds of emotions made Xu Zhang's mind hot, but he didn't reflect on the root cause. At this moment, seeing Yang Fan actually looked down on him, he became even more angry and furious.
In order to protect his almost completely stripped face and the slightest bit of self-esteem in the end, Xu Zhang gritted his teeth, his eyes flushed, and he roared like a mad dog: "How can you humiliate me like this? From now on, Xu and you are incompatible..."
I looked at Xu Zhang in surprise. This child was too irresistible to withstand the blow. Such things were just drizzling in later generations. Is it necessary to kill his father's enemy?
However, Yang Fan had a soft and not hard temper. Yu Guang glanced at Xu Jingzong, raised his eyebrows, and then replied fearlessly at Xu Zhang: "Can you understand that this is the Xu family challenging someone? I will never die in the future? Can you represent the Xu family?"
What Xu Zhang couldn't stand the most was Yang Fan's arrogance and contempt, so he said angrily: "Of course, Xu just wants to do it with you..."
"Da Lang, don't speak nonsense!"
Xu Jingzong was shocked and quickly got up and drank Xu Zhang, blocking the half of his words that he had not yet said.
What a joke, is it crazy or stupid, how can you bet on the fate of the family on such an occasion?
Even if you want to take revenge, you can only do it in secret. How can such a thing be put on the surface?
I thought my son was smart and witty and would be able to carry forward his family in the future. Could it be that my vision was wrong?
This is just a naughty man. Compared with Yang Fan, who is a few years younger, it is really a big difference.
Besides, what do you think this stick would be as jealous as others?
This guy even dares to beat His Highness King Jin. If he jumped out impatiently, he would definitely dare to beat you up to a paralyzed now.
But no matter what, it is his own son, so you can't ignore it.
Xu Jingzong turned to Yang Fan and said, "Brother Zhongyi is really awesome. Today I have learned about your talent. I am very impressed. The son lost his composure today and will come to the door to apologize another day. I hope Boron Zhongyi will not be surprised."
Seeing that the old fox could still bear it, Yang Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Xu praised me, but I didn't hurt someone. You are so kind, but it's easy to find a mansion in Xia Chang'an..."
Xu Jingzong cursed in his heart, this stick is really abominable, and his mouth is even more insulting. He obviously sarcastically believed in his own character. Didn’t he hear that he was just polite?
At that moment, he could only snort and express his dissatisfaction, and was about to let someone pull Xu Zhang away.
Kong Yingda, who had been silent and watched coldly, said at this time: "Mr. Xu, as the saying goes, you are willing to accept the loss. This is just a literary battle, not a life-and-death duel. A real man can take it and let it go. How can he do such a rogue act because his art is not as good as others? Isn't this contrary to the art of etiquette?"
As a representative figure of scholars from the Tang Dynasty, Kong Yingda's words were extremely harsh as soon as he said, which was equivalent to questioning Xu Zhang's character. For literati, it was equivalent to sentenced to death with a reprieve.
Xu Jingzong was shocked. He didn't expect that Kong Yingda would say such heartless words when he was present. He was very unhappy, but he couldn't let it develop and hurriedly said:
"Brother Chongyuan, the son of the dog is still young and does not understand the worldly ways, so he is so ruthless. It makes Brother Chongyuan laugh. After he returns, Jingzong will definitely be strictly disciplined."
After saying that, he turned his head and shouted at Xu Zhang, "Isn't you going to admit your mistake to Kong Siye quickly..."
At this time, Xu Zhang was quite regretful. Why did he become confused just now, saying such inaccurate words and doing such a downturn.
Kong Yingda's words made him sweat even more. If it was confirmed, he would not be able to survive in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, and would also implicate his father.
Thinking of this, he was extremely ashamed and asked Kong Yingda with a look of horror, "You are rude, sir, forgive me, and I will definitely repent behind closed doors and cultivate myself with courtesy. Please forgive me."
Since Xu Jingzong pleaded with mercy, although Kong Yingda was not afraid of him, he was also the eighteenth scholar of the Qin King, so he still had to give face. He snorted coldly and said, "You don't need to apologize to me, but to Bo Zhongyi..."
In the end, Xu Zhang was taken away in shame, and Xu Jingzong looked at Yang Fan with a serious face. This stick almost made his son have no foothold in Chang'an, which is really hateful.
He glanced at His Highness King Jin who was sitting next to Yang Fan and clapped his hands excitedly, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Unfortunately, his plan to take the opportunity to get along with Li Ye was completely disturbed by Yang Fan. It seemed that he had to find another backer.
If Yang Fan knew what Xu Jingzong was thinking, he would definitely admire the old fox's investment vision.
The matter came to an end. Yang Fan was about to get up and leave. Kong Yingda stood up, smiled with Xi on his face, which was completely different from when he scolded Xu Zhang with a stern face. Then he said, "The Qiuxi Poetry Conference is about to begin. I didn't expect that Zhongyi Bo is so talented, which makes me ashamed. Wait for a while for Qiuxi Poetry Conference, Zhongyi Bo should not hide his weakness."
Yang Fan didn't want to attend Mao Shizi's Qiuxi Poetry Festival. If Xu Zhang hadn't caused trouble, he would have returned to Chang'an to enjoy it.
However, for a gentle senior like Kong Yingda, he was always not good at speaking. He quickly clasped his fists and replied: "It is the honor of getting praise from the sir. I originally wanted to communicate with all the talents in the Tang Dynasty, but if there is something wrong with the mansion today, I had to leave with the pain."
When Kong Yingda heard this, she was immediately disappointed, which made Yang Fan feel a little unbearable.
These elegant scholars who grew up in the scholarly family have extraordinary temperaments and every move can affect other people's moods.
Before Yang Fan could speak, a sarcastic voice came: "Zhongyi Bo is so arrogant that he even refused Kong Siye's invitation, but he didn't know if there was a masterpiece except for "Pipa Xing"? Or is it that the poem is really as rumored by the outside world that people can learn from the writing process?"
Yang Fan frowned slightly and looked at the voice, and the person who spoke was on the left hand side of Xu Jingzong.
This person is about thirty years old, with a tall crown and jade belt, and a thin face make his facial features look a little narrow and long, and he has a cold and mean look.
A pair of narrow eyes flashed with bright light. At this time, he looked at Yang Fan with a smile, feeling a little disdain and contempt.
Yang Fan smiled disconcertedly: "I am a famous bastard in Chang'an. I'm afraid this brother will be disappointed. By the way, who are you?"
The man smiled tall and said proudly: "I am Cui Yonghui, Cui, Qinghe."
Yang Fan pretended to be in a daze, and then replied: "Oh? I haven't heard of it..."
Cui Yonghui's pale face turned slightly red, and he was suddenly embarrassed. How could anyone not know him?
He is a new generation leader of the Cui family in Qinghe and a well-educated scholar in Guanzhong. This stick is clearly humiliating himself, which is so annoying!
This is wronged by Yang Fan. Yang Fan has never heard of him, but even if he heard about it, he doesn't want to pay attention to this Qinghe Cui family.
Although the Cui family in Qinghe is the largest family in the five surnames and seven hopes, it is the fastest decline because of its arrogant arrogance. A family without awe cannot go far.
Cui Yonghui wanted to attack again, but saw Kong Yingda wavering his hand and said disappointedly: "That's a pity. He originally wanted to listen to Bo Zhongyi's masterpieces and enjoy the moon carefully. But I have a desire. Since Bo Zhongyi has something to do, he will listen to it."
This made Yang Fan ponder, not because of fear or anything else, but just respect for someone like Kong Yingda who focuses on literary classics.
After thinking for a while, Yang Fan bowed and said, "Although I have something to do, I can't attend the poetry meeting, I admire the moon alone last night and miss a woman like Chang'e. I sighed a little. Kong Laoru didn't dislike being a dirty person, and he dared to give it a try."
After saying that, he winked at Wu Meiniang, which immediately made peach blossoms appear on Wu Meiniang's face.
Wu Meiniang spitted secretly, full of shame. Her husband was not with her last night..., how could she enjoy the moon?
But I am still looking forward to what kind of poems my husband will make.
Kong Yingda smiled happily after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Of course not, please recite the poems. I will pick up the pen and write ink for you..." After that, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up the brush and listened carefully.
Seeing Kong Yingda so cautious, everyone was shocked. As Kong Yingda was ashamed of the vague attitude as the number one in the literary world, he rarely wrote for others.
Today, in order to write a poem by a younger generation, it actually made an example. Even if the poem written by Bangmao is poor, it will be famous in Guanzhong. Everyone gave Yang Fan an envious look.
Yang Fan closed his eyes without any sorrow or joy. After a while, there was no movement. After a moment, there was no movement. When everyone was a little impatient, Yang Fan opened his eyes and his eyes became a little hazy. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, as if he was concentrating on thinking, and only listened to the poems as if flying from the sky...
When will the bright moon appear? I asked the blue sky with wine.
I don’t know what year it will be today in the palace in the sky.
I wanted to ride the wind, but I was afraid that the jade building and jade buildings were so cold that I could dance and play with the clear shadows. How could it be like being in the world?
Turning around the red pavilion, lowering the beautiful house, shining without sleep.
There should be no hatred, so why does it take forever to part?
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this is difficult to complete in ancient times.
I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles apart.
