The passerby who doesn't have a word in the book

Meng Changyu was enlightened at the age of three, learned a thousand characters at the age of five, and composed poetry at the age of seven. "Everything is inferior, but reading is superior." It can be said to be his life creed.

Although Prince Zhuo of the Taifu's family is known as the number one son of Xijing, in his opinion, it is just a gimmick created by his family background. When it comes to real talents and learning, he cannot compare with himself.

But he may not care about the "false name" that Wang Zizhuo is living in the world, but it doesn't mean that he can turn a blind eye to Xie Fanghan, an unknown and arrogant person like Xie Fanghan!

What's more, this arrogant person is just a companion to an underappreciated princess.

Under the watchful eyes of all the princes and daughters, Meng Changyu walked to the middle of the deck, bowed slightly to the second prince and third princess and Princess Menglan, then turned around and stared straight at Xie Fanghan.

Thanks to him, Xie Fanghan was also fortunate to enjoy the feeling of being watched by the audience.Although the eyes of these people are not kind, they are full of contempt, contempt, and indifference at a glance, these officials' children express their inner thoughts with straightforward eyes.

Xie Fanghan walked unhappily, facing the narrow eyes of Meng Changyu and other people around him, he walked to stand opposite him step by step.

Meng Changyu was a reader of sage books, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Xie Fanghan in his heart, he still had to have the proper etiquette. He performed a gentleman's salute in a proper manner, but when he raised his head, he was almost defeated by Xie Fanghan's cold air again.

He was here to show his respect to Xie Fanghan, but Xie Fanghan on the opposite side not only didn't return the greeting, he didn't even look at him.

Meng Changyu followed Xie Fanghan's line of sight, and saw the fifth princess standing in the distance at a glance.

"Hmph." Meng Changyu said disdainfully, "Even the fifth princess can't help you now."

Hearing Meng Changyu's voice, Xie Fanghan was finally willing to turn his head back, and his gaze fell back on Meng Changyu.

Xie Fanghan in front of the crowd still showed no superfluous expression. Seeing his indifferent look, Meng Changyu was furious, and stabbed again, "Arrogance has a price to pay."

Xie Fanghan, who had never been silent all this time, nodded suddenly, and said in agreement, "That sentence is true."

Meng Changyu was choked, and in her heart she was even more disdainful towards Xie Fanghan, but she didn't say anything more, turned around and saluted the second prince, "Your Highness, please give me a question."

The second prince is not good at these things, but he has a high status in the presence, and it is not easy to show it clearly, so he simply pushed the blame on the host, Princess Menglan.

The second prince: "This king will not overwhelm the guests, let the host decide on the topic."

Princess Menglan did not shirk, and glanced at Yan Yutang in the distance, with a dignified smile still on her face.

"It's better to use the question just now as the test question."

Xie Fanghan sneered in his heart, the princess is determined to humiliate Yan Yutang today.When she lost, it was Yan Yutang's face that she lost. When she won, the prize was the jewelry used by the princess, and she was still hitting Yan Yutang in the face.

A dignified princess got a set of jewelry used by the princess, what does the world think!

Ha ha.

Really good calculation!

After listening to Princess Menglan's words, Meng Changyu thought for a while before answering. He didn't think too deeply, but he had already thought of a few sentences about the topic just now. Although he didn't care about the ranking of those young masters, he also I don't want to lose face outside, so it's naturally best to let him finish this poem.

After deciding on the topic, Meng Changyu continued to think about the next two sentences.Xie Fanghan suddenly turned to Princess Menglan, and saw the undisguised schadenfreude in her eyes at a glance.

Princess Menglan was taken aback by Xie Fanghan's sudden movement, quickly concealed her emotions, and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Xie?"

Xie Fanghan cupped his hands, and his tone was as usual as if he hadn't noticed the change she had just said: "I heard that the princess's chess skills are superb, can you give me some pointers."

The onlookers immediately went crazy, not understanding what Xie Fanghan was up to. Mingming had just made an appointment with Meng Changyu for a competition, but then turned to Princess Menglan for advice on chess skills?

Does he feel that he can't compare with Meng Changyu and find another way?Or do you not take Meng Changyu seriously and think he is not worth mentioning?

Princess Menglan's first reaction was also the first reason, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. Xie Fanghan still had that expressionless face, which made it hard to see what was going on in her heart.

She is clear about Meng Changyu's knowledge, she is really knowledgeable.Could it be that the son of the Xie family really wanted to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses?Princess Menglan subconsciously glanced at Yan Yutang, but saw that she had a smile on her face, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of approval.She paused in her heart, secretly thinking that it was exactly as she thought, and she should order someone to bring the chessboard.

"I can't talk about advice, but since Mr. Xie took the initiative to make such a request, I, as the host, naturally want to make Mr. Xie feel at home."

Princess Menglan sat on one side of the chessboard and gestured for Xie Fanghan to take a seat with a smile on her face.The third son of the Xie family is also smart. After this encounter, even if he loses to Meng Changyu in poetry, he can still win Yan Yutang's face with her. It's a pity that he is not very lucky, so he chose to play chess with her. Among her peers in Xijing, her chess skill is really one of the best, and even Wang Zizhuo is defeated by her.

"Princess, please." Xie Fanghan pushed Baizi towards Princess Menglan, and took Heizi's chess box by himself.Dayan's rule is "execute the white first", so Xie Fanghan gave the initiative to Princess Menglan.

Princess Menglan secretly mocked Xie Fanghan's self-righteousness in her heart, but on the face she accepted Bai Zi without hesitation. Some people insisted on going to a dead end, and she was happy to see it succeed.

Meng Changyu on the other side naturally also heard what happened to Xie Fanghan. He felt that Xie Fanghan was looking down on him, so he calmed down after being extremely angry, and decided to polish this poem.

Standing beside Yan Yutang, Wei Nanyan caught a glimpse of His Royal Highness's peaceful expression, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Your Highness..."

Yan Yutang looked away from Xie Fanghan, looked at Wei Nanyan with a worried face, and patted her arm comfortingly.

"fine."

Although there are only two words, but because Yan Yutang said it, I still feel less uneasy, but seeing Meng Changyu, who is intoxicated in his own world, and the two who are fighting on the chessboard on the other side, still can't help but sigh heavily. tone.

"Yizhi won't target indiscriminately." Yan Yutang said.

Wei Nanyan nodded, after all, he was a classmate, and after getting along for a long time, he could see the other party's behavior from some small details, but today's round was really too dangerous.

Because of the competition between Meng Changyu and Xie Fanghan, the other officials' children were not in a hurry to show their poems for everyone to appreciate, and they all waited patiently for Meng Changyu's works.

About the time when he was touching two cups of tea, Meng Changyu, who was like an old monk in meditation, suddenly got up. Seeing this, everyone knew that the highlight was coming, and they all geared up and waited for the next scene.

Even the second prince and third princess cheered up.They were already tired of staying, if not for the fact that there were too many children from the aristocratic families present to lose face, they would have left long ago. Seeing that Meng Changyu's poem was finished, it was time for today's farce to come to an end.

"Brother Meng's poem is ready?" someone who knew Meng Changyu asked.

Meng Changyu nodded, confident but not arrogant, looked at Xie Fanghan on the other side and said, "It's done".

"Crack." Princess Menglan dropped Baizi.

Xie Fanghan didn't look at the location, and got up directly.Princess Menglan was stunned for a moment, returning her thoughts from the chessboard, only to find that Xie Fanghan was walking towards Meng Changyu, she quickly collected her emotions, got up and walked over there too.

Xie Fanghan's level of chess skills was beyond her expectations, if she hadn't played the white piece first, the winner might have been decided long ago, she felt a little more uneasy, but seeing Meng Changyu, she suppressed her uneasiness.

Even if she loses, Meng Changyu will move back a game for her.

Xie Fanghan stood still five steps away from Meng Changyu, without saying much, he raised his hand to ask for advice.

Meng Changyu was indeed knowledgeable, and wrote a seven-character quatrain very vividly.

Minghu treasure ship rises to meet the sun,

But seeing the green lotus getting hazy early.

Feasting on Sheng Xiao and discussing Fengyue,

But I heard that Honghu was heading to the west city.

After Meng Changyu finished reading his poem, there was a burst of applause from the audience. The first two sentences vividly described the painting boat and the lake scene, the third sentence used the scene of today's lake tour as a metaphor for the peace and happiness of Xijing, and the fourth sentence praised People with lofty aspirations all come to Xijing to achieve a career.

The second prince and the third princess were very satisfied, and Princess Menglan was even more happy and felt that she was sure of winning.

Meng Changyu heard these applause, no matter how steady her mind was, she raised her hand to Xie Fanghan, and said one word in a slightly contemptuous tone: "Please".

The children of the aristocratic family were not optimistic about Xie Fanghan, Meng Changyu was very knowledgeable, and Xie Fanghan had been playing chess just now, so he had no time to think about writing poems, but the tutor of the official family still asked them to wait quietly for Xie Fanghan's "masterpiece".

Xie Fanghan really didn't think about how to write the poem for this competition topic.

After all, she is a descendant of a nation with 5000 years of splendid culture.

write poetry?

"Write" cry, believe it or not?

Since Xie Fanghan decided to show Yan Yutang this trick, he naturally wanted to do it beautifully, and it was his style that he was sure to hit his throat when he saw blood sealing his throat.

In ancient times, Cao Zijian wrote a poem in seven steps, and today she, Xie Fanghan, also borrowed the power of the ancients to suppress this group of villains who trample on the low and praise the high!

"After all, West Lake is mid-June." Xie Fanghan took a step towards the side of the boat.

The people present did not expect that Xie Fanghan would really speak, but then they laughed in a low voice. Even though their literary talents are ordinary, they can tell the level of this sentence. The word "after all" is too straightforward Now, is it possible that the third son of the Xie family is going to make a doggerel?

"The scenery is not the same as the four seasons." Xie Fanghan ignored the laughter around him and took the second step towards the side of the boat.

In the third step of "Jiangtian Lianye Infinite Bi", the laughter in the field weakened a lot.

In the fourth step of "The lotus in the reflection of the sun is differently red", Xie Fanghan stood by the boat, under the wide view, the lotus leaves all over the lake swayed with the breeze, and the setting sun cast a layer of warm light on the originally gorgeous lotus. .

It was quiet on the painting boat, and there was no laughter at all.

Xie Fang's cold robe entered the scene, out of place and beautiful.Xie Fangfei clenched the handkerchief tightly in the crowd, Xia Fei's cheeks.

Xie Fanghan's poems can't be read at first, but every time I read them, the aftertaste will be more. The first two sentences that were ridiculed at first seem even more wonderful now.

Comparing the two, although Meng Changyu's poems are intended to make people feel happy, Xie Fanghan's is a masterpiece in terms of literary attainments, which is nothing short of a big deal.

Huafang remained eerily quiet. Xie Fanghan's poems were beyond everyone's expectations. The poems are wonderful, but this person still composes poems in four steps. Meng Changyu's defeat will never come back anyway.

Meng Changyu's face was pale, this blow was not a big deal for him, his carefully polished poems were not as good as those of his peers Sibu, think about how he was still talking nonsense in front of people before the competition.

Arrogance has a price.

That's right, this is true, but he doesn't think that the one who is really arrogant is himself...

Meng Changyu couldn't say the word "admit defeat" when he opened his mouth several times. It wasn't because he didn't want to admit it, but because he didn't want to lose face...

Xie Fanghan didn't care, turned around and walked towards the chess game. The handkerchief in Princess Menglan's hand had already been twisted into a ball. When Xie Fanghan made a poem in four steps, her mind went blank.

she is going to lose...

Xie Fanghan didn't care how ugly Princess Menglan's face was, Zhihei went straight down, not looking at the situation, turned around and raised his hand to Princess Menglan and said "acceptance", and then walked away like a normal person Back to Yan Yutang's side.

Curious people gathered around the chessboard, and they didn't know what to say after reading it. The situation of black and white was clear at a glance. Xie Fanghan's black could have won a long time ago. Presumably, he had been waiting for Meng Changyu to write a poem, and it was only at this time that the game was settled.

It's not a fool to be invited by the princess, there must be a connection between the two, and after a little thought, I understood Xie Fanghan's intentions. The third son of Xie's mansion clearly did this to silence others.

With such a huge gap between victory and defeat, even if someone wanted to say something for Meng Changyu and the princess, they couldn't say anything.

Xie Fanghan stood still in front of Yan Yutang, bent down respectfully and saluted, "Your Highness."

Faced with the gaze attracted by Xie Fanghan, Yan Yutang remained calm as usual, suppressing the ups and downs in her heart, and said to Xie Fanghan, "Excuse me."

The second prince glanced at Princess Menglan who had an extremely ugly face, and for the sake of the royal family's face, he took the initiative to draw everyone's attention back.

The sight of probing disappeared, and the world calmed down again.Yan Yutang lowered her eyes so that people could not see the fluctuation in her heart at this time.

She doesn't care about other people's opinions, whether it's from the harem, from the previous court, or from the world, she doesn't care about these things, she knows in her heart that if she really wanted these things, she would have gotten them long ago.

But fighting for her by herself is different from fighting for her by others.Whether it is the emperor father or the concubine mother, no one has ever fought for her, and no one has ever stood in front of her to shield her from the wind and rain.

As her mother and concubine said, she can only rely on herself.After living in the harem for so many years, she was fearless because she did not fight.But when Xie Fanghan just stood in front of her and saluted, he had to admit that there was still throbbing in the bottom of her heart.

For the first time in fifteen years, I saw someone overcome all obstacles for her,

How could she be indifferent?
