A car accident, our family of three crossed

After Wang Jin left, the Sun brothers and sisters also left, saying that they were going to go somewhere else for a walk and then return to the village.

If the other party only had Hang Shuheng's family of three, they would be happy to go shopping together, but the other party also had Zhou Ting's brother and sister, whom they were not very familiar with, and they felt extremely uncomfortable shopping together.

After Hang Shuheng and others told them to take good care of the children and pay attention to safety, they parted ways with them.

After parting with the Sun family, Yangyang dragged the adults to the ring-tossing stall, clamoring to play.

This time, Hang Shuheng and Zhou Ting did not interfere at all, and let them do it themselves. No matter whether they put on the condom or not, Yangyang and Zhou Ru were having a lot of fun.

Song Ning watched from the side and felt itchy, so she played a few circles with them and she also got one wrong.

I didn't spend much money playing this game, but I had a great time, so it was worth it.

Among the three, the one with the best accuracy was Yangyang. He looked at the spoils in front of him, which were more than those of his mother and aunt, and he jumped for joy three times.

"Wow! I'm the first, I'm the best." Yang Yang wanted to continue asking, but was rejected by Hang Shuheng.

"We can't play anymore, there are still so many places we haven't visited!" You guys must be having so much fun, but didn't you notice that the stall owner was about to cry?

"All right!"

Yangyang was not the kind of kid who would act like a naughty kid. He nodded obediently and let the adults lead him away.

Afterwards, they toured almost the entire county and met many acquaintances along the way.

We met the Shuisheng brothers and Chen Laoer and his group in front of the magic stall.

"Brother Mudun, Brother Xiaobao, look, these are what my father won by guessing riddles, and these are what I got by tossing rings myself, what do you think? Am I awesome?" Yangyang pulled Chen Xiaobao and Mudun to show off again, and gave them small gifts one after another without paying.

After separating from Shuisheng and others, they met He Tiesheng and his family of three.

Yangyang did the same thing, first showing off, then giving away everything for free, including sugar figures, dolls, purses, sachets, etc.

The children were happy, the givers were happy, the receivers were happy, and the adults didn’t say anything either.

However, ever since Xiao Wang met Hang Shuheng and his wife, she has been avoiding their gazes and dared not look them in the eye.

He Tiesheng naturally knew that his wife was feeling uncomfortable. He sighed silently, exchanged a few words with Hang Shuheng and others, and then left with his wife and children.

Finally, the group went to the river to release lotus lanterns. When they returned to the street, they heard the news that a child had been abducted, but fortunately the child was rescued by the constables from the county government.

After seeing what happened on the street, they decided not to continue strolling and instead went straight back to Wangjiang Tower.

On such a crowded street, it is easy for criminals to take advantage of you if you are not careful, so it is better to go back early.

"We've visited all the places we should visit. Are you satisfied now?" Song Ning rubbed Yangyang's little head and asked, "Can we go home now?"

Yangyang nodded vigorously, "Yeah! Satisfied, very satisfied."

On the way back to Wangjiang Tower, they had a clear destination and did not stop for too long along the way.

When they passed the street where they had guessed the riddle again, the stall owners turned back when they saw them. They were all terrified, as if there was a message written on everyone's head: Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me.

Back at Wangjiang Tower, a couplet-playing activity was being held in the lobby on the first floor.

The work of Wangjiang Tower is naturally not comparable to those of the small vendors outside, and the questions they ask are even more difficult. Not everyone can answer them correctly, so the prizes offered are extremely expensive.

For this purpose, the owner of Wangjiang Tower specially invited famous literary masters in the county and the presidents of various academies to serve as referees, a total of nine people.

All pairs written by everyone must be reviewed and observed by these nine judges, and ultimately the nine judges will decide which one wins.

In order to prevent cheating, all referees are not allowed to have private contact with participants. Even when participants are matching pairs in the hall, all referees must stay away.

Hang Shuheng and others stopped to watch for a moment. Originally, they were not very interested, but when they saw Wangjiang Tower display the ultimate prize, they couldn't help but take a closer look.

bang bang bang --

The guy stood on the stage, beating the gong, and immediately diverted everyone's attention.

"Everyone, please look here. The most important prize of our Wangjiang Tower today is this hairpin, named 'Seven Stars and the Moon'."

Song Ning took a look and saw a silver hairpin, which she was very familiar with. This style was a Mid-Autumn Festival series designed by the shopkeeper Zhou and her not long ago, and this hairpin was one of the styles.

"Daddy, Daddy, you haven't given Mom a gift yet!" Yangyang lay on Hang Shuheng's shoulder and whispered in his ear. The meaning shouldn't be too obvious, just win it, win it, win it.

Hang Shuheng paused after hearing this and glanced sideways at Song Ning. In fact, he had prepared a gift, a pair of bracelets, but he hadn't had time to give it away yet!

However, since the child had made the request, how could he bear to disappoint the child, so it would be okay to give him one more gift.

"Does Yangyang think that looks good?"

"Mm! It looks great. If mom wears it, it will definitely look stunning."

Yangyang clapped his hands and forgot to lower his voice in excitement. What he said immediately attracted the attention of many people.

No one understood what "bulingbuling" meant, but based on what the child said, it was not difficult to guess its meaning. It should mean that it was very beautiful!

In other words, the child thought that his mother would look very good wearing that hairpin.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. It was really a child's words! Did he know that to get that hairpin, he had to have real talent and knowledge. He had to stand out among many talented and knowledgeable scholars to win the highest prize.

Among the crowd, some people recognized Hang Shuheng and were quite optimistic about him.

"That's Hang Tongsheng. I think if it's Hang Tongsheng, he might really win the highest prize."

"That's right, I also think that Hang Tongsheng has a chance of winning the highest prize."

Those people only knew Hang Tongsheng and didn't know him well, but strangely, they inexplicably had great confidence in him.

At this time, a discordant voice interrupted and mocked: "Humph! A bunch of short-sighted rats, if you ask me, the first prize tonight must belong to Miss Cao."

The person who spoke was Mei Yaosheng, who was driven out of Wanjuan Bookstore during the day. He didn't expect to meet Hang Shuheng here again tonight. The humiliation he suffered during the day suddenly flooded into his mind.

At this time, Cao Qianyu came over with her maid. Mei Yaosheng immediately changed his expression, turned around and nodded to his goddess, "Miss Cao, you are here. I have confidence in Miss Cao. You will definitely win the first prize tonight."

Cao Qianyu ignored him, but was very pleased with his flattery and gave him a sidelong glance as if giving alms.

But just this one look of charity made Mei Yaosheng so happy that he started to flatter the boss in various ways.

Miss Cao accepted his flattery and looked haughtily in the direction of Hang Shuheng and others. To be more precise, she was looking at Song Ning.

That provocative look seemed to be saying: Look, I have the ability to be praised by others, do you have it?

Song Ning was a little speechless. Who was she showing off to? It was as if no one cared about her.

However, Cao Qianyu's eyes made Song Ning a little unhappy. She smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Cao would be so competitive and want to compete with so many men for a prize. It can be seen that Miss Cao really loves that hairpin!"

These words were really hurtful. Didn't they mean that as an unmarried girl, she should not stay at home and instead hang out with men?

Cao Qianyu's arrogant face suddenly turned blue and red with anger.

Li Chengan and others also came, but they all stayed away from Mei Yaosheng. Based on their recent experience, that guy was so self-righteous and outspoken that they would be embarrassed together if they stayed with him.

Look, that guy was fine, but he had to get in front of Hang Shuheng to humiliate himself, and even brought Miss Cao along. It's really interesting.

Now they had something exciting to watch, and they realized how interesting it was to watch other people's excitement from the perspective of a bystander.

Fortunately, Miss Cao was here tonight, so that guy stopped bothering them. Otherwise, they would be the ones to make a fool of themselves with him tonight.

It was not until Song Ning spoke that everyone noticed the woman next to Hang Tongsheng. Li Chengan had never seen her before, but the classmates around him were almost shocked.

Oh, isn't this woman one of the three women they met on Maple Forest Mountain before? Looking to her side, yes, these two were the ones they met that day.

At this time, Mei Yaosheng also recognized Song Ning and Zhou Ru, pointed at them, and said angrily, "You, you..."

Then, he felt several cold gazes that seemed to pierce him.

Hang Shuheng's eyes darkened, and he said word by word in a cold voice: "Please take your finger back."

Mei Yaosheng felt a little lacking in confidence and at the same time a little hesitant. After all, this was in front of his goddess. If he just withdrew his fingers like that, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

Fortunately, at this moment, the guy on the stage struck a gong, which immediately broke the tense atmosphere.

Mei Yaosheng took this opportunity to retract his finger and followed Cao Qianyu who walked away in anger.

Seeing that the competition was about to begin, Song Ning took Yangyang from Hang Shuheng and went upstairs first with Zhou Ru.

In the center of the hall, the waiter unveiled the red silk on the central column of the hall, and a huge scroll slowly hung down from top to bottom, with a couplet clearly posted on it.

Wangjiang Tower, overlooking the river flow, looking at the river flow from under the Wangjiang Tower, the Jiang Tower is eternal, and the river flow is eternal.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was looking at the first line of the couplet and began to ponder.

Everyone has only one incense stick of time to think about it. If they still cannot come up with an answer after one incense stick of time, it will be regarded as a voluntary forfeit.

"Brother Shuheng, how is it? Do you have any idea?" Zhou Ting asked in a low voice from the side. He did not intend to participate, but he could also help with ideas and provide some inspiration.

But Hang Shuheng didn't seem to need his advice. He just nodded casually, looking like he had everything planned out.

Is this true? Zhou Ting looked at him suspiciously. Could it be that he had figured it out so quickly?

Hang Shuheng didn't care about Zhou Ting's suspicious look. He still had a calm expression, unlike the other participants who had frowned and looked sad. It seemed as if he was just a bystander watching the fun.

When a stick of incense was about to burn out, people came up to the stage one after another and wrote their second line on the blank scroll that had been prepared long ago. Only they and the guy who collected the answers could see these contents.

Hang Shuheng was the last one to submit his work before the incense burned out. As soon as he finished writing the last word, the waiter on the stage struck the gong and shouted that the time had come.

Soon, the second couplets of all participants were sent to the private room on the second floor. After reading them one by one, the nine judges shook their heads in disappointment.

I don't know how many people saw it, but suddenly someone said, "Everyone, Cao thinks this couplet is not bad."

The person who spoke was Dean Cao of Hongyuan Academy, and what he was looking at at the moment was the second half of the couplet written by his daughter Cao Qianyu.

He didn't care how other people did, but he could recognize his daughter's handwriting at a glance, so no matter how good it was, he had to mention it.

When the other judges heard him say this, they passed around the second line of the couplet he had said, then shook their heads and looked at him with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Is this the only talent that Dean Cao of Hongyuan Academy has? Can you call such a couplet good? He must have never seen a good couplet before.

Dean Cao felt a little embarrassed when he saw that what he had strongly recommended was unanimously rejected. These people were too self-righteous. Why did they think that something was bad?

Soon, everyone continued to look back, and there appeared a pair that more than half of the judges thought was good, and it was drawn out and put aside.

However, Dean Cao was opposed to all of these couplets. In other words, after Cao Qianyu's couplets were unanimously rejected, Dean Cao rejected all the couplets he saw afterwards.

But his or a few people's denial will not have any effect at all. Among the nine judges, the one with the most votes wins, no problem.

They also had no idea about the situation in the hall downstairs, and had never seen the participants, so there was no question of cheating or not.

However, Dean Cao's behavior made people feel a little suspicious. The handwriting of the couplet he strongly recommended just now was obviously written by a woman.

Everyone knew that Dean Cao had a daughter in his mansion who was said to be very talented. If the couplet was written by Miss Cao, then it would not be surprising that Dean Cao could recognize his daughter's handwriting, and it would also make sense for him to strongly recommend the couplet.

But if it is said that the couplet was indeed written by the talented Miss Cao, then everyone would have to doubt that Miss Cao's reputation for talent was somewhat exaggerated.
