Chapter 102: War of words
It is conceivable that if the rumor that "Xu Jingzong complained that Fang Xuanling did not miss his old relationship and therefore did not visit Fang Xuanling for many years" spreads, according to the rules of the officialdom, how many people will pay tribute to Fang Xuanling. Show kindness and embarrass yourself.
You know, I have just been transferred back to Chang'an from Hongzhou Sima Ren who was demoted by His Majesty Li Er. If something happens again, I might as well retire and return home as soon as possible...
"I wonder if Erlang thinks someone is qualified to serve as this judge?"
Xu Jingzong decisively changed the topic and dug a small hole.
He didn't ask Fang Jun if he agreed, but asked if he was qualified...
Can Fang Jun say that he is not qualified?
Of course not. After all, he was a senior of his father's generation. No matter how unhappy he was, he had to stop it in moderation. It was not good to go too far.
Fang Jun smiled affectionately and said: "What did Uncle Shi say? My father has mentioned Uncle Shi's knowledge in front of this junior more than once. If Uncle Shi is not qualified, I am afraid that my father and Uncle Du will not be qualified either... Junior, I obey." That’s it.”
Xu Jingzong looked at Fang Jun with a smile: "Haha, how dare Xu be so praised as the prime minister? Then Xu relies on his old age to serve as the judge? But he doesn't know how the good nephew is going to compete?"
He was smiling on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.
How could Fang Xuanling, a pure and upright gentleman, give birth to such a villainous creature?
This little brat has a trap in every word he says, and he will fall into it if he is not careful.
If Uncle Shi is not qualified, I am afraid that neither my father nor Uncle Du will be qualified... Is this a good thing to say?
It’s simply flattering!
Who is Fang Xuanling?
Who is Du Ruhui?
No matter how conceited I am, Xu Jingzong, I dare not say that I am better than these two! If others heard this, they would think that I, Xu Jingzong, was arrogant and did not take Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui seriously...
This guy is so bad!
Although Jin Wang Li Zhi was still young, he was definitely a model of precocious wisdom. Even though he looked like a cute young lady on his face, it could be seen from the fact that he stood up to cover Princess Gaoyang's drink just now that he was definitely very thoughtful.
At this moment, I was listening to Fang Jun and Xu Jingzong bickering with each other, but my cheap brother-in-law did not fall behind. Instead, Xu Jingzong interrupted him one after another, and I couldn't help but cheer loudly in my heart!
Li Zhi didn't have a good impression of Xu Jingzong.
This treacherous minister was transferred back to Chang'an by his father a few days ago and took up the post of minister. Before that, he was demoted to Hongzhou by his father to serve as Sima of the Dudu Mansion. As for the reason, it was because he was in mourning for Empress Changsun the year before. , Ouyang Xun's appearance even made Ouyang Xun ugly and disgraceful, and he was exposed by the censor.
Empress Changsun was Li Zhi's biological mother. Xu Jingzong behaved inappropriately during the period of mourning for his biological mother. How could Li Zhi not be angry?
Now seeing Xu Jingzong's defeat, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel happy. He raised his thumb under the table and said softly to Princess Gaoyang: "Brother-in-law is mighty!"
Princess Gao Yang was immediately embarrassed. She stretched out her little hand and gestured in front of Li Zhi's eyes. She showed her little tiger teeth and threatened: "If you dare to scream again, I will scratch you..."
Li Zhi looked at Sister Seventeen's slender fingers and shuddered. He immediately shut up and sat upright, looking like a young adult...
Princess Gao Yang was confused.
Is Fang Jun deliberately trying to make trouble with Chu Yanfu because he really "admires" Chu Yanfu, or is there some other reason?
Moreover, Fang Jun's impression on her has always been that of a straightforward and "cowardly" character, but now he is having a conversation with Xu Jingzong, which is really subversive...
I was confused in my heart, but I heard Fang Jun say in my ears: "Uncle Shi asked me to accept the rules of the competition? So, I'm afraid it's unfair to Mr. Deng..."
Princess Gaoyang couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. She suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly sat down straight. With a quick glance, he happened to see Fang Jun looking over and immediately gave him two big hygiene balls...
With the little ink in your belly, are you still afraid that Chu Yanfu will think it’s unfair?
The ignorant are really fearless...
Chu Yanfu said magnanimously: "I will follow what Xu Xu said."
What a joke, among the Four Books and Five Classics, I have never been afraid of anyone!
fair? Haha...
Fang Jun shrugged and said nonchalantly: "In that case, it would be disrespectful to say so. In this way, let's make it simple. When someone asks a question, the young master will answer it. If the answer is correct, the young master will give the question. If someone cannot answer the question, it will be replaced by the young master. If you come out, the other party will keep asking questions until the answer comes up..."
Princess Gaoyang interjected: "In this case, wouldn't it be endless? It would be better to set a deadline."
As he said that, he winked playfully at Fang Jun.
If you never get the answer to Chu Yanfu's question but never admit defeat, wouldn't it mean that there will never be a winner?
What a rogue plan!
Boy, I saw through your plan!
Fang Jun did not expect that Princess Gaoyang was trying to cheat on him because he was full of confidence.
If Chu Yanfu had asked the question first, he would have been instantly killed without saying anything, and there would be no chance for him to ask the question; but if he had asked the question first, haha...
Do you really think that the more than a thousand years of experience you have given me was for free?
"The princess is indeed as smart as ice and snow. This statement is extremely reasonable. Let's limit it to ten questions. Whoever answers ten questions correctly first or fails to answer ten questions will determine the winner. How about?"
Chu Yanfu showed his graceful etiquette and gentlemanly demeanor to Princess Gaoyang, and complimented her greatly.
When he met Princess Gaoyang today, he was awestruck by her grace and appearance. Considering her status as a royal princess and a golden girl, he could not help but feel admiration for her.
But this girl was granted marriage by His Majesty to Fang Jun, a despicable person. Chu Yanfu was not angry and wanted to show off in front of Princess Gaoyang. Fang Jun's father is Fang Xuanling, and his own father is Chu Suiliang, which is not far behind!
If Princess Gaoyang falls in love with her and wants her majesty to take back her marriage and marry her instead, it is not impossible...
Fang Jun didn't care: "It's up to you!"
Seeing his lazy and casual expression, but also as if he had everything under control, Princess Gaoyang felt itchy with hatred...
Pack! Let you continue to pretend!
Let’s see how you die later...
Xu Jingzong said: "This is very good, so I will ask Erlang to come up with the topic first."
Chu Yanfu smiled and said: "Please."
Everyone braced themselves and waited for Fang Jun to ask the question.
However, Fang Jun calmly sat back down in his seat, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Etiquette and music both have rules. It's just a matter of following the script. It's not difficult. Don't ask. Whatever!”
Princess Gaoyang said to herself: I'm afraid you haven't read it at all, right?
Xu Jingzong thought about it and felt that there was no way to play the two games. They were all reciting from the book, so it was difficult to distinguish the winner.
Then he said: "What Erlang said is true, but the two skills of shooting and control..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Yanfu. The eldest son of the Chu family had extraordinary literary talent, but his body was thin and he could only hold a pen. How could he draw a bow and command a horse? Both of these have no chance of winning.
He pretended to pause, just to make a gesture to provoke Fang Jun. Don't you say that defeating others in the field where they are best is the most fulfilling? Then there is no point in defeating others in the field you are best at...
Fang Jun looked at Xu Jingzong, who was showing off, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi is really a helper but not a bride..."
"Haha, nephew Chu Shi's father is also the eighteenth bachelor of the Prince of Qin's palace with a certain person and your father. How can we say that we are distant and distant?"
Xu Jingzong smiles like an old fox, as long as you are stimulated...
Fang Jun was stunned.
The father of this young master is also the eighteenth bachelor of the Prince of Qin's palace?
Is there anyone named Chu?
Fang Jun frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly he slammed the table, pointed at Chu Yanfu and said, "So Mr. Deng is Chu Suiliang's son? I just don't know, why don't you take your father's surname? Is he an adopted son?"
Chu Yanfu was so angry that his neck muscles bulged. He glared at Fang Jun with blazing eyes and said angrily: "This is the son of my father!"
These days, questioning whether someone is his father's biological son is comparable to killing his father!
If Chu Yanfu hadn't realized that he was no match for Fang Jun, he wouldn't have pounced on and strangled this bastard so early... (End of Chapter)
