Regardless of which world or dynasty, workers love to eat melons. After the officials left the court, they excitedly shared the latest melon with their husbands. The news that the fifth princess had fought with the sixth princess for the concubine quickly made the imperial city's popularity list.

Wen Chuheng also heard about it, and he accepted the invitation from the Duke's Mansion to give his wife honor.

A few days later, Hua Ke and Wen Chuheng walked into the Duke's Mansion together.

It was said to be a birthday celebration for the old lady, but in fact it was a blind date for the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. The big families all brought young men of marriageable age to the backyard, where they played chess, calligraphy and painting, recited poems, burned incense and appreciated art, while the daughter secretly observed the man she liked.

It was not convenient for Hua Ke to go into the backyard, but in fact she really wanted to go in because there were so many handsome guys in the garden.

When she parted with Wen Chuheng, she happened to meet Hua Zhen and Jin Pingmei coming over. When she saw Jin Pingmei's face, she was stunned for three seconds.

Appearance reflects the heart. This person's face has changed.

Ye Jing also saw Hua Ke standing beside him. She was even more vivid in person than in his memory. Ye Jing could hear the sound of his own heartbeat. He finally understood why his original self fell in love with her at first sight. This little fairy was so damn pretty!

Men understand men best. Wen Chuheng could see Ye Jing's expression. His tall body blocked Hua Ke's way and said, "My dear wife, stop looking at those vixen outside."

Hua Ke raised her eyelids. Who did this thousand-year-old fox call a foxy girl?

The husbands in the backyard suggested playing backgammon. The first person to move all the chess pieces off the board wins.

In his previous life, Ye Jing was a second-generation rich man with a little money from his family. He was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun. He could also quickly master some ancient games. For him, backgammon was a piece of cake.

With luck and strength, he won three games in a row. His fourth opponent was Chu Cejun from Prince Kang's Mansion. As soon as Wen Chuheng sat down, sparks flew in the eyes of the two men and neither of them was willing to give in.

Even if Ye Jing had good luck, he was no match for Wen Chuheng who had cheats, so Ye Jing left the scene in embarrassment.

Then he found that the other party seemed to be competing with him. He was playing tossing pots, and the scholar was also playing. He hit three targets, and the scholar hit six. He hit four targets, and the scholar hit eight targets. No matter how many targets he hit, the scholar always hit twice as many as him.

Damn, is this the score control boss?

No more betting! He plays with the money.

Wen Chuheng put down the arrow in his hand and followed his fellow villager.

Ye Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chu, could you please stop following me?"

"Didn't the Sixth Princess ask us to accompany her? Mei Cejun, you've just arrived in Dongqing Country. I'll take you to get familiar with the rules of the game here."

Ye Jing frowned and shook the copper coin in his hand back and forth a few times, then threw it on the ground, turning it right side up and wrong side up.

Wen Chuheng threw it casually, and all the numbers came up heads. "Sorry, Mei Cejun, I won again."

Damn it, this scholar did it on purpose!

During the time Ye Jing had traveled here, he had accumulated some connections. Naturally, he had heard that the scholar came from a brothel. He could not read a single word, so he suddenly had an idea. "Chu Cejun, I lose the game and I give it to you. Let's compete in elegant arts. It's a best-of-three game. The loser has to agree to a request from the other party. Do you dare to come?"

"Why not? Please."

Duke Yi's husband was happy to see this scene and stepped forward to preside over it. The husbands all chose the team they supported.

Except for Shaoyao, the second princess, and the people from the general's mansion, everyone else stood behind Ye Jing. Judging from the number of people, Prince Kang's mansion had lost.

The women in the front yard also knew that the fifth princess and the sixth princess's concubines were playing chess, and they all went to the back yard to watch the show.

Ye Jing inherited his original body's skill in playing the guqin. For Ye Jing now, playing the guqin is as easy as fluffing cotton.

When Hua Ke and her group arrived, Ye Jing was playing the piano until the end. Seeing Hua Ke, Ye Jing played even more vigorously. Hua Zhen mistakenly thought that he was excited because of her, so she hugged Ye Jing and kissed him, "Mei'er is great!"

Ye Jing: “…Fuck!”

Wen Chuheng walked calmly to the guqin and plucked the strings casually.

Hua Zhen said, "Look at Chu Cejun's posture. Our Mei'er is going to win."

"Hua Zhen, do you think your face doesn't hurt enough?" Hua Ke said coldly.

Hua Zhen glared at Hua Ke and looked at Wen Chuheng with contempt.

Wen Chuheng smiled and glanced at his wife, then sat down and played the zither. As his fingertips rose and fell, the weeping and plaintive music flowed, like a warm spring breeze entering everyone's ears. As the player sang softly, the breeze blew the winter plum blossoms off the branches, carrying everyone's hearts out of the prosperous capital, across the endless mountains, through the gurgling streams, across the turbulent rivers and seas, and shuttled between the vast heaven and earth...

Everyone was immersed in the melodious sound of the piano, and the sound of "clang" interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream and looked at Wen Chuheng in a trance.

"My Chuchu won this round, right?"

Bai Mingxi was the first to agree, "I think Chu Cejun is more skilled."

Ye Jing opened and closed his mouth, and after a minute, he admitted defeat.

He may not be able to compare with the ancients in playing the piano, but when it comes to reciting poems and composing essays, he must win back a game.

Wen Chuheng smiled faintly, "Mr. Mei, you should go first."

"Okay then. I'll go first."

Ye Jing cleared his throat and said, "In the spring of Jiachen, on the 15th day of March, Mei Zi and her guests went boating on the Lanjiang River. The breeze was gentle and the water was calm... The moon rose above the eastern mountain and hovered between the stars... It was as vast as Feng Xu riding the wind, and no one knew where it would stop. It was as light as if it had left the world and ascended to heaven. So they drank and had a great time, knocking on the side of the boat and singing..."

When the slightly modified "Red Cliff Fu" came out, Wen Chuheng and Hua Ke looked at each other, blinked and smiled. This is the masterpiece of the great Su Shi, so they should just admit defeat.

Ye Jing is best at Chinese among all subjects because his uncle is a high school teacher and is very strict. He did not forget all the knowledge he learned after the college entrance examination and it was easy for him to recite "Red Cliff Fu". Anyway, this world is fictional and no one knows who Su Shi is.

Hua Zhen clapped her hands vigorously: "Great! What a great 'The moon rises above the eastern mountain and lingers between the bullfighting chariots'! Mei'er, you are really excellent."

Bai Mingxi and Hua Ke whispered in each other's ears: "What should we do? Does your Chuchu know how to write poetry? I really admire Mei Cejun now. He can speak poetry fluently."

Hua Ke: “…”

Wen Chuheng curled his lips, "Mei Cejun's "Ode to the Lan River" is very good, especially the content after the breeze is coming. It is unprecedented and will never be surpassed. I admit defeat."

Hua Ke also nodded in agreement: "Mei Cejun is amazing, your Chinese grades must be very good, have you heard of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song? I like Su Shi the most, and my favorite is his "Nian Nu Jiao: Remembering the Past at Chibi". I also like the couple he and his brother Su Che are a pair. Do you know them?"

In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck Ye Jing's heart. How could it be...

Damn, I met a fellow villager!

Bai Mingxi and others: "..." What are they talking about? Who is Su Shi?
